Best desktop publisher for MBP coming from Microsoft publisher

Hey gang,
My wife has a small business.  She now has two MPB.  She runs one with Parallels and windows XP because she is in love with Microsoft publisher for making newsletters and similar.  I am going to buy her a new MBP and want to go to Yosemite and get her off Windows.  We have Pages, Numbers, Excel, Powerpoint, keynote etc.  What software would you recommend that she can use and make the easy transition of Publisher to whatever?  Can .pub files be opened in other applications?  Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Michael

Here's a link to an article describing some of the options for converting Publisher files:
http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/publisher/f/share_pubfiles.htm
If she is actually making do with Publisher, Pages might be sufficient, but there are plenty of options: Swift Publisher, Scribus, Printworks, eventually Affinity Publisher (not yet available for the Mac OS but in the works).

  • ASA5500: TCP state bypass for traffic, coming from IPsec tunnel

    Hello!
    We have problems on central firewall with restricting traffic coming from remote office from IPsec. (The network sheme is attached)
    All branch offices are connected to central asa though IPsec.
    The main aim is to rule access from branch offices only on the central firewall, NOT on each IPsec tunnel
    According to the sheme:
    172.16.1.0/24 is on of the branch office LANs
    10.1.1.0/24 and 10.2.2.0/24 are central office LAN
    The crypto ACL looks like  permit ip 172.16.1.0/24 10.0.0.0/8
    The aim is to
    restrict access from 172.16.1.0/24 to 10.1.1.0/24
    When packets are generated from host 10.1.1.10 to 172.16.1.0/24 all is ok -  they are dropped by acl2
    When packets are generated from 172.16.1.0/24 to 10.1.1.10 they are not dropped by any ACL - the reason is stateful firewall - traffic bypasses all access lists on a back path
    I thought that TCP State Bypass feature can solve this problem and disable stateful firewall inspection for traffic coming from 172.16.1.0/24 to 10.1.1.0/24, but it didn't help.
    The central asa 5500 is configured according to cisco doc http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/conns_tcpstatebypass.html
    access-list tcp_bypass_acl extended permit tcp 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
    class-map tcp_bypass_map
    description "TCP traffic that bypasses stateful firewall"
    match access-list tcp_bypass_acl
    policy-map tcp_bypass_policy
    class tcp_bypass_map
    set connection advanced-options tcp-state-bypass
    service-policy tcp_bypass_policy interface outside
    service-policy tcp_bypass_policy interface inside
    Does anyone know, how to make TCP State Bypass works properly?

    I understand the pain of creating diffrent crypto for diffrent tunnels but i never come across better solution. However TCP state bypass is not going to help in regards to restrict access. TCP state bypass is a way to for FW to act like router which does not do statefull and I dont think that fits in your scenario.
    You can still control access on center site by using vpn-filters.

  • Best settings for professional printing quality .pdf from Microsoft Publisher file?

    Hello,
    I have created a couble of design documents in Microsoft Publisher, and would like them professionally printed. The printer who will print them has asked me to send him the artwork as a .pdf, with crop marks, color density bars and registration marks.
    I have Acrobat X Pro, and have tried to use the print AdobePDF function from within Microsoft Publisher but I am struggling to get the best quality result with all the printer marks. Can anyone suggest what are the best setting for a professional .pdf?
    I have chosen 'Press Quality' print settings and that helps to make the images look good. But I cant make it work with CMYK? The Adobe printing function doesnt seem to like the 'Composite CMYK' selection needed to make the printing marks available?
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Liz

    Try the "Smallest Size" Preset. As a side note, you can reduce the ppi from 300 to 150 in Image > image size (resample on) to reduce file size and keep quality.

  • Problem with creating pdf from Microsoft Publisher 2013

    We are having problems in creating pdfs from Microsoft Publisher2010- When the function 'Adobe PDF' is selected and 'Print' is clicked on nothing happens. The progress bar just sits there for several minutes without creating a pdf. We have to click on cancel and when this is done this crashes Microsft Publisher.
    I have repaired this using the repair facility in Acrobat 9. I have also uninstalled Acrobat 9 and reinstalled this.
    I have also uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and reinstalled Adobe Reader 9.
    Before uninstalling Acrobat I also ran the updates but this didnt help either.
    This is on a Windows 7 PC (64-bit)
    Adobe Acroabt 9 Pro Extended
    Microsoft Publisher 2010.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    MS Publisher 2010 is not supported by the Acrobat 9 Family; and the PDFMaker extension for Publisher has been removed completely from the Acrobat XI Family, so upgrading won't help either. Sorry!

  • When printing to Adobe PDF from Microsoft Publisher, the text on page 2 is not 100% black

    Hi there
    I'm using Microsoft Publisher 2013 to print to an Adobe PDF file (I have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.)
    I sent the PDF to my printing house but they can't print it because the text on page 2 is not 100% black. In Publisher, the text colour on both pages is CMYK 0/0/0/100.
    I created a test file in which I copied the text from page 1 onto page 2 so both pages are identical. However, the PDF created from that file, when I click Print Production, Output Preview and de-select Process Black, all the text on page 1 disappears (as expected) but none of the text on page 2 disappears! It seems that Publisher and/or Acrobat is printing the text on page 1 correctly but not page 2. Does anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong?
    Here's a link to the two files: Dropbox - ShareAdobeComm
    Would much appreciate some help if anybody can please point me in the right direction. Thank you.
    (I'm seriously evaluating upgrading from my current 3rd party PDF writer to Adobe.)

    Do not use the PDF Maker, but print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if that meets you need. If you need some of the tools of PDF Maker, then turn on only those you need, not them all. Check to be sure that the graphics are indeed being downsampled and possibly go back and reduce the graphics you have in the WORD file so that you are at least not using millions of colors, 256 max. Also consider using straight B&W if color is not needed, or at least gray-scale.

  • Best export settings for SVHS video from Premiere Elements 12

    Hi
    when I view my SVHS video on screen via premiere elements 12 the quality looks very good. However, when I edit the video and save, the quality is quite poor.
    I need to know what is the best settings to save my video. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thank you Tom

    I have some questions to ask and some suggestions to make for your consideration after you have concluded your discussions with SG.
    1. Am I assuming correctly that you used a firewire connection for your ADVC-55 capture? And, if so, what did you capture into - Premiere Elements 12 Capture Windows to give you DV AVI Type 2? In the gspot readout (to the left of the dialog), what does it say about the Container.
    2. Assuming that you have DV AVI Type 2 (4:3) files saved to your computer hard drive, have you tried
    For DVD-VIDEO PAL Standard Format on DVD disc
    a. Open Premiere Elements 12 new project to Expert workspace, File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings....Change project preset to PAL DV Standard....before leaving that area, making sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
    b. Then back in the Premiere Elements 12 workspace, Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag you DV AVI to the Timeline.
    c. After edits and maybe menu application,
    Publish+Share/Disc/DVD burn to disc
    check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"
    Preset = PAL Dolby DVD
    Before hitting Burn in the burn dialog, note what the readings are in the burn dialog for Space Required and Bitrate. If the Bitrate is 8.00 Mbps at that point, that is good. More on that later.
    For Export To File (AVCHD.mp4)
    If you want to export, your Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive, please consider
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    MP4 - PAL DV Standard
    If your details are other than that which I assumed, please let us know.
    We will be watching for further discussions and results.
    Thank you.

  • COLLECT statement in start routine of update rules for data coming from R/3

    Hi,
    I have more than one record with the same key combination that comes from R/3. I have a condition wherein I write into an error log. Hence I want only ione entry to be written into a error log and not multiple instances.
    I had written a similar one for ODS.
    Loop at IT_ODS into WA_ODS.
    Collect WA_ODS into IT_SUM.
    How to collect data that is coming in from R/3. Any inputs?

    Hi,
    I think, by using ATEND you can acheive control break logic.

  • Best ssd drive for MBP

    Hi
    Was wanting to fit a fit a SSD drive to my 2012 MBP,Havent really any knowledge about SSD,was looking a fair sized drive and wanted the OS on it,do I have to buy a new OS to do this,I would not be carrying out this myself,could anybody please give me a rough estimate of what this would cost to do in £'s...
    Thank You

    I would go for a Samsung 840 Pro Series as they are highly rated.   I suggest checking amazon.co.uk for pricing and gettng the biggest one you can budget (i.e. the 512GB drive).  The non-pro 840 series is also rated well but uses newer NAND technology and is slower writing data.  Not sure who would do this work in the UK for you.
    If you do decide to do it yourself, installation is pretty easy on the mid-2012 MacBook Pro.  Just need a #00 philips and a T6 torx driver and the ability to be careful and follow directions closely.  Insturctions can be found here on ifixit's site.
    Regarding the OS installation, I suggest getting a USB external enclosure for your old drive and using a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your existing OS onto the new drive which will retain everything as is and you'll be back up and running in no time.  Otherwise you'll need some sort of bootable installation media to boot from in order to format the new SSD and install Mac OS X.
    Good luck!
    Edit: added detail, corrected typo.

