Can't create outlines from a placed image?

I'm using illustrator and I placed this image:
http://i500.photobucket.com/albums/e406/Aelvir/G2_zps95ce8124.png
and no matter what I do, it won't let me select "Create Outlines".

I suspect you're imagining the Create Outlines command does something more than it really does. It is most typically applied to live text to turn it into shapes, and doesn't do much else. It simply doesn't apply to image content. In fact, whenever you see it disabled, that indicates it can't be applied to the object(s) you have selected.

Creating Outline from textPath

Hi,
Going follow one of first sentence from "Adobe_intro_to_scripting" which says:
...Each scripting item corresponds to a tool or a palette or menu item in an Adobe application...
I am trying to discover how to reach effect which is obtained from InDesign UI: menu Text:create outline.
I mean situation when there is some text on path typed (any splineItem as a parent) and is selected as an item (not using text tool).
In UI: to create outline at this point means to create compound path from entire text and to remove a splineItem.
In script code: app.selection[0].createOutlines() gives error, cause this method is not available for splineItem.
One can create outline from text's on path character, word, parentStory, etc, but there are a set of separated characters converted into path and still anchored onto parent splineItem path.
If the goal is to have a compound path from entire text placed on path (keeping formats and effects) is ID UI only way to reach it?
or
Am I missing something?
thanks

Hi,
using false as option creates a duplicate with same properties as from GUI ...
var splineItem = app.selection[0];
var wholeTextOneItem = splineItem.textPaths[0].texts[0].createOutlines(false)
splineItem.remove()

Could I create outline from an OTL file?

I save an OTL file by an outline. Then when I create a new application and a new database, could I create outline from the existed OTL file?

Yes, the easiest way is to open the OTL file with application manager (or EAS), and use the "File", "Save As" menu option, then choose the server, application, and database to overwrite. Some caveates regarding data restructuring -- provided you choose to restructure without maintaining data, or you have no 'significant' changes to the outline, you should be all right. The DataBase Administrators Guide has further details on saving/overwriting outlines, but it usually comes down to common sense items (i.e., deleted members will lose data, renamed members may lose data if there is no way to link the new member to the old, etc). A lot of additional details and caveates can be mentioned here, but if the changes are minor, or you clear the database to reload it, you are fine.

How can I create a link on an image?

Firefox won't insall into my applications folder. Says can't install because libsmime3.dylib is in use. I am running Mac Os 10.6.7 on a Macbook Pro. I can run firefox okay from the disk image but just won't install into the apps folder.

My system is a Macbook Pro running Mac Os 10.6.7 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram. The upgrade downloads fine, but when I try to drag the firefox image onto my appication folder, I get a dialogue box that says...Cannot install application because "libsmime3.dylib" is in use. I can run Firefox fine from the disk image.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.

Can't create PDFs from Word due to Cambria font. Help.

I'm using win 7 32 bit office 2010 acrobat pro 9. I can't create pdfs from word because of problems with cambria. I've ttried all the fixes I can find but none worked. Any more ideas?
[thread title updated by moderator]

How are you trying to create the PDF? With AA9 you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin.
When you say you cannot create PDFs because of Cambria, what error messages are you getting and copy them here? At this point we really do not know what you are having problems with or how you are trying to create PDFs.
In the future, please provide a topic to help folks that are stepping through all of the posts. A blank topic almost led me to simply skip your post.

Looking for someone to help me to solve this issue.Maybe you are closing the connections. You might want to verify that you are not doing that. Or if you are that that is the correct way to return the connection to the pool.
Or you could have stale connections. Some databases will time out connections if the connection is no used in a while. (This is a good thing.) But this means connection pools must do something with connections that are not used for a while. The pools usually have a configuration option(s) which allows you to set up a keep alive message which keeps the database from closing the connection.

Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word. If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

Thanks for responding. Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice. Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates. So I went through and re-installed each update. Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope. When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers. I'm stumped...

Does adobe have a product that can burn a dvd from an iso image?
(The ISO image is not video, it is software).

Does adobe have a way to mount an ISO image to a virtual drive?
(Again not video)
I have encore, but have never used it. Im not sure what it does.
I assume it deals with dvd video but maybe it can handle ISO images.

Creating Outline From Image

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to create an outline out of the image, instead of manually tracing with a pen, is it possible in Illustrator using some plugins to create the outline?
The image I'd like to do so with is this one:
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc1b233iBE1qerx9uo1_500.jpg
Basically would like the camo pieces to be outline one by one separately.
Thank you.

Sorry for the brevity.
Make your tracing panel to these settings:
Then click on the Expand button.
Then Ungroup.
Then, draw a marquee or select on the edge where the next screen shot shows.
What will be selected is the outline of what would have been the White fill...then delete it.
Your pieces are all individual. You can select by color and group each color individually if desired. If you don't know how to do this, please look in the help. But in brief, select one colored item, Select menu, Same, Fill Color. This will make changing the color of all like-colored items easy.

Can't create VM from template on iSCSI

Hello,
I'm trying to create new VM from original Oracle template "OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_PVM_4GB" on iSCSI device without a success.
Steps to reproduce:
1) /OVS is mounted as iSCSI block device
2) Original Oracle template is copied into /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_PVM_4GB
3) Oracle VM Manager - Import template (no problem)
4) Oracle VM Manager - Create VM from template
Result: Files are copied into running_pool, vm.cfg is updated, new VM is visible in VM Manager but with this message:
failed: <Exception: Error updating the image.> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 471, in config_vm raise Exception("Error updating the image.")
5) Oracle VM Manager - Start new VM
Result:
Status in VM is Running
I can connect using VNC console
But the VM is constantly rebooting with these messages on the console:
Registering block device major 202
xvda: xvda1 xvda2 xvda3
xvda: p2 exceeds device capacity
xvda: p3 exceeds device capacity
Waiting for driver initialization.
xvda: rw=0, want=101530648, limit-12707414
attemp to access beyond end of device
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Looks like there is a problem with partition sizes within the VM image file (xvda: p2 exceeds device capacity)
I've tried to mount iSCSI formated with ocsf2 and ext3 - I'm getting the same error.
However there is no problem when I mount /OVS as NFS or local drive and repeat the steps above.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated,
Honza

It's all sorted now.
What I've learnt: OVS/Xen hypervisor doesn't seem to handle 4kB iSCSI block sizes.
I had to change it to 512 bytes (configuration on the iSCSI storage - nothing on the Oracle VM side) and re-create all volumes.
Just in case you experience something similar.

Can I create a Win 7 Recovery Image *Bootable* USB THUMB DRIVE? -- (Instead of cd/dvd)

Hi
Can someone share how to create a
Windows 7 Recovery Image USB THUMB BOOTABLE DRIVE? -- I mean in place of the Boot DVD that Windows Backup offers to create after you've created an image?
I assume that there must be a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!!

Juke, Thanks, but my question remains not answered,
I only want to know one thing.
***How do I create a USB BOOT "DISK" using a USB Drive.  Not the IMAGE --just the boot files
     In other words, I want my 2 gig USB THUMB DRIVE to behave just like the Recovery CD/DVD.
     I only want the steps of how to create the BOOTABLE USB.
     (Forget about the image --- I keep the image on on another hard drive, and NOT the USB)

How to create outline from perfstat.stats$SQL_PLAN table

How do I create outline (Plan stability in 10gR2database) from perfstat.stats$SQL_PLAN table?
Current V$SQL_PLAN does not contain good but but week older snapshots have good plan.
I can't modify query, it's vendor query so I need to create outline/plan stability.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for reply.
I'm not saying I find it out doc but here is situation.
I have query which change execution plan week ago.
I have perfstat enable and I found out good execution plan from perfstat.stat$SQL_PLAN view.
If it's our query I can modify query and able to get good execution plan but it's vendor supplied query (which is Oracle - it used to be Portal now Oracle acquired it) so I can't modified it.
All I'm trying to do is how do I generate good plan and assigned to vendor query's hash_value/sql_id.If DBMS_ADVANCED_REWRITE is not an option for you and you want to use an outline, there is one significant problem. The Statspack captured data does not include quite enough information, in particular the OTHER_XML column, and the access predicates. So, what can you do? Note that this script is from page 214 of the book that I co-authored. Let's say you execute this SQL statement:
SQL> SELECT
2    SQL_ID,
3    COUNT(DISTINCT PLAN_HASH_VALUE) C
4 FROM
5    PERFSTAT.STATS$SQL_PLAN_USAGE
6 GROUP BY
7    SQL_ID
8 HAVING
9    COUNT(DISTINCT PLAN_HASH_VALUE)>1;
SQL_ID         C
0fr8zhn4ymu3v 2
0h6b2sajwb74n 2
1gu8t96d0bdmu 2
39m4sx9k63ba2 2
4b57myt9mpz37 3
52tr7ay85qwn0 5
…Interesting, SQL_ID has 2 different execution plans, let's take a look at the execution plans:
SQL> SET LINESIZE 150
SQL> SET PAGESIZE 10000
SQL> SPOOL StatspackPlan.txt
SQL> SELECT /*+ ORDERED */
2    T.*
3 FROM
4    (SELECT DISTINCT
5       PLAN_HASH_VALUE

9       SQL_ID='0fr8zhn4ymu3v'
10     ORDER BY
11       PLAN_HASH_VALUE) SPU,
12    TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY(
13      'PERFSTAT.STATS$SQL_PLAN',
14      NULL,
15      'TYPICAL -PREDICATE -NOTE',
16      'PLAN_HASH_VALUE='||SPU.PLAN_HASH_VALUE)) T;
| Id | Operation                   | Name       | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |
|* 0 | SELECT STATEMENT            |            |       |       |     2 (100)|          |

|* 2 |   TABLE ACCESS CLUSTER| OPQTYPE$ |       |
|* 3 |    INDEX UNIQUE SCAN | I_OBJ#   |       |
--------------------------------------------------As can be seen by the above, in one case the I_OBJ# index was used, and in another case the I_OPQTYPE1 index was used. Let's assume that I_OPQTYPE1 is the most efficient access path, so a hint like this needs to be inserted (assuming that the table does not have an alias in the SQL statement:
/*+ INDEX(OPQTYPE$ I_OPQTYPE1) */Now what (obviously, we would not want to actually fix the above plan for an internal SQL statement)? Take a look at the following, which shows how to build a private outline for the unhinted version of the SQL statement, an outline for a hinted version, and then swap the resulting outlines, followed by building a public outline from the hacked outline:
