Fix for overlay text rendering issue

@Neil Enns - I have branched this into a new discussion from original thread: Re: Trouble with ipa size after changing assets
Having some issues with overlays that are set to "vector" for "Export format in PDF articles"
It seems as this setting doesn't really affect the output of the overlays? as a test we updated a few of our overlays to utilize this setting and after running them through DPS and loading up the resulting .ipa file the results remain pretty consistently pixelated.
As a note, we are using 2048x1536 source files, rendering a 1024x768 folio and viewing on a retina display. (all screencaps taken from retina displays)
This setup is described as providing an optimal balance between file size and image quality in the thread mentioned above.
Is there anything we could be doing that would prevent the "vector" setting from rendering properly?
Or is this perhaps just the best that type in an overlay will look with a 1024 folio on a retina screen?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Neil Enns - Adobe / Bob Levine
Thank you both for the advice. There is a bit of strangeness though when importing the article. We had a couple of test folios we were using and on one of the folios the import article process would default to "automatic" format. When we forced the article format to be "PDF" all of a sudden our overlays were coming out nice and crisp!
Huge thanks!!
I do have one final follow up about this though.
It seems that the "vector" format only applies to the second state of the overlay? For instance we have some buttons which have text objects in them inside our MSO. These buttons then trigger the second state of the object which now nicely appears as vector... but how come the buttons are still getting rasterized?
Is there any way to apply this same vector format to buttons? Or is this only an option for an MSO?
Just trying to understand how all this works!
Thanks again for all your help and advice.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can anyone make --this fix-- work for the FONT rendering issue?

I found this bug report and proposed fix on the webkit buglist:
http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14070
Here is a link that one says can be used to fix the
rendering issue with bold fonts.
If anyone can make this work for Safari 3 on XP please let me know....
Here are the text and link to the how to:
You can fix rendering issues by changing language for non-Unicode programs. The
instruction:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx#EVE
You should restart system after applying setting.
Hope this helps someone
If not, then call apple support and complain....
maybe if their support phones are getting hot... then they
will fix this horrible bug

I don't believe this is a support issue, it's rather a Bugdev issue. Use the Bug-Report field in Safari to report this directly to the engineers. I also think the bug is known and will be solved, it's therefore not really in the range of AppleCare. (Beta Software is usually unsupported!)

Any fix for the kernel panic issue?

So far, i've had 12 kernel panics. Usually it only happens when I start iTunes or software update. I read in a developer forum it was because of the NVIDIA Graphics card. So, are there any fixes for the kernel panics with Lion?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

Any fix for MS mouse scrolling issue?

Hey there. I've somewhat recently come into a problem where my Microsoft wireless mouse won't scroll through the iTunes library with the scroll wheel.
I've done other searches, I've seen others with the same problem, but no solutions.
Is this a permanent issue between the Microsoft mouse and the iTunes program that we have to wait for an official fix, or did something go wrong in my installations and I can fix the problem myself? (I have the newest IntelliPoint drivers and the newest version of iTunes).
The problem wasn't evident in XP, so it's probably a Vista vs. iTunes thing, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong or if there was an easy fix for it.

***** to have to buy a new mouse to fix the problem, I like how this mouse feels and moves (sigh..I love censors)
I guess when this one is about ready to be replaced I'll turn to logitech, but hopefully some sort of patch or fix will be introduced to let MS mice scroll in iTunes lol

Is there a fix for 5d ii focus issue

Hello, I just purchased the 5Dii used but the owner said the camera was working perfectly. I notice that when I take photos the photos do not look sharp. I am shooting in raw and using fast enough settings that they should be sharp. I tried different lenses and a tripod still same results when viewed at 100%. So I have been reading about the 5d ii having focus issues and was wondering if there is a fix to this problem? Also, I read that with 21 mp the photos won't look sharp in the view finder or when viewed at 100% has anyone else heard this? Any suggestions would be helpful. I am thinking I need to return the item which is a shame, I was so excited to get the 5d ii and very disappointed to be having this issue.

