I need advice on a template to create a directory of people.

I need to create a brochure in InDesign with photos and contact information for 15-18 people. I am very new to InDesign, I thought a template would be a quick way to do the layout. I have searched Adobe and the internet but can't find one. I assume my terminolgy is wrong? I am searching for " InDesign directory brochure template" , any idea how to find a template?

i doubt you will find a template that meets your needs exactly, unless it was created specifically for you.
you could look for something similar and then tweak it.
it doesnt seem like what you require is too difficult... can you make a template yourself or do you know how to use master pages?

Is there something specific in TP4 that you want to use TP4 - as John suggests, it might be an idea to use the full production release (11g). As for resources for information you can check out
[Jdev Home|http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev] this page contains links to the developers guides and various how tos etc etc. The follownig page is also useful and is focused more to those who are less familiar with Java

Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle database

Hi,
I have a requirement to put together a Oracle SQL template to create re-usable DDL/DML Scripts for Oracle databases.
Only the Oracle DBA will be running the scripts so permissions is not an issue.
The workflow for any DDL is as follows:-
1) New Table
a. Check if the table exists from the system/admin views.
b. If table exists then give message "Table Exists"
c. If table does not exist then execute DDL code
2) Add Column
a. Check if Column exists for a given table from system/admin views
b. If column exists in the specified table,
b1. backup table.
b2. alter table to make changes to the column
b3. verify data or execute dml script convert from backup to the new change.
c. If Column does not exist
c1. backup table
c2. alter table to add column
c3. execute dml to populate column with default value.
The DML scripts are for populating base tables with data required for business operations.
3) Add new row
a. check if row exists by comparing old values of each column with new values to be added for the new record.
b. If exists, give message row exists
c. If not exists, add new record.
4) Update existing record (We have createtime columns in these tables so changes can be tracked)
a. check if row exists using primary key.
b. If exists,
b1. deactivate the record using the "active" column of the table
b2. Add new record with the changes required.
c. If does not exist, add new record with the changes required.
Could you please help with some ideas which can get this done accurately?
I have tried several ways, but I am not able to put together something that fulfills all requirements.
Thank you,

First let me address your question. (This is the easy part.)
1. The existence of tables can be found in DBA_TABLES. Query it and and then use conditional logic and execute immediate to process the DDL.
2. The existence of table columns is found in DBA_TAB_COLUMNS. Query it and then conditionally execute your DDL. You can copy the "before picture" of the table using that same dba view, or even better, use DBMS_METADATA.
As for your DML scripts, they should be restartable, reversible, and re-run-able. They should "fail gracefully" on error, be written in such a way that they can run twice in a row without creating duplicate changes.
3. Adding appropriate constraints can prevent invalid duplicate rows. Also, you can usually add to the where clause so that the DML does only what it needs to do without even relying on the constraint (but the constraint is there as a safeguard). Look up the MERGE statement to learn how to do an UPSERT (update/insert), which will let you conditionally "deactivate" (update) or insert a record. Anything that you cannot do in SQL can be done with simple procedural code.
Now, to the heart of the matter...
You think I did not understand your requirements?
Please be respectful of people's comments. Many of us are professionals with decades of experience working with databases and Oracle technology. We volunteer our valuable time and knowledge here for free.

TV monitor display project, need advice.

So I will be starting a project soon for my job. It will require some content for a store lobby TV display screen. Basically I will be making some content, whether it be scrolling images, animations, or maybe a video clip playing automatically. I will have maybe all of these things to be played throughout the day in the lobby of my work for customers to be viewing. This is the first time I have taken on a project such as this and I'm not sure where to start. I need advice on what type of information I need in order to begin this such as what size to start my project as, format, etc. Thanks!

Hi,
You have two options:
1. Create the Edge Animation on the Computer, and play the animation and use some screen capture software that will give you a video. This video you can play on your lobby TV in loop.
2. If the lobby TV is a smart tv (i.e. it has browser to navigate the webpage), then you can host the Edge animation content files on some server, and navigate to the server url, which will play the animation on the browser in the TV.

