A Note to Adobe About Online Everything

I work for a government agency in software packaging for mass deployment and for the obvious reasons, direct internet access for any reason is strictly prohibited. And as this is obvious, you would think that companies that develop software would understand the needs of their customers in this regard and make it easy to configure their software for offline only use.
Well, this is not the case when it comes to Adobe. I spend most of my packaging time configuring and "fixing" their improperly developed software. I waste hours learning how to develope Java Scripts just so I can configure help files to be local rather than online.
So my note to Adobe... Please don't release your applications without the features they used to have like offline everything.

I agree with you, what is confusing to me and what is only confusing is that there is work going on for this device, the leaks are proof, but no communication about it at all and denying it is frustrating. What is worrying me is that there have been leaks of gingerbread for the fascinate, but it still does not have it. So I am thinking we are going to end up like the fascinate, but some communication from verizon our samsung sure would be nice and end my confusion as to why there are leaks of it but no updates to a "flagship" droid phone and then denying it is being worked on. Just tell us it is and maybe why it is taking so long, I can understand that, I can live with that. Just be straight up about it, denying it and providing no information is what is frustrating. If gingerbread is too much much for this phone just say so, our if there are still problems to be worked out, just say so. How about just a few bug fixes for an update then when you can get to it?? A lil support of this phone would be great.

    I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
    I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???

  • Note to Adobe: Noticing much more problems?

    I wanted to post an honest discussion with someone from the
    Adobe Flash team just so we can guide the future of Flash for
    version 10. I know it's still early and a long way from that as
    most of us battle with our AS3 migration, but I wanted to add my
    two cents for an honest discussion. I am hoping some honest Adobe
    Flash team members can engage us in this as well.
    First of all, I have been a Flash designer / animator /
    programmer / teacher since Flash 2. Macromedia bought FutureSplash
    and released Flash 2. I have been with it all the way and love it.
    It has always been the best tool for me as a visual person who
    loves to put things together. It allowed me to be both designer and
    programmer. I have always loved it even with the difficulties of
    some of the progression of ActionScript such as the move to AS2.
    But I have to say the AS3 migration from those who have been
    in the Flash camp for along time leaves me baffled. I understand
    why AS3 is completely new. It has to leverage Flex and had to be
    built around a whole new Virtual Machine in the player. I am amazed
    with what the team has been able to accomplish; however, the
    differences between AS2 and AS3 are too different and haven't
    properly been structured and documented from the designer's
    perspective. Designers pushing the boundaries of what Flash could
    do is what made Flash a popular player in the browser. Each step of
    the way designers have had to make way to programmers coming over
    from other languages. I have no problem with that, but each step
    takes things away from designers and animators in order to give
    programmers their way of understanding. This is a slap in the face
    to those who have helped make Flash a truly universal product. I
    don't think any designers have a problem with programmers jumping
    on board, but things shouldn't have been taken away along the way
    for those who were very comfortable with the Object Orientation of
    Flash as it was. Flash has always been Object Oriented. Remember
    when Macromedia took away "Normal" vs "Expert" scripting mode and
    how pissed some people were? The change to AS3 makes that look
    juvenile.
    The reason I start this thread is not to attack Adobe. I just
    would like to start a good discussion to see if we designers can
    add something to the next round since things have been taken away
    from us. I give you this example. The foundation of good Flash
    projects (not gaudy long intros....I mean honest, well-thought out
    projects that preloaded some parts and got ready to play with
    enough data) was usually built around loadMovieNum. The analogy of
    levels and layers was the foundation of every good solid project.
    That has since been replaced with the DisplayObject.addChild();
    functionality which is fine. I am not questioning the usefulness of
    that. However, the exact foundation of all versions of Flash up to
    version 9 has now been taken away. Can someone from Adobe answer
    why things were taken away? Also, can a similar analogy be
    implemented into Flash v10? If not, why not?
    Any other examples anyone else wants to list? Go ahead, there
    are plenty.
    Once again I will state that I have no problem with AS3 and
    willing to learn it. Most of my projects are being converted and
    new projects are built around it. I just find it silly that I can't
    simply build a class that tells the main timeline to simply play();
    using root or parent as a timeline itself. What Adobe has forced
    the long-time users to do is move backward and learn their product
    all over again from scratch by taking things away thereby canceling
    the years of experience that we all gained since 1997.
    Have there been any discussions at Adobe about how to help
    bring designers back into the discussion of Flash and how best to
    ensure the Flash IDE maintains its visual approach for those who
    choose to work that way?
    There are many more points I can discuss but I don't want
    this to be any longer than it needs to be. And I know there will be
    many programmer types who don't understand and try to flame me. I
    just hope there is an honest discussion of how to ensure the
    knowledge built over the years does not have to be fully
    abandoned.

    RDcollege,
    I'd like to echo bnailWedge's encouragement to keep your
    chin up. I
    don't think your post sounds like an attack, which (to my
    thinking) is a
    great way to invite constructive input and useful discussion,
    so let's see
    who else weighs in on this thread. :)
    We all come from different backgrounds, so it's hard to give
    assurances
    to everyone. Personally, I came to Flash with an English
    degree, a love for
    multimedia, and enough natural artistic talent that the
    notion of a Flash
    career wasn't patently out of the question. ActionScript was
    difficult for
    me at first, but I wanted so badly to make things bounce
    around -- without
    the constraints of the timeline -- that I was bewitched into
    trying again
    and again (and again and again) until, after years, concepts
    started falling
    into place for me.
    I'm enough of a nerd (ask my wife!) that, somehow, I've
    managed to teach
    myself programming to a degree that I now consult and develop
    full time. As
    a kid, I wouldn't have thought I'd be a programmer one day,
    but I'm glad
    things have turned out as they have, because programming
    helps me accomplish
    what I want from a design standpoint. I remember what it was
    like to learn
    this stuff -- as Macromedia kept rolling it out! -- and that
    helps me
    empathize with your post. I'm not a computer science
    graduate. I don't
    have any background with Java or C, which means I'm not the
    sort of person
    at which Flex is aimed. I like Flex Builder well enough, I'm
    still firmly a
    Flash dude, and I don't see myself changing.
    I remember when Flash MX 2004 dropped Normal Mode, and I
    remember the
    outcry. I also saw that feature resurrected (in somewhat
    different form) as
    Script Assist in Flash 8. It's still present in Flash CS3,
    just not as
    useful (my opinion) when used with ActionScript 3.0. But
    frankly, how many
    people truly put together a complex project -- like you were
    saying,
    "honest, well-thought out projects that preloaded some parts
    and got ready
    to play with enough data" -- in Normal Mode? Complex projects
    get easier, I
    think, when you can type the code in yourself.
    > I just find it silly that I can't simply build a class
    that tells the main
    > timeline to simply play(); using root or parent as a
    timeline itself.
    This part piques my interest, because the main timeline in
    an
    ActionScript 3.0 document is, by default, a subclass of the
    MovieClip class.
    You can optionally write your own document class to extend
    Sprite instead,
    but as a MovieClip instance, the main timeline indeed
    responds to movie clip
    methods such as play(). Can you provide more detail?
    One of the examples I generally discuss when talking about
    AS3 is the
    way event handling has been simplified. Prior to AS3, there
    were a boatload
    of ways to handle events, everything from on() and
    onClipEvent() to their
    dot notation replacements (onRelease = funtion():Void {}), to
    addListener()
    (Stage, MovieClipLoader, Mouse) to addEventListener
    (components). To
    someone growing up on Macromedia, each new approach was a
    relatively small
    tool/burden to add to the arsenal -- but to new a newcomer
    ... good heavens!
    Why should there be so many? Which approach to use where? In
    AS3, almost
    eveything (with very few exceptions!) is addEventListener().
    Colin Moock wrote an article recently that speaks to this
    topic and made
    a lot of sense to me. I think it may give you some
    encouragement.
    http://www.insideria.com/2008/01/actionscript-30-is-it-hard-or.html
    For what it's worth, I'm working on a new title for O'Reilly
    that's also
    aimed at this topic. I wouldn't be surprised at all if other
    publishers do
    the same. As kglad mentioned, you can always submit to the
    official feature
    request form.
    > Any other examples anyone else wants to list? Go ahead,
    there
    > are plenty.
    When you mentioned this, you were referring to levels and
    layers, hoping
    a similar analogy would be implemented into Flash CS4. Levels
    are gone in
    AS3, true, but even during the loadMovieNum() days,
    loadMovie() allowed for
    content to be loaded into a movie clip instead. To me, that
    puts the idea
    of movie clips and levels into the same category (and in a
    sense, they were
    the same thing). Is that really so different from the current
    display list
    metaphor? The display list is still hierarchical. Layers, of
    course, are
    still present in the Timeline panel, so those haven't
    changed.
    If you list other specifics, I'll be happy to discuss them.
    Not sure if
    I can make them seem useful, but I'll try. :)

