Generating an LOR for imported graphics in a Frame 12 book is failing.

When I attempt to generate a List of References for imported graphics in Frame 12, all I get back are the PDFs and PS files. Why no SVGs or TIFs, or other graphics formats? Is there a setting somewhere that determines which types of graphics files will be listed?

Other files that are not included are SVG and JPEG.

Width Wrong for Imported Graphics in Frame 9

Has anyone else had issues with Framemaker detecting the wrong width when importing graphics? As an example, when I import a JPG of a button that should be 21 x 21 pixels, Framemaker displays the width as 24px and the height as 21px. This results in a smashed graphic. If I adjust the dimensions of the graphic in FrameMaker to the correct dimensions, then print the PDF, the right border of the image is off.
I have tried capturing the graphic a variety of different ways, and I always experience the same results. I can import the graphic into Captivate or Word and the sizing is correct. Any ideas? Thanks!
I am using FrameMaker version 9.0p237 as part of the Technical Communication Suite 2.

I just tested this with a sample file at the 21x21 dimensions, and you are absolutely correct. FM9 screws up the dimensions (and default dpi resolution) for PNG and GIF files. I also tried BMP and TIF equivalents and these were ok. FM8 does not have this problem, so it looks like Adobe played with the PNG and GIF filters a bit (perhaps to get rid of all of the extra colours coming in).
For a JPG or PNG import of a 21x21 at 96dpi, FM9 seems to think that it is 24x21 at 110dpi. FM8 gets it right.
For a GIF import of the same, FM9 thinks it is 22x21 at 75dpi. FM8 got it right.
What's also strange is that if the dimensions are both even, e.g. 20x20 at 96dpi, then FM9 gets it right for the JPG, PNG and GIF. However, if the *first* dimension is odd, e.g. 21x20 it gets it wrong again as before, but if the second dimesion is odd, e.g. 20x21, the it gets it right. VERY WIERD!
It's definitely a BUG.
I would suggest that you either use BMP or TIF for now OR try to increase your icons by 1 pixel to make them an even size, e.g. 22x22.
I'd also recommend that you not use JPG for these, but rather GIF or PNG, because you may generate some unwanted artifacts in the JPG due to the lossy compression used.

Optimal resolution for importing graphics?

What is the best resolution for importing background images into keynote? I'm working on a 800 x 600 presentation and am wondering what resolution of file I can get away with using as I have quite a few full background images. Can I get away with 72 dpi?
thx.

Forget about DPI.
DPI (Dots Per Inch) is absolutely meaningless in this world. Why? Because INCHES are meaningless in this world of the screen and projector, where EVERYTHING is measured in PIXELS.
Your screen is 800 x 600 pixels. That means, for optimum image quality, your background image should be 800 x 600 pixels. If your images are larger than that (for instance, my camcorder can shoot stills that are 1600x1200 pixels) then you need to resize to fit your screen.
If you are using some brain-dead program that won't speak in pixels (Microsoft PowerPoint jumps immediately to mind, although that is a poor example because it is also supposed to be dealing with the screen...) then you need to do some conversions. If you have a 72 DPI image that is 4 x 3 inches, then that image will have a resolution of (72x4) x (72x3) = 288 x 216 pixels.

Tips for importing graphics into FCP

Hi all,
I am very new to Final Cut Pro, as my experience is as a print designer.
I have to make a very simple slide show and luckily I am working with a friend who has experience with FCP. My job is to set up the graphics that we'll be importing into the app. This will be authored on a DVD and played on a standard television/DVD unit.
Does anybody have any tips on how I should set up the documents I'll be importing? A resolution for the "canvas" I'll be working on? Any particular file formats I should use ( PICT, JPG, etc?...)
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I suggest you work on graphics with a larger number of pixels than the "base" video frame size - so you can zoom in, rotate and pan around it (known as the "Ken Burns" effect west of the Atlantic, or "Ken Morse" if east of the Atlantic!)
I you don't do this, and you want to tweak the graphic in FCP at all in respect of size, rotation, position etc (or move it, of course) you will lose definition in a big way.
I suggest trying about 2000x1500 pixels.

