CS4 In Design. 1st time using.How to convert 2 pages on board to 2 files for printing
Using InDesign for newsletter for first time. I set the doc up as 2 11 x 17 pages on one board. Printer needs as 2 sepPDF files. How do I do this? Don't see option to just copy all and paste into new docs? Self taught-just BEGINNING to learn this. Thanks in advance for help. CS$ Indesign. Usually use AI, but thought the Indesign would be easiier.
Thanks, jm. Will try that. I feel lost trying to learn this and of course now I have a deadline. (-: Appreciate your answer.

I am using IOS system with pdf preview functions. I try to convert editable pdf file into read only for others to print without access to edit the file.
The only way I can do now is to convert to jpeg for each page and convert back to pdf then combine all pages together. It takes a lot of time in this case.
Can anyone tell me how to do the conversion without setting up passwards for protection?
Thank you very much!First of all, don't use all CAPS as it means shouting.
Second, your question is completely off-topic for this forum which discusses Microsoft Office Outlook.
Third, this is a peer-to-peer forum, don't count on anyone calling you. If you want dedicated support from Microsoft, contact Microsoft Support directly.
Anyway, you can insert the picture in to OneNote and then have OneNote convert it into text. This usually isn't very accurate for scans though.
A better solution would be to use a application which is dedicated to OCR. There are various out there. I suggest you try their demo versions to find out which works best with your handwriting.

Just brought the MacPro and first time using iTune and Yes I authorized the computer. But for a few purchased songs, only 30 seconds of the song plays and for one song off an album, a pop comes up saying I need to authorized the computer, but I do this and it says it is authorized already. I click on the song to play it and this process repeat (saying it is not authorized, then saying it is already authorized)
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail
How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
Many thanks in advance...iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
Then select the songs you wish to convert.
From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
That's it.
BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes. -
I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing?
I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing? It was under the "OBJECTS" menu in CS2, but I can't find it in CS5.
it actually works the same way but better you don't see it that way but with perhaps more experience you might catch on and say "oh now I see that' all I have to do.
Multiple artboards, which you did not have in CS 2 , changes the equation.
When you open a new document you can set up a gangup in the new document dialog then say for a business card then do one business card in the first one.
Then copy the art and text of that first one and in one command paste that art in all of the artboards with one command, you can then make another artboard that encompasses all the artboards and you now have a gang up say six up you can now print all a once as a gang up or print a range of the artboards or specific artboards.
As a matter of fact now that you can paste on all artboards with one command AI CS 5 actually has a step and repeat feature that works verticaly and horizontally at the same time. And an improved version is easily had.
Also since you probably know how many you need of this first artboard then you can simply make one rectangle for for the first artboard and give it a crop area effect and when you do your copy include the rectangle and then paste on all artboards and there you are
look at the video, see how cool. less complicated not more complicated. And as other users explore this function I bet they come up with even better ideas.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/Artboards.mov
I am going to make one adjustment here instead of doing a command c to copy the first artboard it would be better to do a command x to cut the first one since the command paste on all artboard does exactly that. So if you do a command c and a command option shift v then you have two rectangles and art and crop marks pasted on top of each other. Probably won't do any harm but might be confusing in the layers panel. -

DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested.

Need advise on preparing .ai files for print house for labels design
Greetings!
I just got a freelance job to do label design for commercial products (cleaning, food products, etc).
Its a huge task as the company have lots of products in the market and they decided to drop the design
company that were doing the labels for them and hire me to be the main designer.
Since my main work with Illustrator and Photoshop is been for Web Design and screen graphics,
I am not sure how to use Illustrator CS5 the best way for preparing the final files to send to a print house
according to European or US norms, I would like to have some help from other users that maybe are experience with this kind of job.
My main concerns for now are:
1. Should I send .ai or .eps?
2. Pantones or CMYK ? And how to create the artboards that show the measures of the labels and the pantone colors palette
(I have seen examples on some prints that have show me ), but have no idea if Illlustrator already have a template/tools for that.
3. About the size of the labels, if its a straight shape, like a square, you make the artboard on that size and just put some bleed,
but since most products labels come in many shapes, how do you work around it?
Since the artboard can´t have the same shape as the labels , will the white background being print?
4. When using effects like highlights, reflections, especially in Titles, how do you create the pantones for that ?
Hoping to have some help from the community here, you can send me some links, tuts,
everything that can help me to understand all this kind of process, I will be much appreciate.
Thanks!Some of the following (but not all) repeats, but elaborates on or clarifies what others have said.
