How to: Edit an INDT InDesign Template file?

Hi,
I am currently working on a packaging redesign project.
I have received an InDesign template from a client that was previously created by another design house. They have added their logo and company details to the template, which I would like to remove in order to add my own.
I have no idea how to edit the material in the template.
Can anyone please advise me?
Thanks in advance.

Its not working Im afraid...
The previous template has guides and crop marks etc, along with the contact details from the previous firm that I would like to shift or move.
Following the steps you've described opens the template, but the content is still not able to be edited.
Ive checked the layers palette to see if the layer is locked etc, but they are not. I simply cant edit the content.

How to save the current Indesign defaults file?

Hi, I've tried following the Indesign Classroom in a book but I find it left a lot to be desired for anyone new to this e.g ME!!!!. So can someone please tell me how I can save the current InDesign defaults file on a windows and if you can please do so like you would, for lack of a better word or term, an idiot because I'm fitting that description pretty well right now. Any help will be greatly appreciated and you will forever in my mind be a god, thank you =DDDDD.

Hi, im not too sure (I thought it was a stock standard thing, sorry) so I'll fust give you the instructions my book has.
To save the curren InDesign Defaults file, Follow these steps:
1, Quit Adobe InDesigns CS5.
2, Locate The Indesigns Defaults file.
. In Windows, the InDesign Defaults file is located in the Documents and Settings/Users/Username/Library/ Application Data/ Adobe/ InDesign/ Version 7.0/en_US folder.
3, Drag the Indesign Defaults file to another folder on you hard drive.
When you launch Adobe Indesign CS5 after moving the InDesigns Defaults file to another folder, a new InDesign Defaults file is automatically created and all prefrences and defaults are reset to their original factory setting.
Okay that's all of it and as far I can get is to the app data, for some reason my notebook doesnt have it and I've been trying to find other ways of getting to it but im having no luck. I would really like to avoid the Ctrl+ Alt+Shift thing because I'll apparently lose any saved settings that I might want to keep.
Hopefully that all makes sense, thank you for responding and your time =3.

There are no .bat files in a Unix environment

How to Edit PDF from InDesign

I have a user running Adobe Indesign CS2 saving a document as a PDF. They then want to give that PDF to User2 and have them be able to make simple changes to the text in that PDF using Adobe Acrobat 8. When User2 tries to edit the text in the PDF however, they receive the error "All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font." What is the best way to ensure that User2 can edit the text in the PDF? Do they need to install the appropriate fonts? Does Indesign have the ability to simply embed the fonts with the PDF so it can be edited by anyone?

>What is the best way to ensure that User2 can edit the text in the PDF?
Have them use InDesign and suply the InDesign file.
What you are trying to do is beyond what is intended using Acrobat. Even if they have the font, their success may be limited.

How do I recover an indesign CC file which is saved, but keeps crashing when opened?

I have been working on a file for a while, regularly saving etc. Now it keeps crashing when I open it.
How can I get the file to open properly?

first see Remove minor corruption by exporting and if that crashes, too see if the blind export script at Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK. will work.

How can I set the workgroup templates file location in Office 2013 to point at a folder stored on Sharepoint (2010/2013)?

Hi All,
Been doing quite a bit of research on this but drawn nothing but blanks or alternative suggestions, none of which are viable.
So the outline of the issue:
Deploying Office 2013 suite to organisation and wanting to have custom templates available for users to choose from, but want those templates to be centrally stored and managed on a SharePoint site.
In Word 2013, for example, when you create a new document, you are presented with a page to choose from 'Featured' templates (or blank document)
So, if you wanted to have custom corporate templates, you could modify the file location for work group templates, thus creating a Custom Office Templates folder locally on your PC.
Great. This means when you select 'New' in Word 2013 you can pick from the 'Featured' templates, or the 'Personal' templates area.
However, I have a collection of test corporate templates (for Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc). These are stored on a SharePoint site internally.
If I try to modify the work group templates location in Word 2013 to point towards my SharePoint site (or any HTTP address for that matter) it won't work.
I know that I could point it towards a Network Share location instead, but I don't want to do that.
Is there any way of getting it to point towards a SharePoint site, any way of modifying it? Or perhaps an even better solution that I could use?
Any help, thoughts or ideas would be massively appreciated! And forgive me if any of my logic is off, but it does seem like this should be a straight forward thing to do given that Office and SharePoint are both developed by Microsoft and you
would like to think they would inherently have better links!
NOTE: Going to Office 365 is also not an option either!
Eagerly awaiting an answer from someone incredibly clever!

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your response but this is not what I was looking for.
Those articles relate to setting a default template in a SharePoint document or form library.
I will try to be more concise.
What I want is:
(1) For users to be able to load MS Word 2013 on their laptops/desktops (connected to corporate Wireless/LAN)
(2) Once they have opened MS Word 2013, I want them to be able to choose a template from the welcome screen. (There are MS Word Defaults like 'Blank Document' or 'Cover Letter' etc)
I want to add a second tab which is called 'Personal' or 'Corporate'.
(3) MS Word 2013 allows you to create custom WORD templates and save them locally on your machine (either in the default location for templates, or a user-specified custom location (e.g. My Documents, Desktop etc).
(4) In advanced settings, there is an option to modify file locations. This is where you can point MS Word 2013 towards the folder (locally) that contains the personal templates that you have designed which you want to use.
(5) QUESTION: Is there a way to have lots of corporate WORD templates (perhaps one for Marketing, Sales, Procurement, Project etc) - Basically LOTS of different templates all stored in one location on SHAREPOINT, or in a SharePoint document
library. THEN... once those templates (documents) are stored on SharePoint,
IS THERE A WAY to go back into the advanced settings within MS WORD 2013 and modify the file location for templates so that it points towards the SharePoint document library?
I want all the templates to open in MS Word 2013, not within a browser, and I don't want users to have to go to SharePoint to find a template, I want it to be integrated into their local MS Word 2013 so they can choose a corporate template the moment they
load up MS Word 2013.
When I have tried to modify the custom file location for templates, I can only set it to an address locally on my machine, or a network address (mapped network drive).
However, I do not want the templates to be stored on a shared network folder, I want them to be in a SharePoint Document Library.
The issue I have found is that I cannot enter a SharePoint Library URL as my file location, nor can I enter any HTTP address.
IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS?

How to edit 16bit TIFF image sequence file in FCP?

Dear all,
I have a number of 16 bit TIFF image sequence files (2048 x 1024 resolution) - some of them are RED footage, and others came directly from our f/x guy. We are going into a color correction session in a post house and we've been asked to provide a sequential 16 bit TIFF image sequence of the edited time line.
I need to do a cross dissolve b/w most of the clips I have. I have created image sequence QT movie (reference files) from the TIFF images. Though they play fine in QT player, when I try importing into FCP, I am met with a "general error". I tried both dragging it into QT, as well as File --> Import.
I am wondering what can I do to get these clips into FCP in order to apply the cross dissolve transitions I need. Is this a problem relating to the 16bit nature of the TIFF files?
I tried exporting the TIFF image sequence standalone QT movie, and those imported fine. However, I have a feeling that the standalone movie conversion also decrease my bit depth from 16 to 8. (When I do my final TIFF output from FCP after dissolves / transitions had been applied, each TIFF file is now 8 MB instead of 12 MB, hence my suspicion that the bit depth is adjusted).
Are there any settings I am missing, or does FCP simply don't support 16 bit image sequence reference file. As a test, I had also converted all my TIFF to jpg, and created jpeg image sequence reference file. These reference QT file can be successfully imported to FCP and I can edit them as if they are a clip.
If FCP is not able to handle these files, what are my other options? After Effects?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Michael
<Edited by Moderator>

As far as I know, both FCP and Color only support up to 10 bit color, which is 1024 levels for each color channel, more than enough for avoiding color banding.
If you need 16 bit for sure, I believe AE will support 16 bit output. Another 16 bit application would be the extended version of Photoshop, which has some limited time line capability.

How to edit the page 0 "template" in APEX 4.2

I have an application that has been upgraded to APEX 4.2. On page 0, when I try to move an existing region to Region Position 8 I get an error: "This region position is not in your page template". Looking at the page definition (component view) I can see the name of the template associated with page 0, so I edited that page template and added #REGION_POSITION_08#, but still I get the same error message. So I thought perhaps I would change page 0 to use a different template, but Edit Page does not show the page template at all for page 0.
So I suspect that page 0 is no longer supposed to have a template at all, yet my upgraded application does (sort of) and I can't change it. Any ideas?

Dear Paul,
I used the login_table for my login page,
which has only two fields username and password as like login screen, in my appliction in the change password page
I used the another table called Update_user
which has four fields,
1.username
2.current_password
3.New_password
4.Retye
and the change password page contains this exact same 4 fields from this Table,
whenever the users entering the 4 fields and if they click the create/update button the data will be stored in the Update_Table
and the password field in the Login_table will be updated based on the following trigger,
   create or replace TRIGGER trg1
before insert on update_user
referencing old as old new as new
for each row
begin
    update login_table set password= :new.retype where username=:new.username;
end;
       As you said I tried that :APP_USER and I made the username column as read only,
When the values inserted except the username other 3 values inserted into the update_user table and the login_table not updated so the password also not changed,
Is there any other way to directly upadte the password in the Login_table without going for another Table?
Please Give some suggestion.
Thank you,
regards,
Gurujothi

How to edit default text in fla file

I'm using an open-source Flash mp3 player. In comes in two swf versions. One plays a list of songs and displays the album cover(s). The other version just plays one song. The problem is that the single-song version loads some default text that I want to change (I was able to do this in the other version via the external playlist file). I'm a Flash newbie, and when I open the fla file the player's author provides, I can't find where this default text is located. (The playlist version works fine; its default text relates to what the user will get when they click on the file titles.) Links:
Playlist version that works OK - http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/fripp.htm
Single song version with wrong default text - http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/bjcole.htm

SOLUTION:
For the benefit of anyone else using the XSPF mp3 player, here is how to change default text. The XSPF player file is deployed to your server with your target mp3 files, whatever playlists you have created, and a file ending with the .as extension. The .as file contains the default text and can be changed with a good (free) text editor like NotePad++.

How do I unlock an InDesign CC file that thinks it is still open?

My team works on a directly on the server with Macs running both Lion and Mountain Lion and Adobe CC. Sometimes InDesign crashes and leaves the file in the open state and renders the file unable to open, copy or duplicate. Previous versions of InDesign would at least allow you to copy the file that it thought was still open. Now with CC you cannot do anything with that file. Even deleting the .lDLK file in the terminal does not release that file. I know that it is a protection, but it is killing files.

How to edit bmp and other graphic files

How to edit a captured custom .wim file?

Hi folks,
I am in process of gaining experience with capturing and deploying Windows 7 SP1 from our WDS server using unattend file.
Everything is working, since we installed our applications, ran sysprep, and captured a custom .wim file.
Now we deploy it using unattend file and everything works.
I am trying to figure out if there is a best practice here for adding applications to this new custom .wim file?
I've tried deploying this new image to a unit, installed app, and run sysprep but fails with this error:
A fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine.
I am thinking this has to do with multiple syspreps or something?
I am trying to avoid having to use a default install.wim and app install automation with MDT or something like that. We are strict to WDS only right now.
Appreciate any comments,
Thanks! romatlo

Offline servicing allows for adding/removing drivers and updates in MSU/CAB files.
I do not use MDT either. If you want to "install" a new application to an image that is "out of arms" then you will need to install it after deployment. If your image has an answer file, you can mount your image. Then copy the installation files to it or
you can keep it on a network share. Then in the answer file, you can put in the commands to install it using FirstLogonCommands.
I typically like to reference a .cmd file in my unattend that I can add/remove commands to finalized images. So if a client wants to install a new program but doesn't want to recreate the image, then I can have it installed that way.
<FirstLogonCommands>
<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
<Order>1</Order>
<Description>Set up Service Account</Description>
<CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait c:\folder\FirstLog.cmd</CommandLine>
