Looking for Best Program to Create Online Training Lessons

I'm looking to purchase some software to create online
training lessons. The lessons would consist of screen shots, dialog
boxes, narration, possibly animation. Given that Captivate has
Flash, I'm hopeful that it would do the trick and be somewhat
user-friendly given that I'm not a programmer. If there are other
Adobe products or products made by another company that you could
recommend, I'd be in your debt.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're creating software training, I agree Captivate is
the best tool
around. A close second for that type of training is Camtasia.
They both
can output to SWF. Captivate can also output to .FLA for
editing in
Flash directly (and version 2.0 supposedly handles this a lot
better
than 1.0). I'm not sure if Camtasia can export to .FLA...
If your training courseware may extend beyond software,
perhaps into
things like process or conceptual training, Authorware may be
a better
solution. However as it's a much more fully-featured, true
'authoring'
program, the learning curve is a bit steeper.

Looking for comprehensive program to create pdf file from gif image

Hello,
I'm looking for a program that can transform gif image file into pdf file. It is very importent to keep the same quality of the output document as the original image.
I've seen Bridge CS5 in action and was very much disapointed, because the original gif image had 2 colors: black and white, took 60k Byte A4 paper size. But the output pdf file became somehow to 700k Byte size. When our proffi tried to lower the ppi or quality bar there was direct impact on the image quality.
Long time ago Photoshop was able to export images as pdf files and one of the options of the pdf file was to keep the original image as gif, not as jpeg. Because jpeg is very costy format for black-white images and no-one wants to waste memory in vain, so I do not like to save pdf files of 1MB size for an image that takes 100k in gif.
I do understand that nowdays using Photoshop to save pdf files is not the option anymore, isn't it ?
What program can you suggest me to use ? I still prefer to use Adobe products, as long as I can, through I'm starting to get scared of sharp decline in quality.
Thank you in advance.
sincerely,
Al

No, I didn't. The last time I saw it, it was looking just as a regular Reader with a little more options and with an addon to MS-Office, to allow to save MS documents to pdf from inside MS-Office user interface products, and frankly, I do not highly admire there products at all, so I do not have MS-Office installed. But it was also long time ago. If the situation did changed since than, I will try it.
Thank you very much.
I've just tried the Acrobat. It worked great ! Thank you. Just not all the images have options how to save them in pdf file, but that's ok for now

Looking for best practices when creating DNS reverse zones for DHCP

Hello,
We are migrating from ISC DHCP to Microsoft DHCP. We would like the DHCP server to automatically update DNS A and PTR records for computers when they get an IP. The question is, what is the best practice for creating the reverse look up zones in DNS? Here
is an example:
10.0.1.0/23
This would give out IPs from 10.0.1.1-10.0.2.254. So with this in mind, do we then create the following reverse DNS zones?:
1.0.10.in-addr.arpa AND 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa
OR do we only create:
0.10.in-addr.arpa And both 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 addresses will get stuffed into those zones.
Or is there an even better way that I haven't thought about? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Base on your description, creating two reverse DNS zones 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa and 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa, or creating one reverse DNS zone 0.10.in-addr.arpa, both methods are all right.
Best Regards,
Tina

Looking for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In

Hello everyone,
I am Looking for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In.
The purpose of this is to be able to easily embed YouTube Video's within Acrobat documents so that It can stream the content into the PDF file.
Many have suggested to download the content and embed it, but doing so will violate the user agreement with YouTube plus it would increase the size of the PDF file considerably.
If there are any Programmers out there that would be interested in taking this project on please let me know. I believe there is a real need for this tool which people would really like to have.
The programming goals for the project would be as follows:
1. Take the Free YouTube API and create a plug in for Acrobat that would allow you to easily embed content into any PDF. The content must be PC & Mac Playable within the Latest Version Reader.*
2. The "Embed Plug-In" Would essentially allow you to just copy and past the embed codes from YouTube, Hulu, or any other web source that provides an "Embed Code" so that the content can easily be placed within the PDF. This embeded content could be videos, audio, playlist systems, ads, etc.. "anything with embed codes."
3. You would be able to select an area of the PDF for the placement, paste the code and then be able see a preview of the content, then be able to resize the content window. if it resizable like YouTube Files.
4. You need to be able to "Add" to the defined the "Trusted Source" from the Emebed Code information so that it does not require every instance of the content loading to require the user to select "Allow" each time it loads.
The Market for this is as follows:
- Web Based Magazine Creation, that turn into Flash Magazines that were created with Indesign, Acrobat then Flash. This process would easily allow anyone to create interactive content, with ads and multimedia. Anyone cab be interactive publisher with no need for Flash Programming Skills which is currently what is needed to achieve much of this process.
- Educational Institutions that want to create lesson materials with Web Content.
- Business's that wish to share media elements from the web within PDF presentations and Business Materials, such as training materials, Marketing Research, etc..
If you need examples of how this might be used please contact me to discuss it further.
I have a project that I am working on that needs this type of functionality and the deadline is approaching so I am seeking any and all help I can find to reach my goal. This Plug could also be a plug in to Indesign as well. Whatever it will take to reach the desired goal.
Thanks for your assistance.

Since I only found the plug in yesterday I've only played with it a little bit.
First thoughts:
It works. It's easy to set up. I followed the instructions and I had a link working to our promotional video on youtube in only a couple of minutes.
Things I found:
I am using layers extensively in my pdf and wanted the plug in window to show up on only one layer. However as I mentioned before it doesn't do that so my workaround was to change the settings in the video to play in a floating window. However the plugin window is still visible if you do this, so my workaround was to reduce it to essentially a dot on the page and hide it on something pale grey! I created a button in InDesign and used that to fire the video.
Security stuff:
Obviously the pop up windows are somewhat frustrating but I see no way to get around them without doing what Joel suggested in his other blogs, which given the amount of users receiving my pdf and their varying competence levels with computers is not really an option. My workaround for that was to include a note explaining what to expect and do when they did show up.
For the future:
See if Adobe would make this an option in InDesign and usable within it's layers section. That would be awesome. I haven't had a chance to check out the addin Joel mentioned that might help with this in Acrobat. Have you?
Thanks for the other tips on embeding html etc - always good to find new ways get around problems.

Looking for best practice on application scope beans

Hey â€“ a portal newbie here. Iâ€™ve got some application scope beans that need to be initialized on startup. First thought was to create a servlet that would set the bean. Then I saw the GlobalApp setting, but I think that looks like it is more session scope than applicationâ€¦ Looking to be corrected here if I am wrong.
Is there a place where these type of things traditionally happen? Read only, so no cluster worries (I think) Using WLP 8.1 SP4 and looking for best practices. Thanks for the help!

To support "code sharing" you need an integrated source code control system. Several options are out there but CVS (https://www.cvshome.org/) is a nice choice, and it's completely free and it runs on Windows, Linux, and most UNIX variants.
Your next decision is on IDE and application server. These are usually from a single "source". For instance, you can choose Oracle's JDeveloper and Deploy to Oracle Application Server; or go with free NetBeans IDE and Jakarta Tomcat; or IBM's WebSphere and their application server. Selection of IDE and AppServer will likely result in heated debates.

Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?
Hearns
Post relates to: Palm IIIxe
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.

Looking for a program to delete CVCs from a flat file, infocube, ztable.

I am looking for a program that will delete CVCs from a flat file, infocube, or ztable. Based on the research I have done, I would imagine the core of such a program would be the use of function module /sapapo/ts_plob_delete.
If anyone has such a program and would be willing to share it that would be great.
Shane

Hi
Yes you can use this program, but I think the program /sapapo/ts_plob_delete will only delete the data from Master planning Object structure( MPOS). First you have to deactivate the planning are first than use this program which will delete everything and again activate the planning area.
If you want to delete the data flat files or infocube, you require to delete the data directly from the infocubes and add this job in the process chain to delete everything.
I hope this information help you.
Thanks

Looking for a program

Hi guys and gals. Im looking for a program or a way to make a dvd with chapters. I have 2 xvid files that equal 1.4gb's. I'm doing it in toast 8 but it says theres not enough room to do this, and i cant figure out why. Is there another way i can convert it to dvd with chapters. It doesn't matter Manuel or auto chapter input,as long as it has chapters.
Thanx

Toast has no problem with room. I use Toast to generate the M2V and AC3 files from all sorts of video clips and routinely make DVD images (not DVD's - image files) that are 30-50 GB e.g. 15-20 hours long. I delete the image after encoding, as I need what winds up in Roxio Converted items.
However if you are making a physical DVD and you have exceeded the maximum capacity then it won't work - what colour is the indicator around the red burn button? If yellow or red it exceeds the space available.
Manually set the encoding rate to a lower rate then see if the indicator is green. Default rates are quite high a lot higher than they need to be. You can make a DVD with 2hours and 20 minutes at a 4 mbps encode rate. Which frankly is pretty adequate with source video like WMV, XVid, DivX etc.
Note the 1.4Gb size of the Xvid originals makes no difference - how much TIME do they equal in total?
Another method if you are not able to understand the encoding settings - make a DVD image first. Mount that image then make an image again from it - rename the new image, this time Toast will ask - Double layer or single layer? Pick single and it will reencode a new image which you burn later at exactly 4.32GB to fit.
Note as to chapters just set to every 3, 4,5 minutes etc. and it will do them for you. Note as well each Xvid original will be a title on the DVD so you will have 2 titles and they wil have as many chapters as the setting will allow.
If you want one long movie from the two, combine them with QT Pro first, save as a self contained MOV file and use that one file.

Looking for a program like OnyX or Cocktail...

Well, I've got Windows 7 all up and running, and now, I'm looking for a program for Windows that's similar to OnyX. I know Windows has the "Disk Cleanup" feature, but it's really not that great.
Anybody know of any programs that would do the same things as OnyX or Cocktail for OS X on Windows?
Thanks.

CCleaner is a must-have for windows. It cleans out invalid registry entries which slow your computer down. They update the software often.

If you're trying CCleaner, try Defraggler also (same dev). It has a feature that only defrags files that need it.

I am looking for best wireless earphones for my iPhone 5s

I am looking for best wireless earphones. I travel a lot and I need good sound quality earphones.

"Best" in something like headphones is very much a matter of personal preference. Much depends on the type of heaphones you're looking for and how much you're willing to spend. I am very, very fond of the Beats Studio HDs. I take public transportation and they block out most of the annoyances. They are also large and expensive. I can't use them for running.
www.ilounge.com used to do pretty good reviews of accessories for iOS devices. Or, try Amazon, tons of reviews there.
