Quickly open of documents in a large document library

I would like to find a solution to be able to quickly open documents that are in a document library that contains sub folders.
I already discarded the file system, and generation of workspace because they have physical limitations. my document library is very large.
I'm sure there is a solution.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open of documents in a large document library.
If you install OWA, you can open the documents in the brower directly.
If you only install Office, you can open the documents without saving them.
However, you need to set Browser File Handling to select Permissive.
For more information, you can refer to:

You can always shut it down manually via the Task Manager
(CtrlShiftEsc)...

"The document can't be opened because it's too large."

I just copied a Numbers '09 file I just made at work (and can still open there) to my MBP and when I try to open it, I get a "The document can’t be opened because it’s too large." error. It's only 1.4MB. I tried reinstalling iWork and re-saving and copying the file to no avail. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas?

I am having a similar problem. I am evaluating Numbers 09 for the first time and would like to get rid of Excel, which seems incredibly slow to open. I'm ready for a change and I like the look and feel of Numbers.
I am working with an export file of data from FileMaker Pro - 3900 rows by 336 colums, so over 1.3 million potentially filled cells. My MacBook Pro has 2 gb of RAM and currently shows 185 free, 495 inactive, 557 wired, and 804 active.
When I try to open the txt file (8.3 mb), I get the error message referred to above. When I open it in Excel, it immediately opens. I can then save it as an Excel file. When I try to open this Excel file in Numbers, it will open but I get a message stating that only 255 or fewer columns are supported.
Could this possibly be right? Granted, who in their right mind would create a data table with that many columns, but when working with legacy data (which is why I have a job) this is often the case and it's my job to clean it up.
Any assistance in both of my errors would be appreciated . . . even if the advice is to stick with Excel

Have Windows XP and Adobe 9 Reader and need to send a series of large documents to clients as a matter of urgency When I convert 10 pages a MS-Word file to Pdf this results in file of 6.7 MB which can't be emailed. Do I combine them and then copy

I have Windows XP and Adobe 9 Reader and need to send a series of large documents to clients as a matter of urgency When I convert 10 pages a MS-Word file to Pdf this results in file of 6.7 MB which can't be emailed. Do I combine them and then copy to JPEG 2000 or do I have to save each page separately which is very time consuming Please advise me how to reduce the size and send 10 pages plus quickly by Adobe without the huge hassles I am enduring

What kind of software do you use for the conversion to pdf? Adobe Reader can't create pdf files.

Can't print large documents.

For years, we've been printing large documents to our plotter without issue. Suddenly last week, nothing large will print.
I've seen a few different error messages, and have tried different computers, and different versions of Illustrator, but nothing large will print.
When trying to print, I currently get the following:
I've also seen an error suggesting not enough memory is available, which is bogus. And I think another error that was more vague, something to the effect of "can't print"
I've setup a clean install of illustrator on a clean windows install, same issue.
I setup an alternate print server with our rip software, same software we've been using for years. Same error on the alternate server.
Nothing changed, and it's effecting everything here, and new installs. I don't know what happened, but this is getting critical, we need the ability to print.

