Urgent help with pdf

I have updated to Leopard and Office 2008 and find that pdf handling is now quite different. Instead of a single pdf file I now get three! And, as noted in this forum, the size is many, many times greater than Tiger. I have run http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html and I do not get any Compress Pdf option - does anyone know why this is please?
And can anyone tell me how to get the pdf printer or Save-As to give me a SINGLE pdf file (this when running Word 2008)? I totally rely on this feature on the Mac and the loss in Leopard is a very major issue for me.
Thanks - Lawrence

Thanks for your help, I also had no problem with Office 2004 and 10.5.1, it all started with Office 2008 but I was of the opinion that the print drivers were OS related, I have the same problem no matter what application I print from - that is, great big fat pdf files. The 3-part thing, which renders pdf distribution useless (unless I can figure out how to smush the 3 parts into 1), must be - it would seem - a Word 2008 problem, and this is not something I can test elsewhere as the document is a Word document. But even so, Word is passing off the file to the print driver so, my immediate suspicion, is that it is the print driver; it could however be Word shipping of three chunks of the file to the driver, and so I get three files. I tend to believe that it is this latter for the three part nonsense. The big fat file issue I think is a driver problem. And why does the Compress-pdf option not work? Does anyone know how to remove/deinstall this so I can perhaps try reinstalling it all. Maybe if I reinstall the Compress-pdf stuff first and THEN Office 2008.
I think that Office 2008 and 2004 can co-exist. Maybe I can mix and match - using 2004 Word for pdf generation and 2008 for everything else.
Big major hassle though and no mistake...
Thanks again.
Lawrence

Urgent help with Pages 5.0 needed

Hi guys,
I need urgent help! I deleted Pages 5.0 (as I HATED it) but now can't open a very important document. Can someone please tell me how to reinstall it??
Thanks
Kellie

Downloading again is not as easy as that. you must find the app in the "Purchased" section of the
app store and I think you then must hold down the option key to reinstall it.
BTW, I only worked with one document as a trial for Pages 5 and then imported it to Word and saved it. I then deleted Pages 5 (I can't believe anyone who works with software would think that piece of worthless junk would sufice for anyone who uses a word processor professionally), reopened the Word document and saved it in Pages 09.
I hope this helps

Urgent Help with Planning Book

Hello Gurus,

Then when I go the interactive planning I can see all my characteristics -Ex Material master( has all values), Prod type has values, etc. Iam in DEV system and have to move the whole config to QA now. I have to validate that the config works in QA. Its works ok in the sandbox but I cannot figureout why I can not see the values for key figs that Iam loading from a Flat File. Please help!!!!!!

Hello Suresh,
I have one more question for you. Let me tell you my scenario. I have the client giving me a rough forecast for the future. I have to do stat forecast based on the history and check that against the initial forecast given by them. But, the problem I realised now is that when I go to my planning books I can see the values for 2008 in mothly buckets since I have 0calmonth. But the client gave me another file with forecast for 2008 in monthly buckets and for 2009 and 2010 in quarter buckets. So, i have a planning buck profile defined to meet that but, how do I upload the file with both 0calmonth and 0calquarter in a single file. Please let me know!! Urgent task.
Thanks again,

Urgent Help with network access to FileOutputStream

URGENT HELP NEEDED GUYS...I am stuck on this past 2 days. I tried several alternatives but to vain.
I am trying to access a Folder on a user's computer which is lying in a different Domain.
For accessing this folder, I have the following information with me.
Domain name, PC name, folder name, windows username, windows password.
Note: This username and password will give me rights to read + write to that folder.
How to use these information to open a fileoutputstream ? Does the java.io package allow programs to pass a username, password , domainname, pcname and then the folder and filename to create/read/write files..
Pls. suggest code examples. Sometime back I posted this query but didnt get an answer to my satisfaction. I have tried at my end but unsuccessful yet. Help would be appreciated.
I am trying this on a Windows File System and Network domain
THIS IS V. URGENT
Thanks,

