Need help with something...
Hey guys, need some help with this, try to keep up with me here...
I opened up illustrator cs4 and drew individual items (three items) and drew all three on one artboard and saved it as a standard .AI file.
On each of the three items, one at a time I used the selection tool and selected each one and went to Edit>Copy in Illustrator.
Opened photoshop cs4 and set up a new blank document letter size, in photoshop cs4 went to Edit>Paste and I pasted each item as pixels into photoshop. Keep in mind that each of these individual items I have pasted are obviously vector images. After placing the Illustrator files (that are now pixels in photoshop) I saved everything as .TIFF format in photoshop.
Opened up InDesign and opened the TIFF file I just saved and placed it in InDesign as a TIFF file (raster).
My question is a format question, now that I have images that I drew from Illustrator in a Photoshop TIFF file that has been put into InDesign, if I sent this to a printer would it print properly as I see it now? I ask this because I know in the past you guys have said that vector will not print unless it is in Adobe PDF. Did I do this right or should I have saved the three Illustrator images separately as Adobe PDF files and just placed them as individual objects in InDesign?
I remember Jongware, it's come in handy!
Peter, I think bridging these files from one program to another just confuses me. What I guess I was thinking was I could create the single files in Illustrator and drop them as pixels into photoshop because then I could impose them in front of my backdrop (I created a backdrop with other images in photoshop) and thought it would be easier to just save it all as a TIFF file and place it in InDesign. So when I copied/pasted from Illustrator into photoshop, when I chose place as pixels it rasterized a vector image am I thinking right? Truthfully, I just don't know what I'm doing and trying to do it out of convenience. The end result I always try to do is make sure it shows up right in print with no less than 180 resolution because its' hard to find stock photos on the web without a watermark or decent resolution.
Eugene, I knew that Jongware and a couple others mentioned the Adobe PDF format from Illustrator but I couldn't remember if .AI format would work or not. I know in the end you just end up converting everything to PDF.
The way I was taught in school was in the simplest of terms, create custom art in Illustrator (when applicable), alter/enhance stock raster images in photoshop, and then you finish up and place/format in InDesign. My biggest problems really are understanding what format belongs where and when for print and I can't seem to find high resolution pics that work well in my documents, get them as JPEGs in google images.
Anyways, thanks again guys! Still learning, thanks for putting up with me!

I need help with something! Technically my money is being used!
A few years ago I had to let a (I think)5 year old use my apple account since for some reason one could not be made on his ipad mini. I have a game called clash of clans and it saves your process from your game center. What I think has happened is that the kid has been downloading more and more games and happened to have stumble across Clash of Clans. If it is a new device and Clash of Clans has not been downloaded on it ever and/or doesn't have a saved village then when it is downloaded a new village is started. But since it is my game center and my village has already been saved on there, he is asked if he wants to replace the current village with mine. Its been almost a year since I've seen unknown and strange activity, (my cousin has access to my account too but i trust him and i know it isn't him) but now he has taken it too far. There is a special currency in the game called gems. Gems can be bought with money, but i chose not to buy any and to just gradually earn them. I had around 750 gems which is about 1 1/2 of what you would get out of a $5 payment. Now I have about 300. Technically he is using my money. I don't know for sure that it is the kid, but what im asking is -if possible- to removed my saved village from all devices that way he no longer has access to it. Then after that i can log back in and get my village back while he can't since he does not have access to my account anymore.
I woudln't recommend you try to pull this off yourself in a single flattened layer as you're basically talking about something like Pixel Bender effects which aren't on the beginner side to implement. Animating them in flash on a timeline is more your level.
You can also do a simple google search for plugins (free for commercial) to help achieve the effect but it will come down to some coding. Depending on the plugin that coding may be simple or difficult. As they say, anything worth doing is worth doing right and that requires some experimenting and perspiration . -
Need help with something VERY SIMPLE
I'm brand new to Motion - as if today - but I'm only trying to do some VERY simple motions with photos - a simultaneous zoom in and reposition. What I've been doing is setting the starting key frame at one position (adjusting the x, y) and setting the scale. Then I create a second key frame and adjust the postion and scale. It will do the zoom, but then it re adjusts the starting position. If I readjust the starting key frame, it automatically readjusts the second key frame. I don't get it! Applying the various 'behaviors' doesn't seen to help. Certainly there's something obvious here that I'm missing - as I was able to do this in FCP. For some reason the key frames are not fixed when it comes to position.
hi,
a couple of thoughts?
did you actually set a keyframe for position at the first frame?
Also unless you are parked right on a keyframe or have the record button on, if you adjust a value, all the values for all keyframes adjust accordingly. I often mess something up because I wasnt parked on a keyframe.

Need Help With Something In ICloud Program
I am trying to figure out if there is anyway possible I can save all my photos into ICloud? I keep
looking on the Apple homepage and all it talks about is photo storage in ICloud. I can't even find
anything in my ICloud about photo storage. If anybody has any idea how to do this can you please help
me tonight.Hey TrishaA2466,
Based on your description, it sounds like you may be talking about the new iCloud Photo Library beta feature. If you are looking for more information on this new feature, you may find the following pages and articles helpful:

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,

Phenix City, Alabama 36869Well, 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...

I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.
Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

I need help with illustrator 10
I need help with illustrator 10, I have artwork I need to finish in it and it keep kicking me off.
I have added transparency, using SVG effects, a lot more detail and that is when it started kicking me off. I just added 2 gb of ram thinking it was ram I needed but it keeps kicking me off.
I think there is something I need to change in how I save it???
I have a mini mac, 10.5.8
The screen also turns white while I am working and when it does kick me off it says there is an error.I know I am behind the times but I am just trying to get this deadline done and be able to update my computer and such in a few months. Help!I have very simple artwork and when I add any textures or transparency or
any type of detail from SVG effects it will not let me copy it and paste or
when I do try to move it everything turns white or it just kicks me off.
Then I cannot get back onto illustrator. It takes a very long time to save
it or move things. This has not happened before. I have been designing
for 25 years and am self taught. I can get on my simple designs. I am
saving my artwork as AI document. I just have to finish the designs and
put them into dropbox. I do not need to print. I did add 2 GB of ram
thinking the extra memory would help. I think I need to turn something off
and turn something on. There is an error window that comes up the says the
application illustrator has quit unexpectedly. I am at a dead end on what
to do! -
Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,
Nicolas.
(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS. -
Need help with my usecase based on transient ViewObject

I have a transientVO . In this VO Rows will be populated programmatically. CountryId is an attribute of this VO. I have created a viewAccessor "CountriesVA" from Country VO of HR schema.
I have a LOV for the countryId which is based on this VA ,getting countries from CountryTable.
This is the model part which works fine.
Before the page load i have called a method to create a row for this transientVO.Once the row is created i can see the SOC in my page which i have created as below.
Now i want to insert a row in the transientVO if user selects a country and restrict duplicate entry . (As One row is already created 1st time there will be no rows created.after that rows will be inserted)
The issue is :: Suppose there are 2 countries. A & B .When user does the following actions :
Insert A . Done //as 1st entry
Insert B . Done //as 1st time entry
Insert A . duplicate not inserted
Insert B . getting inserted // the bug.

if(oldValue!=null){

// Row row= rsi.findByKey(new Key(new Object[] { newValue}), 1)[0];

Row row=rsi.getRow(key);

System.err.println(duplicate);

}else{
rsi.setCurrentRow(row);
if(!duplicate){
//get handle to the last row
Row lastRow = rsi.last();
//obtain the index of the last row
int lastRowIndex = rsi.getRangeIndexOf(lastRow);
//create a new row
Row newRow = rsi.createRow();
newRow.setAttribute("CountryId", newValue);
//initialize the row
newRow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
//add row to last index + 1 so it becomes last in the range set
rsi.insertRowAtRangeIndex(lastRowIndex +1, newRow);
//make row the current row so it is displayed correctly
rsi.setCurrentRow(newRow);I read the reply from Andrejus Baranovskis and thought of studying and implementing that in my useCase.Well it worked . I implemented the same Logic but rowIteration was done in AppModule.

9.7.6 What You May Need to Know About Programmatic Row Set Iteration
The problem is solved ,the above links helped me solve the problem.
what i did is i have created a method in appmodule to iterate rows and all the method y operation bindings and my logic works fine ....
MY Advice to all Adf developers ,though i am not an expert but i can assure you to follow the above process for rowIteration.If you use the iterator binding in the manage bean to navigate the rows u'll face issues which are unexpected.
In AppModule :::::
public boolean createRow(String oldValue,String newValue){
System.err.println(oldValue+""+newValue);
ViewObjectImpl vo=getViewObj1();
boolean duplicate=false;
if(oldValue!=null){
RowSetIterator iter = vo.createRowSetIterator(null);
System.err.println("iterating rows ");
while (iter.hasNext()) {
Row r = iter.next();
System.err.println(iter.getRangeIndexOf(r)+" row is "+r.getAttribute("CountryId"));
if(r.getAttribute("CountryId").toString().equals(newValue)){
duplicate=true;
break;
// Do something with the current row.
// close secondary row set iterator
iter.closeRowSetIterator();
return duplicate;
In ManageBean :::::
public void countryIdVC(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
// Add event code here...
String oldValue=null;
System.err.println("Old Value"+valueChangeEvent.getOldValue());
setEL("#{bindings.CountryId.inputValue}", valueChangeEvent.getOldValue());
if(evaluateEL("#{bindings.CountryId.attributeValue}")!=null)
oldValue =evaluateEL("#{bindings.CountryId.attributeValue}").toString();
setEL("#{bindings.CountryId.inputValue}", valueChangeEvent.getNewValue());
String newValue=evaluateEL("#{bindings.CountryId.attributeValue}").toString();
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
//access the name of the iterator the table is bound to. Its "allDepartmentsIterator"
//in this sample
DCIteratorBinding dciter = (DCIteratorBinding) bindings.get("ViewObj1Iterator");
//access the underlying RowSetIterator
RowSetIterator rsi = dciter.getRowSetIterator();
if(oldValue!=null){
rsi.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("CountryId", oldValue);
OperationBinding operation = bindings.getOperationBinding("createRow");
operation.getParamsMap().put("oldValue", oldValue);
operation.getParamsMap().put("newValue", newValue);
if(!(Boolean)operation.execute()){
//get handle to the last row
Row lastRow = rsi.last();
//obtain the index of the last row
int lastRowIndex = rsi.getRangeIndexOf(lastRow);
//create a new row
Row newRow = rsi.createRow();
newRow.setAttribute("CountryId", newValue);
//initialize the row
newRow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
//add row to last index + 1 so it becomes last in the range set
System.err.println("Inserting row at index "+lastRowIndex+1);
rsi.insertRowAtRangeIndex(lastRowIndex +1, newRow);
//make row the current row so it is displayed correctly
rsi.setCurrentRow(newRow);
else{
System.err.println("Data found So not inserting,only setting current Row");
Key key =new Key(new Object[] { newValue});
rsi.setCurrentRow(rsi.getRow(key)); -
Need help with my addressbook program
hi,
i need help with my program here. this one should works as:
- saves user input into a txt file
- displays name of the saved person on the jlist whenever i run the program
- displays info about the person when clicked via textboxes given by reading the txt file where the user inputs are
- should scroll when the list exceeds the listbox

}the only problem now is about how it should display the right info about the person whenever i click its name on the list.. something about file reading or something, i just cant figure it out.
and also about how to make it scroll once it exceeds the list.. i cant make it work, maybe something about wrong declaration..
thanks in advance..
Edited by: syder on Mar 14, 2008 2:26 AMLike said before, do one thing at a time. At startup, something like:
//put all the content in a list
ArrayList<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
while(String line=rand.readLine()!=null) {
lines.add(line);
}If you follow the good advice to create a class to encapsulate the entries, you could populate a list of such entries like this:
static final int ENTRY_SIZE = 3;//you have 3 fields now, better to have a constant if that changes
ArrayList<Entry> entries = new ArrayList<Entry>();
for(int i=0; i<lines.size(); i+=ENTRY_SIZE) {
Entry entry = new Entry(lines.get(i), lines.get(i+1), lines.get(i+2);
entries.add(newEntry);
}You could also do both of the above in one run, but I think you will understand better what's happening if you do one thing at a time.
If you don't want to put the entries in an encapsulating class, you can still access this without looping:
int listStartIdx = <desired_entry_index>*ENTRY_SIZE;
String att1 = lines.get(listStartIdx).substring(1);
String att2 = lines.get(listStartIdx+1).substring(1);
String att3 = lines.get(listStartIdx+2).substring(1);