EFI eXpress v. 4.1
This all worked fine until a week ago, so I don't think there should be a hardware software compatibility issue. The software and hardware were all working fine, and then we got blindsided by this stubborn error that came out of nowhere, won't go away, and has no error or log that gives us any useful information.
It isn't a font issue. I've created a basic test document that just consists of the word test. Using this same font, I've had success printing documents that are 37"x79", 39"x75". But, when I print 39"x79", it fails. i've not zeroed in on the size that seems to be the cutoff, but I knew that a 37x75 worked, and 40x80 didn't, and 39x79 didn't either. So, playing around with the numbers I found the above that did work.
Also, using the general epson driver that you can get on epson's site, any print job can be sent without issue. It's just that anything beyond 90 inches gets cut off.
I suppose this suggests the problem lies with EFI. But, a clean install of EFI didn't resolve the issue. What it comes down to for me is, the error is generated from Adobe. So, at the least, I'd like an explanation from Adobe as to what the error is, since their software is generating it, and giving me no reason why it failed. Plus, there's no way I can justify to management the cost of bringing in a 3rd party support for the EFI software, unless I have a better reason why the EFI software worked last week, but not this week, so I really need better data out of Adobe as to why it fails.
I currently have a paid case open with Adobe, but they seem to be having difficulty as well, so far it's been a lot of time on hold, and a little bit of "try this, try that, try this", which is getting nowhere. I need something more methodical to happen, and some actual following of data, or checking of logs, to get some detailed information, hopefully the case will get escalated to someone with a bit more in depth knowledge on these things.
I will keep posting the details here as they emerge, because there's nothing I hate more than a forum thread with a problem I'm experiencing, that doesn't end with an answer. I think forums should do a better job of either posting a resolution, or purging the cases that don't resolve, to get rid of the useless junk that clogs the internet and wastes people's time searching for answers.

Larger Document Appears Black and Displays Incorrectly

Hello,
I have just purchased Web Premium CS4. Photoshop CS4 Extended was included with the package and I installed and ran it. Sadly any large document I tried to open appears black and sometimes when I zoom in partly displays with random black lines through it. I have checked my system's specs and they all match up with the requirements. I am running Vista SP1 on a Dell computer. I have read all the knowledge base articles relating to this matter and have done everything they said (including disabling OpenGL, etc.) but still the problem continues. Is there any way or patch/addon to fix this?
Thank You So Much,
Bailey

Do they open up in other images manipulation software packages? Try CS3 if you have it.
What size, format (psb, tiff, etc) are they?
I've only experienced what you say with corrupt files...I hope that's not the case here.

Acrobat 6.0 Professional- Having Trouble with a Large Document-Please Help

Using Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Working with a large document (1400 pages, 25 megs). I broke it into two parts to make it easier to work with. However, even though the two parts are now 700 pages, they are each still 25 megs. It appears that each document is retaining the full history of the document, perhaps as restore points. How do I purge the history so the document is small and more manageable?

I am not sure if version 6 can optimize PDF files but in version 9, you have to follow these instructions:
Optimize a PDF
Note: Optimizing a digitally signed document removes and invalidates the digital signatures.
Open the PDF Optimizer dialog box.
To use the default settings, choose Standard from the Settings menu, and then skip to step 6. If you change any settings in the PDF Optimizer dialog box, the Settings menu automatically switches to Custom.
From the Make Compatible With menu, choose Retain Existing to keep the current PDF version, or choose an Acrobat version. (The options available in panels vary depending on this choice.)
Select the check box next to a panel (for example, Images, Fonts, Transparency), and then select options in that panel. To prevent all of the options in a panel from executing during optimization, deselect the check box for that panel.
(Optional) To save your customized settings, click the Save button and name the settings. (To delete a saved setting, choose it in the Settings menu and click Delete.)
When you are finished selecting options, click OK.
In the Save Optimized As dialog box, click Save to overwrite the original PDF with the optimized PDF, or select a new name or location.To optimize several documents at the same time, use the Output options for the Batch Processing command.
It is worth a try assuming you have this facility in version 6.
Always backup the document before doing this.
Good luck.

Can't print large document in landscape orientation

I have a large document (16x32") that I am trying to print on a single legal sized page.
I have landscape mode selected in Page Setup, yet when I select Print and tell it to print to a single Legal page (under Paper Handling I select Scale To Fit Paper Size and then select US Legal), it ends up printing in portrait orientation--even though the preview in the Print dialog box has it in landscape.
I have printed this document before (a month or two ago) and it worked fine. There have been I think 2 updates in the intervening weeks, has one of the updates changed something about printing?
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Details: Pages 5.1, OS X Mavericks 10.9.1, MacBook Pro (late 2008)

