Problem Converting 16:9 to 4:3 Center Cut

Beginnng with: HDV 1440x1080 in FCP
Goal: Export NTSC 4:3 Center Cut (i.e. Edge Cropped)
Problem: Just cannot seem to get the settings right to take this HD sequence and output to a 4:3 movie (edge cropped, not squished, not letterboxed). Quality of the output is really important, so dropping our sequence into a DV sequence and re-sizing isn't a good option.
Help?

If you don't mind using Compressor, this shouldn't be a problem.
In the Geometry Pane of Compressor 2 or later, input the necessary crop values. Provided you chose the DV-NTSC setting (via Advanced Format Conversions), that means you'll need to input 180 for Left and Right. If you have Compressor 3.0.1 or later, there is even a preset in the *Crop To:* box for this (1.33:1) that should plug-in the numbers automatically.
I'd recommend Compressor because you'll need a healthy does of Frame Controls - for Resizing and Deinterlacing - in order to get reasonable quality. Or are you one of those unlucky souls that can't get Compressor to work?

Problems converting a pdf file to a word document using ExportPDF

Hi prates77,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble converting files. Are you receiving the conversion error regardless of the file that you try to convert? Does the error occur whether you use the web interface, or convert via Reader? And an odd question: how many files do you have stored in your Acrobat.com account? We have seen reports of this error when there are a large number of files stored in the root folder of your Acrobat.com account.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Problem converting Excel Charts

I am using Acrobat 9.3.4 (pro extended) and MS Office 2007 service pack 2. I am having problems converting the charts in Excel. The charts in Excel are vector, but when I print to the Acrobat driver or save in Acrobat, the graphs are converted to a low quality bitmap. Any ideas how I can preserve the quality of the original graph? Any idea how I can preserve the vector drawings?

I suspect the upgrade to Excel 2007 is at fault here, but I have not found any settings to get my old functionality back. I posted the same question to an Excel board, and they referred me to a similar thread, which sounds like other people are having similar problems.
It looks like some older version of Excel was having trouble when people used "save as pdf" (Excel was resizing the graphic and moving it off the page.) To eliminate the problem, they seem to have changed their graphics creation engine from vector to bitmap.
I have an older version of Excel (2003 sp3) at home, and the pie charts, for example, are clearly being created as vector drawings. In Excel 2007, they appear to be bitmaps created at screen resolution, which in my case is a fuzzy mess because of the need to resize the drawings. On the Excel board, there is a link to a "hotfix" but I don't know if it is the same issue. I will post the link here if it works.
I tried beating my head against the keyboard, but it has not helped.

Problem converting graphics to hyperlinks in pdf's

I'm having a problem converting grapics, words or phrases to hyperlinks in exported pdf's. The only thing that converts is a complete URL even though the test for source and destination work perfectly.

In Indesign if you want to generate a PDF you "export". You have two options: Print or Interactive. If you use Interactive it will include hyperlinks by default. If you choose Print you need to check it:

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Problem converting word 2010 Document

I am having a problem converting a Word 2010 document using Live
Cycle Designer ES2. I get the following
error msg:
Word (version XP onwards) could not be found
Word 2010 is installed.

I have just run into this issue myself. At first I thought it might be that LiveCycle is not yet fully compatible with Office 2010 but after doing some googling it seems there are plenty of folks out there successfully converting Word 2010 documents to PDF.
As a temporary workaround, you could try a copy of an earlier version of Word should one be available to you.
If I'm able to find a solution to the issue, I'll let you know promptly.

Problem converting to mpeg4

I'm having a problem converting my music videos to mpeg4...they are in MOV format so I am able to put them into itunes, and everytime I try to "convert selection to ipod" it converts it very fast but when I try playing the video it just shows a white screen and doesn't play at all (on itunes or the ipod). Anyone know why this is happening!??

I also have this problem, but it appears that the problem is in the QuickLook implementation of Quicktime.
If I actually open the MPEG4 with QT or VLC it plays back at the right speed. Just upload it to YouTube and it should be fine.
Hope this works for you =)

Problem Converting AVI (DV) to MOV (DV)

I have a number of AVI (DV) files that were previously imported on my PC, which I want to covert (using my Mac) to the more Mac friendly MOV (DV) file format.
I read that the best way to achieve this is to open the AVI files in Quicktime Pro and to convert the files to MOV using “SAVE AS”, as opposed to “EXPORT”. I understand that the benefit of using “SAVE AS” is that there is no recompression of the DV stream and that only the Container is changed (which results in a lossless conversion).
The problem is that the new MOV (DV) file is significantly larger than the original AVI (DV) file. For example, the size of a 13.5 minute clip increases from 2.95 GB to 5.88 GB.
I wouldn't expect such a significant change in file size if only the Container is indeed being changed.
I have also tried MPEG Streamclip to do the conversion, but I get the following message when I try to open the AVI (DV) file “File open error: this movie file is not supported”.
I have confirmed using Gspot that the AVI (DV) file is a 'Type 1' as opposed to a 'Type 2' file. Gspot also indicates the following information about the file “Multipart OpenDML AVL (3 parts). I don’t know if this is relevant.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE PROBLEM SOLVED:
I was able to fix this problem by following a reply that I received on forum.videohelp.com. Basically, I was able to fix the problem by using a program called DVdate to convert my AVI (DV) files from Type 1 to Type 2. Now all is well. Here is the link below to the answer.

