PDF Protection that allows for file placement?

When I set a password on a PDF (mainly to prevent someone from grabbing the photos out of it), it has the side effect of not allowing someone to place the pdf in an InDesign file. This is a big problem, as we're always sending ad files to publishers, and they need to be able to place the PDF...but at the same time we need to protect our copywrited material.
And yes, I know giving them the password will let them place the pdf. But it will also let them extract the images, which is what we're trying to prevent.
How do I do this?
Thanks, andrea

The problem is the type of security you're talking about isn't very strong at all. Any restrictions you apply can quickly be removed by readily available software. So if someone is moderately determined to steal your images, they can rather easily. The security is only an illusion and protecting your rights would be better handled by a simple legally binding agreement between you and your publisher.

Wiki or Other Software that Allows for Collaborative review of PDFs

Here is what I am trying to do. I have hundreds of thousands of pages in PDF format that I am in the process of OCRing and creating a full text index. Given the volume of documents, I am going to have a large team going through these documents and adding comments (either on the documents themselves, or on an associated page).
Does anyone out there know of any good programs for this task?

My understanding of capture is that it takes the file from the scanner. I only have the PDFs, not the originals. Further, given that the OCRing is basically already done, what I need now is a good program for collaborative review and commenting on these documents. Given the volume of comments, the lack of margin space, and the fact that many of the commenters do not have anything more than Acrobat reader, I think a web program that allows for a traditional wiki experience, linked to the PDFs would be ideal.

Any SYNC APPs that allow for specific file synchronization for the MacBook Pro??? Please advise..

Any recommendations for a sync app that allows for specific file synchronization rather than just a complete back-up program? I want to be able to synchronize certain files only on multiple external hard-drives?
FYI:[[Using a 15" MacBook Pro on Mac OSX Version 10.6.7, Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4GB RAM 1067MHz DDR3]]

I'm pretty sure you should keep Boot Camp 2.1, Scorpio.
I'm not sure about the driver only or complete reinstall question though.
Probably the best place for an answer to this would be over in the BootCamp "Installation and Storage" forum at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237 where the "specialists" in this sort of matter hang out.
Post a link to this thread over there as well, so that people will know what has already been suggested.

I mistakenly deleted the files that allowed for the restore last session tab on homepage; how to reinstall?

I was cleaning up desktop and deleted a firefox file that I didn't recognize....it ended up being the one that allows for opening up the previous session

I have no idea how/why it was on desktop....and I emptied the recycle bin already! I was just trying to get organized a bit and clean up clutter...but I did use that feature almost daily, as it helped me to just close up the computer in the evening without worrying about getting to all the work the next day, as I would now immediately remember what I was doing!

Looking for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for playlists to migrate to iPad

I am specifially and exclusively looking for recommendations for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for my playlists to be migrated to iPad intact and playable.
iTunes -> Podcast/Music/Videos does not support mixed (music/video/podcast) playlits or video playlist at all. The app(s) should be able to easily create these playlist on the Mac (and manage content) much like iTunes (10).
On the phone with tech support today and they agree this is missing functionality from Apple. They suggested I reach out on to other users that may have a thrid party solution.

Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device.

HT2798 I have a Mac OS 10.6.8 server in my classroom that I have networked to each student's account. How do I create a folder that allows them to place their finished assignments in it, but does not allow them to go in and remove anything from that fold

I have a Mac OS 10.6.8 server in my classroom that I have networked to student accounts on the iMacs in the room. How do I create a folder that allows studnts to place their finished assignments in it, but does not allow them to go in and remove anything from that folder?

You want a "Drop Box" style folder. You should be able to achieve this by creating a folder and giving it permissions similar to the "Drop Box" folder in your users Public Folder (i.e. write only permissions.)

While the keyboard is present, I am unable to scroll down to see the text, the screen automatically scrolls back up to the top of the screen. We need a fix ASAP!

Have you tried resetting your iPad? You will not lose any data. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Is there a setting that allows for simultaneous downloading and watching of a rental movie on ATV?

Is there a setting that allows for simultaneous downloading and watching of a rental movie on ATV?

Apple TV has no storage, it is caching the movie and needs to load a portion before playback starts. The time it takes is dependent on your network.
What is your current connection via speedtest.net?
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet

Apple discontinued its iWork Beta trial which allowed for the placement of documents on the web and provide others the ability to read, edit and download no matter their software. Is there a replacement product?

Document scanning software that allows for custom search fields, attaching a thumbnail to the scanned document file, and works with any scanner?

I am a professional photographer, with years of paper model releases. I would like to find a document scanning software that works with my exisiting flatbed scanner (Canon MP250) that I can customize the seach fields for (ie. name, agency, job, etc.) and also attach a thumbnail image to as a job reference. I would like the document to be searchable as well. I've looked at a few different document scanning software companies, but I haven't found one that allows me to attach a jpeg file to a scanned PDF. Does anyone know if software like this exists?

You can't do better than to use VueScan:

When will a free app that allows for me to read on my mac like on my iPad be available?

I recently bought a 13 inch macbook air, and I was thrilled. Now, I have to read the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for school. I got the book on my iPad for free on my iBooks app, but when I realized that my dad would need my iPad for work more often, I went onto the app store for my macbook and I was very surprised to find that there wasn't an iBooks for mac. I was fully aware of the fact when I bought my macbook that there wouldn't be any "decent games" on the app store for the mac, but I never imagined that there wouldn't be an iBooks! Does anyone know a FREE app that can take the place of iBooks on the app store for macbooks?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
There are many folks who feel as you do, wondering why Apple doesn't have an equivalent to iBooks for the Mac. Many other eBook formats; Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Zinio, etc have reader apps to read the books on both Macs and iOS devices.
This will help with this one problem, here is a link to another free electronic version of your book that comes in formats that can be read on your Mac;
http://www.free-ebooks.net/ebook/The-Strange-Case-of-Dr-Jekyll-and-Mr-Hyde
You may have to open a free membership with free-ebooks.net to download your preferred format. I would go for the pdf, which you can read on your Mac, but also in an app on your iOS devices as well.

