Help with PDF settings in InDesign for Newspaper print

Hi I work for a newspaper and until recently we have done the newspaper layout in Pagemaker. We finally changed to InDesign. I am now at the point where I have to export to PDF. What would be the best to use, export as PDF or printing to postscript? I'm not exactly sure what PDF setting to use if I do export it? With Pagemaker I used to print to a
Postscript printer

I suggest you ask the person that will recieve your file, what suits him or her best.
If it's a PDF exported from InDesign, you could even ask for a definition file to import (see screen shot for the menu item to select), so that you don't need to make all settings yourself, but get them correct from the start.
Best regards
Andreas

Help with PDF formsmaking them work for Windows users

I'm using a new user of Acrobat 8.0.0 and having a helluva time figuring out how to make PDF forms that work for Windows users.
I can make the forms okay and Mac users can fill them out (using either Preview or Reader), and I get them emailed to me just fine. But all of the PC users that I send them to tell me that they "can't save them."
Here's a test PDF I've created (with just a few plain fields in it):
http://www.braintoniq.com/dropbox/test.pdf
Can someone who's got XP tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or what I can tell my XP users how to save it and be able to email it back with their text.
thank you!

tuqqer;
Worked on my Firefox browser PDF plug-in running XP on my MBP. Opened the completed form in Adobe Reader 9 Windows and all looked fine. Just a note on your fields; date field not properly formatted and once filled, it has the same name as the NAME field. Just make sure our fields are named separately.
Best.

WRT310N: Help with DMZ/settings (firmware 1.0.09) for wired connection

Hello. I have a WRT310N and have been having a somewhat difficult time with my xbox 360's connection. I have forwarded all the necessary ports (53, 80, 88, 3074) for it to run, and tried changing MTU and what-not.
I don't know if I have DMZ setup incorrectly, or if it's my settings.
Setup as follows:
PCX2200 modem connected via ethernet to WRT310N.
The WRT310N has into ethernet port 1 a WAP54G, and then upstairs (so that my Mother's computer can get a strong signal) I have another WAP54G that I believe receives its signal from the downstairs 54G.
In the back of the WRT310N, I have my computer connected via ethernet port 3, and my Xbox 360 connected via ethernet port 4.
Now, I first figured I just have so many connections tied to the router and that is the reason for being so slow. However, when I unplug all the other ethernet cords and nothing is connected wirelessly, except for my Xbox connected to ethernet port 4, it is still poor. Also, with everything connected (WAP54G and other devices wirelessly) I get on my PC and run a speedtest. For the sake of advice, my speedtests I am running on my PC are (after 5 tests) averagely 8.5 Mbps download, and 1.00 Mbps upload, with a ping of 82ms.
Here is an image of the results:
http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/721106714.png
Let me add a little more detail of my (192.168.1.1) settings for WRT310N.
For starters, my Father's IT guy at his workplace set up this WRT310N and WAP54G's. So some of these settings may be his doing. I just don't know which.
"Setup" as Auto-configurations DHCP. I've added my Xbox's IP address to the DHCP reservation the IP of 192.168.1.104. This has (from what I've noticed) stayed the same for days.
MTU: Auto, which stays at 1500 when I check under status.
Advanced Routing: NAT routing enabled, Dynamic Routing disabled.
Security: Disabled SPI firewall, UNchecked these: Filter Anonymous Internet Requests, Multicast, and Internet NAT redirection.
VPN passthrough: All 3 options are enabled (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP)
Access Restrictions: None.
Applications and Gaming: Single port forwarding has no entries. Port Range Forwarding I have the ports 53 UDP/TCP, 88 UDP, 3074 UDP/TCP, and 80 TCP forwarded to IP 192.168.1.104 enabled. (192.168.1.104 is the IP for my xbox connected via ethernet wired that is in DHCP reserved list)
Port Range Triggering: It does not allow me to change anything in this page.
DMZ: I have it Enabled. This is where I am a bit confused. It says "Source IP Address" and it has me select either "Any IP address" or to put entries to the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX to XXX fields. I have selected use any IP address. Then the source IP area, it says "Destination:" I can do either "IP address: 192.168.1.XXX" or "MAC address:" Also, under MAC Address, it says DHCP Client Table and I went there and saw my Xbox under the DHCP client list (It shows up only when the Xbox is on) and selected it.
Under QoS: WMM Enabled, No acknowledgement disabled.
Internet Access Priority: Enabled. Upstream Bandwith I set it to Manual and put 6000 Kbps. I had it set on Auto before, but I changed it. I have no idea what to put there so I just put a higher number.
Then I added for Internet Access Priority a Medium Priority for Ethernet Port 4 (the port my xbox is plugged into).
Administration: Management: Web utility access: I have checked HTTP, unchecked HTTPS.
Web utility access via Wireless: Enabled. Remote Access: Disabled.
UPnp: Enabled.
Allow Users to Configure: Enabled.
Allow users to Disable Internet Access: Enabled.
Under Diagnostics, when I try and Ping test 192.168.1.104 (xbox when on and connected to LIVE), I get:
PING 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104): 24 data bytes
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
--- 192.168.1.104 data statistics ---
5 Packets transmitted, 0 Packets received, 100% Packet loss
Also, when I do Traceroute Test for my Xbox's IP, I just keep getting:
traceroute to 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 * * * 192.168.1.1 Request timed out.
2 * * * 192.168.1.1 Request timed out.
As for the Wireless Settings, it is all on the default settings with Wi-Fi Protected setup Enabled.
To add, I have tried connecting my modem directly to the Xbox and my connection is much improved. I have no difficulty getting the NAT open, for it seems my settings are working for that. Any help with these settings would be VERY much appreciated.

