Place text on document prior to its printout

For routine matters, I need to print instruction documents which come through e-mail, and pass these along to staff to handle them. I regularly print the e-mail and write a note by hand, on the white portion of the document prior to the header part (From, Subject, Date, To, etc.).
I will realy like if there could be a way to create a workflow through which I can be prompted our with an input text box in which I could write (e.g.  X person: please attend this matter, and do such and such, etc.) within that white space that is available, and then proceed with physical printing.
Is there a way to accomplish this through applescript or a printer plugin, service?
thanks,

In Mail you can hit Print > PDF > Open PDF in Preview. Within Preview you can make your notes with the annotation tool and final print out the PDF.

  • Is text mining operations on document binary and its HTML output is simiar?

    Does the text mining operations differ when I perform on document binary or its HTML output? Do you think the results would be the same, if i performed clustering operation on the HTML or text output of a binary document instead of its binary file.
    Please comment!

    I assume you are trying to put an anchor tag in a text item, that points to a document stored elsewhere in the Portal repository.
    Use a direct access URL (search the online help for info on these) to construct the link to the document. You can use a relative URL by leaving out the "http://server.domain:port" part of the URL - e.g. {a href="/pls/portal30/docs/FOLDER/MYROOTFOLDER/MYSUBFOLDER/MyDocument.DOC"} - I'm using {} here instead of <> because real tags get messed up in these forum messages.
    The Portal FAQ explains how to use httpd.conf to define a redirect directive.

  • How to place a word document that autoflows text boxes onto every other page?

    Is there a way to place a word document into InDesign that autoflows text boxes onto every other page?
    Example
    page 1 from word doc imports to page 1 in indesign,
    page 2 from word doc imports to page 3 in indesign,
    page 3 from word doc imports to page 5 in indesign, etc.
    Than, take a different word doc and import to the even pages of the same indesign document,
    Example
    page 1 from word doc#2 imports to page 2 in indesign,
    page 2 from word doc#2 imports to page 4 in indesign,
    page 3 from word doc#2 imports to page 6 in indesign, etc.
    Thanks

    I don't import Word docs... but I don't think there is a simple 1-click solution.
    You probably need to set up a facing pages document with a master text frame on each.
    Create the pages you need and link the left text frames to each other and the right to each other.
    Importing should work from there however not sure how the page-break works (if you have that set-up in Word).

  • [VB CS3] Place text in Headless/Faceless Documents

    Hi,
    I wonder if the Place method (for Tagged Text) is not allowed in headless documents? I do realise that an insertion point is needed, maybe only Server is alllowed to set a selection?
    MyIndi.Place gives "No documents are open"
    MyIDDoc.Place gives "import failed"
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello Harbs,
    That works fine - and looks like it's the preferred way to place anyway. Headless documents do speed up things enormously, so once again: Thank you very very much!

  • Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?

    Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?
    Can such a document be exempted from the cloud feature, a feature that I use for the rest of my stuff?
    If so, how can I do this?

    Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
    Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
    Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
    I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
    If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
    Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

  • How to place a word document in a TextFrame with InDesign CS2 scripting (JavaScript)?

    I´m newbie with InDesign CS2 Scripting (JavaScript). I need some help to understand the way to place a Word document in an indesign template, using JavaScript(.jsx).

  • Applescript freezes upon first run when getting 'text of document 1 of application "Safari" '

    I'm working on an applescript that searches the text of a Safari web page for specific text.  The script  freezes / hangs / times out ONLY during the "first run".  By "first run"  I mean the first time the script is run after a period of time has passed. If the script is run a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time, etc soon thereafter it works perfectly.  If you then wait an extended period of time again, the script freezes exactly as if it were a "first run".  This appears to be independent of whether Safari is open or closed, i.e. the script freezes even if Safari remains open between the last working run and the "first run".
    Details:
    A web page is opened.  I subsequently confirm the page is fully loaded with the following code set-up as a handler:
    tell application "Safari"
         repeat with i from 1 to 15
         if (do JavaScript "document.readyState" in current tab of window 1) is "complete" then
                             exit repeat -- page loading is complete, exiting loop     
         else
                             delay 1
         end if
         end repeat
         if i is greater than or equal to 15 then return false
         if i is less than 15 then return true
    end tell
    The Applescript event log confirms loading is complete and returns a value of true.  I can see the page is fully loaded, and in testing it is fully functional. All is good.
    I then search the text of the fully loaded web page for specific text.  It is this next step where Applescript hangs, but ONLY on the "first run":
    set searchTerm to "find this"
    if text of document 1 of application "Safari" contains (searchTerm as string) then
         -- do stuff
    end if
    The event log shows that applescript starts to "get every text of document 1" and even returns the initial text of the web page but hangs.  Applescrpt returns the following error: "Safari got an error: AppleEvent timed out.  Error -1712".  If I rerun the script at this point the full text of the web page is immediately displayed in the event log, and the script continues succesfully to the end.  The "IF" statement is not the issue per se because I get the same error if I remove the IF and instead set a variable to the value of 'text of document 1 of application "Safari".
    Bottom line - Applescript seems to hang while returning the text of the fully loaded web page, but ONLY on "first run". Any ideas?
    Note:  I've run this directly as an applescript and as a service via Automator.  Same result. I also tried putting the computer to sleep briefly, wake and rerunning the script.  This does not repeoduce the problem so while extended gaps in use cuases the problem, it does not appear that going to sleep during this time is sufficient to cause the issue.

