IPad Preview question

Hi, apologies if this has been asked before but is it possible to give the user a preview of the magazine you expect them to purchase on Apples Newsstand? Right now it appears to be limited to the front cover. It would be good to allow the user 'flick' through the magazine in thumbnail style to give them an impression of whats inside (just like on Newsstand in a shop). It looks like other publishing software offer this feature.
And part B of that question is, if I have a free (for the user) sample issue amongst my paid issues, I assume I have to pay the folio download cost for each free sample downloaded?
Thanks for any feedback.

For Part A of your question, no, it's not currently possible to offer a preview of a pay folio (either via thumbnails of the content or partial reading of some part of the content).
For Part B of your question, yes, the free folios count against the download cost. You can read more about that in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4064294#4064294. Bob provided a good set of answers around how free folios work, in particular in relation to multi-issue publications and the iTunes store.
Hope this helps,
Neil

Overprint Preview question and another issue...

Hi...
CS4, Win XP.
Overprint Preview question:
The other day i sent a file for printing (poster) in PDF and CS2 formats. For some reason, the printer converted the file to a .tif and then printed. Parts dropped out... Both the PDF and CS2 files looked fine.Description follows:
1/ Background black
2/ Design element over the black (blue lines to form a wave).
3/ Logo in red and white. Plus a line of text in red. And other text in white.
The white of the logo vanished. The red line of text kind of vanished... printed very faintly and only (i think in parts). Printer tried to do a patch job of printing the line separately and pasting... anyway... to cut a long story short, he wanted the final output in .tif. OK...
So, i converted to tif and sure enough... those parts vanished... did a search here and found the solution - view file in Overprint Preview and then in Attributes, turn off the Overprint Fill... so all well...
So, the question is, why does this happen? And, how, do i know in advance that x or y is likely to cause a problem? I have noticed in Bridge that sometimes, parts of a logo or a line of text does not show... but looks fine in AI or Acrobat... now realise the cause, but not the reason.
The other issue...
Same black background(s)... placed Photoshop file/s with a transparent background... Prints fine at the printers (various machines and media) ... But on the laserprinter an HP Color Laser Jet CP1510 series, there's a dark patch around the image (the actual file area).
Again, any ideas?
Cheers...

<snipped>... so if your looking for this forum to play detective and tell you who in your workflow set the elements to overprint, I don't think this can be done. I don't think I have ever seen Illustrator set any elements to overprint all by its self. <snipped>
Hi PrepressPro...
Many thanks for your earlier inputs, but not quite sure where you got the idea that i want someone or anyone to play detective... i've understood the Overprint problem... and moved on. If anything, maybe i was just musing and wondering if any particular action turns on "Overprint Fill"...
Or maybe, i was referring to the second question which has not been resolved yet... Quoting it below for easy reference:

To elaborate, the pix above are product shots which have been cut out and placed on a transparent background... The PS file is then placed in AI CS4 with the object option selected to maintain transparency. The transparent area is printing darker on the printer above. But is fine when sent to commerciqal printers...
Attached is a scan of the problem...

Table of Contents Showing on Desktop, but not in iPad preview

The table of contents was working just fine, meaning that it showed in both the work on the desktop and then when I sent a preview to the iPad.
I'm not sure what I have done, but now, while the TOC shows on the desktop version, it doesn't show up in the iPad preview.
Not sure where to start to solve this. Any help or tips would be great.

Update: I don't know why, but it has started working again on its own. I suspect that shutting down everything and restarting helped, but I don't know for sure. I'm just glad it is working again! Peace.

Overprint Preview question

I am trying to print a film positive for a spot UV job that is supposed to have some text reversed out of it. Output Preview does not show the text. My RIP does not see it either. I can only see the knocked-out text when I turn off overprint preview in Acrobat preferences. I guess my question is what did the artist do wrong when he made the PDF? Also, is there a preflight profile I should use on all the files I receive, to prevent this confusion from happening again?
I am using Acrobat 9.5.1 on Windows 7
RIP is Roland VersaWorks

Do you know what software the artwork was created in?
If I didn't see reversed text, I would first check that the reverse field object was not set to overprint -- which would eliminate reversed-out type. Some other issues can interfere with reversed type -- using an unavailable font for example, or the text not being set to white, and several more exotic settings and techniques. Some DP software has trouble knocking out type if it's not the frontmost object on the page.
BTW, the title says "Overprint Preview question" but I think you're just asking about "output" preview, though it did make me think of the overprint setting issue.
As to preflight profile, you have to make sure everything is set right for your particular output device/print conditions. You might want to run a profile that checks for missing fonts, low-resolution images, non-CMYK inks -- anything that would give problems in film/plate output or on the press.
Also, when I have text problems, I try printing to other devices -- laser printer, inkjet, whatever -- to see if the problem is device-specific.
Hope that helps a little

Will selecting 'Delete Account' in iCloud setting on iPad delete the AppleID account, or just delete it from the iPad in question?

