How to preview individual artboards?

Hi.
Can somebody tell me how to configure the Adobe Bridge CS4 so that it shows/views/displays individual art boards (that I can scroll thru) and NOT the whole *.ai file (which contains ALL the art boards)?
I want to preview the individual art boards as a larger image, and when they all appear together in the *.ai file, they appear smaller.
At the bottom of this page:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/illustrator/articles/lrvid4016_ai.html
it says;
"To view documents, open Adobe Bridge and select an Illustrator document from the Content panel. A larger view of the document appears in the Preview panel located to the right of the Content panel. When viewing an Illustrator file with multiple artboards, click the right-facing arrow below the preview to display each of the artboards."
I do not have this arrow, so therefore no option. On my bridge, all artboards appear together. How do I separate them and get the arrow he is talking about?
TIA.

Remember, Bridge is nothing more than Photoshop's old File Browser, spruced up a bit to be able to market it as a tool for the artificial suite concept.
The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

Interesting, looks like you also need to save the file with Create PDF Compatible File checked in the Illustrator options dialog when saving - the sample files were saved without PDF compatibility, so no individual artboard preview.
I resaved the sample file In the Cradle of the Deep with Create PDF Compatible File checked, and it shows the artboard previews individually.

How to preview ENTIRE video (basic question but its not working)

Hi
Ive been fiddling with this for over 2 hours and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to preview the entire video. All I can get are the clips. When I click the source tab it only allows me to select individual clips not the whole track. How on earth do I preview the entire video?
Thank you!
And for bonus marks, is there a way to slim down the sides of the video (there are black bars in the native file) and re-render it? E.g. Change a video from 720x480 to 720x380 but not by shrinking the whole file, but rather trimming the sides (Sony Vegas can do this so Im wondering if Premiere can too)

You are most welcome, and glad that it helped.
Craig has addressed how to get another color. [It pays that he's in NZ, and is about 2 days ahead of me in the US... ]
Depending on the effect that you want, you might also consider doing an "abstract" background, rather than a single, flat Color Matte. The choice will depend on what you want to do, and probably also on your material. When faced with vertical images in a "SlideShow," I use this often, and will often use it for all images in a SlideShow. This ARTICLE goes into more detail, just in case you might want to do something similar.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to distinguish individual rows in a view?

As well known, we can use rowid to distinguish individual rows in a table. However, who know how to distinguish individual rows in a view? For there are not rowid in a view.

I'm not sure I usnderstand your question, or at least I hope I don't.
We do not use ROWID to distinguish rows in a table: we use unique iodentifiers, that is primary keys. A primary key is stable across the lifetime of a record: a rowid is guaranteed only for the lifetime of a transaction, and then only if we have locked that row.
From this it follows, we should so design our views that each row in the view has a column, or combination of columns, that uniquely identify it.

Can you change the canvas size in AI CC . If so how? Not the artboard but the canvas behind it. I have a large cad drawing.

Vandushia,
The Workspace size is fixed, 16,384 points.
I am afraid you will have to work in a suitable scale, which could be 1:2, 1:4, 1:10, or whatever is most convenient.

How to generate individual HTML files from linked help?

Hi folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to generate individual web pages - based on heading types - from a help project this is linked to a FrameMaker book.
I'm linking to the FM book, rather than importing, because the import process ruins my graphics. So, I know how to create individual web help pages using the import process; but that's not an option for me. (The graphics issue is a whole other discussion, which I've since given up on.)
So, I'm using TCS 3.5 (RH9 and FM10). I've successfully linked to the FM book. Each topic represents a complete chapter and includes a single Heading 1 for the title and several Heading 2's. Again, these are all in the same help topic because I'm linked to the FM book.
What I want to do is generate the web help so that new web pages (files) are created. In other words, I want breaks before each Heading 2. I want the resulting web pages to be named based on the Heading 2.
Is this possible?
Thanks for reading,
Tom

