Automator - Can you do this with a password?
I have a textbook that I downloaded that is in PDF format and asks for a password every time I open it in Adobe Reader. Is there some way in Automator or Applescript to do some kind of command that would enter the password for me automatically?
I'm not sure if you can automate this but I would suggest trying to resave the document in an unencrypted form. open it in preview, then go to File menu->print->save as pdf. see if it lets you do this.

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I used to go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?
BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow
Toast 11 to create menus etc. Thanks for your help. -
Can you do THIS with Captivate ? ...
Hi,
I'm new to Adobe Captivate and am using the 30 day trial to see if it does what I need it to do.
I need to create a test as follows:
60 questions, split into sections.
I need a small button for each question, numbered 1 - 60 aligned vertically in one line down the left of the page, so there would need to be some scrolling as 60 buttons would go off the screen.
Pushing each button would select a multiple choice question from a random pool. eg. Push button No. 5 and a random question would be there. Push 6 and there's be a different question, but if you pushed 5 again, the same question would be there as before. This enables the person being tested to skip back and fore between questions by clicking the buttons.
There may be numerous sections to each test.
eg.
Car Engines
Car Bodywork
Steering
Suspension etc. etc.
So, questions 1 - 8 say may be picked randomly from the 'Car Engines' question pool.
Questions 9 - 19 say may be picked randomly from the 'Car Bodywork' question pool. etc. etc.
At the end of the test, I need the results to be displayed such as:
Car Engines - 76%
Car Bodywork - 52% etc.
I'd also like a simple bar chart representation if possible.
Hope this is clear.
I'd be very grateful if somebody could advise if this type of test scenarion can be created with Captivate.
I'm prepared to learn to use Captivate if it can be done, but do not want to waste my time if Captivate doesn't have the capability to create this type of test.
Grateful for any advice.Captivate won't give you exactly what you've described straight out of the box. But then, neither will any other authoring tool that I'm aware of.
Scrolling Navigation Buttons
The Captivate screen does not scroll. You need to think of it as being like a movie you watch on TV, not as an HTML web page. There are widgets available to give some scrolling of text in captions, but not something that would provide navigation on each and every quiz slide with buttons to jump to any question in the quiz.
Question Pools
Captivate can have any number of question pools associated with a single project file, but you have to set up how many questions will come from a given pool before you publish the project. When the project loads into the user's browser, the randomisation is done to select the particular questions from each pool that will appear in the movie at runtime and is then fixed for the duration of that runtime. You can't control it and perform more randomisation via clicking of buttons. Basically, your navigation buttons are just intended to take you to particular question slides. Which quiz question appears on that slide at runtime is totally dependent on the randomisation done from the question pool.
So if you have 5 question pools, each with 20 questions, but only want ten question from each pool to appear in your published project, you can easily do this with Captivate.
NOTE: One other thing you need to be aware of is that once your user answers a question and moves off that slide, their answer will be locked and cannot be changed until the Retake the Quiz or relaunch the lesson. So although Captivate can be configured to allow backward movement, it does not necessarily allow your user to go back and change their answers to questions previously answered.
Quiz Results
Captivate considers all questions or scored objects in a project file to be part of its Quiz Scope. This scope begins on the slide containing the first scored element, and goes until the last scored element. A project file can have only one Quiz Results slide which will show scoring data from all objects in the Quiz Scope.
If you want to have scoring displayed separately for certain sections of your quiz (Car engines, Car bodywork, etc) you will need to use one of Captivate's more advanced techniquest using Advanced Actions and Variables. It can be done out of the box, but it takes time to achieve the required scripting.
Captivate does not have bar charts as standard screen objects. Once again, you could use some fancy Advanced Actions and Variable scripting to rig up something that looked similar. But it would take yet more time.
I hope this helps with your decision. -
Can you do this with Final Cut?
I'm putting together a video and want it to look like you are watching a tv show. I have a .jpg I was to use to outline the video. Can you do it with Final Cut? In other words, the video will have a tv screen look. And then I want it to zoom in slowly to eventually lose the tv outline.
When you are using still images I usually do things like this using the 4 or 8 point garbage matte.
Drop the video jpeg on track 1.
Drop the television jpeg on track 2.
Drop the garbage matte on the television jpeg and use it to cut a hole that will be filled with the image on track 1. You may also have to use the motion controls to size and position the image on track 1 for location and perspective.
Play with the choke and feather matte controls till you get it looking clean.

