Thumbnails for XLS, DOC, etc

Hello,
is it possible to have XLS file checked in and to have thumbnail for it? As far as I can see, one option is to use XLS -> PDF conversion with Inbound Refinery and then we will have thumbnail. I can agree that we need to have M$ Office installed for this purposes, but I don't want to store data as PDF, I still need XLS as file format. Is it possible and if "yes" then "how"?
Thanks!

Not sure if you can do it via web (not to say there isn;t a way), but my guess would be to write a JNLP to get them to DL a tmp java prog that has the info tied into it, then the prog auto executes, it creates the file. You could also set up a 'client' version of your prog that would be able to accept that stuff. Again prob using XML make it generate some kind of document, get the client to auto goto a URL it has been sent then, accept that XML (or you can use other methods) then parse it client side, write the file that way.
Not sure if that helped at all, you never really explained what your server prog does.

Phonegap - loading an external PDF/XLS/DOC/etc, what happens?

Hey all,
I'd like to make a phonegap app but I'm curious how one part of it will act.
This would be a very simple brochare-ware type app (like apps that show off cars, etc). It will contain office-esque docs (.pptx, .docx, .xlsx, .pdf, etc). These documents will be hosted on the web. If the user chooses to view one of these files, is it possible to contain the document so you don't leave the app?
What I'm thinking is I'll need to insert an iframe somewhere and point it to the resource. Will this keep me inside the app?
My biggest fear is making an app with phonegap and every time a user wants to view a PDF (or anything) it leaves the app and launches safari to go view the asset. I'd like to remain inside the app at all times when viewing these resources.
Does anyone know if an iframe approach would work? Other alternatives?
Thanks for tips!

For the time being, store everything in the same folder (as good a place as any) and use code like you showed.

FF5 download is offering open with Word for .xls docs. in Options|Applications Excel has a Word icon ! Others also have this problem.

Problem does not happen with IE9

Thanks edmeister. I'm raising this more because I think this has come through with FF5, so the update will be causing work for some and grief for others.
Yes we can go to manage file types, but the problem might be better resolved by being stopped at source.
I have been getting email requests for a download from people who lack the savvy or are too busy to bother. If it isn't made easy for them, they just go elsewhere.
If it is an FF5 update issue, I'm not really the right guy to fix it.

New to iPad from android/PC...How can I view PDF, XLS, DOC files when I am not connected to wifi?

I understand that GoodReader is able to open PDF, XLS, DOC, etc., but is not actually able to edit them.
Documents-to-Go can edit them, but will they be stored on my iPad?
Evernote seems to be able to access them without being connected to wifi, but cannot edit spreadsheets that I am aware of.
Does anyone have any good suggestions to be able to access documents while in airplane mode?

GoodReader, Documents to Go, Pages, Numbers can all store documents on the iPad.

Display documents (jpg,doc,tff,ppt,pps,xls,pdf etc) in web dynpro

Hi experts,
                I have a requirement to upload the document of any type (jpg,doc,tff,ppt,pps,xls,pdf etc) to a Z table (may be in a binary format) in a web dynpro application.
I think this can be achieved through Fileupload view element.
In another window, I need to display the document based on what is selected in the table row. Which control or method can display any type of document? As far as I know, the office control view element can only display documents of type (.doc and .xls).
Please provide pointers on this or any example will help me.
Thanks,

Custom thumbnail for a file type, not a single file

I understand that when I upload an asset to the DAM of a file type for which CQ5 doesn't support thumbnail generation (Excel .xls and .xlsx, in my case), CQ5 will use a default dogeared-page icon for the thumbnail. it also writes an error-level message to the log to the effect that it can't generate a thumbnail. E.g.,
15.10.2012 12:03:47.078 ERROR [JobHandler: /etc/workflow/instances/2012-10-15/model_1135358760340484:/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls/jcr:content/renditions/original] com.day.cq.dam.commons.handler.AbstractAssetHandler createThumbnails: cannot create thumbnails for asset [/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls], failed loading graphical representation for rendition [/content/dam/FY06NIVDetailTable1.xls/jcr:content/renditions/original].
The error message is mostly harmless, but I would like to prevent it.
And I understand that I can add a thumbnail after the fact. But despite the language in the document, apparently this thumbnail does not apply to subsequent uploads (for all files of the same type).
Is there a way to establish a thumbnail image that applies to subsequent uploads?

Hi David,
Thumbnail upload (or for that matter any rendition upload) is specific to that image and it will not apply to set of images.
If we want to apply some custom thumbnail instead of the default one either we need to override the default image or custom workflow step is required.
If we override the default image it will apply acroos the DAM.
Regarding custome workflow step. This step will be added after thumbnail creation step in DAM Update Asset workflow(this wf is responsible for creating all renditions). In this workflow step you can check whether thumbnail is created or not if not create thumbnail of your desire.

