There's no proper way to export charts to PDF in numbers 3

In Numbers 09, there're at least two ways.
1. copy the chart and paste to preview with `New from clipboard`, although this has some bugs on the chart format
2. Copy to pages, export as RTFD, and extract the pdf in the package.
However, when upgraded to the new iWork,
these two ways are ruled out.
1. Seems preview doesn't recognize the new format of the iwork content, so `New from clipboard` results in a blurry image instead of a vectorgraph like pdf.
2. The exporting to RTFD functionality has been removed.
I don't understand why apple is doing this, and I wonder is there any proper way to export to a high-resolution PDF from the charts?

Print the page/sheet and select "Print PDF to Preview" instead of actually printing. 
In Preview, use the rectangular selection tool to select the chart
Copy
New from Clipboard
That will create a PDF vector image of the chart. It is a few more steps than in Numbers '09 but it does give you all the pieces of the chart (unlike Numbers '09),

  • "Proper" way to export 5.1 surround tracks thru Compressor

    I did a quick search for this topic and couldn't find anything that really fit.
    I just finished a concert video (using 3 cameras and FCP's multiclips!) and was provided 6 tracks of AIFF audio (5.1 formatted) by the sound engineer. Everything syncs up perfectly, but to create an AC3 file, I did the following and am wondering if there was a better way to do this:
    I exported each audio of the 6 clips, one at a time, with the Compressor and the Batch monitor into AIFFs.
    Then I used Compressor and the Batch monitor again and manually assigned the 6 tracks into their respective channels. I then outputted a 5.1 AC3 file and everything sounds great and is still in sync.
    Question: Was that the best way??
    TIA

    You could try this.
    if you are using FCP 5, first set your channel outputs from the sequence settings window.
    (it's good idea to work with a duplicate of your project and label it as your surround project)
    Highlight your sequence in the browser, press Apple+0 (zero)
    to open the sequence settings window.
    Open the "Audio Outputs" tab and choose the number and type
    of outputs that you need. (if you don't have a 6 channel output card
    FCP will issue a warning after you click OK, just ignore)
    You will have to set your audio track outputs to the proper channels
    in yout sequence timeline.
    Export your timeline audio as AIFF(s) grouped.
    A full expanation starts at Chapter IV page 152 of your online
    manual. You really need to read those pages.
    There's more to it than this simplified outline.

  • Is there a way to export 2 different pdf's in one export command? Mac IND CS3

    Hi. I was just wondering if there is a way, via script or some other way to export my layouts done in Adobe InDesign CS3 (Mac) into two different kinds of pdf's - one in low-resolution pdf, and onother in press ready high resolution pdf -- both done in one command? What I am doing now is export first as low res, then export again using high-res settings. I haven't got time to study scripting yet, so if there is a script available, or a shortcut command, that would save me valuable time everyday. Thanks!

    There's no way to do this automatically in Indesign.
    What I do is export the file as a high res PDF. It opens automatically in Acrobat. Then I choose "Advanced:PDF Optimizer," where I've set up a profile that creates a low-res version, and I save that with a different name. That gives considerable control, but probably is as much work as what you do, although it might be slightly faster.

  • Proper way to export for iWeb usage

    I'm trying to get my short film or even a trailer of it into iWeb. The film itself is about 12 mins and the .mov file created when I exported it as a Quicktime movie is 670MB. I shortened it down to about a minute trailer. The corresponding .mov files for Quicktime export and Quicktime conversion were about 187MB and 65MB respectively. It seems that for iWeb to play the film it needs to be a mere 10MB. Sure enough the film stutters and stops and is unwatchable. Suggestions? Thanks. Fred

    Try this work flow.
    Export using quicktime conversion, change the settings to match these.
    Compression Type = H.264
    Frame Rate = Current
    Key Frame = 24
    Frame Reorder = yes
    Data Rate = Restrict bit rate to 1500 kbits/sec (this is important for web videos, keeps the file sizes small, while still maintaining, video quality)
    Quality = High
    Encoding = Best (multi-pass)
    Dimensions = 853x480 (I shoot in HD 1080, and have found that on the web, 853x480 looks best, if you need other dimensions you can pick one of the presets that suits you video or experiment till you find what looks best)
    Sound ACC, 48.000khz, stereo, bit rate 128kbps
    Prepare for internet streaming = Fast Start
    This should reduce your files to a manageable size. The iWeb 10MB warning is just that, a warning. I have several videos on my site that are 100mb and larger. I build on iWeb and upload to a third party FTP server. Feel free to check out my results at
    www.karma180.com
    A bit of info about youTube. As I understand it, the current upload limits for youTube are;
    Video Length = 10 Minutes
    File Size = 1 gig
    Youtube uses their own compression, so send them the highest quality file you can, they prefer these Video Formats: H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4
    So stay under 10 minutes and try to export a big file thats under 1 gig and your videos will look spectacular on You Tube.
    Ok, I hope that helps. Good Luck

  • Is there a way to export to separate folders based on collection organization?

