Adobe Interview For FreeHand Users

Hey FreeHand Users,
I just updated my blog. It now features an interview I just
did with Terry Hemphill, Seniolr Product Manager for Adobe. I asked
him a series of questions that many FreeHand users may have been
wondering about, including what Illustrator CS4 has to offer.
Thanks again to Adobe for the interview!
The address is:
http://www.enrichdesign.com/fhblog

First off, nice blog site you have. Very informative on the
Adobe-Freehand issue over the last few years.
Secondly, I was more frustrated by the interview than I was
appeased. Corporate Adobe seems more at fault than Terry Hemphill,
who I felt was only toe-ing that corporate line. Comments like
these don't help me feel confident when I am looking at keeping my
FH workflow:
— "Adobe will continue to evaluate the demand for
FreeHand before bringing the product to end-of-life. It's not our
intention to force people into another solution."
— "Freehand is not going to be revived; time to move
on, really. The Illustrator team is making a determined effort to
bring the best of FreeHand into Illustrator, which should be
evident from some of the new features in CS4."
— "Official line -- we don't comment on future
development plans."
— "Illustrator's integration with other Adobe tools and
presence as the industry standard application for designing vector
content."
— "Special upgrade pricing for owners of FreeHand who
want to move to Illustrator, and we're updating the FreeHand
migration guide for CS4, which should be available for download on
line early next year."
From the interview, I see AI now has Multiple Artboards
(nice) and working on Clipping Masks in this latest AI version, but
like FH Addict says, CS6 may be the earliest I ever upgrade. You
have a ways to go yet.
(Message to AI team, get the simplicity of FH tools and
workflow, not the bloat I see. Make a REAL effort to create the FH
workspace within AI. Keep it a separate interface from your
Illustrator Users if you want, but show me the familiar interface
and tools when Freehand was your competitor.)

Hello Raja Sekhar,
This object is not available anymore in Designer 7.1. This setting can now be achieved through a web dynpro (Java) API (interface <a href="https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04s/SPS7/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/adobe/pdfdocument/api/IWDPDFDocumentAppearance.html">IWDPDFDocumentAppearance</a>). In web dynpro ABAP you would need to use the method handler of the <b>InteractiveForm</b> UI element (IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL, SET_HIDE_TOOLBARS).

Deploy Adobe Connect for outside user access

I am deploying Adobe Connect 8.2.0 and it works great internally on my domain running SSL on both the App and Meeting Server. I was wondering what is the best way to grant access to outside users to connect to meetings hosted from my "on-premise" Adobe Connect Server? By best way, I mean the most secure not only for Adobe Connect but as well as my domain.
I thought about standing up an Edge server in the DMZ but I was told not many companies do this for what I am looking for, and that mostly they simply use a proxy and poke some holes in the firewall to let in the traffic.
So how does everyone else do it?

In my experience, most people don't like to "poke some holes int he firewall" as it poses other security risks. The Edge server is a valid method of getting externall access to the Connect server. However for getting advice on how other people have done this, I would post your question to the Connect User Community at http://www.connectusers.com/forums/cucbb/
There are many knowledgeable Connect Admins there and they should have good advice for you there.

