Retrieve the text of an Authorware file?

Hello

Could someone help me with a very basic question to Adobe Authorware?

I got a CD with an Authorware file, called "PB116_17".  The file was created in 2004, and it contains 300 screens of photos with several questions and answers for each photo.  The file works fine on my computer when I double-click on it.

What I need to do, it's the entire text of these questions / answers enter in a word processing program.  It doesn't seem to be a way to copy and paste into the module while it is running, so presumably I open in another program.  I downloaded a free trial of Authorware 7.01 but when I try to use it to open the file I get the following error message:

The file 'PB116_17.exe' cannot be opened because the following error has occurred: bad or wrong type file.

No idea what I am doing wrong?  In case it's helpful, here are a few pieces of info from the 'Properties' window for the file:

File type: Application

Description: Authorware Runtime

Size: 31.4 MB

File version: 7.0.1.0

Thank you!!

You will not be able to open the. EXE. Authorware works with the source files with the extension A7P. The content author creates the file in the format A7P then use Authorware to "publish" the file. Which generates the EXE file that you have received. If you do not have the A7P file then you can not copy the text. You will need to contact the company or individual who created the content for the text.

  • 10gr 2-Sybase15-ORA-28545: cannot retrieve the text of the message from NETWORK/NCR

    Hi all

    I am trying to establish connectivity between Oracle 10 g 2 (Win XP Pro 2002) and Sybase ASE 15.0.2 (Sun Solaris 5.9) by using the transparent gateway for Sybase (TG4SYBS), but encountered the following error. I have looked for a solution quite well in all directions, but so far have been quite unlucky. This is my last resort. I don't really know what I'm doing wrong as I followed the steps of installation and configuration correctly. Please note:
    -Oracle transparent gateway software and database are installed in different homes; and,
    -J' created and tested the ODBC DSN connectivity with the Sybase server.

    The only thing that I have real concern about is the version of the Sybase server 64-bit OS; Windows Oracle server is 32-bit. Are going to count this could be the problem?

    you use the Oracle Listener database in C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\ to spawn TG4SYBS installed in a different House: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\tg_1. This works when you specify the full path in the listener.ora to tg4sybs executable file. The section of SID might look like:
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = csstat)
    (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\tg_1)
    (PROGRAM = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\tg_1\tg4sybs)
    )

    Then STOP and START the listener and try again.

    try to change the text in a saved file, but it will not allow isolate me the text, place the cursor in the text box or simply go back to remove.

    Hello

    in what format save you your file? If it's a jpg file, then the text is compressed and unfortunately PS is telling things as they are. Even if you could change the text before you save, after having been saved in jpg format, the text is merged and is no longer editable.

    A good solution is to save the files as PSD files, photoshop files. In this case, all layers are saved uncompressed and so your text will appear in its own layer in photoshop. All you need to do in this case to change it is the result of a three-step procedure

    (1) select the right layer

    (2) take the text tool in the tools bar

    (3) mark and change your text

    So the crucial question is: in what format you save your file?

  • Retrieve the text of sprite to the specific marker

    Is there a way to recover the text from a spriteMember to a specific marker when you are not located in this marker?

    I have a presentation that uses small graphics below to go to its corresponding marker based on the markerList. I would like to get text in sprite (6) of the corresponding marker location and display them in a sprite of text on the stage at the current location. Without jumping to that location.

    I try to avoid to make a list or naming of the members with the corresponding marker.

    Thank you.

    Wally

    > Is there a way to retrieve the text of a spriteMember to a specific marker
    > When you are not located in this marker?

    Short answer... No.

    You can get the text of the Member?

    If this does not work, you can use the partition record updateLock property.
    You can do something like this: set updateLock true, go the frame you
    want the text of the Member of the sprite, then return on the image you
    running and turn updateLock back to false.

    on test
    _movie.updateLock = true
    Go "spriteFrame".
    Mettre.Member.text sprite (6)
    go "normalFrame."
    _movie.updateLock = false
    end

    If you put that as a Manager in a movie script, you can enter the test of
    the message window and see what happens - you will see the text of the
    Sprite appears, but will not spend the read head...

  • How to extract the text from corrupted pages file

    Really appreciate if someone of you knows a way to extract text from a page files of 9 MB that contains text and images and which does not:

    Error message: file format not valid.

    Change the type of file and opening in various programs (Word, Acrobat, Google doc converter) but nothing I've tried will open it.

    I have a backup at home, but am away for several weeks and done a lot of work on this file since the last backup.

    I hope there is a solution! Thank you

    JR

    If it is in fact a v5 Pages document, and it will not open in preview, or open in v5 Pages while holding the SHIFT key, then you're done. The inner content in Pages v5 is in a format that is illegible, indecipherable, scrambled anything able to read except Pages v5.

