Editable template for client?

Is there such a thing as to build a template in Illustrator so that the client can change the text on it? Kind of like a Content Management System on a Website?
If so, what would the client be able to use to edit in? Of course, the client would like little to no expense.
Thanks in advance!

Is there such a thing as to build a template in Illustrator...
It's done all the time using Illustrator (or most any other graphics program that can export to PDF) in combination with Acrobat.
1. Draw the artwork in Illustrator (or whatever). Everything except the text that needs to be editable by the end user.
2. Export to PDF.
3. Open in Acrobat Pro.
4. Add text fields.
5. Enable the PDF for Reader Extensions.
The recipient can now simply open the PDF in Reader, edit the text in the fields, and save a copy of the PDF with the edits intact.

How to edit template for report generator in stimulus profile editor in Veristand 2011?

How to edit template for report generator in stimulus profile editor in veristand 2011?
We are using Veristand 2011.When we run any sequence in stimulus profle editor,we get test results in form of ATML file.
We want to customise the template for this test result generation as per our requirement.
For example:
Test case No.: Description of test case.
Objectives: Explanation of objectives.
Result: Passed/ Failed.
Graph: If any.
Please suggest how to do this.

You cant really change too much in the report, you can customize TRML.xsl which is created every time in the Test Results\UUT 1 folder and that would give you some flexibility on what is shown. I dont know what a xsl is actually able to do in terms of composing data from multiple files (if at all possible) but it definitely allows you to change the visual format of the existing xml data.
Otherwise I modified the xsl to customize the look of the xml report when opened in a browser to have less clutter and some coloring on the Pass/Fail but, the reports are XML files anyway so it's easy to extract data out of them and you can probably write your own report creation tool to compose the report in whatever format you like.

Can I use an alternate Edit template for a WebApp?

Can I use an alternate (backup) Edit template for a WebApp?

Nope! If it is absolutely essential that you have different editable bits of the web app, then you might want to consider splitting your web app into different apps and linking them together with data source.

Can I use Acrobat to create an editable PDF for client's bids?

Hey all,
I recently created a website for a client who sends out hundreds of bids a year in the form of a PDF. They are interested in designing an editable template and I'm at a loss.
Certain areas need to be changed for each bid (bids are around 100 pages each with details about each project). Do any of you know if there is a way to set up a PDF template that can be edited - with pages being added and removed - like a word document?
Will they need a copy of Acrobat, or can I create an editable, stand-alone document that can be saved and resaved as needed?
Otherwise the only thing I can think to do would be to create a nice template and force it into a Word doc as best as I can so he can make changes for each different bid...
I would really appreciate some guidance on this one. I'm not sure how to proceed.
Thanks!

While Acrobat can do minor touchups (correcting a typo, shifting the position of something on a page, etc.) it cannot perform major rework and doesn't understand the idea of document-level reflow.
PDF files are not designed to be editable like a word processor document. It's an end-destination format; you make changes in the original application and re-export a new PDF.

Adobe InDesign editing options for client?

I have a client who wants to be able to create their own in-house documents, mostly postcards, flyers, etc. I can design and build them in InDesign, but is there an easy, inexpensive solution for them to be able to use that as a template, instead of purchasing a full version of Adobe InDesign? Currently they're using Publisher, and since I'm on a Mac, I can't create templates for them to use. InCopy sounds interesting, but the documentation on the Adobe site is so marketing driven that it's tough to tell what InCopy can actually do.

You would think that Adobe would develop a product like "InDesign Lite" that would let clients do some basic editing without the full features of InDesign, like having editable regions similar to Dreamweaver.
They do but unfortunately it costs the same as InDesign and has the same name too!
Seriously though you can design something up nice and then port it over to Word or Publisher so they can edit have a look at this here and think laterally. Yes they will pay more for you to do that than if they had and could use InDesign, No it is not OK for them to whine about that.

