InCopy is best for PDF creation...what do you think?

I use Apple pages 09 export to create PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (mac). I use these with my clients, and since I am a communicaitons consultant, I want them to stand out. I have found pages does not do the entire job...I must add things to the PDF in acrobat (such as flash) and pages has bugs (links don't show up in left column of links in adober reader). So, I am becoming disolutioned with pages to pdf.
I am very technically oriented and an expert computer user, so I have been thinking about moving to a more roubust word processor to make PDF documents. I understand Adobe has such word processor (InCopy I think). I will reserach it, but I am looking for advice from users. What is the best way to go?
Does InCopy allow everything to be done in InCopy (and not a 2 stage process of adding things in acrobat). Are there alternatives to InCopy that I might look at? Is there anything better for PDF creation? Print is not a big issue for me, just PDF/electronic documents.
thanks

InCopy doesn't do what you want. InCopy is designed for to create content that will eventually be placed into ID. I could be wrong, but I'd ask in the Incopy forum, not here:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/incopy/incopy_general
To some extent I think you would be better off with InDesign. It is not really a WP, but you can use Pages, TextEdit, Nisus, Mellel or any other WP as a Word Processor and then just place the content into InDesign. Can you use InCopy to place the content into InDesign, sure, but I really think of InCopy as an integrated workflow product for group content creation.

Another account user is using my apple id as their rescue email. Apple know this but expect me to contact him directly rather that let lim know his error. Seem strange and a recipe for conflict. What do you think?

Another apple account user has put my apple id as their rescue email. Apple know this but expect me to contact him directly rather that let lim know his error. Seem strange and a recipe for conflict. What do you think?

Primary and alternate email addresses need to be verified but a rescue email address doesn't, it can be added to an account and used without being verified (you will get a verify button when adding/changing it, but the system doesn't force it to be verified). I would hope that the person using the email address as their rescue email address will notice that they aren't getting reset emails and that after contacting Support to get their security questions / password reset he/she will check what they've set it to and change it. The OP won't be able to log into the other account as he/she won't know its primary or alternate ids.

A short term fix for KEYNOTE. What do you think?????

I do not need to repeat the issues that this community is identifying. I am impressed by the astute observations and good ideas that are coming from this group. While 6.0 may be a decent program for the casual user, the problems caused for professional users is profound.
I am not sure whether Apple's audiences is us anymore---the presentation professionals, and the uber-users. IF their market is not the amateur, then we may find the end of very good era, where there was a powerful tool for persuasion and storytelling. As a professional, I have moved organizations from PowerPoint to Keynote, but for the first time, are having them reconsider. While those working on a MAC can continue to use 5.3, those recently purchasing an iPad have no choice. That lack of choice is Apple's greatest insult, and I am recommend that those who agree with the text below send feedback to allow the iPad (like the MACs) keep both, and allow those with recent iPad purchases to download 5.3 (at least until the problems are remedied).
While I understand the need to make a product that works across a number of devices, the removal of 5.3 (on the iPad) has created problems with horrid financial and business consequences for many of us.
Some of the problems that I am encountering:
6.0 will not create a presentation that can be opened in 5.3, either on my computer or a client computer. (My large corporate clients are NOT going to upgrade for a while, so work I (or anyone else) would create for them on 6.0 cannot be used.. It would be suicide for me to insist that my client's IT department upgrade a product across their organization. I cannot also open anything created on the iPad, so Keynote as a creation tool on the iPad is useless.
6.0 removed features and corrupts the showing of 5.3 presentations---fonts are unavailable and corrupted, some moves are not supported, actual content displays are changed. Therefore programs look terrible if created on 5.3 and converted
6.0 automatically upgrades (without any warning) any 5.3 presentation opened if both 5.3 and 6.0 are on the MAC. If both 6.0 and 5.3 are loaded, clicking any file will open and convert it. The only option is to make sure that the file is opened via OPEN AS, but if the file is accidentally clicked, the file will be forever lost t 6.0.
There is not away to globally set 5.3 as the default option (it is supposed to work on the folder level but is broken).
Since many of us have 100s of active presentations on our computers, and since many with features are no longer supported by 6.0, it would be a mistake to upgrade to 6.0 while there still exists the problem of accidentally converting when clicking on a file.
I understand that these problems may be addressed, but it could weeks.
A recommended easy fix....
We all recommend to the engineering department to let people put 5.3 back on the iPad, at least until the fixes can be made to 6.0.
Put a SAVE AS 5.3 function on 6.0, especially on the iPad
Fix the bug that does not allow CHANGE ALL to default the opening to 5.3
Talk to national leaders (there are a few hundred) in presentations, to create a program that as good or even better than 5.3.
Again, my suggestion for a short term fix would be reinstating the ability to use 5.3 until the fixes are addressed and full featires are restored. Give us, the user, the option of which one to use. If you agree, pehaps we can get some traction by sending this recommendation as feedback.
By the way, do you realize that KEYNOTE is not even listed in Apple's pulldown menu of products..... our favorite product is considereed an "other."