Scanning Pictures for HD Project I Need Advice

I am about to *Scan Pictures for HD Project* I Need Advice. The scanner is a HP Scanjet G4050 my questions are:
1: At what resolution do I scan these pictures _+(300 or highest dpi available)+_
2: What color choice is necessary *(RGB vs CMYK)*
3: Can you please suggest points for creating a backdrop for the pictures (various sizes) in the Timeline
Thanks in advance

Scan the picture like you normally would. If the vertical resolution is 1080, you are fine. Don't worry about the 1280 width as black will be in that area not taken up with the photo. That part won't matter if it isn't 1280 if it is a vertical picture. If you don't have at least 1080 high, you might want to re-scan at a higher resolution. If you have it say, 2000 pixels high really no big deal except you don't need it that high and all that extra size slows down your system. If you want it at a lower resolution after you scan go into Photoshop->Image->Image size. Be sure and check "Constrain Proportions" before you change the dimensions in the top box for the height (where you are best using the units as pixels) That way the picture will stay in proportion. Don't use this second method to 'add' more pixels as the quality suffers when you go up this way. Rescan if you want MORE pixels.
All the above is talking about vertical pictures. If you have a really wide photo that is not very tall, use the same principle but keep the width constant. For example let's say you have a 2x6 inch photo. Make sure the width is at least 1280 pixels. Don't worry that the height will be less than 1080 because black will take up that space.
If you are going to do any zoom in and/or panning across a picture, you'll need to make sure it has more than the minimum pixels. For me a little goes a long way, so I zoom in slowly maybe 10-15%.

Need advice: v5 versus v5.5

Newbie with less than a month's experience using a free trial of v5.5 for the specific purpose of creating the interior layout and wraparound cover for a trade paperback needs advice on the following;
It didn't take long to realize that my objectives barely scratch the surface of ID's capabilities. My guess is that everything I've done so far or will need to do in the future for other books, novels in black and white, simple chapter by chapter layouts with no images or columns, can be accomplished perfectly well with v5. To spend the extra money for features I'll never use seems unnecessary, and I'd appreciate feedback on whether I'm correct in my assumption.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

I know there are legitimatecopies of CS5 availble, but they aren't that easy to find (Amazon is one source, though, I think), and they will get harder every day.
For simple printed publications you are correct and the version doesn't matter much, but the world is heading more towards electronic distribution channels, and novels are ideal formats for e-book readers. CS5.5 is head and shoulders above CS5 in its capabilities for that market.
Presumably CS6 and beyond will be even more user-friendly for electronic publication (nobody can tell you what will or will not be in future versions, but the handwriting is on the wall), so if you think you will have money for an upgrade in another year or so after the succesful print run of your book (and if the current trend on upgrade pricing is an indicator, it will be expensive), it might make sense to buy CS5 now, but my instinct is that you'd be better off with CS5.5 and the ability to get your book onto iPad or Kindle now (with some more study) without jumping through quite as many hoops.
And just for reference, I only do print, myself, but I'm old.

Can I make a template to create 1200 forms

I would like to have 1200 single page forms in pdf format, that each have a unique identifier (their address and business name). I currently have 1200 single page merged word docs and want to tuen each of them into a stand alone fillable form. Essentially I need to make a template that I can use 1200 times and would like to use a batch function to save some time.
Any help would be appreciated as this is new to me.

It's easier if you don't. You can do what you want using a template, but it will require some scripting. It's also easier to do than describe, but I'll try. Begin by creating the fields on a page in the locations you want, insert this page to the document, as the first page for example. You can then replace it with a blank page, which will leave the form fields behind. Then make this page a template and hide it. You can then run a script from the interactive JavaScript console that spawns the hidden template on the first page as an overlay, extracts the page that now has fields as a new document, and repeat for the rest of the pages. Here are links to documentation of some of the scripting that will be involved:
template.spawn: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1216.html

The process for making a page a template through Acrobat's UI depends on what version you're using, but it can be doen programmatically too: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.451.html

