(semi-)automatically updating cells/tables in pages from a numbers document

Hi,
I've been googling around for a bit, but can't find out if this is possible and if so, how to do it.
What I want to do is create a document in numbers (all the data for the invoices I send), then go to a standardized pages invoice and with a (couple of) click(s) generate the data from the numbers document.
E.g.; I've done a job for someone, whereby I worked *2 hours* for €50/h = €100. They also pay my travelling costs, say 100km at €0.30/km = €30.
Total amount excl. taxes = €130
Add 19% taxes €24,70
Total amount €154,70
All the bold items would have to be in my invoice. I usually have a table in my invoice, so ideally I would crosslink cells from the the pages doc with the corresponding cells in the numbers doc and be able to update any changes I make from the numbers to the pages document with the click of a button.
Is this possible within iWork '09?
If so; how? If not; would it be possible with an external program?
I'm now using MS Office, and my girlfriend knows how to do this between Word and Excel, but I don't want to always have to bother her for every invoice (it's not very easy, and I keep forgetting how to do it (and yes, I can write it down and look it up, but surely it should not be so hard to do someting like that on a Mac?)).
Help is appreciated

We may easily auto-fill a cell from the content of a cell of an other table.
Assuming that we have sheet "Sheet 1" containing a table "Table 1"
and
a sheet "Sheet 2" containing a table "Table 1"
In cell D5 of Table 1 of Sheet 2, insert the formula :
="Sheet 1 :: Table 1 :: B12"
When you will insert something in cell B12 of Table 1 of Sheet 1,
the value will be automatically available in cell D5 of Table 1 of Sheet 2.

Semi-automatic update/upgrade; is Arch wrong distro for these boxen?

I wanted to post here a semi-automatic update/upgrade solution I--with a lot of help from someone more knowledgeable--came up with in case it might be of benefit to anyone else. It's been working pretty well for me over the course of the last couple of weeks and should aid me in becoming a better Archer. I also want to ask in this thread for confirmation on whether installing Arch on a couple of machines I have that see fairly intermittent use is inadvisable: if so, I'll look into installing some other distro. First the semi-automatic update solution.
To begin with, what do I mean by "semi-automatic?" Mainly I mean something that's only partially automatic. See, I've come to understand that automating updates/upgrades is a bad idea©™. And I think I understand why. Still, I apparently lack the discipline to be a good Archer, upgrading/updating frequently so as to conform with the philosophy. So I thought I should use my computer to help me be more disciplined: that's partly what they're for, after all, isn't it?
I decided I might make the computer help me be more disciplined, first of all, by making it issue reminders at frequent, regular intervals, that it is time to update/upgrade. Of course cron came immediatelty to mind as part of the solution, though I ended up using the remind program instead. In any case, it seemed like a solution that, not only would remind me at regular, frequent intervals would be desireable, but one that would at the same time initiate the process, would be even better. I thought it must be possible to, for example, cause a terminal to open with a message and corresponding menu that would say something like "System update/upgrade needed: proceed now? 1. Yes 2. No"
This latter would be one of the elements that makes the solution semi-automatic (as opposed to automatic). Answering 2. in that terminal would cause the terminal to simply exit. Answering 1., on the other hand, runs the command sudo pacman -Syu. There is a further level of semi-automation at this stage: you are then prompted to enter the root password before pacman -Syu will run. So, no updating/upgrading happens without input at these two stages.
I should mention as I wrap up this description of my solution that there is yet another important element to it that, while independent of it, is nonetheless related: I subscribed some weeks ago to the Arch news RSS feed. I check that daily, so an even further level of semi-automation is in play here.
This seems to me like it will be a very good solution to bringing my behavior into better conformity with the Arch philosophy. It's worked well so far. That said, I'm certainly open to criticisms. I'm also very open to any improvements that might be suggested. Without further ado, here is the script I run every other day from the remind daemon:
#!/bin/bash
PS3='Begin full system upgrade? '
options=("Yes" "No")
select opt in "${options[@]}"
do
case $opt in
"Yes")
echo "Beginning full system upgrade..."
sudo pacman -Syu
exit
"No")
exit
echo "Please choose the corresponding number"
esac
done
Now, to my question about my other machines as possible Arch install targets. The above applies to the desktop machine in my apt. which is almost always powered on and connected to the 'net: what follows applies to two different machines.
One is a laptop that I use primarily when I travel. It often sits powered off for 1-2 months between uses. The other is an alternate desktop machine in my apt. that is also infrequently used: essentially, when both the wife and I want to work on-line separately--which is not all that frequently (she prefers knitting to computing during her time at home)--it gets fired up. Again, it often sits for 1-2 months without being used.
Now, it seems to me these machines are poor targets for an Arch install because they are far more frequently off-line than on-line, powered down than powered up. Thus they are very unlikely to be updated/upgraded on any kind of regular basis, and certainly never regularly and frequently, as seems to be recommended for Arch machines.
Am I correct in assuming I should be looking for some other distro to install on these infrequently-used machines?
Thanks,
James