First, though: While I certainly don't mean to discourage you, you will be far better off getting started if you realize this:
Designing for commercial-quality print is a hugely different world from designing for the web. You are now dealing with characteristics and limitations of real-world, physical machines, inks, substrates, and many-step workflows. The most tragic (and potentially disasterous) error web-only designers (and their clients) make is naively thinking that moving from web design to print design is a simple lateral move involving nothing more than a few quick answers to a bullet list of questions (CMYK vs. spot, etc., etc.) If you fall into that camp, you are asking for serious and costly trouble.
A user forum like this is a very poor place to educate yourself. Forums like this are populated by more beginners than experts, many of whom are far too eager to post answers. More often than otherwise, answers are--if not downright wrong--not best-practice.
You need to gain a working knowledge of the printing processes with which you wll be dealing. Take a class at the local tech school. Visit the printing houses (and don't carry a designer's chip on your shoulder). Look for any opportunity to get your fingers dirty; offer to do some grunt-work in a press room to gain exposure. Read authoritative books on the subject.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
f1. Should I send .ai or .eps?
Nowadays, PDF is the preferred delivery format for whole documents. If the printing house is placing the artwork in a program that cannot place PDF as a spot graphic, it is conceivable that they may need EPS. Depends on the printing house's workflow. In print work, you need to communicate with the printing house--and you need to learn to speak their language.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
2. Pantones or CMYK ?
Don't say "Pantones." Pantone is a company. Say "spot color." Pantone makes both process and spot inks. Pantone is not the only source for spot color. Your question is "spot color or CMYK process." The answer depends on the specific project.
Labels may involve CMYK process, spot colors, or a combination of the two. You can't just add colors to your design willy-nilly. You have to plan and design for it. It depends on the printing budget, the printing capabilitites of the printing house, the printing method, and even the design (which may affect the substrate, which may not be suitable for process).
When designing for print, don't think in terms of colors. Always think in terms of inks, because that's what you're really dealing with. Each time you add an ink, you add a workflow process, and therefore cost. As soon as you add a number of inks in the design that exceeds the number of inkwells on the press on which it will be run, you have just necessitated another press pass.
Labels also commonly involve clear or translucent inks (varnishes), liquid lamination (flood or spot), metallic inks, and/or foils. Each of those count as an additional ink or even a different work process. Sometimes certain inks require drying time after previously-laid inks, which also affects costs.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
And how to create the artboards that show the measures of the labels and the pantone colors palette
Again, best practice depends on the printing house and its workflow. For example, it can be a no-brainer labor (i.e.; money) savings to gang multiple instances of a label design onto a design page (Artboard) set up to the size of the press sheet.
It can be advantageous to draw die cuts on a separate Layer, also ganged to match the artwork layout. Same may apply to foils, varnishes, and embosses. It's often advantageous to draw trim and fold marks in the bleed area of the page layout. It's often advantageous to add registration marks in a press-sheet layout.
Again, best-practice depends on the project--but the economical and turn-around advantages can be significant.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
(I have seen examples on some prints that have show me ), but have no idea if Illlustrator already have a template/tools for that.
Whenever you catch yourself thinking "I have no idea if Illustrator..."--read the instructions.
Most graphics programs (including Illustrator) provide options for including basic "printer marks" (trim and registration marks, separation labels) outboard of the page size. That doesn't mean it isn't often advantageous to add your own. For example, the auto printer marks setting will only add one set of trim marks for the whole page. That's pretty useless in a multi-up layout, which is quite common in label design.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...but since most products labels come in many shapes, how do you work around it?
Pages (Artboards in Illustrator) are rectangular. One typically provides die cuts (and/or varnishes, foils, embosses, etc., etc.) as elements drawn accurately on a Layer dedicated to the purpose.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Since the artboard can´t have the are same shape as the labels , will the white background being print?
There is no "background." This is an object-based program. Where there is no object, there is nothing. By default, even white fills don't mean "white ink"; they mean "no ink." (Remember, think inks, not colors.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
4. When using effects like highlights, reflections, especially in Titles, how do you create the pantones for that ?
Illustrator is primarily a vector based drawing program. Vector graphics are by nature and even by definition sharp edged. When vector programs try to provide "soft & fuzzy" features, they do it in either of two ways: either by programmatically creating additional vector paths and parameters (blends, grads, mesh grads), or by resorting to creation of non-vector "effects" (raster images). Whether such features correctly handle spot colors depends on the feature, and even on the version of the program.
