Script for emailing multiple file types?

Is there a script that will allow me to place a button on a form, that when clicked, will email the completed form in PDF format as well as in csv, or xml format?
Thanks!

Wow, thanks. That was extremely helpful, but I have a couple questions.
First, is there a way to make it print to CUPS without opening the default application for the particular file first? For example, I used a .docx file, and it had to open microsoft word to send the job the print. This makers it very unpredictable to decide how much time the automator application will need to pause. If that file were for example, and adobe illustrator file, it would take an incredible amount of time just for illustrator to open. I don't really anticipate needing to do this a whole lot with anything other than text files and standard image types, but is that the only way for those other files to print? I figured that since OS 10.6 can do a quick look preview on just about any file type I use, that the OS would be able to do this without the application actually opening, but it seems not to be the case. Just wondering.
The other issue is the only real problem, and it's one that I have had whenever I use automator to make PDFs. It always duplicates the job. So, I am getting a combined pdf, but it has the same file in there 2 or even 3 times.
In automator, I used:
get selected finder items
then
print finder items
I have verified that it is printing everything multiple times because I see them going into the CUPS folder twice. Then, the final PDF sometimes even has the same doc or image in it 3 times. I have always had this problem with automator and PDFs, any idea how to solve that?
Other than that duplication issue, this seems like it will work perfectly! Thanks for the reply here!

Ipad 4: how do I attach multiple file types to an email?

Hello,
I have seen multiple threads on this topic saying you can only do attachments in an email (other than photos or videos) by going to the app that holds the file and emailing it from there (ex: go to adobe reader or ibooks to email a PDF). This work around seemed sufficient for some people but I have need to attach a JPG, PDF and .doc to a single email. How do I do this within the ipad's built in email app? Is this impossible and if so are there other free email apps that someone can reccmmend?
I find the ability to only email files from within its parent app to be cumbersome and not in keeping with Apple's style of making one's life easier and more efficient. In fact this seems woefully backward and goes back to the early days of computing. I get it that emailing from within a particular app is necessary but so is the ability to attach multiple file types from within the email app. :-(
So frustrated!!

The GoodReader App can manage files and create emails consisting of multiple files types.

Hi Mohamed,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to customize Hover Panel for multiple file type.

BPEL Process with multiple file types using one FTP adapter is not working

i created a bpel process which will fetch the files from remote location using FTP adapter.
Now the process works for only one format or file type like *.xls.
How can i use more than one file format in one FTP adapter.
OR
is there any other way to do it.
file type assignation is 5th step in FTP adapter configuration.
i have tried *.xls,*.csv and *.xls;*.csv and *.xls:*.csv by seperating with comman, colon, space... still not working.
i read the documentation *.* will not work.. for one file format it's working fine.
looking forward for reply as soon as possible.

Are you positive that it is not working? I'm not sure how you can use one FTP adapter for multiple file types unless the underlying data is exactly the same format or you are processing it as opaque data. Sometimes when a FTP adapter chokes on a file with a bad structure it doesn't create a BPEL instance, it simply moves the bad file to a separate folder.
So I assume you are using opaque as the data type instead of using an XSD element?
That said, I don't think you can put two separate file types in the filter. Is it possible for you to do something like: CommonFileName*.* or do you have similar files with other extensions?
I know the above probably isn't of much help, but I had so many problems with the FTP adapter and its lack of features that I am writing my own. Unfortunately that is a large undertaking and there isn't any good documentation of JCA resource adapter / BPEL PM integration.

PHP Upload script for ZIP/SIT files

Hi,
I'm trying to locate a decent script that would allow clients
to upload files to a Web site that I am working on. I found a basic
one that works at www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_file_upload.asp.
However, it lack the capabilities to upload zip and sit files.
Could I modify the existing script that I just mentioned?
Unfortunately, I am not very PHP saavy. I have been Googling for
such a script but have not found one yet. I hope some one could
recommend a decent script. Thanks.

Be careful. These informations can be faked or might not be
available at
all. I can easily upload a PHP script as "image/jpeg". If the
file ends
up in a public directory within the document root, I can
execute it and
then have a look at the entire server ...
Relying on the content type or file extension is a huge
security hole!
I'm quite surprised that W3Schools publishes such an insecure
script.
To make sure that an uploaded file is really of the type you
expect, you
must look at its content! For images you can use
getimagesize(), which
will also return the type if it's a valid image. For other
types you
have to use other libs or external tools. On a *nix machine
you could
execute the shell command 'file' for example, which
recognizes quite a
lot of different file types.

