Anyone ever edit WebHelp files once they've been output?

For example, in my WebHelp project I use user-defined variables. For the word "trouble ticket" I may want to use the word "Incident" or "Case" later, depending on the end user. Since the Help file is used with our web application - on the web application, end users can configure the app, so anywhere the word "trouble ticket" appears - it can now say "incident". Now, I know before I generate the output, I can switch the value of my user-defined variables, but is there an api/script that would allow us to update all the output files (after the Webhelp has been output) and the locations in those files where the user-defined variable needs to be updated (more specifically, without having to regenerate the Webhelp project using RoboHelp?)I guess my big question is, is there any api's or scripts that can simulate re-generating a Webhelp project without using RoboHelp so the output files can be edited by end users, even though they don't have RoboHelp?Otherwise, all the changes for each version of our application - would have to be manually sent to me, then I would have to regenerate each separate version of Webhelp? Any ideas, appreciated

Double click on the relevant item and select iTunes from the list.

Has anyone ever lost a ringtone that they purchased and downloaded? I have; completely gone. And when I searched and attempted to download it again I got the message "you've already purchased this; do you want to purchase it again?"

Has anyone ever lost a ringtone that they purchased and downloaded a ringtone and then it just completely disappeared? When I tried to download it again I got the message "You've already purchased this item; are you sure you want to buy it again?"

You are aware that there the app may have downloaded and been placed on the second screen. Not the main one. Can you swipe to the right to see if it is there?

Can i put photos back into the camera chip once they have been imported to my Mac?

Export them
File -> Export
to a folder on the desktop. From there copy them back to your camera.
Remember, the camera has a quite specific set up of folders, and you'll need to put the files back in the correct place for them to be viewable on the camera.

Is there a way we can use Acrobat Standard to assign a password for opening of signed PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

Prior to implementing DocuSign, we used to scan manually signed document to a PDF file and then store the PDF file in a HR file share. We would then use Adobe Writer Standard to assign a read/write password to the PDF file. We now use DocuSign to have documents electronically signed and download the DocuSign PDF in our HR folders. However Adobe Acrobat Writer does not allow us to assign a password. It pops up a dialog box saying ""you cannot change security on this document because the document is signed or certified". We want to continue being able to store the PDF in our HR file share with passwords to restrict who can view off the share. Is there a way we can assign a password to the PDF file once it has been downloaded from DocuSign?

Thanks Bernd. We can't assign passwords before signature process starts as people will not be able to open the PDF without knowing the password. I think we will change our process and simply leave the electronically signed PDF in DocuSign and then "print" the PDF to our local file share for internal HR purposes. thanks again.

Removing the ability to edit a form once it has been submitted

Good Day All;
I am not sure if this has been asked before......
Is there a way to turn off the ability to edit a form once it has been completed and submitted?
Thanks all

Thanks Malcolm... That is what I thought... I guess there is no way to do it unless LiveCycle Designer is installed....

In LiveCycle Designer ES4 how do you remove tabs within a page once they have been created?

Emma,
Take a look at the troubleshooting tips on this page from the Infosemantics website:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/drag-and-drop/troubleshooting-widg et-issues
Pay particular attention to the section entitled: "My drag and drop question works correctly sometimes, but not other times. "
From the appearance of your slide, it looks like you may have removed some of the components from the quiz slide that are necessary for it to function correctly. Try the test that this section of the troubleshooting suggests so that you can see if this is the case. If it turns out that you have deleted some items, you'll need to recreate your quiz slide to get them back again.
Hope this helps.

Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
Quicklook works fine.
Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.

Moving answers in a quiz once they have been matched to a target in using drag and drop

Hi,
I am having a problem with some of my drag and drop quizzes that I'm wondering if anyone you might be able to help me with?
In some drag and drop quizzes I have created, using the Infosemantics drag and drop light widget in Captivate 5.5, I can move the answer after having matched it to a target but before submittting. Whereas in some quizzes I have created, the answers get stuck and do not let me move the answers after I have matched them to a target, even though I haven't submitted. This leaves me no choice but to clear all my answers and start again if I have made a mistake.
Please can you tell me how to enable the answers to move even after they have been placed on a target?

