Unable to place docx documents

no problem if i save the document as a doc. but since upgrading to office 2008 for mac i cannot place the docx documents. what is the fix??

Filter Read Me.pdf that installs with the Adobe InDesign CS3 does not list Word 2008 (latest Mac version) as a supported import format. .docx from Word 2007 (latest Windows version) is supported.
As you own Office 2008 you can save as .RTF or other supported format and import that version of the Word document instead.
For others who might still be on Office 2004: If you require access to the content of a .docx file, you can try downloading the Microsoft Open Office XML File Format Converter for Mac 0.2.1 from www.microsoft.com

Pages can't open docx documents from Dropbox

I am new to MacBook Air and Pages having just moved from a PC. I have an ipad2 and iphone and create documents on Quickoffice Pro HD and store them in Dropbox. I have been unable to open any .docx documents on my MBA. I have tried opening Pages first and selecting Dropbox from the application. I seem to be able to open .doc documents but saving them back to Dropbox is awkward and they don't end up in the right folders. Other than installing Microsoft Word on my Mac, what can I do to make this work better? I was under the mistaken understanding that Pages played better with MSWord. Is there an app like Quickoffice Pro for the Mac?

Pages opens MsWord doc files but you need to Export files back.
Pages will save where you want it to, it is not an issue with the application.
Try LibreOffice [free] which is available on most OSes, as an alternative to MsOffice. There is also an Office for Mac if you want the greatest degree of compatibility.

Unable to place Photoshop psd file in Illustrator CS3

Hi,
Can someone help please???
I am unable to place a Photoshop PSD file in Illustrator and be able to print the document correctly. The Illustrator file is saved as a ai file, both the document & PSD file are CMYK.
On screen the document looks fine but as soon as I have printed the document, some of file has not printed.
Do I need to have the Illustrator file as a eps file?
I used to use an old Photoshop version that had a Export Image option, which was great for something like this, but CS3 doesn't have this option.
Has anybody got any ideas what I am doing wrong?

This seems to be an Illy problem, not Photoshop. You might want to check
with the gurus there, but perhaps a few details, like what printer
you're using and a few screenshots might help.

OPM - Unable to compile Excel documents

Hi,
I get the error "Unable to compile the document '<file location>' because it does not contain the Oracle Policy Modeling macros" everytime I compile an Excel document and Oracle Policy Modeling add-in is not present in Excel even when I open the file through project explorer. OPM shows the following error: "An error occurred while opening the document '<file location>': Unable to set the Installed property of the AddIn class". Please help me with this.
Thanks,
Naveen
Edited by: Naveen Mathew on Aug 20, 2012 5:39 AM

I found this in another link showing where to check that Oracle Policy Modeling Add-in is available.
For Office 2003 I found the add-Ins under Tools-Add-Ins
Take a look at the Installation Guide for Oracle Policy Modeling 10.3.1. There is a topic at the bottom that has some steps that might be relevant for your situation. For convenience I've copied some of the details:
The following is a possible workaround that will enable you to manually activate the Oracle Policy
Modeling AddIn for Excel:
1) Open the Excel document outside Oracle Policy Modeling.
2) Select Excel Options from the Office Menu (circle at top left). Select Add-Ins, then find
Manage: Excel Add-Ins, and click on Go...
3) Place a tick in the Oracle Policy Modeling Excel 2007 check box (if it is already ticked, try unticking,
clicking OK, and ticking it again).
4) Click on the OK button.
5) Try opening the workbook again in Oracle Policy Modeling.
If the Oracle Policy Modeling AddIn for Excel does not appear in step 3, you should be able to locate
it in the templates directory of the Oracle Policy Modeling installation. The default location is:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Policy Modeling\templates\Oracle Policy Modeling Excel 2007.xlam

Can't open Word 2007 (.docx) document on my Mac

I have Microsoft Office 2003 (which I purchased) on my Mac. I am unable to open a document that was emailed to me - it is a .docx file (Word 2007 on a PC). What is going on? Is there an update/download I need? I called Apple Support and they were totally stumped. What have those idiots at Microsoft done now? Are you telling me a document created in Word 2007 can't be opened in Word 2003? That is absurd. Is there even an update for Mac users who use Office 2003?

Please search the discussions before posting, as this question has been asked and answered many times already, and you could have answered your own question and saved you the time of waiting for a response.
Until Microsoft releases the file converters for Office 2004, you'll need to tell whoever saved the file to re-save it in an Office 2003 or older format.

When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It

When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

PDF: Unable to print a document as PDF from APEX when using the BI Publishe

Hi,
From an APEX application, I am unable to print a document in a PDF format when using the Oracle BI Publisher.\
Here is the configuration:
1) Server A is W2K3 and hosts the Oracle BI Publisher server, with IP address ip01.
2) Server B is a OEL5.2 and hosts the database server of the APEX application, with IP address ip02.
3) Machine C is a W7 desktop from which through an URL both the APEX applicationn and the BI server are accessed, with IP address ip03.
4) The APEX application is configured with the following to use the Oracle BI Publisher:
- Printer server: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
- Printer server protocol: HTTP
- Printer server host address: ip01
- Printer server port: 9704
- Printer server script: /xmlpserver/convert
- Network services are enabled (at least I did get any warning/error message)
From C, I access the the APEX application through its URL, if I try to download a page by selecting PDF in the download section of the interative report section for that page, I am unable to open if and get the error:
<file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Yet, still from C, I am able to open any other PDF document.
The same way, still from C, acessing the APEX application through its URL, I have a query report defined with a PDF output format. Then, when I test the report (Test Report in the Report query) for that query, I get the error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
At first sight this could be a wong entry in the priinter configuration for APEX. But with this address, through the URL I can log in to the Oracle BI Publisher server.
Does someone has an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for any tips.

How are you trying to print to pdf?
Don't go via PostScript or Acrobat Distiller, which are old deprecated technology.
You use:
Menu > File > Print > PDF (button bottom left) > Save as PDF…

The document information panel was unable to load. the document will continue to open. For more information, contact your system adminsitrator.

Hi Guys,
I am creating the library using object model with custom content type. When i am opening document from custom content type, the meta data fields are not displaying in the document and throwing below error.
The document information panel was unable to load. the document will continue to open. For more information, contact your system adminsitrator.

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest to do as follows:
1. Please try to update the Location column's schema by following the steps below.
1) Go to Site Settings -> "Site Columns"
2) Click on "Location", after the page is opened. Don't modify any settings, click "OK" to forcibly update the field's schema.
2. Re-edit the document information panel template to see if the issue still occurs.
Please go to the Library setting > click the corresponding content type(need to enable managed of content types in Advanced settings) > click Document Information Panel settings.
3. Here are some similar links about your issue, please take some time to look at them:

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

Whenever I try to open a certain document on Microsoft word it keeps saying it is unable to find the document. How do I find it?

I typed a 10 page paper. And when I went to submit it to my class online the document was grey and it had no information and it wouldn't let me open it; like it was corrupted. When I do click on it, it says that Microsoft Word is unable to find my document.
When I click would you like to locate it yourself, it brings me to all my documents but it is no where to be found on my computer. How do I retrieve it?

Hi Jessica,
From where did you open the file for editing originally? Have you saved it properly before you submit it?
As Paul mentioned above, in some cases, corrupted documents are rarely recoverable. Do you have a backup of that file? Or elaborate a little bit about your situation for further assistance.

It's recommended to download and install

Hi SidduSekhar,
Based on your description, I need to verify the things below:
Which browser did you use? Did this issue occur with all the browsers?
Is the cookie disabled in the browser? If yes, please enable it.
Did you implement security fix in the web.config, such as <httpCookies requireSSL="true" httpOnlyCookies="true" />? If yes, please set it to false in web.config.
Did you configure Alternate Access Mapping for SharePoint with a URL containing a “_” character? If yes, please remove the “_” from the URL.

APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT Error Unable to get the document

Hi,
   I am working on Oracle APEX 4.1 to send the report as an attachment through mail I am unable to get the document while calling the APEX_UTIL.get_print_document. I have created a report query and report template (rtf template) so as to send the report as an email attachment. The report works fine individually upon clicking of button so there is no issue in BI publisher configuration. I am sure there is something very trivial which I am missing out here. Any help will be appreciated.
Declare
   l_id number;
   l_document BLOB;
   l_error_msg varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
   l_document := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT
         p_application_id=>'123',
         p_report_query_name=>'Sample_Report',
         p_report_layout_name=> 'Sample_Report',
         p_report_layout_type=>'RTF',
         p_document_format=>'PDF',
         p_print_server => 'f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=Sample_Report'
   IF l_document is null
   THEN
       dbms_output.put_line( ' no report returned');
      l_error_msg:='<html> <body> <h1 > Apologies the report was not returned from the apex , as there is some printing issues </h1> </body> </html> ';
   ELSE
      l_error_msg:=null;
   END IF;
   IF l_error_msg IS NULL THEN
       l_id := APEX_MAIL.SEND(
       p_to => '[email protected]',
       p_from => '[email protected]',
       p_subj => 'APEX_MAIL with attachment',
       p_body => 'Please review the attachment.',
       p_body_html => '<b>Please</b> review the attachment' || l_error_msg);
      dbms_output.put_line(l_id);
      IF l_document is not null then
         APEX_MAIL.ADD_ATTACHMENT (
                    p_mail_id => l_id,
                    p_attachment => l_document,
                    p_filename => 'Sample_Report.pdf',
                    p_mime_type => 'application/pdf');
      END IF;
END IF;
END;
Here the output says no report returned.
Thanks & Regards
Ahmed

Try removing the parameter p_print_server from the call. This will use your default print server which should already be configured to use the BI Publisher engine.
