I'm using ASP to create a word document using response.contenttype=("application/msword"), which works fine, but I want to do some formatting to the page setup (such as change the margin sizes) before delivering it to the client.
I have created a word template containing logos. I want to be able to open the document and dynamically add data to it and save the file as something else. the problem is when I use the streamobject method it does not work! I can only add data if the file is a notepad (unicode file). Is there any way to do this? I can't find any ttutorials on the web.
Also I know how to write word documents using html and I cant use this method because when I open the document the image will not display. Is there a way to keep the image contained within the document?
If I can get either of the methods above to work that it would have solved my problem!
Or if anyone knows of other ways to creating a word document using logo's and dyanmic data then please let us know.
I have a HTML page with field data on, I would like to know if in ASP i am to pick up that field data and send it to a Word document, the application this data comes from is hosted in an IIS box and uses an ISAPI filter to parse the data from SQL tables to that GUI for the user. This function is need for an individual page at a time, & unfortunately I'm still quite new to ASP so I'm not sure if this is possible.
#1 is not good because it forces the user through two dialogs. #2,#3 seem good because they open the document in IE, but the window does not have the corresponding document toolbar, so the user can not saveAs xxx.doc
How can I accomplish # 2 or #3 with IE showing a word document toolbar?
I intend to send word documents thru mail to my clients. I don't want my clients to save the word document to there system and i don't want them to print the word documents. How can i achieve both the tasks ?
how to (if there is a way) convert Microsoft Word documents to either normal text or PDF (Acrobat) files. I need this to be automatic on the internet. (i.e. people submit word docs and I need to convert if possible).
I need to develop a web application using asp, which ideally should do the following
1. Generate a word document combining templates with dynamic data from a sql server. (I was thinking about generating xml docs)
2. Let the user see and modify the generated document on-line, from he browser
3. Save the (possibly) modified document to a table in SQL server.
I already know how to download/upload files, and save them into a DB.
The problem is I would like to automatize the whole thing, and not forcing the user to download the file, open, edit, save and finally upload.
Any idea would be appreciated.
PS: Even more ideal would be to come up with a general solution, in order to be able to open any kind of doc with the right app, and then automatically post it to my app. Or maybe someway to allow to edit it right from the server.
I have a documentation management system written with ASP.This is a simple system.I want to upload necessary documents and create folders when necessary delete folders etc.When uploading documents I should select both the uploaded file & also the target location.Because I have many many folders and subfolders.
I have a client who needs to be able to upload confidential documents (.doc and PDF) to a "hidden" area within their website so other members of their organization can later view them at their convenience. This area would be restricted by logins and passwords, but it also needs to be secure enough that no outsiders could gain access to these documents if they tried.
I've read on here about placing files in a directory outside of the root directory and then reading them back with a script but I'm wondering if there are other options that would be even more secure than this. Maybe with using some sort of file encryption or something else used in conjunction with files outside the root. I would be open to any 3rd party commercial software if someone has had good experience with it. Does anyone have suggestions to offer?
I'm making a new database that is to store details about word/pdf documents. I need to have a search function that can search through the content of the file. Is this possible? [I'm using Access].
I am working in an intranet/extranet application in which the user should be able to see some documents (specially doc and pdf). These documents will be stored in a safe place in the server preventing anybody from downloading them directly from the URL.
In order to achieve this, I have made an activeX component which takes the original file and stream it to the client. I have basically two questions/problems.
First, is there a way to manipulate the document generated dinamically in order to change the way it is displayed in the browser(zoom factor,etc)? By default it depends on the client configuration. Maybe I could use an application.word object in the ASP but the problem is that I don't have the document in a file, I only have a stream sent from the server.
Another question is, how can I avoid the download dialog(open/download file prompt) on the client? I always want the document to be displayed on the browser. I know this is for security reasons, but can this be configured in some way through the IIS options for the web site? Code:
I have been struggling with this for a couple days now and wanted to see if anyone can point me in the right direction... I am generating an RTF document using ASP and the FileSystemObject from values selected in a form and database values. I have had no problem creating the document and even using some pretty advanced RTF formatting but I cannot figure out how to add an image to the document.
I have read in many places that it is possible and I know there are third-party components that claim to do it but I wanted to see if anyone had any sample code to do this using ASP and the FileSystemObject. I have an image stored on the server and I want to include it within the RTF document.
