Acrobat 6, Searches, Wildcards, and How It's Created

Greetings,
Using Acrobat 6 Professional 6.0.0.5 to edit pdf documents created with FrameMaker 7. I open the pdf document to start my editing and my first step is to search for frequent errors (we have some strict conventions). I'm unable to search for period-space-space, space-hyphen-space, etc.
I was going through my usual process and realized that I can't seem to search using wildcards. The only reference to wildcards that I can find in the Help documentation is that you can't use them with stemming searches. Google searches haven't yielded any more than that. Perhaps I'm just accustomed to FrameMaker, in which I can search for all SORTS of things.
I tried searching for a word sitting right on the front page, only putting in either a ? or a * in place of one of the letters, and I get zero results (Adding quotation marks doesn't help).
This led me to two questions:
1 - Can Acrobat 6 do wildcard (?, *) searches and, if so, how?
2 - Some of us Save As... to pdf, others Print to PDF, is it possible that the two methods create documents that have different search properties?
Thanks,
Solon Aquila

I have Adobe Reader 6.0.6 which I last updated 4/17/08 (think I had all available updates by then). My 1999 Dell PC uses Windows 98 SE operating system. Today 7/10/08 (when going to Adobe.com), it appears that Adobe no longer supports any Adobe Reader 6.0 version and also has stopped recognizing Windows 98 (lowest is 2000) - thus users are out of luck vis-a-vis getting updates or support. Since April 2008, I have been unable to open/view many PDF files from online sources (where I could previously access the same files). These PDF files show as a blank page with a colorful icon in the upper left-hand corner. Is there any possible fix to this problem? PLEASE help if possible, as I use Adobe Reader quite often. Thank you! KB in GA

    is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    Hi,
    Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
    There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
    Some info here:
    http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
    A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
    Hope that helps,

  • What is matchcode objects and how can we create tthem

    hai to all.
         what is matchcode objects .
         and how can we create matchcode objects

    Hi
    In which version of SAP are you working?
    Matchcodes are replaced by SEARCH HELPs in latest versions
    see the doc
    1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
    2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
    3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
    4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
    5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
    6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
    CREATION:
    Go to SE11 Tcode
    select search help
    give the 'z' search help name and create
    select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
    dialog module 'display value immediately'.
    add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
    where left position when displaying and spos = search position
    and then save and activate ..

    Collective search help Combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
    A Collective search help provides alternative search
    Paths by combining elementary search helps.
    Only one search help can be attached to a field, table or data element. Several search paths are therefore attached with a collective search help.
    A collective search help also has interface parameters like
    an elementary search help.
    Like an elementary search help, a collective search help has an interface of IMPORT and EXPORT parameters with which the search help exchanges data. Using this interface, the collective search help can be attached to fields, tables and data elements exactly like an elementary search help.
    Parameter assignment needs to be done for each of the
    Included search helps.
    When you define a collective search help, there are no components for describing the dialog behavior and data selection; instead the included search helps are listed here. You must assign the parameters of the collective search help to the interface parameters of the included search help for each inclusion.
    User may choose the tab and thus the elementary
    search maethod.
    When we execute the search help SCUSTOM, we are confronted with a dialog which gives us an option of either restricting
    By 1)Search for customer according to booking
    2)Search for customer according to name.
    These are effectively the elementary search helps (SCUSTOM_BOOK and SCUSTOM_NAME) which have been included in the collective search help SCUSTOM.
    HOT KEY
    The hot key is used to select the elementary search help from the collective search help and to enter the restrictions in the dialog box for restricting values directly from the entry field. If the user often searches for values using the same search help, this procedure can save time.
    Steps to create a Collective Search Help
    1)Enter the search help name and click on create.
    2)Choose Collective search help radio button option as the search help type.
    3)Enter the search help parameters.
    4)Instead of the selection method, we enter the included
    search helps for the collective search help.
    5)We need to assign parameters for each of the included
    search helps.
    6)Complete the parameter assignment by clicking on the push button
    7)Collective search help offers the user to obtain F4 help
    using any of the included search helps.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

    iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    If necessary, post the resulting HD test numbers and we can decide what route to take from there.

  • How to use Acrobat SDK with C# and how much is it?

    I just want to know these info because I'm new here and I can't seem to find any answers to these here in the forums and on the Documentation.

    Hi,
    The Acrobat SDK is free and can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com\devnet\acrobat. Please note to use the SDK you require Acrobat/Reader to be installed.
    As for using it with c#, there are a number of sample files in the SDK that can be used to learn. There is also documentation online and in the SDK.

  • Very Confused over Reinstall Discs, Recovery Discs and how do I CREATE THEM!

