Emailing a pdf keeps asking for Windows...

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional on a Vista 64 bit machine and have always emailed pdf's using the ''Attach to email'' function or the toolbar icon. Thunderbird is my default email client.?In the last week or so, everytime I try this I'm presented with the ''Windows Mail is not your default.....'' message and it tries to set up Windows Mail.?I have checked that Thunderbird is still my system default and I cannot find any place in Acrobat to specify an email client.

Does anyone know if there has been either a Windows or Adobe update that could have caused this??Or how I might fix it??Thanks.

Emailing a pdf keeps asking for Windows...

Acrobat uses whatever is the default MAPI client. Apparently Windows is trying to take over. You may need to check with Thunderbird to be sure it is active as the MAPI mail client (sorry, I am not how to check with Thunderbird).

Emailing a pdf keeps asking for Windows...

Yes, I have checked all that.?Thunderbird shows as my default both in the Control Panel and in Thunderbird itself.

Thanks, Bill, I finally found it.?I guess a recent Windows update changed the default in the registry even though Thunderbird showed itself as the default. That really is rotten!

Hi Cathy, what was the registry entry you found to fix this?

There was no text in your response. ?

Well, thats odd...here is the text:

I didn't edit the registry, that's just where I saw the entry.?The way I finally fixed it is this:
1. Go to Control Panel (classic view)/Internet Options/Programs Tab and select ''Set Programs''.
2. Select the last option ''Set Program access and computer defaults''
3. Click the double-arrow drop down and go to ''Choose Default Email Program''
4. UNCLICK ''Windows Mail'' even if Thunderbird is selected as the default and be sure Thunderbird's access is enabled.

I had to do this on 3 different computers after a Window update...it infuriated me and I have never been a Microsoft ''basher'' before but this is just unacceptable!?Good luck!

Cathy

Thanks, I've tried that but no luck.

I'm not sure that it's Microsoft's fault - on searching around it seems there is a bug with Thunderbird's MAPI support.

xdp file location:

Hi,

I created a form.xdp using LiveCycle ES in Enterprise suite. I'm surprised that I could not able to find the form in the server. Where is the exact location the form gets stored? I guessed it might be saved as a data record in MYSQL database. if so, in which table this record gets stored?

One more question: When I'm using .net integration with LiveCycle ES, in the code it is asking for repository location. Do we have to setup any repository in the syste? Or do we have a default repository? Can you gimme a glimpse of this repository funda like how we create it...or from where can we access it?

Thanks in advance

k.c

xdp file location:

You're probably using Workbench, i would suggest you to post in the Workbench forum.

I believe workbench saves all resources (xdp, pdf, images, fragments, custom components and so on) on a resource DB that allows for colaborive work, instead of a physical file, but to be honest i have no idea here in with tables it is stored and how you can retrieve it manually.

If you're using Designer then the xdp file is in your local machine (the machine from here Desinger was launched)

Accessing parent variables in...

I thought I knew how to do this, but maybe someone might be able to see why this is not working...

here's what I have (simplified to only show necessary code):

Main Timeline:

var currentItem:String = 'applesauce';

(then some code to load an external swf)

External swf main timeline:

trace(currentItem);

it returns ''undefiend''

i have tried

trace(MovieClip(root).currentItem);

trace(MovieClip(this.parent).currentItem);

each time undefined, any ideas?

Accessing parent variables in...

movieClip(parent.parent)

supposedly ... didn't work for me ... but it was explained the 1st parent reference is the loader .. the second the maintimeline ..

if your loading it into a MC .. add an additional parent ref ..

Setup Error?

I need help. I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 Proffesional, and exracted the files. Then I loaded up the setup.

After checked the ''System Profile'', one of two errors would come up.

1. If I had Internet Explorer open, it told me to close that and Adobe Updater, which I didn't have open.

2. If I had nothing open, it just said something about a setup error and told me to contact customer support.

Any suggestions as to why this is going wrong?

Print Orientation and Rotated Pages

Adobe Reader 8 and 9 have lost a feature that Adobe Reader 7 performs--I am hoping that someone can tell me I am wrong, though.

In AR7, if I print a 14'' page on 11'' paper then print at actual size, I get the top 11'' of the page. If instead I rotate the page 180 degrees and print I get the bottom 11'' of the page. With AR8 and AR9, rotated or not I get the top 11'' of the page.

Searching the forum I saw one post mention that one needs to rotate the page rather than the view but I find no way to this in AR9; I suspect the writer was talking about Acrobat or other tool.

Is there a way to do this just with the Reader?

Print Orientation and Rotated Pages

Rotate page is an Acrobat not Reader feature.

Print Orientation and Rotated Pages

As I suspected, but that is not really my question. Is there a way to do what I described with just the Reader? If not, I guess I will have to stick with Reader version 7...

Data Merge

Hello, I work for Pok鑼卪on making strategy guides.

In the video games, each ''creature'' has a set of stats, info and moves it can learn that are associated with it. (Please take a look at the attached file.)

I have recently just discovered and have been extensively testing the Data Merge feature (WOW! You can imagine my life before this.) SO amazing.

This particular page was created by hand (181 out of 492) manually inputting information. Now, I know better.

I can get Indesign and Excel to communicate enough for it to show everything except for the the ''moves'' on the right hand side of thr page.

My question is essentially this: is there a way for me to automate the moves as well? Currently, the moves all exist as separate Excel documents. And all that information is too big for a cell to hold. Is there a way to do this?

Data Merge

If you have CS3 or CS4 you could try making sparate data merge documents for the moves, then place thoise documents into the first set of docs you made for the characters. Without seeing the excel files it's a little hard for me to understand the structure.

Data Merge

You could also invest in a dedicated merge plugin or app. Quite a few around which will work with merging data into multiple fields in a doc.

I'm kind of confused though, the moves (the area on the right?) look like the only area on the page that uses data merge. What other region were you referring to for data merge?

As I mentioned before, there are 490+ Pok鑼卪on.

If I were to set up the Excel sheet for this, it would need fields for: (from top to bottom)

閳?Name of Pok鑼卪on

閳?Pok鑼卍ex Number

閳?Picture of Pok鑼卪on

閳?Pok鑼卪on Type 1

閳?Pok鑼卪on Type 2

閳?Height

閳?Weight

閳?Gender

閳?Items

閳?Abilities

閳?Description

閳?Evolution Chain

閳?Egg Group

...you get the idea. Essentially, everything on this page is unique to this character.

And then on the right hand side of the page are the moves which are individual for each.

My thought for the moves as data fields is that I would rather not just because of the amount of time required to format the 490+ files. If possible, to be able to use as is, would be ideal.

I will look into a merge plugin. This might be the solution I need.

Got it. Two better known companies are em software and woodwing. I'm about to purchase an app call DesignMerge. I saw it in action at a trade show and folllowed up with a one-to-one webinar. The company also lowered the price substantially enough for me to take the plunge. One of the things I like best is that the purchase price included 1 year of support.

ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS...

Each time I paste text from a Word document into my ID CS4 document, ID begins to run very slowly. I can't even type properly. Has anyone else seen this?

