Beginner Question - Book/Magazine Setup CS2

Hi
How would I setup a multiple-page InDesign document like a book or a magazine so that when I send it to the local printer (on 11 x 17 paper), the page numbers are in order? I have been having a hard time figuring this out because I have been designing as layout spreads so that I can see the actual pages side by side.
Is there a way to do this without "make a book by hand. Take some paper and fold the book. after doing that, put the page numbers on the book. This is your template." - which is the advice I got from another forum. I just want to double check and see if there are any other options as I will need to add pages and take away pages throughout the process and making a mock-up hard copy will not work for what I am doing as - I am unsure of the final page count.
Thanks so much!
Aimee
FYI: I am buying a InDesign book tonight!

"like a book or a magazine so that when I send it to the local printer (on 11 x 17 paper), the page numbers are in order"
Reading the above, I think you aren't sending it to a commercial printer....
Your version of CS2 may or may not have come with InBooklet. Later versions of CS2 were released without the InBooklet plugin (Quark bought it somewhere around that time, I think).
So, if you have it, you're in luck. It will impose the pages for you. If not, you will have to make your booklet pages manually, in which case it will be a much more labour-intensive task. Exporting to PDF and creating a new file with the will likely be the easiest method. You could also try something like this: http://www.quite.com/imposing/ which has a trial version.

Adobe Premeire Elements 8 beginner - DVD, Book, Magazine help?

Hi,
I know the basis principles from other programs, but never used adobe premeire :- elements/photoshop, and just purchased the duel package.
I would like to start from scratch and learm properly. I've tried magazines and they all seem to be photoshop based which I do want to learn, but want to start with Adobe Premiere Elements 8 first.
Is there a magazine, which deals with the basics first then builds up to intermediate/advanced?
Or the same as a DVD?
Or should I just hit PC World and look at the array of books?, which again, most seem to photoshop based.
I've look at podcasts, and found a couple, but they are short and only cover a subject or two.
Any help / links would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Andrew

Well, at the risk of sounding like I'm pounding my own drums, I've sort of spent the last five years laboring on this forum (with over 5,000 posts!), writing books and even creating my own web site to help people get up on running! I'd recommend you check some of it out.
Http://Muvipix.com is a site dedicated to helping people get up and running with the program. There's a gathering of probably the world's most knowledgeable and helpful people on the Community forum -- and you'll find lots of free tips, tutorials, royalty-free music and stock footage and motion backgrounds there -- even more (like over 1000) if you subscribe to the site. I've created a free set of tutorials called Basic Training with Premiere Elements that should definitely get up and running with the basics. There's an intermediate series of 10 more tutorials that you can access if you subcribe to the site, plus dozens more on specific subjects.
I've also written a number of books on both Premiere Elements and on the Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements combo. They're available on Amazon.com and through the Muvipix.com store.

Beginner question: Configure Tomcat for JAAS?

Hi,
This is a beginner question :-(. I'm trying to get JAAS to work on my Tomcat (6.0.12) installation. I used code from a Javaworld article (http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2002/jw-0913-jaas.html)
Of course I had to configure my Tomcat to work together with JAAS. The document I used is: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/printer/realm-howto.html
According to the Tomcat doc I have to do the following steps before I can use JAAS to authenticate a user:
1. Develop your code. Place the compiled classes in Tomcat's classpath
2. Setup a login.config file for Java, and tell Tomcat where to find it (set JAVA_OPTS)
3. Configure the JAASRealm in your server.xml
1 Develop code: I use the following classes:
PassiveCallbackHandler.java
RdbmsCredential.java
RdbmsLoginModule.java
RdbmsPrincipal.java
These classes I put in the package rdbmsjaas.
In the %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/Javaworld_Jaas/WEB-INF/lib directory I created the rdbmsjaas.jar file.
The jsp is called jaas.jsp, and is stored in %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/Javaworld_Jaas
2. Setup login.config
In %CATALINA_HOME%\conf I saved the file Javaworld_all_that_Jaas.config, containing:
Example {
   RdbmsLoginModule required
   debug="true"
   url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jaasdb?user=javauser&password=javadude"
   driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
};I created an XP Environment Variable JAVA_OPTS with the value <-DJAVA_OPTS=-Djava.security.auth.login.config==C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0/conf/JavaWorld_All_That_Jaas.config> (excluding < and >)
I used the fully qualified address, instead of $CATALINA_HOME/conf/JavaWorld_All_That_Jaas.config. I think XP balks when it sees $CATALINA_HOME).
3 Configure JAASRealm in server.xml
In %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\ I changed web.xml. I added the following lines:
      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm"
             appName="jaas"
             userClassName="rdbmsjaas.RdbmsPrincipal"
             debug="99"
       />If I run the jsp from http://localhost:8080/JavaWorld_Jaas/jaas.jsp, I can enter my username/password, but when I click the Submit button, I get:
Caught Exception: java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to locate a login configurationWhere did my configuration go wrong?

