Importing a "spanned" P2 file when it's not spanned...?

I've got a weird-o clip, shot as a DVCPRO HD/23.98 xmf file on a P2 card.
My cameraman copied the original P2 cards into his laptop during the shoot, and then onto a small drive for transport into my system.
In Log and Transfer, I have one file that says it's spanned.
The cameraman, however, insists that it's not spanned, and that I have the entire file.
Is there a way to mark a spanned file as unspanned so it can successfully be imported?

Unless the only clip on that card (and now folder) is 4 minutes long, then it will be spanned. Again, because of the data size limit, no file can be over 4GB. If you have a shot that is 16min...roughly 16GB, then that clip will be broken up into four parts...and those parts will span from one to the next. It will NOT, repeat NOT be one clip. It will be SPANNED across those four files. Open the VIDEO folder...notice that you have more than ONE file in there.
And never break the file structure up. FCP, and Avid, will not import if the structure is not intact.
#36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported.

Hi Guys,
I upgrade from leopard to snow and now I don't have the possibility anymore to to print PDF as a PDF.
Before I was going to print and then choose save as a pdf and everything ok.
Now after the upgrade to snow every time that I am going to print a pdf from a pdf (acrobat 9 and X) I received this msg "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save "
Why that happened ? how can I fix it?
The thing is that I have a pdf form (contract) that I have to fill up and print it as a pdf.
Now I can't do that I can save only the form with the fields unlock.
thanks you in advance for your help.

Ah.. this is so annoying filled in a long form.. which doesn't allow saving.. I assumed as normal with this type of form I could print to PDF and at least get a electronic copy.. but no, I made the mistake of installing Adobe Reader.. and it has screwed up the print options.. when I try to save as PDF from the print menu I get the helpful suggestion
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
When I do as suggested.. it helpfully tells me that it will only save a "blank form"..
Adobe has badly messed up their reader.. I now need to print out and then scan this document to get the electronic copy I need.. I will be uninstalling promptly after this fiasco..

AcroPro9, snow leopard, "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported"

Hi,
I have AcroPro9.1.3 (and 8 and 7 and Dreamweaver CS3, and probably other stuff too) on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
I've read about de-installing the Acrobat printer and using "save as Adobe PDF" from the PDF button on the print menu. However, when I try this, I'm told "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported". Note that this is AcroPro9, not AcroReader. I get the same message when I try any of the other options under the PDF menu on the printer menu in Acrobat. In other applications, tho, (eg powerpoint), the PDF button works fine.
Before the upgrade, the PDF button on the print menu didn't work either (same message), so I used the Adobe printer, but now I can't. I had always assumed that AcroPro was stopping me from using Apple's PDF generator in favour of the Adobe one. But maybe some of my settings are wrong.
I now cannot print to PDF from Acrobat. Help. There are 120 fourth year software engineering students who will appreciate any help I get, as I can then post my recent lecture notes for them.
(What I really want to do is to take my powerpoint slides and print 4-up versions directly. But the PPT idea of 4up wastes a lot of space, so I generate 1up PDF, and the 4up PDF from that using Acrobat. At least, I used to. It was so much easier in the old days with Latex and psnup ...)
-- Mike G.

My current solution is to print from Preview instead (which will let me use the Adobe print facility, unlike Acrobat itself).
In fact, I pretty much have no need for Acrobat at the moment.
Adobe and Apple between them seem to have some real problems with Snow Leopard. I can't get Dreamweaver to run anymore without immediately crashing (yes I looked through the help forums, deleted settings, etc etc). So I'm now looking for a replacement tool for Dreamweaver and will likely use that from now on.
Adobe is not looking very good to me at the moment. YMMV.

Message error: "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save."