    Thank you twtwtw, very helpful!
    I tried fiddling around with the name of the input variable(s): $@, $0, and $1, and although I could get it to work somewhat, the hangup was always on high ASCII characters like …, —, °, etc…  (They were called “high ASCII” in the old days, perhaps they are called something else now.)
    Checking the long list of output encodings via iconv --list, and trying a bunch of them didn’t work for me.
    But the real trick that worked for me was to do as you said and to change the “Pass input” menu to “to stdin.”
    However, using -t ASCII was suboptimal for high ASCII, so I changed it to -t UTF-8-MAC and it works perfectly now, all the wild international characters and punctuation are maintained! Hooray!  However, upon further testing, removing the pipe to iconv, it seems it’s not needed.
    So this is the final command:
    awk 'BEGIN{print "<ul>"} {print"<li>"$0"</li>"} END{print "</ul>"}'
    So for now this is the whole recipe to create Contextual Menu Items for the Services menu that replaces text snippets with HTML code surrounding them.
    1. Create a new Automator Service document.
    2. Check the box “Output replaces selected text.”
    3. Choose Actions, under Library choose Utilities, then drag Run Shell Script to the working area of the window.
    4. Set the Pass input menu to “to stdin.”
    5. Paste in the command (above).
    6. Save it; I prefix my HTML CMIs with HTML (space space), so this one is, “HTML  unordered list.”
    7. Begin using it. :-)
    Since it took me a while to cobble together the other ones I made, I should probably share them.  Once I get the time to bring over the other “involved” ones I’ll see if I can find out where is the best place to do that.
    Thank you both, red_menace, and twtwtw for your help!

  • Placing Text - When I try to Place Text Nothing Happens

    I am trying to place text into an InDesign document. When I do File-Place, the "place" menu flashes on the screen and then disappears and nothing happens, so I am not able to place the text into InDesign. With other Word files there is no problem. It's just with some Word files that this is happening. Would this be a problem with the Word files that I have from this specific person? Maybe there are some settings on Word files that are not accepted by InDesign's "File-Place"? Or is there a setting on InDesign that is causing the "place" menu to flash and disappear?
    Thank you.

    When you select place, on the place window that appears near the bottom, there is "Show Import Options". Make sure to select this option and apply all appropriate options needed for import, then select file and place.

  • Trading Partner for open item document prior to BCS implementation

    Dear Experts,
    We have just introduced BCS in our company currently. One of the difficulties the user are facing is that the open item (many of them - thousand open item with different currencies and exhange rate) prior to the introduction of BCS does not contain Trading Partner. This ended up that the adjustment on the Trading Partner has to be done in BCS regularly. The amount in value of adjustment is not fixed - since there could be subsequent payment that will clear the open item.
    I understand that TP cannot be changed once posted. Have read a lot in the SAP portal and forum.
    Question: Based on your experience, it there a way that I can overcome this problem? Could SAP somehow allow TP to be assigned to open item document prior to implementation of BCS?
    I hope I can get some answer, otherwise, our user has to diligently continue to put the adjustment until all the open items are cleared.
    Thank you.
    Regards
    Fauzi

    hi,
    Check whether the document type you are using to post is allowed to enter the trading partner.
    To check use the TCODe OBA7  and select the relevent document type. then select the check box enter trading partner under control data.
    and also check the customer you assigned for that posting key 01 is got assigned trading partner in the master record or not(TCOD XD02/XD03).
    thanks.

  • How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    but Pages is NOT a 3rd party app.  it's an application that's programmed by apple.  it's supposed to act something like Word in MS office, but that is not at all true. 
    choices for editing text, highlighting, et al., like what you find in MS Office Word, should be immediately available whenever you are inside of a Pages document, but that is not the case. 
    don't you wish that when you buy an apple app for apple/macs that is supposed to be like a windows something or another that it really is?

    How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

    You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
    You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.
