Text / forward and business card

I know that the iPhone can't forward texts or send business cards via SMS. I have been through the Apps store and can't find anything that will solve this. Does anyone know of anything on the horizon to correct this or of any available apps?
p.s. I am aware of the email apps that are available to send business cards but I'm specifically looking for SMS.

In that case, since you are addressing your question to iPhone App developers, your posting would fit better in the Developer Forums at:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=164
This forum is for end users, and as such, we don't know. And speculation is outside the TOS of these forums, which is why you received the first response.

SMS forwarding and Business Cards ?

Does anyone know if Apple ever plans to update the SMS with the ability to forward messages and also send contact info...?
I cant seem to find any news in this area - been waiting a long time for a solution on this but seems like there is no word about this in their upcoming firmwares.

Yeah - but its been over a year since the iphone came out and seems like one of the fundamental issues with the SMS program is not even being addressed
I'd just like to know from anyone if it is ever going to come and if so how soon...
I know I probably wont get any answers but I thought Ill just put it out there incase someone wants to speculate...at this stage even that will suffice

Burning 80mm and business card discs. And DVD-R DL Drives

Two questions, does DVDSP 4 support and Mac G5 burn the small discs? I guess it is 80mm size and business card discs. Also, is there a DVD-R DL external drive out yet? I have had trouble playing back the smaller discs in certain players.

I believe that DVDSP4 has a setting in the Inspector for the disc in general (e.g., where you'd type the name of the disc). There should be an option for 12cm and 8cm. This probably just adjusts the capacity meter at the top, though.
The PowerMac's tray loading DVD drive should have no problem burning or reading the 8cm discs. There's actually a space on the tray for these discs.
Do not try to use the 8cm discs in a slot-loading drive, like those of the PowerBook/iBook or the iMac. The disc will go in, but won't come out without disassembling the drive.
The Pioneer DVR-110D is a DVD-R DL burner. I don't know that this format is supported by Apple's frameworks (DVD+R DL is), but Toast should be able to write these discs just fine. You could put one of these in an external case if you like. OWC has these drives in external FireWire cases. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/

Can I edit/replace the text of a business card I scanned as a pdf?

I'm using PSE 9 on Windows XP with SP3.
My wife and I are in an organization called Love on a Leash which brings dogs to people in
hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, etc. They have a very nice business card
that we can use on the visits. I scanned in the card for our chapter leader into Acrobat.
Then I opened that pdf in PSE. All I really need to do is change the name, e-mail and
phone number and we would be set. But I thought before I started hunting and pecking I'd
post to see if there was an easy/best way to accompish that task.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Hey, I tried that and that worked great.
I hadn't used the Clone Stamp tool before.
Thanks for the tip.
I also found a way to duplicate the color (I think).
When I started the Text Tool, I clicked in the box in the tool bar that has a bubble that says 'Set the text color'.
That brings up the Select the color window.
From there I can navigate out to my card image and the pointer changes to the Eyedropper.
There I can pick up a drop of the color that I need. Another problem solved!

I just want to type text onto photo business card

I just want to type text across photo
making a business card
thank you

On the introductory window, also make sure you pick from the top choices under Word Processing - I just use "Blank". If you choose the Blank under the sedon set (page layout), you will have to get a text box. I use that setting if I have a lot of images I want to insert and then have text around/near the images.
See my screenshot here:
When you're done with that page, it should automatically move to the next one or you can choose another blank page in the pulldown in the toolbar.

Using Final Cut Logo on Business Card

I am a video editor of trainer of Final Cut Pro and I am currently designing a new business card. Does anyone know the legality of including the Final Cut Logo on the business card(i.e. the Final Cut Studio Box image or a screenshot from within the program). I would love to use these images if possible as it tells prospective clients a lot without getting too wordy.
Any thoughts or ideas,
Much obliged,
Adam

As an Apple Certified Pro end-user for both Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro I can confirm that you do in fact need to be a certified pro in order to use the Apple logo on your business card/website. And you can only use one logo despite multiple certifications.
When you pass the certification exam they Email you a link where you can download the logos and there's also a form that explains how and where you can use the logos. You also get a nifty certificate in the mail that you can frame and hang in your office. FWIW you can not use the logo on a resume. Only websites and business cards, in this instance. (you can use the Apple Authorized reseller/etc. logos on ads too)
Hope this helps you out...
Answered?
P.S. My Motion certification is next on the list oh and I challenged the exams also (not to brag or anything, but I earned it)

Printing of a logo and text on business cards, paper, etc.