Is there an app that allows for content to be arranged within an interface similar to the App Store's interface?

I have tried a number of applications for arranging media. The ones I am looking to use at work however, we like to have using feeds from sites like flickr. We have Flipboard, which looks great, and usually works pretty great too, but there are errors and lame things about it. This app arranges images based on upload date, which you have to change manually through flickr to make images display in the correct format which is a pain, and images still will become out of alignment in landscape vs. portrait mode.
I was wondering if there was a media app out there that is arranged similar to the app store? I think this would make for a really slick interface to have. Being able to have heading images and sections along with panning sections lower on the page that allow you to scroll content and click to access a larger view.
Has anyone found really great media displaying apps? Any that happen to be similar to the app store layout? Really, any apps you have found for displaying content would be a great help.
Thanks!

Doesn't look all that great, you lose so much of the picture quality just to see a desktop?
Better to have a 1/8 th page window floating on top of other windows instead.

Attendance worksheet that allows for grading

Hi,
I'm a HS teacher, and I'd like to set up an attendance worksheet that would allow me to keep tabs on students' classroom participation--for instance, something that I could mark each kid A or 0 (Absent), and then (assuming they are present) either a 1, 2, or 3 for their degree of participation in the class. The idea would be that at the end, I could tally each kid's score and come up with a good idea of how to grade them on the "class participation" portion of their overall grade. So, for instance, if there were 20 days of class in a particular block of lessons, someone who got a "3" each day would have the maximum score of 60, whereas someone who got a 2 each day would have only a 40.
Ideally, there might even be another table that converted that fraction (16/20) into a percentage rate, since usually the number of days in a given block is not as nicely "round-able" as 20.
I've looked at Roger's attendance worksheet (referenced in some other links on this discussion board), but that seems to be set up as a simpler "present/absent" binary option.
I should say, finally, that I'm an English/History teacher and decidedly not a "technie," so if you can put any response in relatively simple language, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

HI Kristin,
I read your question earlier, and started to work on a table to answer it, but got interrupted by dinner and some chores.
While you've answered your own question, I think this might be of interest.
The paired rows are identical, with the exception of number of absences. There are two calculation of the percent score for each student, and two calculations of the average score (in the range 0 to 3). Explanations below.
Adam is the 'perfect' student—always there, and always engaged in the class. In the first eight days, he's scored 3 every day. His score is three out of three, or 100%, no matter how you calculate it.
Bobbi is just as perfect, but missed one class (due to a medical appointment, as it turns out). A straightforward calculation of her points shows 21 for the first eight days, 88% of what she could have earned if she'd been in class on all eight days (as shown in column AD). 'But,' she might say, I couldn't be here that day for a good reason. I shouldn't be penalized for that. Column AE considers only the days where the student is present (ie. where the score is greater than the zero assigned for 'Absent,' and Bobbi was 100% on those days.
Calvin and Dave are pretty good students—average one day, superior the next. Dave was away a couple of days. Including those days in his calculations drops his percent score from 83 to 63, ignoring them keeps his percentage at 83, the same as Calvin's.
Gerri and Henry's rows introduce a new category—an excused absence, like the one due to Bobbi's medical appointment. In terms of 'bums in the seats', both have the same attendance (and both participate equally well on the days both are there). On the days they were absent, Gerri was playing hookey so she could go shopping; Henry was playing hockey with the school team, and permission to be absent had been asked for and granted before the team left for the tournament. Using a text code (e) for the excused absence, and a numerical one (0) for the unexcused makes the formula in AD ignore the excused absences, but include the unexcused ones in its calculations.
The final pair shows the case of a pair of students who entered the class several days after the rest. The days before they arrived, marked with text entries ( - ) are ignored by the formulas.
The last two columns do similar caculations to those in AD and AE, but show the results as a decimal value out of 3.
Any of the four formulas in these columns will provide you with a readable and useable result; the choice of wich to use is up to you as the teacher, and the choice depends on how you and your school want to treat absences in terms of their affecting calculated grades.
Formulas for each column are listed below.
AA2: =COUNTIF(B2:Z2,0)
Note that this counts only the absences marked with a zero. (see row 9, Henry)
To count excused absences, marked with "e", you'll need this version, placed in a different column:
Aa2: =COUNTIF(B11:Z11,"e")
For a single count including both types of absence, you could use this (see row11, John):
AA2: =COUNTIF(B11:Z11,0)+COUNTIF(B11:Z11,"e")
AB2: =COUNTIF(B2:Z2,">0")
This counts the number of days the student was present (marked with 1, 2, or 3).
AC2: =SUM(B2:Z2)
Sums the number of points earned to date.
AD2: =SUM(B2:Z2)/(3*COUNT(B2:Z2))
AE2: =SUM(B2:Z2)/(3*COUNTIF(B2:Z2,">0"))
Calculates the fraction points earned/points available, as described for the various cases above. Cells are formatted to display this value as a percentage.
AF2: =AVERAGE(B2:Z2)
AG2: =AVERAGEIF(B2:Z2,">0")
Calculates the average points per day, using 'all days' or 'days attended' as above.
Interesting exercise. Took me back to working out a similar sheet in AppleWorks (or more likely, ClarisWorks) for my own classroom several years ago.
Regards,
Barry