Hi HJK,
I am referring to the last reply of yours.
" Hi, there are three approaches I can think of offhand:
1) make sure the user-context under which you run the java app has the right to access the remote drive.
2) Do the network connection in a batch or c program and call that at the start of your java app with Runtime#exec.
3) Write some c/c++ code to open the connection and integrate that via JNI.
Let me know what (other) solution you came up with in the end!
Regarding the 1st.
I am supposed to write a remote installation utility actually. There are around 200 PC(s) in a network on which I need to copy these java class files. My problem statement is such that at runtime I only have username, passwords, domain access. I am not supposed to map any drives. Its supposed to be done dynamically. No manual intervention required. :(
How do I do the network connection in a batch mode ? Let me know that?
If 2nd option can be done, probably I can think of action-3 at the moment I am quite blurr :(

Need urgent help with HSDIO hardware timing

Hi everyone,
I need urgent help regarding HSDIO hardware timing. I've been working in a project which generating serial ramp using HSDIO pxie device.
I'm using clock rate 40MHz and generating 14 bit of boolean for each step of ramp. And I have to generate simply 256 steps ramp.
Which means, 256 (steps) x 14 (boolean array) x 25 ns (period of 1 boolean value) = 89,6 ns.
What I'm doing right now is with using index of FOR loop as my input data (converting the index into 14bit boolean), then write into pxie device in every iteration,
which means, my data is getting into output in every 1ms time, right? (I'm using windows)
And I want to be able to generate faster than that.
How can I prewrite my 256 steps ramp, then write them all at once into pxie device. I'm really stuck here.
In the picture can you see how I do the write into device in every iteration of FOR Loop.
Regards,
Yan.

hi, thanks for responding.
with using example of dynamic generation with script, I can manage to generate the ramp with controllable delay (generate the whole waveform, including delay with script command, then write to the card).
But I still have 1 question, I can test the output of the generation using oscilloscope and cant see the start delay (I'm writing delay at the start, before generating the ramp). My signal generated at 0 sec.
How can I check this start delay? is there any good example delivered with Labview to check this generation? Somehow I cant use the "dynamic generation and acquisition" example to see my generation (cant figure out how to capture the generated signal).
regards,
Yan.

Help with pdf tasks

Hello,
I am trying to automate a couple of specific tasks with pdf files but I am having some trouble. At my job we are printing files to pdf but afterwards we must go back and edit the pdf files. Basically what we need to do is this (in order):
1) Rotate the first 'one to three' pages. The first page(s) need to be rotated counterclockwise but it can be 1-3 pages that need this. All we know is that they always appear first. These pages are very similiar in content so I was thinking about making the program search for a keyword common to those pages then rotate it if it finds that keyword. That way we can ensure that its only rotating the pages which need to be rotated.
2) The last 3 pages of the document need to be moved to the top. These documents vary in number of pages so I cant just tell the program to move certain pages numbers to the top. All we know is that its always the last 3 pages of any document that need to be moved to the top. Also, just for clarification is another way to reorder pages in Acrobat besides dragging them with the mouse?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Fazal

Both of these could be implemented using JavaScript, perhaps using a batch sequence. #2 is easy, and #1 may or may not be possible/reliable based on the actual content of the document.
For #1, a script is able to loop through the words on a page to search for one or more words. If found, it can look at the position of the word on the page, and if it meets the position criteria, use the setPageRotations document method to rotate the page.
For #2, just use the movePage document method to move the last three pages.
If you need help with the code, consider posting in the Acrobat Scripting forum. Include more information for #1 if you do.

Help with PDF Generation

We are currently evaluating LiveCycle ES to potentially convert numerous Pro/E 3D drawings to PDF. Unfortunately, I am having a difficult time finding the proper resources to help achieve this. What we would like the process to do is:
1) Take a Pro/E file, and apply a forms template
2) Add an "Exploded View" animation for the 3D drawing (such as what can be generated by Adobe 3D Reviewer)
3) Expose the "Bill of Material" to the template fields
4) Save the generated PDF to a defined folder
5) Perform these steps for a "watched folder" for when new drawings are submitted
In LiveCycle Workbench, I have been able to read a Pro/E file and apply our template. But I cannot find information on how to achieve the other steps.
Could somebody please point me to specific resources and/or samples that would help with this? Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
If I'm understanding you correctly, option 1 probably won't work for this situation, because we're working with existing ProE drawings -- hundreds, if not thousands, of them. So, they don't want to go back and add the exploded view. Unless you're saying that we could use javaScript to generate the exploded view and BOM from the ProE files?
Do you know of an example (or other resource) that describes either of the options you outlined? Could you explain a little more?
Thanks again!

