Acrobat 8 on iMac: Preview Function Not Supported?

I just tried to use the Preview function under Print in Acrobat and it says that Preview is not supported. Is this a problem with Acrobat 8 on OS 10.5? Is there any way to fix it?

>I was wondering if it was possible to just uninstall the Acrobat 7 portion of CS2 and just install Acrobat 8?
It's possible but she would have to purchase 8 separately.
Actually she would have to purchase 9 separately. 8 isn't being sold any more.

Preview does not support PDF features

I have generated a number of PDF files in Adobe Acrobat that are questionnaires. The intent is to have the users fill out forms, click radio buttons and check boxes within the PDF and using buttons embedded on the questionnaire email them back to me. I have run into many problems with my questionnaires by Mac OSX users. It turns out when they open my Questionnaire (PDF) Preview launches instead of Adobe Reader. Evidentially Preview is the default application for PDFs. Preview does not support "calculations" "actions" for buttons including "submit a form" and does not auto font size in the forms they fill out.
Is there something in Preview that causes this issue that preview users need to do? It clearly appears Preview is not a good substitute for Abode Reader that is free and the standard for PDF viewing.

The issue I have run into is that Adobe has generated a way that you can distribute forms to a large group of people, they can in return send back the data that they filled out. Acrobat can then tabulate the data automatically. It is a very powerful tool.
I don't doubt it. However, it is a purely Acrobat solution. I'm sure there is other software that can do the same thing. Have you considered a web site instead? You could build an HTML page to distribute to people and it would have all the same features. Plus, it would work with any web browser.
The problem I have is Apple has decided to make Preview their default PDF reader application. When a Mac users opens the PDF file things may not work and they do not understand why. They get frustrated and quit filling out the form, therefore locking out getting data from all Mac users. This is an unnecessary burden to put on Mac users!
Then why don't you pick a method that would work with a stock MacOS X machine?
Adobe Reader is free so why compete with a free application??
Adobe Reader is free for end users to download. If Apple included it as part of MacOS X, the would have to pay Adobe many millions of dollars. Furthermore, while Acrobat Reader does have many nice features, it is a slow, bloated behemoth that fewer and fewer people want to use anymore. That is why there are so many other PDF viewers these days - people don't like Acrobat Reader.
I just think they should not have a fully functional PDF reader as the default application for PDFs.
Preview is fully functional. But Apple can't read Adobe's mind and support every new feature that Adobe throws in to try to keep customers. Your PDF solution is an Adobe solution. Adobe software just isn't as ubiquitous as it used to be. Times change. I suggest you look into some other method of form distribution, such as HTML and Javascript.

Preview does not support the raw file format of the nikon d300s

preview does not support the files and snow leopard does not provide icon previews either.
is there any date when there will be support for these type of files?
any suggestions on how to open the NEF files with preview in the meantime there is an update?
regards

any suggestions on how to open the NEF files with preview in the meantime there is an update?
Not with Preview, but Nikon Transfer v1.0.1.3005 is so far happy with 10.6.1 and you may see if there is any advantage there. Take the card out of the 300s and use a reader if you have to.
It usually takes from 3 to 6 months before Apple releases a new/specific Nikon RAW related update, so you are at the beginning of that cycle it would appear...all you can do is wait, sorry.

Pass on lot size" function not supported in costing runs

hi when i am doing cost estimate through ck40n i am getting following error.
Pass on lot size" function not supported in costing runs
Message no. CK463
Diagnosis
You have selected costing variant PPC1 for the costing run. The Pass on lot size indicator is set in this costing variant. Costing variants in which this indicator is set cannot be used by the costing run.
System Response
The costing run is not created.
Procedure
You have the following options:
Reset the Pass on lot size indicator in costing variant PPC1 so that the lot size is not passed on.
Use a different costing variant in which the Pass on lot size indicator is not set.
if any one had found any same king of error please help me in fix it.
thanks
kareem

Probably this might be the cause
Sales order by Costing
Check out the below
Pass On Lot Size
Definition
If this indicator is selected, the system determines the costing lot size using the lot size of the highest material in the BOM and the input quantities of the components.
Use
1) Do not pass on lot size
If this indicator is not selected, the materials further down in the structure are costed in accordance with the lot size in the costing view of the material master record. When the materials in the next-highest costing level are costed, the costing results of the semifinished materials are converted to the lot size of the finished material to calculate the material costs for the finished product.
2) Pass on lot size only with individual requirement
In the MRP view of the material master record, you can specify that a material is planned as an individual requirement. If such a material is added to another material, costing uses the lot size of the highest material.
3) Always pass on lot size
Here, the costs for all the materials in a multi-level BOM are calculated using the costing lot size of the highest material. This function is used principally in sales order costing.
If you are costing sales orders using product costing for a material with a multilevel BOM that is produced in-house, choose 2) or 3) . For those individual requirements materials, from a business management point of view it is recommended that the order lot size be used when costing the material components going into the finished product. On the other hand, materials subject to collective requirements are generally costed using the costing lot size in the material master record.
Thanks

