Should I create outlines for a type logo before saving as a pdf?

I have designed a logo in Illustrator (CS3) which has three elements: the company symbol, company name, and a tagline. I did not alter the typeface in any way, but I set it with some very tight custom kerning. The tagline is in a small size italic. I need to create a pdf of this logo for the client, who will then send it on to various printers to drop into several different publications.
My question is: should I create an outlined version of the type before making the pdf? This option is probably the "safest" for insuring the correct result from unknown printers, but I really hate the thicker look of outlined type. I know Illustrator embeds a subset of the fonts along with the pdf, but I'm not sure if this is enough to avoid problems from printers who do not have the font installed on their own system.
I have read several discussions on this forum regarding the pros and cons of outlining type, but the issues usually involve text type rather than a single logo with only a few words. While I prefer to avoid outlined type, I know some printers request it. What are the best pdf presets to use if I do not outline the type? Thank you for any advice.

Yes. A logo is a graphic. Treat it as such. You don't want replication of an identity mark to ever be dependent upon a system condition (presence of a font) that may or may not be there. A robust logo is deliverable in multiple formats. Not everything can import a PDF as a spot graphic (far from it).
For just one obvious example: Most true logos are going to be rendered on a sign. That necessitates its being cut on a vector plotter. Industry standard vinyl plotters can't do that with a font that's embeded in a PDF.
Whether the tagline itself should be treated as an actual element of the logo proper is another matter. One would have to see the specifics to advise on that.

Font Outlines For Distorted Type?

before sending my file to the printer, i would like to outline the document's text to avoid font substitution if the printer doesn't have the font available.
to outline all of my text, i first Select > All on Active Artboard and then choose Type > Create Outlines. however, there are many areas of text in my document that contain an arc envelope distortion. these arced text fields were not outlined and i can still reach their editable text field by going down a few layers.
should i also outline the arced type for these fonts incase the printer doesn't have the font available, or was creating an arc distortion the same thing as outlining the text?
the reason i'm asking is because it will take me a very long time to individually process each one of these arced text fields if they, too, should be outlined.

I haven't tried to replicate your issue on my computer but if what your saying is true you should have probably converted to outlines "before" applying the envelope distortion. I am not sure if you can save the distortion settings as a preset but if you can then it would be a matter of saving the presets for each arc instance, removing the current instance, outlining the text, and then reapplying it. I know it will take some time but when sending something to the printer you definitely don't want to take chances.
The other option is setting up your preflight options in Acrobat properly so that when you save the Illustrator PDF you will embed all of the fonts and you don't have to worry about outlining the fonts.

Inspection lot should be created only for particular vendor

Hi
Can anyone please help in achieving the below scenario:
*Material has been assigned to the inspection type A (one time inspection) has been set as preffered and active in the inspection set up in the material master.
*Quality level has been created for material and vendor such that inspection should be carried out when next stage is 1 and no inspection should carried out when next stage is 2.
*Tasklist has been assigned with material and vendor .
Material can be supplied by different vendors,For this material, inspection should be done only for one vendor and for other vendors there should not be any inspection to be done and no inspection lot should be created.i.e Inspection lot should be created only for one vendor say AA whereas now inspection lot is getting created when goods receipt is done for the purchase order with other vendor BB.
My requirement is the inspection lot should not be created when goods receipt is done with other vendors say BB except AA.
Is there any other way other than using quality info record to achieve this.
I can try with DMR but the thing is there should not be inspection lot created while posting GR.
can anyone suggest me any other way to achieve this requirement.

There are user exits when you create an inspection lot. One of those could be used to suppress the inspection lot. Have you looked at these? Have you researched any QM user exits yourself yet? This isn't the first time this specific question has been asked over the years.
It's not hard and there are lists of QM user exits available all over the internet.
Please do some research.
You can also assign vendors to inspection plans with a DMR that requires one inspection, and than after that creates all skip lot inspections which you automatically close by a batch job. The first lot can be manually forced closed. Thereaftter all receipts would be skipped. Not 100% but pretty darn close. This requires that you know which vendors to assign to which plan. Probably as much data maintenance as maintaing the Q-info records.
And yes.. your client needs to come up with better reasons than "I don't wanna..". It's part of a consultants job to convince them.

