Last year I wrote up a how-to guide installing a .ptx viewer on a Mac for Mavericks and previous versions of OS X. Some steps in that process changed in Yosemite, so here are the steps.
Remember, this is a fairly involved process that takes tinkering under the hood of your Mac. Make sure you're comfortable using the command line. Some of the commands will take a while to run, so it's best to try and multitask while this is going on.
First, install XCode from the App Store. Then, open the Terminal applications (found at /Applications/Utilities/) and run the following command, which installs some command line tools you'll need:
Run the following command to agree to the XCode license:
Scroll to the end using the spacebar and type 'agree' to accept the license.
Next, you'll need the Macports package installation manager, available here. Choose the version that corresponds to your operating system, and install the package. When it's finished, run the following command to update Macports to the latest release (warning: this step can take a while, because it has to compile a bunch of code):
You'll also want to upgrade the installed ports (which can also take a while), as follows:
After this, you'll want to make sure MacPorts knows where to look for its files, which are in the /opt directory. Run this line of code to do so (H/T David Baumgold, whose great Wine on Mac tutorial I just discovered):
Next, we'll use Macports to install Wine:
This will take a few minutes for the files to download, compile, and install. After that, we'll have to install a couple of extensions for wine: (1) Mono, an open source version of the .NET framework; (2) a helper application, winetricks; and (3) Windows Media Player. (1) and (3) are required by E-Transcript Viewer 6.2, and (2) installs (3).
During this process, you're going to have some Windows windows pop up, as you would when installing software on a Windows machine. Make the appropriate selections (the default, preferably) to install the software.
Then, download and install the e-Transcript Viewer app, available here. Download the file, then type the following commands into your Terminal: as follows:
(Pro tip: when you're typing a file name into the Terminal, you can hit the tab key to auto-complete the name). Once you run this program, you'll get a popup telling you to install a couple of prerequisites. Click 'Install'. Check the default values for installation of the E-Transcript Viewer, and complete the installation.
Finally, we'll need to create a shortcut to the installed E-Transcript Viewer application, which is hidden. Open the TextEdit application, and click New Document. Copy and paste the following lines into the document:
Click Format > Make Plain Text. Save the file in the Applications Folder as 'E-Transcript Viewer.command'. Finally, go back to the Terminal window and enter the following commands so that the script we just created can be executed:
Now, you should be able to double-click the 'E-Transcript Viewer.command' file in the Applications folder any time you need to open a .ptx file. Here's the result:
If you get stuck at any point in the process, please let me know in the comments and I'll try to help. You can also holler at me @chaneylawfirm on Twitter. We'd also appreciate a follow on our blog at http://www.chaneylaw.com/blog if you found the tutorial helpful, as I put these out from time to time. Thanks for reading.
UPDATED 6-25-2015: Genericized the home directory in the bash script per the comments.
First, what is a .PTX file?
PTX files are deposition or court transcripts created with RealLegal E-Transcript software, now owned by Thomas Reuters/West Law.
Unlike EXE files, PTX files are not blocked by firewalls or virus protection software. They are also smaller than EXE files, so a preferred file format for many. To learn how to open them, read below.
How To Open .PTX Files: 3 Easy Steps
You can open .PTX files by installing the free E-Transcript Viewer. If you need directions, read below. Or, watch the step by step video here (also below).
1. Download E-Transcript Viewer.
E-Transcript Viewer is FREE software that allows you to VIEW .PTX files. To download it now, CLICK HERE. After clicking that link, a West Law web page will come up (West Law is owned by Thomas Reuters who owns the RealLegal Software). On that page, you want to click an orange rectangle button that says DOWNLOAD. Be sure to pay close attention and remember where the file is being downloaded to on your computer; for example, your desktop, my documents, or the downloads folder.
2. Locate the File You Downloaded.
Once you’ve downloaded E-Transcript Viewer, you must install it. So find the file that you just located. (Note: If you are unable to locate the file, you can do a SEARCH on your computer for this file name: EBundleViewer.exe). If you are using Firefox or Google Chrome as a web browser, your downloaded files may go directly to your downloads folder by default. Alternatively, you can can obtain E-Transcript Viewer by contacting RealLegal at (888) 584-9988.
3. Install E-Transcript Viewer.
Double-click the EbundleViewer.exe file and an installation wizard will appear. Keep clicking NEXT until you see a FINISH button. Now you’re all set! You can now open PTX files on your computer. For example, if you received an e-mail with a .PTX attachment that you couldn’t open earlier, go back to the e-mail and now click the attachment. The transcript will open up in E-Transcript Viewer! You can then view it, print it, save it to PDF, search for keywords, etc.
