CS4 and Spaces

I've seen postings about photoshop CS4's conflicts with Spaces, but not recently and not about CS4 as a whole.
The main issue I experience is that when I try to permanently assign, for example, illustrator to Space 2(in the system preferences, spaces tab), and then open illustrator while in a different space. What happens is that half the application (particularly the application frame) opens up in space 2, while the splash screen hits whatever space I'm in, and with it all the toolbars and palettes. Then selecting half in the application in either space causes a back and forth switching between spaces, potentially causing the dock (which i believe manages Spaces) to crash.
the only ways to fix this are to activate spaces so that you can see all four, and then hold shift while dragging the toolbars and palettes over to the application frame OR to quit illustrator, switch to space 2 and open illustrator there OR to not assign a CS4 app to a specific space
OR to turn off the application frame. This basically works, and is what I do. But what happens is that the toolbars/palettes still open in whatever space you're in, but as soon as you open an illustrator document everything gets automatically switched permanently to Space 2.
I suppose this is partly an OS X bug, but it really is the CS4 app that is somehow not managing its windows correctly when the application launches. And it is somehow tied to a difference in how the application frame and the flash parts of the GUI (toolbars and palettes) are handled. Having an application's splash screen come up in the foreground when I'm in another application and just trying to open illustrator or photoshop in the background to a different space is (just) annoying, but is definately related to the larger problem.
please fix this. Being able to assign an application to its own space is really productive and useful. And I like the application frame, too bad I can't use it...

Using CS4 and spaces

Hi everyone,
I have recently moved from Creative Suite CS3 to CS4 and the CS4 windows will not move across to different Spaces.
I used to click on the window bar of the one I wanted to move, then do the shortcut for the space I wanted to move it to, and away it would go.
Now, with CS4, I move to the new Space but the window doesn't come with me.
Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks

I've had this problem with all the CSx since spaces was introduced... Dreamweaver seems to be the worst of the bunch. I never found a solution

[CS4][Mac] Problemas CS4 y Spaces Leopard

Hola, hasta hoy trabajaba con la versión de Leopard 10.5.6 y los spaces de Leopard no funcionaban muy bien al cambiar entre aplicaciones de la CS4.
Hoy he actualizado a la versión 10.5.7 pesando que se solucionaría y nada, la cosa va a peor. Solo me ocurre con los programas de Adobe.
El problema es al pasar de un space donde está por ejemplo Photoshop a otro donde está Illustrator. Si no hay documentos abiertos no va al space, y si hay documentos abiertos va al space pero no enfoca en la aplicación.
No se si es un problema de Adobe o del sistema de Apple... a alguien más le ocurre esto? sabéis alguna solución?
Gracias, un saludo,
Pedro J. Sempere

En la literatura técnica de Adobe se establece categóricamente que Photoshop CS4 no es compatible con Spaces de Leopard, que la empresa no ofrece nigún soporte técnico al respecto y que si los usuarios tienen problemas en este sentido deberán dirigirse a Apple.
Los ingenieros de Adobe, entre ellos específicamente Chris Cox, alegan que la culpa es de Apple. Dicen que Apple no ha implementado sus propias normas y lineamientos, que Adobe ha seguido escrupulosamente las directivas de Apple pero que Apple es quien ha fallado en la implementación de Spaces.

