Questionable CS4 version

I recently came across a company selling CS4 Web Premium for ~$600. I called them to inquire about how/why they were selling it at such a low price. They responded, saying that the software was fully legit, but there was a production mistake and the full version was inadvertently written to DVD's labeled as TRIAL versions, and instead of destroying them Adobe decided to unload them in to the discount market.
Now, I know that Adobe did issue trial versions of the CS4 suites...and that it is possible to upgrade those to full versions via legit activation. So I suppose it is also possible that they are generating their own keys and shipping them out with trial disks, but my understanding is that it would not activate unless the key is valid.
My question is simply... "Is it possible that this software is legitimate?"
Before you respond with "If it sounds too good to be true..." -- I would like a real answer.
Thanks,
Chris
ps: I apologize in advance for any violation of the forum rules...I just want an answer from the source.

Adobe does not unload defective disks (even if simply improperly labelled) to any discount market. That phony baloney comment should tip you off to a scam.
This company to which you refer is possibly selling trial CDs with an illegal "crack" program and/or with stolen commercial bulk and/or student bulk version serial numbers.
Deals that appear to be "too good to be true" generally are such! Being the customer of such goods doesn't excuse you from legal culpability for illegal use of the software.

InDesign CS4 version 6.0.6. and Mac OS 10.6.8

iMac 24 inch, OS 10.6.8, InDesign CS4 version 6.0.6. Since upgrading to 10.6.8, I can no longer print double sided. The problem does not exist with any other software I have Adobe or not. I have a HP LaserJet 2300dn printer with the most current driver installed connected to ethernet. The printer acts as if it is printing a double sided page, but what should be one page comes out as two pages.
Is there a solution to the problem?

There are reports of printing problems for some people (not me) under 10.6.8.
Here's a report on the issues with links:

Install CS6 Cloud App while still keeping CS4 Version

How can I install a CS6 Cloud App while still keeping the CS4 version that is currently on my PC. I just installed Adobe Acrobat and it got rid of my acrobat 9. I can't have this happen with my Adobe Illustrator CS4 due to an add-in that is not supported in CS6. Thank you.

Acrobat is one of the few (if not the only) products which replace earlier versions rather than installing alongside them.
Illustrator and other apps definitely install into their own folder alongside earlier versions so that you can still use earlier versions (for plugin reasons etc).
That's essential for apps relying on plugins such as Photoshop and in collaborative team situations where a mix of application versions being used by different team members on different computers and platforms is normal.

CS4 version to CS2 version

Can we down-version an Illustrator CS4 version to CS2 version. Will there be any changes in the eps file.
When the eps file (down saved to CS2) is distilled to pdf and loaded in Illustrator CS2 there are many embedded images
(i.e vector images changed to raster images). What might have occured to change the vector images to raster images.
regards,
Sashi

Why are you saving it as a eps and distilling that to make a pdf?
Why just not save as a pdf straight out of AI?
Do you mean your vector art becomes raster images?
Your raster effects probably were flattened.

Pre Sales Questions CS4

I want to ask a pre-sales question on Premier CS4. How do I do that. I cant
see anything on the web, technical support only allows registered software.
Also, does the student version of the above include watermarks on the image output? I am a teacher and have as student son at unversity. What is the cheapest option for Premier CS4 WITHOUT watermarks
Thanks

The
education version does not watermark output.

Some questions on versioning and synchronizing metadata

Hy all!
I am quite new to warehousing and Oracle Warehouse Builder, and so i would have some questions regarding on some common issues. I would appriciate if you guys would who have experience in this domain to share some good practice knowledge :)
I am using OWB 10.2
So first of all i would like to know if you have some proposal of the way of versioning control and synchronizing projects between team memebers when working on a bigger project, team memebers that don't work on the same repository (cause i saw that OWB has an integrated multiuser support for handeling object locks and user sessions).
I saw that a way of migrating data from one place to a nother is using the import/export options integrated in OWB. This creates mdl files wich are some kind of "dumps" of the metadata informations, but the thing with these mdl files wich i don't think is a good way to synchronize is that first of all the .mdx and .xml files contained in the .mdl (wich is kind of a zip) contains many informations in it (like creation date, some timestamps, etc) wich are always updated when exporting, and if synchronizing these files maybee using CVS, we always will get differences between the files alltough they would contain the same thing, only timestamps changed.
Then a nother issue with this, is that we could have 2 alternatives: dump the whole project, wich is odd to have to synchronize a single file between users, especialy on a big project, then the orher way would be doing for each object from the project (each mapping, each table, etc) an separate .mdl filem then to synchronize each file of each object, wich will be unefficient on reimporting each file in part.
So please if you can share the way you work on a big project with many implementers with OWB, i would really appriciate.
A nother thing i would like to know is: is there a way to generate from an existing project (like one created with OWB) the OMB commands dump (maybee in a tcl script)? Cause i saw that the way the exeprienced users implement warehousing is using TCL with OMB language. I downloaded the example from oracle for warehouse project, and i saw that is entirely made from tcl scripts (so no mdl file involved). And this i think would be nice, to have the OMB commands generated from an existing projects.
I see this OWB projects like a database wich can be built up from only OMB commands and OWB a graphical tool to do this (same as constructing a database only from DDL commands or using SQL developer to do this), this is why i am asking about a way of dumping the OMB commands for creating an OWB project.
Please give me some advices, and correct me if i sad some dumb things :D but i really am new to warehousing and i would really appriciate if you guys with experience could share some informations.
Thank you verry much!

