Automating work flow with Shared Reviews

Is there a way to manage the work flow with shared reviews? In other words, I have a pdf document I need to send out for review. I have several people on my review team, and I want them to look at in in sequence rather than all at the same time. Person A to make comments first, and then pass it on to person B.
Is there a way to set up reviews so that Person A gets to review the document first, and then when they are done, it notifies person B that the document is ready to be reviewed?
As far as I can tell, the way it is set up currently is a free for all and there is no organization - I would like to avoid doing this manually.

By server information, I mean the server type (webDAV/SharePoint/Network folder/Acrobat.com) on which you initiate the review in A9. What option do you choose during shared review initiation?
What is the error message that you get on opening A9 created files in A10? Can you send me one such testfile at ambooATadobeDOTcom (the one created in Acrobat 9)?

Automator work flow and iTunes

I want to creat a automator work flow to start itune at a specified time daily and ply the songs in the specified playlist for an hour and then stop.
In the automator actions I found "Find iTunes Playlist" and Start iTunes Playing". But the other bits to do the full sequence that I need are missing.
Please help me how to go about it.
Thanks
Badrakumar

Hi,
Here's one way.
In Automator, create a Calendar Alarm. This will have two actions from the Music library.
The first will be "Get Specified iTunes items". Click the Add... button in the action pane and specify your playlist.
The second action will be "Play iTunes playlist". You don't need to modify this, just make sure it's second in the workflow.
Save and close this Calendar Alarm, calling it something like "Play my Playlist". Calendar will activate and will create a new calendar called "Automator" if it doesn't already exist.
In Calendar, schedule this Alarm for every day at waking-up time.
Go back to Automator and create a second Calendar Alarm. This will have a single action, "Run AppleScript" from the Utilities library. Delete all the text in the action ("On run... yadda yadda... End run"). Type in a single line:
tell application "iTunes" to quit
Save this Alarm, calling it something like "Stop iTunes", and again you'll be taken to Calendar. Schedule the Stop iTunes alarm daily to run an hour after the first alarm.
Hope this helps,
H

Solution to the "Disappearing Comments" problem with shared reviews

I've been having repeated problems with users losing their comments on shared reviews, hosted on my webDAV server. After tearing my hair out for days, I wanted to share the simple fix to this issue, plus another tip:
DON'T USE PERIODS OR SPACES IN FILE NAMES. Use hyphens and underscores instead.
Illegal characters seem to gradually corrupt the file to the point where potentially every comment can get overwritten with a blank .xml file, permanently losing all your comments.
My wish to Adobe is that they would put a pop-up warning at the time of saving a file for shared reviews, something to the effect of:
"WARNING! saving a shared file with a space or a period could result in data corruption when shared over network drives or webDAV. Do you want to replace illegal characters with underscores?"
My other tip is this:
If using a webDAV server as I am, be sure to use the IP address rather than the domain name when specifying the location of the server.

With all the issues you describe, I would search for something conflicting with Mountain Lion.
Have you booted into Safe Mode and checked to see if it works correctly there? It will take a while to boot, and it will run a bit slow, so just look for the issues you described above. If they don't appear, you've got something installed that is causing the issues.

Cover Flow with shared Music

Hi,
is it possible to use Cover Flow with my shared music?

I have the exact same problem. I guess we're a minority enough that Apple doesn't care about those with large iPods and laptops (so no syncing).
The problem is that with iTunes 7, it was changed to accomdate CoverFlow. Previously, all album art added was automatically embedded into the file.
However, CoverFlow deals with loading lots of images, so iTunes 7 stores the album art in a folder - instead of embedding - in your iTunes directory as a "cache" so that it can easily and quickly retreive the images when you view CoverFlow (as opposed to having to reload every time).
You can't use CoverFlow for iPod music because iTunes doesn't have the image data stored somewhere consistent, and so would have to reload the album art everytime you reconnect your iPod and use CoverFlow, and then keep this image data stored on your computer even if that iPod is never again connected. This could be a strain on your resources, and so I guess Apple decided to play it simple and allow you to only use CoverFlow for music it knows that it has a cache for and that it knows still exists.
The best way around it is if you can store all your mp3s on an external drive, then when you add them to your library you'll be able to use CoverFlow.
Other then that, Apple's message seems to be "get a desktop" or "get a nano."