Create text editable PDF for client to edit in Adobe Reader

I would like to create a PDF from either Illustrator or InDesign so that my client can edit just the text in the document using Adobe Reader as necessary (for flyers and business cards etc). I want to set the file up in Illustrator or InDesign so all text is laid out properly where I have the proper tools to do so, rather than using the Acrobat form tool and guessing measurement/layout etc. I have tried exporting to PDF from both programs and then using Acrobat Pro's form feature but it won't recognise any of the fields. I am using CS4 and Acrobat Pro 9 and am unsure if my software is too old to complete these tasks or if I am doing it incorrectly. I have seen it done in plenty of places so I know it is possible, I'm just not sure how.
Here are some links showing examples of what I am trying to do:
Using an e.m.papers Wedding Invitation Template.mp4 - YouTube
How to use an e.m.papers printable RSVP template.mp4 - YouTube
So, basically any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated:
How do I make text editable in Adobe Reader (from an Illustrator or InDesign file)?
How can I easily put the same design onto the same page (eg 8 business cards on an A4 page with crop marks) multiple times so that if I need to change the design slightly, it will change the design on all of them?
How can I make the PDF like it is in the YouTube videos, so that when you edit one "product/design", it will edit all on the page?
Or, how can I create a file of multiple business cards on the one page where they can have a different employees details on each card?
This is my first time using this forum so if you require any further information, please let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Issue editing template for website

So, I am new to Dreamweaver and constantly baffled about finding solutions to problems on my own.
My issue is this. I have been assigned the duty of updating and modifying our company's webpage. I had nothing to do with the creation of this page, so I am working with someone else's work.
http://www.csus.edu/isr/index.html this is what I'm working on.
My problem had been editing this template that is used on all the other pages. I have a spry menu bar that has all of our menu options. I found a way to add a bar to that, at my company's request. The other edit I made to the page was adding buttons for facebook and twitter. I have updated the file on a local copy, saved it once seeing it worked well in the preview browser, and then replaced the file on the remote server. The template does not change at all. None of my changes are applied whatsoever.
Any idea why this is happening? I have no clue at this point. I have tried everything I could think of.
Do you think it has anything to do with editable regions, or what??? I have no clue
I would appreciate any response at all. Thank You.

Templates don't do anything at the server level. They are a local site management tool in Dreamweaver only.
Update Template.dwt file and save.
When prompted, populate changes to all child pages based on that template.
Upload child pages to your server.
Repeat this each time you edit the Template.

How to edit template for report broadcast

Hi,
my client publish the report thru information broadcast in PDF.
The report show the dynamic selection and variable selection information at the top of the report content and they want to remove it as it consume half page for this.
How can go to the report template they are using ? I see it has the company logo on page header so i guess it was already modified somewhere but I don't find this in SPRO...the fields there is blank.

Hi Panadda,
Regretfully, you are correct that they have probably created a copy of one of the standard WAD templates that control the PDF print out - if it was a standard template you could go into the WAD and just do a search on anything starting with 0* and you would see something like QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING70 - or one similar.
but what you will need to do now is find that template that is being used - it may be that they altered the standard 0 template - go review that first. If you find that template you will see that it will have some web items that you can change or adjust - this is where you will be able to alter the format.
either remove or filter those web items that you need changed on the PDF file print out.
Thanks, Pete

PI Demo Examples problems with executing CTC template for client setup

Dear SAP community,
I use PI 7.30 SP 4 and get the following exception if I use the CTC template to set up the PI demo examples in client 105
and 106
Web Services Configuration
Description
Exception in step "SRT_TECHNICAL_SETUP"
Exception details : java.lang.Exception: BAPIRET2 SRT_ADMIN 050 Could not create service destination
State
Step was skipped
In client 107, the template works after I delete the SAP_WSRT user. In clients 105 and 106, this leads to the exception above,
If the SAP_WSRT user exists, I get the exception that this user alreadz exists if I run the template.
What should I do to fix this problem and properly implement the template on all clients?
PS: I use admin users with SAP_ALL rights. Maybe I use the wrong master password, because I use the one of my SAP_ALL user. This works at least for using the template within client107.
Andreas

Hi Mark,
in my case the workaround of deleting the service user works only in Client 107.
The additional problem with a missing service destination occurs already after deleting the service user in Clients 105 and 106. Will this additional problem also be treated in the new note?
Joerg-Joachim Klossika already added the workaround to this note for the existing service user I proposed to him.
I still cannot resolve the problem with the missing service destination.
regards
Andreas

Editing Websites for clients after completion

Say I built a website for a client but it needs to be updated with content occasionally. Since I am the one who built the website with muse, on my computer, would I be the only one with the ability to edit it? Say the client hired a new web developer/designer to work on the website, where would he be able to edit the site other than muse?

If they don't have Muse but need minor text updates they can use In Browser Editing features. Alternatively, they do not have to have Muse but once it is edited outside of Muse it will no longer be able to be brought back into Muse.

