What is the PDF (book) file naming convention for iTunes?

I need to re-import my PDFs after migrating from "Windows XP to Windows 7, as the PDFs were not included in the Libary XML.
What should the PDF file names be so that when each is imported, it will reconize the Author and Title, and I won't need to manually
edit these using "Get Info". I tried <Author> - <Title>.pdf, with a space-hyphen-space betwwen Author and title, but that didn't work.
I have "keep iTunes media folder organized" checked, so Author folders are auto-created.
Thanks!

When you add a PDF to iTunes it normally sets the filename as the book name. As far as I'm aware iTunes doesn't attempt to extract any other metadata from the PDF even if it is present. If you let iTunes organize your files then after setting the author and title it will move to ...\<Media Folder>\Books\<Author>\<Title>.pdf.

What is the required book cover image size for ePub?

Hi all
I am trying to follow the insturcitons in the Publisher Setup guide for uploading my ePub file to the iBook store. Having gone through this process with Amazon I am gobsmacked by how unhelpful the guidance is from Apple.
It is asking me for a cover image but I cannot see anything telling the required spec for this - on Amazon they tell you min and max dimensions and what the required dpi is but (unless I've missed a whole bunch of instrucitons somewhere!) I see no such info in the guide or in the iTunes connect screens.
Can someone please help me here? After googling I found these forum pages and saw that someone had said the cover image must be at least 600dpi and max height of 740 pixels - is that right? (odd as on Amazon you only need 72dpi!)
Just in case anyone can help here too - my ePub file already has the cover image included in it - do I therefore need to separetely add this standalone cover image?
Really grateful if anyone can help on this.
Many thanks
Karen Inglis

From Apple about book covers:
JPEG with “.jpg” extension (quality unconstrained) or PNG with “.png” extension
RGB (screen standard)
600 pixels minimum along the larger axis. For an average trade paperback, this could be 400x600minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide.
Covers may not reference pricing, the physical edition, or include any other wording that may notnecessarily be true for the digital edition.
Yes, a separate cover file is needed for display. My experience is if you have a cover for Amazon that is 600 px or greater on the longest side, you are fine with Apple.
Step back and take a breath. We all go through this the first time.

What's the best DIVX file conversion solutions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Windows XP OS.

I am on a PC with CS4 Adobe Premiere Pro using XP OS.
I have VIO POV 1 (helmet cam) footage that I need to edit within my CS4 project. The Footage is DIVX MPEG4 AVI and Premiere doesn't recognize the video. I need to figure out the best conversion to maintain the highest quality format that Premiere will recognize.
What is your best recommendation on how to convert (and what format to convert to to maintain the best quality) and can you recommend a good converter program? Free perhaps if I don't have to buy one.
I have spent days looking for a solution and reviewing posts but to no avail. I have tried MPEG Streamclip, Virtual Dub, Digital Media Converter, Prism and many selected others.
-MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to recognize the DIVX files (even after the 3IVX codec installed)
-Digital Media Converter (free watermarked version) seems to work to produce the DV AVI files (type II) but the quality is pretty low so not really wanting to pay $50 to use the low quality conversion -does the converter program have much to do with the quality of the output? It also produces a MPEG2 that seems a little better quality than the DV AVI file it produces.
-Prism does convert to a high quality AVI file that does output a really high quality file that plays in Media Player (latest version) but not in Premiere Pro CS4. Prism also converts to a WMV (windows media vid) that I can use on PP but is not quite the quality of the above noted AVI. This may be my best option???? Or is it a bad idea to use a compressed codec as wmv to edit and eventually output for the complete PP movie?
http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html
Any insight is very much appreciated. I must get on with my editing project!!! Thanks,
Aaron.

Jeff, thanks so much, but I'm still not quite there! Agreed, codec packs can be dangerous but apparently the DIVX one is OK!
So I downloaded the DIVX pack, and the VirtualDub did work and converted via VirtualDub to AVI,... then tried in PremierePro. Again no luck viewing... sound OK but the video freezes on the first frame or two. I can view those outputs in MediaPlayer or DIVX player though. So I tried rerunning the UT codec installer and the logarith but still can't view the outputs from VirtualDub in PP.
I tried (in VirtualDub) converting the previously converted AVI file I did in Prism converter and again, can see the output in PP (still minor artifacts here and there though).
?Maybe I should just be happy with a the DIVX converted to a .wmv file but I think I will be sacrificing quality on already pretty grainy footage that I'm inserting into a largely HD film project so kinda shotty?
Any more suggestions? The help is greatly appreciated!
Aaron.