Dear reader(s),
Let me introduce myself; my name is Matthew Hennessy from the Netherlands and I mostly PhotoShop, Illustrate for a hobby (for the last 5 years).
In the past 5 years I have learned a lot when it comes to designing, but this isn't enough. A few weeks ago my boss asked me to design a new logo and new text, with the intention of using it on business cards, brief paper and envelopes.
Now here comes the part you have seen coming, I really need to know a few things about the printing process, and the settings necessary to make a 'print ready' file. I have already done some research, but still some things are very unclear to me. If any answers could be given to the following questions, that would be more than appreciated!
Questions:
1. Crop marks - I have seen a lot of tutorials on the internet where people refer to 'crop marks', why are these necessary? What are they? What are they used for? How can I set the preferences and how can I see if I use the 'crop marks' correctly?
2. Trim marks - I have seen a few people talking about this. Are 'trim marks' the same as 'crop marks'?
3. Bleeding - this is something I really try to figure out, and already did my best but I'm not getting any wiser! Example given of my problem:
I'm planning to (when this comes to an end), order business cards, brief paper and envelopes on Vistaprint (Dutch site). The preferred size is 1. 90mm x 52mm (complete document) or 2. 87mm x 49mm (cut off).
What is the difference between these two sizes? I suppose this has something to do with the bleeding, but what?
Now this is what confuses me, and I don't think I'm the only one:
3.1. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'complete document' measurements 90mm x 52mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
3.2. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'cut off document' measurements 87mm x 49mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
4. Is there a checklist or anything to do this perfectly? As you can imagine I don't want to mess this up.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, e-mail contact would be great too: [email protected]
Thank you for reading, I will be around to look for replies! Thanks again!
- Matthew

1. Crop marks - I have seen a lot of tutorials on the internet where people refer to 'crop marks', why are these necessary? What are they? What are they used for? How can I set the preferences and how can I see if I use the 'crop marks' correctly?
Forget so-called "Crop Marks." Crop Marks and Crop Region are Illustrator-specific terms. It's an Illustrator feature that creates a set of (grossly oversized) printable marks on the Artboard for the printing house to use as trim indicators and/or (depending on version) to define a region for output when you export the file in certain formats. Other programs in Illustrator's genre don't even have this feature because it's really not necessary. Historically, it was Illustrator's workaround for its lack of a proper bleed feature and single-page limitation. I never even use Illustrator's Crop Marks. If I want trim marks to print, I simply draw my own.
Trim marks is an industry term. Trim marks are short hairlines which align to the edges at which you want the paper to be trimmed after printing, but are placed outside the actual trim rectangular area so that they get trimmed away. In most projects destined for offset printing, it's a good practice to draw proper trim marks in the bleed area of the page. The print dialog also provides a Printer Marks feature that will cause trim marks (among other things) to print outside the Artboard. (You don't need to worry about that in this scenario.)
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
2. Trim marks - I have seen a few people talking about this. Are 'trim marks' the same as 'crop marks'?
So as explained above, Illustrator Crop Marks is an Illustrator feature commonly used to draw trim marks. I don't use that feature. It wastes space.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
3. Bleeding - this is something I really try to figure out, and already did my best but I'm not getting any wiser! Example given of my problem:
Bleed is an industry term that simply means you want ink to print "right to the edge of the paper." That's not actually possible on a commercial offset press. So if the design requires "right to the edge of the paper" printing, you cheat: You print on a larger-than-final-size sheet, put trim marks to indicate the final size of the piece, and design so that anything that is supposed to "print to the edge" actually extends beyond those trim marks. Theoretically, if the physical processes of commercial printing were perfect, you could draw your design "just to" the trim. But paper expands and shrinks with humidity changes, Press sheets jog around a bit as they get picked up by the suction lifts and grippers and shoved and squished between the rollers. (It's a mechanical miracle that the process works at all, and has for over a century. A full-size CMYK offset sheetfed press is a marvelous piece of engineering.) After printing and drying the sheet is trimmed at the trim marks, and the artwork that extends beyond the trim marks is chopped off.
Typically in commercial offset printing, 1/8 inch of "extra artwork" beyond the trim is sufficient to allow for the inaccuracies of the process.
Now here's the thing: If you are working in the traditonal manner with a commercial printing house, you know the press size and sheet size that will be used for the project. You can do all kinds of things at the design stage to minimize unnecessary work at the printing house by "designing for the press sheet." For example, in the press houses with which I work, I would never deliver a business card project output file as a single-card image on a single-card-sized page. No conventional offset printer is going print business cards one-card-at-a-time on 3.5 x 2 inch sheets. They are going to "gang" (step & repeat) multiple images of the card on one press sheet.
Typically, I would know in advance the press sheet size that is going to be used and the necessary space for gripper and press sheet margins. I would set up the software page to the size of the press sheet and arrange multiple instances of the card in that space. I would draw my own trim marks for each card in the array. If the sheet size is such that it will result in alot of paper just going in the waste bin, I may design some other piece in the otherwise unused area (a bookmark or hangtag, for example) and thereby get an "almost free" second document out of the press run. If the cards is designed to be printed on both sides, I will often arrange the page to accommodate "work and turn" printing, wherein both sides of the card gets printing on one side of the sheet, the sheets are simply flopped over and run through the press again. That avoids the need for a second press setup.
But since everybody and his third cousin's nephew is now a "designer," many printing houses have set up "click & drag" printing solutions on the web. Such solutions make it "quick & easy" (not necessarily cheaper) for the neophyte and "idiot proof" for the printer by removing the above-described flexibility and designing "one size fits all" workflows. That's what you're chasing with the Vistaprint vendor.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I'm planning to (when this comes to an end), order business cards, brief paper and envelopes on Vistaprint (Dutch site). The preferred size is 1. 90mm x 52mm (complete document) or 2. 87mm x 49mm (cut off).
What is the difference between these two sizes? I suppose this has something to do with the bleeding, but what?
In the Vistaprint .ai template for design-your-own business cards I just downloaded to see what you're talking about, they have the artboard set to accommodate a design with bleed. You don't have to design bleeding elements, but the space is there if you do.
The AI Artboard (page) is 90 x 52 mm. Think of that as your bleed area. If there are elements in your design that you want to "print to the edge" of the finished card, draw them all the way to the edges of the Artboard. The printer is, in effect, telling you that if you do that, then you will be providing enough "extra" artwork to accommodate the inherent variances in the printing/triming process.
The (grossly overthick) 87 x 49mm red rectangle is the trim. So it effectively is the "trim marks". It represents the final card after it is trimmed down to final size. That's the size your cards will be when delivered. That roughly coresponds to the 3.5 x 2 inch dimensions that are considered the norm in the US. I don't know about what's the convention in Europe, but assuming it is the same as in the US, that's the size you want the cards to be. Business cards that are even slightly oversized usually end up in the trash can because they often don't fit pockets in card-carriers or plastic sleeves.
The (grossly overthick) blue rectangle is the so-called "safe area". That's nothing more than a suggested "safe design margin" between your artwork and the trim. The idea is that you are supposed to keep any elements of the design that you don't want to risk getting "too close" to the edges of the final piece--or even getting chopped off by the trim--within that rectangle. Magazines and newspapers are also fond of providing "safe area" in their add space specs. I ignore them. I know what kind of visual "margins" I want in my designs and I know when I am risking getting too close to the trim. But an amateur designer may think it brilliant to "make a title as big as possible" and actually crowd text almost right up against the trim (in other words, poor design). Then he gets upset when the normal variance in the printing/trimming process causes the text to actually get cut on some of the finished pieces. By providing that rectangle, the printer is telling you "Don't blame us if some of your artwork is too close to the trimmed edge if you place that artwork beyond this rectangle."
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
3.1. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'complete document' measurements 90mm x 52mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
3.2. I made a new document in Illustrator CS5, with the 'cut off document' measurements 87mm x 49mm (300DPI, CMYK). Do I need to input bleeding before I push ok?
In the "idiot proof" template that Vistaprint has provided, they are treating the Artboard size as the bleed, and the red rectangle as the trim. So there is no need for you to include trim or bleed marks in your design.
Just set up your AI document exactly as the template that Vistaprint provided. Better, actually use their document file and paste your artwork into it on the Layer named "Your Design". When arranging your artwork, leave the (poorly named) "Guides" Layer visible, but locked. Make any art elements (background fills, etc.) that you want to "print to the edge" of the finished card extend all the way to the Artboard edge. Keep all other design elements within the "safe margin" blue rectangle.
All this is explained, by the way, in the See Accepted File Types link on the Vistaprint site.
When done, delete the Layer named "Gudies." Deliver the file to the printer. I would not deliver the .ai file; I would deliver a PDF. If you insist on delivering as an .ai file, convert all text to paths (a practice I despise). If you deliver as PDF, simply choose File>Save A Copy... in Illustrator. In the resulting dialog, select Adobe PDF as the file type. In the next dialog, leave the top menu set to Illustrator Defaults, but set the compatibility popup to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3). That should be fine.

