Workaround for taking cs5 back to cs4

hi,
I know after effects is not backwards compatible and never has been. Dont suppose anybody knows a way of getting round this?
I'm sure 64 bit after effects is a boon to many users but for me the problems have been endless.
Does anybody know a fix for taking your projects back to a 32 bit version of after effects?
thanks
s

There is no "fix", but you can copy&paste some data with both programs, possibly requiring to adjust the headers in a text editor/ Excel. See this old tip for some basics. There was also someone working on a bunch of import/export scripts to export to a custom text file and back, but I've lost track of how far that ever went. Mabe check AEnhancers.com...

First of all, what's your Oracle Version?
RMAN has changed a lot since if first appeared in Oracle 8.0. Now, if you don't have any knowledge at all of recovery manager you must first take a look at the recovery manager version corresponding to your particular oracle version so you get acquainted to the concepts.
If you see the error 'rman not found ...' then it means you don't even have set the environment variables for your session, which is part of the install process. The PATH environment variable must include the $ORACLE_HOME/bin where the rman along many other oracle binaries are located.
1. Check the environment variables.
2. Specify the Oracle version
3. You can use Enterprise Manager to easy your life, but the setup procedure is subject to the oracle version you are referring to.
4. Take a look at the backup/recovery manual to get acquainted with rman concepts.

Filetype HTML.xht workaround for Dreamweaver CS5.5

upon upgrading to Dreamweaver CS5.5, i noticed that files of filetype HTML.xht in one of my web projects either wouldn't open in Dw, or wouldn't open with link color cueing and file management.
the known workaround is configuring the following files by adding item 'XHT' after 'XHTML' on the line for 'HTML' documents:
     Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml
          [in Dw CS5, was Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml ]
and
     /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/Extensions.txt
        [in Dw CS5, was /Users/me/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver\ CS5/en_US/Configuration/Extensions.txt ]
the workaround enables Dw CS5.5 to open an HTML5 document with an 'xht' extension via the Files Panel.
additional information about 'deployment of HTML.xht' is noted on my web site at
http://www.enhanceability.com/dev/0.xht
please let the Dreamweaver developers know that there must be a better way to support HTML.xht or HTML5.
best regards,
Ron Stone

Hi Peran,
I actually resolved the problem by accessing the website with Internet Explorer (ver. 8.0.7601.17514)) rather than with Chrome (ver. 35.0.1916.153 m). Link = http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-5-product-downloads.html, which can be navigated to via your link (http://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html) as well as via the link referenced in my question (https://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html). The problem apparently related to Chrome.
Thank you,

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

Working window for Photoshop CS5 has turned lite blue. How do I change it back to grey?

Working window for Photoshop CS5 has turned lite blue. How do I change it back to grey?

You talking about the empty canvas border around the image? On a PC one would normally open a document in tabbed view, then right-click the mouse in the space around the outside of the document. Then you can change the color.

Workaround for JSFL shape selection bug?

There seems to be a bug in the document selection reporting in JSFL in CS4 (haven't tested earlier versions). I submitted it as a bug to Adobe but I'd really like to find a workaround for it. I've included my bug report below. Has anyone else encountered this? If so, have you figured out a workaround? It's pretty annoying, making the tool I'm working on really difficult to manage.
******BUG******
After performing a publish preview, fl.getDocumentDOM().selection reports an incorrect selection of raw shapes.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create a JSFL command with the following contents:
doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
fl.trace("there are " + doc.selection.length + " items selected");
2. Start the authoring environment fresh, with a new document.
3. Draw several shapes on the stage, not touching each other, all in the same frame and layer.
4. Select one of those shapes but leave the others unselected.
5. Run the previously created JSFL command. It will send the following text to the output panel, as one would expect:
"there are 1 items selected"
6. Do a publish preview (either Flash or HTML).
7. When it comes up, close the preview window.
8. Deselect all and then select one of the shapes (again, keeping the others unselected).
9. Run the JSFL command again. This time, it will say that there are n items selected (where n is the number of shapes you drew in step 3). So if you drew three shapes, it will print out the following:
there are 3 items selected
Note that this result will be the same even if you go to a different document, do a publish preview on that document, then return to the original. It seems that simply doing a publish preview alters Flash's state to report the selection incorrectly.
Results: The JSFL command reports that all the shapes are selected, despite the fact that only one of them is. The only way I've found to get Flash back to its normal behavior is to restart the authoring environment.
Expected results: In the steps above, the JSFL command should always print out that there is one element selected. There's no reason that doing a publish preview should change that.

