CS3:Is it possible ...

Hi,
I know it's not a good idea adding a new menu item under Adobe's File menu by a plugin, but I was asked today and I wonder if someone has know about any restriction/possibility of this?
Thank you,
Mor

I think I found my answer in archive.

[CS3 JS SDK] Possible to Use HTTP URLs for Links?

I am attempting to use JavaScript to implement a connector from CS3 (InDesign/InCopy in my case) to our content management system. Our CMS provides an HTTP-based API. By using the HttpConnection object (from the Bridge code, see posts on "httpwebaccess library") I can access our repository using HTTP URLs and, for example, get an InDesign document or INX file (and the UI support in CS3 scripting makes it possible for me to build all the UI components I need without having to write a true plugin).
However, what I *can't* seem to do is create Link objects that use a URL, rather than a File, to access resources.
My goal is to be able to store in our repository InDesign documents that use URLs to other resources in the repository for links (e.g., to graphics and InCopy articles).
However, as far as I can tell from the scripting documentation and my own experiments, the URL property on Link is read-only in JavaScript (even though the scripting API HTML indicates it's a read/write property) and Link instances can only be constructed using File objects.
My question: have I missed some trick in the scripting API (or elsewhere) that would allow me to create links that use URLs instead of files (and having done so would InDesign resolve those URLs?)? Our repository does support WebDAV, so that might be an option, but it would depend on mounting WebDAV services in consistent places on client machines, which is dicey at best, given the weak nature of the WebDAV clients on both Windows and OS X).
Or are my only options to either copy linked resources to the client's local file system (or a shared network drive) or implement a plugin that implements my desired behavior for links?
And if the answer is a plugin, will that even work?
This is in the context of CS3. Has the Link mechanism changed at all in CS4 such that I could do what I want in CS4 where I cannot in CS3?
Thanks,
Eliot

Hi,
It is not possible to use HTTP URLS in CS3. You will have to create a plug-in to use Custom Data Links.
I think it is possible to use HTTP URLs in CS4 as per the User Guide.

Unicode in Photoshop CS3 - is it possible ?

Hi. How can i use unicode characters within a Photoshop CS3 text layer? An example: In Word, i can type
261A
followed by
[Alt-key] C
then i see an unicode character in Word (the left-pointing hand).
This does not work in Photoshop. I also cannot copy-paste the unicode character from Word to Photoshop.
What i can do of course:
- do a screenshot of the character
- print the character to PDF and import it hi-res to Photoshop
But is it not possible to type in unicode directly. On the net, i didnt find a compact solution.
Is there a way to insert unicode smoothly to a PS text layer?
Btw, Id like unicode not so much for foreign languages, more for symbols (I know there are symbol font sets like Dingbats that don't require unicode). To look up unicode, i use decodeunicode.org and unicode.org. What else do you recommend to find interesting unicode symbols, web sites or freeware (for Windows)?
Thanks!

In Photoshop...Use Zapf Dingbats, or whichever font you need that contains the extended character you want to display. It's just the quickest and easiest way to get them into a Photoshop layout.
Using the Glyph Palette (panel) will make your choices handy.
Why do it this way? Photoshop doesn't have a built-in parser to convert code so that it will display as characters.
Online, use unicode or character entities coding. You already know how to do that.

CS3 Student, Upgrade to CS3 Normal..possible?

I've currently got Web Premium CS3 Student Edition and have found out that it's not allowed for commercial use. Is it possible for me to upgrade from CS3 Student Edition to the normal CS3 package?
If it is, then is it for the fee quoted on the website for upgrades from CS3, £175?
I'm going to give Adobe a call soon, but it's been bugging me for a while now and the sooner I know the better.
Thanks.

There exist two different editions:
a) student edition: no upgrades, no commercial use, compared to normal prizes very cheap.
b) academic box edition: upgrades, commercial use during and after being a student, more expensive than the student edition, no allowance to sell it - it is only for your use - you do not have the right to sell it.
So, if you own a student edition, you can not upgrade. If you have an academic box edition, you can upgrade (with standard upgrade versions).

