Read files with no app suffixes (.pdf, .doc. xls, etc ...)

Hi,
On a Macintosh, files do not have suffixes (.pdf, .xls or .doc, etc ...) to identify the application that created the file. How can I open a file on my iPhone if there is no suffixes ?
Thanks in advance.

You're welcome.
The files on your Mac include the file extension, which you can choose to show or not show with the files on your Mac.
Since I don't email files to Mac users only, I'm in the habit of including the file extension with all email attachments.
I'm not aware of a way to force open a file with the iPhone.

  • Dan from iCloud Tech Support says that documents such as .pdf, .doc, .xls, etc. will NOT be stored on iCloud!  Huh???

    Called Tech Support because of 2 problems:
         1. Several of my documents have disappeared.  This includes some .pdf, .doc, and .xls files.
         2. Others are old copies of files that were updated, but all my changes were lost.
    Was informed by Dan in Tech Support that "documents will not be stored on iCloud."  He explained further that Word, Excel, PDF, etc. will not be stored on the Cloud--only music files, Pages, iPhoto, etc. will be.
    Is this true?  If so, this is stunningly bad.  And if it is true that iCloud isn't going to store documents, then why did it touch (i.e. lose, revert) them in the first place??  So all document storage will be on local or external drives now? 

    Dan is not entirely correct.
    If you install Goodreader this app WILL allow those documents to be stored on your icloud account within a specially created Goodreader container.
    Apple do allow third parties to use the conduit between desktop and iOS apps,however only a few third parties have implemented this todate..
    What icloud is NOT is unlimited remote storage,its more rather a syncing conduit.
    If you are looking at an idisk replacement do try Dropbox for that.
    Personally I employ BOTH methods in parallel at the moment as icloud remains very much a work in progress .
    I will probably transfer more to using the icloud route when the next desktop version of Pages is released and hopefully incorporates built in icloud sync functionality.The current requirement to utilize a web browser on your desktop to upload/download is a clutch !
    What does icloud do
    1 Sync photo images across iOS devices and with iPhoto or Aperture 3 on your Mac or with your Pictures folder in Win7
    2 Combines calendars between iOS and Mac Osx or  Outlook on Win7
    3 Combines Address book between ios and Mac OSx or Outlook on Win7
    4. Sync iWork- Documents in the cloud (Pages Numbers and Keynote) across iOS devices and upload/download to Mac or PC via icloud.com in web browser.
    5.Use find my iPhone/iPad/mac security functionality
    6.Remote backup of iOS devices.
    7. ITunes in the cloud (Stores all your music in icloud) plus subject to subscription iTunes match.
    8.ios app sync across devices.
    Plus new in 2012
    Invite friends to view photos and or movies via email link.
    What it do not do
    Allow you to drag and drop any file type from Finder/Explorer to remote storage (a la idisk or Drop box)- This may change as the service develops.

  • Asha 302 - PDF/Doc/Xls reader issue

    I have downloaded ezreader from store for reading pdf/doc/xls files. After installation of the application i cannot open the file tree. As i select open from the ezreader window it shows c: and e: drives, but selecting any of the drives will return the screen to ezreader home window. Can somebody help on this. Without a file opening option the the mail functionality of Asha302 is of no use.

    I also have this problem, & its a pain. Im pretty well computer illiterate & have used nokia for online use due to their ease in the past but they've really dropped the ball with the Asha 302. I had an E63 last, & had no problem with it. I had a lot of downloaded files saved to the memory card, & when the E63 recently stopped working I got the asha as I was told it was an upgrade (yeah right). I transfered the sim & memory to the asha, & now, not only cant I open pdf files etc online, but I cant access the saved files, including files I recieved attached to emails that are saved to the memory card. I have downloaded the ezereader with the same results others have describe,,, it dont work. Thinking I may have been doing something wrong due to lack of knowledge, I went to the Optus shop where I bought the POS asha302 & asked for them to assist. Well after wasting over an hour & a half while they unsuccessfully tried I was told the best thing to do would be to buy a card reader so I could at least access the files that are on the memory card via computer. Still means I've been ripped off on the phone, doesnt it

    How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder

    Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
    For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

  • How to read files with codepage UTF16LE with "Sender File Adapter"

