Minor screen drawing anomaly with non-standard page sizes in outline mode.

When I use a page size of 5.5 x 8.5, and the window is larger than the page, the right edge of the page is drawn incorrectly. Instead of a small shadow at the right edge, there are black blotches. As far as I can tell, this only occurs in outline mode, only on the first page, only in sizes other than 8.5 x 11.
Not a big deal, clearly, but someone ought to log it. Some memory somewhere is not getting written correction. This is easily reproducible.
I'll post a screen shot somewhere if anyone wants to pursue this.

It is fun to explore this question and I have tried to reproduce the problem, but my Pages09 behaves with "all" different page setups like A4, US Letter, half US Letter , US Legal. It would be nice to see the screen shots if it isn't to much trouble.
Question - have updated iWorks with the update that came a while ago??

Printing on non-standard page size

Hi
I'm developing a class that prints a single page tiff on plotter. The page size is not standard. In most cases it is as wide as an A0 or as an A3 but the height has to be computed depending on the size of the image.
First question: how can I get the height in 72nds of an inch from a RenderedImage that contains the tiff? All I can get is its size in pixels, but I cannot get the resolution...
Second question: I tried to set the paper size in the pageformat with a new instance of Paper and also the imageableArea, but some part of the image are not printed and the image is deformed.
Have you got any suggestion?
Here's the piece of my class that actually prints. If you need, I can post the entire class
class PrintTif implements Printable {
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat f, int pageIndex) {
      if (pageIndex >= 1) {
        return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
      if (renderedImage != null) {
              // Converts the image size in 72nd of inch
              // supposing it has 200x200 dpi (it is so, but I don't know why)
              double w = (double) renderedImage.getWidth() / 200.0 * 72.0;
              double h = (double) renderedImage.getHeight() / 200.0 * 72.0;
              // Set the papersize and the imageableArea at the sime size
              Paper paper = new Paper();
              paper.setSize(w, h);
              paper.setImageableArea(0,0,w,h);
              f.setPaper(paper);
              f.setOrientation(w > h ? PageFormat.LANDSCAPE :
                               PageFormat.PORTRAIT);
        // convert to a BufferedImage since I cannot write a RenderedImage for some reason
        BufferedImage good = new BufferedImage(
              renderedImage.getWidth(), renderedImage.getHeight(),
              BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY);
        Graphics2D g2dtemp = (Graphics2D) good.getGraphics();
        g2dtemp.drawRenderedImage(renderedImage, new AffineTransform());
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2d.translate(f.getImageableX(), f.getImageableY());
        g2d.drawImage(good, 0, 0 , (int) f.getImageableWidth(),
                      (int) f.getImageableHeight(), 0, 0,
                      renderedImage.getWidth(),
                      renderedImage.getHeight(), null);
        return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
      else {
        return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;

How do I set non standard print size with Epson SX515 and iMac

I have an Epson SX515w printer and can't find any software on Epson that lets me set non standard print sizes. From my PC Laptop I can print all Avery sizes as well as any size I want. I want to print images to fit into small square frames.

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login

Dreamweaver CS5 will not open. It shows the splash screen and terminates with non admin login but works fine with admin login.
OS - WinXP Sp3
Things I tried.
1) Gave full rights on dreamweaver folder in program files.
2) Disabled welcome screen
3) Updated to Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4
4) Reinstalled
5) Formated PC
But issue persists, please help.

Have you tried deleting or renaming the Dreamweaver configuration file?
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
This can solve many problems and create one in that any snippets that are installed are lost, but you can get them back. Instead of deleting the config file, just name it config.old. When your system is working, just copy the snippets from the .old file to the new one.

