InDesign CS6: Is it possible to create a pdf in which the version for printing is different from that on the screen?

hello,
Everything is in the title!
The idea is to make a pdf that I send to clients by email, very graphic with colored backgrounds but when printed, the background becomes white to save ink. Similarly to the change of color of the text.
For example, on the screen when I open a pdf I see white text on a blue background but the impression we see black text on white background.
thank you

hi Bob,
With a little delay & my apologies, anyway, after a little test, your solution works very well. thx!!
A more flexible solution was given to me on the French forum by Mr. JR Boulay
"We need to generate 2 PDF, one with color and one in black and white. Open the PDF with Acrobat b & w and in the layers palette ask "Import as Layer" color PDF.
Who will come on top. In the Layer Properties it only remains to define the PDF / color layer as "not printable."
It will just be careful that the color PDF has no white background because in PDF it means transparency and thus we see through ...
(Just use black backgrounds at 1% to fix this problem). "

TFS 2010 Branching - Is it possible to create a child branch with latest version of specific code alone from parent branch?

Hi,
QUERY:
I've 'MAIN' code base as parent branch.
From 'MAIN' parent branch, I need to create multiple child 'Development' branches (Dev1, Dev2,etc..) for consecutive releases.
I don't want Child branch creating with entire code from Parent branch. i.e Each DEVELOPMENT branch should not be a full branch of MAIN.
Is it possible to create child branches with specific code from Parent.
For example:
MAIN -> Parent branch contain Project1, Project2,...........Project10.
DEV1 -> Child branch which contains Project2 and Project3 alone.
DEV2 -> Child branch which contains Project2, Project5, Project6, Project7, Project8 alone.
NOTE:
I'm trying to create a 'Basic branching Plan' to maintain the Source Code in TFS, for consecutive release with concurrent development.
i.e
MAIN <--- FI & RI -----> Dev1, Dev2, Dev3
MAIN <------- RI alone ---| Release1, Release2, Release3
I'm new to TFS, please advice for the above mentioned branching specific query.
Also, if possible, please suggest me the best branching strategy according to my need.
Regards,
Riswan Babu

Hi Riswan,
It's unavailable to branch a folder or team project partly, it always copying the same source code from its parent when you create a branch in your team project. For you requirement, you might try the methods below to see if it works for you:
1. Since the DEV1 and DEV2 have different, you can have two folders(like MAIN) in your team project and each folder include the projects/solutions you need. No need to create two branches that include different projects
2. Create two branches from Main, and delete the additional projects that you want to keep. Then develop with the branches separately.
3. Or create the branches from Main but keep all the content, just modify the projects you need in each branch. The difference will merge back in root branch if you need to merge back finally.
For release, you can create sub-branches from the two branches you created as you requirement. And you can check the links below for more information about branching and merging:

Is it possible to create a PDF with different colors for screen and printing?

I'm working on a document that features light colored text on a dark background. I'll be sending this document as a PDF to someone who will likely want to print it. Is it possible to set up the document such that it will display this way when viewed on screen, but will print as black text on a white background, without requiring any special action on the part of the recipient?
Printing a color separation of just the text color produces exactly the results I'm after, but I can't ask the recipient to do that. I need it to happen automatically any time it's printed.
I've tried setting up a duplicate text layer in black and placing it under the background layer, then setting the background layer and colored text to 'never print'. This works within Acrobat Pro, but not when I print the same document from Preview.
Is there an acrobat equivalent of a CSS print stylesheet?
Thanks.

Create the document in layers with the background on a seperate layer than the text. Export the PDF with"Create Acrobat Layers" selected (it will need to be at least version 1.5).
Open the PDF in Acrobat, choose the background layer then Options>Properties>Initial State and under "print" choose "Never prints".

How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
Hopefully someone can answer my question.

George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
Does this sound possible to you?

InDesign CS6 EPub export: Possible to avoid object styles?

After upgrading to CS6 I've been having issues with the new EPub export command. After expanding the EPUB file that was created I noticed all of the achored objects had been given their own, unique DIV classes in the default CSS file (ie the one now named after the INDD file) that included a bunch of formatting that I didn't want carried over from the print layout.
I gather this is being called a new 'feature', but there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it. I thought the whole point of being able to use your own CSS file was to make a clean break from the styles applied in the print layout? I tried deleting the entire default CSS file and recompressing the EPUB and this actually seems to work (although I'm not sure why it does, since I would have thought that the unique class names wouldn't match with any defined in my basic CSS file?), although I'd prefer to avoid having to break the files open in the first place.
Or am I missing something?
Thanks!

Ron Bilodeau who creates EPUB files for O'Reilly wrote a piece about EPUB from CS6 in the newest issue of InDesign Magazine. Perhaps what he says will be useful to you:
"In the Advanced tab of the EPUB Export Options dialog box there is now an option
to include multiple CSS stylesheets, in addition to the CSS that InDesign generates (Figure 3).
"Initially, I was annoyed by this change, because Adobe removed the option to ignore the InDesign-generated CSS and only use a custom external CSS. I write my own custom EPUB CSS and therefore wanted to use that instead of what InDesign generates. But it didn’t take me long to realize that this new solution is pretty elegant. By default, any custom stylesheet attributes will override matching elements from the InDesign-generated CSS. This means that you have ultimate control over what is displayed. If you’re happy with how some of the InDesign-generated CSS works in your EPUB file, then simply leave those elements alone and let them do their job. For other elements that you’re not happy with, you can simply override them with your custom CSS. If you prefer to not write your own EPUB CSS, simply export your EPUB file without choosing any additional CSS file(s) and let InDesign do all the work."

