CC Cylinder aligns differently in CS3

Just opened a project that I originally created in AE7 that is using CC cylinder to create a simple odometer-like effect. In CS3 the discs are being created at a different aspect (almost as though its interpreting as sq pixel). Is there something that changed in CC's implementation in CS3?
As a side note along the same lines, I have always used 2D nulls to break the intersection between 3D layers when necessary. As of CS3 that no longer works. What has changed with this? Adjustment layers still work for the same purpose (I just have hundreds of nulls scattered about lots of projects that will have to be swapped if this is something that is not considered a 'bug')

>For a list of the layer types that break 3D intersections and shadow casting, see the "How render order and collapsed transformations affect 3D layers" section of After Effects CS3 Help on the Web.
Does that page even say anything about this change to the 2D/3D layer interaction rules? I can't see any mention of nulls, only 2D and 3D layers (both of which categories encompass nulls). Am I missing something?
>It was a bug. People were clamoring.
I stand corrected. It certainly was a useful bug, and it being fixed breaks old projects that depended on this predictable behavior.
>If you're linking other layers' properties to those of a null layer that you're using as a control layer, it's a lot easier if the null has the same layer properties as the other layers.
I can see that for, say, opacity, but are people really linking to the colors of null layers? That's not a simple pick-whip operation, and anyone conversant enough in expressions to know how to do this is going to also know about Expression Controls, which are much more convenient. Are you saying these things aren't just an artifact of nulls' heritage as solids? You are obviously in a much better position to know these things, but I find this a bit surprising.

Do paragraph style overrides work differently in CS3 vs CS4?

Hi All-
I’m in the process of moving a workflow from CS3 to CS4, and have run into an unexpected problem. In the existing CS3 workflow, we receive copyedited text with Word paragraph styles applied, then import this text into our InDesign template. This template has all the same paragraph style names as the Word file, so we tell InDesign to use the InDesign style definitions in the Import options. So, for instance, the Word style for Para_Text is Times New Roman 12pt, and the InDesign style for Para_Text is Helvetica Neue 8pt, and on Import InDesign automatically changes it to Helvetica Neue 8pt. This is as we want it.
Things fall apart, however, when we import the same text into the same template in InDesign CS4. It still applies the InDesign style definition, but has additional overrides to make it look like the Word style definition. So, it recognizes that the underlying paragraph style should be Helvetica Neue 8pt, but it then preserves Times New Roman 12pt as an override. If I select the text and do Clear Overrides, it’ll revert to the Helvetica Neue 8pt we want it in, but for other reasons that solution is less than ideal.
I think I can come up with a rather kludgy way around this, but I’m trying to understand exactly why we’re getting the different behavior in CS4. It seems like paragraph style conflicts are being handled in a different way in CS3 than CS4 – in CS3, if the InDesign paragraph style specifically spelled out a font, that would dominate on import; now, in CS4, it’s allowing the Word paragraph style to seep through as an override. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?
Thanks,
-Nate

Hi Chris.
Good news. I cant tell you how happy i am for all your help ;-) and you other guys.
The latest Eizo 5.2.1 software fixed the problem on all 3 Eizo monitors.. Weeee
I'm back to normal.
Now i just have another damn problem started not long ago ;(
My Photoshop CS3 and CS4 keeps crashing on me after a wile of work ???
I tried everything. Deleted preffs etc. etc.
It have been working for long long time but suddenly it keeps crashing all the time.
I tried to remove some new plug-ins, but it was not that.
Only thing i did also was to install new ram.
Upgraded from 10GB to 14GB in all our Mac Pro.
So after i tried to switch the ram around to check if some was bad.
Also run some memory software but everything came out right.
So now the only thing left is that Photoshop dosent like ram between 14GB & 16GB.
Under was fine and i never tried over 16 gigs.. weird
Any ide what could corse this ?

Why are my PMS colors different in CS3 & CS6?

I originally created a label in CS3, and just had to make a new one a different size. When I did the new art in CS6, the PMS colors are way different! I basically copied and pasted the old art into the new file. I have replaced all PMS colors, but they still do not match the old version. What's up?? Can anyone shed some light on this? The original version (in CS3) is on the left and the new art in CS6 is on the right. Thanks!

Thanks Monika, but, OMG, I feel a headache coming on! =( So, is it better to stay with the new Pantone Plus colors, or convert to the older version? How will this effect reprinting of jobs, if the client makes changes and I resave the file in CS6? Will the color be different now, if saved in the Pantone Plus? Maybe I need to do more reading up on this!

Javascript Different in CS3 vs. CSX?

