Is Acrobat Right Program for the Job?

HI, I have a client who would like to do a number os sales sheets. The client has multiple locations around the country and wants to be able to send the sheets to each location. At each location they will put in their address/phone etc., and all locations want to be able to make minor text updates to the sales sheets as the services they offer are continually changing. They will then print them out of their color copiers as needed.
My thought is to create the sheets in InDesign and Acrobat. The final file I provide the client will be a PDF that they can alter the type in. In that way I think they will not be able to mess it up too much. However my first test working in Acrobat as an editable file is a little squirly.
So, is there a better way to do this? A different program I should be thinking of that would allow my client to make edits, that would be better than Acrobat? Keeping in mind the end product is to be printed.
Thanks, Jo

You could use PDF with form fields. where they fill in Blanks.
But if the whole for has to be edited to tweak design, everyone is going to have to have either Indesign or Acrobat, or Both. On the other hand If everyone has Excel ,the can edit anything and everything hearts content.

Is Keynote the right application for the job?

I have a job that requires integrating an audio soundtrack with some slides. The difference between this presentation and a normal slide presentation is that most of the information is in the soundtrack (it's a lecture, with some slides as visual aids). The amount of time in which the slides need to appear is relatively brief; in fact it's a fraction of the soundtrack's run-time.
I have time index information that specifies where the slides should appear in the presentation. For example, there will be two minutes of soundtrack with a blue background, and then a slide will appear for 5 minutes while the soundtrack discusses its content. Then the slide should disappear into blue background for 10 minutes, then another slide for 3 minutes, then background for 20 minutes, then another slide...and so on.
In other words, the soundtrack must play continuously, interspersed with occasional slides at specific times for specific durations, with blue background in between. I want to export the entire presentation as an integrated audio+video file and burn it to DVD. I already have the soundtrack as an .aiff file in Logic Pro 7.2, and I will have the slides as high-quality JPEG files. I don't own a Keynote license. I do have a QuickTime Pro license. I've played with this in Microsoft PowerPoint enough to determine that it's not the right tool for the job.
I've looked at Keynote's Help documentation, and it's not immediately apparent how to start with an audio soundtrack and simply insert slides at specific times, for specific durations. Can I accomplish that in Keynote, or is there another application that would be better suited to the task?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Brian:
If I correctly understand the effect you've described, I imagine that would be VERY annoying. However, in the test presentation I made in iMovie, that's not exactly what I experienced. I added the soundtrack first, and then I placed the slide images where I wanted them. Initially, I did notice that I couldn't just jump ahead and place an image all the way at the end of the soundtrack file without iMovie adjoining it to the last image's segment on the timeline, but that was easy to fix. Once the image was in the timeline, I just dragged it all the way to the end of the soundtrack. After that, I could place images anywhere I wanted.

Right Laptop for the Job?

Hi Folks,
I work with wedding, performance, concert video and photo and considering to buy a new laptop for the job that will eveintually have Production Premium 5.5 & Lightroom 3. I have 3 following models in my consideration list.
Sony Vaio:
Intel® Core™ i7-740QM-prosessor
8GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 425M GPU
HP EliteBook 8540W
Intel Core i7 740QM 1,73 GHz
8BG RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800M
Mac Book Pro
2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5
Price is not an issue.
Which one should I chose & why ? Kindly given me an opinion beyond "mac vs pc" arguments .......

Basically, for using the internet you have a few options:
• Phone line
• Ethernet cable (from internet jack in wall)
• Wifi if you are in a Wifi zone (your Mac has built-in wireless capability, you just need to find a wireless network to join)
• Some phone companies have USB cards that you can plug in and get internet anywhere, but of course for extra charge
The Macbook you are looking at should do the job fine, and can access the internet via any of the options above.
P.S. You may already know this, but you are allowed to have FCE installed on one desktop computer and one laptop, so you could install your FCE HD on your new laptop. Also, make sure if you are editing HDV (I assume this is the case since FCE HD doesn't support AVCHD) that you get the white macbook, not the aluminum one because the aluminum doesn't have a firewire port that is required to capture HDV footage. If you are planning to edit AVCHD, you need to get FCE4.

Right tool for the job?