You will need a JSP/servlet engine such as Tomcat - Apache alone won't do it.
I haven't seen any tutorials on set-up but the Tomcat documentation includes info on how to link to Apache. There are also books you can buy - check out the online book stores such as Amazon.
There's also a lot of info on this forum.

Closing a book/magazine in the Reading view?

Where/how do I close a book/ magazine that has been opened in the Reading view, so that I can open another publication in the same Bookshelf?

Hi Abhishek,
If I understand your question correctly, you would like to access the Fund plan ID (in a different context node) in the getter setter methods of the check box attribute which you have added.
The code snippet mentioend by sudeep works perfectly fine when you are making any checks in the view implementation class. But since you are in the getter setter methods of the context class, this doesnot work as "me" always refers to the class instance in which you are present.
Now in this case what you need to do is :
1) create an attribute <view_controller> in your context class. Here the context is TRADE. The type of this attribute wud be same as the view controller class CL_TPMOE_HEADEREOF0_IMPL
2) Go to the view controller class and redefine the method
DO_VIEW_INIT_ON_ACTIVATION. This method is called only once when the view is loaded for the first time.
3) In this method, put the following code
me->typed_context->(Trade)->[view_controller] = me.
by the above code, you are setting the newly created attribute to the view controller instance.
4) The next step would be, go back to your getter setter methods or what ever it may be, try referring to the Fund plan ID by the code snippet mentioned below
data: lr_entity type ref to cl_crm_bol_entity.
lr_entity ?= me->[view_controller]->typed_context->[the context node in which the fund plan id is present]->get_current().
lv_field_value = lr_entity->get_property_as_String( **pass the field name here ).
This should definitely resolve the problem.
Thanks,
Vinay

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

you can download a new installer and serial number from Adobe at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

Beginner Question

Hello all, hopefully I have posted this to the correct LiveCycle board!
I'm new to Acrobat and LiveCycle in general. I'm working out of windows LiveCycle Designer 8.x and my question is as follows....
I'm working off of the "Quote" Form Template and what I am looking for is a way to make the rows of the Table expand as needed. I will be converting this Template into a "Purchase Order" form, and there will be many occassions where I will need to increase the table rows - perhaps onto a second or even third page - due to the volume of different items I will be seeking prices on at a given time.
Long story short I would like to take this "QUOTE" form template and make it such that if needed, I can expand the table size one row at a time, pushing the content beneath (Comments, subtotal, etc) onto the next page....
Hoping I have explained my query well enough, Could anyone provide me a solution or point me in the correct direction?
Many thanks!

As a followup, so as not to clog the board with numerous threads I have another beginner question
For the sake of hypotheticals I am creating a dynamic PDF form. This pdf is a Purchase Order Form, with a table in the Body that will expand/contract as the form user needs. (EXA- Default table size is 5 items, however user is creating an order for 12 items, he/she can increase the table rows to desired capactiy.) It will be a very simple layout. All data for the form will come from manual entry, no XML data binding going on.
My new question is as follows:    Is there a way I can have this user's Adobe reader or Adobe acrobat software remember previous data entries, so that if 4 weeks after ordering widget X he/she needs to place another order for widget X, the software will autofill the table as he/she types into the table cell?
This would be similar to how Excel will start to autofill if it recognizes a previously entered value from some other cell in the worksheet (workbook?)
EXA-
[NAME]   [MODEL]   [QTY]   [PRICE]
Widget           A            433        $30.00
Would it be possible for the software to notice that I'm typing the word "widget" somewhere after typing "wid" ???
Many thanks for any and all followups, I'm a teenager trying to help out in my father's small business. They are in the darkages here and I'm doing my best to self teach.
Thanks.

Beginner question: Can I apply one formula to all cells in a column?

Hi,
I'm new to spreadsheets, so apologies for asking what is probably a very simple question.
I want to apply a formula that divides the values in one column (W) by values in another (AX) for a table containing 3000 rows, and outputs the result for each row into the appropriate cell in the new column I've created.
Numbers 09 'help' hasn't helped to this point.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Besides Numbers '09 Help there are two other useful resources available in the Help menu: the Numbers '09 User Guide and iWork Formulas and Functions Help.
For "Beginner questions," my first choice would be the User Guide. For the specific question you asked, a quick scan of the chapter on "Using Formulas and Functions" (pp 83-96) will provide some useful information. Start in the neighborhood of page 93.

Beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown workflow

Hello
I have a beginner question regarding 32-bit mixing and mixdown.
If I edit some 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV Files and put them into multi-track view to do crossfades, how should I do the mixdown?
Audition shows me in multi-track view, that it is doing 32-Bit mixing.
Can I just mixdown to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo without any dithering (as the files are 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo to begin with), or will I lose quality that way?
I will be performing a normalization to 96% to the mixdown and then split to tracks in Audition, as in the end I want to to have an audio CD.
I guess I could mixdown to 32Bit, then normalize and in the end save back to 16Bit, 44.1kHz Stereo WAV (with dithering, I suppose?), but I want to avoid any unnecessary converting steps.
Greetings

Any time you do any processing on a 16bit file in 16 bit only it will degrade the audio slightly due to rounding of the calculations. Working in 32 bit floating point (Audition's default) takes account of all bits generated due to processing.
So it is always best to work in 32 bit, even if your originals were 16, all the way through until the last stage of saving the files for CD burning. Any losses due to conversion will be insignificant against those due to working 16 bit.

Suggestion on A4 Margins for a book/magazine

Hi guys,
I am designing a magazine/book Journal for a Psychiatric Association. I called book/magazine because it is mostly for reading very long articles with running text and very few photographs. The interior pages are only black and white and no colour pictures. The layout and design has to be "serious" but i am trying to make more interesting -considering i cannot use color inside- while keeping its formal style. The client want to use Garamond.
1) What size and leading of Garamond do you like? I am trying Adobe Garamond Pro 11.5 pt with 14 pt leading. Take in account that is for people over 40 or 50 years and older who reads a long articles and usually complaint to magazine with small minimal type size.
2) What do you thinks of these margins for A4 size? Here is my sample.
MARGINS:
Top: 24 mm (0.944 inches)
Bottom: 16 mm (0.629 inches)
Inside: 16 mm (0.629 inches)
Outside: 16 mm (0.629 inches)
SAMPLE LAYOUT JUST FOR TEXT
a) 2 columns and a half for footnotes (not centered)
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1ubahhmQILBkStaBYbvuPg36qkihGh
b) 2 columns centered.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=194nBRVVNHHbPqMoROMsKz9ZaF0J0
FOR TEXT AND IMAGES
(10% of the magazine, not the usual layout)
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1zrTpAY4Bqf6PqAmPQvfJeiqlhTum
PLAN B (another option) could be
Body Type: Stemple Garamond LT. (more x-height typography)
Size/Leading: 12/15 pt
1) One column with good space at the bottom margin for footnotes.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1vLXsfXq53wk4dFEP5r2zIaiVzZL
2) Two columns with good space at the bottom margin for footnotes. (the 2 columns have more design features to play with that a one column central paragraph i think).