  • Please, Can't We Just Continue To Purchase Photoshop, not CC, Adobe?

    Please, could we just continue to purchase our programs, Adobe?
    I cannot go along with the Creative Cloud only option.  Although Adobe is offering great "discounts" on the Creative Cloud versions, they will absolutely raise the price each year.  (That is clearly stated in their "Terms.")  Adobe's "special discount introductory offer" goes to the "current price" after the first year.  The $9.99 / month special offer becomes $19.99 or $29.99 after a year (or much more - it is completely at Adobe's discretion how high it goes).
    I do not want or need the Cloud, Storage, or Collaborative "features" that are the hallmark of the CC releases.  I am pleased to wait for a year for new features.  (Updates for bug fixes should not be delayed, however.)
    This is just like the cable and satellite TV companies, they surreptitiously raise the monthly price, until you are paying INSANE amounts.
    Like Woody Allen said (my paraphrasing, sorry):
    "If you put a frog into a pot of cold water and slowly bring it to a boil, he will just sit there and boil - because the discomfort change is so slow, he'll hardly notice it, until he is thoroughly cooked!"
    Adobe wants us to be that frog.
    And once we have all signed up and are comfortable in our plan, Adobe wants us to forget that we are (almost invisibly to us) paying each month - while the price goes up and up each year.
    I just read about a student who signed up last year for the "introductory" CC pricing for students, and now his price is going up to $29.99 per month, after just one year.  And where does it stop? Do you think it stops at $29.99? 
    (Quick math solution: $29.99 X 12 = $359.88 PER YEAR, EVERY YEAR!  And this is not capped, so the upward monthly price is unlimited!)
    Although I love the products, I don't want to pay another gouging cable or satellite company!
    Thanks for listening.
    And Adobe, could you please, please continue to offer our "old-style" purchasing of new versions of Photoshop?
    I will not join the 'Cloud.' 
    Please join Me.