I like pacmatic (as suggested at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … _pacmatic). What is supposed to be wrong with it?
It doesn't ignore updates, by the way. It does two things. First, it checks the news and tells you about important news items as soon as you run e.g. pacmatic -Syu. Then it runs the upgrade in the normal way. For example, a news item today concerned lvm2, dev-mapper and linux being upgraded together. It gave me the news item. Then it did the usual paman upgrade routine and upgraded everything, including those packages. Second, every time you run it, it reminds you of any *.pacnew files you haven't dealt with and asks if you want to deal with them now. At least, it asks about most. It never mentions kdmrc.pacnew for some reason.
It's just a wrapper for pacman. From the script:
Pacmatic is a pacman wrapper that takes care of menial but critial tasks.
These include
Checking the archlinux.org news
Summarizing the arch-general mailing list
Reminding if it has been a while since the last sync
Reporting pacnew files
Editing pacnew files
Personally, I've installed an alternative distro on machines which I'm not sure I will be using very regularly. (Also, I like having distinct distros just in case something goes wrong in one case - even if it is a bit of a faff sometimes.)

Code To Update the Table in ECC from Webdynpro

Hi All,
I want to know, the table is dispalyed in the webdynpro browser when we calls the Adaptive RFC Model.
after i want to add one more row in the webdynpro and just clicking on add button the row will be updated in the ECC server(backend) for that how can i write the coding, regarding this issue can you please help me.
ThanX All,

Hi Sriram,
          Assuming you have a table filled with records by adding one by one, If you want to update a table in SAP ECC, follow these steps..   i think already you are triggering the action for the button in view(for table updation) to method in controller or created a custom controller and mapped the model node.
1. Initialize the main model node and bind the model node with the intialised object like
     Zbapi_MainModelNode_Input input = new Zbapi_MainModelNode_Input();
                       wdContext.nodeZbapi_MainModelNode_Input ().bind(input);
2. Now loop the table node and set the values with corresponding class in the generated model (from webdynpro explorer) and initialize like
        IPrivateControllerName.ITableElement myTab = null;
       for ( int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeTable().size();i++)
                     myTab = this.wdContext.nodeTable().getTableElementAt(i);
     Bapi_structname name = new Bapi_structname();
                    name.setFieldName1(myTab.getFieldName1);
                    name.setFieldName2(myTab.getFieldName2);
                    input.addT_Bapi_(name);
Finally execute the BAPI..
   wdContext.currentZbapi_MainModelNode_Input tElement().modelObject().execute();
Hope this solves your issue - Update the Table in ECC from Webdynpro.