I have fixed this problem by copying all the text and pasting in the a new document (I thought the document was possibly corrupted). This fixed the problem, but it has happened multiple times now. Much of my information comes from engineers' word documents, so this is not convenient.

ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS...

I think this may have been addressed in the 6.0.3 update, but I haven't been paying too much attention to exactly which Word problems are which -- they all seem to be for versions after Word 2000 when I stopped upgrading.

Peter

ID CS4 slow after pasting text from MS...

I did perform the most recent update. I thought the update might fix it, too, but this problem happened both before and after the update.

What about if you Edit %26gt; Paste without Formatting?

Ken

Paste without formatting is not actually an option when pasting in from Word. It's only an option when I cut and paste text already in ID.

Now the problem has progressed throughout all files once I've pasted in any file. It happens in files that were open when I pasted, and in files I open after that. Is there a way to clear the clipboard somewhere? It seems like this was an option in (much) older versions.

I'm at a loss. This is a really strange glitch.

Sorry, I was not completely accurate in my last post. It's not that all files are slow, it's the problem is persistent. Once I have pasted from Word into an ID file, the file is slow forever, even after I've closed ID completely. So weird.

Edit %26gt; Preferences %26gt; Clipboard Handling %26gt; Text Only.

Ken

I believe it may be related to cross references in the file. After editing cross reference styles, the slowness has stopped. Sorry I don't have more definitive information.

This is exactly what I'm experiencing.?Very frustrating. Have you received a workable answer?

The best I can tell, it is related to the cross references, and that it happened after pasting was coincedental. It could have been that pasting made a cross referenced section move to another page, so it was trying to update.

The cross references are a little buggy:

1. EVERY time I create a cross ref from the cross ref menu (in the cross ref window), ID CS4 (with all patches) crashes. If I create them from the Text menu (at the top), it doesn't crash.
   
2. If you have a large number of cross refs in a doc, it becomes slow.
3. When slowness occurs, I have found that updating the cross refs and then resolving all errors in the cross ref window usually clears it up.

Moving Tracks Up Or Down?

Is it possible to move a track up or down? I have a video with many tracks and I've been using the fact that the top-most track has precedence. Now I want to make a track lower on the list the top-most. Is it possible to move it to the top or does one have to create a new track and move all the clips up there?

TIA,

---JC

Moving Tracks Up Or Down?

Yes, the manual or help file will tell you how. Else get a basic education in doing these very basic things.

Moving Tracks Up Or Down?

Cute. Where's the checkbox to rank replies as 'Unhelpful'.

Moving Tracks is not quite as intuitive, or as easy, as one would hope.

Basically, you use a combo of Sequence%26gt;Add Tracks. Locate where you wish this new Track to be created (watch out that you do not also add, say an Audio Track, when you only want a Video Track, or a Video Track, when you only want an Audio Track). In your case, I'd lock all other Tracks and either Ctrl-a (Select All), or Lasso all the Clips on the Track that you'll move from. Copy, or Move these Clips to your new, higher level Track. I'd probably do the Copy/Paste, just to make sure I was happy, then Delete the Clips on the old Track. Go to Sequence%26gt;Delete Tracks and check Unused.

Kinda' wish there was a hot-spot on each Track, that one could click-drag on, but then that might REALLY mess things up, if one were not careful.

Good luck,

Hunt

I am not sure there is a way to reorder video tracks in a simple manner but would be pleased to be enlightened as well.

@ the O.P This forum has a number of self appointed 'Hall Monitors' who go out of ther way to let you know you are unworthy to be on this site.?Ignore their flawed personalities because plenty of others offer good advice and are helpful.?(That is ...when they can log into this flawed site).

I don't understand your problem, select the clips, group them if you want, drag them to another track and possibly another location on the timeline and drop them and you're done. Just move the clips on the lower track to a higher track by drag and drop, move the clips from the higher track to a lower track by drag and drop. What is your problem?

Craig,

I've thought about filing a Feature Request for an easy way to do this. I find that I'm always having to do the Create Tracks/Delete Tracks in my Audio. I've hesitated, as it might well cause more problems than I could ever imagine. It would need to be a hot-spot, but one that was locked by default, until you needed it.

Also, I was one of those, who campaigned for indented replies in this forum, when the changeover occurred. I got it, but did not anticipate the exact implementation. Boy did I ever mess up with that request - it's a ''be careful of what you wish for'' situation.

Maybe nows a good time to run the idea of movable Tracks past the group, to get comments and thoughts. I could see it being useful, so long as the user was locked out, until the ''switch'' was thrown. What do you think? I'll start the Feature Request, if everyone gets on board.

When the new track targeting ''system'' was implimented?(CS4), it would have been the ideal?opportunity to have been able to reorder the tracks?from the header?by drag and drop or similar method.

JC,

Is there a way to see the 'real' track number along side the track -name-? I rename my tracks 'Narrator', 'Wideshot', etc. but then when adding new tracks, the tracks are referred to by their -number-. I wish I could see -both- side by side so when I add a track I know where it's going without having to count the track #s.

Thanks. At least this saves me the trouble of scouring through the docs and feeling stupid that I can't find it.

Both these features seem so self-evident (to -me- anyways). Sorry to be a pest. I do love the program.

Cheers,

---JC

JC,

Thanks. At least this saves me the trouble of scouring through the docs and feeling stupid that I can't find it. Now, thinking about my Feature Request, I wonder if CS4's Track Targeting would get in the way, or be harmed in any way???? Still, would be nice to do easily, when you want to do it.

Craig,

That is probably too correct. That's why I posed the question in this thread, BEFORE I filed the Feature Request. I think that it was you, in the Lounge some time back, who commented (in only half gest), that all Feature Requests MUST be passed around, so nothing got broken, because of them. There is wisdom in that joke, as we all know too well.

Hunt

Maybe it's my ADHD personality, but I -hate- the current trend in OLH. Clicking on 'help' brings me to the Adobe web site rather than what I -want- which is a FRICKIN' BOOK, like the good ol' days.

And AFA 'tasks', if I want to learn a sequence of steps? I gotta watch a FRICKIN' VIDEO. I don't -want- to watch videos. I want to get the info FAST like in good ol' fashioned cook book.

Clearly, I'm dating myself. But all these gee whiz 'help' features actually slow me down... which is why I post these seemingly noob questions. It's actually a LOT faster to ask -here- than to wade through the Adobe Web Site.

In the 'be careful what you wish for' category, perhaps Adobe will come out with a MACRO FACILITY or KEYSTROKE RECORDER for this sort of thing.

You guys are great.

---JC

Couldnt agree more.

Much has been written about actual Help Manuals ( in book form).?

We all loved the smell of them.

I want to get the info FAST like in good ol' fashioned cook book.

