Seeking Advice on Adobe Training Partners

I had this posted somewhere else, but was told this would be a better place for it......
I'm fairly new to using the Technical Communications Suite and am considering taking some classes for FrameMaker 8 and RoboHelp 7. The companies that I'm considering are: Lodestone Digital and Sterling Ledet & Assocaies.
I've tried some of the online tutorials, but they're not helping as much as I'd like.
I'm hoping that at least a few of you may have knowledge of either and/or both of these companies and wouldn't mind sharing your opinion. If there's a better company please let me know (however I'm in Virginia and would prefer not to travel too far.)
Thanks for any and all help.

Belynda,
Both are very good sources for training. There are quite a number of
others and some do offer on-line training sessions with an instructor
(rather than just self-paced tutorials,) which could make your travel
budget available for more courses instead.
For example,
http://www.microtype.com/training.html
http://www.iconlogic.com/FrameMaker8VirtualClass.html
http://www.scriptorium.com/training/options.html or
http://www.scriptorium.com/training/schedule.html
There's also the option of having the instructors come to your site
for customized training, which might be more focused and effective. In
this case, additional options would include companies such as
Front-Runner Training, Publishing Smarter, KnowHow Pro, and Grafix
Training.

Are there any Adobe's partners provide licensing and support for Adobe Content Server in Germany?

Hello,
My name is Quang from Vietnam . My company is interested about Content Server and I am looking for Adobe's partners that provide licensing Content Server (like Datalogics) in Germany. I have some friends there and I hope they can help. If you know any companies, please tell me.
Thank you

I would say that it was very funny to stay on Amsterdam, but i really can't remember so much of these days, jeje

What's new in these days?Seeking to persuade, Adobe still insist FP Development. Waiting for answer

Seeking to persuade, Adobe still insist FP Development. Waiting for answer on line.
I am an AS3 developer, deeply in love with it. Recently I was very disappointed with Adobe.
Fp11.8 seems update frequenctly, but nearly no change. New feathers is all the same every time, why? Unity 3d and Fusion Chart has said goodbay to Flash Player, Weather Adobe is also?

Not sure exactky what's your point, but FP has been gaining some pretty nice features. The GameInput API, for example, is awesome despite a couple of remaining bugs, and a few cool GPU-acceleration features and updates have been creeping in FP too. I'd assume the frequent updates are more due to stability, while point releases are the ones where you see new features. You may want to double-check the changelog to see what has been changed on every version.
Unity has said goodbye to Flash because it solved a problem that was virtually nonexistant, and Fusion Charts would do better with a more cross-platform solution (e.g. Canvas/SVG) considering their target audience. I don't think either have anything to do with Flash technology per se.

Seeking advice: moving universe between systems

Hi all,
I've been spending some time trying to work through the Business Objects documentation to try and understand what's involved in migrating a Universe from a non-SQL Server based system to a SQL Server based system.
I'm seeking advice not having used Business Objects as I am attempting to estimate the work involved for a customer who currently uses BO. I don't know whether it's just a simple exercise of changing the database connection, or whether more work is involved. I've tried to get this information through SAP formally, but not currently being a BO customer they've refused to answer any questions.
During the course of the migration of the underlying data tables, some columns in some tables have changed their data-type (e.g., from smalldatetime to datetime, or changes in length/precision). I'm also not sure if the tables have changed name: in the old system, they are named in a SQL type manner (i.e. <prefix>.<tablename>) however in SQL Server the objects will be placed in a database named <prefix> with each table being named <tablename>.
Would this potentially require a full drop of every object in the Universe, or could this exercise be achieved without having to remove and re-add any objects by saying "this object in the Universe is now this object in the database".
Any advice welcome.
Cheers,
Chris...

Hi Chris,
The universe is quite a simple tool in that it maps the sql directly to objects. So if the universe points to a table name that is no longer present, you wil get an error in the report, or when you check the integrity of the universe (tools, check integrity)
The standard formats will move accross without an issue, however it is possible to use vendor specific code in objects. So for instance I could write
nvl(my_table.my_col, 0) in Oracle
or
IsNull(my_table.my_col, 0) in MS SQL.
If you objects contain these defintions then your job is going to get harder.

Seeking advice on SAP/cloud

Hello all,
Will be doing proof-of-concept on SAP on cloud, installing ERP and seeking advice/feedback.
Based on the criteria of easier installation and faster delivery (and of course success story), what will be the recommended combination of platform (LINUX, Windows) and database (Oracle, MS SQL, MAXDB, DB2).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Terry

There are lots of documents in SDN and other forums which will give much better idea ... but these are my observation
Installation - Once you have gone past the access process to the cloud environment, after that you can hardly differentiate whether you are on doing a install on cloud or non-cloud. Though definately the time to get the infrastructure for install is much faster.
Windows or Linux - I would put it as windows or Unix, not sure how many providers offer other flavors of Unix apart from Linux. But obviously the Product itself to some extent will govern what you choose, as has been the case in non-cloud env.
Database - Again have seen Oracle and DB2 being mostly used. Not sure why, may be stuff like doing system refresh in 15 min , etc are easier to achieve with products like Oracle and DB2.
Regards,
Neel
I dont have any exposure to windows on cloud. So i am not aware of specific positives it might have in cloud.

