I have an EDI file which i want to edit. Currently what i'm doing is using arcesb i convert it into xml and then edit it and again convert it into edi format and then send the file.
Does Arcesb provide such functionality which can edit the files on the fly? If not then can you suggest me some other tools which provide such editing functionality?
I am not sure about ArcESB, but you can edit and validate X12 files using edi.stedi.com/inspector.
EDI files are simple text files, and you can use every text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++ to edit EDI files.

I am working on Symfony-1.1 in an existing project. How can I read pdf files and extract text from them?
It's not a Symfony 1.1 related question, actually. It's a PHP one. There several libraries to handle PDFs in PHP. Following are some suggestions.

If you just need to parse pdf in anyway and then process the text in PHP, you can also consider using a java library like the following.

I am searching for a Linux open source EDI file format validator. I have searched a lot but I couldn't able to find an open source tool which works in linux.
Is there any such open source tool available for linux to do at least basic EDI file format validation?
as Andrew say, bots does this.
bots is also used as online validator:
send an email with the edifact file as attachment to easydesadv#gmail.com
A email report will be send back within a minute.
Mind: edifact only, use complete interchanges (incl UNB/UNZ).
We have created a utily that - using MIME - allows us to send emails using the VMS MAIL utility that include various types of file as an attachment. So far it works for PDF, text xls, doc and zip files.
However we are unable to get it to work for the newer .xlsx excel files. We can send it OK and when you open the email up it all looks as it should, the little .xlsx icon is right there etc ... But when we actually click on it to try to open it up , excel simply says the file is in an unreadable format.
I wonder if anyone has any experience of getting this to work ok or can suggest a solution.
Ok, so here is the answer to my own question.
First of all the VMS engineer guys are accepting that mime has a bug which prevents it from encoding native .xlsx (and possibly other new office format files).
The workaround we did was to zip the .xlsx with a recent version (circa 2006) of zip on our openVMS box, using the "-V" option. We could then "mimeify" the zip and send on using VMS Mail. We found that we could then open the zip in the target email client and read the attached .xlsx spreadsheet OK.
In my iOS application, I want to generate the excel(.xlsm) file.
I used the libXl library.(http://www.libxl.com/)
This library can support Excel 97 -2003 formats (xls) and Excel 2007-2013 xml formats (xlsx/xlsm) by referencing in the home page.
Now my problem is I can export xlsx file fomat but cannot export the xlsm application in my application .
Do you know how to do this?
You can't use libXL to create macros, but you can preserve existing macros. I.e. you can take an excel macro-enabled file as a template, read it with libXL, make some modifications and save.
To save .xslm rather than .xslx you only need to give the file a different extension. File format is the same. Excel won't open an .xlsx file if it has embedded macros, but it's only a convention.
I'm new to Rails but am developing a web app that requires taking text from a large database of text files and displaying the text in html. The files are in .doc, .docx, .wps, and .pages, and are currently just sitting on a hardrive. There are a small enough number of files in .wps and .pages that I could convert these to .doc manually, but the question remains: how do I get to the text inside a .doc or .docx file so that I can save it into a sqlite database for later use?
Thanks!
Take a look at Yomu. It's a gem which acts as a wrapper for Apache TIKA and it supports a variety of document formats which includes the following:
Microsoft Office OLE 2 and Office Open XML Formats (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx)
OpenOffice.org OpenDocument Formats (.odt, .ods, .odp)
Apple iWorks Formats
Rich Text Format (.rtf)
Portable Document Format (.pdf)
It's a long roundabout way, but open office can convert files, and there are programmatic ways to do that: http://railstech.com/2010/08/convert-open-office-document-to-another-open-office-format/
That may not be the best way yet, but maybe it will grease the wheels a bit.