Hello,
before I spent too much time investigating AM, could someone please answer me if it is the right tool for my scenario.
What I need is SSO solution, that supports:
- authentication with username /password, X509 cert, maybe even kerberos
- the system needs to authenticate internal users (eg. AD users wih kerberos) and external users (eg. username / password)
- the system is SOA oriented, all business logic is implemented in web services
- if user invokes a web service, she needs to be authenticated, and her identity must be known to web service
- so far I think there's no problem, right?
- now, the first web service needs to call another web service. I need to pass original user identity further down the service-call-chain. Possible?
- as a side feature, I'd like AM to provide additional user properties (principals?), eg. external user's company name
Is this the job for AM or do I need another tool?
Kind regards
Jernej

SUBINACL - the right tool for the job?

Here is the scenario:
DomainA and DomainB
Full Trust both ways
Windows File Share in DomainA. Created a windows server in DomainB. Used Quest Migration Manager to migrate users and groups from DomainA to DomianB, keeping SID history. Xcopied files from DomainA server to DomainB server, keeping the permissions from DomainA.
Now, the Trust will be broken and we need to change the permissions from [email protected] to [email protected] Thousands of shares and permissions, so can't do manually. So far I have tried SUBINACL in the following context:
Subinacl /noverbose /output=e:\ntfs_perms.txt /subdirectories e:\Share
and then
Subinacl /playfile e:\ntfs_perms.txt
This changed some of the permissions to DomainB, but removed a lot of permissions.
Is this the right tool to use for this? Is this the right syntax for this scenario?
Thanks!
Mike

Hi,
Sorry for the delay reply.
It seems like you have enabled the SID history.
Based on my experience, after we completing the migration, sIDHistory should be removed from migrated principals to minimize management complexity. Microsoft has provided a sample script and
Powershell command to remove SIDHistory.
So, please first confirm if the migration process completed or not, then plan to remove the SIDhistory.
How To Remove SID History With PowerShell
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ashleymcglone/archive/2011/11/23/how-to-remove-sid-history-with-powershell.aspx
Before we do this, please backup the system state to making any important change to avoid any risk. After clearing the SID history, please try to run the subinacl command to check if it
works.

Is Premiere Pro CS3 the right program for me?

Is Premiere Pro CS3 the right program for me?
I am looking for a program that I can:
Import files that were recorded on a DVR (mp4 format)
Take two files placed next to each other on one screen and record a DVD
| | | |
| | | |
| image one | | image two |
| | | |
|______________| |_______________|
Also export the files to other file formats, AVi, MOV

Dave,
Premiere can do a PiP, Picture in Picture (basically, your PiP is one half of the frame), BUT your MP4 source is not the best to edit, especially with PP. If you had DV-AVI files, Captured in PP from a miniDV (tape) vid-cam, it would do a great job, but so would its little brother Premiere Elements, which wants the same source files as PP.
I have not used Womble, that Jeff recommends, but think that it has PiP. Ideally, you want to keep any re-compression down to a minimum, as you are already working with compressed MPEG files, and every additional re-compression WILL cause image degredation. Depending on the CODEC used to create your MP4 files, you have probably lost a lot of info already, and when you go to MPEG-2 (DV CODEC), for DVD, you'll loose even more. About the only way that I see you keeping any quality is if your MP4's are coded for Blu-Ray, and you can find a program with Smart Render, leaving them just as they are, allowing you to edit, then burning to a BD. Lot of "if's" in that.
I'd check out Womble and see if it can do PiP and if it works with MP4. If Jeff recommended it, it's very likely to do that. Juat expect a major quality hit, because you're already compressed the heck out of the image data once, and will have to do it again.
You could convert your MP4's to DV-AVI with a 3rd party program, Import them into PP, or PE, edit and then burn to DVD - with Encore in PP, or directly from PE. See above for comments on quality hit. It's those source files that are the problem. That format is meant for distribution/viewing and not for editing. The effect, however, is easy as can be. There are many tutorials on how to do it with variations, on the Web, but nearly all NLE programs want better source material to start, if any quality is to be maintained.
I'd also post on the Premiere Elements forum, as a lot of people there work with less than ideal source files, and might know of good free, or cheap, conversion programs to use. If you have the CODEC on your machine, DigitalMedia Converter can handle the conversion for you, and do it in batch. It's cheap at ~ US$45, and can batch process, but it cannot improve the quality, or get back the data lost in the first compression - nothing can.
If this is all you want to do, with the above comments on conversion first taken seriously, Premiere Elements will cost about US$100 and do it easily.
Sorry for the bad news,
Hunt

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard? I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard. Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard. I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard. Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

Hi,
Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Thank You

More points will be awarded.
Thanks a lot.