I run my applications perfectly, can make changes to my database, but I cannot upload Documents or Pictures Etc.Etc.I was able to with my Windows ME OS. I now run Windows 2000.
I maintain a website, written primarily with ASP, which allows users to fill out a form and upload documents to the web server. Once on the server other users can download the documents. Currently anybody within the Intranet can upload and download any documents. I would like to do something that would allow the user to specify who can view a document. I was thinking of using the users domain/handle as the security key.
I am creating an web application with IIS 5.0 where the user will be given a facility to view a PDF or word document. The user can edit these docuements. But once the document is edited, I want to save the changes on server side. Is it possible to implement such a feature?
By the default behaviour of IE, if abc.doc is opened and edited, if we try to save the file by entering the path as URL we are not able to save the file on the server. This is because server creates a readonly copy of the file. Please let me know whether such a feature is feasible? Or whether I have to develop my own component using which this might be possible?
I have developed ASP Website and have a Login page for 3 different user groups. Each group is directed to their own specific webpage within the site.
Can someone please tell me how to display word documents in these ASP webpages. This must be a simple process, as these documents are just for viewing purposes, ie: not editable while been viewed by user group.
I have a series of hyperlinks on my page which open up documents. Mainly pdfs. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to send these straight to the users printer or is this just asking too much ?
I'd like to take a HTML document as input (preferably a HTTP URL to a HTML / PHP document), render the page as a web browser would, and display the output as a graphic - kinda similar to what the <object> tag can do in HTML (i.e. within the Windows Explorer Web View, you could "Preview" HTML documents like a graphic etc.)
It doesnt matter too much whether the rendering needs to be done in VB.net or ASP.net - although I'd prefer ASP.net!! To be honest, the only method I can think of for doing this is to open the page in an IE window using vb.net, take a sceenshot and resize! But as the request could be run as and when,
I think that it'd add a large workload to the server if it has to launch a (reasonably large) .exe every time!! Plus that method would also rely on no other windows appearing on top of the preview window before the screenshot is taken!!
Is it a way I can protect my documents and images on a webserver without having direct access to administrate the webserver.
When I make an asp page I protect the information pulised on this page easy. But if I link to some images and pdf files on my site, these are not protected. If a person get the url to this image or file thei can easy download it.
One way to protect these files is to store them in a database, but is there another way to protect them.
Can I for example password protect a folder where I can put all my files and images? Here I mean password protect a folder without having direct access to the webserver.
Can anyone help me with the syntax of dynamically linking to PDF documents? Essentially the user navigates a couple of pages to find the document they want, however I�m not sure how to turn the following dynamic text into a hyperlink that will open the document.
<%=(getdocuments.Fields.Item("filename").Value)%>
I have tried using an <a href= without much success
<a href="../docs/admindocs?docid=<%=(getdocuments.Fields.Item("filename").Value)%>">Click here to view</a>
I currently have a set of documents in a directory that i need to list in a html table. Is there any way to generate the table with the documents listed instead of having to update the table manually everytime a new document is added to the list.
I've had a look and found a few items on searching a database but I need something a bit more complicated.
I want to store documents in a database, I also want to have a web page view and pdf download of the documents available (easy enough if I just embed the URL of the locations). The problem is I want to also be able to provide a search page that allows the user to search the documents and the database (for authors, date etc) using the same page.
So the question is what's the best way to start with the database and pdf docs and end up with a web view and search engine for it. The database is Access btw.
One of my clients asked me to do a login script for their users that would direct them to a secure page which is protected by checking if the user has logged in (session variable).
The secure page has a number of links to some PDF documents but she is concerned that anyone with the absolute link to the PDF would be able to access the documents.
How can we secure the documents from anyone using the absolute url?
The site is on a Windows 2003 server.
I was thinking something along the lines of how music downloads work where you dont actually get the link to the file and instead are directed to it.
we want to create some documentation of the architecture in an existing ASP application. Can anyone suggest some document types to use to make it easy to understand the application?
I’m having an issue saving/reading an xml file.The source of this file is a the parameter of an object. Through the UI the user can change the value (xml string) of this parameter.
The problem is that the parameter needs the xml with > , < , and " instead of the > , < , " chars. However when I save it, the xml dom and even the fso save it with the actual xml chars. Other than a literal search, is there an easy way to convert the file to have the special chars?
