Creating an 11x17 booklet while maintaining file quality/size

I regularly use Pages for newsletter production - my newsletters must be in 11x17 format when submitted to a printer for production. I do not have InDesign or Quark - I'm trying to avoid the expense, quite honestly.
So: when I have completed a Pages document, I must convert to 11x17. I currently use Cocoa Booklet to do this. However, much to my dismay, I've found that the size/quality of my document takes a nose dive when I convert to 11x17 format with Cocoa Booklet!
I want to give my file to the printer in the highest possible resolution. One of the newsletters I do frequently contains artwork, and the creator deserves decent quality images in the final printed product.
So my question is: is there any way to create an 11x17 document from a Pages document while maintaining the original document quality?
Thank you!

See the other post for the problem of assembling an imposed set of pages. Usually though your commercial printer will handle this. If they can't I really wonder whether they should be handling the job.
The core problem of resolution and quality suitable for commercial printing is however a problem with the colorsync quartz filters used by OSX to produce PDF-X files. Apple has set these up wrong and made them well nigh impossible to correct.
If anyone out there can give detailed step by step instructions how to alter the filters in Colorsync Utility and make them appear correctly and consistently in the printer options, I and many others will be eternally grateful.
As it stands the output reduces many graphics, effects and even some text to an unacceptable 72dpi pixellation.
The inking is wildly over what commercial printing requires. Normally this should never total more than 320% to prevent smearing, pooling and overwetting and bubbling the paper.
The filters do not provide the crop marks, bleeds or printer's slugs needed for production.
The filters do not allow targeting of the individual printer's equipment and settings.
There is no transparency or documentation of the process nor its effects which makes it difficult to control or know if it is correct (as it stands it is not).
Danger, Danger Will Robinson! Do not use!
Not much else can be said until Apple corrects this and stops misleading its users into thinking they (Apple) are actually providing a solution. In reality they have created a massive problem.
I pray that someone has finally been listening and this gets fixed in Snow Leopard.

Export iPhoto pics to PC while maintaining file structure

Hi,
I am sure I am going to flame up the old Mac vs PC war, but I want to export all my iPhoto photos to a PC while maintaining some sort of file structure.
Is there an app that can do this? Can it be done from the Macintosh version of Picasa?
I did find this youtube tutorial on how to do it, but going into Terminal to get it done may be above my abilities.
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Phil

1 - there is no "old Mac vs PC" war - only old PC users who want to make a Mac just like their PC - it is not and will not be - we explain how thing DO work - not how they should or what is best
2 - does yoir question involve iPhoto for the Mac in any way? It appears to be a Picasa support question - this is the wrong place for that - you need a Picasa suppor forum fot that
3 - this makes no sense
but I want to export all my iPhoto photos to a PC while maintaining some sort of file structure.
since anything you export from iPhoto is in "some sort of file structure" - impossible not to be as that is the only way photos can be stored digitally
If you have iPhoto '11 you can export in a folder structure that matches your event structure - see this user tip for details on export options including this one
4 - I'm not going to watch the YouTube video but there should be no reason to use Terminal to export yoru photos

Place drawing made in Illustrator into word while maintaining press quality image

I write user manuals for a living and am currently working in a situation where I am provided the following software: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat X Pro and MS Word.
I usually take AutoCAD (dwg or dxf) files and open them in illustrator and then manipulate them for their desired purpose. Then I need to place them in the approprate MS Word document.The problem is that no matter what format I choose when exporting from Illustrator they always look like junk in the Word document, PDF and printed versions. What is the best way to get a high quality line drawing into MS Word?
We used to have MS Visio and that created drawings that were a million times sharper than what I am able to produce now.
What are my options folks??
Thanks
-Chris

Chris,
Attached are two screen shots. ats1_input_pnl.jpg is from inside Illy. Doc1.jpg is from inside a PDF that had the section of instrument panel imported to Word.
Export from Illy as TIF, RGB (regardless of your drawing color space) and at 300 dpi.
It's what I do and both inside Word and the PDF, tis pretty much the same as in Illy.
Take care, Mike

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago which I modified on 11/4/13 and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed. Any suggestions?

