Problems using Acrobat 9 with InDesign CS2

We have just upgraded from Acrobat 7 to version 9 but are still using CS2 for everything else(don't ask!!!). However, when we use the Adobe pdf presets, they still seem to be using the version 7 job options. I've tried to load up the new job options (from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings) but it says 'cannot import presets from this file'.
IT are not being very helpful with this, so I need help please! Microsoft office seems to be using version 9, and I can make a postscript file using version 9 in the print window of InDesign, but for some reason I can't get the programme to recognise the new presets.
Thanks v much

David,
When you print to PDF (or Distill in two steps), your transparency gets flattened BEFORE the PDF is made, so the transparency is not really there, just the "appearance" of the transparency. Exporting to PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5) or later keeps the transparency "Live" in the PDF so that flattening can be handled in the RIP, as well as eliminating flattening artifacts (referred to as stitching, which appear as thin white lines along the borders of transparent regions in front of a colored background) during on-screen viewing.
Although Illustrator is not a general purpose PDF editing tool, it can be instructive to do a little demonstration of the difference in the structure of the same file exported and printed to PDF. Start by placing a photograph as a background, then use one of InDesign's shape tools to put a filled shape in front of the photo, and apply a drop shadow to the shape. Export and print using the Press Quality preset (which will keep the transparency live in the export, but the printed PDF will be flattened, despite its PDF 1.4 compatibility).
First, you'll probably see stitching in Acrobat on the printed version, and it may be lighter in appearance overall than the exported version. Now open the two version in Illustrator. Open the layers panel and keep expanding the groups until you are able to isolate the shape and drop shadow elements (in the exported version the shadow will probably be grouped with a clipping mask, while in the printed version the shadow may be in several pieces and has been burned into a copy of the background photo). Try to select the shape and shadow and move them relative to the background.
Mostly, though, I was referring to the fact that you can't use bookmarks, buttons, or other interactive elements in Printed PDF.

Problem Using Multiple With Statements

I'm having a problem using multiple WITH statements. Oracle seems to be expecting a SELECT statement after the first one. I need two in order to reference stuff from the second one in another query.
Here's my code:
<code>
WITH calculate_terms AS (SELECT robinst_current_term_code,
CASE
WHEN robinst_current_term_code LIKE '%60' THEN robinst_current_term_code - '40'
WHEN robinst_current_term_code LIKE '%20' THEN robinst_current_term_code - '100'
END first_term,
CASE
WHEN robinst_current_term_code LIKE '%60' THEN robinst_current_term_code - '100'
WHEN robinst_current_term_code LIKE '%20' THEN robinst_current_term_code - '160'
END second_term
FROM robinst
WHERE robinst_aidy_code = :aidy)
/*Use terms from calculate_terms to generate attendance periods*/
WITH gen_attn_terms AS
SELECT
CASE
WHEN first_term LIKE '%60' THEN 'Fall '||substr(first_term,0,4)
WHEN first_term LIKE '%20' THEN 'Spring '||substr(first_term,0,4)
END first_attn_period,
CASE
WHEN second_term LIKE '%60' THEN 'Fall '||substr(second_term,0,4)
WHEN second_term LIKE '%20' THEN 'Spring '||substr(second_term,0,4)
END second_attn_period
FROM calculate_terms
SELECT *
FROM gen_attn_terms
<code>
I get ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword error. What could be the problem?

You can just separate them with a comma:
WITH calculate_terms AS (SELECT robinst_current_term_code,
CASE
WHEN robinst_current_term_code LIKE '%60' THEN robinst_current_term_code - '40'
WHEN robinst_current_term_code LIKE '%20' THEN robinst_current_term_code - '100'
END first_term,
CASE
WHEN robinst_current_term_code LIKE '%60' THEN robinst_current_term_code - '100'
WHEN robinst_current_term_code LIKE '%20' THEN robinst_current_term_code - '160'
END second_term
FROM robinst
WHERE robinst_aidy_code = :aidy),
/*Use terms from calculate_terms to generate attendance periods*/
gen_attn_terms AS
SELECT
CASE
WHEN first_term LIKE '%60' THEN 'Fall '||substr(first_term,0,4)
WHEN first_term LIKE '%20' THEN 'Spring '||substr(first_term,0,4)
END first_attn_period,
CASE
WHEN second_term LIKE '%60' THEN 'Fall '||substr(second_term,0,4)
WHEN second_term LIKE '%20' THEN 'Spring '||substr(second_term,0,4)
END second_attn_period
FROM calculate_terms
)Not tested because there are no scripts.