Illustrator a poor substitute for Freehand for business users

I have discovered to my horror that Snow Leopard makes it impossible for Excel graphs to be copied into Freehand any longer. This is 90% of the work I do and have been doing for 15 years. Since Adobe would like Freehand users to migrate to Illustrator, I thought I would give that a try to see what would happen.
The graphs paste in, but they are sized above the size of the artboard, creating extra work.
There are also issues with how the text boxes work (if I try to right-justify the x-axis numbers, they move to the left).
In Freehand I religiously use the "Select -- Same as Selection -- Page" command as I complete the charts one by one, to change the strokes to the right weights for publishing and to methodically change the Excel colours to Pantone colours, etc -- all the things Microsoft does not allow for. However, as far as I can tell, when you use the "Select Same" command in Illustrator, it selects everything that matches on every artboard; this means I would have to have 80 separate Illustrator files for the reports I do that have 80 charts! Can anyone tell me if there is a way to select similar objects on individual artboards and not on all artboards at once?
By far the worst problem I encountered is that, when I tried to paste line graphs into Illustrator from Excel, all but one of the data lines would disappear -- rendering the charts unusable for my client's analytical purposes. Freehand never did this; all pasted charts came into Freehandas perfect vector graphics on only one layer.
I used to do these time-sensitive charts in less than a minute each with Freehand's slick capabilities, and I'll be lucky to do each one in less than 30 minutes now -- putting me out of work in short order. For as long as humanly possible, I will keep using Leopard so that I don't have to try to use Illustrator for something Freehand can do 1,000 times better. Why, oh why, can't Illustrator interface with Excel the way Freehand can? Seems like we business users are being left out in the cold by both Apple and Adobe.

Ok here is your new process. There will be little differences on some excel files but they shouldn't be too hard to tackle. Plus I'm always an email or a tweet away at @ask_illustrator
1) Open your .xls in excel and choose File -> Save As. In the Format drop down, choose PDF.
2) Open that .pdf in Illustrator. If it's a multi-page .pdf, AI will prompt you for which page to open.
3) Choose Select -> All or press command+a.
4) Choose Object -> Clipping Path -> Release. Then choose Object -> Compound Path -> Release.
5) Repeat step 4 until both options have "Release" grayed out.
6) Choose Select -> Deselect or just click anywhere outside of the work area with your selection tool.
7) In your Color panel (Window -> Color) change both the fill and stoke colors to none by clicking the swatch (Window -> Swatches) that is white with a red diagonal line through it.
8) Choose Select -> Same -> Fill & Stroke then press delete or backspace.
The previous steps will prepare the artwork for editing and get rid of any un-needed shapes.
9) now select an object that needs to be changed to a spot color
10) Choose Select -> Same -> Fill & Stroke again and in the color panel, drag the color to the swatches panel to add it as a new swatch. Double-click your new swatch and choose Spot Color in the Color Type drop down menu.
Any other clean up should be pretty obvious, just remember to use select same fill & stroke to grab similar shapes quickly.
Welcome to AI!

Freehand Users / Adobe

Yes. Freehand remains far better than Illustrator. We have
been using Freehand for the last 12 years here at Electronic
Theatre Controls, Inc. I am a Product Graphic Designer and need the
features and power that FHMX provides. We use Illustrator basically
to export .dxf. files. I think if Adobe had a Graphic Designer who
worked in Macromedia Freehand and then started using Adobe
Illustrator that Adobe would finally "get it" I think they would
just take FHMX and write Illustrator on the box. Designers do not
like the cumbersome slow interface of Illustrator.
I can run rings around Illustrator users with FHMX. While
your figuring out how to stop the guides from moving or trying to
set up a custom page size, my work will be on its way to be made
into a finished product.
The name - Freehand does not accurately describe what this
program does.
It's simply the best Vector Graphics program for doing
professional design work. I work with Engineers who use Solidworks
and AutoCAD. With Freehand, Acrobat Professional and Photoshop, I
am able to do award winning design work.
Can we ask Adobe to continue to support and expand Freehand?
Or can we ask them to put all of the great features Freehand
has into Illustrator?
I think new designers are just given Illustrator and think
that's the only program they have to choose from.
Adobe, please consider that the professional users of
Freehand will continue to use it anyway. Why not please your
customers?
Thank you,
John Masino

Adobe Premiere Pro CC launches for some users, but crashes for others.

