The pdf filesize is different on another Mac

I saved a pdf from Illustrator on one Mac and the pdf was7.9 Mb
The same file on another Mac in the studio created a Pdf that is 2.5 Mb. Why the difference?
The identical "user created" Acrobat settings are being used. All systems are Mavericks.
Acrobat XI.

figured it out. Didn't have the instruments downloaded on the other machine....

Downloaded mavericks for one mac can i use the same download to install on another mac

I have downloaded for 12 hours initial installation on one mac for mavericks, and all installed successfully. Rather than download again for another mac, can I use the same download and copy on to the other mac..and if yes, where will I find it?

All you need to do is go to System Preferences > App Store and uncheck the automatic install of updates box, then download the Mavericks installer, and copy to a flash drive. You will need a flash drive of 8 G B or more since the installer is around 5.3 GB. The installer will be in Finder > Applications. You can then copy that flash drive installer to the Applications folders in all the Macs you have that are capable of running Mavericks, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
When the installer runs, the last step in the installtion is for the installer to erase itself. So makng a copy before the installer runs is essential if you want to avoid redownloading.
Installing from the same installer does not cause problems for Macs on the same network.

'failed to open the PDF file' error - Indesign CS3 on Mac

Hi,
Whenever I place PDFs that were created by any other app besides indesign or Illustrator I get a 'failed to open the PDF file' error, previously these PDFs were fine to place but all of a sudden they're not... Help?
I'm not too keen on opening in Illustrator and resaving for the rest of the foreseeable future either...

Thanks for the reminder, Scott.

How can I Split the PDF File into different pages?

Hi,
My requirment is to split the pdf file , which is obtained by using FM "convert_otf" , into seperate PDF file for each employee data(PERNR).
Please suggest me the way to slipt the PDF file that has to be downloaded into the presentation server.

Hi,
Ok, looking at that programm didn't actually help me very much to understand what's going on, or where you have the CONVERT_OTF call... Regardless, if the suggestion by Raymond is not feasible in your scenario, the thing I'd try to do is - splitting the spool (OTF) contents before calling CONVERT_OTF into individual documents (feeding it to convert FM piecemeal)... The link to OTF format and commands documentation is here.
Again, it's difficult to give a good algorithm without knowing the exact OTF contents (could you perhaps somehow export the display of spool in RAW format and attach here?) but it would boil down to approximately following:
1) set the &first_page per PERNR = 1;
2) run through OTF lines until the &end_page for PERNR has been identified somehow (hopefully there are Begin/End Form OTF commands '//' in that spool... and they correspond to the split of spool you need...);
3) extract the otf contents from &first_page to the EP command of &end_page into separate OTF itab and, if necessary, add // (End of form) command at the end of itab;
4) call CONVERT_OTF on the table and download;
5) set the &first_page per PERNR = &end page + 1;
6) repeat from 2) until end of spool OTF data
Something like that... Depending how the Sapscript translates into OTF, you may also need to prepend a few commands found at the very beginning of the spool to each extracted invividual OTF document...
I Hope you can get the gist of what I'm suggesting... splitting OTF is definetly easier than trying to split PDF, I feel. It's not ideal solution, because - what if the structure of OTF contents you would be realying on changes for some reason..?
cheers

Using TWO iTunes at the same time on different monitors on Mac Pro:

Here is what I want to do:
I want to use a Mac Pro with two displays to play videos from iTunes in full screen mode on the second display while simultaneously playing music not associated with the videos on the main display.
Is this possible or do I have to get a completely separte application to play the videos on the second monitor?

I don't know of any way to get iTunes to play two different things at once, nor to get two instances of iTunes to launch at the same time. So I think you'll have to play either the music or the videos with another app.

The Domains.site2 file transferred from another mac won't open in iweb

Just transfered a Domains.site2 file from one mac to another in the applications support/iweb folder. But when I open iweb I get the error: can't read Domains.site2 file. Any thoughts on why this might be? It's a large file - over 2 gigs, transferred from an iMac running OX 10.5 to a macbook running OX 10.6
Thanks!

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Cannot print a pdf file when the pdf file is opened in another window

Running FF8.0 I cannot print a pdf file when the file is contained in a separate window opened by the appl (not just another tab). Options -> options -> applications all point to Use Adobe Applications in Firefox. I've had this problem in 7.0, 6.0, etc but I believe I was finally able to print these external browser/adobe windows somehow. Printing a pdf file shouldn't be that tough. When I run into this situation, file can be printed from the external window by IE.

Check the document properties (Security) for this file in Adobe Reader; perhaps printing is not allowed?

The pdf font quality changes if another pdf file is open, for pdfs generated by Latex Beamer

Hi There,
I create pdf presentation files using Latex Beamer. I see a strange behavior when I open the file with Adobe reader to read it. If another pdf file is already open, the quality of the font is good but the shadow of the boxes disappears. If no other pdf file is open, the shadow box is good but the font has a low quality.
Does anyone know about this problem?
Thanks
Kaveh

Kaveh,
I am having a similar issue with PDFs i create from Photoshop and added links in Acrobat. The quality of the text was changing on me and I hadnt realized it was when I had more than one PDF open.
Please let em know if you come to any resolution on this.
Thanks,
Jamie

Is it possible to copy the configuration of phone set to another MAC adress?

