Odd number (pixel) artboard (CS4) crop issue

I have been doing some tests and this is a rather odd issue I seem to be getting and I can't believe this is an Adobe oversight as it's a bit major and must be something I am missing.
I am going to explain exactly what I am doing to simulate this simple test, although please be aware this is appearing in my normal work flow and causing me some headaches.
I create a new RGB 72dpi 1000x1000 pixel artboard.
I draw a blue box 1000x10 pixels exactly at the top of the artboard.
I then export for web (ctrl+alt+shift+s) and select "crop to artboard" and have it set to 100% quality jpeg.
What I have is a big white box with a blue box going from left to right across the top. All is as expected.
Now I drop back to the artboard, select the artboard tool and click on the blue box, this creates a secondry artboard exactly to the dimensions of the blue box.
Again export to web and this time I have just the blue box being displayed. No problems at all.
Right now back to illustrator and I delete my second artboard and increase the size of the blue box to 1000x11 px.
I move the box down half a pixel so it's again back on the top of the box.
I now select the artboard tool and click on the blue box again, I notice that the artboard dimensions and position again exactly matches the blue box.
I click export for web again and again only the blue box is selected, BUT this time I have a 50% (seemingly) transparant pixel line on the top of the blue box, which in JPEG mode makes a light blue line. If I switch to transparant PNG instead of JPEG I have a semi transparant blue line at the top.
If I switch back to the artboard and move the blue box down 0.5 of a pixel and then move the artboard as well it's fine. The artboards although seperate from each other seem to still be taking what is in them relative to everything else. In CS3 if you drew a crop box around an object, no matter where it was on the screen ("artboard") as long as it was in full pixels (as in not 0.5 etc) you didn't get this problem.
Now let me explain why this is a real pain in my work flow: I design websites in Illy. It's effectivly the tool I use to bring all my elements together, I use PS for advanced image editing, Word for writing my text etc and Illy for putting the pages together, formatting the text, creating the graphics etc. Now all this worked fine in CS3 because I could have something 11px high and have it start on a full pixel (as it works in HTML) and just create a crop box for it when I was exporting. It all worked wonderfully. So what I want to know is am I missing some option in Illy that makes it as good as it was? I love the idea of the artboards but this cropping issue seems like a step backwards and is giving me substandard output like I used to get from ImageReady years ago. If I draw a crisp edge, that is what I want comming out the other end.
Hope someone can help.
Regards
Paul

I am going to reply o this if you make a circle and you make an artboard for that page and save it for the web you will crop half a pixel off the bottom and right sides if you increase the art board by a little over one third pixel all will be fine you get the whole circle.
This was happening to you as well but since it was a rectangle you did not notice it, Now to the problem you mention I would say it was related and that why you don't see it until you move it down is related to the problem that is happening at he bottom and you only see it when it is brought into view as you did.
So what can be done about it?
Adjust it manually make notes of the adjustment and write a script to adjust any artwork to accommodate the discrepancy.
As to you disbelief that Adobe would allow this to get by I am with you we all are hence the reason no one else answered we accept this and wait for a fix and by then we will probably never even notice that the save for the web is fixed.
Everyone will be back on this thread with "Hey when they did they fixed this? Huh?
But until then Happy Trails To Us.

Multiple Artboards CS4 versus Crop Area CS3

If i'm getting this right,
1. CS 4 doesn't haven the Crop Area tool anymore.
2. Artboards are limited to 100 artboards per document depent there size.
Question;
Is it possibel to create an artboard from an element/object as you could with Crop Area?
Because in this way you could save "unlimited" artboard "templates" in your document for reuse.

-Multiple artboards are a step forward.-
Hmm I'm missing here something... Why is the crop Area tool gone? maybe because multiple artboards is the one to compentsate for it?
And well it didn't , there are several discussions about that going on. Croparea's will be converted to artboards in CS4
>>You can't create an artboard from an object. That is indeed one limitation I'd like to see lifted. You can create one artboard and just toggle different layers if needed. I guess I don't really understand the problem<<
The problem is i've got a citymap, dimensions lets say 1000 mm x 1000 mm and I want to make an atlas from it.
In other words I want to take several 150 mm x 210 mm fragments of the original map and put them on seperate pages.
In Freehand I could make reference rectangles and give them a lensfill and export object only as an eps, pdf etc.
In CS3 I could make Crop Areas from the reference rectangles and export as pdf etc.
In CS4 crop areas is gone and will be converted to Artboards (i read in the forum).
I need the reference rectangles because everytime I export the litlle fragment it must be the same and on the exact same place.
The only way to do this in CS4 is to manualy move the page and bring it in line with the rectangle......
Anyone some other idea's? it's crucial for my workflow and I'm looking if Illustrator is capable to do this so we can switch...

Odd number of non-english characters get broken in windows-chrome and ff

I developed jnlp applet which prints out the user input.
When I put odd number of non-english characters(eg: chinese), chrome and firefox browser prints out the last character as question mark.
input : 가
output : 가��
I checked on java console that the character is correct.
It must be bug in communication of applet to chrome browser.
IE prints out correctly.
I can resolve the issue by appending white space on applet and remove it on java script.
Anyone has any clue on the issue?
Codes are as follows.
MainApplet.Java
public class MainApplet extends JApplet implements JSInterface{//, Runnable {
     public int stringOut(String sData) {
          OutData = sData;
          return 0;
js File
function TSToolkitRealWrapper ()
     var OutData;
     var OutDataNum;
var TSToolkit = new TSToolkitRealWrapper();
var attributes = { id:'TSToolkitReal',code:'tradesign.pkitoolkit.applet.MainApplet', width:100, height:100} ;
var parameters = {jnlp_href: getContextPath() + '/download/pkitoolkit.jnlp',
                     separate_jvm:true, classloader_cache:false} ;
TSToolkitRealWrapper.prototype.stringOut=function(str)
          var      nRet = TSToolkitReal.stringOut(str)     ;
          this.OutData= TSToolkitReal.OutData;
          return      nRet;

I checked on java console that the character is correct.So it isn't a Java problem.
It must be bug in communication of applet to chrome browser.So tell the people who make the Chrome browser.
IE prints out correctly.That's a change. I've just spent nine days tracking down an IE applet problem and I'm not finished yet.
Please omit the boldface next time. We can read. Boldface doesn't help; it makes it worse.

Illustrator CS4 crops my artwork when exporting to png

Illustrator CS4 crops my artwork when exporting to png (it always crops on the right side). It doesn't happen everytime but often enough to be annoying. Sometimes centering my artwork in the artboard solves the problem but not always. Do you have any idea why it's happening, and what I can do to avoid that problem?
(See the attached png)

@Jacob & Mylenium: I don't have any stroked path in my artwork. I've tried to add a no fill/no stroke rectangle (same size as my artwork and then a bit bigger) but it didn't work.
Your advices gave me an idea though: I've added a filled rectangle slightly bigger than my artwork, centered it and dropped its opacity to 0%, it worked.
I'm glad I know that trick now, because even when my artwork wasn't badly cropped, it was touching the edges of the picture (png). Then I had to open it in Photoshop and increase the canvas size in order to leave some transparent space between the artwork and the edges of the picture. Now I can do that in Illustrator
Thanks a lot for your help !

PP CS4 Crop Effect clarification

PP CS4 Crop Effect Help
Crop effect
The Crop effect trims rows of pixels from the edges of a clip and automatically resizes the trimmed clip to its original dimensions. Use the slider controls to crop each edge of the clip separately. You can crop by pixels or image percentage.
Two Problems:
After the crop the trimmed clip is not resized to it's original dimensions.
No way I can find to switch the controls to pixels.
Thanks.

There is a zoom option check box that will automatically resize the cropped clip to the full dimensions of the sequence. I dont remember that option available in previous versions and I know I never used if it was.
I can see where this option might be useful especially with a higher resolution still by making an easy way to scale up from somewhere other than the center of the frame instead of needing to combine scale and motion keyfranes. It would be kind of like moving the anchor point in After Effects and then scaling.

How do you print two-sided in In Design when some sections have an odd number of pages?

I'm new to In Design, and I'm trying to do something that seems pretty basic and having trouble figuring out how to do it, and I haven't found anything in the Adobe Forum or online that addresses this situation.
I am working on a document that is broken into sections, with page numbering starting on Page 1 for each section. I have mirror image layouts for the odd and even master pages - for example, the page number is on the left side on even pages and on the right side for odd pages, as you might generally expect to see on a two-sided printout, where in a book or a binder, the even pages are on the left and the odd pages are on the right.
I'm printing the document from my computer onto a printer that supports two-sided printing. I don't see any options in the File / Print window for two sided printing, so I set this option on the printer itself using the [Setup...] button at the bottom of the window. This works - I am getting the printout on both sides of the sheets of paper.
At the moment, the first section is 3 pages (two spreads, one with the first page, and one with the other two). The next section starts with page number 1 on the third spread (one page) and then continues two pages per spread - all as expected.
Here's the problem - the first page of the second section is printing on the back of the last sheet of first section, rather than starting on a new front-facing sheet - so when I put this in a binder, the odd pages are on the left and the even pages on the right. Every time I hit the end of another section with an odd number of pages, it flips around again.
There's a manual workaround I found - scan through the document and add a blank page to the end of every section that has an odd number of pages (and check "Print Blank Pages). But I'd have to do this every time I print as I'm adding new pages, and add/delete blank pages as the number in each section changes.
I can't believe that In Design doesn't provide a way to get this to work properly, as I'm sure many people have had this same situation, and I'm hoping that it's some simple thing that I just haven't been able to figure out...
HELP!!! (thanks! B^)

Well, MS Word does something like this automatically - if you tell it to start a new section on an odd page, and if the section before it ends on an odd page, it will "skip" the even page number in between - and when it prints, it automatically spits out a blank page in between them, so that on a two-sided printer, the odd pages all print on the front of the paper (which is the right-facing sheet when they are put in a binder or book).
InDesign shows the pages like this on the spreads (odd page numbers always on the right), so it is aware of the desired orientation, and I'd think it would provide a mechanism to ensure that they print out this way as well...

Serial number, bought with CS4 is no longer visible on my adobe account, I have just upgraded my computer and downloaded the product as I have no disk drive

Bought a student edition, so the serial number was sent through after confirmation process. I just upgraded my laptop and want to install the product. My new computer has no disk drive so I have downloaded CS4. My previous laptop was damaged a while ago and so I have not been using my Adobe account for some time. I now want to find my serial number to activate CS4 and I can't see it anywhere or find an easy way of contacting Adobe. Help.

If your serial number does not show on your account page, I don't know how anyone can help

Printing double sided odd number of pages

I have Adobe Reader 10.0.2 instalied on my iMac running Mac OS 10.6.7 with a Canon Pixma iP4200 printer. Since installing this version of Reader I have come across a curious problem with printing PDF files double sided with an odd number of pages.
For example, a three page PDF file printed double sided. The first page prints first, then pages 2 and 3 print double sided. This leaves a blank page on the reverse side of page 1 which is INCORRECT and has me puzzled. Normal double sided printing should have pages 1 and 2 back to back and page 3 with a blank page on the reverse.
All my other software on my iMac prints an odd numbered file double sided correctly. It is only Reader 10.0.2 that has this problem and would appreciate a solution.
Have I found a bug in the Reader software?.
Regards
Peter AKA DaftBrush

Hello
I specially created a PDF of three pages with no page breaks or section breaks. The problem still persists no matter what way I set the printing order of the pages, that is automatic, normal or reverse when double sided printing. The same file in MS Word format prints perfectly.
My only solution at the moment is to add a blank page at the end of a PDF document that has an odd number of pages.
I would like to know if I have discovered a bug in Adobe Reader and is there a fix that I can download to solve the problem.

Peter

Define Number Assignment for Goods Receipt/Issue Slips

Hi Experts,
please can you help in the creation of manual creation of transport request for the customizing activity "Define Number Assignment for Goods Receipt/Issue Slips": settings for assigning goods receipt/issue slip numbers upon goods movements (MM) or deliveries (LE-SHP)?
Customizing for this functionality is composed by the following points:
1. functionality activation at plant level
2. number range group/interval code assignment
3. Groups and intervals creation
4. Plant / Storage Location / Movement type combination assignment to number range group.
Customizing request is automatically created for points 1, 2, 4, but NOT for point 3 where you have to create Groups, Intervas and assing each others.
You receive a message from SAP that you have to insert the relevant object manually into transport request.
Please can you tell me exactly what I have to put into transport request as object:
- Program ID (I think R3TR)
- Object Type
- Object name
and any other relevant information with all the details.
Thank you very much
Kind Regards
Andrea.

Hi
You need to create the transport request by selecting the required number & clicking on the trnsaport icon, then a prompt for transport request will be displayed, there you can create the request & move it to production.

Thanks & Rgards

How to find the largest odd number and smallest even number from an array

Hello All
I want to find out largest odd number and the smallest even number from an arry numbers? What is the best method to achieve this.
Thanks
Sravz

You need to sit down and figure out an algo on how you would do it if you had to do the same thing from a blind container perspective:
1 - collect all the items you want to look at
2 - look at an item
3 - is it odd?
4 - if it is odd then check if it is larger than previously largest number
5 - save it if it is larger
6 - return back to 2 unless no more items
7 - item is not odd so it must be even--is it smaller than previous
8 - save it if it is smaller
9 - return back to 2 unless no more items
Now you just need to know how to check if something is even or odd: to do this you will need the modulous operator--integer division.
Note: this all assumes that your needs are for integer type of numbers, otherwise there is not enough information to define an answer. For instance, if you are using floats at 0.5--it that even or odd? Do you consider an err factor when dealing with floats? etc...

Odd number of pages

While creating a wire bound book, I've ended up with an odd number pages and no back cover (the last page is not labled back cover) nor is their a blank inside back cover. Have no idea how this happened. Changing themes or book styles doesn't change it. Do I need to recreate the book from scratch? Or is there some other way to repair this book?

That's the way it works with facing pages....

Dreamweaver CS4 strange issues happening

Suddenly when I do a find and replace and I do a carriage return in the replace portion of the find/replace window to make my edit go to an extra line, the carriage return occurs behind it on the page I'm editing. It doesn't add a <p> tag in the document, just kind of highlights what I have in the find window and each time I hit Enter the next instance of the what I'm trying to find gets highlighted.
Also, when I try to add <strong> tags to my document this appears on the page instead <strong>
What the hell?
I tried recreating my configuration folder (I'm on Windows Vista) but it still happens.
Any ideas??

Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
Just a thought ...
This may help!
Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
It is worth a try!
All the best.

Serial number problems with CS4

My cs4 production premium serial number wont work. I have uninstalled all adobe softwear and used the clean up tool, reinstaled cs4 but the serial still wont work.
Could it be that I have one licence of cs5 in use on one computer at work? My CS4 came with CS5. The serial number works fine to regester it on the adobe website so I know it is correct. Please help.

No message about invalid serial number, it just wasn't excepting the number. An x to the right of it after you put the number in.
Cs4 installed and uninstalled fine 2 times before, just wasn't excepting the code which I know is correct as it works on the regestering in my Adobe.
Yes I started having this trouble after moving the AdobePCD and caps folder. I have put them back and still no joy.
I havent tried reinstallying it as it is presently installed and I am unable to uninstall it using the windows uninstal program or the adobe clean up tool (which didnt seem to do anything).
I have error 6 when trying to open cs4.
I am fully aware Vista is poo, I am upset
Thanks for your help. How do I uninstal CS4 now?