Print PDF on legal paper

I have some reports that I produce in MS Access and use a print to PDF function to create the PDF documents, the reports are setup to print on legal paper and do from MS Access however once they are in the PDF the user must click on Choose Paper Source by PDF page size in order for it to come out on legal paper otherwise it squishes it onto a 8.5x11 sheet.?I have Acrobat Professional (although I have no idea how to use it) available to edit the PDF but I cannot figure out how to get this document to print on legal paper by default.?Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Print PDF on legal paper

It is basically the process of loading the legal paper in the printer. For a default, select START%26gt;Settings%26gt;Printers and right click on the Adobe PDF printer. Select the settings tab and then the Adobe PDF page size for legal.

Print PDF on legal paper

Thanks for the reply Bill, That would certainly work but I don't want the default on all PDFs to be legal size, just for this document.. is there a way to set a default on the document itself?

Depends to some extent on the application. Generally, once you open the application and select the Adobe PDF printer, you make the change in the printer properties and that will be retained as long as the application is open. Once you close the application, then you are back to the default. Thus the change is not dependent on the document, but the application and the time that it is open. Otherwise, you are working with the default.

I am not sure that it might be possible to make settings in PDF Maker that would hold indefinitely for the application. I don't use PDF Maker that much.

Raj,

Looks like you've got two threads going on the same problem - here and HERE.

Why don't you copy over your reply from that other thread to this one, to help the folks playing along at home. This thread also has a better title, so let's just let the other one die. Was going to mention something about the other title, but got sidetracked. This one is much better, so no need for me to comment. Since all I did in the other thread was ask for the info, no need to worry about my post being over there. The info that you did provide needs to also appear here though. Probably easiest for you to just do a Ctrl-c/Ctrl-v into a reply here. If anyone gets confused about what I asked for there, I'll do the same, but I don't think it will be of much use - however your answers will be.

Good luck,

Hunt

From the other thread:

Bill Hunt posted:

Raj,

Please give us info on how you have the camera connected, what order you turn it on, and also the order that you start PrPro and its Capture module. Also, what mode do you have the camera set to?

What OS are you on?

Does your OS see your camera, when it is connected and turned on?

The answers will likely point someone in the right direction to help you.

Raj answered:

the camera Is canon HV20 it is mini dv camera. i put in plyback option .

I am using macintosh osx 10.5.7

yeah it sees when i connect the camera via firewire in the capture it says it is playing but does not preview and record.

when i start adobe premiere i use the first option DVCPROHD 1080i

DVCPROHD 1080i 24P

i set on the camera on HDV/Dv mode.

Thankx please reply i really need help.

Maybe we let the other thread die. I'll go and link back to this one.

Hey tanks man for the reply the other he is just there to write bad stuff i needed help.

but he can't help he should i can't help because i do't know anything.

anyway.

Raj,

I do not know Mac, so these are just shots in the dark:

1.) Do you have iMovie, or similar on your Mac? If so, can you capture with it as a test? What happens?

2.) Seems to be a bit of confusion on how the camera is setup, i.e. what CODEC/format it's using. Please check this and let us know for sure.

3.) What are your Project/Sequence Presets? Do they match your camera's settings? If not, they need to.

4.) Seems that I recall some other users having issues with PrPro, Mac and similar Canon cameras. Will post links to those threads, if I can find them.

Good luck,

Hunt

PS other than sneaking back to the other thread to give me some more ''points,'' let's just let it die. It's far too confusing to have two goind at one time, especially for my simple mind.

yeah i can capture with imovie. it captures really good but the problem is it captures the video in different clip not just in one clip. that's why i am using adobe premiere pro because it captures all tha video in one clip.

the video is recorded in HDV 24FP and composition is 1080i. and i chose the same preset but it didn't work.

thankx alot for the reply.

Hi Raj:

The message you get seems to point that you have set in the settings-tab of the capture window ''DV'' as format and not ''HDV'' - or vice versa (depending what video-clips you have recorded on the camera-tape).

A-Procedure

1. What video-clips are on your camera-tape you wish to capture? DV or HDV? Say here for example HDV:

2. Start premiere and ensure that you setup a project to HDV (or DV; see 1.)

3. After connecting via firewire the camera to the PC set the HV20 to PLAY!

4. Press F5 which shows the capture window

5. Select the Tab ''Settings''

6. In the ''Capture settings'' select ''Edit...'' and select now the correct format HDV (or DV) and select OK

7. In the Area ''Device control'' select ''Options...''

8. Ensure the following settings: PAL - Canon - Standard - Non Drop-Frame (or in the case of NTSC: NTSC - Canon - Standard -Auto detect)

9. Select ''Check Status'': If the camera is correct connected to the PC聽 and there is the correct HDV-tape in it then the status ''Online'' should be shown.

B-Further Checks

If all that does not help You should check:

* Edit %26gt; Preferences (especially Audio, Capture and Device Control)

* Project %26gt; Project Settings %26gt; General (''Capture'' must show ''HDV'')

C-Postscripts

a) I am working with HV20-camera, XP/SP3, Adobe Premiere Pro 4.1, PAL, HDV (sometimes DV) and have no problems with capturing.

b) A last word: If you have HDV聽 and DV-clips on one tape ==%26gt; thats not good !! Use one tape either for HDV聽 or DV recording. In the case that there are DV- and HDV-clips on the tape you may get troubles when trying capturing.

c) A last-last word: When recording with the HV20 ensure that you have set correct all camera-settings (especially that concerning DV versus HDV)!

d) If that all can not help you - then I also need much more information!

Regards - kurt

yeah i can capture with imovie. it captures really good but the problem is it captures the video in different clip not just in one clip

If you DO have iSight, you might want to look at this Adobe KB. I'm still looking for the threads for you.

Hey Thanks alot for your Help and the other person I figured it out and fixed it.

Now i can capture.

That's great news. I can stop looking for those iSight articles now.

Slider Bar Glitch

I adapted a horizontal slider bar to a vertical slider bar, and it appeared to work, but I noticed when I drag it down partially, and then release, I can drag it further down, but not back up. I have included my code below, with ''slide'' being the button that slides up and down the ''slider'' located in the navigation.tableu4 movie clip.

What did I do wrong to make the slider bar a ''one way trip'' and how do I ''buy it round trip tickets''?

----

onEnterFrame = function(){

?var y_num:Number = navigation.tableu4.slider.slide._y;
?
?navigation.tableu4.slider.slide.onPress = function(){

problem: same tween multiple times on...

Hi guys,

i can't get my head arroud my problem, because i want to have multiple blocks moving over my stage, but i want use just the one mc in the libary and my function, what adds a new block with random color, alpha and speed.

I think, that i have to use addChild();, but i have no idea how to use it properly.

To make it a easier i attached my file and i appreciate any help!!!

problem: same tween multiple times on...

First you need to designate the object in the library as an item that can be loaded dynamically.

Right click on it in the library and select Linkage from the menu that appears. In the interface that appears, select Export for Actionscript. A Class name will automatically be assigned, which you can change as you like (lets just say you name it MyObject). This is the name you will use to call in the item from the library.

When you click OK to close that interface, it will come up with an indication saying it can't find the class so it will create one at complie time... click OK there to.?You're done preparing the object in the library.

