Dreamweaver's CS4 & CS5 Database etc cababilities needed Dedicated or Virtual-Dedicated Server Hosting to work, NOT shared hosing environments?

It's not clear what you mean by this. However, I think you might be referring to the security restriction imposed by most hosting companies that prevents connection to MySQL from another server. This is quite normal, and has no effect on the way Dreamweaver connects to the database.
When you upload your files, they connect to the database locally on the host's server. Also, if you are using your remote server as a testing server for your site (not recommended), Dreamweaver uploads a hidden file to the remote server to connect locally with MySQL, thereby getting round the problem of connecting from an external source.
By the way, please don't change the subject line of posts in a thread. It makes it difficult to follow a conversation through email.

How can you tell what version of Illustrator (Ver. 10, CS4, CS5, CC Ver.17, etc.) saved artwork is in?

Our company needs to save artwork we create in Illustrator in different versions depending on our various client's needs. Is there anyway to know what version of Illustrator (Version 10, CS4, CS5, CC Version17, etc.) saved artwork is in? When we view preferences it just shows the current version of the application not the version the individual artwork is saved at. Any advise would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

Adobe software is conflictive when you use Migration Assistant because their applications don't work properly after migration. If you keep the DVDs or the installers of your software, use them to reinstall all your Adobe applications and they should start working correctly

Need help getting dreamweaver to recognize my database file

For a couple of years I have maintained a website that lists available apartments for a rental company. I want to create a search function to help potential tenants find an apartment more efficiently on the website. All the data (about 20 columns per apartment) for around 500 apartments is on a microsoft access .accdb file, database.accdb. I am following the adobe forum page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/ultradev/building/multiple_param_search/multiple_param_search 03.html
The page tells me to go to the Bindings page and click the + sign, then select Recordset. However, Recordset is not an option given to me. I am confused as to how to get Recordset to appear. Here are some technicals:
The site folder currently contains 3 files. #1 is database.accdb, the microsoft access database. #2 is getresults.jsp, which is the page I am trying to do the recordset on. #3 is searchpage.html, which contains a single search parameter with a submit button. The site is set up as a testing server.
I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5. Thank you in advance for your help

>#2 is getresults.jsp, which is the page I am trying to do the recordset on.
1) JSP's are no longer supported in Dreamweaver
2) Access 2007 database was never supported in Dreamweaver
3) As far as I know JSP/Access was never a supported server model in DW.
So you are either going to have to pick a supported server model, or learn how to write code. I already mentioned most of this yesterday in your previous post.

Using Photoshop CS4/CS5 and Lightroom 2/3 on Win 7 vs OSX

I do NOT want to re-ignite the no-win discussion of pc vs mac. Now that CS5 is announced, yet again as I preprare to upgrade from CS4, I ask if I should convert fromWin7 64-bit on a PC to MAC Pro running OSX. I currently run a WIN 7 64-bit PC with 8 GB Ram. I would consider buying a MAC PRO with 8 GB RAM. The machine(s) are used strictly for image processing, no general office work or general internet surfing except as relates to supporting my software, etc.
I don't want to discuss PC vs MaC but I would like to understand the limits, advantages/disadvantages of one platform vs the other as specifically relates to CS4/CS5 and/or Lightroom 2/3. In other words are there functions or processes that I can do on one platform and not the other, or do better on one compared to the other, not does one cost more than the other any comments or help?? Mike

As a casual user of CS products, I find no substantive differences between using them on a Mac vs. PC. I can cross post this question over to the Photoshop forum (originally posted to the Photoshop.com web site forum, which is not just about the desktop app).
It's probably going to become a Mac vs. PC discussion, since the question is inherently 'which is better', but hopefully people will remain objective and constructive!

Form created with Livecycle Designer with a SQL database - do you need LiveCycle Forms installed?