Hi, is JavaScript different for acrobat verison CS3 Version 8 vs. X PRO - version 10? I use online forms that users submit for clearance access. I have been using Acrobat verison CS3, version 8, however, I recently updated to Acrobat X Pro and the script that I have doesn't work now. The form itself still is fine, just the script for the textbox doesn't work. The textbox indicates authorized signer status. The form is locked after signing, except for this textbox which should be able to change...
I'm stumped..
Here is the script:
var digSig = event.target.getField("topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].AUTHORIZED_APPROVERS_SIGNATURE[0]");
var sigInfo = digSig.signatureInfo();
if (digSig) {
var status = digSig.signatureValidate();
var message = "";
switch (status) {
case 0:
case 1:
message = "NOT SIGNED";
break;
case 2:
message = "INVALID SIGNATURE";
break;
case 3:
message = "VALID BUT IDENTITY OF SIGNER CANNOT BE VERIFIED";
break;
case 4:
message = "VALID SIGNATURE";
break;
default:
message = "ERROR";
break;
this.rawValue = "SIGNATURE STATUS: " + message;
And here is the error message I receive when loading the form within acrobat.
Thank you kindly.

Hi,
to fix this problem you can do the following:
Delete the script in the exit event of the field "SPECIAL_NOTES" and add this script to it's change event.
$event.change = Upper($event.change)
Hope this helps.

Preview and published to the internet align differently

Things aren't lining up the same in preview as when published.
http://rhinoshieldmarketing.com/print.html
When I preview this page in browser, it looks fine.
When I publish the page and it shows the page from my harddrive file, it looks fine.
When I think go and look at it on the internet, it looks different.....why? How to fix?
in particular, undernearth the image box, the title and the directional buttons... they aren't aligned correctly on the internet version....the directional areas are jumbled under the image title.... and the thumbnails aren't lined up the same way as in Muse...... the right column is underneath the left

Another example, different site:
This is how it looks on the web:

Clone Stamp and Alignment Box Question - Cs3

I am learning Photoshop now. According to my tutorial (TT Basic), When I realease the Mouse and Alt key after selecting the clone tool, there should be a circle showing my selected area. I do not have a circle showing, so the alignment box cannot lock onto the area, I'm guessing. My Alt Crosshairs show up in Red, if that is important. Does the layer matter in the cloning, and the lock on or off? The tutorial isn't showing the layer boxes so I can't tell.
Thanks.

Photofriend wrote:
Back to he drawing board. No Circle with cloning tool, and the image that I'm trying to do away with is moved to the side, not copied over. But it doesn't show until I move the brush that I can't see over the area. I am using New Layer and current layer. Should I be doing differently?
Not clear on what you are doing. When you set the clone source location with alt + left mouse click you will get a small circle with crosshair inside. You should have a circle representing the brush size where the clone is to take place, and when you clone there will be a crosshair at the clone source.
You say you do not have circle with cloning tool. Do you get a circle with other tools like brush and eraser?
In simple terms open a image, click create new layer in layers panel and with layer active (blue) use cloning tool. What do you get?

How do i put three items into the footer of each page aligned differently

Hi,
I am trying to have the footer of each page in my document with 3 items : -
1 logo aligned left
1 text (date and page number) aligned centre
1 logo aligned right.
If I add the logos as background they only seem to appear on the first page.
Thanks,
James

James,
It may not be clear in the small screen shot, but I used Tabs for alignment. Here is a close-up of the Ruler:
You can get even more control if you place the text in a Text Box and place the text box into the Footer, between the graphics.

[JS] Items on page vs pasteboard move differently in CS3 vs CS4/CS5

I'm trying to move all the items on all the pages in a document (including the master pages), regardless of what layer they are on and I want to retain their locked/unlocked states. In trying to figure this out I came across Adobe's AdjustLayout Sample script. This was quite helpful and I adapted it to move all the items a specified amount (the modified script is shown below). There may be a better way, but this was pretty much working.
Except one problem:
- In CS4 and later all items move, those on or off the page (in the pasteboard).
- In CS3 though, only the items on a page move, and NOT the ones on the pasteboard (which I do also want to move).
I have searched this forum and read a lot, but still haven't figured out how to get CS3 to also move the pasteboard items. Can anyone help? Below is the script I adapted, but I am open to other ways if there's something better. I used this because it seemed close to what I was looking for.
Thanks, in advance.

No.
You'll need to loop through all pageItems and move them individually (checking if they're locked as you go...)

Reports builder alignment different that pdf aligned

I'm using Oracle Reports 10g
I have a report that output to a pdf, I have to make the report misaligned from report builder runtime (screen) so it aligned when it runs from the applications server development to pdf; that works in our development server & pdf is aligned
In out testing application server which has the same exact setup, the pdf is misaligned (all the time, althought it is aligned in development all the time)

Good Morning Samin,
This is interesting question.

Resizing objects and groups in CS4 - different from CS3

Hi all,
In CS3 I used to be able to resize objects or groups of objects by just using the solid select tool and just grabbing a corner or side of the object and resizing it. That doesn't work in CS4. Doing the same thing only moves the image around. I have to actually use the scale pop-up.
I can still do the same thing an anchor or path at a time with the outline select tool.
I'm sure there's a way to do this in CS4 and there's probably a switch buried deep in some menu to allow this, but darned if I can figure it out.

I'm still on CS3 so I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. It's always been a pretty easy key shortcut to hit by accident though.