To add the item to the stage, treat it like any other new object instance:

var newObject:MyObject = new MyObject();
newObject.x = .... etc...
this.addChild(newObject);

problem: same tween multiple times on...

Thanks Ned Murphy,

i totaly forgot that, but i got it working now.

Cheers

You're welcome

Adobe upgrade - sales & customer...

Where are the Adobe customer service folks? Do ALL Adobe customers get treater this poorly?

I use a couple of InDesign add-ins (Croptima's InPlate and Xerox/XMPie's uDirect). Upon release of Adobe's CS4, these apps became broken, so it required me to stay back on CS2 until this was completed. However, upon contacting Adobe Sales, they told me I had just missed the lower price ($499)by 3 weeks.

Here's the chronology:

5/21/2009 Case # 0202095769 submitted to the the Adobe Support website (over a month ago). Requested the $499 pricing to be extended as I wanted to be sure that the add-ins would work with CS4 prior to purchase.

5/28/2009 No response from Adobe, updated above case to try and create new visibility

6/4/2009 Finally get an Adobe response who basically says nothing they can do, but I can elevate my request if I wish. FWIW, I did not receive an email notification of this update.

6/8/2009?I check back and find the above mentioned updated, so I submit an update asking for escalation.

6/11/2009 No Adobe response so I update the incident again

6/12/2009 Still no Adobe response so I update the incident again

6/16/2009 Still no Adobe response so I create a NEW incident case #0202174275, asking for my previous case to be addressed.

6/18/2009 Considering how things have been going, I try and CALL Adobe's Customer Support team (India, of course!). I get the run-around, they tell me I need to talk with Sales. They transfer me to sales. Sales puts me on hold, call gets redirected to Customer Service (back in India), here we go again. I call back to Sales, I get put on hold indefinitely. I call back to Sales, I get a guy that says 'yep, we can help you out'. We do the deal (finally!)

6/23/2009 I receive the shipment from Adobe, it's the CS3-%26gt;CS4 upgrade - NO GOOD!

6/24/2009 I begin calling Adobe customer service (back to India again - argh!), multiple run-arounds. Back to Sales, put on hold again indefinitely (rep = Dylan). I call back multiple times to try and get _someone_ I can talk to. I get to (rep = Mike), who says that I can get a ''call back'' on this issue, but he doesn't state WHEN I'll get the call back. In the meantime, I have to go back to Customer Service to arrange return and refund of the INCORRECT license Adobe sent me. Another HOUR on the phone with Adobe's customer service.

I wanted to be sure I could make this all happen before I upgraded my Add-Ins. Once my oder was set last week, I ordered the add-in upgrades. Now, I don't have the CS4 upgrade, and I've purchased some add-ins that now won't work on CS2.

Do ALL Adobe customers get this level of customer service?

Adobe upgrade - sales %26 customer...

Isn't it sad that I can't even get an Adove response to this?

Adobe upgrade - sales %26 customer...

In case you haven't noticed, these forums are User to User forums. They are not officially monitored by anyone at Adobe.

?- Dov

I do understand that they are not _officially_ monitored by Adobe. I would have thought however that the ''Ask Adobe'' support cases _would_ be monitored but that didn't seem to be the case either. Consequently I can only expand my reach into other areas such as this in order to try and get _someone_ from Adobe to look at my case(s).

Thank you.

Resizing multiple images at once

I'm working on a project that has 60+ JPG files exported from a PowerPoint preseentation.?I need to scale each slide down to fit the safe zones so the text is visible.?Is there any way to size all the images at once inside of Premiere??Right now I have to click on each image, and use the Scale setting to set its size, which will take forever.

Resizing multiple images at once

You can go onto the motion settings for one of the images, adust it to how you like, then copy the motion property of that still image and drag and select all your other images in the timeline and paste. This will paste that transformation you made to the first image to the rest of the stills.?If your images are different resolutions, you may need to manually do each image.?Hope this helps.

Resizing multiple images at once

You also select all the images in the timeline and right click and select scale to frame size.

Welcome to the forum.

While you can scale the images in PrPro, doing so in Photoshop will yield better quality. For this, you WILL need to re Import, but the end result will be better.

If you do go that route, see this ARTICLE in the PE Tips %26amp; Tricks sub-forum. Since you're starting with JPEG, you will improve the quality, if you do the Save_As from PS as .PSD's and Import_As_Footage with Layers Flattened. To re-JPEG a JPEG is asking for a quality hit.

Good luck,

Hunt

Quicker than PS to resize multiple images (batch)?is a little application called ReaConverter.

Craig,

Have not heard of this one before. Many folk also like IrfanView. Personally, almost all of my images are in PS to begin with, so I just run an Action on them and Save them to a sub-folder. It's a click-type-click-click-done process. Maybe I should look around a bit.

Thanks for the rec.

Hunt

http://www.reasoft.com/products/reaconverter/

Adrew Kramer made a neat tutorial about batch processing photo's in PS.

http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/elegant_slideshows/

Thanks for the suggestions.?To get the image to fit correctly, I used the scale control to resize to 65% of the original size in Premiere.?If I use Photoshop to resize the images by 65%, will that create a same sized image??I don't know if the resizing of images works the same in both apps.

Photoshop is actually much better at it than Premiere.

I strongly support Jim's statement. In all of my tests, the resizing algorithms in PS are better than those in PrPro. Now, I come from a print advertising background, so maybe I judge these things more critically than most.

While one can certainly set the Motion%26gt;Scale attributes for one image, and then do Copy, Select all other Clips, and Paste Attributes, I can do the resizing in PS on a folder with 100 images via Actions and File%26gt;Automate%26gt;Batch in less time than it takes to type this.

Maybe try one via PrPro and the same one via PS and then judge the results for yourself. View critically at the size that you will likely distribute to, say DVD to a larger new TV. Tell me what you think.

Good luck,

Hunt

lightroom is not importing photos from...

I have the latest version of lightroom 2.4. However when I try to import into the library module nothing happen. Any ideas how to fix this problem?

lightroom is not importing photos from...

I need to know a bit more information to try to diagnose your issue.

• When you plug in the card reader/insert the card, are you getting the import dialog?
• If you are getting the import dialog, do you get any error messages while attempting to import?
• What was happening before you upgraded (in version 2.3) that is now not happening in version 2.4?

Hopefully I'll be able to help if you can answer those questions.

Thanks,

I somehow fix this problem.

I uninstalled lightroom from the hard drive and re-installed the lightroom again, then, I download the up to date upgrade which is lightroom 2.4 for my lightroom 2.0 version.

It works!

Thanks everyone for your concerns and for your answers.

Updating can solve some things, but it's not necessary to reinstall v 2.0 as the install is the complete application.

Some times things are solved via a quit and restart; sometimes a cold reboot does it.

When will the TLFTextField be fully...

Hi,

We are using the new TLF in a project that requires a lot of font embedding and replacing the normal TextField by using the TextFlow and the TextFlowTextLineFactory in actionscript code. However, we also require input fields using the new font embedding. So the TLFTextField would be a great help in moving forward faster in the project.

