Export downdrop menu missing

Hi,
I have an apparent install issue (?) with Quicktime. When trying to export a .mov file using File -> Export, the "Save exported file as" screen is LACKING dropdown menus for "Export" and "Use". The "Options" button is there and is functional. I can not export to any other format than the default (to .mov)
Any ideas on solutions? if not, can you recommend another program to use to convert .mov files to other formats (principally AVI or MPEG for use in powerpoint)?
Perhaps useful information: I have uninstalled ALL Apple software and re-installed Quicktime 7.6.9 twice. Second time I went through and deleted all files/folders and cleaned the registry in an attempt to remove anything that could be causing the problem. Same result....
I brought up this issue last year without a solution, just trying again.
(see drophttp://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10893466#10893466)
Thanks for any help or suggestions!!

Hi,
Looks like this is exactly the same problem for third party connections as I have the exact same issue for mySQL.
I had to apply 1.5.5 version to fix it.
Hope we're going to have this solved !
Thanks,

SQL Developer 2.1.0.63 - Export Data menu missing for SQL Server databases

Hi
The Export Data menu only appears for Oracle databases in this version, it does not appear for SQL server databases.
To demonstrate:
Press F9 to run query
Right click on Query Result data
For Oracle an Export Data sub menu appears
For SQL server no Export Data sub menu appears
This worked in previous versions.
Is this functionality going to reappear?
Thanks
Dave

Web Intelligence export to Excel misses some fields

Hi,
Our system is running BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 with SP3 (no fix packs). The behavior I'm seeing is when exporting a particular Webi doc to Excel.
Here is some background info for the document I am attempting to export to Excel. The doc contains a section and the section has a crosstab including description header cells. I have added an additional cell at the top of the section with section specific information in it- nothing that strange yet. If my InfoView (Web Intelligence) preferences is set so that 'Select a priority for saving to MS Excel' is set to 'Prioritize easy data processing in Excel' then the exported document is missing the additional cell at the top of the section (all other data is fine). If the setting is set to 'Prioritize the formatting of the documents' then the Excel export works perfectly.
My question is why would this be? The cell is just a simple dimension (string). My only fear about changing this Excel setting is that there is a warning in the 'Business Objects XI 3.1 Release Notes' guide. It states
Large Web Intelligence documents should be saved to Excel format using the "Prioritize data processing" option". The generated Excel might not open if the document is large and saved with the "prioritize formatting" option.
Thanks,
Steve

We are experiencing similar issue using BO 4 SP2 Patch 10 when exporting to Excel with setting 'Prioritize easy data processing in Excel'. Exporting data worked after changing WEBI settings to 'Prioritize the formatting of the documents'
Documentation regarding this option states following:
"Under "Select a priority for saving to MS Excel", select the option that best fits your needs:
u2022 If you want to display the data in a format that is similar to working in Web Intelligence, then
choose Prioritize the formatting of the documents.
u2022 If you want to display the data in a text format, then choose Prioritize easy data processing in
Excel."
If I understand this explanation correctly then both options should have extracted the same content to Excel. Difference should have been how the contents were formatted and should not have caused loss of information.
I logged support ticket for this issue.

Export Menu Missing Newly Installed Plugin

Is there a limit to how many export plugins you can have installed?
How do you remove one?
I installed Kodak Gallery one a few weeks ago and it works, but I want to use Myphotoalbum plugin now instead of kodak one and have run install and rebooted and restarted Iphoto but it isn't showing up on export menu as an option.
How can I remove kodak one if i dont plan on using it anymore?
Thanks

I'm not aware of there being a limit - it is more likely an incompatibility with the plug in - are you sure that it is compatible with iPhoto '08? also be sure that an old iPhoto plug "FileExporter.iphotoexporter" is not there - it can cause problems - the current one that should be there is "FileExporter2.iphotoexporter"
To view and control your plugs ins go to the applications folder and get info on the iPhoto application (right click (alt click) and select get info). Toward the bottom of the window there is a list of plug ins and you can turn them on and off or remove them there

IWeb publishing incomplete site - missing nav menu, missing photos

This is very odd. iWeb was working perfectly for me, but then all of a sudden, it started publishing the sites with parts missing. It consists of a Home page, a Photos page, and two other pages. But now when I publish it, the navigation menu with the links to the other pages are missing. The pages are still there and mostly intact, but the photo gallery page shows on photos. Also, there are no photos in the media page.
I tried deleting the plist and cache files and rebooting and nothing helped. I was originally uploading via FTP but also tried publishing the entire site to a local folder. Same result.