Seeking advice for backing up Xserve G5 w/ RAID PCI card

Hello all!
I'm a newbie to Macs and server admin, and I have inherited the job of setting up a server at work for file storage. I'll do my best to give a concise description of our set-up - I'm looking for some advice on the last few odds and ends... mainly how we can backup the system.
We bought an Xserve G5 with an option RAID PCI card. We have 3 500GB drives in the Xserve, configured to RAID 5 (giving us effectively 1TB of storage space). We will be using the server for data storage. About 20 computers will access the server over a network; we are using an assortment of Macs and PCS.
I am seeking advice on backup systems for the server. In the event that the RAID5 fails, we don't want to lose our data. We just need a snapshot of the server; we don't need to archive data or to take the HD offsite. Our old server just used Retrospect to run incremental backups every night (with a complete clean backup once a month). Our current thought is to attach large external hard drive to our admin computer (not the server directly) and run nightly backups as before.
The major points I have are:
-Any thoughts on reliable 1 TB external drives?
-Any recommendations on software that can backup from a RAID over a network? I found info for Retrospect Server 6.0 - it seems to do what we want, but is rather pricey.
Thanks in advance for any advice! I really appreciate it!
Xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Greetings-
We all started out as newbies at one time or another-no worries. That is why we are here.
I personally use the Lacie branded drives. They are sturdy and reliable. My only thoughts here are to have at least three external drives-one for today's backup, one for a backup stored securely nearby, and one to be securely stored off-site. Rotate the drives daily so that your worst-case scenario will be a catastrophe that requires you to use a three-day old backup, depending upon how old your off-site backup is. Not ideal but better than the alternative. External drives are cheap enough these days to allow you to do this at a reasonable cost. Plus it is easy enough to throw one in a briefcase and tote it home for safety (just don't lose it!)
I would stay away from Retrospect. If you search these forums you will find several instances of folks having some serious issues with the program. I use a program called Carbon Copy Cloner that does the job nicely for my basement server. There are ways to do the backups via the command line interface as well but I am not so familiar with those commands. You may have to dig a little deeper to find something that works for you.
One of the other advantages of the FW external drive is that you can share it with other users, so perhaps you can set things up to have your network backups to go to that drive. Tis a thought.

Seeking advice on moving up to HDV editing

I appreciate folks on this forum who have assisted me in the past when I’ve had questions about iMovie, editing, burning DVDs etc. Karsten, Lennart, Bengt and others from around the world have been very kind and helpful. I am now seeking advice from anyone regarding “moving up” to the HDV world of video editing.
I recently "retired" my 2003 iMac G4 800 MHz flat screen and replaced it with an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 duo with a 320 GB hardrive and 4 GB of upgraded RAM. I have a 250 GB external drive as well. I also replaced my old Sony TRV-30 digital camcorder (a great old workhorse which is still going strong after 8 years) with a Canon Vixia HV40 that has high definition recording capability (uses mini DV tape).
I had been using iMovie HD 06 to edit my video projects along with iDVD and Toast 6 to burn them to DVD. I would like to start shooting HDV video with the new Canon, edit and burn the projects to Blu Ray high definition discs. MCE Technologies (among others, I believe) offer both internal and external Blu Ray burners. I don’t believe that the internal Blu Ray burner would work in my new iMac, but I may be wrong on that. (Does anyone know the answer?)
I believe that the MCE external Blu Ray burner would work with my equipment if attached to one of the Firewire ports or possibly through one of the USB 2 ports. (there is both a 400 and 800 Firewire port on this iMac model.) I was planning to acquire Final Cut Express as the editing program with Toast 10 Pro (plus the Blu Ray plug in) to burn the edited projects.
Will this work? Is there anything I should know before I plunge “headlong” into HDV editing? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

I'm jealous.. wow! MY set-up..
HDV is supported by IMHD6.. just to mention that. so, HDV-editing is same as SD..
iMHD6 Export 'FullQuality' creates a file, which is HiDef too, for your Toast/BR workflow ..
HDV creates on import (IMHD6/FCE) huuuuuge files, 40-60GBs/h .. 250 extHDD = 6h, full..
actual price for extHDD with 1TB <100€ ..
keep in mind: internal harddrive has to offer any time 10-20GBs free..
not every BR-standalone-player accepts homebrewn disks..don't be disappointed...
Toast and iDVD can burn DVDs (=which offer SD only) from HiDef projects.. no need to 'convert'.. both apps downsize automatically...
FCE has a (very) steem learning curve.. totally different to iMovie.. no one-click-only, no templates, no ready-mades.. but zillions of options, 101% control.. (simple example: ken burns with zoom-to-zil and rotation and moving out of frame...)
buy a book of FC Mastermind and AppleDiscussions-Level5 supporter *Tom Wolsky* - he's a sensei, in-depth-knowledge, hands-on (=no tech blabla), easy to read and understand.
don't start with a project, start with 'tests for the trashbin'..

Unable to install Adobe products on OS X 10.7.5 - desperately seeking advice!

Hi there, this is my last option so hoping someone can help. I have Adobe CS5 and I cannot get it to install on my mac. I have used a trial before but now cannot get any version of any adobe program to install. When the installer starts up, it gets about 3/4 of the way and then I get the following:
'Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.'
I have done this and it detects that there are no problems. I have since used the Adobe clean up app, ensured there are no left over files from any adobe program remaining and even backed up the entire machine and reinstalled OS Lion (as I thought it was something to do with the ditto command being corrupt - it doesn't seem to be) but nothing works. It is is definitely an adobe related issue and not a fault with the disk as I have tried the CS6 trial but it does the same as the full copy of CS5.
If anyone has any ideas then that would be hugely appreciated as I am beyond frustrated and have spent hours reading forums and trying different approaches.
Many thanks

You can try this to see if it helps: Repair your hard drive and permissions. The first is if you are running Snow Leopard. The second if you are running Lion or Mountain Lion.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Seeking advice: project sharing

For five years, I've produced a quarterly newsletter (for teh day job) that averages 28 pages. In 2014, I'm preparing to change the project by lowering print run and page count and making it monthly - so we'll be producing the same number of pages in a year, but on a radically different schedule.
To help me accomplish that, another employee will begin contributing content, including page layout. She uses our same CS5 license in the office next to mine and is comfortable but not confident (i.e. will be a full but junior partner for the first six issues while her Adobe chops catch up with her composition & design skill).
So the question, broadly, is: what advice would you give in this situation? The coworker and I have done many prjects together over the years, and I'm not at all worried about issues of ego or control. But I've been making this product myself, and have a lot of "shorthands" built in to my workflow that she doesn't necessarily have to emulate. Also, because I've answered to no one for so long, I expect some headbutting as we learn from each other - and might have use for robust version control, so we can see different principles in action on a page.
Does it make sense to break out InCopy (which we don't currently own) for such a short-distance working relationship? Is there a plug-in by which she could "check out" pages 3 and 4 from my working master, in the way that a Dreamweaver server can handle different versions of an HTML page?

Is this about Indesign or Dreamweaver?
Just wondering: so much effort for a small news letter that published only four times a year? Two people, optimised workflow, shorthands, version control?
I'm sharing my documents with a colleague who is translating them to Chinese inside Indesign. There is no other way than sending her all the INDD and footage, so she can work.
Instructions about changes have to be given. I see no way to make this more efficient and actually, there's no need to.

Seeking advice for a wookiee video person...

I'm shooting alot of videos lately. Typically - they just sit in a folder when I transfer via usb to my dell laptop (sorry I don't have a Macbook pro quite yet!).
I know there is Windows Movie Maker and some other "free" junk out there.
I see Camtasia looks pretty fabulous - but I think all I need is something simple to basicaly do minor editing and then compressing and prepping to share via the internet in various ways with family and friends.
Would QuickTime Pro give me all I need or should l look at buying both QuickTime Pro AND Compressor 4?
(Assuming these are both available for Windows 7).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David Murphy

Compressor is Mac only
QT Pro will only act as a cut editor so hardly the application for you, there is no transitions, titles sound mixing or effects.
Adobe Premier Elementsis fantastic value for money for Windows machines if you plan to do decent hobbyist editing. Look at the website here:

Needing some advice on Adobe Export PDF, please??!!!

So I am rying to use Adobe ExportPDF and I keep repeatedly get the same errors that Internet Exlporer has quit working and we are trying to solve the problem.....I am not sure what I am doong wrong - seemed easy enough.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Good day,
Try the solutions outlined in this document: Troubleshooting Common Problems with ExportPDF.

While I appreciate the Adobe training videos, I would like to be able to print a hard copy of the content of the videos so that I have something to refer to without returning to the video but how can I do that?

I really enjoy the helpful videos when finding an Adobe Acrobat answer but I would like to be able to print the content of the video so that I can refer to it for help whenever I want without having to find the helpful training video all over again and have to watch it all over it again so can this be done and if so how?? - thanks

Thanks and yes, of course I could bookmark them but then I would have go continually go back and look at them all over again when I needed them which is not much of a time saver.
I guess I will have to do what the reply suggested and that is make screen shots and a combined PDF file from the screen shots in order to get exactly what I want. However, I feel this kind of defeats the real purpose of real "Help" in some way. Why not offer a print option on these video tips as I know there must be others who would often prefer a hard copy for referral as opposed to having to go to a bookmarked video again, just seems like a waste of time when you are in a hurry which is often the case.
