Problem with opening an excel spreadsheet

Hello,
I need to open an excel sheet when the user clicks on a link.
When I run the code I get SAVE/ DOWNLOAD dialog box.
Is it possible to get around the SAVE/DOWNLOAD dialog and open the excel sheet directly.
In other words, is it possible to download the excel sheet to a temp directory and open it from there.
Please help,
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am able to open the excel sheet successfully from the web application but what is happening is that when it opens it sets the title of the excel sheet as the URL from where it was downloaded.
The problem with this is that the macros within the excel sheet are not working.
If i save the excel sheet and give it a name, the macros are working.
So, obviously it is something to do with the title.
Is it possible for me to pass the filename along with the code to open the excel sheet.
Thanks for your help so far.

Problem with opening MS Excel files through Portal

Hi All,
I have a user that is complaining about the behaviour of MS Excel files in the Portal. The MS Excel files do not match their behaviour at the windows level. The issue has to do with how MS Excel files never seem to open in a maximized sate when you open them from the portal. The same cannot be said about MS Word files. The behaviour of MS word files is consistent between windows and portal.
Solutions will be REWARDED.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Hussain,
I hav uploaded the excel file into my KM contentafter that when i try to open it , it does not open as maximized.
Let me explain:
I create a new excel file on my desktop:
I open this file:
I maximize the workbook and save:
I close Excel and then open the file right back up:
I notice that Excel and the workbook open up maximized. I close Excel again.
I now upload the file to the portal:
I then open the file from here:
It is noticed that the Excel is not maximized. We would like for it to behave as it does from the desktop. In other words, if it is saved as maximized, it should open from the portal that way. If it is saved as half way open, it should open that way from the portal.
I have found that MS Word documents behave in the portal as they do on the desktop. I create an MS Word file on my desktop:
There appears to be something portal related that prevents MS Excel files from opening maximized.
Hope you will be abl to solve the message.
Thanks & Regards,

Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
What can I do ?

Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop. (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)

F-32 : Problem with Open Item selection

Hi,
We have a strange problem with open Item selection for customer clearing in t-code F-32
In My QA system
if I input spl GL indicator ="*" and uncheck Normal OI tick,
the system selects all open items,
(those with spl GL indicator and those without spl GL indicator)
In My Dev system
If I input spl GL indicator ="*" and uncheck Normal OI tick
the system does not select any open items,
Please let me know which setting controls this behaviour ?
Regards
Sachin

Hello,
Check your data in FBL5N for the option "Special GL Transactions". There could be that there is no data in the system with SPECIAL GL TRANSACTIONS.
In F-32, there is no value like *
You need to input right Special GL Indicator. "*" will not work here.
I am sure in both the systems if you put "*" and UNTICK your normal transaction, you will NOT get any items to clear.
Please DOUBLE CHECK whether you have unticked normal transaction.

Ravi

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Open the excel spreadsheet in Excel.

Hi,
I am outputing data as an excel spreadsheet via jsp, but there are no toolbars etc available (for sorting, etc) when displayed within the browser.
Is it possible to always open the excel spreadsheet in the Excel-application (even if the user/client have "Browse in same window" for the file type)?
Thank you

May be this could help:-
The points given below gives idea about how to display the report or
static data for which data is retrieved in the servlet and printed
through jsp.
1. The conversion of report into excel is done by changing the
setContentType of response
in the servlet.The mimeType should be added in mimeTypes of application
server corresponding to the string given in setContentType.The setHeader
is for default file
name for excel
Example:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=file.xls")
Setting Mime type in server(Weblogic):
weblogic.httpd.mimeType. application/vnd.ms-excel =xls
2. In IE the excel is directly downloaded and the user explicitly
saves in the local system.In Netscape the user is given the option to
open the file or save it to the local system
3. Note:
1) It is better if the whole information of the report in a single
table.
2) If the application requires both html and excel format of the same
report to be displayed on certain conditions, it is better to have two
different jsps one for html and other for Excel since the formatting is
different

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

Problem with opening a dmg downloaded file.

I have a problem with opening a dmg file type. Example. I down loaded an update for Onyx. The download is placed on my destop. OnyX.dmg. When I click the file, disk utility opens up. I click OnyX.dmg and it attaches the image. I then have the OnyX disk image on my desktop. I click on OnyX.pkg and get the message "There is no default application specified to open the document "OnyX.pkg"
I remember when I 1st installed the program months ago. I just dragged the icon to the applications folder and was done.

There is something rather odd with your defaults for opening things. Double clicking a .dmg file should cause it to mount automatically using DiskImageMounter, and double clicking a .pkg file ought to cause Installer to run. DiskImageMounter is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter
and the Installer is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer
You can use GetInfo to assign those programs to those file types. You might consider fixing your LaunchServices database. See the discussion thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5744911
Using OnyX is probably the easiest solution.
