Template Size Issues

I have been having many issues with templates. I make a
template and it appears so different in different browsers, then I
have pages that are nearly identical and some of the fixed
templatre areas are huge and some are tiny.
Is there any way to lock down some parts of the template so
they can't change size in browsers?
Or, how can I lock down the size of a table?
See my problem here, same template, different size buttons at
top.

jewelry. PLease help! THANKS!

Actually, the problem was CSS, and got solved. :-)

  • Paper Size issues with CreatePDF Desktop Printer

    Are there any known paper size issues with PDFs created using Acrobat.com's CreatePDF Desktop Printer?
    I've performed limited testing with a trial subscription, in preparation for a rollout to several clients.
    Standard paper size in this country is A4, not Letter.  The desktop printer was created manually on a Windows XP system following the instructions in document cpsid_86984.  MS Word was then used to print a Word document to the virtual printer.  Paper Size in Word's Page Setup was correctly set to A4.  However the resultant PDF file was Letter size, causing the top of each page to be truncated.
    I then looked at the Properties of the printer, and found that it was using an "HP Color LaserJet PS" driver (self-chosen by the printer install procedure).  Its Paper Size was also set to A4.  Word does override some printer driver settings, but in this case both the application and the printer were set to A4, so there should have been no issue.
    On a hunch, I then changed the CreatePDF printer driver to a Xerox Phaser, as suggested in the above Adobe document for other versions of Windows.  (Couldn't find the recommended "Xerox Phaser 6120 PS", so chose the 1235 PS model instead.)  After confirming that it too was set for A4, I repeated the test using the same Word document.  This time the result was fine.
    While I seem to have solved the issue on this occasion, I have not been able to do sufficient testing with a 5-PDF trial, and wish to avoid similar problems with the future live users, all of which use Word and A4 paper.  Any information or recommendations would be appreciated.  Also, is there any information available on the service's sensitivity to different printer drivers used with the CreatePDF's printer definition?  And can we assume that the alternative "Upload and Convert" procedure correctly selects output paper size from the settings of an uploaded document?
    PS - The newly-revised doc cpsid_86984 still seems to need further revising.  Vista and Windows 7 instructions have now been split.  I tried the new Vista instructions on a Vista SP2 PC and found that step 6 appears to be out of place - there was no provision to enter Adobe ID and password at this stage.  It appears that, as with XP and Win7, one must configure the printer after it is installed (and not just if changing the ID or password, as stated in the document).

    Thank you, Rebecca.
    The plot thickens a little, given that it was the same unaltered Word document that first created a letter-size PDF, but correctly created an A4-size PDF after the driver was changed from the HP Color Laser PS to a Xerox Phaser.  I thought that the answer may lie in your comment that "it'll get complicated if there is a particular driver selected in the process of manually installing the PDF desktop printer".  But that HP driver was not (consciously) selected - it became part of the printer definition when the manual install instructions were followed.
    However I haven't yet had a chance to try a different XP system, and given that you haven't been able to reproduce the issue (thank you for trying), I will assume for the time being that it might have been a spurious problem that won't recur.  I'll take your point about using the installer, though when the opportunity arises I might try to satisfy my cursed curiosity by experimenting further with the manual install.  If I come up with anything of interest, I'll post again.

  • How to setup a template to issue SHA1 certs if I have a SHA256 chain

    Hi All
    Can any one tell me how to setup a template to issue SHA1 certs if I have a SHA256 chain. I looked at the templates and I didn’t see where it is specified?
    Puneet Singh

    Certificate signature algorithm is CA-wide settings and independent from certificate templates. You have to configure your CA to use SHA1 signature:
    certutil -setreg ca\csp\cnghashalgorithm sha1

  • Smartcardio ResponseAPDU buffer size issue?