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

Outofmemory while creating a new object of file with size more than 100 MB

I have created an application which generates a report by getting the data from our archived files (.zip file).By the time, the application is reaching a file with size more than 100 mb, it is running out fo memory while creating the object of that particular file. Can some one help me by tellin if there id way to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance

If you're getting OutOfMemoryError, the simplest thing to try is to give the VM more memory at startup. For Sun's VM, I believe the default is 64 MB. You can increase this by using the -X args that control the heap size. For example: java -Xms128m -Xmx256m ... etc. ... This says start with 128 MB of heap, and allow it to grow up to 256 MB.
One thing to consider, though, is do you need that much stuff in memory at once? A more intelligent approach might be to unpack the archive to the file system, and then read a file at a time or a line at a time or a whatever at a time is appropriate for the processing you need to do.

Enlarging a .Mov file and maintaining the quality

a client wants me to use a .Mov file that is only 224 x 128.
Is there a way to increase the size and maintain the quality because when I do it it looks like an awful mush

No.
What you have is what you have.
There's no way to recover the information that was lost by reducing the image to that size.

How to export and reimport clips maintaining best quality?

I'd like to ask a few questions.
(1) I have several subclips in FCE that I would like to export, so I can import them back into FCE as individual clips, separate from the original capture. I would also like the option to use the exported clips in iMovie project. The most important thing is to save the clips at the highest possible quality. I ran into a problem when trying to import the clips back into FCE.
First, I tried exporting clips using File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion... with the following options:
Video Settings:
Compression Type H.264
Quality: Best (the slider in the Settings window I dragged all the way to the right for Best quality)
Key frame rate: 24
Frame Reordering: yes
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Audio Settings:
Format: Uncompressed
Sample rate: 48 kHz
Sample size: 16
Channels: 2
Prepare for Internet Streaming <unchecked>
The clip was saved to disk. I didn't open or modify the clip at all.
Then I tried using File>Import>Files... but when I tried to import it, I got this error:
"File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
So this is the problem I'm experiencing. Can't re-import the clip into FCE (it imports into iMovie fine, though)
Questions: Am I using "wrong" settings? Why is this happening? How can I export and reimport clips while maintaining best video and audio quality?
(2) A couple related questions: Some of my original source video was recorded at 12-bit quality (32 kHz). I know 16-bit is best (48 kHz) but the camera I used came with factory default 12-bit (and as a novice I didn't know to change it until several months later).
So here are my questions.
(a) If I export these clips using audio export settings at 48 kHz instead of 32 kHz, would that cause any problems?
(b) Would those clips then be recognized by FCE and iMovie as having 48 kHz audio even though it was originally recorded at 32 kHz? (I know the quality will be no better, but I've read somewhere that using 32 kHz audio can cause some problems with out-of-sync audio, particularly in iMovie. My hope is the new clip with the 48 kHz audio will circumvent such problems.)
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