So I hope someone can share some light on the TLFTextField or any other way to easily create textfields to be used in forms using the new font embedding.

Best regards,

Marco

When will the TLFTextField be fully...

Due to schedule constraints, for Flex 4.0, TLFTextField will only be usable in limited situations (no htmlText, no scrolling, no selection, no editing) and will not be on by default in any Halo components. We hope to offer a much more complete TLFTextField in a subsequent release.

Line counts in s:TextInput or s:TextArea

Is there a way to get the number of lines in an s:TextInput or s:TextArea control??I need to write some code that will change font size based on the number of lines so that if the text gets too long, I can make the font smaller so all content fits within the box.

Thanks.

Line counts in s:TextInput or s:TextArea

You could try looking to see how many children the RichEditableText in the TextInputSkin or TextAreaSkin has. Each line of text is a subclass of DisplayObject called TextLine. However, some of the children may be Shapes if you are using backgroundColor on %26lt;span%26gt; tags, so if that's an issue you'd have to enumerate the children and check each one.

Gordon Smith

Adobe Flex SDK Team

Actually, you're going to also have the problem that RichEditableText doesn't create TextLines for lines of text that aren't visible.

You should instead look at the contentHeight property of the RichEditableText. If it is greater than the actual height, then the text doesn't fit.

Gordon Smith

Adobe Flex SDK Team

I tried using the contentHeight property, but it wasn't consistently returning the correct value.?Occassionaly, the change event would cause that property to be updated, so I could paste in 4 lines of text and the contentHeight would remain at 0.

I'll post a bug and hope for a fix in the final gumbo sdk.

Activate Photoshop 7.0 in Mac OS 10.5.6...

Re: My Headline: Can it be done?

This is a holdover between Mac systems 9 and 10. I bought Photoshop 3.0 under Mac System 9. Ditto Photoshop 5.5. I have since bought (and used) Photoshop 7.0 (in the Classic environment, Mac System 9, I suppose).

Can I use Photoshop 7.0 in Mac System 10??It seems I should be able to. Photoshop 7.0 appears to have loaded properly into Mac 10.5.6, but when I try to activate Photoshop 7.0, machine informs:?

?''An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit.''

I have deleted the Plug-Ins folder, to no avail.

Can I use Photoshop 7.0 in Mac System 10.5.6??

Must I install a ''Classic Environment'' to be able to use 7.0 in 10.5.6?

Activate Photoshop 7.0 in Mac OS 10.5.6...

You cannot run Photoshop 7.x on any version of Leopard (10.5.x), period.

Photoshop 7.x runs fine in earlier versions of OS X, up to Tiger 10.4.11.

Leopard, 10.5.x, does NOT support Classic at all.?You cannot install a ''Classic environment'' in 10.5.x.

The current version of Leopard is 10.5.7.?You cannot use Photoshop 7 at all.?You can't even install it because the installer will not run in 10.5.x, you must have either cloned it, migrated it or installed it in an earlier version of OS, not 10.5.x.

Activate Photoshop 7.0 in Mac OS 10.5.6...

If you want to run 7.x, you would have to revert to Tiger, 10.4.11.

Unfortunately, as soon as CS4 was released, Photoshop 7 ceased to be eligible for any upgrade.

BTW this is all covered in the FAQs

Creating a revolving clickable ''slide...

Hi All,

I want to create a clickable slide show similar to the one on this page:

http://www.canadiandriver.com

Now, I've found some javascript that make that happen

http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/show3.shtml

but I would also like the user to be able to control the show (move forward and back), ideally.

My inclination is to use javascript rather than Flash because I'd like people to be able to see the ''show'' using their PDAs/smart phones (this is a commercial site).

Recommendations?

Creating a revolving clickable ''slide...

You could simply get rid of the timeout and tie slideit() to a link of whatever kind using %26lt;a href=''javasctript:slideit()''%26gt;. i don#t have time for a detailed look, but that should sufficiently provide the functionality you seek.

illustrator colour separation

Hi, i need help separating an image's CMYK colours for print. At the moment i have no ideea how to do that, i do have a hunch how to in Corel but that's it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

illustrator colour separation

Usually, when you ask a commonly asked question, you'll get told to search.?This time however, you raise the bar.

Look at the post directly below your post.

illustrator colour separation

Document Color Mode should be CMYK. All swatches needing spot colour separation need to be defined as spot colours in the Swatches panel. You can convert spot colours to process when separating, so it's not as crucial to specify process colour swatches, but it's always a good idea.

File %26gt; Print. Your printer must be PostScript compatible. Adobe PostScript File qualifies. If you don't have a PostScript printer you can print to a PostScript and Distill in Acrobat Distiller or print to a PDF file, then print from Acrobat. Click on Output, then select Separation (Host-Based) next to Mode. Note the CMYK icon next to PANTONE Rubine Red C. This indicates I clicked on that icon in the dialogue to make that swatch print as a process colour.

Edit: Skip that last sentence.

archaic,

In addition to what has been said while I have been struggling with Firefox crashing upon Post Reply:

I would suggest your reading what the Fine Manual has to say about the subject. A search for Producing color separations will give you a stepwise basic introduction.

How do I change the default font for...

I finally figured out how to change the font for a new box, but I cannot figure out how to change the default.?Currently it is helvetica, and I found two places under preferences that allow a font change.?One allows me to change the default for sticky notes and call outs, but not the text box.

I used the control e mentioned in another thread and as?long as the tool window remains open I can use a different font, but as soon as I close that tool, the font reverts to helvetica.

How do I change the default font for...

I managed to do it, but it seems like a pretty convoluted way.?I created a text box, selected the text, changed the font and now the default is what I want.?This didn't work before and the only difference between working and not working is that I selected the text.

I would delete the thread but someone else might find it helpful.

By the way, this seems to change the default font for some other means of text entry.

Selecting conditional text in book...

You never know when it will occur or on which files .... I am in a book file and select several files, select View %26gt; Show/Hide Conditional Text, and change my condition settings, then click Apply.

Framemaker crashes. Sometimes three, four times in a row.

Yes I've made new files, etc., etc., and some others in our group have the same problems with conditional text in some books. This is not consistent behavior so that's why we scratch our heads.

I have 4GB of memory and an empty hard drive, so that's not the issue. We work off a network but the same thing can happen if I save a book locally.

What on Earth could be happening?

Selecting conditional text in book...

Pls let us know which version of FM, from Help %26gt; About, the ''pxxx'' numbers.

Selecting conditional text in book...

I have had this happen with version 9 and latest upgrades. It happened a few months ago, several times in a row. Has not happened since then. My ''way'' of getting out of the crashes was to select all the files in the book and then show all conditions. Save everything, and then apply the conditions I wanted. I was using expressions at the time. Maybe the expression was not well written.

For what it is worth, with version 9, I rarely resort to creating new files, etc (in my case copying the structure into a new, clean template file). Did it all the time with versino 7.2.

Good luck,

Van

9.0p237

Thanks for the tip, Van. I will try that!

I tried as Van suggested and unfortunately still crashed.

