Coding with Vector file, Convert from PSD to AI or Start over from Scratch?

I have an App developer that is requesting an .AI file for developing an App that can be utilized on all the following Apple hardware (iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPod touch, iPad, iPad mini). He is insisting on it, because of the vector file. I have a design file that was completed in a layerd PSD. I want to know what, if any, quality is lost from converting from PSD to .AI vector file? Would it be better to have the Designers strach over from Scratch? Please Advise!
Thanks for your help

Depends on what type of layers are in the .psd. Certain layers type can convert to vector quality (shape layers, type layers, smart objects).
You also should ask the devloper about bitmnapped effects (eg: drop shadow) and placed images, if they are ok to use.

I was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 (?) in order to make word files converted from pdf editable. how do i do this?

i was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 from adobe in order to make files converted from pdf to word using the recently bought and installed adobe pdf exporter file. how/where do i do this?

Currently the Acrobat version is "XI" (no "12").
With Acrobat XI installed:
"File - Save As Other" --- from here you pick the supported file format for the export.
If a PDF has content that is the output of a scanner then that output (as is the case for All scanners' output) is a picture of text and not real text.
During an export all that can be processed is the picture. As a picture of text is not text it is understandable why Word (or other word processors) cannot edit the content.
So, for such, prior to export run Acrobat's OCR and save.
The export will be of the OCR content.
Do expect to do clean of the text, spelling, punctuation, layout etc.
This may be minor. This may be major. But, there will be some.
Adobe as some online subscription services that can take a "proper" PDF (NOT all are eh) and export to supported file formats.
Two are "ExportPDF" and "PDF Pack".
Be well...

Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:

Aspect ratio issues in iDVD with mov files exported from FCE

Please help. I believe this is an iDVD bug. I have found some relevant discussion of it on online forums - but have not found a solution that works for me. I am looking for a workaround.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356500&tstart=31
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
My 4:3 movies, exported from FCE in QT-with-conversion formats (any 4:3 format) - appear in iDVD with gray side-pillars (as expected for 4:3) AND with a black line (letter-boxing) at top and bottom - as would be for 16:9. It appears the aspect ratio is also distorted i.e. 16:9. (The iDVD project is set to 4:3.)
1- A 4:3 mov file exported from FCE using Quicktime Movie format (no conversion) does not have the problem, but I cannot de-interlace the video using this export mode.
2) A 4:3 mov file exported using QT-with-conversion mode (any 4:3 format) DOES have the problem. I need to use this mode in order to get de-interlace.
(Exception: 640x480 VGA mode does not have the black lines, and it displays correctly in dvd player on my computer screen - but on the TV screen, it crops content from the top and bottom of the movie, so this is not an option.)
3) In Finder, if you click on mov file exported QT-only (no conversion), it opens in the FCE viewer. If you click on mov file exported in any other 4:3 mode, it opens in Quicktime viewer (i.e. there is absolutely something different in the header/ID of these files.)
4) All mov files, regardless of export mode, show correctly in Quicktime viewer - no black line, no distortion. The problem does not occur outside of iDvd.
5) I tried passing the QT-with-conversion mov files through an Inverse-Anamorphicizer (per suggestion on forum - this apparently fixed the problem for some people) but the resulting output mov (i.e. the inverted product) still had the same problem.
I am, so far, left with this trade-off: Give up the de-interlacing, or live with the letter-boxing/ distortion. Neither is acceptable.
I am looking for a workaround:
1) A way to export de-interlaced 4:3 mov from FCE that shows in correct ratio in iDVD
2) A way to "convert" / re-head mov file after exported so that it displays corrrectly (inverse-anamorphicize) so that iDVD reads it correctly
3) Can the mov be de-interlaced after the fact (so I could use QT export without conversion)?
4) Something besides iDVD to put this together - that doesn't have this problem? (I like and want to use the iDVD menu/theme.)
5) Other?????
I also notice that all the QT-with-conversion mov files are 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the QT-only mov file, which is valuable and preferable to me. (I don't see any quality difference in the display...)

In the Preview window > top frame > middle button
do you have correct for pixel aspect ratio checked or not?

