I need to find a solution to read and display an Open Office spreadsheet, inside my AIR application.
I found some information about excel but nothing about Open office.
My wish is to open openoffice calc document inside my air application, I have a dream...
Thanks for helping
I didnt try my self but you can use move as Flextras suggest to do this you can use Read Text an extension to open office, with Flex Iframe or as you like
Alternatively you may use Ulteo an Open office web viewer see this with Flex Iframe ,
Sample IFrame Application
Hopes that helps
I recently wrote an as3 exporter for xlsx depending on your feature requirements (data only should be pretty simple cause like the office x formats the open office formats are xml based) I would start here http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument and look up the full spec. If the docs are compressed use the no chump as3 zip library.

I'm looking for some recommendations on a solution to build dynamic PDFs using salesforce object data. We currently have a layout designed in photoshop, that we're looking to import into Salesforce and fill in various snippets/images based on data that lies within an object. The final product should come out as a PDF
I started building this using Adobe XFDF. I exported the PSD as a PDF and created a fillable form from it. This was then populated from an XFDF file generated from Salesforce. This does work but the design issues with fillable forms, requirement for acrobat pro on every system that uses it and the lack of support for referencing file templates that are not local have killed this. One of these issues alone wouldn't be deal breakers, but all 3 combined are too much to overcome.
While this is mostly all sorted out on the Salesforce side, I'm not sure of the best way to proceed with this when it comes to PDF generation, here are a couple of ideas that might work, but I don't have enough experience to be sure:
Generate HTML/CSS File from PSD file, upload to salesforce, modify html file within salesforce, send to PDF generation API - adobe api looks promising for this, but can I send over html and css files together to generate a single PDF?
Use Salesforce PDF tools to generate PDF, will need to modify visualforce page to the same design as reference design in PSD.
Use some sort of third party PDF generator tool that will allow me to reference my current design as a template.
I'm open to any suggestions, Thanks!
In salesforce, PDF can be generated without using any app. Check out the official document by Salesforce.

It does not require any purchase or separate license. If you are looking specifically an App, it can be found on app exchange.

I am trying to automatically convert some Microsoft OneNote files to PDF to send as a daily email attachment. I have thought of two systematic solutions but need some help in finding the right tools:
Find an application that may be programmatically called (via a Python script e.g.) that will convert a Microsoft OneNote file to a PDF.
Find a way for OneNote to automatically save files as PDFs every time it auto-saves.
Is anyone aware of tools available for either solution?
See my answer to your other question
The approach would be to get the pages content with
./me/onenote/pages/1-1c13bcbae2fdd747a95b3e5386caddf1!1-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/content?includeIDs=true&includeInkML=true&preAuthenticated=true
and then render the html on a canvas with javascript/jquery.
render ink with InkMLjs
and then use a library to convert the canvas to a pdf for example with canvas2pdf
Another approach might be something like Automator for osx. You could get the pages of interest with the microsoft-graph api, open them in a web browser using applescript and when the page has finished rendering -> print -> "Save as PDF"
I'm trying to publish an excel file to the web and I want this file to be interactive for everyone.
After searching Google I saw that in the old office you could do it by enabling the "add interactivity" checkbox that is now missing in office 2010.
does anyone know how I can make my published excel file (now *.htm) be changed by any user through his Web browser?
Unfortunately, the capability of publishing interactive web pages was removed after Excel 2007. You will not be able to accomplish this using Excel 2010.
Have a look here for more information.
I would like to develop a browser plugin/extension (I'm not sure how they differ) for a particular (possibly new) file type. To be very explicit, I would like to visit a file, "foo.org", using my browser in something like Drop Box or Google Drive and have the browser treat the file as Emacs would treat an org-mode file. Eventually I would like to develop a full Emacs plugin/extension and be able to configure the browser to handle files with this plugin/extension based on the file extension or a file grokking heuristic.
Any solution that I develop will allow the editing to take place directly in the browser's tab area, i.e. a seamless solution (as opposed the useful but seamy Edit with Emacs solution referenced below). In the same way that Chrome recognizes a spreadsheet or word document and invokes the appropriate Google Docs tool, I would like to get an Emacs-lite editor handle the foo.org file. Another way to ask the question is: how do Google Docs tools get invoked within Chrome and perform the associated editing task. And are these tools open source?
You should consider building on Ymacs which is an Emacs-like editor in the browser.
For browser extensions, there is an experimental downloads api. However, it doesn't let you monitor downloads at the moment. This is planned for the future:
In the future, you will also be able to monitor and manipulate downloads.
However, you can probably just use some JavaScript and replace all links to *.org files with links that open in a tab running Ymacs. This should have the same effect--clicking a *.org link will open it in a new tab.
Take a look at content scripts and the tab api for documentation on how to inject a script into every page and how to open new tabs.
Take a look at Edit with Emacs , it should help you get (at least) part of the way there.
I think I read once that google chrome was working on some kind of API for mapping file extensions to web sites, so that you could for example have a .docx map to a url like http://word.com?OpenFile=%1 Opening the file from your OS would fire up the browser and take you to the appropriate site and give the site access to the file.
Is this true or am I just going crazy? If so, where can I find the spec for that system?
Ha! Found it at http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/06/working-with-chromes-file-browser.html and http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/fileBrowserHandler.html
Take that, close voters!
