How do I save only the VISIBLE objects in AI to Pdf or jpeg.

I have multiple layers but only want to save the currently visible elements objects out in a PDF or JPEG,
how do I do this without having to tediously double click each layer and choose "do not print" (layer).
would be nice to have a preference in prefs to "not print hidden layers".

You can choose to have your non-visable Illustrator layers preserved but invisible in your PDF, or removed completely. To remove them, select Acrobat 5 compatibility or earlier, or deselect the preserve layers option. If you include your invisible layers there is a possibility they will re-appear in some PDF viewers.

EPS Javascript saves more than visible object

In prior versions of illustrator we used a script that basically saved the visible bounds of a masked object as an EPS file. With the upgrade to CS4 and Multiple Artboards this save function (EPSSaveOptions) no longer does the same visible bounds. I have read several post of similar issues, but what I am asking is:
In there a way to make the visible bounds of the eps file equal the artboard on the active artboard only? The artboard seems to be driving the crop box. When I manually save the file as EPS the visible bounds are correct. When I save from the script it is not? As with other posts I do not want to go backwards within compatibility...I would like to keep the file at the CS4 level. What command am I missing? We have tried making the crop box = visibleBounds to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated...my last resort is to report this bug to Adobe to see if they have a patch.

*later edit* why dun u just get first artboard of the document.artboards collection, set it's bounds to the object you want to export and set artboardRange of the EPSSaveOptions to 1 ... this will export only the visible bounds of the object.
Something like:
var myWorkingArtboard = app.activeDocument.artboards[0];
//masked object takes my mind to something in a clipping mask
for(j = app.activeDocument.pathItems.length - 1; j >=0; j--) {
     if(app.activeDocument.pathItems[j].clipping ==true) {
          //we just found our clipping mask; the bounds of the pageItem must be the visible bounds of the clipped object so...
          myWorkingArtboard.artboardRect = app.activeDocument.pathItems[j].geometricBounds; //because stroke and whatever else will not be part of the clipping mask
var myEpsSaveOpts = new EPSSaveOptions();
myEpsSaveOpts.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
myEpsSaveOpts.artboardRange = "1";
//rest of the export code here

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:

How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?

I sync various Aperture photo albums to my IPad and iPhone. The problem is that when I have 'stacked' images (eg. one image showing in the album and two other copies 'hidden' underneath), all of the photos in the stack are copied to the ipad and iPhone. So instead of seeing just one version of an image, I see as many as are in the stack. How can I sync ONLY the top photo in the stack?
Thanks for your help!

I solved my own problem.
The sync problem seemed to only occur on smart albums. There is a new check box option in Aperture 3 when making a smart album: "sync stack pick only." One click and the problem is solved!

How can I print ONLY the active document?

Whenever I go to File/Print the darn PSE 9 program sends all of the working files in the bin to the printer. I've searched online for 2 hours now looking for an answer.
I like to work with having several to many files in the 'bin' and prefer to only print the active file I'm currently working on without having to close the 'working files' before I can print. How can I print ONLY the active document or file in the project bin? Please help, I've upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 9 and really like the updated features, but this one pain in the neck default is getting the best of me.

Thanks for your help, that works nicely. It is good to have control of the printer again.

How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

How can I print only the attachment without the email content

How can I print only the attachment without the email content. Every time I send to print, It prints the email itself with the attachment- can I cancel that?

Hello Riklama,
When you first open the attachment (e.g. on your phone) than you can mail only that attachment. Works fine with my husbands blackberry.

Remember that the month is only the display, and the Full Date & Time is still there. If I change the format to reveal what is behind the curtain:
