How do I update interactive links across a document created from importing other indd pages?

Hello! First time writing up a query to please bear with me!
Situation
- I am creating singe page templates for various uses (cover page variations/index page variations/content page variations/etc…)
- The index page has all the chapters listed which are prepared to be linked interactively
- All the other pages have a single drop down interactive menu at the top which effectively have the same links as what the index page offers
The idea is for the client to then create a document by pulling in the individual pages he requires at that moment (it is for client presentations… sales pitches, etc.).
Problem
- Not all the projects they will create with these individual pages grouped up will be the same. Some will have longer menus, others fewer pages, others longer titles, etc…
- The client has very limited indesign knowledge so cannot be expected to update multiple areas of layout/code etc.
- It can be imagined that they can learn how to fix one set of links (say, index page) after they have updated the content, BUT then this would have to reflect across the rest of the document's top menu items...
To summarise
As you may have guessed it, the idea is for the client to have a sexy clean design with interactive menus which vary slightly from document to document (which they have created from single indd pages grouped together (not in a book though)).
They would implement their text/image changes to the template elements and then export the whole thing as an interactive PDF with the menus (index and top) linking to the right (updated) places. They don't have the time or the knowledge to go nuts changing all the links everywhere...
Should I just inform the client that they should either crash learn indesign or forget it? Are they dreaming?
I hope someone out there has some pearls of wisdom for me!!!
Thanks!

In Pages '09 copy and paste the Thumbnails.
In Pages 5 you will just have to copy and paste the content and fix up the layout in the new document.

How do I prevent nav links at bottom of site from wrapping?

Mac OS 10.6.7
Dreamweaver CS5.5
How do I prevent nav links at bottom of site from wrapping? And how do I right justify the links?
I changed something in CSS and now the footer links are wrapping. Previously, the links were at right/bottom of each page. When the browser window was made too narrow to display them, they would disappear along with the righthand side of the page. Now they wrap into multiple lines and expand out of the footer.
HTML:
<div class="footer">
      <span class="footerAlignLeft">© 2011 Dorsay & Easton LLP. All rights reserved.</span>
      <span class="footerAlignRt"><a href="index.html" title="Dorsay & Easton Home Page">  Home  </a><a href="index.html">|</a><a href="practice.html" title="Dorsay & Easton Practice Areas">  Practice Areas  </a>|<a href="team.html" title="Dorsay & Easton Attorneys">  The Team  </a><a href="contact.html">|  Contact Us  </a>|<a href="sitemap.html">  Sitemap  </a></span>
</div>
CSS:
/* ~~ The footer ~~ */
.footer {
     position: relative;/* this gives IE6 hasLayout to properly clear */
     clear: both; /* this clear property forces the .container to understand where the columns end and contain them */

Rather than posting code snippets, it's best if you upload your problem page and post a link here so we can view the live page in our browsers.

Hi flaviusjack,
If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.

How to get the version no of a document created/updated in KM

Hi All,
We are currently working on SAP 7.0 SP16.
We have used the KM API to store our documents into the KM repositories.
The problem we are facing here is related to the version no of the documents created.
I will explain this with an example :
I have created a document "test.txt" --> default version no is 1
I updated the same twice now there are 3 version for this document 1, 2 & 3.
Now if I delete the version no 1 then there are only 2 document versions remaining in the system, but the Portal still displays them as 2 and 3.
Now when I want to read the version history of this document I get an IResource object for each version but I am not able to find any means through which I can retrieve the version no of the IResource object which is currently being read.
Can someone please help me the information regarding how to retrieve the version no from the IResource object returned whenever a document is read using KM API.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Manish

Hi,
try something like this:
String strRevisionID = null;
if (resource.isVersioned()) {
IVersionHistory versions = resource.getVersionHistory();
if (versions != null) {
IResource version = versions.get(i);
strRevisionID = actResource.getRevisionID();
hope this helps,

How do I update my contacts on my MacBook pro from my iPhone or iMac?

my contacts on my MacBook pro are out of date. How do I update them from my iPhone or Imac?

Hey there dgt11,
It seems like you may have missed that section of the article I provided, so I will go ahead and highlight it for you:
OS X Lion or later
You can use these steps with Contacts on OS X Mountain Lion or later or Address Book on OS X Lion. After each step, check to see if the issue still exists.
Make sure iCloud Contacts is on
Choose Apple () > System Preferences, click iCloud, and select Contacts.
See which version of OS X you're using
Make sure that you're using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Learn how to see which version of OS X you're using.
Check your Internet connection
Try to go to www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud contacts won't update in Contacts or Address Book. Get help with your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Safari requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers.
Check your account details
Choose Apple () > System Preferences, and click iCloud. Make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Refresh Contacts or Address Book
If recent changes don't appear in Contacts or Address Book, try to refresh by quitting and reopening the app.
Check your settings
Make sure that the contacts are syncing through iCloud and not through a third-party, such as Google or Yahoo. iCloud won't sync contacts that are associated with a different service.
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Click All [iCloud Account Name] in the left sidebar.
Search for the contact that wasn't syncing properly.
If the contact isn't visible, then the contact exists in a third-party account, not iCloud.
You can import the contact from a third-party account into iCloud.
If recent changes to contacts on OS X don't appear on your other devices and you're syncing contacts with multiple accounts on your device (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo), make sure that iCloud is your default account for Contacts:
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
On the General tab, make sure that your iCloud account is the default.
After setting up iCloud Contacts, you might need to quit and reopen Contacts or Address Book on your Mac. Then make sure that you set up your account correctly in Contacts or Address Book:
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
Click Accounts.
Make sure that your iCloud account has the correct name in the Apple ID field.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on
Quit Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Apple () > System Preferences and click iCloud.
Deselect Contacts.
Click Keep Contacts.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Select Contacts.
Open Contacts (or Address Book).
Restart your computer
Restart your computer and check the issue.