I have 2 problems creating a .ps file.
As i know, there are 2 ways of creating a Postcript file from a PDF.
The first is from the Print monitor. I go through menu File/Page Setup i give the exact dimensions from my spreaded pages and after that i go to Print and when this window opens,
i go down and left and i open the pop-up menu on"PDF" and i choose "Save PDF as Postscript"
There is where i get the above error message :
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
And the second scenario, i get an equal problem.
If i go to Page setup and give the right dimensions of my spreaded document, after that i go to the File/Save as command, there is choose from the bottom pop-up menu, the option at Format: Postscript
If i do that i get the following message:
"The document could not be saved. An internal error occured."
What is wrong with all this?
Can anyone help me out?
System preferences.
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Acrobat professional 8.1.2
Thank you

The import tab on the file dropdown menu is not functional under any type ussage, I want to import bookmarks from internet explorer

The Import tab of the file drop down menu will not highlight (function) when I follow all the instructions of firefox help. I want to import bookmarks from Internet explorer. At no time does the Import tab ever react when I move the cursor over it.
Thanks

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

How do I find the bookmarks file when I can not load the application? I.e., I can not get to the library.

My laptop died. The hard drive is in a case and accessible. It is connected to a 10 year old Pentium. How can I retrieve the bookmarks file from the Laptops drive when I can not load Firefox from that drive? I.e., I can not get to the library on the Laptop drive. I do have full access to it.

You can locate main bookmarks file, '''places.sqlite''', for restoration in another Firefox install, in your profile directory.
Since you profile is on another hard drive, the normal shortcuts to find it won't work.
On Windows XP, you can find the profile here:
''C:''\Documents and Settings\''Windows login/user name''\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''xxxxxxxx.default''
Where:
* C:\ is replaced by the drive letter you mounted the laptop drive on.
* Windows login/username is replaced with your windows user name you used on that hard drive.
* xxxxxxxx.default is replaced with 8 random characters followed by .default, and should be the only folder in Profiles.
Once you've found the old profile, you can copy files over to a new profile. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile and [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] for other files you may want to restore.

Import error on XMP files when bringing in image sequences to AE cs6

Hey everyone,
I'm having difficulty getting AE 6 to import my still image timelapse sequences. It throws an error called-unsupported file type extension. I did not have this problem with cs 5.5.
My workflow goes as follows.
-bring RAW stills into bridge and batch edit them in camera raw.
-move stills to LR timelapse and de-flicker them
-import still sequence into after effects.
The xmp files should change as I edit them in camera raw and in LR timelapse but they will not import into AE cs6.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks for your time.

They are still pictures that were shot in RAW on a still camera. It calls them cr2 files in windows explorer. They are raw image files brought into bridge and when edited in camera raw-the metadata is saved to an xmp file that accompanies each image. Then you bring the images into LR timelapse and it just adjusts the xmp(metadata) files to deflicker them. Much in the same way that camera raw works. You do not have to export the still at all because all of these changes are saved in the metadata. Then you drop the still sequence into AE and export it as video. It just wont let me export them into cs6 with these xmp files.
The raw files are called cr2 files and without the xmp file-they will import into AE. I tried importing some other camera raw files (NEF files) into AE with the xmp's and it worked. For some reason it does not like these RAW cr2 files with the xmp metadata.
Thanks for your time and help,

Loading new class files when they are not available when the JVM starts

Simple Question
Is it possible to load class if it was not compiled when the original JVM was launched?
More Detailed Question
Our build system is getting a slight tweak with a new test runner. After our build system compiles the file, I would like to be able to load the files that have just been compiled.
Our build system runs inside its own JVM and calls ant scripts to run the different processes(Separate JVM). The new test runner will also be called from the build system(Same JVM) but not as an ant target. Is it possible to call the newly compiled files from inside the build system JVM if they had not been created on the start of that JVM using reflection?
Thanks in Advanced!

Can a ring control be populated using a separate text file when VI loads (not running)?

I would like to know if there is a way to populate a ring or enum control list using values maintained in a text file (or other format) outside of a VI. I have to be able to call this VI from TestStand or LabVIEW, and would like to be able to use the drop down interface to pick from the list of selections. As a result, the ring or enum list would need to be updated before the VI runs. I want to avoid just using a string to prevent typo's from creating errors. There would be several different VI's getting the list values from this text file. Is this possible, or am I way off base? Or does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks everyone,
q.