Thank you Keith for your information.
In this case I am not worried about the origin of the idea and some compensation to the creator. If this modification will lead to happier costumers of Apple and more efficient use of material and thus better for the environment (as Apple claim they are always improving ) then I am satisfied.
It is good that Apple has this Policy and I agree that they can use any idea submission to them as their own. This Idea is so basic and easy to carry out that I believe that many others have thought of it.
Sometimes it can be good to get a pair of extra eyes or brain to spot were you can improve.
thanks again for your info

I think I've found the best iPhone 3G case, What do you think?

Just wanted to post some feedback on my experience with the ivyskin Glass Touch-Thru Ultrathin iPhone 3G Case.
Yes I signed up just to write this review after being a perverse voyeur on these forums for awhile now, but I am no way affiliated with ivyskin. I recommend this case hands down, it has all that I was looking for in one. It's hard shell case with real glass touch screen built into the case. All ports are covered with a soft silicon so is the home button. The best part is that they'll be introducing a QuattroPac battery extension that fits into this case later next month.
Putting it on is simple but you need to be careful about the volume switch, you need to insert the iPhone into the case from that side as instructed on the manual because I didn't want to break anything or scratch my phone, anyway it is quite simple.
You should check this case out before you look at anything else, or after you look at all the cases to compare.

Jean-Michel Massey wrote:
Is a few scratches on the back of the phone going to break it? Technology is there to be used not to pamper, do you guys have a silk pillow to let your phone rest upon at night...
No, but having slippery hands and accidentally dropping the iPhone will. A case will give you a much better grip and a lot better protection (if not 100%) should you ever drop the iPhone. I've seen people have iPhones without cases and dropping them accidentally only to have cracked their screens that they have to fork out more money to fix or replace them.
Are you really that obtuse?

Best IDE & Platform Configuration? What do you think?

What do you think the best IDE is out there? I want to compile and create applications as well as servlets and beans, but my focus would be on the beans, servlets, jsp, etc, the web stuff. Once I have the IDE for that, what is the best configuration for developing under that environment. For example I would like to use the the JavaMail API as well, and that is available for the J2EE. So I can install both the J2SE and J2EE SDK's right? Should I accept their default installation directories? Is it possible to move files, the .jar files for example over the to a single directory for centralization? Help, trying to get an understaning how to create a nice development environment. Simple, efficient, etc.
Thanks so much!!

I personally think Eclipse is outstanding. I used JBuilder for a while, but it insisted on formatting code the JBuilder way. Eclipse also has refactoring, which is a major bonus. Moving classes is now a few clicks instead of performing a search-replace on all your files. There are UML and dozens of other types of plug-in.
As far as setting-up your environment, I normally duplicate a web application's deployment. So, the external JAR's I need are in WEB-INF/lib. The IDE should take care of classpath issues, if you perform the initial project set-up properly. I would also learn Jakarta's Ant. It makes deployment a lot easier, at the expense of some up-front development.

Idea of a product development for Apple (what do you think)

This is a photoshopped picture I did of an Apple Macbook charger, were there is the ability to disconnect the cable with the magsafe unit.
This gives Apple users the ability to change the broken electric cord for a new one without out having to change the whole charger unit
as also it can be considered good for the environment
I am not sure if this has come up before, but it would be very usefull to have this option.
what do you think and is there a way to influence Apple to do this modification?

Thank you Keith for your information.

Best text chat option between PC/Mac - What do YOU think?

Hi,
What do YOU think is the best text chat option between PC's and Mac's. I am setting this up between a mac and PC and would really like to hear what people think is the best and easiest option.
Many thanks...

Adium is a really nice client that works with all IM networks.
As far as text only IM goes, they are all the same really... and most official clients suck. Go with Adium so you could use any services.
Also the default iChat works with AIM on PC's.

