Editing metadata in the file properties window

Hi,
I’m using Win XP SP3 on a “normal” Desktop-PC. Since my problem is not connected to hardware I think that description is enough but I do not know which software information is required. So you may ask. Important is maybe that I am running Adobe Acrobat and Reader simultaneously on the same machine.
The problem: I always changed and edited some of the metadata of my PDF files by bringing up the file properties window of the PDF (right click - properties). Next to the “General”-Tab is the “PDF”-Tab. You can see the title, author, topic, dates and PDF-Version of the document. The first four fields where always editable textboxes. I get used to put in some comments and other important information because I didn’t want to use any tool. Now the complete window is locked. Is this because of the new 9.3.3 Reader update? I updated so many times and never anything like this happened. How can I turn back to the old behavior?
I do not want to edit those information in Acrobat by choosing File and then propertis because it takes much more time because i have to open the file (if it is one its fine) but if there are more where the same info shall be in I'd like to use the built in function of the properties sheet in windows.
With kind regards

At first I asked that question by mistake in the wrong forum so I put in it here. But it has been answered there http://forums.adobe.com/message/2973589
so I mark this as answered, too.

Shall this be a Feature of the new 9.3.3 update? If yes I just can say it isn’t. And my question would then be: How I can turn back to the old behavior?

    Thanks,
    I just ran the Acrobat repair installation and I got the expected function back. In addition it does not matter any longer which icon I click (reader or acrobat) to open Acrobat. The reason for having both installed is just that I needed a "pdf viewer" from the first minute after having installed the OS and installing Acrobat needs much more configuration in my case then just the "tiny" Reader equivalent. The best thing: I did not realize any other problem.
    Kind regards,

  • Unable to edit metadata for some files, Bridge CS6

    I am editing metadata for .wav files, and somehow a few of them have become locked for editing. I have checked the properties for these files and still have full permissions for all users.
    As you can see in the screen capture below, the pencil icons you click to edit the metadata are gone and an error message comes up. Thanks for any help you can give!

    Wow, I just answered my own question...
    After an hour trying to figure this out, I decided to just go ahead and edit the images, but "Edit in Camera Raw" was not an option.  So, I went to Tools \ Cache \ Purge Cache for Folder "xxx"
    Problem solved.

  • Keyword and description not included in the Page Properties window

    There is no  Keyword and Description option in the Page Properties window (metadata). The only item available is HTML as <head>. How do I get Keyword and Description options included?

    A master page has no keyword or description section, because it isn’t exported as HTML.

  • CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

    CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print.  Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print.  This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be.  I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes.  The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
    Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Sender file adapter is not picking the file from windows server

    Hi Experts,
    We have a sender file adapter running on Unix server. Now we have changed the source directory path from Unix to Windows in file access parameters.  It is not picking the files from windows directory and not showing any error.
    In this scenario, input file for sender adapter is *.xml and no content conversion.
    Could any one please let me know is there anything needs to changed in file adapter.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sridhar. M

    Sridhar,
    What do you have in the directory path?
    If it is a shared drive in unix then the directory in windows should also be a shared drive from XI system. Else if it is FTP check the address.

  • The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.

    Hi All,
      I am on MDM 5.5 SP6.
      I am getting the following error message when trying to logging in to the DM.
    The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.This application will now exit.
    Runtime Error :
    Program C :\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Data Manager\Datamanager.exe
    R6025.
    -Pure virtual function call.
    And in console also the MDM server is stopped after getting the above error message.
    Can anybody tell me what could be the problem?
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.

    Hi Sireesha,
    According to me, there can be 3 problems,
    1. Kindly check whether the MDM server is stopped. If it is, then restart the MDM Server and Load the repository with Update indices.
    2. If this error is coming with every repository, the problem will be either in the Version mismatch of the Server and the GUI's you are using. Kindly ensure that the versions for the MDM server and the MDM Gui's Match.
    3. If only Data manager Client is giving the problem, then you can un-install and install the DM GUI again.
    Along with this, please refer to the link below :
    [[The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.;]
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Windows 2k8R2 - Receiving Error when logging in ( MMC Cannot open the File: C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc)

    Windows 2008 R2 - I just started receiving this when i log in, and also when i try to manage the machine:
    MMC Cannot open the File:
    C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.msc
    This may be because the file does not exist , is not an MMC console , or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.
    This always worked before, and works for other users just not me on this particular box. This is a production box and i need a resolution quick please. Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'

    since adobe reader 10.1.2 urls don't work in pdf files to folders.
    C:\WINDOWS\xy.xls  
    ok
    C:\WINDOWS
    not ok > adobe reader 10.1.2 could not open the file '/C/WINDOWS'
    C:\WINDOWS
    ok > with deactivated protected mode
    no problems with 9.5.0 or 10.1.1 with activated protected mode 
    is that known? any other workaround?
    thanks

    Hi,
         I also have Reader 10.1.2 installed on my machine and I also cannot open a link in the PDF, that will eventually call an exe file. I don't think that there would be different behaviour on your machine. So, I think, now this is the expected behaviour Reader 10.1.2 onwards.

    What you can download via Safari on the iPad is very limited - you can only download apps from the iTunes app store on your computer to sync to the iPad, or from the App Store app directly on the iPad