Help with PDF Javascript calculation involving checkboxes

Hello Everyone,
I have a PDF Form, and need help with a calculation.
For the sake of simplicity, Lets say I have 5 fields. FSA1 and FSA2 are checkboxes. TotalClaimed1 and TotalClaimed2 are text fields which allow only a numerical input.
The last box, FSA_Total, should add the value from TotalClaimed1 if FSA1 is checked, and it should also add the value from TotalClaimed2 if FSA2 is checked.
The code is malfunctioning, however. Something is causing it to add to the total every time the box is checked. Its almost like the checking off of the box is what causes the addition.
It seems like the code is being read as "When the box is checked, add the value to the total", so each time the box gets checked, it adds to the total again.
and it should be "IF the box is checked, add the value to the total" so if there is a value in the field, and the box is checked, that value is passed on to the total; and if the box is not checked, the value is ignored.
Can anyone spot what might be causing this? Code is below.
var claim1 = parseInt(this.getField('TotalClaimed1').value),
    claim2 = parseInt(this.getField('TotalClaimed2').value),
    fsabox = parseInt(this.getField('FSA_Total').value);
if (this.getField('FSA1').value == 'Yes') {
    fsabox += claim1;
if (this.getField('FSA2').value == 'Yes') {
    fsabox += claim2;
event.value = fsabox;
Thanks
Thisguy1234

This is a custom calculation script for FSA_Total, correct? The code is working correctly, it's just not what you want. Assuming this is a custom calculation script in the FSA_Total field, it should be something like:
var sum = 0;
var claim1 = parseInt(getField('TotalClaimed1').value, 10),
    claim2 = parseInt(getField('TotalClaimed2').value, 10),
// Add field values if corresponding check boxes are selected
if (getField('FSA1').value !== "Off") {
    sum += claim1;
if (getField('FSA2').value !== "Off") {
    sum += claim2;
// Set this field value
event.value = sum;
Why are you using parseInt, exactly?

Need help with PDF/X-1a

I am beyond frustrated here so I hope someone can help me!!!! Ii have Adobe 8 Standard and I can't find the PDF/X-1a in my distiller. I need this particular preset to upload a book cover. The website won't accept any other format. The only thing I have in my distiller is PDF/A-1b.
Does anyone know where I can get the correct distiller? Everyone I know with Adobe 8 has the PDF/X-1a in their options and they don't remember having to do anything special to get it.

Assuming you have Acrobat installed, it would not hurt to verify compliance after the document is created. With the doc open (on my vesion 9) Advanced > Print Production > Preflight > PDF/X Compliance > Verify compliance with PDF/X-1a hit analyze
Note that a document must have a Title in the Title box under Document > Properties (ctrl+d) to pass X-1a and, for whatever reason, analyze and fix cannot add this.
And I'm far from the resident expert here..

Need urgent help with Ifs1.1 on Solaris

We have installed IFS 1.1 with Oracle 8.1.7 on a three tier System (two Suns). We use JWS as WebServer. When we start IFS and JWS everything seems to work fine. But after some time (irregulary) we are not able to contact the JSP-Sites via a bowser. After restarting JWS, everything works fine for some time.
Sometimes it happens (about one times a day), that the whole JWS crashes (JWS-Admin doesn't work). So we have to restart the whole IFS.
What can be the problem? We need urgent help, because the deadline for our project is Wednesday.
By the way:
Where do I have to start CTX on the IFS- or the Oracle-Side?
null

Yes, we tried the Oracle HTTP - Server, but we weren4t able to get it to work. We didn4t get our JSP-Files to work with it. But that is another issue. I think it4s not a problem of JWS, but IFS.
Additionally it is strange, that we are still able to connect to the database via SqlPlus.
IFS works fine for about 15 minutes, than it crashes, nothing works anymore. We found following errors in the IfsAgents.log:
maybe it can help?!

