OT: Aperture analogue for .pdf, .eml, .doc etc?

Does anyone know if there is a way to view .eml and attachments such as .pdf, .jpg, .doc etcetera in some kind of real size 8 1/2 x 11 inch view on my MacPro or MacBookPro? I am struggling right now with portfolio submissions that I am trying to organize and while I have previously printed out the email /and/ the cover letter /and/ the portfolio, this is getting increasingly difficult to handle.
Is there some kind of software that acts like Coverflow on steroids that will let me drop these into a folder and scroll through them very quickly like I handle my images in Aperture (small icons on left and choice of display and sizes etc) in the Browser?
Somehow Coverflow does not quite cut it since I need to save out the .eml and the .pdf and the .doc (and it is also not showing me the full pdf or the full .doc just the cover page) and Mail or Postbox will let me organize the emails themselves but the attachments stay pretty buried until I open them.
Is there such an animal on the mac continent?
TIA

Hi CO.
Thanks so much for the help here. Sorry for the OT.
Aperture seems really great at making access to images very easy and I am sort of struggling to get my other items together as I push this port to mac forward.
Is it possible there is something that will just sort of "lay them out" or "splay them out" in a way that Aperture seems so good at? I got to realizing that Coverflow and Quicklook are really awesome but I'm wondering if there is a way to expand on this or minimize the organization that is required. I've been looking at FileMaker and I'm also wondering if there isn't some kind of /linkage/ that I can make between my data.
I mean, the problem I am having is that if I take 100 resumes from within Postbox (my Mail equivalent) I have to first move them to a dedicated folder and then I have no real way of seeing the imagery in the portfolios unless I click on the email, select the portfolio and then hit the spacebar and do a quicklook. This will only give me a cover page and then I have to double click on the pdf or .doc or whatever to actually see the contents.
I /think/ Aperture handles pdf's in the same way but if I import them into Aperture (and not all of them will be pdf) I then have disconnected them from their .doc coverletter or even the email that they came in with. You follow me? I mean, I am just sort of hoping to knit this info together a little better in a way I can see it and it isn't buried.
I bought Papers to organize and search for pdf's but somehow this type of thing still seems like the documents that should go together are all going to be very segregated and also hard to see unless you specifically open them. Just thinking out loud and hoping for a recommendation but I almost want a Aperture-Preview-Coverflow hybrid in a way...
I mean, I have organized these into 3 Ring binders so I can pull them out and see it all at once but I can't figure out how I would do this in my mac which really should be the place I handle this from now on...
Do you see where I am at?

  • Phonegap - loading an external PDF/XLS/DOC/etc, what happens?

    Hey all,
    I'd like to make a phonegap app but I'm curious how one part of it will act.
    This would be a very simple brochare-ware type app (like apps that show off cars, etc). It will contain office-esque docs (.pptx, .docx, .xlsx, .pdf, etc). These documents will be hosted on the web. If the user chooses to view one of these files, is it possible to contain the document so you don't leave the app?
    What I'm thinking is I'll need to insert an iframe somewhere and point it to the resource. Will this keep me inside the app?
    My biggest fear is making an app with phonegap and every time a user wants to view a PDF (or anything) it leaves the app and launches safari to go view the asset. I'd like to remain inside the app at all times when viewing these resources.
    Does anyone know if an iframe approach would work? Other alternatives?
    Thanks for tips!

    For the time being, store everything in the same folder (as good a place as any) and use code like you showed. 

  • Pixi Plus-Can't Delete PDF or Doc View Items

    I have a long list of items on my PDF list that I can't delete.  I also have a few items on my Doc View which won't delete.  I've tried going the USB route, but nothing shows up for the PDF and I can't find a place for the Doc View.  I've also tried resetting my phone multiple times, both before and after using the USB.  Please help, wasting precious memory space!
    Post relates to: Pixi Plus p8wu0 (AT&T)

    Hello!
    There is no specific directory on the USB drive PDF view and Doc view will look for these files.  When looking at these files throught the app, are the sizes 0?   These files can be put anywhere in the USB drive side of the device and the apps would find them.  These apps do not have file management so cannot delete, must do this through USB drive mode on the device.  Plug the device into you computer and do a search on the Palm Pixi driver for .PDF and .doc files.  Once found, take note of the filepatch they reside in for future reference.