I own 2 of these routers (one is a spare) with the latest firmware and I have been having trouble with them for over a year. In my case the connection speed goes to a crawl and the only way to get it back is to disable the SPI firewall. Rebooting helps for a few minutes, but the problem returns. All of the other fixes recommended on these forums did not help. I found out the hard way that disabling the SPI Firewall also closes all open ports ignoring your port forwarding settings. If you have SPI Firewall disabled, you will never be able to ping your IP from an external address. Turn your SPI Firewall back on and test your Ping.

I need help with setting up time machine for backup

I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.

I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer. Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem. Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct. Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi,
Sincerely appreciate your help. Running Windows 7 on a Dell XPS420. System has been very stable for years. Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems. The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints.
Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
Will let you know how things go.

PDF as default selection for Select printing cotrol (for Web)

Hi
Can someone point me to righ direction? What we are trying to do is, in Infoview, set PDF as default selection for "Select printing Control (for Web)", so that each user does not have to do this in preferences in infoview.
Is it possible to do so? If yes, how?
Thank you
Regards

Take a look for a .vbs sample that synchs the ADMINISTRATOR preferences to all users on the BOE platform.
You can schedule this as a PROGRAM OBJECT in InfoView so that it runs on a regular schedule to apply the change to new users.

Help with sequence settings in final cut for project with 2 different frame rates.

I really need help with this one! I finished editing a wedding video and realized after exporting that it was filmed in two different frame rates. This has happened before but I converted the footage to match and fixed the problem. In this case, the footage is part 30fps and part 60fps. The majority of it was filmed in 30fps. I cannot convert the 60 to 30 without the slow motion effect which I do not need so I have to find a way to burn this to a DVD without it looking messed up! The video was shot with two Canon 7ds if that helps anything. The first sequence I set at 29.97 and exported as a quicktime movie and all the footage filmed in 60 looked perfect and the footage in 30 looked jittery. Then I tried the sequence at 59.97 and it switched. The footage filmed at 30 looked good and the 60 was cropped in. I am so confused! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help Michael! The frame rates are 29.97 1920 x 1080 and 59.94 1280 x 720. I did a control click on the clips in final cut and viewed the item properties/format to find this info. The Canon 7d is a DSLR but we use it for video. As for my workflow, the first thing I do is import the footage onto my computer and then drag the clips into mpeg streamclip. I choose apple prores 422 and uncheck the interlaced box. Once this is done I import the .mov files into final cut. The sequence automatically sets itself to whatever clip I drag in first so it originally set as 29.97. When I finished editing wedding video, I export it to a quicktime movie and choose whatever settings match the sequence, in this case apple prores 422 1920 x 1080 30p. Once that is done I use iDVD to burn the discs.
I knew something was wrong when I watched the quicktime movie and all the 30fps footage was jittery and most of the cross dissolves looked strange. That's when I figured out the footage was at two different frame rates. What I don't understand is why whatever the sequence is set at in final cut, the clips of the opposite frame rate look right but the clips set at the matching frame rate don't???