Will selecting ‘Delete Account’ in iCloud settings on iPad delete the AppleID account entirely, or will it just delete the AppleID from the iPad in question?
I am trying to resolve a problem where someone tried to set up a second iPad on the same Apple ID account. I have partially solved the problem by creating a new Apple ID for the second iPad, but when I went to change the iCloud setting, my only option to change it was the 'Delete Account' button. I just want to make sure that I'm not going to accidentally delete the old Apple ID account because the fist iPad still needs to sync to that ID.

IPhone 5s Password and iPad App Question

Hello,
I was interested in purchasing my first smartphone and was thinking of getting the iPhone 5s. But I have a few questions I would like to ask before making a decision. Can you run an application (from iTunes) that is for an iPad and run it on an iPhone if the IOS version requirement is high enough? I am hoping I can run the "MyTunesProHD" App which requires IOS 4 or higher. It says that it is compatible with the iPad. But I would like to know if it is also compatible with the iPhone since it is higher than IOS 4.
My next question is concerning the Fingerprint Touch ID feature with the iPhone 5s. Does it have the option of using a standard password like the older iPhones? Or is it Fingerprint Touch ID only? If it is Fingerprint only I will choose a different phone (currently considering the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 as an alternative). Personally I don't like the idea of using my fingerprint.
Regards,
Joshua.

Hi Joshua,
The MyTunes Pro app in the iTunes app store shows that it is compatible with both the iPad and the iPhone. So, if the developer has made it compatible with iOS7, then you would be able to use the app you have already purchased for both devices.
You do not have to use the fingerprint security if you don't want to:

Fields in PDF form are blank: Another Preview question...

So I get that filling out a form in Preview can create a problem where the end user cannot see the info in those fields unless they click on them. But I have some additional questions:
1. Is just viewing a PDF in Preview without making any changes enough to cause this problem?
2. Is it only Windows users reporting this problem or are Mac users having it as well (when trying to view it in Acrobat or Reader)?
Here's why I ask: We created this form but send it out to clients to fill in and return. I sometimes view these returned forms in Preview because the info loads faster than it does in Acrobat. No issues there. But with one form in particular that we received today, anyone trying to subsequently open the form in Acrobat is having a problem. It seems to be just this form that is causing the problem. I'm not sure what the client used to fill it out, but they sent back other forms that don't seem to be a problem, so it seems unlikely this one would have been filled out using a different tool from the others.
Also it appears that Mac users AND Windows users are having issues seeing the fields in this form properly filled out. Heretofore, I've only read of Windows users having this problem.
Any insight would be appreciated -- thanks!

A form has to be saved in Preview in order for it to be corrupted, not merely opened. What OS is used when opening a corrupted PDF in Reader/Acrobat doesn't matter.

Master iPad configurator question concerning cart syncing with different versions of iPads.

I have a question concerning configurator syncing.Can the master iPad be a different version of iPad than the other synced iPads? For instance can iPad 2 be the master iPad to a group of iPad Air's? The iPad 2 has some fewer capabilities than the Air, would some settings or restrictions be left off of the iPad Airs if they were set up this way? Thanks.

There is no such thing as 'master iPad'. If you're using Configurator or Profile Manager control of the setup is done from a Macintosh.

HT5067 When using a Keynote Widget with iBooks Author, do the transitions and builds between Keynote slides appear in the iPad preview version of the iBook, or only in the finished product?

I'm using the Keynote Widget in iBooks Author, and the Keynote presentation uses the Magic move transition between slides. When I preview the iBook on a new iPad, the Magic move transitions don't show up (i.e. the transition from slide to slide is standard, not Magic move). Any suggestions?

Hyperlinks and magic move should work but don't. However I found the following as a workaround for me. Use three slides instead of two to generate the magic move effect in Keynote presentations on Ibooks using hyperlinks only. As an example
Supose an object on slide 1 was set as a hyperlink to go to a slide which then had a magic move effect to a third slide. For some reason it works on the mac, but not on ibooks. However you can create the magic move transition effect by simply adding a "dummy slide" as follows. Suppose an object on slide 1 had an object which would hyperlink to slide 4. Duplicate Slide 4, and make the duplicate slide 5. Then set Slide 4 to automatically transition (with no effect) to the next slide (i.e. slide 5) after .5 seconds. Have Slide 5 set to transition to Slide 6 using magic move automatically after .5 seconds. By having the hyperlink point to slide 4 the magic move effect from Slide 5 to Slide 6 works fine (with a brief 1 sec delay). IF the hyperlink pointed directly to Slide 5, the magic move transition to slide 6 would not work.
For some reason having an extra slide makes magic move work even though it is not needed on the mac. I hpe this helps.

Ipad previewing - content viewer app

I have a folio which I am able to preview on my PC Content Viewer software, but will not seem to update on my iPad Content Viewer app.
I am running Folio Producer 12.2.4 on CS5.5.
I have updated the app to the most up to date version from the App Store. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app from scratch. It still won't load on my iPad!
Are there any common reasons for this that I can investigate? I have a pitch to deliver using the app at the end of the week - which if successful could mean investing in the DP Suite to a greater extent than we are now - but not if I can't preview the fruits of my testing!
All advice appreciated!

I must say that's not my experience. I wish every piece of software I use had forums like this where within half an hour of posting a problem I had a solution. I couldn't care less if the solution is pretty or not, so long as it works.
Software companies can't win. They release something new this way, with an accompanying support forum, and they're accused of beta testing by proxy. They release something new, say it's finished and let us get on with it, and they're accused of not testing the product enough first.
I haven't paid a penny so far - all the folio testing I've done has been done for free. The plan is to pitch the concept to my company on the basis of what I've developed so far and if they go for it, then start paying. I won't put the money into something like this without being sure that some form of support exists. So far so good as far as I'm concerned!
And thanks again, Bob.

IPad Screen Question

Not sure if this is a silly question, but - my 8-year-old nephew is visiting and is totally into my (brand-new) iPad. Thing is, he has a raging head-cold... sinus congestion, sneezing, etc. I cringe when he sneezes or even just touches the screen. Anyone have any idea if the Apple-provided wipe will 'sanitize' the screen? If not, does anyone have any ideas of how to truly clean the screen? Thanks much!

Anyone have any idea if the Apple-provided wipe will 'sanitize' the screen?
What "Apple-provided wipe"?
Unless it says it disinfects, it won't.
any ideas of how to truly clean the screen?
To clean it, use a soft cloth.
To disinfect, use a Lysol (or similar) disinfecting wipe then use a soft cloth to clean it.

IPad Mini Questions

Hi, so I was recently thinking about purchasing an Ipad Mini for like an entertainment movie luxury for my mother instead of using my Macbook. I know that you can purchase an lightning to VGA adapter so we could use this capability but the real question is: Can I hook My Ipad Mini into my t.v, using an lightning to VGA adapter and change the iPad Mini at the same time? Please and thank-you and happy mothers day!

No you cannot do this although third party cables and connectors are continually appearing all the time.
However, to do what you are trying to do, it might be worth considering also getting an Apple TV unit. This will allow you to play out form your MacBook and your ipad to the TV wirelessly. You will also be able to keep it plugged and and charge it at the same time.
Whilst the Apple TV will cost a little bit more you will at least not need to buy the VGA / lightening cable which is also not cheap.
Something definitely worth considering and it is what I do.

Apple TV / iPad / TV Question

I have got a new Mac Mini plugged into my front room TV, with all my content on it, and am using Plex Media Server and it works great.
My question:
How do I get access to the same content on my bedroom TV?
Do I:
A) send a long HDMI cable though the ceiling ? (!!!)
B) buy an Apple TV box (can I then access Plex through that?)
C) use my iPad 2, plugged into the TV HDMI slot and then access Plex through that?
D) use a completely different manufacturer device (I've spent a fortune already on Apple products!!!)
E) something else
Please help as its doing my brain in....

C should work, assuming there is an app to assist in accessing the Plex.

Future iPad Owner Questions!

Hey everyone! I had a few questions about the iPad.
Do you personally think it would be worth at least $500? I really want it, but I don't know if I should go ahead and get it, or buy a laptop for around the same price.
Secondly, how do iPhone apps appear on the iPad?
Thanks, guys!

Hi Nick,
If you do a search, upper right corner, you will get a lot of threads similar to yours. A number of people come on here and ask the other users their views on the iPad.
First, is it worth $500 entry fee? To some people that might be questionable, but it depends a lot on how you will use it. As a book reader? Kinda pricey. As a device that does books very well, surfs the net, does email, gets the Weather Channel, can do thousands of apps - well worth the price.
Second, now that the MacBook Air is out, for a couple hundred more, you really have to make a choice based on your planned usage. The MBA is a terrific machine for not much more size and weight. Plus you can put all kinds of software on it. So, iPad vs MBA - go to an Apple Retail store and spend time with both. That is a very personal decision only you can make.
Third, iPhone apps on the iPad? The iPad gives you the option of native size or 2x size, plus many of the apps are available in iPad native mode also. There are so many apps, you are sure to find something that fits your needs.
Hope this helps...but go to an Apple store and spend time with it.

Another RAM preview question. CS6

Hello everyone! I am currently working in After Effects on a video that uses an evaporation effect. When I use the RAM preview function only about 200-250 frames load out of 1200. At this point After Effects stops loading a RAM preview and just plays the few seconds of video it has loaded. I am trying to watch the entire 12 seconds of the evaporation effect.
I then tried to use footage that has no effects added to it, and the same thing is happening. I recently cleaned my disk cache, and this problem started happening. I feel like that is a coincedence though.
This problem was not happening a few weeks ago and after searching the forums I have not been able to find a solution that worked. Thank you for any helpful responses you can give.
Computer Specs: Macbook Pro. OSX 10.75. 2.2 GHz processor, 4gb Memory, 158 gb free storage
Video specs: 60 FPS, 1280 x 720 , H.264

This question is answered in the Forum's FAQ section:
Why does RAM preview only play part of my composition?