Problem using Toplink with JUnit

Where is the problem???

EntityFacade class is very simple and it uses a static EntityManager object. Here the code:
public class EntityFacade {
     private static EntityManager em = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("ElectroManager").createEntityManager();
     private static Logger logger=Logger.getLogger(EntityFacade.class);
     public static void insertCliente(Cliente c)
          logger.debug("Inserisco cliente nel db: " + c);
          em.getTransaction().begin();
          c.setId(getNextIdForTable("Cliente"));
          em.persist(c);
          em.getTransaction().commit();
If I call the method from inside a main it works well, so I think the problem is not the classpath neither the URL in the persistence.xml. However the URL is:
<property name="toplink.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:derby:c:/programmi/ElectroManager/db/electroManager"/>
I use the latest build version of TopLink.
Thanks.

Problems using Acrobat Pro to scan with 10.5.2 and HP7280

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to use Acrobat Pro to create PDF via scan. The scanner I have is an HP Photosmart C7280 all in one. When I try to use it, it starts up HP Scan Pro and gives option is scan to Acrobat. Unfortunately, when I ask it to do so, it crashes Acrobat.
Any ideas on what to do to make this work?
Thanks

BTW: whats with this ÎÎ¹ÎºÎµ stuff.
As for Adobe/HP.
They have had a long running feud of Sorts for years running.
there was a very long period that spanned several versions of Acrobat, and HP Print Driver Updates. where every time adobe issued an update for Acrobat. Hp had to turn around and issue an update to their print Drivers.
The controversy swilled around If a Pdf was printed through acrobat or Reader to an Hp Printer all you would se was a series of very fine line screwed sideways much like looking at a TV screen the Horizontal hold adjustment was out of whack.
I'm sure Aandi , and Mike as well as myself posting thousands of times over the years to use the work around of going to print menu advanced and choosing print as image. And if it cleared the problem, to get on the horn with HP and let them know their driver was broken.
HP would fix it it work for a month and Adobe would do another update, and the same thing would happen.
It would be like the joke about Peat and repeat sat on a fence. If Peat fell off who's left? Pete. Then you would say repeat. And the person telling everything would repeat until you caught on.
You would think that a Software That depending highly on how printers would print would actually have sample of printers from the printer vendors to test on.
I also find it strange you never hear of any other printers having as much problems with adobe products.

How to call javascript using applescript in InDesign cs2 Mac

Hi,
I need to integrate javascript with my apple script??? how to use it???please help me...i need it immediately..........

Hi Andrew,
Here is an example for you – a snippet from my script:

set myBridgeLabel to "Green"
set myLabel to 2
else if name of theObject is "b3" then
set processName to "Started doing that"
set myBridgeLabel to "Yellow"
set myLabel to 3

set processName to "Finished doing this"
set myBridgeLabel to "Blue"
set myLabel to 4

do script myJavaScript language javascript
In this javascript I use pares of single and double quotes.
The main java script – myJavaScript – (inside double quotes) contains another java script – myScript – (inside single quotes) which runs in Bridge via BridgeTalk.
I also put variables from AppleScript into JavaScript by using two pares of double quotes – the outside pare I escape with slashes:
set myBridgeLabel to "Red" -- a variable I defined in AppleScript
set myJavaScript to "var myLabel =\"" & myBridgeLabel & "\"; app.activate();
-- the contents of myBridgeLabel variable now becomes part of the JavaScript

Anybody having trouble with InDesign CS2 documents on a network drive?

I just set up my Airport network at home (Airport Extreme base station, external hard drive plugged into the USB port, iMac G5 plugged into one of the Ethernet ports) and have run into a peculiar problem. When working on my iMac (connected vie ethernet) I open an Adobe InDesign CS2 document from the USB network drive. After a minute or so InDesign tells me something has gone wrong and it is shutting down. I immediately re-launch InDesign and it does its auto-recovery and immediately shuts down again. If I re-launch again and it asks if I want to begin auto recovery it immediately shuts down again. Only by telling it "no" to auto revoery can I break the cycle and let InDesign launch normally. However, if I then go to the file I was working on and attempt to open it, InDesign shuts down. I know that InDesign creates a temporary Lock file when you open a document. My guess is that somehow the lock file is getting corrupted and preventing InDesign from opening this file. InDesign documents are the only file types thus affected, Illustrator and Photoshop are fine. I have a second hard drive connected via Firewire and have never had any problems with files from it. My question is, what would be causing the problem on my network drive connectd to the base station? Am I the only one out there with this problem?

It may help to change 'banners' to 'alerts' on Viber's Push Notification settings as a temporary workaround.
Thank you for your patience!

Problem using ipod with itunes 5.0.1

Could anyone help me?? I'm having serious problems using my ipod mini with my "just downloaded" itunes 5.0.1.
it says that my comunication software with ipod is not correctly installed and that i have to reinstall itunes again. i did it the problem is always there. what can i do?? can someone help me??

Man, it seems that iTunes 5.whatever has gotten us all a little hot under the collar. I'm back up and running...this is what I did...I hope it helps some of you out.
1) created a new folder in MyMusic and copied everything from my iTunes library to the new folder. I then tested a few songs to make sure they still played (you never know)
2) I deleted iTunes using the control panel selection Add/Delete programs. I emptied the recycle gin and then did a search to see that iTunes was no longer there.
3) I went to filehippo.com to download iTunes 4.8 (my original disks are packed (Thank you to poster Allison for the filehippo.com suggestion).
4) I copied all my songs back into iTunes from where I had stored them in the new folder I created in MyMusic)
5) I connected the iPod Mini and opened iTunes and darn if it STILL didn't recognize the iPod
6) I did a restore on the iPod
7) I reconnected the iPod and had to reregister it and Voila! it worked again!!!!
Whatever the new features were in ver. 5.01, they were NOT worth the hassle I've experienced over the past two weeks. I'll stick with version 4.8 for awhile.

Problem using SmartCard with 2 Certificates stored and SunPKCS11

Hi,
I'm trying to access one SmartCard token in Java 1.5 using SunPKCS11 provider for crypt, decrypt and digital signature operations.
I have 2 certificates stored on Token:
- CertA;
- CertB.
There are also 2 PIN:

- PIN2.
I use:
- PIN1 for logging into the token;
- PIN1 for operation involving CertA;
- PIN2 for operation involving CertB;
There is no problem to logging into the token using Java and, without any troubles, I can read certificates and key from the
cryptographic card.
There is no problem using CertA for all my operation, but every attempt of using Private Key of CertB (for the same operations) returns with an Exception:

Using Acrobat with Adobe Drive

I am exploring using Acrobat professional with Adobe Drive 2.1. I have not seen an explict statement that Acrobat can use Adobe drive.
Here are my questions:
1. Can Acrobat 9 or 10 interact with Adobe Drive 2.1?
2. Are there any Acrobat limitations to using the exposed Adobe Drive 2.1 CMIS functionality?
Thanks
Tom

FatMac>MacPro is correct about using Preview to read PDF's. It is built in, reliable and kept up to date by Apple software updates.
Adobe Reader has had vulnerabilities that can cause your Mac to be attacked via malicious PDF's. Keeping Reader up to date is essential for good security, however Adobe updaters nag so much that it is simpler to avoid installing it if at all possible.
PC users recommend it because they had no PDF support for so long, OS X has always had PDF support from Apple.
