Differences between Preview and Acrobat Pdf for some files

Good morning,
My name is Roberto and I am from Venice (Italy).
I'm a new Mac user (I need to use windows for my work because the softwares are only made for win).
The problem (I think it is a problem of SL):
I upgraded my MBP17 and iMac24 to SL.
Last week I noticed that the file linked below showed a different color on the table background.
The original background is orange (if you open the file with acrobat reader) while it is grey when you use Preview.
Go to page 100 to see the differences.

Thanks.

Hi Seems a similar problem here too. Saving CMYK files in illustrator as pdf to mail to customers. A navy color in the file displays as grey in Preview Mail and Quicklook, but it prints correctly to our Xerox DC12 and opens fine in Acrobat with the same navy blue as viewed in illustrator CS4.
We tried making the colour a spot not process same problem.
We have tested this on an iMac with 10.6.1 with CS4 and a PowerMac with 10.6.1 with CS4. It seams to be in Snow Leopard only. The color displays on Leopard correctly in Preview, Mail and Quicklook.
Is any one else having Preview colors displaying wrong?

Difference between InDesign and Photoshop PDFs for printing?

Hi, rather new to the whole printing business, forgive me.
I have both InDesign and Photoshop, but I am better versed in Photoshop. Is there a significant difference between the capabilities for saving a PDF for print between the two? Also, would someone else be able to tell which program I made the PDF with?
Thanks in advance.

Like most operations, one tool or the other is more appropriate according to the makeup of the task. It's not just about which PDF is somehow "better," (there are many ways to produce PDF's, and the quality of output isn't necessarily directly dependent upon the originating application), but rather which tool is the correct one for the job.
For instance, a movie poster can certainly be done completely in Photoshop to good effect. But, if I was laying out the pages of a textbook, where images and longer passages of paragraph-based text were to be mixed, the typographical and document assembly capabilities of InDesign would be indispensible. That's just an example. The very essence of art and design is learning and devising ways to use the available tools alone and in combination to produce a particular result, effect, or solution.

OCR'd text varies between Preview and Acrobat. Pointers?

Does anyone have a pointer to understanding how hidden text from character recognition works in .pdf files?
I have a number of files on which I have run OCR using Acrobat 8. What I find is that for some files, the "hidden text" is only readable by Acrobat (Acrobat 8 or Acrobat Reader), and not by Preview.
There are two differences. (1) in multiple column layouts, Acrobat will select one column, while Preview will select across columns. (2) sometimes text selected in Preview has lots of spaces inside of words, and spaces missing at word-breaks, while Acrobat will get the word breaks correctly.
Obviously, one solution is to only use Acrobat to read the files, but I like Preview. Also, programs that rely on Mac OS's built-in pdf facilities, like Papers, suffer from the same limitations as Preview.
I want to understand this problem better. Any clues?
Thanks

Difference between -TlsDomain and -DomainSecureEnabled Parameters for Sendconnectors

Hi Exchange-Community,
I just came across with the different possibilties for securing mail flow between Partner companies.
I'm a little confused by the difference between -TlsDomain and -DomainSecureEnabled. All Whitepapers and tutorials for secured Partner communication refer only to the -DomainSecureEnabled Parameter. (With conjunction of Set-transportConfig -tlssenddomainsecurelist
etc. of course)
Can anybody enlight me when I have to use the -TlsDomain Parameter, and what it finally does?
Thanks for any response
Chris

Hi Chris,
The DomainSecureEnabled parameter is part of the process to enable mutual Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication for the domains serviced by this Send connector. Mutual TLS authentication functions correctly only when the following conditions
are met:
The value of the DomainSecureEnabled parameter must be $true.
The value of the DNSRoutingEnabled parameter must be $true.
The value of the IgnoreStartTLS parameter must be $false.
The TlsDomain parameter specifies the domain name that the Send connector uses to verify the FQDN of the target certificate when establishing a TLS secured connection.
This parameter is used only if the TlsAuthLevel parameter is set to DomainValidation.
A value for this parameter is required if:
The TLSAuthLevel parameter is set to DomainValidation.
The DNSRoutingEnabled parameter is set to $false (smart host Send connector).
For more information about them, please refer to Parameters in Set-SendConnector:

Difference between IE and acrobat in opening PDF

Hi, I have adobe acrobat 9 pro and if I open a PDF using acrobat, I have a bunch of toolbar functions like redaction, advanced editing and so on. However, if I open it using IE, which also uses acrobat, its toolbar provides limited functions. I only installed adobe acrobat version, and I uninstalled the acrobat reader 8.
Is it because that acrobat 9 provides the reader functions in IE acrobat activeX?
If so, is there any way to activate the functions in IE activeX?

