Unable to scroll through Collaboration questions in the Presentation

I have started using the Collaboration feature in Adobe Presenter. The Collaboration question window in the Presentation does not create a scroll bar when the space taken up by the questions exceeds the window space. As a result, questions linked to the later slides in my Presentation (there are 49 slides in all) cannot be viewed. Please see the picture:
Is there a fix for this problem?
Thanks.

Hi ,
There is a scoll bar.
When you hover the mouse on the left side of the questions window, the scroll bar is visible. It is not visible otherwise.
See the snapshot below:
You can also scoll using the mouse wheel.

File Sharing/Collaborating Question

I need to understand better how to collaborate as a team on documents. Situation #1: I shared a document with a colleague--marked the document "limited access." The recipient said a password was requred to opent it. I don't recall an option to provide a password. Is the password my universal acrobat password, where all documents in my file can be viewed?
Situation #2: I shared a different document, different colleague. When she made edits and went to re-load, she said a password was required. Same question, do I need to be providing my acrobat password to people I am sharing/collaborating with on documents?
Situation #3: During a conference call where participants were screen sharing, a colleague successfully uploaded a revised document to the one we started with. His document does not appear in my files, in my account. We definitely viewed it, shared it, online.
Any coaching and help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks for writing. We’re happy to hear that you’re trying out Buzzword.
Here’s a little information that may help. There are 3 roles in Buzzword: author/co-author, reviewer and reader. Authors and co-authors can write, edit and share the document with others. Reviewers can add comments to the document, but cannot share the document further. And readers can view the document, but cannot leave comments or share the document further. (Please see the online Help for more details about each role.)
The roles are intended to help you manage how different people interact with the document. And, you can change the roles of each person over the lifetime of the document. For example, you may want to give a small group co-author rights to get the document started, and allow writing and editing. As you move through the cycle of the document, you may want to add people as reviewers, and perhaps even change a few co-authors to reviewers as you begin to lock down the content. And finally, when the document is complete, you can then change everyone to a reader. This gives them access to the final document but does not allow them to change the document. This is one way of working that’s been successful with a number of our users.
In regards to situations #1 and #2 - we do require that individuals have an Acrobat.com account in order to work on a document – even adding comments. There is an option for reading only. You can “Share with a wider audience” - which allows people to read the document without signing in to Buzzword. However, if they want to comment, they will need an account and sign in. In this situation, you would set sharing to the “wider audience” and then copy the URL and send it to those you want to read the document.
My best guess as to what happened with question #3 is that the individual downloaded the file and made the changes offline, not in Buzzword. This would cause you not to be able to view the changes that had been made in your file.
Hope this helps! Again, thank you for giving Buzzword a try.

Mac Mail collaboration question

Hi, myself and a colleague have both step Mac Mail to receive emails from a business email address (IMAP). Everything's working fine and emails appear in both our inboxes as expected. I'm very organised and like to keep my inbox as clean as possible so tend to frequently drag mail from my inbox to folders on my iCloud account to keep things tidy. The problem is that that email then disappears from my colleague's inbox on their machine.
I've been trying to find a solution to this problem hoping that there might be some kind of archival process whereby all emails could be put in a folder that we both had access to so that it didn't matter that emails disappeared from my colleague's inbox as the folder would contain a complete history of all mail sent and received from that account (I hope that makes sense).
Any bright ideas out there???

Thanks Eric that might work but I was hoping for something a little more 'elegant' rather than having to manually export mail every time a message arrives in the inbox.
I setup a new iCloud account thinking that i could share the password and then I could just drag messages into iCloud folders as I do at the moment with my personal iCloud account but that doesn't seem to work as it just gives me a new entry in the Mailboxes section of Mail. Is it possible to have multiple iCloud accounts displayed underneath my mailboxes???
Thanks

Autochown: inotify-based file attribute manager

Info page: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/autochown/
This is a direct successor to maown.
Autochown manages file ownership and permissions using inotify events. It is configured via a simple yet versatile input file. Examples of what you can do with it:
* ensure that all files in a given directory are owned by a certain group
* remove permissions for anyone not in the group
* change file owners automatically
* add exceptions for files, subdirectories, etc with globbing patterns
Eample scenarios in which it should be useful:
* keeping common files on a default user account that you want to access and modify from other user accounts
* ensuring that certain directories always retain strict file permissions
* managing a shared directory for group collaboration
Questions, comments, etc. are welcome as always.

