Sometimes I wonder if they don't create the list of default options just to fuck with us users?

Tips & Tricks / InDesign/Acrobat/PhotoShop tri...
Last post by DigiCorn - April 15, 2024, 02:47:32 PM
Having been out of the game a few years, I ran into a couple issues today and discovered two new (to me anyway) cool tricks.

If you need an image from an Acrobat file (without any of the text or crap someone might have included in the file), open the file in Photoshop. When you get the preview window, tic the radio button that says, "images," (it defaults to whatever you did last). Voila - an unmolested image.

#2, in InDesign, which was freshly installed on my machine, the default setting for image handling was set to Auto-Fit "on." This meant every time I tried to edit the frame on a placed image, the image would resize and/or distort. To turn the default Auto-Fit, "off," it's not in the preferences - you have to go to Object --> Fitting --> Frame Fitting Options and turn it off there.

I do this frequently from my Mac at home to various Windows Servers and PC's at work.
Although i dont do a lot of file sharing.
No problems as long as your company firewall allows it.

We have Palo Alto firewalls and use the PA GlobalProtect Clients for VPN access and it always works flawlessly and fast!

JumpDesktop has been good. Not great. I have been using it for years to access my work computer and my parent's computer when needed. And it is cheap.

Thanks for the post; they only have 2 rollers for Xerox scanners, and neither of them will work.

At the state, we are supposed to come up with at least 2 competitive bids on everything. I can't find a second one, so I have to file paperwork for a, "no-bid."

Quote from: Joe on April 10, 2024, 08:48:32 AMTeam Viewer won't work if it determines you are trying to login to a business. I tried it from home and it flagged the workplace I was trying to login to as a business and would not allow the connection. Not sure how they determine if it is a business or not though.
That's a good question. I was clearly working for a business, operating multiple machines at more than one location and I wasn't doing it because I was looking for a good time. Team Viewer never gave me any guff about that, but every 3-4 hours or so it seemed like I had to restart the client on my end because it'd get sluggish. I didn't have the best monitors at home, but the resolution was pretty good on my substandard setup.