AV output and non-standard frame sizes

I usually work in non-standard frame size for my FCP projects because my final output will be in a 2:35:1 ratio. I use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor as an HDMI output to a client monitor. Up until a few months ago the AV output of FCPX would allow the Mini Monitor to accept a frame size of 1920x818 and letterbox the output to 16x9 on this consumer grade LCD. One day, this just stopped working... I've reached out to Blackmagic and they have no solution or reason why this happened, and are not willing to offer support since what I was achieving wasn't an "officially supported" feature. Now, the AV output will distort the image vertically to fill a 16x9 frame. At this point I am stuck having to use either a matte layer or a widescreen effect on individual clips to output correctly to my monitor which increases edit time having to re-render any edits underneath the matte and having to re-order the letterbox effect after apply color correction etc. It was also very easy to adjust the frame offset with this wide angle project size.
Is anyone editing in 2:35:1 (or other cinema standard) projects and getting successful conversion on output? What are you using?
Cheers,
Matt

Thanks Tom, you clarified it ....... or at least something clicked in my brain.
I was trying to set "Custom" when I created the new project.
I didn't know, or had forgotten, that in the "error" window I could select "Custom".
All is now well and FCP X 10.1.1 is pretty clever after all!
There is one weird thing I'd like to mention.
When I clicked on "Custom" the 960 x 600 frame dimensions appeared but the frame rate was listed as 23.98p as shown in the screenshot below.
So what's wrong with that?
Well the clip is 30p and I naturally thought I was going to end up with a project with an incorrect frame rate.
Now here's the funny thing ......... when I selected the project and viewed it in the Inspector it was the correct 30p
So why was I given that worrying piece of misinformation.

I thought FCP X 10.1.1 could handle non-standard frame sizes?

Yesterday I was demonstrating FCP X 10.1.1 to a friend.
As time was limited I imported the nearest piece of video I could find, which happened to be part of an H.264 video tutorial with a frame size of 960 x 600 and a frame rate of 30fps.
I hit the E key to send it to the timeline only to receive the old "not recognised" error message as shown below.
I thought I may have created the project incorrectly but when I repeated with a new project I double-checked that I had selected "Set based on first video clip".
I thought that FCP X 10.1.1 would automatically recognise a non-standard frame size and simply create an appropriate project.
I was too busy doing the demo to investigate at the time but later I discovered that there was no problem creating a 960 x 600 custom project manually.
It's a pity FCPX is not clever enough to do it automatically ............ or can it?

Same content, two books each with its own page size -- best way to manage?

Does anyone have any suggestions for producing two FrameMaker books that:
Contain identical content that must also be periodically updated
Must be delivered as two separate PDF books, each book having a different page size
I'm familiar with migrating FrameMaker content from one page size to another: Create a new chapter template of the desired size, then import styles, etc., and content into that new template.
But IF one must deliver the same content in two different books, AND each book using a different page size (U.S. Letter and B5), AND the content is periodically updated and maintained, THEN what's the best way to manage that same content, two different page-sizes delivery problem?
PDFs are generated from FrameMaker 7 or 8 (we have both) via Adobe Distiller 9.
Cheers & thanks for your help,
Riley

Use three directories - one for the master FM document, and one "build" directory for each of the formats you need. When it's time to build, copy all the files into the relevant build directory and do your stylesheet applying, book regenerating, and printing in the build directory.
If you decide to handle it in FrameMaker (rather than Acrobat), then use two stylesheets - one with all the formats you need and letter-sized pages, and one with no formats and with B5 sized pages. This way you only need to manage one stylesheet for most formatting controls (except page layouts), and you only need to import the page layouts when you want to build a document or "toggle" it between different page sizes. How similar these two stylesheets are to each other (on the master pages) depends on how much you think you can get away with:
If the page sizes are similar, use different pages sizes but identical text frames on the master pages if you can. This would give you identical pagination although the margins would be different. You might be able to find an optimum "compromise" text frame size that fits both page sizes reasonably well.
If you can't use the same text frame sizes on the master pages, then of course your pagination is going to change, but at least try to use text frames that are the same WIDTH. This avoids needing to manually adjust side-head areas, pictures, and table widths every time you change the page size.

