Preview mode fall apart when viewed on different workstation

Has anyone had this problem: a page's DPS funtion works fine when viewed in the overlay creator's preview mode on one mac and not at all on another. They are authored from the same version of InDesign CS5.5 using two different computers.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

You’re going to need to be more specific.

Email button works in preview mode but not when published to PDF

I thought I had cracked everything but - I have set preferences to email results to a specific address. In preview mode this works and outlook is opened with all the details. Once I have published to Acrobat 9 pdf - there is no response to the email button. If I play the SWF file I have the same problem. What am I doing wrong? Using Captivate 5 trial and Acrobat 9.3 Pro.

Javascript works in Designer preview mode, but not when invoked via process

I have a fragment consisting of a subform and a text object. The subform has the following Javascript for its initialize event:
var cars = $data.input.cars.car.all;
var showMe = false;
for (var i = 0; i < cars.length; i++) {
if(cars.item(i).color && cars.item(i).color.value == 'RED')
showMe = true;
break;
if(!showMe) {
this.presence = 'hidden';
The code is supposed to loop through all my input XML data's cars, see if each car has a color element, and if so, see if the color is RED. If any of the cars have a color of RED, the fragment should be visible. Otherwise, it should be hidden.
The Javascript works fine when I preview the fragment in Designer using a sample XML input file with no color element (i.e. the text in the fragment is hidden).
The Javascript works fine in my main document (which has the fragment included in it) when in preview mode in Designer.
The Javascript does not work when I invoke my process in LiveCycle server. I pass in data that has 1 car without a color element, and for some reason my fragment is visible.
Is there something wrong with my Javascript? Is this the wrong way to check to see if an XML element is present? Is something else wrong?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy

I guess a more appropriate question might be: How can I tell if my XML input data does or does not contain an element? Let's say I have <input> <cars> <car> <make>VW</make> </car> </cars> </input> How can I use Javascript to safely determine if the car has a <color> element?

Populated PDF form in Preview shows as blank when viewing

I have a pdf template form that I have filled in.
I did this in Preview and used 'save as' to create my copy.
However, the thumbnail preview of the pdf shows as blank, and if i send it windows users or preview it in gmail, it also shows as blank.
To start with I thought that I had accidentally saved the wrong version, but no, I can double click the pdf in Finder, and it opens in Preview with all the data present, exactly as I had saved it.

What I have noticed is that if I send the pdf to another mac user, they can see all the info fine. If I send the output from Preview in gmail, and someone downloads it, they can only view the information if they click on the "highlight fields" button, but then it still doesn't look quite right, with loads of expander "+"s all over the form.
When I tried opening the form in adobe reader from the link you provided, I get a different view again. I can examine each field and view the individual data items, but it is not possible to 'show all fields'

Image previews do not appear when viewing RSS feed in Mail, why not?

When I view the Cult of Mac RSS feeds on my old white Macbook I get the image previews displayed right away in Mail but on my 2010 MBP there is just a question mark where the image should be. Any idea how I can get the images to appear on my MBP?
When I click to 'read more' and the page opens fully in Safari the images are viewable.
cheers

Sure Thing...This is a screenshot of the Slider Menu with the buttons to the social media as they should be. Note: this is a screen shot taken from a "preview in browser" (Chrome) through Muse. When it builds and uploads, I no longer see the buttons and there is no hover state as there should be. Hope this helps-

Embedded swf plays in preview mode but not when loaded onto site

http://delormdesigns.com/Oxen2008/2008Fair.html
I have created a swf by first creating an flv from an avi then publishing the swf in flash. I inserted into an html page and can see the video on preview. However, when I load the page and all of the assets onto the site, I get nothing.
I tried to view the swf directly, and it does not play. This may be an issue with how I converted the avi file or how I published the swf. I am starting in this forum just in case.
Thanks!