Thanks for the replies. I had a chance to play with ring controls and updating the string array dynamically.
However, as I mentioned in my first post, one of the reasons I want to use dynamically updated lists is to have a readable drop down list in TestStand when you configure a step (i.e. Specify Module). This would help serve as a part of a hardware abstraction layer, and for maintainability purposes we don't want to split the hardware map among a number of VI's.
Unfortunately, TestStand doesn't seem to recognize the string list from a ring control. And as mentioned above, there are issues with updating Enums. Is it possible to accomplish a way of dynamically populating this list in such a way that TestStand will recognize it? Is there another control that would work better (e.g. list boxes, combo boxes, etc.)?
Thanks for your help,

HT2506 How do I compress a Preview file when there is not a "save as" option?

I am trying to compress a jpg or a pdf in preview. I have read the answer: save as, etc. My Preview doesn't have a "save as" option, just "save". Is there another way to compress it?

Use the Export menu option.
Choose JPEG and there is a slider for compression (quality).

Premiere CS4 is Creating Multiple files when rendering

We have used Adobe Premiere for just over seven years now with great success. Five days per week we create videos with Adobe Premiere with three computers. We presently upgraded to the new CS4. The computer that that program is installed on is used to edit 30 and sixty minute television shows. The files start out as .AVI files then, when finished they are rendered and saved as MPG2 files.
We are currently experiencing a problem with this new program that we have not ever experienced in the past. Description of problem:
We import a 30 or 60 minute .avi file into a project. We then place it on the timeline. On these timelines there are only the video layer and the audio layer, no more than that. We then make the editing changes that are necessary. We then go to export the file to the Adobe Encoder to be saved as a MPG2. When we do this, while in the process of encoding the file, Premiere will create four (4) files when it was not told to do so. When this happens of course with a 60 minute file, it can take a very long time to encode, (because it is creating multiple files). We have needed to stop the process, and change the name. This sometimes works, and sometimes it does not.
We are hoping that someone has come across this before and can help us. I have looked at different sources to find the answer to this. I called Adobe direct, and it was suggested that I try this forum. Any help would this would be very appreciated. Thank you.

OK. These are all of the screen shots with the settings. I hope that you can find something.
Thank you

How to avoid output file and error lines when condition does not match

Hi Experts
A customer want to send purchase order files to several vendors and each vendor has their own requirement to content and file format. I have prepared scenarios for each vendor and a template is (conditionally) called when CardCode matches. It works fine, - PO file is generated when CardCode matches, but error lines are written to SAP B1 Control Center each time CardCode does not match the one defined in a scenario (100 or more times per day). Problem is that these error lines does not get automatic deleted. Conditional processing are made in this way:
Result Message in SAP B1 Control Center when CardCode does not match:
I tried to avoid an error line in SAP B1 Control Center when CardCode does not match in this way:
Then no error lines are written to SAP B1 Control Center, but an output file is generated each time (order file when CardCode matches and an empty file when CardCode does not match).
Any suggestions on how to avoid both errors types (error lines in SAP B1 Control Center and empty output files)?
Or - can lines in SAP B1 Control Center be automatic deleted?

Hi Steen,
using <b1im_skip> should be the right approach, if you're working with B1 OUTBOUND.
Following extract form the B1i help describes the usage to skip the outbound processing:
1.1 Skipping Outbound Processing
If you do not want to hand over the message to the receiver system, the scenario step can create a special tag that indicates to generic processing in the integration framework to skip the message processing.
Add the following to the final transformation atom (atom0):
<b1im_skip xmlns= ”” info=”my info” msglog=”true” msgout="yes">
If the integration framework skips the message, it puts the message log information to the Filtered section, if the message log is switched on. The result message contains the Message skipped by vBIU logic information.
info
To display an individual message, define it using the info attribute.
msglog
If you want to avoid an entry in the message log, introduce the msglog attribute and set it to false.
msgout
To display the skip information in the Success section of the message log, use the msgout attribute and set it to yes.
In case you don't want any MsgLogEntry in case of a skipped message, please enter the following in final atom0:
<xsl:template name="transform">
<xsl:attribute name="pltype">xml</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$msg/BOM/BO/Documents/row/CardCode='C20000'">
