IFD to XDP convertion Span tags issue...

Hi,
When we convert the IFD (Adobe output designer-5.6) to XDP through Adobe livecycle ES, some unicode special characters included to the XDP file between tags.
like, ô 
It results, special characters printed on form.
Let us know, how to rectify the issue.
Regards,
Sasi

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your answer. Only been using ADF for a month now so a lot to be learned!
I am styling using CSS and skins (very confusing how ADF does this but thats another matter all together) but concerning my query on how to centrally vertical and horizontally align components within a button. How would I achieve this desired effect if the use of 2 span tags is not allowed/suggested in ADF. The af:outputText tag doesn't seem to implement span tags as I would have thought.
Any help would be very appreciated as searching the internet it would seem the use of the 2 classes on span tags is the best cross browser solution.

Conversion of IFD to XDP Format

I have got a IFD file which I want to convert into XDP format.I know there is a utility called ConverIFD.exe provided in Adobe Livecycle Designer.But its not working, it is prompting with an error that Adobe Output Designer need to be installed.Is there any other way to convert the IFD to XDP format.
Any one who can help me in this. Thanks

You must have Adobe Output Designer installed (5.5 version at a minimum). The ConvertIFD.exe actually uses the Adobe Output Designer program to do the conversion.
You should also be aware that there is a known issue with older versions of Adobe LiveCycle Designer when you have Output Designer 5.6 installed. You will need to install Output Designer 5.5 if you are using a version of LC Designer that predates LiveCycle Output ES (i.e. 8.1.x).

My iTunes library and metadata/ID3 tags issue

Since 2010, iTunes is the only media player I use to play music. My library consists of music purchased from the iTunes Store, CD rips and stuff many artists these days release as freebies on the internet to promote a new album. Also, M4A and MP3 are the only formats I use so far.
Since iTunes, I really got into editing my library's metadata tags by hand, in order to create a custom archive which serves my preferences best. I should mention that besides iTunes being the only software I use to play my music library, it's also the only software I use to edit their metadata. Also, before iTunes – when my library was on different media players – I never bothered with editing them.
A few days ago, I found how a lot of people in forums complain about the way iTunes edits and stores metadata. So, I experimented and moved a few of my songs to other media players after editing their tags within iTunes. And indeed the tags and/or artwork were often displayed messed up and/or incorrect, some times partially and some times completely.
Some people were referring to the version of the ID3 tags being the issue, while others suggested using the "convert ID3 tags" feature. I myself am a little bit confused. "Converting the ID3 tags" wasn't available for my M4A files and once I performed it for my MP3's I didn't know which setting I should apply or what version to choose. I chose one version randomly but I'm not sure what happened.
My goal is to make my music library able to play and display my custom metadata on the majority of the popular media players. I hope that firstly this is possible and that secondly it won't be a solution which requires me going through every single song individually.
I really hope that all those years work on my library wasn't for nothing.
I'm using a MacBook running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my iTunes version is 10.7
While my music library is more important that my iTunes version, I do like iTunes 10 more than 11.
I apologize for any grammar mistakes, since English is not my first language. Thank you all for your time and any suggestion is welcome.

Hello turingtest2 and thank you for your reply.
In response to "a possible cause of problems is multiple embedded tags", what exactly does that mean and how can I avoid doing it in the future?
Anything ripped with iTunes should get a single tag. If multiple tags in some of your older mp3 rips are the cause of the problems when you try to access the files elsewhere then you should apply the suggested remedy selectively, not to the whole library indiscriminately. Once fixed you shouldn't have the problem again unless you use different ripping software. If so check the options to ensure you generate a single ID3v2.3 tag. Downloads from elsewhere are pot luck.
If I use Convert ID3 Tags>None before converting to v2.3 as you suggested, how many times is "several times" and why do I have to do it more than once? Also, what are your thoughts on 'v2.3 vs. v2.4'?
Several is at least two, but more could be needed if a file has both v1 and v2 tags in multiple languages. If there are two tags, the first conversion to none should remove the first one, and the second conversion the second. Experiment, And stick to v2.3.
In response to "the process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows". All fields excluding cover art remain the same? Does that mean that I will have to start from scratch and apply new cover art individually for each album? That would be too time consuming given the fact that I embed custom art.
Yes, everything but artwork is held in the iTunes database and is restored with the final Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. Use Doug's scripts SaveAlbumArtJpeg before you start and RestoreArtworkFromAlbumFolder afterwards to save and the restore your existing artwork.
Also, what happens with my M4A files' metadata? ID3 tags are only used for MP3's, right?
Yes, m4a/aac files have a different tag mechanism. Multiple ID3 tags is just one possible issue that you might have. You said:
So, I experimented and moved a few of my songs to other media players after editing their tags within iTunes. And indeed the tags and/or artwork were often displayed messed up and/or incorrect, some times partially and some times completely.
It might be worth going into some more detail about exactly what differences you noticed. iTunes can automatically associate (instead of embedding) artwork when it can match the album in the store which could be why some tracks didn't get artwork.

