Canopus Life preview?

Is there anyone who knows if the canopus ADVC55 is able to just let me watch a conected devices output(I mean without any import buttons all over the screen. I want to connect my old vhs recorder to it to only use my mac as the monitor. I also ask myself if I can play my old genesis games in realtime if I hook the console to the ADVC55 and open up iMovie or any other apple app.

Guys
What is an i life preview.

If you think you might want your GB song to be easily available for you to use in iMovie, iWeb, etc., then yes, it will complete you.
If you don't think you'll need your GB song to be easily available for you to use in iMovie, iWeb, etc., then you're already complete.

  • Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 freezes on output to VHS and other weridness!!!

    Gents and Ladies,
    First time poster...I feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside...really I do...
    My Brand New G5 dual 2.7GHz blah blah blah is freezing up on out put to VHS. I am using a JVC SR-VS30 Mini-DV/SVHS dual deck.
    Why VHS? I work for a school district and that's the cheapest stock possible.
    Anyway... the board meeting tape I output last night all the sudden freezes after like 45 minutes of recording. It litterally screwed up right after I left the office last night. I actually stayed with it for 45 minutes and "held its hand" to make sure everything went along alright. Right after it left..."feeeze frame, freeze frame...now freeze..du du du na na na"...did you ever hear that song?
    Anyway...to make a long story short...while watching the tape this morning...it was just stuck for like an hour like that. I turned it off after 30 seconds but after fast fwd'n the tape...it just kept recording like that.
    Totally unbelieveable. I love how Macs need to rest before it starts to work. It grabs a cup of Joe and a bagel...reads the morning paper...returns a few emails...then it MIGHT be ready to work...if your lucky. And then...if your not looking...it'll randomly fail. I love that...so..what I do...is I try to trick it into working for me...yeah...I trick it...:)
    Anyway...so I want to run Disk Warrior. My screen saver is turned off, my hard drives don't go to sleep, all the things you might think would cause it to go off line over the course of 3 hours... I have turned off. It would seem...at least to me...that when it tries to Auto Save the glitch kicks in.
    The other thing is that I record the meetings on an NNovia Quick Capture HD DVR via Firewire. It has worked many times before...flawlessly. The copy is fine...the file in Final Cut is fine. It even previews to a TV monitor nicely...but on output...its choking on the toothpaste when rinsing.

    G5 Dual 2.7ghz H2o cooled   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Double dipping on RAM

    O.K. cool.
    I did change Auto Save before any of this even happens. I made all these very changes on my previous dual 2.0 G5. That machine...although much slower...always worked...never faultered...very dependable. Quite honestly the best Mac I ever worked on...until new versions of stuff came out and ruined all my fun.
    I have changed all the pertinant settings...at least I thought.
    Do any of you think I should ask for the upgrade to 5.0? Does it have any fixes in it that make it worth it? The new machine is what has made the bugs pop up. For a while it wasn't even recognizing my deck then one day it started working. Any thoughts on that... let me know. I am not a huge fan of the Dual JVC deck but it has worked pretty well. Now I use this DVR and it works really well for long running board meetings. At least VHS does what its told...:) With DV you always got to wonder if you've dropped some frames. Even if I am recording to a Hard Drive.
    Before this gig I worked on the "last run" dual something G4 Quicksilver's and they all ran horrible. FCP3 and bugs everywhere. After that disaster I then jumped ship all together to a Canopus Premiere Pro system on a DVStorm2 Pro + card. That is a nice system. Great Chroma Key stuff. Now at this gig I have been working in Mac again. I was hugely surprised by how well the G5 performed. It did get a little slow for me eventually. Honestly my single P4 in combonation with the Canopus Realtime Preview Board really beat it up quite badly. Even that still had to render in the end but at least I could see everything while I was working. Render time was pretty fast in the end too. I think that has been my favorite DV Editing solution on PC.
    I really like Final Cut Pro. I think it quick and dirty...just the way I like it. I started out learning on Avid and if the company I worked for used it...I would prefer that truthfully but I have been riding FCP for 3 years and counting and every place I work at is Mac so...I am totally on this boat.
    Any opinions on the Intel stuff yet? I would be interested in perf as I would like to get a Mac system at home and sell my Canopus rig...all thought I do love it so.
    BTW...no...no error messages at all...
    ...and I would've styaed with it last night if I didn't have to finally leave after another 10 hour day...tonight I have a 2 hour video after work and then Sat/Sun we have a huge music festival and that will 2 12hr days...so...if I didn't need sleep...I would'e been able to stay some more...
    ;)~
    ...Oh and I have a 250 GB Serial ATA system drive and a 250 GB A/V Storage drive.
    FCP stuff on A/V Drive
    iMovie/iDVD stuff on system
    ...has always seemed to run better like this.
    Many thanks for the ideas and for any future input.