Why is the PWDCOMPARE function not supported on an Azure SQL Server 2014 database

I have tried to publish a database from our local SQL Server to Azure but receive an error saying PWDCOMPARE is not supported with no link to a reason why.
We are using HASHBYTES function to encrypt passwords in our database and
PWDCOMPARE to validate them and we currently don't have an alternative (see article: http://sqlity.net/en/2460/sql-password-hash/). The PWDCOMPARE function is referenced by a stored procedure,
which is what won't publish to Azure.
It would be useful to know if it will be supported or if we should create a VM instead.
EDIT: Further Clarified question above, but basically the functions listed are documented in MSDN and there is no mention of them being undocumented unsupported features.
The error occurs when trying to publish a database to Azure from SQL Server 2014 Management Studio

Hi,
I am not an expert to answer this but am trying my best to answer this query.
Hashes a password and compares the hash to the hash of an existing password. PWDCOMPARE can be used to search for blank SQL Server login passwords or common weak passwords.
Syntax
PWDCOMPARE ( 'clear_text_password'
, password_hash
[ , version ] )
Note: This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.
I am not sure whether this feature is not available on SQL 2014.
I think you can solve this issue by using the EXECUTE AS. Add this query into a procedure with EXECUTE AS with the user/login with sufficient permissions on the server.
Refer to belw link for more details on EXECUTE AS
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188354.aspx

IMac PC does not support latest Adobe FP/can't watch Youtube/Only solution=new computer??

I can no longer watch You Tube because the latest version of Adobe Flash Player
will not download to a PPC. I run Tiger 10.4.11 (I know that's ancient but it works
very well!) Does this mean the only way to view You Tube would be to buy a new
computer? Everything runs perfectly except You Tube. I've never been a big fan of the site
I still would like to have access to it but buying a new computer to get one site seems
like a bridge too far. I have Adobe flash Player and but not the latest version.
This problem only happened recently which seems strange. I even have a
couple of videos on the site and have access to my account. I can get the site and my account but
first the sound stopped playing a month or two ago but the videos still played. Now the videos
don't play at all. From what I've heard, only a computer with Intel can accept the latest version of
Adobe. Any thoughts or tips??

It will work on a PPC Mac running Leopard, but not Tiger:
I am in the same boat. I run a G5 PPC iMac and I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, and it struggles on YouTube.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they all work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have enabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the interesting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 11.5.502.55 in TenFourFox and it works just fine. Here is how to get a working version of Flash Player:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

'Preview' app not supported on this type of Mac

When I'm trying to launch the 'Preview' app (either from Launchpad, or by clicking any image/pdf file twice), the following message appears:
You can't open the application "Preview" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
The last time it worked fine was two weeks ago. No new applications installed, no hardware changes. Restarting the Mac does not help. Disk utility permissions check done, permissions repaired.
I can still launch the 'Preview' app by double-clicking Preview in
/Applications/Preview/Contents/MacOS/
(I have to click 'Show Package Contents' in the context menu of the 'Preview' app in Applications to see its content)
The 'Preview' app is the only application with a white-grey prohibition sign on its icon. All the other applications work fine.
Please help.

Thanks, Drew Reece. This is the 'Get info' screenshot.
I will try to reinstall the OS then.
It is even funny how fragile the OS is. I guess the simple update to 10.9 have broken the 'Preview' app...
UPDATE:
I don't see a way to backup the OS w/o a TimeMachine. I would not like to change logical structure of the hard drive.

Regular Expression functions not supported in Interactive report filters ??

I'm using APEX 4.0.2 and I'm trying to create a row filter in an interactive report which uses regexp_instr and regexp_replace functions and I'm getting the message:
Invalid filter expression. regexp_instr
The code runs fine in SQL Workshop
select cytogenetics from z_patient
where regexp_instr(regexp_replace(cytogenetics,'(\,+|\"+|\s)',''),'(^46XX$|^46XY$|^46XX\[..\]$|^46XY\[..\]$)')=1
CYTOGENETICS
"46,XX [20]"
"46,XY[20]"
"46,XX"
"46,XY[20]"
"46,XY[30]"
"46,XY[26]"
"46,XY [33]"
"46,XX[32]
etc...
my filter is just the where clause above i.e.
regexp_instr(regexp_replace(cytogenetics,'(\,+|\"+|\s)',''),'(^46XX$|^46XY$|^46XX\[..\]$|^46XY\[..\]$)')=1
*Are regular expression functions just not supported in interactive report filters?*
thanks in advance
Paul P

