PDF element missing on some systems & on import into ID

I was sent a PDF to include in a magazine I layout. This PDF was originally created by one person and has one element that was added by another (presumably in an application like Word) and then distilled again.
When I open this in Acroboat (9.5.1) it looks as it should. On my main system when I print it, the new element is missing (it does not show up in the print preview either). However, I have tried the same PDF on 3 other systems and on all of those, it prints and previews correctly.
However, on all systems if I try to place it into an ID (6.0.6) document, that new element does not appear (and does not print). If I open it in Illustrator that new element does not appear. But if I open it in Photoshop, that element is there.
I am trying to figure out what is going on so that I can tell the advertiser what they did wrong and how to avoid it in the future. Of course it prints fine for them too.
Any idea what to look for?

I got some more information from the person who sent me the file. Rather than adding that element in Word as I'd thought, she says she created it as a stamp in Acrobat. Additionally, I will note that when I open the file in Acrobat, I can delete every element on the page except for that one (the stamp) and even with only that left on the page that does not print.

LONG_RAW conversion (using OLE) to file system then import into BLOB column

To whom it may concern (I will call "hero" or "savior" if you can solve this for me),
I posted this message an another thread; but then later thought it would be better in its own thread.
I was wondering how to extract the Adobe Acrobat Reader files (PDF) from OLE component stored in a LONG_RAW database column. I was able to successfully extract the MS-Word, MS-Excel, MS-Powerpoint, and MS-Project to the operating system. I was not able to extract the Adobe PDF files. The PDF files do not return an error message nor do they write out to the file system?
Leonid previous posted some suggestions on how to convert the data. Can anyone expand on tasks #4 and #5 (see below)?
You can use this library to do the following task:
1. Get the type of an object stored inside OLE Item. Get information about the OLE server.
GetCLSID, GetProgID, IsIDispatchSupported
2. Get information about the object
IsLinked, GetSourceDisplayName
3. Get information from the object in formats supported by its IDataObject interface.
EnumFormatEtc, RegClipFormat, GetData
I suppose it's the best way to extract pictures!
4. Save the object into an external file throu IPersistFile interface. It works only if IPersistFile::Save method is implemented by the OLE server. Unfortunately, some OLE servers don't support this method even don't return a correct error code.
SaveToFile
Works with: MS Word, MS Excel
Not works with: Adobe Acrobat (I'm not sure. Maybe I've done something wrong), MS Photo Editor
5. Extract the 'Contents' stream from a structured storage /a compound document/.
ExtractToFile
It isn't a documented way, but it can be used to extract PDF files.
I have tried the following two scenarios for the PDF extraction:
-- First Attempt
ret:=OLEXTRA.SaveToFile( application, v_FILENAME_WO_EXT || '.pdf' );
if ret <> 0 then
show_message( 'SaveToFile Error code='||ret );
end if;
-- application does not return an error message
-- application does not save the PDF file to the operating system.
-- Second Attempt
ret:=OLEXTRA.ExtractToFile( application, 'stg.pdf', 'fname.pdf' );
if ret <> 0 then
show_message( 'ExtractToFile Error code='||ret );
end if;
-- application does not return an error message.
-- application does not save fname.pdf to the operating system
-- application saves the stg.pdf to file system, but cannot open in Adobe
Thanks in advance for the help,
Mike

There is no way from PL/SQL in Forms - you'll have to call out to C or Java Code to do it.
You can link in Pro*C or OCI code into forms as a user exit in which case it can share the forms connection but that's not for the faint hearted.
Using Java - called from the Java Importer feature in 6i+ you'll end up creating a separate connection.
Frankly if you can do it in a generic enough way through a VB executable stick with that.
Forms can get images in an out of a long raw using read_image_file and write_image_file but that does not extend to any binary file - just images.

Why won't some .gif files import into Adobe Premiere 11?

Hello! New to Premiere here.
I'm working on a project which involves processing roughly 200 animated .gifs taken from the internet. Many of them will import nicely into Adobe Premiere 11.
The problem is that not all of them will do this. Many of them will give the following message and freeze the entire import process.
This seems like a strange error message to get because
a) It seems to say here that the .gif format IS supported
b) There don't seem to be any codecs for this 11.
The gif that produced that error message is below:
What especially frustrates me is that a gif with similar resolution and size will import, but the one above will not. Below is an example of a gif that will import into Adobe Premiere 11:
Is there an explanation for why this is the case? I have looked up this issue extensively on the internet, and every other person with this issue seems either to be stumped or find a solution for a much older version such as Premiere 8.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.