Hello,
I'm REALLY hoping someone here can help me, I have spent over four hours on the phone to Adobe in the last 3 days and I'm getting no where what-so-ever. I can't even find out where /how to complain about it! (but thats another story)
Here's my situtation:
I work for a company with approx 140 staff. On one computer, we have Adobe Livecycle Designer ES installed, and we have used that program to create a form which has a link to a SQL database.
The link in this form doesn't work on the other computers which has the basic (free) Adobe Reader. From doing research within these forums
, I have found that the form will not work on other computers unless they have Adobe Livecycle forms installed on their machines.
What I need to know (and what they cannot seem to tell me when I call), is two things:
Is it correct that in order to use a form created in Livecycle Designer which has a link to a SQL database, that the machine must have LiveCycle forms installed?
How much does Adobe LiveCycle Forms costs?
PLEASE, if you can answer this question, I would REALLY appriciate it....
Thank you!

I presume you are asking if you need Livecycle Forms ES? Forms ES is a component of the livecycle software suite intended as a document service which will be installed on a server within the organisation. A couple of things this document service can do is to render XDP into multiple formats (PDF, html, etc.), execute script server side (for example the database connection) on behalf of the client (reader, etc.), integrate with backend components, etc. So no you do not install this on each client.
For database connections to work, you either have a server with Forms ES installed which can connect on each clients behalf (ie. Client->Forms ES Server->Database), or you have a reader-extended PDF to allow connections to be use in the free basic Reader (i.e. direct calls to the database or using web service calls to your own database components). However, reader-extended pdf would probably require Reader Extensions ES component installed on a server (you once off extend your developed pdf through this and then hand it out to each of the end users). Not sure if the Acrobat Reader extensions will cover this functionality since I have not tried that. I dont think it does. Otherwise you would need full acrobat on each client.
How much database integration is your form actually doing at the moment? read only? Full access? And how many clients do you expect to hit your database? Depending on what you need the form to do, there is always the option to try and build the integration yourself. Do simple http submits from the browser (hosting reader as a plugin) to some component somewhere which in turn hits your database. Wouldnt require additional licensing but alot more development work.
As for cost for the various components, thats a question only Adobe can answer for you since they all sit squarely in the enterprise space and licensing for that is not as simple as off the shelf products.
Maybe someone else has a view on it or has an alternative.

Before I install CS4 (design standard) do I need to manually or otherwise remove CS1 (the original Creative Suite)?

Before I install CS4 (design standard) do I need to manually or otherwise remove CS1 (the original Creative Suite)?
I am using an iMac OS 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB, 800 MHz. AllI know is that you can't upgrade from CS1.
I am in the misdt of several production projects and can't afford a mistake or down time. Thanks for any and all help.
P.S. Is Snow Leopard compatiable with CS4?
Thanks, Compositor Rick

You can upgrade from CS1 to CS4. CS1 will be out of the upgrade path when CS5 is released.
You don't need to remove CS1 it does not conflict with CS4. I have CS1 through CS4 installed and playing nicely together.
CS4 is compatible but I would stay with 10.5.8 until Apple gets most of the bugs worked out of Snow Leopard. that is usually about the 4th update.

Photoshop CS4 & CS5: Fullscreen + Taskbar ?

Hi all!
Does anyone find a solution for the bug (for me it is) in Photoshop CS4 & CS5 - in Fullscreen mode the taskbar is no visible (MS Windows)?
In case someone from Adobe read this - COM'ON PEOPLE!!! IS NOT SO HARD TO FIX THIS!!! ADD A SIMPLE CHECK BOX IN OPTIONS, FOR USERS THAT NEEEEEED THEIR TASKBAR IN FULLSCREEN! how many complains do you need to fix this!?? Think again... a lot of people are stuck to CS3 just for this problem!
Best Regards,
Angry CS3 user, dreaming for CS4 & CS5 Photoshop
PS: @ admins -> please, move this to Photoshop -> Windows! It'll be more correct!