How to add list of multiple file types to file type of file dialog box in LabVIEW

How to add list of multiple file types to file type of file dialog box in LabVIEW?
In file dialog box there is option to add only one file type,in the list,not by seperating commas,
regards,
Naresh.N

Write the file types in pattern Input string, separated by a semicolon ;
For example: *.vi;*.doc;*.jpeg;*.xls
This should return the set of files with matching extensions

File Select Popup not restricing multiple file types

I have a Bitmap picture in which I call GetBitmapFromFile right after this popupfile select. So I want the user to pick one of the folowing filetypes seen below.
I have the following call
FileSelectPopup ("", "*.*", "*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "Select picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 0, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //Extension Not Required
But when this is ran, it prompts the user showing all file types and all file types are allowed.
Doing the following:
FileSelectPopup ("",
"*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf",
"*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "Select
picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 0, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //Extension not required
The prompt shows only those file-types, but the default stays on .emf and the user must select the correct file-type at the bottom they are trying to select.
If I do the following (with commas and restrict file-extension):
FileSelectPopup ("", "*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "*.tif,*.pcx,*.bmp,*.dib,*.rle,*.ico,*.jpg,*.png,*.wmf,*.emf", "Select picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 1, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //using commas
It shows the correct files, but when clicking one, it says the file-type must be .emf
The only workign way I found was to do the last statement, but not restrict the file-extension. (This would give the user the option to change the file-type)
What I want is the file-type allowed list to be one of those file-types, only show files with those extensions and not require/allow the user to select which file-type they will choose.
Can this not be done?

I see no way of customizing FileSelectPopup the way you want: either you restrict extensions, and you are limited to "Default file spec" contents (in case you put a filetype list in this field, the last one is used, as you already noted) or you allow to change extensions, but the user must choose which one to use an "*.*" is always present.
I am afraid you will need to post-process operator's choice and prompt again in case of non-allowed extension.
As an alternative you can use the toolbox path control, which can be tailored the way you want but it isn't as easy for the operator as FileSelectPopup. It iìultimately is a string control with customized features to offer an alternative in selecting files / paths. You can tailor it by doing so:
    SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, "c:\\myDefaultPath");
    errChk (NewPathCtrl (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, 15, 1));
    SetPathCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, ATTR_PATH_CTRL_FILE_FILTER, "*.bmp;*.ico");
This control permits you a limited filetype choice but forces the user to more impactive operability to select the desired file.
There is a sample project that uses this control in <sampledir>\userint\custctrl\pathctrl.
Another alternative is the File Browser toolslib control: a customized tree control which can be restricted to multiple file types; it is relatively slow on large file systems -at least at the first execution.
The control maintains the native context menu of the original tree control: I suppose this can be tailored as in native control but I haven't tested it: if it's possibleit may help the user in finding the correct file to select.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Error when Combining Multiple File Types

I can't combine multiple file types into one pdf, e.g. .docx and .xlsx files. The combine feature only seems to be working to combine .pdf and .jpg file types. An error message stating the below appears. Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you.

no i can't seem to do that either. the only way I have found to get around it. It's long winded... i export the jpgs from Indesign CS4, then take the jpgs into photoshop CS4 and baiscally resave over the top the of the original jpg without changing any settings, this will then let me combine them in Acrobat Pro 9. for now i will be doing it that way but if anyone knows of another way that would be great.

How to define the application to use for opening each file type (pdf, jpg,...)

I installed an external application, and this new application has been configured by defect that it will be used to open all files with extensions like jpg, pdf, etc...
I want to revert this situation and define again the proper application I want to use for opening each file type. How can I do this in Lion?
Thanks,
Azaldier

Pick a representative file.
Get info. (Command-i)
There you will see a place "Open with" where you can select the application for that file.
Hit the "Change all..." button to do this for all files of this type.

How to setup a routing rule for a specific file type for the content organizer?

Hello,
how can I set a routing rule for a specific file type, for example for "pdf" or for "docx", for my content organizer?
As standard I can only choose for the rules the content type, name and title of the file uploaded.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Johny,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to create a routing rule for a specific file type.
I recommend to create rules with the conditions as the image below shows for the Document content type(for example: .docx files):

How do I change which application is the (default) for a given file type?

For .pdf files, I have set the application behaviour to "Always Ask", because sometimes I want to open the pdf, sometimes I want to save it. So far so good.
Now, when I want to open the .pdf, I have added an application to the dropdown list, so now I have "Adobe Reader 9 (default)" and "okular".
The problem is this: I *never* open using Adobe Reader. I always want to use okular, but Adobe Reader always appears first on the list, as it is the 'default'. This means I always have to click on the dropdown and select "okular", i.e. an extra step every time I want to open a pdf.
How do I change which application is the default?

Yes, I know that. That was the first sentence of my question, but it is not the problem I have.
I want to change which application is the (default) for a given file type, and this cannot be done from the settings.

Free script for replacing multiple footage files

Hello!
I made a simple script for easily changing multiple footage paths. I'm a 3D artist and found it a burden to replace all the vray render passes every time I rendered a new version. I'm sure it has other uses as well, like checking and setting which of your footage files are local and which ones are on a fileserver.
You can also copy and move footage from one file to another with this tool.
I'm not a professional scripter and would like some comments and crits. What would be the best place to publish something like this? For 3ds max there's scriptspot.com, is there something similiar for adobe scripts?

A script for copying certain files to a new location

I have a folder with over 50,000 images in it. I need about 15,000 of them copied to another folder.
Is there a script (that I can paste the list of the ones I need copied) to perform this action?
Thanks in advance.

perhof,
After much googling, I was fortunate enough to find your beautiful script!
I added a couple of things like subfolder recusion ( by tweaking scripts I found) .
Would you be kind enough to look this over and see if it's ok or needs fixing?