ID CS4 and Adobe Digital Editions

One reason I purchased ID CS4 was for the ability to create ebooks using ADE. However, my first attempt to export to ADE has been far from successful.
The project is a 152-page book. It was "created" in ID CS4 and is straight text except for the publisher's logo, which appears on the title page. Each chapter is its own file, as is each element of the front matter. Three fonts are used in the publication: Arial, Formata, and Palatino. The Formata and Palatino fonts are OT fonts; they were newly purchased as OT fonts for this client. Each use of italic or bold in the book's text, excluding heads, is by a character style that includes the font family name. For example, if the text is supposed to be Palatino Italic, the character style includes both bits of information, a generic Italic is not used.
I combined all of the elements of the project into a single ID Book, which is what I used to update numbering, etc. When I export to PDF from the Book, everything works fine. When I export to Adobe Digital Editions from the Book, the following occurs:
1. Arial and Palatino are embedded but Formata is not.
2. The first and last files of the Book (i.e., the title page and the References) appear in the ePub file and are viewable in the ADE viewer, but everything between those two files, including all of the text chapters, are empty files that appear as blank pages in the ADE viewer.
What am I doing wrong? How do I
a. Get Formata embedded?
b. Get the complete project into an ePub file?
Another thought: Would the way to do this be to do each chapter as a separate export to ADE and then combine each of the separate files into a single ePub file? If so, how would one do this? I've noted that when creating an ePub file several additional informational files are created. It isn't clear to me how one would combine that information.
Also, is there a good source and/or book (or several sources and/or books) that gives step-by-step instruction information on turning a project into an ePub file? Although this project has no graphics, tables, etc., future projects will have numerous graphics, tables, etc. and so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

You're not actually doing anything wrong. You're experiencing a bug. Hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming update to InDesign CS4.
The cause of the problem comes down to the spaces in the name of the font you've used in your document (i.e. Myriad Pro Bold). If an embedded font contains spaces in its name, it won't be used and Adobe Digital Editions will use its default font instead. The problem can be overcome by directly editing the EPUB file. I use Oxygen to open up the EPUB file directly, but you can also change the .epub file extension to .zip and then unarchive the package to gain access to the various files within it. Once you've opened the EPUB file, you need to modify three things: the template.css file, encryption.xml file, and the font files.
Template.css
At the top of the CSS file, you'll see font face declarations for each font you've used in your document. If your font(s) has spaces in its name, you'll notice that a %20 has replaced the space. Change each instance of the %20 to a hyphen. Here's an example:
@font-face {
font-family: Myriad Pro;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
src:url(Fonts/MyriadPro%20Bold.otf);
Change to:
@font-face {
font-family: Myriad Pro;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
src:url(Fonts/MyriadPro-Bold.otf);
Encryption.xml
For each type style you've used in your document, there will be a <enc:CipherData> element. If your font(s) has spaces in its name, you'll notice that a %20 has replaced the space here as well. Change each instance of the %20 to a hyphen. Here's an example:
<enc:CipherData>
<enc:CipherReference URI="OEBPS/Fonts/MyriadPro%20Regular.otf"/>
</enc:CipherData>
Change to:
<enc:CipherData>
<enc:CipherReference URI="OEBPS/Fonts/MyriadPro-Regular.otf"/>
</enc:CipherData>
Font Files:
Within the EPUB package is a folder called "Fonts," where all the embedded fonts reside. You need to rename the files by replacing the spaces with hyphens.
That's all there is to it. After editing and saving the files, you'll have to rearchive the package and change the .zip extension back to .epub. If you use Oxygen to edit the package, there is no rearchiving necessary. You can also use the free PDFXML Inspector, but I definitely prefer Oxygen since it provides many more tools and its not so clunky.

Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer displaying font preview.

I am using Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer showing all of them, just blank spaces where they would be...that is unless I put my cursor over it and I can then see the typeface. This is more of a nuisance than anything and didn't happen until I updates OS X to Yosemite. I currently am operating OS X Yosemetie 10.10.2
I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the font highlighted as the cursor is over it I can see the preview...but one I move the cursor it appears like all the others in the list and is blank.
HELP!

Solved using this previous users had the same issue; Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

File size comparisons, InDesign CS3, CS4 and CS5?

