Scanning names into Appleworks

My father has some sixty names & addresses of members of a retirement group which he would like to edit etc. The names exist on a printout. Is there a way the items can be scanned into an Intel Mac via a Epson Stylus CX 4200 printer & then be able to edit same?
Thank you, Lisa

Hello
I don't know this printer but if you ask for that, it seems that I may assume that it is a multifunctions one with a scanner inside.
To do what you want requires a text recognition application. One of them is often delivered with scanners.
Assuming that you have such a tool, use it. It will give you a text file.
You will have a bit of editing to do to get a clean text.
During the process put a tab character between "fields" and a return character between "records" .
After that you will be able to insert the datas in a spreadsheet or in a database.

Scan images into Forms app / Twain scanner

Can you provide your thoughts on how to have a Form ***QUICKLY*** scan and crop passport photo size images from a scanner
Speed of data entry is essential so I would like to minimize the total time and keep the mouse and key click count down.
I would like to do as much as possible within the form window. Scanning directly into an image on the form would be nice as the current app does this via a Twain scan
The scanned image will be stored in a file (either on the Forms application server or in the client MS-Windows file system ). The file name will be stored in the database and displayed in the form. Im not sure if the image needs to be displayed in the form window or not.
The scanned images are passport sized photos of face.
The user needs to make minimum changes to the photo - usually only cropping.
Are there any Java beans that will help do this ? Should I use OLE via WEB_UTIL ? Any other ideas ?
Thanks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Environment : Forms 10g (9.0.4.0.19), Database 10gr2, Window client, Linux / Unix application server, scanners are Twain compatible or can scan to file.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks - that is the info I was hoping for.
There are Forms java bean solutions from two different people on that page. Ill try and get in touch with them and see if I can sponge the code off them.
In the meantime, please post more suggestions if you have them

Convert scanned signature into line drawing

I have a need to convert scanned signatures into line-drawings. I could buy MIcrosoft Illustrator (or something) to do it, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a free-ware Java tool that could do this.
It would work somehting like the following:
1. Sign your name on a white piece of paper.
2. Scan the image and store it as an jpeg file.
3. A program (hopefully free in Java) would read in the image and output one of the following:
a) output to another jpeg file where the signature had been converted to line-drawings (so the lines are thiner and more crisp than the scanned image)
b) output the vector coordinates that could be read into another custom program that could dynamically create the jpeg (I know how to write this jpeg-creatio program from coordinates...).
thanks,
Jeff

For starters, using JPEGs in this situation is a poor choice because it is a lossy format.
Second, it seems like what you're after is something like OCR. I think I asked a question once about OCR for java... I think I remember someone telling me that it's out there. But anyway search the web for that.
Even if all you're interested in is code that will smartly 'correct' an image I don't think that there is freely available code (might not be any Java code at all) to do this.

I have scanned photos using an Epson V500 scanner set to scan using jpeg format at the highest quality (least compression) setting. When I try to import the scanned jpegs into iPhoto, I get an error message from iPhoto saying "The file is an unrecognized format." But if I reduce the quality setting on the Epson scanner to just slightly below highest quality, the images import into iPhoto just fine. Why won't iPhoto accept jpegs scanned at the highest quality setting? Wondering?

What scanner format settings dis you use? Are these color photos? If they are B/W did you scan as grayscale images? That could be the problem.
Are you able to open them with Preview? If so do a Save As, select full quality and save as a jpeg with a new file name. See if that file will import and work as intended.

Scanning directly into Photoshop Elements 8 from Officejet 5740

I just installed an Officejet 5740 All-In-One. I did the standard install and am able to print fine. I would like to be able to scan directly into Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 running on Mac OSX 10.10. When I go to the File>Import menu, the new device doesn't show up. Is there something else that I need to install or configure for this to work?