Some questions on Collaboration rooms

HI,
In some of the room templates I found an extension BANNER. But how do I configure a Banner for my room I couldnt find.
I want to add a quick poll to my room template which I developed. How do I go about this.
The Search Room functionality: DOes this require TREX set up and if so what do I need to index for it to work.
Now in a collaboration room if i have a documents page which is a navigation page, the end user gets access to Move, Copy, Delete etc etc on the resources. How do I remove such links?
If I need to create any other such iView like a BI iView in my room template, how do I go about this?
Points assured for a Detailed Answer.

thanks vijayakumar kanniah mohan
The room part works once I already have 2-3 created rooms.
Suppose I wish to add a quickpoll to the tenmplate will it reflect fo all the rooms which have been priorly created using this template.
In such a scenario, what can I do?
e.g. My template is MYTEMPLATE out of which I create ROOM 1 and ROOM 2. I can go and add room parts to those 2 rooms. But what if I want to just edit the room template and say add the quick poll to an existing page there. How do I get it reflected in ROOM 1,2.
Also I didnt quite get the answer to the Banner question.
I have the folowing Extensions in the room tempalte:
Banner
cmRoomExtensionSP2FP
ON_CREATE_ROOM
ON_DELETE_ROOM
Contacts
cmRoomExtensionSP2FP
ON_CREATE_ROOM
ON_DELETE_ROOM
Documents of a Department
cmRoomExtensionSP2FP

ON_DELETE_ROOM
Links

But how do I put an image as the banner and where.
Thanks agian and waiting in anticipation for your reply.

Collaboration, JavaMail, and Questions

EP6 SP2 Patch 5...
In Collaboration, the portal can send emails.
For example, from the Room News iView, a "news item" (my term) can be emailed to any portal user or even all users in a role and/or group.
That sounds pretty cool!
Does it work?
When I try to send an email, I get a "warning" message at the top that says "Email could not be sent."
The portal DOES send emails when user accounts are created/locked/modified.
I looked at the help documents (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2patch5/helpdata/en/62/bb12c2f574364e96dcdbd7301b7aab/content.htm),
but I do not see that error. I imagine I have to look at some kind of log or trace.
Question:
I have completed the following config steps:
1. Created a Lotus/Javamail/Non-Exchange System using the com.sap.netweaver.col.appl.gw par. Created an alias for this system.
2. Created the Email Transport.
3. The Emailing Service is Active.
What else do I need to determine?
What should be the values for the javamail service in the J2EE engine (using the J2EE Admin tool)?

Hello Eric,
i have the same problem...
Have you restarted the sap j2ee engine?

Part2: basic questions on collaboration and KM

Hi,
could someone please help by answering my questions...
what is difference between "action item" and "approval" in the listbox while creating a task in "my tasks" workset of Collaboration role?
what is difference between UWL and adhoc workflow.
what are extensions and extension points?
Regards

Hi,
1)
Action item is for any task to be carried out.you mention the work to be done by the user in each step.
Approval : you attach a document and set the approval process, if the document is rejected by a approver it goes back to the author.
2)
An extension for room or room part templates is a program that controls the storing and obtaining of data for rooms or room parts. For example, you can use extensions to define the following items:
-Definition of folders for data storage in your CM backend system
-Connection of further backend systems (for data storage)
-Obtaining or linking information
For each extension in a template, certain extension points are defined. In the life-cycle of a room or room part, the system executes the extension at the extension points that are defined in the respective template. For example, when the system creates a room, it can create a folder in accordance with the extension configuration.
Configuring the extension for a template involves creating it for each of the planned extension points and defining the input and output parameters required.
The sequence of the extension points is not fixed, however, there can be logical dependencies. For example, an extension that generates an input parameter must be executed before an extension that uses the input parameter. This dependency can be controlled using an input parameter.
3)
Ad Hoc Workflow (AWF) is a component accessible through the Universal Worklist (UWL). AWF is integrated with the UWL so that users can create ad-hoc workflows with multiple steps. Users can assign work items to other portal users, and define the work item types, details and due dates. Users define ad hoc workflows using the provided Ad Hoc Workflow Wizard.
Ad hoc agent assignment
A workflow of this type enables agents to be assigned to workflow steps when the workflow is started. During workflow execution the agent assignment can be changed by authorized users at any time for steps not yet completed.

Few basic questions on collaboration

Hi,
I am new to Collaboration, so thought someone could help me with this. I have already gone through documentation and I got some basic questions regarding COllaboration.
a) I want to create a collaboration room. what are the portal roles that will be helpful for me. i.e is it ok if i assign CollaborationRoomCreation Role to the guy who creates a room (he will be admin and room owner, let us say "roomadmin") and a Collaboration Role to members. is it required to assign the content admin and system admin for the collaboration room administrator. Isnt it cumbersome that each time a room owner invites a member, he should also notify user amdinistrator to assign "collaboration" role to the member in question.
Note: We are just using standard templates provided by SAP.
b) and once roomadmin creates the room and includes a memnber for this room, will that particular user be automatically assigned the workset "Collaboration" which is in the Role "Collaboration" or should he contact user admin to assign the Collaboration role to the member that roomadmin has added.
c) afaik, we can create documents, links, discussions, ratings, comments, feedback, reviews on documents in collaboration rooms. arent these KM functions that are being used in Collaboration
e) arent the docs and folders created in collaboration rooms be available in KM content workset, if so where can i find them?
I have anotehr set of questions, but thought that i could seperate into two threads..becuase these questions itself carries 10 points.
Please help me in this regard.
thanks
P.S: would be great if you could just give me atleast oneline answer instead of giving links to help/sdn..as i already gone through documentation and didnt understand the above concepts.

hi,
its not necessary to assign content admin and System admin role. collaboration room creation role contains room directory iveiw thats more than enough for room creation. assign room creation role to ur administrator and for all other user you can assign a role called EU_role.
By assinging that role, u wil get to see a workset called "home" in ur TLN.inside this workset u have a tab called rooms. the end user can see all types of room here.
so its not needed to assign collaboration role to all end users.

Collaborating with Editors question

Hi,
I did a complete book layout in InDesign.
The publisher now says he is not happy with the editing (my side of
things -- the design work -- is fine) and he wants the entire book to go
through another round of editing.
The book has already been through several rounds of proofreading (ie
checking the PDF for mistakes and keying these changes into InDesign),
and they don't want to lose that work. What this means is that I, as
typesetter, am the only one who has the very latest version of the text.
As there are going to be extensive changes (I'm not sure what) and the
publisher wants to work off the latest version, he wants me to export
all the text as a Word file and then the editors will work on that.
However, the publisher is aware that in such a case I'll have to redo
the layout, and he wants to avoid that extra expense, so he asked me if
there is any way that the editors can work on the text without my having
to redo the layout.
My immediate thought was InCopy (which I've never used, only heard
about) -- the publisher could use the 30-day trial (at this stage,
obviously if they like it they may purchase the thing). But
(1) I'm on CS4 and the downloads of InCopy are all CS5.5. That won't
work together, right?
(2) Can I get hold of InCopy CS4 anywhere?
(3) Is the learning curve (both for me and the editor) going to be too
steep to do this in 30 days?
(4) Are the editors going to mess up my styles? I mean, if they need
some italics, how will they know to use my italics char style? And if
they need a subtitle paragraph style, how will they know to use that? If
I'm going to have to go through the entire book figuring out what
they've meddled with, I think it will be more trouble than it's worth
and I'd rather use the Word workflow.
Thanks for any advice,
Ariel

I think a lot would depend on how complicated the design of this book is. If there's a lot of formatting, dozens or hundreds of character and paragraph styles, etc., that's probably not something you're keen to re-do.
However, InCopy does have a bit of a learning curve for editors who are used to using Word. The learning curve for you shouldn't be too steep -- you'll need to learn how to create InCopy stories and export them so they'd editable by the editors, but otherwise InCopy is basically just the text editing features of InDesign, with a few extra writing tools (such as the thesaurus) thrown in. As the designer, you'll hardly ever use InCopy, if at all, but you can probably answer most questions for a new InCopy user as most editing elements are the same in both programs.
There are other things to consider too - if the editors don't have the fonts installed, they aren't going to see accurate line breaks or copyfit, and may do damage attempting to "fix" something that isn't really wrong. And as you noted, it would probably be best to provide a spec sheet showing what styles to apply where.
InCopy is a great tool, and in the hands of editors who have been trained and who have adequate support, it can save a lot of time on a project, particularly if it's planned for upfront. But I think that training needs to happen as the project is starting up, not at the stage you're currently in. Perhaps they could stick with the PDF mark-ups and send you patch files in Word for any sections that need signficiant changes.
BTW, you might want to post your question over in the main InDesign forum if you haven't already. I'm sure you'll find other InCopy users there, or others who have faced the same kind of dilemma. The main forum tends to get more traffic than the scripting one does, and you'll reach a broader range of users there.
Good luck!