Duplicate SPAN tags are not new in V9

Contrary to the broadcast announcement about the new DLL being offered, the SPAN tags problem is not new in RH 9. However, what I've seen is more of a random insertion process (going from one or two instances in a topic to a dozen or more) than one of SPAN duplication for the same string.
I've encountered the issue in 8.0.2.208, and have simply removed them in the code and saved the topic before exiting HTML View. Just another adorable little RH quirk...
Good luck,
Leon

I copied the version 2.0 folders ('catalogs' and 'catalog folders') to 'C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\Photoshop Album' overwriting the ones created during the program installation. Here I supposed that there are no changes in file structure in those files
My need here is to keep the links between the photos and the tags made by version 2. Having now only a Vista machine I cannot 'Upgrade' from version 2 to 3.2 because the version 2.0 would not install in Vista

Mysterious FM- RH style mapping override with span tag

I have been working in a super clean FM and RH project that is has one to one mappings for all my styles in the FM to same named styles in RH, just to be sure I do not mess up. Still, though, I seem to get a mystery mapping. For my bullets and lists, RH is adding a span tag with font set to Times Roman. I cannot find *any* css that has Times Roman. I've checked things like my character tags, my cross reference tags, etc and cannot find a correlation. Where would this be added if it's not in my FM Format definitions and not in my RH Style definitions. I tried reimporting the book to see if it needed a tickle of the project mappings template but that didn't help.
I'm attaching some images in hopes someone has ideas. The example does not appear to be times roman in Design view, but in more complex topics it's pretty obvious.
I have so many hacks for single sourcing now, about ready to give up.
Got help?

Thanks for the fast reply Arnis,
I did not even notice that the span tag ended on the spaces, so it can't be what's causing the odd previews I'm seeing. So it seems my original question is not well thought out, so I'm going to retest with some other style changes.
Still, though I'm wanting to follow up on getting rid of the Times tag anyway. The bullets are always defined as Verdana. Bullet is set to use "Default Font" while BulletLevel2 uses "Bold" (the char def for Bold is also Verdana). Is there some place I have to map "tabs" to not be Times? I dont think it's the Default Font issue because bullet 2 uses Bold.
Here are some screenshots.

Exporting to Tagged PDF: Why would every single line of text come out as a separate Span tag?

I've inherited an InDesign file for which I have to generate a 508-compliant PDF. Normally this is pretty smooth with InDesign, and most issues have historically been pretty easy to fix.
With this document, though, every single individual line is exporting to tagged PDF as a separate tag.
I've turned off overrides and hyphenation, and looked for manual line breaks. I've also tried exporting it out to IDML and opening that, and the resulting PDF was no better.
If anyone has an idea of whether there's some odd setting I'm missing that could explain why this is happening, that would be very helpful!

Thank you for being so helpful and constructive.
I tried to look at the ASDL settings, john46 but it's asking me for my HomeHub password... the only password I have is for our wireless network and that one doesn't work.
I can't test the phone line right now because I'll have to disconnect the internet and I'm currently working on another computer whilst chatting on this one with you. However I will do that later. I'll also look at the RogerB link you provided.
Truth is, we're pensioners who use the internet but we havent a grain of technical understanding between us. We're old fashioned enough to admit that we just want someone who knows what he's doing to come here and fix it for us. It's already cost us £130 for an engineer to come out from OpenReach to tell us the phone line is OK and it's the router causing the problem. Best case scenario is that another BT engineer who knows about broadband comes out and does it because the last BT person that I spoke to in Delhi did actually confirm that there is a fault on the BT side. I'm getting so frustrated right now I'll probably call out an independant I find in Yellow Pages and get charged an arm and a leg again and I'll then cancel with BT in a fit of pique.

