Very long wait and weird font with PDF in indesign

Hi,
when i try to import PDF in InDesign, it takes a long time before loading it up, and when i finally get to place it, the most part of the fonts are replace by dots.
Its also takes a lot of times when i try to export my .indd in PDF file.
I tried the same operation with the same files on others computers and everything works fine, so i guess the problem is with my Indesign. I try to reinstall it but it did not change nothing.
Thank you for your help!

Amazing how
reinstalling an application seems to be the knee-jerk reaction of so many when something goes wrong ...
Most likely, the problem relates to either an improperly created or defective PDF file in which one or more fonts are not embedded or properly embedded
and have oddball encodings and/or are using non-Western Latin characters that cannot be substituted via the standard substitution fonts.

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

How to trace Very Long SQL and PLSQL?

Hi,
i need an advice on how to trace very long PLSQL as iam new to my company and the business is very new to me , i am a very good developer using Developer suite , but my weak point is tracing very long packages and undestand them ,
i want to trace a Procedure that have a LOT of lines of code and it calls many other packages, i really need to be quick in undestading what this procedre is doing as i should solve my problem in appropriate time
i am using dbms_output.put_line for tracing, to know what is the path that is taken and the variable values but i think i need a totaly different approach
also there are some sqls in this system that is very long, some of them is joining more than 10 tables at the same time, any hint to understand what this sql is doing?
any help is appreciated.

There is a trace facility for PL/SQL, but if you use it find a GUI interface. Trying to get it to work in SQL*PLUS standalone was painful. I think its supported by the major GUI tools like TOAD and PL/SQL developer but have not used it myself.
Other tools you can work with to help you debug and tune PL/SQL include Oracle trace (which analyzes SQL for efficiency, with an interpreter called tkprof) and DBMS_PROFILER. DBMS_PROFILER requires some initial set-up but can analyze PL/SQL code line by line and if used carefully function as a sort of limited trace.
Good luck!

Yes... a search of the forums would have prevented asking that question.

I want to *use* very long file and path names!

This is really a plea to Microsoft...
There are several threads about copying or deleting files where the path and/or file name is too long.
Most have explanations of why this problem occurs. (depending on Windows version and application, the total length [fully qualified file name; i.e. C:\this-dir\that-dir\somefile.xyz] is limited to a maximum of 260 or fewer characters). This limit
But I *WANT* to be able to use very long file names and paths!
I can understand Microsoft keeping this limit - even while allowing UNICODE paths and file names up to 32k characters - because many existing tools will be unable to handle the longer names. This would probably yield a lot of questions/flames about
them "breaking the software I've used for years."
But it would be possible to have a system setting to optionally allow the long names. Since I'd have to manually set it, I'd know I'm potentially breaking existing software.
In my case, I'm backing up various file directories where some files are very long. With the server-side additional paths (e.g., client-name\project-name\backup-date\...") I occasionally hit files that can't be copied. Renaming is not suitable;
sometimes names have to match other file names.
I can zip them, create iso files, use a backup program that creates a blob, put them in a source-control system, etc - but I really don't *want* to do that; it's very convenient to have a direct copy of the directories. Each of these 'solutions' either
requires extra work (which could be scripted, so ok...) or doesn't work with the work-flow for some reason.
Microsoft, *please* fix this in Windows 8! (if not before...) This limit has existed for far too long!
And readers - please don't just repeat what's in the other threads (rename/use subst/map directory/etc) or flame without useful information. Thanks!

Data from PSA to ODS taking very very long time and fails

Hi Gurus,
I have been trying to load data from my CRM system to BI with some range in Data Selection.
I was loading to PSA then then Data Target (Package by Package). It failed twice by taking lot of time.
Then I brought the data to the PSA only successfully and tried moving it to ODS and shockingly long waiting hours it took and failed.
Please help me resolve this.
Thanks

Hi,
Search the BI short dump overview for the short dump that belongs to the request.
Pay attention to the correct time and date on the selection screen.
You access a short dump list using the wizard or the menu path
"Environment -> Short dump -> In the Data Warehouse".
And also some TRFC time out error.
We have fixed it by increasing the profile parameter time and also clearing the old errored TRFC which where lying in the Source.
Yet this has been running for about 20 hours to move data from PSA to DSO. and only some of the Data Packages are turning into Green and Some in Red and Some in Yellow.
Please help
Thanks

Longer wait to get activated with BT ?