    To several answerers to my original post:
    I'm not crying about potential increases.  I'm demanding that Adobe end this affront to the long-time users that made Adobe (and Photoshop) an international success and a standard.  Yes, we have benefitted from an excellent, forward-pushing application.  But we did not get it for free, and every upgrade was at a cost.  Now, to stay "current," we have to accept a new "business model," that will make Adobe richer per user than previously imagined.  I purchased the Photoshop that was purchased outright, for me to use until my computer OS could no longer do so.  To change this method of using a program that we have used for so long is unacceptable.  I don't want to change - I should not have to change.  It is Adobe that established this method of selling the program to me, and although they can change whenever they want, I don't have to accept it.
    It is not enough that "I have the ability to go elsewhere for my imaging / retouching, etc. program.  Adobe owes us in a big way.  We do NOT have to accept this change, when they are taking a program that we all do need and use, and changing our ability to afford it or keep current with features, or when our operating system changes.  I do understand that Adobe wants to make money (I believe that they have, by the way).  But they are changing an understanding, or implicit agreement (whether explicit or "implied" - it does not matter) that we all had with them.  That understanding was that we would be supported in learning, using, and even forming businesses around their product - and we could be assured that they would continue to supply the product in a way that we could dependably and similarly continue to use it.  This is a MAJOR change from the usability that we have come to use, expect, and be comfortable with - and this is NOT acceptable!
    As long as Adobe is not satisfied with their subscriber base numbers, they will continue the low initial discount price.  As soon as their numbers approach what they want, the initial discount will end. 
    Will prices go up?
    Someone asked: "How do I know the prices will go up?"
    My initial answer was, "Have you subscribed to any satellite or cable services?"
    But here's an example clipped from these very forums:
    Creative Cloud billing issues...
    Dec 6, 2013 9:04 AM
    My year subscription to Adobe Cloud ends in a month and in an email I received it noted that my monthly bill will be going up from 29.99 to 49.99, I have tried to contact Adobe by online messenger and by the phone but no response yet. I am a student at Graduate School and had been paying the student price but now with my renewal it wants me to pay more....something is not right.
    If any help could be given, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Imagine your $9.99 Introductory Offer going up to $29.99 after one year.
    Because it WILL.
    So indeed, we may have no power to change this.  We know that they are going to TRY to do this anyway.
    But . . . We can still let them know just how strongly we DO NOT WANT THE CC only.
    Please: Everyone write Adobe! Tell them this is wrong!  Tell them NO!
    They may actually be listening after all.
    Or "go silently into that good night," knowing you just kept quiet and accepted what is best for them, without letting them know how you feel about it!

  • Could not launch Adobe Stabilization Server Error

    Hey Guys, I'll take you down the road I've been traveling on for the past few hours.
    - Installed CS5.5, everything runs smoothly for the first hour, then I close After Effects,
    - Open it back up again, and receive the "Quicktime in not Installed, some plugin's will not work" So I research that fully, realize it isn't actually a problem and stop thinking about it. I also get an Output Module Error on Startup.
    - I gather some clips together 1920x1080 23.976, normal 60D footage that I was testing to see stabilized, since it worked very well on my 7D footage (But I doubt its the footage that is causing the problem.
    - When I drag, or go into effects and add Warp Stabilization to the clip, I get this error:
    "After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Stabilization Server. (514) ( 25 :: 101 )"
    - And nothing will happen, can't analyze the footage or the error will pop up again.
    My Mac:
    MacbookPro 17inch
    2.2Ghz Intel i7
    4GB memory
    Running it off of my 1tb 7200rpm external hard drive.
    My Firewall is off (turned it off to test one of the Quicktime error solutions, I've had it both on and off, and both problems stay the same)
    So throw me any bits of info, I know this has been out for exactly a day, but this sucks. I'm just glad that I'm testing it now, and not later
    Thanks guys,
    Zac

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the new Warp Stabilizer. We did have a couple reports of this exact problem during beta testing, but were never able to get it to reproduce for us, or even for the beta testers that experienced the problem.
    Some steps/questions:
    0) Take a screenshot of all your running processes using Activity Monitor and Cmd-Shift-4.
    1) What are your _exact_ steps to reproducing the problem (there are many ways to invoke the stabilizer, for example)?
    2) Did you successfully use Warp Stabilizer before on this machine? (I see you already used it on 7D footage successfully)
    3) Does it still happen after you quit & relaunch? (with no other apps running)
    4) Does it still happen after you reboot & relaunch?
    5) If it still happens, try turning Multiprocessing on in the prefs, click OK to dismiss the dialog, then bring it back up and turn Multiprocessing off, and OK again. Then stabilize. Does that help?
    If you get it working, please repeat step 0, then post both pictures comparing before & after.
    Thanks,
    DaveS (Principal Scientist, Adobe Systems)

  • Could not install adobe master collection on my Macbook 2.1

    Could not install adobe master collection on my Macbook 2.1, it says UNmountable. can anyone help?

    In order to install iTunes 10.7, you need to install OS X 10.6 or later. On your system, click on the apple to the left of the menu bar, and about this mac. It will tell probably say OS X 10.5.x.
    In order to get OS X 10.6, call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE. Cost is $20. When you receive the DVD, first backup your system, then install the operating system update. When done, perform Software Update several times until there are no more updates. At that point, you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can download iTunes 10.7.  Your system needs 1GB minimum of memory in order to install OS X 10.6, also. The about this mac pop-up will tell you how much memory you have.
    You can install OS X 10.7 Lion, if you want, however, since your goal is to sync your iPhone 5, I'd upgrade to OS X 10.6 and leave it there.

  • Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223

    As far as I can determine, Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (identified on the Plug-ins list as "Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223") when I access most of the pages on the MSN website. Whether it will display any specific video is unpredictable but it displays about one out of five.
    If I place the mouse cursor on the blank black video display area (for which no controls or buttons are displayed), and click the right mouse button, then either (1) the context menu is the same as for clicking the mouse cursor on an empty part of the page, or (2) the context menu is not displayed at all.
    Apparently, Firefox has failed to load the plug-in, but does not display any error message. Neither is there any error message displayed by the plug-in.
    If you think I am willing to undertake a trial-and-error odyssey through various "do this and see what happens" recommendations in "Knowledge Base" articles and the like, then think again. I don't have the time to make the effort, and I will use Internet Exporer instead. It ought to work with MSN just fine. :-)
    Since I did not develop Firefox, this is not my problem to solve. It's your software, not mine, and I didn't make the mistakes, so you fix it.
    By the way:
    Either Firefox Help does not display the version correctly, or your Troubleshooter doesn't obtain the data correctly. Help says version 33.1 and Troubleshooter says 33.0. YES I KNOW THAT FIREFOX 33.1.1 IS AVAILABLE. SO WHAT?
    Troubleshooter also identifies the Shockwave Flash plug-in as "15.0 r0" but the native Add-ons feature identifies it as 15.0.0.223 -- which is the version that Adobe uses.
    The last line of the Troubleshooter's "educated guesses" just has "* 5.1.30514.0". I have no idea as to what that refers to and I doubt that anyone else would have one either.
    Well, maybe those numbers are good enough for "educated guessers" but in my experience computers do not make "educated guesses" even if software developers do.
    Enjoy!

    Please refrain from posting scattergun boilerplate suggestions.
    Please post specific instructions that will resolve the problem. If you don't know why the problem occurs and how to remedy the problem, then don't bother.
    Realize that the problem did not occur with the previous version of Adobe Flash Player, but began after it was updated to 15.0.0.223. So it is is apparently specific to that version, and it may reflect a flaw in Adobe Flash Player. There's no way to actually report it to Adobe. Posting a report in their "user forum" just produces replies like the one that you have posted in reply to my OP, so what is the use?
    Evidently you presume that Firefox does not have a bug, that something else doesn't work and you may be right. However, if Firefox does have a bug, then nothing that you have posted will correct it, and experimenting according to your boilerplate will be nothing but a waste of time and effort.
    Again, the problem is not that Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 does not run, but that it does not run when I attempt to view most of the videos on MSN. It does display videos from YouTube and other websites with an occasional specific exception. If the failure occured on more websites, and with all MSN videos, then maybe your suggestions for investigating it would have more merit.
    For what it is worth: the problem occurs in Firefox Safe Mode and without Firefox Safe Mode. Disabling or enabling any extensions or other plug-ins has no effect.
    I established that while investigating why Firefox 33.1 started producing crash reports every time that it initially displayed the New Tab page when I visited MSN (Firefox 32 did not do that). I also checked whether the actions that I took to troubleshoot that behavior affected Adobe Flash Player on MSN. They didn't.
    Apparently the crash reports occured because Firefox could not find or could not load the "thumbnail" images for website pages that I had previously seen (they are often deleted by ''CCleaner''). The crash reports stopped after I made a couple of changes to the configuration for the ''SandboxIE'' sandbox in which I run Firefox.
    Frankly, Firefox "Safe Mode" is something I don't need, because I run Firefox in a ''SandboxIE'' sandbox, which is a much more comprehensive security measure than anything implemented by any specific application. At the moment I don't recall whether Firefox Safe Mode is enabled, although I probaby re-enabled it after disabling it during the crash-report investigation. But it didn't make any difference with regard to Adobe Flash Player in that context, so there's no reason to repeat it.