OK, guys, try this:
Open Pages.
Creat a new file. --I picked the template "Blank" (which starts in portrait mode, mind you) in the "Basic" group.
Go to File->Page Setup.
Select Paper Size->Manage Custom Sizes.
Click the "+" and create a new custom paper size. Title it "Really Big Paper" or whatever.
Make the paper size 34 wide by 56 high. (Again, portrait orientation). Click “OK”.
Make the paper landscape orientation and click “OK”.
Put something in the file—like a big light gray box (make its Opacity <50% so you don’t waste ink) that fills up the whole page.
Select File->Print
Click the popup menu that says “Layout” and select “Paper Handling”
Click the box for “Scale to fit paper size” and select “US Legal” as the Destination Paper Size.
Click the “Print” button.
What do you get? I get a gray box horizontally across the middle third of a portrait oriented page. What I want is a page almost entirely filled with gray, which is what would happen if it really printed in landscape mode.
You can fool around with the custom paper size and start with it shorter on width or shorter on height, but if you want to print a document that is large and is wider than it is tall, when you print it on a single page, it will always print **across the middle of a portrait oriented page** and not in landscape mode.
I can repeat this on both my HP and Canon printers. Same result. So it isn’t the print driver, unless you think HP and Canon have the same bug in their print drivers (fairly unlikely, I would guess). You can print to PDF and you get the same result, too.
Again: printing worked fine for me a few weeks (and one or two Pages updates) ago!

Max Character File Size Limit exceeded.The document is too large to process

Hi
I have made set on section on products in report.
the Reports contains around 50 products when im opening the report
in draft mode the following error is displayed
"Max Character File Size Limit exceeded.The document is too large to be proceesed by the server .Contact your business Objects Administrator."
can some body help me out how to increase my report character file size

Hi,
If you are using Business Objects XIR2, there is a performance parameter in the Web_Intelligence Report Server where you can increase the size of that file. The parameter is Maximun Character File Size. Go to the CMC>Server>server.Web_IntelligenceReportServer in the Properties tab you will see it.

How to convert a large document into a InDesign Book w/Chapters?

Hello!
I just started a position with a company that has a number of catalogs full of the widgets they sell. Previously the catalog work was outsourced to a company that uses Quark, and the first thing I did when I started was to convert them to InDesign using a 3rd party plugin.
The one I'm working on now is 400+ pages, including a TOC and 2 indexes (words / item nos.), and is currently 4 VERY large files that take 5-10 minutes each to open.
What I'd like to do is split the entire catalog along logical lines into a bunch of 10-50 page documents, then stitch them all back together as Chapters in a Book file. The plan is to have the smaller documents be usable either as stand-alone brochures or as pieces of the big catalog. Once I can get it all organized the way I want, I'll be redoing the TOC and indexes as well.
So, to boil it down to a few questions:
1. How do I split a large document into smaller pieces?
2. I have a basic understanding of creating a Book file, but are there any pitfalls I should watch out for when stitching the bits back together?
3. Is it possible to have page numbering automated so that if I open a chapter on its own the pages will be, say, 1-20; but if I open it in the context of the book file the pages will be, say, 84-104?
4. Are the page numbering, TOC, and indexing tools flexible enough to where if I modify a section such that it adds or removes pages in that section, the entire book file will restructure to accommodate?
A thousand thanks in advance to all who read this, and to any who respond!

Saving x-number of copies as new names, then chop off the unwanted parts is pretty efficient.
2. I have a basic understanding of creating a Book file, but are there any pitfalls I should watch out for when stitching the bits back together?
Nothing specific, other than learning the ins and outs of working with book files. For example, if you change a style in one file, you'd want to use the Synchronize feature to propagate the change to the other files, but you'd also need to remember if any change in one file shouldn't be propagated to others, and deselect it in the Synchronize dialog box.
It's a good idea to open all and save all book files before doing any book-wide operation; even better to save the whole directory for safety. Working on open files gives you some undo powers that working with closed files doesn't.
3. Is it possible to have page numbering automated so that if I open a chapter on its own the pages will be, say, 1-20; but if I open it in the context of the book file the pages will be, say, 84-104?
The individual files need to be checked and perhaps updated or have their numbering restarted when they're removed from the book file's control. It depends on how you've set up the numbering.
4. Are the page numbering, TOC, and indexing tools flexible enough to where if I modify a section such that it adds or removes pages in that section, the entire book file will restructure to accommodate?