Some suggestions:

Have you done any tests with brand new FM files, using just the default template from FM, and apply some simple conditions, to see if the crash happens in simple files or perhaps it's confined to issues with your existing files?

Maybe there's something conflicting in your conditions -- you mentioned testing new files, but did you also test with brand new conditions, i.e. not importing your existing conditions.

Were the files you're having trouble with originally created in FM9, or were they updated from previous versions?

Do your files contain anything more complex, e.g. insets, referenced graphics, embedded links to other files such as PDF or Word or Excel?

When you change your condition settings, have you tried doing just one change at a time, then viewing and saving the docs, then another change?

Some files are new. Some files were ported from previous versions. Because the crashes are always different, it isn't always the same files or books where crashes occur. One never knows what will trigger the crash or when, as I mentioned. I've rebuilt files and had them crash, but someone else can use them (and change the same setting) without problems.

There's no discernible pattern.

Crashes for team members occur consistently at the book level. I seem to be the only person who can set conditions at the book level (though not consistently, as you can see). Crashes can occur for me at the book level or when I have a file open. Typically a file that crashes at book level also crashes with the file open.

I am trying to change one condition for these companion volumes (a set of three books that share some files). I successfully changed the condition a couple of hours ago.

Our network isn't backed up until very early in the morning and it's afternoon here -- that's not the issue. Nobody else is working on this project so that's not the issue.

Our templates have all of our conditions already defined so theoretically there shouldn't be conflicts. As I recall, a conflict triggers a notification when you update a book, and I successfully updated the companion book and printed to PDF a couple of hours ago.

Content doesn't seem to matter. The files in question consist of headings and tables. There are no graphics or linked files. The most sophisticated thing in them is cross-references (some conditional).

I just successfully changed the condition on all of the files in that chapter except one. The file that crashes Frame is very simple (no graphics or linked files, just cross-references) and it is one of the files that successfully switched conditions just a few hours ago.

Something else seems to be a culprit here. Can you share the file with the forum?
It will help us in pinpointing the exact cause of such intermittent crashes for you.

Thanks,

Nakshatra

I am unable to attach the file because the website gives the error ''The content type of this attachment is not allowed.'' It is a FrameMaker 9 file (.fm)

Oh..In that case you can directly mail me the files at - nbhardwa AT adobe DOT com.

FYI, to attach FM or MIF files, either place them in a zip file or add a ''.txt'' file extension, e,g, ''myfile.fm.txt'' to get around the Forum's brain-dead filters. It may also take hours to days to clear the virus scanning queue, but it will eventually get here.

Forum host

I had the same problem with FM7.?I don't know what caused it, but the cure in my case was to save the file as mif and then read it back in again.?No crashes after that.

Alas that's been tried, and the MIF also crashes.

.htaccess URL Rewriting causing...

Hi everyone!

We run an DW-Template-backed website, with approximately 40-50 Contribute users. We've recently been trying to employ some URL rewriting via the mod_rewrite ISAPI plugin for IIS6 (yes, yes, IIS is awful; I know. My admin is a Windows-trained guy. Oh well. :/). Normally, everything goes hunky-dory and edits occur just fine. So this problem is specifically related to Contribute failing with URL-Rewriting enabled.

Our problem is this:

Whenever I have URL-rewriting enabled, Contribute users are unable to edit any pages. Attempting to edit results in the program hanging, and then ultimately crashing entirely. Again, this ONLY occurs when URL Rewriting is enabled.

We've been able to fix this for SOME users, by simply adding in additional RewriteConditions that abort rewriting if the user_agent is MSIE 6.0 (my computer still has IE6, with standalone IE7) -- but I would rather not have to disable rewriting for all versions of IE, if at all possible.

Does anyone have any ideas about what we can do to prevent Contribute from crashing when URL rewriting is enabled? I have a feeling it's failing during the creation of the temporary draft files. Our contribute keys are set up to use SFTP, which should NOT be affected by rewriting AT ALL -- but if Contribute is instead using HTTP during file creation, that might be why.

any ideas? I tried calling Tech Support, but I don't think they are trained on things like this.

Thanks!

jrun or not jrun....

Hey guys.... so i have been a lame cfadmin for quite a while, and now i am trying to get back on horse...

here is a story, we moved to coldfusion8, which continue to run our completely disorganized application. my goal is to finally stop it and move toward good way with proper deployments and etc.... however every time i come back to get deep in coldfusion, i hit the same stones, which seem make sense to me after lot's of readings, yet - a week later i get all confused again..

so may be some one can point me in the good documentation, that explain all this in the plain english.

my frustrations are...

coldfusion or jrun!? to my knowledge, using jrun you can run bunch of coldfusion instances.

however then there are 2 places to administer them... one via jrun another via coldfusion admin interface, which are seem to have similar things but yet totally differnet

then application level... one way just to add mapping and point to your folder that has a cfm code, another way is to create a real/proper cfm application and then deploy it.

neither way, is clearly documented,?or has a straght forward way of doing general things of delaing with diferences betwen jrun or coldufsion. it is all seem very very flexible and overlapping that make me go nuts

seriously.... is this documented anywhere in a plain english version ? just like let's say apache - there is pretty much ONE way to do stuff is there similar approach to?coldfusion/jrun ?

thanks to all, and please forgive for this lame post.

Lots of PRE issues!

Hi!

I have been working with pre for almost three months, and am continually receiving a number of issues while working with the software. The footage I work with can be anywhere from 15m to 6H in length.

I currently run:

       

AMD Athlon™ Dual Core Processor 4050e

        2 GB RAM

        256 ATI Radeon x1300Pro

Vista

I also have two internal storage drives one full at 74 GB and one almost half full at 1TB

Before I start a project I defrag all of my relevant drives. And I always set the cache and scratch discs to achieve optimal performance.

The footage is from a Canon HG20

These are my problems:

·         I have consistently gotten “registry errors” or “low virtual memory” errors while I’m working. When the registry errors occur pre shuts down. When I get low virtual memory errors I promptly up my virtual memory and sometimes I’m fine sometimes I’m not and pre shuts down.

·         Exporting issues when burning to DVD; either from a previously exported avi file of the same project (as recommended in the manual when problems arise), or sometimes just straight to DVD export. There are areas where pixels on the DVD’s footage that just go corrupt, as in black pixel sections will just appear on the DVD’s disc menu that’s been exported but they aren’t present in the file. Or I have a clip of footage that when I play through the timeline like normal the clip is fine. But once it was exported the video disappeared completely

·         Rendering and exporting take forever! One file that was six hours long took about 15 days to render fully and another 2-3 days to export, and I used minimal effects. However some of my smaller files have issues as well. It recently took me a full 24 hrs to render 1 hr of footage with minimal effects.

·         I have also gotten a few error messages after or during export. In the past I hadn’t always written them down. The most recent error while exporting to a FLV occurred when it was saving:

“Desktop Display Mode has been reset because the video card returned an error

Please reset desktop display mode in the play back setting dialog as this may impact play back performance”

·         I also just recently received this error “The exception unknown sftw (90xc00000le) occurred in the application at location 0x22c10140”

I know I just put a lot out there. But if anyone has the time to reply that would be awesome!