    If it's a v5.5.2 Pages or a later version of the document, then it is by default in a single file format (file zip compressed/renamed), and no version of Pages thru v5.2.2 on Mavericks v5 was designed to play a single file format documents that are not original Pages ' 09. If it is a document Pages from Yosemite or El Capitan, you will need the v5.5.3 Pages or later to change the type of file to the package format - which can be read by v5 + Pages on the Mavericks.

    If it is a Pages ' 09 document, there is a good possibility that your attempt to open/edit/etc this document with all of the people mentioned applications has damaged the document permanently. Try the preview or the free LibreOffice (v5 or later) which can open documents file format only (not the package files) of Pages ' 09 very simple, sometimes with pictures. No warranty if.

    If the text already exists in the image, then you cannot delete/edit it in paint. Yes, it is possible but requires a little extra work, you can use third-party application to make changes in the jpeg file. I suggest you research on the use of your favorite search engine.

  • How can I retrieve the same page of a file folder?

    Acrobat X Pro, I have a folder of PDF of 100 + and I want to extract the page 6 of each of these files in order to collect all the pages that are extracted into a new document.  Currently, all I can get it to do is extract the pages and open this page extracted into a temporary file which I then individually save and close individually.

    It is currently what I have and that's obviously not what I need...

    var oNewDoc = this.extractPages (5)

    var cFlName = this.documentFileName.split ("."). Shift () + "_summary.pdf"

    var cPath = "" / C/xxx/xxx/Temp / "+ cFlName"

    • oNewDoc.saveAs (cPath)
    • oNewDoc.closeDoc (true)

    Any help would be certainly appreciated!

    Thank you

    To clarify...

    / * extract pages * /.

    var oNewDoc = this.extractPages (5)

    var oFlName = this.documentFileName.split ("."). Shift () + "_summary.pdf"

    oPath var = "" / C/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx / "+ oFlName"

    oNewDoc.saveAs (oPath)

    oNewDoc.closeDoc (true)

    placed in an action will do what I originally wanted.  It retrieves the requested page in each of the files in a selected folder.  Then renames the files as indicated in the language, saves them to the specified and closes.

  • Why I can't select the text in this pdf file

    Hello

    https://rapidshare.com/files/461732149/cannot_select.PDF

    I can't select text. When I try to select text, the cursor looks like a helping hand. It seems that there is a layer above the text. But when I use the Editor tool, I do not see any layer above the text. Is it possible to change the pdf file so that I can select some text?

    In fact, you should be able to select the text with the Touchup text tool if the annotation link is here or not. What is the tool you use?

    If you want to remove links, you can use the correction before the flight "to dispose of invalid links. At least the link in the sample document is not valid, because there is no action defined for it. You can also use the correction of 'Delete all annotations' to remove all the links that are present, even though you can edit or create a new correction to remove link annotations only.

  • How do I type that is sent from Firefox when I press Refresh and then return the information in order to retrieve the text lost in a forum post?

    Hello

    Here is my problem

    I wrote a text message in a forum on the website and send it to press.
    Then a new page is loaded to say there was a mistake and I need to on the back button to reload the previous window.

    I know from experience that if I do that I lose all the info I just wrote. However, if I reload page curent, the info is sent again I get a question asking if I want to return the information. Unfortunately the problem then.

    What I want to do is to take the information that is returned, i.e. my text written, so I can just start over and use it again. The info is somewhere around inside the cache of firefox, history, or anything else.

    How can I extract it?

    Firefox version 19.0.2 on windows 7

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Thanks, Thomas

    TextArea Cache extension is what I use.

  • Need to retrieve the compressed since picasa tif file!

    A year ago, I received a contract in an E-mail on live.com. It came as a TIF file and now I can't access anything whatsoever, except the first page. It opens in Picasa now, but only on the first page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What is the file type now - some zipped file type, TIFF or something else?  You have the original zipped file to extract the files again and see if it works?

    To open a zipped file, right-click and it and click on extract files.  If this does not work, try the free 7 - Zip http://www.7-zip.org/.

    You have an another Tiff Viewer for TIFF files.  Here's a free one, you can download and try: http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm.

    What is the file size?  Which makes sense for a multiple page Tiff file or is it too small?

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.  But I don't think that it works with a file going back that far (the cliché has probably been deleted now but it's worth a try if nothing else works.

    The only alternative is to try to find some corrupt files online repair software and see if you can reapair the file to see the entire table of contents (because if none of the above works, he has probaby become corrupt over time).

    I hope this helps.  If this does not work or if you have any other questions, do not hesitate to respond and I'll do what I can to try to help you.

    Good luck!