Need some URGENT help with 3 DVD mastering issues PLEASE! :

Hi there,
Firstly, I am running DVD SP 3.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.7 on a G5 Dual 2 GHz 3Gb Ram plenty of HD space...
I am creating a DVD with: An intro sequence, a main menu, 4 sub menus, and 4 sections with around 12 chapters each.
I am having some big problems, and a pretty stuck. I will lest them separately below, numbered. If you are able to help, please refer clearly to which number you are helping with. Any help is MUCH appreciated! Many thanks!!
1. Each of the 5 menus (1 main, 4 sub) have a background video, and a separate audio track. I added the background videos by simply dragging them to the assests panel, then from there onto the menu editor window. They are created in FCP and are properly encoded. However, when I click the motion button, or use the simulator, the videos do not show up. The music plays, but all i see is plain black.
What is going on?!?!?!
2. I am really struggling with rollover buttons. I have custom created buttons, and I wand them to have a soft red glow around them when hovered over. HOW ON EARTH DO I ACTUALLY DO THIS??
The buttons are in photoshop so can be exported with/without background/glow in any format.
3. Is it possible, once I have got the above rollover working, to have an image to the right hand side of my buttons which changes with the the button rollover. i.e. hover over button 1, see image 1. hover over button 2, image changes to image 2.
PLEASE PLEASE give any help you can, I have a deadline coming up and am quite stumped. Thanks again!!

I am still having problems regarding issue Number 1. PLEASE ANYONE HELP?!
Sorry, I'm not sure about the motion menus. I avoid those whenever possible. But you might click on the menu in the storyline tab (whatever it's called -- the hierarchical view with the disc, tracks, slideshows, etc.) and look at the properties and see if there's anything you have to enable specifically for motion. And be sure the motion button is on on the main display/preview area, but it sounds like you already know how that works.
For your information, here is a screen grab of the menu I am trying to create:
http://www.redhavoc.co.uk/stuff/menu.jpg
I think it is obvious that when a button is hovered over, I want it to glow red, and the image to the right will change to match the respective button.
IS THIS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE????
Yes.
First, your menus have to be layered menus. Unfortunately, there's no way to convert non-layered menus to layered menus, so if you already have non-layered, you'll have to just delete them and create new layered menus. The button (and menu item) to create a layered menu should be right by the normal new-menu item.
Next, the graphical work is all in Photoshop.
Side tip: You may already know this, but I found it's best to use 640x480 for the Photoshop document. When I do text and leave it as a text object in the Photoshop file, it resizes poorly in DVDSP. So this ends up being another 720x480 vs. 640x480 square/rectangular pixel conversion thing. DVDSP plays in the 640x480 world, at least as far as the designer can see. So I keep my images at 640x480, and it doesn't have to resize, and everything looks right.
Moving on... Set up your basic background, the part that won't change (or will have other things covering it, like for your square image).
Then put in all the buttons and images you'll be using, each part in a separate layer. This could have fifteen buttons (you have five buttons, and there can be three versions for each -- inactive, selected, and activated versions) and five or six square images (you said one for each button, and you might want a blank default if, say, you want to add a "back" button on the menu and want some blank or default image for the square when they're on the "back" button).
Sometimes people don't bother with a separate "active" button state, but you usually want some visual feedback that they clicked the button. Also, I usually just build the default (unselected) button into the background; that's less hassle later on, and it will just draw the selected or activated buttons over that when the user is on that button.
Line up all your buttons and images. All the square images lined up perfectly on top of each other, all the buttons in the right places (so you'll have three buttons stacked on top of each other in each spot). Give each layer a short but quickly recognizable name, and line them up in a consistent order. (button1-default, button1-selected, button1-active, button1-squarepicture, then button2-default, ... etc.) Photoshop and DVDSP don't care, but it makes it easier for you later.
Note that earlier versions of DVDSP won't show Photoshop layer effects. (They handle layers, just not the effects, like inner glow, outer bezel, etc.) I don't remember when they changed this, but I think it was version 4.something. So if you're using that method to make your buttons glow, you may have to flatten each selected or active button layer, and you may even need to create a dummy blank layer underneath it first to give it something to flatten onto.
Save the file as a standard Photoshop file (.psd). Drag the file onto your DVDSP layered menu and set it as the background.
Now, in DVDSP, create all your buttons. Just drag boxes over/around the button pictures you have. Feel free to make them extra-big; users won't see the actual area you've selected, and bigger areas makes it easier for people to hit them if they're using a mouse on a computer to watch the DVD. You can point the buttons to their targets now if you want, and set the end jumps on the tracks if you want. (I tend to set the end jumps on the tracks so they automatically select the button for the next track.)
Now's the fun part, since it will actually hook everything up and should be easy if your naming layer order were consistent. Click on the layered menu (in that hierarchical view) and look at the properties window. (Sorry I can't remember the technical names for all these windows; I'm doing this all from memory. So feel free to ask more questions if you can't find what I'm talking about.) One of the properties tabs should have a grid of checkboxes with a list of your layers. Make sure the background is checked for all of the states. Then check the layers you want to show for each button state, as well as the corresponding square image to show for each.
Again, I'm doing this from memory, and I can't remember exactly how things are listed in that grid. But I remember it keeps your layers in the same order you put them in the Photoshop file and shows you those names, so it should make it easy to go down the list and check the right boxes.
And another side tip: You can update the Photoshop file, but once you've put it in DVDSP, if you change the layer order, it will screw up the check boxes you checked. It always shows you the layer names correctly, but it keeps the checkboxes in DVDSP simply assigned to the layer number, so the fifth layer will keep the same checkboxes even if you juggle them so some other layer is now the fifth layer. So if you do juggle the layers in Photoshop, go back and fix the checkbox list in DVDSP.
I put a sample Photoshop file based on yours in
http://dan.black.org/layered-menu-sample.psd
It's quick and dirty, but shows the layer layout, and you should be able to drop it on DVDSP to play with. (I also won't leave it there forever, maybe a few weeks, so anybody reading this in a month or more probably will get a 404 for that url.)
Again, doing this from memory, so feel free to ask if anything doesn't work or doesn't make sense.