Fonts different between CS3 and CS5 on Win7 system using the same fonts directory

I have several files created in Fireworks CS3 that work fine. Fonts are all installed in the system directory on my Win7 box. This used to be a WinXP Pro box.
I can load a file into Fireworks CS3 without a single issue and the text all looks perfect. The way it should. Close CS3, open CS5 and load the same file and CS5 tells me I have to update my fonts. Why? Same system, same fonts in the same fonts directory. Only thing that's changed is that I'm opening the file(s) in CS5.
The fonts do not look the same in CS5. Am I going to have to redo every Fireworks CS3 file so that it looks correct in CS5? If so, why?
-- Bob
Here's a sample image the way it's supposed to look. The Swift gets hosed. PlazaDUtil is the font. I'd hate to have to redo all my logo files.

Prior to CS4 Fireworks used the Macromedia type engine. From CS4 forward, adobe introduced the adobe type engine to improve text handling/integration between FW AI and PS. As a result moving CS3 files over to cs4 forces FW to update the fonts.

Why are previews different in CS3 and CS6

I can't see a separation between process colors and the black on pdfs in CS6. The black plate appears to be printing on all 4 plates. In CS3, the black doesn't appear on all plates. We're using OS 10.8.
CS3 is the first image; CS6 is the second image

The 2 samples I originally attached show the difference between Output Preview in Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 11. Acrobat 8 shows how the image prints - nothing but black on the horse image. Acrobat 11 is not how our image prints. Here is the sample in a smaller size. Of course, we're working with pdfs, not jpgs.

Published site aligning differently on desktop and iPad

Hello,
Hoping someone can help, have spent the last 4 hours trying everything and cannot find the solution.
Have exported as HTML and uploaded to FTP. The design views perfectly and centrally in browser on my Desktop (top), but on my iPad and Android tablet the pinned header appears central but the rest of the site is aligned to the left. Site and individual page properties show padding to top and bottom but all are aligned as 'centre horizontally'.
I have tried unpinning the header, adding padding to the left, rebuilding the layers..
Any help would be amazing..

Hey again Zak...
So I'm pretty sure that there is nothing hidden and nothing unlocked off screen that would be causing this issue..
If you have the time or inclination to further help, I've uploaded part of the site http://czav.co.uk/BritishTapas/MuseExport/ - if possible you would be able to see the difference on a portable device and desktop/laptop..
I think it has something to do with the header at the top, being pinned perhaps as when I pin elements on the page the force central.. It doesn't make sense at all as it appears completely fine on my desktop and not on my iPad..
If you are able to help anymore, thank you, I appreciate if you are busy..
Have attached a screen of the master page showing all elements
Best regards
Christian

Command buttons align differently on different emulators

Hi,
I have created some commands at a screen like
BACK
HELP
EXIT
But the doubt is when the application run on different emulators, the commands will locate differently..
example:
nokia:
BACK at the left, HELP at the middle, EXIT at the right
sony ericsson:
BACK at the left, HELP + EXIT will be at the right (menu)
How can i configure the commands locate at the place that i wish to?

You can't. Different devices, have different locations for their command. And that will always be the case.

Seeking Table alignment advice, Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
Being extremely new to Dreamweaver, I am having trouble resolving an alignment dilemma and hope someone can help.
I am working on a page wherein I have placed a table with one row and two columns. In the lefthand column I have the title graphic for the page, and in the righthand column have added a "table within a table" where I plan to place a number of images to be viewed by scrolling down the page.
Would like the title graphic in left-hand column to stay aligned to the top of the page, but each time I add more images to the right-hand column, my title graphic in left-hand column automatically moves down. I would like to keep it static at the top of the page. (hopefully I am being clear enough explaining this).
Code is as follows:
<p> </p>
<table width="936" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="25" cellspacing="25">
<tr>
    <td width="209"><img src="Images/Portfolio Page/Brochures/brochures.jpg" alt="brochures" width="230" height="388" align="top" /></td>
    <td width="552" valign="top"><table width="450" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
      <tr>
        <td><img src="Images/Portfolio Page/Brochures/wawauditionapp.gif" alt="sf ethnic dance festival audition application" width="700" height="446" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><img src="Images/Portfolio Page/Brochures/restaurantinvite.gif" alt="restaurant invite" width="558" height="391" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td> </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
Any insight would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Tania

There are two ways to close (some types of) tags.
Meta tags in your head for example <meta name="description" content="whatever" /> is a self closing tag.
Images: <img src="picture.gif" alt="picture" width="360px" height="240px" /> is a self closing tag
<tr>
    <td>content goes here</td>
</tr>
is an example of a manually closed tag set <tr> </tr> and <td> </td>
If your tag has "/>" at the end of it it doesn't need "</tag>" afterward.
Headings, paragraphs, and table cells usually aren't self closing.
When you get your page online, run ti through XHTML validation at http://validator.w3.org/ and you'll see if it is valid.
Meantime, you can run Commands>Clean up XHTML from your toolbar and it will remove redundant tags, then give you a report of what if cleaned up.
