InDesign Help | Export content for EPUB | CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/export-content-epub-cs6.html

The Kindle whitepaper is out of date. In particular, it seems that Amazon does not accept Calibre-created.mobi files - .mobi files created by converting from .epub to .mobi in Calibre - and insists on using Kindlegen to create .mobi files. In my experience, however, Calibre does a better job of converting from .epub to .mobi than Kindlegen, and I do not know why .mobi files created by Calibre are unacceptable.

Need help with installing CS6 Design Standard

Hi all,
Bought CS6 Design standard as a download from Currys the other day. I have a list of 4 files to download.
First one is a PDF to tell me how to activate my student software.
Second is a download .exe file for design standard
Third is another .exe for illistrator content installer
Fourth is another .exe for indesign and incopy content installer.
I've donwloaded all 4 files and once i've clicked on the two content installers i then click on the design standard .exe file and up comes this error message "the file archive part of adobe cs6 design standard is missing. you need all parts in the same folder in order to extract adobe cs6 design standard. please download all parts."
As google automatically places all the download items into the downloads folder, I'm assuming I've done the correct thing and placed them all in the same folder.
I have read that you need to extract a .72 folder or something. however i cannot see that on my downloads list.
Please could someone help, or is this a case of taking my laptop into currys and demanding someone to help me??

you should contact your vendor to see where that 7z file is.
btw, it should not be manually extracted. the exe will extract the 7z file's contents.
or you may be able to download from here, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html

Re: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Trimming clips (CS6)

How do we access just the P Pro CS6 Help Reference instead of all this community content?

Regarding changes to Help, please read this document first: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/community-help.html
[Jeff Sengstack]
How do we access just the P Pro CS6 Help Reference instead of all this community content? When will Help arrive?
Jeff, this is the Help reference. It arrived the moment we shipped CS6. There is tons of new writing here for the CS6 trimming features here on this page. The documentation covers all the new features. I also have some tutorials plugged in. What is your specific complaint about the page for trimming in CS6? If there is a problem with the content being incorrect, or missing info, I can fix it. I cannot fix the way that the new Help system is designed, however, I can provide feedback to my superiors.
Also, we've been plugging in supporting community content into Help along with reference content for quite some time so that should be no surprise. We hope it is a help, rather than a hindrance. These articles and tutorials are from authors I worked with during prerelease, so tutorials are vetted, and the content is valid.
[Jim Simon]
Can't yet.
You can access the entire Help system for Premiere Pro here: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/topics.html or just press F1. This page (called the "Topics Page"), although different in appearance, has very similar chapter topics that were found in the CS5/CS5.5 Help table of contents.
The only thing you cannot yet do is download the entire Help system as a PDF. That feature is coming next month: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/x-productkb/global/cs6-help-pdf-available-june.html

I am kind of staggered that Adobe launched and released without Help Files for these CS6 products. Particularly in the case of SpeedGrade where I needed most Help. New and unfamiliar applications need Help Files for Users to get up to speed! Adobe are now relying on the cool Tutorial Videos (which have great value) but are hopeless in terms of such basics as "Setting Up" and trouble shooting. "RTFM"...What FM? I have put SpeedGrade on the backburner because of this. (I simply can not resolve some set up issues due to lack of available goto info.) May not get back to it for sometime actually.
That's not true, shooternz. Help files are available for every Adobe product. Just press F1. For Premiere Pro, the list of topics (table of contents) is here: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/topics.html Keep in mind that this is a brand new Help system, and it took extra effort to complete the content and make sure that the system functioned properly. If there are any problems with the system, please let me know. For example, search needs to be improved and that is something we know about and are working on.
SpeedGrade Help is sparse because we just got the product 6 months ago. Given our time constraints, there simply was not enough time to develop a full Help system. On behalf of Adobe, I apologize for not being able to provide full documentation for SpeedGrade. I assure you, though, that a full set of Help documentation for SpeedGrade will be available later this year. In the mean time, if you have questions about SpeedGrade, check out the user-to-user forum here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/speedgrade
[Jeff Sengstack]
The issue is not how to access Help (pressing F1), it's how to access the old Help reference. The new Help system is community-oriented and does not include access to the old Help reference file.
Do you mean you want the CS5/CS5.5 Help without the CS6 content? It's available here on PDF: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/archive.html
The "new community-oriented" Help is not new. We've been adding community content along with the reference content for some time now. If you mean to say the Help is only created by the community, that is totally incorrect. I am the writer for Premiere Pro, I include all the details of the new features, and I cull content to support the writing.
If one noodles around in community help, one will find bits and pieces of the old Help reference but no single source.
The previous Help content is included verbatim into current Help. It just has CS6 content added to it. It also "looks different" and is more search based. Again, search the PDF if you need to see the CS5/CS5.5 Help without CS6 content.
That is unfortunate, because Community Help is a cobbled-together, clumsy means to find solutions. Wheras, when using the old Help reference, it was a lot easier to quickly track down answers to basic questions.
I would really like to pinpoint what you are missing from CS5/CS5.5 Help. Why is it harder now to find what you need? The main differences I see is that there are no "next page" buttons, or hierarchy links. Is this what is bothering you? By the way, you can return to the topics page by clicking "Adobe Premere Pro Help" in the upper left of the page.
[Wodehouse]
I thought something had gone wrong with Master Collection installation because not a single product has any HELP guide!!!!
Help systems are no longer managed by the Community Help Client and are now handled by the Adobe Help Manager. There may be edge cases where Help might not appear in previous systems. Check the Adobe Help Manager and see if you can have access to the Help that you want. More on the Adobe Help Manager in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1000134

