Linking one file to another

Is there a way to link 1 file to another file using Numbers '08? I can easily link worksheet to worksheet, but what if I want to link information from "file 1A" to a cell in a completely different one- like "file 1b" - that is not associated with the other file?
Help?

Question asked and resoonded many tilmes.
(1) Numbers '08' will no longer evplve.
(2) the wanted feature is unavailable in Numbers '09.
We may build a workaround with an Applescript but it will require a human action to update data wich is far from being safe.
For a user with very specific needs, I wrote an Applrscript wich ask the values in Display dialogs" and store them in several files.
It's the more efficient workaround which I was able to write.

I would like to simply link one pdf to another

I would like to link one pdf to another. I create the hyperlink, however when it is selected, I get an error, and it wants to open a webpage.
Any help? I figured this would be a no brainer.

You probably already have your answer by now....
When creating your link, make sure the link action is Open a File.

Linking one scene to another...

Hi,
Iv been making video's for awhile but what still confuses me
is whats the best way to link one scene to another? on adobe
premiere elements its got alot of different ways to link media
files but most i don't tend to use because i don't want the
transactions to distract me when making, i tend to either use a
cross dissolve of dip in black effect or fade in/fade out video
effect. Without some sort of linking transaction the overall video
looks undone and messy, however to many effects makes the video
look more about the effects than the video itself and id rather
keep the transactions basic, having a dissolve link to long makes
the clips to short and when making a dissolve to short it looks out
of place and like a blinking effect! Does anyone get me? if so
please post!

I'm not 100% sure you are asking about flash - your entire
post sounds like a Premiere question. But
you do mention "scenes" and how to "link" them together -
what's confusing for me is that there is
no need to "link" scenes together in Flash - when compiled,
all scenes become one long timeline.
Scenes in Flash are a managment convenience in the Flash IDE
only.
Do you have a Flash document where you have buttons in 1
scene and trying to script them to send the
playhead to frames or labels in another scene?
Flash doesn't make "videos" in the true sense of the word -
it is not a video editor like premiere.
Sorry if I misunderstood - what exactly are you asking?

How can I script moving paths from one file to another?

Hello. I have 1 image with various color correction layers. The other is the exact same size but only contains paths. How can I script moving paths from one file to another? Thanks, in advance, for any help you can offer. Thanks!

Thanks! This one actually worked for me. Thanks for your help.

A way to move layers from one file to another in actions?

Ok, question for the gurus out there - rather than try to explain, I'll give you an example: Lets say I have a series of adjustment layers that I want to apply to a sequence of 40 images. The adjustments are in a layer group, and are saved as a separate file.
I DON'T want to drag and drop them, I want to run an action that will copy the adjustments to each image- now I know I can save down each adjustment as a separate file, lets a curve (acv) a selective color (ahu) file and load THAT in as part of my action. But I don't want to do that either, because these adjustments will change and I want to easily re-render my changes on all 40 images in one step.
I also don't want to use After Effects to do it, because my client doesn't own it. There used to be
a way to move layers from one file to another in actions because I seem to remember doing it. The answer is not Duplicate Group either because that needs you to specify a destination file name.
Is it possible to do this without scripting? I'm pretty sure it used to be because I seem to remember doing it, just cant remember HOW I did. Maybe I'm wrong about this though.
Thanks and sorry for the long post, this has been baffling me for weeks.

Thanks Ed, but as I explained above
"I know I can save down each adjustment as a separate file, lets a curve (acv) a selective color (ahu) file and load THAT in as part of my action. But I don't want to do that either"
What I want to know is is there a way to move adjustment layers from one file to another in an action. I know also that you can use the clipboard to move pixel layers, but I've yet to find a way to move adjustments.

Drag and drop picture frames in Photoshop Elements 11 from one file to another?

Hello,
I am a digital scrapbooker.
I recently started using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I previously had been using Elements 7. I make extensive use of Picture Frames i.e "Basic Black 10px", and in Elements 7, it was very easy to drag and drop a picture frame from one file to another. (I use a separate file for each scrapbook page, and I often move pictures between pages as I scrap them)
In Photoshop Elementa 11, I can drag and drop a picture frame from one file to another, but ONLY if there is no picture in it. If there is a picture, I cannot drag and drop - the circle-slash icon appears showing that it won't land. I was able to do this in Photoshop Elements 7, whether or not there was a picture in the frame.
Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong, or did Photoshop Elements change this functionality?
Thank you!

I think this might be a bug in pse 11, at least on the windows version.
You might try right clicking on the frame layer in the layers panel, choose Duplicate Frame Layer and pick your other document as the destination.

HELP: Copying layers from one file to another to keep structure not possible??!!!

Hi guys,
I have a curious question. Sounds a bit silly and highly disappointed if Illustrator is actually not capable of doing this. Hopefully I have missed something.
I have an AI doc that has grown so large that saving it now is a major effort so trying to break out sections into multiple AI files. Allot of users will be working on these files so it is imperative that all the Artboard elements are clearly organized in the appropriate folders (layers). Im trying to simply copy and paste a layer that has multiple layers beneath and within those more layers to another empty AI file. Everything copies correctly and in place however it dumps all the elements into a single massive layer in the new file. If I go into the Layer Palette menu and check on Paste Remembers Layers it does a better job at keeping some of the structure but it still doesnt copy exactly how the structure was in the Master document.
Please tell me Im doing something wrong. I cant believe that you cant simply drag and drop a parent layer from one file to another while maintaining its structure! Exactly like in Photoshop - copying a folder from one file to another is simply as easy as dragging and dropping ...is this same methodology not available with Illustrator? I always assumed the layer and folder concept between these two packages were somewhat interchangeable.
Thanks for any help, comments, or suggestions
Nick.