New user of G4 - need advice on selection of printer, DV and digital camera

I am a recent convert to mac and need advice from experts on the following:
I plan to use my G4 MDD primarily for home computing, experimenting with digital photography, create DVDs and explore multimedia primarily as a hobby. Please advice me on selection of a decent digital camera and or a DV camera. I am not sure if I have a decent DV camera - whether this will be good enough for still photos as well. My G4 has firewire ports.
Also I am interested in buying a printer that I can use with my mac as well as connect to a two other windows systems. My printing needs are primarily documents and maybe photos.. I think that going in for a laser printer makes sense in terms of reliability .
I am not looking for the highend equipment - willing to spend upto 750 $ on all items. Thanks in advance.

raja,
welcome to discussions.
Digital Camera, DV camera and colour Laser Printer all for $750 ??
I'm afraid you'll have to go for an inkjet printer if you want colour photos. Expensive doesn't even begin to describe Colour Laser Printers. HP make good printers, but tend to be a bit more expensive to run, Epson make excellent photo printers, are are a bit more economical to run, take a look at the iP4000 and iP5000. I still use my old HP DeskJet 1200 (does A3), and a DeskJet 970Cxi (everyday), both use the same cartidges. These are about 7 years old, there are modern versions retailing now at about half of what I paid for these then(always the case).
Digital cameras can be decided by what purpose you intend to use them for. I have an 18 month old Nikon D100 digital SLR. 6M pixel (which was a lot then) but that might not matter, it takes Nikon lenses (and other manufacturer lenses to the same spec), so I can shoot with a 300mm, 400mm, 600mm lens. Nikon has a D50 out now, a cheaper, newer version of my camera. I can print A3 photo real from 6M pixels and with the right lens I don't need to crop my pictures too much. If you want to print photo real A4 (and that's a LOT of ink) a 3-4M pixel camera would be fine. Most cameras now are 5-8 M pixel, this is because the pictures they take have to be cropped drastically because they have an inadequate lens. On top of that my Nikon takes really great pictures, better than any of my other digi cameras (but not as good as my ancient Olympus 35mm muji-zoom compact with 200 film).
So if you're going to take a lot of close ups in well lit areas, product shots, interior shots with flash, ie. "snaps" rather than photography, any cheap digi camera will do. Good points are
- USB / Firewire connectivity,
- non-proprietry battery technology, ie. it uses 4 x recharable AAs instead of a battery that only fits that camera, and it comes with a AA recharger.
- non-proprietry storage technology, ie. it uses Compact Flash or some other that is used by a large portion of cameras, rather than just be that manufacturer.
- digital zoom is worthless.
If you're doing outdoor photography, wildlife, landscapes, etc, you may want something with a changeable lens and SLR technology, a digital SLR. Not all digital SLR cameras have changeable lenses. Same good points as above, but be prepared to sacrifice one of the points for a good camera. Heavy cameras are easier to hold steady with a big lens, so try for a metal case (it'll be coated in plastic anyway).
For outdoors the most important thing is the amount of light entering the camera (indoors you can control the lighting with flash / fitted lighting), digital SLRs can have enormous lenses (my 28mm hyperzoom lens has a 72mm diameter), compare this to a compact digital camera with a 12mm diameter lens, I take 36x the light of a compact. And it shows in the picture quality.
I'm a complete duffer with DV cameras so I won't lead you astray with this, but be aware some do offer the option to take digital pictures. Indeed some digital cameras can take low quality short movies.
Let us know if you have any more questions.

Need advice on a proof printer

Hello. So glad I found this site!
I'm currently a print graphic designer and starting a home based business integrating my print design knowledge with newly acquired web design skills to offer a complete package.
I am working on an HP computer, as I cannot afford the Mac I want now. I have all of the Adobe software for PC already, but need advice for a printer.
The machines I work on now are like $18k - 25k color lasers, and clearly that is not in my budget. I'm a little lost as to what to look for in a printer that can handle color proofs of my artwork. I create a lot of raster images in PS, but logo design is one of my focuses, so vector output is essential. I almost always create outlines of fonts for the final press ready file, so I'm not so worried about fonts, but color matching is important.
I've been reading about Postscript and PCL, but am still very confused. I'm also a little confused as to what a rip does or if I need one. We use one at my shop, and I know how to use it, but it lives on the server and was explained that it was only necessary for networking the printers.
I am planning to outsource all of my final printing, but I need a printer for proofing. I've been looking at inkjets for affordability reasons, but now I'm not sure if I need a color laser.
Help!!

