FCP User Manual viewer

OK, this seems like it wouldn't be a FCP question, but hopefully someone has the answer:
I needed to look something up in the manual, so I went Help --> User Manual and it opened up in Adobe Reader. It used to open up in Preview. Preview has a much faster search engine (and I like the interface better for this purpose). Any way to get the manual to open up in Preview again?
I tried looking for the manual (and the one for Motion) in my system (to try and do a "Open Always With" command) but didn't know where it's located (or if it will work). Thought it was in /Library/Application Support but it wasn't.
Any ideas? Or am I just being too picky?
Jonathan

The location should be /Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Final Cut Pro Help
That is, with the Applications folder open in a Finder window, control-click on the Final Cut Pro icon and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu, then navigate. Once you've gotten to the Final Cut Pro Help subfolder, you can select the user manual and do the whole 'Open with' thing...

Any Way to Save a pdf User Manual?

I seem to recall that in previous versions of FCS apps, including Motion, you had the Help option to open (usually in Preview) a pdf User Manual. From there, via the Print dialog, you could do a "Save as PDF", into the folder of your choice.
I often like to have a searchable User Manual which I can access without having to launch the app itself. So I created a special folder into which I would save separate pdf copies of user manuals which had been incorporated into the apps themselves. But in Motion 4, all I'm seeing is an HTML Help Document, and trying to "Save as PDF" via the Print window only seems to let me save the one currently visible page, nothing more.
So -- is there still any way to create a separate, searchable User Manual for Motion (and for the other FCS3 apps), or have even pdf help documents gone the way of those two-ton paper manuals of yesteryear?
Thanks,

Yeah, the PDF functionality is lost within the FCS3 apps themselves. The Pro Apps team wanted to be able to continually update the Help files, so they were made (exclusively) web-based.
That resulted in a bit of an outcry. Thankfully, the team listened, we have to now visit the Help pages for each app (here's the one for Motion) and open/download from the View as PDF link.

Automatic Conversion of PR to PO.. Need User Manual for ME59 T code

Hai Sap Gurus,
I Got the following content from net. but kindly help me by sending me user manual for ME59.
You created purchase requisition for various material. During creation of purchase order you used the following path:
Purchase Requisition
.......Follow on function
.........Create Purchase Order
............automatic via purReq.
When you mentioned required purchase requisition number and execute, system give error that purchase requisition does not contain any suitable item.
Is there any setting in customization where you can monitor and use that function.
In an effort for you to successfully use the Transaction Code ME59 to automatically convert the current PR into PO, then the following criteria should be met:
1) In the Purchasing View of the material master data, the "Autom. PO" field must be clicked;
2) In the Purchasing View of the Vendor Master Data, the "Automatic Purchase Order" field must be clicked;
3) The Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record shall be maintained which will allow the automatic copying of unit price and other conditions into PO;
4) The Source List shall be maintained for the nominated vendor which was shown in either the Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record.
or
it might be PR subject to release strategy and not yet released
or
If you're not using a source list or automatic creation of PO, you may need to assign the requisition to a purchase information record using transaction ME56. Then it should appear in ME58
Thanks.. Reply me pls...

Step by step process for automatic PO creation from PR
1. Tick check box in purchasing view of Material Master(MM01/MM02)
2. Tick check box for auto PO in purchaisng data of Vendor Master record (MK02)
3.   Maintain Source list for Material,plant and Vendor combination in ME01
4.   In ME51N create PR and assign source of supply in "Source of supply" tab
5.   In ME59N key in Purchaisng Org., Vendor and Plant - execute
You will get POs created with reference to PR automatically.
Hope its clear

FCP user preference question

I got a project from overseas, gotta fly there to edit a video. they provide my basic facilities.
I used to edit on my own machine....because the short cuts and whole the favorite effects and transitions that I saved in my FCP.
So my question is, since I gonna shift my FCP user preference files to another FCP, do they affect other editor's preferences. I am pretty sure on the FCP, there are lots of preference settings that other editors made.
in particular, let's say my shiftcontrol2 is 3 ways color correction tool, but on the computer that I am going to use might not be the color 3 ways, it might be some other functions...
can i just save their preference in a folder, and put my preference in , and after i am done, and put back their preference..?
thanks for your advice and suggestion in advance,
your help is highly appreciated
Hiro

You can use FCP Rescue to backup FCP preferences file and restore it later:
http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
Or you can do it manually:

Hope that helps !

Where is the user manual?

I just bought a 16GB iPhone and can't seem to locate the user manual within the box. Is there one that comes with the phone or am I just mistaken?

It should be in the black envelope, but, if no, you can view it here.
Personally, I prefer the online User's Guide as what accompanies the phone itself isn't that great.

Provide Feedback for the DVD Studio Pro User Manual and Onscreen Help Here

The Apple documentation team for professional video applications would like to know what you think about the DVD Studio Pro 4 Help documentation (available in the Help menu):
• How often do you use the DVD Studio Pro Help documentation? Under what circumstances do you use it most?
• How do you find what you're looking for in DVD Studio Pro Help? For example: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
• What do you like most about DVD Studio Pro Help?
• What is missing?
• Are there any particular examples of other manuals or documentation that you consider to be good models for future editions of the DVD Studio Pro User Manual and onscreen help?
• By what method do you usually learn a new application? For example: provided tutorials and manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training classes?
• What do you think is the most difficult feature/concept to grasp in DVD Studio Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had with the DVD Studio Pro Help documentation?
• Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
• Are there any other delivery methods or media you think we should explore?
• What size computer display do you typically use to view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch, 17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
• What resolution is the computer display set to when you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280 x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
• Do you use multiple computer displays?

• How often do you use the DVD Studio Pro Help
documentation? Under what circumstances do you use it
most?
I'm working with DVSP for 4 months, so everytime I don't know how to do something I use the documentation. As the times passes I almost don't need it so often.
• How do you find what you're looking for in DVD
Studio Pro Help? For example: table of contents,
index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
PDF Search, but I think is not the best way to search because it shows too much useless results.
• What do you like most about DVD Studio Pro Help?
It is powerful and easy to use.
• What is missing?
A way of editing the DVD Project Source Code. Let me explain: in some big projects I just need to change the Jump from "button_1" to "button_2", and to do that I need to find the button under my menus and choose it from a list. If I can just type "2" instead of "1" it will be faster and error-free.
Advancing in this idea, if I can open the entire link list as a Source Code in TextEdit, I can see all the buttons and link all of them without seeking for each on menus.
Today the Connections Tab helps a lot, but I still need to find the button un the menus. With 5 or 4 menus is easy, but sometimes I have 50...
• Are there any particular examples of other manuals
or documentation that you consider to be good models
for future editions of the DVD Studio Pro User Manual
and onscreen help?
The OSX help is great!
• By what method do you usually learn a new
application? For example: provided tutorials and
manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training
classes?
Manuals, third-party tutorials and discussions foruns.
• What do you think is the most difficult
feature/concept to grasp in DVD Studio Pro?
• What's the most frustrating experience you've had
with the DVD Studio Pro Help documentation?
Using scripts. It could be better with a lot of examples. "To do that, try this one".
• Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
In electronic is easy to find things.
• Are there any other delivery methods or media you
think we should explore?
• What size computer display do you typically use to
view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch,
17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
I use AppleCinema 20
• What resolution is the computer display set to when
you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280
x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
1650x1050
• Do you use multiple computer displays?
No.

Is there an Apple User Manual for Pages 5.5.2?

I've been a Pages 09 user for many years. There's a lot to like in Pages 5.5.2. But a user manual showing techniques would be appreciated. Particularly for Search & Replace, whole word searches, invisibles searches, and so forth.
Appreciated.

Try googling "apple pages search" to find stuff like
Pages for Mac 5.0: Find and replace text
Of course no amount of documentation will fix defects in Pages 5. Pages 4 is vastly superior in most areas.
To have Apple see your views on these defects, use
http://www.apple.com/feedback
and post a review in the app store.

