Unable to Edit DOCx file converted by ExportPDF - HELP!

I am unable to edit a DOCx file that I created by converting a PDF file using the ExportPDF subscription.
The file was originally created in Adobe InDesign. I have the PDF. I need to convert it to DOCx to edit the text. The document is basically text and a few photos. I don't care about the photos.
When I convert the PDF using ExportPDF I get a DOCx file but I am not able to edit the text. It appears to have converted it into graphics. I tried to highlight the 'boxes' hoping to use the Word 'convert tables to text' feature, but that does not seem to work here.
I tested ExportPDF with another PDF that was created from a text-only DOCx file. ExportPDF converted it seamlessly to a DOCx file.
How can I convert a PDF file, originally created in Adobe InDesign, to a DOCx file in which I can edit the text.
Thanks.

Dannie,
Are you familiar with dreamweaver templates and editable regions? If the logo is in the template, then you need to modify the template file. The changes you make to the template will automatically be propogated to all of the files which use the template. If your html file uses a template, the html code will look like its commented out.
Also, you should not have to download the html fiile from your server because you should always keep a copy of all the html files on your computer.
I don't know about the SWF error.
Good luck.

Unable to edit XLSM files in SharePoint using hyperlink?

Hi All,
Unable to edit .xlsm files using hyperlink, please guide me.
Thanks
Ramanjulu Naidu N

Hi Ramanjulu,
Did this happen to all users?
Did the "Read Only/Edit" dialog pop up when you click the .xlsm Name link from SharePoint 2010?
Could you see the yellow message bar with "Edit Workbook" button when you open the .xlsm file in your Excel Application?
You can check if the following kb article could solve yellow message bar missing problem, set "Browser File Handling" as Permissive for your web application, or update the registry for client Office application.
Also check if the add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is enabled in your IE 32-bit browser.

Unable to edit PDF files in Adobe Acrobat DC

i am unable to edit a file in adobe acrobat dc i have tried with multiple files and everytime i click edit pdf it get a pop up that says adobe acrobat dc has encountered an unknown error however i have been able to edit a few pdf's i tried everything from re downloading a new file to saving it in acrobat reader and nothing is working please help

Hi imadb,
Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
If you want to evaluate Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.
Best,

Unable to edit html file

Hi,
I downloaded an html file from our server to edit the logo. However, I am unable to edit the logo part. It's like commented out. And once I opened the file on Dreamweaver CS5, I am getting this pop-up message:
"This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
I can't edit the html file and change the logo. Please help.
Thank you and God bless!

Unable to edit excel files on my Lumia 710

I am using a Lumia 710. I have synced it through Skydrive with my Laptop with Windows 8 64 Bit OS and MS Office 2010. My Excel & Word Documents are in the .xlsx & docx formats, hence presumably I should be able to edit them on my mobile. However, I am able to edit some of the excel files whereas in the others I am unable to edit. How can I overcome this?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear that. It's best to contact Microsoft about it since they determine the supported languages in Windows Phones.
You can also suggest such feature from this link: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions
Hope this helps.

Unable to edit Hosts file in Win7 Home Prem 64bit.

Clean install. Administrator account. Unable to edit the permissions of the hosts file. There is one in the drivers\etc file, which I cannot edit. There is supposed to be one in %systemroot% \SysWOW64\drivers\etc but there is no etc folder in the drivers folder.
Turned off DNS Server. gpedit.msc not found when calling it in "run". This is the first time I've used 64bit anything, so a bit of a newb in that respect.
Any ideas?

