2 questions on Adobe X (and 1 more on the forums)

Hi can someone who's tinkered with Acrobat X please answer the following:
1. How easy is it to build a file from pages of existing files? At the moment you can either extract the various pages or dragging between 2 open windows. Neither is very convenient if you have lots of pages in different files.
2. Is there an easy way to create a pdf file, not a portfolio, from a group of emails?
(And on the forums, does Adobe maintain 2 forum sites, forums.adobe.com and acrobatusers.com? If so, what is the difference between the 2?)
Many thanks

Thank you. I am a lawyer and Acrobat is indispensable to me when compiling exhibits to witness statements or court bundles. But where I always struggle is when trying to get individual pages from disparate files and then compiling them into a single document.
I am aware of the ability to drag and drop but it is inconvenient as you must arrange both files on screen so it only really works for the odd page. As to the Extract that is useful but it requires extracting, saving, inserting and, to avoid a build up of redundant files, deleting the extract. There is also a problem that if you are working with many pages in different places of a large document you must hold down the control button and click to select. One wrong click and you must start all over again. Surprisingly, copy/cut and paste of pages does not work between files. Your other suggestion of selecting pages in the preview screen of combine files window is also not too convenient as it is a very small screen and it can't be expanded.
My idea which I hope will be implemented one day is to create a holding tray or the ability to tag pages as you move along one or more files. When all the pages have been tagged the 'tray' is then converted into a single file.

  • How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?  When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? 
    When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection.  All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again.  The big arrowhead just get's in the way.  The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
    I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down.  If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
    I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
    Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences?  I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

    there is some font labels that do not  appear in adobe  acrobat and appear in the reader " appear as  boxes" and I need to work with the acrobat  can any body help

    I don't know if your on a Mac or a PC.
    So you need to locate the Font cache file for Acrobat (make sure Acrobat is quit) and remove to Trash/Wastebasket.
    and empty. The open Acrobat back up and the font cache file should rebuild.  If your on a Mac the simpliest way is use a Utility called fontnuke and have it remove all Font caches.
    Font cahces frequently corrupt  as they are in constant use.  Mayb Windows machines have something similar as Font Nuke.

    Hi, I need to activate my Adobe CS3 on a new computer because my old one died and I'm having difficulty. Tried the normal registration way and then logged in with my Adobe ID and can see the software and activation code already registered. How to get it on my computer registered?

    If your two activation are in use you need to call Adobe. Install CS3 to to point of activation and call Adobe at that point.  They have help me in cases like your My Disk crashed and I replaced it. Could not deactivate the crash activation.  I done that twice over the years I've been using  PS for around 20 years
    To see your key you need to click on the product in your Adobe products and services page.

    Click on the  menu at top left of your screen, choose About This Mac and, in the panel that appears, note the Version no. in the form 10.n.n. Then update your product list so we can see what version of OS X you're running on the Mac — see this tutorial:

  • My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0.

    My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can no longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0. Apple dosen't let me download Safari 5.0; so what do I do. The bank had me download Chrome, and I can now download my statements. but what a pain. Any suggestios?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • New in Premiere Pro CS5. Questions: markers, shortcuts, keyframes, and more!

    Hi everyone, this is my first post. I'm an editor from Argentina, with background in Avid media Composer, but I'm switching to premiere pro cs5 for a new job. I was highly and happily surprised with it. But, there's still a couple of things I haven't quite got right, yet.
    So, a couple of newbie questions... you'll save me a lot of time if you can answer some of them.
    Markers
    1a. Can I use markers with different colors?
    1b. Is there a way to select more than one marker and delete them at the same time? Of course, with out deleting all of them, just the ones I need.
    1c. How can I set up a shortcut for going to next\previous clip marker in the timeline? In shortcuts, I go to Marker>Go go Clip marker> and select a shortcut, but in the timeline it goes nowhere. I have made this work for sequence markers in the timeline, and this shortcut also work for going next\previous marker on a clip in the source monitor.
    1d. How can I extend a marker in the timeline? I know I can set the duration of the marker in the pop up menu... but if there a way to do it directly in the timeline?
    Razor Tool
    2. A simple one. After I've used the razor tool on a clip... how can I join the clip again?
    Track Select Tool
    3. Can the Track Select Tool, select all the clips to the LEFT, instead of all the clips to the right? In avid there's a Select Right command, which works as the track selector, but there's also a Select Left command, which does the same, but to the left.
    Audio Master Meters
    4.Another simple one. Can I put this in a horizontal way? It'll fit perfectly in the tool bar then.
    Tab sizes
    5.Can the tab size be modified? I have "Media browser", "Info", "History", "Effects" all docked... but the size of the panel is such that I can never see the four tabs at once, I have to drag the little bar at the top. Can I have the tabs be smaller so that I can see the four of them... as if they said "Media.." "inf.." "hist".."eff"... instead of wasting space with long tab names?
    Keyframes
    6. Is there a shortcut to add one? Where is it in the shorcut configuration? I know I can put them with the Pen Tool, I need a shortcut to replace the "add/remove keyframe" button on the tracks in the timeline.
    6b.How can I snap the current time indicator to a shortcut in the timeline?
    6c. Can I lazo multiple keyframes?
    Audio While Scrubbing
    7. In Preferences>Audio>Play Audio While Scrubbing I can select that on and off. How can I set a shortcut for that?
    Well... that was A LOT! Sorry for so many questions. Hopefully they can help other new users.