Gee, thanks a pantload, Dr Misfit, assuming you're talking about my suggestion to use Photoshop in a Restored window (i.e., in a window not occupying the full screen).
Oh, and you're also welcome for the link I provided to a tool that forces the Windows 7 Taskbar to be on top.
The *only* downside to using Photoshop in Restored view that's been identified, and I agree that it's not pleasant, is that in Restored view and using Tabs you're prevented from panning an image around to where you want it if it fits entirely within the window. So instead of working in the center of your screen you might have to work offset toward the corner. Aw. Now THAT's what I call a Big Deal compared to missing those all important Skype calls from your girlfriend.
I'm not against you working the way you want - it'd be just peachy if it worked just the way you like - but I'm here to tell you it's really, really not going to get changed in the current version just for you and the other three people on the planet who are for some reason jumping up and down about it. Adobe ain't Burger King. But someone who actually DID know something about Adobe and Photoshop would already know that.
You want to see the Taskbar now, work in Restored view. Simple as that. Get over it.
And have a little more respect for the people who try to help you for no reward other than the satisfaction of having helped someone.

nope... this is a known issue for users. Hopefully will be resolved soon (not holding my breath though). Some people have suggested resetting pram, uninstalling flash, quitting Safari, updating java, installing third party mouse driver software etc... but for me nothing has worked yet.
I have 2 monitors and this happens quite a lot, but ONLY on my iMac monitor. If i move the mouse cursor to my second screen it's visible there, move it back to my iMac screen and it disappears.
My workaround is to hover over the dock to claim my cursor back, but that is really just an annoying thing to do every 5 mins.
I am convinced this is a OSX issue but the two companies are just pointing fingers which will not result in any fix any time soon.
Thinking about selling my two Apple machines because of this bug.

Warning CS4 CS5 and CS6 Photoshop Action Users

Adobe introduce the Adjustment Panel in CS4 and included two option that you should NEVER CHANGE from their default setting. For if either or both are change from their default settings some actions that add adjustment layers will fail to work properly. They may or may not produce error pop-ups.
I have been trying to get this fixed for a couple of years now. The other day I received an e-mail from an Adobe programmer informing me that he had been assigned the task to fix the problems I've been having. He included information he was considering. It was clear he did not fully understand the problems and that keeping one of the options would make it impossible to maintain compatibility with previous versions of Photoshop. I wrote two e-mails explaining the problems and a third detailing what the problems I saw with what was proposing. He wrote back the all he wanted to do was to work on part of the problem not the whole problem. I wrote a fourth note but Adobe is back is stealth mode.
The two options in the Adjustment Panel fly-out menu are:
"Add Layer Mask by Default" checked by default. This is how Photoshop always worked prior to CS4 there was never an option not to add one so nothing was ever recorded whether or not a layer mask was to be added they always were. Changing this will make Photoshop not backward compatible.
"Clip to Layer" not checked by default. There has always been an option to clip adjustment layers to the previous layer. So when the option is used the action recorder records the option "With Clipping Mask" in the make adjustment layer step. When the Adjustment Layer is not clipped the option "with Clipping Mask" is not recorded. In the past these recordings played back correctly and still do if the Adjustment Panel fly-out option "Clip to Layer" is not checked. However if Adjustment Panel option is checked even though is was nit when the action was recorded for the option "With Clipping Mas" is not recorded Photoshop clips the layer because of the Adjustment Panel current Option setting. That could be fixed. The current option setting has no meaning in this context in fact the Adjustment panel may not have even been used to recode the Make Adjustment Layer step.
Here is a link to a simple action recorded in CS6. It opens a new default size document add an Levels Adjustment Layer deletes the layer mask and then clips the adjustment layer to the previous layer. The Action will play correctly in all versions of Photoshop prior to cs4. It will fail in CS4, CS5 and CS6 if either or both of the Adjustments Panel fly-out options are changed from their default setting. http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/CS6AdjLayer.atn

Generally, you would have got the option to remove the old versions. However, you can uninstall the old versions but you should do it from Windows Add/Remove modules in the Control Panel so that it doesn't remove the common files from your machine.
If you are not constrained by disk space then the best thing is to leave the old programs on the system until you are familiar with the new features of the upgraded program.
I have renmoved the old programs from my Windows 7 because I wasn't using them. These days I use "Corel Paintshop Pro X5" and "Corel Draw Graphics Suite X6".
Photoshop is for something I need to test for my colleagues who are not familiar with certain features in Corel so I tell them how to do it in PS CS6.
Hope this helps.