Hi Paul,
regular expression functions are supported in interactive report filters, but it looks like that REGEXP_INSTR hasn't been added as valid command. Only REGEXP_SUBSTR and REGEXP_REPLACE are valid commands for computation expressions and REGEXP_SUBSTR, REGEXP_REPLACE and REGEXP_LIKE for row level filters.
I have filed bug# 12926266 to fix this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Late 2012 iMac 3TB does not support Boot Camp Assistant

Got my new customized iMac 27' yeasterday. After installing some soft, I decided to install Windows 7 as second OS on Boot Camp. After clicking the Boot Camp Assistant icon, programm opens, and immediately it shows error "Boot Camp Assistaint does not support Windows installation on this iMac 3TB" or something like that (I have a russian version of dashboard/OS). Only option available at that moment - button "OK", which exits Boot Camp A|ssistant.
So... Any suggestions on how to solve the problem? I really need Windows as second OS, and don't want to install it like a virtual/emulator machine.
My customized iMac "loadout" is Core i7 3.4, 16Gb DDR, Nvidia GeForce 680MX 2Gb, 3TB Hard Drive.
P.S. I thought this may be solved by separating Hard Drive into partitions (main, which is for Mac OS, and little tome for Windows, formated into MS DOS FAT system), still - this has not helped me.

PDF form created in Acrobat X - Mac Preview does not wrap text

This is driving me crazy, please excuse me if this is rudimentary -
I created a document in Word that will be a daily form filled out and saved as individual pdf's.
In Acrobat X, I opened this doc & created a form.
If I open with Acrobat reader or X, the form holds all parameters including "shrink to fit" with text...
But, Preview clips the text... it centers text like I requested but doesn't adjust font size to fit...
Is there a step I'm missing? This form needs to be filled out correctly in Preview - is this possible?
Thanks

You should NEVER expect that Apple's Preview application will be able to give the quality of preview you'll see in Acrobat. Apple chooses to implement or not implement the parts of the PDF specification that they choose.
You should complain about this in the Apple user forums because they developed the application, not Adobe.

Why does iMac (Mid 2012) not support Jumbo Frames?

Why is it not possible to change MTU size to more than 1500? Buying such a high quality product, I would expect that it supports jumbo frames!
My NAS supports jumbo frames, the Air Port Extreme does but a brand new iMac doesn't???
Is there any patch or somethin to fix this?
Thanks!!!

Hi Marcus,
I find conflicting info on this...
The Ethernet port supports the configuration of Ethernet frames larger than 1,500 MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4619
Can anyone confirm if the new 2011 imacs already support jumbo frames? I heard it now uses a new broadcom ethernet chip that now supports jumbo frames on the 21 inch model. They removed jumbo frames support in the previous i5 and i7 models...
Hmm, I remember that the iFix tear down revealed that the 2011 iMacs had a Broadcom BCM57765B0KMLG Eithernet chip. (just go to the page and if you are using safari/firefox press command + F and type "Broadcom" to jump to that particular)
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iMac-...eardown/5485/2
so I did a little googling and found out that:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Eth...lient/BCM57765
Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T transceiver with:
- 10/100/1000BASE-T triple-speed MAC
- Compliant with IEEE standards
- Compliant with IEEE 802.3az draft standard for Energy Efficient Ethernet™ (EEE)
- State-of-the-art physical layer interface that exceeds IEEE requirements
- Jumbo frame support with up to 9.6 KB frame size
- EthernetAV protocols with IEEE 802.1AS, 1588-2008, IEEE P802.1Qat and IEEE P802.1Qav support
So it should support Jumbo Frames.

Preview does not support RAW

I just bought a Canon SX60 HS. I was shooting in RAW format. Does anyone know when Preview or IPhoto will be able to support this camera in RAW format?
Is there a work around? It supports the Canon SX50 HS.

Your camera should have come with Canon software such as Digital Photo Professional. If it's not the latest, you can get it from Canon at this link to update what you have. Shooting RAW gives great flexibility in processing but you need the software that can offer that flexibility.

IMac with RadeonHD2600 not supporting WebGL

I'm running a 2.8Ghz core2 Duo imac (2008) iMac with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card (EFI Driver 01.00.219) and cannot run any WebGL applications or sites using a WebGL supported browser like Chrome. I'm up to date on all my software updates (OSX 10.6.7) and the latest version of Chrome.
The page from Google below lists the Radeon 2600 as a supported card. Not sure what the option is here. Software update does not tell me there are any available software or firmware updates. suggestions?
http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=1220892

Hello,
The Google web page you linked only contains a list of unsupported graphics cards. Support may or may not appear in the future, but you should still be able to view WebGL with Chrome's software renderer. I have the same machine and I first used WebGL today.
Additionally, according to Wikipedia Safari supports WebGL but it is disabled by default. Apparently it can be a security risk.