First time using inDesign for multi-page web design. Trying to "print" a pdf or jpeg to show client. But it comes in blank (white) but file size is 1.8mb. help!, First time using inDesign for multi-page web design. Trying to "print" a pdf or jpeg to show

Hello all,
I appreciate your willingness to help.
Did a test. Copy and pasted a page of my graphics into a new indd file and into a new master. New file works fine for exporting jpeg as well as pdf.
Must just be something wrong with the original. gremlins. No time to wonder why.
but....Thank you again.

Help with numbering lists in Indesign CS5.5 for epub file

I am working with a book in Indesign CS5.5 to export it as an epub file. I have been working on formatting the text and I have run into a small problem. Throughout the book there are multiple lists within the texts that need to be numbered. Each list, however, must start over at number 1 and not be continued on from the previous list. The lists are all unrelated and I need them to be completely separate. I used "Type", "Bullets and Numbering", then "Apply Numbering" to begin with. This had each list in the correct order. However, I also created a paragraph style with the correct font, size, indentation, and spacing that must be applied to all the lists before exporting. When I do this, everything keeps its correct formatting except that some of the lists continue their numbering from the previous list. For example, on page 1 I might have a list of four things all formatted correctly and number 1 through 4. On page 3, I have another list, of completely unrelated items. I therefore would like this list to be started over at number 1, but when I apply the paragraph style to it, it starts at 5, picking up where the last list left off. I need to keep these as the assigned paragraph style but it messes up the numbering. If anyone could help me figure out how to keep this from happening I would greatly appreciate it!

If you don't mind cracking open the ePub and editing template.css, then adding rules like:
h2 {
page-break-before: always;
should force each paragraph whose style is mapped to an h2 tag on to a new page. Whether or not it works will depend on how good the ePub reader is at implementing CSS. It seems to work for Digital Editions and also Kindle, if you convert ePub to Kindle format.
This doesn't help at all if you are trying to force sections into separate XHTML files, though.