Depends. Having everyone working on the same project certainly simplifies things a lot regarding merging and is generally my preference. But I also recognize that some projects are complex enough that people wind up stepping on each other's toes if this is the case. In those cases, though, I try to minimize the issue of merging changes by having common structural objects (code libraries, tables, views, etc) retained in a single, strictly controlled, central project schema and having the developer's personal work areas reference them by synonym, thus being unable to alter them to the detriment of others.
If they want to change a common object then need to drop their synonym and make a local copy which they can alter, and then there is a managed process by which these get merged back into the main project schema.
This way any changes MUST go through a central schema, we can put processes in place to notify all of the team of any impending changes, and can also script updates across the team.
Every hour a script runs automatically that checks for dropped synonyms and notifies the project leader. It especially checks for two developers who have built local copies of the same object and notifies each that they need to coordinate with each other as they are risking a conflict. When a structural change is submitted back to the central shared schema, it is added to a batch that is installed at end of business and a list of those impending changes is circulated to the team along with impact analysis for dependencies. The install script updates the main schema, then also drops the local copy of the object in the developer's schema who made the change and re-establishes the synonym there to get back to status quo for the change monitoring. Finally, it then updates itself in all of the developer areas via OMBPlus. So, each morning the developers return to an updated and synched environment as far as the underlying structure.
This takes care of merging structural issues, and the management of the team should minimize other metadata merging by managing the worklist of who is to be working on a given mapping or process flow at a given time. Anyone found to be doing extraneous changes to a mapping or process flow when it is not in their job queue without getting pre-approval will be spoken to VERY firmly as this is counter to policy. And yes, OWB objects such as mappings are then also coordinated to the central project via import/export. OMBplus scripts also propogate these changes daily across the team as well.
Yep, there is a whole lot of scripting involved to get set up.... but it saves a ton of time merging things and solvinv conflicts down the road.
Cheers,
Mike

Question about versioning (history) in the latest release

Hallo,
Some questions:
1. Will versioning ever be integrated with locked pages, locked scene, colored pages, revision marks functionality etc, so that at a particular moment you can optionally augment the current versioning with the more traditional way of production revision cycles?
2. If above will not be the case (or is never activated): what currently happens with scene numbers & manual breakdown info that is already added, but than the scene gets deleted. Is all this info gone (& scenes renumbered). Can we save a version to keep this info? Please clarify.
3. Regarding breakdown of elements: will there be a way that we can visualize breakdown sheets on screen. It's much easier for me to look at it that way, e.g. the Scenechronize way (I guess I'm old).
4. Regarding breakdown and making the script 'production ready', will there be a way to combine scenes that belong together and part scenes (that are not in the same shooting location but where the writer chose to combine the action in one scene, eg like telephone conversation etc).
I guess all my questions boil down to this: will Story also aim to offer serious production breakdown features that could be used by production managers & assistant directors to prep for physical production, or will it mainly be a collaborative writing tool (even if it does allow you to transfer text into On Location shotlists and then eventually into your clips).
I guess there's a conceptual difference (at least when talking about narrative film with a lot of cast, locations, props etc): do you support mainly the writing effort and than transfer into a tool like Scenechronize once production starts - or do you go further? For (corporate) interview type shoots this matters less.
I would be interested to hear your views on the matter.
Regards,
Bavo

Yes. Versioning will be integrated with locked pages, colored pages but we are not planning to lock scenes yet. We will also show asterix against changed lines in future updates.
You can always explicitly save a version (file->save as) to mark a checkpoint draft. You can add your own comments while saving this draft so that you can find it later.
We'd like to support production related features because we want to leverage script metadata for all it can be leveraged for. That said, "full fledged" is a loaded term. We will take small steps and enable workflows related to production as we go along. Dynamic breakdown reports, that can be viewed and edited in Story are on our roadmap.