    I am wondering if there is a simple way to export photos from lightroom into seperate folders based on collections.
    For example, in LR5, I have collection set "2014". Within "2014", there are sub-collections Jan, Feb, March... and so on. How can I export all the photos, at once, from the "2014" collection set so they end up in a folder structure that mirrors the collection set and sub-collections. My collection is more complex and contains many more sub-collections than the example provided, so I would really like to avoid having to export each sub-collection separately.
    In searching for this, I found mention of some sort of plug-in that apparently was capable of this, but I could not get it to work. The GUI was not intuitive and I didn't have time to learn it. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the plug-in since I deleted it. But is there any way to do this without having to learn code or install plug-ins?

    Ordinary hard drive service will export into disk folders in tree structure which mirrors hierarchy of publish collections.
    I had always assumed (wrongly) this was NOT the case, otherwise what is the purpose of Jeffrey Friedl's Collection Publisher?
    Jim Wilde pointed out my erroneous assumption, and said there are advantages to Jeffrey's plugin, but I don't know what they are (probably the ability to have different settings per collection and dunno what else...). Or maybe jf's collection publisher will export in structure of non-publish collections so you don't have to re-define a matching set of published collections - I really don't know.
    Bottom line: if your needs are simple enough, Hard Drive publish service may be all you need.

  • Export charts

    Hi,
    Is there a way to export charts with Design Studio? We can export to excel, but it is only crosstabs.
    Any idea how we can export charts?
    Sonni

    Hi Sonni,
    At present, there is no way to export either a chart itself, or the data linked to a chart with Design Studio. However, if you mean that you want the data within a chart exported into an excel file there is a workaround - you will be able to assign the data source used by a chart to a crosstab, set the visibility of that crosstab to false (in case you do not want the crosstab itself displayed on your application), and still be able to export the data using APPLICATION.export().
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the proper way to open the app store  for ios

    Using Air3.1 to develope a game.
    I want to have links on my main menu which will open the iOS app store for a specific application.
    The only way I have found to do this is by opening a url "http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=<THEAPPIDHERE>&mt=8"
    However, while this does work, so to speak, when I try to go back to the application, it starts up as if it had crashed... and it does several "redirects" before it get's where it is eventually going.

    $ sudo pacman -Syu nvidia-libgl
    But new nvidia (pkgrel >= 2) has libgl as a dependency, so it seems your repo is not (yet) updated. If it is, then the command is:
    $ sudo pacman -Syu

  • Export from Acrobat PDF to HTML

    Is there any reliable way to export an Acrobat PDF file to HTML uising Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When I try to do it from Acrobat, I get:
    Tables that are a total, horrendous mess, nothing at all like the tables in the original Pdf.
    Text that is randomly surrounded, for no apparrent reason, with span tags and completely worthless CSS. A single, uninterrupted sentence can have four or five spans, all with different CSS classes for no apparent reason. When you look at the four or five CSS classes, they all have the same, identical style attributes.
    Exporting it to RTF results in a mess that is no less horrendous.
    What I'm trying to do is take some rather lengthy PDFs (200 pages or more each) and use them as input to a RoboHelp WebHelp project. However, the output, whether I try an import into RoboHelp, an export from Acrobat Professional Extended, or one of several third party PDF converters is all so horrendous that it would be easier to completely retype the the 200 pages times sixteen or so documents than to attempt to cleanup the horrendous mess that results from an Acrobat export.
    Why can't Adobe get their products to work together? At this pont, I've just about reached the conclusion that it is very clear that nother should ever, for any reason, under any circumstances be converted to PDF unlesss you absolutely have the documents in the original format locked up someplace because you can never get anything meaningful and transportable out of Acrobat. Please tell me that, in this day and time, the Acrobat PDF files can actually be converted in a meaningful way.

    That's very true. However, you can create RTF documents with Word and WordPerfect and in this day and time, virtually everyone can read those, while they are ultimately transportable to a whole wide variety of formats, including HTML, without any significant degradation. If Adobe can't make PDFs transportable between document types in the same way, why on earth would anyone ever use the PDF format. All this hoopla about embedding video, sound, etc. is pretty much nonsense. You can pretty much do that in RTF, and few if any actually want to do it anyway.
    All I can say is, why does Adobe advertise that you can export to file types such as HTML and RTF from Acrobat PDFs when you obviously can't. Why do they include the options on their menus. This is obviously a case of false and misleading advertisement. This is the day and time of transportable documents. Adobe has chosen to make Acrobat Pro an anachronistic and archaic dinosaur.
    Once again, why create PDFs when they have such limited usefulness.