OKAY, I tried MANY things, and for some reason, the last one worked. I don't know if it was a combination of all this or this was just the main problem. But...
First, I reinstalled iWeb to no effect. Even when I exported it to a local folder, it didn't work.
Then, I installed iWeb onto a clean installation of OS X and it WORKED in the local folder but not on my web server.
Then, I took a look at the Console in Chrome and saw that it was getting a 403 when the navbar tried to pull feed.xml.
So, I changed the file permissions from 0644 to 0755.
That didn't fix it (though I've read that it does).
So, I emailed my web host and they said that there was a line in my .htaccess that was restricting all access to XML files (which iWeb uses heavily, apparently). This was stopping the page from generating my navbar and my photo slideshow.
So....
I ended up adding these two entries into my .htaccess
<Files feed.xml>
                    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>
<Files rss.xml>
                    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>
AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Output menu missing

Hi,
Just got Photoshop CS5 and when I went to try to make a photo gallery I found that my Output window (where all the photogallery options are) is not there just a grey box where the options should be. I know what it should look like after watching a youtube video.
I have tried loading the plugins, but that has not solved the problem.
Thanks,
markus

but the output menu item is missing,
They skipped this feature in CC together with the export panel and sync windows. However you can install the Output Module yourself using the instructions of this site:
http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
Read and follow the instructions carefully and you should be OK. There are many other threads about this subject in case you go wrong, but if you act carefully it should work again after you finished.

Print to PDF; Print to Compressed PDF; Print to Web Receipts menu, MISSING

I have been trying for several days now to restore printer prefs for a HP Officejet 7410.
Under Mac OS 10.5, and after reinstalling HP software and drivers from www.hp.com, the drop down menu for PDF option is missing entirely! As a work around... have tried 'file > save as', then choose pdf option. (This option only works in a very limited number of programs! I have gotten accustomed to 'printing to pdf' for archiving and password protecting key docs, and emails, et al; and therefore would like to regain this essential feature.
Question is, are others having this same problem with other printers, or have I missed some critical step in setting up my printer? (I already deleted all printers , then created a new printer profile from the print&fax menu under system preferences).
Any thoughts or useful observations, are Greatly Appreciated.
Sincerely,
Geoff

John.
+Thanks for reply.+
Re: +What steps have you taken to restore printer prefs?+
Originally installed Leopard (OS 10.5) using the *'UPGRADE to MAC OS'* selection.
Went to system preferences > deleted all printers. Clicked "+" button to add HP 7400 Series printer via bonjour. Added other virtual printers (FaxSTF). HP 7410 Printer dialog box was still missing "print to PDF" feature, and other features, so downloaded and installed current software and drivers for HP Officejet 7410. Again deleted all printers from 'Print & Fax' dialog box of System Preferences. Added printers Officejet 7400 Series ; and Officejet 7400 Series FAX.
Still have no "print to pdf" functions; can not use HP color rendering technology, only colorsync is available. Control over ink density, color temperature, and other previous print dialog choices are all MISSING IN ACTION.
I have rebooted from a cloned external HD using prior OS (10.4.10) all printer features function properly. So have concluded that Leopard is not 'prime-time' ready as far as many third party printers. Don't know when either HP will update it's drivers, or when Apple will create a update for devise drivers. Imagine there'll be some finger pointing for source of problem between HP & Apple. Guess will be returning to OS 10.4.10 until these bugs are ironed out.
If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, please drop me a note.
Thanks,
Geoff

2011 Server Trial: export to text missing

Help Please!
I must export a 2011 or XI rel2 report version to text with character spacing 0 and 0 page length (no page break).
This option is missing from the BI Launch Pad, as well as from the CMConsole.
The option is available in XIrel2, as well as available and working in Designer 2011 or what was called developer.

2 Years, multiple people are asking this question.......Does anyone in support have a response for keeping the trailing spaces intact during export?

Thanks Kumar for reply ..but I already handled it thru programmatically and we dont do this for "Export to Excel" button.. It automatically extract result data from the attached VO ....The thing that I dont understand is the binding exception upon "Export to excel" button selection..
Just fyi .. have used below query to get result data in VOImpl ..

How do I export a menu created in Premiere Pro CS5 to Adobe Encore CS5?