What do you think of this plan for a DVD?

In order to avoid problems with the interaction between the TITLE and MENU remote buttons I've reported in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151541&tstart=0 and further problems with the remote RETURN button, I am considering designing my DVD as follows:
Main menu with four buttons:
1) Play track 1
2) Play track 2 with audio stream 1
3) Go to chapter menu
4) Play story in track 2 with audio stream 2
Chapter menu with a button for each chapter and a button to return to the main menu
Disable remote TITLE button in both menus, both tracks, and the story
Set remote RETURN button in main menu to go to chapter menu
Set remote RETURN button in chapter menu to go to main menu and highlight button 3
What do you think? Is it weird that the remote TITLE button would be disabled? Is it weird that the remote RETURN button would go down from the main menu to the chapter menu?

What do you think of this Design for Multiple Threads

Hi Java Experts ;
I'm curious to know what you think about this design for a multhreaded app i'm working on.
I have a controller thread that (a.) creates threads and (b.) keeps a reference to threads that it creates (by sticking them in a hashtable along with the generated Id for that thread).
When a created thread completes its job, it decrements the thread counter and removes its reference from the hashtable before it finishes its run method.
Now here's the interesting part in my controller thread i'm creating new threads on the fly with this infinite loop
     public void run(){
          while(true){
               try{
                    Thread.sleep(500);
               }catch(InterruptedException e){
               if(threadCounter<maxThreadCount && moreJobsToDo.size()>0){
                    createDomainThread();
          }//end while
what do you think about this pattern ? My goal is to maintain about 200+ created threads running at all times with this pattern.

jeff kesslerman's book says about threads
"5.2.3 Threads
The impact that threads have on RAM footprint isn't a problem for most programs, but running threads do need space to store their stack state, and the system- specific data structures do consume memory.
Because runtime implementations vary widely in how threads are handled, you might encounter situations where the impact threads have on footprint is significant. For example, some ports of the JRE create a heavyweight OS process for each running thread. In an application that uses many threads, this means that thread costs, rather than class or object costs, can become the dominant factor in the program's memory consumption.
You shouldn't avoid using threads-they're necessary in many cases, and generally don't have a large impact on footprint. However, you should be aware that the impact can be very different across runtimes. This is one of the reasons it's a good idea to measure performance characteristics under your program's different target environments. "
Question #1: how does garbage collection go about clearing the stack state, and the system- specific data structures that consume memory.
Question #2: in my situation, each worker thread's activity is not as brief as a simple server request. Each thread does a lot work and does a lot of network connections. on average I would say 100 http request - each of which can be easily blocked or delayed significantly. Therefore each worker thread may operate for between 2 - 10 minutes.
Do you think thread pooling is useful in this situation ?

Would be nice for Apple to create means for deleting email across all devices. Time consuming device by device especially for members receiving many emails. What do you think gang?!

How about Apple creating a means to delete email across devices especially when you have like 4 Apple devices (Mac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone) Would benefit those of us receiving 13 - 1700 messages across the products. iOS 8 coming in fall. What do you think gang. Very frustrating and time consuming!!

If you have a suggestion for product improvement, provide feedback to Apple - you aren't talking to them here.

Depending on the specs of your computer, time taken to convert DVD's to an iPod-playable format can vary. On my computer (see below), it takes about 10 hours to convert a 2-hour DVD to the iPod format, using Videora.
So, due to the extremely large size of the DVD rip, it'll take a while to convert it, regardless of how fast or slow your system is.

What do you think about the iPhone 4 for my 11 year old daughter

What do you think about the iPhone 4 for my 11 year old daughter

It should be a good choice. I recently got the 5C which typically is $99 with supported carriers. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint provide attractive pricing with a two year contract or it you are adding a line to your current service. I have several friends using the 4S, and they have been very pleased with them.

You could also have a look at the following www.rollapp.com, I have only recently found it.
You have access to the full OpenOffice and LibreOffice library of program's and it syncs with Dropbox,google docs and others.
You do require an Internet connection as it is cloud based.
At present I have only used it for quick editing but I think it definitely looks promising and it is free

What do you think of tune up software for iTunes?

What do you think of Tune up sofware for Itunes?

I agree. I've used iTunes since iTunes 9.0. The new 11.0 update is horrible. With the now missing left side menu, it's very difficult to navigate. You don't know where you are or where to go. I delete everything Apple from my computer, and inverted back to iTunes 10.7.