I don't suggest using the viewfinder to judge quality of photos -- it's too small.
There are no focus "issues" with a 5D II -- it's an excellent camera. It doesn't have the advanced focus system of the 5D III but if the focus points on your 5D II tell you that something is correctly focused then it should be correctly focused.
There are NUMEROUS things that can cause problems (none of which are defects.)
1) If you allow the camera to auto-select it's focus point, remember that the camera will always pick the focus point which can lock focus at the closest focusing distance. Suppose you're taking a photo of someone's face, but on the side of the frame there's a bush -- and that push is in far enough that one of the focus points is on the bush. The camera will focus on the bush and NOT on your subject's face. Usually you will want the camera to focus on the nearest subject, but when shooting shots with distracting elements in the frame which are closer then your intended subject, you need to pick the focus point you want the camera to use rather than allow it to auto-select the point.
2) If focusing at a particularly low focal ratio (especially at close distances) the depth of field can get REALLY thin. If you want focus on your subject's eyes -- you will need to carefully position the focus point and lock focus on your subject's eyes -- otherwise you may end up getting a focus lock on their nose (as an example) and the eyes will be slightly soft.
3) In the default "one shot" mode, the camera will focus prior to taking the shot. When focus lock is achieved the camera will stop adjusting focus. If either you or your subject move after that point, the camera will NOT re-adjust -- you'll get a soft shot. With moderate f-stops usually a small movement wont change focus distance enough to matter -- this is mostly an issue at shallow f-stops. But if shooting action where you KNOW your subject is moving and focus distance is changing, you need to use the "AI Servo" mode which continuosly updates focus.
4) Your 5D II allows you to adjust the focus accuracy of a lens. Some lenses will routinely focus just slightly in front or behind your intended focus distance. When you detect that you have a lens that does this, the camera can compensate. This adjustment requires that you set up an accurate focus test to determine if an adjustment is needed and how much. Do not attempt to make an adjustment by using regular every-day shots... use a carefully controlled focus target, tripod, etc. There's a procedure for doing this.
5) If you suspect inaccuracy with focus points (and you really need to be careful to use controlled circumstances before arriving at such a conclusion) you can test by switching to "live view" mode to see if you get different results. Live view mode does not use the phase-detect auto-focus points... it uses contrast-detection focus instead. Contrast detection is slower but in theory should be able to provide more accurate focus as long as you have a subject with some decent contrast. If live view is consistently outperforming the standard phase-detect AF mode then you may need to perform focus adjustment on your camera (this is specific to each lens you own... this is because each lens can behave differently.)
Lastly... your camera records which AF points were used when it takes a photo. This data can be displayed IF you use the Canon EOS Utility (which should have come with your camera). It'll put the familiar focus array overlaying your photo and highlight the active point(s). Just be aware that if you did a "focus and recompose" that the camera is going to report which focus point was used to lock focus but wouldn't know you recomposed the shot. If you're not recomposing and your subject distance wasn't changing then the utility should be accurate.
Incidentally, Apple's "Aperture" software also allows you to view the Canon focus point data. As far as I'm aware, this is not available in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Is there a fix for the whining MacBook issue?

So, has there been a good and final solution from Apple to the whining MacBook problem? I just received my brothers MacBook as he upgraded to the MBP. It is still under Apple Care so if there is a good solution I would like to send it in to get fixed.
I had never heard of this issue but as soon as I started using it when I got it I heard the whine and couldn't stand it. I did a little research online and most posts I've seen about it are fairly old. I did download QuietMBP which works, though it uses about 8% of the CPU capability which I'm sure drags down my battery life. It does work though, with it running the MB is quiet as my old Ibook was so at least I can happily use it. It just seems like a backwards sort of fix though.