Recover files after they have been emptied from trash

i made a huge mistake and deleted all of the music files from my computer... i am a profesional dj and need to recover them asap ...can anyone help?

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Is it OK to delete your downloaded program files after they have been installed?

I have several years worth of downloaded program as well as other files that have already been installed and, I would like to delete them to make more space available on my HD. Is it OK to delete these files?
Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

I used to keep the installers of most everything until - a very long time later - I finally realized that by the time I may need it again, it was outdated and I needed to download or pay for a newer version because the old one was no longer compatible with my current OS. So, I've changed it a bit and now only keep installers for which no new installers/versions are available, or if I think I may want to revert to an earlier version. The remainder now wind up in the trash immediately after the install.
Not that it matters at all, but your profile says MBP, but you said a Mac Pro (two very different machines). But, as I said, in the context of your question, it does not matter at all.

How to copy and edit pages once they have been scanned to my desktop

I have a many page report I want to copy and send as one or more PDF files. I scan the page, remove it to my desktop and either slide it onto a blank pages or I Photo, where I make the print darker, etc. and export to my desktop..as file, jpeg document....tried them all.
Once on the desktop, it won't allow me to add or subtract any information...I can't even select all and copy it. I can't remember how I use to do this so I would come up with a copy that I could edit and also add several other pages to the bottom of the first page, to send as a pdf, rather than have to send each page separately.'
Is there a way to do this?

If you are at the point where you have several .jpg images that you want to turn into a single PDF document,
Open each .jpg image in Preview and Save As a PDF file.
Do that for all of them.
In Preview click on the sidebar and one image will be there.
From Finder, where reside your recently converted .jpgs to single PDFs drag one to be underneath the existing one and so forth untill all single PDFs are showing in the sidebar.
Get the focus back on Preview by clicking on it, and then Save As and that will produce one multi-page PDF document.
Note, The last image you converted will be the first image in the new PDF, so you might like to close Preview and then reopen it with the first image, just to make sure you get them in the desired order.

Where to find my pic after once they have been edited?

I want to print my pic using EasyShare by Kodak. I need for that to upload the pictures I edited in iPhoto. However I don't know which folder to look into.... It is so confusing with all these folders:data, modified, 2005, roll,... Apple needs to do something about the organisation of the photo media...
THx

xavier
The iPhoto media is very simply organised. A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
But there's no need whatever for you to root around in the iPhoto Library Folder at all. There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
I suggest that you use File -> Export which produces a copy of the pic, which you can then print and afterwards trash the copy - the Original is safe in iPhoto.

Has anyone ever edited in portrait (ie 1080x1920?) In CS4

Hi -I'm trying to edit some footage i shot sideways.
I have seen a couple of cool videos on vimeo that are portrait rather than landscape.
I thought I could change the project settings at the start but the frame sizes seem to be greyed out?
Does anyone know how to set up the project and export?
Thanks scott

You need to work in a Desktop sequence. This will allow you to change the settings as desired.

I have lots of .MOV files on my iPhone5 that I need to transfer to my PC. Using QuickTime Player 7.7.4 I am unable to view them once they have been copied to a hard drive or directly from the iPhone via USB. 1% of the time a vid is viewable

I can tranfer them to a hard drive on my PC, but am unable to view most of them using QuickTime Player 7.7.4. Doesn't matter if I'm viewing them via a USB connection to my iPhone5 or from a hard drive after the file has been copied via USB. 1% of the vids are viewable, 20% open with a black screen and audio only. The rest open with a blue, purple and green stryrated mess and no audio. Yes its a Quick Time problem I know but where do I post this question in the community? Also searching my drives for other .MOV files downloaded from the net I find the same problem with them.

Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure. This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
3. Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying.
OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
Maybe I should think about a new computer.