I need help with automator work flows

im having troube adding songs to my itunes with autmator i ke getting error mesaage 1752 ...anyine know how i can resolve this issue ?

viguy_ wrote:
i was told the error means that the process is taking too long to finish so it just times out
That would have been handy to know, earlier.
I have know idea if this will work, but you might try editing the timeout of the action.
If you right-click on the Action, you can choose "show in Finder"
Make a copy of the action in your home somewhere. Right-click on that copy and select Show package contents.
Go into the contents folder and open the info.plist file with a text editor like TextWrangler. Change the timeout value to something greater than the default of 3600 seconds. Is it really taking longer than an hour? If it is not, then I doubt this will work.
Save the file, and then Import it into Automator (File menu).

Work flow with CRM

Hi Experts,
I have created the workflow on CRM system. I am using the object type BUS2000115.But the workflow is not getting triggered. In event trace in swels, Its showing 'Check FM with exception' error.
Also in swo1, the status of the object is implemented. Its not allowing me to release the object.
Do I need to do any customiztion to activate the workflow in CRM?
Regards,
Supriya.

Hello Supriya,
It's nice to see someone telling us what system they're working on. Something which is too rare these days....
Anyway, status implemented is fine. The event is also being triggered, so your application is also fine.
However there is a check function that is preventing the event from triggering the workflow. This is a normal design technique to filter workflows so they don't start for all events.
Either you have a start condition which you can see in the workflow builder -> header -> start events or in SWB_COND, or else there is a custom function module which you can see in SWETYPV for your object (if the FM is SWEVALCOND or something similar then it is calling start conditions, anything else is something specific to that WF).
Hope that helps,
Mike

Work Flow with FCP and color correction

I am looking for a decent workflow between FCP and motion when I need to apply color correction to the clips.
I have a goup of clips in FCP that I would like to send to motion, animate them and send them back to FCP. Problem is I want to use FCP for the color correction- nicer than motion's. The, all bad options I have come up with are:
1. color correct in FCP and then send to Motion- will not work because filters are not applied in send.
2. Export the clips as one QT self containned movie- I lose the clip partitioning.
3. Exports individual clips to QT then into Motion- I lose the clip ordering
4. Color correct after I get back into FCP from Motion- clip boundaries are lost making applying color correction harder.
Any ideas?
Rick

I've done this two ways - both variations on the methods you have outlined. First and simplest and one I used last week on a PSP project was to apply the color correction to the Motion clip (.motn file) after it came back from Motion. This is simple and easy, but if you've done titling, you may not want to color correct that.
The second is as you said to render and export a self contained movie, then import it and copy it onto the timeline above the original clip that produced it, thus (at least organizationally) maintaining a connection between them. I then send the quicktime to Motion.
Sorry I cannot think of another better way of doing it...

Best work flow for sharing

I use my files on an iMac and a Windows (work) laptop. Should I save ALL of my work on the iMac in Excel format? Do I loose much going back and forth? Should I save my work in BOTH Numbers and Excel format? I actively work on the files in both settings.
Thanks,
Reid

Translation from one format to another is not perfect. You may not find any differences if your spreadsheets are simple. If you're only going to be working on the files in Numbers on your Mac, I'd save as both. It's always best to save in the native format of the program you're using & making a translated copy from that. Should anything happen to the copy, you'll have the original to fall back on.

Acrobat 9. Professional Locks During Shared Review

I do a lot of shared reviews in Acrobat and upgraded yesterday to Acrobat 9 Professional.
This morning when I attempted to set up a shared review, I was able to set the directory for the shared document. When I went to add the reviewers to send the link to and clicked next Acrobat locked up and I had to use Task Master to kill it.
When I retried the same thing happened. I downgraded back to Acrobat 6 because of this problem in Acrobate 7 and 8. Do the new versions have a problem with shared reviews. I downgrade back to 6 to have this capibility but I really should be able to use 9.0 for this task. I am tired of the limitations of 6.0 What gives?

Lotus Notes Release 7.0.2. It accesses my address book without problem, when I go to send it, it hangs up, if I wait 30 minutes to an hour it will populate the email fields but there are garbage characters in it.
Example my email address here at work is:
[email protected]
What Arcobat enters is:
CN=Russell Windle/OU=Central/OU=Scientific/O=OAI@OAI
Its like it is reading the company directory for me I work in the Central location in Scientific at OAI (Olympus America Inc).
Where it is getting this email address is a mystery to me, and it does not work, I have to go into the email and change the email addresses to the "[email protected]" format.