    Hi everybody,
    I am using a XI-Filesender-Adapter to get a (UTF-16LE encoded) file und process it in XI-Mapping.
    This is my File-Content:
    Cost Centre,Cost Code,Page Count (B&W),Page Count (Colour),Job Count
    Unknown,Lexmark,"37,480",334,"11,968"
    Unknown,Unknown,312,0,177
    110000,Lexmark,128,228,43
    The HEX-representation of this content is:
    FF FE 43 00 6F 00 73 00 74 00 20 00 43 00 65 00
    (The starting 2 Bytes FF FE represent UTF16-LE )
    And this is the payload I get for mapping:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <ns:MT_POM_KOSTEN xmlns:ns="http://aua.com/pom">
    <POM_REC>
      <COSTCENTER>uFEFFCost Centre</COSTCENTER>
      <COSTCODE>Cost Code</COSTCODE>
      <PAGECOUNT_BW>Page Count (B&W)</PAGECOUNT_BW>
      <PAGECOUNT_COL>Page Count (Colour)</PAGECOUNT_COL>
      <JOBCOUNT>Job Count</JOBCOUNT>
      </POM_REC>
    <POM_REC>
      <COSTCENTER>Unknown</COSTCENTER>
      <COSTCODE>Lexmark</COSTCODE>
      <PAGECOUNT_BW>37,480</PAGECOUNT_BW>

      <JOBCOUNT>43</JOBCOUNT>
      <POM_REC>
    I can see the correct strings (for example Cost Centre) in  payload, but the string-comparison in the user defines function cannot recognize the equality of the strings:
    for (int i =0; i < a.length; i++) {
    if (
       (a<i>.equals("Cost Centre"))  )
      result.addSuppress();
    else
      result.addValue("");
    Actually I am using UTF-8 as codepage in Fileadapter (and Text as type)
    When I try to use UTF16 (or UTF-16LE) as Codepage, I am getting unreadable characters.
    I also tried binary, UTF16-BE,...
    The only way is to covert the file to ANSI before  I use it with XI. Then my function does work correctly.
    Does anybody have an idea, how I can read a UTF16-LE File and process it correctly in XI?
    I am using XI 7.00 0023  and JSDK 1.4.2-34
    Thanks a lot

    Hello Armin,
                        I have gone through some SAP notes and blogs  to find solution to your problem, here is what I found
    1. SAP NOTE 821267
    q) How do I correctly configure the File Encoding used by the File
    Adapter?
    Flat Files with File Content Conversion
    For a File Sender channel, configure the encoding of the source
    file. The file will be interpreted according to the configured
    encoding and converted to XML with an UTF-8 encoding.
    For a File Receiver channel, configure the encoding to match
    the encoding you would like to be written to the target flat
    file.
    - Flat Files without File Content Conversion
    Whether to configure an encoding in this case depends on if you
    want to pass through the file "as is", e.g. within a File
    Sender to File Receiver scenario, or if you want to convert the
    file's encoding on its way through the Integration Server. For
    "as is" processing, configure both the sender and the receiver
    using the File Type setting "Binary".
    To apply an encoding conversion, configure the respective
    source and target encoding in both the sender and receiver
    channel.
    Important: Configuring an encoding in the receiver channel
    will only lead to the expected results if the payload sent to
    the receiver channel is in UTF-8 format (e.g., by having
    specified an encoding conversion in the Sender channel).
    So as per this note if you configure the encoding scheme of sender communication channel to UTF-16LE, adapter should be able to convert it to UTF-8 by default. But you have posted that this encoding scheme is leading to unreadable charcters
    2) SAP note 880173
    This speaks of use of module XMLAnonymizerBean which can be applied to XML payload to change its encoding.
    3) How to guide on encoding : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    4) SAP note:960663
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/da2deb47812e98e10000000a155369/content.htm
    TextCodePageConversion Bean details which might solve your problem.
    5) Finally if nothing above works you need  a java mapping code to convert to target XML structure without any File content conversion. The mapping will convert the received file to proper target XML in "UTF-8" encoding. Please let us know if you need help on the code with this final option.

  • Converting xml file with arabic content to pdf using FOP

    Hello all
    I am trying to convert a dynamically generated xml file in which most of the data comes from the oracle database with arabic content, to pdf using FOP. I have used "Windows-1256" encoding for the xml. If i open the xml generated with the internet explorer the arabic content displays properly but the pdf is not generated and the acrobat reader shows the file as corrupted or not supported. Please help me. Its very urgent.
    Thanks & Regards

    There is no direct support for importing RTF from an XML extract. Perhaps feature 1514 "Mapping formatted XML data into multiline field" will be of some use. This was released in 11.0, I believe.
    Essentially you can establish paragraph and certain text formatting like bold and underline when you include the proper token information in the data. I believe this is similar to simple HTML tokens.
    Example: &lt;FIELD>&lt;P>First paragraph of data.&lt;/P>&lt;P>New paragraph with &lt;B>&lt;U>bold and underline text&lt;/U>&lt;/B>. Rest of paragraph normal.&lt;/P>&lt;/FIELD>
    The result is something like this:
    <P>First paragraph of data.</P><P>New paragraph with <B><U>bold and underline text</U></B>. Rest of paragraph normal.</P>

  • Trouble converting powerpoint files with png images to pdf-Can someone help?

