Question about book printing size

Hello,
I am working on a book design. But I haven't decided on the book size yet. For now, there are two sizes that I may choose from. So I need to ask some one's opinion who has knowledge about offset printing.
One size is 295 x 250 mm Portrait size. This is a little bigger than the other.
The smaller size is 230 x 260 mm Landscape size.
We use ISO A-0 printing sheets.
The book will be about anywhere from 250 to 300 pages.
My main question is, will there be any price differences on these two sizes?
Some people say that anything a little bigger than A4 size is automatically calculated for A3 size, which is the double A4. These two sizes both are a little bigger than A4 and fits within A3 size.
If there is enough difference, I want to go for the smaller size. If I can set my mind on one size, it will save me a lot of work and confusion.
Thanks.

I would think the size would be dependent on a few issues: genre, type of content, and the publisher to name a few. You could minimize costs going with the smaller size obviously, but I, for one, cannot make a recommendation without getting more specific on the details. Have you discussed the size with the publisher?

Question about Domain file size...

I have a dot Mac account, and my iDisk capacity is 1 Gb.
As I regularly back-up my Domain file from my G5 iMac to a FW external drive that sits on my desk, I have just noticed that the file size is now just over 1 Gb.
Can someone please explain to me why I still have almost 700Mb left on my iDisk, yet my Domain file size is over 1 Gb?? Obviously, there must be 'internal' files that aren't copied to the iDisk.
Thanks,
Rachel.

Wow, that's quite a discrepancy. 1gb Domain vs. 300mb site? Well suffice it to say that the Domain file contains all the information that is needed to generate your site. But it makes me curious too why you have such a large discrepancy. Do you have a lot of video on your site?
My site is only about 50-60mb and my Domain is roughly the same size. When I first started using iWeb, I used to poke around inside the Domain file quite a bit more than I do now. You can open up your Domain file by Control-clicking it and selecting "Show Package Contents." At one point early on when I was blithely dragging and dropping stuff into iWeb and publishing just for experimentation, I noticed that even after I deleted images or EVEN WHOLE PAGES, that sometimes the Domain file would still contain images and quicktime movies left over from the deleted pages. I didn't know what was going on and actually tried to delete the "old" items from the Domain file, but I ended up with a non-functional Domain file...lots of error messages saying it was missing this and that. So I started over completely with a new Domain file. I also noticed at the time that my Domain file was several megabytes larger than my site.
Since then, I have been very careful only to drag items to iWeb that will actually be used. The Domain-to-site size ratio has stayed pretty much 1:1. So I chalked up my earlier experience as a fluke. I don't know. Maybe there is an inconsistency somewhere. In fact, do a search here on "Domain file optimizing" or "Domain file bloat" and you may be able to find my questions about the issue. I never did get any responses, though.

Question about Offset printing from Indesign

Hello everyone, I have a question about printing too a DPX rip platemaker from Indesign. When I print my file to the rip, it seems to bold the text when it should not be bold, I do not know if this is an Indesign or rip error, but if anyone has a solution I would be grateful for any assistance.
I dont know if it's necessary, but the OS with Indesign is Mac OSX, printing to a ripmate on Windows 2000.

Have you applied an outline to the text?
Try unoutlined text
Is the text near an effect like drop shadow or other filter?
Move the text to top layer or above any effects.
Is it just this file or any file?
Need to figure out if it's just this job or all of them or at least let us know.
Have you got the fonts installed at the RIP end, perhaps it's rasterising text that the RIP has not got the font?
You could try exporting to PDF first, that would embed the fonts in the PDF.
Let us know if any of this helps?

Question about Ipod/Printer Rebate

for anyone who used the student/teacher rebates on the ipod and printer, or anyone who purchased a macbook for that matter, do you guys remember a sales receipt that came with your macbook? how about the printer?
i am preparing to mail in my rebates and i need to include all the copies of the sales receipt. i do have the sales receipt for both the ipod and the printer which it came inside the shipping package, but i do not recall seeing one when the macbook/printer came. can someone verify this?
thanks!

Did you pay with a credit card? Do you remember giving them a email address?
Because when I bought my macbook, I got a hard copy, and provided them with an email address, & they emailed me a copy of the receipt for the macbook.
I would suggest checking your email to see if they did email you a copy.
Or you could just go back to the apple store, the original purchase was made in.
Mark this as helpful or solved plz

Question about WAD print version configuration

Hi gurus,
We are having a problem with the WAD print version. We have created two WAD templates, one of them is for be viewed at the portal and the other one for the export to PDF.
Our template has several tables(data providers) in a horizontal line. The template for the export is exactly like this original template, but despite this, when we press the "print version" button in the portal, the PDF appears desconfigure and shows the data providers one under the other, in a vertical line.
We have tried to change the size of the data providers but we are not getting the expected result.
Could anyone give me some idea of how to proceed correctly for this situation?
Thank you in advanced.
Manuel.

Ok Mike, thank you very much! I was already guessing it would really not work in Firefox, and we would have to look for alternative solutions.
We followed your advice and we are now trying to use a Firefox plugin named IE Tab, and it looks like its going to solve our problem.
Thanks a lot for your attention.
Sincerely,
Carlos Eduardo Lacombe

Question about drop shadow size

Hi All!
I have created a style that only contains a custom drop shadow. I frequently apply this style to illustrations that I'm creating for a book.
However, since updating to CC 2014, I've been having a problem with the style. The size of the drop shadows is different on every illustration I apply it to. I originally set the style up to have a 7 px size, but now, when applied, sometimes the size is 22 px, sometimes 30 px, sometimes 5 px.
Can anyone tell me what is going on and how I can get the drop shadow size to remain constant each time I apply it?
Thanks in advance!

I believe if you create a layer style preset the Adobe store the resolution of the document that you were editing when you created the preset into the preset so Photoshop can scale the style effect to the resolution of the document you apply the layer style preset to.
Layer style setting as you know are in terms of absolute pixel. That would mean the size of the shadow would vary on document that had different resolutions, Notice in menu layers there is Layers>Layer Style>Scale Effects... and In the Image Size dialog(s) there is a check box Scale Styles or a setting Scale Styles..
If it working differently in CC version 15 then is was in CC version 14 they may be a new bug.
If you want a 7px drop shadow no matter what the documents resolution is you may be able to record an action that add a 7 PX drop shadow using the Layer Style dialog not using a preset style.
I created a Drop Shadow Preset on a 300 DPI Document distance 2 px size 7px. I then recorded an action the applied that preset and then applied the same settings using the layer style dialog instead of the preset. There is a great difference on how the two steps were recorded.
When I step through the action on a 300 DPI document the drop shadows looks the same. On a 72DPI document the Preset drop shadow looks small like the 300dpi document however the step that was recorded with the Layer Style Dialog the layer drop shadow looks much larger for it was not scaled down to match the documents 72DPI resolution.
So it look like if you use a Layer style preset from the style palette the effect will be scaled for the documents DPI resolution. Notice in the action there is a Layer Style Scale 100% in the step recorded using the layer style dialog. Where the preset DS is applied some how by Photoshop and Photoshop scales the effect....

Question about windows printer canon bj5200 can't print or see in Leopard

Hello;
this has been a problem for me in Tiger as well, I have a windows workgroup network and have a canon bj5200 share on a windows xp machine, I've done some research and can't seem to find the solution on how print from Leopard (previous Tiger) to the shared printer. I choose + to add the printer and then windows it shows my network name but nothing after that. Solutions anyone?

You will either need to enable the Guest account on the Windows computer or create an SMB queue using the account details for the XP PC. In Tiger this was done using the Advanced setting which was available after holding the Option key while pressing More Printers. Not sure if the same process exists for Leopard - will have to check on the MacPro at work or someone with Leopard at home can confirm.
Also, you probably won't be able to use the Canon provided driver as they are usually written to work only with a direct USB connection from the Mac. So you have to find a compatible GIMP-Print (know Gutenprint) driver for the 5200. However the Canon BJ5200 is not listed as a supported device under Gutenprint v5.1.3 nor PrintFab. Are you sure of the model? There is a iP5200...

Question about Aperture library size

I am storing my photos on a secondary drive. However, my Aperture library is just as large as the original source folder even though I am not copying the images into the library.
Shouldn't the library be smaller since it only references the images from another location?

