How to push out settings like stroke, swatch, etc...? CS3

Hello,
I am trying to create a standardized settings in indesign. So that everyone using the program has the same settings, for example, same stroke, swatch and all other prefs. I have about 40 PC's and would like a way to push this out to each user.
Or if a user notices settings are not right, they can run this script and they will all be reset to our inhouse default.
I have done this, set the prefs to the way I liked on one computer. Closed Indesign and then copied the:
C:\documents and settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0
AND
C:\documents and settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0
folders out to my network. I then created a script to grab those folders and copy them to the current users folders. However this does not seem to work all the time.
For example I know that I made the swatch Black, but it reverts back to None.
Are all the settings not stored in the InDesign Defaults and Color Settings and Saved Data files ?
Anyone out there doing this successfully? thanks.

>Usually they don't open just in design, they open a page that has already been started, etc..
Then the styles and swatches, etc., must either already be in that document, or they need to be added. Changing the defaults is only going to affect new work, not existing files.
Adobe says that preferences can be scripted, and I know that's true because one of the scripters has mentioned doing just that for a client. But he wasn't at liberty to share the code, and Adobe doesn't provide any details for how to do it that I've been able to find. :(

  • Using "Filters" how can I activate Artistic, Brush Strokes, Texture, etc.

    Please help.  I am a novice at using PS. 
    I want to change some photos to give it a true impressionistic, watercolor, neon-like look.  When I scroll down the Filter menu, how do I activate "Artistic, Brush Strokes, Texture, etc."?  They are grey and inactive.
    Am I going about this in a wrong way?  Is there another tool I can use?  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Are you saying there is no way to do it with a 16-bit image?  I would also like to use these effects on a certain image, particular the gun shown in this product.  I want to make it look a lot more attractive, but I too have not been able to utilize these important Photoshop effects.  There has to be a way to do this, there's always a way in the world of computers.

  • Clues on how to push out Gw65SP3 with ZfS?

    I am trying to push out GW65SP3 using ZfS, but there is no cpk included
    with the GW SP and I cannot find any documentation on creating my own
    CPK. Can anyone give me a clue where I could look for this?
    Thanks

    Should be possible with a software package
    If you want to upgrade, you could copy the new files, down the domain and
    start from the new files, wait some time to let the GW-admin messages go
    through, shut down the PostOffice and start from the new files
    Probebly doing some tests to verify it all works and you should be OK
    (and maybe post the SPK so that others might be able to use the same)

  • How to push color settings and profiles?

    I understand AAMEE 3.0 does not support packaging settings alltogether with the apps.
    So the questions comes, how do you guys push the color settings and the workspaces to the newly deployed CS6 packages?
    Is there a safe/approved way to do it?
    Thank you.

    FOGRA39 is fine for sheet fed offset-printing in Europe (central Europe at least).
    For web fed offset printed magazines you may want to use either ISO Coated v2 300 (ECI) or PSO LWC Improved (ECI) if you have no further information.
    And for newspapers ISOnewpaper26v4.
    http://www.eci.org/doku.php?id=en:downloads
    You may want to read up (in the Help or  other resources) on Color Management, though, to get a grasp on factors like Render Intent.
    And better not use »Assign Profile« unless you are certain you understand what this does.
    Will be printed CMYK image as well, as it looks?
    That would naturally depend on your monitor and how regularly it is calibrated.

  • How ro restrict BEx Items like Report Designer,etc..

    Hello Friends,
    I have a situation where my end users should not be able to run Report Designer,Web Analyzer,Planning Modeller and BEx Broadcaster.
    Can any one suggest me how to do this.
    Do we have any auth objects that control them.
    I tried to look many ways i didnt find any way.
    Thanks,
    Ram

    for working on broadcaster user should have S_RS_ADMWB with field RSADMWBOBJ = BR_SETTING, and object S_RS_BCS.
    and for saving and executing the formatted report in report designer user should have access to S_RS_ERPT.
    make sure your endusers do not have these. that would do your job. users can get in to broadcaster and report designer, but they can't do anything. getting into these tools cannot be prevented until what I know.
    S_RS_TOOLS was made a mandatory check in NW04s. so unless a user has it he won't be able to get into Web application designer.besides that S_RS_BITM and BTMP would help to restrict at owner level.
    S_RS_TOOLS takes the 'COMMAND' = WEBPUBLISH.
    unless you add this object to a user, he won't be able to get into WAD.
    SAP din't provided anything like this to other tools until now. may be not many customers are requesting for it.

  • How to copy exact settings / IP reservations / passwords etc from one router to other

    Hi everyone,
     I'm using EA4200 for around 1.5 years now. It has buttons as "save configuration" and "restore configuration", which I'm assuming can be used to mirror exact settigs and config of EA4200 to other router.
     I bought EA6700 few days back (I was considering Asus but  bought Linksys just cause I thought it would be easier to move settings).
     However now that I look at EA6700 Administration menu, I don't see any "save" "restore" similar buttons.
     So I would like to know if there is a way to easily migrate from one router to other. (In this case both are Linksys).
    Thanks

    Yes.  Copy them all down on a piece of paper.  Install the new router and simple put the settings back in.

  • How to change report attributes like heading, sort etc programmatically

    There is something I don't understand here. Why do you need to point at the sxd? What is changing? Like I mentioned before. If the contents of the xsd change, all the report will do is - at best - drop the changed fields so you will be missing data. Perhaps some of the following will help;

  • Push out Adober Reader changes to Macs

    I have a network with both Windows and Mac clients that use Adobe Reader.  I already know how to use Active Directory Group Policy to push the necessary registry changes so that my Windows based clients can have their Adobe Reader settings updated.
    However, for my Mac users where the settings exist in .plist files, I have been searching for a way to centrally update these same settings (I'm interested in pushing out security related settings when Adobe releases security advisories saying that the mitigation is to ensure that certain settings are in place until a full blown patch is released).
    Does anyone know how to push out .plist settings changes from a central point similar to what AD Group Policy allows with registry changes?
    Thanks,

    I ran into this issue some time ago as well and wrote just such a script!
    Here's an exerpt from my documentation:
    Lastly we need to add the Printer via the command line. Here's how:
    First thing we need to do is copy the PPD file to the correct location. By default it's in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/
    The PPD in question can be found specifically by typing lpinfo -m This lists all of the printer drivers available to cups.
    You must copy the gz file using sudo. It needs to be copied to /usr/share/cups/model/
    The copy command looks like this:
    sudo cp /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP\ LaserJet\ P3010\ Series.gz /usr/share/cups/model/
    Once there, you run the script to install it.
    I've left the scripts in the Public/Techy Stuff for each printer we use in the highschool.
    So, the command looks like this. It's a bit of a trick cause figuring out the details as to how it's supposed to work just by looking in the man pages usually *****.
    I'll explain...  The command is as follows:
    lpadmin -p LabLaser -E -v socket://192.168.1.11 -m HP\ LaserJet\ 1320\ Series.gz -o printer-is-shared=false
    lpadmin -p LabLaser adds the printer and calls it "LabLaser"
    -E forces encryption while connecting to the server. It's probably not necessary but it's in all the examples on the web that I could find.
    -v gives you the opportunity to specify the location of the printer. In ***** case they're all network printers with valid IP addresses and MDNS addresses, so yeah. socket:// for standard IP printing protocol (IPP) mdns:// for bonjour.
    Get the mdns name from lpinfo -m
    ...the -m specifies the name of the PPD. See above. (this is the driver that I copied to /usr/share/cups/model/)
    -o is pretty self explanitory...  However I feels it's extremely important.  This will prevent the printer from showing up in the bonjour list of printers on the network even if the user has printer sharing turned on.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi. A JDBC connection pool is a set of identical, interchangeable, pre-made
    connections, and the controls to make sure only one user uses a particular
    connection at any one time. If you want to have different DBMS users, you can
    have a separate pool for each DBMS user, which may contain as many or few
    connections as you want. Some applications has a pool for the accounting
    applications, and another for the sales applications etc. Some do have a
    separate pool for john, jane, joe etc, each with one connection. Pools
    can be created and destroyed dynamically using the dynamic pool API.

  • When closing and reopening, my tabs aren't restoring like the once did. My history is only keeping one day. Need to know how to change these settings.

    When closing and reopening Firefox, my tabs aren't restoring like they once did. I used to have all my tabs restore each time I opened Firefox. Now it starts with one fresh new tab and all my others are lost. I do a lot of research so this is important.
    My history is only displaying one day even though I have never changed my settings even after I updated it last year.
    Need to know how to restore these settings.
    ***OH! special note: I can't use the recently closed tabs or recently closed windows because its a grayed out option****

    Are you using cleanup software like CCleaner?
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • How to change time out settings in Analytic Provider Service...

    ... or how to disable automatic disconnect between APS and essbase server (using XMLA interface).
    First a short summary:
    We would like to use a third party product to analyze data (DeltaMaster from Bissantz). This product uses the XMLA interface provided by Analytic Provider Service. Mostly the connection works, I can choose one of our cubes, sometimes a drill down is possible, but sometimes the following error occurs:
    "Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdErrorResponseException: (1042006): Network Error [10061] Unable To Connect To [entwgdw.hres.de:33769]. The client timed out waiting to connect to the Essbase Agent using TCP/IP. Check youer network connections. Also please make sure that Server and Port values are correct [...]"
    I have already talked to the Bissantz support concerning this issue and the recommended me to increase the APS time out settings and/or to disable the automatic disconnect between APS and essbase server after every query.
    The question is: Is this possible and if yes: How and where can I change these settings???
    Kind regards
    André

    You could look at updating the essbase.properties file in the APS installation directory.
    olap.server.netRetryCount=600
    olap.server.netConnectRetry=3
    olap.server.netDelay=200
    olap.server.netSocketTimeOut=200
    Update then restart APS
    Though this might not be the issue if on windows, it may be down to the amount of ports being used, have a read [here |http://timtows-hyperion-blog.blogspot.com/2007/12/essbase-api-error-fix-geeky.html ] for a possible fix.

    okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song. like i hit record and sang the entire song but when i hit play it was in pieces not just one song like it was in ten takes. is there any way i can blend it all into one take, to make one clear song?

    You're not very clear in stating your problem. Maybe it's terminology: "takes" in recording lingo (and in GB lingo) are different version of exactly the same part in a song, so you only want one of them in the end. Please tell us exactly what you did and what it is that you don't like.