Hi, all.
It seems there was a trend for several major releases where each time Adobe released a new version of InDesign and InCopy, average file sizes grew by 20% or so from the old release to the new release, at least back in the older CS days. Has this trend continued, such that file sizes in CS4 are substantially larger than file sizes from CS3, and CS5 files are substantially larger than those from CS4?
Adobe, of course, wants to keep writing functionality that will keep the user community coming back to buy in to upgrades. The added functionality sometimes comes at a cost beyond the price tag. If file sizes are larger in a newer version, then page saves over a network or to a database are likely to be slower, and user productivity takes a hit while users are waiting for files to be saved.
Has anyone done any testing to build the "same" page in multiple versions of InDesign to understand what the effect is on the file sizes? I'm specifically interested in the file sizes between InDesign CS3, CS4 and CS5. To be meaningful, the test page would have to be at least moderately complex, with a couple of photos, multiple text elements and so forth. By "same," the page wouldn't take advantage of new functionality in newer versions but would be saved as a native page of the current version, though the file sizes may be bloated by the new functionality like it or not.
If you've done any testing along these lines, I'd like to hear more about it.
Thanks.
Mark

The overall structure of ID's files have been exactly the same for -- as far as I can see back -- CS. No change at all, in there.
There have been significant additions to the 'global' spaces; stuff like InCopy user data, table styles, object styles, and cross references. Each of these add a major chunk of data to each file, whether you use it or not, plus a few bytes per object (again, whether you use them or not -- ID also needs to know where you did not use them, that's why). I think these might be the main source of 'global' file size increase (a single object style in one of my files, for example, eats up a healthy chunk of 11,482 bytes).
For the rest, all new stuff like 'span columns' is a handful of bytes per paragraph style. Tracking changes may very well double the size of text runs -- but 1 character takes up 1 byte of storage (plus perhaps some overhead of indicating its 'tracking' status). Any single measurement unit always uses 8 bytes at least (for example, the left inset for a column span -- even if it's not used, or set to 0pt).
I think we're talking about a couple of K's here (oh -- perhaps a max of a hundred or so), in a file format that has been designed around the concept of "disk pages", each 4K big, meaning that sometimes adding one single character to a text box increases the file size by 4 K.
Your idea of comparing the size of a file created in CS3 against the same saved as CS4 and as CS5 is certainly feasible -- I might try it some time, just to confirm it's purely the extra 'new objects' data that accounts for the size increase and to confirm my guesstimates of the number of Ks involved.

Installation/uninstall issues between CS4 and CS5

I had CS4 installed. I purchased CS5 (downloaded it) installed that. When I got the disks via mail, I tried to install that version (disk version). I started having issues as to which program would open a .prproj file. Often the CS4 version of Premiere Pro opened. Not what I wanted. I eventually uninstalled CS5 entirely and then reinstalled. Then things were working fine. However, I then tried to uninstall CS4. (I have seen from numerous posts/comments to leave both on -- which I really don't know why. Doesn't make sense to keep both versions). I prefer not to have an extra 4GB of space used for programs I am no longer using. However, in doing so, the uninstall didn't appear to do a perfect job. And now I can't double-click a .prproj file. This icon is also blank white. I went into Set Associations and I can't assign .prproj to Premiere CS5. In looking at the Open With window, I notice that some of the icons for other Adobe programs are all splewy (Adobe Encore is using the CS4 icon, Adobe Illustrator is using the PDF icon, Flash Catalyst is using the Air icon, etc.)
I could: a) uninstall everything, including Adobe Acrobat Pro (which I had purchased and installed prior to CS4 or CS5) and then reinstall everything -- sheesh that would take a while; or b) I could ask my friends here to explain and guide me!

Hi Stix, Thanks.
I am not so positive that there is no difference between the download version vs the media version specifcially because in downloading the updates, the site demands you choose your update depending on how your software was installed. I figured that the download would be smaller. Perhaps you are right. And maybe it is the same, in either case, when I get a stack of disks, I tend to think there is more on the disk and the download version is merely the core applications.
Anyway, I had to uninstall everything CS4 and CS5 and then reinstall CS5. Oddly, this didn't automatically fix my problem. However, at least I was able to choose Premiere CS5 to open .prproj files and check off the box to use it as the default. (I wasn't able to before). So now it works!

