File handling like PDF's, eps etc

I deleted Preview, then Color Sync utility tried to open PDF..when I'm in InDesign CS and I want to edit orginal, it should 100% always open in Photoshop.
But, it looks for Preview sometimes (no matter what I do with the litte "Get info/Open With" trick.
I want Tiger to never know Preview existed and most certainly, not to open a low-level viewer.
I remember the old days of setting via the systems settings, not application, what apps to use to open different files.
Is there a similar way in Tiger?

If going the Get Info->Open With route doesn't do the trick, then I suspect that the LaunchServices database is fouled up. See http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html and
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486 for details on how to rebuild it.
BTW, IMHO, deleting Apple-supplied apps is bad juju. Updates will probably get hosed when the installer can't find the pieces that are included. You should reinstall it (extract it from the install disk using Pacifist), run the latest COMBO update, and then use the Get Info method to use something else for PDF files.

Does the logging API provide "Asynchronous File Handler", like log4j ?

Hi,
One more question about java.util.logging:
Does sun provide a standard "Asynchronous File Handler", equivalent to log4j AsyncFileAppender ?
The idea is, logging requests are placed into a queue, which is being consumed by a dedicated logging-IO thread.
Thanks.

it's a shame, really. the Logging API was blatantly inspired by Log4J, but it's just such a poor cousin in so many ways...

Indesign crashes when exporting to pdf with .eps and .ai files placed

Hi everyone,
I have an Indesign file with 4 placed Illustrator .eps file placed. Whenever I try to export to pdf, it starts to export and then when it reaches a page with a .eps file on it, it hovers for a minute and then Indesign crashes. I decided to save these 4 .eps files as .ai files and replace them. Now when I export to pdf, it gets through the export and a pdf file is created but immediately after, Indesign crashes.
Is this a sign of corrupt .eps or .ai files or a corrupt Indesign file? All I know is that if I remove all the image files, then the ID file is fine, ie. it exports and ID doesn't crash.
Is there a way to test either .eps, .ai or Indesign files for corruption, and if they are corrupt is it possible to repair them?
Appreciate any help offered.

You haven't said which version of Indesign you are using or other specs, but I would bet that you are using CS2 on an Intel Mac. CS2 runs under Rosetta on an Intel Mac, and I have found that memory problems are often the result of crashes like the ones you have described. My advice is to stay away from EPS files and use AI or PSD, especially if the file is a bitmap or photo. This has eliminated all the crashes that used to occur on my system. As far as the crashes after making PDF files, I don't have a solution other than restarting Indesign after exporting a PDF file or two at a time. The same Rosetta memory problem seems to mess it up for me. Mine would just exit from Indesign with no warning. Hope this helps.

Disable the pop-up message box "How would you like to open this file" to open pdf file??

Hi,
is there any way i can stop the pop-up box displaying to open pdf file in sharepoint document library? Right now whenever i am trying to open pdf file, asking "how would you like to open" Read only or edit mode. currently MIME Type is setup
but still pop-up message box.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi ,
As far as I know, This is a default feature. and is not recommended to delete or deactivate this pop up.
This is a feature of office and there is a dll called owssupp.dll which is responsible for getting the popup to open.
You can go to IE tools> addon settings and deactivate the above dll (sharepoint open document class). But if you do so, then the other office office files which are word/excel/pptx etc.. would aslo gets affected and they also wont get the popup.
Hope this helps.

How do I convert an EPS file to a PDF file?

I am working in Pages ('06 - 2.0.1), and I cannot open an EPS file and convert it to a PDF file. Pages doesn't respond and I have to force quit. The same thing happened when I tried opening the file with Preview. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

What determines how a PDF or EPS file is opened??????

Hi I was wondering if anyone can tell, what determines how a PDF or EPS is opened in Photoshop.
If I open a PDF in photoshop, the first thing that pops up is the settings for which you want it to open. i.e., color mode, resolution, you choose what you want and then open.
I always thought that how the file was created determines the initial settings in which photoshop displays in that little dialogue box. (for example, if I open an illustrator eps file that I created in photoshop, it always prompts the correct settings (300dpi, CMYK) I click open and it works great.
But when I open a PDF in photoshop it always displays the color mode as RGB, not cmyk. Which i find odd, because I know there is no RGB color space in the PDF.
Today something weird happend, I created an Ad in Indesign, every image I am certain was 300 dpi, and the rest are vectors. Exported it to PDF with high resolution settings, but when I opened it up in Photoshop, the settins dialogue box promted it as 72dpi, which again I find odd because I know each image is 300, the rest are vectors, and I know the PDF preset to which I exported it creates high res images.
Does anyone know what determines how a PDF or eps file is opened in Photoshop and why photoshop is rendering a PDF in which I am certain is hi res, to a low res?
Thanks for any help. Kevin

>EPS is opened in Photoshop.
Nothing, really. EPS provides this info openly in its header, but it is not always right, so PS cannot even assume it would be correct to use that info. For PDF it's a different story. PDF is a container format that can contain any number of items in mixed resolutions and colorspaces, hence PS cannot assume anything. Likewise, you can have multiple pages, links, multimedia content, all of which may influence the result upon display or rasterization...

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

Hi jgallu7382,
The latter is easily accomplished using the Drawing Markup tools, which are available in both the free Adobe Reader, and in Acrobat. Copying/pasting text into the PDF is something that you could do using the editing tools that are available only in Acrobat. Note, however, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a text-editing application, so editing there won't be as robust as in an application designed specifically for that purpose. (It's also worth mentioning that you won't be able to alter a PDF if it has document permissions applied that would prevent you from doing so.)
I hope that answers your questions.
Best,
Sara

Will saving an eps file as a pdf change color output? Digital printing.

Hello, I recently sent in a reprint order of a client's package label file, and the color output is quite different. The first times I ordered these labels, I sent in an eps file. At the printer's request, I submitted the file as a pdf this time. I can't see any differences bewteen the eps and pdf files. They're both RGB, the color values are sttill the same in the file. Should the file type change result in such a different output? Thanks for any advice...

Switching from a RGB color mode to CMYK gives the same colors on Screen? Since the CMYK is a subset of the colors available in RGB this is not usually the case.

How do I transfer data files (word, Quickbooks, pdf, etc.) to the ipad?

How do I transfer data files (word, Quickbooks, pdf, etc.) to the ipad for safe store and possible reading and manipulation of some key files (word and Pdf)?

You first need an app, or apps, that are capable of reading/storing, and possibly editting them - without the app(s) there is nowhere to copy them to. As to how you then get the files onto the iPad depends upon the app(s) that you are using : iBooks (free app which can store/read PDFs) is via iTunes and the Books section of your computer's iTunes library. Other apps can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab on your computer's iTunes, some apps have wifi capability so that you can copy to/from them via your wifi network, and you may also be able to transfer email attachments into the app.

Layered eps file to layered pdf...

I have an .eps file (CS5) with 48 individual layers. I need to save/export this file to a .pdf file that keeps the individual layers of the original .eps. How do I do this?

Layers in a PDF and layers in an Illustrator file are a completely different thing.
You can save the main layers as PDF-layers into the PDF file, but when you open the PDF again, the layers will be lost.
Only when saving with Illustrator editability you can keep a copy of the original file in the PDF. Then the layers are conserved, but only when you open the file again in Illustrator (same version)