Collaboration Portal Transport Question

I created a test collaboration room on an Netweaver 7.0 SPS 9 portal and created a tranport package with that content.
Now that the proof of concept is done, we decided that we will go live with the collobartion rooms on the Netweaver 7.0 SPS 19 landscape. I want to IMPORT by transport package from SPS 9 to the SPS 19 version, however, I noticed that the SPS 19 version is missing the BANNER iview.
Should I do the tranport from SP 9 to SP 19 or start from scratch on SP19?
Thanks
Angie

I probably didn't make myself clear. I want to tranport the ROOM TEMPLATE from SP9 to SP19, but the BANNER iview that I used in SP9 is NOT available in SP19. So is it o.k. to transport the content of the template since the IVIEW is missing in SP19.
Thanks
Angie.

Collaboration Rooms Questions

When I create a room out of a template and there exists in that room a Document Page, I can add documents there.
Now I know these documents are stored in /rooms/(room name)/Documents e.g. of 1 particular room template.
How does the Portal engine realize that and documents created by room member in the documents page should be stored in this folder. Is the mapping created somehwere?
My second query:
The RoomInformation Extended iView shows the name of the Room. How can I configure this to show a banner/image.
My Third Query:
Whenever I add a room part from the existing set, it always gets added as a workset. How do I pick up pages alone like the default parts of the template?
Please note, I have already the document on Creation of Room Templates

Hi,
For your first question, I think that the mapping is realize with parameter room template.
on 'mapping' folder.
For your second question , take a look in sap documentation :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/be/6ca0404dd52b54e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
It can help you to configure banner text.
Hope it's help..

3 Questions - Open Syntac, Notifty Open, Work Collaboratively

Hello,
I have different questions related to Acrobat and was wondering if any of these can be solved:
1. We have an internal file server where someone created a handy web page we navigate through to access different .pdf's. It is internal only, doesn't access the web. Is it possible to setup the ability if they need to combine adobe .pdf files to have Acrobat launch, open the combine files dialog box, and already be in the directory where the .pdf's are located?
2. When one user has a .pdf open, is it possible to have Acrobat notify a user that a file is already opened when they open it themselves? Currently it allows multiple users to open the same file but will only state someone else has it open when you try to save the file. Unfortunately this poses the problem of users spending time making markups and then finding out they can't save their work. (See #3 for solution - if possible)
3. To alleviate #2, can multiple people work in the same .pdf at the same time? It would record their markup's/changes and would save their layers individually on the .pdf or something like that.
Thank you for any assistance. We are using 9.5.2

1 and 2 - no.
3 - you can use a Shared Review to allow multiple users to mark up the same file and see each others' comments.

Question on collaboration rooms

Hello all,
I'm trying to activate a collaboration room in Netweaver 2004s. I'm using the SAP Standard templates. When I set up a collab room, no matter what template I base it on, it comes up with the same room parts. For example, I want to see discussion functionality. I choose a template that has discussion capability; as room admin I confirm that the discussion part exists, but no discussion iView comes up in the final room. Could this be some security or configuration issue? Please advise.
PV

make sure that the room role you have, has the right page permissions. e.g. it might be that you have the admin role, but the page access is only permitted for members. maybe this hint helps.

Question on Collaboration

I have a few DJ friends with which I would like to begin collaborating on some tracks... some of them are far away, and my initial idea was to work on tracks and save them, post them on my public folder on ,mac, and then have them work on them, post back, etc.
Compatibility wise, what is the best way to do this? I did a test with a friend the other day, hes also running logic on a mac, and he couldnt open the .iso file. Is this concept not possible? What about between other platforms running other programs?, Say, a PC friend running ableton?
thanks
J

I do it all the time. I download recorded files from my bro in Michigan to my MacBook in Japan.
There are numerous ways to transfer files over the internet. I use ftp and server space I bought as the bridge, although I've recieved some tracks direct from him via iChat.
I'm not up for giving a dissertation on what kind of media management skills you need in order to make this work right, but perhaps somebody else...? Suffice to say, you will need to/should understand how and why Logic handles it's media if'n you want to be productive doing this kind of thing.
Heck, just in general, learn how your computer and your fav app works.
