Viewing pdf's, Word documents, etc.

I'm new to Mac, so I might be missing the obvious. The scene thus set, I use an application which automatically produces reports in pdf format - these reports are numerous. So, all I want to do is view the files ... I don't want them downloaded to the desktop, but I can't figure out how to stop the downloads. As a result at the end of the day I have a desktop full of reports that I don't need and have to trash. It's annoying.
So, how can I view files without downloading a copy to the desktop?
Cheers
Doug

Safari & Firefox ... yup, plugins are there. I've been using the website application (Java front end on Oracle database) for about 4 years with Windows. While I'm very happy about the switch to Mac, the pdf's never downloaded in the Windows platform ... just opened Acrobat and displayed the report. The behaviour is different on the Mac (not surprising). But in this case, I can end the day with well over 100 pdf's cluttering the desktop ... it's annoying.

Just so I get the first part correct - this is what I understand you to want to do:Add column to Access db, say something like 'FILE_LINK'Have a field on your report that displays the value of the FILE_LINK data for either PDF or DOC's. To do this:Populate the Access db as you'd like, including the file extension.Add the database field to the report.Right-click the field and 'Format Field'.Select the 'A File' radio button.Select the Hyperlink tab.Select the 'X-2' button in the 'Hyperlink Information' area of that same tabbed window.Enter a formula for what you want to be shown. To show 'somefilename.pdf' on a shared drive, for example, enter this formula:"
x\" & {database.column}Click the 'X-2' icon with the green checkmark, near the top-left of the window. Fix any errors reported.Click 'Save & Close' and then 'Ok' on the 'Format Editor' window.Drop/drag the field where you'd like it and you should be good to go.

Transfer pdf or word documents to ipad from macbook

how can i transfer pdf and words documents of my iMac to an ipad 2

Many options, depending on what you want to do with them.
mail them to yourself
use iTunes
use the desktop transfer programs that go along with Office Suite apps (i.e. Documents to Go, Quickoffice, etc)
use Goodreader (a PDF/document reader as well as a file transfer and management app)
use a cloud storage app (such as Dropbox or Sugarsync).
If you want to edit the documents, you'll need an app that can do so. If you just want to read them, you have more options.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard Question - Converting PDF to word document

Question: I currently have Adobe Acrobat 8. I need to convert a PDF to word document. I know how to do that but the outcome of the word document sometimes varies as to retaining the exact formatting. How can I retain exact formatting? Is there something that I'm not doing that I need to be doing in order to retain the formatting. Also do newer versions (Adobe Acrobat 11 (Standard or Pro?)) do a better job of converting and retaining formatting?

Retaining the exact formatting is not possible in practice or in theory because Word documents are nothing like PDFs. For example, Word will cheerfully reflow text onto new lines or pages, while this will never happen with a PDF.
That said, Adobe keep trying to get closer to what people need. Sometimes this results in complex parts of the file being made into an uneditable graphic or text box.
Bottom line is you can get the basics into Word and then (according to your time, experience, and the abilities of Word) you might be able to reconstruct.
On no account convert official forms to Word.

Hi Sara
From the document
        When I try the file save as other, nothing happens after I click on Word or Excel Online.
        There is no way I can click on the convert button on Export PDF.
        I am logged in as you can see.
        When I go to Cloud Acrobat I can see the file there but only as a PDF.
        There is no word document there.
        As you can see I have tried this more than once.
I just don’t know what to do from there.
Hope you can help
Many thanks

Storing PDF and Word document in oracle database

any idea, how to store PDF and word document using oracle database.
thanks

The common approach is store as BLOB in database, use DBMS_LOB package to handle the loading and reading, sample script source asktom
Also check this thread in Asktom
SQL> create table demo
2 ( id        INT PRIMARY KEY,
3    theBlob   blob,
4    dummy_col VARCHAR2(1)
5 )
6 /
Table created.
SQL> -- --------------------------------------------------------------
SQL> -- Load a PDF file into a BLOB field and compress the BLOB.
SQL> -- --------------------------------------------------------------
SQL> declare
2      l_blob    blob;
3      l_bfile   bfile;
4
5 begin
6      insert into demo (id, theBLOB) values ( 1, empty_blob() )
7      returning theBlob into l_blob;