  • New to iPad from android/PC...How can I view PDF, XLS, DOC files when I am not connected to wifi?

    I understand that GoodReader is able to open PDF, XLS, DOC, etc., but is not actually able to edit them. 
    Documents-to-Go can edit them, but will they be stored on my iPad?
    Evernote seems to be able to access them without being connected to wifi, but cannot edit spreadsheets that I am aware of.
    Does anyone have any good suggestions to be able to access documents while in airplane mode?

    GoodReader, Documents to Go, Pages, Numbers can all store documents on the iPad.

  • Repeatedly asked what program to oper PDF, Word, Wav, etc. despite defaults being set in tools, box checked

    Despite setting defaults for PDF, Word Docs, Wav files and box being checked. I am asked EVERY time; "what program would you like Firefox to use."

    Can you post an example link that is publicly accessible?
    Sites can cause the download prompt to appear regardless of your settings, using one of two methods:
    * Identifying the file as a generic MIME type using the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' header.
    * Sending the ''Content-Disposition: attachment'' header.
    You can check if that's the case by examining the response headers for the file request in question, using the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K).

  • How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
    Check the apps James Ward suggests.

  • I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

    I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

    We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
    Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This might help as well.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

  • Can Azure Search support indexing of documents (pdf, doc etc)

    Hi,
    I want to implement the azure search service indexing of documents (pdf, docs etc). is it possible ? if yes, then how ?
    Thanks

    Hi Shib,
    I wanted to respond with a few ideas based on your question.  As of today, we do not have a document cracker for Azure Search to allow you to index the content from files such as the ones you suggested.  This is a pretty highly requested feature
    (http://feedback.azure.com/forums/263029-azure-search/suggestions/6328662-blob-indexing-w-file-crackers), but we have not too date been able
    to prioritize this. 
    In the meantime, somethings you might consider looking at are iFilter or Apache Tika.  These are both great options that would allow you to programmatically extract the text from these files.  Based on the extracted text you could then post the
    content to Azure Search.  I personally think this example on CodeProject is a pretty good starting point if you were to consider using iFilter:

    I hope that helps.

  • Api for OCR and reading .pdf and .doc(x) files

    Hi Guys,
    Happy new year to you all!
    I am trying to write an app that will read the text in an image, a .pdf or .doc(x) file and extract some information from it. I want this app to be a universal windows app. Is there an api for performing these actions?
    Thanks and God bless.
    The best things in life are free, but the most valuable ones are costly...use opportunities well for there are others like you who deserves them, but don't have them...

    No built-in APIs, but I am sure there are third-party APIs for this.

  • Firefox 17.0 for Mac OS X missing Preferences- Applications- Preview Doc (application/PDF) entry to set behavior for PDF files

    I want to set Firefox to automatically download or save a PDF without the panel coming up to ask me. However, when I go to Firefox->Preferences->Applications there is no entry for PDF files to set it to open or save the file without asking me (i.e., no Preview Document (application/PDF).
    I am using Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS X 10.6.8 using Intel Core 2 Duo

    I have .pdf associated with Preview. The issue is that in Firefox->Preferences-> Application tab does NOT contain an entry for Preview Document ((application/PDF) which is needed to do an association that will occur automatically every time Firefox encounters a doc of that type. (the application tab has Preview Document (image/<6 types>) but no entry for the PDF format.

  • To featch the documents (.PDF,.DOC etc) from DMS (Content server)

    I want to featch the document like pdf,doc etc through ORACLE databse.The documents are in DMS content server having MAXDB as database

    > I want to featch the document like pdf,doc etc through ORACLE databse.The documents are in DMS content server having MAXDB as database
    Ok, where's the question in this post?
    Anyhow, SAP content server is available on MaxDB only.
    The documents in it are stored in LOB-columns with a content server-internal format.
    To get the stored files back as documents they must be fetched via the content server.
    Once the files are correctly received from the content server you may store them to another database again.
    But there is no direct way to move them from MaxDB content server to Oracle.
    regards,

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......