Hi, my dads cabinet recently got enabled and I played an order for him around 2 weeks ago and it was going to be around 4th december to get activated and set up! he was just going for infinity 1 package the only thing he was migrating from sky broadband but i doubt that would have such an impact?
well one of my mates in the same area ordered the first package through sky and it only took him 2 weeks to get activated an engineer came out yesterday and everything is fine
so why the long wait going with BT ?

The migration probably had some impact - it can be 15 days just for an adsl swop. Did you opt for the earliest slot available?
It is probably just luck dependent on availability at the time of ordering , a cancellation may have just created an earlier date.

Weird problem with PDF docs

So this doesn't have anything to do with Apple per se, everyone on this board has always been so helpful. For the past few weeks, I have been unable to view any PDF documents. (It was the same for anything flash on a website, but that mysteriously fixed itself.) I've downloaded Adobe about 5 times, no luck. I never had this problem before. It's so annoying because when I need to see a PDF doc I have to use my boyfriend's Dell (UHG!!!) Please help! Thanks

Hey John,
Thanks for your reply. I used your advise (sort of) to open PDF docs. I figured out that if I right-click on the link and "save link to desktop" I can then right-click on the file and choose "open with preview." It's kinda a pain in the butt, but at least it opens. Thanks!

Clearing 'search single location' and 'preview fonts with clip cut in

When reconnecting media, you can add a search location - how do you clear this search tool if the folders aren't valid anymore
in photoshop and after effects, u can preview the font after its cut into the sequence - how can u preview the font in final cut pro?
Thanks
Craig

hey andy
thanks for the search folder note - got it
also, what i meant about the fonts was that i know where to change it, but can i scroll through the fonts with the text already cut into a sequence? Now, u have to pick a font, check it, pick a font, check it
in photoshop, u can just scroll through all the fonts while the text window is open and see all the variations in fonts as u scroll down the list
is here a shortcut like SHIFT/SCROLL - hold mouse down, something like that?
thanks again
crag

KE30 Report:-Takes very long time and ends in a Run time error

Hi Expert,
Since last three week (after up gradation of system) we are not able to run any of KE30 reports in Production system and its end with Run Time Error. Even in development system where data is minimum it is taking 45 Minutes to give output where it should take maximum 4-5 Minute. Before up gradation it was working fine
What could be the reason for this and how can i resolve this.
Thanks in Advance
Bipin Tiwari

HI Sridhara
Thanks for quick response. After Up Gradation we ran SGEN T-code but no impact on system performance. There after we build new summarisation level in KEDVP (system proposed) and activated it but still it is taking 30-.35 minute to generate the report in Development system which should normaly take 1-2 Munite.
Can you suggest what else we can do or is there any better way for build summarisation level in given scenario.
Best Regards

Unable to create PDF/A with PDF from InDesign

Hello,
I'm trying to create PDF/A document from InDesign CS4 with Adobe Acrobat 9.
I create my PDF from InDesign (I create a tagged PDF).
For each document create from InDesign, I receive this message from the Preeflight "Convert to PDF/A (sRGB)" of Acrobat.
PDF document is not compliant with PDF/A-1a (2005)
- Structured PDF : Type entry in a structure element not "StructElem"
- Structured PDF : Type entry missing
Thank for your help.
Cyril.