  • Custom component not designable

    Even if I copy an SDK component into my project, that
    component no longer renders correctly on the designer surface. Why
    is this? Is there any way to make FB render local components in the
    designer?

    As much as I don't like Flash components, here is a couple of things that you must implement:
    1. You have avatar clip on timeline in live preview.
    2. You implement setSize method in live preview class.
    So, do you have these two things in your life preview class?

  • Help urgently needed re- random crackle in GB

    Hi all, been using GB for 2 years and have suffered on and off with random crackles while recording or especially when mixing or converting to an i-life preview or itunes, lately though it seems to be onevery track and stopping me from finishing my album. Im no tech master but Ive done a lot fo checks with my m audio fast track interface and my imac and cannot be sure still which is the culprit..ive disconnected my fast track and done tests converting i-life previews of songs and Im still getting random 5-10 second crackles all the time so im guessing its some kind of problem matching the interface with my imac, but whyis it so random and why can some songsbe worked on effortlessly without this noise and others have it  a lot- the crackle cna appear at quiet moments a lot but also it can be anywhere within a song. I use a lot of internal GB Fx but do ahve large RAM to cope with it I think. As I say any advice or anyone that has suffered with this particularly in mastering or the end stages of converting to itunes etc please any help appreciated. There must be a solution.

    hi,
    ive spent a week on this one song trying every possible version to eradicate the crackle. Ive dumped excess Fx's and tracks that werent really that important. I even heard and saw the crackle show up on one particular LED track volume bar and so I thought great Ive found which AU plugin is causing the prob, which was  a synth called Podolski. So i muted this track and did another mix without it.....crackle still on the song.
    Can i emphasise that I dont hear the crackle very often or atall on some songs when playing the song in GB...it always comes after Ive done the i-life preview in GB or comverted to itunes to hear it so its hard to tell if its actaully on the song itself or that the crackle is something that is caused by diffrent buffer systems speeds battling with each other. Since you cant alter GB buffer preferences I am lost as to what to do now.
    the song has quite a lot of FX and about 10 tracks in total. Ive tried to minimize the amount of mastering FX in GB on this song aswell. PLease any ideas?

  • Is there software to preview input from Canopus converter?

    I would like to view the input from a converted Videotape ... for quality and positioning ... without importing it into iMovie. (I can't see the video unless I import it and I assume that is the way iMovie is supposed to work.)
    I tried "Video Viewer" but, although it recognized that I had the ADVC-110 converter connected, it did not display any video when I played the tape.
    Is there any other software that works?

    Patricia, that is not normal behaviour, and would prevent 'selective imports' into iMovie. You should be able to start and stop and re-start the actual import, by pressing either the import button or the pause button.
    I can think of two real-life examples (drawn from my life that is!): half your holiday is on one camera tape, the other half on another. You obviously only want only one iMovie project, so you pause the import while you change the tape in the camera.
    You are walking back from the beach/park to your car parked a mile away, which takes 15 minutes. When you look at the marvelous footage you shot in the park/on the beach, you find that you have 15 minutes of closeups of your feet moving on the pavement because you forgot to switch your camera off before you slung it over your shoulder! Not a lot of point in importing 4GB worth of *p only to have to delete it again!
    I suggest you delete iMovie's plist file and repair permissions, then try again.