InDesign CS3 - Is it possible to thread anchored text across pages?

New to InDesign. Just learned about anchored objects. Have anchored text that is longer than the text it refers to. Text exists in the first column and would like for text to thread to the first column on the next page.

I don't think so. As you have it now, the callout stays with the line the object is anchored to, and it doesn't break and continue at the end of a page -- which is a problem when your callout line is near or at the bottom of the page.
I don't suppose you could create separate anchored frames for each of the text lines in the callout ... It would work for a while, but you would run into problems when editing -- you cannot easily edit a single callout as the frames are not threaded, and if two of these objects end up on the same line in the original text thread, they would appear on top of eachother.
Any of the other guys & gals out there with a good idea?

Excel 2008 -- Illustrator CS3...possible?

All previous versions of Office have allowed us to simply copy a chart in Excel, then paste into Illustrator for cleanup. Not so with Excel 2008 -- nothing happens when 'Paste' is selected. Nor has it worked to paste the chart into Word, re-copy, then paste into Illustrator. Nor to save as PDF and open in Illustrator (the chart is a jpeg, we need editable objects).
We do a *lot* of brochures/presentations for scientific companies, and prettifying data is a crucial part of what we do for them. For simpler graphs we can re-draw on top of a placed jpeg, but a lot of these companies produce data files with literally thousands of data points.
As a temporary fix we can downgrade back to Office 2004, but eventually that won't work. Is there an Office 2008 workaround?

The easiest work around I see is saving the graph/table as picture by right clicking on the object, selecting "Save As PIcture..." and saving it as a .pdf.
Then in Illustrator-> File- Open - yourfile.pdf. Every component within the object at that point should be selectable and editable. From there you can Select All and copy and paste the components of the object into whatever you are working on.
I used Illustrator for most of my graph layout stuff for papers and such and this little snag is definitely a pain. Those steps, though slightly more time consuming, do the trick without having to revert to office2004.
Hope that helps!

Saving a cs4 to cs3

I am just learning Dreamweaver CS4 but my school only has CS3, is it possible to save my CS4 files to CS3??

There is no difference.
Web files (HTML and CSS) are web files. Plain text readable by humans. There's no proprietary file format conversion required.
The only difference would be CS3 functions which have been deprecated in CS4 won't be available in CS4
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS2C41F19D-502B-4fb5-8A54-4442E2127C84a .html
Deprecated features
The following features have been deprecated for Dreamweaver CS4:
■Timelines
■Web services
■Layout mode
■Site Map view
■Java Bean support
■Adobe® Flash elements (Image Viewer)
■Adobe® Flash text and Adobe® Flash buttons
■ASP.NET and JSP server behaviors and recordsets
If you use any of those features in your web pages, you'll need CS3 to maintain them. Or find another way of doing them in CS4.
e.g. if you use Timelines or Flash buttons at school using CS3, you won't be able to work on them using CS4 at home.

Quick Selection, sharpness possible

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS3, is it possible to have sharp selection using quick selection tool.
I'm doing cut outs for feature pages and I use pen tool often which give sharp edges, but is the same possible with Quick Selection ?

That you're asking this question implies you may not have a solid understanding of path vs. pixel (raster) selection and masking operations. Given that it's hard to judge that, it becomes a bit difficult to answer your question well.
Perhaps if you describe more about what you're currently doing an answer will become more clear. Are you making paths with the pen, then turning them into selections, then copying image data using those selections and pasting it into another document?
As an attempt at a general answer: The quick selection tool by itself doesn't make generally sharp, straight, clean edges and kind of expects you to do edge refinement on its selection to make a mask. Note, for example, the [Refine Edge] button available when the quick selection tool is active. Given this knowledge, it's possible you could do something like this:
1. Quick Selection tool to generally isolate your subject from the background.
2. Click the Refine Edge button.
3. Adjust Contrast and Smoothness to isolate the subject with sharp, clean edges.
There is incredible power in the Refine Edge function, and it's well worth looking into further.
There's a decent Russell Brown video tutorial on masking and refining edges here:

Flash cs5 cs3 compatibility

hello.
i am at school that requires student to purchase the Current adobe CS suite when they enter as freshman.
we now have CS5 in our labs. Students cannot figure a way to get there CS5 files into CS3.
is this possible?
thanks,
harvey

Check to see what each program has an optioon for in the save as dialgue box.
E.I. Flash CS4 can save as CS3 and CS3 can Save as CS2 and as well Illustrator can do the same same but in a borader spectrum even sa low as AI 9.
My suggestion would be to make native files of each in CS5 app and test then go back to CS 5 and try all of the save as opitons using the legacy options. I can probably say Phtooshop, and Illustrator will not be so hard but Flash, Encore, Premier, After Effects, etc., will be shoot and miss especially since you are going from CS5 all the way down to CS3.
I ebleiev Phtooshop is the only one that can do it if you sue the most campatable opitons check bix when saving a .PSD file.
Remmebr as a strudent even though you get a great deal when you buy a student version of the suite you can never upgrade those licenses. SO you arn't really getting a deal you will eventallu pay for a full suite amdprobab;y more if you keep buyion student versions.
Buy full versions and never look back. Upgrade costs for full licenses are just as much as buying a new student version every new release. I tell students all teh time by a full version and be ready once you graduate.

Cs5 cs3 compatibility

hello.
i am at school that requires student to purchase the Current adobe CS suite when they enter as freshman.
we now have CS5 in our labs. Students cannot figure a way to get there CS5 files into CS3.
is this possible?
thaks,
harvey

InDesign files are not backwards compatible. In CS4 there was an option to save files in a interchange format that 3 could open, but I don't see that option in CS5. You might try saving in the IDML from the export menu, but the chances of CS 3 opening it are not good.
Dreamweaver should work as it's just html/css etc...
Photoshop should work backwards
Finally can't speak to flash as I don't use it.
Hope this helps some.

Flash CS3 trial installation failure when Flash 8 Pro installed

I am trying to install the trial version of Flash CS3 on my
PC.
The installation fails to install Flash CS3 or Shared
Components. I currently have a fully licensed copy of Flash 8
Professional installed on the same PC. Is there some reason I can't
do this?
I am trying to see if we want to upgrade to CS3 by checking
out the improvements/features etc. Sure, I could go ahead and spend
the $200 but we may not need the improvements.
Presumably there would be no problem upgrading to CS3 and
that the problem is caused by the fact I am trying to install a
full version trial rather than an upgrade.
Can anybody confirm that this is the case?
One of the things I wanted to test with CS3 is the
possibility of loading a Flex .swf into a Flash shell to be able to
run as an executable. We are not currently in the market for AIR
which will allow that. We are just trying to add the ability to run
our code as a stand-alone.
Any help/comments appreciated.
TIA
Colin

Certain components install with no problem. Adobe Bridge CS3,
Adobe Device Central CS3, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2 and Adobe
Flash CS3 Video Encoder are installed. But Flash itself and the
Shared Components are not installed.
The problem with AIR is that I would need CS3 installed to
use it. So I can't check that out yet either :-(

2) AIR is free, so not being in the market makes no sense. It
is an 'extension' to Flash CS3 or Flex or Dreamweaver, that can be
downloaded.

Upgrading CS3 to CS4 suite and keeping some CS3 apps

I have CS3 Design Premium and am upgrading to Elearning Suite. Can I keep Illustrator/InDesign CS3 which are not included in the Elearning Suite?

The CS4 installer doesn't touch anything in CS3 with the possible exception of Acrobat. So, to answer your question, yes, you can keep the old CS3 apps installed.
