Importing PDF with vectora data into PS CS5?

Hello,
I've done some research, and have the feeling that what I'm asking for is not possible, but I just wanted to make sure, and see what other options there may be.
Here's my situation:
I'm trying to get an Excel sheet into a brochure-type document that I'm making in PS CS5. I would like the Excel data to still have that crisp look of the vector data, and be able to be scaled up or down, searched for, etc. I've got the Excel sheet saved as a PDF, looks fine when opened in Acrobat, etc... all the text is there, etc. When I go and open it in PS, it is all rasterized and loses it's clean look and the ability to size it up / down without losing the quality.
Is there any way in Photoshop to make this possible? If not, what other options should I look into? I believe it's doable in Illustrator, but I'm not sure, and I'm just looking for some other options.
Any help is much appreciated!
Trevor

Would I need both of these programs (Inkscape and Scribus) in order to do this? If so, are there any tutorials or anything that can help me out with it? I'm playing with the Inkscape program at the moment, but I'm new to it, so I'm not sure exactly what to do.
Unfortunately, my 30 day trial of InDesign and Illustrator have expired, and I just don't have any real use other than getting a PDF into a Photoshop (psd) file. I'm hoping that as I progress, InDesign and Illustrator will be beneficial for me in other ways, which would justify the purchase a little further.
If this is possible with the mentioned programs
If you could give me any more insight, it would be much appreciated... Thanks a bunch!
Trevor

How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?

Hi;
How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?
Developed a DBase application for a vertical market using MS Access. Worked on it for over a decade.
Have been in contact with a rather large company and we are talking about licensing my program with them.
BUT; they want it "On the Cloud"
Here is what needs to be accomplished. Ideally a user can log in from anywhere, (similar to on-line banking), enter data and print reports.
Read this a few days ago:
"If I were in your situation and felt that there's a growth market for your offerings, I would personally go with a PHP/MySQL-based model. The printing issue can be readily resolved with PDF-based output.
So the Querys, Forms and VBA Code needs to be brought in from MS Access to Dreamweaver.
Can this be done? Or is there a better way that I haven't learned yet?
Would someone be so kind and point me in the correct direction.
Thank You for taking the time to read this post.
Andy

>Can this be done?
No, not any way that I know of. You would need to completely rewrite this as a web application. Obviously the MS Access tables can be migrated to MySQL and the Access queries converted to views. But the forms and custom code needs to be written from scratch in html and your choice of server side programming language.

Writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into a Oracle table

Hello,
As a new DBA I have been tasked with writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into an Oracle table. I have been given many suggestions on how to do it from SQL Server but I I just need to write a stored procedure to run it from the Oracle side. Suggestions/guidance on where to start would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I started to write it based on what I have but I know this is not correct :/
# Here is the select statement for the data source in SQL Server...
SELECT COMPANY
,CUSTOMER
,TRANS_TYPE
,INVOICE
,TRANS_DATE
,STATUS
,TRAN_AMT
,CREDIT_AMT
,APPLD_AMT
,ADJ_AMT
,TRANS_USER1
,PROCESS_LEVEL
,DESCRIPTION
,DUE_DATE
,OUR_DATE
,OUR_TIME
,PROCESS_FLAG
,ERROR_DESCRIPTION
FROM data_source_table_name
#It loads data into the table in Oracle....
Insert into oracle_destination_table_name (
COMPANY,
CUSTOMER,
TRANS_TYPE,
INVOICE,
TRANS_DATE,
STATUS,
TRANS_AMT,
CREDIT_AMT,
APPLD_AMT,
ADJ_AMT,
TRANS_USER1,
PROCESS_LEVEL,
DESCRIPTION,
DUE_DATE,
OUR_DATE,
OUR_TIME,
PROCESS_FLAG,
ERROR_DESCRIPTION)
END;

CREATE TABLE statements would have been better as MS-SQL and Oracle don't have the same data types.
OUR_DATE, OUR_TIME will (most likely) be ONE column in Oracle.
DATABASE LINK
Personally, I'd just load the data over a database link:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_table@mssql_db_link
As far as creating the database link from Oracle to MS-SQL ... that is for somebody else to answer.
(most likely you'll need to use an ODBC driver)
EXTERNAL TABLE
If the data from MS-SQL is in a CSV file, just use and external table.
same concept:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_external_table

Import PDF with spot channels

Is there a way to import a pdf with spot colors into photoshop, so that a spot channel is made for each spot color? (Instead of converting them to cmyk)
Maybe if I could find a way to export every spot color from the 'output preview' as a different pdf, then it would be possible by manually importing them into photoshop. And I guess that would be scriptable.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Images with spot colors created by Photoshop and saved as PSD, reopen in Photoshop without problem.
If you have an existing PDF file that you need to edit, go back to the original design file in the original design program to manipulate the separate inks/channels.

IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

Hi!
When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Thanks!

well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
and as to
As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting - Batch change for missing dates like with scans

How to import files with static variables into a block with methods?

i have a problem. is it possible to import files with static variables into tags like

//whitch is used to set jdbc constants like url,driver,...
private void method() {
private void method2() {

How can I populate a pdf with database data?

How can I populate a pdf that we have on our server with database data on our server?

Actually, if you export it in the right format then you won't need a script
at all.
You can import data directly into fields from a plain-text file via Tools -
Forms - More Form Options - Import Data...
I believe the format is tab-delimited with the field names in the first row
and their values in the second.

Exporting to PDF with Vector/Transparency issues? (huge file)

Hi folks
I have a 36 page magazine in Indesign which has a lot of illustrator images placed in, some of which have transparency applied. The images are xmas icons and there are 10 or so on each illustrator file so there are only 3/4 illustrator files placed but they are done many times over within the Indesign file.
When I export to PDF the file size is huge. 154mb. I am sure it is to do with the vectors/transparency, but dont know how to correct this to bring the PDF file size down. Any ideas?
Thanks

To echo Peter's response, 154 MB for a 36 page magazine is not necessarily all that large, especially if the content is graphically rich.
There is some information you are not providing us. For example, how are you bringing in the Illustrator artwork? And with what settings are you exporting PDF?
In the first case, the most efficient way to bring Illustrator content into InDesign is to save the Illustrator artwork as PDF/X-4 and place the resultant file into InDesign. InDesign is more likely to reuse the content for PDF export if the content is placed in that manner.
In the second case, content with transparency can yield very bloated PDF if you export PDF with flattened transparency such as you would get with the PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3 export settings from InDesign (or for the Illustrator-based imported content, PDF saved from Illustrator with such settings). Again, we recommend PDF/X-4 for PDF export maintaining live transparency and original color spaces with ICC profiles and avoiding the bloat caused by transparency flattening and conversion of RGB to CMYK.

How to Best Import QuarkXpress 8.0 Files into InDesign CS5

Folks,
Searched the forum, but I'm only finding info on older versions of Quark and InDesign.
I've got a ton of end user documents in QuarkXpress 8.0 that I need to import into InDesign CS5. (These are installation and operation manuals for data and telephony modems with lots of illustrations and diagrams in them.) I just downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS5 and could use some help.
The import procedure (for the older software) looked to be quite cumbersome. I'm hoping that InDesign CS5 is more capable and efficient at importing QuarkXpress files. I also read about Q2ID by Markzware. Does that product work with InDesign CS5, or is it even necessary with InDesign CS5?
Any advice and guidance will be appreciated. Got to get started soon!
Thanks for your help!

Hello Joel,
Thanks for your comments. I've done enough conversions in the past 25+ years as a tech writer to know that I will be faced with some clean-up efforts after the import.
My Quark template is pretty simple... one big text box on the right-hand side of each page (landscape), leaving the left-hand side of each page for my illustrations and graphics to be placed.
I think my biggest conversion problem is going to involve these graphics. Many of them have text callouts (in text boxes) with arrows (made with Quark graphics) pointing to the proper spot on the illustration or graphic. I'm wondering how well those will all convert and import. I do have them all grouped in Quark. By that I mean that one graphic and all of its associated text callouts and arrows are grouped.
I guess I'll find out!

