Searching both CHM files and PDFs

Is there a tool that I can incorporate into our help system that would enable users to search both the CHM files and the PDFs?
Thanks for your help.

I use ZoomSearch for various things and as well as HTM files, it can search many other file types including PDF. However, it cannot search a CHM for technical reasons and I guess that would apply to other search tools. However, don't let that put you off searching, if you will forgive the pun.

Converting .chm files to pdf files using robohelp

Can we convert .chm files to pdf files using robohelp plz?
any help regarding this would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Wrong workflow. The RH project that created the CHM can
produce other outputs. What you do is create a printed output as
described in the Printed Documentation article on my site. Don't be
put off by the length of the article. Producing the output is
simple but the article explains pretty much everything in detail.
In theory you can output direct to PDF but most people find
there are some tweaks they want to make in Word first, better page
breaks and so on. You can also create the PDF from Word.

Searching a text file and printing the line if found!

Hi, Im fairly new to JAVA and have been googling this for hours and havent found any results that
have helped me...
Im looking to search a text file for a value that is in a that is delimited by colons
eg 45787 : 398948 : 398884 : 398984
IF that value is found I need to print this entire line and move it into a string.
I can work out the delimit part, the problem for me is a)searching the text file
and b) tell java to print that line only??
Any help would be very very much appreciated
Cheers

public void printCourses() throws Exception
            stuinput[] courseObjArray = new stuinput[10]; //Make sure this is the same as the ammount in the text
               Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("testfile.txt"));
               int i=0;
               boolean found = false;
               while(sc.hasNextLine())
               //Delimit this line with scanner
               Scanner sc1 = new Scanner(sc.nextLine());
               sc1.useDelimiter(":");
               courseObjArray[i] = new stuinput(sc1.next(),sc1.next());
               i++;
               }//while
               for(int i1 = 0;i1 < courseObjArray.length;i1++)
               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseCode);
               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
               System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
               System.out.println("-----------------");
               String courseCode2 = "courseObjArray[i1].courseCode";
               if (courseCode2 == "12345")
                    System.out.println("working");
               else{System.out.println("Not Found");}
       }hmmm just wondering why could this method always return a "Not Found"....if the text file had a whole bunch of values like this
12345:Course1
12344:Course2
12343:Course3
isnt it surposed to return 1 "Working"?? because there is a 12345 in on of the line, in the semi colon delimited line with 2 values, one being the course code, one being the course name??
Given that there is 10 lines (from Array Object)

Searching for missing files and damaged photo icon

I am trying to view photos that I have viewed in this program numerous times before but now when I click on the photos, I get a message that says "searching for missing files". Sometimes, the photo appears with a red icon below it that resembles a wripped photo. Does this mean my photo has been damaged by the program?

I too have been told to find them on my hard drive but still nothing comes up, I can find the picture name and then do a search, but nothing. I've tried several times and it just keeps saying seach for missing files not found. I can see my collection of pictures, but there blury and then when I try to click on them, it says searching for missing file and it gives me the file name, and then I've tried to go under my search and put that file name in and nothing comes up, I also got NO help from adobe and they want us to buy more products??? They could have warned us somehow on what happens if you move them or try and put them on disc, and that's what happen, I put some on disk or at least thought I did and then realized I didn't want to do that, so I hit the UNDUE and I guess it was so late or something, cuz I can see the pictues, just can't open them. I'm wandering if I need to have a expert see if he can get them off of Adobe, I really want the pictues I have graduation pictures on there and need them very much. Would love to have help from anybody. Please.
Thank you

ASAP Is any Java libraries exist to modify Excel file and PDF file

Is any Java libraries exist to modify Excel file and PDF file. I know about the third party libraries like Apache poi and many more. But I want to know about java libraries not the third party tools.

But, the answer to the question in your original post is: "no, there are no classes in the core Java API that do what you want". Simple.

Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears. Any way to fix this?

Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears. Any way to fix this?

Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

"Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Files" (and "Locate Referenced Files")

I am trying to follow the Help Documentation item "Using the Filter HUD to Search for Referenced Master" (not sure if there is a way to post a URL to this) and I am not seeing what it is telling me to do.
I am going to Edit > Find and it is telling me to "Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser". Is this referring to a browser in the Aperture UI or is this in the Filter HUD display? I am not finding this.
Also, it saying that in the Filter HUD I should "choose File Status from the Add Filter pop-up menu, and select the 'File Status' checkbox." and I am not seeing this either. Does anyone know where this is at?
Lastly, I see that there is a command called File > Locate Referenced Files and when I run this I get a "No Referenced Files in the /current/ selection. I have realized that I don't quite understand whether I am running this search for a specific Project and/or whether I have to make a specific selection in the left hand pane when I run a FILTER HUD or whether this automatically defaults to search the whole database. Does it matter what I have selected in the current Browser View when I run either of these commands?
Thanks for any help in my getting this working better for me.

1. Just copy and paste the URL from the on-line User Manual. Very helpful. Are you on this page?
2. From the above-linked page:
Show the Filter HUD by doing one of the following:
Choose Edit > Find (or press Command-F).
Click the Filter HUD button beside the search field in the Browser.
The instructions specify ONE of the following. Your question indicates to me that you are trying to do both.
3. The User Manual has used the wrong term here. It should say "Choose 'File Status' from the 'Add RULE' pop-up menu."
4. The command -- like all commands? -- works on the currently selected Images. On the same page in the User Manual it says:
You can select a group of images in the Browser and Aperture can show a list of the referenced images within the selection, including information about where the masters are located. {Emphasis mine.}
5. The Aperture workspace is highly configurable. I don't know what you mean by "the left-hand pane". Of what?
6. Yes. Of course it matters. At some point in the 80's when the GUI became standard computers standardized on the "Noun→Verb" syntax: Select object(s), select command(s).
7. Not sure what the second command to which your refer is.

Problem printing Illustrator files, and PDFs containing Illustrator files

I have encountered weird problem with differenf Adobe file formats. Here are the files I had problems with
1. opening PSD / JPEG files which had placed or embedded Illustrator graphs/ charts.
2. printing PDFs from an InDesign file which had a placed or embedded Illustrator (eps) file
3. printing original Illustrator files, or PDFs saved from the original Illustrator files.
Initially I thought that the problem with with my external drive, where I had versions of the InDesign and PSD files stored. But then I tried removing Illustrations from PSD and Indesign files and they printed without any problems.
Some illustrations are created in the Illustrator itself, others were downloaded from a stock photography site.
Please help me figure out what is the problem.
Thanks,
Marina

Hi Jacob,
I will find out re Post Script driver.
The printing window shows that I am connected to the printer (it's a network office printer) and that the document is printing, but nothing really happens. Meanwhile none of my colleagues can print anything because my file freezes the printer (if this is possible).
It sometimes says "client-error-not possible"
And below is the error message that i see when i try to open some of the Illustrator files (this one contained graphs and charts). It does open the file, however, and i can even edit it. But, both, a PSD and a JPEG file that contain graaphs from the Illustrator file below fails to open on my colleagues computer.
I forgot to say that I work on a Mac.
I am wondering whether the files are damaged, or the Illustrator needs to be reinstalled.

Is there a way to merge Static PDF files and PDF Forms

Hi All,
The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees
will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all
have a standard signature block. We have prototyped using LiveCycle
Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into
Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is
pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per
quarter.
The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app (stored
as BLOBs) and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. Posted
data goes back into database.
Here is the issue:
Does anyone know any way to use some combination of cfpdf /
cfpdfform / cfdocument that will allow us to create ONE generic
signature block form, 1200 static PDF files, and merge them on the
fly?
<cfdocument> apparently does not allow PDF data to be
included with a <cfpdfform>, as I have tried outputting PDF
variables, toBinary(PDF variable), PDF served by <cfcontent>
and various other combinations.
(If the non-form data were HTML, we could easily output in a
<cfdocumentsection> of the cfdocument, and add the
<cfpdfform source="#genericForm#" action="populate"> and be
done with it. But, we can't.)
<cfpdf action="merge"> with a combination of a static
PDF file and a populated form results in a flattend PDF file with
no form data.
I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and
regular PDF documents use a different schema. And, this may
prohibit what we want to do.
If anyone has experience with CF8 PDFs and PDF forms, or has
any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to
say, this is a six month project that must be live at the end
November.
Thanks!

