Using "Mail document" from within Preview

I noticed that when in Preview if I attempt to use the "Mail document" function under the "File" menu the Preview document does not get attached to the new Mail document. To enable this function I must go to the print menu, scroll down to "Mail document" and, voila, the Preview document now appears in the Mail message panel.
I suspect a bug here. Have others experienced this?
(This happens on the G5; I haven't tried on the MacBook Pro.)

The "Mail Document" option in preview works fine for me...dunno what the problem could be, but perhaps if you removed the preferences file for preview from your "~/Library/Preferences/" folder, that might help resolve it. Faulty preferences files are causing folks a lot of application misbehaviors.

Has anyone been having issues using tags? Adding tags to PDF's from within Preview results in a delays

When adding tags to documents from within the document using the menu, after typing a few letters and then selecting a tag it then resets and you have to go back to the beginning. This is especially annoying when trying to edit a large number of documents quickly.
It seems you have to wait up to 5 secs after typing a tag before trying to add it again. The problem appears to be some system wide delay in editing the tag into the file.
I checked the problem against my new MacBook Air and it occurs there as wel.
Anyone else come across this?

Hi VikingOSX,
The method you described is the current way I am doing it, my apologies I probably wasn't clear enough.
The tagging works, but the issue is that as I start to edit in the tag area, after choosing a tag(s) it resets to blank after a couple of seconds and I have to tag again. After the second time the tags stay there and I can save the document.
The tags I am choosing are from existing tags and it doesn't matter whether I click on them from the list or start typing a few characters and they appear, the problem is the same. It might seem trivial, but I regularly scan in a large number of documents and then edit their name and tags from the Preview title bar.
I would be interested if you can recreate the issue yourself, I have it on two different Mac computers so thought it was something that was a bug in Mavericks.

Mail Merge From Within Professional 8

Hi,
Is there any function in Professional 8 similar to Word's Mail Merge? I work for a company that has a need to "stamp" unique copy numbers on certain documents. Here's what we presently do:
We have a Word file of a testing procedure (we have a number of different testing procedures), and we receive a request for x number of controlled copies so that the analysts in the labs can conduct testing. An example of the number for the first controlled copy for this year would be: TD125-09-0001 (TD=Testing Document, 125=the main document number (which never changes, we have about 130 of these documents), 09=the year, and 0001=unique controlled copy number. So we would issue TD125-09-0001, TD125-09-0002, TD125-09-0003, TD125-09-0004 and so on depending on a given request.
Now the problem: We are going to be switching to an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) in which the documents, when printed from within the EDMS system will print with the EDMS Headers and Footers, and therefore cannot be brought outside of the system.
My workaround was to print out the Testing Document from within EDMS, therefore it will print with all the appropriate Headers and Footers that the system generates upon printing...then scan the document as a PDF to use as a template, and apply the controlled copy numbers to the PDF version. The only problem is that Acrobat doesn't seem to have functionality similar to Word's Mail Merge....the beauty of which is you choose which "recipients" you would like to merge, and regardless of the length of the document, it will imprint the same number on every page, print another copy with the next sequential number, etc. I've looked around in the Professional 8 application and the closest I've come is forms, but then you have no functionality to generate sequential copy numbers except to do each one manually.
Does anyone know of a plug-in or scripting that will mimic the functionality of Mail Merge but from within Adobe?
Much Appreciation In Advance!,
Paul

Hi Rick
To explain in brief, the main master table (OCRD) is replicated in fields in the audit trail table (ACRD). A few additional fields are available in the ACRD such as Instance which is a numeric incremental number for each update to a master. Instance 1 is of course the Add action when it is created. Therefore you can pull the information of the BP straight from the ACRD table without having to join and using the MAX number of Instance to get the latest "snapshot" of the master. Then there are fields such as update date and time which can be used to determine if any records have been updated in say the last 5 minutes for example.
Another suggestion would be to add an activity to the BP rather for each letter that must be created, as this will give you history of each letter that was sent. What can work quite nicely will be to change the layout of the activity to be some letter format and then possibly save this to PDF or print to a Document generator printer as a TIFF file and then attach these back to the activity. From the activity you could also fax, email or print the letter.
The above scenarios are just a suggestion, and I guess a way of trying to impress on you that SAP Business One is still a good choice, despite a few shortcomings. The important thing to remember with SAP Business One is it's flexibility in terms of User Defined Fields, Formatted Searches, SDK, UDO's, DI API, etc. which can in many cases overcome functional gaps. The best advise is to consider how big the gap is and what it will cost to fill it in terms of project time line and cost.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Dictionary Contextual Menu Bug from within Preview or Skim

Seems like there is a bug with the way 10.5 handles pdf's and the contextual dictionary menu item. Highlighting a word and selecting the 'Lookup in Dictionary' contextual menu item seems to be unreliable at best. Most of the time, this feature refuses to work in either Preview.app or Skim. Any ideas? BTW i currently use Dictionary with both the standard Oxford dictionary and Wikipedia functions.