Protecting Apache URLs ending in '/' with non-standard DirectoryIndex

I'm using Apache agent 2.2 for Acces Manager 7. My Apache version is 1.3.33. I have a DirectoryIndex line in my httpd.conf like so:
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html
So when I request the URL <http://server.edu/subdir/> I should get <http://server.edu/subdir/index.cgi>.
My problem is when URLs like this are protected by Access Manager. I have an inverted notenforced_list, which contains http://server.edu/subdir*. So only stuff in subdir should be controlled by AM. I want all 3 of these URLs to give the same results:
http://server.edu/subdir
http://server.edu/subdir/
http://server.edu/subdir/index.cgi
The first and third URLs work as expected; the second one (with a trailing '/') doesn't work. If I change my notenforced_list to read http://server.edu/subdir/*, then only the third (complete) URL works.
By looking at the agent logs in debug mode, it appears that AM is first looking at policy for http://server.edu/. That test passes, since that URL is part of the (inverted) notenforced_list.
Then the agent goes on to check the /subdir URL -- but it tacks on index.html:
2006-04-20 14:06:58.144 Debug 10883:252998 PolicyAgent: get_request_url(): Returning request URL http://server.edu/subdir/index.html.
Then it goes on to say that it will enforce policy on this URL, which is correct, but it's referring to index.html, not index.cgi. I'm never prompted for authentication, I just get a browser error that says the page cannot be displayed. If I ask explicitly for http://server.edu/subdir/index.cgi, everything works as expected -- I'm redirected to the AM server and prompted to authenticate, then redirected back to the URL I originally requested.
Am I missing something here? Has anyone else tried to protect URLs ending in '/' with a non-standard name?

Here is the log extract. You can see pretty clearly that it just tacks on 'index.html' to the end of the original URL, when it gets to the 2nd phase of the policy evaluation (after checking for root-level policy). Thanks for taking a look!

Terminal: Stored Remote Connection with non-standard Port?

Hi,
I am new to MacOS and I am amazed by the integrated terminal. However, I sometimes need to connect to servers which use a non-standard SSH port, for example, 2020. I know that I can manually connect, but for convinience, I'd like to have a saved remote connection including the non-standard port. Is this possible somehow?
Thanks,
Felicitus

I did some experimentation, using Terminal.
Terminal -> New Remote Connection -> Service -> [+]
now enter your own new service which includes
/usr/bin/ssh -p 50022
I found I had to enter a bonjour entry to get it to accept my new service, but once I did, I was able to use that new service with the custom -p 50022 port value.
Your mileage may vary. I still prefer iTerm.
Oh yea. In the future, Terminal and Unix oriented questions are better asked in the Mac OS X Technologies > Unix Forum

Problem with too small page size using Java 2D Printing API.

Hello,
I have problem with resolution of printer using Java 2D Printing API. Despite my printer has 600 x 600 DPI, inside java.awt.print.Printable.print(Graphics, PageFormat, int) I receive page format with 600 x 840 page size.
I have tried to set resolution using javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSetand javax.print.attribute.standard.PrinterResolution, but with no result.
Can anybody solve this problem?
Regards,
Karl.

600 x 840 is a Point value; Point is defined as 1/72nd of an inch. Printers do have much higher DPI than this, but I believe that this DPI has to do with richness of the printed image, not an actual ability to color with that level of resolution. You might want to try calling zoom on your Graphics2D object. Otherwise, I don't know what else you can try.

MFP M177FW non standard paper sizes

hi all
i'm using libreoffice on both windows and linux (mint ubuntu and debian testing) and sometimes i have to print on very non standard sizes: 102 * 333 mm
it's a huge pain to decently print on such a paper: is there an easy workaround, especially for linux?
yesterday i've noticed that after some 50 prints on such a format, printer would stop before each print for cooling down, even if it didn't work or has been off for minutes: is it normal?
thank you
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @Carlo85 ,
I see that you would like a easier method for printing custom sizes and the printer keeps going into cool down mode.
I can help you.
I have provided a document with the error code message you are getting.
Resolving Control Panel Messages.
You can create a custom form within the print driver.
Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
Sorry I don't have any documentation for Linux. You would have to contact them for further support.
Have a nice day!

