Opening different file types

Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0 (Production)
Hi
How can you open different file types saved in the database as BLOBs using Webutil? I am capturing the filename and extension as well.
The file types are: Excel Spreadsheets, MS Word, PDF, Mail Attachments (outlook)
I am aware of web.show_document but using that, don't the files need to be on a server?
I don't want to use javabeans, if that helps.
thanks

Hello,
Webutil is enough ;-)

    Get Info window is where you can change things:
    Right click (Control click) on the file icon using the Finder.
    Take a look at the Open with: part of the Get Info window to set the app for that file extension. Click the Change All button so all of these file types open using your preferred application.

  • Is there a way to save a form, once filled out, as a different file type in Reader?

    I have Acrobat, my coworkers only have Reader. Company won't purchase Acrobat for the other employees.
    I built a form for my coworkers to fill out. We need them to be able to send the filled out form to clients, but we don't want the clients to be able to edit the forms.
    I understand people with only Reader can't flatten the document, or add a password, or save it as non editable. As I understand it, even with Acrobat I can't assign a password for Reader users to be able to edit or not edit a file (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on that one).
    Is there any way to save the PDF form once it's been filled out (in Reader) as a different file type? Even an image? The file we send to clients doesn't have to be a PDF. Just something that most people can open.
    I tried inserting the PDF into a word document (unreadably pixelated) and tried taking a snapshot of the entire page (resolution too low). I've tried downloading one of the free PDF writers and it apparently won't work with our network security (or something along those lines). I've tried using the pdf writer for Firefox on the form once it was filled out, and that won't work either because our network firewall seems to be blocking it and that's not something they are willing to take down.
    Any advice?

    The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
    I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
    I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
    Thanks again.

  • Finding missing files that are a different file type?

    I had several folders of jpegs that i converted to dng with lightroom.  I lost the dng files and now i only have the original jpegs.  when i introduce them back to lightroom it no longer recognizes them because of the different file type.  When i "find" and individul file it works and the missing dng is replaced with the jpeg.
    The find nearby files option does not work and finding thousands of files individually is just not going to work.  I don't want to reimport because i will lose all the work i have done to these files.
    Any ideas?  Maybe I should wait for 3.0?
    thanks,
    Braden

    ... the dng converter wont convert a jpeg to dng only camera raw files...
    Didn't know about that.
    In this case, you can use Lightroom to convert to DNG:
    Start a fresh catalog.
    Import all your JPEGs.
    Use the Convert to DNG command in Library module to convert all JPEGs at once. It will place the new DNGs in the same catalog as the source JPEGs.
    Open the original catalog where the DNGs are missing — the old catalog should be fine finding the newly created DNGs now.
    You can now trash the "new" catalog.

  • Having trouble opening different files. What will open files

    I want to clean out my libraries. I have a lot of different items I have downloaded over time. First I don't know all the different file types. In trying to open each item?, file?, or whatever, a lot of them won't open. The options that always open up for me to choose to open with are Windows Live Movie Maker, Windows Movie Maker, Windows Media Center, Windows Photo Viewer, Word Pad, Windows Live Photo Gallery, and Open Office. Is there anything that opens different types of files? I can't download a program for each file type plus every thing you download brings things with it that mess up your computer. I would really like to know what each item in my library is so I can either keep it, delete it, print it, or what ever. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You can delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

  • E70 PDF Reader : Unable to open. File type not sup...

    This morning I have bought an E70, among others due to its highscreen resolution and the possibility to run a PDF reader on it.
    I have now tried ...
      - the pre-installed Adobe PDF Reader
      - the Adobe PDF Reader supplied with the PC Suite CD-ROM
      - the Adobe PDF Reader available on europe.nokia.com
    I am fascinated by a software which presents itself in the About box as '1.5', prompts during installation for '1.0.5' and has filenames '1_5_0'.
    Apart from minor variations in the SIS filenames they all share the same annoying feature: They refuse to display any of my PDF files but display a message 'Unable to open. File type not supported. 5. !' instead.
    It doesn't seem to be a problem of the PDF files, since a collegue of mine was able to open them on his E61 or E70 (forgot to ask).
    Any idea what this problem could be caused by?

    I am speechless -- but happy.
    The complaint about the file type only appears if you try to open a PDF stored in the phone memory but not if you try to open a PDF stored on the memory card.
    Problem solved.

  • Bridge 6 will not open common file types - e.g., jpeg, but CS6 has no problem with them

    I had had CS5.1 and CS6 on this PC. I uninstalled CS5.1; now, I can open common file types (eg.g, *.jpf, *.bmp) directly from CS6. However, Bridge 6 triggers an error message to the effect that "Windows cannot find (....\CS5.1) - in other words, Windows still wants to associate file types in Bridge *^* to CS 5.1 - not to CS6. As a result, bridge is effectively dead in the water.

    Yet another case of what happens when you uninstall an old version with a newer one present.
    The old version takes a lot of registry items with it on the way out, leaving empty pointers to itself rather than the new version still present. It's as if the old version uninstaller can't imagine the possibility of anything newer, so it just says to the OS "Photoshop is no longer installed". It's not just file associations, Lightroom users have reported similar problems with "Edit in Photoshop".
    Sometimes these pointers can be easily re-established, but more often a full uninstall/reinstall is needed, maybe with a run of the CC cleaner tool tossed in for good measure.
    This happens all the time, posts like this trickle through the forum at a steady state. I can't imagine why this has never been acknowledged, and why Adobe officials keep saying that it's perfectly safe to uninstall previous versions. It's not. Yes, it could well be that the bug, or whatever you prefer to call it, is ultimately in the Windows registry. But this happens with such solid regularity that some official recognition would be in order.
    The safe procedure is to always uninstall in strict reverse version order, then reinstall.

