XSTRING to PDF - XSTRING of any file extension

Dear Experts,
I am using class: cl_hrrcf_attachments method: read_attachment to get the xstring of the file uploaded by the applicant in e-recruitment. The file can be in any format - doc, docx, pdf etc. I get the xstring of the file.
For filetype, pdf, I am using the function module SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using GUI_DOWNLOAD to get the pdf file. I have to convert all files to PDF.
I am facing the problem doing the same for .docx. Can anyone suggest how do I change xstring to pdf. Irrespective of the filetype. I am using the below code.
check lo_attach is bound.

How to set default file extension in the FileChooser?

We are trying to use the FileChooser but for some reason, it doesn't have any file extensions in the drop down menu (like in windows). Does anyone know how to put this in?
Also, how do we set the file name for the saving file, rather than typing the name in ourself?
Also, how do we position the file chooser dialog in the middle of the screen? Right now, it's in the top left corner of the screen.
Here's our piece of code, used for saving file.
FileChooser fileChooser = new FileChooser();
        File file = fileChooser.showSaveDialog(stage);
        /*User might clicked on the cancel button*/
        if (file != null) {
            try {
                Writer output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
                output.write(text);
                output.close();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                logger.error("save file error", ex);
        }Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Also, how do we set the file name for the saving file, rather than typing the name in ourself?I don't see any API for that. You could file a RFE on kenai.

Double-click any file on desktop, calling JAVA PROGRAM

hi guys,
i'm breakin my head on doin this prog....when we double click a file icon of any file extension, my another
java program should be called.
how to do this???
pls send a sample code........asap!!!!!!!!!
regards,
Sam...

If you are using windows you could probably make a file association (for all extension types) to a batch file that in turn fires off 'java YourClass params_here'
- but if you (can) do this, won't you screw up your desktop - ie doubleclicking on an .xls or .doc will never fire up Excel or Word, unless you change the file extension associations back to what they were before? This would make your pc kind of strange to use...??!!

How to configure file upload restriction by file extension?

Hi All,
I want to know if its possible to restrict the file upload for any file extensions in CM Repositories. For example, I want that the users can not upload .avi files. Can I configure that restriction?
Regards and Thanks,
Arnau Rovira

Hi,
> How can I create a repository service?
> It's like a web service?
No. A repository service is a standard pluggable service within the KM framework. Search for "repository service" on SDN for further details.
> can I copy the upload command
> from the actual repository service
The upload command is the upload command is the upload command. It is not bound to any repository service.
Yes, you can try to extract all implementation classes for the actual upload command and create a new one under a new namespace and modify the interesting parts after decompilation. But be warned: Your questions signal that you are a beginner in the KM framework, and the things described so far are more in the direction "hardcore development"...
Hope it helps nevertheless

Screenshot File Extensions Showing on Tiger Intel

I've just switched to an iMac Intel 2.8 after years using Tiger on iMac PPCs. Encountering a minor annoyance that I would like to resolve. In the past (i.e. PPC days) screenshots were always saved by name without any file extension showing. On the new Intel machine, despite having "Show file extensions" unchecked in the Finder Preferences, every screenshot has the .png file extension showing. I'm guessing I have missed something obvious to turn this off but cannot find any advice despite searching here and via Google. Would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

Try this: Click in the desktop and select Finder>Preferences>Advanced tab - deselect 'Show all filename extensions'.

CS5 requires file extensions to open files?

I receieved some image files (jpegs) from a client. For whatever reason, they did not have any file extensions on the file name (no .jpg or .jpeg) They opened perfectly fine in Preview, but Photoshop just said:
Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file
The funny thing is that, in the "Open..." dialog, Pshop displayed the preview image for the file.
Once I added a .jpg to the filename, Photoshop opened it without a problem. I don't remember Pshop being so dependent on file extensions in the past. It's been a long time since I had to deal with extensionless files, though. Is this normal behavior?

If the file type and extension don't match, there could be problems. Photoshop goes with the file type first (as specified by MacOS guidelines).
If the file has no type, and no extension - then Photoshop has nothing to go on. Preview does a "best guess".
(yes, Photoshop needs better guessing code, but it's not as easy as it sounds)

Convert pdf xstring to pdf file format

Hi, All,
Could anybody know how to convert xstring(hexadecimal format like 255044462D) to pdf file format? I have to output pdf xstring which generated in SAP to XI, then output PDF file. Thanks a lot!
Marea

From what I've understood from Michal's blog code, it will depend on the format that you choose for the file to have.
In his case, he used
type = if_ai_attachment=>C_MIMETYPE_JPEG
In your case, you could use the equivalent type for PDF files.
If you search for the IF_AI_ATTACHMENT interface in SE80 (ABAP Workbench), under Attributes folder you'll be able to see the constants which are defined in the interface. And there you have C_MIMETYPE_PDF (associated to the content-type 'application/pdf').
I don't know whether it is possible to do the type association using the RFC payload (probably not). The ABAP Proxy attachment seems to be the best approach.