9      l_bfile := bfilename( 'BLOB_DIR', 'Test.PDF' );
10      dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile );
11
12      dbms_lob.loadfromfile( l_blob,
13                             l_bfile,
14                             dbms_lob.getlength( l_bfile ) );
15
16      UPDATE demo
17      SET    theBlob = utl_compress.lz_compress(l_blob, 6)
18      WHERE id = 1;
19 -- If you don't want compress the LOB just update directly
20      dbms_lob.fileclose( l_bfile );

Displaying PDF and Word Document

Hi,
I have used the methods to display HTML :
1. Link to Action and the IFrame -> The Result was the html file I was able to display in the same window.
2. Link to URL -> The Result was html file opened in different window.
3.IFrame and attaching the file in project -> it was resulted in html file getting dispalyed in IFrame.
Now if I want to extend the functionality for PDF or word document, is the procedure same or different
Can anyone enlighten me on this
Any thoughts on this.
Thanks in Advance
Srikant

Hi srikant,
You can also display word documents and pdf by uploading it in the server.
For this you'll have to create aliases in the server for the corressponding documents that you want to uploaad.
Go to visual admin ->services->httpprovider.
Then click the tab 'aliases'. Here you can give the name of your alias and also the document to which the alias should point(first upload the document to the server machine and then give the path here ) .
Now when you type http://server:port/aliasname your document will open in the browser. You can display it either through your iFrame or linktourl as you prefer.
Hope my effort will help you.
Regards,
Rahul.

You are on the Illustrator forum how does this relte to illustrator?
Are you ceating artwork in Illustrator and then inserting it into Word?
This is what I suggest Visit the Acrobat Forum or a Microsoft Word forum if there is one and ask there.
Or you can purchase ID or Illustrator and use them to create your letterhead.

Hot to display PDF and Word documents as an attachment in OBIEE Reports

Hi,
From few of Oracle threads I learnt that we can store the files in a server locaiton and read it thro a URL. What I am trying to do is, PDF or Word document will be stored in database as BLOB fields. This BLOB field needs to be come as an attachment in OBIEE Reports and by clicking that icon, it uses the local applicaiton PDF reader or a word applicaiton and open the attachment, just like how we open an attachment from a E-mail. Can you please help me with the possible methods of that. I can provide you more information incase if you need.
Thanks
Augesthi

As long as you used the paper-clip Attach icon, that should be fine.
The entire document appears to you because your Mac recognizes the document type, and displays it for you, saving you from having to mouse around and find a Reader for it. You can still use the Save icon to save a copy of only the attachment.
To avoid problems with other email readers, be sure the checkbox [√] send windows-friendly attachments is checked.
I addition, some email readers cannot cope with any attachments positioned at any place in the document other than at the very end. So make sure you move the cursor to the absolute end of the document before clicking "Attach".
If all else fails, send an email that says, "attachment to follow", then send the attachment right away in a separate email, with nothing else in the body of the message. Some use the Subject abbreviation (nt) to indicate "no text", that is, no words typed in the message portion.

Urgent Help Regarding PDF and Word Document Downloading

Many Thanks Shaik for you humble help. Actually now what I did in the past 3 days,
I used Oracle Intermedia to store my PDF and Word Documents in the database using Oracle SQL Loader. Then I used PL/SQL Server Pages and Oracle Web Toolkit for the downloading of my documents.
Now the problem is I saved all my formatted documents in the databse and for retrieval I am using following code in my stored procedure
* Select BLOB Data
select blob_data into myblob from mytable where blob_name = name;
Setup headers which describes the content
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.get_length(myblob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
Initiate Direct BLOB download
wpg_docload.download_file(myblob);
end;
The structure of the mytable table:
create table mytable
doc_id varchar2(128),
doc_name varchar2(128),
blob_data blob
But when it prompt the client to download the file actually it gives the junk file name like 'B104ea56' (which i understand is the address of the blob address). What I want is to show the "SAVE AS" download box with the proper document name which is stored in my field in the following way
1 SALES.PDF
2 PLANNING.PDF
3 MANUAL.DOC
4 STANDARD.TXT
If I set the MIME type for the file format than it automatically starts download the file to the client browser, that I do not want, It should ask the user to download with the proper document name.
Waiting consiously for your help
Regards

Presumedly you'd like those documents being accessiable by users as well, so they should be put on a web server, ftp or nfs sharing. You can just add the urls to those documents, or the directory they are in, into robot system as starting points and let robot run to collect them.

In the email you want to print, on the top right there is an arrow. Click that and an option should appear that says print. That should work. Have you already tried that?