Cannot scan photos into catalog

I have an HP printer, 6300 series, that has been able to scan photos into my catalog up until the last time I used it. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it and it worked great. Tonight I went to scan in some photos for a graduation invite and it will not import them. It says they are already in the catalog. They're not. Obviously there is a communication problem. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this or lead me in the right direction as to who can help me with this? Windows updates are current. Thank you, I use pse 7 and it has worked fine in the past. Thank you.

Hi Garry,
Thanks for your response. I did check the steps you sent below and yes,
it's a 32.8BA file. However, when I open up Twain 32 properties under scan
results (from the Import-Export) it comes up with: Trend micro security has
checked this file for computer viruses and other security threats. The
results appear below and it lists File Name: Twain 32.8BA Scan results No
incidents detected. I checked the trend micro and it's currently off so I'm
confused with this. I get nervous when getting into the nitty gritty of the
computer.
I did find the scans I tried to bring into my catalog buried deep in some
files I never knew existed. In further review of forums I found somebody
suggested to bring the photos in under card reader and choose my printer
from the drop down menu. I tried it and it worked bringing them into the
catalog. BUT, why can't I get it to work the proper way? Is the trend
micro blocking it? This is certainly not my expertise, I appreciate your
patience. Thanks.

Recently purchased a scanner which I connect my iPad to. everything scanned goes into iPhoto. I purchased FileApp Pro to place scanned items into files. I still can't move the scanned items to a file. Help!

Scanning items into iPad. Scanned items go directly to iPhoto. Purchased FileApp Pro to create file folders on iPad. Still cannot move items from iPhoto to file folder. Help?

Is this a NAS type of setup (of which I know very little)? Mine is not a response based upon strong technical knowledge but iTunes seems to have problems with those. Just about everybody has issues with iTunes but you say it is not fit for the purpose. What is that? I bet for 99% of people it does. Not everybody has 8TB collections they are trying to use with a RAID structured external server. iTunes is really a mass consumer piece of software. Yes, many people have expanded beyond internal drives, but NAS arrangements seem to add levels of complexity beyond a direct external drive that is Mac formatted and at most served by an Apple brand wireless router which I suspect is probably how everything is tested. Anything more is fortuitous in terms of support. Except that you say the library files are on the external drive too it sounds to me like the server is asleep when you say it cannot find files and then suddenly can when you go to find one.

How can I scan directly into Ps CS4 on a Mac when Rosetta wont work?

I'm using a Mac Pro Quadcore with Snow Leopard version 10.6.8 and want to scan photos straight into Ps CS4 version 11.0.2 using a Canon Canoscan LIDE 100.
BUT when I go to Import there is no TWAIN option, there is only: Variable Data Sets (grayed out), Video Frames to Layers, Anti-Alised PICT, PICT Resources and Notes (grayed out).
I right click on Adobe Photoshop CS4 inside the Ps CS4 folder to bring up "Get Info" and click the check box that states "Open using Rosetta" BUT when I click open the Ps icon to open it Ps crashes straight away. I click "Reopen" and it crashes straight away. Un tick the Rosetta check box and Ps opens fine.
I assumed this was Apples problem because Rosettas is their program but after walking it through the Apple care operator and following his instructions to download a PowerPC version of VLC (which started up fine without doing a thing)to see if Rosetta was automatically installed, it worked fine, I was told that it's an Adobe problem. Urrrggghhh
Then I downloaded the TWAIN plugin and dropped it into the import-export folder and NOTHING!
The scanner works with Snow Leopards native Image Capture so it's not the scanner. Except that the scanner buttons dont seem to work when they used to on a MacBook. But here on the Mac Pro I cant find anything within the Ps menus that resembles "permission" to scan.
I need to do a lot of photo correction/remove blurred/restoration and read that it's better to scan the old photos straight into Ps to ensure no quality is lost during the scan. Regardless if this 100% true I still should be able to scan straight into Ps. I mean the CS4 package + Mac cost enough.
What is it that I'm doing wrong or missing here? Any help would be sooo appreciated!

Hi Mate - I'm using CS4 Extended Ps v11.0.2, according to the Adobe site photoshop instals a 32 bit version only. How can I find out exactly by checking out preferences etc? I'll have to go hunt out the box.
Thanks for the reply.