Thanks for any help or info!

I'm with Peter on the words per line
I use a ratio of 2.5:1
If my type size is 11.5pt, then I want the the width of the text frame (measure) to be around 28/29 pica (122 mm or 4.8 inches) which should give you approximately 70 characters for you longest line of text. And say the narrowest you could make your measure would be 70mm (2.75inches)
( the rule I go by if it's 11.5pt then multiply it by 2.5 = 28/29, then use pica for the width of the measure, e.g, 28/29 pica wide for the text frame) (i'm also erroneously using the word "measure" here)
I also add extra space to the inside margins, to account for the fold in the paper at the spine area, or if it's perfect bound there'll be about 5mm "hidden" in the spine, meaning your text can look off center if you don't offset your margins.
Say 16 mm for the outside and 20mm for the inside should suffice.

Beginner question - how to efficiently check if a photo is part of the selection

Dear all,
Sorry for this beginner question, however I don't know how to solve it and I'm sure that there is a quick and easy answer to this:
My target is to get all the "heads of stack" (photos with Position 1 in stacks) of the selection ("photos" below).
for i, photo in ipairs( photos ) do
local photoName = photo:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
   if photo:getRawMetadata( 'isInStackInFolder' ) then
   --Photo is in a stack
        local photoHeadOfStack = photo:getRawMetadata('topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto')
        local stackPos = photo:getRawMetadata( 'stackPositionInFolder' ) -- get the position in the stack
        local photoHeadName = photoHeadOfStack:getFormattedMetadata('fileName')
        app:logVerbose("Photo nb ^1, name ^2 is in a stack with the position ^3", i, photoName, stackPos)
        if stackPos == 1 then
        -- photo is master of the stack
             stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photo
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is top of the stack ^2", photoName, #stackTop)
             -- check if couple if correct
        elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack already selected", photoName)
        else
             stackTop[#stackTop+1]=photoHeadOfStack
             app:logVerbose("Photo ^1 is in a stack, but not on top. Top of the stack ^2 - ^3 ", photoName, #stackTop, photoHeadName)
        end
end
end
In the if structure in the middle checking the Position in the stack, if the Position is not 1, I would like to check if the photo heading the stack ('photoHeadOfStack') is part of 'photos'. I tried 'elseif photos.photoHeadOfStack then' and 'elseif photos[photoHeadOfStack] then' but it doesn't work ->this elseif is never true even if 'photoHeadOfStack' is part of 'photos'.
Is there anyway to have this check done without checking "manually" photos ?(via for example a for Loop)
I'm sure that Lua proposes this, but I don't know how...
I thank you for your Support!

    --[[ This code creates "stackTops", an array of LrPhotos that are the
    tops of all the stacks containing photos in the array
    "photos". ]]
stackTopSet = {}
for _, photo in ipairs (photos) do
    local stackTop = photo:getRawMetadata ("topOfStackInFolderContainingPhoto")
    if stackTop ~= nil then stackTopSet [stackTop] = true end
    end
stackTops = {}
for photo, _ in pairs (stackTopSet) do table.insert (stackTops, photo) end

Beginner Question: SA520 Admin access through WAN port

Dear all,
I've a beginner question regarding my brand new SA520: How can I configure the box so that I'm able to access the admin GUI not only through the LAN ports but also from the WAN ports?
I tried already to allow inbound traffic to the firewall's internal IP address (not sure if done right, so) and granted the admin user access profile from WAN and LAN: I can access the box from the LAN but not from the WAN. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric
PS: Yupp, I know that it's not a good idea to expose a FW admin GUI to the WAN - but this is only a lab environment

Go to Administration -> Users.
click on the 'Edit User Policies' 'Login' button. It's there you can enable WAN access.

Beginner question - using pre for flexibility in text?

