Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Need help with BC4J/Struts application using a Stored Procedure

Hi,
I am doing a proof of concept for a new project using JDeveloper, Struts and BC4J. We want to reuse our Business logic that is currently residing in Oracle Stored Procedures. I previously created a BC4J Entity Object based on a stored procedure Using Oracle Stored Procedures but this stored procedure is a bit different in that it returns a ref cursor as one of the paramters. http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2003/03/03/gettingAViewObjectsResultRowsFromARefCursor.html
I tried the above method, but I am having some trouble with it. I keep getting the error ORA-01008: not all variables are bound when I test it using the AppModule tester.
Here is the store procedure definition:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pprs_test_wrappers IS
TYPE sn_srch_results IS REF CURSOR;

,total_rows_selected IN OUT NUMBER
,message_cd_out IN OUT VARCHAR2

I created the view object in expert mode so there is no entity object. Can someone help? I don't have much time left to finish this.
Also, could I have done this from the Entity object instead of the view object by registering the ref cursor OUT parameter in handleStoredProcInsert()?
Thanks
Natalie

I was able to get the input parameter by putting the following in my struts actions class
vo.setWhereClauseParam(0,request.getParameter("row0_SerialNum"));
The full code is:
package mypackage2;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import oracle.jbo.html.BC4JContext;
import oracle.jbo.ViewObject;
import oracle.jbo.html.struts11.BC4JUtils;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
public class LienCheckView1QueryAction extends Action
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
BC4JContext context = BC4JContext.getContext(request);
// Retrieve the view object instance to work with by name
ViewObject vo = context.getApplicationModule().findViewObject("LienCheckView1");
vo.setRangeSize(3);
vo.setIterMode(ViewObject.ITER_MODE_LAST_PAGE_PARTIAL);
// Do any additional VO setup here (e.g. setting bind parameter values)
vo.setWhereClauseParam(0,request.getParameter("row0_SerialNum"));
// default value for serialCollCd 1 is for Motor Vehicles
vo.setWhereClauseParam(1,new oracle.jbo.domain.Number(1));
// Default value for maxRows_allowed
vo.setWhereClauseParam(2,new oracle.jbo.domain.Number(20));
return BC4JUtils.getForwardFromContext(context, mapping);
This doesn't always work properly though. The first time I press the query button, the SerialNum parameter is still null, however if I re-execute the query by pressing the query button again. It will work, and return the rows. I always have to query twice. Also the SerialNum attribute is set to a String in my view object, it is a varchar column in the database, but some serial number I enter give a "Error Message: oracle.jbo.domain.Number ". This happens even though the underlying BC4J is returning values for the query. I also get a "500 Internal Server Error java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String on my View object's code at line 65 which is
if (params.length>1) serialCollCdIn = (BigDecimal)params[1];
This is an input paramter to the oracle stored procedure that defaults to a Number value of 1.
Any idea what the problem is? Here is the full code for my view object:

Need help with locating a key using a value in a HashMap.

I am quite new to Java and programming, and am just learning this in High School (enjoying it thoroughly). Sorry if I don't respect the etiquette or formatting of this board (it's unintentional).
I am using the book, Objects First Wth Java A Practical Introduction Using Blue J and am working on extensively improving the "World of Zuul" project. Which is a text-based adventure game.
Here is a code sample;
public String getNameFromList(String name)
boolean found = false;
Set pairSet = xItemList.entrySet();
for(Iterator iter = pairSet.iterator(); (found == false && iter.hasNext());){
Item currentItem = (Item) iter.next().getValue();
String currentKey = currentItem.getName();
if(name.equals(currentKey)){
String changedName = iter.next().getKey();
return changedName;
error; cannot resolve symbol:
method: getValue()xItemList is a HashMap with String keys, and Item values.
The relevant field of Item is name, which is a string.
The currentKey local variable is a little misleading, it is the current name, but acts as the 'key' when looking for the actual key.
changedName (if the parameter name is found from the item.getNames()), is what the method returns, the key associated with a object (by looking at the object's field).
My objective for this method is for it to have a name as a parameter, which it searches for in the HashMap (by Iteration over the entrySet - or I suppose iteration over Set values(), but this loses which object value is tied to which key, doesn't it?), and returns the respective key.
Any help would be very much appreciated (even if it is telling me that this can't be done with HashMaps!).