Sound missing on some files after import from DV camcorder

Hi everyone,
As a new user to Macs grateful if you can help.
When importing to imovie 08 from a DV tape, some clips go fine, others are then missing the audio. Also some clips have audio and playback OK initially, then have audio missing after closing and re-opening imovie. Is this a bug? What should I do? Many thanks

Hi,
I had a simular problem. To solve it I went about 5 seconds into the footage and started importing from that point, not the start of the tape.
What caused the prob? My only guess is the tape I was using was fairly used and right at the start of my tape I had some old footage for less than a second. When the new footage kicked in the sound went.
Hope this helps.

IPhone sometimes won't delete all the photos after I import into iPhoto

Every so often, my iPhone 3GS won't delete some photos after importing into iPhoto and choosing "delete originals." It deletes most of the originals but strangely keeps a certain number around. My basic routine is to "Import All" and then "Delete Originals." This works 98% of the time, but sometimes the iPhone just gets hung up and won't delete the originals until I manually do it from the iPhone itself.

I was looking further into this and I found out that on my Macbook Pro's System Preferences. In the iCloud settings, the "Photos" setting was checked and in the Options next to that, the "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" was also checked.
I think this was the main problem. After I used iTunes to sync with the photos maybe there was some cache settings or something residual left on the iPhone which let to it being continuously restoring.
This is the fix which I used. It is fine now.
Check in System Preferences for - iCloud >> Photos is unchecked.
Check in System Preferences for - iCloud >> Photos >> Options >> "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" is unchecked.
Temporarily delete account for iCloud settings on iOS device - Settings >> iCloud (This didn't affect my main iCloud account only deleted my information on the device)
Re-sync iOS device with iTunes.
Set up your iCloud account on iOS device again.
Hope this helps for anyone having this problem.

Problem with Importing into Lightroom

I have Lightroom 5.3 64 bit installed on a Windows 7 SP1 machine. I have two pairs of mirrored HDDs for image file storage.
I: and J: are both mirrored pairs of HDDs (four discs). When I first imported the "Panorama images" image files on the (I:) drive into Lightroom, the file called "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" was corrupted on the drive; the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" files were not accessible from Lightroom or Photoshop or Windows. (The screen shot above is comparable to a before-and-after screen shot; the (J:) is like the before and the (I:) is like the after screen shot. The "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" file is there before importing into LR, but it is missing after "Panorama images" is imported into LR.)
Below is what Windows and Lightroom showed after the Import of "Panorama images" into LR.
I replaced the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" file, from backup media. I tried Importing the files a second time, and the same thing happened again. At that point I gave up on importing any part of the "Pano" image files into LR.
Next: I also have image capture files, camera card downloads, archived on the same mirrored arrays, in the "My Pictures" file. When I tried to Import the latest file of camera images into Lightroom from "My Pictures", LR again erased or corrupted the "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" files, on both arrays, and again "8 bit Adobe RGB Panos" disappeared, and again I had to replace it from backup media.
This is very irritating. Very very irritating. At this point it makes Lightroom more harmful that useless.

The reason for the different drive designation is the assignment when the drives have been remounted.. The first time this occurred, the machine had one two-drive-array, "Photo Storage RAID (F:)". When I imported into LR the "Panorama images" file, the "8 bit Panos Adobe RGB" file path was lost. The files could not be found in PS or LR. Windows Explorer could not find the files, and showed the odd "8BITAD-1". All of the other files in the "Panorama images" file were imported into the LR catalog.
I then replaced both discs in the RAID array with new HDDs, and rewrote the files on to them, and remounted the array (new letter assignment for the drive). I then, a few months later, tried to again Import the Panorama images file into LR. And the exact same thing happened.
I removed and rewrote both arrays, the new disc pair and the old disc pair, and remounted them, now they are drives (I:) and (J:). (One pair is mounted to the board disc controller, and the other pair is mounted on a PCI SATA controler card,
I then imported "My pictures" (not the "Panorama Images" file) from the (I:) drive into LR, and the "8 bit Adobe RGB panos" again disappeared from the (I:) drive, That is the top screen capture. I then tried to Import the "My Pictures" file from the (J:) drive, and the "8 bits Adobe RGB panos" file disappeared from the (J:) drive; the (J:) file path looked the same as the (I:) file paths in the top screen capture.
LR imported about one half of the "My Pictures" files from the drives; all files between 2016 and 2012 were not imported into the LR catalog (The "My pictures" content files are named by dates, year_month_day).
LR is installed on a 250 gig SSD, and the catalog is also located there. (I have used PS with mirrored arrays since Windows 2000 and BX-133 MBs and PS5,)
(when the 8 bit panos go missing, they are missing from windows too)

Some Activities are missing Resource assignments form an imported v7.0 file

Hello,
What could cause missing resources from an activity after importing a v7.0 project?
I received an imported v7.0 file which is found to be missing some resources. The schedule owner provided the exported file along with a Activity Cost-Loading Report. The ACR lists each resource's activity associations. I created the same report only to find missing resources (materials, money, etc.)
Digging into the schedule do not provide any resolution.
Interestingly, 2 resources are being assigned 3 times to the same activity and only one is showing up on the imported file. Again, the schedule owner's program does include.
The file is exported from a server based and imported into a standalone. The schedule owner is not a superuser/admin unlike the standalone.
Thanks for your time!
Best Regards.
Keith
Knowledgebase Solution:
"XER with duplicate Roles/Resources on an activity is not importing all the roles/resources [ID 905700.1]
If the same resource is assigned to an activity multiple times, one of the following fields must be unique for the additional resource assignments to be
imported. The fields are:
- Activity ID
- Project ID
- Cost Account ID
- Resource ID
- Role ID
- Price / Unit
This is by design.
Workaround for importing XER:
Within the Import wizard, on the Update Project Options dialog, select the Modify button. Set the Action for Activity Resource Assignments to Insert
New as shown below.
Please Note: This will only work if you are NOT using timesheets. If using timesheets do not try this or risk losing timesheet data."
Works but be aware that actuals are not updated. Had to provide a unique identifier as stated above in order for actuals to be reported.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF files missed . how should restore them

After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF files missed . how should restore them?

Your posted question is the key to your answer - sync them back to the iPad. You can still connect the iPad to your PC, launch iTunes, select your iPad name from the left side under devices - then go to the apps tab in iTunes and select all of the apps to sync again.
Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected as well. If you make changes to the app configuration, click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

Transports, M version of query element missing in Dev

Hello
We're trying to import transports to a system copy of our Development system but when trying to do so we get an error in RS_AFTER_IMPORT saying "Element XYZ is missing in version M". (The transports comes form Dev). The element is a Text-variable
When checking in table RSZELTDIR in Dev-Copy I do only see A and D versions of the element XYZ. The same is true in Dev. But in QUA and PROD the element exists in A, D and M versions.
Is this normal? And how do we do if the transport strategy is to Transport between Dev and Dev-Copy?
Thanks in advance
/ Daniel

Thank you for your answer.
However the same transport has entered QA and PROD correctly, it's only when transporting into Dev-Copy that it fails.
Scenario :
Day 1 : a system copy was taken
Day 2-10 : transports leaving Dev going to QA and PROD
Day 11 : Dev-Copy created from the system copy from Day 1
Day 12: The transports from Day 2-10 is being imported into Dev-Copy (and Query transports failing)
So the developers have collected needed objects in the first place, but something is happening when importing into Dev-Copy..... the M versions is missing in Dev-Copy (and Dev) compared to QA and PROD

Infopackages are missing after an system copy from Prodution to Quality

Hi SAP Gurus,
After an DB copy, from BW Prodution to Quality, the infopackages are missing.
Can anyone can tell me how to get the infopackages from PRD to QAS.
Thanks,
Pedro Martins

Hi
Casue for package missing
In some cases infopackages will be missing because of the INIT Delta infopackage will be copied againg from Production were duplicates are created for the same Init. so in such cases the package will be missing
During DB copy if any infopackage are created in production at that point of time the system will not take that package into consideration
inorder to get the package we can do reverse transport (from production to Quality)
follow the steps as below
Transporting from BWP TO BWQ : Reverse Transports
Step1
Create request in Source System (Eg: BWP) say A and Collect required objects (infopackage)into request A
Step2
Goto TCode : SE09/SE10 --> create a transport of Copies request B (give the user name and tick on transport copies just below the workbentch request)
Step3
Check, check box for Transport of Copies and click Create , now the system will prompt one more screen
Step4
Now choose Transports of Copies and continue.
Step5
Enter required Target system(F4 help available) Eg: BWQ.
Step6
Unlock Objects(Tcode : SE03) from Request A and Move Objects to Request B(Tcode SE10).
Step7
Delete objects from Request A
Step8
Relase the request B (se09)
Step9
Now log on to the Target System(Eg: BWQ) import Queue and import request.
Step10
In BWQ queue go to menu Request >Forward> give BWD or
you can directly provide BWD as Target System in Step 2
Step11
Go to BWD and import the request.

When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS?

When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS? I don't want to hear the line that Apple won't allow Flash. Adobe needs to get a workaround PRONTO! We need detection of simple buttons and support for Mp4 and f4v - as exported inline by inDesign when creating PDFs.

Pat Willener, Thank you for your message. I have done what you suggest. I could have sworn I started this topic in the general Adobe Reader discussion. So I have also placed a copy back where I thought I first had it so it can be found by other Windows users who, like me, are creating PDF files because they are meant to comply with an international cross-platform standard and not simply be the domain of one platform over the other.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Support for interactive PDFs
How would you like the feature to work? When I add a transparent frame containing a basic Adobe Media encoded mp4 or f4v video, export to interactive PDF from Adobe InDesign, I want the PDF and its interactive videos to work on iPads. See an example file here: ***EXAMPLE PROVIDED*** Click the lefthand top and bottom corners to bring up interactive video elements which should open in floating window, maximized, then have an exit button to close and continue reading the PDF. Of course, this does not function under Adobe Reader for iOS. You also need to attend to audio files embedded in the same way and allow an exit button to close the audio window so the reader can continue reading the PDF on Windows.
Why is this feature important to you? I create eReaders for schools across the whole country and they are taking up iPads at an unprecedented rate. If Adobe do not produce a solution for interactive PDFs on iOS then I will no longer use InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Media Encoder or Photoshop to create works in the future. You're looking at a massive education market that will leave Adobe behind if this is not acted upon very very soon. For some publishers it's already too late and they have moved to app based creation tools.

Powerpoint presentation - import into Elements

I have a video of a 60th birthday. I also put together Power Point presentation for the function. I wish to combine the video using a clip within clip concept using the Power Point slides.
Can some-one suggest what format the PowerPoint presentation be converted to, to enable it to be imported into Elements. I have tried PDF but it doesn't work.
Tony

A workaround would be to use an application that can record screen activity to record a PowerPoint slideshow as a movie to then import into your project. For example Magix Movies on DVD allows you to define and record an area of the screen to a file in resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. The examples shown below are for MPEG encoding. Magix also have their own proprietary high quality codec so if you record the screen activity to the timeline you can then export in a variety of formats (e.g. DV-AVI).
Capture options for MPEG

"Print" to pdf function missing in Word and other strange print behaviour

I'm trying to narrow down an issue I'm having with printing. I just noticed that the ability to creat a pdf in Word (print -> save as pdf) has disappeared. The button is now gone for some strange reason. I also noticed when trying to print a Keynote outline, when selecting ColorSync (print -> copies and pages [click and select ColorSync]) all my choices are gone (grayscale, b&w, etc.). Something's obviously wrong, but is it my printer software (HP 7310 aio) or OSX? My guess is the two issues are tied together.
Also, I haven't added any new software to my computer and all software updates have been installed.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have no idea whether this will help you or not, but IF some system software somewhow got corrupted, it should help.
1. Download either OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for Intel or OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for PPC
2. Run disk Utility Verify Disk
3. Run Disk Utility Repair Permissions
4. Reinstall OS 10.4.10 from the combo installer that you downloaded in (1).
5. Run Disk Utility Repair Permissions
6. Run  Software Update to make sure you have all the security patches that were released since the COMBO update was released.
7. If you got downloads in (6), run Disk Utility Repair Permissions
8. See whether you are working now

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.
