Translate or conversion to and from AppleWorks

As I have been reading, there is a lot of questions about converting different formats to AppleWorks or to other formats. I have been using AppleWorks/ClarisWorks since the the beginning, Heck I still have copies of MacPaint and MacWrite from 1985. There has been a program that I have used for years, I think, I first bought it in 1996 or 97, and it has been a lifer saver for cross platform converting. It is : MacLinkPlus Deluxe, current version is 16, it is made by DataViz. There have been very few formats that I have not been able to convert and this program has been my main first option in cross application of platform conversion. My two cents for an old timer.

Hi!
I had the same problem a couple of months ago. I didn't find any classes in the jdk distribution to do this, nor did I find any classes or package on the web that did this.
The solution? I got a bit of C code from one of my working mates and converted it to Java. I have the code, but my company own the code. I have to check if it�s ok to share this code with you.
BTW. If you find any package on the web that does this, pleas inform me.

Char set conversion to and from UTF-7

Hi,
I am working on Char set conversion to and from UTF-7. However I cannot find and ChatToByte classes for UTF-7 in i18n.jar . Any ideas as how to proceed further with this issue. I feel that there must be a way since UTF-7 is a pretty popular charset especially in emails.
Thanx in advance.

I read that Lion will not support my Quicken and/or Appleworks. How am I going to use my financial data and my documents?

I have read that Lion will not support Quick and/or Appleworks. How am I to continue to use my financial data and documents?

I posted this answer to the same question about AppleWorks in the AppleWorks community two days ago.
I use iWork. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
The third-party application, EazyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. If you still have access to AppleWorks you can copy the contents of draw documents, paste them into an AppleWorks word processing document in object mode (click the arrow in the tool panel), save the WP document & then open it in Pages. You can copy & paste from AppleWorks to Pages but you would have to do it object by object or it will be one big uneditable object. Check Yvan Koenig's iDisk for many AppleScripts he has written to make conversion easier. Most are made to do batch conversions.
There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents. Database data can be copied & pasted into an AppleWorks spreadsheet, saved & opened in Numbers or saved as ASCII/plain text & opened in most any spreadsheet, database or word processing program. Paint documents can be saved as one of many different formats to be opened in most image editing programs. I recommend using PICT or PNG for best results.
For a replacement for Quicken, I've narrowed my choices down to SEE Finance, Moneydance or Jumsoft's Money. I need to work with them more before I make my final decision. Mac | Life suggests SEE Finance as the best option.

Moving away from AppleWorks

Hi,
my dad is about to move away from old AppleWorks as no one else can read the format any longer. As he will need to send his documents to PC folks using MS Word is it a bad thing to go for Pages instead of Word 2008 for Mac? He doesn't really care what text editor to use as long as it's easy for him to share his documents with PC folks.
And what about conversion of his old AppleWorks documents, is this as simple/complex with either of MS Word/Pages?

How do I move a graphic-box in a document I imported from AppleWorks?

I imported a book which I wrote in AppleWorks without problems into Pages '08. On one page of this book I had created a box, using the graphics tool, and moved it to the back so I could read the text inside it. It is now in the Pages '08 version of my book, but because of editing and additional writing which I've done, it appears on page 295, not 297 where it belongs. In AppleWorks I could simply select it and drag it into place. In Pages '08 I can't figure out how to select it. It's just there.
Help desperately needed.

Here is an AppleScript which, in a single call will
• extract the embedded picture files
• strip the annoying description of the 'background' pictures from the Index.xml file.
So, we may open the Pages document, it will be free of the oddity and the picture files are available in the folder "importés_sétropmi" on the desktop.
--(SCRIPT recupPictures]
Save the script as an Application (Bundle Application if you want to use it on a MacIntel)
Store it on the Desktop.
Drag and drop the icon of a Pages document imported from AppleWorks on the script's icon.
The script will move the embedded picture files in a folder named "importés_sétropmi" on the desktop.
Then it will strip the Index.xml file from the block of datas describing the embedded pictures.

Can't print from Appleworks 6

My wife's computer is a G4 Sawtooth, running OSX 10.2. Printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R220. All of the sudden, we can't print from Appleworks word processing. When we try, the printer window from the Print Center says that it's opening communications with the printer for a bit, but after a short time stops the printer and quits trying. The thing is, we can print from MS Word. Also, this computer is networked to my G4 ibook (10.3.9), which has an Epson Stylus Photo 825 attached. Using printer sharing, I can print through Appleworks to the Stylus 825 from the Sawtooth.
This is a sudden onset problem. Yesterday she could use the R220. Today she can't. I've tried reinstalling the printer driver, with no effect.
At about the same time, in what may or may not be a related problem, I stopped being able to print from either computer to my HP laserjet 4050tn, which is on an ethernet print server. Reinstall doesn't help.
I had an intel mini whose harddrive died attached to the network. The mini is still out for repair, but I've also used both of these printers successfully since the mini was disconnected.
Any ideas?
duo core mini; ibook G4: G4 Sawtooth Mac OS X (10.2.x) Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer

Sudden onset of problems is a sure sign of corrupt preferences. Printing problems are among many that may be cured by deleting the AppleWorks preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more information.

Can't print from AppleWorks

I have a template I set up in AppleWorks several years back to print addresses on Avery-type labels. I just tried to print one, but nothing happened. I looked in the printer utility (Canon iP90) window, and the job appears there, but says "Stopped". I clicked the Resume button there, and nothing happened; I clicked the Resume button again, and a dialog appeared: "Operation could not be completed. client-error-not-possible".
I created a new AppleWorks WP document, with just a few letters typed in it, and tried to print it; same result: it appears in the print utility window as "Stopped".
Finally, I tried making a PDF of the document I want to print, opened it in Preview, and tried to print it; the first couple of times it just fed the paper through without printing, while this message appeared in the print utility window: "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/PrintJobMgr/Contents/MacOS/PrintJobMgr failed". The third time the same message appeared, but it printed (on test paper). The fourth time, I put the label sheet in, and it printed as normal, without the error message.
Maybe there's something screwy about the printer software -- though I've had no problem printing from other applications. But I do recall having trouble printing from AppleWorks before; I think since I moved to 10.5. Has anyone else had problems printing from AppleWorks?

Thanks for the responses. I don't have time at the moment to make further tests, but I also have a Canon MP610, and will try printing to it when I can. I "moved to 10.5" some time back from 10.4 by erasing my HD and installing fresh, as I usually do with major upgrades, then downloaded the latest drivers for my printers from the Canon website. It may be that the driver for the iP90 is corrupted, though as I said I've had no problems printing from other apps, e.g. TextEdit, Preview. I don't print often.
I expect to be moving up to 10.6, now that the font problems have apparently finally been solved, within a week or so; from Apple's list of printer drivers for 10.6, it appears the one they have is newer than the one on the Canon site (v.10.30.3.0 vs. 10.26.1.0), and I gather that 10.6 installs only the drivers needed (rather than the whole gigabyte package) so I'll go with that one and see how it works with AppleWorks.
Of course, eventually I'll have to move out of AppleWorks entirely, though I still wish it had been properly updated for OS X, rather than replaced with iWork, which may be very slick but lacks much of AW's sophistication and ease of use.

Conversion Agent and the module processor

Hi,
i have to make an offer for a client of ours. Therefore i was thinking to propose the conversion agent for developing a process module into the inbound communication channel in the XI-Scenario.
But i think i understand sth wrong or does this module substitute the normal mapping inside the XI?!
Can someone give me a hand?!
thx in advance

Jens,
Conversion Agrent is used to convert non XMl data into XML and vice versa.
For example it can read a PDF, EXCEL and conevrt it into XMl and also convert XML into EDI formats etc etc.
You use the conversion agent studio to develop the conversion mapping and then deploy it as a module. From the comm channel you call the Conversion Agrent Module which in turn runs on its own Engine and does the conversion for you.
So, if possible, you can also use conversion agent to actually read your source and create iyt in the format of the target and thgerbey replace Mapping. But, it all depends on the feasibility of what you are trying to do.

Bhavesh

Difference between Conversion progs and INTERFACES

Hi plz tell me ...
whats the difference between Conversion progs and Interfaces in ABAP .
wat are conversion progs ( exmple) and interfaces ( exmple ) ?
thnks in advance....

Hi
CONVERSION programs are the ones which have one time usage, usually when a legacy system is being replaced by a system like SAP, then the data has to be mapped from the legacy system to SAP system. Here the data to be converted is given on a flat file & is uploaded to SAP tables mostly using LSMW only. Conversions programs are BDC,BAPI and LSMW programs in which you upload all the related tables from the flat files.Those are one time programs.
Interface programs are those programs in which you fetch the data from the application server and process on theose data.These are helpful when you have to run any program in the backgroup when the presentation server is not working.
INTERFACE programs are the ones which are run at regular intervals, say weekly, monthly or even daily. Here the legacy system continues to co-exist along with SAP system, the legacy system might be useful for certain functionalities but the data might have to run thru SAP transactions for complex data maintenance at regular intervals.
In Simple
CONVERSIONS : Converting Legacy System DATA into a flat file
INTERFACES : Converting Flat File into SAP
Conversion Program