Hey everyone,
First time in here. Trying some new things in CS5. Anyway, I created a working DVD menu in Photoshop and brought it into Premiere to lay in some video and music. The video is an inset that moves from left to right and sits atop the background created in Photoshop. The file looks great in Premier and now I'm wanting to know how I can export this file so that it is a working menu in Encore and is the first play item for my completed DVD. Can this be done? Looking forward to the answers.
GD

There are some very good Encore tutorials for making motion and video menus on www.lynda.com that you might find helpful. If I understand what you are trying to do though, I don't think there is a direct method to accomplish what you want.
Let me ask you first, does the video inset that is moving across the screen have to continually be moving, or can you live with it moving from point A to point B at the start, then stop and become a normal menu with the video inset stationary?

PDF/X-4 export Futura Light "ö" missing-

Hi folks,
as to make for our new printing partner a colorserver work, we have to export our documents now in PDF/X-4 out of InD, usually we go with PDF/X-1a.
Our company font is the beloved Futura, and we use Light regulary.
After export the small "ö" is missing, this wont happen with the Futura Book or Bold, only with Light.
We contacted our font supplier and reinstalled our Futura, no success. Only the small "ö" is gone.
I checked the glyphs and noticed that the ö is the last character. Maybe the InD 5.5-Export is somehow buggy?
Can anyone help out?

On behalf of and as chairman of ISO TC130 WG2/TF2 (the ISO committee responsible for the PDF/X specifications), a few comments about PDF/X-1a versus PDF/X-4 (as well as PDF/X-4p and the various PDF/X-5 variants):
(1)     There is nothing wrong about using the PDF/X-1a standard if there is absolutely no transparency in your original content – including transparency effects such as drop shadows, feathering, mirroring, etc. and even clipped images using masks, not clipping paths – and that you know exactly what print conditions you are going to. PDF/X-1a was designed prior to the common usage of transparency and color management in Adobe and other graphic arts applications. Furthermore, at the time most PDF was printed by internal conversion to PostScript – PostScript was what as actually RIPed. PostScript has no native support for either ICC color management or live transparency!!
(2)     There is no question by those who really understand the underlying technology that the correct place to do transparency blending is at the RIP at the same time the content (whether text, vector, raster, or a combination of same) rendering, color management and other functions including trapping are being performed. We know the exact final color space as well as the resolution and geometry of the raster that the RIP process produces. There are no intermediate formats that can and will introduce imaging artifacts.
(2)     Contrast this to the situation in which content with live transparency is exported to PDF/X-1a. In the process of exporting PDF/X-1a, all transparency and transparency effects must be flattened into opaque objects. To do a credible job at this, you must know the resolution of the target device as well as its CMYK color space. If you mis-specify either of these, you are likely to get various flattening artifacts including pixelation of text, image stitching problems, as well as color rendition issues. And even if you do properly specify both resolution and output color space for the PDF export, you may still see some artifacts. If you have ever downloaded a PDF copy of a magazine that is either PDF/X-1a or simply is all CMYK with transparency flattened, you often see the artifacts as white lines on the screen!
(3)     This brings up another liability of PDF/X-1a! You effectively are married to a particular output condition and cannot readily repurpose your output including placement into another InDesign document without the possibility of serious problems. If you keep imagery in its native ICC profile-tagged RGB color spaces, keep live transparency, and export PDF/X-4 and decide to print to a device with different color characteristics, most advanced RIPs provide options for use of device link profiles to safely convert CMYK to C'M'Y'K' and the actual device output profile to conver the RGB to the C'M'Y'K' color space, possibly taking advantage of greater color game of the other device (or for that matter to a C'M'Y'K'OG device)!
(4)     Every RIP as well as software upgrades for existing RIPs over the last half dozen years has fully and properly supported PDF/X-4 including every RIP that is based on the Adobe PDF Print Engine or even those of Adobe erstwhile competitor, Global Graphics (Harlequin). If you are using a print service provider that hasn't updated their RIP software in six years, you are really taking big risks!
(5)     We understand from our own enquiries that many print service providers that publish specs requiring PDF/X-1a, will indeed take PDF/X-4. Typically, we find that print service providers who won't take PDF/X-4 at all are either ignorant as to what the newer PDF/X standards are, feel that it is safer for them to make the creative professional customer do all the color management and transparency flattening and blame all problems on the customer – “the customer is always wrong,” are fearful of anything “new” or “innovative” (quite a few Luddites in the print industry), or a combination of these factors! Of course, we know of print service providers who place PDF files in QuarkXPress 3.32b documents for imposition and others who actually try to use Photoshop as a RIP yielding CMYK separations as individual TIFF files. I can truly say that the print industry is often its own worst enemy!
(6)     I believe that someone in this thread mentioned something about European printing. Be aware that the latest Ghent Workgroup PDF standards are now based on PDF/X-4 (albeit only CMYK + spot, but with live transparency). Most UK and European print associations based their standards on the Ghent Workgroup standards (even if fighting and kicking all the way).
(7)     As indicated by others responding to this thread, you should never try to force something like PDF/X-4 on a reluctant print service provider. If they really don't want it, even if their software does support it, they will show you somehow that they were right. (That having been said, I have worked closely with some local printers for some personal projects and have showed them how to user PDF/X-4 to their advantage - I now have really good friends who will turn fairly complex print jobs overnight for me because they now realize how reliable the PDF/X-4 files I provide to them actually are.)

Combine supported files context menu missing

After upgrading a Citrix server environment from 32 to 64 bit users have noticed that the "combine supported files" option is missing from the context menu. Both servers use the same version of Acrobat
I tried this command from an administrator login at the console.
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu64.dll"
Still no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Good day,
Take a look at the solution below:
Add the following key to the Windows registry that Citrix is running on top of:

Exporting to Flash, missing library item?

I am using Flash 8 (also tried CS3, but flash 8 seems to
import Captivate much better) and Captivate 3.
I want to create a project following the steps outlined in
this adobe article.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/cpvideo_03.html
(this is the link to page 3 where the steps to exporting to flash
are outlined)
I am unable to because an item the author says should be in
the Flash library is missing. From the article:
quote:
1. Import the Macromedia Captivate project file using the
Import to Library option. Be sure to deselect the audio import
option (remember, the audio portion is in the FLV file) and any
other Macromedia Captivate feature that you did not use in your
demo.
2. Upon import, open up the Library panel and locate the
Macromedia Captivate content. It will have the same name as the
original Macromedia Captivate project file but with a CPT
extension.
3. Drag it to the Stage and name the instance captivate_mc.
If you omit this step, the resync code will not work.
But I am not seeing any "captivate content file".
Anyone have any thought/suggestions?

Well I guess captivate 3 must export slightly different than
Captivate 2. I had to basically manually create the movie clip the
article talks about. When you export from cap3 to flash it puts
everything on the scene 1 timeline. So I copied ALL the frames
& layers, created a new movie clip and put it all into that new
movie clip symbol. Just kind of a pain to have to do it manually,
but not a big deal.

PDF Export Issue - content missing (Not background freeze issue)

Hi,
Currently having some issues with exporting PDF's from Indesign CS5. When I export the first page (which is based off a master page) the majority of the content gets cut off - so this is images, coloured boxes and strokes and a barcode.(Top Image)
When I cut the content from the master page and paste it onto a standard page, then it prints off ok (Bottom Image), but we can't realistically do this every single time. Its not only in one document that its happened - it has occured with several of our documents and across multiple computers.
I have checked the forum and troubleshooting, have gone through and done the troubleshooting based on document and application level to no help. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/499/cpsid_49998.html#main_DocumentLevel
I've read the different posts regarding background tasks which is not the issue as it is actually exporting it and its fine.
Have restarted the machine, double checked updates, checked whether its a damaged document (its not from what I can tell)
Tried exporting without images (Omit OPI) with same results.
Have checked out the transpency issue (as does contain some transparency but no results).
So thinking it must be something to do with the master pages but I have no idea what.
We were using an external plug in for the barcodes for CS4, that does not work for CS5 so I removed the barcode to see if that was affecting it but again no luck.
Just to confirm we're running
Adobe CS5 onto our computers - we've run all the the updates both for Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4) and for all of the CS5.
Its being run on iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.4
Adobe CS4 has been uninstalled and deregistered so no interference there.
Can anyone help me out here or recommend something?
Thanks in advance.

I've redrawn it all and placed in new images and now its starting to do weird stuff like make the images disappear as well as making part of the transparency 20% (as set by me) but then making another section of it 100%.(See below - top one is correct, bottom is incorrect). I would agree with you that it may just be an issue with the file, except its happening across multiple computers. There's not really any chance its a dud version of CS5 is there? Its all legit so no real reason why it wouldn't be.
Override Master Pages fixes it, but this is pretty disappointing if I need to have to do this every single time as it makes the master pages on half useful.
We do have CS3 actually and I opened it in that, exported it as a .inx but same issue with elements missing - the stroke around the outside disappeared.
Could it be anything to do with bringing across elements from Illustrator? Although the top element is appearing fine, and the bottom transparent element is a copied item so shouldn't be an issue. And the image disappearing - there's no real reason for that.