Hi,
I have similar kind of situation and facing problem.
We have developed custom plugins which resides under Adobe/Acrobat/Plug_ins/<Directory>/MyPlugin.API. We have used Acrobat SDK to create this custom plug_in.
We have developed PDF viewer (using Acrobat SDK) which loads this plug_in and opens PDF file and this PDF Viewer we are using in our web site inside internet explorer.
We have web application which displays list of name of PDF documents like 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, 4.pdf.
Step (1) When user opens 1.pdf it will open PDF using our PDF viewer and custom plug in and working fine.
Step (2) Now if user opens another PDF (xyz.pdf) in other tab of internet explorer or in a different instance of a Internet Explorer it opens PDF but using IE PDF viewer ActiveX provided by Adobe under Program Files/Common Files/Acdobe/Acrobat/ActiveX/AcroPDF.dll.
Step (3) Now if user goes back to our web site and opens another pdf like 3.pdf our custom plug in in stop working. It's like it has never been loaded.
This only happens if user perform Step (2) using IE. If user does not do Step (2) or open PDF out side of Internet explorer using Adobe Acrobat it will not create any problem because out side of IE it will open PDF using Acrobat Standard.
My question is ,
Is Acrobat PDF viewer ActiveX for IE is doing something which is causing this issue? I came to this conclusion because this only happens when user does step (2).
Thanks,
twinkle

What's the difference between this and Acrobat 7.0 Pro?

I don't understand what the difference is between this product and Acrobat 7.0.5 Professional... I can view 3d enabled PDFs in 7.0.5 Pro.
Is this tool a superset of Acrobat 7 Pro that facilitates creation of this 3D content?

Actually, the Mac story is a bit more complicated than has been reported. The Acrobat 3D (authoring) product is currently available only on Windows. The new Adobe Reader 7.0.7, which contains the enhanced 3D viewing and collaboration features mentioned in the press releases, will be available simultaneously on Windows AND Mac. The Unix ports mentioned are only for capturing OpenGL streams from applications on Unix and creating PDFs from them, the entire functionality of Acrobat 3D is not currently available on Unix.
I cannot comment on if and when a Mac version of the authoring tool (Acrobat 3D) would be released. Content produced on Windows, however, will be viewable on the Mac and can be collaborated on on the Mac exactly as on Windows, using the Adobe Reader. A lot of work was done on the Mac to make this happen.
As far as OpenGL Capture, you can theoretically capture any output that displays using OpenGL on Windows or the Unix systems that Acrobat 3D supports. However, that said, we sometimes run into applications that do not capture properly. We tested with a number of important CAD applications so that we could make sure that capture worked from them, but we were, obviously, unable to test capture with all OpenGL applications. If you find one that does not work, please report it as a bug against the product.
Hope this helps.

What's the difference between redundancy and recovery window for retention?

Hello all,
I'm still trying to get a grip on this concept for RMAN backup planning.
I recently ran into a situation as follows.
I have the backups set to a redundancy of 1.
I have instance1, which had GRID jobs to run RMAN backups as follows
Incremental database level=0 weekly at Wed at 2:30am
I have daily backups, incremental level=1 each evening
I have archive log backups through the day.
What happened, was that apparently on a Tues some time, the development team deleted data from almost every table in their schema.
The didn't discover this till midday or so on Wednesday.
I went to try to restore...and RMAN couldn't do it. I had found a SCN for early the Tues they did it...but I got the following error:
RMAN> RUN
2> {
3> SET UNTIL SCN 4590383198282;
4> RESTORE DATABASE;
5> RECOVER DATABASE;
6> }

ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
From what research I did...it appears that since I did not have a level=0 incremental from before, it could not reset the database back in time. The previous one had been deleted since, I guess I had a redundancy of 1.
So, I thought I had a week backup they way I have it set..but that assumes that errors are found pretty quickly before the next level=0 backup.
I want at least 1 to 1.5 weeks worth of backups. I do have the problem that we do not have many tapes in rotation, so I cannot go for too long...may 2x weeks tops.
I'm trying to rethink my strategy, but I'm confused as I read as to the difference between setting RMAN retention with redundancy vs recovery window.
Can someone give me an explanation how you understand it? I'm reading on the web and in oracle books, and for some reason, it just isn't clear to me what is the best way to go....especially when I see that redundancy and recovery window might both be set??
Thank you in advance,
cayenne

Dear Cayenne
AFAIK RMAN doesn't claim that "you haven't enough backup". Please read the error you got carefully
ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATADG/instance1/datafile/system.284.697137287'
and check the following link:
ORA-01180: Cannot create datafile 1 when doing RMAN restore onto 2nd server
Moreover, could you please use LIST BACKUP command and see whether you have enough backups?
Read "Redundancy Based Backup Retention Policy" from the following link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/strategy003.htm#sthref139

Applescript: Packaging and exporting PDFs for multiple files -- need some tweaks

I found and tweaked a droplet script that isn't quite working right. I am hoping for some help with getting it to work the way I want. I tried and failed to learn to do this myself. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Here's an example: I drag two files called "filename.indd" and "filename2.indd" onto the droplet. The script I have right now will output the packages and PDFs into the following folder structure:
export folder
     filename folder
          filename.pdf
          filename folder
               filename.indd
               [Package contents]
     filename2 folder
          filename2.pdf
          filename2 folder
               filename2.indd
               [Package contents]
Here's the folder structure I need (using a dialog box or script that intelligently knows that the directory to save in is the same as the files I dragged on to the droplet would be amazing):
dialog box to choose new directory set to baseFolder
or
baseFolder <---- set to the current directory of the files I dragged onto the droplet
     filename folder
          filename.indd
          [Package contents]
          PDF folder             <--------new folder "PDF" created
               filename.pdf
     filename2 folder
          filename2.indd
          [Package contents]
          PDF folder             <--------new folder "PDF" created
               filename2.pdf
Here's a script I found and modified:
property baseFolder : (path to desktop as text) & "exports:"
on open mgItems
          repeat with mgThisItem in mgItems
                    tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign"
                              try
open mgThisItem
                                        set mgDocName to name of active document
                                        set text item delimiters of AppleScript to ".indd"
                                        set mgShortName to text item 1 of mgDocName
                                        set targetFolderPath to my createFolder(mgShortName)
                                        set text item delimiters of AppleScript to ""
                                        set mgPackageFilePath to targetFolderPath & mgShortName as string
                                        set mgProofFilePath to mgPackageFilePath & ".pdf" as string
                                        set properties of PDF export preferences to properties of PDF export preset "[Smallest File Size]"
                                        tell the active document to export format PDF type to mgProofFilePath without showing options
                                        tell the active document to package to mgPackageFilePath with copying fonts, ignore preflight errors, copying profiles, updating graphics, including hidden layers, copying linked graphics and creating report
close active document saving no
                              on error e
display dialog e
                              end try
                    end tell
          end repeat
          display dialog "PDFs created and InDesign file packaged"
end open
on createFolder(nameString)
          set macFolderPath to baseFolder & nameString
          do shell script "mkdir -p " & quoted form of POSIX path of macFolderPath
          return macFolderPath & ":"
end createFolder
Thanks very much!

Difference between Export and Adobe PDF presets..?

Hi,
It is possible to export a PDF from InDesign (CS3) using both the Export menu and the Adobe PDF Presets menu (both are sub-menus under File)
Technically they seem to do exactly the same thing, both allow you to use predefined presets to export your PDF.
What I am wondering is, are there any differences between the two? And if so, what are they?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

PDF Presets are what they are Presets. You may get a joboptions file from someone to use and use the PDF Presets to load the joboptions (pdf options) file into the Presets.
Then they become available in the Export Options.
Alternatively you can go into the PDF Presets and then choose to Save one of your presets to file, then email that or give the file to someone else to load onto their computer in their version of InDesign.
This way you can both have the same PDF export options.
But the presets are just a way to create, save, load and edit profiles that are available when you go to Export to PDF.