CS4 and the EVIL Akamai Download Manager

Hi, I purchased CS4 and am now unable to download the product!
Can anybody help me? .....pleeeeeeeez
I was able to download all the downloads except the 3.7GB main download.
I have tried in Firefox 3, IE 6, IE 7, Opera.
I have tried on 2 different computers.
I have downloaded the latest Active X components and latest Java platforms for both IE and Firefox.
I have enabled cookies, javascript, popus, ads.
I have disabled all firefox plugins, firewalls and antivirus.
I have checked with my ISP that I can in fact download such big files.
I have successfully managed to download CS3 in the past.
I have plenty of disk space and RAM.
The error message I receive in Firefox reads as follows:
Download Manager Fatal Error
Could not find the requested file on the server.
Contact the author of the page that contains the link. This download will be canceled.
I have wasted so many hours this trying to get this to work. Also spent a long time on the online chat to support with no success. Trying to contact Adobe over the phone is impossible - whether I try in the morning or evening - the response is "office hours are 9am - 5pm" ...whenever that is!? Clearly its not referring to GMT or the USA time zone. Technical support via the website - well, will see if they ever respond to the case I opened there.
Right now I'm really really hating this Akamai download manager. Anybody know how to get a NORMAL link to download so I can use my normal download manager?

dont worry any more with cs5 its realy easy and realy high speeeeeeeed downloading and you can use your own download manager
just visit

How do I print accurate colors with Photoshop CS4 and Yosemite?

I recently upgraded to OS 10.10, Yosemite. I can no longer get accurate colors printed for photos from Photoshop. I have Photoshop CS4 and I use an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer. I am able to use Photoshop for everything but printing accurately. I downloaded all recommended drivers for the printer, reloaded profiles for the printer and even tried a trial of Photoshop CC. Nothing resolves the problem. My prints look kind of solarized. Black and white photos have green areas where there should be black. Please help.

I thought my problem could be Lightroom is in ProphotoRGB color space, and my printer is Adobe1998 color space. To test this, I changed the color space of my patches from prophoto to AdobeRGB. I checked my colors in Photoshop, and made them match the RGB number I specified. It was interesting to note that (128,128,255) had a noticeable shift to purple. the other colors shifted slightly. Now I printed the test page with Lightroom managing color and the printer managing color. Both images came out similar.
This study came about when I was printing some images, and the sky had a definite purple shift. So, I took the image into Photoshop and converted the colorspace from prophoto to Adobe. Printed the image, and the image came out much better.
So the question now is, do I need to convert each image I print in Photoshop, or am I doing something wrong in Lightroom?

CS4 hates Spaces

I'm finding that Flash CS4 has some serious problems working
in Spaces, much more than CS3 - how's that for a reverse upgrade?
CS3 had some cosmetic problems - panels would be blank when you
switch to Flash but you could easily restore the contents by
clicking on the panel. In CS4, once the contents of a panel are
gone (biggest offender: Color), they're gone for good (or at least
until you quit and relaunch). The contents of the main window often
separate from the window frame, appearing in the wrong Space - at
least here by going into Spaces overview you can drag the contents
back into the window!) Or is this just me…
while on the topic of reverse upgrades, you can no longer
right click (or command-click) on the icon proxy in the titlebar to
get the file path menu. I use this all the time… but no
more.

The issue of CS4 and support for Leopard Spaces will be dealt with in great detail in the following thread:

I currently use CS4 and have designs using this. If I upgrade to CC will I still be able to modify my CS4 designs? I'm thinking of unistalling CS4 to add memory to my computer.

If my system currently has CS4 and designs have been created with CS4, will I be able to modify those designs with Creative Cloud? Also, If I upgrade to Creative Cloud, should I uninstall CS4 to make more space on my computer?

Yes, legacy files can be opened in CC. Whether or not you uninstall CS4 is entirely up to you, but since opening files in newer versions may sometimes change appearances due to technical changes, it's usually a good idea to keep older versions around during transition phases, if only to check for those issues and verify that they are "real".