So whenever working with spot color--in any program--you have to stay consciously aware of what you are actually doing (what kind of objects you are creating) when you apply such features. That's why it does no good in a user forum to speak of nebuous designerly terms like "highlights" when you ask technical questions. In order to get a correct answer, you ultimately have to state the kind of objects you are dealing with (and feature, and version, etc.).
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
1. PDF?? I only use .pdf to show the client the designs before approval but never as final file...also I have heard from some many places that if the print house needs to open the file on a different design program the best is to send them .eps
PDF is a delivery format. As such, it is very versatile. Design comps is only one of its many uses. But PDF is not meant to be an editable format. When you deliver a PDF that was created by Illustrator and which is fully editable on the receiving end, you are really embedding in the file a full second version of the file as native AI content. Whether this AI-native content is included is controlled by you when you export the PDF.
Editing PDFs that do not have the AI-native content embedded can be very cumbersome and problematic. Again: PDF is a delivery format, not an editing format. Ideally, the printing house should not have to edit your press-ready files. It is supposed to be up to you to build them correctly. That should be your goal.
I expressly forbid printing houses from editing my delivery files. If an edit is needed, it comes back to me, and I make the edits. If a printing house chooses to edit one of my files without permission--and a problem result--they eat it; not me.
Yes, yes, if print-side minor editing (like the afore-mentioned ingredients boilerplate scenario) is part of the established workflow, that's fine; its assumedly been agreed upon as the cost-efficient workflow. But generally speaking, the kind of designer who routinely relies upon the printing house as a "safety measure" to fix his files is...well...exactly the kind of designer I would not hire.
By the way: Hearing something "from many places" (especially in online user forums) in this business is no indication of correctness or best-practice. Quite often, the most-cited advice is the bad advice. Case-in-point: The ever-cited myth that everything for print should be rasterized to 300 ppi. 300 ppi is usually needless oversampling. This is especially true in reference to mere raster effects like those controlled by Illustrator's Document Raster Effects Resolution setting. 300 ppi is almost never needed for the most common uses of such effects: blurry drop shadows, glows, etc., etc. "Fuzzy" is the very purpose of those effects. All you have to concern yourself about is the potential for visible pixelation, which is directly tied to halftone ruling.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...what I was mention is to be able create like a table where you list the pantones use, same time to put measures guides on the artboard itself, is this possible to do in illustrator?
Again, separation names are included in the Printer Marks option of the Print Dialog. See the documentation. Depending upon your delivery format and workflow, the printing house may not even use Illustrator's printer marks; they may use those in one of their prepress programs.
But you should always check the seps before sending a press-ready file. You can do this in AI's print dialog, or in Acrobat Pro. Regardless, it's your job to make sure the project color-separates correctly. It is very common to "finish" a job thinking you have been very careful and everything is right. It is just as common to preview the seps and find an object on the wrong separation plate, or knocking out something it shouldn't, or overprinting something it should knock out.
(There's also the whole matter of trapping, which this thread has yet to mention.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
...imagine I have a label that is a star with 200x200 px, and the artboard is white background with 300x300px,
I will add (with as much force as I can muster) my admonition to that which has already been given: when talking about actual, physical measure, forget about the web. Forget about Photoshop's rulers. Forget about pixels. A pixel is not a unit of measure. If you think it is, tell me: How big, in inches, is a pixel? I might as well ask you "how high is up?"
If you tell a printing house that the trim size of your document is 600 by 1200 pixels, he will (and should) laugh at you.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
if I print the artboard on my laser printer I get the label with the background also, so how does the print house manage to
not have the background of the artboard when they print?
If you print the artboard on your laser printer, you do not "get the background." Think about it: Do you have any white toner in your laser printer? (Think inks, not colors.)
All the above is offered in a spirit of helpfulness (and some tongue-in-cheek jest). Take it as such. Bottom line, though--and this is not meant to be the least bit insulting--unless the company you have just contracted with is a small mom & pop shop and/or has very basic labeling projects, it really sounds as if you are already in well over your head. I am certainly not saying any of this is rocket science. It isn't. A dedicated person can learn its ins-and-outs in relatively short time if that time is well spent. But an online user forum is a very error-prone, incomplete, inefficient, and therefore poor way to learn it. It doesn't sound like you have that much time to waste.

How to combine XDCAM clips into one big file for import?
Hi, I'm not sure if this is a basic question or just not possible... I'm on location and have to rush edit. I've not worked with xdcam before. Usually I would import all of the media in low-res (one tape at a time), see what I want, then re-import that in high-res.