Hi,
Apologies for the beginner question, but I am struggling to work out whether it is more sensible to use <pre> in all my texts, as it seems more flexible.
It seems that when I use <p> - paragraph - I can't use multiple space bars to align certain bits of text, but more disruptively I have gaps between text when I press Enter (I guess this defines the paragraph, but isn't always wanted).
Well, basically, <pre> seems more flexible, but it behaves strangely sometimes. What do other people use?
Many thanks!
Ivan Reshetilov
http://www.ivanreshetilov.co.uk

Hi Ireshe, just a beginner like you. Have never heard of <pre> tags, use <p> tags. If you hit SHIFT enter after a sentence this puts in a <br> tag or line break which basically leaves a blank line between text.
If you add     &nsbp;    or lots of them between words this gives you an extra space between letters. How all your paragraphs sit on the page is defined by CSS. E.g.
p {
     margin:0;
     padding: 5px 0 0 10px;}
This would place all text within <p> tags on your page, with a 5px gap at the top, no space to the right or bottom and 10px space to the left. Hope this helps, good luck!

Beginner question: creating my own virtual instruments from samples

Hi, I have a beginner question. I'd like to make a click-track, but I want to use my own sounds, either recorded or from the internet. Can I do this with Logic Express 7, or do I need Logic Pro 7 and the EXS24?
Thanks,
Ryan

I think you can do it, but it might be a pain.
You could import a sample of a single click and just paste it into every beat on the Arrange Page.
Other than that, you might need the sampler included with Logic Pro

Simple question; Mac Server Setup for Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.

Hi Guys;
I'm new to the Mac Server world and need a few questions answered.
I have purchased a new Mac mini Server for hosting File, Web, Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.
I’m comfortable setting up File and Web Services however I’m a bit uneasy setting up Mail, iCal and Address Book services to be access locally and remotely(via the internet).
My current setup is;
Internet connection (Dynamic IP) -> Router -> Mac mini Server.
I have purchased a domain name (Thornton-net.com) from DynDns.com + a custom DNS service as I can setup my router to update my domain’s IP address automatically.
I can access File and Web Services remotely (thortnon-net.com) perfectly without any issues via the Port Forwarding feature of the Router.
If I setup Mail, iCal and Address Book Services -> will Mail, iCal and Address Book clients be able to access these services hosted by the server via Thornton-net.com?
Message was edited by: Allan.Thornton

Welcome to the forums.
For mail services (and specifically for your outbound mail to be accepted by other mail servers) your mail server needs to have a static IP address and matching forward and reverse and MX records, or a tunnel to a static IP (with matching DNS), or you need another mail server where you have an authorized relay. Without that, your mail will be considered a spam engine, and dropped.
Additionally, your particular tier of service with your ISP (with a static IP) will generally allow server-oriented access and server-oriented network traffic, where a residential or other tier of service (with a dynamic IP addresses) can be firewalled.
The ISP controls the "high ground" of the network connections here, so you pretty much get to play by their rules and requirements. If they don't offer static IP, then (presuming their T&Cs permit it) you get to tunnel (via IPv6, for instance) to a tunnel broker, and receive your network traffic via that (and with matching DNS) point of presence. That could well be a tunnel for your mail at whichever your DNS provider is here, because you'll have issues with your dynamic address. (You get to sort out if they offer that.)
Far and away the easiest approach (if you want to host this stuff yourself) is to work with the ISP. They're inherently involved in your network, and they and they alone have full control over your reverse DNS configuration.

New mac book pro setup questions

I am about to get a macbook pro dual 2.6 4gb ram 320gb 7200 hard drive.
I will be putting fc studio on it and was wondering how to arrange and use external hard drives.
I am not a big fan on letting the internal hard drives to all the work, so I have purchased a g raid 320gb using usb 2 and fw 2 now I would like to use this as my main video drive, how do I change this in fcp?
I was think of getting a second drive with same specs to maybe to all the rendering to take the pressure of the internal drives, is there a way in fcp to designate the render folder to my external drive?
As far as format goes I now shoot in HDV using sony sxs chips and import all my footage now days,
Thanks in advance,
regards
Daz

In FCP, use the System Settings menu (Shift Q) to change the default Render/Capture Scratch locations.