Yes, I did exactly what you recommended. I swapped the swf with another, loaded the page, and tested it. It worked perfectly. So, even though the original swf worked fine during the preview test, there must be something about the file that does not work when loaded on the site.
I found an article about creating and inserting a flv file from an avi...that will get me 1/2 way there so I will be trying that. Perhaps there was a step in the avi to flv process that needs fixing...and then the swf creation would work.
I appreciate your responses!

BI Publisher Report Layout Get Distorted when viewed in different format

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue while running BI Publisher Report.
The Report Layout work fine in one output format (PDF).
But when the same report is generated in different format it get distorted (HTML,EXCEL).
Could any one please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Is there any SR raised for this issue.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
I have faced a similar issue, Finally i created a different template for each output type, and tweaked each template through trial and error till the output it provided was what i was looking for in the specified output format, I had a different template for PDF and a different one for HTML. If I used the html optimised template for PDF out, there were all sorts of alignment issues, etc.and vice versa. As for the date format, you can set the parmeter correctly using the word date format properties.

JPEG color shifts occur when viewed in different programs

Hi All,
I'm having difficulty exporting JPEG documents that display consistently between programs. Windows image viewer and Microsoft Office shift colors drastically when my exported images are viewed within them.
What's going on here? I'm exporting as a maximum quality JPEG and have tried a number of color profile settings when saving the documents. Embedded Color Profile, Convert to sRGB, etc.

If the image has been converted to sRGB and saved with the profile embedded but is displayed inconsistently then I suppose there might be a problem with the screen profile but otherwise the problem would lie with the other applications’ missing or imprudent Color Management (policies).

RE: code falls apart when add this to idl: string getClient1Name();

I have a counter object that has at most two clients connected to it.
I do not want the same two clients in the regClients String[]. Since restriction is that we only want two registered clients we can just check position one of array. Note array starts from position 0.
When I add function getClient1Name(), results in error
All other code works.
module Cbackcom
interface Cback
{ void callback(in long par);
interface Counter
{ void regist(in Cback objRef, in string client);

class CounterServant extends _CounterImplBase
{ private int actclient;

{ number = 0;
 actclient = 0;
 clients = new Cback[2];
 regclients= new String[2];
 System.out.println("SERVER SIDE");
 System.out.println("counter servant started");
///return the current number of clients
public int getClientNo()
 return actclient;
public String getClient1Name() {
 String returnString = ""; //null string
 if (regclients[0] !=null)
 returnString = regclients[0];
 return returnString;
here is the client class:

Why does my page fall apart when I zoom out in google?

I have text over boxes and the whole page goes askew in google unless I view it at 100% zoom. What gives? Any ideas how to fix this? I tried locking all objects on the page to no avail...

The problem is caused by very small rounding differences between Muse and Chrome that result in off-by-a-pixel measurements (only in Chrome), which in turn causes things to jump to where they next fit in the flow.
We've revised our calculations to avoid this in the next major release of Muse, which is due out in the next couple weeks. Until then, I don't have a workaround for you.
It would be helpful if you could send us your .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread so I can verify our changes do in fact address this for your file. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, SendThisFile or WeTransfer. Thanks.

Smartforms - problems with output preview when vedor has different languag

Hi all,
The output preview does not work when vendor has different communication language then english?
Exact description of the problem described by the functional people:
"For the Latin America countries that use the SMARTFORM today, we have noticed that if the vendor has communication language English, the PO is displayed fine in the Output preview in iShop. However, if the vendor has communication language e.g. ES maintained in the vendor the output preview fails. We would like to have it so that even if the the vendor has a different communication language than EN maintained on the vendor the PO should be able to be displayed in the output preview of the SRM system."
So has enyone encountered this problem before? All help is appriciated!
Thanks in advance!
/Armin

Well the problem was that the language pack with Sapnish language was not installed.
Thanks for the answer 2p 2u!

Pixelated images when in preview mode on iMovie, but when I pause it the images become clear. How do I fix this?

I just bought the latest version of iMovie and I am on 10.9.4. I transferred my slideshow from the old iMovie to the new one and almost all the pictures become pixelated when in preview mode. Yet when I pause it, the picture becomes clear. What do I do? It's driving me insane!

After more attemps at cropping Im noticing that the saved version is unzoomed, so if I move the zoom bar just a tad the image becomes instantly sharp. But sadly that doesnt help me because iphoto will only let me save it and post it online as the unsharp pixulated version. Can anyone please help me!

Why does text show differently (vertical alignment) when viewed on a PC than on a Mac?

The text shows misaligned (different) when viewed on different platforms (Mac or PC)
The Menu section on this website ~> Menu
Is there a way around this or a fix it. I was trying to look at the code in Dreamweaver and I did see some weird (>Span<) tags, I'm wondering if it might have to do with it.
The goal is to align the right side (prices) perfectly. I even had to do the 'tracking' individually to every line. It does work, depending on what platform I'm working on, if I work and publish from a Mac, it would look fine no matter what browser I use, but when viewed on a PC the text gets misaligned. The same happens if I work and publish from a PC, it would show misaligned on a Mac.
Hope there is a reasonable explanation for this.
- Thank you,
Ricardo

The primary cause of the misalignment is the fact the text is using a "Web Safe" font. A "web safe" font is not a single font. Rather it's a list/stack of fonts for the site visitor's browser to try until it finds one that's available the visitor's computer. That means on one computer the text is in one font (i.e. Arial) and on another computer it's another (i.e. Helvetica) with the subsequent fallout caused by the varying character widths between the two fonts. The best way to reduce this variation between site viewers is to use a Web Font (either an Edge Web Font or a Self-Hosted Web Font).
The alignment still won't be entirely consistent across browsers (or even versions of browsers), because each browser has it's own text layout engine and the engines do sometime change, but the variation will be radically reduced.

Displaying Output in PREVIEW Mode, not through Concurrent program View O/p

Hello All,
I am very new to the XML Publisher. In my very first report, i am facing some problem. i.e
I have built the template and loaded the sample XML File into it, able to see the output in PREVIEW Mode.
But, when i register this to a Template and Data Definition, i am not able to see the output values, instead i could able to get only the Hard coded values in the Template.
EX: In, ' BILL TO: ' and <?bill_to?>
i am getting only this hard code value of 'BILL TO:' but not the value of Bill to.
Please help me in figuring out the problem.
Thanks inadvance,
Aush...

Can you please confirm which method you are using?
Data Template
Oracle Report for getting data?

Is it possible and how to create bright preview mode for a custom Proof Setup

You know how there is Proof Setup preview modes under the View menu. Can I create a custom preview mode so that when I choose it and press Ctrl + y it shows the image very bright without changing it.
I need this because I want to see and edit more details in the dark areas which I may not be seeing on my monitor or room lighting conditions and thus to create images with more rich and dynamic shading in the darks so when viewed on brighter monitors or when levels are eventually changed the darks reveal nice shading instead of flat black.
I'm looking for per image solution that doesn't affect other images or applications like using global gamma.
I'll greatly appreciate your help

That's what I use Adjustment layers but they are a big pain because the color picker can't disregard them. So every time I want ot use the color picker I have to hide the adjustment layer and then when I paint I have to enable it again. I want a color picker that picks from all but not the adjustment layer. This makes this workflow impossible. I need this for painting artworks from scratch.
There are no two equal monitors out there and some are quite off, so I want to create artworks that look as good as possible on all kinds of monitor including miscalabrated ones.These are samples to sell artwork. Not only that but the artwork often is edited from other designers not by brush repainting but using global adjustments like levels. And I don't want to use 32 bit workflows. What I'm asking will serve the purpose perfectly.
I feel that since PS pulls the preview information from profiles that probably reside in files somewhere, I can modify a copy of a profile and I was hoping if someone here knows more details about this and helps.
Thanks anyway