When selected all shapes in selection are treated as one. You can see it if you run this script with selected multiple shapes:
fl.trace( fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].contours.length );
It will output you twise bigger number then selected shapes (because each Shape has two contours - one clockwise, other counterclockwise).
Of course this. implementation is strange for me too. Thats how i found your post

Workaround for slow Bridge when network drive is inaccessible?

Hello all,
Hoping someone has some information regarding an issue I'm having with my workflow and Bridge. I have CS6 installed and am using the 64bit version of Bridge for file management. I work from 2 locations at the moment and have a portable drive that I take with me from place to place with my work files on it. In one location I can plug the drive directly into my system via USB, but in the other location (for various reasons) I have to plug it in elsewhere and access the drive through a network. This all works fine and I have no issues with getting to my files in general. Where I do get an issue however is when I start trying to add shorcuts to the drive within the "Favorites" menu in bridge.
The short of it is that as long as I have a shortcut to the networked drive in the Favorites menu, Bridge will run EXTREMELY slow when I am at the work location where I am accessing the drive directly. It appears that Bridge is trying to look for the networked drive on all the networked computers at that workplace every time I try to access a file or even use the menu system within Bridge (to right click a file for properties for example). I can alleviate the issue by removing the networked drive from my favorites or disconnecting form the internet (that one is not a practical option however), at which time Bridge stops trying to constantly look for the drive eveywhere and returns to normal speed.
This isn't a horrible issue for me, it just creaates a lot of repeat work of having to navigate to the network every time I open bridge again at the location where I access the drive remotely, or having to constantly re-add the networked drive back into the favorites every time... then having to remove it again before use at the other location and so on. Is there a way to adjust or change Bridge's behavior to basically tell it that if the specific drive isn't available after the first attempt to ignore it from then on unless I specfically click on the favorites link? Or in lieu of that, is there a way to have alternate "profiles" within Bridge that have seperate favorites etc. so that I can switch back and forth depending on the location I am at?
Like I said, not a horrible issue, but I really like having the quick, easy access to the drive that the favorite menu provides and would love to have a work around if one is possible. I realize that this setup is not common and so I might just have to deal, but if there is a super user solution or something I can tweak in a config file somewhere I would love to know! Thanks for the input and advice in advance!

Thanks for taking the time to respond guys! Yeah, I didn't think there would be any easy answer to this one. I actually have never had any issues running Bridge with any network I've been on with the exception of the lag when the network drive isn't present. Or to be more specific, severe lag when the networked drive is stored in favorites and then is absent in a situation where there is another different network of computers present. Don't know if it will help anyone who is trying to connet to a network drive etc. but all I do to get Bridge to "see" the network drive is navigate to the desired network drive or folder in Windows Explorer and then drag the drive or folder icon over from the Windows Explorer browser into my favorites area in Bridge. It drops the network link right into the favorites menu complete with a special network icon for the link. That has proven to be the fastest way for me to get a correct and functional connection to a network drive stored in Bridge. I was doing this with Bridge CS5 as well and it has always worked great for me.
For my network drive situation specifcally, I actually link to the entire drive as It's used solely for my design work. It's uniquely named with a title specific to me and my business so it definitely wouldn't be sharing a common name with any other drives or folders on another system on the network. I save the link to the network drive in my favorites and then I only ever have to click that to get to the root directory of the drive and navigate to whatever I need. Works great and super fast at the location where I need to use the network drive. Maybe I don't have hiccups like some because my computer has a reserved IP for that network tied to the MAC address of my computer so it is always the same IP every time.
The functionality I would like is actually very close in Bridge, with the only issue being that it insists on searching other computers on the network after every process it does if the network drive isn't present. The location I work at that doesn't use the network drive setup has 5 computers linked up to their network and so I guess it's scouring each of those every time I do any single thing in Bridge, looking for the long lost network drive lol! I have to confess this is strange behavior and really seems like a bug (albeit maybe a minor one due to the unusual workflow method) to me and Bridge is the only software I have that does this type of behavior. I can't really think of a good reason why you would need Bridge to look for a drive or folder in a location other than the one you have specified in the favorite path for it. I mean what if you have 2 copies of the same folder in different locations for backup purposes? You wouldn't want Bridge taking the initiative on it's own and accessing your backup folder without telling you, especially if there are legacy versions of a file you wish to retain in the backup location.
If anyone ends up having a solution for this I would love to hear it! Otherwise I'll just have to hope that Adobe eventually buffs up the network functionality of Bridge down the road and in the meantime add and remove the favorites path all the time. I would think smooth network functionality would be increasingly needful and important however. I mean Adobe even offers a cloud service version of their software... That implies to me that they are aware that more and more work will be done "in the cloud" and over networked scenarios. I have my fingers crossed! Thanks again for the info guys!

ANN: UltraSuite 11 PHP_MySQL for DW CS5

Hello Folks,
In the last few weeks some people have asked when the PHP version of UltraSuite 11 will be released. Well, good news!
Today I have released UltraSuite 11 PHP_MySQL for DW CS5. It works with CS4 and CS3 also.
You probaby know that the ASP/VBScript version was released some time back. Some folks have also asked about the ASP.Net version. It's in the pipeline and should be out soon. I am surprised that not many people have written about ColdFusion. Have all of you moved to PHP? It sure seems like it.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Take care,
J.S.

The only problems that I am aware of with the updater are
these:
* Some third party extensions currently don't work with
Dreamweaver 8.0.2.
* The Test SQL Statement panel doesn't render correct results
for MySQL
functions.
* The recordset dialog box strips out the MySQL CONCAT()
function from
SQL queries.
Item 1 isn't a major concern to me, as I rarely use the
extensions
affected (mainly MX Kollection 3 and extensions created by
Tom Muck).
Items 2 and 3 do concern me, but since I'm aware of them, I
can easily
work around them.
I have installed the 8.0.2 updater, and don't have any plans
to
uninstall at the moment. The changes to the server behaviors
improve
security, so that's an important reason to update. On the
other hand, if
you rely heavily on extensions created by InterAKT or Tom
Muck, you may
be better off waiting until they have updated their products,
too.

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

Anyway to use CS5 project in CS4?

I'm basically in a position where I can't upgrade my laptop to a 64bit one with my current budget. Since Premiere and After Effects CS5 can't work on a 32bit system, is there any kind of workaround? Like maybe pulling CS5 files in CS4?

CS5 project files do open in CS4, relatively successfully. I wouldn't bounce back and forth between the two programs too often, though--you stand a pretty high chance of breaking the project with too many conversions. If you're doing it once or twice, you're probably OK; just make sure to back up your original project before doing anything.
If that doesn't work, you might also be able to export an AAF file from CS5 (Project > Export Project as AAF) and open that in CS4. Note that whichever method you use, if your edit is more complicated or uses a variety of effects, you're likely to not have everything make the trip.

32 versus 64 doesn't make a difference.
"I've seen similar issues on httP://feedback.photoshop.com You should maybe post there to report the bug."
Thanks. I searched there and found what might be a workaround. I think this is simply a bug in CS5. If (as indicated in posts revealed by searching the forum you linked me to) I temporarily change Printer Manages Color to Photoshop Manages Color in the PS window, I can then access Print Settings again to make changes, Save and then change Photoshop Manages Color back to Printer Manages Color.
Go figure.
Thanks a lot for the help.
What I don't understand is why everyone isn't experiencing the same issue.

CS5 export to CS4?

INDD CS5 7.0 on Mac 10.5.8
I have a brochure with throw-out pages (therefore different page sizes) which I would like to supply as CS4 artwork (rather than PDF) to the printer, who hasn't upgraded to CS5 because it is only available for Intel Macs (which they don't have either - Motorola only, I have just discovered).
There may be some last minute alterations which I'd like their repro dept to do so is there any way I can save the CS5 document back to CS4 so they can amend it, if necessary?
Thank you.

Supplying print ready PDFs is the way forward and is solely the clients responsibility to have correct. I have worked inside a printers and outside printers. And I can tell you that when I worked in prepress that if I spotted a mistake I would inform the client of the mistake, I'd either give them the choice to make the correction themself or I could make the correction for them but it would an extra charge to make the changes.
When I'm sending to printers nowadays, I sign a proof sheet that says "Everything in this proof is accurate and ready to proceed without further checks".
It's my responisiblity to ensure it's right, not the printers. You can get the printers to check the job for you with their in-house proofreader (if they have one) but you should be charged extra for this service, only at this point could you make a case if there are any errors, nonetheless, you will still have to sign a proofsheet okaying the proofreaders changes and signing off the final copy before going to print.
If there are errors in it and you missed it on the proof that is your responsibility.
If there are errors in the print that were not in the signed off proof then the printer has to take responsibility for that error as it's not what you signed off on.
Usually contracts and proofsheets are drawn up to absolve the printers of errors, and you should really talk to your printers about the best way to check or have your files checked to reduce the amount of errors (if any) to the print job.
You should always get a proof that has gone through the printers system and check that thoroughly for errors in colour/images/type/etc. and if you are worried about the colour you can ask for hi-res digital proofs (chromalains or similar) of certain pages, and that colour should match what is being printed off the press.
Talk to the printer, they are your friend and communication is key.

Workarounds for Acrobat Pro 10 and Lion?

I couldn't figure out where else to post this...I read somewhere on the Adobe site that Acrobat Pro 10 is not compatible with Lion, and that has been my experience.
Well, it's been my experience with an iMac where I installed Lion over Snow Leopard. It seems to work okay on a new MacBook Pro with factory-installed Lion, at least so far.
Odd, since Mac is so widely used in design/creative industries, but whatever...
My question is this: what have people been doing? I was thinking about uninstalling v10 and re-installing v9 from CS4.
Will that screw up everything else? Especially the Acrobat presets in InDesign CS5.5. I use those all the time. What will the consequences likely be?
Please let me know if there are any other workarounds as well.
Thanks.

You haven't mentioned what you mean by "not compatibe".
InDesign has it's own PDF generator and does not use Acrobat.
Workarounds for what? What are you trying to do that does not work?

ANN: Completely recreated PHP_MySQL UltraSuite for Dreamweaver CS5

Folks,
A completely recreated UltraSuite PHP_MySQL extensions package (Version 11.2) for Dreamweaver CS5 was released a few days back. Actually, the best place to obtain the latest announcements and information about updates and new releases is dwUltraSuite.
You may download this latest update from the UltraSuite site.
The PHP_MySQL server behaviors were recreated keeping in mind user feedback for version 11. Most of the deprecated code has been removed. Several extensions have been combined. The code has been made more compact and new additional funtionality has been added especially to the Login and Uploads modules.
J.S.
http://ultrasuite.blogspot.com/
http://bit.ly/gZjM8b

Works intermittently in:
DW CS5.5. (Version 11.5 Build 5344. Windows 7. Lorem and More 1.3.0.)
DW CS4 (Version 10.0 Build 4117. Windows XP Pro. Lorem and More 1.3.0.)
identical behavior in both
It works fine IF:
I open a file, go immediately to Insert | Lorem & More | choose any combination of Type, Format and Amount and click OK;
I open a file, click anywhere in the file or move the cursor with the keyboard arrow keys and then choose Insert | Lorem.... (etc)
BUT, if I type any keyboard character, number, Enter, Space or Backspace, then Lorem & More will NOT work.
If I then close the file, reopen it and try Lorem & More again without first typing anything in the file, it will work.
EDIT: just discovered that it will work again if I give the focus to something outside of the Document window (for example, click on a file or folder name in the Files panel, launch Help, click in the CSS Styles panel or Properties panel), then repeat the Insert | Lorem... steps. Also, it works if I click on something outside the Document window, then click again in the Document window. So:
Type anything in the document
Insert | Lorem....
= FAIL
Type anything in the document
Click somewhere else in Dreamweaver to remove the focus from the Document window
Insert | Lorem...
= WIN
Type anything in the document
Click somewhere else in Dreamweaver to remove the focus from the Document window
Click back in the Document window where you want to insert the lorem ipsum
Insert | Lorem...

How to do it? - making plug-in 64-bit native for AE CS5

Hi
I'm a Japanese software developer of After Effects effect plug-in. Those plug-ins made by CS3 SDK.
Now, I want to make my plug-ins 64-bit for AE CS5 on both Winsows 7 and SnowLeopard(v.10.6.x).
But I can't find any informatin abuot this in this forum, SDK Documents, Adobe partner connection central...
How to do it? Using CS4 SDK? or Waitng for CS5 SDK? Is there any information about this?
...Someone please help me giving information about this issue. if I ask stupid question, you can call me "Stupid frog!";-(
p.s.
I know AE CS4 runs as 64-bit Application. So I guess I can make it using CS4 SDK, But no issue in CS4 SDK Document...

as far as was published up to now,
AE CS5 will not work with plug-ins compiled with SDK CS4 and lower.
we will not know for sure until http://cs5launch.adobe.com/ will reach 0.
in other words:
you have to wait for CS5 SDK to come out, and adjust your plug-ins to true 64bit.
only then will they work with AE CS5.
the CS5 SDK is still not available to the general public and was only handed to a select few developers.
you could contact adobe and ask nicely... but i'm guessing that it will be published a short while after the tryout version release.
