Is FCPX compatible with pdf files ?

Hi there,
I am having problem with still image.
My default setting for still image is 8 seconds. So far I have no problem putitng it into the timeline.
I just notice something strange happened today. I still image I import it is always 1 second !
The only difference is that now it is pdf instead of previously jpeg.
An I cannot change the duration of this pdf file.
Question 1:
How do I convert pdf to jpg ?
Question 2:
Is this problem only happening to me ? Am I the only one to experience this ?
Thanks

PDF files shouldn't be used. These are the suppoirted formats.
Still images including PSD, BMP, GIF, RAW, JPEG, PNG, TGA, and TIFF.
Export the PDF to PNG or JPEG, but PNG is better.
Thanks Tom for confirming that pdf is not the preferred format for FCPX.
You mean, I create another project file, put the pdf file on the timeline, then:
Share > Save Current Frame > Then in the Export Option, select png ?
Then import this png into the original project file ?
Thanks

How to Combine Forms with .PDF files?

Hello. Several employees at my company frequently generate reports which are then edited in Acrobat 7. Life was good in the days of Acrobat 5. Then something changed between Acrobat 5 and 6, making this virtually impossible.
Then along came Acrobat 7. We rejoiced when we realized we could edit all but one table in Acrobat 7, and that one could be edited using ALCD 7. Now here's the rub:
The tables are generated individually using Crystal Reports as the compiler. Separate .PDFs are generated for each table and edited in Acrobat or ALCD when necessary. When all editing is complete, the reports are compiled in one .PDF for printing/publication.
The problem is that once we edit a table in Designer, it cannot then be merged with the other .PDFs.
Is there anything we can do to get around this? Thanks!

Hi Katherine,
Unfortunately Designer creates an XFA PDF form, which is not inherently compatible with AcroPDF files. (Their internal structure is different.)
You could try one or both of the following things and see if they work - I haven't the opportunity to test these just now myself, but this is what I would try..
Option 1 - When saving the table in Designer, select save as type option of "Acrobat 6 compatible static PDF" option and try if this can be merged into the rest of the file.
Option 2 - After completing all changes, see if you can set up a batch process in Acrobat professional to print the Design files back to AcroPDF format, and then merge into the bigger file.
I hope this helps,
Sanna

Problem with PDF files

Hello Experts,
I am having trouble with PDF files corrupting the folder in
which they are contained. If this sounds familiar, and you might be
able to help, please see if the following steps give you an idea of
the problem and the fix.
I want to link to PDF files from a web page. The copy,
consisting of several files, was provided by my client as Word
documents, and converted to PDF by me from within Microsoft Word.
I copied the PDF files into their own folder in my site, and
found later, after leaving, then reopening Dreamweaver, that the
folder was corrupted and unreadable. I got a message to run chkdsk.
I tried working around the folder by repeating the process
above in a new file, with the intention of ignoring the corrupted
one. The second folder also became corrupted.
I don't know if chkdsk is a Dreamweaver utility, or a Windows
utility, or if this is a Windows, Acrobat or Dreamweaver problem.
Does anyone know how to run chkdsk?
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance for the urgently needed support.
Richard

chkdsk used to be a DOS utility, now Windows. Depending on
the OS you have
and whether it's Mac or PC, you can run it several ways.
If XP > Start > Help and Support, type chkdsk in the
search
Other OSs, search for chkdsk.

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

Adobe Reader does not automatically associate with PDF files in Xp Sp3

I have reinstalled Reader (twice) and it does not automatically associate with PDF files.
How do I fix this problem?
Cheers, JH

The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?

Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages? The pdf has more pages than the word document. I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

Hi Petek ,
After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

That depends on the specific files and the specific programs... some files are backwards compatible, some are not

I have configured PDF Genrataor in LiveCycle 2.5. I have configured my watchedfolder endpoints.
When I place a folder (which has doc file in it) in the IN folder..I expect the OUT to contain same folder (with pdf file in it), But it does not happen. What I see in in the OUT folder I see a pdf file with the foldername and pdf extension....
Can anyone suggest.......

Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

FCPX compatible with NVIDIA7300 or ATI X1900 XT

Is FCPX compatible with either a NVIDIA 7300 Gt or a ATI X1900 XT card?

You'll need to check if your card is Open CL compatible. It also seems that the appstore will block purchases if it detects unsupported hardware.

Finder freezing under Update 10.5.5 in connection with pdf-Files

Since the update to 10.5.5 I have this problem:
My Mac will freeze ever so often when viewing pdf-files or even the directory containing such files.
MY OBSERVATIONS
* Problem inked to 10.5.5
* Occurs when opening pdfs or simply opening directories with pdfs
* The freezing is progressive: at first I might be able to view like 5 pdfs, then the mac starts to freeze when opening just one. At last it freezes when simply opening the directory.
MEASURES TAKEN
* Anti-Virus Check (Norton v11)
* Disk utility repairs
* Disk Warrior full repair
* Complete formatting of HD and complete reinstallation
* MAC Hardware test tool
* OnyX full repair suite
* TinkerTool System full suite
RESULT:
* 10 nights of work, lots of frustration an settings lost, functionality not reestablished
MY CONFIGURATION
Mac: Dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5
OS: 10.5.5
Software: Only original Apple Software and MS Office installed (asside of above ment. SW)
The files are now - after reinstalling the System - on an external HD
I wonder how long it will be till Apple publishes a statement and/or workaround.
My hopes are on you guys!

I had similar weirdness with the finder freezing or getting the spinning rainbow wheel of death associated with pdfs and various applications that utilize that file type. For me, it did not have to do with OSX 10.5.5. I finally narrowed it down to the updated version of Acrobat Professional 6.0 I was using, which works and is likely not compatible with an intel based mac, but who want to shell out another few hundred bucks. It was not opening after it was updated, stating the international language preferences were not selected. But i was able to open pdfs using preview, adobe photoshop etc. So I deleted the updated Acrobat Professional 6.0, and reinstalled the original and it works. Also if the pdfs are really huge and multiple pdfs are open at once, they and use alot of different images, fonts etc. It places huge demands on your ram, processor etc. causing the application to freeze as it searches your hard drive. Maximizing your RAM will help. Repairing permissions using disc utility from the hard drive (not the OSX install dvd) may help. Sometimes when I click on the desktop the finder does not open, so i relaunch from the force quit in the apple menu. It may have something to do with the applications you are using to work on pdfs. Hope this helps.