It's not clear to me what your question is, or if indeed you even have a question.
You seem to be having a problem with types. Iterators return Objects.
So in this line:
Item currentItem = (Item) iter.next().getValue();The iterator's next() method is returning an Object, and you're trying to call getValue() on that Object. But Object doesn't have a getValue() method. That would explain your error message. Map.Entry does; you apparently meant to call Map.Entry's getValue() method. You would cast the result of iter.next() to Map.Entry before you call getValue().
Also you're calling next() on your iterator twice in the body of the loop, which means you're getting two different values... this is probably not what you intend.
But you're making this more complicated than it needs to be anyway.
Why are you iterating through the set of entries in the HashMap?
The whole point of a Map is that you get an item using an object as the key. Just do xItemList.get(name). Right?

Need help with a filter to use in Photoshop CS5

I am a novice so please be patient. Over the past 15 years or so I have been using a simple filter that I created in Filter Factory to do some analysis on aerial photographs. I am way behind on updates (currently using Photoshop CS (version 8)). I want to upgrade and am using a trial of CS5. After talking with customer support I've found there is no way to use this filter in CS5 and Filter Factory is no longer supported in the Photoshop suite. Can someone help me to create the same filter in Pixel Bender to use in Photoshop CS5? I will share the details of the filter if someone responds.
Thanks!

Is the result a one channel image? The Pixel Bender language currently supports one and two channel images, in addition to three and four channel images, but unfortunately the tools do not. You should be able to fake the one channel output by marking only a single channel of a three or four channel image. In any case, give the filter, below, a try. It may not do exactly what you want but it should get you most of the way there. You'll want to duplicate it and modify the arithmetic to satisfy the second filter algorithm once you've got the filter tuned to fit your needs.

Need help with PC build for use with Photoshop CS4 Extended - Have I made the right choices?

Hello,
I'm very new to the inner workings of a PC...this will be first time building one from scratch. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to be confident. I will use the PC primarily for editing, secondarily for iTunes management. I've heard that I should have, at the very least, an SSD for PS, other apps and the O/S. I'll also have a hard drive for data storage. Do I need yet another SSD for scratch? If so, any recs for one? Also, my current build (which does not include any SSDs) is about $800. What can I skinny down, without sacrificing a huge amount of speed/performance? I am looking for major guidance here...I'm ready to order, but I keep second-guessing my choices. I want to make sure I get this right the first time around. I want this machine to last me a good long while. Any help at all will be HUGELY appreciated!

Make sure the motherboard is the third revision as the earlier two had problems with the i5-2500K (Sandy Bridge)
I prefer Asus motherboards but doesn't mean the Gigabyte is a problem. (I note that it scored 4 eggs...)
May not make a difference in Photoshop but for Premiere the Geforce video cards with GDDR5 are preferred.
The LiteOn iHas 224 does lightscribe which is a nice touch for clients/gifts.
There is no room to save as I would consider your build minimum specs for a nice photoshop experience.
As for SSD drives...my research of reviews and articles makes me feel the technology is not ready for mission critical work. So if you are running a business then I recommend not using SSD drives. Rather look at Raptor 10,000 rpm drive for Windows and Photoshop and use the Spinpoint for storage. If not business then I've read the intel x25 SSD drives are solid but I have no personal experience with them.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Ashish,
Since the title of your post refers to Adobe Acrobat, and the
mention of RoboHelp is conspicuously absent, I suspect you are in
the wrong forum. You probably need the Acrobat forum instead.