Premiere Pro & Encore Errors - CS4 / CS5 Side-By-Side Install

Hello, all.
I am trying to use CS Production Premium CS4 and CS5 together on the same machine. I have been getting some really crazy errors and happenings lately on Premiere Pro (CS4) and Encore (both CS4 & CS5). In another forum in Creative Cow, someone mentioned that CS4 and CS5 should not live on the same partition, and that may be causing my problems. You can view that thread here: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/908105.
The long and short:
I have had CS4 installed for a while on my machine (see specs in the signature line), and installed CS5 alongside using all the default install values.
Taking the troubled applications one at a time, here are some errors I am encountering:
PREMIERE PRO CS4
Upon launch, the following message appears:
This is what prompted someone to note that CS4 & CS5 should not live on the same partition. I HAVE SINCE UNINSTALLED CS5 and the error still persists.
ENCORE CS4
Upon launch, it automatcially crashes and the Windows error messages pop up:
I HAVE SINCE UNINSTALLED CS5 and the error still persists.
ENCORE CS5:
Shorter DVDs with simple timelines seem to transcode and burn just fine. However, with longer timelines or more complex projects, it returns the following errors:
A detailed view of the error message is below:
I have not been able to test this after the uninstall of CS5, but I can only assume that it still has this issue.
As far as I can tell, Premiere Pro CS5 works just fine.
In addition to the previous errors, After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5 also have trouble rendering to networked locations (i.e.--mapped drives). The renders fail immediately with "unknown errors". I am not sure if this has something to do with the side-by-side configuration or not, but it is another issue that has been problematic. The CS4 versions can render to any location with no problems.
Any guidance on how to get CS4 and CS5 to coexist will be greatly appreciated! I do need both versions for various reasons, so getting rid of one is not an option (and as the uninstall of CS5 has proven, not effective).
Thank you!

You can certainly run CS4 and CS5 applications on the same computer, from the same partition, and even at the same time. Problems do ari
se if you install CS4 after CS5, but installing CS5 after CS4 should work fine. Every one of my computers has CS4 and CS5 on them (and some have CS3).

Mac: OS X Lion(10.7) CS4/CS5/CS5.5

Hi all,
I have currently a plugin that I build it on my Mac with OSX 10.6(Snow Leopard) and I can build it for 3 versions of CS including: CS4/CS5/CS5.5. Now I have to cach up with some of other Mac development stuff and need to upgrade to Lion and Xcode 4.1, Any idea/ thoughts on this case to be able to keep my old stuff (specially CS4) still compileable? I know I can have different version of Xcode on the same partition but not sure with pgrading to Lion what would be the restriction/losing with my situation?
Thanks,
Kamran

Well, having some of your files written in big endian doesn't mean you can't read or write them with a program written in little endian.
David, that was not what I implied. But if they rewrite it for Intel, they have to take very good care to swap to/from native to file endianess for every value they write (much like htonl() et. al are used in network programming). By releasing just a PPC binary, there was no need for conversion because native and file endianess happened to be identical.
Adobe should develop a universal binary version of their CS4 odfrc-cmd, the little endian part doing the swap to keep things in big endian.
I full heartedly agree. And I suggest everyone in need of this reports this issue to Adobe dev support. I'm not sure how much detail I'm at liberty to reveal on a public forum, but my report did not come to them as a surprise, and a little community pressure may help speed things up.
Is there somewhere a description of what's in those files? Perhaps it is not so complicated to develop a little endian version of that tool...
Not really. As Dirk suggested, it's basically Rez on steroids. Regrettably one has to parse the file down to every single int value that's defined in all of the many structures, and byte-swap just those. After that you have to put it all back together. It would be a huge pain, but not impossible.