Question on versioning ?

hi jdev experts,
well good morining to all. :)
am using jdev 11.1.1.5.0 -adfbc- versioning.
question 1:
sometimes when i giving commit( on file which is on versioning ) it's say An Error box prompt me am "out of date ".
question 2:
In Pendng changes(subversion) pallete Incoming section somefiles are there but dont want that files(thums.db,and so-on) in versioning.
I want to delete or remove from that incoming section. how can i do that./
while updating the files each and every time i h'd to keep my eyes as big to do that. unwanted files make me trouble. so i ever do that commiting that files..
i dont want that file which is in incoming. is there any option to delete that?
can anyone suggest me.

ADF7,
you messed up your repository ...
q1) 'out of date' means that the repository hold a newer version of the file you tried to check in.
Solution: before you can check in your file you need to make an update from the repository. In the process of updating your files there may happen automatic merges, conflicts, additions and deletions. There is nothing you can do about this. You are only allowed to check in your changed if your version of a file is identical to the the version in the repository. If you see conflicts you need to merge the files by hand (jdev helps you with this).
q2) You can't delete files in the incoming changes tab. You automatically get these files the next time you update the project. See answer to q1.
To clear thing up a bit, you should remove the thumb.db in the repository: open the Version navigator, open the connection to your repository, open the project you are working on (e.g. trunk) and you should see the folders and files like in the explorer. Search for the file you want to delete, select it and hit 'del'. Now you should get a dialog where you can enter a message why you deleted the file. Hit OK (or commit?). Now the next time you update the project in jdev the file will be deleted from your working copy too.
Next you should configure your jdev in a way that such files are not put in the repository in the first place. For this you add a pattern to the global ignore list (tools-preferences-global ignore list). If you only want to ignore a specific file (which is currently not in your repositiry) you can select it in your project add it to .svnignore. To do this right click on file, select versioning and click 'add to svn:.svnignore'
Advice: before you start to clean your repository you should make a backup copy from your repository and the projects working copy on your pc. Sometimes it's easier to remove the project from the repository and check it in once you have configured all pc working with the repository in a way you like. If you go this way you need to setup the project from scratch, meaning you need to remove all .svn folders from the project, make shure you have a version of the project which has all changes from your colleges. This you use as new master. Once you have tested this new master you can put it under source control again. Then all colleges check it out from the repository (they need to delete the old folder before doing so). Be aware of the fact, that the project looses its history doing so. So there is no way you can go back to a previous version.
You need to implement some kind of rule that e.g. each day before you start to work you have to make an 'update working copy'. This reduces the number of conflicts you get when you check in your changes. IT should not influence your work, as you must do the update working copy before you check in your changes (when you get an out of date).

Digibeta Transfer newbie question (CS4 encoding issue)

Hi,
I need to export some footage (17mins) and transfer it to digibeta, the footage is shot on Panasonic HVX200 HDV 720p (24p) and edited on Premiere CS4 with the HDV 720p 24p setting.
I got to ask someone from a local transfer service and they said the output file should be in quicktime format, preferably 720x486 uncompressed yuv 10bit 4:2:2 codec. but then he said it needs to be in 29.97fps, even if my footage was shot on 720p (24p) 23.976fps.
So my questions would be:
1. should i really encode the footage with the 29.97fps setting? will it change how the footage looks, especially if it is supposed to have a 24p film look?
2. Also they need 720x486 but the original is 720x480, does it change the aspect ratio a bit too?
3. I heard there is a file size limit of rought 4~5gig for quicktime format encoding on PC. Since my footage is about 17mins long, I expect the uncompressed file will be very big (i did a test to encode a 10sec clip and the resulted file is about 300mb), so will I have problem encoding file of such size?
Thanks a lot!

In CS4...
File > Save As
Choose Illustrator Format (.ai)
Click OK
Choose Adobe Illustrator CS3 from the drop down menu at the top of the second dialog window
Click OK
Open file in CS3
This should retain most everything, but as Myllennium pointed out, if you use a CS4-Only feature some changes may occur to maintain appearances in CS3. For example, multiple-artboards in CS4 will be converted to a single artboard with guides for the other artboards.