Need help with an Aforge and windows forms memory stack-up issue

Hello,
I am experiencing a strange memory stack-up in my c# windows form program that occurs all the time on slow PCs, and when the windows form loses focus or is otherwise interrupted on faster PCs.
The program I have written uses Aforge to get images from my webcam, which I then display in an Aforge picturebox control (CurrImagePic in code) in the windows form. The images are switched into the picture box and then disposed at the camera's native
framerate, so it appears as video to the user, not still images. The picture box is 1080x1920, but the space for it in the form is smaller and so I allow the user to scroll around the picture.
After about ~30 seconds of memory-stable operation on slower PCs, the problem begins. On faster PCs, the problem only occurs when holding down scroll bar arrows or clicking and dragging around either scroll bar, and if I lock the PC or bring up the
Ctrl+Alt+Delete menu.
The problem itself is that memory used by the program starts to increase in very large chunks, leading to an out of memory crash. This is unstoppable on slower PCs, but on the faster PCs if you stop scrolling or return from the lock/Ctrl+alt+delete
menu, the program stabilizes at the higher memory usage level. The memory that was accrued during scrolling or while in the lock menu is never collected by the garbage collector. I've even tried to put in a button that forces a GC.collect() when
pressed, and it does not reduce this memory usage.
I've run perfmon and found that the memory increase is on the unmanaged heap, but I don't know if it's coming from bitmaps which are not being disposed or what it could be from. It's been impossible to track down since it does not occur except in the
above conditions. I've tried various solutions (like moving my image processing out of the event handler and even using both global flags and a "lock" statement to try and ensure that only one thread or frame can access the image processing
and displaying method at at time, but I have seen no change. In fact, I am now seeing some unexplained small jumps in memory usage that I wasn't seeing before I put in the lock and moved the processing out of the handler.
Has anyone run into situations like this? I am at a loss for what I need to fix. I think the problem is based around my Aforge event handler and image processing method if it is in my code at all - but I also have a suspicion that this is something
deeper in the windows form code that I am either misusing or that can't keep up with the demands of my code. Code below:
//Applicable Globals to this code snippet
private bool ALLOWFRAME = true;
private Object FRAMEKEY = new Object();
private VideoCaptureDevice COMPVID;
private Bitmap TMPLTCAP;
private System.Drawing.Image OLDIMAGE;
private bool RCRDPIC = false;
private void COMPVID_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs)
//Only process a frame when another is done processing
if (ALLOWFRAME == true)
ALLOWFRAME = false;
Bitmap PassFrame = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(eventArgs.Frame);
ProcessFrame(PassFrame);
PassFrame.Dispose();
private void ProcessFrame(Bitmap frameIn)
lock (FRAMEKEY)
if (OLDIMAGE != null) { OLDIMAGE.Dispose(); }
//Call comparison method if flag is set.
if (COMPON == true)
Difference TmpltFilter = new Difference(TMPLTCAP);
TmpltFilter.ApplyInPlace(frameIn);
OLDIMAGE = CurrImagePic.Image;
CurrImagePic.Image = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(frameIn);
OLDIMAGE.Dispose();
else
OLDIMAGE = CurrImagePic.Image;
CurrImagePic.Image = AForge.Imaging.Image.Clone(frameIn);
OLDIMAGE.Dispose();
//Toggle the flag back to false to show it's safe (i.e., comparisons have stopped)
//for the result-recording method to copy from the picture box if it is attempting to copy
if (RCRDPIC == true)
RCRDPIC = false;
ALLOWFRAME = true;

As you are using third party tools and controls, and I cannot find posts on parallel cases using native VS controls, have you asked in the Aforge forums about your memory issue?

Really need help with this, can't use safari on my ipod

I clicked on a link on a website for my school, and then it opened in another page. idk if i clicked something or this happened on its own, but then a video tried to open from the image. I've messed around with my settings, and i can't seem to be able to get a youtube video to open on my ipod if it's from a website, i always have to go directly from youtube to find anything. So it says "could not load video", the only option is to click okay, so I do, and then it gives me the main ipod youtube page, with history and search and all that stuff. I give up and decide to just look at something else, and click safari, except it goes straight to the image, which goes straight to the unloadable video on another program, and then i have to close the page. It goes in circles, but it means that safari is unusable, and my computer is broken, so i really need it for internet.
Also, is there a way to make youtube videos viewable from a website link?
And why, when I search up a popular song on youtube on my ipod, and type in that i want the lyric video, i only get live versions, and there is never any lyric videos, and i usually detest live versions of songs?? and then when i search the same thing on someone's computer, i get my lovely lyric videos? Is Youtube angry at Apple or something?
aand why were the older ipods less crash-prone?
answers are very helpful, especially for the first question, because i am clueless about technoloy. Honestly, it took me a year to learn how to turn on my computer....

A lote of sitesuse the Flash version of YourTube. no iOS devices support flash. The you have to either use the YourTube app or Safari to go to YouTube since Safari tells the YouTube site to use HTML5.
For other problems withwith Safari try going to Settins>Safari and clear Histor, Cookies and Data.
Also reset the iPod. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Need Help with Format/Partition.. using cmd

Okay guys.. Im kinda sick of trying to get my Recovery to work. Seems like its about to finish and everything is perfect.. then suddenly I get an error message saying that Recovery didnt work, or something like that..
I figured I might as well try starting with a fresh hard drive, then trying the recovery again..
So someone told me that if I have the HP Recovery disks, then I would be able to try them, even on a brand new hard drive, or a formatted one or whatever..
Is this true?
If so, then what I am asking you guys, is, if there is anybody that would be able to help guide me thru the steps needed, in order for me to Format my hard drive, & then partition it or whatever…
& I wanna be able to do all this, using cmd (command prompt)
So Please.. anyone.. your help would be greatly appreciated..
I have an HP Pavilion dv6653cl
Thanks!!

Hi,
There's no need to pre-format a new Hard Drive - if you perform a 'Factory Reset' using your Recovery Discs, these will perform a quick format and also re-create all the original partitions on the new drive as part of the process.
A complete guide to using Recovery Discs can be found on the relevant link below.

Need help with setting a variable using actionscript

So I am trying to import in XML and this is working fine, But
once in flash I need to reference this variable in a later script.
Here is what I got.
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
/////this is the variable, which is working, it pulls the
info from the xml document properly.
var node1 =
this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
////another variable, etc...
var node2 =
this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
/////when traced it outputs the proper value.
trace(node1);
////////does not work here though.
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("co.xml");
var latmin = 37;
var latmax = 41;
var lonmin = -109;
var lonmax = -102;
this.geoPlotter_gp.setRange(latmin, latmax, lonmin, lonmax);
this.geoPlotter_gp.setNodeSymbol("geoPloterNodeSymbol");
this.geoPlotter_gp.addNode(40.48, -107);
////////////////This is where I need to now use the variables
defined above//////////////
this.geoPlotter_gp.addNode(node1);// Boulder
this.geoPlotter_gp.addNode(node2);// Denver
/////any ideas all? I am sure this is something simple...I am
just overlooking something.

when you prefix a variable using var within a function,
you're making it local to that function. ie, node1 and node2 are
undefined outside loadXML().
to remedy, don't prefix with var.

Need help with Premiere 6.5 using IEEE1394 firewire and Canopus ADVC110

I have been using Premiere 6.5 for over 10 years now and had to replace the Pinnacle DV 500 card with a Canopus ADVC 110 and firewire when Windows XP had its Service Pack 2 downloaded. Recently for no apparent reason the Premiere Capture Window is showing Unable to connect to capture driver. I have checked the firewire cable, the ADVC device and the OHCI DV (IEEE1394) device and all appear to be working. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a solution?
Alan

Alan,
The Grass Valley/Canopus ADV-110 should come with a copy of the Edius capture software. That is what I would use for the Captures. Just set it to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. Then, Import these into Pr 6.5 for editing. The ADV-110 should allow you to capture from any source hooked to it, whether analog, like VHS, or digital, like DVD from a connected set-top player. I use a similar device in this manner.
The only slight drawback is that one has no direct Device Control, as they would from a FW connected miniDV camera. I cue up the source player (VHS or DVD), start Edius, after the settings are done, and hit Record, then click my remote for the device deck to Play. Works perfectly.
Good luck, and hope that this helps. For direct FW Capture in Pr 6.5 you would do that from a miniDV camera. Do not know if Pr 6.5 had full Device Control, or not. PrPro 2.0 was the first Pr version that I used.
Let us know if this works.

Export Results-Not Enough Memory (1). I need HELP with this please. Using Windows 7 32-bit. Intel i5 4690K CPU 16GB RAM 120 SSD and 1 TB harddrive.

Everytime I go to export a photo, I get an error.
"Export Results: Not enough memory (1)
Using Windows 7 32-bit. Intel i5 4690K CPU 16GB RAM 120 SSD and 1 TB harddrive.

Even though you have 16gb of ram installed, 32 bit Windows can only use 4gb of it so 12gb is wasted. This is the reason you are getting not enough memory errors and is a known problem with Lightroom an 32 bit Windows during export. You need to change to 64 bit Windows.

Need help with Apex 4.0 tabular form and searchable select list

I would like to use an exisiting plugin for a searchable combo box on a tabular form. When I define the item types on my tabular form I don't see the plugin as an option. I reviewed the help documentation for the apex_item api for the tabular form but I didn't see how I could reference the plugin. Has anyone done this or have other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed this problem in the first beta version but I thought this is so obvious and it will be corrected so I didn't follow on it further. This looks like a bug in 4.0. If I use firebug, I will see that the selected value is still RESEARCH allthough the display changes - <option selected="selected" value="20">RESEARCH</option> If I click on SAVE than wrong values will be changed.