TSchneider: Thanks again for your valuable reply. I have a few follow-up questions.
My first set of questions is about rendering audio to 48kHz in the timeline.
Almost immediately you'll notice that FCE has tagged the
entire audio track with a red bar meaning it will
need to be rendered (if you try to play the clip from
the Canvas controls you'll just get beeping or very
low quality sound). Go up to the Sequence menu and
select the Render All (or Mixdown) command and FCE
will transcode the 32kHz audio of your clip to the
48kHz audio of the sequence it's sitting in.
I followed your instructions and everything seemed to work until I got to the passage above. I dragged the subclips into the timeline. The clips appeared in the timeline but there was no red bar. If I chose Render All from the Sequence Menu, nothing happened. If I chose Export to Quicktime Movie, however, it takes several minutes, apparently rendering the audio and video. If I chose instead, Print to Video, the red bars do appear and the rendering process again gets going. There is a small progress bar for both operations in the center of the screen with a percent done and estimated time remaining.
Question: Why doesn't the red bar appear as soon as the clips are in the Timeline?
Question: Why doesn't Render All (or Render Audio) work? It would be much easier to walk away while all the audio rendered into 48kHz and then come back later to save the individual clips to disk.
My second set of questions pertains to the possibility of using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion as a substitute for Export>Quicktime Movie, mainly for academic instead of practical reasons.
If you export a clip directly from the bin "Using
Quicktime Conversion" there aren't any suitable
conversion video/audio formats that would give you
both video in the right format (for iMovie) and
transcode the audio to the sampling rate you want.
I understand your description of rendering the audio files in the timeline. If only academic, I was trying to see if I could duplicate the results using using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion. I chose Quicktime Movie as the format. The video setting was DV/DVCPRO-NTSC. The audio was uncompressed with 48kHz rate. This created a Quicktime movie file with these formats. If I opened the quicktime movie file in Quicktime and checked the info on the file, the audio was indeed 48kHz.
Question: Does this mean that the Quicktime Conversion process rendered the 32kHz audio to 48kHz audio prior to writing the file? If so, it would seem to bypass the need to render the clips in a sequence (although if I could render all the clips in the sequence at once, while I was away from the computer, it would be faster than rendering and saving each clip one at a time).
Question: When I exported a clip this way, then imported it into iMovie, the original capture date/time info was missing when I got info on the clip. However, when I save the clip using Export>Quicktime Movie, the date/time of capture was still present. Would there be any way to preserve this date/time of capture info when using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion?
Question: If I decided to Export>Using Quicktime Conversion with the above settings (DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, 48kHz audio) there are other options I'm given pertaining to the video settings. There are settings for Compressor Quality, with a sliding bar where you can choose Least, Low, Medium, High, and Best quality; and there is Scan Mode (interlaced or progressive). How does one choose among these? If you want the best quality exported clip, I suppose you would chose best quality, but what scan mode is "best" for my purposes -- interlaced or progressive?
Thanks a lot for your help. I'm learning a lot!

Maintaining image quality in FrameMaker and RoboHelp

Can someone tell me how I can maintain image quality in my Word documents in FrameMaker 11 while importing the documents into RoboHelp 10? Basically, I will be importing Word (help) documents into FrameMaker 11 (hoping to maintain the image quality) then importing those documents in FM to RoboHelp 10 to publish. Please help.

Well, we have tried multiple times to import our Word files directly into RH in which the images were not satisfactory. So after going round and round with this...FrameMaker was introduces as a way to solve our image concerns. However, I do agree with you...it is very cumbersome. I just want to keep the higher ups pleased.

Resize flash movie while maintaining aspect ratio?

Hey all,
We have created an extremely content heavy .swf file (1900 x
1400) for a presentation that runs full screen on a monitor at a
screen resolution of 1900 x 1400. I think that was the
resolution... I've been away from the project for a while and I
can't remember. anyways....
now we need to shrink the .swf down to a more reasonable size
so that we can make a cd rom out of it. Probably needs to be shrunk
to about 800 x 600. Is there an easy way to shrink the .swf in
flash from 1900 x 1400 to 800 x 600 while maintaining aspect ratio
and keeping all items on stage?
I sure hope so! I'd hate to have to recreate the entire
thing! It was a HUUUGE project with a ton of content.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!!!

Hey all.... I am just now working on this project.
I've created my .fla file and I'm trying to load a .swf into
an empty movie clip. It didn't scale down like I want it to and it
was still appearing as the normal size file. So I added the
container._height = 500; and container._width = 800; When I added
the width and height the .swf inside the empty mc container
disappeared!!!!! Any idea why???
Here is my code:
stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
loadMovie("hlhuntyears.swf", container);
container._width = 800;
container._height = 500;

I export it as an .exe since its going to be a cd rom and
when I double click the .exe to run it I get a blank screen. But
when I take out height and width it shows up but not to the correct
scale. The original file (hlhuntyears.swf) is 1440 x 900 and when I
run the .exe I can only see a tiny piece of it. Can anybody help??
please??

Can CDC enabled database DIFF backups be RESTORED while maintaining the CDC integrity?

