The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to preivew or Download Adobe Illustrator Files in SharePoint 2007

Asked by HSWENT in MS SharePoint, Server Applications

Tags: SharePoint 2007

The marketing department of our company is interested in creating a library of Adobe Illustrator files in their SharePoint site in our Intranet.

We ran into a problem that hours of Google searches have proven fruitless:

Here is the gist of the problem:
1. AI file is uploaded to a SharePoint Picture Library
2. A user clicks to download that file
3. SharePoint presents the dialog to save a PDF (not AI)

What is going on that SharePoint is able to automatically convert the file to a PDF?  I've searched Google, Adobe's website, and Microsoft's knowledgebase and have not found a good answer to explain this behavior.

Ultimately we are trying to build a library that is user-friendly, that users can simply click on the AI file and download it for sending our graphic files to a professional printing vendor.

There IS a way to download the AI file but that involves several steps and is not user friendly or intuitive: The user must...
1. click on the check under the picture
2. Access the Actions Menu -> Download
3. click "set advanced download options"
4. finally click download
Not very elegant