Hi,
As you would know, some of the Windows 7 users can’t save the host file how they like it. The host file itself will simply vanish what the user had done with it.
In my scenario, I was unable to fix this even after all the instructions provided in above posts. Hence, I have come up with my own idea and luckily it
worked.<o:p></o:p>
For those users who experience this problem, here are the instructions to fix it.
First of all, you should have the administrative privileges to edit the host file. In normal case, if an admin user directly go to the host file in system 32 and add his preferences
and then save it, it should keep the changes. However, in some wicked scenarios, it will not. I had done a detailed research on this through all the available online forums and even contacted Microsoft several times with no luck.
So, here you go with a correct solution for this problem.
Note: If you are not comfortable with Windows OS and don’t know what you are doing, this process can mess up things.
Hence, do not attempt if you are not 100% sure you can make it.
Login to an administrator account.
In the run command (Windows key + R) type, “control folders” and hit enter.
Click on the tab called view.
Select the radio button for Show hidden files, folders and drivers –ON.
Uncheck the ‘Hide extension for known file types-ON
Click on Apply and then OK.
Type “drivers” in run command and hit enter. It will take you to where the folder “drivers” located in System 32.
From the “drivers” folder, double click the folder named “etc.”
Now you can see the “host” file along with others.
Now, in the search area in start menu, type “notepad.exe” and open the notepad.exe as administrator. (In order to do this, you can right click on the notepad.exe shown and select
“Run as Administrator.” If UAC prompted, click YES/OK)
Now, you will have a notepad open with administrative privileges.
At the top left side of the notepad click on “file” and then select “Open.”
A box will appear which will allow you select the file to open. Carefully, navigate to the location where the “host” file is located. To do that, select the drive where you
installed Windows. If you have the Windows installed in C: select ‘Local Disk (C :)’ > Windows > System 32 > drivers > etc. At this point, you might not have another option to proceed or select from. The window would be empty. To proceed further,
select the option “All files” from the drop down menu which is located above the “Open” and “Cancel” button. You can now see all the files located in etc folder.
Select “hosts” from the menu and click on “Open.” Note: You can either click on open or double click on the file.
Now, you will have the host file information open in the notepad which you had already initiated before with administrative privileges.
Make whatever changes you as you wish. (Example: If you need to block a web site called
www.block123.com you can type 127.0.0.1
www.block123.com right under the local hosts.
Make sure you do not change any other letters or characters which are already saved in host file.
This will completely mess up your computer. For more information on the information about host file, refer the Microsoft web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034 . If you
have accidently delete/edit anything from host file, please delete the complete information stored in host file and copy and paste the host file information from Microsoft which is appropriate for your Operating System.)
Click on “file” again and select “Save as” and save it in etc. If the path is showing correct to etc folder, save it to etc. If it is navigated to somewhere else, follow the
instructions provided above and select etc folder and then save it.
Now, go back to the actual host file location which is in System32 > Drivers > etc (You would have it already open if you had followed the instructions just like the way
I have provided)
There you can see 2 host files. One which has already been there and the other one you just saved.
Among the two, one is called “hosts” and the ‘type’ would be ‘file.’ This is the original host file. The other which you have just saved will be named as “hosts.txt” with the
file type as ‘Text Document.’
Right click on the original host file and select rename. You can even click on that file and press F2. This will enable the option to rename the file. Rename the original host
file as “hostold” and hit enter.
Now, select the second host file which we have saved as a text document and rename it as “hosts.” Make sure that you DELETE the .txt file extension in order to change the type
“Text Document” to “File” and hit enter.
Now, you have successfully saved the host file with your preferences.
You can now delete the file which we renamed as “hostold.”
We are done. You would need to do this process all over if you need to edit the host file again. I know it is difficult, however, it is our own requirement and we have to invest
few minutes on this.
Enjoy your computer with a great feeling that you have finally edited the host file as per your wish and take it from here. Wish you luck.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I am unable to edit my files in illustrator cs6 creative cloud

I can open my .ai files and create new .ai files - but I cannot edit these files. for example if I click on the type tool or the rectangle tool and try to insert text or a rectangle into my document - the hand tool comes up instead and nothing happens.
I cannot edit existing text either.
I have had creative cloud for several months and it worked fine until today. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Check your graphics configuration/ driver or anything like a tablet driver. You most likely have changed something there/ installed new drivers...

Docs To Go is unable to open .docx files stored on Dropbox.

Z30 running OS 10.2.1.2126
Docs To Go version is unattainable (original version that came with the Z30)
Dropbox client version unattainable (original version that came with the Z30)
Love my Z30 but, like everything else new, growing pains are a part of the package...
I have one each of a .doc and .docx file in my Dropbox area. Docs To Go cannot see or open the .docx file, while both formats are visible and accessible on my installed media card. Is there a setting that I need to change somewhere?
Thanks.

I believe I found the source of the issue. In my DropBox account are two files, which I will call fileA.doc and fileB.docx, where fileA and fileB are tokens in place of the real file names. In this case, fileA and fileB are the same name.
MS Word on my Win7 workstation can see and open both fileA.doc and fileB.docx with no issues.
Documents To Go and the Blackberry 10 File Manager can not.
The DropBox website itself will not list both fileA.doc and fileB.docx. This leads me to believe that the website code that manages files only counts the first three characters of the file extension as significant and only sees fileA.doc and fileB.doc. I sent an issue ticket to DropBox support and hope to see a resolution by the end of this week.

"Unable to open project file." i need help! URGENT

before the problem...
my film project and all its files were in a WD external drive. i had some problems with soundtrack pro being too slow because the files were on an external drive, so i bought 2 Internal Seagate drives. i moved all my files to the internal drives, and i changed my scratch disk to my new drive.
i have done this procedure several times before, and i never faced this problem before!
after...
so i went on to launch my FCP project, and while loading i got this message "Unable to open project file."
how can i fix it?

nope!
but here is what i did:
i reformatted it, and moved the files again... and surprisingly, it worked!
computers have a mind of their own sometimes!
but now i have another problem... i opened soundtrack pro to work on the same project, but its very slow! it keeps freezing whenever i want to make any actions.

