¿Is there a substitute for TimeSavers?
¿If yes, what?
¡Thanks in advance for your prompt responses!

btw, for anybody reading who might not be familiar with the way TimeSavers works, the biggest, most important advantage -- aside from the cool, incredibly useful PDF effects and added functionality that TimeSavers accomplishes -- is that the setup for everything is handled entirely through FM markers and .ini files. So, the settings can be retained, re-used, customized, and modded up the ying-yang, and applied across books / users / companies in a manageable and controlled way.

  • Is there any substitute for book publication?

    We are currently running BPC Microsoft version and considering migrating to the Netweaver platform.  I understand the Book Publication Wizard is not available in Netweaver.  We use this feature to generate lengthy reports and losing it would make reporting a very difficult process.  Does anyone know of a workaround or substitute for Book Publication?

    Hi Barb,
    You are correct it won't generate PDF's.
    Are you considering going to BPC 7.5 NW? If so there are some workarounds that could be leveraged but they are not ideal.
    For example if you have Crystal Reports as well, you can use the integration to pull your BPC data into a formatted Crystal Report and use the PDF scheduling to generate your "books" in that way.
    Otherwise as Jeff mentioned you would have to leverage the Distributor and Collector and print to pdf via some type of task scheduler job but this  would require you have either Adobe Professional or some PDF generator like PDF XChange.
    Cheers, Scott

  • HT4890 Is there a substitute for MobileMe Photo & video galleries...online?

    Does anyone know if there is a substitute for MobileMe Photo & Video Galleries, that have been available online for me for the last 5 years to store and send via email at anytime to anyone?

    Apple evidently took a deliberate decision not to provide general file storage in the manner of iDisk and there is no suggestion that they intend ever to restore it. There are plenty of other solutions - this page examines some options:

    As to PhotoStream, you can share selected pictures in it using iOS6, and iPhoto for iOS5 includes the facility to publish a 'Photo Journal' picture gallery to web pages hosted on iCloud. This facility is not available on Macs. Apple have provided a sample album here.

  • Is there a substitute for windows flash software?

    Is there an Apple Substitute for flash software?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Is there a substitute for reminders?

    I like Yosemite except for the absense of reminders on the calendar. I know it is a seperate application, but I would like it to be on the same page as my calendar. Any ideas? Thanks, Susie

    You could create a Reminders calendar and enter them there.

  • Is there a substitute for the missing Delete key?

    I'm pretty unhappy with the new half bluetooth keyboard, probably because I have never been a laptop user. Big is better to me. One of the keys I am really missing is the delete key in the middle panel that deleted from the right rather than the left. I'm wondering if there is some kind of workaround to achieve that function without doing what I have been doing, i.e., moving the cursor all the way over to the right of what I want to delete and then using the remaining Delete key--a lot of trouble, I think.

  • Is there a substitute tool path for "Image Adjustments Variations-" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition?

    Is there a substitute tool path for "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition that brings similar results?  I was used to using Image>Adjustments>Variations… in Photoshop CS4 Standard Standard Addition quite often. I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition to get the 64bit memory architecture compatibility on my Macbook Pro, booted in Mountain Lion.  I see now that Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition has the "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" tool path removed.
    I don't have Photoshop CS6 Extended, which has the all new Image>Adjustments>Variations… tool path.  I only have Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition so, if anyone can share with me a substitute tool set that can give me similar results to using the old "Image>Adjustments>Variations…,"  I would appreciate it.

    Thanks, R_Kelly.
    You helped me to start exploring other tools in the Image>Adjustments Menu.  "Image>Adjustments>Color Balance…" seemed to help me get the results that "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" used to deliver.  "Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" also got me to where I wanted to be in desired adjustments.  I used to get the results I wanted in brightness, contrast, mid-tone adjustment, and color balance buy using just Curves, Variations, and Hue/Saturation.  Now I'll use "Color Balance…" and "Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" along with Curves, and Hue/Saturation.  I also have learned to use "Levels" some more to get the same effect as Adjustments>Variations…"  I always thought there were more technically precise adjustment tools to get the same effect as "Image>Adjustments>Variations…"  Adobe dropping Variations in Photoshop CS6 Mac version forced me to learn better image adjustment approaches for pre press color correction and image warming.  I feel confident now to make Photoshop CS6 my prime-time work tool and move the Photoshop CS4 launch icon off of my Mac OS app Dock.  Thanks again, R_Kelly.

  • Substitute for filters in SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards

    Dear all,
    I am working on a dashboard application built on SAP Business Objects Dashboards 4.1.
    When I deployed the application to an iPad, I realized that the filters present in the application are not supported by iPad.
    Thus, is there any mobile-compatible component in SAP BO Dashboards which I can use in place of filrters for filtering the result during runtime?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks And Regards,
    Nalin Dwivedi

    In combo box, all I can do is select some values from one or more rows or cells in the excel and paste it to some other destination within excel. But my whole dashboard is query-based i.e. I have created query and my charts are getting the data directly from database during runtime. Thus, the query prompt selectors I have used are directly manipulating the data coming from the database.
    Since query prompt selector are not supported in mobile mode, I need a substitute for it.
    Combo box is not able to help till now because the values of combo box can not manipulate the data coming from database. Moreover, I am not sure if I have used the combo box properly.
    If there is any way by which it can be done with using mobile-compatible components, then please suggest me about it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Nalin

  • Is Airport a substitute for software firewall?