Is it possible to create a PDF "print" button from InDesign behaviors?

In Acrobat, there is a way to create a button with a behavior for "print" that will queue the document up for printing. I don't see a way to do this on the InDesign end, though, via behaviors. Something that will export from InDesign and carry over to the PDF. As this is something I'd like to use on every page, adding it to a template would be much easier than manually adding these to each page in Acrobat post-export.
Any guidance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

In Acrobat, Print is a button option, however, it only opens the Print dialog box, so the user can set choices and then print.

Is it possible to create a custom display type in DIAdem, for example a speedometer type instrument?

As an example I have velocity data which shows a vehicle accelerating from rest to 60 km/h and then travelling at a constant speed. As opposed to displaying this data using a 2D axis system is it possible to create a new speedometer display type to display this information? Maybe this display type already exists but I have not come across it yet? I've been using DIAdem for a few days now. The current version I am using is 11.2. It has been suggested in the past that it was possible to display data using numeric displays etc but I can't seem to find the features in v11.2. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey Matthew,
I'm sorry for the [extremely] delayed reply - I have been out of the office (and out of the country) for two weeks with extremely limited email access. I've attached the files that I used to create the example you saw in the YouTube video embedded above. Please note that I threw this together pretty quickly for the video, and that it is not "commercial quality." Use this as a proof-of-concept upon which to elaborate to get started.
The parts are:
CAN Synchronization.tdv
This is the DIAdem VIEW Layout that contains the video, map, 2D axis, and embedded user dialog with ActiveX gauge control. Think of this as the "user interface" you see in the video.
Gauge.sud
This is the scriptable user dialog (SUD) box that is embedded in the VIEW Layout described above. It contains the ActiveX control which I have affectionately named "MyGauge."
DisplayCursorCommand.vbs
This is the short script that is designed to react to the event that fires when the cursor is playing in DIAdem VIEW. I have commented all 5-ish lines with their functionality.
In order to register the script so that it fires in reaction to the event when the cursor is playing, I chose to register it as a DIAdem UserCommand (Settings » Options » Extensions » User Commands) and then run the line of code:
View.Events.onCursorChange = "DisplayCursor"
You could do this elsewhere within some other script.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Is it possible to create a new tab in 'Default settings for items' option?

Hi everybody
I am Raghu working in EBP2.0 & I have come across a difficlty and that is of creating a new tab and also the fields 'GL a/c', 'cost centre' or 'internal order' in this new tab.
First of all please let me know whether is it possible to create a new tab for these fields.
The purpose of this new tab is to default the cost centre and GL account with reference to shopping cart.
As per current scenario, user has to enter the cost centre & the GL code as many times as the number of items in a shopping cart. I mean, if you have 10 items in your shopping cart then 10 times user has to input the cost centre & GL account. To avoid this we are required to add new tab so that per shopping cart we can enter the GL account & cost centre only once.
Your immediate response would be very much apprecited.
Regards
Raghu

hi Ram & Sreenivas
Thanks for your immediate response.
Ram, we can default GL a/c & cost centre in org structure since client wants to us to keep the option of entering these for every shopping cart.
Sreenivas, I checked the 'copy to clipboard' option & its not there in EBP2 and I feel what you meant as cost centre tab is account assignment tab.
Let me explain you more clearly about this requirement.
Current Scenario
1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
2.User has to enter cost centre & GL code 5 times & then he can order
Required scenrio
1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
2.As per the proposed functionality, user will click on 'Default settings for items' button. Three tabs will appear-->Basic data, Internal note & Delivery Address.
We have to provide a new tab here where in user will default his GL & cost centre for this shopping cart & then order. This will help user to avoid entering GL & cost centre 5 times.
For some reasons our client is not interested in defaulting this data.
Please help in this regard if time permits.
Thanks
Raghu

InDesign CS6 and CS5.5 Export to Interactive PDF

Hi Guys,
I am having this huge problem when I tried to export 124 pages including links, buttons (show/hide) and video (mp4) to interactive PDF. However when I tried to use CS5.5 to export, it stops at page 98 and prompts an error that say cannot be exported. In CS6, it managed to pass the page 98 but hangs at page 123 till I got to force quit it.
I am able to export in pieces but not as a whole and I believe that it could be a memory or ram issue which is beyond my control.
This is the first time I have encountered this issue. Anyone have solutions for this?
Mark Plunkett

I manage to combine them in Acrobat X and the links worked, I was happy but for a while. When I tried to save the combined PDF, same thing happened, it just keeps optimizing running at 100.3% of the resources. What I have noticed using my Activity Monitor in Mac is that InDesign renders it using 1GB or Ram while Acrobat only uses 380MB of Ram when I have 8GB of ram available in my Mac. More the reason why InDesign should have gone into 64-bit in CS6, but was dissapointed it did not.
I found the cause of the rendering issue, it is not so much about the vector or image size (it does play a part though), it is because I was using too much Show / Hide functions in the Buttons Panel. There seem to be a limit to how much you can use and on how many pages you can have them. I was doing a "Drop down menu" in the PDF with this particular function, each page have about 40 Show/Hide buttons, and there is a total of 124 pages. That is what caused it not to export out successfully, when I removed the buttons, it worked after waiting for 40 minutes of exporting the file, not very happy it took so long, however it got exported.
I think that both Acrobat and InDesign developers should start looking into able to use Scratch Disk or let the users optimize more Ram to the usage of the software.
Forgot to mention that this only worked in CS6, not even close in CS5.5