Why bolding or italicizing in Design View, it strips wanted empty span tags?

I do not know if this is a bug, a setting, or whatever, but when I edit in Design View my empty span tags with class are striped. I actually want that span tag to stay, because the span will eventually displays an icon via CSS.
For example, I have the following code in the code view:
 Titles Goes Here
When I bold or italicized a word using the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+b or command+b) inside the tag while in the Design View, it strips out the .
Is there a way to prevent it from stripping empty span tag with class when in design view? I personally hate editing in design view, but I got some people who do (because looking at code give them headache). BTW, I am using Dreamweaver CC 13, and this issue is on both Mac and Windows platform.

That looks like a bug to me. It does it in DWCC 2014 as well. I've never seen it come up before here, but you have some fairly specific things going on there.
Here's where you report that: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
As a work around, you could add your bold and italic as classes themselves and use those rather than the old and tags. Also, putting any content (a non breaking space works well) between those tags also appears to stop the insanity.

Easy way to insert a span tag?

Hey all,
I was just curious if there was an easy way to wrap selected text or what not with a tag by clicking a button or something similar?
There is of course the "Insert Div Tag" option, but is there one like this for spans? I feel like maybe I'm just missing this somewhere... :-)
Thanks!
Peter

Well, most of the time when you select some text and apply a different formatting, it will automatically add a span tag for you...
But if you want to manually put one, the quickest way is in code view (I work in split view most of the time...), but if you don't want to go inside the code, there are other ways...
Go into the Insert menu and choose Tag. Then go to the HTML tags section and in the right select span and click Insert. Clicking on the Tag Chooser button in the Common section of the Insert panel will do the same.
A quicker way would be to right-click, select Insert HTML...(or Wrap Tag if you made a selection) and select the span tag, then it Enter (Return).
Hope this helps.

"Converting ID3 Tags" Option disappeared? iTunes 8.0.2

Hey everyone!
I'm right now struggling to get my iPod to work again, and I have so many problems, but I think converting ID3 tags would help.
But then the option of "Converting ID3 tags" seemed to have disappeared.
It's not in the Advanced tab, nor is it in the right-click menu.
I need help asap, since my iPod is already acting crazy by not being able to download all of my files in once sync.
Thanks a bunch guys!

It's still there. (iTunes 8.0.2)
In the right-click option menue.
Just select the song(s) in iTunes library view.

Convert ID3 Tags

I've got a problem with ID3 tags. As far as i've been using iPod there was no such problem, but now my iPod is broken and i'm using nokia e50 smartpohone instead. The phone doesn't support ID3v2.4 so I had to downgrade all my tags to v2.3
But in some cases (later i've found those "cases" were encoded with iTunes) no conversion is possible.
my question is: how to enable the "Convert ID3 Tags" for iTunes encoded files? or if it's impossible what should I do to convert tags without using iTunes
Windows XP Pro

If you're up to it, the following should work.
Download and install foobar2000 if you don't already use it. Add the unprotected AAC files to the main playlist window. Select them all, right-click, and choose Tagging > Rewrite File Tags.
Note: At this point, you may need to remove the same files from your iTunes library and add them back again if you will be transferring the files directly from iTunes to your phone. Otherwise, moving the files from their default location to your phone should work just fine.

Converting ID3 tags: v2 to v1 then back to v2?

I converted a lot of my ID3 tags to ver. 1 so they would display properly on my CD player in the car. Can these be set back to ver. 2 again with losing anything. Please don't tell me I have to reimport the CD's again.....

If the version 1.x tags shortened any of the data fields stored in the original files, then that information will still be gone when you convert your tags back to version 2.x (2.3 recommended).
Unfortunately, iTunes isn't a player that encodes MP3s with both version 1.x and 2.x tags (at the same time), so it's best in a situation like this to make copies of the MP3 files you want to edit, and revert back to your original files after burning MP3 CDs, etc.
In the worst case, you shouldn't need to reimport your CDs; you may just have to add some missing information back into your tags once they're converted back to version 2.x.