  • Sound through hdmi to my tv works but not when watching video online like 4OD

    the sound through hdmi to my tv works with music and videos I have downloaded, but not when watching video online like 4OD and youtube.
    How can I get it to work?

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • "file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online"

    I have been getting errors for about a week when trying to convert a PDF to a word document. In Acrobat I get the error "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF Online" and when online using ExportPDF I get a conversion failure.
    Please help.

    Hi PeterChick,
    Does it occur with all files or a specific file?
    Are you trying to convert from within Reader or from Browser?
    If from Reader then make sure you are signed in within Reader, also try updating Reader to the latest v11.0.09 and check.
    If from Browser then have you checked with a different browser if possible?
    Regards,
    Florence

  • I have a 2007 Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I go about bringing everything on it up-to-date? Maybe refurbishing it? How much might that cost approximately?

    Okay so there are a few things you can do to bring your MacBook up to speed. You may find, however, that purchasing a new computer will be more cost effective for you.
    Adding RAM - this is one place you can get very good value for your money. Max out your MacBook's RAM.
    Purchase and install a larger hard drive. If you've been running out of drive space or just want more, hard drives are inexpensive and easy to install.
    Update your operating system - You can get Snow Leopard for $29 from Apple. When it comes out next month you can then get Lion for $29.99 from the Mac App Store. Unfortunately as of yet there is no way known to upgrade directly from Leopard to Lion.
    Add an external hard drive to your system for backup. This is always a good idea to have, as data that is in only one place is vulnerable to loss if your hard drive fails.
    Update all of your applications. Many can be bought online now through the Mac App Store, which has made it easy and inexpensive for applications that are available there.
    Things you cannot upgrade -
    Your MacBook's processor. This is the brain of the computer and a faster one will give you a speed boost in some applications. It is part of the logic board so you can't put a new one in.
    Video card - also part of the logic board.
    Interfaces such as FireWire, USB, video out, audio in and out.
    If you need any of these, look for a newer computer.
    Hope this helps you out.
    Best of luck.

  • I can not download Adobe Premiere Elements 11

    I can not download Adobe Premiere Elements 11 which I just paid for online. The Adobe website tells me I need Internet Explorer 4 or higher. I have version 10 IE. How do I get my download?

    This question pops up frequently in these forums. It's a known issue with IE10 and Adobe's website.
    The Adobe download manager seems to confuse IE10 for IE1 and thinks IE10 is out of date.
    You can either use Compatibility View in  IE10 and switch to IE9.
    Or use a different browser to download.

  • Difficulty converting file keeps coming up with "file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online

    Can't convert file keeps coming up with message "file failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online.

    Hi Dude291,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble with ExportPDF. Can you please tell me a bit more about what's going on, so we can get to the bottom of the issue?
    What browser are you using? Have you tried clearing the browser cache?
    Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
    Are you able to convert other files? Or is the error specific to this one file?
    How large or complex is  the file that you're trying to convert?
    Are you accessing ExportPDF from a networked computer that may have firewall/proxy settings that are limiting access to the Internet?
    I think that's good for starters. Please get back to us with some detail about the problem and we will see what we can do.
    Best,
    Sara
