I think your definition of "mainstream" to include the people who read academic journals with references is perhaps a bit one-sided.  It sounds a good idea for a plug-in, but how much do you think people would pay for it? How big is the market - what is the business case?
Arguably the biggest problem is that the people who make these articles aren't using hyperlinking, which has been in PDF the best part of 20 years already. [Added] So if they aren't doing that how much could we expect them to do something else?

  • Crucial time for Adobe and PrP

    With the release of Avid 6, the next few months are a crucial time for Adobe to implement some damage control to deal with the recurring issues that the general population are experiencing. (for details just read this and Adobe forum list for the last 4 weeks.)
    I am beginning to hear die hard switchers seriously considering now switching to Avid. Many of these are facility based, but lots of individuals as well. Reliable playback, monitoring, tape based ingest are just a few of the issues that converts are growing increasingly weary off.
    I mean no disrespect to Adobe, but if some steps arent taken to somehow address these issues, I really see the professional community passing PrP by and going to Avid. Adobe , you had a great opportunity to broaden your scope and user base. This opportunity wont happen again.

    putting things in perspective for market share and global economy....
    how to survive as a 'company' making software for everyone....
    This friend of mine sent a photo of his doggy... who just died...old age... was a member of their " family" for a while... and they love that dog.
    the dog loved them.. ( they will miss him ).
    So I got the photo .. and mssg that dog had died.. and felt sorta sad for them.
    this is photo
    It looked a little " blue-ish " to me.. so I put it into photoshop and did some selective color stuff...tried to fix it a little bit... and then I said to myself... " why not send this back to them ... with a part of my heartfelt sorrow and understanding for their grief.. and sorta a tribute to " Jetta" the dog ??
    This took me literally 10 minutes to do... and this is the product

    This is what adobe premiere pro is " worth " to me.  To others, making movies and tv commercials it demands more from the program to do what THEY want.. but for ME... what you see here is fine with me.
    How's THAT for market share and selling globally ???  Think about it...
    ps.. this was  yesterday.. really.. took such a short amount of time to be " creative" and send this back... and it says something about us as a culture of " immediate " gratification etc.. whats wrong with that?  If I do a movie... thats another world... is adobe supposed to do it all ??? I dont think so.

  • Long time for Adobe Media Encoder to encode 3 minute video

    I created a Premiere Pro project with a dynamic link to Adobe After effects (both CS4 versions).
    Upon finishing this PremPro project which is a 3 minute song with 3d animation playing in the background, I chose Export Media.
    Since first try was taking a long time (15 minutes and little progress), I removed the 3 transitions I had in my Premiere Pro Project, reduced the audio from 128 to 64 bit, decreased the bit rate to its lowerst 56 kbps instead of the default which is something like 1000-2000 kbps I believe (Please let me know default value so I can reset it ) and reduced video size from 960 x 620 to 380 x 244.  I also shut all of my programs that could be chewing up significant memory.
    I'm just looking for a rough feel of how things will look so only wanted to start with a 'draft quality' render of my flv - but the Adobe Media Encoder is still saying it will take 1 and a half hours, and this is on a 64 bit, Win 7 system with lots of RAM (24GB) and plenty of hard drive space.
    The actual After Effects compositions are fairly complex, with numerous 3d animations superimposed on one another, but I wasn't sure if this sluggishness suggested something was wrong that I need to correct to get quicker performance, or if it's simply a reflection of a complicated scene, and that's how long things will take even at those very minimal settings.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Not sure what you mean about the process.  From Premiere CS5, I click on "export" which brings up a menu. I select "media" from the menu which brings up the Adobe Media Encoder.  I adjust my settings and click "export" from the bottom of the screen to immediately render the Premiere file.  Clicking "Queue" would put the program into the AME Queue.  Am I missing something?  On the slowness issue, looks like I need to reinstall AME. I've been reluctant to do that, partially because I'm using some Matrox hardware and I'll have to reinstall the Matrox softare to populate the matrox settings into the media encoder. Looks like it may be worth it.
    Thanks.

  • Has anyone had a problem with Verizon messages having wrong times for incoming  messages on their tablet?

    I have had a problem where the incomming messages I am getting are at a different time then sent. The person is in the same time zone as me.

        Let's get to the bottom of these messaging issue dnp15! When did the wrong timing start? Is time correct when you receive messages on your phone instead of your tablet? Is timing correct if you check messages on a computer instead of the tablet? What's the tablet model?

  • This time for Adobe Font Folio 12

    Will Font Folio 12 released? New features? More Fonts? Can't wait!

    What is your point?
    Adobe does not announce vaporware. If and when we are ready to release a new version of Font Folio, we will announce the product, but certainly not until then.

  • Waiting...and waiting for Adobe to approve my upload

    I have been waiting for a long time for Adobe to approve my brush upload. Does anyone know why it takes so long? I read through some other posts on this subject and it seems like it is normal for Adobe to take a long time especially if it's your first time. If only ALL "first times" took this long. But honestly what is the hold up? Does anyone know if there is something I can do to expidite this process?

    Jose,
    I just checked the status of the order as it was showing Unauthorized. You might try placing the order again. Did you submit your Educational information to qualify for the student pricing?