I have the same problem and am trying to find a solution. I have an intel iMac Alum 20" 2.0ghz, 2gigs Ram, Radeon 2400XT, 250 Gig HD. The noise started after about three days of ownership. I have this for almost two weeks now. I cant find any solutions and have talked to Apple over the phone they suggested taking it to an Apple store and let them take a look at it, but I live an hour away from the nearest store, so this is a pain. But yes, the whining is annoying and loud at times. It whines for like 1-2 seconds going from a low pitch to a high pitch in those 2 seconds. It then stops and comes back maybe 20 seconds later. So thats been happening for about a weeek now.
Then all of a sudden early this morning (4AM), while the computer was in sleep mode, I was awakened by that same high pitched sound, but it wouldnt stop, I had to get up and turn the computer off. I would definatley love to get some answers and have this fixed. I've read many posts now with people having similar experiences.
So now this ShhMBP thingy, I wonder if this will work with an iMac. Just want this fixed. Thanks

ADA Fixes for Robohelp: Frames & CSS Issues

Fellow Robohelpers:
I am attempting to resolve a set of major issues within Robohelp 8
a) Frames are not properly named in Robohelp 8. Is anyone aware with which files to change (post generation or pre-generation of outputs) to rename Frames so the visually impaired user is clearly informed which frame they are on
b)When you disable CSS, the navigational elements (frames) become a jumble. They do not function correctly (TOC, Index, Search) since Robohelp is heavily CSS dependent and hides objects (text fields, the various left hand navigational elments) behind CSS.
Any reccomendations how to resolve these, or insights as to how to make Adobe aware of this! I have been reaching out to them about this for quite some time! I am hoping capturing a workaround for at least a) will make the tool one step closer to ADA compliance (screen reader compliance)
Thanks
Yaseen

Hi,
I guess your output is WebHelp. First, try to create 'Section 508 compliant' output or pure HTML output. This may solve quite a bit of your problems.
If you don't want that output, this is what I think:
a) RH nests a lot of frames, but start looking at the launch file, the csh.htm file, whskinfrmset01.htm and whskin_frmset010.htm. Note that if you change the names of frames, this may cause some scripts to stop functioning...
b) As for the CSS issues, the only way to make that work is to manually sort out all problems and amend the javascripts.
If you want to let Adobe know your wish, use the wish form: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38

Anyone seeing text rendering issue in Finder?

When scrolling through large list of files the text in Finder is getting jumbled. When selecting a different app - the text improves in finder - but the screen is still not painting entirely correct...

Apple are aware of this issue and I have been advised that it is being investigated. However if you go onto the AMD Radeon website it appears that the graphics card is not compatible with Mac. When trying to download any new drivers or purchase the same card every avenue you explore comes up with PC compatible.
I have requested a call back from apple support tomorrow and if anything materialises I will post the details,
I have paid £2500 for top range iMac and beginning to think this was a mistake!!

Possible fix for Word2004 "Date Modified" issue

I'm not sure if anyone else is still dealing with this problem - we discussed it a year ago here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7610823
But just in case there's someone else out there with the problem - I think I've found a fix (requiring OSX Server 10.5, tested on OSX Server 10.5.6)
The problem:
When you have a Word 2004 file (whatever.doc) stored on a server (10.4.0-10.5.6) then you have an annoying Date Modified issue. Whenever someone who is not the owner simply opens the file, the Date Modified date updates. When the owner of the file opens it, the date does not change. So by simply opening the document (and making no changes, and not re-saving it) you trigger an update of the Date Modified field.
More info can be found following the link above.
Well. I think I've found a work-around that's better then the current "Have everyone login as the same user" one.
In OSX Server, setup the permissions for the share with group as "read only" - so the POSIX permissions only give non-owners read-only access. (Everyone should also be RO or None)
Then you need to apply a Custom ACL. You want to give them Read & Write, but then edit the Write permissions to not allow Write Attributes and Write Extended Attributes.
So the ACL is:
[ ] Administration
[Y] Read
[-] Write
--[ ] Write Attributes
--[ ] Write Extended Attributes
--[Y] Create Files (Write Data)
--[Y] Create Folder (Append Data)
--[Y] Delete
--[Y] Delete Subfolders and Files
[Y] Inheritance
Obviously this means your users cannot write attributes - so for photos and other files where meta-data is critical, this is not a great idea. But for the vast majority of shares, this is fine - they can still "read and write" all the files and folders, but the Date Modified problem does not arise.
I'd be interested to see if this works for anyone else. Please let me know
Charles