I am troubleshooting an issue in a college computer lab. Adobe Premiere Pro CC launches perfectly for some users, but crashes for others. All computers are joined to a domain. The program launches successfully under faculty and admin accounts. It launches under my student account and will launch for some students in the class. There are, however, some students who cannot get the program to launch. Each time it fails when attempting to load ImporterQuickTime.prm.
For these students, the following error appears:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC has stopped working

I did check Quicktime and it is not updated to the most recent version. However, if it was a result of Quicktime not being up to date, why can some accounts launch the program while others cannot. I have also updated the graphics driver on one computer. No change. I compared my student Active Directory account to that of one student who could not launch the program. They are in exactly the same place in AD and therefore have the same permissions on the domain. This is a puzzling issue and the instructor is getting frustrated. Any help or suggestions with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea, other than what I said about the program's design requirement for an Admin account and "sometimes" problems on any other account
About the only thing I can suggest is a "remote control" chat session... when a student with a non-working account is having problems
Creative Cloud chat support (all Creative Cloud customer service issues)

How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same Citrix server

Hi,
In my previous endeavours to solve this business requirement where multiple users will be able to use the Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP pages inside SAP to PDF, I was told that it is not possible to do this for multiple users at the same time. However I have found an article according to which it says it is possible. Could you check it once and let me know if this article can be used for implementing the requirement stated above as this link clearly indicates that Adobe Acrobat is supported on Citrix.
Please find the link below where it states it is adobe acrobat is supported in Citrix for multiple users.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/citrix.html.

1. What is the Acrobat feature that you mean? There's nothing specific to SAP included with Acrobat.
2. Yes, some Terminal Server configurations appear supported (check carefully). All users of the terminal server will need a license, so far as I know - total licenses = total individual people using.

Adobe Reader 9.0 - Disable Forms Highlight color show border hover color for fields for all user a

Hello.
I am installing Adobe Reader 9.0 onto a new windows xp corporate build for my company. We would like to have the Forms Preference "Highlight Color" Show border Hover Color for Fields checkbox unchecked by default for any user that logs onto the workstation. (All new WinXP profiles, and if possible, any existing profiles) Is there a registry entry that can be changed to ensure that this option is unchecked by default on our WinXP build?
Thank you.

bumping thread...
I have downloaded the Adobe Reader 9.0 Custom Wizard install creator tool, but it still appears that I will need to know what registry key to change/import into the installer for this preference to be disabled by default for all users of the workstation that Adobe Reader 9.x is installed onto.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Call for adobe form is going for dump for multiple users

hi,
i am calling an adobe form in a program i.e. for multiple users. now my problem is.....
3 people are using same tcode to generate the adobe form output for different data. but when they click at a time on the button to generate the adobe output, then adobe form is coming for only one user and it is going for dump for other users.
and this dump is coming because of exception "CX_FP_API_INTERNAL" in funtion module FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME which i am using to get the function module name of the adobe form in my program.
can u please give me some solution to rectify this issue....

That's nothing!
An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!

Adobe flash wont work for general users in Citrix

I have a Citrix Xenapp 5 farm 2008 32 bit and I am trying to get Adobe flash 10 player working for general users. It works fine for admins though not when logging a citrix session as a general user (if I give that user admin rights it is fine). I have used the full edition of the installer with different versions and they all dont work for users.
I ensured that ie security was turned off for both users and computers.
gave read access to some registry enteries.
gave everyone group write access to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed.
I am using the citrix receiver.
it is not being streamed.
I excluded the group policies for the test user and still same issue.
I have tried different versions of flash and nothing has worked. I disabled the gpos for the user and still the same issue. the RSOP didn't have anything that stood out. there was nothing in the event log which gave any errors about it.
Seems to be a permissions issue somewhere.
Any ideas appreciated.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your browser & version?
What means "not working" - what exactly happens when you try?

Adobe Connect for iPad Error - User Limit

I have loaded Adobe Connect for iPad on my iPad 3. We are using Connect 9 on-premises. I wanted to test how it works, so on my PC, I set up a Meeting and added a new user that I created in Users and Groups as an iPad Connect user. I started the meeting on my PC and pasted the URL for the meeting (after connecting through wireless and VPN). I was asked to login. So I used the Member selection and got the following error when I attempted to connect: "User Limit for this account has been exceeded". So I tried to back out and login as a Guest. I got so far as to have the request to be accepted to the meeting go to the host (me on my PC). I accepted the request, but then I got the same error message. Any ideas what I can do to resolve this.