Enable video file and image file thumbnails WITHOUT enabling thumbnails for other filetypes

Hello. I am new to Mac and pulling my hair out at some of the limited UI options
I am wanting my image-files and video-files to appear in Finder (desktop etc) as thumbnails
However, I DON'T want PDFs, Excel, Word, PowerPoint files to have a preview thumbnail
Basically how things are now either way, it's very cumbersome visually to distinguish between file-types while cruising around my folders with a quick glance.
if thumbnail previews are on for all, its hard to tell at a quick glance which are PDFs, Excel files vs. images
similarly, the little "pdf" or "xlsx" or "docx" text overlay on these previews is so small and non-color coded as to be useless for quick-glance recognition of which filetype
if thumbnails are off, it's impossible to glance at files in a folder and know which image or video each is without wasting my precious miliseconds clicking on them, or trying to actually read truncated filenames
Here are some possible solutions which I hope somebody knows how to do:
globally enable or disable icon previews by filetype (preferred)
stipulate adding overlayed mini icons to certain filetypes
example: if it's a pdf, show the icon preview, but overlayed on that would be the red Adobe pdf icon/logo roughly a quarter of the size of the file icon (like is possible in Windows 7).
this way image and video previews can be seen at a glance, but having a big red or green or blue logo makes for immediate recognition of filetype
(least prefered but could help) ...somehow change the font color and increase the font size of the overlayed "pdf" "xlsx" "doc" "pptx"currently standard on these filetypes while showing icon preview but ALL are miniscule black text no matter which filetype
I'm quite dumbfounded right now that something for better immediate-glance filetype recognition isn't standard, or at least easily Google'able. All I've found is the Either/Other bamboozle.
Would love it to hear of a solution for this. Thanks all.

Put all of your separate flash movies into one move, and then

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
- HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine
- Project is under RoboSource version control
TEMPORARY INTERNET SETTINGS
- “Check for newer versions of stored pages” is
set to “Automatically”
- “Current location” for the Temporary Internet
files folder is set to “C:\Documents and Settings\My
Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\”
- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)
- “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”
(Last Accessed 12/14/06) (Version 1,5,722,0)
- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

My itunes library was on my PC. About two years ago I switched it to my Seagate server/hardrive. (itunes-preferences-advanced-change library). Last summer (2012) I bought a macbook, which seems to access the seagate server hard drive fine for word docs, excel spreadsheets,etc. It also seems to have started its own library which is not complete. My PC died this summer (I still have it though).
Now when syncing any of the multiple devices (ipods,ipads, iphones) that we have with my mac book, itunes states that "an error occurred" or the "app cannot be found". Itunes wants me to erase the device and sync with my macbook. The message "The iPhone “Renee’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library on “Renee PC”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."appears.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see thumbnails for PDF files in my Windows Explorer

Hi,
When browsing through my File Manager to look for files, I used to be able to see a thumbnail of any PDF files I'd saved.
I can still see the old ones created earlier, but my more recent files just show a black square with the Adobe 'A' in bottom right hand corner or sometimes a large Adobe 'A' on white field with "PDF" in top left corner.
Seeing a thumbnail I think helps to find your file. Does anyone know why I don't get them any more or how to get them back. (The save a thumbnail option is checked for normal word docs, but not visible when saving as PDF.
I am using Mic Office 2010 (Word) to save as PDF. My computer is Windows 7 64bit.
Interesting, I can see a preview of PDF files which is a help, but not individual thumbnails for my more recent files....can still see them for older, longer ago saved PDFs.
Added info:
Just checked, I last had thumbnails in December 2011, January 2012 I stopped getting them.
Tried to insert a picture to show you what I get in explorer, but just get a big dark grey square so I'll explain. Just worked out the following.
Prior to end of 2011 my PDFs have a thumbnail.
After that I just have a black square with the Adobe 'A' in bottom right hand corner if I create PDF with Word
If I do 'Save As' while in the reader I get a large Adobe 'A' on white field with "PDF" in top left corner

NO, NOT THAT SIMPLE, now I find some normal thumbnails later in 2012, so the behaviour is changeable!!!!!

How to get - Net amount for accounting doc in the SD doc flow?

Hi,
In my report I have to show the net amounts from the Sales doc, invoice and accounting doc, etc.
I got the FI doc amount from BSEG, however there the gross amount is stored.
I noticed that in the SD document flow for the accounting document the net amount is shown.
I tried with the following calculation, however in some cases this doesn't work (eg there is separate tax item in the FI doc):
"<lwa_bseg>-wrbtr - <lwa_bseg>-wmwst"
Is there a function module/sap standard code to provide this data?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

when u see the Item Header in SO or Billing , at the Head of Condition table u will get NET amount ?
are u not maintaining any seperate conditions for this NET amount ?
have a word with ur functional guys , so he can help u out.

How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
Check the apps James Ward suggests.