Apple ProRes HQ files (converted from HDV) will not play in Premiere Pro

I was working on a project in premier pro and finished a draft on 12/24 with no issues. I took these file directy from their coverted state as .mov files into the PP project and edited on the timeline with no issues. Shut down on 12/24. Opened project today, none of the files from the HDV converted format will play correctly OR export correctly. They are all Black video and still contain the right audio.
As a side note here, this is the same for trying to play the file in Quicktime AND in Apple's Final Cut Pro 7.
The only files affected are those that were uploaded and coverted to Apple ProRes HQ from the HDV format.
Again, this was working and functioning fine un Tuesday, now they appear black in the timeline and viewers.
Only change made to ANYTHING on my iMac is: Updated iTunes on Tuesday after I had closed the project from Premiere Pro.
Please help!!!
Thankyou,
Clede

Only change made to ANYTHING on my iMac is: Updated iTunes on Tuesday after I had closed the project from Premiere Pro.
Sounds like a clue.
Apple / Mac updates have a history of creating issues and plenty of evidence supports that statement.
My guess its a QT version issue.

.mov files converted from .mkv have no sound?

I had a .mkv file compressed from a while back and converted it to a .mov (H.264) file. There is no sound, although the video is perfect. I tried to convert another file and it did the same thing - no sound, just dead silence.
Why is this happening?

Conversion of video can be slow on any computer, obviously older and lower end equipment will be the slowest.
.mov is a container for video, audio and other types of files, before you can carry out any conversions you need to know the format of the video and audio tracks within that container as not all conversion software will deal with all formats. Let us know more about your video and we can make suggestions for suitable software.

Files converted from m4a to mp3 are not displaying correctly in feed

hi; i recently produced my first show in garageband (after using a bunch of other audio apps in the past), exported to an m4a file, and converted to mp3 in itunes, but it is not showing up as an audio file in my feed.
the feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/wellroundedradio and my blog posting on it is http://wellroundedmedia.blogspot.com
is there something you need to do when converting from m4a to mp3 in itunes to make sure the settings are all correct so it will be enclosed as an audio file? i have tested other mp3 files in the feed and they are working fine.
thx, charlie

thanks. yes, i think that's what has been so tricky about this. i add a link to an mp3 in blogger, but feedburner doesn't add this particular show as an enclosure, so it's not updating in the feed. can't seem to find where the origin of the problem, though...is it blogger, feedburner, or the mp3 file or...?

Artifacts in DNG files converted from NEF

On two occasions, I've encountered artifacts in my photos that I've converted from NEF (using Nikon D7000) to DNG format in Lightroom 3.6. Is there a "fix" for this?

Yes, you're correct. It sounds perfectly feasible to keep a checksum in the database for other file types. I voted for your idea.
Here's an interesting article: http://dpbestflow.org/data-validation/dng-validation
Currently, the only way to check a large number of DNGs is to run the free DNG converter on them, which can take a long time and requires disk space for the second copies. The Adobe SDK has a function for checking the checksums, so it sounds like a relatively easy task to write a small app that would validate an entire directory tree containing DNGs. That could be quite fast and would be a good thing to run periodically.

Lose color with canopus 300 converter from computer to TV

I have a new Sharp 15 in TV to use with FCE so I can see my movie on an analogue TV and edit color appropriately. The TV works well as a stand alone or when connected to a deck. But when I connect the Canopus advc-300 converter to my computer and put my FCE movie through the converter to the TV, I lose yellows and greens in the signal bar and throughtout the movie. I know it is not the TV causing the problem. So I am guessing my settings are not right on the converter. The Canopus help site is down because of some sort of transfer to Grass Valley and has been down for several days. Does anyone use this converter and know what I am doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated
Imac G5 Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, I have the manual and have been trying to make sense of it.
All dip switches were off, but I took your advice and turned on the 7.5 IRE.
Yes, it is in Digital mode and has been. When I hold it down for 3 seconds I get the bar code with no yellows or greens. Then the movie does not start, just the bar code. So I toggle that off and try again and the movie does not play on the TV screen.
I have the Easy Set up for out to DV converter. I am using a component cable and red and white cables for audio.
I always turn the converter off before I do anything.
3D processing and 3D noise reduction light up only if converting from analogue to digital, so that never lights when in DV mode.
It worked a day ago with the lousy color but then I thought it was my TV, but checked the TV out with cable input and with a deck and a DVD I had made and it is fine, the color is good.
So I deleted my recent FCE preferences from my Library, restarted and am in the fix I am in now.
I appreciate your advice, but no luck so far. Any more advice would be very much appreciated.

