Windows VM to process Microsoft Office files

Hi,

We are trying to convert Word, Powerpoint and Excel files to PDF (for Word and PPT) and to HTML (for Excel). Excel does a really great job converting and there are free PDF convertors for Word and PPT in windows.

We want to run a windows VM to do this where we can pass in requests and documents and receive the result back. I haven't been able to find anyone who has experience with Windows VM's and automated use of Excel and free ToPDF tools.

Does anyone have any thoughts / experience in doing this or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,
John.

Hi,

I have check the iPhone 6 Plus specifications on apple.com[^] and found the following under the Display section:

5.5"
1920-by-1080-pixel resolution at 401 ppi

I want to know how can re-write this in CSS media query format to be something like this:

CSS

@media only screen 
    and (min-device-width : ----px) 
    and (max-device-width : ----px) 
    and (orientation : portrait [OR LANDSCAPE]) 
    and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio : -)

Hi,

I have a table with the following columns:

Status
Paid
category
From
To
Total Days

It's shown perfectly on desktop but I want to adjust the width or the layout of it on mobile

I am using:

CSS

@media all and (max-width: 414px) and (min-width: 375px)

but I am not sure what to set there for Tables and what's the the best way to do it?

Thanks,
Jassim[^]

Hi,

I found this article:

https://css-tricks.com/responsive-da...#comment-91835[^]

it's really excellent but I have a question please.

using the CSS mentioned in the article will turn all my TDs and TRs which is good except this part:

CSS

td:nth-of-type(1):before { content: "Status"; }
td:nth-of-type(2):before { content: "Paid"; }
td:nth-of-type(3):before { content: "Category"; }
td:nth-of-type(4):before { content: "From"; }
td:nth-of-type(5):before { content: "To"; }
td:nth-of-type(6):before { content: "Total Days"; }

because there are different tables in every page so how can I tell the CSS which titles to use for which table?

Thanks,
Jassim[^]

Smells to me like one or more of your device criteria is not being met. Try cutting them out one by one to see when you get a match.

Could it be that the css values are the same for both selectors?

Hi,

I want to ask which way is better for mobile site?

Using CSS and adjust the DIVs based on screen width and height?

Or redirect to a folder with complete mobile site?

what's your advise?

Thanks,

"It depends". If you want your mobile site to be the same as your desktop site, just with a different display then the best way of doing that is via a responsive css design so the same site looks different on smaller devices. However if you want the site itself to be different, maybe you want a scaled-down version for mobiles with less pages and features, then it might be easier to have a different site for mobile that uses the same back-end.

Hi Jassim,
The best way is to create a website using responsive theme. But if you are using a non-responsive theme then go for editing the theme with CSS.

You can also add a different site for mobile devices. But the problem will be that you have to manage two different websites for desktop and mobile users.

Sending A Resume(Excuse no accentuation)?

As a developer would you send a webpage as a CV/ Resume? Or should one send a .rtf or .doc?

I always send my resume as a word document.
Yet, in my resume there are references to my articles, my web page etc.
I wouldn't send only the Web page... yet if you think your web page has great information (or can really show your work), make it clear on the resume that the web page visit will pay.

Hi MarcusCole,
Sending resume is a standard while applying for interview. So it is better not to ignore it. But as a developer your CV can't show your live work.

Therefore, it is better to send CV and add the address to your portfolio website.

On the client side, Moment.js[^] or one of the many javascript date pickers would be the best option.

On the server side, it depends which framework / language you're using. For .NET, DateTime.TryParse is the way to go, as Mika suggested. Other frameworks will probably have something very similar.

If you try to re-invent date validation using string manipulation, you'll either get it wrong, or drive yourself mad trying. Smile | :)
