Problems opening ePub.zip files in iBooks?
I write book reviews and recently the publisher I work for has stopped sending press copies and only sends eBook copies in the form of ePub.zip files. They claim the files will work on Nook e-readers and "most other available e-readers". The problem is that I can't get these to open in iBooks. When I tap on the ePub attachment in my email I'm given the option to "Open in iBooks" as well as Dropbox, Evernote and a few others. When I choose iBooks I can see the cover art for the book in iBooks (marked NEW) but it refuses to actually open.. when I tap on the icon it darkens but does nothing else. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? Dropbox and evernote both say the file cannot be displayed... do I need to do some sort of conversion to the file to open it?? HELP I only have 30 days to read and review each book and I've got TWO of them on deck!!
If it's zipped (e.g. compressed) it would have to be unzipped first. Don't know if there is an unzipping utility available for iOS. Search the App Store. If there is not, you'd need to unzip them on a computer, then transfer them to your iPad.

Problems opening documents (zip files, excel) after upgrade to Snow Leopard
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I have not been able to open a lot of files. Mainly, zip files and excel documents (which I had no problem opening before the upgrade. It seems that when I save the files down (from my email or whatever) the files go into the "Archive Utility" program, I try to open them from the Finder but they still won't open (or unzip).
When I go to open an excel document (most likely from a PC user), I get a msg that the file isn't formated for excel. However, before the upgrade to Snow Leopard I had no issue opening this same file in Mac Office-Excel.
Thanks in advance for your help/advise.
-KatherineHello Katherine:
I have not experienced those problems, but I do not receive Excel spreadsheets via E-mail. My Stuffit Expander version is 13.0.2.
You might want to check your Excel preferences to see if there is a setting that needs to be changed (compatibility?). I use Office 2004 so your version may be different.
You could also trash preference files to see if something happened during the install.

Problem opening a zip file within a jar file
Hi,
I have a jar file in a tomcat web server. The jar file includes a zip file which I've been trying to open with the following sentences:
SpellDictionary dict = null;
File f = new File(getClass().getResource*("us_US.zip"*).getFile());
dict = new OpenOfficeSpellDictionary( new ZipFile( f ) );
I'm getting this exception:
2007-09-13 15:31:38 java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:203)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:84)
at com.iir.newsAdministration.textEditor.TextEditorSpellChecker.<init>(TextEditorSpellChecker.java:62)
If I run the application with the builded classes instead of the jar file, it works fine.
Any ideas about how can I make it work with the jar file?
Thanks in advance
NatalieFile f = new File(getClass().getResource*("us_US.zip"*).getFile());
This is not going to work.
What you need to do is create a Jar/ZipFile from your jar, then extract the ZipFile, put that in a temporary location, then open that with another ZipFile object -

Opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal
Hi all
I am facing a problem while opening a .zip file from Enterprise portal. It gives the error- "Cannot open file- It doesnt appear to be a valid archieve" for every file.
Is there any setting to be done in SAP Netweaver or is it the system limitation.
Please help...

I hope it will make the picture clear.

Hi
I am making a zip file using GZIPOutputStream. But I am not able to open the zip file that is created using win zip.The size of the zipped file is 81 KB and the input file is 3,245 KB.I have closed all the streams still I am not able to figure out the problem.Any idea where I am going wrong ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here my code goes:
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ZipFile
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
ZipFile("D:\\Java\\Test\\INPUTXML_bkp_1.xml");
public static String ZipFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
String name = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1 ,fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
String filePath = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf(name));
String newFileName = new StringBuffer(name).append(".zip").toString();
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
GZIPOutputStream zipOutputStream = new GZIPOutputStream(outputStream);
FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
byte[] temp = new byte[10000000];
int counter = inputStream.read(temp,0,temp.length);
zipOutputStream.write(temp,0,counter);
inputStream.close();
zipOutputStream.finish();
zipOutputStream.close();
return newFileName;
Thanks
RiteshThanks for the reply.
I changed my code to look like this:
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ZipFile
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
ZipFile("D:\\Java\\Test\\INPUTXML_bkp_1.xml");
public static String ZipFile(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException,IOException
String name = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('\\') +1 ,fileName.lastIndexOf('.'));
String filePath = fileName.substring(0,fileName.indexOf(name));
String newFileName = new StringBuffer(name).append(".zip").toString();
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(newFileName);
ZipOutputStream zipOutputStream = new ZipOutputStream(outputStream);
ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
zipOutputStream.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
zipOutputStream.finish();
zipOutputStream.close();
return newFileName;
Now I can atleast open the zip file. But the problem is the size of the file is 0 kb. Probably because, I am not populating the Zip entry. Can u pls let me know how do I do that.
Thanks

You need a third party app. Take a look at some of these on this Google page.