Hi All,
After much trial and error trying to locate where the problem was it ended up being the guide objects. If you have the guides set to lock and attempt to copy out any layer that a guide is sitting in the resulting copy/paste will break apart that layer structure in the destination file. Simply setting the guides unlock allows everything to translate correctly.
You guys may have known about it already but I learnt a little something in the process. Thanks to all for your suggestions!
Cheers

Dragging image from one file to another in photoshop causes color hue to change

Can anyone tell me why this is happening to me?
When I have two image files open in photoshop and I dgrag one of them to the other file it changes color hue? The original image is in TIFF format. When I save that file two PSD and close it, then reopen it and drag it to the the other image file, it still causes hue to change. Opening the original file in AI does not change color? Anyone know why? Is it something with embedded profiles somewhere? If thats the case, how do I get rid of it or harmonize that between files so that I dont get color changes?
Thanks for your support
-Ben

It's Color Management 101:
Always honor the original color profile in which a file is created. Make sure the color profile is embedded, i.e. "the file is tagged" with said color profile.
When dragging one file over another, make sure they are in the same color space and bit-depth mode. If there's a mismatch, CONVERT (never "assign") the file you're copying to the appropriate profile.
If some moron hands you an untagged file, you're going to have to guess in what color space it was created by trying different profiles in the assign dialog box to see which one looks "better". Other than that exception of an untagged file passed on to you by a moron, make it a habit never to deal with untagged files.

How to link one menu to another.

Hey guys,
I am creating a user input form for car types and car parts. I want to link one menu to another. I.e. the first menu will be make with a list of car makes, and if the user chooses "Ford" then the next menu will load items from a table "Ford" with the Ford models in it. I have the tables created in a database, one tabel is make with 50 different makes, and then i have 50 other tables for each make with the model types in it.
Sorry if this is confusing please ask me if you need any more info.
Thanks in advance

What you are looking for is a dependent drop-down menu. To get the values for the second menu, you need to send another request to the server, either by submitting the form again, or by using an Ajax request to populate the dependent drop-down. I don't know of any online tutorials for doing this, but you should be able to find something by doing a Google search. I know that "jQuery in Action, Second Edition" by Bear Bibeault and Yehuda Katz (published by Manning) describes in considerable detail how to do this.

How do I move content from one file to another ?

Hi,
I have two separate DVD Studio Pro files that I created a while back (single-sided DVD).
Now I want to put them both on a dual layer DVD. However, I can't figure out for the life of me how to copy content between files. I don't want to "recreate" one of the DVDs from scratch.
How do I move the menus, tracks, stories, etc from one DVD Studio Pro file to another ?
Thanks,
Damon

You do not need to move the media into the new project assuming all the media is available and on the same hard drive. Usually I keep all DVD SP projects and media on an external drive so it is easy-ish to do. Of course if you copy the assets into the folder for a project it makes thingss easier to move around to other drives. In other words I will create a Poject folder called "MYPROJECT" and in there I will placefolders "MYPROJECTM2Vs", "MYPROJECTAC3S", "MYPROJECTGRAPHICS" etc so if I have to move projects to other computers easier to re-link. Takes up a bit more room if you use the same asset in more than one project but with the costs of Drives so low right now it is worth the lkess hassle to me...
What is the error you are getting?

Error message appears when linking one project to another.

I keep having problems linking a captivate project to another project. The projects are saved as .cp files stored in the same folder as all of my other Captivate files. I did publish them to .htm files and it worked.
Why would they not link properly when they are in .cp format? It also gives me a message that states the directory the file is in does not exist. However, I have checked the pathfile name twice and it is correct.
Any ideas what may be happening?

The last Captivate version to use .cp format was Captivate 4. So you must be speaking about version 4 or earlier here?
The .cp format is the source project file, not an output format like HTML/SWF or PDF. You may be accustomed to other software apps like MS Office where the output is the same as the source (DOC, PPT, XLS, etc) but Captivate is a different beast.
There's no point trying to link one Captivate project file to another. What you are probably hoping to do is link the OUTPUT from one Captivate project to the OUTPUT from another project. Is that correct?

Keynote 08 slide copying from one file to another file

Hello from a MacBook Newbie,
This is my first experience into the Mac world. I use Keynote every day. I also have a lot of PowerPoint files that I have converted to Keynote. I love the drag and drop feature.
My problem is copying slides from one keynote file to another keynote file. The result is text box differences. When using PPT the files always seemed to keep all features intact on copying. Not so in Keynote. Examples are font size changes and text box spacing. The only way to resolve this is for laborious text box revising. I would understand if this were a PPT file converting to Keynote, however, the problem exists for me in copying Keynote slides into another Keynote file.

Not sure if this tip can actually solve your issue but its a handy tip to have. When you press command+V it paste from the clipboard. Now if you press shiftoption+commandV it paste but use the current slide's formatting.