Your Current color settings honor CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be ignored when document was created

"Your Current color settings honor CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be ignored when document was created"
I keep receiving this message on my illustrator files. They are linked to a file in Indesign that when saved as a PDF prints the wrong colors. I have been trying to fix this for two days. I have look online for answer in forums and articles and nothing works i am completely burn out, lost and angry Please help. This is a Picture book project that can not to sent to the author in this condition.

Your Illustrator files have images linked in them?
THis message tells you that color management had been set up differently when you created the document. In color management settings you have the choice if color profiles in linked images are ignored (and Illustrator uses just the CMYK numbers) or if those profiles are honored (and Illustrator converts the CMYK numbers according to the image profile and your settings into the Illustrator document's color profile).
What makes the whole thing even more complicated is that you placed the thing into InDesign.
So there might be 4 different color profiles interacting with each other:
1. the linked image's profile
2. the AI document's color profile
3. the InDesign document's color profile
4. The export profile in InDesign.
Is your color management set up and synchronized in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign?
Is it possible to place the images directly in InDesign? That is: create vector content in Illustrator and have photos separately? Then combine them in Illustrator?
How do you know they print the wrong colors? Just seeing them on your monitor won't tell you, unless your system is correctly color calibrated.

Upgrade only Indesign CS5.5 to CS6 (instead of whole Design Premium)

Hi,
is it possible to upgrade only my Indesign CS5.5 to CS6, instead of upgrading my whole Design Premium Suite?
I purchased the indesign-upgrade, but now I can't install it.
thanks!

you should contact adobe support. if anyone can help you upgrade from a suite to an individual producet, then can.
i don't believe they will be able to do that in which case you'll probably need to contact them about a refund.
so, in either case, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

How to find out URL of Masthead Help Link

Hi Experts,
I am working for a support project. Implementation team has long back left the project. I have to change the 'Help' link URL of Masthead area. There are three links in Masthead - Logoff, Personalize and Help.
At present when we are clicking on 'Help' link of Masthead, user is routed following website:
https://www.xyz.com.
In the new scenarion, when the user will click on 'Help' link of Masthead, user should be routed following website:
https://www.abc.com.
I can see the following property of Masthead iView:
Show Link in Masthead: Help
I am unable to find out where the URL has been stored.
Can you please let me know. Is it in UME or any other place? If yes, where excatly in UME.
I searched a lot in the code. I got the file (com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead) from server. After that I imported it in NWDS. I searched a lot in various places of NWDS. I can not see the URL.
It seems that javascript:openHelp is helping in getting URL. If yes, how?
<TD nowrap >
<hbj:link id="HelpLink" tooltip="<%=helpTooltipStr%>"
     linkDesign="FUNCTION" reference="#">
                                      <% if (!isPreview) { HelpLink.setOnClientClick("javascript:openHelp();");} %>
                                      <hbj:textView nested="true" text="<%=helpTextStr%>"/>
                                    </hbj:link>
</TD>

Please help.

