Can preferences be set to override existing documents?

I have [black] text set to overprint in my preferences.
However sometimes I get a file from a client that has (unwittingly) unchecked the overprint and then the [black] text knocks out.
Is there anyway to have local preferences override a received file. It is one thing (maybe the only thing) that Quark had--the dialogue when you open a file asking if one wants the saved preferences or the files preferences.

Yeah, well I just almost sent out a file with small black type knocking out. The client sent two almost identical file different sizes for different mags. For some reason the 2nd ad/file had black over print unchecked.
Clients doing but my fault of course, of course (a horse is a horse)
unless its Mr. Ed.

  • Can't add web page to existing document

    I am new to Acrobat 9 Pro (running on Win7). I love the feature where you can convert a web page to pdf and then add a wab page to an existing document. My probelm is that I saved one page as a pdf then went to a different link on that website that appears very similar and tried to add that page to the first one. As many times as I tried, my second page will not appear.
    I did try going to an entirely different website and adding a page to the very same document and I was successful.
    Is it possible that the program won't add the similar page because it is recognizing the page to be the same? Is there a setting to override this? I need to be able to save multiple web pages that appear the same way to one document quickly and easily.

    Thank you for your response. It is possible to do this but I need the 'Add web page to existing doc' feature to work for me. I will be converting a large number of similar pages to pdf and this feature would be perfect if it worked as it is intended. Going back later to insert pages is counter-productive for me.

  • Hello; I am using Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436). I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade at one point. Now can't open existing documents. Message "The index.xml file is missing".

    Hello; I am using Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436). I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade at one point. Now can't open existing documents. Message "The index.xml file is missing". How can I correct this ?
    Thank you
    Tom

    I't not iWeb that got damaged but the domain file. The index.xml file is inside the domain.sites file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Do you have a backup of that file you can revert to?  If so then do it.  Otherwise a long shot but try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Can I import (or create) default Lightroom settings from an existing document?

    Can I import (or create) default Lightroom settings from an existing document and save them? Make them a personal default set opening with all future LR catalogs?

    Thank you, John. That brings up the question: How to build a template?
    BTW, I'm not trying to duplicate a catalog; moving it to a larger drive. When opening the newly moved catalog in LR, my former settings (identity plate, defaults, etc.) didn't migrate, though I copied the LR settings folder and its contents into the new location (drive) and opened my develop presets.

  • How can I set DPI for a document in illustrator?

    I'm designing a user interface for iPad (Resolution: 1024x768, DPI:132). Setting the resolution is a piece of cake but when I change the ruler unit to Centimeters, it shows the screen about 36x27cm which is not right (iPad screen is 24.3x19cm).
    Illustrator calculates these lengths based on the DPI. But when creating a new document the only available DPI's are: 72, 150, 300 (File > New > Raster Effect). I searched for the answer on this forum and googled it and looked into the help but couldn't find a satisfying answer. I know that Illustrator is a vector design program but there must be a way to set the DPI to an arbitrary value.
    How can I have a 1024x768px artboard in Illustrator that is 24.3x19cm? (DPI=132)

    Alex,
    only when I'm printing or saving the image for the web, Illustrator will ask me the actual width.
    Almost. Illustrator won't "ask you for the width." As with any program, when you export a vector graphic to a raster image, you have the opportunity to specify its resolution, in number of pixels.  Illustrator tries to "simplify" (and thereby often confuses) this process by providing different interfaces for the same thing. The so-called "Save For Web" interface is just another way to export a raster image (and other web-centric things, like slicing). The settings available (or at least the ones most prominate) differ between the straightforward Export dialog and the Save For Web dialog.
    My question is: how illustrator calculates these measures?
    Again: When Illustrator's rulers are set to "Pixels," they are really set to points. A point measures 1/72 inch. So Illustrator assumes a "pixel" is scaled to measure 1/72 inch, even though it may not be in a particular raster image object you have on the page.
    But when you export as a raster image (in other words, rasterize the artwork), you don't care what those pixels are scaled to due to the actual, physical, hardware dimensions of the device's monitor pixels (so-many centimeters by so-many centimeters). Regardless of whether the device's hardware pixels are gigantic or microscopic, you just care how many of them there are. So long as you export your finished artwork rasterized to that number of pixels, it will effectively be scaled (in terms of actual measure) by whatever device it is displayed on, becasue the device is going to "turn on" a monitor pixel for each pixel in your image.
    In other words, when designing purely for electronic displays (as opposed to printing), forget all about PPI, or DPI, which are nothing but scale factors, and forget about the actual measure (centimeters x centimeters, inches by inches) of the monitor.
    If I display your 1024 x 768 image in a web browser on my 15-inch-diagonal Toshiba laptop, your image is going to occupy 1024 x 768 of my monitor's pixels.
    If I display your 1024 x 768 image in a web browser on my 10-inch-diagonal Acer netbook, your image is going to occupy 1024 x 768 of my monitor's pixels, and it will display at a smaller actual size than it does on my Toshiba, because the Acer's monitor pixels are smaller than the Toshiba's monitor pixels.
    But even though the image's actual measure is smaller on the Acer, and even though your image occupies the exact same number of monitor pixels on both the Acer and the Toshiba, I will have to do some scrolling on the Acer because its monitor has fewer hardware pixels.
    So if I'm designing images to fit neatly on my Acer without the need for scrolling, I care about its screen size in terms of number of hardware pixels, not in terms of actual measure (centimeters or inches).
    I want to be able to set the lines and curves in terms of pixels.
    Because Illustrator considers a pixel to be a particular measure (1/72 inch), work with your rulers set to either the bogus PIxels or to Points (which, in Illustrator, is the same thing). Forget about the dimensions of a device screen. It doesn't matter.
    If you want to also spec type in terms of "pixels" you can also (pointlessly) set your General Prefs to use the bogus Pixles as the "Unit Of Measure". But this is pointless because in Illustrator, a so-called "Pixel" is, in fact a point already, and Points is the default UOM for type. Either way, you have to realize that any measure for type (using "Pixels" or Points) is a measure of the font's em-square, not the measure of the actual glyphs. So setting your type to "9 Pixels" doesn't mean the type characters are going to occupy 9 pixels in height.
    But you can proceed to specify line weights, box sizes, etc., etc, in terms of ruler units (bogus pixels or legitimate points).
    Alternatively, if you want, you can set your rulers to Centimeters. And then as you draw your boxes and set your stroke weights, you can specify them in terms of Points or "Pixels" by just typing "pts" or "px" after the measures you key into the various dimension fields.
    But after all this is said and done, the point you're missing is still this: All that means nothing if you don't export the resulting images to the number of pixels that you want them to occupy on the device you are designing for. In other words, you can work with your Illustrator rulers set to "Pixels" all day long; but if you then export the artwork to a raster format using a Pixels-Per-Inch setting other than 72, It won't be the right size, because Illustrator still thinks a Pixel measures one point.
    So regardless of how you have your rulers set while working, it is just simpler (and more legitimately meaningful) to export your raster images in terms of number of pixels (N pixels x n pixels), not by PPI. That brings us full-circle right back to where your question started: There is no document-wide PPI for an Illustrator file.
    But what you have to understand is this: If your design includes already-rasterized objects, the number of actual pixels included in each of those raster objects is entirely independent of whatever Illustrator's rulers say they "measure" in "Pixels". That is very important. Because if you use as part of your design a raster image that is scaled to anything other than 72 ppi, and/or that image does not align to a point-size increment of Illustrator's grid, then when you export your final product, that image is going to be re-rasterized to whatever PPI you export, based on its on-page position and the quality of that image is going to be compromized. That's why it's important to understand that "Pixels" is bogus as a unit of measure in a program like Illustrator.
    In pursuit of web- and device-centric creative markets, Adobe continues to add confusion-generating "conveniences" to Illustrator. For example, to workaround Illustrator's problematic antialiasing, version CS5 added a feature called Align To Pixel Grd which causes vertical and horizontal strokes to align to whole-"pixel" increments, to avoid antialiasing of those edges.
    There are also probably templates in your AI installation (depending on version) already set up for mobile devices, and there's the whole "Device Central" online thing, if you're inclined to use that kind of thing. So look up and read about those features.

  • Can I use FormsCentral when creating a form from existing document?

    Hi,
    I am trying to make a template in Formscentral. I want to use a picture with our corporate design for forms. I can change that in a PDF, but if I want to use that in FormsCentral, The picture is not paper wide (as it should), but leaves white margins an header and footer. But if I try to make a form and chose 'from existing document' I seem to not be able to end up in FormsCentral. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello George,
    How do I upload a PDF to the FormsCentral service? Wil I see that form then in My Forms or in the the standard templates list? I want to be able to re-use a collored PDF with no fields in it. I use this one to make several forms which will all look the same in the background.

  • How can we move our existing documents into iCloud?

    So far I've been presented with the option to save files into iCloud (textedit and the like). How can we take our existing documents (Word, Excel, TXT, PDF, etc) and store them in iCloud as well? Short of individually opening each one and saving in iCloud...

    iCloud is not intended for general file storage. (It is not iDisk.) It's also not organized the same way. Each application is responsible for interfacing with its own documents in iCloud; Word and Excel do not have the function encoded.

  • Can iMovie preferences be set for a SD 480 res video camera, my footage looks like crap expect in FCP7

    having issues with iMovie 11 importing form my standard def camera. Can 480 be set. Not shooting in HD.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello, David,
    I wouldn't say that external iSight is fragile either, but I did previously post the following opinion to
    Henry in an earlier thread when he mentioned the possibility of substituting an external iSight for a "digital video camera":
    You are certainly free to choose how you use your Mac and iSight. However, before built-in iSight was introduced, users often posted that their external iSights had stopped working during or after traveling or long storage. Although I have found no technical data that supports this, I believe that external iSight is less protected against shock, vibration, dust, and humidity than my digital camcorders. If you expect that your video interviews will involve significant travel with or movement of the external iSight, I think that using a camcorder for recording your interviews would be wiser.
    I am not certain whether this comment is what Henry interpreted as "fragile", but other readers, including those who have a choice of using an irreplaceable external iSight or their digital camcorder, might want to consider the above when choosing which camera to use for a given video task.

  • Sizing a new/existing document

    When I start a new document in InDesign, the window shows the page size with a "p" (51p0 x 66p0) which is the standard 8.5 x 11. 
    How do I change the default setting to inches?
    How do I indicate I want a new document at 6.75" width x 3.5 high?
    How do I change the document size on an existing document?

    Default units are set for new files by changing the units in the preferences with no documents open. Exisiting docs will not be affected, but you can right click the rulers (or the intersection to do both at once) and change the units any time.
    In the new document dialog enter the dimensions you want. You can use any units, even if they are not the default unit, as long as you specify what they are ( this is trues in most of ID's fileds, by the way). If you don't include a unit, ID assumes the default for that field.
    For an existing document, got to File > Document Setup... and enter the new dimensions. This will not alter the margins, by the way, which are accessed on a per page basis (or for a master page which will change all pages based on the master) from Layout > Margins and Columns... Before you make this sort of change you may want to turn on Layout Adjustment to allow frames that are snapped to guides to re-position or resize automatically. Layout > Layout Adjustment...

    Hey! 
    I just got a new mac and was trying to figure out the same thing today!! I went from an older version to this 10.9.  I called apple support, the tech had no idea what I was talking about.  I was transferred to a manager who told me that it is not feature available on the new models.  After a 40 minute conversation I was about to let it go and then I saw this post and became determined LOL ... and I figured it out (SMH apple support).  So here is how you do you it:
    system preferences > trackpad > you want to make sure the "App Expose" is checked off > and you're done!!
    I am not able to upload a 2 photos so I will post a second screenshot of what it looks like once the preferences are set.