  • Looking for best design approach for moving data from one db to another.

    We have a very simple requirement to keep 2 tables synched up that live in 2 different databases. There can be up to 20K rows of data we need to synch up (nightly).
    The current design:
    BPEL process queries Source DB, puts results into memory and inserts into Target DB. Out of memory exception occurs. (no surprise).
    I am proposing a design change to get the data in 1000 row chunks, something like this:
    1. Get next 1000 records from Source DB. (managed through query)
    2. Put into memory (OR save to file).
    3. Read from memory (OR from a file).
    4. Save into Target DB.
    Question is:
    1 Is this a good approach and if so, does SOA have any built in mechanisms to handle this? I would think so since I believe this is a common problem - we don't want to reinvent the wheel.
    2. Is it better to put records into memory or writing to a file before inserting into the Target DB?
    The implementation team told me this would have to be done with Java code, but I would think this would be out of the box functionality. Is that correct?
    I am a SOA newby, so please let me know if there is a better approach.
    Thank you very much for your valued input.
    wildeman

    Hi,
    After going through your question, the first thing that came to my mind is what would be the size of the 20K records.
    If this is going to be huge then even the 1000 row logic might take significant time to do the transfer. And I think even writing it to a file will not be efficient enough.
    If the size is not huge then probably your solution might work. But I think you will need to decide on the chunk size based on how well your BPEL process will work. Possible you can try different size and test the performance to arrive at an optimal value.
    But in case the size is going to be huge, then you might want to consider using ETL implementations. Oracle ODI does provide such features out of the box with high performance.
    On the other hand, implementing the logic using the DBAdapter should be more efficient than java code.
    Hope this helps. Please do share your thoughts/suggestions.
    Thanks,

  • CUP 5.3 - Role Reaffirmation for roles coming from ERM

    Hi All,
    our source system for roles in the CUP is the ERM.
    can i do Role Reaffirmation for those  roles ? because i saw that they don't come with validity dats
    Thanks
    Yudit

    Hi,
      My personal recommendation would be to either go with spreadsheet or backend system. Even when you bring roles from SAP system, it doesn't have any role reaffirm date as there is no such field in backend system. If you want to maintain roles properly then please configure them in spreadsheet so if you need to do mass changes it would be very easy to perform those updates.

  • Learning Curve for Rules - coming from HFM 9.3.3 to 11.1.2 Cal Mgr

    We are currently are on 9.3.3 for HFM, Planning, and Essbase and contemplating an upgrade to 11.1.2.2. In the documents for 11.1.2.2, I read that we will have to migrate to calc manager for the rules. We are currently on the classic versions for each application rather than EPMA.
    Whats the learning curve for moving to calc manager? Are people taking a class on it or picking up on their own?

    Hi all,
    I just completed an installation of 11.1.2.2 and I am testing various applications in order to assess the situation and propose to my clients.
    Calculation manager is not the only way to maintain your rule file. As I have seen Oracle has discuntinued the Rule Editor but you can use any notepad to edit your rules (Notepad ++ for example) and load the rule file Workspace.
    I am not really impressed from calculation manager yet. Definately in one of the following versions we will have to migrate all the rule files but I do not believe that we can do that in this version. For example in my files there is a huge issue of displaying the variables....

  • Using alias for sending email from Microsoft Exchange

    Hi there, 
    I have Exchange 2010 server installed.
    There are 5 domains hosted on this server.
    I can receive mail if sent fo email@domain1, @domain2 etc...
    I cannot send mail using email@domain2 , it always goes out as @domain1
    How can I resolve this issue ?
    many thanks for any help

    Long standing question as to how to choose the sending domain name as (be default) must be a default set. You can change the default in ESM, but I am guessing you want to allow senders to choose on the fly.
    Since there are multiple ways of accomplishing this do an internet search on the following:
    exchange 2010 multiple domains ability choose sending address
    This is probably the best single explanation:
