Pathfinder-- Merge CS5.5 Problem

Anyone having an issue with Elliptical Tool and Pen lines to merge with 5.5 so far? I cannot figure anyway to merge these lines like I did in cs5.

There is no AI CS 5.5 they have not updated AI or Photoshop to CS 5.5 so try trashing the settings folder.
But a screenshot would be helpful.

Can't Pathfinder-- Merge an object made with paintbrush??

I've been having problems using the Pathfinder-->Merge.
It seems that if at least one of two objects was created with the paintbrush instead of the pen tool, the objects aren't merged correctly.
Why? Shouldn't this work? Am I missing something?
Thank you.
(Using AI CS3)

It all depends on how you define "correct"
Do you need the special stroke that is created by using a paintbrush eg with variable thickness?
Or did you just use the paintbrush because it was at hand?
In the first case you have to expand the stroke: Objekt > Expand apperance
In the second case, delete the brush stroke and assign a normal stroke or none at all.
You'll also have to assign fills. Merge needs them
Screenshots are very helpful in cases like this ...

CS5 Problem with box positioning

CS5 Problem with box positioning. 0 Point for box positioning is on the right side now, how can I change it so its on the left side of the box again?
(When I started to work on my document all of my text boxes were positioned at 20px now they are at 180px and they are 160px width)
Thanks in advance!

Without a screen capture showing a bit more about what you mean, I can't tell if this is just a case that you need to reset the zero-point on the ruler (or change from ruler per page to ruler per spread or ruler on spine...) or some other problem entirely.
You can embed a screen capture in a post using the camera icon on the web page like this:

Ilustrator CS5 Problem

Good afternoon
In Ilustrator CS5 the section to move in vertical the other way around goes in value in negative upwards and value in positive downwards.
In CS4 was well i now no It is possible to correct it?
Thanks

Can’t.
Next time, post your question in the main Illustrator forum. This forum is for discussing and proposing new features, not asking for general help. Also, pick a more descriptive subject line. “Illustrator CS5 problem” says next to nothing, since the whole purpose of the forum is to come here with Illustrator problems.

How to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

how to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

Because it was not possible to apply a gradient to a stroke in CS5. When you open the file in CS5, it is reduced to something that can be rendered in CS5.

CS2 Pathfinder Merge or Outline and Fill

I've spent about 3 hours searching the knowledge base, this forum, and the help file. Hope this is a simple question for you experts.
I have several paths that I would like to merge or outline and fill. I used the direct selection tool to select all the paths. Then I used the pathfinder merge tool, but couldn't fill the new group. Same with the pathfinder outline tool. What is this rookie missing?

You want to end up with one path that is the union of all selected objects?
Don't use Merge, unless all the objects are the same color. AltClick the AddToShapeArea button (top row, leftmost).

CS5 problem: Merge to HDR Pro & Incorrect EV values

Hi,
I'm trying to use the HDR Pro option on Photoshop but have yet to find a way to circumvent an issue I'm having.
The game Gran Turismo 5 on the Playstaiton 3 has a photo mode and allows you to edit camera settings within the game and then export your image. Upon opening the images with Photoshop a message appears informing you the file's Photoshop data may be corrupt. You can choose to ignore this and the image will display as normal.
The real problem occurs when taking photos with different exposure settings and then trying to use the "Merge to HDR Pro" option. For whatever reason, the values embedded in the files are incorrect. I took three photos, the high level photo had an exposure value of -3.0 when viewed in HDR Pro which is obviously wrong, and the normal and low level photos both had a value of 0.0. Obviously these muddled up values cause the whole HDR process to go horrible wrong, as seen here:
http://i53.tinypic.com/euh7ra.jpg
The Photoshop support pages inform me that for files with missing EV values, I can set them manually, however there is no such option for files with incorrect values. Is there any way I can alter the settings manually? Either through Photoshop or editing the files elsewhere?
Thanks for any help.

It sounds like the game is writing incorrect EXIF data.
You'll have to edit or remove the EXIF data that provides the camera settings.
If the EXIF data is removed, then Photoshop won't find the metadata, and will prompt you for the values.
And if you put the correct values in the EXIF metadata, then it will just work...

Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
It has MAJOR flaw.
If a webpage contains the code
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
This is caused by the 'related files' facility
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
All design companies such as us use jquery.
Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

Hi,
Appreciate your reply and accept what you say, I'll take on board the suggestions.
My answers under yours below
Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
- Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
1. Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site? This is a bad practice to get in the habit of. If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours. Many here will argue that point.
- This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
2. "Sometimes". That is the key word in your statement. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times. What's different? It's usually hard to believe it's random luck. But developers in a bug report need to know these things. What's different about the file(s)? Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc? How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
4. You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
"Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch. Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
- Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
"All design companies such as us use jquery". - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1. Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
- Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)

ID CS5 - problem with 2 page numbers in the same page

Until InDesign CS3 I could put 2 page numbers in one page, either in document pages or in master pages, using 2 linked text frames, one in each of the pages I wanted to see the numbers. And this worked fine!
In CS4, this stopped working in master pages. I had to override the text frames from master pages (ctrl/cmd + shift click on the text frames) to get this working, and I had to this in ALL document pages.
I was hoping this problem was solved in CS5 but... the problem got worst!!! Now, not only I have to override the text frames, but I have to erase the markers and put them there again. Which means I have to put page markers individually in ALL pages.
I wonder if there is a new way to do this? Does any one have the answer?...
If not... I really really hope someone from Adobe reads this forum and try to solve the problem, because this is a great inconvenience...
Thanks for any help

Hi, Jongware,
It is a bug since CS4, agravated in CS5, because until CS3 it worked very well.
In fact, it worked through out a lot of pages. I think this was not created only to pages side-by-side but in fact to those articles that continued several pages ahead. So, in a magazine, when one has to break an article and continue this article in other page, one could (and still can) put a text frame in the of the first part of the article and type "Continue on [next page marker]". Then link this text frame with a new text frame on the page where the article continues, (on top of 2nd part of the article) and type "Continued from [previous page marker]".
This situation – where text frames are in the document pages – still works fine.
The problem is when this is a constant and you want to put it in master pages, and now it simply does't work. I mean, when every odd or even pages have both numbers. For me, it's a major problem, because several of my clients just love this!
Is anyone of Adobe reading this? Are you going to help us and fix this problem, please?...

Photoshop CS5 problem - Is this Banding?

Hi
I am using Adobe lightroom 3.0.64 to process RAW photos from my Canon Camera. Then I touch up the pictures in Photoshop CS5. I have been working on some snooted background shots recently and I am experiencing a problem when I edit the photos in photoshop. It appears to be some of kind artifacting or distortion particularly noticeable if using graduated lighting. Looking on the web I have come across references to "banding". I am not sure if this is the problem I am experiencing, but I would appreciate it if someone could take a look.
Either way any help on how to get rid of this issue "post" picture taken would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried duplicating a layer/Blurring it and then using masks to bring out the main focus of the picture. This doesnt seem to work very well and just makes the banding look more noticeable.
I have uploaded a hi-res version of the file:
http://www.lakelanddigitalmedia.com/stock/bandingproblem.jpg
and circled the problem areas.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I can see the same posterization effect when I click on that one too. Does that mean the problem is to do with the screen display profile after all, and I should change the profile to Srgb as suggested.
There's no easy answer, but in general unless your monitor is actually displaying the sRGB color space accurately I'd say it's not generally a good idea to throw out a display profile that brings your particular monitor into proper calibration.
If you want your document products - i.e., that which you publish or print - to hide the posterization, then I suggest making sure Dithering is enabled in your color preferences. That way when the conversion of the document profile to sRGB occurs, the gradients will look smooth.
Today's monitors are good enough that you can easily see 256 different shades of gray. The posterization you're seeing may well be because of that - OR - you may be experiencing the problem I reported in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3473424
Try going into Edit - Preferences - Performance, [Advanced] and changing your OpenGL mode in Photoshop to Basic, then restarting Photoshop. Does that help make your rose image look better on your monitor?

DW CS5 problem- Windows XP - window not showing up - only frame

I installed Dreamweaver CS5 on my older (5 yrs) Sony Vaio laptop with a Pentium M processor and 2 gig of ram running Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3. When Dreamweaver launches, there is that green box/shape that shows up while the program starts completely. That shape is missing the "text" box. See the big hole there? (It happens every time whether I am launching MSWord at the same time or not.) Like this:
Then the bigger problem is in the define a new site window that only appears with the frame and the two spots where you "could" define your site information. I can't continue past this screen. I am new to using DW on a PC. I have DW CS4 on my Mac, but need it to work with Access and ColdFusion for an online class I'm taking.
Other windows such as the help window do the same kind of thing. A frame appears with no content. If you can see, there is even some weird stuff across the top of the window in the second image. It shows whatever is beneath Dreamweaver - this time it was a blank MSWord document. After the Help tab at the top and before and after the Designer button.
I have been in touch with Adobe Product Help three times and they have escalated the case to the next level of support... which means I'm waiting with baited breath for 24-48 hours when they have promised a response to this issue.
I tried doing this to resolve the issue with the guidance of Adobe support:
Free up space on hard drive (now >50% available)
Uninstall and reinstall (no errors)
Install latest update
Deleted Dreamweaver folder out of Registry Edit area
Increased virtual memory
Modify the start page information in the registry edit area and then changed it back after it didn't work
I know this is an old computer - but does anyone have any other suggestions I could try?
Thanks for any help provided! Casper29

Try making sure that the iPod is connected to a USB port in the rear of your computer. Try to use one of the original ports that came with your computer, not an added in card, or through a hub, or anything like that.
See if you're able to restore the iPod
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
Also, have a look at this article, and see if you can find anything useful in here:

If you're able to get your computers to recognize your iPods, but you're still not getting it set up in iTunes, have a look at this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Uninstalling your iTunes will not erase any of the music that you have saved on there. Music that you download from iTunes, or import from a CD, saves as a file in:
Start > My Music > iTunes > iTunes Music
If you downloaded a song from a different source (such as Limewire) and you edited the information so that it shows up correctly on your iPod, you may need to go back and re-edit this information. But, if you imported from CD or downloaded from iTunes, this will not be necessary. When you open your newly installed version of iTunes, it will automatically pull your music from that location and bring it up in your library.
If you're having this problem when installing a new iPod on your computer, but an older one works without problems, you might want to try to make sure you have updated software
iTunes 6.0.4
Open iTunes > Help > About iTunes
If you need to update:

iPod Updater 2006-03-23

Flash CS5 problem - missing text

We've got several Flash files created by a partner organization that we're trying to edit. The files are for an e-learning course and contain four or five "tabs," each with a multiple choice or true/false question, each option labeled A, B, C, etc.. The learner clicks through the tabs, answers each question using either radio buttons or click boxes, and clicks "submit" to check the answers. When they click submit they should get a line below that either says "Correct!" or, if they're wrong, "Answer:" followed by the letter of the correct option(s).
What's happening instead is that about 75% of the time when you answer incorrectly nothing at all appears after "Answer:", or in a couple of cases where it was a multiple choice question with more than one correct option, it may only display one of the correct answers.
Things that may or may not be relevant:
We are working in Flash Pro CS5. These were created in an earlier version, probably CS3 or 4. The published SWF files we received from the original developer at our partner agency don't have this problem, but if we open the Flash files and republish them the error shows up, even if we make no changes to the files. We had a developer working on contract with us for a while using I think CS4 and he was able to republish them without a problem.
Every time we run the debugger on the files we get a Font Mapping dialog box indicating that it contains a font (Universal Condensed) that is not available on our system. I always opt to map it to a font we do have but the next time I open the file I get the same message again.
On any of the question tabs where happening, when I run debugger I get several messages like this in the output window: Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r5" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r1" or Target not found: Target="_parent.q1r6" Base="_level0.checkbuttons.q1r2". I believe the "r5", "r6", etc. is referring to something that the original developer created to automate the creation of these animations. In Designer view, off to the side there are set up instructions, invisible when published, that apparently allow you to enter letters and numbers to create up to 6 questions in any of 8 styles, with up to 8 answers each.
Again in the output window, I'm getting this message: "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.". I've embedded both fonts that I believe are used in the animation but it doesn't seem to change anything.
I was also getting errors like this in the compiler window: Symbol=radio button, layer=Layer 2, frame=1, Line 1 Case-insensitive identifier 'button' will obscure built-in object 'Button'. I am able to click over to the "Actions-Frame" window and the first line there reads either button = "off" or button = "on". If I change button to Button this message is cleared but it doesn't seem to impact the other problem.
I've spent what is officially now a stupid amount of time trying to figure this out, and I'm starting from search a knowledge deficit that my usual Google research skills are failing me. None of us on staff have any formal Flash training, but two of us have taught ourselves enough to successfully make minor changes to all but this one type of file, and there are several of them like this. I have a vague idea that it has something to do with embedding fonts and dynamic text fields, but none of the suggestions I've seen so far works and I'm at a loss. Would appreciate ideas anyone might have about where to look before I pull out any more hair.

Hi,
We have a problem with our action script and seems to be using cookies of clients computers.
We have a action script as under ..........----------
function my_function38()
    var _loc1 = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    totalNodes = _loc1.length;
    cityname_mc.fl_name_mc.fl_name.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.name;
    rate_mc.rate_anim_mc.fl_rate.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.rate;
    fl_month.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.month;
// End of the function
my_Date = new Date();
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("DEL.xml?uniqueID=" + getTimer());
my_xml.onLoad = my_function38;
my_xml.ignoreWhite = 1;
if (!cnt)
    var cnt = 0;
} // end if
++cnt;
if (cnt >= totalNodes)
    cnt = 0;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
else
    gotoAndPlay(1);
Xml Data as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?>
<cities>
<city name="Delhi" rate="£365" month=""file location"></city>
</cities>
What is happening is we are storing many swf files and xml files for different cities on server location 1 with same code but are just changing the xml file to be picked.
I.e
DELHI.XML    DELHI.SWF
BANGKOK.XML BANGKOK.SWF
SYDNEY.XML SYDNEY.SWF
All are in one folder and we are just changing the xml path in fla files and loading the new swf.
Then we are giving out swf urls to an advertising company which is in turn picking up swf files from sever location 1 and displaying the same on their website.
The problem is each time we access the swf file on there site the data doesnot display properly. It is picking up the wrong xml data. When we check the fla the path for xml is ok. What we think is it is saving swf or xml in cookies of user computer. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening.
We Are using Adobe Flash CS5.
Thanks

Blackmagic Intensity Pro using Premiere Pro CS5 Problems!

Blackmagic claims there are not alot of problems with the Intensity Pro and Premiere ProCS5. Well I am having my fair share.
Msvcr90.dll App Error (fixed this on my own doing Microsoft updates)
Decklinkapi64.dll App errors (crash) while editing from timeline
BMDPlayer.prm App errors (crash) while editing from timeline
Unable to "hold frame on in point" using a BM preset. Adobe presets work Beautifully!
and to top it off Poor performance when compared to using Adobe presets with my mediocre Nvidia 9600 GT.
My Intensity worked great with CS3. Is this card just getting outdated. Seems it was originally released with CS2 ?

Shooternz, Before I upgraded from CS3 to CS5, the BM intensity pro seemed to be an economical and popular solution for editing HD with a tapeless workflow and being able to output an accurate preview for color correction, etc... After upgrading to CS5 (I decided to skip 4 because all was well) it seems like i have jumped 10 years into the future.
I am very interested in alternate workflows now. Shooternz, I think I read on another post that you have a Quadro FX 3800. How does this work for you ?
Do you just output to a second monitor ? I to am keeping an open mind. I have been looking at possibly geting an Nvidia GTX 470, although not officially supported by adobe. I cant find a GTX 285 anywhere. All out of stock! discontinued card.
Thanks, Erwin B

[CS2/CS3 JS] Merged Cell Problem...

Hi,
Below is a part of my script that has been giving me a problem with merged cells:
if (myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeWeight > 0.5) {
myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeWeight = 2;
myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeType = "Thick - Thick";}
Everytime the script passes on a merged cell, it quits and it only do changes on the first cell of the merged cells. Once I run my script again, it quits with error because the first cell of the merged cells now has a different stroke weight than the rest of the merged cells.
Is there a way to apply stroke on merged cells? And what is the parameter for UNMERGE? Thanks.

Hi Joaquin,
Here are a few examples – hope it helps.
Kasyan
// lets assume myTable has 4 rows and 4 columns
myTable = app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0];
myStartCell = myTable.cells.item("0:0"); // cell in the 1st column and 1st row
myEndCell = myTable.cells.item("0:3"); // cell in the 1st column and 4th row
myStartCell.merge(myEndCell);
// now merged cells have become the cell in the 1st column and 1st row
myMergedCell = myTable.cells.item("0:0");
myMergedCell.unmerge();
// merge/unmerge the last row
myTable.cells.item("0:3").merge(myTable.rows.item(-1));
myTable.cells.item("0:3").unmerge();
// merge/unmerge the last column
myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(0).merge(myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(-1));
myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(0).unmerge();

Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export

Hello community,
we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...

I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.