  • Previewing page in IE on Mac

    Hi!
    I am new to Dreamweaver and need to know if Windows based
    Internet Explorer will work in Browser Preview if run on a Mac.
    I tried to download IE for Mac but found that it was
    discontinued. So before I will go and buy IE 7.0 can someone pls
    let me know if I will run into any issues running a Windows-based
    version of IE trying to preview a page in Browser Check - but using

    If you have an Intel Mac there is a program that you install
    (based on
    WINE) that allows you to just download and and install IE6
    and run from
    a Mac. IF your using a PowerPC unit your out of luck.
    If you send me your email address though I have a working
    .DMG file of
    IE 5.2.3 the last version for Mac. works great on OSX.3.9.
    Somewhat on
    OSX.4.11 and have no earthly idea whether it will even fire
    up on
    leopard (X.5)

  • Preview in Browser and Adobe Browser Lab show website differently? Please help

    Hi...working on my first website and I have a question about the differences in viewing the site through
    choosing file...preview in browser....
    from within Dreamweaver, and using the Adobe Browser Lab to view the website.
    There seems to be a very significant difference between the two. When I preview firefox from within dreamweaver, my site is just how I want it.
    When I go to browser lab, it is...well... a disaster.
    I'm attaching screenshots of the two as well as my code, so it can show how different they are. Here is a screenshot of the website as it looks when I use the preview in browser function from within dreamweaver to view it in firefox. This is how I'd like it to look.
    And here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I preview it in Adobe Browser Lab in Firefox.
    The quote is underneath the logo, the left div text is flowing over the center div, the nav bar graphics are too narrow, the photo is hanging outside the div it should be contained in. Not what I want.
    Does anyone have any insight into how I would fix this or which version is correct?
    I'm stumped. This is my first website: shouldn't these two things be similar? And which one is correct?
    and here is my code:

    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
    2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
    3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
    4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

    Thanks for your help.

    You are using % widths for your layout which means it will look different depending of the size of each users monitor. Although this is probably the better way to go these days, it is not one size fits all and will work more effectively if you include min and max widths, and also media queries that change your layout depending on the monitor size. This is more advanced coding and will take time if you want to do that. Alternatively, you could design using pixel widths and have it look consistent across all desktop browsers and throw a few media queries in for the mobile side.

  • I use preview for my work and since switching to Lion it's unusable.

    Preview has become useless to me. I have to resize photos to upload them at my newspaper. Sometimes, for some God-known reason, I have to switch formats and switch back to make them upload on my website. In the old Preview, I could simply do a screenshot, open it, select "save as..." and save it as a jpg, then adjust the size, save it to my folder and then upload it.
    The new version forces me to duplicate. If I then save the duplicate as a jpg, (or anything else) I can't do anything else to it because it says I don't have permission. I have to then find it in finder and change the permission on EACH photo, trying to change the permissions on the whole folder doesn't work. Once I've done that, I have to make ANOTHER duplicate, resize that, and save it. Soon I have versions of the photo all over my computer.
    Conversely, I could resize it first, and then save it, but if I resize it as a PNG (which is what a screen shot is) and then save it as a jpg, it throws the size off.
    If I upload the thing as a PNG it comes out smaller than does a JPG.
    Furthermore, in the last Preview, the Save As.... option included a slider that allowed you to change the size in KB. Now it jsut shows a slider from best quality to least quality. Given that so many website limit KB size to 50 or 60, I am surprised that it's so hard to adjust to a specific number of KB!!! I have to keep guessing on Preview to get the photo as close to 60 as possible without going over!
    If any part of this problem resonates with anyone, if anyone knows of something I don't know about in Preferences or something, for God's sake, my work life just got very difficult and any help is appreciated.
    Also, somehow iPhoto got uninstalled on my computer. How can I reinstall it? Maybe I coudl do this photo resizing more easily in iPhoto and heck with Preview?
    Note: I tried resizing on line, but it's very slow. Also requires intense guess work to get the KB right.

    What happened was I selected the folder in the finder window, chose "get info" scrolled down and saw just the same thing you have there in the image.
    I clicked the lock, chose a photo, did a screen shot (which landed on my desktop), retrieved the screen shot, put it in the folder with the original, then saved it as a jpg. (This is what my impossible website seems to make me do photos that came to me really large. It's not enough the merely resize it, I have to screen shot it, return the screen shot to a jpg, then resize it, and it will load. I have tech support working on that, but in the mean time, it's what i've got.)
    So I then opened the jpg and tried to resize it....and got the same error message! You don't have permission! And I opened finder, found the jpg, clicked get info, and lo, same thing you show above, even though I'd theoretically changed permissions on that whole folder! And here's the kicker, I'm the person who supposedly has permission to read and write, but it doesn't seem to recognize me, and won't give me permission to edit my own dang photo!
    Oh, GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

  • Preview - can't select a portion of created PDF

    Hi All,
    I'm not new the support community (have been able to resolve many an issue by searching), but this is the first time I'm posting.
    So, I've created a document via Pages and then saved it as PDF (using the print dialog box).  It's a form I use for work.  The form works mostly like a charm, even check boxes, etc.  However, there are three rows of text I have on the second page that I cannot highlight for the life of me.  The problem is that those are the three lines in which I (of course) need to be able to highlight text.
    The relevant part of the form is set up as follows (with [ ] denoting a check box):
    Intro Text (w/12 pt space after paragraph)
    [ ] Text 1     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
    [ ] Text 2     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
    [ ] Text 3     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
    [ ] Text 4     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3 (etc.)
    [ ] Text 5     (tabbed space)     Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3
    (lots of tabbed space)             Option 4 / Option 6 (etc.
    (space)
    Other text
    The bottom two rows (rows 4 & 5) in that list consisting of Text 1-5 can be highlighted just fine - I can highlight any portion, even individual letters.  The Intro Text and the text following the list can also be highlighted normally.  Even the parts that read "Text 1/2/3" can be highlighted, but I can't highlight the individual options in lines 1-3.  The only time that will highlight is if I highlight everything top to bottom, and only after I get past the paragraph starting with Line 5, Option 4.  And in that case it highlights everything, not individual options.
    I've posted a couple of screenshots below to help a bit.  Anyone has any input?  I can't make it work at all.  I edited and re-edited the original Pages doc a million times.  I can't figure things out on the Preview side of it either.  Please help!
    For reference:
    OS is Mavericks with all new relevant updates.
    Screenshots:
    Example of cannot highlight in row 1-3:
    Example of all rows highlighted:
    This is what I need to do in each individual row (right now only works for rows 4 & 5):

    You can only edit an entire graphic, not parts. In addition, you can not do the edit in Reader. In both of the cases you describe, you should be able to select the image to edit. The process you are using sounds like a graphic copy (at the screen resolution) which is far from an optimal process for getting the graphics. You can save all graphics to the hard drive and edit those, retaining all of the resolution of the original.
    In terms of the two cases, it sounds like the second shop may have set security to not allow copying of the graphic screen.

  • Images broken in DW CS4 LiveView & browser preview.

    Hey everyone, need some major help here.
    I'm very new to dreamweaver. I am experienced with graphics and art but anything related to code I epicly fail at... So talk with me like I'm three if possible.
    I built my first site for my small sword making business recently, and managed to get it on the web:
    http://maddwarfworkshop.com/
    I'm happy with the site visually but I know there are some underlying hidden flaws. First being how it functions in DW itself.
    I know plenty of people run into the issue of not being able to see their images while in design view, but mine is the exact opposite.
    My images show up as a tiny blue question mark box in Live View... As well as when I preview it in a browser localy on my machine.
    I think I know why it might be happening but dont know how to fix it...
    When I insert an image DW codes it as such:
    <img src="/images/madintro.jpg" width="470" height="267" />
    The problem seems to lie in DW adding the "/" in front of "images"
    when I manually go in and take out the "/" the image shows magically shows up as it should.
    Why has dreamweaver suddenly defaulted to making bad code? what did I do to cause this issue? And obviously how can I change it back to work again and make the image show in my DW workspace?
    I'm sure it lies in my crappy knowledge of understanding how to use templates.
    Also..
    If anyone could I would love a comrehensive critique of the site I built and how to clean it up, how to make the code right, and get things working as they should to propor standards.

    I know its kinda a lot to ask but I know zero people in person who can help me, and am extremely desperate and absolutely obsessed with making this site the very best I am capable of.
    Any resources, videos, tips, whatever would be beyond appreciated!...
    Thank you so much!
    Dave D.

    I know plenty of people run into the issue of not being able to see their images while in design view, but mine is the exact opposite.
    My images show up as a tiny blue question mark box in Live View... As well as when I preview it in a browser localy on my machine.
    I think I know why it might be happening but dont know how to fix it...
    When I insert an image DW codes it as such:
    <img src="/images/madintro.jpg" width="470" height="267" />
    The problem seems to lie in DW adding the "/" in front of "images"
    when I manually go in and take out the "/" the image shows magically shows up as it should.
    Why has dreamweaver suddenly defaulted to making bad code? what did I do to cause this issue? And obviously how can I change it back to work again and make the image show in my DW workspace?
    Yes, the slash is exactly the problem. That is known as a Site-root relative link.These types of link are good to use in Templates because they are always the same. They don't need to be "fixed' when you generate a page from your Template into a different folder.
    The downside of using Site-root reltive links, is that you can't access the files locally. You must get the page from a web server. One exception to that is using Preview in Browser (PIB) "Temp" files.
    Read this Tech Note about setting up a Testing Server so you can see these files in Live View and PIB:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2008/12/live_view_and_siteroot_relativ.html
    If you want to switch back to using Document relative links, then setthe Relative to: field to be "Document" in the "Browse for file" dialog (folder button next to Link field in PI). This setting is sticky, so all future link will use the same setting.
    Hope this helps,
    Randy

  • Page looks different in Preview and Browser

    I am using the Acordion Widget on the left hand side of my page and have inserted video from a third party to the right side.
    When I click "PREVIEW", I see the page displayed as in the top image. When I click "PREVIEW PAGE IN BROWSER", it shows up as in the bottom image, which, by the way, is the way I designed it to look. Is there a reason for this discrepancy and which should I trust more? I'm not ready to publish yet, so how can I check it in a real world environment?
    I'm losing the top and bottom "bookend" images around the Acordion Widget as well as the bottom button. And the video window and text are skewed off to the right.
    Please help.

  • Using Google GWT to create (Dashcode) widgets for iBook Author  I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pa

    I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pages (for example, http://softoption.us/content/node/437 scroll to the bottom). In theory, iBookAuthor can bring in most html5, and much javascript. The technique is to wrap the html in a folder, with 2 extra files, a plist and a default png and then change the extension of the folder to ‘.wdgt’. This is the technique for making Dashboard widgets for the Mac, and Apple even have the Dashcode software to do it. So what you really do is to make a Dashboard widget, then iBookAuthor can import it.  So far, so good. And some  folk have been doing this, for example http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9242432.htm http://www.panophoto.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10417&p=158330#p158423 However, if you start with GWT and create a single page with one button and a Hello World, compile it, and get the WAR file (I use Eclipse here)… the Safari browser and others will run it properly (even on an iPad). Then if you wrap it, a proper Dashboard widget is created, which runs properly on a Mac. Then if you go to iBookAuthor and put a custom widget in the Text, then drag it in. It is accepted by the text and shown as being there. However, if you use Preview to look at it on an iPad, it is gone (or was never there in the first place). Anyone any ideas on this? [And iBook Author seems to give no warnings.] The widget is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46713473/Test6.wdgt.zip I have bells and whistles that I’d like to get into an iBook!
    Thanks for any insights.
    Martin

