Alternatives to InDesign.  Suggestions?

As a professional, I decided, after careful consideration, Adobe Creative cloud would move a decidedly not professional for me to do - while being overpriced.  I already have my substitutes for all of my Adobe software - except one.  Who is always disconcerting is Adobe InDesign... What are the good alternatives (perhaps alternative is not perfect, but still acceptable)?  I think Quark but never used.  Some say that Mircrosoft Publisher, known as amateur as it is, has many more features than before and can actually work to professional publications.  What do you think?

It's a tough call. I'm just using Quark XPress again, after an absence of a few years and remembering how much I despise it!

Quark is also not a cheap date, of course.

Other options we of Corel Ventura and a thing called Ready Set Go, who was one of the early DTP pacakages and is still ongoing. Mac PC &. (Although it looks like it might need update for 10.7 or over Macs.)

There is also of Scribus, an open source Quark-a-like. I have not used, and I suspect that it's capacity will be limited, but it could be useful at a glance.

What kind of job do you have? What other applications have found?

Someone recommended an image editor that has good CMYK support here, but I can't find the thread.

  • [CS6] Export the page created by Alternative layout (InDesign CS6)

    How to export a page created by Alternative page layout in InDesign CS6? Or how can I get the name of the alternative page layout containing a page?

    I can usually export an InDesign page to JPEG using the exportFile of the document. Normally, it works in pageString value of application jpegExportPreferences on the name of the page that you wish to export.

    It works normally:

    // set export range to a custom range
    app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;
    
    // set pageString to the name of the page I want to export, e.g. "3"
    app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = page.name;
    
    // export page to jpg
    doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, filePath, false);
    

    The problem is, with pages created by the Alternative to the CS6 layout, there may be a lot of pages with the same name of '3 '. ExportFile method should now know the 'type' or the name of the layout of a page to export. Instead of using '3' as the pageString, I need to use something like "iPad h: 3. (See the image below). But I know not possible to get the name of a page layout. Can you please help?

  • Camileo P10 - what tools are needed?

    Hello

    first of all, I wanted to ask what codec is needed to edit the footage shot with a Camileo P10. I wanted to edit videos with Adobe After Effects, but it went all * files, indicating something preblems with audio and played the video chopped and cut. NA not having any problems, even corrupted video files worked better than the sh * this camera grows out of its sd slot.

    NO, I don't want to convert the files.
    NO, I do have solutions workaround.
    NO, I won't buy an another Toshiba cam.
    NO, I do have links of old threads that lead me no hand.

    What I want to hear is what Codec is needed, because there must be a mistake with it. Pieces very well with VLC, but not with WMP, winamp, quicktime, nothing else.

    Alternatively, you can suggest some tools that I use. I would have preferred a sledgehammer, but maybe a buzz saw is fine too. Unfortunately, I can't make a video to destroy the cam. You should know why.

    Hello

    > btw, I thought that it out by myself
    You can also post how you set for yourself? I think it would be interesting for other users.

    In addition, I put t understand your problem. Here he s a user to user forum where you can talk with people like you and me. This means that there is no guarantee that you will get an answer to your question. Not all questions can be answered users then sometimes it s advisable to contact an official authorized service provider. Guys can provide truly professional assistance.

    And I doubt that other manufactures have a better support. From my experience, I can say as I m satisfied with this forum and my authorized service provider and as you can read here, that can confirm many other users as well.

    Finally and above all the door here in the forum is portable because it s a Support Forum of computer systems that you see under the Toshiba Logo. Do you know what that means? This means that most discussions and users are in the notebook section research and software only.

    In any case, I m glad to hear the problem is solved. :)

    It will be ok to do?

    The motherboard is the: 945gz7mc (Lucknow). Different size of SATA and buffer count?

  • Swap hard drive

    I have a 5WV280 of Compaq Presario thirteen with a 80 GB PATA hard drive I want to replace it with a 80 GB drive internal SATA II Intel X 25 - M solid state - model SSDSAZMH080G2C1.  My operating system is XP Ms.

    It is possible and it will make a significant difference to the performance of the computer?

    The original motherboard will support disk SSD Intel?

    What type of adapter/converter will be needed to connect the SATA drive to the PATA cable?

