Stupid question! why is my PDF purple?

i have a high res PDF but i cannot remove the "varnish" so i can actually see the document it is just purple.
i am sure there is a simple solution however i cannot seem to find it.
please help!!!!!

I dont know how the PDF was created but I am viewing it in adobe professional 8 when I zoom the PDF I get glimpses of the document but I have a purple document.
I went to over print preview but and now I can see the document with a purple haze over it. All the white bits are now light purple.
And when I turn it off I get the solid purple screen back.
When I went to output preview and turned off varnish I could see the document perfectly however as soon as I closed this I get the solid purple colour screen back
I hope this is enough information
Thanks for your help!

Every time I open a pdf file which includes a javascript, a dialogue box pops up. I have a question why 'Do not show this message again' is not working even I checked on the checkbox. It should block the dialogue next time when I open the same pdf file but not working. What is the matter and how can I deal with it?

Why does my PDF look so CRAPPY when I print through acrobat???

I have been having troubles with exporting a PDF from an Indesign file.. when I printed the exported PDF from acrobat, text was printing out very pixelated. I was exporting the file in indesign as a press quality pdf. The text looked fine when I viewed it in acrobat and zoomed in, but when I printed it out it looked very pixelated and not as black as it had when I had printed the file directly from indesign.
so this is what I've figured it out so far... I was exporting to PDF in indesign then opening it in adobe arobat pro and printing from there... for some reason when I went into my advanced print settings in acrobat, it was set to "print as image: 100 dpi." I changed it and it printed out better but not perfect. To double check it was adobe that was causing the issue, I opened and printed the pdf through mac preview. This looked perfect - - exactly like it did when I printed through INDD.
So my questions are, 1> WHY does it automatically printing as an image 100 dpi in adobe? and 2> how can I change this setting so when my client opens it up, they dont have to mess with any of the print settings to get it to look how it's supposed to? Is this a setting I can change when I save the file? I want to make sure it prints out correctly because one of the fonts used is ultralight and can look very very light if printed incorrecty. It looks perfect when I print through preview, but even printing as an image in 600 dpi through acrobat pro, the ultralight font looks lighter and more faded than it should (and than it does in the preview and INDD printed files). If i unselect the "print as image" checkbox, the ultralight text looks better but still not perfect. So that would make my second question >> WHY is the print quality worse when I print through adobe, and how can I remedy this? Any ideas??? Any help much appreciated!
**using acrobat pro 9.4.6 on mac osx 10.6.8

The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
*As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

Stupid questions on the ipod mini.....

I have an old ipod mini from 6 years ago. I haven't used it since I got it. Since I'm going to work out, I wanted to take it and listen while I'm exercising....
Stupid question number one
1. Can you hear music without using earphones? Or do you have to use a docking system???? Is everything with head/earphones?
2. The earphones that came with it, fall out of my ears..... what gives? Can anyone make a suggestion about headphones that you don't have to stick in the ear canal... but aren't cumbersome???? I need some suggestions, else the whole ipod experience is a waste
3. am I stupid for staying with a vintage ipod mini, instead of getting an ipod touch or traditional ipod that's newer? Are they easier to use?
All I really do is make playlists on itunes, and maybe a short download of a radio show or something like that..... What's the advantages of Ipod touch vs traditional Ipods?

1. No. You can hook it up to a docking station or use headphones/earbuds.
2. Everybody's ears are shaped different and so a one size doesn't fit all. I don't have any particular suggestions though. I would look on Amazon's site for an extensive list of possibilities.
3. Not at all. If it still works, why quit using it or buy a new one? Wouldn't make any sense! The advantage of the iPod Touch is that it has much more capability compared to other models in that it can download and play Apps as well as a number of other things.

Stupid Question? - Safari History

For some reason the dates in my Safari history are incorrect. i.e. Today is Sunday, June 1st, but when I go to access History from the toolbar, it lists yesterday as Friday, May 30....so dates in History are off by one day. However, my system time & date is set correctly.
Probably a stupid question, but any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks

I can't find the word "yesterday" on my History menu. Where do you see that?
For me it shows "Earlier Today" then it starts showing the dates underneath that.
Of course, I didn't use Safari yesterday, so that might be why.

Why have my pdf files lost the Adobe pdf icon? Please help.

Hello all.
In transfering pdf files from my old PowerBook G4 to my new MacBook Pro, half of the pdf files now have a blank page as an icon. Also, all pdf files that I now create through print in Safari are blank. Nevertheless, all of these files open properly with Adobe Reader. This is the only type of file that lacks a proper icon. Why has the proper icon been lost & how do I solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Thank you, the problem appears to have been solved by
rebuilding the launch services database as you
recommended. The second solution did not work.
Question: why do you think this problem occurred with
a new computer straight out of the box?
When you transfer files from another computer or over an FTP site or email, some of the info is sometimes lost. It's actually pretty rare from computer to computer but just about always happens on Internet transfers, although those mostly lose their icons.
I'm still learning how to use this web site. I
selected helpful without realizing I should have
selected solved. Can I change to solved?
I don't think so but you can make this one as solved.

What is workflow minimum? (stupid questions from rookie)

Guys,
we are evaluating Oracle workflow. If you could help us to answer some of the stupid questions we have - it would help us a lot.
1. There are two parts of Workflow installation - DB and midtier. Is it possible to use workflow without installing midtier? Our understanding - midtier is used for providing web access for the users to the workflow engine: they can approve/reject, check workflow status etc. But is it possible to perform all these tasks via email only or by building some simple user interface in our existing webtier (which is not based on Oracle webserver, though is using Oracle for the DB layer)
2. We were not able to configure other schema to have access to workflow successfully - though it looks like this schema has all possible privs set. If we are trying to call wf_engine.LaunchProcess - we are getting privs error. If we call it from the workflow schema - everything is working fine. Does anybody have any successful experience in doing this?
Thanks a lot everybody for help!

Hi,
I do not consider myself an expert at Workflow, but I will attempt to answer your questions (which are not stupid questions by any means)...
I will answer question 1 in two parts as it is essentially two questions.
1. "Is it possible to use workflow without installing midtier"
Workflow is a module inside the Database that is an optional installation.
No middle-tier needs to be installed as such.
The middle-tier I believe you are referring to is the Workflow Monitor, this is viewed by configuring either the:
- Database HTTP server DAD to display the Workflow Monitor
or
- Application Server HTTP Server DAD to display the Workflow Monitor
Configuring the Workflow Monitor for the Administrators is a very good idea.
Normal users do not normally need to view this page, but read-only acess can be setup (ie. the users connect as a user without the ADMIN role)
1. "But is it possible to perform all these tasks via email"
Using Workflow Notifications, emails can be sent to users where they can approve/reject.
2. We were not able to configure other schema to have access to workflow successfully
I am not sure why you are not successful here... have you granted execute on wf_engine.LaunchProcess to the other schema?
Cheers,
Degan.

Newbie question : why is star schema fast and efficient?

Hi all,
just a stupid question, but I haven't been able to find a proper
answer so far...
Why is star schema a good design for Data Marts and DWH?
What is the underlying reason that makes it attractive
performance wise?
Why wouldn't just one big table with all the data in it and with
the proper indexes be enough?
Thanks all!!
Regards
Vincent

There are several reasons to use star schemas, particularly in
Oracle.
A flat table like you asked about looks attractive but has
several flaws, i.e. massive data redundancy, no logical
groupings, no aggregation (or additional redundant data
aggregated), etc.
A start schema is semi-denormalized to allow easy reporting. A
truely normalized system is diffucult to report against be cause
you may have to join many tables to return just 2 pieces of
related data. A star schema enables you to join to only a single
dimension table to the fact table to return the same 2 pieces of
data. If you're returning many pieces of data, a star schema
keeps access very simple. Most third party reporting tools
recognize star schemas and will build your where clauses behind
the scenes making them a lot more useful to end users.
Oracle is adding optimizations to the cbo for start schemas.
Using dimensions, materialized views, partitions, IOTs, etc
greatly enhances performance for queries against massive amounts
of data. It does make loading the data more difficult but the
trade off at query time is worth it.
A flat table structure, besides having a lot of redundant data,
is hard to optimize. When you have terebytes of data, a flat
table structure gets scary even with indexes.
This is just my opinion, hope that helps.

Stupid Question: Embedding FMS 3.5 videos in other pages...

