Office Apps Support

Hello,

On Windows 10 64 Bit Scribus 1.5.4 does not start or run. The reason for this is that the files MSVCP140.dll and VCRuntime140.dll are missing in the portable app package. Either include these files in the package or tell users that they need to down load them from the Microsoft Site and place them in directory X:\PortableApps\ScribusPortableTest\App\Scribus where X is the drive on which the user has stored Scribus Portable Test.

Thanks in advance

I copied Hermes100's post from the announcement so it is tracked by the bug tracker.

Howdy, Members:

1. It it possible to install MS Word 2013 only (without other MS Office apps) to my new notebook as a portable and sandboxed?

2. I have existing .DOCX files that have REVISIONS in right column that must also be retained...
(It appears that LibreOffice or other alternatives do not handle MS Word revisions well... plus I need to retain the .DOCX format.)

3. Is there an online Word editor that can competently accomplish this task without the necessity to install to local HDD?

4. Can Sandboxie be installed as portable?

Hello,

1st post at PortableApps.com but been using it for years.

I just added the Official PortableApps Calibre app. On the first run it asked me where to create the Calibre Library folder with the suggestion being C:\Users\admin\Calibre Library. This obviously would not make the library portable. Where should the Calibre Library folder be created for the Official PortableApps Calibre app and what syntax should be used?

Thanks for the help and fantastic software.

Hi,

Could you check if it is possible update the PDFTKBuilder Portable to use the newest Build?

I used to... Go to PDFTK website, download the EXE an then replace the one that the PAF use, but then some functions started to fail.

Is it possible to add support for Ghostscript Portable for SumatraPDF Portable?

Hello everyone,

I have been using Red Notebook for many years and I enjoy the program very much. However, since a couple of months I wasnt able to use it at all. All text is now displayed as squares and I dont know why. I tried reinstalling RN but that didnt help.

My background information:

https://portableapps.com/news/2013-01-19--foxit-reader-portable-5.4.5-re...

There is no download link for 5.4.5 at this page. I keep using version 5 over other alternatives. Would be nice to get the portable version instead.

GnuCash portable 2.6.19, is saving some data on the local computer in the operating system determined user directory, no matter what I do. It is expected that data will be saved in '[GnuCashPortable]\Data', but instead data is being saved in 'C:\Users\[User]\.gnucash'.

This breaks portability, because this is where Customized Reports are saved. (I'm sure that other things are saved here as well.)

Is PA.com's version of PDF-XChange Editor the version with OCR? I was comparing its file size to Tracker Software's Portable version of PDF-XChange Editor with OCR. The PA.com version has a significantly smaller file size. So, I just wanted to confirm whether it is or isn't the OCR version.