    From the top:
    1a. No; but you can set numbered markers, for both clips and the sequence.
    1b. No; you can delete one or all.
    1c. You have to select the clip in order to activate the command.
    1d. You can only do this in the Marker dialog.
    2. No direct way to do this. Delete either the portion before or after the edit, and then extend the clip to fill the gap. Clunky, yes.
    3. No, the Track Select tool only operates to the right.
    4. Audio meters are vertical only.
    5. The tab size matches the title of the tab; no way to change this.
    6a. No keyframe shortcut.
    6b. It doesn't work in the Timeline panel, but in the Effects Controls panel, you can hold down Shift to snap the CTI as you drag.
    6c. You can lasso multiple keyframes in the Effects Controls panel with the standard selection tool, or you can use the Pen tool in the Timeline panel. Just be sure to start within the graphical representation of the clip.
    7. No, it's only a program preference.
    Sorry that so many of them are negative! Be sure to file feature requests for anything that you'd like to see: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form

  • Questions about Adobe AIR and FLV license model

    I'm currently looking for a game development framework which I can use for a fan-project in my spare time and also for commercial projects for the company I'm working for.
    I think that the Citrus Engine which is open source and based on Apache Flex/Adobe AIR/Starling/Away3D/Box2d/Nate might be a good choice.
    But I'm really confused about the license model of Adobe AIR and its runtime distribution.
    Do I have to pay a license fee or royalties for my games (which include the AIR runtime in order to be stand-alone-apps) when I publish them?
    If so, how much are these license fees/royalties?
    Does this also concern free apps?
    What is the name of the license which I would have to request from Adobe in order to publish my games?
    Do I need several licenses when publishing an app on multiple AppStores (Apple/Google/Amzaon) or desktop distribution platforms (Steam/GOG)?
    Are there further licensing obstacles which I have to keep in mind when using Flex/AIR for (commercial) game development?
    By the way - the FAQ on the product page (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/faq.html) isn't really helping on this topic:
    "How much does Adobe AIR cost?" -> "The Adobe AIR runtime and AIR SDK are free for most users."
    This answer leaves me with the question: Am I belonging to the "most users" or not?
    Therefore it isn't meaningful at all.
    I'm also thinking about adding short video sequences as FLVs to the games.
    If I understood correctly H.264 and MP3 are currently used as a standard for these video files but aren't free.
    Is there a free alternative available for FLVs which can be used in combination with Adobe AIR?
    Or did I get something wrong here and don't need to worry about getting sued when using these formats?
    Thank you in advance for answering my numerous questions.

    That's true.
    I'm using a Dell Studio 1537 with 3GB of RAM and Intel Core 2 Duo and it's quick in Lr    

  • I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

    I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file.  I have run a number of searches and  cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
    Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.  The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members.  I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
    Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

    My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
    Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer?  Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • Updated to Firefox 18.0 and now the windows are wrapping improperly, with more and more of the right side of the window showing up on the left as you go down.

    Updated to Firefox 18.0 on a MacBook running Mac OS 10.6. Non-static areas of the window (url & search boxes, main area of window, etc.) now display incorrectly, looking like what happens when a program thinks the image is (for example) 500 pixels wide, when its actually 512 pixels wide. Each line after the first starts with what's "leftover" from the line above it, resulting in an image that appears slanted, with what should be the right side of the image appearing on progressively more on the left side of the image. No other programs (including Safari) seem to be exhibiting this problem, and it appeared immediately after the upgrade. Minimizing the window into the Dock, then re-opening temporarily fixes the problem. As soon as I scroll the window, the problem reappears.

    I am having the same problem. the screen slants to the right making the navigation impossible, also some fields like the address bar are complely messed up-looks like a no signal TV screen. I have tried to reinstall and remove the plist file. Am using firefox 18 on a intel macbook running 10.5 thanks for any help

  • I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I have tried all suggestions on the Adobe site and always get the same results. Thanks for any help

    I can not get Adobe Flash Player to update on my Mac. It keeps telling me to close Safari even though it is closed. I tried every thing on Adobe's site to fix the problem with the same results always. I went to Mac's site as well and was told to go to Adobe for a solution. It worked fine since a new Mac in Feb. ,but it will not update now so no Flash Player ay all. Thanks for any help.