Conversion/Creating Contract from Install Base Information

Hi All,
My client has just completed Install base conversion from the legacy system
(both history and active information).They have also completed sales order conversion for the open orders only from legacy system.They have done the customer conversion,item conversion as well from the legacy system.
Now the customer wants to create program for running the Contract conversion from Install base.They want to take extract from install base and done some validation and call the contract api to create the contract.
I am assigned this job,I need some information on this :-
1. Is it possible to run a extract from install base and though contract api,create the contract (since the billing,invoicing,payment rule is missing).As per client,these values will be defaulted.Also price list information,they want to derive the price based on the item at the run time.
2. If the first method of getting the extract from install base is considered,which all fields from install base are necessary to create the contracts.
3.Further to ,if starting from the install base extract,what are the list of validation done before calling the contract api to create the contract headers,lines.
4. Is it better idea to start the extract from legacy system and do the validation program and then call the contract api to create the contract.
5. If the first method of getting the extract from legacy is considered,which all fields from install base are necessary to create the contracts.
6.Further to ,if starting from the legacy extract,what are the list of validation done before calling the contract api to create the contract headers,lines.
7.I am basically keen to know how this design will work.Any help,support will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pooja

Ajay,
I would say to change the business process and adapt new practices in Oracle.I am not sure at what point of time they get the information about the "instance" in their field service system (Booking or Picking).
When the order is booked we do not choose the serial number (if it is non serial it is even worse), only at the time of pick confirmation we do that if you have setup such serial number control in inventory for the item (unless you are selling airplanes or ships where you know which customer is getting what much in advance).
If you are feeding them after pick confirmation when the instance information is known (not final yet!), you can institute a business process where unless FS gives the final go for ship confirmation cannot happen (notification based).
It is not a good idea to update IB (There is no API Support for the instances that are in inventory) that is still in inventory.
You can place an order line on hold order ship confirmation and before invoicing.
Let the ship confirmtion update IB and FS (I am not sure why you call it Field Service when they want to touch the machine that is still in Inventory) can come update the instance again after they finish the work using debrief for the service request. There is no harm in that. Once they do this, you can identify the order line that is on hold and release it so that invoicing can happen.
Ship Confirmation is a system transaction, and does not mean that the physially the product is out yet.!
Thanks

Difference between conversion id and correlation id in bpel

Hi All,
In invoke/receive/pick activity, there are two options. one for conversion id and one from correlation id. I know the purpose of correlation id in these activities. But donot know what is the difference between both.
Are both having same functionality or something overlapping.

Consume conversational web services from WebLogic

hi all,
any one tried to consume conversational async webservices from weblogic 7 ? or tried to create conversational async webserices on sunONE ?
I am looking for standards to create interoperable async webservices which will use callbacks on the client side for notifications. Please advise...

Hi Raja,
Following patterns will likely give you a good idea of the type of problems you will have to address in real-world apps involving interactions with async Web services. I would encourage you to make the leap to studying BPEL4WS (and possibly WS-Transaction as well if you have true transactional requirements).
App servers are at the core synchronous engines while BPEL4WS calls for asynchrony top to bottom. Saying that, it is possible to create an orchestration engine (as a J2EE container) on top of an app server to deliver orchestration infrastructure that deals with asynchrony, exception handling, long-running transactions, to enable developers to focus on the orchestration logic (i.e. BPEL) rather than re-invent the infrastructure wheel for each application built.
Take a look at the Q&A content here, hope it helps.

Strange letter spacing from AppleWorks

I am getting strange letter spacing with some fonts from AppleWorks. There is more space between some letters than others—some letters are almost touching each other, while there is a gap between others, creating an ugly appearance. I printed out the same text in the same font from TextEdit and it looked beautiful. The problem is not confined to just one font or document. I thought I had the latest version of AppleWorks,which is 6.2.4. I have a Brother HL-5250DN laser printer.

AppleWorks 6 is really an OS 9 application carbonized (quickly) to run in OS X & it has never been coded to take advantage of most of the "bells & whistles" of OS X, such as font display. TextEdit is a cocoa application - OS X only. The problem you're seeing may be fixed by turning Fractional Character Widths in Preferences > General… > Topic: Text on (or off if it's on). Some users like the system hack, Silk. You can find it with a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker.
The last version of AppleWorks is 6.2.9, released in January, 2004. Here at the links I have for the 6.2.9 updater. The first has a link to the North American updater in the upper right & links to other languages further down.