Thanks!

Lots of PRE issues!

You are using AVCHD footage... you should keep your project under an hour... or even less. Make sure any photos are down-ressed to the frame size.

If you are exporting standard definition it will probaby solve a lot of problems if you convert your footage to standard definition, Your long export times are because PE7 is resizing every high definition frame down to standard definition. So by converting to standard definition your export times will be quicker and the program will be more stable. Obviously it will take time to convert your files.

Lots of PRE issues!

Paul has addressed your Assets. For your error messages, one thing missing from your system description is your Virtual Memory (Page File) setup, with size, location and how it's managed by Windows. Another bit of info is how your HDD's are utilized, i.e. OS and programs only on C:\, media, Project and Scratch Disks on D:\, plus your HDD's connections, i.e. SATA II w/ onboard controller chip. These can all be contributing factors.

For Registry errors, you likely have corruption in your Windows Registry. I use CCleaner to handle any Registry problems. There are other similar programs available.

To help track down some of these issues, you might find help in this ARTICLE.

Good luck,

Hunt

PS also note that Rendering speed is dependent on the CODEC's used (both to work with the media and also to Export to), the CPU and the Duration of the Project. Speaking of Duration of Project, your 6 hr. opus will require ~ 80GB just for the file. The necessary working files for PE will possibly be double that, while the Transcoding/Export is going on. Here, your I/O sub-system will come into play as data transfer rates need to be fairly high also. If it's also trying to manage the Page File, things can give.

Thanks for all the Help!

Unfortunately I am unable to keep my footage under an hour in most cases. When I am working with larger amounts of footage, as in the 6 hour files, I will typically shoot in the lower qualities that the camera allows for such as SP and LP, and will convert the footage to standard def accordingly. I raerly use photos.

The Virtual Memory setup changes as I go, often I will start out at 1500 and then be somewhere near the 3050 ball park. Yes my OS and programs are on my C:\ drive. The media, projects, and Scratch Disks are set on my 1 TB SATA drive.

I will say that there is something odd that occurs. Whenever I try and set the cache to the SATA drive, it will revert back to the C:/ drive. I have minimal working space available on my C drive, which is why I send everything to the TB. I’m imagining this is part of the problem. When I set the cache, it will take the entire time the window is open. But upon closing and reopening the window it will have reverted back to the C drive, for just the cache, nothing else. I guess this could mean I haven’t really set everything as correctly as I thought I did when creating the file.

I think when everything was said and done my 6H opus created 137GB folder. The TB SATA drive that I mostly work off of has a 7200 RPM transfer speed.

I read the thread that was suggested to me. And now I have another question in relation to it. I have for the life of me been trying to install Vista SP2, and it refuses to install. I’ve been going back and forth with the wonderful service representatives, and so far no dice. I do realize that I am asking a lot of the software in general. However how much weight does the numerous failed install attempts of SP2 have on the running of pre? Is this signifying more than what meets the eye?

Thanks Again!

Kira

Kira,

I do similar with a couple of large Projects. Everything regarding the Projects are on 2TB FW-800 externals, and I swap between my laptop and my workstation. The big difference is that I have 3x 200GB HDD's on the laptop and 2 are almost always empty. The workstation has 6x 1TB's and usually 4 are nearly always empty.

Have not heard of any SP-2 installation problems, but I mostly read the Adobe fora, so all I have to go on, is what Adobe users are experiencing. Could well be problems that others are having, but they're not posting to anything Adobe.

Good luck,

Hunt

Vista can corrupt, preventing you from updating. This is a very bad thing.

The solution is to put the Vista installation disk into your drive and do a repair install.

The good news: I've done it. It usually fixes everything (including funky behavior like you're seeing) and in most cases it won't affect the stuff that's on your hard drive.

The bad news: It is essentially a re-installation of the operating system so, once you're done, you'll need to go to Windows Update several times to get all of the updates (often rebooting between updates).

I used to get your Display error with my x1650 card. There are several different possibilites to fix this issue, most required being able to get into the advanced bios setup. For me I had to up my voltage to resolve the issue.  A google on the problem will give many things to try. I hope this helps.

Pop up glossary definition upon hover

Is there a way to make glossary definitions appear in a pop-up when the user hovers over them, as opposed to using the standard expanding text format?

I'm using RoboHelp 7 and producing FlashHelp output.

Not really. Not without a LOT of tweaking.

Why does the Lightroom folder in my...

While trying to figure out why I am running out of space on my HD I found that Lightroom is using 124.3GB to catalog my pictures.

If this is normal can I move this Folder to a scratch disk to save space on my HD? I am a nature photograher with 131000 previews in my Library.

Why does the Lightroom folder in my...

If you have 1:1 preview for all 131,000 of your images or a large percentage of same then there is a fair chance that that's the reason why your catalog folder is so large.

When space is tight it might be worth considering the removal of those previews that you don't need to regular access to at 1:1. The standard-sized previews will remain after purging the?1:1 previews. The alternative, which you identified, would be to move the entire folder (catalog and previews) to a disk with more free space. Once the move is complete you need only double click the moved catalog file to relaunch Lightroom with the correct version of the catlog. Lightroom will remember the new catalog location.

Why does the Lightroom folder in my...

Thank you Ian.

I copied the files to a backup drive and deleted the files on my HD. The operation was a success and my Lightroom library has a new home.

Should I decide to eliminate some 1:1 previews, how do I identify those files in the folder

Gratefully.

Malcolm

Malcolm-

You'd select a range of photos, then tell LR to delete the 1:1's, and it will do so for you.

Malcolm-

Did you prune yet?

And, did you post under a different name a few weeks ago? The only reason I ask is the number ''131,000 images'' sticks in my mind as I replied to another chap (or you!) with that same number.

loading external swf, how to deal with...

I have a Flex app that basically lets you browse a bunch of thumbnails that represent swf files, when you click a thumbnail it opens a window that loads the actual swf into an image control. The problem I have is that these swfs can be uploaded by our clients, so they may have actionscript errors being thrown, etc. We can't really predict what they may do. Is there a way I can load these swf in such a way as to ignore any errors that the loaded swf may generate within itself.

For example, one such swf reads some text from a text file to display, but when they are viewing it in this manner the file isn't there so a stream error is generated. My parent Flex app doesn't care about this error and I don't want to see it thrown up in an actionscript error box (I have debug verison loaded on my PC obviously) or interfere with the parent app in any way.

Would application domains help at all? Would it make a difference if I loaded the swf into a separate domain? Or is there some way I can generically trap any error coming from the loaded swf and just ignore them?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Marcus

loading external swf, how to deal with...

There is no way to catch errors thrown at random times. Remember that most folks have the release player which does not show error dialogs.

Specify Subject and File Name when...

Hello,

I'm using an E-Mail Submit button in my form, and I'd like to specify the Subject of the E-Mail and File Name of the file attached to the e-mail when the form is submitted.