WPC: unable to add different resources with the same name into a WPC page

Hi,
I got a WPC problem when adding different KM resources with the same name into a WPC page. Only one KM resource is able to be added in WPC.
For example:
There two "article.html" with different content and RID:
1. /company_a/article.html
2. /company_b/article.html
when adding these two html pages into a WPC page, only one page will be shown.
This means that a WPC page is not able to contain resources with same file names. I think the problem might lie on the resource-linking mechanism of WPC. WPC will add a resource link in the page folder, when a new resource is drag&dropped into WPC.
Anyone has some good ideas to solve my problem? Thanks a lot.
Regards

As this is not possible and double entries cause this problem, why not just pu both napes in the contact details on the same number. IE John Smith & Peter Jones all in the first name, by doing this if you search your contacts either by searching for john, peter, smith or jones the number will show up and if either calls the number will show John Smith & Peter Jones, it may not be perfect but will work. As the phone only recognises a number if two seperate entries of the number exist with different names it cannot possibly know who is calling ?

How do i upload an image to a server and put the name into a database table

Ok, i found a php image upload script that im using for a cms
image gallery on my site. But for it to work the way i need to i
have to have certain information submited into a mysql table at the
same time. I could just make it so the user types the name of the
image in a second form, but i would rather not have to as it seems
a clumsy way to do things and opens things up to typos etc.
So, i can upload the image ok, and i can upload data to the
table, but i dont know what I have to do so that the name of the
uploaded file is automaticly inserted into the mysql table.
The first bit of code below is the form I am using to upload
the file to the server. The second bit of code is what I am using
to tell the server what the file name is.
How do I combine the 2 form into one? Please help. It is
driving me to dispair.

Hi Jeff:
Though this does not show you how to solve this issue via a
code
snippett, there are a couple of extensions at WebAssist.com
that enable
you to do this, they are Data Assist and Digital File Pro.
When you have
time, take a look at these Solution Recipes (tutorials) that
show how
DataAssist is used and then now Digital File Pro is used in
conjunction
with DataAssist:
http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/solutionrecipe/Media_139.asp
http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/solutionrecipe/Media_112.asp
DataAssist can be used to save time when you need to build
database
search and management applications quickly, and Digital File
Pro can be
used to include file upload functionality to your form fields
while
enabling you to insert your server file name into the
database, all on
the same page.
enthusiastically,

Get the file name into a Odi variable

Hi,
I need to get the file name into odi variable like ..A/ETC/file.txt
For eg.the filename file.txt should get store in a variable.
Then i want to compare the file name stored in the variable with some other value.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

in package,
declare the variable, then evaluate it with another variable, generally using # syntax
if the variable is date type, suggest to use : syntax, because # will treat the variable value as text value
in loadplan
use case when syntax,

Sharepoint Workflow : how to get document full path + file name into variable?

Hi,
Anybody knows how to get document full path + file name into a variable in Sharepoint 2010 workflow?
Example http://sp1:80/InvoiceQueue/Shared Documents/123.pdf
I am using List Workflow which links to a document library.

Hi SAMSUNG,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the full path of a document in a list workflow.
You can set the variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the document. The screenshot is my testing. In my testing (in the red area), when the title of a document was equal to the tile of the current item, set a variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the
document. I used ‘Log to history list’ to check the value of the variable in Workflow History .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Any camcorder that can connect via USB or that can save to an SD card can interface with an iPad if you have the iPad Camera Connection Kit so that you can watch your videos on the new iPad's beautiful retina display. You can find this on the Apple website or in most big box retail stores.

Script to insert file name into keywords field of same file

Hello,
search a solution, a Script or another, which writes the file name into keywords field of same file (Metadata: Description/Keywords) in "photoshop", "bridge" or better in "Lightroom" .
I found this topic from Mike Hale http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1330
It's possible this script to change this in such a way that it does this:
"script to insert file name into keywords field of same file"
Thanks and best greetings