    I do have a little to add, which might help someone. Indeed, opening a blank page and dragging the widget straight in seems good in difficult cases. But, actually, I was also able to insert successfully from the Toolbar especially to blank pages. So, it may have been something to do with the columns and stuff like that. Anyway back then the insertion would show in iBooks Author but not in the Preview on the iPad. I moved on to actual Google Web Toolkit output javascript. Basically I had three at hand to try: a Hello World with a button which went straight it, one of moderate complexity, (for example with a built in Lisp interpreter), which also went straight in, and finally a more complex one that initially was rejected by iBook Author. Author complained that there was an unsupported media file (of course, Author does not tell you which one it is, that would be too easy). [Remember, this was a proper working Dashboard widget which could be installed on a Mac]. Among other things I had read remarks about .gif files. When looking through the GWT war directory at the actual javascript etc files, I noticed there were two gifs there one called ‘clear.cache.gif ‘  and a second one called  ‘0F89659FF3F324AE4116F700257E32BD.cache.gif’. (Now, there is obfuscation so the numbers here may be different from case to case.) The clear.cache.gif did not seem to be anything special. But the other one is an animation. It is three little boxes that twinkle (rather like a waiting spinning cursor).  So, I opened that file and saved it to itself (that picks the top frame of the animation and saves only that, leaving you with an unanimated gif). The resulting widget drags and drops into iBooks Author (and seems to work properly at a quick glance). So, if you are having trouble with ‘unsupported media files’ converting animated gifs into unanimated gifs might help in some cases.

  • Thoroughly frustrating problem with Preview

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forum and tried to hold out as long as possible, but the problem I'm having has so thoroughly frustrated me I had to post this. Let me try to be as clear as possible.
    I have a Mac (OS 10.8.2, upgraded from a late-2009 Macbook running Snow Leopard - 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gb RAM, 1067 MHz DDR3). I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed. I also have Microsoft Office 2011. Both Acrobat, M. Office, and all my software is fully updated and current. I have no font conflicts, as I have just clean re-installed my OS because this problem is so frustrating.
    The issue is with pdfs I make of books I own. Sometimes I will use my iphone 4 (latest iOS 6.1.2) with apps like "CamScanner+" or "GeniusScan+" to copy chapters and make pdfs. (CamScanner+ has built in OCR capability.) I then upload them to my WebDAV bibliography storage cloud on Box.net to access from my Mac laptop. Sometimes I use the University's big overhead scanner to make monochrome pdfs, and run OCR thru Acrobat Pro XI. Sometimes I will use the Canon scanners in the computer labs, and do OCR in Acrobat Pro XI then. In each case, I use Zotero to handle attaching pdfs to bib entries and sync it all up to my WebDAV account. (Zotero has a plugin I use called "Zotfile," which also allows one to extract notes, highlighting, annotations, etc., and store them on Zotero while also keeping them on the pdf.) In either case, though, I always run the pdf thru Acrobat Pro XI to optimize, at the least.
    When I access the pdfs for notetaking, research, etc., I tend to use Mac's Preview built-in app. I find it easier to streamline, scroll, view and add notes, less clutery, etc. I see that this new Mountain Lion Preview is much different than Snow Leopard's, which is very regrettable. In this version, Preview saves as you go, it seems.
    The problem is that everytime I save the pdf I've been working on from File>Save (and even when Preview saves as I go), it does a number of nasty, unwanted things. First, it somehow doubles the filesize (e.g., from 30mb to 67mb). Second, and MOST HATED, it takes the OCR'ed texts/fonts and converts them all to alien faces, square boxes, or just blanks. (God it's making me angry just thinking about it now - I've spent two full weeks now trying to fix this!!!!) This happens regardless of whether I ClearScan the OCR, Searchable text the OCR, or Searchable text (exact) the OCR. It happens regardless of whether the OCR'ed fonts are embedded, embedded subsets, etc. Every option on Acrobat Pro XI, I feel I have tried and exhausted and Preview still f$&#s it up. As far as I can tell, this happens regardless of what kind of font is used in the OCR'ed pdf (e.g., TrueType, CID, etc.). In every single instance, Preview will 1) double the file size and 2) screw up the fonts upon saving. If I take this newly ruined pdf back into Acrobat Pro, highlight text, copy and try to paste into Word, Chrome, or any other app it produces the same result. However, if I right click and "copy with formatting" from Acrobat Pro, it copies the actual words/font. The newly ruined Preview pdf doesn't return any word searches either. And annotations like highlighting, once extracted or even viewed in the notes&highlighting box, show blanks. I have downloaded and tried a Mac app called Skim, and it is the exact same effect, unless I File>Export...
    I know this is not a problem with my Mac's fonts since I just did a clean re-install. Font Book tells me everything is alright too. This occurs regardless of what save settings I choose in Preview (e.g., the default settings, the quartz settings, reduce file size, etc.).
    The strange part, though, is that when I take this newly ruined Preview'ed pdf, highlight text, go to font inspector, it says the highlighted font is exactly what it was when Acrobat saved it (e.g., Arial). And if I take this same document back to Acrobat and view properties, it says the fonts are the same as they were when Acrobat Pro originally processed it.
    SO... I hope someone can help me with a fix for this. I truly do not want to use Acrobat Pro XI as my research pdf tool. It doesn't scroll smoothly, the layout is clunky, etc. It just isn't conducive to research/reading/notetaking. Preview, I think, is, and so I want to be able to have a fix for this so that Preview will quit ruining my life.
    I can provide sample pdfs if that might help. I can provide the original Acrobat Pro XI processed pdfs, as well as the newly ruined Preview pdfs. BTW, I posted this in Adobe's forums as well.