Hi Sushil,
It seems that I don't have the correct masthead par file. I have got the masthead file from BASIS. It is com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead
The existing masthead par file has following setting in portalapp.xml
<property name="HelpUrl" value="http://help.sap.com/content/documentation/netweaver/docu_nw_04s.htm">
          <property name="plainDescription" value="Help Link URL"/>
          <property name="category" value="Navigation"/>
        </property>
        <property name="ShowLogInLogOffLink" value="true">
          <property name="validvalues" value="4/true5/false"/>
          <property name="plainDescription" value="Show Link in Masthead: Log In / Log Off"/>
          <property name="longDescription" value="Show or hide the 'Log In' / Log Off' link displayed in the masthead iView at runtime."/>
          <property name="category" value="Navigation"/>
        </property>
        <property name="HelpUrl" value="http://help.sap.com/nw04 ">
          <property name="plainDescription" value="Help Link URL"/>
          <property name="category" value="Navigation"/>
        </property>
This does not contain link https://www.xyz.com
Does this mean that the mathead par I am having is wrong.
Please suggest.

Gary

By editing the default framwork page and giving the help url to my requirement I can give only one url under navigation.But my requirement is dynamic which will be depending on my page which I browse.

Can anyone that works wirth xml in InDesign help me

I am trying to create a schema to get an Excel workbook into xml so I can take that information and make a member list in inDesign CS6 so I don't have to type it by hand. This is the schema:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<element name="memberList">
    <member>
        <lastname>LastName</lastname>
        <firstname>FirstName</firstname>
        <phone>555-555-5555</phone>
        <streetaddress>streetaddress</streetaddress>
        <city>City</city>
        <state>State</state>
        <zipcode>Zip code</zipcode>
        <email>email</email>
    </member>
</element>
</schema>
When I bring the schema into Excel, everything seems to be fine except that the top of the tree is wrong in excel. memberList is nott at the top ot the tree. When I pull it over to populate the cells I get no names but when i click on the cell it highlights the proper name in the tree.
Schema
     element
          name
     member
          lastname
          firstname
          phone

Can anyone that works wirth xml in inDesign help me

I typically get XML from a database, or an Excel sheet without the troublesome XML mapping. Once I simply received an Access database. Access spits out XML in a mostly usable state.
I use an XML editor that converts the Excel sheet to XML, do any needed transformations, search and replaces, etc in the editor, then save it as an XML I use in ID. The editor is XML Blueprint. I often do other manipulations using UltraEdit as I have long used it for programming and am comfortable with it.
I did a test in Excel's requisite mapping and found it so cumbersome I didn't successfully get it to export in the 20 minutes it took me to try it. I suspect I could do it with more head scratching but I don't have much hair left.
But I'll give it another try later today or tonight and see if I can help in the way you want to go about it.
Take care, Mike

Where is help link on 'How to ask a question' ?

Using Thunderbird.
Tried to see where the Help > Help contents link opens.
Unfortunately, it does not open on the expected webpage with the immediate help link on 'How to ask a question'.
the link would then take the user to getsatisfaction/mozilla_messaging website.
I use the link to instruct Thunderbird users on what to include when asking a question.
Where is the page that contains this vital information?

Sorry Diego.
Initially, i was just trying to see what on earth was going on with this website, as it was not behaving as expected.
Obviously, it has been significantly updated.
So I possed a question to see if I would be redirected to the getsatisfaction/mozilla_messaging website.
Obviously no.
Then I discovered that it is impossible to retract /delete an asked question.
Not helpful, I can only edit the question, so I have edited the question.
If you know the link where I can tell people to read when they want to know what details need to be included, then I would be most grateful.
The information will tell people what to include when answering a question:
this was the link:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird#w_how-to-ask-your-question
there is no information on that page with regard to ' how to ask your question' so where has it gone?
It instructes precisely what to include

Make Portal masthead's help link languague independent?

Hi Team / Experts,
I need to make the help hyperlink in the masthead languague independent.
I know that the content of the help page is stored and maintained in the Portal KM content but it is an HTML file.
And the link to the help page is specified in the ***.masthead iview property
So what is the best solution to do this?
- Shoud i do it with a parameter and control it in the htlm file by reading the parameter and changing the content visible or redirecting it to another page? (then i have to change the html to some jsp file)
- Can i redirect to another page by clicking the help url directly
Regards,
Michael

Hi Jithin,
The link that you've shared talks about a different scenario.
In my case, I want to pass the portal user id when the user clicks on the Help Link present in the header area.
I am trying to pass it along with the Help Link Url property of a masthead iview but it is not getting passed to the target Url.
I would like to know if it is possible to pass the Portal User Id in this way or not.
Though if we create a appintegrator iview and pass the user id <User.UserID> along with the target Url, it reaches there.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag
