Replace image names with actual images from folder? - image

I basically have a document with all image names listed in it.I also have the images with the same names in a separate folder.
Is there any method/software/script I can follow (Win/Ubuntu) so that I can replace the image text in the document with the actual image from the folder?
Since the image has to replaced in the document, I'm thinking this can only be done in a word/PDF processing software ?
Microsoft office or Libre Office ?
Thanks in advance!

There are programming ways to create/modify Microsoft Word document, which will definitely resolve your problem. for example in C# language: Here
Also there is VBScripts for Microsoft which is easier to learn and are executed inside the software. One example to add an image: Here

For LibreOffice, Andrew Pitonyak's macro document has exactly what you're asking for. Listing 5.30 finds names of images using a regular expression and then inserts the images into the document.

What is the best resource for placeholder image files in various formats?

I'm developing a cross-platform desktop application that handles a range of image files: anything from .jpg, .xpm through to .tiff. The application even needs some .ico files because it runs in the systray and I want to see that the icons change with changing application states.
As a developer I don't want to spend even ten minutes searching for files.
Is there a definitive one-stop-shop site for placeholder / fake images so that developers can use these just get on with their work, with the intention that they'd be later replaced by a designed image before release?

How to convert text image to word converter?

I have searched many ways for free software but no results.I am having TIFF text image and i have worked with foxit reader but there is no editing options.Is there any idea for image converter tool or i want to purchase?Give me idea ? Please help?
You haven't specified what OS you use and if you are looking for source code to automate the word extraction so I will assume you have Windows and a bunch of images you want to extract text from. Therefore a quick solution would be to have a Microsoft Office CD and install the Microsoft Office Document Imaging component which performs OCR on images. In this way you can extract text.

Converting an Image type PDF to an OCR enabled PDF

I'm not sure if my title is overly descriptive of what I'm trying to do so I will try and elabarate.
I've been asked to develop a small application where someone can upload a PDF to the website. The website is coded in ASP classic but I don't mind going down the route of .net.
Once uploaded the code needs to check if the PDF is text based if it is not it needs to then convert the document over to the text type PDF.
Does anyone have an idea of a component that can do this image PDF to text PDF conversion? So far i've looked into:
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
http://www.websupergoo.com/abcocr-1.htm
I didn't overly understand what the ghost thing was doing and the websupergoo solution appeared to be converting images into text files?
I think you could use one of several websites that let you upload an image and send you back an OCR'ed data. Try www.ocrsdk.com, it is a cloud based OCR SDK recently launched by ABBYY. It's now in closed beta so it's completely free to use.
If you can afford a commercial option, you could use Amyuni PDF Creator .Net with asp.net, or Amyuni PDF Creator ActiveX if you want to stay on asp-classic. Take a look on the OCR module for PDF-Image to PDF-Text processing.

Converting Word to PDF Using SharePoint 2010 Word Automation Services

I have tried to find out the way I can put locks or disable the copy and paste on the PDF file after the conversion. I looked at the ConversionJobSettings properties but I couldn’t be able to accomplish this.
Based on what I have read, the sharepoint2010 Word Automation services API provides very limited capability in manipulating the conversion logics but is there any way I can lock down the content so that it cannot be copied?
Thank for your help
You will either need to code something up yourself or get a third party product such as this one, which allows conversion as well as PDF manipulation including security and watermarking.
Note that I worked on this product, so I am obviously biased. Having said that, it works brilliantly.
The only way to prevent copy and paste (as text) is to create image versions of the pages and saves those as a PDF.
a possible solution:
1) Use Word automation to print to a PostScript (PS) printer driver to get a .ps file
2) Use GhostScript to convert the PS to tif files
3) Create a PDF using the tif files (possibly with GhostScript too)

How to use the existing Png-Shell-Thumbnail for my file types?

I am currently writing an application working with specially prepared image data. Another tool prepares the images (basically PNGs with additional data stored in the meta-data section). Now my tool works with these files, but not with all PNGs, so "we" decided to use a different file extension. So far, so good.
Now, because I am a lazy sack I implemented some file type registration to allow double-clicking on the file and opening it in my application (no problem at all).
And here is my Question:
It would be cool if the windows explorer could still show me the thumbnail previews for my files. Since they basically are still PNG files, it should be possible without writing my own shell extension (at least I believe so).
I quickly tried to copy all registry keys and values from HKCR.png to HKCR.mInDat (my file name ext) and it worked. However, I would prefere knowning what I am doing ;-)
Which of the registry settings are responsible for the thumbnail preview control and which can I use to get the preview for my file types?
I tried to google it, but I failed, since it seems I am unable to come up with the right buzz-words to find the info I need. Please, help me.
Thank you!
Yours,

Simple:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apng]
#="apng"
"Content Type"="image/png"
"PerceivedType"="image"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\apng\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
#="{3F30C968-480A-4C6C-862D-EFC0897BB84B}"