  • ADOBE-Time for a change in forums

    Call me crazy, but if I am one of the top contributers in the CS4 or earlier forums, something is wrong with the status quo.
    I know I contribute a lot to the video 'lounge' which to me is basically yapping with friends etc...and socializing, but I definitely don't contribute much to cs4 and earlier.
    Nor do I contribute to the CS5, 5.5, 6 forum unless someone is talking about 'art', solutions to 'creativity' and so on. Definitely DON'T contribute to tech stuff, actual program related solutions to tech problems.
    I got burned a long time ago by fellow contributers who basically told me " If you don't have this version you are misleading people so shut up " no matter how much time I spent trying to solve the problem.
    My suspicion is that many long time contributers are getting a bit burnt out answering the same old questions ...that posters may or may NOT even look at for months. Many answers to questions by posters are simply references to the adobe database of similar problems.
    Since we are in a computer revolution etc... ( I don't have the energy to explain this 64 bit vs 32 bit etc not to mention hardware and codecs )...I have a suggestion to Adobe.
    Dump the cs4 and earlier forum entirely. Your return on that must be near zero in terms of selling product. Let them go somewhere else.
    Dump everything except your latest version ( cs6 )...and leave 'hardware', 'lounge' ( so I can tell people about Godzilla and Snakes )..and CHANGE THINGS.
    You ( adobe ) are moving into the future too , with many new market share and delivery system realities... so just go with that, with your latest version.
    It's obvious to me long time contributers are getting burnt out, the police dept ( moderators ) dont add as much as they used to ( mostly cause you've used their contributions to improve your product...without giving them what is due them for that IMO ...similar to open source " flight simulator " from MS in the distant past ).
    You can only milk this for so long and then it becomes an embarrassment to you as a company IMO. You are at that point.
    But leave the video lounge cause I have a lot more to share with my friends before I drop dead.

    =========
    and then NO, when I fragment a thread with comments on "scary snakes," or similar
    ========
    boy , is my face red !
    okay, I'll get serious from now on and even though it's BEER THIRTY ! YIPEE ! ...I will no longer put godzilla in masks of posters inserted image samples re: questions about " what should I do to get rid of those flower pots back there in my frame ?? "
    hehe... it is nice to have friends who understand or at least tolerate my stupidity, so thanks.
    I think one reason maybe ( guessing here ) about Curt's experience is what Steve's experience was with 'residuals' vs Curt's. He got paid for the work on the books, flat fee, one time deal despite all his incredibly good work to make those books good and comprehensive etc..and it could get sold a million times for another ten years...he wasn't getting anything more for his continued 'input' ( server cost etc defrayed by residuals etc ). In other words, Steve was the 'author' of stuff where he got a small piece for the talent and expertise etc he brought to the table, Curt got one check...and probably ended up putting so many hours into it that he got about $5 / hour ....trust me, I know what artists and enthusiastic people who are really good bring to the table.
    Anyway, I'm not here to make things 'right' and have no vested interest in what happens in the future. The only thing I'm dealing with right now in my own life is a documentary I want to do here in MN.
    It will take a year at least to outline it, script it, write V.O., get some rights to music synchronization, get someone interested in distribution...and I HAVE NO MONEY for this other than my own meager amount and my own 'interest' in the project.  If I represent a small portion of people in the world who want to make ' things' others can watch and enjoy...then maybe I am part of what the NLE programs are about for users on home machines and small business machines. And of course that NLE has to be Okay with on set shooting and monitors and scopes and the whole range of workflow ( from shoot to end product ).
    That's sorta the 'art' part of this in conjunction with the 'end product' part. If someone does something that costs an arm and a leg, takes a year to get done, and the end product is a flop due to export problems, tweening problems or some other stupid problems...it boils down to a 'wasted year of your life'.  Know what I mean ?
    Meantime, if we can help make better stuff using this NLE it's important to support one another with that grand design in mind..caring about what posters are trying to accomplish, and helping them get the best results.
    So thanks you guys and girl ( Ann ( who hates scary snakes ) ) for your fortitude. And, if Curt ever reads this, don't give up putting in the time ..just get a better contract next time.

  • I have 2 ipods,one for music and the other for old time radio shows.Each had their own file.My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one.Now both ipod files are merged into one.How do I seperate them.

    I have 2 ipods,one for music and the other for old time radio shows.Each had their own file.My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one.Now both ipod files are merged into one.How do I seperate them on the computer?

    Hi Craig
    Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
    You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

  • New iphone. someone else put in their username and password. time for me to update the iphone. downloaded itunes onto pc. plugged in iphone and waiting for prompt to show phone. pc thinks it is the camera. how do i get itunes/pc to recognize iphone ?

    new iphone. (someone else put in their username and password. so i had lots of apps that i had to eliminate but do NOT wish to compromise the contact list) time for me to update the iphone. downloaded itunes onto pc. plugged in iphone and waiting for prompt to show phone. pc thinks it is the camera. how do i get itunes/pc to recognize iphone ? then, how do i backup contacts and proceed before updating iphone?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes or iPhone forums.

  • Once I upgraded to ML, I'm now finding that my Seagate Free Agent external hard drive is no longer being backed up by Time machine.  Do I have to wait for Seagate to update their drivers for this hard drive?

    Once I upgraded to ML, I'm now finding that my Seagate Free Agent external hard drive is no longer being backed up by Time machine.  Do I have to wait for Seagate to update their drivers for this hard drive?

    I tried your suggestion, and it's been giving me the message "Preparing for Backup" for the past 8 hours.  Does this mean TM is backing up my hard drive?  I'll give it a few more hours, but if nothing else happens, I'm not sure what else to do.  I'm not sure if there are any new external hard drives that are compatible with ML yet.

    Hi,
    I couldn't get to your query..
    What do you mean by step by step procedure for a design time & process for forms.
    if you are a beginner and looking for basic examples to implement adobe forms there are lot of them in SDN, please search them.
    let me know if your query was a very specific one.

  • I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

    I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

    Yes.
    The only difference is the installation method and the ownership verification. The program still is installed on and runs from your local machine. You only have to hook up to the internet every 60-90 days to verify ownership.
    From the FAQ
    Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
    No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
    Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode."