If you changed the size and quality of your preview settings, it's not enough to just "Update Previews". You will have to DELETE the old previews and generate new ones.
(That's what my findings where)
To my understanding, previews are used
- if you use the Aperture "Quick Previews" functionality
- for synching with your e.g. iPhone
- in the Media browser dialog of e.g. iWork applications
(am I correct and complete?)
In my first days of Aperture 2 I increased the size to unlimited and the quality to 12, since "of course" I wanted to see the best possible quality of my pictures.
Now I learned that previews are not used in normal Aperture workflows, so I reduced the size to the lowest possible value of 1280 and the quality to 12.
This way I reduced the size of my library (30k JPEG photos, all referenced) from 108 GB to 33 GB.

Question about modifying the size of an existing column in a table

I am a new DBA. I am being asked to modify a column in an existing table that is populated with data. Our database is a 10g database, and the table name is Contacts. The column name is FName, and it is currently VARCHAR(10). It needs to be increased to VARCHAR(18). Would I use this statement: ALTER TABLE contacts MODIFY COLUMN FName VARCHAR(18)?
I thank everyone who helps me with this question in advance.

Hello,
This is how you do it
ALTER TABLE A_ERROR_TABLE MODIFY(TEST VARCHAR2(18)); -- Example
ALTER TABLE contacts MODIFY ( FName VARCHAR2(18));Regards

Hi! Question about setting default size when opening existing PDF's.

The pdf documents i download all seem to open up at 202% size. Is there a way to set my default size (for opening and reading documents) to something smaller, so I don't have to always use the magnifying tool to shrink them? Thanks!

Under Preferences | Page Display, set Zoom to 100% or whatever you would like to open it with.

Question about book chapter

Hi,
I know this is probably a long shot but here is the scenario:
I design book interiors and each chapter opening page has a specific master page applied to it, the trouble is when a page shifts the master page doesn't follow which means I have to go through the entire book (if the change was at the beginning) and re-apply the master page.
Does anyone know of any way I could streamline this process, possibly by being able to "link" a master page to a specific text frame?
Any help/advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated...again I know this is a long shot.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

This is not normal behavior. Let me ramble this through my head.
If you have a threaded story, editting copy can cause content to change position away from an applied master. (It is permissable and desireable to have one threaded story for an entire document) There is no Section Break character, add that to wish list.
Yep, I've chased that dog.
Break the Chapters into a Book file.

Question about using mixed size disk groups with ASM

I support a 10g RAC cluster running 10.2.0.3 and using ASM. We currently have a data disk group that is 600 Gb in size, made up of 3 individual 200 Gb raw disk devices. The RAC cluster is running on an IBM pSeries server using AIX 5.3
I need to add more space, but the system adminstrator can only give me 100 Gb in the new raw device. What will be the impact, if any, of adding this smaller raw disk device into the same ASM data disk group? I understand that ASM tries to "balance" the overall usage of each raw device. Will ASM still work okay, or will it be constantly trying to rebalance the disk group because the one raw device is only half the size of the other three? Any help and advice given will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

There will be no impact and ASM will automatically balance the things.

I have a question about my printer.

Does photoshop printer setting's have any effect on how my printer works outside of photoshop? The reason I ask, my printer will no longer print from the internet. Thanks M

You would probably be best off to post this on a Photoshop forum.
However, all printing settings for Photoshop are local to Photoshop. Changes that you may make to the printer properties within Photoshop should not be seen by any other applications unless there is a severe bug in the printer driver for the particular printer.
What type of printer are you having this issue with? And what do you mean by your remark that your “printer will no longer print from the internet?”

[Programmer Certification] Question about books

Hi there,
is this book helpful for the 1Z0-141 exam ?
Title: OCP Developer PL/SQL Program Units Exam Guide
ISBN: 0072193360
This book is said to prepare for exam 1Z0-101. Is it still good for the 1Z0-141 exam ?
I really like these exam preparation books but could not find any for the 1Z0-141
Any advice is welcome.
Francois.

The ones most recommended in the forum (my impression) are:
LabVIEW for Everyone
And for the more advanced
The LabVIEW Style Book
I have both, and would say they are worth the money. But certainly your knownledge of LabVIEW will make one of these your favorite (for Everyone came to late in my career, but newcomers won't get the ideas of the Style Book).
Over all, there is only a limited choice of books on LabVIEW. There was a funny statistc that placed LV among the most exotic insignificant languages by using the number of books available...