Hi
I have a white coloured 9951 phone set with expansion module And we have lots of button configurations on the device. But now we should change the device because of the color. I mean we will use another 9951 device.
Is there an easy way to copy the configuration to this new mac adress phone set?

Hi,
It is possible using the Super Copy option. To copy an existing phone and copy the directory numbers, speed dials, busy lamp field/speed dials, and service URLs that are associated with the phone, locate the appropriate phone as described in "Finding a Phone" section, click the Super Copy button next to the phone that you want to copy, and continue with Step 5.

Accessing Voice Memos from iPhone when the iPhone is Sync'd to another Mac

Don't know if this is possible but...
- Have an iPhone 4 sync'd to my home iMac and iTunes account - all good with lots of music sync'd (~16Gb worth)
- Want to use the Voice Memo functionality for recording work stuff
- Want to download/sync these Voice Memos to my work MacBook Pro that I have already authorised to access my home iTunes store account
When I attempt to sync music (only selecting 'Selected Playlists..." and check Include voice memos) I get a message stating that "all my current music will be replaced with songs from your iTunes library".......of which there are no songs on my Work MacBook Pro. So in effect I would lose all music already on my iPhone.
So it seems that I can only utilise the voice memos functionality (ie: download the voice files to a mac) on my iPhone 4 on the Mac/iTunes it is originally sync'd with. Seems rather counterproductive to me.
Does anyone know a way to do this without having to use third party software?
Thanks in advance!

An alternative would be to switch to manual management of your iPhone.

What's the best way to clone to another Mac with the same system id so I do not have to re-authorize plugins/programs?

I was told in a different thread that cloning is my answer for my problem. Once learning that, I checked around and saw people suggesting Super Duper over the Disk Utility option, saying that I will not have to re-authorize my programs. That it's the easiest way to clone one computer to the next without the hassle of having to reauthorizing all my programs and plugins. Is this true?

Clones are clones. SuperDuper does nothing special that Disk Utility does not do.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new computer. Source means the old computer.
You can connect the two via Firewire cable if both computers have Firewire ports. If not, then you will need to use an external hard drive as an intermediary. Clone the old computer's drive to the external drive. Then restore the clone from the external drive to the drive in the new computer.
Restoring the clone simply involves switching the Source and Destination.

Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?

Q. Can I use the grey coloured System Restore discs that shipped with Mac A to install OS X onto Mac B?
A. In most cases, due to technical and licensing reasons, the answer is no. The answer is definitely no if any of the following apply:
Any part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
The OS on the disc is any version of Leopard (10.5.x), or is any version of Tiger later than 10.4.42
Either of the two Macs has an Intel processor3
The system restore discs from Mac A contain an older version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
However, an installation attempt may be successful, and compliant with all OS X licensing terms, if all of the following conditions are met:
No part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
The OS on the disc is Tiger 10.4.3 or earlier, or is an earlier version of OS X (10.3.x, 10.2.x, etc)2
Both Mac A and Mac B have PowerPC processors (G3, G4, or G5)3
The system restore discs from Mac A contain a newer version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
All terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement are followed, particularly sections 2 and 3 regarding permitted usage and transfer.
Even if all the above conditions are met, software restore discs contain computer-specific releases of Mac OS X, and may not install or work properly on a Mac that has a hardware configuration that is significantly different than the original.
Notes
The license agreement for single user copies of all versions of OS X, including all versions that ship on system restore discs, do not permit any part of the software to be installed or used on more than one computer at the same time.
The provision restricting the use of grey coloured system restore discs to the same Mac with which they shipped was introduced with the 10.4.4 Software License Agreement, and has been carried through to the 10.5 Leopard Software License Agreement. This restriction was not present in the Software License Agreement for earlier versions of Tiger, nor for earlier versions of Mac OS X.
All Macs with Intel processors shipped with a Mac OS X EULA restricting usage of the software restore discs to that Mac only. The license that shipped with G3, G4, or G5 Macs that shipped with 10.4.3 or earlier permit the transfer of OS X to another Mac, provided that all terms of the license agreement are followed. Furthermore, the architecture of PowerPC and Intel systems are incompatible enough that neither platform's system restore discs will install on the other.
Mac OS X system software will not properly run on, and may not even install on, any Mac that is newer than it, because the software lacks the hardware drivers to run properly on the newer hardware. Details are in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

Gray Install Discs are Machine specific, so even if both were Intel iMacs they'd have to be the same Models.
Leopard 10.5.x is another possible option besides Tiger/10.4.x.
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
* A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
* DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
* At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...

Or Ali Brown's great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10381710#10381710
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

Import messages from another mac

I have a laptop pismo G3 running OS10.3. I want to import the mail messages I have on another mac which is running IS 10.4.11. Is this possbile? I tried to connect with the laptop and it would not let me choose the mailbox so then I copied the mailbox folder from my user account on the 10.4 mac to the laptop and then imported but all I got was empty mailboxes, no messages. Am I doing something wrong or is this impossible to do because of the different versions of software and operating systems? Thanks for the help.
Dave

I would try using Migration Assistant on the 10.4 to get the 10.3 Mailboxes.