    Hello all,
    In my line of work, I create and modify large sized posters that are created in powerpoint. I would have the files print ready by converting them to pdf. I usually have little to no issues executing this. However, I have been dealing with an issue of converting ppt files with png images. The size of the ppt is typically a 42x56 file. The several ways to convert to pdf produces an error each time. Png images are very useful as they provide much clarity vs jpegs or tiffs. The 3 ways I have tried below are:
    A) File>Print>Adobe PDF>High Quality print settings/300dpi results to an error message that says:
         "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current print setup. Try one of the following:
         *Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows.
         *Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
         *Reinstall the printer driver"
         A blank pdf opens up (Selected to open file after publishing)
    B) File>Save as> Change file type as a pdf results in nothing happening. No pdf is produced.
    C) Acrobat>Create PDF results to an error message that says: "An unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
    Again, this all happens with ppt files with png images. I took out the png images and attempted to convert to pdf, and the pdf is produced! 
    Can anyone provide any assistance in creating pdfs with png images or what settings I need to adjust? I am able to covert every other image type (jpeg, tiff, bmp), except for png images.
    I am using Microsoft Office 2010 with Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 (This happened on Windows XP as well).

    >I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide
    >master" so it will show up on every page.
    PowerPoint only has to store one instance of the image even thought it is
    displayed on multiple slides. But Acrobat can't do the same, the image has
    to be stored for every page that it appears on, so that would explain the
    larger file size.
    Acrobat is supposed to be able to optimize the storage of common background
    images (at least that's the message I see when I do a "Save as..."), but I
    have yet to see it to work. Maybe it depends on the application the orginal
    file is created in and the PDF conversion method used.
    Adding the image into a PDF file later as a watermark instead may be a way
    to keep the size down (then it really only does store the object once),
    though I believe that watermark images will appear in front of everything
    else on the page (not sure if that's a problem for you, it depends on
    whether any text or objects in the presentation ever appear in front of the
    image).
    What are the dimensions and resolution of the image in PowerPoint? You may
    be able to go as low as 75 dpi and not notice a difference, it depends on
    whether the image contains any areas of high contrast or text.

  • Photoshop touch can I edit the text from a psd file with that app ....

    Can photoshop touch edit the text from a psd file from my iMac on my ipad with that app ....

    I don't think you can because a Photoshop file (PSD) with layers will be flattened when you open up in Photoshop Touch.
    I prepared a Photoshop file with one layer of image, one layer of text over a background using Photoshop CS6 on my Mac Pro and upload the PSD file onto Creative Cloud. I then open this file in Photoshop Touch (on iPad) but it comes out as a single flat layer merging all three layers. Hope this helps.

  • Specifying byte stream type for Read File with Type Descriptor

    Hi.
    I'm trying to write a VI that reads an image file format that can have
    different datatypes. What I have so far is that I open the file, read
    the header, and get the width, height, number of frames, and datatype.
    I calculate number of pixels by nrows*ncols*nframes with no problem,
    but I'm not sure how to tell Read File the correct datatype to read
    the data into.
    I tried using a Case structure where I have a Read File in each case
    with the correct type constant as input for that case. The problem is
    that the tunnel graduates the datatype to the highest representation.
    I found in Application Note 154 the discussion about Type Descriptors.
    Is there a way to generate a Type Descriptor and output it from a C
    ase
    structure? I tried just returning the value (e.g. 0x0402 for a Word),
    but Read File will just see that the byte stream type is a uint32.
    Is there any other way to do this?
    Thanks for any help.

    I converted the code to LabVIEW 6.1 for you and attached it below.
    Don't worry about being a newbie. We all start there. Keep asking this type of question and you won't stay there long.
    As you are discovering, being strictly typed means that you must rewrite code even for a simple data type change, or convert everything to the same data type first. For image data, conversion can result in a lot of extra space being wasted. Use a modified version of the GLV_WaveformBuffer.vi to hold your data. Use the array functions, which operate inline, to add to and delete the data wires in the buffer. This allows you to save several different data types. You will need several different inputs and outputs to handle these data types. I ha
    ve also attached a similar file created for exactly the problem you have - storing arrays of different data types (data from NI-SCOPE devices, in this case - can be float, I8, I16, or I32).
    Routines that take any type work in one of two ways. LabVIEW primitives, such as plus and minus operators, work by figuring out the type and doing the right thing in the C code layer of the LabVIEW environment. Users of LabVIEW can't do this. Users can make polymorphic VIs. Polymorphic VIs are actually a single VI for every data type that are referenced by a "wrapper", the polymorphic VI. Users still need to write a different VI for every data type they need.
    Take home message - if you need to work with different data types, you will need to rewrite your code for every data type or convert your data to a common data type. Polymorphic VIs and case statements are your friend.
    Let me know if you need more help.
