Preventing the editing of illustrator files when given to a client

Hi all,
Wondering if someone can help.
Our problem is, one of our clients has asked for the actual illustrator file with the artwork in it. We want to somehow prevent them from editing the artwork and just be able to read & print the artwork from illustrator.
Is there any way of doing this, maybe password protecting layers or something? were on CS3.
Thank you for your time.
Jason

In my opinion one should NEVER send original artwork to clients. PDFs are o.k. and so are good quality screen shots, but if you send editable artwork to a client you are asking for trouble. After all, you are the designer and if the client wants to make alterations he should ask you to make them. More often than not clients operate on Windows, so pdfs and RGB pixel files (jpg, png, tiff etc.) are all he will really need.

This used to work in CS5.
Control click the focused image (at front). Near the bottom of the contextual menu select 'Open' and nothing happens.
Anyone else having this problem?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

F110 - How to prevent the creation of DME file in Proposal Step

Hello,
I would like to prevent the creation of DME file in Proposal Step of Payment Run (F110).
Is it possible to suppress "Create Payment Medium" checkbox?
Many Thanks

If you are using the Payment Medium Workbench, there is perhaps a solution:
I found the following code in function module FI_PAYMEDIUM_OFX_20
* We abort the payment if the data is from a payment proposal. With
* OFX we can pay only if the data does not come from a payment
* proposal.
IF I_FPAYH-XVORL = 'X'.
MESSAGE E404 WITH I_FPAYH-LAUFD I_FPAYH-LAUFI
RAISING CANCEL_PAYMENT_MEDIUM.
ENDIF.
So I think it may be possible to solve your problem by using the event modules in transaction OBPM3, with your own function module based on the code given above. I have not tested such solution and I have no experience with these events, but I'm currently trying to use them for another problem.

Edit an illustrator file in after effects

Hi, is there any possibility to edit an illustrator file after it has been added to after effects as a composition?

You can right click on your illustrator layer in you AE timeline and go to "create vector shapes from layer". This will create separate shape layers and allow you to modify each one separately in AE. For me this works many times if I just want to make some small tweaks to the shapes.

Lightroom 4 - My Nik filters are not in the Edit version of Elements when I want to edit with cmd+E.

Lightroom 4 - My Nik filters are not in the Edit version of Elements when I want to edit a picture from the Lightroom Bibliotheque with cmd+E, because Ligthtroom use a back up copy of Ellements 11 that is on an extern back up drive (i don't understand how that is possible). My Nik filters are not on that drive but well on my Mac's Hard Disc.
How can I tell to Lightroom to use the Mac's Hard Disc version that is in the Dock ?

Of course my Nik filters are why the Dock version of my Mac.
The question is that I don't know why, Lightroom when I want to edit a picture in Elements (cmd+e), Lightroom start un security copy of Elements that I have put on my extern hard disk and that copy is without the Nik filters.
So how can I tell to Lightroom NOT to use the version of Element that is on extern hard disk but the original version on the hard disk of my Mac in the map Applications ?

How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode?

How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode and plugged in?

Thanks tjk.
Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

Disk utility to prevent the recover of deleted files / empty trash securely

I just used the disk utility to prevent the recover of deleted files...
It created a recovery folder which I tried to empty trash securely...i the got a message saying there are some locked items and I responded to remove all items...
It would not let me do that the file stayed in the trash until I changed the setting and just emptied the trash the conventional way..
Can anyone tell me why that is happening???

Disk Drill, and all other file recovery apps for the Mac will recover every deleted file it can find on the drive. However, it should not have been at all possible to recover the ones you deleted with Secure Empty Trash. All files currently in the trash have every bit of their data overwritten 7 times with random data.
Were these part of what was recovered? Or just other normally deleted items?

How do I edit an illustrator file saved as a jpeg?

I have an assignment I'm working on, in my color theory class. I saved the file for web, but I didn't save the illustrator file as a copy to edit. Is there a way i can edit the original image, and reopen the layers?

So you exported the file from the Save for Web dialog and then closed the AI file without saving? If that was the workflow, then there is nothing you can do except recreate the file.

Is there a capability to save/export the time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app.

is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.

the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3. There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x.

I no longer get the "edit this bookmark" box when click on the gold star

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP professional, version 5.1.2600 service pack 3, build 2600. Have "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on installed, working fine, but 4 days ago clicking on the star icon to edit an existing bookmark stopped working. Hovering over the gold star still gives the pop up message "edit this bookmark" - but when I click on it, nothing happens, the edit bookmark box does not appear. Also, the "Options" button for the "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on is greyed out, so no luck with trying to fix it from there.

i tried this idea even tho on my main pc Mcafee SA does not cause the problem. on the laptop it has just happened and i have removed and re-installed firefox to no avail. any other ideas please?

HTML Client: How to display the edit screen of an item given its ID?

To edit a selected item, I could easily add a new button on the command line and choose the existing method, "editSelected"
But how to edit another item instead of the selected item? Like How to edit an item whose ID # is 10? i.e How to display the edit screen for an item with ID # 10?

The methods such as 'editSelected' apply to screen property collections. Picking these pre-selected options automatically configure the parameter as '<my-collection>.selectedItem'.
If you want an action not directly related to the screen properties then you can choose one of the screen commands under the 'Navigation' list starting with 'show', as in 'show<my-screen-name'. If the screen command accepts parameters then you can
configure the parameter passing manually. In your example, if you added a local 'int' data property to the screen you could assign the ID to that and bind the parameter passed to the screen to that.
In the instances when not even that is sufficient, well then you write your own custom method.

Can I prevent the rapid flashing which occurs when testing a Flash movie which has a syntax error?

I teach games development using Flash Professional CS6, and one of my students has photosensitive epilepsy. He is finding that the 'strobing' effect which occurs when he executes Test Movie on a movie with errors in its script is triggering headaches which can be a precursor to a fit. Obviously this is making it very difficult for him to complete his lab and assignment work. Is there any way of preventing a Flash movie from running if it contains a syntax error?
I have created a workaround by adding a bunch of extra frames to the start of the movie which will display a "SYNTAX ERROR" message if the script doesn't run - this gives my student a few seconds margin to quite the movie before the strobing begins. I have a single frame at the start with a goto statement which jumps over those error frames if the code doesn't have any syntax errors.
This seems to be working ok, but it's an ugly solution - does anyone know of a better way to deal with this?
Thanks.

1.In Preferences you can check "open test-movie in tabs".
2. Having done that you could write a jsfl-script which switches the focus (immeadiately after you test the movie) to another tab in the same register card, thus, forcing the possible "corrupt" testmovie in the background. If are no compiler errors , the testmovie can be made available by simply switching to the test-movie tab, if there are compiler errors, you can close it without having to look at it.
Another option would be to setup FlashDevelop as compiler trigger of Flash.
You have to change these basic properties in your project:
FlashDevelop will only launch the test movie if it compiles flawless, inside Flash.
FlashDevelop will act as a "bouncer" to Flash.
