Poster design with Keynote

Most people presenting posters at conferences are using Powerpoint. Kinko's and others do accept PPT files for large printing.
Also it is easy to define extra large sizes in PPT for a slide, like 80cm x 120cm.
I didn't find any option in Keynote to design a slide as big.
The slide's size definition in the inspector allows definition in pixel only (hard to convert to cm or inches).
Any suggestion?
PS: I just tried to create a 80x120 cm slide in powerpoint and import it into keynote. It obviously works and gives a keynote slide of 2268x3401 pixels. I've no idea if it is correct but it sounds to be.
This kind of trick however requires PowerPoint AND Keynote. Not very economic.

You'd be far better off doing a poster in Pages, using a custom page size (specified in Page Layout). This would give you all the same graphics tools as Keynote. Once done, simply export it as a PDF, as any printer will be able to print a PDF.
If you think about, it's pretty weird to use a presentation application to create a print poster, and the reason PowerPoint is used this way is more a testament to the limitations of Word than to its appropriateness as a print layout tool.

Web design with Keynote?

Hello. I just purchased Keynote '08 with hopes of using it to supplement my basic web design in iWeb '06. I have been able to put together a slide show with multiple slides and hyper links linking them that resembles how I'd like my website to appear. I export it to Flash which creates both an .swf and .html file of my project. When I open the .html in either browser is looks good and the links work. I know this is sort of a work around to real web design but is it possible to publish the Keynote export as my website, full screen and with all its interactive links and motions? I haven't been able to get iWebmore to work correctly. Or is there another way to publish an .swf file as a full fledged site? Thanks in advance.

If you upgrade to iWeb '08 you may not need to +"get iWebmore to work correctly."+ ...You can use iWeb '08's +HTML Snippet+ window as mentioned in this +"Flash in iWeb"+ tutorial:

Storage location is not updated after posting GR with Mvt type 107(Valuated GR blocked stock)

Hi experts,
Before posting GR through Movement type 107 (valuated GR blocked stock) we can see the storage location field in MIGO screen and able to enter value into this field. But after posting GR when we retrieve the material document we are finding that the field (storage location) is blank, i.e. it's not updated at all. When we check the stock in MMBE we find that no quantity is updated for valuated GR blocked stock.
We want the storage location to be updated while posting GR with 107 Mvt type.
Any idea Please?
Points assured.
Thanks
Amitava

SAP describes it in help.sap.com: Since the material is not to be added to the inventory yet, do not enter a storage location.
If you require a storage location, then I assume that your design does not match with the design of SAP, you are using a function to solve a gap which is not foreseen by SAP for this case.
Especially the 107 is usually representing stock which is still in transfer but you are already the legal owner and have to show the value of those goods in your books.

TIFFs vs PSDs for poster design

Hi,
I am designing a poster where I have received the original photos I need to use as tiffs. In order to use them for the poster design, the only "editing" that really needs to be done to them is to select the outline of someone's body in each pose and get rid of the white space around them by applying a mask.
Should I be saving the end result of removing the white space using a PSD? Or a TIFF?...maybe an LZW TIFF? Interestingly, although TIFFS are supposed to be bigger, in the one photo I've completed so far, the LZW TIFF was smaller than the PSD by about 5 MB.
If it makes a difference, I'm going to be designing the poster in InDesign, and there are 37 of these photos I'm going to need to use. I want to make sure I have the ability to go back and edit if I want to change something once in InDesign (which I know is possible with PSDs) but also appears to be possible with TIFFs too.
Thanks very much for your help.

Actually it does if you are designing with live type layers in Photoshop.
Type elements can print better in InDesign if you save from Photoshop as PDF.
Create a 1"x1" 72 PPI Photoshop document with type. Save copies as PDF, TIFF, and PSD. Place all in InDesign at 600% scale and check the output. Live text in the PDF scales while InDesign uses the lesser raster composite of TIFF and PSD.

Audio (and other) problems noted with Keynote version 4.0.1

Since installing Keynote 4 and the 4.0.1 update, I have noted the following situations and/or problems:
1) When doing a "save-as" the filename is appended with the suffix ".key" but when I subsequently "save" this file, the suffix disappears. The file seems to open and operate OK nonetheless, but this puzzles and somewhat concerns me that someday Keynote may not recognize the file. This happens whenever I "save" a slideshow after I have made any changes to it.
2) When playing back a "soundtrack," the audio "glitches" frequently at slide transitions: this occurs repeatedly on my G5 desktop system but not on my MacBook Pro-17. The "glitches" always seem to occur at the same places in the track - which, of course, is also at the same slide transitions. (This problem has spawned several similar questions and threads in this forum.)
3) Related to #2 above, the "glitches" also interrupt or corrupt the "recording" of that soundtrack, so that the synchronization is off when the slideshow is played back.
4) If I want to have an audio track play under a series of slides, the only way I have found to accomplish this is to create a separate slideshow with the audio track running as a "soundtrack" and "record" the Builds and Transitions in sync with the audio. If I want to incorporate several of these shows together, I can create a "master" slideshow and Hyperlink each segment to the next. HOWEVER...
5) When I "record" a "soundtrack" and "synchronize" the Builds and Transitions within the slideshow, everything plays back properly in sync ONLY when the slideshow is played as a stand-alone presentation (i.e. a cold start from the desktop). If I initiate playback of the slideshow via a Hyperlink from another presentation, the soundtrack plays but NONE of the synchronization works at all.
6) The only way I have found to have an audio track "fade-in" or "fade-out" is to use off-line editing software to record these fades prior to importing the tracks into Keynote. The "Start Audio" Build function is simply a hard "cut" in, and the end of the track is a hard "cut" out.
These problems are consistent and repeatable facts. Whether they are "bugs" in the software or "design shortcomings" is uncertain. Nonethtless ...
At the risk of offending the moderators of this forum, I feel compelled to comment that these problems render the audio operations of Keynote less than satisfactory and should be addressed as soon as possible with another update to this visually stunning but audio-challenged application.

Well Ron S, I re-confirmed why I prefer not to look to tech support for support.
It seems to me that support's main function is to deflect any critical comments and push the blame back to the user.
Frankly, I have better things to do with my time and money than try to help a multi-billion dollar enterprise learn about itself.
So, for the benefit of you and the nearly 400 who have followed this thread, I offer you my latest and probably last attempt to have Apple acknowledge in some small way that "Houston, we have a problem".
I expect this reply will result in this thread being yanked as well, since I'm expressing negative thoughts about Apple's product and wishing they would do better, which is a non-technical gasp of utter frustration and disappointment. Note that "product" is singular, defining Keynote. My other Apple products serve me loyally and superbly, which is why my huge disappointment with Keynote.
So here is my correspondence with Tech Support. I've removed names except mine.
I think it speaks for itself. They have notes from my conversations with them that I have current Apple computers, including a MacBookPro, not an old PowerBook, nevertheless, they have told me that the problem is mine because the fabulous hyper-performing Keynote software is choking my poor old machine (paraphrased muchly).:
Hi (support),
That's disappointing news, especially since this test was done on 3 machines: an old G4 400, a 2.0G Dual G5 and an Intel core duo MacBookPro which yielded identical results.
It is not a hardware issue.
I do not accept a brush-off that it is my hardware that is causing Keynote to be problematic.
I will assume that Apple is not interested in addressing these issues in public and that Keynote is substandard software that is in need of re-authoring.
Sorry to be so blunt, but Apple has set this tone with Keynote, and used its considerable reputation as a leading a/v technology innovator to imply that Keynote will deliver the excellence we Mac users have come to expect.
I have been a loyal mac user since the SE series and have enjoyed success with the machines and software offered by Apple, and depend on them for my livelihood. I'm currently using FC Studio6 and know that Apple is capable of maintaining its high standards.
However, Keynote fails to do that, instead behaving like a product that was invented in a teenager's basement and is in beta. I realize that it's not designed as a FCP level product, but it fails at the basic tasks that you advertise it will complete.
A version 4 product should work as advertised. Keynote certainly does not.
I'm deeply saddened that Apple seems to have become an iPod entertainment company, interested mainly in profits from entertainment rather than serious useful technology.

Hello Sir,
Unfortunately, this does look like it's mostly a case of some of the new Keynote features slowing down the performance on the PowerBook.
At this point, there isn't much else we can do in the way of troubleshooting.
If you are not satisfied with the performance on the PowerBook, using the previous version of Keynote is probably his best option at this point.
We will continue to research this issue, but at this point it's unlikely I'll be able to find additional suggestions for improving performance, as it looks like it is is reproducible and limited to older models.

Hi (support),
Thanks for your recent followup calls. I'm directing a video shoot so am a bit preoccupied.
Here are the tests I mentioned.
These are as simple as it gets, and I think highlights the synchronization problem with Keynote.
Test 1 is straightforward, and demonstrates that a single unedited recorded audio track will maintain mouse click synchronization.
Test 2 is the same file, but with audio modifications applied to each slide in succession.
This demonstrates a dramatic synchronization slippage.
The visuals occur before the click (and audio) markers. Keynote seems to be create delay in audio at each "record and replace" point. This accumulates as the audio is revised in successive slides.
These tests demonstrate that there is a fundamental flaw in how Keynote handles audio in its most basic application.
This does not address the slim toolset available, such as lack of insert capability and other basic audio tools, which is a separate design issue, and I suppose subject to "request for enhancement" feedback.
I've reluctantly abandoned Keynote for my project work at present until these basic issues are addressed and it can be demonstrated that Keynote can successfully execute its feature set.

Screen capture with keynote presentations

After switching from PP to Keynote a year ago, my only disappointment is that I can't do screen-capture of my presentations. With PP, I could use the screen capture program SnapzPro to make a movie of my presentation, with voice over. Typically, if a particular slide didn't go well in class, I would record myself talking through the animations (bringing on pieces of a diagram one at a time, for example), and then post the resulting video on my course website. Doesn't work with Keynote, however, and the SnapzPro people don't have any info about when this problem might be solved from their end. Is there some other program I should be using? Does Apple itself make anything that will do the trick? Is solving this problem something Apple is working on? Or, am I stuck redoing my slides in PP?

Hi there
I read your post. I use Snapz Pro X too, and I was surprised to learn it doesn't work with Keynote. Here's a possible work around.
Record your voice-over on any recorder and export to itunes or if you have sound studio loaded on your mac, use it. From the inspector you can access you voice-over for use in your project.
I've recorded a voice-over in sound studio for a keynote project. From sound studio I export to my desktop. From the desktop I drag and drop the audio onto the slide I need the voice-over on. This works well for me. try it.
Once you've got it set the way you like, export the Keynote project to QT or whatever format you like. In QT, the project will play like a movie. You can save the file, burn to a disk, or post to a web page.
I hope this helps

Compatible with Keynote for Mac?

Can files made with keynote be transferred back and forth between a Mac and edited on both?
thanks.

As the other poster points out, Keynote for iPad lacks some of the Mac features. But as to the features they do share, transfer back and forth is quite nice. Some users I know use the iPad to start a rough draft of a presentation, polishing it on their Mac. I recently created a presentation on the iPad (first generation) and presented it (with the VGA adapter) at a conference. I was sure I would need to move it to my Mac at some point, but for the builds and transitions I wanted, Keynote for iPad had all the features I needed. Later I viewed it on my Mac and it looked and worked fine.

How do I Poster print with photosmart 7520

ZBFW design with vrf

Hello,
I am preparing a zbfw design with 400+ ISR/ASR remote routers, Flexvpn and 1 vrf. Each router has a tunnel for visitors and another tunnel for normal users. Config below. In the documentation, I read "All interfaces in a zone must belong to the same Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance"
There is no need to communicate between vrf visitor and the GRT, but both use the common wan zone on gigibit 0/0 and gigabit 0/2 to communicate to central.

Many thanks Karien

Hello Karien,
Not sure I get the question..
The definition you are looking I guess is this one:
A router can only inspect inter-VRF traffic if traffic must enter or leave a VRF through an interface to cross to a different VRF. If traffic is routed directly to another VRF, there is no physical interface where a firewall policy can inspect traffic, so the router is unable to apply inspection.
Based on that I would say that on each VRF there will need to be a dedicated security zone applied,
I will try to run a lab real quick tomorrow and get back to u,
Remember to rate all of the helpful posts. That's as important as a Thanks.

Hand code or design with tool in netbean ?

Hello everybody, at first i am sorry for my best English. So last time my teacher taught me java with Netbean IDE. But he has just taught me with free design and null layout /:)
So now i don't know how to design GUI with layout. It's difficult. If when i work in a company so do i have to hand code or design with tools ? Sorry if my post are wrong in this box.

Well, IMO, when you learn to code with a tool, you are just learning the tool--you are now finding the facts about that the hard way. You need to go through the Java tutorial on GUI building and actually learn how to do it now. If you reacher is teaching how to use the GUI builder in NetBeans instead of how to build GUI's, he's doing you and everyone else a grave disservice.
When I find someone uses a code builder that is the point that their prospects usually start circling the drain unless they are willing to do a GUI development test using all manual tools; I've ran into far too many self proclaimed programmers that can use tool <name goes here> and really have no idea how to do anything except use that tool to get what ever that tool will produce--they cannot make a GUI or any other significant coding by themselves.

CustomActivity in a re-hosted designer with ContentTemplate.

I am using a re-hosted designer in Workflow 4.5 . My workflow is based off the sample that Ron Jacobs wrote in
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rjacobs/archive/2011/08/14/how-to-create-a-custom-activity-designer-with-windows-workflow-foundation-wf4.aspx. I would like to modify my custom activity so the display name is read-only. According
to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rjacobs/archive/2011/08/14/how-to-create-a-custom-activity-designer-with-windows-workflow-foundation-wf4.aspx post I can do this by creating my own Style or ContentTemplate. I have create my own Template
for other WPF elements but not for an ActivityDesigner. Is there a sample of a content template that I can apply to my custom activity designer so I can set the property to read only. If I override the OnApplyTemplate then the only way to delete
the activity is by the RHM. Can you provide a sample of a ContentTemplate that will work for a CustomActivity.

I am not looking for a composite template rather a ContentTemplate for a custom activity so I can customize the border and change some of the edit behavior. I am on a really tight deadline and unfortunately you answered a question that I believe is not
what was asked. It did not answer my question at all as based on my understanding a composite template is entirely different from a ContentTemplate. . I am trying to log a ticket but that doesn't work. Very frustrating!!!

Trying to Imitate the html POST method with an applet

I am trying to imitate the POST method with an applet, so that I can eventually send sound from a microphone to a PHP script which will store it in a file on a server. I am starting out by trying to post a simple line of text by making the PHP script think that it is receiving the text within a POST-ed file. The reason I am doing things this way is in part because I am, for the time being, limited to a shared server without any support for servlets or any other server side java.
The code I am trying is based in part on an old thread found elsewhere in this forum, concerning sending data to a PHP file by imitating the POST method:
link:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=530399&messageID=2603608
someone named "harmmeijer" provided most of the answers on that thread. If that person is still around hope they take a look at this,also I have some questions to clarify what they said on the other thread..
My first attempt at code is below. The applet is in a signed jar file and is trying to pass a text line to the PHP script in the same directory and on the same server that the applet came from. It is doing this by sending header information that is supposed to be identical to what an html form would send if it was uploading a .txt file with the line of text within it. The applet displays one button. When you press it, it sucessfully starts up the postsim method (defined at the end), which is supposed to send the info to the PHP script at the server.
I have two questions:
1) I know that the PHP script is starting up, because it prints out a few messages depending on what happens. However, the script does not recognize any file coming down the line, so it does not save anyting on the server, and prints out a message saying the no file was uploaded.
Any idea what might be going wrong? I'm not getting any error messages from the applet. I've tried a few different variations of the 'header' information contained in the line:
osToServer.writeBytes("--****4353\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"testfile\"; filename=\"C:testfile.txt\"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n");
The commented out line below it shows one variation (which was given in the thread mentioned above).
2) You'll notice that I've commented out the two lines having to do with the input line:
//InputStream isFromServer;
and
//isFromServer = uc.getInputStream();
The reason is that the program crahes whenever I put the latter line in - to the extent that Opera closes down the JVM and then crashes when I tried to exit it.. I must be doing something horribly wrong there! I first tried using isFromServer = new DataInputStream(uc.getInputStream());
becuase it was consistent with the output stream, but that caused the same problem.
Here's the code:
public class AudioUptest1 extends Applet{
//There are a few spurious things defined in this section, having to do with the fact the microphone data is evenuatly going to be sent. haven't yet insterted code to get input from a microphone.
AudioFormat audioFormat;
TargetDataLine targetDataLine;
SourceDataLine sourceDataLine;
DataOutputStream osToServer;
//InputStream isFromServer;
URLConnection uc;
final JButton captureBtn = new JButton("Capture");
final JPanel btnPanel = new JPanel();
public void init(){
System.out.println("Started the applet");
try
URL url = new URL( "http://www.mywebsite.com/handleapplet.php" );
uc = url.openConnection();