How do I link to a spreadsheet (Numbers) from a word file (Pages)?

I'm doing an assignment for a computers class that is based more around Windows applications than Mac applications. The assignment itself is quite easy, except that I need to link to a spreadsheet that I completed previously. However, whenever I attempt to insert a hyperlink, it only allows me to link to anothre Pages document, not any other type of file. How can I make it link to a Numbers file?

The answer is: You don't! If you need the Numbers document why not do all of it there. It works like a Page Layout document. Take a look at the supplied templates to see how it works.

How to automatically update Smart LINKED Object

Hi.
This is my first post here, I'm French, so excuse any English mistake i may do.
I'm not an artist / designer / ..., still new about using image software editing like photoshop.
So i downloaded Photoshop CC to try it because i wanted to do something on my spare time.
I want to render digitaly a card collection based on a online Collectible Card Game (Duel of champions if you wanna know).
For this I downloaded their card art from their site.
Then i want to add several effect / filter to render them nicely.
So i read and watch many tutorial in this purpose.
I ended with a good result for 1 card.
Here is an example :

For this I downloaded their card art from their site.
Then i want to add several effect / filter to render them nicely.
So i read and watch many tutorial in this purpose.
I ended with a good result for 1 card.
Here is an example :
So what i did :
I get a source card art image, adding its red border, embossed it to get relief, adding a gloss effect in 3 different layers (the card art, the border and the gloss effect). Than i duplicate all this layers, swap them vertically and moved down to get a reflection.
I added a gradient to this new group of layers to have a nice fading effect to the reflection.
As I do not want to redo all the process again and again if I change main the source card Art, I want the reflexion to automatically update.
This was done using Smart object, both main source card Art and the (vertically swapped) reflexion card art using the same object storing my different main source card art.
So when i change in this object the main source card art used, it automatically change both the rendered card and its corresponding reflexion.
And then i Added a displacement filter to simulate a water reflection.
And the first problem (solved by now) occurred :
If i want to apply a filter to the group of layers corresponding to the rendered reflexion card, Photoshop have to convert and merged the whole group of layers into another new smart object and then apply a smart filter onto it. That worked but i lost the auto updating of the reflexion as the previous conversion have made Photoshop create in fact a whole new duplicated object storing a my different main source art.
So i partially resolved This by using Smart LINKED object instead of Smart object. I say partially because it is not really fully automated anymore.
Now if I change the main Source card Art to render a new one, I have to "manually" save file / update smart object to get the reflection updated.
I kinda accelerate this using a action performing a batch of saves to get a "save all" options (that clearly miss in photoshop). But for this i still have to open all my smarted linked object in order to apply the "Save All" batch.
But know I want to generalize the process to cards left, and render my whole card collection.
So i created a template based on what i've done so far using in this template Smart LINKED Object for the Main source card art and the reflected one. By the Way I exported the Reflection group in a PSD file, and refered to it as another Smart LINKED Object in my template. Doing so i'm sure Photoshop no more use a temporary PSB object correspond to the converted / merged reflexion Smart Object (remember : created in order to apply a smart Filter on it).
So what Happen now ?
I create a new testing psd file in witch i embed several new smart objects each one is an occurence to my template. Here i have to used smart Object and NOT smart LINKED Object because if so i'll always end up with the same rendered card several times. I have to get Phososhop create it own temporary duplicated object so a modification to one don't affect all the others after "Save All" batch on the corresponding working card.
So with what I have now, if I want to change 1 of the rendered card, i go its corresponding (duplicated) template object and from there i access again my LINKED object storing all my main source card Art.
I change to what source card art I want, and I have to open the reflection smart LINKED Object too in order to apply the "SAve All" batch.
Here is the "fun" (issue) thing : I have to apply the batch 3 time in a row to have the rendered card changed in my main testing psd file. I suppose saving 3 time time propagated the change along the Smart LINKED Object chain.
AND I have to make sure ONLY the corresponding smart (LINKED) Object file are opened before. If another file from a different rendered card is opened too the change will also be propagated to it and so having a duplicated rendered card. (I only want each card rendered once, but using the same template to avoid repetitive work).
So I explained in detail, but maybe not clearly, my situation and the step i went through.
TLDR
To summarize : I have a collections of Card art (jpeg).
I created a Template applying effect to render 1 card.
I created another template appliying same effect to render 1 REFLECTED card.
In both i use the same Smart LINKED Object that Store my collection on Card Art.
I make another Smart LINKED Object in the first template that reference the second one.
So with my first template I can update the rendered card and its rendered reflexion after changing the main source card art in the subsequent smart LINKED Object that store my whole cards art. I have to had all corresponding Smart LINKED Object file OPENED and save them all to have th updated result.
So not really automatic.
Then I want to render my whole card collection with effect and reflexion.
I create in my project a duplicate of my first template for each card to be rendered.
Then I have to open ONLY all subsequent corresponding Smart LINKED(or not) Object file of current working rendered card and change the main source card art, save all the file (several time to propagate change) to properlly update the current rendered card.
I have to do this for EACH of my duplicated template in order to render EACH of my cards.
Definitively not automatic process, and prone to errors.
Do you know a way to fully automatically render my card collection ? The only thing I want to do is chose one time the main source card art for each rendered card.
Finally another way to explain this issue and maybe get an answer is to instead explain simply what I want to do :
I have a collection of (jpeg) card art from an online card game.
I want to render them all with effect (gloss, emboss border, faded and water filtered reflection).
I want to do this automatically.
The only thing i manually want to do is chose the card art to be rendered for each of the card i want to render in my collection.
Here is an image of what i want based on what i've, not automatically, done so far :
Thanks for any help from photophop professional here.