Interesting and understood. I always tell people/clients that want to use dates either date created but definitely date modified to add that into the name of the file or call them revisions each time, ie:
lawsuitJamesrev2
or
lawsuitJames_5_1209
Reason being is depending on the backup system or worse yet disaster recovery you might not see or be able to see modified dates. IF the file is labeled as shown above it makes it easier. Again each person is different but from experience this works best as well as sorting. Also law firms I worked with have a number system since they needed to follow regulations on how to secure content. Again just ideas...hope you find an answer and pass it on

Fix for blurry text on Dell 30" U3014 connected by DisplayPort to Mac Pro (late 2013) AMD D700

Just connected my new Mac Pro (late 2013) to my Dell 30" U3014 with DisplayPort cables, only to find blurry text and bad gamma etc.
Whilst the earlier post/discussion Mac Pro (8 core with the D700 GPU's) (Dell U2713H) was somewhat illumative, I thought a simple list of links for this specific configuration might help someone.
The Ruby script, modified for D3014 can be found at post http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3153072

Hi Grant,
Thanks for taking the time to think about my issue and respond. But I don't see where your response is relevant.
I want to connect two monitors, each via Mini-Display Port, and only one will work at a time. I am not using DVI cables at all. In this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6068, it clearly states that I can connect three monitors via Thunderbolt (mini-display port) as long as they're on different busses. I was doing that, and it didn't work.
What display configurations can I use with my Mac Pro (Late 2013)?
You can connect up to six displays to your Mac Pro (Late 2013) running Windows 8 via Boot Camp. Check the list below to be sure you're setting up your displays in a supported configuration via the HDMI and Thunderbolt ports.
You can connect:
Six Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays via Thunderbolt. For best results, attach displays to different Thunderbolt busses when possible (see figure below).
Three Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch). Connect only one per Thunderbolt bus (see figure below). Note: You could connect three more LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays, one per Thunderbolt bus, for a total of six displays.
Two Apple Thunderbolt Displays (on Thunderbolt bus 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV using HDMI.
Two 4K displays (on Thunderbolt buses 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV on HDMI).

Fix for Aperture 3 printing issue for Non-US users - "Value too large"

Hi,
I just found a fix to an annoying bug when Non-US customers want to print in Aperture 3.0 and 3.0.1 on their printers:
If you set the Image Size to "Custom image size" Aperture 3 will complain that:
"The value xx is too large" !!!, even if the margins are set to a minimum!
Here's the solution and it's definitely a bug:
Set your Measurement Units to "US" instead of "Metric" in:
System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats > Measurement Units: US
Since I had my Measurement Units in "Metric" instead of "US", Aperture thinks that you enter your values in "Inch".
So when a Non-US User enters 25cm, Aperture interprets it as 25" inch for a 8"x10" paper size, that's why then it complains that value is too large.
Yep a bug!! Waiting for Aperture 3.0.2
Hope this helps

Some problem here... Have you guys already filed a bug report? If not, please do so, so Apple nows there is this problem. You can file a report from the Aperture >Provide Aperture Feedback menu item.

HT1688 Is there going to be a fix for the slow keypad issue using iOS7?

What is happening in regards to this latest upgrade to iOS7 causing slow keypad response? Is Apple going to address this issue with an update? This is a real problem in the event of needing your phone to make an emergency call or text!!! The slow response could be dangerous! Example: Deaf or Hard of Hearing individuals communicate almost exclusively by text, user to user as well as to a relay service.

I'm trying to roll back to iOS 6 for this and other reasons. People here on the forums say you can't but that doesn't make any sense.