The "Mail Document" option in preview works fine for me...dunno what the problem could be, but perhaps if you removed the preferences file for preview from your "~/Library/Preferences/" folder, that might help resolve it.

Using "XML Document from XML Schema" in JDeveloper

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to generate XML Document from XML Schema.
For this I have used "XML Document from XML Schema" feature in JDeveloper. It is found in File->New->General->XML Document form XML Schema.
I have registered a schema with jdev and got an XML document output for that successfully.
Now, I want to implement this feature in my code for generating XML documents when XSD files are provided.
Can any one please provide me with pointers to do that? I am sure there should be some libraries which can implement this feature.
Thanks,
Dilbagh

Create an XML document from a Schema with the Oracle SchemaClassGenerator.
import oracle.xml.classgen.SchemaClassGenerator;
XMLSchema schema=new XMLSchema();
XSDBuilder builder = new XSDBuilder();
URL url = new URL(schemaUrl);
schema = (XMLSchema)builder.build(url);
SchemaClassGenerator generator = new SchemaClassGenerator();
Generate the Java classes from the example XML Schema.
generator.generate(schema);With the java classes construct an XML document.

Open documents from within

I was a moderate user of FInal Cut Studio, but I am completely new to anything concerning Final Cut X. My apology in advance if this is obvious.
I am trying to open someone's FCS X project file on their machine, with .fcpproject extension. I double click it, but the dialog box says "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro". Now in FCP X, there is no File > Open option under the file menu.
Any ideas for a complete newbie?

There is a tut currently floating around the Web titled something like Learn Final Cut in 30 minutes.
It's quite possible to FUBR projects by trial and error approaches because the app is so database driven.
My 2¢…spend a little time getting some info on organization, terminology, and workflow. Whether it's the tut I mentioned or not, It will not take long and it really will be a worthwhile investment.
Good luck.

E-mail document from Microsoft Word 2003

I am not able to compose a document in Microsoft Word 2003 and e-mail it from there. The format is available and so is the send button. The message is just not sent.

I now use Verizon wireless rather than cable. Do you think the problem may be with Verizon?
Nope. There would be no difference there.
Do you have Outlook 2003 as well as Word 2003?
Do you use it or Windows Mail for your email?
Whichever it is, set that as the default. See this Microsoft page.
Change which programs Windows uses by default

Using Mail files from OSX10.4 with Mail on a OSX10.3 Mac

Disk died on my OSX 10.4 Mac but I have everything on backup. The Mail program on my other Mac is running under OSX 10.3 (it's a G3 Mac). I can put the mailboxes etc into the library/mail/ directory but the files do not open with the older Mail application. Is there a way to "bring out" the mail messages from the bundled format of 10.4 so that I can access my mail records until I get a new drive on the 10.4 Mac?

The mailbox format used by Mail changed drastically in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Mail 2.x knows about the old format and can import or convert in place mailboxes created by Mail 1.x, but Mail 1.x obviously knows nothing about the new format used by Mail 2.x. Actually, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x mailboxes is broken and Mail 2.x sometimes can only import Mail 1.x mailboxes as Other, but that’s another story...
Mail’s mailboxes are located in ~/Library/Mail/. Although .mbox packages appear to be files in Mac OS X 10.3, they’re actually folders just like in Mac OS X 10.4. Ctrl-click on an .mbox package and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu to see the files it contains.
For each mailbox, Mail 1.x stores all the messages in a single file in standard mbox format (the mbox file within the .mbox folder/package), whereas Mail 2.x stores messages in individual .emlx files within a Messages folder that Mail 1.x knows nothing about.
You’d need something like emlx to mbox Converter or Emailchemy to convert the .emlx files to standard mbox format in order to be able to import them (as Other / Standard mbox) in Mail 1.x.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Referencing a DMS document from within BI

Hello,
I am trying to determine how to reference a document in DMS (where it is stored on a Content Server) from within a Crystal Report on BI.
I believe that the answer involves installing the DMS Connector on the Portal.

I'm not expert in this area, but I don't understand why you try to read directly the cache as by definition, a cache is managed by the application itself. Why don't you read the document as usually, and let the system read the cache by itself?

Re-use message mapping from within java mapping?

Hi there,
I have a question regarding java mapping. What I would like to do is to re-use an existing message mapping from within java mapping.
Technicaly, message mapping is perfomed by com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.execute, right? I would like to call that mapping program for a specifc message mapping from within my java mapping.
Pseudo java code would look like this:
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
throws StreamTransformationException {
com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.AMappingProgram.execute(in,out,'SomeMessageMapping');
SomeMessageMapping is a message mapping that is defined in the integration repository.
Is it possible? If so, could you provide me with some details?
Thank you and best regards,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
very interesting idea?
I would activa a dummy message mapping. than I would have a look in the file directory of the java-stack and try to find out the name of the *.class or *.jar file.
On the other hand you could generate a tpz-transport-file an unpack this file, to explore the name of the *.class or *.jar
Unfortunately I do not have access to the file system. So I can't explore the name.

Cannot open iwork documents from within the iwork program

I am running OSX Mountain Lion on an imac 3.06 GHz core duo. Everything is uptodate. I have documents from Numbers, Pages and Keynote stored on icloud. I can see them when I go to icloud.com. When I try to open them from within any of the iwork programs, all I can see is greyed out document icons.

Hello
It seems that Pages is coded to save an imported file (which is the case for a .doc one) in the folder from which it was imported.
When the folder belongs to a CD, this can't be done and Pages refuses to import the doc.
I's not a bug, it's a feature.
Delberate or not is an other question.
If this feature is annoying from your point of you, described the problem to the official channel because here we are users trying to help other users.
We are not members of the Pages team.
So, *go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Pages" menu* and describe what you wish.

How to use dbms_Scheduler.Create_Job from within stored procedure?

Hello,
using 10g (10.1.0.2.0) on Windows 2000 I had problems to create scheduler jobs from within a stored procedure (see example below). What easily succeeds using anonymous blocks failed when calling from a stored procedure, due to ORA-27486. Only when I compile the procedure with invoker's rights the call to dbms_Job.Create_Job is successfull!? From my knowledge there is no difference between invoker's and definer's rights, if I compile and call with the same user, is there?
Does anyone know the reason for this behaviour or is it simply a bug?
Have a nice day.

commit;
end;
exec sched1; -- This call fails with ORA-27486.
exec sched2; -- This call succeeds!
/* Cleanup.
exec dbms_scheduler.drop_job('TEST_JOB1', true);
exec dbms_scheduler.drop_job('TEST_JOB2', true);
drop table t;
*/

Your example code ran without problems for me on 10.1.0.3.0 so it probably is a bug.

Address book access from within Preview

Using a Canon MF4350d I have been unable to access Contacts/Address Book from Preview when faxing.
I can add a single destination, but I can't save it. So each time I fax I must do that.
I can access Contacts from Word, Evernote, Firefox, MoneyDance, Mail, Contacts and Safari, but not from Preview, TextEdit, or Chrome.
Though in all likelihood, it's just Preview I'd ever fax from and want the Contacts.
Any ideas?

I can enter a destination and fax from both, just can't access Contacts/Address Book.
Judging from my email exchange with Canon US, they say it's an Apple issue. blah, blah, blah.
I would think that there is an Apple API for those apps that for some reason Canon didn't bother with.
I tossed Reader some time ago for Preview. Other than this issue, Preview is better for my purposes, (and as you probably know, integrates with other apps like Safari rather well) and doesn't require updates every month.
thanks though.

Having problems using mail merge from address book to word for labels

I've downloaded and opened avery labels to word and would now like to merge an address book from my mac.
When I get to the Mail Merge Manager and go to 'get list', my address book is not accessible.
I'm sure there's a simple way to do this but have not been successful googling or using the help options on both
pages and address book.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi shaun
Looks like Pages '08 works the same as the previous version. You can't get data from multiple cards in one document. Try using Address Book's native label printing feature.
Good luck!