Hi,
The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
-Initial loads:
Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
-Delta loads:
This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
Also refer the foll thread:
Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

How do I update all the records in a table from the contents of another table?

Ok some situation information, I have a pervasive database that runs our accounting software that I am pulling a product list from. I have that list stored in a table in SQL. From time to time we update the records in the pervasive database and
I want to be able to pull those changes into the SQL table. I don't want to drop the table and recreate it because if a product is no longer active in the pervasive database it will not be returned by the query (if I return all the products even the
inactive ones I will get thousands of records rather than just a few hundred) and I do not want to loose the products from the table that are now inactive.
So what I want to be able to do is pull the list from pervasive, compare it to the list that exists in SQL and update any changed records, add any new records, and leave any now missing records alone(missing from the pervasive list but present in the SQL
list). I have no trouble pulling the records from pervasive (now) but I am a little stumped on how to do the rest. I am not sure if this is a situation to use MERGE or not. I also do not really need this to be done on a regular basis as the
changes do not happen often enough for that, the ability to manually trigger it would be enough.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi David,
lets say you want to go with the lookup transformation.
lets say u want to move the data from server A table A1 to Server B table B1
What you need to do is the following:
Cofigure the Lookup options as follows:
- In general -> Specify how to handle rows with no macthing entries -> "Redirect Rows to no Match Output"
- In Connection -> Set the ole db connection to the Server B and select the table B you want to lookup the values in your case the table where you want to input the changes
- In columns -> link the product column from table A to product column in table B. And do not select any rows to output.
- now your component is ready next you need to input. so when u connect your lookup to the destination component You will get an option to select which output you want to use - use "Lookup No Match Output".
this will actually just allow you to add only new items only to the table B.

How do I use mobile link to view documents on more than one device?

I have documents on my iPhone and want to send them to my iPad using Mobile Link. How do I do this?

Hi bephys,
For this you can simply upload the doc to files.acrobat.com and send the link to the recipient via Adobe Send.
Anyone having the link would be able to access the doc.
Alternatives would be Google Drive or One Drive.

How do I share a link to a file and have the other person download the file without having to add them explicitly as a member, like Dropbox does?

With Dropbox, I right click on a file within my designated Dropbox folder and choose share Dropbox link. This copies a unique URL that I can send to anyone to then download that file and that file only. I do not have to add people to my access list to allow the download.
How do I do this with Oracle Documents? I have one off large files that I prefer not to send via email, however, I do not want to add everybody in the company as a member to my access list.

There is an option called Public Links which allows you to do this. Select your item and click Share. This throws a pop-up dialog. On the left side of the dialog you may have 3 options - Members, Member Links, Public Links. If the Public Links option is not there, then your service administrator has disallowed them from use. The Public Links option is a controversial one in the enterprise space. DropBox's original offering had no qualms with offering public links because the content was guaranteed to be the property of the dropbox user. However, at enterprise level, the content belongs to the owning enterprise, so service administrators may elect not to allow this feature. This is down to your organisation.
If you see the Public Links option, click on it and the right side of the popup dialog will change. You can specify:
a name for each link you create (so you can keep track of which link is which),
Link Permissions, only the following are available for obvious reasons - Viewer, Downloader, Contributor
Link Expiration Date - a date after which the link will not work
Access Code - a pass code which you can divulge to expected recipients by alternative means of your own choosing. This access code guarantees a measure of security on a link which could otherwise be used by anybody
You can create several public links for the same item, and each of those can have the above settings, so you could have one link for downloaders and a separate link for contributors, for example. Each link can then be sent, either by copy/paste or through the email button to the right of the link. You can also modify the link using the pen icon, so you can unexpire it or reset its expiry date. You can also delete a link using the trash button next to it.
I hope this explains the public link feature.
Regards,
Frank.