Predictive typing program for the Mac?

Has anyone heard of a predictive typing program for the Mac?
I am looking for a computer program for typing that "guesses" what word you want based on the first few letters. I have trouble typing because of physical disabilities. Voice recognition is a no go (I also have trouble with my voice).
I know cell phones have this for texting, but I've never seen it for a regular computer. An application I could type in right on my Mac, then cut and paste to other applications like Word, email, etc. Apparently there is a program called "Penfriend" for the PC that does exactly this, but I'm having trouble finding anything Mac-compatible.
Has anyone heard of a company that provides this kind of software? Any ideas on which discussion board might know?
I have a 2006 Macbook Pro.
Grateful for any help!
2006 Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.3)
2006 Powerbook G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Sorry for the delay, I was waiting for a "good arm" day to start typing!
Were you using the mouse to select words? You can set
hotkeys so you can do it with the keyboard if that
would be easier - you can use a sequence like
option-1,option-2, etc., or whatever else you can
type easily.
I tried both selecting words with the mouse, and with the coded numbers on the keyboard... I think this may be a problem for me with any predictive typing program, the whole needing-to-pick-up-your-hand thing. KeyStrokes seems about as good as you're going to get (honestly, all those languages, like magic). Maybe with a different keyboard, if I can place the numbers closer to the letters. I'll keep trying.
There's no users group that I know about. I keep
meaning to start a Yahoo list for OS X users who use
assistive tech, but I have so many things that I want
to do *wry grin* Maybe one day...
That's a great idea -- I know there must be something out there, but I've mostly found disease-specific boards (ALS, etc.).

I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation. They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?

Hi All.
I have this request.
BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?
We have jobs scheduled on BODS running smoothly and absolutely fine.
But to check, i am logging into the admin console and check for the jobs status.
I would like to have an email to be received from BODS after each job is finished.
It could succuessful. Or it could fail.
Whatsoever, i wish to receive an email alert as soon as a job is finished.
Can anyone advise me as to whether this could be made possible.
And if yes, how this could be done.
Thanks for your help in advance.
In BOE CMC / for webi / schedule / we find an option to send email for a job success or a job failure.
Is there any option similar to that in BODS ?
Also would like to know :
how to use the smtp_to or mail_to functions ?
how to set up the smtp server for this ?
thanks

Hi.
Since am new to this BODS. I need some help.
I already have many jobs which are running absolutely fine.
And when a job runs, and finishes, am able to see the trace saying
e.g. :
Job_abc is completed successfully.
We got the smtp service activated for our test server.
and we hae a group email id.
I have put the details of the smtp server / ip address / and said apply restarted.
The i created a simple test script as below :
print (' Before email ' );
smtp_to('abc@company_name.com', 'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has FAILED',
' the job has failed', 0, 0);
print('After Email ');
It does send a email to as per smtp_to whatever email is specified.
But how to differentiate between a job success
And a job which has failed.
I wish to have a mail which says on the subject :
'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has completed successfully'
==> IF it is a success
OR
'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has failed'
==> if it has failed
How to make the system identify, whether
to send a success message or a error message whatever
Could anyone advise.
thanks

Driver program for the Dunning letter SAP Script

Hello All,
Can someone please tell me how to find the "Driver program for the Dunning letter SAP Script". I checked the Transaction OB96 but I dont find any Dunning scripts here i.e., the standard Dunning letter SAP Script F150_DUNN_01.
Is there any Transaction like NACE of logistics for FI module to find the Driver programs. My requirement is to find the Driver program for the Dunning letter SAP Script and have a new Driver program instead of the standard SAP given driver program. Example is in transaction NACE we can change the driver program for Invoice like from RVADIN01 to ZRVADIN01.
Thanks and Regards,
SNK.

Yes you can, using FIBF, change the FM associated with event 1720 like when SapScript is replaced with SmartForms. Look at [Define Dunning Forms (with SAP Smart Forms)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/es/7d/c7a0a535e1d311ba4d0800060d888b/content.htm] for reference.
But notice
- PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE call many FM of the same FG which share the same global data area.
- During following upgrades of your system you will have to manage a copy of standard.

Raymond