Hi graffiti,
let me clarify my question. Indesign doesn't export to PDF/A1a.
Acrobat has to convert a tagged PDF 1.5 document generated by indesign to PDF/A1a.
If anyone could explain the errors to me:
- Structured PDF : Type entry in a structure element not "StructElem"
- Structured PDF : Type entry missing
...this would also be greatly appreciated so i can narrow my search.
Since you guys are the PDF experts and Acrobat does the conversion i believe this forum is the place to find answers.
(Also the problem has already been presented on the indesign-forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1959226#1959226 where the advise was to pose the question here)

Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts not working in Indesign CS5

Hi I created some Maths Text books about 5 years ago in an older Adobe Indesign program. I now have to re-edit the files using Indesign CS5.
The Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts i used back in 2005 now do not display in Indesign 5 when i open up the program. The other Euclid Symbol Fonts do. I think that they are all truefonts.
I have attached an example.
I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.
http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn109.htm <-- this is an error log from 'MathType' the guys who created the font - yet unsure what this actually means for me
Here is the example
fonts in the Euclid Family on my Mac

Congratulations on fixing the problem yourself! Hopefully our article (to which you linked) was of some help in that process. Let us know if you need anything else.

Thank you for advices!
I did not try to downgrade freetype, but I guess Microsoft fonts look good with older versions of freetype because there is BYTECODE_INTERPRETER enabled. Here is quote from SuSE documentation:
In order to get a good rendering of the MS TrueType Core Fonts, the BYTECODE_INTERPRETER setting should be enabled in freetype2. The freetype people do recommend not to use the bytecode interpreter anymore in favor of their auto-hinting code. But while it is true that you will achieve good rendering with most of the free fonts, this is quite ugly for the MS TrueType Core Fonts.
Well.. I do not want to enable features that are not recommended by developers :-)
What about antialiasing - I do not want to enable it for small font sizes. And, of course, antialiasing is the thing that was invented not for fixing broken fonts rendering.
I decided to replace Tahoma with Verdana everywhere to solve this problem :-) Unfortunately, I coud not do this with fontconfig - debug output from freetype shows this font list after replacement:
"Verdana"(w) "Times New Roman"(s) "Thorndale AMT"(w) "serif"(s) ""(s)
Note letter "w" after Verdana. I do not know what these letters mean, let's suppose 'w' is for 'weak' and 's' is for 'strong'. Firefox (or freetype) ignores 'weak' fonts when there are 'strong' fonts in the list. And all substituted fonts always have 'weak' marking... Thus, Firefox displays Times New Roman (or any font that was set as default in Firefox) instead of Verdana.
The final solution for me was to take fontforge, make a copy of Verdana and rename this copy to Tahoma. Now I have Tahoma replaced with nice rendered Verdana everywhere
But the question is still open - is it possible to take broken Tahoma and make same looking font that would not be broken?

Time Machine takes very long time to back up with new large drive

I started using Time Machine on my 17" MBP about a month ago. I was using a 250 GB Samsung drive. When I discovered that TM will back up other external drives (I have several firewire pocket drives), I purchased a 500 GB Cavalry drive with USB 2.0 and eSATA connections. The first backup of my MBP drive (about 85 GB) took several hours (4-6?). I backed up one of my pocket drives (about 60 GB), which took 3-4 hours. Then, when I changed the back-up drive in Time Machine to the new 500 GB drive with the eSATA connection, I stopped it after an hour, because only 2 GB had been backed up. I erased the drive and restarted using the USB connection. It backed up 3 GB in an hour. So, now I'm back to using the original back-up drive. I've performed benchmark tests on all drives (the Samsung 250, Cavalry USB and eSATA 500 GB, and the MBP internal drive) with Xbench. The USB speeds on the Samsung and Cavalry drives came out about the same with a slight edge to the Cavalry drive. The eSATA connection with the Cavalry drive operated at over twice the speed of the USB connections and at about twice the speed of the MBP internal drive (which is a 1.5 Gb/s SATA drive). Basically, I can't figure out why Time Machine takes so incredibly long to back up when I switched to the new drive. Any ideas?
Jeff

It took me 20 hours to backup 32GB out of 65. I don't know why. Using carbon copy clone to download to another backup drive I did it perfectly in about 30 minutes. I expect that those appllications which show applicatiions are at fault and will try later getting rid of apps such as F-10 and pathfinderfor the first download. I have no idea why this is so slow. Everything is so slow.
