Get data from fmp12-file? - filemaker

I got handed a USB-stick with a Filemaker (.fmp12) file. There was also a bunch of images, xml-files and corresponding ._-files. It is supposed to be an browsable image-archive with image meta-data. I'm expected to extract the information and incorporate it into another site. But I have no experience or licence for filemaker so I do not know howto.
Is it possible to get hold of the content somehow, or is my only option to purchase a licence of Filemaker just to export the data to some friendlier format?

Try downloading the free, trial version of FileMaker Pro Advanced 17.
You may need 'full access' privileges or at least login credentials that allow exporting. There may not be a login required, however.

Tableau Extensions, Writing custom Extensions to Download Data Across multiple sheets

Has anyone used a tableau extension to download data from the dashboards in a very precise manner? I am looking to upgrade the download functionality by building a custom download button that produce specific reports based on the sheets.
The goal would be a download button that can write the information back to the server and allow the user to download that file (something palpable for end users like excel).
I am aware of tableau servers existing download to excel functionality, but do to permission for the end user we cannot enable this, and the complexity of the dashboards makes it less useful regardless.
If anyone has any links or info on this please share, thanks.

Exporting in Netsuite

One of our customer's uses Netsuite ERP. We would like to be able accept pick tickets(orders) from them in a format that would allow us to import the pick tickets into our custom built ERP system. Naturally, I asked them if they could export the pick tickets as CSV to us.
They are attempting to build a custom report with all the fields we need and export it into csv. Aside from them having issues exporting the report only to HTML... Im curious as to why they cant just export the pick ticket they have been sending us, which is in pdf format.
On top of that. Ive noticed via SuitesScript you could modify the on click event to generate a csv of the data. So when they click generate print ticket, why could it not easily generate a csv at that time?
Basically, due to me not havign hands on to their NetSuite system - or any insight to the inner working of NetSuite, im looking to the community to explain to me, what they are doing wrong - or what the best solution is to attain the goal of: exporting a pick ticket(im assuming this is based from the sales order in netsuite...) in a friendly format, allowing me to automate the order entry into my company's system.
I am sure Netsuite provides CSV option for exporting Reports. Please refer to this doc.
To export a report:
On the Reports page, click the name of the report you want to see.
In the footer of the report, select Export-CSV, Export-Microsoft® Word, Export-Microsoft® Excel, or Export-PDF.
One possible problem may be the Role Permissions. Please refer to this.
If your search results pages do not include an Export button, your account administrator may not have assigned you the Full level for the Perform Search permission. This level is required for exporting search results. The Export Lists permission also is required. See Permissions for Searches.
you should be able to export pdf. Please refer to https://github.com/eliseobeltran/NSProject/blob/314c5a03c4251cd06d451527103b7b85bb63f130/GOP/Innov.GOP.GeneratePDF.js
Once you create the saved search, NetSuite has the option to export the saved search as the CSV, MS EXCEL, or PDF. But it's a manual approach. You can do it automatically by writing a JavaScript script in the Suite Script.

Exporting, archiving, or saving ExactTarget mails

To preface this I'm not an ExactTarget expert.... We use ExactTarget and are interested in more archiving our email newsletters so that our subscribers can later use our articles as a reference. We have an archive folder set up in the exact target system, but that is not customer-facing and contains things like extra code.
As I understand it, the current process for archiving involves taking screenshots of the email that is sent out which is stitched together as a PDF. The PDF's are then stuck behind a password protected folder on a website.
Obviously, this is a hacky/low-tech way to do this.
Are there any ways to export these mails for archival purposes that people are using?
I am guessing from the above that you are using the premade templates and creating content using the Exact Target WYSIWYG editor. From there I am assuming also that these articles are in content boxes and HOPEFULLY each 'article' is in a single content box.
If so, then your best bet is to go to the HTML tab on this box and copy that code there and have this inserted onto your company blog (or website if you do not have a blog). Your network admin or website designer will likely know the best way to insert these snippets of code to fit the layout and navigation of the site.
If your message is not personalized, or if so you mdke a generic recipient in your list, you may be able to use the 'view as webpage' link to get the source code. Not sure if those links expire after X days or something though.I have never tried this or tested, but on most email sends there is a "view as webpage" link, maybe try taking one of these links and either hosting on your blog/site or using that link as a reference for your customers.
Using a PDF or screen shots is far from optimal as the content becomes an image and loses a lot of value.
Hope this helps.

Access adobe digital editions from the command line

I'm looking to create a script for my 80-year old grandmother that downloads the books she needs, and converts them using the command-line version of Calibre, to kindle format so she can read them on her kindle. She gets a lot of her books from a service in the form of Adobe .epub books. AFAIK, none of these books have DRM on them prior to being converted, so let me be clear - I'm not asking how to strip DRM from an ebook.
What I am asking is whether there is a way to programmatically (from the command line is fine if Adobe Digital Editions supports CL args) use the ticket file to request a book from the library, and download it, in .epub form, to the local hard drive. I simply don't want my grandmother to have to go through all of the unneeded screens in Adobe Digital Editions' interface - she gets confused easily, and the interface tends to be overwhelming for her. I simply want to write a function (it can be a system() call to a command... that's fine) that will allow her to take a file received from the library or digital service and automatically retrieve the proper .epub file.
I have all of the other steps ready to go... I just can't find any way to retrieve the book from the service without using the DE interface.
Any suggestions?
Check this S.O. posting, I know it will help ;-)

FileMaker Pro 10 - How to Extract Layout and Scripts from fp7 File?

I want to start tracking my FileMaker changes in Subversion but all I have a big binary file with everything. Is there a way to extract the layout and script parts into a text format so that I can see diffs of what was changed?
I'm thinking maybe there's a 3rd party tool for that?
I think the closest thing you're going to find is FileMaker Pro Advanced's Database Design Report, which will export an XML or HTML representation of all of the elements in a FileMaker database. The report will include all of the script steps for a file and all of the position and other information for the layout objects, but depending on the size of your FileMaker system, it may take a while to generate each time.
I use version control for my FileMaker systems but don't bother with diffs, just making sure that I provide adequate comments for my commits.
You should check out FMDiff. It reads the original filemaker files (without needing to generate a DDR) and shows differences between multiple versions of the same file. I've not used it before, but always intended to.