I know I can do this by using a regular button and mailDoc, but that allows me to send the form in pdf.?My clients only have the reader, so I need to be able to send the data in XML format.

The reason why I like using the E-Mail Submit Button is that I can easily ensure that all required fields are non-blank.

So again, how can I specify the Subject of the E-Mail and the File Name of the attached form when using an E-Mail Submit Button?

Thanks

Markus

Flash's published HTML (+js) won't work...

I have created a Flash file that consists of nothing but an FLVPlayback control that loads a .flv file. I then use the default publish settings to publish the .swf. The resulting HTML file opens, displays properly, and plays the movie in IE7, FF3.0, and Chrome 2.0. However, when I open it in Safari 3.0.4, I see nothing; just a blank page. Safari has FP10 installed and has no problems displaying Flash content on any other web sites, e.g. iTunes, Apple. Adobe, or YouTube). I don't have IE8 to test on (I installed it and it hosed my whole system, so it's been eradicated).

I am loading the file locally from the file system; I want to make sure it works before I publish it. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but I don't see how it could. The AC_RunActiveContent.js script is present and getting loaded (I wish I were right now ).

Has anyone else experienced this or know what the problem might be? I am including the entirety of the HTML content it generated here for reference (I have changed the tag brackets to braces just so it will post here).

Flash Player Removal Problems

I have been having problems with flash player since I updated to 10. I downloaded the uninstaller and followed instructons exactly. I then followed instructions exactly to install 10. It installed fine. But it started crashing my IE8. I have tried everything. Now, I have it uninstalled but I noticed there is a folder, downloaded program files, that seem to have parts of the old flash player still. But it will not let me delete them. and the files that they say are dependant on them I cannot locate either..Under the status, instead of saying installed it says unknown.it also says this for the file when I click properties..Type:Active X control.Codebase:http//fpdownload2/macromedia.com/get/flashplay/current/swflash .cab.Is this what is causing my problem.PLEASE HELP ME. I am using Vista Home Premium 32 bit.I don't download a lot of junk. I use this computer for my school mostly and I am using Norton.Please I am at my wits end...Thank you for your time and patience

Question before I purchase

I am looking to purchase Adobe Ilustrator. I currently have Adobe Acrobat Pro on my computer. Do I need to have the Acrobat Pro there? Or can I give it to a friend to use?

Question before I purchase

If you will be needing to make a multiple page document of pdf files, you will be needing

Acrobat Pro. Illustrator can open one pdf file page but it stops there.

Question before I purchase

Thank you.

Illustrator can open a multiple page pdf with a script and there are multiple page pdf have been something you can do with Illustrator for many versions
in CS 4 it is much easier since it has Multiple art boards, which can behave like multiple pages.

However do not give Acrobat Pro to your friend you may have very good use for it especially since it has a good integration with Illustrator.

Just to thow in another vote: If you do print-centric stuff, Acrobat Pro is a real life saver, so by all means, keep it around. Illustrator tries its best, but since it isn't a page layout program after all, you will find you need to do some things in Acro.

Date Validation

Hi,

I tried the code above to validate the date.?I am still getting the same response:?it does not insert the record into the DB2 database, and it does not return and error message for the user.?I prefer to have the validation occur onBlur (in addition to server side validation), but have not been able to get that to work.?Some of the other elements on validated onSubmit.

Thank you for your help,

Jeanne

HI

It seems like validateat=''onblur'' wont work if the type is date field

you can try the following

%26lt;cfinput type=''datefield'' name=''SURVEY_DATE'' validateat=''onsubmit'' size=''10'' maxlength=''10'' required=''yes'' validate=''date'' message=''Please enter a date!''%26gt;

(note that?required=''yes'' is the correct syntax not validate=''required'')

The above code will work onsubmit

But as you said if you prefer to provide validation onblur you can use js function called on blur

code snippet is as follows

%26lt;script language=''javascript'' type=''text/javascript''%26gt;
function checkDate()
{

if(document.getElementById(''SURVEY_DATE'').value == '''')
?{
alert(''Please enter a date!'');
document.getElementById(''SURVEY_DATE'').focus();
?}
}
%26lt;/script%26gt;

%26lt;cfinput type=''datefield'' name=''SURVEY_DATE'' id=''SURVEY_DATE'' validateat=''onsubmit'' size=''10'' maxlength=''10'' required=''yes'' validate=''date'' message=''Please enter a date!'' onBlur=''checkDate()''%26gt;

Multiple Signature Blocks one Signature

I am using adobe 9 pro and built a form with multiple signature blocks on multiple pages of the form.?I would like to know if you can have the signature blocks there but only sign the form once. If so how can I make this happen.?Any takers a big Thank You in advance. Matt

Looking at AIR for a project

I'm beginning development on an application that I intend to sell

and am wondering if AIR is an appropriate platform.

I need to be able to play audio, read a local sqlite3 database

and issue get/puts to the internet.?I've done some work with a

Flex app and I don't have any doubt all of these things

are possible.

What I am concerned about is whether AIR is an appropriate

platform for commercial applications.?I'm not actually too concerned

about a clever person decompiling since that could happen with

Java or .Net code as well.

Is anybody selling/deploying commercial applications in AIR?

Hi,

I do know of a commercial AIR product that has had its share of success as well: http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups

Why is it so hard to get any help from...

As you know you canceled my order.

I have sent you two documents solving what you say is a problem with no recignition of receiving them or any comments.

I have sent you numerous contacts over the last two weeks to get this problem resolved.

YOU JUST CANCELED MY ORDER.

I CAN'T WORK LIKE THIS.

ANYONE READING THIS MAY WANT TO ORDER FROM ANOTHER COMPANY.

I paid 3200.00 for CS3 and can't change software now. I am stuck. An upgrade should not be so difficult.

I AM WRITING TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY FOR HELP TODAY.

HOW CAN YOU BE IN BUSINESS LIKE THIS?

Probably something simple I'm over...

Hi,

I'm trying to get a button located in a MC (which is manually dropped on the main stage) to enable a button located on the main stage thats not in that MC.

Here is the code I have on the actions layer of the main swf:

q1_mc.true_btn.onRelease = function() {
?frwd_btn.enabled=true;

}

q1_mc is a quiz question that contains the true_btn

I want the frwd_btn which is outside of the mc and on the main stage to be enabled when they click true or answer the question in the quiz.

I have tried using _parent and _root for the frwd_btn but can't seem to get it to work.

I hope this makes sense.

I know it has to be something I'm just over looking.

Thanks,

Adam

Probably something simple I'm over...

That code would be correct for targeting the the frwd_btn from that code's timeline as long as that's the timeline fwrd_btn lives on.?And if q1_mc also lives on that timeline, that code is also correct in that respect.?A couple thing to be mindful of... make sure your instance name s are correct for all parties involves.... make sure that the objects that that code is working for exist when it does--if something lives down a timeline somewhere, that code isn't seeing it, and vice versa.

Probably something simple I'm over...

Ok yeah I looked back in the code and figured out I have some other code for the true_btn in the q1_mc.

Thanks! Been a long day.

You're welcome