Help with FMLE Settings for Sports Broadcast

Hello,
I am in need of some help tweaking my settings in FMLE. I put on various sports broadcasts, but one of my clients has limited bandwidth (avg ~2.5-3mbps upload).
I'd like to keep the output pixel size at 640x360 so that it takes up our entire player and doesn't letter box it, but with the larger video size I sometimes run in to either buffering,or pixelated video depending on how the bandwidth is that particular day. I'd like to stream between 800k-1000k.
I am using VP6 codec and using an Osprey Card as my capture device.
Some of my questions are:
1) Should I capture my video bigger than 640x360 and have FMLE shrink it, or capture it at the same size I want to output it at?
2) In the Format advanced encoder settings, What should I set as my keyframe, quality, and datarate window. Ideally I would like to use keyframes every 1-2 seconds because I work with fast-paced video, but I know that sends a lot of extra data. Same with Datarate Window. Can someone help explain the significance of this one.
3)Under the output panel, I am not currently using the auto adjust function. Should I enable this when my bandwidth takes a hit? If so, which is preferable, dropping frames or degrading quality? Any explanation wuold be very helpful.
4)Should I deinterlace my video? We have a 3-camera shoot using Canon XL2's and a DataVideo Switcher. Everything is analog SD.
I am able to drop by bitrate down to 600K and the stream does not buffer, but it starts to get pixelated. I would think that 3mbps upload bandwidth is enough to stream at 800k. Any help adjusting my settings to shapen the imagine would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1) Should I capture my video bigger than 640x360 and have FMLE shrink it, or capture it at the same size I want to output it at?
--> Always capture at the same size, unless the device/card doesn't support that size.
2) In the Format advanced encoder settings, What should I set as my keyframe, quality, and datarate window. Ideally I would like to use keyframes every 1-2 seconds because I work with fast-paced video, but I know that sends a lot of extra data. Same with Datarate Window. Can someone help explain the significance of this one.
--> Data rate window is useful for unexpected source data that might not encode well within the specified bit-rates. For example, if you set data rate window to "tiny" and a complex frame (source data) arrives, then encoder will not allocate some extra bits to encode that frame in good quality. But if you set the window to huge, then that complex frame will be encoded in good quality by allocating more bits to it. So, basically, the "delta" around the specified bit-rate increases on moving from "tiny" to "huge" data rate window. Your output bit-rate will vary more in case of "huge" setting.
3)Under the output panel, I am not currently using the auto adjust function. Should I enable this when my bandwidth takes a hit? If so, which is preferable, dropping frames or degrading quality? Any explanation wuold be very helpful.
--> I can explain the difference between the 2 options and you can experiment with both and stick to one, which gives a better user experience under your bandwidth conditions.
a. Once the auto-adjust feature triggers, Drop frames option will intelligently drop some frames. As a result of this, you might observe video stalling depending upon the severity of the bandwidth conditions.
b. Once the auto-adjust feature triggers, Degrade quality option with a min. video bit-rate value of say 500 kbps will try to encode all the frames within this 500 kbps limit. As you are reducing the bit-rate from the original value of say 800 kbps, the quality is bound to degrade. If you check the "preserve per frame quality" option then the encoder will encode >=50% of the frames within the specified bit-rate of 500 kbps. As the no. of frames are less the per frame quality will be better than the previous case. There is a possiblity that even after degrading quality, the buffer is exceeding the given limit then the degrade quality option will automatically switch to the drop frames option.
4)Should I deinterlace my video? We have a 3-camera shoot using Canon XL2's and a DataVideo Switcher. Everything is analog SD.
--> Deinterlace option is only available for video sizes >= 640x480.

Help with PAL settings for Sequence

Hi –
I’m having some issues with a PAL project and need some help with the right sequence settings. I have 3 camera angles that are all PAL that I am trying to edit together in a multi-clip sequence and everytime I add anything to the timeline I am getting the red render bar. I've tried all different PAL settings but nothing is working. Here are the specs of the DV clips:
Frame Size : 720 X 576
Vid Rate – 25 FPS
Compressor DV-PAL
Data Rate – 6.9mb/sec
Pixel Aspect – PAL – CCIR-601
Audio 48Khz
Aud Format – 32bit – Floating Point.

From the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup. What setting is selected there?
From the menu bar: Sequence > Settings. What setting is selected there?
In both cases they should be set to DV PAL.

How do I use an Edge Animate project with SVG files in InDesign for DPS output?

Is there any way to include an Edge Animate web content using .svg files in InDesign for output to DPS?
Edge Animate works great with InDesign, except for when you're using SVG files. I've worked with SVG files on the web successfully (writing .htaccess files and such), but it seems like InDesign doesn't like them.
This is pretty important because I don't want to have to design multiple renditions on the DPS suite. Currently I have it setup as a PDF format (DPS) and that scales all of the vector-based type perfectly. It would be wonderful if the animations could also be in a vector format so that when the iPad (3) users see the designs, they will scale naturally through the PDF framework.
Any advice would be invaluable.
Thanks!

I need help with setting photoshop so the images are the best quality on screen and for websites and printing and how I can change that etc I've heard different things and I just need some clarification and advice.
Obviously I'm sure some of you wont want to give personal details out that's fine but I'm generally just in need of some advice, let me know if you can help:)