    Greetings All,
    I’ve been using the javax.smartcardio API to interface with smart cards for around a year now but I’ve recently come across an issue that may be beyond me. My issue is that I whenever I’m trying to extract a large data object from a smart card, I get a “javax.smartcardio.CardException: Could not obtain response” error.
    The data object I’m trying to extract from the card is around 12KB. I have noticed that if I send a GETRESPONSE APDU after this error occurs I get the last 5 KB of the object but the first 7 KB are gone. I do know that the GETRESPONSE dialogue is supposed to be sent by Java in the background where the responses are concatenated before being sent as a ResponseAPDU.
    At the same time, I am able to extract this data object from the card whenever I use other APDU tools or APIs, where I have oversight of the GETRESPONSE APDU interactions.
    Is it possible that the ResponseAPDU runs into buffer size issues? Is there a known workaround for this? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is some code that will demonstrate this behavior:
    * test program
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.smartcardio.*;
    import java.lang.String;
    public class GetDataTest{
        public void GetDataTest(){}
        public static void main(String[] args){
            try{
                byte[] aid = {(byte)0xA0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x03, 0x08, 0x00, 0x00};
                byte[] biometricDataID1 = {(byte)0x5C, (byte)0x03, (byte)0x5F, (byte)0xC1, (byte)0x08};
                byte[] biometricDataID2 = {(byte)0x5C, (byte)0x03, (byte)0x5F, (byte)0xC1, (byte)0x03};
                //get the first terminal
                TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault();

                //establish a connection with the card
                Card card = terminal.connect("*");
                CardChannel channel = card.getBasicChannel();
                //select the card app
                select(channel, aid);
                //verify pin
                verify(channel);
                 * trouble occurs here
                 * error occurs only when extracting a large data object (~12KB) from card.
                 * works fine when used on other data objects, e.g. works with biometricDataID2
                 * (data object ~1Kb) and not biometricDataID1 (data object ~12Kb in size)
                //send a "GetData" command
                System.out.println("GETDATA Command");
                ResponseAPDU response = channel.transmit(new CommandAPDU(0x00, 0xCB, 0x3F, 0xFF, biometricDataID1));

  • Recording File Size issue CS 5.5

    I am using CS 5.5, a Balckmagic Ultra Studio Pro through USB 3.0 being fed by a Roland HD Video switcher. Everything is set for 720P 60fps (59.94) and the Black Magic is using the Motion JPEG compression. I am trying to record our sermons live onto a Windows 7 machine with an Nvidia Ge-Force GTX 570, 16 GB of Ram and a 3TB internal raid array (3 drives). It usually works great but more often now when I push the stop button in the capture window, the video is not proceesed and becomes unusable. Is it a file size issue or what. I get nervous when my recording goes longer than 50 Minutes. Help

    Jim thank you for the response. I have been away and busy but getting
    caught up now.
    I do have all drives formatted as NTFS. My problem is so sporadic that I
    can not get a pattern down. This last Sunday recorded fine so we will see
    how long it last. Thanks again.

  • Templates Sizes?

    I take it Keynote only has one template size, 1024x768 4:3. Even if you make a costume size template on your desktop computer, keynote will import the template at 1024x768. So, templates with and aspect ratio of 16:9 is out of the question.
    I also notice when importing videos or photo. They are not imported at their current size. They have to be resized in keynote. Is this correct?

    I'm asking asking...

  • Windows Update Helps with File Size Issues?

    I'm just wondering if anybody has recently noticed an
    improvement related to the file size issue variously reported
    throughout the forums?
    I ask because our IT folks distributed a Windows update on 2
    days last week and since the application of those updates I have
    not experienced the freakishly large file sizes and the related
    performance issues in Captivate. Unfortunately I don't have any of
    the details of what patch(es) were installed, as it was part of our
    boot script one morning and I didn't even realize it was updating
    until I received the Reboot Now or Later alert.
    Anyway, I was curious because I have experienced significant
    performance improvement since then.

    If you are using a remote workflow ... designers are sending off-site editors InCopy Assignment packages (ICAPs) .... then they need to create assignments in order to package them for the remote InCopy user. So there's no need to split up a layout into smaller files or anything.  An assignment is a subset of the INDD file; multiple assignments -- each encompassing different pages or sections -- are created from the same INDD file.
    When the designer creates the assignment, have them turn off "Include original images in packages"; that should keep the file size down.
    Or -- like Bob said -- you can avoid the whole remote workflow/assignment package rigamarole all together by just keeping the file in a project folder in the Dropbox folder on teh designer's local hard drive, and have them share the project folder with the editors. In that workflow, editors open the INDD file on their local computer and check out stories, just as though they were opening them from a networked file server.
    I cover how the InCopy Dropbox workflow works in a tutorial video (within the Remote Workflows chapter) on Lynda.com here:

  • What am I doing wrong - size issue

    Need some advice...as usual!
    I designed a site on my 17" monitor and set the margins to 0
    and table to 100%. However when I look at it on different screens
    it looks rubbish...big gap at the bottom of the page with the
    design cramp at the top. I wonder if someone would mind looking at
    my code and see what's wrong with it. The site was designed using
    various techniques including css for nav bars, tables, and
    fireworks elements. the site can be viewed at:
    www.shelleyhadler.co.uk/nerja.html
    thanks for your help. Shell

    >Re: What ams I doing wrong - size issue.
    Several things...
    First, your 17" monitor has noting to do with web page
    layout. What
    resolution is your monitor set to? it could be 800 pixels
    wide or 1280
    pixels... wouldn't that make a difference? That aside, screen
    resolution and
    size are irrelevant anyway. What counts it eh size that your
    viewers have
    their web browser window set at.
    I have a pretty large monitor, set to a very high resolution,
    so I open
    several windows at once and size them so I can see the
    content in all.
    Sometimes my browser is full screen and sometimes its shrunk
    down to less
    than 600 x 800. Your web site needs to accommodate that.
    Every web viewer
    out there is different and likes the way they have their
    screens set up. So
    you need to be flexible and your site needs to be flexible.
    Next, Don't design in Fireworks and import to Dreamweaver.
    Fireworks is a
    superb web ready graphics and imaging processing program. The
    authors
    (mistakenly) threw in some web authoring stuff that works
    very poorly.
    Design your pages using Dreamweaver. Learn html markup and
    css styling to
    arrange it, then use Fireworks to create graphics to support
    your content.
    Along the way, be aware of the diffferant browsers in use.
    Internet
    Explorer is the most popular (or at least most in use) simply
    by virtue of
    the Microsoft market share, but it is also the least web
    complient (by virue
    of the Microsoft arrogance) so some things that work there,
    (like your green
    bands) won't on other browsers and vice versa.
    That said... graphically, your site looks great. You have a
    good eye for
    composition and simple clean design. You just need to learn
    to use html to
    your best advantage to create some realy nice looking and
    nicely working
    sites.

  • WMV and Disk Size issues

    So I am a pretty avid Encore user and I have come into some issues lately and could use some help.
    Background-
    I filmed a 14 hour conference on SD 16:9 mini dv
    I captured 14 hours with Premiere as .AVI - I edited the segments and exported as .AVI
    I used Media Encoder to convert the files to NTSC Progressive Widescreen High Quality (.m2v)   - Reduced the file size drastically
    I then used Media Encoder to convert the .m2v files to .wmv files - Reducing the conference size to 5.65 GB in total.
    I then imported the .wmv into Encore - my issues begin
    At first, Encore CS4 imported the .wmv files without a problem however the disk size (of 5.65 GB) registered in Encore as around 13 gigs???  Why is that?  The .wmv files only consume 5.65 gb on my harddrive.  Where is this file size issues coming from?
    So then Encore CS4 gets upset that I have exceeded the 8.5 DL Disk size and crashes...
    I reopen the program and try to import my .wmv files again (forgot to save like an idiot).  3 of 8 .wmv files import and then Encore starts giving me decoder errors saying I cannot import the rest of the .wmv files... 
    Can anyone help me with this issue?  Im quite confused by all of this.  Things seemed to work fine (sorta) at first and now Encore is pissed.
    I want to get this 14 hour conference on 1 DL DVD and I thought it would be as simple as getting the files reduced to a size sutable for a 8.5 gb disk.  Why is my way of thinking incorrect?
    Thanks for any help,
    Sam

    Im still not giving up....  It's become an obsession at this point.  My uncle does this with kids movies for his children.   He'll download and compress entire seasons of children shows and put them all on one dvd which he then plays in a dvd player for them to watch.  Im currently trying to get ahold of him....
    Thanks for the help
    Sam
    i've done this as well for shows that are never to be seen again for the light of day from the 80s and such... i use VSO Software's "ConvertXtoDVD v4" i ONLY use this for archival purposes of xvid or wmv or stuff that encore would throw fits over. the menus are all mainly default stock stuff. but for these projects i'm not concerned about menus or specific navigation, i just need to get the job done. i can squeeze around 15 hrs of 720x480 on one DL (it compresses the ever living dayligths out of the video... but for most of the source footage... it really doesnt matter at that point, its mostly all VHS archives i use for this program anyway) if you just absolutely HAVE to have a 1 disker, you could check that app out, burn it an see how it looks.
    edited to add: that to really squeeze crap in, you can also use a DVDFab program (any ersion should do... Older ones are cheaper) make a disc image with ConvertX, if yiu have alot f footage it may push it beyond the normal boundary of a dvd-dl and fail the burn. So then you can just import the disc image into DVDFab, and choose it to burn to a DVD-DL, and it may compress it by about 3-7% more to fit it. I would NEVER use this method EVER for a client... But if you are just hell-bent on doing 1 disk. Tries these 2 apps out. It may work out if you can live with the compression.
    if you do try this, I recommend trying this workflow. Open premiere with your first gem captured AVI. set up your chapters how you want them or whatever, then save each chapter or lecture or segment or whatever as it's own AVI. the. Import all those separately into ConvertX and set it up to play one after the other when each segment ends. [i can't confirm this 100%, because i usually drop in already compressed  files... but if for some reason it don't wanna work out... then i would  suggest dropping in the mts files instead] (if say you want a new "movie" for each lecture instead, and have chapters per movie that can be done too... But it's more work, but I can expound later if need be)  To save time on encoding, set up the menu to be the "minimalist" menu. It's strictly text. Then just create sn ISO. if you donthe full thing, I can almost guarantee you'll have to use DVDFab to burn to disc, because it'll probably be about 5-8% overburn.

    Hi all,
    Anyone have a problem when emailing from within iPhoto '11 - when I email a portrait oriented photo using the "Classic" template, the far-right margin of the blue text box seems to 'run off the page' and become invisible. So that any text I type that's up against the right hand side margin, is not visible.
    Does that make sense? Anyone with the same issue?
    James

    I'm unable to reproduce that effect.  Any portrait photo emailed in the Classic mode ends up at the left hand side of the window. No matter what size is chosen the photo fits the email window.
    Try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • ADF: Font size issue using JDEVADF_MAIN_GENERIC_070112.1145.4385

    Hi,
    Even I have the exact same issue with my jspx pages.
    I am on the EMAIGC_MAIN_LINUX label using JDEVADF_MAIN_GENERIC_070112.1145.4385
    I have a tableLayout in my template code, that I use to layout the contents of my jspx page. After I remove the <afh:tableLayout>, the following fonts are affected and work fine -
    1. The font of the top File menu that Ravi mentions below.
    2. The Navigation tree that we have on the left side of the page.
    3. The 'emptyText' of the <af:table> component.
    4. The 'help' facet of the <af:panelLabelAndMessage> component.
    If I put the tableLayout back again, the large size (16px) fonts in the above areas reappear.
    Coming back to the problem -
    Now, the Navigation tree, that I have mentioned above, helps me to navigate to a different page.
    Once, I click on the navigation tree's node to navigate to the second page, and the page loads, I find that the fonts in the above four afore-mentioned areas go back to the larger size (16px), thus making the removal of the tableLayout useless. Both the initial page and the second page use the same hierarchy of templates and styles.
    When I try loading the first/initial page again, the fonts are all fine and proper (11px).
    Can someone please help resolve this issue as this is quite a deterrent to achieving a proper looking UI.
    Please let me know if anyone needs access to my working env and jspx files.
    Thanks,
    Arya.

    Hello All,
    I have a small issue with the fonts in the presentation of my jspx pages
    The File menu on the Top turns into a larger font size when my jspx
    pages are invoked.
    So I was getting to the most basics to ensure the font size remains
    same. Removed all the components of my JSPX page came to bare minimum
    where I had a
    Just the PanelGroupLayout and TableLayout.
    In the TableLayout what I have used , If I remove the table Layout the
    fonts come correctly and If I put the tableLayout back the fonts becomes
    larger.
    1. I am not understanding if ther is any relation in using tableLayout
    inside panelGroupLayout ?? 2. How can I ensure the fonts are consistent
    with the framework. ?
    <af:panelGroupLayout id="selectPlugin_manualSelect" visible="true"
    inlineStyle="width:80%; height:100px;">
    * <trh:tableLayout borderWidth="0" inlineStyle="width:80%;
    height:100px;">
    <!-- some thing here -->
    </trh:tableLayout>*
    </af:panelGroupLayout>
    I have attached the selectPlugin.jspx where the font size is going to be
    bigger and if you remove the tableLayout in the above highlighted code
    the fonts come correctly.
    Please kindly reply.
    Thanks
    Ravi

  • ORA-00374 - Block Size issue

    I've already searched and researched this quite a bit. I am not using 9i like the other post about this issue from many years ago. Before you ask "Why a db_block_size of 32k?", this is for a test case. Simple as that.
    My system:
    Quad DC Operton, 32GB RAM, 4x 15k SAS disks in hardware RAID10.
    Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit (I much prefer Linux, but this test requires Win2008)
    Oracle 11g R2 64-bit EE
    The Disk with the O/S and ORACLE_HOME is formatted with the default 4k size allocation units.
    The allocated database file storage IS formatted with 32k sized allocation units and is on a SAN.
    I know it's 32k because when I presented the LUN to the server, I formatted it with 32k allocation units. See below the output paying attention to the * * section:
    C:\Users\********************>fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo o:
    NTFS Volume Serial Number : 0x60d245e2d245bcd2
    Version : 3.1
    Number Sectors : 0x00000000397fc7ff
    Total Clusters : 0x0000000000e5ff1f
    Free Clusters : 0x0000000000e5f424
    Total Reserved : 0x0000000000000000
    Bytes Per Sector : 512
    Bytes Per Cluster :               32768
    Bytes Per FileRecord Segment : 1024
    Clusters Per FileRecord Segment : 0
    Mft Valid Data Length : 0x0000000000040000
    Mft Start Lcn : 0x0000000000018000
    Mft2 Start Lcn : 0x0000000000000001
    Mft Zone Start : 0x0000000000018000
    Mft Zone End : 0x0000000000019920
    RM Identifier: 35506ECB-7F9E-11DF-99F3-001EC92FDE3F
    So, my db file storage is formatted with a 32k allocation size.
    My issue is this:
    Oracle shows me the 32k block size when running DBCA using the Custom template. I choose it and the other required options are configured, and when it starts building the DB, I get this:
    ORA:00374: parameter db_block_size = 32768 invalid ; must be a multiple of 512 in the range [2048..16384].
    Other responses I've seen to this says "Windows doesn't support a allocation size above 8k or 16k" which is utterly absurd since I run SQL2008 on a few machines and it DOES support up to a 64k allocation size, which is what I run. I know this for a FACT.
    Windows DOES support up to a 64k allocation size. Does anyone know why Oracle is giving me a hard time about it?
    I saw Metalink note 794842.1, but I'd like to know the reasoning/logic for this limitation?

    A WAG.. Oracle is written to be run on a wide variety of operating system. As operating systems differ one typically designs something that is equivalent in functionality to a Windows HAL - this provides an abstraction layer between the kernel services/calls that is needed by the s/w and the actual implementation of such by the kernel itself.
    So despite the kernel supporting feature X, it could be different than similar features supported on other kernels and difficult to implement via this s/w HAL-like interface. The Windows kernel has a lot of differences from the Linux kernel for example.. and somehow Oracle needs to make the same core db s/w run on both. Not unrealistic to expect that some kernel features will be supported better than others, as there is a common denominator ito design and implementation in the core s/w.
    As this is a case with block sizes... not that critical IMO. I have played with different block sizes in a 20+TB storage system and Oracle RAC (10.2g) on Linux (part of testing the combo of storage system and cluster and technologies used). Larger block sizes made zero difference to raw I/O performance. The impact was instead more a logical one. Fewer db blocks can be cached as these are larger.. more data can be written into a datablock. And as numerous experienced Oracle professionals have commented, Oracle decided that the default 8KB size is a best fit at this layer.
    So extensive and very accurate testing needs to be done IMO to determine whether a larger block size is justified... and the effort to do that may just outweigh the little gains achieved by finding the "+perfect+" block size. Why not focus all that effort instead on correctly using Oracle? Application design? Data modeling? Development and coding? These are factors that play the most dominant roles at the end of day that impact and determine performance.