Both TOC and Index have check boxes to include all files in the current book. You need to update the TOC, and generate the index again with Replace Existing Index checked, after making changes.

Problems with larger documents.

Here's my problem: I am a composer, I need to print my scores (document size is 9x12) but it seems that adobe only supports 8.5x11. What I'm looking to do is to save my 9x12 document as a pdf, and have it actually show up in adobe reader as a 9x12 document so that it can be accurately printed at its intended size. Every time I try to do just that, the document either rescales to accomodate to adobe, or parts of the document get cut off. That's not what I want, I want a 9x12 document. If in the unfortunate case that what I'm trying to do is impossible, please notify me of an alternate universal document reader that will do what I want.

I set up the score for my music in my notation software (finale 2011.) I must then convert the score from finale into a PDF, as there are additional items that I need to add to the score that can't be added from finale. So I export the document from finale as a 9x12 file. I use one of those PDF creators that acts as a printer since Finale 2011 for windows doesn't have direct pdf conversion capabilities. Once the PDF is created, I open it only to see that my large document has been subject to the 8.5x11 parameters of Adobe Acrobat, and much of it has been cropped out. I don't want to rescale, because again, it is a 9x12 document and that is all it will ever be. Is there a better alternative to this process that might yeild the desired outcome?

Open multiple occurances of the same document

We are running reader 9.1.1 and need to be able to open multipe occurances of the same document. Yes, I know how to open the same document multiple time with <window><new window> the problem with this is editing a form in one window changes it in all windows. I need to ope independant occurances or the same form. Can this be done? The /n switch will not work for this either! Hope somebody has an idea.

Simple solution, yes. Unfortunatly its not that simple... Having multiple copies of the same document posses issues when updating the document. This doucument is updated almost daily and is distibuted to many users across a network... Having to have users open multiple copies of the document creates many logistical and use issues.

Authentication prompt issue when opening an office file in a document library with read permission for domain users

An user as part of the domain users tries to open an office file from a document library but he got an authentication prompt asking him to authenticate. Domain users has only access to this library and not to the whole site. This uses to work in SharePoint
2007 without any problem but not in SharePoint 2013, we didn't have a workflow on SP2007.
Domain users has read access to only this document library in the site, but he shouldn't get an authentication prompt since he is part of the domain users and he is not trying to modify the document, he can open the document but gets two prompts, he can't
also see the list using explorer view since nothings appears using the explorer view.
Now, when opening the file, we can see..Updating Workflow Status, but we don't have any workflow working on this site or library, event any feature related to workflow.
If we go to the event viewer in the server, we find this information,
I also checked this thread but I couldn't find this scenario.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/91bc770b-bb70-4885-a4ad-a243edb88753/event-id-8026-workflow-soap-getworkflowdataforitem-failed-doc-library-no-workflow?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
I also created another list with the same permissions and using other office files but got the same behavior.
Now, we have migrated this site from SP2007 to SP2013.
Any ideas?

OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
things that go through this evolution.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

No, it isn't. Pages 5 isn't compatible with Pages 4.3 as it is lacking more than 90 features that Pages 4 has. So when you open a Pages 4 document in Pages 5 only the simplest documents will look the same in Pages 5.
Pages 4 can't open Pages 5 documents at all!! You have to export back to Pages 09 as I said above.
You probably will be more happy if you just use Pages 4 (Pages 09). There are many threads in this forum that describes the lack of compatibility between the two versions. Pages 5 is in my view not Pages anymore.
If you don't desperately need Pages 5 for moving documents over iCloud to new iOs devices don't use it.