Manjunath

Insert pages from a single document multiple times

I'm trying to create a simple program that I can use to display PDF files that I can use to play at the piano. I perform often, and need to create "play lists" from which I can pull all, or part of, a PDF file containing music and display it.
I have it all working, except for one problem. I may need to "repeat" a section of a piece. I'm building up the play list by calling AcroPDDoc.InsertPages for each item in the play list. If a PDF file appears multiple times in the play list, when I call InsertPages, the call fails.
In this code snippet, pdDoc is the main doc to which I'm adding pages. playList is a generic List of my own PlayList objects, and I need to iterate through all the items in the playList except the first one, which is already loaded.
This code works great unless the fileName I specify has already been opened. The call to AcroPDDoc.Open succeeds just fine, but the call to pdDoc.InsertPages fails if the file has already had pages from it inserted. All other documents work fine. The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
        int insertPage = pdDoc.GetNumPages() - 1;
        for (int i = 1; i < playList.Count; i++)
          var newDoc = new AcroPDDoc();
          var item = playList(i);
          int startPage = 0;
          int endPage = 0;
          if (newDoc.Open(item.fileName))
            startPage = Math.Max(0, item.startPage);
            endPage = Math.Max(0, item.endPage);
            var totalPages = newDoc.GetNumPages;
            if (item.endPage < 0 || item.endPage > totalPages)
              endPage = totalPages - 1;
            int numPages = (endPage - startPage) + 1;
            if (pdDoc.InsertPages(insertPage, newDoc, startPage, numPages, 0))
              insertPage += numPages;
So, the questions:
1.) Is it possible to load pages from a single document multiple times?
2.) Is there a better way to do this? (That is, loop through a list of file names, starting and ending page numbers, and add the documents to an existing document.)
Any help appreciated! Thanks -- Ken

Hi Ken,
>The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
The documentation does not state explicitly that you can't insert pages again from a PDDoc you open again and never close.
But it mentions that you get references only from an already opened PDDoc.
"...Opens the specified document. If the document is already open, it returns a reference to the already opened PDDoc. You must call PDDocClose() once for every successful open..."
It doesn't state that you can't insert pages from a referenced PDDoc but it seems so.
I would close the PDDoc within your for-loop after inserting pages and release newDoc.
Regards
Norbert

How can one print a particular page or pages from a Word Document using ActiveX or any other technique?

I've been trying to print a few pages from a Word document.
Currently I am able to print the entire document using some ActiveX techniques.
There seems to be facilities for selecting the particular pages, however so far I cannot get them to work.
I have tried the From/To and the Pages in the PrintOut invoke node.
And as you will see I have also tried the Range node.
Anyone have some ideas on how to do this?
Please see the attached vi.
Thanks,
Chris

Re: How do I copy a page from one pdf document to another?

If you open both documents, you can drag a page from the Pages panel (on the left of the window) of one document and drop it into the Pages panel of another.
You can also extract one or more pages from a document to create a new document, and then insert the pages from this new document into another. In Acrobat 11 you 'd do this by doing:
Tools > Pages > Extract
and then:
Tools > Pages > Insert from File

No, so extract one page, then convert.

How do you extract non consecutive pages from a pdf document. I can highlight in thumbnails but only extract consecutive.

How do you extract non consecutive pages from a pdf document?
I see its easy to do it with consecutive pages by highlighting thumbnails then 'extract' but this does not allow for non consecutive pages.
Thank you

After highlighting the pages you can drag them and drop them somewhere,
like on the desktop, and a new file will be created with just those pages.
If highlighting the pages is not feasible, or too tricky to do, then a
script can be used where you specify which pages to extract and the script
extract them to a new file.

Is it possible to put a watermark across all pages of a Numbers document (i.e.: DRAFT). Thanks.

Is it possible to put a watermark across all pages of a Numbers document (i.e.: DRAFT)? Thanks.

You can include a water mark when priting by selecting the "Watermark" section from the print dialog.:
If this watermark feature is part of the printer driver and you don;t have this feature you can add a text box, then rotate the box 45 deg, make the font the color and texture you want, then copy and paste it to each page of you document:
You can place this text below ar above other content as you see fit by using the menu item "Arrange > Bring To Front" or "Arrange > Send To Back"

How do i create a chart that will update in keynotes or pages from numbers?

Hi edwill,
In iWork, I don't know of a way to link between documents. If you are looking for a way to update a Pages or Keynote document automatically when you update a Numbers document, I don't think that is possible. Perhaps someone who is an AppleScript guru can call in to help you.