JSFL - Commands working in CS3, not in CS4 / CS5 (library.selectItem / library.expandFolder)

Hi there,
I have a script that works perfectly fine in CS3, but does not work in CS4 and CS5.
This script is called "selectInLibrary".
You guessed it, what it does is select/highlight in library the symbols selected on the stage.
My issues are with the "library.selectItem" and "library.expandFolder" methods. They are simply not working in CS4 / CS5.
If anyone can help me with this, it would be awesome.
Code goes as follow:
function selectInLibrary(){}
var _proto_ = selectInLibrary.prototype;
_proto_.aAlreadyDone = new Array();
_proto_.DOM = fl.getDocumentDOM();
_proto_.oXMLUI;
_proto_.Init = function(){
          fl.trace("==== selectInLibrary v2.0 (for CS4) ====")
     var _aSelection;
     if (this.DOM == undefined){
          alert ("You need to open a Flash File First!");
     }else{
          this.CheckSelection();
_proto_.CheckSelection = function(){
     //     Make sure at least 1 stage element is selected
     if(this.DOM.selection.length <= 0){
          alert ("You need to Select a elements on the Stage");
     }else{
          //     Clear library selection
          this.DOM.library.selectNone();
          //     Loops through selected stage items...
          for(var i = 0; i < this.DOM.selection.length; i++){
               //     ...if selected elementType is "instance"...
               if(this.DOM.selection[i].elementType == "instance"){
                    fl.trace("Element " + this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name + " already processed? " + this.ElementExist(this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name));
                    //     ...if selected element has not been processed...
                    if(this.ElementExist(this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name) == false){
                         fl.trace("Processing: " + this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem.name);
                         //     ...adds selected element to array aAlreadyDone.
                         this.aAlreadyDone.push(this.DOM.selection[i].libraryItem);

CS3 to CS4/CS5-- Book TOC crashes but not in chapters

Hi, i'm having a conversion problem again,
i'm working within a book (like always) and i have a main TOC, that regroups styles from all the documents, in CS3 i had no problem with it, but in CS4/CS5 it makes ID crash and i have no idea why. the thing that is even more strange is that every document inside the book has its own TOC (with more styles) included, and they do not crash my InDesign. It seems to be only the one that "reads" the styles across the book that do so.
Anybody has an idea why?
i get this error message :
Thanks in advance!
Message was edited by: korinsama

edit that needed a bump :
since my TOC in for the book differs from the TOC in each chapter, i tried importing the one from the chapters (the one that technically doesn't crash)
... but once in the book TOC when i check 'include book documents" ... well... it crashed... so i'm guessing it's not the TOC styles that have a problem but the fact that i'm trying to apply it to the whole book ..... which... is really problematic...
retested the original TOC, just unchecked the "include book documents" and it didn't crash..... i wish there was a detailed crash log so i could understand what's going on... it's kind of ridiculous that i can generate a single document TOC but not the exact same one applied to a book....
soooo the good news is, i can generate each chapter individually and copy/paste into the main TOC, which is good since in earlier version of INDD, copy/pasting TOC made it crash.. and it doesn't anymore

Using files from dreamweaver 8 in CS5 - not working

Hi All
I made 2 websites a few years ago in Dreamweaver 8. We now have windows 7 at work so we are trialling CS5.
Basically, i open up our web files (which were made in Dreamweaver 8) in CS5 and the site ios not being very friendly at all. It is almost like it doesn't recognise the codes and formats properly.
And to change one line of text - i select and change colour - it changes the whole 3 paragraphs.
Is Dreamweaver 8 files compatible with CS5.
Need help
one website is www.progressivegroup.com.au
in the old version i could simply make changes with out any bit of hassel, in the new one i can barely do anything with out it going crazy on me!!
Thanks

Thank you for your help.
Are the code errors from Dreamweaver 8?
I am not the best with this sort of thing.
How do i fix the errors so i can use the web siles in CS5?
also, how do i validate the code?
Thanks again
