Adobe InDesign editing options for client?

I have a client who wants to be able to create their own in-house documents, mostly postcards, flyers, etc. I can design and build them in InDesign, but is there an easy, inexpensive solution for them to be able to use that as a template, instead of purchasing a full version of Adobe InDesign? Currently they're using Publisher, and since I'm on a Mac, I can't create templates for them to use. InCopy sounds interesting, but the documentation on the Adobe site is so marketing driven that it's tough to tell what InCopy can actually do.

You would think that Adobe would develop a product like "InDesign Lite" that would let clients do some basic editing without the full features of InDesign, like having editable regions similar to Dreamweaver.
They do but unfortunately it costs the same as InDesign and has the same name too!
Seriously though you can design something up nice and then port it over to Word or Publisher so they can edit have a look at this here and think laterally. Yes they will pay more for you to do that than if they had and could use InDesign, No it is not OK for them to whine about that.

How do I uninstall Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)???

Dear kind, knowledgable Adobe Staff member-
As a user of SEVERAL Adobe products, I am really NOT loving the fact that there is NO CLEAR answer that I can find here (OR even in doing a Google search) for how to completely REMOVE/UNINSTALL Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)...and there are a couple/few UNanswered Adobe Communities posts (such as this one) asking this SAME question!
If you're going to create an installer for the MacOS platform (which does NOT have the built-in Winblows uninstall "feature"), then PLEASE DO either include a uninstaller tool (either installed during the install process, built into the installer as an option, OR have clear, official, and easily accessible step-by-step instructions on how to do this!
You've lost ANY shot of my returning to ADE software by not having these features...please do help me re-instill some "faith" in your company's responsiveness to the current LACK of support that I am experiencing in attempting to remove this unwanted software from my computer!
Cordially,
Albe Sure

I DO very much appreciate the swift effort at attempting to help...but that is NOT a working resolution for me.
1) As I was very clear on in my OP and title, I am seeking assistance with uninstalling Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac)...
2) BECAUSE Adobe is distributing this software as an "installer", I am not even going to begin to trust simply deleting the Adobe Digital Editions 3 app from my applications folder...no way! I want to thoroughly remove ALL TRACES of this application (EVERYTHING that was installed by the installer, or later by the application itself, onto my computer. Simply deleting the app fro my my applications folder will NOT be sufficient to achieve this goal.
3) As the name would suggest (and the step-by-step instructions would collaborate, the CC Cleaner Tool is only for Creative Cloud installation and removal problems (and to the very best of my knowledge, Adobe Digital Editions is certainly NOT a CC program.)
"A" for effort, but not so much on providing a relevant/working Adobe Digital Editions 3 (for Mac OS) uninstall/removal suggestion(s)...STILL looking for a working solution!

Can't find the edit option for my own wiki content.

I can't find Edit option for my own wiki document..
I've created a wiki yesterday How to update Assignment field in FBL*N report - ERP Financials - SCN Wiki
At the time all images are visible.. But now, I only can see the images. I got a report from other user, that they can't able to see the images..
I log out from my account, then I see, Images are not visible in this content..
I can't find the edit button..

You have hotlinked the (jive scn.sap) images in wiki. This is not the correct way to embed images.
The image needs to be first uploaded there(atlassian wiki.scn.sap), and then embed to wiki page.
I believe you are able to see the image because they are hosted on scn.sap, you are logged in, and the images are part of your "draft" space.
When your access issue with wiki is being corrected. also get access to upload images in wiki.
There are tutorials available on how to embed images to new wiki platform.

Create text editable PDF for client to edit in Adobe Reader

I would like to create a PDF from either Illustrator or InDesign so that my client can edit just the text in the document using Adobe Reader as necessary (for flyers and business cards etc). I want to set the file up in Illustrator or InDesign so all text is laid out properly where I have the proper tools to do so, rather than using the Acrobat form tool and guessing measurement/layout etc. I have tried exporting to PDF from both programs and then using Acrobat Pro's form feature but it won't recognise any of the fields. I am using CS4 and Acrobat Pro 9 and am unsure if my software is too old to complete these tasks or if I am doing it incorrectly. I have seen it done in plenty of places so I know it is possible, I'm just not sure how.
Here are some links showing examples of what I am trying to do:
Using an e.m.papers Wedding Invitation Template.mp4 - YouTube
How to use an e.m.papers printable RSVP template.mp4 - YouTube
So, basically any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated:
How do I make text editable in Adobe Reader (from an Illustrator or InDesign file)?
How can I easily put the same design onto the same page (eg 8 business cards on an A4 page with crop marks) multiple times so that if I need to change the design slightly, it will change the design on all of them?
How can I make the PDF like it is in the YouTube videos, so that when you edit one "product/design", it will edit all on the page?
Or, how can I create a file of multiple business cards on the one page where they can have a different employees details on each card?
This is my first time using this forum so if you require any further information, please let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

that's filling in a form, not editing: Create fillable PDF forms | Acrobat

Why Has Adobe Removed The Option For Individuals To Purchase Software And Not Use The Cloud?

As an individual who has been using Adobe products for about 25 years for my personal use and not as a business, I find the new policy of "renting" the software and using "The Cloud" for, at least in my case, a prohibitive monthly fee, to be totally unacceptable and will result in my no longer being able to afford using Adobe products. I do not understand why Adobe cannot offer their new cloud program for individuals and companies that may wish to use the new system and have the resources to pay in perpertuity, but they should also have the option for those of us who would rather purchase upgrades for whatever programs we use and keep them on our computer without "The Cloud" service.
I am 67 years old and living on a fixed income. I basically use four adobe programs... Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Audition as I do volunteer work at a local non-profit radio and tv organization. If I were to "rent" those individually it would cost $80 per month... so I could take the next deal and get access to all software for $50 per month... I cannot afford either of those. If I could upgrade one or more of the programs every two or three years... keeping them on my computer and not using "The Cloud," then continuing to use the products would be doable. However, being forced into a program that requires a monthly fee and use of "The Cloud" which I do not need to use, seems totally unfair. I certainly understand that there are businesses and individuals who will love the new program, but why not have the option? Or perhaps a "Senior" discount as you do for educators and students?
Something to think about. It seems Adobe may be moving to the "Cable Television" model of monthly fees that will go no where but up.

Hey there, you may have heard that Adobe is continuing to sell and support CS6 for customers who prefer traditional licensing. It's last year's version instead of the latest-and-greatest CC release, but it's something to consider if that's important to you.
As far as a "senior discount" on Adobe software, there has never been one – but one thing to consider is becoming a student or teacher because there is no age restriction on that, in which case you may become eligible for education discounts.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Digital Editions workaround for iPad

Hi all. There are numerous posts regarding this but I thought I'd throw out another. After searching for a couple days on how to read an eBook that I purchased through Kobo that required adobe digital editions, I found this website explaining how to read the URLLink.acsm file on my iPad.
Go to this site and follow the directions. Took all of 5 mins to set things up and now I can read the books on my iPad. It was pretty easy.
http://libraryfit.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/books-downloaded-to-adobe-digital-editions-can- be-transferred-to-ipad-iphone-ipod-touch-as-well-as-android-devices/
Hope this helps.
Enjoy!

To clarify, you're not reading any URLlink.ascm file. That file is just a
pointer to the ebook/epublication, and contains some additional information
about the epub file it points to. Other ereader software can handle them as
well as ADE, and some of those, such as the ones Jim Lester mentions, work
with the Android OS, while ADE does not....

QT Pro has no editing options for a Movie

I'm working on a presentation for work. I've edited a bunch of movies already, but there are three that have the editing options shaded out. I've tried everything...I exported them to other formats, but there's no sound. I've saved as but the editing is still shaded.
I'm at my wits end. I hope someone can help me soon.
Thanks.

QuickTime can play MPEG-1 files and export the video but not the audio. They can't be edited in Pro.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can edit and export to QuickTime formats.

Adobe Digital Editions Options

how to move a book from adobe digital editions to hard drive as a pdf for highlighting and commenting and editing

If it is DRM free, or the DRM allows printing, you should be able to open it and print with a PDF printer such as PrimoPDF.
Otherwise I don't think it is possible without using a DRM stripper such as epubee.
The legality of that is debatable.
I understand (but ...???) it is legal in the US to strip the DRM, but may be illegal to view or edit the result.

Does Adobe provide bundle options for Creative Suite?

I currently use a version of Creative Suite that does not come with Premiere or After Effects. These are two major applications that are part of the CC Creative Suite bundle on offer now, but I don't need them.
Are Adobe planning to provide alternative options to users who don't need the whole package? It's very nice to have access to all the applications, but in reality I won't have the time to use all of them. I use the print and web page development applications.
In the same way, I imagine that companies who mostly use Premier and After Effects, won't need all their staff to have access to InDesign, Flash or Dreamweaver.
It would be more helpful if you could provide us with less expensive bundles which provide us with the tools we need rather than an excess of applications.
This would certainly take out some of the sting for people for people such as myself who find that your new system is going to be costing us a lot more for the same tools that we previously had.
I think you really need to set something up that is fair because the fact that we will not be able to open our files unless we have a current subscription is a big pill to swallow. It's really is outrageous that long time users of your products would have to fork out $74 simply to open up their old files.

There hasn't been any mention of creating sub-bundles of the CC apps in the same way that the Creative Suite bundles are packaged. Due to how Adobe is marketing that "you have accesss to all the CC apps with one subscription" I really doubt they'll create other bundles other than a single app or all of them.

Export from FCP to Adobe Premiere on PC for client to cut

I have some sequences that are complete on FCP 6 and had originally been used for DVD production
Now the client wants me to export them to some format, written to DVD for transport, and enable him to bring them up on his Windows PC in Adobe Premiere so he can make cuts that he will convert to Flash and put on the internet. What would be the easiest way to convert the files to something that will make this process go smoothly. He has no desire to have FCP xml files and original data files so that he can continue to edit in premiere. He just wants to cut and export.

OK -- I could make them WMV on the Mac side, move them to Windows. What software do you recommend to get them to Flash?

Disable Delete option but enable edit option for a content item?

Hi,
Appreciate your input on this. The portal version being used here is 3.0.9.8.2.
I would like to have the following privileges setup for a content folder's items.
- one group can edit and delete items
- one group can edit but not delete items.
However looking at the access types available at the folder level - there are only "view only" , "edit style", "manage items", "own folder","create with approval".
The "manage" privilege is simply a catch all privilege. User can edit, checkin/out and also delete an item.
How do I prevent a user/group from deleting an item ? (or atleast disable the rendering of the 'X' delete icon?)
I did experiment with the audit option by enabling version control which is somewhat helpful in that I can preserve the older versions, but like above, I cannot enforce that.
regards
-Ananth

thanks for your answer Mr. Atkinson, that was excatly what I need. This is my code inside the event receiver:
public override void ListAdded(SPListEventProperties properties)
SPList list = properties.List;
list.AllowDeletion = false;
list.Update();
but the above code dont have any effect on the list, I have still the Item with DELETE THIS LIST in the listsettings.
do you know maybe why? or can I also debugg it?
thanks in advance

Editing Websites for clients after completion

Say I built a website for a client but it needs to be updated with content occasionally. Since I am the one who built the website with muse, on my computer, would I be the only one with the ability to edit it? Say the client hired a new web developer/designer to work on the website, where would he be able to edit the site other than muse?

If they don't have Muse but need minor text updates they can use In Browser Editing features. Alternatively, they do not have to have Muse but once it is edited outside of Muse it will no longer be able to be brought back into Muse.

Can I use Acrobat to create an editable PDF for client's bids?

Hey all,
I recently created a website for a client who sends out hundreds of bids a year in the form of a PDF. They are interested in designing an editable template and I'm at a loss.
Certain areas need to be changed for each bid (bids are around 100 pages each with details about each project). Do any of you know if there is a way to set up a PDF template that can be edited - with pages being added and removed - like a word document?
Will they need a copy of Acrobat, or can I create an editable, stand-alone document that can be saved and resaved as needed?
Otherwise the only thing I can think to do would be to create a nice template and force it into a Word doc as best as I can so he can make changes for each different bid...
I would really appreciate some guidance on this one. I'm not sure how to proceed.
Thanks!

While Acrobat can do minor touchups (correcting a typo, shifting the position of something on a page, etc.) it cannot perform major rework and doesn't understand the idea of document-level reflow.
PDF files are not designed to be editable like a word processor document. It's an end-destination format; you make changes in the original application and re-export a new PDF.