Unable to edit Excel file via WebDAV in IE

LS,
Aim
To be able to open an Excel file in Oracle Portal via IE for editing (ergo, if changed it needs to be saved in the same location where it resides = database)
What have we done so far
OraDAV has been implemented (basic manner), a pagegroup has been created in Oracle Portal for security, next we stored some Excel files for test purposes.
Opening and editing using Windows Explorer (when testing) works fine, but opening from browser (Internet Explorer) opens Excel-file in read-only mode!
Workaround
Create windows shortcuts to Excel files in the OraDAV Webfolder, shortcuts are then placed in a public Windows-share which is running on a workstation.
Accessing these shortcuts from both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer works fine then.
But...
Unfortunately, implementing a windows share on a server is considered to be not an option by the network security team, and it's also not an option to continue using a workstation for that purpose.
What does Metalink say (we created TAR for this)
CLARIFICATION
====================
This issue happens on WEBDAV.
Using=>Windows Explorer it works fine.
Using=>Internet Explorer it does not do as the customer aspected.
Webdav:
Using=>Windows Explorer
going to folder
http://<machine>:7778/dav_portal/.../QA1.XLS
double clicked QA1.XLS and this opens in Microsoft Excel.
After made modifications the file is saved correctly without any issue.
Using=>Internet Explorer
Calling the
URL:http://<machine>:7778/.../QA1.XLS
the file QA1.XLS opens within Internet Explorer the Microsoft Excel plugin.
Problem is it the file opened in read-only mode and when you click save it wants to save
in local drive.
ISSUE VERIFICATION
===================
Verified the issue by the OWC session.
RESEARCH
=========
TESTCASE
I have tested the same issue on 9.0.2.3 and 10.1.2 portal versions.
They are all behaving the same.
CAUSE DETERMINATION
====================
This is intended behaviour.
CAUSE JUSTIFICATION
====================
Details => http://www.webdav.org
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/PUBLISH_CONTMGMT/TECHNOTE_WEBDAV.HTML
What does Portal documentation say
Source: Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2 âTechnical Overview
An Oracle White Paper; April 2002; Page 17
=======================================================
Integrating with the desktop
File-type item content can also be published to the portal repository via the Webbased Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. Using a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer, a portal page group can be mapped as a Web Folder. Users can then simply drag and drop content, files, and folders between portal pages and the desktop. File-type items can also be opened, edited, and saved directly from WebDAV desktop applications like MS Office 2000.
Thus...
Even though Metalink is implying it is not possible, one would think it IS possible, since IE is also a valid WebDAV client.
Bottom line
Does anyone know how to set up Portal in combination with WebDAV to ensure editing of Excel files will happen via Internet Explorer AND changes will be saved back onto the original location
Thanks, Patrick

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?

christian

Unable to edit php files in CS3

Hi,
I have users that need to edit content in php files in Contribute CS3, just editing text and adding images etc. Every time they try to edit a page they just get a grey screen with the words 'headerMenu', which happens to be the page title of a file that is included using the php include command. They cannot edit anything on the page. I have checked the admin options and they are allowed to edit scripts etc..
Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Thanks,

Hi imadb,
Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
If you want to evaluate Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.

Unable to edit audio file in Logic Pro

I am putting together some apple loop samples in LP 8, just some simple rhythm stuff-
I have a sample that I want to edit in the sample editor window, but I get the message:
"This audio file cannot be changed!
Volume or file is locked"
My editing choices are greyed out.
I went back to the source files to look at the permissions there-(eg, are they read only, or read and write).
In almost all cases they WERE read only, but even when I changed permissions, still got the same error message.
Also, it seems strange that the apple loops would be read only in the FIRST place- To think that I would need to change permissions at the source file of every sample I wanted to edit-each time i worked with a sample....!!! i mean that just doesn't make sense, right?!?!?
Any ideas?
BTW- I opened the same sample audio files in soundtrack pro and was able to edit them fine as I normally would (no messing with permissions, etc etc)
thank You.....

The thing with the Apple Loops is that since editing in the sample editor is destructive... if you did something to an apple loop that was used in other songs all those songs would now have that altered loop.
So for the apple loops you have to save it as a new file before you can edit it.
As far as the other files, just a guess here, but maybe since Logic was already looking at the file before the permissions were changed it remembers the state of permissions when it opened it.
It makes sense that your permissions need to be read-write because the sample editor changes the file as it performs its actions.

Such does not exist; at least not from Adobe.
As has been asked - What, specifically, was subscribed to? It is identified on the receipt Adobe provides for each subscription account one opens.