Difference between AAC and m4a files, converting from AAC to useable format

Does anyone know the difference between AAC and m4a files? iTunes has an option to use an AAC encoder to compress CD files, but this creates an m4a file not an AAC file. I just got some actual AAC files and iTunes cannot read these, is there a way to convert from AAC to a format that iTunes recognizes? Thanks

iTunes uses AAC data wrapped in an MPEG 4 container file. If you got some *.AAC files, and they're just raw AAC files, then you need to wrap them in an MPEG 4 container. The only way I know to do this is using the foobar 2000 program. You can find more information at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org and http://www.foobar2000.org

Need a file converted from InD CS5 to InD CS4...

Had someone do some work for me and their source file came as a CS5 InDesign version 7 file (I think)... which I cannot open in CS4 InD version 6. Is there such as thing as file converter of some kind or do I need to have them or someone else open it in CS5 and save it in some compatible format?

Yes (well, to the 2nd part of your question).
Ask someone who has a CS5 to save it as IDML, or (always an option!) download the fully functional trial of CS5, and you have about 30 days to do it yourself.

My files are a mess - how can I start over in iTunes?

Over the years, my music files have become scattered all over between different locations on my internal drive and various externals. I have tons of duplicates, lost files, and it's just a general mess.
I would like to do a search for all my music files, and completely start over with iTunes and keep them on my MacBook Pro. I have room on my internal (or would, if they were oranized properly and I got rid of duplicates!) but a lot of the files that show up on iTunes are on an external so of course it will ask me where they are. This is driving me crazy and I want to just scrap everything and start over fresh.
I have a 1TB external that I can dump them all on while I change over.
Any suggestions on the best way to do this would be welcome, as well as whether there are programs available that would help with this (or is it just as doab;e without a separate application).
TIA, Alicia Morgan

basically, the question is: does iTunes know where all these files are ? or does iTunes show a "!" next to any files ?

once you have gotten rid of dupes and located the lost files, you could consolidate your library:
(a) go iTunes > preferences > advanced and make sure
o iTunes media folder location is pointing to the iTunes music folder on your startup disk
o +keep iTunes media folder organized+ is checked
o +copy files to ... when adding to library+ is checked
(b) have any external HD holding any of your media files is mounted on your desktop
(c) go file > library > organize library > consolidate files
if the option to +upgrade to iTunes media organization+ is available, select that too.

Problem with files converted from m4a to mp3

Here's what happened: I recorded the a in Garageband, exported it to disk then to iTune & converted it to MP3 as I usually do to distribute my demos. The MP3 files works fine on iTune on my iMac but when I downloaded it to my PC and tried to play it on WMP, all it did was jump.
I actually upgraded iTunes & other Mac softwares lately... Could this be the reason why the MP3 converter won't work ?

Hi, I have adobe acrobat pro 9 (yes older version) with error to convert from word

on win7 64bit. but when I try to convert a word file to pdf. I get error PDF MAKER. When I print a test page from word to pdf printer it does correct. Word is 2007
When I go to my acrobat. And I press combine from word I get the error.
When I combine from other pdf it all works.
So it is the conversion from word to acrobat creating the error.
The exact error messag I get is next:

I don't believe that Acrobat 9 is compatible with the 64bit version of Windows 7, which might cause integration errors, like the one you're describing.
The solution is to upgrade to the latest version.

Important wmv / files converted from wmv to avi into imovie - PROBLEM!

Hi there,
I feel like I'm going insane with this.
I had the same problem on '08 as I do on '09.
I make youtube videos and I am trying to open some clips that were edited on a PC by other youtube users (who have emailed them to me for a group project). They won't open in imovie. If I convert the file to .avi or .m4v or even .mp4 using Handbrake, they still won't import into imovie.
I don't know what to do and there aren't that many threads about this online.
The closest I've got is this information I found on one thread:
iMovie '08 will only allow you to to import files containing compression formats that can be edited. If your AVI file won't import, it likely means that the audio and/or video data is not editable. To import it, you will have to first convert it to any of the acceptable compression formats. For video this means DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264.
Can anyone help me?
I've wasted such a lot of time on this.
I have Flip4Mac (free) and I can't export a wmv file on it unless I buy Quicktime Pro but I'm loathe to buy it on the offchance by converted file still won't open in imovie
I hope to hear from someone soon.
Many thanks,
Emily

Hi Em and welcome to the forums!
On this one issue I may be able to help:
I have Flip4Mac (free) and I can't export a wmv file on it unless I buy Quicktime Pro
Nope, QT Pro does not export to wmv, but the PAID FOR version of Flip4Mac does that conversion!