Shared review using internal server

Hello - I am using Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8, and experiencing difficulties with shared review PDFs, a tool that I have used frequently in the past with our internal servers.
I don't believe it's an issue with our server, as the other designer who uses shared PDFs is working with the same system and software, and hasn't experienced any difficulty with creating and viewing comments on shared PDFs.
Some of the errors I've been receiving are:
"Acrobat cannot connect to the Review Server"
"Could not get new comments. One or more files are missing on the server."
Is there a preference somewhere for shared review PDFs, & server preferences for Acrobat, that I should check?

Can you find any additional information in the Acrobat Tracker?

Acrobat Shared Review: Sluggish Response

I've used the Acrobat shared review process daily for a couple of years, creating files with v. 9.4.0. The last few weeks I've experienced difficulty opening and navigating PDF files, especially those that contain SME comments. Any thoughts about why this is happening? Others on my team don't report this problem.

Acrobat Pro in general is slow, but particularly so with shared review PDFs I open through Tracker. It's difficult to navigate through shared review PDFs, open comments, etc. Until about three weeks ago I had no problem opening or navigating through PDFs. I can't think of any reason this started.
Our desktop support team are the system administrators and I'll need to provide them with specific information about what to do to fix this issue.
I really appreciate your help. This problem is impacting my workflow, making it increasingly difficult to get my work done.

Using Shared Review via Network Folder on Windows server and PC and Mac users commenting

We are having initiation and connection problems on the Macs (running OS 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) with Shared Reviews (from Acrobat 9) that are stored on a Windows 2008 Server connecting via SMB. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who is successfully:
1) Initiating Shared Reviews from a Macintosh via "Automatically collect comments on my own internal server" and navigating to a folder (with full read/write permissions for all) on a Windows server. We cannot get Acrobat (via the automated SR set-up wizard) to verify the network folder location on the Macs so that a Mac user can initiate a Shared Review. On Windows (using Parallels or logging in to a PC directly), the same users have no problem initiating and accessing Shared Reviews.
2) Accessing Shared Reviews on a network folder (set up on a Windows 2008 server) via a Mac running OSX 10.6.4 and Acrobat 9. All users have read/write access to the folder and can navigate to it via the server. They can save documents to the network folder and open other documents there as well. When they open a Shared Review-enabled PDF for commenting, they get the error message that Acrobat cannot connect to the server. Retry results in the same error message.
We use Shared Reviews extensively and have no problems with PC users accessing the files and Mac users accessing them via Windows (Parallels or on a PC). This is very frustrating so I would really appreciate any ideas, especially if anyone is actually doing Shared Reviews this way.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is NOT fixed based on the testing I have done.
1) I am still unable to connect to the network folder on a Windows server from the Mac to initiate a Shared Review In Acrobat version 9.4.6. Same error message as previous Unable to locate server. See screenshot:
2) One of the Mac users (also upgraded to Acrobat 9.4.6) who was invited to participate in a Shared Review (initiated using Parallels/Windows) was initially able to open the file and Publish comments. However, after she did and closed the file, she was unable to reopen the same file, connect to the server and add comments. And no other Mac user could access the file after she added her first comments. We all got the error message "Unable to connect etc" See screenshot.
3) I opened the same file in Parallels/Windows with no problem. However, the Mac user's comments were not there. I could add comments and publish in Windows.
4) When I tried to access the Tracker from my Mac (review was initiated via Parallels), I got the error message File not Found when I tried to access the test review via my Mac (see screenshot).
Could you give me more information about the fix? I would also be happy to talk to you or send more details if that would help.
Our set up has not changed from the original information I sent (there may have been some Mac updates -- we are all on OS 10.6.8 but still Snow Leopard). Server has not changed.

Acrobat Shared Review - Possible Upgrades?

Is it possible to put a contract in place to get upgrades to Acrobat Shared Review:
1. New data fields to sticky notes such as: issue title, issue description, applicable section/paragraph or requirement not being met, proposed solution.
2. Custom Status field - more than just the 4 currently available
3. a better export functionality to be able to export these to an external database application
thanks
