2 versions of the same app

I have a script that calls Acrobat to open PDFs, save out EPS files and then close the PDF. It works fine on both an OS9 only Mac and my OSX G5.
However, on my G5 I have both Acrobat 5.0 and 6.0.2 Professional. I want the script to call Acrobat 5.0 in the background, thus leaving me use of version 6 if version 5 happens to be working away at the time (so I don't have to wait for 6 to get done before I can use it).
But every time I change the line in my script from:
tell application "Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional"
to:
tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
and then save and then reopen the script in Script Editor, Script Editor has changed it back to Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional.
Is there anyway I can force the script to use Acrobat 5 and not 6 for this script?

Hello
Try something like this -
(1) Copy the text of the script in question into clipboard in Script Editor.
(2) Quit Script Editor and relaunch it.
(3) Make new window of Script Editor and there paste the copied text.
(4) Compile it.
To my limited experiences, Script Editor often remembers unsolicited things behind the scenes. So try quiting it once before re-compling the script.
Hope this may help.

  • Can iTunes handle multiple versions of the same app?

    Now that iTunes, iOS, and iDevices have been around long enough for users to have multiple devices on multiple iOS versions, is Apple doing anything to allow users to run multiple versions of the same app through iTunes?
    Case in point I have an older iPhone running iOS-5 with a few apps that are now running exclusively on iOS-7, my new iPhone is on iOS-7. Once I sync my new phone with the updated versions of the app, iTunes usually dumps the old version into the trash bin. But what if I need that older version to continue running it on my iOS-5 iPhone?
    Is there a workaround for this? I've considered using an old PC as my base computer for sycning the new iPhone, but I still fear that the new app updates will go to all devices running on my iTunes account through iCloud.
    If Apple doesn't address this problem at some point then as the years go by certain iDevices will eventually become completely useless even if they are a fully functional piece of electronics.
    (spare me the "that's their plan, corporate greed" replies).
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the apps SHOULD be developed to work with the new stuff, No, not all apps keep their old versions in the App Store, BUT, finally Apple has ALLOWED developers to have multiple versions of an App in the store.
    The problem isn't about retarding development, it's about Apple trying to force users to buy new things that they don't need because the old thing, though it works just fine & has the apps that you need, is unable to be used because the apps have been updated in iTunes. Why can't you allow me to keep Facebook 5.0.1 for my old iPhone 3G that is used as an iPod, Facebook 6.7.2 for my iPod Touch & Facebook 19.6.4 for my new iPhone 8? As of now I can download the old version on the old device, but when I sync it it always tries to 'Update' it & then says 'Can't be updated because this version is incompatible with this device' making the sync take 3x as long & meaning that if my device crashes for some reason or I choose to restore it becasue of problems I have to go find the old version, hoping that I saved it, delete the new version, drag in the old version, THEN sync & then move the old version back before updating from my other device (Having done this with the 3G & iTouch 4 for years I learned that when the sync transfers purchases from the phone it 'replaces' the file instead of moving the old 1 to the trash).
    Some of these apps I have purchased, & by forcing the update to remove the old version Apple is essentially taking something I have purchased & saying I am no longer allowed to use it.
    Just in the what 3 months since the new iOS came out I have noticed that now over half of the apps can't be run on my iPod Touch 4G.
    It's simple, iTunes should either:
    Keep a record of the devices that have synced (I know, it already does) & keep the newest version for the lated iOS in iTunes
    Let users have multiple versions of the same app in iTunes & allow us to disable update checks for certain apps
    Allow users to choose to download from iTunes the different versions of the apps available from the developer
    OR
    Allow users to edit the info on Apps, unlinking them from their original & updates & allowing users to keep an old version & still download a new 1

  • Different versions of the same app on the app store

    Is it possible to let users download the different versions of the same app from the App store,( even though I have not seen it but just wonder whether it is possible) ?
    If not then can we have different releases of the same product with different feature set.
    This question is applicable for iPhone as well.
    Thanks

    Wouldn't do you any good, as you need to be a registered developer to use the forum. Just contact one of the developer's of an app you're interested in and ask the developer directly.

  • Best approach for publishing a paid version and an ad supported free version of the same app

    Hi,
    One of my Windows 8 store app is almost ready for store submission.
    What is the best approach for publishing a paid version and  an ad supported  free version of the same app.
    Can I do the following
    1. Submit the app with unlimited free trial to store
    2. During the free trial ads will be displayed
    3. If the user purchases the app, then the ad would not displayed
    Any advise is greatly
    appreciated.
    Best Regards

    Although the in-App purchase option is good but for ad based apps my approach is different.
    I would suggest putting 2 different apps in the store, one free with Ads and one without. Reason being you want the extra reference and xaml ad controls depending upon how
    many you have on the paid version of the apps. I would keep my apps as lighter and cleaner as possible specially when its a paid app.
    I currently manage both free and paid app through one solution and reuse most of the code except for the views.

  • Versioned deployments: how to deploy different version of the same app ?

    I 'd like to deploy on a server (single instance) different versions of the same web application, say:
    webapp1.war
    webapp2.war
    webapp3.war
    The wars have the same ContextRoot.
    It is possible to version them with an attribute in MANIFEST.MF, but is it possible to have the N applications ACTIVE and running ? I'd like that one IP will be served from webapp1, another IP from webapp2, another IP from webapp3, etc.

    It may your 'requirement' but I have serious doubts that the app review team will approve it. Save yourself the waste of time and follow my original suggestion of one app. That's the only correct 'method' (w/IAP of course) that will have a chance of success.
    See the iOS Human Interface Guidelines and the App Review Guidelines before you go any further. In the case where you need 'official' guidance, consider using support event w/DTS

  • Submitting iPad and iPhone versions of the same app - same product ID?

    I'm submitting a DPS app with both iPad and iPhone renditions today. Do I use the same product ID or different ones for the folios that I am submitting with each app?
    Both renditions are the exact same content, they are free so didn't require IAP approval, so I assume they should have the same ID?

    It doesn't really matter since the folios are free, but using the same Product ID for a set a folio renditions is the recommended practice.

  • Can I uninstall previous versions of Adobe Apps in my creative cloud and still use the current 2014 versions of the same apps.

  • How do you set up iTC for two Different versions of the same app?

    I have been reading the iTC Developer Guide searching for the answer to this question, but so far I have found nothing that would help.  I plan on having a Lite and a Pro version of my app, and I may also have an iPad version as well.
    I have seen some iPhone icons which differentiate these app by using a slightly different icon for the Lite and Pro versions, but how these are submitted to the app store is what I would like to know.  And, for the sake of clarity, they will be priced differently as well.
    Thanks!

    Have you read the app store guidelines yet?
    App Store Review Guidelines:
    http://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/approval/guidelines.html
    Don't go on what you've seen in the store - for every example you spot, there are hundreds that didn't make it in.
    As well, Apple is tightening up on reviews, etc.
    Loads of discussion on this in the iOS Dev Forums, BTW

  • How many versions of the same app will Apple approve?

    They have currently approved the free version but we are looking to limit features and make 2 paid versions as well.(ie. Lite, Gold Edition, Premium Edition)  It is a social organization app.

    See App Store Review Guidelines for iOS Apps / 2.11
    I think you'd have more luck with just one app that uses IAP to add more features.

  • When attempting to set up Mac OS to open a specific app (version), and selecting 'Change All' on Get Info, it reverts to most latest app version of the same.  Any clues?

    When attempting to set up Mac OS to open files with a specific app (version), through 'Change All' on Get Info, it reverts to most latest version of the same app.  Any reason why it does not allow my other version of same app to be the default one?

    I have Acrobat Pro 10.1.13 and Adobe Reader 10.1.13.
    If I use the Finder to get all PDFS to open with Reader instead of Pro, they do.  And vice versa, using the Change All.

  • How come the same apps that are available for my iPhone and my iPad are not the same as the apps in the app store on my mac

    I want some of the same apps available on my iphone and ipad2 to be available on my macbook pro app store and to be able to link them through icloud. Is this not possible? If not, why not?

    The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
    So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.

  • Can I run Release Candidate (19.02), Beta, Nightly, Aurora and ESR versions on the same computer?

    I know I can run the Beta and Nightly together on the same computer because they are installed in different directories. What I do then is that I have a Profile for each version. What I do is I run FireFox.exe -ProfileManager when I start either the Beta and Nightly builds.
    My Question is can I also install the Aurora, Release Candidate and ESR versions on the same computer like I do with the Beta and Nightly? If so, how do I go about installing them in different directories? I will create new profiles for each version. What I then do is, copy everything in my original Profile to the newly create profiles so I can keep all my plugin/addons, themes, bookmarks, etc. the same.
    Next question, (I think I know the answer but I just want to make sure) now can I sync my bookmarks from each of the different profiles that I created?
    Secondly, I now I can do the ABOUT:CONFIG in the address bar of Firefox, does anyone have any idea where I can read up on what each entry means? Also, are there any other secrets in Firefox, similar to the ABOUT:CONFIG trick? I know of one app where you can do ABOUT:ME, but that's all I know.
    I know this has been asked billions of times, but I also have to ask. Is there any chance at all that Firefox, Thunderbird, and/or Seamonkey will be ever release for the iOS from Apple? I know that it's impossible, but maybe someone MIGHT have some positive thoughts on this?
    Lastly, I know this is off topic, but I'll give it a shot. I'm using Outlook 2013, does anyone know if Outlook can handle Newsgroups? The reason why I ask is because I've just learned that there are a ton of newsgroups for Firefox, ThunderBird, and SeaMonkey. I would like to, somehow, get those Newsgroups in Outlook 2013. I already get allot of the feeds for other things, so that's not a problem.
    I would appreciate it very much if anyone could help me with these issues.
    Thank You.

    You can consider to use Firefox Sync to sync all the profiles.
    You can do a custom install of each version and install each version in its own program folder.<br />
    Safest is to modify the desktop shortcut and add -P "profile name" to the command line to start each version with its own profile.<br />
    Be careful with clicking a file in Windows Explorer to open the default browser, so make sure to select the correct profile in the profile manager and check the don't ask setting.

  • How do i "navigate between open files" in the same app

    Is there a shortcut to moving between multiple files I have open in the same app?

    Command-tilde (~) will cycle you through all open windows in the active application. (This is the same key combination as recommended by Listen Inn.)
    Command-tab will cycle you through open applications, from most recently opened back.
    Depending on your machine and OS version, you may also be able to use F3, or squeeze the two side buttons on the Mighty Mouse to show all open windows, then click the one you want to bring it to the front.