Editing non standard video sizes

Hello everyone.
I have a load of video which is 1120 x 593 its basically screen capture video from my PC in mov format. All i want to do is edit these clips together and add some nice effects. So anyway i toddled off and bought a copy of of premier elements and started movie making!
Anyway i can't seem to figure out how to retain the size of my video as ive got to use a project template, which is great if you are using video from a device but my video is a non standard size. Surely there is a way of doing this?
Do i have to make sure that my imput video matches one of the template, surely not? You must be able somehow to do your own size?
Thanks

Thank you for replying.
Basically I like to fly x-plane flight simulator which gives you the ability to record your flying and outputs the video as a high quality mov. I wanted to use premier elements just to make a movie of different clips and just add a few effects and titles I was just going to output them as fla to watch on my pc or the web. Or as Mpeg 4 to put into powerpoints
I tried using some of the presets but the quality is either awful or i get the black border.
I seems that only the profesional edition allows you to set the frame to desktop and use a custom size. I just can't believe that you need to spend £500 on the CS5 edition to do this? I'm not wanting to do anything clever here, just change the video size.
Ive got a sinking feeling ive just wasted £75.

How do I create a PDF document with multiple different page sizes?

I scan tif images and can have a single document with Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and even full map plan sizes (36" X 24") all in one document. I get the document all set, then do a: File, Print, choose Adobe PDF (running Acrobat XI Pro), but it converts all the pages in my tif file to a single size.
I've found where to set the size, but the problem is I have many different sizes. Is there a way to have the Adobe PDF printer, just use the original documents page sizes for each page when converting?

The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs). To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?

Can you have multiple bleed allowances (along with the multiple page sizes) in InDesign CS5?

Hi there,
I'm new to InDesign and have a question about documents with mixed page sizes in CS5. I'm preparing an illustrated book for print and was hoping to be able to contain all the pages (including the covers) in one document. My basic setup is 140 mm x 210 mm with a 3 mm bleed on each side. I've managed to add the different cover page (146 mm x 216 mm) and spine (10 mm) dimensions easily enough, but can you have multiple bleed specifications too? The bleed allowance I need for the case layout is 15 mm. I've scoured InDesign and the net, but can't find any information about this anywhere. It would seem rather silly to be able to have multiple page sizes in your document without being able to change the bleed allowance too. Here's hoping it's possible! Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Alexandria

make sure what your printer means ie: Page size + 6mm spine bulk + 15mm bleed.
and design acordingly

Is it possible to make a DVD with non-standard sized movies, w/o scaling?

I have some software tutorial material that I want to turn into a DVD. Since the video was created as a screen capture of a particular piece of software, the finished video is an odd size of 830 x 622 (I wanted to capture the screen dumps at their actual resolution, which looks crystal clear - and that was the size of the software's main window.) Note that this is still 4:3.
I edited the material in FCP 5, made a custom sequence setting of 830 x 622, and the exported final results are QT movies with a size of 830 x 622. We then flash-encoded these for web-broadcast at a size of 640x480.
What I am wondering is: now that we want to make a DVD, can a DVD be made that keeps this video at the larger size, so that it is crystal clear? So far, I experimented with using a few of the DVD format encoding options in Compressor, and it seems to end up as 640x480 no matter what I do.

I think you might be mistaken about the 720x480. When I make a new sequence in FCP, it calls 720x480 3:2, not 4:3. If I set it 4:3 (which is one of the two allowed DVD standards), it becomes 640x480.
Indeed, I have been trying various export experiments from Final Cut with Compressor using presets such as "DBD Best Quality 120 minutes - 4:3", and they all come out as 640 x 480. Furthermore, I can import them into DVD Studio 4 and they seem to work normally for now.
So, dragging my 830x622 QT movies directly into compressor and applying the above preset results in very good-looking, 640x480 MPEG-2 video. I had hoped there was some way to keep the higher-resolution of 830x622, but apparently DVD only supports a few standard pixel dimensions (4:3 at 640x480, 16:9...)
