Is there an easy way to save a form as a non-editable PDF?

Is there something like 'save as non-form PDF' in Acrobat PRO? I have a form which I want to use and then save as something that does not have editable fields, just plain PDF. Preferably some way that does not include complex stuff, because if that is the case, I'd rather just create a word processing document from which I can crank out print to PDF.
I must add: I tried "Sanitize document" but that turns the content of the pages into pixel-based images and that is not what I want.
I must also add: I do not want to trust stuff like security, locking and such
I must also add: the result must be a PDF that is usable outside of Adobe apps (non-Adobe PDF viewers)

If your base content is in a Word Doc or RTF file, you can use OpenOffice.org Write to add form fields to the document and the you can export as PDF and the created PD will contain the form fields.
With the additional of iPxd, tablets, and smart phones and viewer apps the possablity of the end user not being able to-in the form or have the form work as expected has increased.
As for Apple Preview, there is script to fix the viewable PDF. Exporting the data a to an FDF, XFDF, etc should still be possible.

Is there an easy way to save them directly to Photoshop Elements? Or do I have to save and then import?

Well... I appreciate both of your responses. However... I believe that lvlibs cause more frustration then anything else. My team has come across issues with lvlibs and conflicting paths (when using CM tools) and have resorted to using LLBs because they offer a clean set of file dependencies. I understand that lvlibs are probably more robust, but they are not an option right now. Therefore... the question I originally asked still remains. Is there a quick and easy way to add a bunch of VIs to an LLB without having to save each one of them separately to the LLB?

Is There an Easier Way to Save a PDF for Perfect Binding?

I've always had this problem whenever I do a booklet or magazine that will end up perfect bound: I have my document setup in CS6 with "facing pages" so I can easily design spreads with images and backgrounds that span both pages. Usually, when it prints, it's saddle stitched, so I don't mind if the inside edge has contents from the other page since they will print next to each other anyway. When I've done perfect bound booklets in the past, I've always unchecked "facing pages" and manually duplicated and moved the image that span the entire spread to cover both pages. However, I'm currently working on a 48-page magazine and I really don't feel like doing this... specifically for fear of missing something and overlooking it so that it prints wrong.
Here are some examples:
This first one obviously has one background image that spans both pages of the spread
However, when I try to separate the pages. My same right-hand page now has no background. A good majority of the magazine is laid out this way.
Similarly, this spread with 2 full-page ads have no bleed on the inside margin for proofing purposes. If it were saddle stitched, I wouldn't give a second thought I'd just let the auto bleed pull image from the other ad. Who cares? They're going to be right next to each other anyway. But, since we're going the perfect-bound route, I need for each ad to have full bleed on all 4 sides. Is it just my neuroticism? The inside edge will be glued amongst 47 other pages. Will anyone ever notice that sliver of white, black, and red from the Sarge ad nestled in the spine when they're viewing the Sunrise Detox ad is the cutting is off?
I know you can do the "shuffle pages" thing to help with the ads, but I'm just hoping there's an easier way; a checkbox... something! C'mon, Adobe! You're #1 in the design industry and it's so difficult to work around the facing-pages-full-bleed issue. I know I'm not very advanced with my InDesign experience. But if after several years, many booklets, a few magazines, and a couple version upgrades, I'd like to think I would've found an easier way to do this. You know, kinda like how your new liquid pages features. That would be tremendous if something similar could be implemented for people in printing to quickly change between design spreads, proof spreads, and printing single pages!
Thanks in advance for any help!!

If you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
//// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
4. Now you have the result.
Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page.

Is there an easy way to create simple forms for use in iweb?

or a template?
I need to create a reply form on the site I am working on.
thanks

After a few days of working on this issue the tutorial is updated to make the form be sent from within the webpage with extra form additions available as well!
The form is fully customizable for background color or image background, there's no ads or service to sign up for, all you have to do is copy and paste a code into your html and enable cgi and/or php on your host with some additional small tweeks here and there to put it all together. Basically it's the do it yourself way.
*The form on the tutorial link provided still opens the Email app when the form is submitted but we have tested this method on our other sites using the same procedures mentioned with successful results.

Yes. Applescript can run in the backgound. The applications you run also need to be able to run in the background. You need to run scriptable applications & avoid simulating the keyboard & mouse. You need to run commands that are in the application dictionary.

If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?

If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
Thanks.

Various ways:
Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
Then:
File -> New Smart Album
Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
will find the unwanted 150.

Is there an easy way to clear the contents of Download Folder?

Is there an easier way to clear out files (send to trash) from the downloads folder, other than dragging one by one? The downloads folder closes immediately upon dragging one file out.

You do not need to invoke Finder to do this. Create a new empty Automator workflow and use the "Run Shell Script" option. Paste in the following....
mv ~/Downloads/* ~/.Trash
You can then save the workflow as an application, attach it as a Finder action or add it to the scripts menu, whichever you like better.
If you would like to bypass the Trash and just completely delete the Downloads folder contents immediately, then paste in this command:
rm -rf ~/Downloads/*

Is there an easy way to create 2 page imposed PDFs with a background?

I have figured out a way to create a suitable imposed single page PDF using the 'import as layer' action, the action only understands a single paged background PDF.
In other words, I have a PDF that has the suitable marks on it with the pages marked 'Page 1' & 'Page 2'. This is the background PDF.
I open this PDF in Acrobat and run the action that places another PDF (the 'Source' PDF) on multiple layers with different offsets.
The original (template) PDF is 2 pages & the Source PDF for imposition is 2 pages, and even though the 'import as layer' understands that the source PDF being imposed is 2 pages, it does not seem to allow the original (template) PDF to be seen as 2 pages.
There is a 'Target page number' option in the Preview area, but that is grayed out at 1.
So...other than commercial applications, is there an easy way to build a 2 page PDF imposition file??
Maybe a script?