As I mentioned on the other thread, the forms need to be
flattened. CFPDF cannot flatten LiveCycle forms, only Acrobat
Forms. The suggested solution was to use LiveCycle ES

How to search for a file and copy it to somewhere else in terminal

So basically how can I search for a file on my computer named "testingtesting.txt" and copy it to my desktop using terminal? I have very little experience in terminal, so I was going to try and use the mdfind command, then store that output as a variable, and use that variable as the source for the cp command, but I feel like there is probably a much simpler method. So basically how could I find a file named "testingtesting.txt", copy it, and paste it to my desktop using terminal.

Is there any particular reason that you must use Terminal?
You could just download the free EasyFind from the App Store and find the file quickly. Do whatever you wish with it.
Good luck,
Clinton

Cannot create PS file and PDF in Framemaker 9

I'm using Version 9.0p196.
When I used the "Advanced Save" to save an .fm file to a pdf, I got the message "The specified printer 'N/A' cannot be found, use printer 'Adobe PDF' instead. After I click OK, it said "cannot create PS file", and "failed to create PDF file.
It worked fine before.This problem was occurred after I copied some fonts to the following locations:
C:\Windows\Fonts
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker9\fminit\fonts\adobe
Those fonts are:
timesbd.ttf
times.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Regular.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Italic.ttf
HelveticaWorld-BoldItalic.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Bold.ttf
I have no idea if that's the cause of the problem. Does anyone know?
By the way, the FM 9 is running on XP.
Thanks,
Meggie

Meggie,
You may or may not have created a mess with fonts. I would try not to have duplicate fonts, it is totally sufficient to have them in C:\Windows\Fonts.
But your FrameMaker verson is definitely four (4) patches behind. The current version is 9.0.4 (9.0p255) and you can get the updaters here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows
You have to install them one after another.
Some of the patches improved the Save as PDF feature.
For further communication, please add your OS version and Acrobat version.

Two questions - embedded files and pdf creation

I'm wondering if some 'experts' can provide some information? We are a small education company that produce a monthly current events resource for Canadian schools. We provide these resources via mail and also as a pdf file from our website.
We are not 'experts' by any stretch of the imagination but we have been able to make ID suit our needs and we are learning slowly as we go. Over the summer, we hired a graphics company to refresh our products and we are very happy with the work they did.
What Im wondering about is they are advising that its bad to have pictures, etc. embedded in ID when creating a pdf file. I have never heard of this and Im wondering if someone can explain why?
Also, we have always created pdfs by printing a postscript file and then using Distiller to create the pdf, but again Im told that this is not a good idea and that creating the pdf directly from ID is best. I have tried this but the file sizes always seems to be larger and keeping it small is important.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Eric Wieczorek

Hi Robert and Jeffrey
Thanks for the info and advice. The reason that we have always embedded the files is that the file moves around the office while different people work on it on their own computers. And I also have a home office and I work there sometimes.
The file is about 30 - 40 pages and there are usually about 20 - 25 images so its just so much easier to embed all the links and just move the one file. We have found this to be the easiest way to work and we have never had any issues . . .

After my recent update, I can't get my music to copy to my itunes library. I've tried both adding file and folder, but nothing works. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you resolve it?

I've tried uninsstalling an re-installing itues sevral times, and still can't get it to work. I don't know what else to try.
Thank you in advance

iTunes will silently ignore any request to add files that it can't get access to. It is hard to know for certain but it seems that some requests go via the current user account and some via the system account. Might be worth checking that both your account and system have full access to all the files you are trying to connect, and that they are not hidden.
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

I updated to OS X Mavericks but I now have two Pages and two Numbers icons in my Dock. Both contain files and folders. I am not convinced that Mavericks installed correctly, but what should I do?

I updatd my MacBook Pro to OS X Mavericks, but I now have two icons in my dock for Pages and two for Numbers, both of them contain files and folders. If I click the original Pages icon it says that there is an update available, if I then click to update the Itunes pages says no updates available. I am not convinced that Mavericks updated correctly. What can I do please.

There are new versions of the iWork apps, but they have been completely re-written for Mavericks / iOS / iCloud integration. They are feature limited at this time, so Apple left the original versions on your Mac. They are in an iWork folder in the applications folder.
Along with changes to the programs themselves, the file formats are different. Some things like Google and Dropbox think the file formats are viruses and blocks them (I don't know if that is still the case as I don't use either). So, you may want to continue to use the old versions.