I’m not sure I understand the problem (I’m using FM 10, RH9, TCS3): You can adjust .isf and all Conversion/CSS mapping, etc settings for an existing project (Linked or Imported) at:
File > Project Settings > FrameMaker Document > Edit Conversion settings for FrameMaker documents: (click Edit button).
Then, Go to FrameMaker Settings > Paragraph > Heading 1 etc. and click the box for Pagination.
What I don’t know is if you have to re-do your linking process from scratch to do your pagination settings right the first time (like create a new project with your Frame docs, which shouldn’t be hard to test if you have saved your CSS, Master Pages etc), or already have an .isf file with proper settings that you can specify at time of first import/linking. I already had these in place when I set up my linked project of a Frame book with 13 chapters – 350 pages – resulting in over 300 separate HTML files/topics (set H1, H2, and H3 levels to paginate). I don’t know if you can change these things post-linking, but it can definitely be done!
There is definitely no reason to have to have an entire FM chapter as one topic in RH. You may have to create a new project to achieve your desired results, I am not sure.
I hope this is helpful. Regarding RH ruining your images, I know what you mean. Through a painstaking process of research, trial, and error, I found that these Image options in the Conversion Settings produced the best results for me, though not as good as “ideal:”
·         Check the box for “Use Distiller to Generate Image”
·         Leave the “Do Not Regenerate Images” and “Preserve 3D Images” boxes unchecked
·         Under Preferred Dimensions: Check “Maintain Aspect Ratio” and check Width and Height – Set both to 0pt. (*This one was a key tip.) Leave “Scale” unchecked. (Scaling seems to do terrible things in RH.)
·         I left the Max Dimensions settings unchecked.
·         Set my personal preferences for margins (2pt all sides) and borders (solid, gray, 1 pt)
·         Under Advanced, Default format of PNG with color bit depth of 24. My graphics are all screenshots, so this is the reason for this in my instance.

Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

How to preview WWI Label templates?

Dear Experts,
Normally for MSDS templates I know that there is preview option in CG42 transaction by which we can verify the changes that we are making whether they are correct or not however for WWI label templates, I am unable to preview using that option. Any idea how to preview them?
Devdatt

Dear Devdatt
did you use "Label Wizard"? Normally there is no difference in CG42 between "normal" report and label
Which parameter do you populated in CG42? Doe you have maintained data ? The test of label documents in WWI is the most complex one in EHS

I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing?

I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing? It was under the "OBJECTS" menu in CS2, but I can't find it in CS5.

it actually works the same way but better you don't see it that way but with perhaps more experience you might catch on and say "oh now I see that' all I have to do.
Multiple artboards, which you did not have in CS 2 , changes the equation.
When you open a new document you can set up a gangup in the new document dialog then say for a business card then do one business card in the first one.
Then copy the art and text of that first one and in one command paste that art in all of the artboards with one command, you can then make another artboard that encompasses all the artboards and you now have a gang up say six up you can now print all a once as a gang up or print a range of the artboards or specific artboards.
As a matter of fact now that you can paste on all artboards with one command AI CS 5 actually has a step and repeat feature that works verticaly and horizontally at the same time. And an improved version is easily had.
Also since you probably know how many you need of this first artboard then you can simply make one rectangle for for the first artboard and give it a crop area effect and when you do your copy include the rectangle and then paste on all artboards and there you are
look at the video, see how cool. less complicated not more complicated. And as other users explore this function I bet they come up with even better ideas.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/Artboards.mov
I am going to make one adjustment here instead of doing a command c to copy the first artboard it would be better to do a command x to cut the first one since the command paste on all artboard does exactly that. So if you do a command c and a command option shift v then you have two rectangles and art and crop marks pasted on top of each other. Probably won't do any harm but might be confusing in the layers panel.

How to preview the emails in List View

Click on the emails icon. openan account, and you will see all the emails in the view:
Once you see all the emails.
Place one finger on top (near the time stamp)
Place second finger or thumb at the horizontal line separating the emails and drag down. AND you will see the email under there.
You can actaully see the email without even opening it. It also means that even though we do not see the complete email, it is always there.
I found out this on PreCentral.net - cool feature. I tried and it works for me the very first trial.

[How-to] Create multiple Artboards in existing document?

Herro,
I'm wondering how to create multiple artboards at once in an existing document. I can manually re-arrange them later, that's fine. But I often find myself needing to create 20+ artboards for some of my complex projects.
Currently, adding those 20+ artboards manually is a pain as you can imagine.
Help?
Cheers.

open the Artboards panel. (Window->Artboards)
then down the bottom start clacking away at the new artboard button.

Ed...maybe a little less time gaming and a bit more time in English class? They got this thing called punctuation and sentences now. Last things first; there is no amount of money that can change your GPU so you can scratch that expense off the list. So you need a battery and a fan? Where do you live? USA? We can help you find a battery but where did you plan to have the new fan put in?

HT201250 How do I restore photos from Time Machine? All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file. I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file. Any idea

How do I restore photos from Time Machine? All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file. I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file. Any ideas?

You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library. What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date. If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library. Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
Not tidy but it seems it will work.
Ciao.

If you mean tethered shooting that's possible with Lightroom, but only with a select few Nikon/Canon/Leica models. I'm afraid the D60 isn't on the list: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