    I assume the answer by macjack would not apply in the case of Snow Leopard - Preview version 5.0.3 - but I have the same issue with OCR (not the constant autosave issue though) on my '10 MBP running osx 10.6.8 where suddenly maybe about a year ago 2 hugely annoying things changed in Preview.
    As first poster stated (and he/she obviously knows a LOT more about this stuff than me) Preview stopped providing accurate search results with most pdf documents (some downloaded, some created from web, etc., no idea of common thread there).
    I can NO LONGER COPY AND PASTE any text in any pdf opened in Preview to another application!! I used to have no problem copying pdf text from Preview to, say, text edit. Now it comes up weird boxes and dashes and no, font choice and/or conflict is not the issue.
    I realize this thread is within the Mountain Lion community, and forgive me if I should start a new thread in some other area of this forum saying exactly what I have here, but I have searched and searched on this topic for months and this is the first thread I found which refers to these exact issues I'm enduring.
    Any further advice or comments on the subject - or even constructive instructions if I should post elsewhere - would be greatly appreciated!

  • Centre not working in Dreamweaver Design View (CSS+HTML)- Preview OK- help!

    Hi there
    I am having a slight problem with DW which I have had before, and fixed, but I cant for the life of me remember how I fixed it.  So any help is much appreciated.
    I am producing a proof site for a client and cannot load it to be live just yet so sorry for any inconvience but I have taken some screen shots and will paste code/html.
    The site is currently sitting like this  in the design view of DW
    [IMG]http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb323/SKH_Design/Picture1-1.jpg[/IMG]
    Which it usually doesnt.... its usually centred within the design view!!
    this is how it sits in the preview
    [IMG]http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb323/SKH_Design/Picture2.png[/IMG]
    My main page container is margin left auto and so is the margin right.
    (please excuse my experiment with the drop shadow behind the main container)
    please excuse me if anything is messy, im pretty new to this!!

    "<body leftmargin="float">"
    Can you say what that's doing? "float" is not a legal value for the leftmargin style, which requires an integer value.  But its use is deprecated in favor of CSS anyhow.
    Your pasted code is lacking a doctype or anything that would normally be above that stylesheet link.  Is that just an oversight or is it really not there?

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.