I have an old highschool video where I look terrible, I was wondering since I know you can use photoshop to edit the photos (eg: remove bags from undereyes, change eye color ect..) can you do this type of stuff with after effects, and if so how? I'm thinking about purchasing it as long as it can do that type of thing.If it cant, is there any software out there that will?
Thank you so much,
RachelYes, you can change eye color and remove blemishes from skin with After Effects.
There are many ways to do this sort of thing in After Effects. Here are a couple of suggestions:
To change eye color, use the
Change Color effect. You can use masks on an adjustment layer to isolate the areas that the effect affects. You'll probably end up playing with blending modes to blend the result in with the original.
To remove blemishes, you can use the
Clone Stamp tool to sample a patch of clear skin and use it over the blemish, or you might just end up changing the colors of the blemishes.
I recommend starting by going to the
After Effects Community Help and Support page. Work your way through the material in the "Getting started" section. Then, after you've gone through those basic materials, come back here with detailed questions. -
I've got a question...
I want to call a function with a mixture of bind parms and non-bind parms and return a refcursor. For instance,
How would I call the following function with ODP: (BTW, I haven't compiled this so dont worry about the syntax. What I'm trying to accomplish is one round trip from the app server to the database that will return a query that is limited to the keys passed in as bind parms. Notice the join to the results table to restrict my production query to just those bind array values that are passed in after I insert them into my results table (index-organized table)). I get an error "SPECIFIED CAST IS NOT VALID" when I try to call this function with a mixture of bind parms (arrays) and non-bind parms. Can you do this? I do not see anything in the pdf file on the ODP documentation that says you cannot. but I'm thinking because you set the command.ArrayBindCount property to the number of things in your array, that this applies to ALL of the parms? Is that true? Any workarounds?
Thanx
Frank

SHOW ERRORS;Please correct me if my understanding is not correct but I believe your questions is whether one parameter can be an array bind while another is a non-array bind in a single stored procedure execution. If that is your question, the answer is no. All parameters must be either bound as an array or not bound as an array. There cannot be a mix.

Hi everyone! I used to have an iphone 3gs so im new to Siri. My question is regarding siri commands:
Things that i wish i could do but i cant :
Enable Do not disturb
Create an event with an alarm 30 min before the event hour
Send a text using whatsapp
There are more but this are the most important
So.... Can you??
Thanks!No
No
No
As far as Whatsapp, I'm not sure that third party developers have the necessary APIs to incorporate Siri in their apps - maybe a developer could weigh in on that one. -
Can you do this with a playlist???
Hey, I wanted to create a playlist based around a 20min time frame that chooses new songs each time you play the playlist. Is this possible?
- I know how to create the 20min time frame, I just dont know how to have it update everytime I choose to play it. Thanks.Shouldn't be hard.
File>New Smart Playlist.
Set the Criteria to be something like "Last played is not with in the last xx days"
Check the box that says "Limit to <20> minutes selected by Random
Check the box that says Live Updating.
Now, unless you play all the songs in the playlist, it won't change out all of them every time, just the ones you've recently played. However, at any point, you can select the playlist in the Source column, then select all the songs in the playlist and press Delete. The songs will be removed and replaced with new ones. -
I have two elements I need to incorporate into the interface of a current project. Luckily, instead of me explaining (badly) what these are, I have found an image which has both of them in.
Here: http://livehelp.stardevelop.com/images/messenger5.png
The first thing I need to determine is whether java supports the "heading/surrounding border" element which is shown on the upper half of the image above. The heading "Previous site visitors..." is shown then dropdown lists and various radio buttons are enclosed within it. Is this supported by JFrames?
The second feature is the text area which has columns listed along its top edge. On the example image the text area is split into the columns "Hostname", "Operator" etc.
I wish to print objects and print their contents under each heading along a line I.e. object.url in a "url" column and object.author in a "author" column etc.
ThanksThis is entirely possibleNot with only JFrames, though. You would need to use several other Swing components. Fortunately there is a Swing tutorial. I haven't looked at it for a while but I'm pretty sure it comes with a kitchen-sink example that demonstrates pretty much all of the Swing components.

I rarely actually use the app.

Netscape use to let me choose and create new profiles. after clicking on the icon for netscape i was prompted for which user profile i wanted. can i do this with firefox? also, each user profile was linked with its respective email account. can i do this through firefox as well? I need help. i have tried setting up firefox before and since i couldn't accomplish this i had given up but netscape is so old and most sites cause it to crash, i need a solution. i have 2 main profiles and 2 different email addresses. any advice or help, even not firefox related would be great
Firefox doesn't have the same type of interface for the Profile Manager that Netscape did. You might want to look at SeaMonkey ''(which uses the same Mozilla Gecko code as Firefox has)''.
