Saving to various file formats

I am having trouble sending a cover letter and resume, both in Appleworks. The recipient of these files is unable to open them, and requests that I send them in PDF format, yet I cannot find any PDF option in the save as tab. I saved them as "word" document but that didn't work either. H

You don't say which OS version is running on your iMac. If it's not a recent OS X version, you may not be able to print to PDF without some additional third-party software.

Conversion of various file formats to PDF

I need to convert files of different file formats like .doc, .pst, .xlx, .txt, gif, jpegs etc. to PDF.
There are open source JAVA API available to do this eg. iText, and Faceless API. But they do not convert the file more accurately. How is it possible to do this using Java? Is there any other API available to do the same? How is it possible through Adobe Distiller APIs ?
Some solution which I have found are converting those files first to PostScript and then using PDFWriter converting it to PDF. How good it is?? Can anybody give some idea on it??
Any Suggestion / solutions will be welcome.

Hi ,
I am trying to Print RTF to PDF file and maybe there is a way by first converting RTF to PS and then printing PS using acrobat distiller ... but how do I specify the destination for the PDF file .
I am trying to set the destination by this code -
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset =
               new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
                    aset.add(new Copies(1));
          try{
               aset.add(new Destination(new URI("file:///foo/bar")));
          } catch (java.net.URISyntaxException uri) {
               System.out.println( " URI exception "+ uri ) ;
Is this how output is sent to PDF file ???
Flavor is - DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT;
/* locate a print service that can handle it */
          PrintService[] pservices =
               //PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset);
                    PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset);
          System.out.println( "what is the service found " +pservices.length );
and I get the printer - Acrobat distiller and I print using this code -
if (pservices.length > 0) {
               System.out.println("selected printer " + pservices[0].getName());
               /* create a print job for the chosen service */
               System.out.println(" services found ");
               DocPrintJob pj = pservices[0].createPrintJob();
               try {
                    * Create a Doc object to hold the print data.
                    * Since the data is postscript located in a disk file,
                    * an input stream needs to be obtained
                    * BasicDoc is a useful implementation that will if requested
                    * close the stream when printing is completed.
                    System.out.println(" file found") ;
                    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("NavneetTest.ps");
                    System.out.println(" Trying to print doc ") ;
                    Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, null);
                    /* print the doc as specified */
                    pj.print(doc, aset);
               } catch (IOException ie) {
                    System.err.println( " Exception is " + ie);
               } catch (Exception e) {
                    System.err.println(" Exception is " + e);
and I get error in a windows dialog described below -
error writing to C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Desktop\*.pdf for Document My Document :-The filename, directory, or volume label syntax is incorrect ..
Do u wish to retry or cancel the job?
Retry/Cancel
.. don't know how to set the uri value in the destination object to point to local hard disk folder if that is the way to print PDF . Can you please share the solution u have found ? I am really stuck !!!

Conversion of various files formats to 3gp

Hi,
I am working on acode whic has a requirement to convert files from various formats (mov,mp4,avi,rm,flv) to 3gp and wma, wav, ra to mp3.
1)Will JMF support all these conversion basically want to know about the 3gp support by the JMF framework.
2)The code is supposed to be on the server side.Which would be a better in performance 1)insatlling native convertors like FFMPEG and calling command line calls from Java cod or 2)Using JMF
Thank in Advance

Psd files are being saved as .14 file format and I cannot open them

I have been creating a few large (100MB+) files in Adobe Photoshop CS4. I saved the files both as .psd and .jpg. When I restarted my computer the next day, I went to open the file and instead of seeing the normal Photoshop icon on the file it was just a blank page icon. After attempting to open it in CS4 it flashes an alert saying, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. Then when I hover my cursor over the icon the File Type says "14 File"
I then clicked the help button in CS4 to solve the problem only to be greeted with another error message of, "There was an error loading the Adobe Help Application, you may need to re-install the application and the help component" which would be all well and good if I were at home and had the original handy. Unfortunately I am out of town and unable to do so. I do not wish to buy another version of Photoshop but I need to work on these files. Please Help

I'm not sure what happened. I would suspect something with your system, hopefully not malware.
Run a Anti virus scan. Also do some disk maintenance, check disk, cleanup, and defrag.
You can rename the files with the correct extensions and see if they open.
Let's see. You don't have access to your discs, but you can download the installer:
Download CS4 products
Have your serial number ready and if CS4 was an upgrade, the qualifying serial number.
You can these under the account you registered them under with Adobe.
Usually here: https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html
If you uninstall the old CS4, use the Cleaner tool to remove any remnants.
Also checkmark "Remove Preferences" when uninstalling.
Do this all using your admin account.

File Format Issues

Frequently asked questions about saving and converting file formats.

GIF vs. GIF vs. GIF (etc.)
Q: I see several different ways to save a GIF file from Photoshop. What's the difference between them?
A: You can select "CompuServe GIF" format when you choose Save, Save As or Save a Copy (asuming you have a flattened, RGB image) from Photoshop's File menu. That's the traditional way of saving GIFs, and has been available in Photoshop going back several versions. It has limited options and saves a file in GIG87 format.
B. You can choose "Export > GIF89a Export" from the file menu. This presents you with a few more options and (as the name suggests) saves out a GIF89a format file.
C. You can choose "Save For Web" from Photoshop 5.5's File menu, and choose GIF from the Optimized File Format menu in the Settings group. You will have many different options to minimize your file size while viewing the resulting image to alow you to maintain image quality. This is usually the best way to save a GIF from within Photoshop. This will generate a file in GIF89a format.
D. If you want to take advantage of even more advanced web features (rollovers, slicing, animation, etc.) for your GIF, switch over to ImageReady 2.0 and save your optimized image there. You will find similar options as in Photoshop's Save For Web dialog, but ImageReady adds additional features that allow you to slice or animate an image, or create rollovers.