Dear VectorGirly, I currently have an OKI Postscript c9800 printer. I use postscript printers because I calibrate and use color profiles to get the closest colour match to the outsourced commercial print that I can. I know this is more than you budgeted for, but it really depends what you end up focusing on. (ie web or print). I focus more on print, hence my printer has to proof postscript correctly for me. I am PC based but my files print to both PC and Mac platforms.
Regarding logos and colors ... firstly, my monitor is calibrated with a Pantone Huey. I use matching color profiles in all my design programs: Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop. My print PDFs include the color profiles. When I email or post proofs of logos or corporate stationery to clients I make sure they understand that colors will look different on various monitors because they are not calibrated for print and are RGB or color prism based rather than CMYK for print. Even if you choose a Pantone color, unless everything is calibrated and with color profiles, it's unlikely that you will get the same color on your screen, let alone on the client's screen. And if the client is wanting a color that looks good on their screen, it's even harder. I always recommend they look at the proof colours on various screens including friends so they can understand how it changes according to monitors.
Regarding PCL and Postscript: When I purchased my OKI (and my former Fuji Xerox pscript), I sent an existing print PDF (that had gone to commercial print previously) to the head office and asked them to do printouts of all the printers I was interested in. All the printers based as PCL were very inaccurate color. The two with postscript took my PDF and printed correctly and were very close to the final printed output. As I am pedantic on colour (colour in Australian spelling), I had to choose the high end postcript laser. Having said that, I am also very interested in the Fuji Xerox Phaser 8500 which is postscript and solid ink (great for the environment and people with allergies and low running costs - much better than laser) - but I need the A3 and banner printing option and they haven't made one for that size yet. I am hoping the new release may offer a bigger size paper. I have a very high allergy level and have to have the window open and a mask on when changing toners and printing, hence my interest in the solid ink for the future.
I always download my fonts through the print PDF to the printer - I never use printer inbuilt fonts. This is so I know that WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) when I print commercially as they also download/use the embedded PDF fonts.
Also, somewhere down the line you may find yourself forced to choose between focusing on web and print.
I recommend you choose what you love best.

Need Advice: Re-Ripping ALL of my CDs using ALAC/Apple Lossless

I need advice from some experienced users (having searched for answers for a couple of days and not finding a comprehensive solution). I want to "upgrade" my iTunes library (95% of which is from my CD collection) from ACC (the default iTunes file format) to ALAC (lossless format). I realize that music purchased from the iTunes store will remain in ACC format, but I am using this opportunity to "archive" or "digitize" my CD collection. I have some, but not a lot, of non-critical tags, album art, etc. set up with my current library. I will be saving all of the music files in a new folder on a single hard disc on my network (with backup). I use iTunes Match. I have Windows PCs, Macbook Pro (OSX), iPhone, iPad, iPod. Given these factors, I am seeking recommendations:
Does it make sense to "start over" and create a brand new iTunes library?
(this would certainly give me time to complete my project while still using my current iTunes library)
If yes, what do I need to do in order to "activate" the new library once it is complete in order to reset iTunes Match and all of the other devices using my iTunes library? What complications can I anticipate?
If no, what is the best way to replace the existing albums in my iTunes library with the new ALAC files? Do I simply insert the CD and import it with my new settings? Will iTunes take care of the rest (saving the new file, deleting the old format, matching tags, etc.)? What complications can I anticipate?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of allowing iTunes to "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library?"
Any other suggestions, warning, smart alec remarks?
I know there are a lot of questions bound up in this post, but if you have converted your iTunes music collection to one of the lossless or uncompressed formats, I would love to learn from your experience (and am guessing others will as well). Thanks!