    I have a Windows PC behind my Airport network. Is my Airport's NAT (or the NAT of any router for that matter) a substitute for software firewall?
    As I understand it, the only thing software firewalls do is block un-used ports, which Airport's NAT already does (since by default it doesn't forward any port except 80 and few other necessary ports to the IPs behind its NAT), and therefore there's no way for hackers to get to them. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    It'd also be nice to know what ports Airport permit traffics... and how it knows which IP to forward the traffic too (does it act kind of like a proxy?).
    Thanks

    Firewall Debate: Hardware vs. Software
    By Ronald Pacchiano
    November 4, 2003
    I'm about to get my first broadband connection, and I know I need to get a firewall. However, I've been getting some conflicting advice as to what type of firewall I need. Some people tell me I should get a hardware firewall, while others tell me a software firewall is preferred. What's the difference, and more importantly, which is better?
    Good question. The truth is that in a typical home office environment, one type of firewall isn't necessarily better than the other. They are some differences, though, and they can be used together to give you an even greater degree of protection.
    Hardware firewalls are important because they provide a strong degree of protection from most forms of attack coming from the outside world. Additionally, in most cases, they can be effective with little or no configuration, and they can protect every machine on a local network.
    A hardware firewall in a typical broadband router employs a technique called packet filtering, which examines the header of a packet to determine its source and destination addresses. This information is compared to a set of predefined and/or user-created rules that determine whether the packet is to be forwarded or dropped. A more advanced technique called Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), looks at additional characteristics such as a packet's actual origin (i.e. did it come from the Internet or from the local network) and whether incoming traffic is a response to existing outgoing connections, like a request for a Web page.
    But most hardware residential firewalls have an Achilles' heel in that they typically treat any kind of traffic traveling from the local network out to the Internet as safe, which can sometimes be a problem.
    Consider this scenario: What would happen if you received an e-mail message or visited a website that contained a concealed program? Let's say this program was designed to install itself on your machine and then surreptitiously communicate with someone via the Internet — a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack zombie or a keystroke logger, for example? And trust me, this is by no means an unlikely scenario.
    To most broadband hardware firewalls, the traffic generated by such programs would appear legitimate since it originated inside your network and would most likely be let through. This malevolent traffic might be blocked if the hardware firewall was configured to block outgoing traffic on the specific Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) port(s) the program was using, but given that there are over 65,000 possible ports and there's no way to know which ports a program of this nature might use, the odds of the right ones being blocked are slim.
    Moreover, blocking too many ports would almost certainly adversely affect your ability to use some programs (many games, for instance). Also, some broadband router firewalls don't even provide the ability to restrict outgoing traffic, only incoming traffic.
    Advantages of Software Firewalls
    Now consider what a software firewall might do in the aforementioned scenario. When you first set up a software firewall, you can specify which applications are allowed to communicate over the Internet from that PC. Programs that aren't explicitly allowed to do so are either blocked or else the user is prompted for confirmation before the traffic is allowed to pass. Therefore, it would likely intercept this kind of traffic before it left your computer.
    Another potential scenario where a software firewall would be useful is in the case of an e-mail worm with its own e-mail sever, like the recent "SoBig" worm. Its built-in mail server could attempt to send mail on the valid Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) port (25), which would probably pass through the router because of its trusted origin.
    On the other hand, a software firewall could be configured to only allow Microsoft Outlook to use port 25 (assuming Outlook is your e-mail client). Any attempt by another application to use the port would be dropped, or blocked pending user confirmation. For that matter, the application's attempt to use any port would be blocked if the firewall was configured that way.
    By comparison, a hardware firewall that had the ability to filter outgoing traffic might allow you to block most kinds of traffic from a particular PC, but it wouldn't be able to flag you and alert you to repeated attempts to infiltrate your computer.
    One obvious downside to software firewalls is that they can only protect the machine they're installed on, so if you have multiple computers (which many small offices do), you need to buy, install, and configure a software firewall separately on each machine. This can get expensive and can be difficult to manage if you have a lot of computers.
    But the fact of the matter is that software firewalls generally offer the best measure of protection against certain types of situations like Trojan programs or e-mail worms. Speaking of which, a firewall isn't the only protection method available to you. Whether you end up using a software firewall or a hardware firewall, you should always supplement it with anti-virus software.
    A good anti-virus package is just as important as a firewall, and I would seriously suggest that you invest in a good one (I'm partial to both Norton and McAfee myself). However, keeping your virus definitions updated is far more important than which program you use. I cannot stress the importance of this enough. Making sure your definitions are current is absolutely critical to maintaining your protection. Many Anti-virus programs today can be configured to automatically update themselves, so you have no excuse for not maintaining them.
    The bottom line is that with any home-office broadband connection, a hardware firewall should be considered a bare minimum, and supplementing it with a software firewall on one or more computers (and don't forget anti-virus software) is almost always a good idea.

  • Any substitute for End User License?

    I have the trial version of Acrobat XI Pro. On my bank website (as one example) I can't download a PDF file without entering the End User License Agreement, which I understand from a previous question is not available unless I purchase the app. Is there no way, then, to test the app on such situations? Can anything substitute for the agreement license?

    I have little familiarity with the workings of Acrobat, at least little enough to have no confidence in offering more than an idea ... it sounds like you have Acrobat designated as the default program for opening PDF files.  I don't know how to get around that, but one thing you should be able to do is to right click the link for the pdf file and choose Save Target As.  That should allow you to get the file downloaded without Acrobat getting in the way.
    If you continue to have issues with testing out Acrobat you should try posting in the Acrobat forum.  Folks there are definitely more focused on matters of how it works and to make it work for you.  Here's a link if you wanna try there...