    Hello

    5WV280 has a speed of only 200 MHz FSB and the requirements for the Intel Solid State Drive are fairly high.
    In addition, the motherboard only supports IDE hard drives. There is no SATA connector on the motherboard to connect SATA HDD.

    However, PATA SATA converters are available. However, the bus speed required for the connection of a Solid State drive is very high, compared to what might be available using such an alternative arrangement.

    Suggests, do not connect this HDD SSD Intel to this computer.

    Thank you.

  • Sony Handycam/HP Pavilion laptop g6

    I have a HP Pavilion g6 (C6S45EA #ABU) with Windows 8.1

    I also own a Sony Handycam DCR-HC44E. Unfortunately, my laptop does not recognize my camcorder and tells me that I have to download a missing driver. Of course, for the moment, I have no way transfer info since the strips to the laptop. Sony said that the Handycam USB driver is not supported by Windows 8 so I can't use a USB connection. Moreover, they say that I can use a connection i.Link (FireWire) using PMB as a content transfer software. However, if the laptop doesn't have an i.Link port, which I think it didn't, I will need to get either an i-link to a converter cable USB which does not always, or should I buy a FireWire PCI card for laptop / FireWire PCMCIA card port, if the laptop has a port PCMCIA. the g6's and if so it will work?

    If anyone has a clues how I can solve this problem?

    ewg46,

    According to the specifications of your computer, it does not resemble your willing of a PCMCIA port, which today is not surprising.

    Looks like you need to try one of the alternatives that you suggested.

  • Export the program annex competitor

    Hello.

    I m using tdl files to export a simultaneous development environment program to import it on the Production.  It works very well, but this competitor was scheduled to run every 30 minutes on the development environment and one on the status of the release to avoid having to manually configure a production course.

    My question is:

    Is it possible to export the timing of this competitor from development server and import it on production?

    Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2

    Thanks in advance.

    An alternative to the suggestion of Pam:

    You can create a query on the fnd_concurrent_requests and fnd_concurrent_programs for applications that you need and use the API for fnd_request.submit_request submit by using the settings that you have received the request.

    Now, he must take into account the fact that some IDs are different in every environment (application_id, resp_id, ledger_id, etc.).

    If you use any ID in the settings, then get the name or code of the request entity and write the necessary code to derive the ID and then use them to submit the application.

    Windows 8.01

    My Pagemaker 7.0.1 has stopped working.  When I try to re install it first tells me that the bot will app uninstalling load and once complete, the program stops as soon as I open it.  This is a full version under license.

    PageMaker does not work on windows 8. With no claimed to run on win 7 and 8, but not always, and no one proved a reliable configuration which is able to output several times pdf files.

    You need an old windows Xp machine to run Pagemaker.  Other alternatives are Indesign, including but expensive and complicated, worthwhile if you do a lot of page layout. Serif pageplus is a good enough alternative cheap, or Scribus which is a free alternative.

  • REGEXP_LIKE number vs varchar2

    Dear friends,

    I need to validate a base data type number against a list of values stored in a column varchar2.

    the list is stored in a column varchar2 and is like the following (note the zero to 0 after 1.6):

    1.00

    1.60

    0.66

    validation should occur for several numbers, each time against the same set of samples varchar2:

    need to validate against the list 1.25 (1.00, 1.60, 0.66)

    need to validate against the same list 1.50 (1.00, 1.60, 0.66)

    need to validate 1.66 always against the same list (1.00, 1.60, 0.66)

    because I do not want to run the query every time I need to validate number, I tried to build a string in the list do something like the following:

    If regexp_like (my_number, ' ^ $ 1.00 | ^ $ 1.60 | ^ $ 0.66 ' then...)

    where the channel model ('^ $ 1.00 | ^ $1.6 | ^ $ 0.66 ') is generated at the beginning of the validation program once.

    questions received so far:

    ' ^ $ 1.00 | ^ $ 1.66. ^ $ 0.66 ' does not recover 1

    ' ^ 1$ | ^ $ 1.66. ^. $ 66 ' gets 1 but also 466, 106 and so on.

    Have you any idea what should be the pattern for this string?

    Alternatively, could you suggest a different approach?

    Thank you