White label In-browser editing tool for client facing "CMS" functionality.

Muse should offer white-labeling functionality for designers who are using the tool.

Please see (and participate) in Adobe branding on Muse's in-browser editing page and/orWhy do the words 'Adobe Muse' appear on the InBrowserEditing site? Can I White Label? Thanks.

Non-Dreamweaver templates for Contribute

Are there any guidelines anywhere for creating the equivalent
of Contribute editable/non-editable templates for sections of HTML
pages which were not created by Dreamweaver; for example,
guidelines on the use of  etc.?

Ian,
The Dreamweaver template system works from the standpoint of
a "deny all, allow some" mentality.
Initially a Dreamweaver template file allows no editing to
any sections. When modifying the template in Dreamweaver or any
other text editor, the addition of the begin/end editable pairs
enables the editing of any content existing within the tag pair.
If you want to create a template for use with Contribute
outside of Dreamweaver just create the file with any editable
sections you desire then change the file extension to .dwt and
place it in the "Templates" directory on your CPS managed
webserver. Any files in the "Templates" directory that end with
".dwt" will be loaded on the next startup of the Contribute client.
By default the Publisher and Writer roles allow access to all
templates in the "Templates" directory via the Contribute client.
Also, make sure that the "whatever" text mentioned by Murray
is unique to each individual editable region.
Please note that the Contribute/Dreamweaver template
interaction is *not* a run-time template system. Dreamweaver
templates are design-time templates. If you have sections of the
template that change later then those changes will need to be
applied on a page-by-page basis to each page using a given
template. This functionality is automatically handled within the
Macromedia workflow by using Dreamweaver to download the entire
site then having it update all pages that are based on a given
template.
The piece of the code that denotes which template is assigned
to a given page is as follows:

with an acompanying closing tag of:

The "InstanceBegin" tag should follow the opening html tag
and the "InstanceEnd" tag should precede the closing html tag.
The important piece of the "InstanceBegin" tag is the value
of the "template" attribute. This needs to be the path to the
specific template file relative to the webroot on the server.
Hope this helps.

HELP! I've created a template for event badges and have been instructed by the client to insert the (200 ) names and relevant companies into it...Is there a script that can do this in illustrator? Should I be using Indesign?

An events client I'm working for have asked me to create a template for badges. Rather than ask the printers to insert the names and companies of the individuals present at the event though, they want me to create all of the pdf files for (200+) people!
I have an excel sheet of the people that will be present. My question is: is there a way to automate this? to define editable areas in a template and run some sort of batch processing script?
Thanks!

This would be a perfect job for Data Merge in InDesign. You can place your AI design into InDesign (minus the text fields), and then easily create a merge.

HT202879 I would like to have a spreadsheet editing software for my new Template Numbers Pro but my operating system is 10.7. Are there other editing software programs (less the 10.9) that can work with this app?

Hi,
I am looking for some editing software for my new Template Numbers Pro. Numbers is 10.9, my computer is only 10.7. What do you suggest?
Thanks,
Billieoh

If it's the "Templates for Numbers Pro" on the Mac App Store then you need OSX 10.7 or later. You'll need iWork '09 or later.
It looks as if you want to use the iOS version of the same templates then you will need the latest Numbers there. And if you use the latest Numbers there and want to sync to the Mac, you'll need to have Mavericks and Numbers 3.

App-V: A Configuration Template for Deploying to Stateless RDS Clients on Citrix Published Desktops with Citrix UPM for Profile Management

App-V: A Configuration Template for Deploying to Stateless RDS Clients on Citrix Published Desktops with Citrix UPM for Profile Management
Just posted this to the wiki:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/25318.app-v-a-configuration-template-for-deploying-to-stateless-rds-clients-on-citrix-published-desktops-with-citrix-upm-for-profile-management.aspx

I would not recommend this and keep the package cache and the client on the same non-persistent drive and enable the Shared Content Store. If you separate the cache and the App-V client they could get out of sync and strange behaviour can occur.
You can use a temporary local profile with Citrix UPM or UE-V and specify what to roam/save.
You can use the Shared Content Store so packages will stream over the network. When the user logs on there is a publishing phase where shortcuts etc are created for the user, this will take some time.
Are you using the App-V full infrastructure?
Are you using a boot disk, partition or PXE in combination with PVS?