Using illustrator How do I import a PDF Business Card and Edit

Hi I have a sheet of business card that was saved as a PDF file. I need to be updated with info extract the logo and keep it separate. I want to how to import the PDF file then edit all the images text.
Can this be done.
Thanks

I did this I see a light blue X over the entire image when my cursor is over it. I'm stuck at this initial stage, cause I can't isolate the logo or text for edit. I'm not sure what to do here and I'm not sure if this was done in illustrator.

Color issues with Business Cards and Vista Print (Ps & Ai)

So I use Vista Print for my business cards, quick, easy and affordable.
I had some graphics that could not be reproduced in Ai very easily so I downloaded the Vista Print .PSD template and worked off of that.
When the cards came in color was correct but the font was not good. Not very clear and there was digital noise around the edges, so not crisp.
So I downloaded the Ai template from VP, reproduced the card in Ai and just dropped the logo in on the canvas and redid all the text in Ai.
When I got these cards in, the font looked much better and crisp, but all my colors were off. My navy blues were not navy-purplish looking. Side by side, it was a big difference.
I didn't change any color profiles I even made sure the CMYK values from the original photoshop file matched exactly to the Ai file.
So question is, why would the Ai file print differently if the CMYK color values were the exact same? It makes no sense to me. Was it perhaps how I saved the Ai files? There are so many options when saving it's a bit overwhelming.

Believe it or not, the Vista Print cards could be color copies. Try and post a screen shot of each card so we can see the differences. Not sure how you proofed the card redo out of Illustrator and/or what you used to print the redo card. The problem with Vista Print is quality control. You say the card color is accurate in the VP cards. However, did you proof the card before sending it to VP? If you did, how?

Country and timezone info on business card?

Lately I saw a thread on ALT texts for the flag image on the business card.
In addition to that I would like to suggest that the country name and timezone are printed next to the flag. Knowing the timezone of other posters may help to steer expectations about response times.

Actually in an odd way I like looking up flags, it has a little educational value in it. Without SCN I wouldn't be able to tell you off the top of my head that Iceland is a blue flag with a red cross.
A quick trick for flags is r-click -> properties, get two letter iso code from end of address (use mouse selection to scroll to end), look up in T005 if necessary.
However I think the timezone is an excellent suggestion! Perhaps also with an offset to one's own timezone?
Cheers,
Mike

Best business and greeting card software

Are there any suggestions out there for the best business and greeting card software for MacBook? I used to get PrintMaster, but I used that on my Windows side and would now prefer to use an Apple-based program. Thank you.

I don't think that this is the answer you were expecting, but, after trying various print programs, and not getting the look I wanted, I signed up for an online system called SendOutCards. You can personalize real greeting cards printed on recycled paper with pictures you upload, text and art. The system prints, stuffs, addresses and stamps the envelope and puts it into snail mail for you. You can have it sent directly to the recipient or to you to hand to the recipient. You can even include gift cards and the like.
A personalized card costs about $1 plus postage. Much easier than fiddling with art layouts, special paper, colored ink etc. You can even try the SendOutCards system for free. Videos and information on the website:
www.sendoutcards.com/b2b
Hope this helps.
PS The SendOutCards system does not support flash, but, there are some workarounds that are easy for use with Apple products. Contact me if you have any questions. I use it in both my personal and business lives and it is wonderful

N8 -text recognizer & business card reader

If I go to my pictures, hold select, choose 'send' I get the options 'to text recognizer'' and 'to business card reader'. When I choose any of these I get the 'feature not supported'. Is there any away to get thhese features working?

What software version are you running on your Nokia N8-00 ?
You can find out by choosing Call -> and typing *#0000#
As standard there should not be the Options -> send to 'business card reader', or 'to text recognizer''
It sounds like you have installed some third party software on your phone, that have OCR features, and that added these options to your Send menu, much like Pixelpipe does.
I would recommend that you check your installed programs and look for something called businesses card reader, or document scanner or similar. If you find out what third party software that gives you these options, its easier to help you.