Sabian,
Yes, the Quite software would be perfect, especially the 'Hot'. Tested & works great for us, but the price tag for the 'Hot' is rather steep for our relatively simple process......background template with a 'step & repeat' of the 'live' document.
As I mentioned in the original post, to do this with a single page PDF is simple enough using an action that places the 'live' doc multiple times, but the vast majority of our publications are 2 pages.
Currently runing the action twice for each job. I would save a bit of time if this could be automated to do both sides with one action, or one script.

Is there an easy way to replace spry menus with jQuery menu system?

I just learned that Adobe is no longer using spry or that spry does not work on mobile devices. My entire site (built in CS5.5 moved to CS6) is built with 3 different spry menu systems. I have been told about jQuery, and many other menu system options. I work in design view and can copy and paste code, read code etc...but cant write it to save my life. I cannot seen to understsand how a different menu software system will integrate with DW especially when I use design view. My question is, is there an easy way to change my spry menu's? I have 2 spry menu bars, spry tabbed menus on EVERY page and a spry accordian menu that repeats on all pages. I am working with a template I built, so hopefully it is an easy fix.
Any walkthrough help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the code for my template minus the div set up.

I don't need the full package. Is there an easy way to change from the full to photographer's package?

I'm trying to save money and realize that I don't need the full package. I wanted to just change over to photographer's pack with just Lightroom and Photoshop but I seem to be missing the way to do that through my account. Is there an easier way?

When I save an attachment in mail, I have to hit save, navigate to the place to save, say OK, then to open it, I have to open a finder window, navigate (again) to the place, and open it. Because we have a very deep directory structure on our corporate drive, it takes like 20 seconds to do this every time I want to save an attachment. Isn't there an easier way to do this?
SUGGESTION TO APPLE: why not put a button on the Save dialog that says "Save and Open".

Just click on the attachment to open it, then if it's worth saving, press Save As...
In the save window, you will see a list of recent places and if your lucky, one shows up that is on the mark and you can select it directly.

Is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file

is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file? I recently swapped to Mac and this is how i moved the library from windows to mac and library is in tact but is there an easier way? My cousin just imported her cd's again, but it was harder for me as i have an ipod with over 150 apps and i needed to move them. i think it would be helpful if i knew of an easier way so i can help a friend move his. Thanks

The general method of use is to download a script (double-click or right-click and use Download or Save As...) to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist or sometimes the entire library.

Is there an easy way to replace/swap assets?

I output my short from Avid, ran it through Compressor, and made a DVD in DVD Studio Pro.
Now I've done some re-cuts and want to create a DVD of the new version, using the DVD Studio Pro file I used for the last DVD. Is there an easy way in DVD Studio Pro to "relink" the new video assets to replace the old ones in the new version? This would save me from rebuilding the main menu button, redesigning navigation, and recreating chapter marks.
I have found a workaround - Quit DVD Studio Pro, "hide" the old assets in a folder, and then direct DVD Studio Pro to the new assets when it asks where the old assets are located. But I wonder if there is an easier way to do this from inside the program.
Thanks very much for any advice!
I am using DVD Studio Pro version 4.2.1

Eric, thanks for chiming in.
I assume you mean replace the old ones with the new ones on the Finder level?
Well, part of my goal is to avoid destroying, re-naming, or moving the old assets.

Is there an easy way to convert original images to b&w ?

I have a canon 5d mark II and when I decide to shoot b&w pics, this is what i do : I set my camera to b&w and shoot raw+jpeg. raw files come out in color all the time but jpegs show up in b&w when i import them . I decided to do so as it is very time consuming to convert the original images to b&w one by one.
Is there an easy way to do it?? Any suggestions?

Little known hint well worth knowing:
If you use the menu selection "Photos→Add Adjustment" or "Photos→Add Adjustment Preset", the operation is done to all selected images.
In addition to what Frank says, you could also apply a B&W Adjustment Preset when the files are imported. These adjustments are like any others -- they can be toggled on and off, removed, and adjusted with the settings in the Bricks used.
For grayscale, it is well worth the time exploring the included Presets and the slider controls. Afaik, sophisticated grayscale photographers optimize their images in color prior to converting to grayscale.
JPG is 8-bit and lossy. RAW is (up to) 16-bit and unconverted (no loss of data, but "lossless" isn't quite right). If the JPG conversion and quality suffices, there is little reason to shoot RAW+JPEG.
In essence, you can use the in-camera-created grayscale JPGs, with their fixed and baked-in conversion settings, or you can use Aperture's broad (and time-consuming) grayscale controls. If you do the latter, and settle on a conversion that works for your camera and subject(s), save it as an Adjustment Preset and use it.

I am trying to convert a .fla file to an .flv file, is there an easy way to achieve this.

I made several movies using symbols and motion twens and now wish to save these as an flv to play in a web browser.
Could someone please respond with an easy solution as I am just learning about this.
Thankyou.

Cheers for the head up, it worked, now I feel like a simpleton. I only saw the choice for doc.fla and thought it must be complicated.
Kind Regards
Andrew Whitehead

No worries, that is very simple to do.
Just click on File--> Save As and select your "File Type" and select as "Flv."
Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions regarding Flash, please feel free to ask me here or sending me an email.