  • How to open the file types of iOSApp(ipa),EPUBFile(.epub) in windows 7(32 bit)

    How to open the file types of iOSAPP(ipa),EPUBfile(.epub) in windows 7(32 bit)

    iOS apps can be added to an iTunes library and thereafter transferred to an iOS device. They cannot be opened directly on a PC.
    epub files can be added to an iTunes library, and thereafter transferred to an iOS device where they can be read with the iBooks application. Files protected with Apple's DRM cannot be opened directly on a PC, though there are programs such as Kindle and Calibre that will open non-protected epub files.

  • How to define the application to use for opening each file type (pdf, jpg,...)

    I installed an external application, and this new application has been configured by defect that it will be used to open all files with extensions like jpg, pdf, etc...
    I want to revert this situation and define again the proper application I want to use for opening each file type. How can I do this in Lion?
    Thanks,
    Azaldier

    Pick a representative file.
    Get info. (Command-i)
    There you will see a place "Open with" where you can select the application for that file.
    Hit the "Change all..." button to do this for all files of this type.

  • Do you want to use RarGenie to open this file type??

    The short answer is NO!
    Another user of my laptop (honest) downloaded some software that changed our default search engines to searchmoose.
    I deleted the app, the accompanying "Install Mac" folder in the applications and reset all the search engines.
    Everything now seems fine, except for when I download a Rar file, I get a popup window asking "Do you want to use RarGenie to open this file type??"
    I've ran a CalmXav scan which came back with nothing. I've followed the instructions for others who have had similar issues, but still have the issue. I've even allowed RarGenie to try and expand a folder, then used AppCleaner to remove all accompanying files, but I still have the issue.
    Is there anything else I can try?

    Thanks!
    That seems to have sorted it.
    I'd tried all the stuff on that page and run AdwareMedic before, but it didn't pick up anything.
    I ran it again this morning and it found 3 files which, once removed, stopped the annoying prompt.
    Your advice is much appreciated.

  • Different File Types to Import - To Conver or not to convert?

    I have a project that I am dealing with which is requiring several different file types. Mainly .avi exported from VEGAS and footage ripped from a DVD.
    I have heard that it is best to use MPEG Streamclip to convert everything to a DVPro format (I am outputting in SD for broadcast) but wouldn't that just cause more compression?
    What is the best way to handle multiple file formats and the best output settings for broadcast when dealing with multiple formats? Thanks!

    The Avi's might work OK as they are, but the DVD footage has to go through MPEG streamclip. You might have to do this with the Avi's too, but not always... depends on the codec that was used to capture them in Vegas.
    Might try putting the AVI's in Compressor for the conversion if need be, as it might look a bit better in the end. But you've no choice with the files ripped from the DVD.

  • Encoding different file types to binary

    Hi, im writing an application which takes different file types and then encodes them to be sent down a noisy channel, after random effects the data must be decoded back to binary. I have done the algorthims for encoding and decoding binary but i dont know how convert the file types to binary. (files such as jpgs and mp3 and txt)

    ...i know how to do the encoding on binary ...
    ...im not sure how to do this...Maybe you could start by explaining the problem in detail to yourself such that you understand it, then come back and tell us.
    Are you concerned about a difference between a JPG file vs a text file? Text files, in the context you are describing, can be treated as binary just as easily. Use a FileInputStream to read it and you get bytes just like any other file.

  • Contribute tries to open all file types

    Contribute 3 tries to open all file types, in addition to the
    designated application. You click on "file.doc" and contribute AND
    word try to open the file. You have to cancel the open process for
    contribute at least three times to make it go away. Then the file
    open as usual in word. I have checked the preferences and removed
    all "MS Office" file types from the dialog. I have checked the
    folder options and verified that Contribute is NOT the assigned
    application in Windows to open the file.
    Help this is very annoying!

    I'm glad to know there are other people out there with the
    same problem... but has anyone found a solution yet?

  • I want to change the way Safari opens a file type.

    Is there a forum for Windows users of Safari?
    I am using Windows 7 and just downloaded Safari 5.1.7
    I want to change the way Safari opens a file type. Specifically the AVI file type. I would like Safari to cause VLC Player to launch, outside of Safari, and play the AVI file. I don't find that Safari provides me with a method to change how Safari will open a file. Presently Safari will do nothing when I pull down the file menu, select "open", and then select an AVI file from a disk folder. I have Opera, Firefox and IE launching VLC,,,, but not Safari.

    Yes, the Safari for Windows forum is here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari?view=discussions#/?tagSet= 1041
    I have asked the Hosts to move your post to that forum.

  • Different file types

    I really dislike about Numbers that if I work with any other file type than *.numbers I can´t directly save in that file.
    I am working as evolution biologist and I mostly work with *.csv and *.tsv for different programs.
    Numbers should really be able to save in the original file type.
    Cause I dislike exporting each file as *.csv, open it in TextEdit and change each separation symbol from ";" to TABs for example.
    Or do I miss a button in that program ?
    Cheers
    Niklas

    Hi Gaia,
    Cause I dislike exporting each file as *.csv, open it in TextEdit and change each separation symbol from ";" to TABs for example.
    If you need tab-delimited data (.tsv), instead of exporting as .csv and then converting you can just select the cells with the data, command-c to copy, and you will then have tab-delimited data on the system clipboard.  You can paste then that into TextEdit and save with a .tsv extension or paste directly into other apps that accept tab-separated data.
    A simple AppleScript can also save a .tsv file at the touch of a keyboard shortcut.  I haven't done that because I find copy-paste easier.