What's the best Bluetooth file sharing app for iPhone

I'm trying to find a good BT file sharing app for an iPhone 5. I've noticed that the iPhone 5 won't even detect devices such as other phones or computers with BT but seems to have no issue with BT accessories such as satnav. My iPod touch has no problem detecting any BT device which seems odd.
So, is there a good BT file sharing app availble for an iPhone 5?

You won't find any Bluetooth File Sharing app that will work with non-iOS devices. That is something iOS simply does not support.

What is the best Book or online class for Adobe Indesign, Photoshop & the rest in Australia?

Hi All,
I live in australia and love using the creative cloud platform. I would like to further my training both basic and advanced in a few of the services. Is there a good set of books or physical online class (like through Seek learning etc) for Adobe??
Regards,
Sam

You can't beat the online www.Lynda.com online classes.
If you want a beginner's book on InDesign, I recommend Sandee Cohen's InDesign Visual QuickStart Guide (Peachpit Press). For an advanced class, look for Real World InDesign (Peachpit Press).

What is the Creative Cloud Files (archived) folder for?

I see its content mirrors the same stuff that's currently in my Creative Cloud Files folder on my Mac finder.

This effectively a back up of your Creative Cloud folder if you uninstall and re install Creative Cloud. The Creative Cloud folder is not deleted during an uninstall to preserve your data.

Whats most common naming convention for MP3s (what does iTunes store use?)

Trying to organise all my tags and music.
I am using iTunes and some other tag (tag%rename) WMP etc, as some seem to not show all the tgs of other programs)
However what is the generalised, most common naming convention for MP3 files?
ie. track no, Album, artist etc.
Also Ive never bought music from iTunes store yet, only got podcasts and stuff, but when you do , what is the filename convention they use please?
cheers
Mac OS X (10.5) iMac 20" 2Ghz (1st ever Mac Comp)

iTunes has no automatic tag look up function for anything other than CDs (through GraceNote). I import a lot of mp3s (legally obtained) that need tweaking. Also, GraceNote doesn't provide lyrics. If I just need to edit a couple of tracks, the iTunes interface is fine. But for bulk adding of artwork or searching for release dates or lyrics, I use MpFreaker. I find it works best if you do small batches and keep an eye on what it comes up with. Sometimes, well, rarely, it's way off base.
There may be better utilities out there but MpFreaker was recommended to me by someone I trust who spends a lot of time reviewing such things and it works for me so I haven't looked for anything else. You might find more reviews of other software at www.ilounge.com
Best of luck.

What are the best practices in naming a PDF

Using underscores, spaces, dashes, commas, etc. What is the best way to name a PDF so it can be opened on all browsers and all platforms?

Hi Gina D 3333,
Best-practice file-naming conventions for PDF files are the same as for any other file. I found this article on Apple's website that contains some useful pointers to consider when you're naming files that will be used on multiple platforms: OS X: Cross-platform filename best practices and conventions
I hope this helps!

Create a PDF contact sheet - What is the PDF preset?

Hello
When I create contact sheet, it creats a pdf but I don't understand what is the pdf preset.
Is it for screen? print? where can I see or change it if at all?
thanks
shlomit

Shlomit Heymann wrote:

You're practically answering your own question, Shlomit. Those are InDesign "presets", unrelated to Bridge.
In Bridge you can create Page Presets and define the "Quality" (Bridge nomenclature) of the PDF. See images below.
Additionally you can further edit and resave any PDF in Acrobat.
It's always a good idea to read the documentation, consult the Help files and explore the application.

What's the naming convention for Helper Class?

Hi Experts,
What's the naming convention for helper class?
cl_util? or cl_heper?
Thanks in advance!

Hi.,
Normally in JAVA the naming convention for Helper Class is <EventID>Util.java. The Naming convention for helper class must start with EventID.
here Event ID is the event Name , Util.java is the helper class for java.
I believe the same will be followed in ABAP OO too..
here the helper class is cl_uitl.,
so <EventID><ABAP hepler class> is the naming convention.
wait for experts reply..,
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran

AppleScript To Save Messages As PDFs With Specific Naming Convention

I am looking for an Applescript that:
1: Prompts and allows the user to select one or more Apple Mail email messages from within Mail (10.4, 10.5, 10.6).
2: Prompts and allows the user to select a save-to folder.
3: For each message, saves it as a PDF file in the save-to folder, using the following naming convention for the PDF file:
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME - SUBJECT",
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email To FIRSTNAME LASTNAME - SUBJECT",
where in the email date-sent stamp (if I am the sender) or date-received stamp (if I am the recipient):
YYYY = the year
MM = the two-digit month
DD = the two-digit day
HH = the two-digit hour (in 24-hour time)
MM = the two-digit minute
SS = the two-digit second
FIRSTNAME is the email sender's first name for email that I receive (or is the email recipient's first name for email that I send)
LASTNAME is the email sender's last name for email that I receive (or is the email recipient's first name for email that I send)
SUBJECT = the email's subject line
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan - Status Of Payroll Updates.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.33.55 Email To Sue Anderson - RE Status Of Payroll Updates.pdf (Colon omitted after "RE".)
4: For each attachment to the message, saves it as a PDF file in the same directory using the naming convention:
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME Z Attachment - NUMBER - FILENAME",
where:
YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME = as above
NUMBER = an integer representing the attachment number (1, 2, ...) sorted according to filename alphabetical order
FILENAME = the name of the file attached to the email, including its extension (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)
The letter "Z" sorts the attachment PDFs after its respective parent email in the directory.
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 1 - List Of Suggestions To Moore.doc.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 2 - Proposed Salary Adjustments.xls.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 3 - Salary History.pps.pdf
Note: The email attachment may consist of a PDF or MS Office file (Word, Excel, Power Point); however, a smart implementation will be able to handle any attachment kind. If the attachment is a PDF file, then save it "as is" using the stipulated naming convention, without passing it through Distiller.
Thank you.
Kurt Todoroff

Well, that's quite a spec sheet.
Here's a start, you can easily edit the script to get what you need:

padding: 5px;

Output CSV File Naming Convention - Receiver File Adapter

Dear SAP experts,
I need help regarding my scenario.
My scenario is this, Customer will send EDI message to XI. XI will then translate the message and convert it into XML.. After, a Receiver File Adapter will receive the XML then convert it into .csv file.
I've already configured the Receiver File Adapter to convert the XML into .csv file.
But, my problem now is how will I configure to have my output .csv file has a File Naming Convention.
The output .csv file must be "CustomerName_YearMonthDate".
From the EDI message, there is indicated Sender GLN in which, each customer has its own Sender GLN.
E.g., Globus --> 200, Karstadt --> 300, Metro --> 400.
How will I configure so that I can have an output .csv file of,
If Globus sends the EDI message, the output .csv file is Globus_20080304.csv.
If Karstadt, Karstadt_20080304.csv.
If Metro, Metro_20080304.csv.
Kindly advise for a clear and complete solution.
Thank you very much for your usual support.
Fred

Hi Nisar,
My target message (XML) in the mapping is this,
- <ns0:CSV>
    - <SLI>
           <PERIO> </PERIO>
           <ILN> </ILN?
           <EAN> </EAN>
perio, iln, and ean was rooted on SLI field. and the CSV is the rootnode of the target message.
I have created a UDF on the message mapping to accomodate the output customer name, here is the codes:
String fname="";
if(GLN.equals("23456"))
fname ="Globus" +dat;
else if(GLN.equals("5678"))
fname ="Karstadt"+dat;
else if(GLN.equals("6789"))
fname ="Metro"+dat;
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File",
    "FileName");
    conf.put(key,fname );
E.g.,
Globus --> 23456 (Sender GLN)
Karstadt --> 5678 (Sender GLN)
Metro --> 6789 (Sender GLN)
This UDF i've made in the Message Mapping was mapped in the root node CSV.
Is this UDF correct?
Then on the File Receiver Configurations, here are the configs,
Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
File Access Parameters
Target Directory: /var/opt/gsss/sample/csv
File Name Scheme: .csv
Processing Parameters
File Construction Mode: Create
- Overwrite Existing File
Write Mode: Directly
File Type: Text
Variable Substitution --> ???
Adapter Specific Message Attributes
- Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes
- Fail if Adapter-Specific Message Attributes Missing
- File Name
Run Operating System Command After Message Processing
Command Line: chmod 664%F
Content Conversion Parameters
Recordset Structure: SLI
SLI.addHeaderLine: 3
SLI.headerLine: PERIO;ILN;EAN
SLI.fieldSeparator: ;
SLI.endSeparator: 'nl'
Adapter Status:
Status: Active
Kindly advise if my configs are correct.
Thank you very much!