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

    I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record of the articles I intend to read?

    I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list.  It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
    Let's see what we can find.  I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

  • Is there a way to export videos and retain geotag/time changes?

    I'm in the process of exporting all my photos & videos from one Mac to another (I want to avoid migrating everything with the migration assistant...) through an external hard drive, which will also serve as my central photo/video location - this way I can lend it to my friends so they can import events to their Macs.
    Anyway, I've made substantial changes to my photos and videos throughout the years, mostly around location geotagging and adjusting time and date info.
    When exporting my events, I'm choosing the following settings:
    Kind:              JPEG
    JPEG Quality: High
    Include:         Title and keywords (check)
                           Location information (check)
    Size:               Full Size
    File Name:     Use Filename
    This has worked great for all my photos, as they retain all the date/time and geotag changes I've made.
    However, this doesn't work for videos... a small file of a few hundred KB gets created for each video, but it's basically just an image of the first frame.
    The only way to export my videos in full has been to change the "Kind" option above to "Original".
    This works fine to create a file for each video in full, however none of the geotag or time/date changes are retained.
    It looks like iPhoto is simply dumping a copy of the original video files without updating the timestamp or geotag info.
    Is there a known way to do this with iPhoto? If not, how about other software?
    Thanks!
    -Marc

    I see, thanks for the clarification.
    Well that's my current problem actually, as I have a bunch of photos in my library that were imported at times when I did NOT have the "copy to library when importing" setting checked.
    The original files (the full-size photos themselves) are all over the place, and some are on my external hard drive. So in order to consolidate everything, I'd like to export ALL the photos from my library to just *one* location.
    Trouble is, I won't have enough space on the new MacBook to import everything into the internal SSD...
    I noticed when playing around with various export settings that the size of the exported photos vary dramatically based on the "quality" setting, even if the "size" setting is always "full size".
    It's even creating files that are larger than the originals if I select the "Maximum" quality setting! But if I select the next lower one, which is "High", the files end up being smaller than the originals by about 25-30%.
    Do you know if there's a significant loss i quality when I pick "High" instead of "Maxiumum? (FYI the original files are all JPEG images, taken with various cameras from 2G iPhone and several point-and-shoots, to high-end digital SLR with glass lenses).

  • Is there a way to export an iTunes playlist from a windows XP pc and import on an iMac?

    I have a PC running Windows XP that I've had for many years. I just got an iMac and want to make that my main music source for syncing iPods, playing,music in the house, etc. I have a lot of playlists on the old PC that I want to move over to the iMac and I don't have to rebuild them all by hand. Is there a way to export the original playlists from the Windows PC and import them to the iMac since the file systems are different? Thanks.

    The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
    The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
    Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
    That's how the software is designed to work.
    What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
    But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
    If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
    1. If it's just text
    If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
    2. You can use InCopy
    This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
    3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
    http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
    There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
    For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
    But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete  waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.

  • Is there a way to export the coord data of AE objects in 3D space? (for programmers)

    Hey guys, we're making a video that will mostly be a fixed camera view but have objects animate around this view. The priority is the audio; the objects that animate will sound like they are flying around the camera's point of view (the user when they're using headphone). Since I will be animating the objects inside After Effects and already be assigning them X,Y, & Z coordinates during the animation, is there any way to take the data of the objects location through time to give to the programmers so they can assign the audio/attributes to the objects moving around in the scene? Sort of like how if I made a null object in AE, I can have it be the parent to another layer(s), I need to find a way to make this same concept work but for audio and other assigned attributes. It seems it would save us a lot of time if this is possible instead of figuring out where the sound is coming from later on by scratch and guessing. If there are other programs that can do this please let me know, I do use Maya and other 3D apps. Thanks!

    Perhaps there is a way to export the javascript as a text file or some format useful to your programmers.
    Can you give more details as to your end result and starting point?  You mentioned you use other 3D programs.  Maya used to have in Maya 4.0 a way to dynamically animate according to audio.  Other 3D programs still offer this functionality through their scripting and/or interface.
    Flash Pro has 3D layers and if your animations are short enough you might be able to do the project in Flash and access the SoundChannel aspects of ActionScript 3.0 .  AE uses a version of Javascript.  There might be a way in the AE Scripting reference to read objects within the file and a method in the scripting to export these objects.  I'm only guessing since I don't know how to script in AE but I see no one has replied to this thread and I was curious myself.

Maybe you are looking for