HT204053 My wife and I get our iPhone 4s tomorrow. Should we put them both on the same Apple ID, or should I create one for her. All our apple products are on mine at this time.

My wife and I get our iPhone 4s tomorrow. Should we put them both on the same Apple ID, or should I create one for her. All our apple products are on mine at this time.

The answer to this kind of depends on what you both want to do. Apple IDs can be used for multiple Apple services. For example you could both have your own iCloud Apple IDs (which I would suggest), but have only one iTunes Store Apple ID.
So think about how you will each use the iPhones then make your decision. Keep in mind that if you both use the same iCloud Apple ID you will receive each other's texts and emails and all the email, contacts and calendars will be the same.

You should also create directories for and mount any other partitions

Hi,
I've downloaded archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.iso and wrote it to USB. I've booted from that USB and set up partititons using command cfdisk.
/dev/sda5 ==> /boot
/dev/sda6 ==> /
/dev/sda7 ==> swap
/dev/sda8 ==> /home
I don't remember if I've created /mnt or if it was already there. I've created two directories: /mnt/boot and /mnt/home as per instructions:
"https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide
Mount the partitions
We now must mount the root partition on /mnt. You should also create directories for and mount any other partitions (/mnt/boot, /mnt/home, ...) if you want them to be detected by genfstab."
I've mounted /dev/sda6 on /mnt
and now there are no /mnt/boot and /mnt/home under the /mnt
I don't understand what to do now because instructions state that I should create directories /mnt/boot and /mnt/home and mount them but now that I've mounted / on /mnt the /mnt/boot and /mnt/home are not available to mount partitions /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda8
Regards

mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
Then do pacstrap etc. Add /home to fstab before you reboot.
Alternatively you can mkdir /mnt/home and mount /sda8 there too, then genfstab will add the entry in fstab for it for you.

Should we create new sales order type for Brazil

Hi,
We are having SAP Global templete environment & going for Brazil rollout. My question is whether we can have exitsing sales order type or should we create a new one so as to capture complicated Nota fiscal requirements.
What SAP recemmends
Thanks
Amb

Most of the sales document types for Brazil are identified by BR in the description, for instance, sales document type ORB for Standard Order BR. This means a separate order type.
[Country version Brazil exclusively deals with Nota Fiscais.|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/10/e0f0371bc15d73e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm]

Should we create the same IDOC type and message type?

Hi all, if we want to send an IDOC from one R/3 system to another R/3 system type, should we have to create the IDOC type in one system, then repeate the steps in another system? If we don't have to, what shoud we do?

assuming you want to create a custom IDOC type and not use a standard one, you can create it in one system and then transport it to the other system using normal transport procedure (STMS).
Cheers

Create Synonym for Object Type not supported; Why?

Does anybody know the reason why Oracle does not support the creation of synonyms for object types?
In our application we use many schemas to separate subsystems. The schema name has a version identifier included to allow multiple product versions loaded in the database at the same time.
We reference objects between schemas by using synonyms, to avoid hardcoding the schema names.
Therefore I must refrain from using object types, currently.
Does anybody have such a multi-schema architecture, also?
What is your experience?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Type synonym is now supported in Oracle9i Release 2. The practice of using multi-schema architecture is an excellent practice for large applications. This provides a level of abstraction to simplify application maintenance, whihc you must have experienced. In conjuction with Object types, you can further simplify your application through reuse of user-defined types.
Do you have an email address that I can contact you for further discussion off-line.
Regards,
Geoff

Should I create setters for static fields ?

Hi all,
I don't know if here is the right forum for this question, but I'd like to know if is recommended to create setters for static fields of a class or if I can directly assign a value to those fields.
Thanks.

No question, you can assign to static fields, it's more a question of style and thoughts about future requirements. At some point in the future maybe you'll want such setting to have side effects. Personally I think using getters and setters everywhere (even on isntance fields) can be a bit obsessive.
On the whole, there's not that many occasions where accessing static fields that directly from outside the class makes sense. It's usually better, to my mind, to use a singleton pattern for global values. For me, static variables are more likely to either be constants, or things like instance lists more likely to be accessed through an Iterable interface.

How to create approval for service type document

Hello,
I am trying to create a Approval Query wherein if a Patricular User creates a SERVICE Type AP Invoice then it should go for approval.
I used the query :
SELECT distinct 'TRUE' FROM OPCH T0 INNER JOIN PCH1 T1 ON T0.[DocEntry] = T1.[DocEntry] WHERE T0.[DocType] ='S'
But the problem is that when the above user is making ITEM Type AP Invoice then also its going for approval.
Please advise.
Kind Regards,
Ravi

Hi,
Please find below the query :
SELECT distinct' true' FROM OPCH T0 INNER JOIN OUSR T1 ON T0.UserSign = T1.USERID WHERE $[$3.0.0] = 'S' and $[user] = '9'
This user 9 was taken from OUSR table.

NESTED Tables for Sub-types when creating table for Super-type

If I create the following types, as an example:
Person with subtypes: Employee and Customer
Appointment
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Person_OT AS OBJECT (
person#                         NUMBER,
personSurname                    VARCHAR2(50),
personForenames               VARCHAR2(50),
personDateOfBirth               DATE,
personAddress                    Address_OT,
) NOT FINAL ;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Employee UNDER Person_OT (
empSalary               NUMBER,
empNoSales          NUMBER,
makes               Appointment_List_OT
) FINAL ;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Appointment_OT AS OBJECT (
some attributes
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Appointment_List_OT AS TABLE OF REF Appointment_OT ;
When creating the table to hold objects of Person type, how can the requisite nested table for representing 'makes' be declared? The below approach is not correct, however the table will not compile without naming the nested tables.
CREATE TABLE Person_TBL OF Person_OT (
Person#     PRIMARY KEY)
NESTED TABLE makes STORE AS Appointment_List_NTBL;
Advice very much appreciated!

CREATE TABLE Person_TBL OF Person_OT(
Person# PRIMARY KEY)
NESTED TABLE TREAT(SYS_NC_ROWINFO$ AS EMPLOYEE).MAKES STORE AS Appointment_List_NTBL

Should Java be used for this type of application

I am building a knowledgebase that is going to be searchable in web browser. Lucene is good search engine and it's in Java so would use JSP pages. However everyone has Win 2000 machines and it's going to be annoyin to install that on everyone's machine. Is there a way to put it on a shared drive and make it work ? I'm confused.

Java should be used for everything... :)
You could write an application for a central server, and then make a web interface for it that your users could use. You could write a process that would index your data into a database table, which would be easier to search, and then have your web frontend search the database based on whatever requirements the user specifies.
I'm not really familiar with lucene, but I'm sure you could run it on a server, and make a web interface with java to interact with it.

Create idocs for FI documents posted before ALE setup

The users were creating FI documents normally during May 2006, but the ALE financial interface was not set up until the end of that May. We are using a FI message type which is a copy from a standard one.
Is it possible to create idocs from those FI documents posted before setting up the ALE connection so those FI documents can be sent via ALE?

To copy number ranges to a new year you do with the transaction OBH2.
When you want to transport number ranges you ask for problems. Only for a new implementation you can do it but not when there are existing number ranges with postings for that company

In Adobe reader: How can I edit a letter that I created in Word for mac, and then STUPIDLY saved as a pdf?

There seems to be no way to delete content, and replace it with other content.

If you don't have the Word document anymore, you may be able to export the pdf to a Word document using either the 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro or by subscribing to Adobe ExportPDF (available in the newest version of Reader) for a month.