We tried restoring FULL + subsequent DIFF backups of a CDC enabled database to a different SQL server and found that the CDC integrity is not being maintained. We did RESTORE the databases with the KEEP_CDC option.
Can someone please guide us on how to successfully restore the CDC enabled database backups(FULL + DIFF) while maintaining the CDC integrity?
Note: SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2

Hi YoungBreeze,
Based on your description, I make a test on my computer.
Firstly, I create a database named ‘sqldbpool’ , then enable the
Change Data Capture (CDC) feature and take full+ differential backups of the database. Below are the scripts I used.
-- Create database sqldbpool
CREATE DATABASE [sqldbpool] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'SQLDBPool', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool.mdf' , SIZE = 5120KB ,
MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'SQLDBPool_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool_log.LDF' , SIZE = 3840KB ,
MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO
use sqldbpool;
go
-- creating table
create table Customer
custID int constraint PK_Employee primary key Identity(1,1)
,custName varchar(20)
--Enabling CDC on SQLDBPool database
USE SQLDBPool
GO
EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_db
--Enabling CDC on Customer table
USE SQLDBPool
GO
EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_table
@source_schema = N'dbo',
@source_name = N'Customer',
@role_name = NULL
GO
--Inserting values in customer table
insert into Customer values('jugal'),('shah')
-- Querying CDC table to get the changes
select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
--Taking full database backup
backup database sqldbpool to disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak'
insert into Customer values('111'),('222')
-- Querying CDC table to get the changes
select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
--Taking differential database backup
BACKUP DATABASE sqldbpool TO DISK = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpooldif.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL
GO
Secondly, I restore the ‘sqldbpool’ database in a different SQL Server instance with the following scripts. After the restoration, everything works as expected and the database maintains the CDC integrity.
Use master
Go
--restore full database backup
restore database sqldbpool from disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak' with keep_cdc
Restore Database sqldbpool From Disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak'
With Move 'SQLDBPool' To 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool.mdf',
Move 'SQLDBPool_log' To 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool_log.LDF',
Replace,
NoRecovery;
Go
--restore differential database backup
restore database sqldbpool from disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpooldif.bak' with keep_cdc
--add the Capture and Cleanup jobs
Use sqldbpool
exec sys.sp_cdc_add_job 'capture'
GO
exec sys.sp_cdc_add_job 'cleanup'
GO
insert into Customer values('TEST'),('TEST1')
-- Querying CDC table to get the changes
select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
When we restore a CDC enabled database, we need to note that the CDC feature is available only on the Enterprise, Developer, and Evaluation editions of SQL Server. And we need to add the Capture and Cleanup agent jobs after restoring the database.
For more details about restoring a CDC enabled database in SQL Server, you can review the following similar articles.

How do I successfully restore the CDC enabled database backups (FULL + DIFF) while maintaining the CDC integrity?
Answer
When restoring a CDC enabled database on a different machine that is running SQL Server, besides using use the KEEP_CDC option to retain all the CDC metadata, you also need to add Capture and Cleanup jobs.
In addition, as you want to restore FULL + DIFF backups of a CDC enabled database, you need to note that the KEEP_CDC and NoRecovery options are incompatible. Use the KEEP_CDC option only when you are completing the recovery. I made a test to display
the whole process that how to restore the CDC enabled database backups (FULL + DIFF) on a different machine.

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and set-up with multiple user accounts. How do I create a path to store data files on my second drive within an application?

I have an iMac with 2 internal drives and a multiple user account set-up. Hw do I create a path to store data files on the second drive within an application?

This is the Mac mini forum not the iMac forum however...
Applications written for average users like Photoshop, Word, i.e. GUI based applications provide a 'Save' dialog box which while allow selecting second drives or any drive. The dialob box initially shown might be in the simple mode but you just need to click on the triangle to show the full set of options. You should then see the different drive names amongst other options.
If your referring to an application your writing yourself then you need to build a pathname. This can be in one of two styles depending on the programming system your using. This could be a POSIX style path or a Mac style path.
POSIX = /Volumes/volname/foldername
Mac style = Volname:foldername:
