I have created a network diagram on Visio, but now my customer is asking that if during the presentation he clicks on any of the network devices a photo of that device should pop-up with a brief description.
Is that possible in Visio 2013?
There are several ways that you could accomplish this:
1. You can have as many hyperlinks as you like on each shape in Visio.
2. You can link to another page in the same Visio document.
3. You can write code (VBA or other) to open a custom form.
If you are presenting in a web page, then perhaps the first is the best solution.

I am creating a word custom add-ins and in that depending on the file name I have to disable and enable custom ribbon button/s or we can say hide/show custom ribbon button/s.
I go through the link given in Microsoft Docs Here and many other article that suggest that it is only currently in preview state and only accessible on Excel.
I also go through Office User Voice and found one suggestion here.
If anyone have alternative of this then please help me to achieve that.
Support: This add-ins should support Word for Windows, Word For Mac and Word For Web.
As you found in the documentation, enable/disable of ribbon buttons is currently only available in Excel. We are currently looking at bringing the capabilities to PPT but I cannot give you a timeline for when to expect enable/disable for Word.
I would suggest adding a comment to the User Voice suggestion regarding compatibility with Word.
I am trying to build a Powerpoint Addin using the new JS-based stack that Microsoft has introduced. As part of the development, I am evaluating the support that the current JS libraries are providing. While VSTO/COM-based plugins have been around for quite some time, lack of cross-platform support is a challenge(especially for Mac and now Web), which is also the reason I want to opt for Web-based Addin(JS). But Powerpoint doesn't have a HOST API as Excel or Word does which makes things slightly challenging.
Thus here are the capabilities I want to have from the JS stack -
Ability to add and change the properties of shapes. While adding a shape doesn't have a specific API function, I was able to add it as an SVG object. Is there an easier way to change the properties of shapes and
Adding links to shapes to different slides.
Initiating other office apps like Excel and the ability to edit/read data from those instances.
Apply Slide Transitions.
Ability to connect other data resources through a URI.
Store state of shapes and slides.
It would be great if someone can point to the appropriate sections of the documentation which might help me find answers to this.
Most of what you are requesting cannot yet be done in a PowerPoint Web Add-in. But you can so some of it; for example, "connect to other data sources through a URI". I recommend that you look through the Develop section of the documentation.
I need help with mouse over content of the HTML export from Enterprise Architect. I would like the HTML output from Enterprise Architect to also contain the 'Notes' of the element when I mouse over them. Currently this is not possible with the standard HTML export from Enterprise Architect.
Actually there is no way to see the contents and tags of the element if it has a composite child structure except for you have to find it in the side window like project browser and then click the individual object from there.
Please let me know if there are some ways I can achieve these.
Cheers!

I don't think the mouseover option is possible since the actual clickable areas are not related to the elements, they just redirect to the elements page.
But when clicking on an element on the HTML model, it should show you its details :notes, attributes, diagram, etc...(If it shows you the diagram, rest of the content should be below it)
we have a possible customer, who would like to have a custom ribbon in ONE template, which makes it for him easier to design the text etc.
This stuff should work on Office 2007, 2010 and 2013.
Since this will go to thousands of people, the easiest solution for this would be, to implement Macros, which do the Design-Stuff.
It seems to be no problem (I tested only with 2013) to create a custom ribbon and connect it to macros, it seems even to be possible to define custom Icons.
The real problem causess the Ribbon itself. Since, if I activate my custom ribbon, it's activated for all documents, I have to anyhow create a macro, which makes it visible JUST for one template.
Is this even possible, or is there a possibility to define a Ribbon per dotm? I didnt find anything about that, but what I found makes me nervous about the 2007, 2010, 2013 thing...
Or is it easier to create an Addin, which is kindahow compatible with alle 3 Versions?
Use Visual Studio and start a Word Template project. You can use VB if macros are to your liking or C#.
Your future documents will have to have the template attached for the ribbon to show up, which in my experience has proven to be a pain.
Alternatively you can create an addon that handles document-open events and checks if the document looks like what you expect it to look like. Heuristics can be very tricky if you don't have very specific indicators (such as an attached template, schema or content tags)
Another suggestion, which would most likely be acceptable to users, is to write an addon that shows and hides its main ribbon tab but has a ribbon button to "activate" the document and when you click that button (on another tab) it attaches your template or assigns some other persistent indicator to the document. This addon would also check each document when opened for that indicator and automatically show the actual ribbon tab when the document is recognized.
I am currently working on an educational project where I would like to add some PDF reading functionality to an iPhone app. I know that it is possible to add a UIWebView and display the PDF there, however I would like to add the ability to show page number, 'next', 'previous' buttons etc. Is CGPDFDocument the direction that I should be headed or is there a better (ie more feature rich) library available? I have had a look around to try and find the capabilities of CGPDFDocument, but besides the API reference there is not much available.
Would it also be possible with this to annotate a pdf?
Thanks
JP
Here is a good (working) example of the CGPDF functions:
http://www.olivetoast.com/blog/2009/08/simple-uiscrollview-catiledlayer-pdf-example/
It uses a CATiledLayer + UIScrollView, this may not be appropriate for a reader of sorts, but it still shows you how to load and draw a PDF doc without UIWebView (which severely restricts your abilities).
Change the layer type back to a layer, add in page handling using CGPDFDocumentGetNumberOfPages and then CGPDFDocumentGetPage and you have a pretty good reader.
I don't know how to perform annotations, I suspect you would need your own data structure on top of the document.
Update: 04 Feb 2012
Check out this project, it's opensource and very well made.
I think it could be a great starting point for your PDF reader.

There are PDF reader apps, do these not support annotations?
Another angle could be for the iPhone app to read/download pages (images) from the internet, where one could add basic annotations to that (image/layer based), these coordinates could be saved to a server. Those annotations could then be added programatically to a PDF on the server for download?