Difference between i5 and i7 cpu for photography and design purposes

I need to replace my old MBP and am not too familiar with tech specs concerning CPU and memory. I'm a photographer and use Adobe Lightroom and onOne Perfect Suite7. Working with images is my main goal. For video rendering and "heavy" stuff I have an iMac 27" i7. So a MacBook doesn't need to be a one in all solution.
I compared a MBA 13" all-in, with a MBP 15" and a MBP 13" Retina. All configured with 8GB Ram I get price offers which vary a lot between these three models. My question is there a significant difference between the different CPUs for photo editing and design purposes? I don't want to spend a heap of money since MBs are pricey enough.

Yes, on the big plus side of the non retina MBP is the possibility to tweak it a little by myself. I threw away the superdrives and replaced them with SSD drives for OSX and have second drives for all the data in my machines. CD and DVD is ancient storage technology anyway. Also did I upgrade RAM myself without paying Apple's ridiculous prices.
With the upgrade to the widescreen non glossy display, I think I will be set up properly. However, I will checkout those retina displays tomorrow, just to really know it.
But one question remains: Which CPU might be sufficient in the long run? I tend towards the 2,6GHz with 1GB RAM GPU
2,3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512 MB GDDR5 RAM
2,6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1 GB GDDR5 RAM [+ 200,00 €]
2,7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1 GB GDDR5 RAM [+ 450,00 €]

Difference between 1333 and 1600 mhz for 16Go RAM

Is there a big difference between a 1333 and 1600 mhz 16Go RAM and does my macbook pro 13" (2,9GHz intel core i7 - actually on 8Go RAM - 2011) support those?
Is this one ok for my mac? : http://www.amazon.fr/memory-upgrades-1333Mhz-MacbookPros-laptops/dp/B006FW8RCU/r ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1382738058&sr=8-2&keywords=Mémoire+16+Go+%282+x+8+Go%29+SO DIMM+1333+MHz+DDR3+PC3-10600

Why are there print differences between Reader and Acrobat Pro

I have a PDF file generated by InDesign (CS3). When I print the PDF from Reader (8.1.4) I get lighter text than when the same file is printed by Acrobat Pro (9.1.0). A close examination of the printed letters shows that the text printed from Reader is not solid black, while the text from Pro is solid black.
Is this typical or is there something I need to do to improve the printing from Reader?

I am a CADD Coord. (CADD Mgr)designer) I used to do a lot of design. Just recently we have noticed that anything printed from Adobe, the reader or the full version, is printing so lightly in many cases that it looks like it is missing data. whenever we create teh PDF from Autodesk products or Bluebeam Revue, it is the same. Bluebeam prints perfect. Yet the exact same file printed through Adobe is very, very light. Even printing as image it does this. And it appears at random. Some people print ok, but the exact same printer sent by someone else, using the same method, comes out too light in Adobe.
I have contacted Autodesk and they have punted it back. Anyone have any answers or clues to fix? i send out deliverables for clients all the time and I hate to find out they print and miss something of the design.

Difference between "answerObfuscated " and " true " value for secret proper

Hi Everyone,
I have a doubt what would be the difference for the property " secret " in the form field .
Can some one explain the difference for the bellow code
<Property name='secret'>
<ref>waveset.questions[$(name)].answerObfuscated</ref>
</Property>
and
<Property name='secret' value='true'>
I have read in the docs that if the value for the obfuscated is set to "true " in the systemconfiguration file then it would display all the password fields and authenticated question answers as asterisk .
<Attribute name='obfuscateAnswers'>
<Boolean>true</Boolean>
</Attribute>
My question here is that if we have the above one is system configuration field as true and in the forms as answersobfuscated as a value then it shows as asterick if we have false in the system configuration file then in the form secret would be false then it will show the filed the regular text is that right ?

That's a good question. My understanding:
answerObfuscated is an actual property of the answer, so can be used to control the display of answers anywhere.
secret is a property of a web field, and can be put on any web field on any web form.
So in the first example you give, the field is obfuscated only if the user's answer is tagged as being obfuscated. This would be used mostly to conditionally allow viewing of questions. (E.g., should an admin be able to read the plain text answer on a user's account?)
And yes, you would use this so that the system config controls the display rather than having to hard code it on every page that displays answers.