In xdcam, when I import, I import EVERY single shot as a separate file. I can set ins and outs and just import what I want, but this is laborious to open and close every shot to see if I want it, then mark ins and outs.
Isn't it somehow possible to import everything on the xcdcam disk as ONE single file as you would a "tape" so you can quickly screen it, see what you want, then go back to the individual clips on your xdcam disk and import those in high-res? This would be so much faster!
Many thanks for your help... am in a bind and in a rush!Ok thanks... that seems to work. It won't actually work for the way we're editing, but in theory had we synced up our workflow from the start...
Re. something new... well I hear what you're saying but I have changed formats several times, used 4 different nlediting platforms so far and not complained. This is the only one that seems much harder especially when you're working with different editors in different countries under tight time pressure.
The brief user guide that I read (and our tutorial instructor at work) told us to import all the little clips and said nothing of combining them... I'm not sure how people could actually work that way and manage dozens of disks' worth of individual shots as files. It would take years to cut an item... and usually we have about 45 minutes to an hour.
Cheers,

How to label proper PMS colours and separated files for screenprinting
hello,
I have to submit an Illustrator document to have a t-shirt screenprinted and the instructions ask that I "label the proper PMS colors that you expect the ink to be on the finished design." I don't know what this means, let alone how to do it. I've googled it and it seems to have something to do with Pantone colours., but I couldn't find how to do this. The design is all one colour, so I hope that helps me! Also, it asks for separated Illustrator files. I know this means separate it into layers, but I didn't design it in layers. If I submit it in eps format does it matter that it's all in one layer?
Could anyone please help me out with some details on this?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Mary...the instructions ask that I "label the proper PMS colors...I don't know what this means...
It's an example of self-proclaimed "experts" in the various print industries using inaccurate terminology which confuses their would-be customers, even when they are ostensibly trying to provide instruction.
PMS is abreviation for Pantone Matching System. Pantone is a company which produces inks for commercial offset printing, and which publishes color specifications and swatch books for those inks. Because it has long been the predominate player in that market since long before mainstream graphics computers, it has become used as a sort of defacto "standard" for conveying desired colors. But Pantone is not the only such system.
To my knowledge, Pantone doesn't even produce silkscreen inks (which are more like paint, really). When people throw around the "PMS" and "Pantone" words like this, they often reveal their own misunderstanding about what Pantone really is. In all likelyhood, the screen printer you are using thinks that Pantone Matching System is some kind of universal color standard. They will most likely look up the Pantone color number(s) you give them, then either look at a cross-reference or just manually mix their screen printing inks to obtain a match.
... I've googled it and it seems to have something to do with Pantone colours., but I couldn't find how to do this...
In most screen printing, your concern is to use spot colors in your design as opposed to process colors. Pantone produces color specs for more than just spot color inks. It produces inks and references for process color inks, metallic inks, and even flourescent inks. The various Pantone standards are represented in Illustrator as "Swatch Libraries," which are accessible via the Swatch palette's flyout menu.
You can define any color Swatch you use in Illustrator as a spot color. When you do so, all this means is that when the file is printed as color separations, each spot color is printed to its own separation plate. "Plate" is a throwback term which refers to the metal sheets on which reside the images for individual inks in commercial offset printing. In screen printing, a separate screen is built to carry the image for each ink used in the design.
You can also name any Spot Color Swatch you define, using any name you want. The name has no functional effect on the printed result. Each color separation plate is a black image, regardless. The actual color is determined by the actual ink that is loaded into the press (or silkscreen) when it is printed. This is why, when you work in a program like Illustrator for any project destined for print, you should think in terms of inks, not in terms of colors.
For example: You can define a Spot Color Swatch in Illustrator. It can be set to display any color you want. You wouldn't want to, of course, but for the sake of explanation, let's suppose you set the Spot Color Swatch to display in Illustrator as a green color. You then name that Swatch "Pantone 185", which is actually a red. If you now print the file as color-separations to a PostScript printer (or "print" it to a color-separated PDF), everything to which you have applied the Swatch named "Pantone 185" will print to a single sheet (or PDF page). That sheet will contain a black image, and will be labeled "Pantone 185".
In fact, when working with a local screen shop, I typically create spot color Swatches, and name them not according to Pantone (or any other) references, but to the names of the actual brand of screen inks that the screen shop will be using.
So really, your screen printer is just instructing you to build your design using a limited number of color Swatches, with each defined as a Spot Color. He is further implying that you should name your Spot Color Swatches according to color numbers used in the Pantone Matching System, just because that's the color-naming library most commonly familiar to designers.