Hi,
Stupid question, I am sure.    But anyway, I have my shiny new FMS 3.5 server.   There is the multi-rate example which provides a "Cut and Paste" object tag to embed the video....   e.g.
<object width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' name='videoPlayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' ><param name='movie' value='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' /> <param name='quality' value='high' /> <param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' /> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /> <param name='flashvars' value= '&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.s mil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manu al&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart= true'/><embed src='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' quality='high' bgcolor='#000000' name='videoPlayer' allowfullscreen='true' pluginspage='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer'   flashvars='&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynam icStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsCo ntrol=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod& autoStart=true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'> </embed></object>
( cough )
I paste this into a web page hosted on another ( ordinary, nonFMS ) server, I see the player show up, but after 5 seconds I get message that the player cannot connect, please click Play to try again.    Of course same work fine if the page is hosted out of webroot on the FMS server.   So I assume the "example" does not include absolute URL's so I tried hacking in full URL's for the swfs/videoPlayer.swf and the rtmp:/ URLs to no avail.   Which makes it a pretty poor "example" IMO.   I also noticed that the .smil file itself also includes a relative URL to the vod app, I modified that as well - the object tags still works only when hosted from the /webroot folder.
So what should this "example" really look like with absolute URL's to use in a real way?   Also is there some content protection mechanism which is preventing this from being embedded in other pages not hosted locally?
Thanks.

Having the same problem, with no answer in sight. Others have suggested, as you have, to use a third party player. But why should it be so difficult to do this with the videoPlayer.swf file that comes with FMS?
Here's the page: http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash3/Newcode.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Sports- BaseballvsDumont051010.mov
The page based on Adobe's sample works, but the formatting is awful:
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash3/Recent.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Sports-B aseballvsDumont051010.mov
The FMS sample page says that the player has to be instantiated first. I have tried many different paths linking to the swfs/videoPlayer.swf file to no avail.I have also read these forums and scoured the internet.

Really stupid question - Migrating from 6i to 11g

Hi all,
I'm a developer that have been working with oracle since Forms 3, right now I use Forms 6i and I would like to know what I need to use Forms 11g. I understand this new environment is web based, but to start developing and deploying, what I need? for example if I buy the Oracle Forms & Report 11g, I also will need the OAS? or just with Forms and Report I could deploy (somehow) the application?
Please don't flame me, I just want to understand how this works now.
Best Regards

As my old college profession used to say - "The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!" Forms 11g only supports web deployment. This means you will need the OAS with the Forms and Reports Services installed as well. Typically, the setup is three tiered ( 1 server = Database, 1 server = Application Server, 1 server = Infrastructure server ). You don't have to set up the technology stack multitiered - all three could reside on the same server or you could have the all three on the same machine but is not recommended. I would at least have the database on a server seperate from OAS.
Here are a few links to get you started.
Oracle Documentation
* Check out: Development Tools - Oracle Forms, Middleware - Applications Server - Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Middleware - Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence - Oracle Reports
Since you will be upgrading from Forms 6i to 11g, be sure to visit the Oracle Forms-Upgrading Forms 6i to Forms 11g documentation.
BTW, welcome to the forums!

Stupid question re iTunes match and family sharing

So, here is my dilemma...we have a large family and a ton of os devices--iphones, iPads, apple tv's, iMacs, MacBooks, etc. Up until now, we have set everyone up on the same apple id, which has been crazy--my and my wife's phone ringing with the kids' FaceTime calls, me not being able to sign into iTunes match because there were too many devices associated with our account, and so on. Now, wit the upgrade to iOS 8, my wife's phone is ringing when I receive calls and vice versa. So, I was looking into the family sharing, but am not sure how that affects iTunes match. I want to keep my iTunes match, because I have a huge music library and enjoy being able to listen to my music anywhere. I guess my questions is, what is the best way to set up my accounts now? Keep my apple id for my iOS devices, and set everyone else up as a "family member" under sharing with them having their own apple id's? If so, what does that do to my iTunes match library? can I keep iTunes match and still have family sharing on? I don't care if I can share my music library with everyone in my family, but what I do care about is that I don't want to lose my access to iTunes match and my entire library, some of which consists of songs downloaded 7 years ago. I know it's a stupid question, but as much as I've read and searched, I still haven't found the answer to my question. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds very bad... you can try this, create a account for each member of the family, delete all products (leave all your devices as new) and put the accounts in the devices again, for example, this iPad is from the kid, put the Apple ID of the kid in her iPad, after, this iPhone is from your wife, put the Apple ID from your wife in her iPhone. But remember, the purchases save in the Apple IDs when the family use before, for change the purchases contact with Apple.

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?