PROBLEM CONVERTING MSWORD & MSPROJECT TO PDF!

Hi,
I'm running Vista, Office 2007 (inc. MSProject) and have Acrobat 8 Professional.
I'm having all sorts of problems converting. I don't know whether its someting to do with the pathing, since I first installed on D drive, rather than C. I just copied the entire Adobe folder from D to C.
The program allows me to convert URLs to PDF. But every time I try to convert a Word Doc, or MS Project Document, even small ones, I keep getting error messages, or it just freezes on 10%... Or says it can't do it... I'm getting so frustrated...
And yes I've run the repair, rebooted, but still have same probs...
Can someone please suggest something!

Do you have the Adobe PDF printer listed in the printers. If so, then print to the Adobe PDF printer (don't use print to file, the printer is set to ask for a file name or create one on the fly).
If you do not have the printer, then that is your problem. The Create PDF button will not work without the printer.
AcroTray is necessary for the printer to complete the process of conversion to a PDF automatically. If it is not active, then you have to print to file and then open the prn file in Distiller to create the PDF. From you statement about the missing PDF files, it likely is that you do not have PDF Maker installed correctly. Try the printer and if that works, then you have a PDF Maker issue.

Unicode problem: Converting operations on type X operands

I've got a problem converting a function module to unicode functionality: the original coding performs MOVE and SHIFT operations on operands of type X. The extended syntax check after unicode flag is set fails as X or XSTRING are not considered character-like anymore, of course, as these operations wouldn't delivery a stable result due to the variable lengths in UTF-8. Simply using type C, String or any other character-like operand type instead wouldn't help either, of course, because all bytestream information would be lost. Does anyone have recommandation on how I can solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Andy
Here's an example for the original coding (importhash = import parameter):
DATA: OP1(10) TYPE X,
SLEN TYPE I.
DATA: OP2(12) TYPE X,
DATA: T_OP2 TYPE SOMEINTEGER WITH HEADER LINE,
T_OP1 TYPE SOMEINTEGER WITH HEADER LINE,
OP1 = SOMECHARACTER.
SLEN = STRLEN( OP1 ) / 2.
MOVE SLEN TO THE_OP1.
APPEND THE_OP1.
DO SLEN TIMES.
MOVE OP1+0(1) TO T_OP1.
APPEND T_OP1.
SHIFT OP1.
ENDDO.
MOVE IMPORTHASH+0(2) TO SLEN.
MOVE SLEN TO T_OP2.
APPEND T_OP2.
OP2 = IMPORTHASH.
SHIFT OP2.
DO SLEN TIMES.
MOVE OP2+0(1) TO T_OP2.
APPEND T_OP2.
SHIFT OP2.
ENDDO.

Hi,
Especially for Unicodes, it is recommended to separate the Data declarations into a separate Type pool.
DATA: OP1(10) TYPE X,
SLEN TYPE I.
DATA: OP2(12) TYPE X,
Mark the type pool as unicode active. Then, use this type pool in your program.
The class variables in CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES may also help you.
Cheers,
Bhanu

Problems converting / importing PSE9 catalog into LR4

Im having problems converting / importing my PSE 9 photos into LR4. I went through the "File / Upgrade PS..." without success. It seems to work...ie LR4 closes down and then creates a new catalog but then a box appears saying that the photos could not be imported because they are missing or damaged. I then thought that my PSE 9 catalog is not set up right BUT LR4 tell me that the 27023 photos could not be imported for the reason stated. In other words LR does see the PSE catalog because it give the correct amount of photo's. I then did a small test by dragging some photos from my PSE 9 into LR4 and that seems to work. All the keyword tags move across. Is there a problem or dont I understand the process?

If I remember properly, it will not be an onerous task. What Exiftool will do is transfer the notes to some other metadata field that LR uses ... and I believe it can be done as a batch job, thus one execution of Exiftool does this for your entire photo collection (assuming its all under one parent folder).
Here is the method (see post #12 in this thread): http://forums.adobe.com/message/2148552#2148552

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9

Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed. Thanks in advance.

First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.