Henrique.

Converting XSTRING into PDF

How to convert Xstring to PDF format and send pdf to multiple user

Hi to all
can any one provide me saple code to convert Xstring to PDF format and send pdf to multiple user
i have searched the SDN , but cant get any proper soulution.
I shall be thankful to you for this.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Use function module 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY' to convert from XString to a Binary table. Just like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      buffer          = lv_xstring_pdf
      append_to_table = ' '
    TABLES
      binary_tab      = lt_doc_content.
To send the email in an OO way you should user class CA_SEND_REQUEST_BCS. Take a look to program BCS_EXAMPLE_6 or any of the test programs in package SBCOMS.

Pdf file extension missing on export

That's it really - the pdf file extension is always missing when I export from Pages 09 to PDF. This causes Windows users problems especially when attached to emails. Any way to force Pages to add the extension?

I repeat:
I uses MacOS X since 10.3.
I use iWork since the delivery of iWork '08 then iWork '09.
I never got a document created by a 'modern' application without the extension name appended.
So I continue to think that if an extension is missing it's because the user made something wrong.
Maybe installing a third party component fooling the OS.
They are a lot of such "enhancers" which introduce oddities in the system behavior but I can't guess what is installed on your machine.
Just an example.
I tested on three macIntel machines running 10.5.6 or 10.5.7.
The menu items Format > Font Bold and Italic are always disabled when TextEdit is using "Plain Text" format.
On the machine of a correspondant, the items are enabled in such setting.
I'm quite sure that there is a beast changing the application's behavior but I can't guess which it is.
Back to the Finder setting.
It's not designed to Hide all extensions names.
It it designed to Show all of them or don't show all (which means that some may continue to be displayed).
As far as I know, the behavior is this one:
if a document is save when the Finder is set to "Always display the extensions", unchecking the box will not hide the extension.
if a document is saved when the Finder is NOT set to "Always display the extensions", checking the box will display the extension, unchecking it will hide the extension.
If you use the Finder with the box checked, the extensions of the files created on your machine will always be displayed.

Printing to PDF adds extra characters in file extension (eg. .pdfg)

Hi.
I have no idea if this is the right forum for my question, but since pdf creation is -- in a way -- printing, I thought I'd start here.
When I create PDFs on my MBP (10.5.4) and send the document to my Windows-using colleagues, they cannot open the files since an extra character has been added to the file extension. This is incredibly frustrating, since I haven't managed to track down the problem.
Is this a problem with the system's in-built PDF-creation tools? Or is it Apple Mail that nefariously adds the unwanted character to the end of attached PDFs? Or might there be some other problem, somewhere?
On my mac, the PDFs look kosher, and my mac-using colleagues can open the files I send to them.
I would be very happy for anyone spreading some light on this subject.
Cheers,
Andreas

Yes, it is a problem with Mail when either the message subject or the pdf document (or any other document type) contain accented characters, I believe.
Until Apple fixes this (which worked in previous Leopard versions), I do not use accented characters when I want to send an attached document via Mail.
HTH ;-))

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

How to set default .PDF file extension for Form Downloads

I am trying to find a way of setting the PDF file extension when I download forms.
I author the forms under a Plus subscription and am then downloading the forms under a basic subscription Collaborator account (diffrent person)
If I don't include .pdf as the file type when downloading a form with a unique name as the Collaborator, it downloads without a file extension.
Remembering to continually add the pdf file extension is a pain so I'm hoping there is away of setting this as a defaulet for my 'collaborator' account ?

Firstly, apologies for multiple posts, I received messages saying my comment hadn't posted and also checked my history before re-submitting.
Okay, the process is
1. Log in as the Author account and I can rename the file without having to set the extension
2. Log in as the Collaboartor account - same PC, browser etc and it doesn't save with a default file extension; HOWEVER, I have done this whilst also being logged in on a diffrent browser as the Author
3 I have just tried logging out as Author and only being in as the collaborator and the form downloaded with a default PDF.
4. I had someone else log in as the collaborator from thei PC and browser whilst I was still signed inunder my author account and again they were unable to save as PDF by default
This has me wondering if there is anything at play when you've got multiple Users?

Clicking on PDF files on the internet does not download with file extension

When I click on a PDF link it downloads the file but does not save it as a ".pdf" file extension. When using the "save as" function in mozilla the ".pdf" file extension is included.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.