Populating Existing PDF with XDP data

I have a fill-in PDF that, in years past, used a simple XFDF file to populate. Using VS.NET 2010 I read in the XFDF document and populate all the necessary information and populate the PDF using ds.WriteXML(XFDFName). The PDF gets populated and it gets displayed in a simple WinForm app. This has worked like a champ for a few years now. Until now...
This year, the problem I have run into is I was unable to export the data to an XFDF format due to the file having been created in Adobe LiveCycle. I noticed that the export options were either (1) XML or (2) XDP. In the past I'd been able to export to XFDF. No big deal I thought, just another format. However, I have been struggling with both of these options. After some deliberating I decided to use the XDP format.
I have the dataset built with all of the information I need, I am receiving an error when opening the newly created XDP using Process.Start(XDPName). Reader opens and I am greeted with the following error: "Adobe Reader could not open 'GUID_HERE.xdp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I tried using a straight up href to the PDF (<pdf href="FillMeIn.pdf" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/">), but opted to stick the PDF in the XDP in the <chunk> section.
This XDP file looks like this (thanks stack overflow):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<?xfa generator='AdobeDesigner_V7.0' APIVersion='2.2.4333.0'?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp='http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/'>
    <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa='http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/'>
        <xfa:data>
               XML is here - matching the dynamic fields in the PDF.
        </xfa:data>
    </xfa:datasets>
    <pdf xmlns=\"http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/\"><document>
       <chunk>
                    Base64 encoded PDF.
        </chunk>
    </document></pdf>
</xdp:xdp>
I would think the XDP I'm generating is bogus - but to further complicate things - if I open Reader click Tools > Forms > More Form Options > Manage Form Data > Import Data and choose the XDP file that I've generated, all the fields are populated as I expect them to be.
So basically, there is obviously a disconnect somewhere. I have a XDP file with all the information in it I need. I have a PDF form that I need to populate with the XDP. But when I fire up the XDP Reader is telling me it's broken/not supported. As I understand it, when you launch an XDP file it should properly launch/populate using Reader, correct?
Any information would help me out immensely. Thanks.

Was the form you are trying to import this data to created with LiveCycle Designer?
I would fill in the form then export the data to XDP and see what the differences are.

Problems importing PageMaker 6.52 file into InDesign CS5

I have an 11-year old file that I need to import into either InDesign CS5 or FrameMaker 9 on Windows 7. The file was originally done on a Mac, so it had no extension. I have tried adding the .PM6 extension, but when that didn't work, I tried the .P65 extension. I know from the PDF properties that the file was done in PageMaker 6.52, but I don't have PageMaker, and neither does the original author at this point.
When I try to import the file into InDesign CS5, I get this message: "The PageMaker document is damaged and cannot be recovered." (Note that I am using CS5, not CS2, so the issues I've seen posts about should not apply.)
When I try to impor the file into FrameMaker 9, I get this message: "The filter encountered an error and could not complete the translation."
I could try converting the PDF, but I'd like to get this file converted if that is possible.
I am posting this in the FrameMaker forum as well to see if they may have any insights.
Tammy

It could well be that the error message is accurate and the file is damaged.
If you’re on Windows you could download the PM 7 trial and try opening it with that. If that works, resave the file and then move it to InDesign.
BTW, you keep saying import. InDesign cannot import a PM file, it can only open them.

Trying to import boujou .ma tracking data into after effects, seems like it doesn't support the file.

I have tried everything to try and get this to work; i have tried multiple settings in boujou, i have imported the .ma file into maya and exported with baked keyframes and only the camera selected etc. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I am wondering whether Adobe has cut support for .ma files altogether, which is a real pain in my *** as the built in 3d track just isn't good enough. I have tried dragging the file into after effects, i have tried importing it neither of which do anything. The .ma files don't even show up, i have to select 'all files' under the file type when i choose import to even see the files, and when i click them it doesn't recognize it as tracking data, it'll try and import it as a .PNG file or something. I can't seem to find any plugins that would enable me to import .ma files. I just need that tracking data as a Camera in my scene and i don't care how it is done. Additionally, i have tried exporting as a .txt file and copying and pasting that data into a camera, which doesn't work (unless im doing it completely wrong).
Thankyou for reading

I also experience this problem. My mp4 clips has been taken with a Samsung NV24HD camera and are HD (720p). I haven't tried to convert these clips but I think it should not be necessary since I can play them in quick time. However I have perian installed, perhaps that's why they play in quick time? The next question is then: Is there a similar plugin to iMovie?

How to import pdf with hyperlink and and maintain its hyperlink while exporting it as HTML?

We can import pdf in indesign either using plaacemultiplefile script or using place submenu under file menu but both of them import pdf as graphic object and lost its all hyperlink. no doubt when i again export its as pdf than hyperlink are there as it is but when i export it as HTML,IDML or other format than than all hyperlink are lost so is there any way to maintain this if no than is there any way to write some new script utilities which will do the same .one solution i think is first convert pdf into docx and than import it as docx indesign import it as text frame and maintain all hyperlink but in this process pdf file lost its some formating while converting it into docx .

I probably should've remembered "rtfm" before writing all that. It seems to me now that I need to create a Master Page for each of the different layouts, then dynamically select the one I want to use at run-time, maybe with a script event ? The Master Page creation is a bit messy ... the only way I seem to be able to get multiple Master Pages is to open each Word doc, let Livecycle import it, then copy all the content into a new Master Page in my main document. That is, there doesn't seem to be a way to import a series of Word docs directly into separate Master pages of a single Livecycle form. I'll continue with the "read" part of "rtfm" ...