"Scale to sequence" missing in Modify, yet users manual says it is there

I want to enlarge a photo imported into FCE from Iphoto and can't figure out how to do it. The Users Manual that comes with FCE on page 763 says to go to Modify then Scale to Sequence, but there is no such command in Modify.
I see that Tom Wolsky says there is no such command available in FCE, then why is it in the Manual?
Very frustrating.
Anyway, is there a way to enlarge an imported photo either in Timeline, Viewer, or Browser?
All help is appreciated.

When the images are in the sequence select them and use remove attributes Cmd-Opt-V. Check basic motion to reset the scale. You can also open individual items into the Viewer and reset he scale in the Motion tab.

User manual on pdf versus hard copy

Just curious to know other enthusiasts' opinions about Canon not providing a hard copy user manual. I assume most if not all of the other manufacturers do the same, but one thing is for certain: I hate it! I don't like having to refer to a pdf file to view the guide, and I don't care to print out a whole bunch of pages on my printer for frequently referenced material.
Is it just me, or are other people bothered by not having a hard copy user manual?

Hi, I can understand companies cutting cost on printing hard copies versus a PDF on a CD. When I got my 7D, refurbushed, it did come with a printed manual and I never opened it at all. i purchased a video by Blue Crane and have watch those videos several times and I believe a video is better than trying to read a company manual. After the videos, I then went out and bought David Bisch's manual on the 7D. Better written and have never wanted any infomation that was not in either item.
Mike Goodwin 7D/400D/ Manfrotto 3228W Giotto MH3300/ 400mmL/ 50mm F1.4/28mm F2.8/28x135 & Tamron 18x270

Need user manual for NI DAQPad-6016

Need a user manual for the NI DAQPad-6016. When I download the E_Series_Help.chm file off the NI website and run it, I get the following message:

Laura:
Thanks for the info!
I have submitted feedback a couple of times to the effect that I prefer PDF documentation.
I was not aware of the uncompiled help files. Are these generally available any time the compile help file is used? They are helpful in that I can view them on my Macintosh. I still prefer the more book-like PDF format, though.
I am downloading chmMagic to give it a try.
Thanks for the help! There's so much stuff on NI's web site it can be hard to know what's available and how to find it.

Is there a "normal" user manual for the 8600 pro? Something as simple as "how do i cancel a print j

I have a HP OfficeJet 8600 all-in-one printer and would like to find a "normal" user manual (If such a thing exists). I tried in what somebody considers a manual to find out how to "Cancel a print job". I could not find it in what professes to be a user manual! I finally figured it out on my own, but it would be nice to have a "conventional" manual with an index at the back!

Looking for writing User Manual

We developed a application and we want to know is there any tool or Apex supports writing user Manual/technical manual (help file) .
Currently we are writing in word doc.
Any help is really appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Apex has built in help facilities. Virtually any item you create has a help text section which can be activated at an item level. Context sensitive page level help can also be added to an application which automatically hooks into this help text. See the following
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/app_comp.htm#CHDCDBFB
A tip for this is that if you enter your help text as raw html, it will display formatted. An easy way to do this is to create a dummy page with one item that is a text area with HTML editor. You can create your formatted text in this area and then switch the view to html text. This text can then be cut and pasted into the help text field for the relevant item.
Another tip is to create your help text page with a close button (there is a javascript URL for doing this) and then editing the help item in the navigation bar to launch the page as a popup. (Using javascript popup URL).
Regards
Andre

I have a new mac book pro but cant find a user manual?

I have a new mac book pro and cant find a user manual?

being a windows user I too looked for a book as I had pretty much all large OS changes like XP to w7Pro.... so barnes and noble has what I found to be an excellent book after looking through many at bookstore...
"OS X Mavericks The Missing Manual" which covers OS X 10.9.1 first edition was dec 2013 so recent book 850 plus pages of info and pictures very easy read and the views make it simple to follow.
Me I like technical info but this book is for everyone with sections on just about every topic the OS has.
I do believe I paid like $35 (US) but well worth it as I hadn't touched an Apple since 1988 with truly floppy discs we used to punch nothces in.
Author is a N. Y. Times writer who wrote many a "Missing Manual" as I can't remember the last time anything came with a manual. I had a $4600. windows machine built by Puget Systems and others over the years from Falcon Northwest.... none came with manuals other than similar to Apples quick info foldout.
Good luck