In most cases you should be able to re-import your CDs to the existing library - iTunes will automatically replace your media files and retain all previously added metadata. This does depend on the library being the same one as you originally imported the CDs in AAC format (i.e., the same computer or the result of a complete library migration). You should experiment with a couple of CDs to verify this behavior - I've done this successfully to "update" some of the older content of my library which had been imported as 128kbps AAC to 256kbps..
Obviously this approach will put your media into the existing library media folders, which is going to be the simplest approach. If you subsequently want to move the library to a different drive, see turingtest2's user tip on Make a split library portable. If you're concerned about running out of disc space on the drive that currently hosts your library, you could follow these guidelines to move the library to a second, larger drive before starting to re-import using ALAC.
This is the approach I'd recommend, though there are a couple of other possibilities:
Create a new, empty library on the second drive by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes; when you see this prompt:
click on Create Library..., navigate to the second drive and create the library there (best approach is to create this in a new iTunes folder in the root of the drive. This will guarantee "clean" imports but you'll not be able to re-use any metadata, artwork, playlists, etc. contained in your current library. To switch between libraries, SHIFT-start and use the Choose Library... option to select the library you want to be active.
On the second drive, create a folder called iTunes in the root and a folder called iTunes Media inside this. Then, with iTunes running against your current library, select Edit > Preferences > Advanced, change the iTunes Media folder location to the one you've just created (i.e., X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, if the second drive is "X:". Also make sure that the Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder... options are checked. When you re-import your CDs the media files should be placed on the second drive ... note, though, that I've not verified that this approach will work - in theory it should do but you should definitely test with one or two CDs before going any further. This approach will result in a "split" library where your library database is on the C: drive and the media divided between drives (since your iTunes Store purchases will still be on C:). This is generally not a good idea (if for no other reason than making creation and maintenance of a backup of your library more difficult). Again, tt2's notes on Make a split library portable describe how to bring the library into a consistent, well-formed layout.

Firmware v2.1 bricks my camera - Need advice

I need advice. I bought the FS7 a month ago and it came with Firmware 2.0. I have been getting used to the camera and I think it's a great machine, still has some bugs, but manageable. The huge issue I have found it that I cannot upgrade to V2.1 without the camera stopping to function. I do the upgrade procedure as stated by Sony http://bit.ly/1E4o32D Using a 32 GB Class 10 Sony SD card. The .md5 is correct. No lenses or adapters installed, no battery, no cards, not even the grip remote. I have tried several times, even after an ALL RESET. The procedure takes the normal amount of time in step one. When step one gets to 100% it restarts the camera and starts step 2. When step 2 ends, ussually after 9m45s, it pops a screen saying "Software Upgraded" with only one option to click on "Done". Then, I cannot push the "Done" because all buttons in the camere have ceased to respond. Nothing electronic in the body works. The on/off button does not turn off the camera, so I ended up taking the power cord out. After that the camera starts out normally but the buttons will not work. I finnally found out (I was thinking the camera was a brick by this point) that I could use the remote grip buttons. So I have ended up installing V2.0... five times I have tried it. It does not work. Any help please?

Hi Daniel, Thank you for the comments about my training video, but I'm afraid I don't have an answer about your firmware update problem if it's not the HOLD button. To be honest, I have not even bothered to update to 2.1 myself yet. Normally I try to keep my firmware updated, but in this case, I'm too busy and I just don't care enough to bother with it. None of the "improvements" interest me and I'm happy with the camera is running right now. Yes, I am guilty of not following my own advice about keeping the firmware up to date. I guess you can either reach out to Sony or just keep using 2.0 until another update is released. I know what I would do, but I don't want to offer any advice one way or the other. The scene files that can be downloaded from my website were created with v1.1 and I have not seen any reason to update them. They sitll work fine for me and nobody has reported any issues. Good luck.

AE product template to create multiple product

I have recently created a product video template in AE for a client and now the client wants to use that template to create around 100 different product videos. I am new to AE and this is a little over my head, so I thought I was ask you guys if you know a way to import different data points in from a file(or something) i.e. price, product image into the template to create all the different product videos without having to do this manually?

Check the "Comps from Spreadsheet" script and similar stuff from AEScripts, but generally there is no 100% automated way of doing such stuff. Differently cut out images will require changes in placement, varying text length will need manual mangling and so on. If there's a hundred products every week and it gets long in the tooth, you should contact one of the scripters to create some custom stuff for you/ your client, otherwise 100 "simple" comps isn't really that much when you think about it. Even "simple" projects in my world rarely have less than 50...