Automatically generating a comp for imported image sequences

hi, i'm quite new to After Effects scripting so bear with my newbieness;)
Basically i have a long list of shot folders which each contain a number of render layer folders which contains image sequences. I realised after a while that it is extremely tedious opening each shot folder and dragging the render layer folders into after effects, then creating a comp for them and also a shot folder for the sequences. Doing this for 60 shots individually takes hours and is boring.
Is there a way to run a script that can import all the shot folders in one big batch and then After Effects splits them up into their own seperate comps so i dont have to do it manually?
Any help or suggestions on this would be great,
thanks,
Sam

thanks myrslok, that was really helpful. I installed Immigration and then discovered it doesnt work with after effects 7.0. (which im on). Is there a way around this, because i saw the demo for Immigration and it looks great

Guidelines for importing graphics from Photoshop

Can anyone provide some guidelines for laying out a DVD menu design in Photoshop to be brought into DVD SP? What physical dimensions? What file format? Anything else I should know?
Thanks.

Hi
Sorry if it sounds like RTFM, but a good starting point is reading the Preparing Menu Sources topic in the DVDSP User Manual.
Basically you can use PSD files and/or TIFFs, PNGs. Avoid JPG because you must be very careful with compression level. If you work with PSDs, remember rasterizing effects before importing in DVDSP.
About the file dimension in pixels, this info is taken from the manual:
A good way to select the right dimension is starting a new PS file and use the video presets. You'll get a blank file guith secutiry zones guides, and the correct dimension and pixel aspect ratio to work with during menu design.
Hope that helps !

Taking Files Home Then Returning - Imported Graphics

I'd be interested in techniques for copying Frame files from the office shared drive for homework purposes, then returning the files to the office, when those files have graphics imported by reference from the office shared drive.
Right now all the graphics links get broken when I do this, and require painstaking reconstruction. Not worth the trouble.
I use Frame 7.2 on Windows XP.

These are good ideas. I'm not sure if Monica's will work for me because my office Frame and graphics files are on a network shared drive ("H"), and my home PC is self-contained (all files on C). I haven't tried it lately, but I think when the Frame files hunt for imported graphics at home they will look for an H drive. Is there a way around that?
Accessing the office drives from home as Jack suggests is a possibility but our Citrix-based system has quirks that have always stymied my efforts.
I think what I'm looking for is a way to "turn off" the imported graphics links before saving the Frame files to my jump drive. I can work without the graphics at home. Then I could turn them back on when I copy the files back onto the office network drive.
Perhaps this is a wish list item....

Imported graphic looks soft/pixelated

I designed an arrow in Photoshop that I saved as a .Tiff and want to bring into FCP. It seems real soft around the edges (almost pixelated). Anyone have any advice for importing graphics that look good.
Thanks.

1. Are you suggesting that I change this to something else?
If you want your graphics to look good, yes. DV is the very BOTTOM of the barrel SD...and it doesn't treat graphics well. Change your sequence settings to ProRes for SD, or DV50 and they will look better. You will have to render everything, but the graphics will look better.
CAVIAT: If you are going to put this back on tape then don't do this. DV50 or ProRes cannot be output to a DV tape. If you are going back to tape, then you will have to live with the quality of the graphics. It is what it is. GIGO... Garbage In, Garbage Out.
2. I have already edited most of the project. Will it cause any problems to change it at this point?
Well, you will have to render every clip...but you can wait until you output. You will get a bright green render bar above the footage, but it will still play fine. But it won't look full quality until you render everything.

Importing text file to address book?

I created a text tab-delimited file for import. From within Address Book, ran "Import". Matched up field names. All looked good. When I clicked on "OK" basically very little happened. After a few seconds the blue OK button became clear but nothing else. I advanced another record, clicked OK on it and same few seconds then nothing. I expected all the records to be imported.
In any case, tried this individually with a few records, then checked the Address Book and none of the info was in there.
Is this some kind of bug? I don't see that I did anything that was wrong with the import.
Advice appreciated.
Richard

Not sure if this helps, but ...
I made a quick text file to see if I could duplicate your problem. I put in three lines, the first with field names (First, Last, Work) and the other two with corresponding data. The values within each line were tab separated. When I ran AB's import I had to match up the third field to correspond with email (work). I flicked through the displayed records (all two of them!!) and they displayed as contact cards. I then clicked OK, and unlike your description, the import dialogue immediately vanished. The records were correctly imported.
When you look at the records in the import dialog do they all display correctly?
Could it be a 10.4.3 issue?
After attempting to do the import, has your contact count gone up?
What happens if you select the "last import" group?

Generating a List of References in FM12 to include External Cross-References and Imported Graphics, but no Imported Graphic references show in the LOR. Is this a bug in FM12 or what am I doing wrong?

and has always generated the list of references just fine. Now in FM12, the LOR no longer will give any references for the Imported Graphics. I have even tried creating a new chapter from the FM12 templates, adding the chapter to the front of the book, and allowing FM12 to use that file as the template for the LOR. Still no success - it will not give any references to the Imported Graphics in my chapter files. Is this a bug in FM12? Is there something different about FM12 that would cause this not to work with existing FM11 files??? Please help, I need this resolved and working.
Thank you,
Beverly

Arnis and Jeff,
Thank you both very much for your assistance. I was able to figure out why the Adobe Application Manager kept failing on installing the patches. Idiot me didn't unzip them first. Once I unzipped the patch files, the installer worked fine. Both patches are now successfully installed; my FM version is now 12.0.2..
To answer some of your questions:
Yes, I have administrator privileges on my PC.
Yes, I had all of the files in the book opened when I generated and/or updated the LOR file. So that was not the issue.
With the patches installed, I opened a book and all of its files. I updated the LOR and all works fine – it gives me all of the Imported Graphic references. So there must have been an issue with that release of FM12 (12.0.0.329), which was fixed with the patches.
Again, thank you both for your help!
Best regards,
Beverly

Excise Accounting document not generated for Imported Asset GR

Dear all,
Excise accounting document is not generated for imported asset goods receipt(MIGO)
but "C" Register part 2 no. is generated,usual accounting document is generated for GR,
Asset is Dr to GR/IR
Process is
1. Create asset purchase order with acct. assignment "A",
2. Customs miro based on p.o.
3. Do GR with excise
4. Post invoice for orginal vendor.
What will be cause of this problem ?
How to solve this issue ?

The above issue may be due to Accout assignmnet -A . Check your accout assignment in spro -mm-purchasing -accout assignment - Asset A - GR Non valuated has Ticked on . If it is ticked on - No Fi entry will happen at the Time of GR .
The reason being , if an FI entry happen for the first time , asset is capitalised . To avoid this GR is made in ur config as this .
rewdzzzz is full if correct

Compilation Error for import classes not found in generated Proxy Class

Hi,
We are generating java classes for the COM dll using JCOM com2java compiler.
We are getting a compilation error for import class not found when compiling the
generated Proxy java source code. It can't find the com.bea.jcom.Dispatch class that
the generated Proxy java source code extends. It also can't find com.bea.jcom.Variant
or com.bea.jcom.Param. These are interfaces or data types or classes used by COM
library.
I added weblogic.jar to my class path and the only Dispatch class i found inside
the weblogic.jar is com.linar.jintegra.Dispatch;
We have com objects for which we want to develop an EJB client to interface with
the COM object using JCOM with Native Mode disabled.
Any help on the compilation error..I tried changing the extends for Dispatch to com.linar.jintegra.Dispatch
but the other errors are still there.
To begin with, I think the generated code should not refer to any of the COM data
types.
Any help please.
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
I resolved the other errors by changing all references from com.bea.jcom.Variant
etc to com.linar.jintegra.class name..all were present under the com.linar.jintegra
package.
Thank you all anyways,

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

Function Module to Generate Outbound IDOC for Sales Documents

Hello Experts,
Can someone please help me, I need to know which function module to use in order to generate the outbound IDOC for sales documents. Some of the fm's I have come across are the following:
IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS, but actually for Purchase Orders
IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP, but did not generate any IDocs for my sample Sales Order.