Two HP Pavilion laptops, a dv4 and a dv5, Windows 7 Professional, no changes or upgrades other than the normal Windows updates. On both HP laptops, the CD-ROM does not recognize various file formats such as JPEG, JPG, WAV, etc. The dv5 did recognize a CD-ROM with JPEG files yesterday, but it does not read the CD today. It does read new music CDs, but not previously recorded CD with MP3 or JPG formats.

Its iPod. Not iPot.

Nikon D5200 264 Codec in MOV file format

I have upgraded to the Nikon D5200. This camera is brand new but I am unable to view the videos in premiere. Only the audio shows up.The videos are saved in MOV file format. After updating the Quicktime on my computer I can see the videos but they are very choppy and pixelated. Once I put them into a premiere project, they have to immediately be rendered. Am I missing something here?
I was using a Sony NEX 5R and never had this problem. Please help me figure out the best way to fix this problem as I can not do any video editing under these circumstances. Thanks for your help.

Lots more information is needed for us to help you as John T. Smith has said.
1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. From what I have read of your camera, you are shooting AVCHD, if you say .mov, the with a .mov file extension. I believe the audio is Linear PCM Stereo. But, what is your camera setting? I see several choices
1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second (aka 60i)
1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second
1280 x 720 @ 50 or 60 progressive frames per second
and even
640 x 424 @ 30 or 25 progressive frames per second.
Which one?
3. What are you or the project setting as the project preset based on the properties of your source media.
4. Besides now having the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer, are you running Premiere Elements as Run As Administrator or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
5. If you do not have the correct project preset, that would be the top choice for the colored line over that Timeline content and the need for rendering of that Timeline to get the best possible preview in the Edit Mode monitor. The latter occurs when you did not set it correctly or the program had problems putting the video properties into one of its categories. Then you set the project preset yourself manually before you import the source media. Once we have more details from you, we can help you select the correct project preset and sort through other possible factors contributing to your issues.
The answers are in the details.
We look forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Bank File and File Formats

When sending ach file to bank after it gets placed on application server (what is application server transaction code) a direct interface or not? If not what is a direct interface?
What is flat file and xml file. Please tell the difference with example??
What are various file formats sap supports for importing ebs in sap? What information should be requested from bank?

Hi Sheena,
1. Outbound files - You can create a ACH file in any format you want. SAP support text file, IDOC.
After you run your payment program - F110 - the last step is to create the payment medium. When you run this payment medium program it creates the file in a specific format as per your configuration. This file can be stored in your hard drive (C:) or in the SAP server based on the path given by you in the variant.
You can use T-code FDTA to view the file.
If it gets stored in C: you can just go to the directory and double click the file.
If it is stored in SAP server you can use transaction AL11 to view the file.
2. Inbound file - The electronic bank statements come in various formats. The most common formats are BAI in US, Multicash in Germany, MT940 in Europe. Each format has been defined separately, you can go to Googe and search for details about these format.
SAP has standard program which read these formats and post them to your General Ledger.
If you have more questions, please post them and I would try to answer.

Tried to "Open As" in PS a NEF file I modified in LR. Got the following error message: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file." I can "Open" the file in PS, but then the changes I made in LR (and saved in the associated meta data file with the "Control S" command) are not applied to the opened PS file. HELP!

If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Unable to save xls file from website in the "Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet" format. The browser is saving in unrecognized "File" Type

The version I am using is 3.6.11
The file is stored in the server in the format "Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet"
But when I download it, it gets saved in the unrecognized format type "File"
The servlet code written to download the file sets the content type to "application/vnd.ms-excel"
I am able to save the file in Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet format using Internet Explorer Browser without any issues.
But it does not work with the Mozilla Firefox. Any plug-in needed to make it work?

Did you try to add the .xls file extension yourself to those files?

What is the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?

As I have read, MS Office 2013 is able to read and write the ISO/IEC 29500 strict (standardized Office Open XML) file format. MS Office 2010 was only able to read the strict format and MS Office 2007 could neither read nor write the strict format. The
.docx, .xlsx and .pptx saved by Office 2007 and 2010 were only complying to the OOXML transitional, as far as I understood.
My main question is what the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013 actually is? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?
In case, MS Office still saves in the transitional standard by default, is it possible to set the strict standard in the settings? Is this recommended (I assume that OOXML strict is the future) to do this?
Thanks.

Yes, the Transitional is still the default file format for saving in Office 2013, and we can modify this setting in Word Options, Save:
As Alex Brown covers in his
blog post, "Transitional is intended to preserve the fidelity of existing binary documents being migrated to ISO/IEC 29500, and includes many legacy features for compatibility with existing documents. Strict is a subset of Transitional that does not
include legacy features – this makes it theoretically easier for a new implementer to support (since it has a smaller technical footprint, so to speak), but also makes it less able to preserve the fidelity of existing documents."