The simplest way to do this is, for each ink you want to be printed on the T-shirt:
1. Go to the Swatches palette flyout menu.
2. Select Open Swatches Library>Color Books>Pantone Solid Coated (or Pantone Solid Uncoated; it doesn't really matter much for screen printing).
3. Browse through that list and select the color you want. It will be added to your document's Swatches list.
The design is all one colour, so I hope that helps me.
As someone else mentioned, because your design is all one color, you could simply design it using only black, and then tell the screen printer what color ink to use. But there are some caveats.
You would need to print the file as composite (normal, full color), not as separations. This is because if you merely use a Swatch that looks black on your screen, that "black" swatch may in fact be built up out of a combination of RGB or CMYK values (depending upon the color mode of your document). Printing as color-separations may not result in a solid black image on the black plate. The same goes for the advice to design using just one color. If you want the ink to be red, and you want to design using red, then the red Swatch needs to be defined as a spot color. Otherwise, printing that red as either separations or composite will not yield a solid black image.
Also, it asks for separated Illustrator files.
Again, imprecise language. There is no such thing as a "separated Illustrator file." Any Illustrator file can be printed (or saved as PDF) as color-separations. Again, what the printer should be specifying here is that you build your Illustrator file such that it can be printed as separations, with each separation corresponding to one ink that will be loaded into his silkscreens. In practice, this simply means be sure to use only spot color Swatches in your artwork.
Also again, this exemplifies the fact that just because a technician working in a particular print environment may be "expert" in his shop, does not mean he knows didly about software and workflows used on the design front-end.
For most commonplace local screen shops, the safest way to prepare an Illustrator file that leaves nothing to question is to:
1. Make sure you know how many different inks will be used to print the design. (Remember: Think inks; not "colors.")
2. Build your design using nothing but Spot Color Swatches, and only one Swatch for each ink. Don't use any process Swatches. In fact, best practice is to remove all Swatches not actually used in your design.
3. "Print" the Illustrator document, using Adobe PDF as the "printer." (I think you may have to have Adobe Acrobat installed in order to see the Adobe PDF as a printer selection. I'm not sure, because I'm never without Acrobat Professional.) In the Output pane of the print dialog, specify Separations, not Composite.
Doing this will result in a PDF which contains a separate page for each ink. The image on each page will be black. That's exactly what the screen printing shop needs to print to "film positives" (which nowadays are often translucent paper, not film) which he will in turn use as masks when "burning" his screens.
...I know this means separate it into layers, but I didn't design it in layers...
Don't confuse color-separation with Layers. They are completely independent functions. Layers is just a way to organize the objects you create in your file. Color separation is a print function. It occurs when you print to a device that understands color-separation (i.e.; a PostScript device), or when you export to a color-separated PDF, as described above.
This is a common misconception (miss-assumption) among beginners. If programs like Illustrator required you to design with each object that is colored with a particular separation ink to reside on a Layer dedicated to that particular ink, it would be absurdly debilitating. Again, Layers is just a "bracketing" of the stack of objects in your file. Those objects can be in any stacking order, and on any number of Layers. That has nothing to do with printing to color separations. (Stacking order does come into play when overprinting is involved, but even that still does not require Layers to correspond to separation inks.)
If I submit it in eps format does it matter that it's all in one layer?
EPS does not help you here. Think of EPS as nothing but a file format which puts the content of your Illustrator file into a "black box" so that it can be "passed through" to the printer by programs which don't really understand PostScript. If the content of your Illustrator file is built wrongly for the target printing method, so will be the content of the EPS. Nowadays, PDF is more versatile and easier to work with than EPS anyway.

How to define table specific QUERY in parameter file for Export Utility
Hi All
I am trying to create A SINGLE parameter file for export utility. I have 2 tables and want to use a different QUERY condition for each of these tables. However i do not want to create 2 seperate parameter files for this and run/script exp twice.
Is there a way to do it ?
NOTE: I am using normal export utility for Version 9 and NOT oracle data pump.
Following is an example of what i want to achive in parameter file:
Tables = (TabA,TabB)
# for table - TabA
QUERY = "where id =25"
#for table - TabB
QUERY = " where court_id=54 and id >1"
Please advice on syntax of parameter file so that exp knows that it has to process 1st condition for only TabA and second condition for TabB.
Any samples/syntax examples are greately appreciated.
thanks in advance!
cool techNo there is no such alternative. Query condition is applicable to all the tables listed in TABLES parameter.