uc.setDoOutput(true);
uc.setDoInput(true);
uc.setUseCaches(false);
//set request headers
uc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
uc.setRequestProperty("HTTP_REFERER", "http://applet.getcodebase");
uc.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","multipart/form-data; boundary=****4353");
osToServer = new DataOutputStream(uc.getOutputStream());
//isFromServer = uc.getInputStream();
catch(IOException e)
System.out.println ("Error etc. etc.");
return;
//Start of GUI stuff
captureBtn.setEnabled(true);
//Register listeners
captureBtn.addActionListener(
new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(
ActionEvent e){
captureBtn.setEnabled(false);
//Postsim method will send simulated POST to PHP script on server.
postsim();
}//end actionPerformed
}//end ActionListener
);//end addActionListener()
add(captureBtn);
add(btnPanel);
// getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
// setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(250,70);
setVisible(true);
}//end of GUI stuff, constructor.
//These buffers might be made larger.
byte tempOutBuffer[] = new byte[100];
byte tempInBuffer[] = new byte[100];
private void postsim(){
System.out.println("Got to the postsim method");
try{
//******The next four lines are supposed to imitate a POST upload from a form******
osToServer.writeBytes("--****4353\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"testfile\"; filename=\"C:testfile.txt\"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n");
//osToServer.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"testfile\"; filename=\"C:testfile.txt\"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n");
//This is the text that's cupposed to be written into the file.

Hi All,
I was trying to write a signed applet that helps the
user of the applet to browse the local hard disk and
select a file from the same. The JFileChooser class
from Swing is what I used in my applet. The problem
is with the policy file. I am not able to trace the
exact way to write a policy file which gives a total
access to read,write,delete,execute on all the drives
of the local hard disk.
I am successful in signing the applets and performing
operations : read,write,delete & execute on a single
file but failing to grant permission for the entire
file.
Any help would be highly appreciated.Which policy file are you using? there might be more than one policy file.
also, u have to specify the alias of the signed certificate in the policy file to grant the necessary priviledges to the signed applet.

I am having a major problem saving with keynote 6.2.

I recently bought a new MacBook which came with Keynote 6.2 preinstalled. I can make and save presentations in it fine. But when I later go to open those presentations with the exact same Keynote program I make them in, I get an error message saying I need a newer version of Keynote to open those files. I've double checked and my version of Keynote is fully updated, so I don't know what newer version it could be talking about. Can anyone explain how it's even possible to save in a file format that the program can't open? At the very least does anyone know how to change the default file format for saving?

Dual-DMVPN Design with Dual Hubs on a single router ??

Hi All,
In DMVPN, in Dual-DMVPN Design with Dual Hubs , can a single router perform the role of dual hubs.
The router has two different internet links. It is intended that when one link goes down, spokes shud connect to the same router onto the other active internet connection. Is this possible ?

Since no one has answered yet, I'll give you the practical answer.
You'll have issues with IPSec and static routing. "DMVPN" itself probably wouldn't have an issue, but it would depend on IPSec and routing to work.
It is easier, by far, to put in a second router. And when you factor in your time to try to make it work (and it may not work), the second router is less expensive.
