Use a Excel template when saving a csv export

Hi!
I wonder if it is possible to use an excel template when export data from a report to excel? If so, is there anyone who have an example how to do this?
Regards

Hi Ulf,
CSV is a generic standard for exchanging tabular data in flat files.
You can not pass any processing instructions through CSV, for formatting or dynamic behavior in Excel.
SYLK is a text-based interchange format for spreadsheets; it supports formulas, borders, fonts, point sizes, etc. SYLK is supported by Excel and other spreadsheet packages. SYLK is the RTF of spreadsheets. The problem with SYLK is that it is not well documented.
Maybe you need to look after a license of Oracle BI Publisher for your Apex environment to do more sophisticated publishing.
I have no experience with that.

How do I use my own templates when saving DITA map as FM 11 book w/ components?

I have updated the ditafm-output.ini file in the following places:
[BookWithFM-Chapter]
[BookWithFM-TOC]
[BookWithFM-Index]
[BookWithFM-ListofFigures]
[BookWithFM-ListofTables]
[BookWithFM-BookTitle]
In each I used the following information for my Template file path:
Template=$STRUCTDIR\xml\DITA_1.2\app\technicalContent\template\Book_Templates\templateChap ter.fm
However, when I saved my DITA map as a FM 11 book with components, it still used the standard DITA templates, rather than my own templates.
What am I doing wrong?

The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer
Many thanks. Rather than the Apple document, I currently recommend using the instructions from the following user tip with that one:

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-Danny

Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?

Using BIPublisher excel template in ADF application

Hi everyone,
Like the subject, I want to export excel reports from an **excel template** within ADF application. After searching around, I found **ExcelProcessor** class seem to be able to do the job, but it got no docs. And forums like this don't have much information. So I wonder if this job can be done smoothly using supported class, or we have to use another solution, like create a RTF template and use it instead?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
VnMa

Hi Puthanampatti ,
RTF is fine. But it don't have features that excel format support: the multi-sheets reports, freeze cell ability, formulas, comments... Just thinking it's really great if we can use an excel template directly.

Hi,
Check to see whether the user you logged on to the system has the permission to the file.
Also, check to see whether the following link is helpful:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271513
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
And, based on my research, hang when saving the file also maybe caused by a printer installation.

Using Fields from PDF when saving

Im looking on how to use fields in a pdf form when saving the form.
ex. Incident Report
Staff open up the form. Put in the information. Want it so when they save it puts the clients name and date in the save as. So they open Incident_Report.pdf when they save it would be Incident_Report_ClientsName_Date.pdf Yes the staff could type that in that way but want to make it as easy for everyone involved.

So let's say you have the following fields in your file:
Incident_Report
ClientsName
Date
You can then add this code to the file's WillSave action (under Tools - JavaScript - Set Document Actions):
var newFileName = this.getField("Incident_Report").valueAsString + "_" + this.getField("ClientsName").valueAsString + "_" + this.getField("Date").valueAsString + ".pdf";
app.response("Please copy the text below and use it as the new file-name:","", newFileName)
Of course, you can adjust the message to the user, and even the format of the file-name, although I've used the format you specified.

Use of Excel Addin when MDS is using https

We have set up MDS with a secure connection using https and a certificate for SSL connection, bound to the default site for MDS. When we try and use the Excel addin, it throws an error : Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel
with authority {server root address}
Can anyone help?

Does web ui works from the same machine excel is running?
When you connect to the WebUI, the browser will show a smart icon in the address bar for certificate. If you open it, does it say the certificate is valid?
1. The certificate should be valid. If it is self signed certificate, you need add this certificate to Trusted Root.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754841.aspx
2. The certificate name should match the service name.
If the webUI works on that machine without any warning in browser, the excel addin should work with the exact same server url.

Change the default HTML template when saving for web

Hi,
Is there a way to change the default HTML output template when you go to "Save for web" and select "HTML & Images"? I would like to modify the default HTML <head> tag.
Thanks.

Two observations.
First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click ... Save Image As.
The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:
The context menu,from a right-click with the TouchUp Object tool selected, for Acrobat 9 Pro is:

Excel Hangs when saving a file

Hi
When saving a file (CTRL+S) excel hangs, no error or anything.
This happens on Windows 8 PRO, on Win7 no problem at all.
Tried on EXCEL 2010 and EXCEL 2013 Customer Preview.
Checking the file after the app crash shows no file exists however 2 files exist instead:
*.TMP file
*.[NOTHING] file
The *.TMP is the new file i just saved, if I change it to *.XLSX it works fine, no curroption.
This was done saving on DESKTOP.
Since file was saved I assumed there is some kind of permission error so I changed the directory permission for "C:\Users\MYUSER\DESKTOP" to "EVERYONE".
With this setup excel saves without a problem....
I guess EXCEL tries to save under a different user which has no permission but why no error?
Any ideas?

