Not able to edit MsBuilds default template - msbuild

I am currently working on TFS automated build process and I won't able to edit/create my process template using Default Template. I did all the process required to edit the Default Template, the process is specified in above link, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd647551.aspx.
When I try to edit the imported file, Encoding message box appears. If I click in "OK" in Encoding box then the template file get encoded in unexpected format and "Invalid Markup" message appears in designer view of WF.
Please suggest on this. I know it's difficult to understand the scenario without Images but I m not able to post an Image because I don't have reputation >10.
So It's really very much appreciating if someone help me on the basis of Info. I have provided.
Thanking you in advance :)

If you're running into encoding issues, you can edit the file directly in notepad after checking it out. Then "Save As..." change the encoding, then save. Then try to reopen it. Sometimes

This appears to have solved someone else's issue:

close all files open in Visual Studio
close Visual Studio
delete the .suo file near the .sln
delete bin and obj folders

View entire path of file in Find/Replace dialog of PyCharm/Intellij

As can be seen in right hand side of the dialog the file path is too long to display in its entirety.
The issue here is there seems to be no way to expand the file path to see all of it. That has at times been a serious problem for me. Is there any workaround for this?

Is there a way to download a google slides document of which I have view perms and I just have the link?

This is the google slides document in question: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vQCYjdh1xx8HY-rP_D33zlJ-DR9s5knPDbBXPUAZJoLCT8Sb5Iwr56MZXhnodGfYSYx1xfXr8jaCvem/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000#slide=id.p
I'm at the start of my year studying again, and I wanted to download these notes...is there way to achieve this? I tried to save page but that obviously won't work, it's an html, I want the original file to save it to my pc.
Is there maybe any web I can paste the link and get the file?
PS: If this is not the appropriate subforum, please tell me where I could post the issue in the stack exchange forums. Thanks!
Answer:
The publish link is a view-only Presesntation mode copy of the Google Slide file, and making a copy from this is disallowed. This is by design and can not be changed.
More Information:
From the help article on publishing Workspace files:
If you send someone the URL of a published file, they’ll see a version they can’t edit that looks different from yours. Here’s what others will see:
Presentations: A view-only version or a version in presentation mode with full-screen slides.
And from the Publish dialog:
Make your content visible to anyone by publishing it to the web. You can link to or embed your document. Learn more
Note: the wording here is view-only and visible, which is not the same as read-only, which would include file copying.
If you wish to obtain a copy of the presentation, I suggest contacting the owner of the file.

Microsoft Access - Missing Reference to acrobat.tlb

I am working with a Microsoft Access database that was mostly completed in Access 2010, and now I am opening it on a new computer that has Access 2013.
Upon opening the program, it tells me,
"Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'acrobat.tlb' version 1.1."
I have done some research, and I know that I need to go into the VB code and go under tools->references. Now under here it lists the working references then says,
"MISSING: Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library"
So now I understand, that I need to give it the reference to that .tlb file. I am good up to here, but whenever I try to browse I can never find this file. I just downloaded Adobe, so I know I have the most recent version.
I saw a couple places in my research that you can just uncheck the box and try compiling again. This however does not work for me. it needs this reference for several things I am doing.
Has anyone ever had this problem or have any guidance for me?
Thank you!
I'm not 100% on this, but loading Adobe by itself may not give you the library you are looking for. You could need the file which is located in the SDK (which happens to be free) adobe site. Try installing this, and see if you can navigate to the tlb.
SQL hound was right. To expand on what he suggested and be more specific for this issue for those with this problem in the future, you need to download the Acrobat DC SDK (not the air one). In InterappCommunicationSupport/Headers you will find acrobat.tlb.
I am using Access 2013 and Acrobat Pro version 11.0.
I have looked for the file "acrobat.tlb" on my drives.
Found it under: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat"
In the Visual Basic Code "tools/references", I clicked "Browse" and went to the location I have found, selected the file and clicked OK.
Returning back to "tools/references", the "Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library" is now available and selected.
I have run minimal code to open and show the number of pages of the opened "pdf" document and it returned the proper number of pages.
Just so you know:
I now remember that there was a selection called only "acrobat", it is now gone. Must have been caused by selecting manually the desired file.
Maybe that selection was pointing to the "acrobat.tlb" file.
You can see the full path and name of the file corresponding to the selected library name at the bottom of the reference window.
I had the same problem but I had a Missing reference to "...Adobe 9...Type Library..." I unchecked that and tryed with, "Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library" futher down. Then it worked.

Eclipse PDT .sql always Save As

I have a number of .sql files in my work space, one of them, when I save it always brings up the Save As dialogue, even though it is already saved. The other peculiarness is that there are 3 other files in the same folder that don't have this behaviour, instead they open the systems default editor (GEdit).
When I save the file in question I also get an error message: "Save Failed
org.eclipse.php.internal.ui.editor.RefactorableFileEditorInp ut cannot be cast to org.eclipse.php.internal.ui.editor.input.NonExistingPHPFileE ditorInput "
Can anyone advise where to look for a solution?
After some trial and error: Open with "internal editor" -> text editor solves the problem

Why does my PDF ask for a password after being retrieved from Visual SourceSafe?

PREFACE: Yes we're moving away from VSS in the next few months.
One of my web projects contains, as one of its files, a PDF. The PDF on our QA site is being pulled from VSS.
A QA tester recently told me he's being prompted for a password when he tries to open it. VSS says the file I have on disk is different than the one it has, so I updated it, but afterwards it's still being shown as different.
So basically VSS is mangling my PDF and the results are so wobbly that Adobe Acrobat Reader is confused and thinks it has a password.
I've tried adding it as Auto-Detect and as Binary. Same results.
Why does my PDF ask for a password after being retrieved from Visual SourceSafe and how can I prevent it?
Do you have the SourceSafe 2005 Update installed?
Handy list of known issues: http://blogs.msdn.com/richardb/archive/2007/06/06/list-of-bugs-fixed-in-sourcesafe-2005-gdr.aspx
The PDF bug was one of the most commonly requested hotfixes: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925234
I've tried adding it as Auto-Detect and as Binary. Same results.
To be clear, are you adding a version of the file you know is not already corrupted? Even so, there are plenty of other bug fixes on the list above which can cause random file corruption -- try that first.
You can remove PDF password by this tool:
Advanced PDF Password Remover 5.0
Step 1: Import PDF files

You can customize a folder to save the output files all together. The default folder is My Documents\Advanced PDF Password Removerr. Click "Brows" button to specify a folder on your computer, or you can make a new folder manually in the text box.
Step 3: Remove restrictions
Click "Start" button, and the files are processed one by one.
"SUCCEED" is displayed in the Result column after the removing process is finished.