PP CS4 and G45/P45 chipsets

Does the G45 Northbridge Chipset offer any advantages for Premium Pro CS4 (or After Effects), or is the P45 chipset a better alternative?
Thanks in advance and,
Keep Smiling

Jim:
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm also partial to separate graphics cards, to be clear.
However, I'm building 26 machines for a classroom setting. I've read that the G45 chipset works with H-264 streams (as well as MPEG-2). If Premiere Pro can take
b useful
advantage of this, it would eliminate the expense of providing 26 separate graphics cards. These students aren't going to be doing anything fancy--no multi-cam, multi-stream projects--just the basics.
Gigabyte and Intel offer mATX mobos with G45/ICH10R chipsets, which would allow for small footprint workstations. Now, I know these boards are designed/positioned more for the Home Theatre markets.
But---If PP CS4 can take advantage of the on-board graphics, and it provides some speed/efficiency edge, then I can save $$ (and space and heat) by skipping the added graphics cards, and transfer those funds into faster Duo 2 Quad (6600) CPUs.
So, my question is: Can PP CS4 use the on-board graphics of the G45 Northbridge, or should I step across to the P45, and fill the graphics card slot?
Keep Smiling

Co-existence of CS4 and creative cloud

I have been having CS4 for 4 years now, recently I buy a license for creative cloud. Should I uninstall all of my CS4 and use only CC or shall I download the current version of Photoshop, Illustrator from CC to my desktop and co-exist CS4 with CC version.

Hi,
You definitely want to install into a different folder so you
don't overwrite things like the jdeveloper.ini files.
If you have 2.0 installed in a directory like 'C:\JDeveloper',
installe 3.0 in 'C:\JDeveloper 3.0'. You should not have any
problems with a space in the directory name.

PP Install fails for CS4 and CS3

Hi,
I've been trying to install my licensed copy of CS3 on a machine that had 6.5 installed and ran fine. After two days with no success, I decided I'd download CS4 and see if it installed. No such luck. The behavior is the same for both CS3 and CS4. Setup begins in CS3 and goes through the extraction of the files, when the splash screen appears for initializing setup, it flashes briefly then goes disappears and exits. In CS4, the "checking system profile" gets about 85% complete, then the initalizing setup splash screen appears for a moment and disappears The checking system profile remains on the screen and the process is hung.
Machine is a 3.4 Ghz Dell with 2GB RAM, SATAII hard drive with plenty of space, video is Intel integrated. XP professional service pack 3.
Here's what I've tried:
1) Cleaned up and removed every Adobe application on the machine, then run the CS3Cleaner at levels 1,2,3,4.
2) Used ccleaner to remove and repair all registry related issues.
3) Used msconfig to disable all startup commands.
4) Updated to the latest Intel Graphics Accelerator/driver and latest chip drivers for the video.
5) Removed most applications.
Still seems like a conflict to me, but I can't think of anything short of reinstalling XP. I'm at wit's end and refuse to reinstall XP from scratch just to figure out something that should be apparent to me from the installation. The windows event log gives the message that the software was successfully installed and the add/remove programs has an entry for CS3. When I click remove, I get a prompt for debugging in Visual Studio.
I've rebooted, cleaned, retried about 40 times. No, I'm not exaggerating.
HELP! and TIA!

NULL and Space value in ABAP

Hi All,
I like to know, is it NULL and Space value is same in ABAP, if it is not how to check null value.
Thank you.
Senthil

everything is correct though some answers are not correct.
A Database NULL value represents a field that has never been stored to database - this saving space, potentially.
Usually all SAP tables are stored with all fields, empty fields are stored with their initial value.
But: If a new table append is created and the newly-added fields do not have the 'initial value' marked in table definition, Oracle will just set NULL values for them.
as mentioned: There is no NULL value to be stored in an ABAP field. The IS NULL comparison is valid only for WHERE clause in SELECT statement. WHERE field = space is different from WHERE field IS NULL. That's why you should check for both specially for appended table fields.
If a record is selected (fulfilling another WHERE condition) into an internal table or work area, NULL values are convertted to their initial values anyway.
Hope that sheds some light on the subject!
regards,
Clemens