Error when opening a zipped file transfred to the FTP via ABAP program
Hi All,
I have extracted the files from al11 and have zipped them and moved the zipped file to FTP site.
But when I open the zipped file in FTP site, it shows the file names, but they dont look like real files(looks as text)...Even when copied the zipped file to the local pc and tried opening it the result was same.
Note : For testing when the same zipped file is written to al11 and dowloaded from there using CG3y it works fine.
Also created a zipped folder manualy and copied it to the FTP site and tried opening it.....It opened but displayed there are no records in it (which is incorrect), But when copied the same file back to local PC it displayed correctly.
Please let me know hoe to resolve this issue.
Regards

Acrobat 9 tries to open all .zip files
Acrobat 9 tries to open all zip files I attempt to download - not just zipped PDF's. Under folder management, the zip file type is not associated with Acrobat and is not showing with a PDF icon. The zip file will not open in any unzipping program, it just goes to Acrobat.
When I download any zip file I get a message like this:
Acrobat could not open "somefilename.zip" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
This happens with every zip file - how do I disassociate Acrobat from all zip file types?You need to change the file type association in Windows Explorer of the Folders Control Panel.
The easiest way would to use Windows Explorer to find a file with the ".ZIP" file extension and then use the right mouse click to bring up the context menu. You can then select the "Open With..." option, make sure you check the option to set the 'always associate' (it is the only option) and then find WinZip, PKZip, RAR, or what ever program you use to open the "ZIP" type file. -

It takes three tries to successfully open a PDF file in iBooks.
This is regarding ipad2.
When I click on "open in iBooks," the bookshelf opens up and right upper circular icon spins as if it's about to open file, but the it stops and reverts back to edit button without anything else happening. So I try a second time on the "open in iBooks" from the PDF page, and this time, the icon of the PDF file appears on the bookshelf but then disappears a few seconds after that. If I happen to click on the icon before the icon disappears, the PDF will open but then will also disappear same few seconds later and then iPad goes back to home page or it opens up the "books" bookshelf. So third times a charm--clicking on "open in iBooks" the third time will finally open up PDF file in iBooks and incorporate it into the library.
Not sure if this is due (1) to size of my library--some 600+ PDFs, (2) recently upgraded to iBooks 2.1--can't remember if this started before or after. I also just upgraded to iOS 5.1 yesterday hoping and thinking this would resolve the issue but it hasn't. Anyone with any suggestions?Hi Alan,
Sorry for the late response. i was busy with other work.
Through InputStream i can get the Remote remote resource by establishing the HttpURLConnection with the cookie information(that's how it can get credentials). But i don't know how to view the file using PDF_Renderer.
when i use the below code, it is working fine(i used PdfReader to read the InputStream ) but Sample.pdf is creating on the desktop of the system beacause of FileOutputStream which used as a parameter of PdfStamper.
// create a stamper that will copy the document to a new file named Sample.pdf
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader,
new FileOutputStream("Sample.pdf"));
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "+"Sample.pdf");
Please provide me some solution through PDF_Renderer. i checked the api, i didn't get any idea.
Thanks. -
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD instead of downloading
Dear all,
Safari opening linked .zip files directly from DVD (via Windows explorer) instead of downloading it tru browser click - it's working just fine in FF, Chrome IE. Is this a known issue? or something can be done by modifying browser setting/pref.
Expecting more advise on this.
Configurations: Windows XP
Safari: 5.1.7
Note: ensured there is no space in the file path, just linked the .zip file using href attribute!
Also tried with .xls, .doc insted of .zip same issue appearing.
Thanks in advance,
ThirilogHi
appzapper & such are pretty flaky at removing things usefully, imo.
Use the uninstaller for speed download - http://www.yazsoft.com/products/speed-download/faqs/?how-to-un-install-speed-dow nload-properly
or get a hold of FindAnyFile or easyfind & search for Growl & Speeddownload & yazsoft - but from all I hear, the uninstaller works fine.
Failing that, Safari's settings plist file isn't in caches
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist
is the place
& if you're still stuck, test & maybe download another browser using a New User Account. -