Question about "Convert ID3 Tags" command

I just used "Convert ID3 Tag" to convert all the songs in a library to ID3v2.4. When it was done, abotu half the album art had been killed. I have a backup, so nothing is lost, but I did not expect this to happen. My questions: (1) Is this expected behavior or a bug?, and (2) Any ideas why some album art survived and some did not?

Thank you! I actually managed to figure it out myself before you replied.
For anyone else out there who might be interested:
Change the import settings in iTunes > Preferences > General, to Apple Lossless Encoder. Then you can select the files/albums you want to convert, and click on the Advanced menu while holding down the Options/Alt-key, and click "Create Apple Lossless Version". I found that it doesn't actually convert the existing WAV-files, but creates an Apple Lossless copy of every single file, so I had to spend some time weeding out the WAV-files afterwards. This is a one-time effort, though, as every CD will be imported as Apple Lossless from now on.
Better still, solved my problem with the album artwork!

How can I "nest" CSS span tags?

I have a piece of text to which I want to apply three successive CSS classes, making increasingly broad selections of the text. (Or, conversely, apply to the broadest span of text and then selectively style smaller subsets of the inner text.) Either way I try this, the "span" tags do not end up nested.
For example, I first select a single word and apply CSS style-1 to just the one word. Next, I select 3 words (one being the word I just styled) and apply CSS style-2 to that. Finally, I select the entire clause, which contains the 3 styled words, and apply style-3 to that.
The objective is to have the span tags "nest" -- but when I apply the styles in the Design view using the "Class" selector, the resulting HTML has the span tags starting and stopping for each bit of text, rather than being nested. Rather than that, I want to end up with the effect below:
a clause with some words within the clause.
I can, of course, do this by hand in the Code view but it is very time-consuming. Is there a way to achieve this in the Design view?

Are you attempting something like this?
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Span Tag Nesting</title>
<style type="text/css">
.style-1 {
 font-weight:bold;
.style-2 {
 color:green;
.style-3 {
 font-style:italic;
</style>
</head>
<body>
a clause with some words within the clause.
</body>
</html>
I'm pretty sure you're going to be stuck adding the span tags in by hand. As far as I can tell, there's no way to get DW to nest tags from within Design View. With the way span tags currently work in DW, there is no way for the program to know you want them nested or overwritten when you select an area of text in Design View.
That might be an interesting Feature Request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

2950 spanning tree issue

Here is the problem we are having , we have a 2950 hooked to a 6509 hybrid dist box with approx 90 vlans on it . We hook up a new 2950 and we get the following message, Dec 21 19:47:45.116: %SPANTREE_VLAN_SW-2-MAX_INSTANCE: Platform limit of 64 STP instances exceeded. No instance created. Ok , I know about the spanning tree issues with the 2950 only having limited PVST instances . But up at the dist side we have "manually pruned off all but 5 vlans on the trunk feeding this 2950 with the "clear trunk" command . I thought manually pruning off the vlans from the trunk would eliminate this problem , maybe i have a misunderstanding of how this works. Also the message on the 2950 complains about it only having 64 instances of spanning tree yet when you do a "show vtp status it says it supports 250 instances locally so whats up with that , 2950 running 12.1.22EA4 . So I guess I'm asking is there any way around this for the 2950 . Also in client/server mode do you have to manually prune off the vlans on both the server side and the client side ??

Hello Glen,
I guess instead of manually pruning the VLANs off the trunk, you could also try and enable VTP pruning globally on the 6509 (set vtp pruning enable). I assume you have the 6509 configured as the VTP server (set vtp mode server) ?
I am not sure if CatOS and IOS defaults to the same VTP version, can you check this (with 'show vtp domain' for CatOS and 'show vtp status' for the IOS switch) ?
Also, in a purely IOS environment, manually pruning VLANs off a trunk requires doing that only on the server side, but with a mix of CatOS and IOS, it might have to be done on both sides, you might want to give it a try and use the 'switchport trunk allowed' command on the 2950 as well...

GP