When is it important to use "recompress all frames" (when saving)?

When is it important to use / check the box "recompress all frames" (when saving as quicktime movie)? And why?

If you've rendered a sequence and want it to re-render the video into the same codec as the sequence. You almost never need to do it.

How can split data into multiple sheets using an excel template

Hi all,
I'm using BIP 10.1.3.4.1 upgrated with the latest rollup patch, 9546699.
I followed the example inside the article "Real Excel Templates 1.5" (on the Tim Dexter's blog)
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2010/05/real_excel_templates_i.html
and I built my report directly from an excel template containing only one sheet (plus the XDO_METADATA sheet), and for one sheet it worked fine !!!
Now I need to add more sheets to the template.... and I have two big questions:
1. if I need to create a second sheet which contains almost the same data (with a different layout), I saw that it is not possible to map a value to more than 1 cell....so if I map a value in the first sheet, I can't map it in the second sheet (because it's already used in the first one).
How can I map same values into two or different execll
2. if I need to create a second sheet which contains another dataset (completely different from the dataset in the first sheet), I can I do, considering that every BIP report is based on ONLY a data source.
Tim wrote: The most impressive, for me at least, is the sheet 'bursting'. You can split your hierarchical data across multiple sheets and dynamically name those sheets
but I didn't yet understand how this bursting it's possible.....considering what I said above.....
Surely I've a lack of knowledge.....but anybody can help me to understanding the "multiple excel sheets" black hole ?
I'll appreciate any kind of help
Thanks in advance

Lightroom not updating when saved from Photoshop export

I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 x64, and had to reload both my Lightroom and CS4, and have just run into this issue when I export from Lightroom to Photoshop. It used to work fine (with my previous installation in XP x64) that when I hit Ctrl+S in Photoshop it would immediately update the view of the file in LR. This was extremely useful since i run two 24" calibrated LCDs, then I could immediately see in the lR monitor (usually at 50-100% zoom) if I liked my local adjustments (that are always zoomed to 300%+) in Photoshop wihtout having to change zoom level in Photoshop. Now to get LR to show any Photoshop update after a Ctrl+S, I have to click back into LR and then move forward and backward (I use arrow keys) between images to get LR to update the display. Any reason this would now be happening, is there some setting in LR to get it to detect the file save and change from Photoshop.
Any help or ideas appreciated, this is killing my edit time and frustration level!

I totally forgot about this issue. You have to actually go set the Photoshop.exe file to be your second editor in LR preferences and then it will complain about PS being already setup, you select 'Use Anyway' and then when you right-click in LR and choose 'Edit In' select the 2ndary Photoshop editor you just setup and it will bring up the dialog about what settings to use for the image and then dump it into PS. After that as you Ctrl+S in PS it will auto-update the display in LR.
Self-Solved... hope this helps someone!

How to use auto fit selection when downloading to csv file

hi,
I am working on reports, i need to download to a .csv file. I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD is there any option for it where text fits exactly in a single cell.
For Eg:
I excel there is an option (Format-column-Autofitselection).
Then the column size increases or decreased according to the text size.

Dear Josephine,
There is no option the way you want of autofit. Rather while opening the CSV in excel u can do the required formatting.

What are the best font and settings to use in a psd when saving, noticed some jpgs (hires) still dont pick up all the words used., What are the best font and settings to use in a psd when saving, noticed some jpgs (hires) still dont pick up all the words

Just to elaborate on the question, i have a number of adverts designed in photoshop and saved as hi resolution jpgs however when opening them in acrobat and using OCR i noticed that either none of the text is picked up or partially picked up. are there fonts that are better or settings for the fonts that would make the recognition better and more reliable.
Thanks

tried that today, was a little better, somewhere around 40% words get picked up although sometimes far less or none. tried so many settings, i think its just one of those things, its not really designed to handle all that well.

Updating of paths in templates when saving file

HI,
I am using CS3 and I have a person using ver 8.
In a template I have some paths for include files. These are
not in editable regions. My templates are in a template folder.
When I go to create a new page from a template and save it in
another folder the paths are modified appropriately to reflect
where the file is now located.
However when the person using ver 8 creates a new file from
the template and saves the file in a different folder, Dreamweaver
is not updating the path at all. It still reference everything as
in the template folder. Since the path statements are not in the
editable region these cannot be fixed. I have checked to make sure
that the ver 8 person's site set up is correct so that files are
referenced from the root and not a file.
Is this a problem because they are using ver 8?

> Is this a problem because they are using ver 8?
Shouldn't be. But you can work around this by always using a
root relative
link to the include files.