Urgent Help with Image Gallery

Hi,
I really need help with an image gallery i have created. Cannot think of a resolution
So....I have a dynamic image gallery that pulls the pics into a movie clip and adds them to the container (slider)
The issue i am having is that when i click on this i am essentially clicking on all the items collectively and i would like to be able to click on each image seperately...
Please see code below
var xml:XML;
var images:Array = new Array();
var totalImages:Number;
var nbDisplayed:Number = 1;
var imagesLoaded:int = 0;
var slideTo:Number = 0;
var imageWidth = 150;
var titles:Array = new Array();
var container_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
slider_mc.addChild(container_mc);
container_mc.mask = slider_mc.mask_mc;
function loadXML(file:String):void{
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(file));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseXML);
function parseXML(e:Event):void{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
totalImages = xml.children().length();
loadImages();
function loadImages():void{
for(var i:int = 0; i<totalImages; i++){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("images/"+String(xml.children()[i].@brand)));
images.push(loader);
//      loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onProgress);
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);
function onComplete(e:Event):void{
imagesLoaded++;
if(imagesLoaded == totalImages){
createImages();
function createImages():void{
for(var i:int = 0; i < images.length; i++){
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
bm = Bitmap(images[i].content);
bm.smoothing = true;
bm.x = i*170;
container_mc.addChild(bm);
      var caption:textfile=new textfile();
      caption.x=i*170; // fix text positions (x,y) here
   caption.y=96;
      caption.tf.text=(xml.children()[i].@brandname)
      container_mc.addChild(caption);

yes, sorry i do wish to click on individual images but dont know how to code that
as i mentioned i have 6 images that load into an array and then into a container and i think that maybe the problem is that i have the listener on the container so when i click on any image it gives the same results.
what i would like is have code thats says
if i click on image 1 then do this
if i click on image 2 then do something different
etc
hope that makes sense
thanks for you help!
