Re: WWDC June 2014 "Roundup"

Oh don’t get me wrong Peter. I always have the latest OSX. I was just a little amazed by the great attention given to how “Cool” cosmetic changes looked. Rather than “this is much simpler or easier to use” etc ! I am still a little annoyed about the latest method for adding recipient addresses f

Re: PDF Editor for Mac OS X (Mavericks)

Hi Graham, Apple’s built-in Preview application is not only a PDF viewer like Adobe Reader, but also has some editing features in Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Open a PDF file in Preview, click “Tools” in the top menu, choose “Mark Up” then you can see “Highlight Text”, “Underline Text” and “Strike

Re: PDF Editor for Mac OS X (Mavericks)

Hi Graham … you can do some minor editing with Preview. Not sure if you are aware of this. I add dates, receipt numbers, etc to PDF documents for my home accounts records. On 4 Jun 2014, at 1:13 pm, Graham Rabe wrote: > Given all the pdf editors out there (other than the expensive Adobe app,) I

PDF Editor for Mac OS X (Mavericks)

Given all the pdf editors out there (other than the expensive Adobe app,) I’d appreciate a few recommendations from wamuggers. I’m not necessarily looking for a free app, just a reliable and reasonably priced one. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Cheers, Graham Graham Rabe | Barriste

Hi Pat, I'm pleased the Terminal command worked for you. Did you download and install Java 8 64-bit Java Runtime You don't want it running in 32-bit mode in Mavericks http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html Mac OS X x64 56.61 MB jre-8u5-mac

Re: Changing Get Info permissions

Hi Pat, Glad you finally got it working. Obviously my automator app was different to yours because I opted to open j-wildfire-launcher.jar directly, not by invoking the start_mac.command. So, for me, my automator opened the launcher window ­ the problem was that then pressing ³start² gave the erro

Re: Changing Get Info permissions

Thanks very much, Ronni and Neil! It’s working. Ronni, your Terminal suggestion opened it. Neil, your Automator recipe didn’t work as it was, but I managed to alter it so it did (beginner’s luck, I think, because I haven’t used Automator before). So, the final recipe was: Get Specified Finder I

Hi Pat, Check if the files are in place ( /Applications/JWildfire/lib/j-wildfire.jar ) If so then try in Terminal: cd /Applications/JWildfire sh start_mac.command Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > On 3 Jun 2014, at 6:22 pm, Pat wrote: > > Hi, Ronni, > > Yes. Or rather, it is one of t

Re: Changing Get Info permissions

And if you get it working, why not make it a Mac app using automator ­ it¹s pretty easy (took me a couple of minutes): 1. Open automator 2. From the choose template dialogue choose ³application² 3. Drag the j-wildfire-launcher.jar file onto the workflow window 4. You will see that a ³get specifie

Re: Changing Get Info permissions

Hi Pat, This may or may not help you ;o) I thought the program sounded interesting so I looked it up and decided to have a play. Now bear in mind that my system is not optimum for this ­ I am still running SL 10.6.8, which means that Java 6 is as high as I go. There seems to be conflicting info