    I am the owner of a Lenova IdeaCenter K300 Computer with Windows 7 64Bit OS
    The system has been running for just about a year now...no issues, very stable...however after a recent issue with another computer MFG system...I have questions:
    First the Other MFG system - The computer was purchased in April of 2008 with Windows Vista, the computer was unplugged on November 1, 2008 and stored in a cool Dry place....In October of 2011 My Godson wanted a new computer and I told him I have a computer that was lightly used and would do what he wanted it to do.
    I plugged in a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and turned on the unit when MUCH to my surprise the HD had failed...BADLY...so I went to a local store, purchased a new HD and installed it on the machine. 
    First let me explain that this computer MFG after several calls to them looking for help.. explained to me the following
    1: Reinstall Discs were NOT avail
    2: The System did not support creating Recovery discs since all the information that the system needed was stored on
        the Hard Drive that was supplied with the system...and that the OEM Windows VISTA version was available to use for
        3 years
    I said Okay, but I have a computer that had a HD failure so how do I go about reinstalling Windows Vista to get the computer up and running again?  They told me that I had to PURCHASE from a store a copy of Windows Vista.   I said that I had from two other computers from another MFG Windows Vista Reinstall Discs, can I use those, and use the Product Key code supplied by YOUR company to reintsall the OS?  They said NO...you need the orginal Hard Drive....I was like WHAT!
    Needless to say you can imagine my EXTREME frustration over not being able to get the computer up and running again.  After several calls to the Presidents Office I was finally....after 6 weeks of battle able for a cost mind you of $19.99 to get physical DVD's to reintall Windows Vista onto the system - (they should arrive this week)
    So now I am sitting in front of this LENOVA computer wondering ...Worse CaseScenerio...HD FAILURE...and lets face it it DOES HAPPEN.
    so here are my questions
    1: What is the difference between Recovery Disc and Reinstall Dics?
    2: If this Lenova System can only Create Recovery Discs ...and the HD needs to be replaced will the Recovery discs reintsall Windows 7 on this system?
    3: How do I create these discs...I found an option on Lenova Rescue System to create Recovery Discs but it was 24  4.5 GB DVD's to do this?  Windows Vista only needed 2
    Am I missing something here can some one Please help me
    thank you!

    They should sell you recovery disc without any problems. If you call customer service and you feel that the conversation is going no ware you probably talking to wrong person. Disconnect and tray another time, you will never speak to the same person twice
    OEM reinstall disc doesn’t need activation, retail windows disc needs but you have serial number on the sticker so just call Microsoft and activate it.
    Recovery disc is a copy of your computer hard drive with windows, drivers, software included
    Reinstall disc is the same for all computers with windows only, you have to install drivers and software separately
    Reinstall OEM disc is only for Lenovo system but it is the same like retail windows disc with added pre-activation

  • What is a Token Data String and how do I create one?

    How do I create local server scripts? I have read Chapter 2, what is a data string, how do I 'create' one and how can I 'pass' this off Apple, iTunes, whoever needs it? Chapter 2 doesn't say.
    Gateway   Windows XP Pro   Military

    I suggest that you grab a copy of Chapter 4 of the Admin document. It explains a lot. You should also grab a copy of Apple's sample scripts (you get some C code, Java, Perl, Python, and a shell script). They will give you some idea of how this works. The scripts are downloadable frmo the iTunes U support page.
    Basically, the token string contains a credential that says what access you'd like to have in iTunes U (you are an "Admin" user or a "Student" or an "Instructor" say). The credential encodes what you can view/edit in a standard way. The credential also includes some optional info (like your identity, e-mail address ... a "user identifier" which is typically a number ... say if you identify users by numbers and names ... and other stuff). You then slap on a timestamp on the credential and cryptographically encode it with that shared secret Apple sent you (when I say "you," I mean that funky CGI you've written ... your CGI does all the encoding). When you're done with the token string, you slap it on the end of a site URL (again, this is something Apple sent you) and send it to Apple. This way, you ('er, your CGI) does all the authentication for Apple (because you know how to authenticate your users better than Apple ever will).
    I confess I had to read Apple's documents, oh, like twenty times before I figured all this stuff out. Once you get it though, it will seem like a pretty cool system.

  • What is a summary task and how do I create it?

    In the cPro customizing (spro), there is a dropdown called "Task Hierarchy" in the detail settings for a project type. It has three different values
    - None
    - Without Summary Tasks
    - With Summary Tasks
    Does anybody know what the difference between the second and third option is?
    How does a summary task look like, and how do I define with task is a summary task and which is not?

    Hi,
    from the online documentation:
    Summary Task: A task in cProjects in which certain data from the subtasks is displayed in an aggregated form (for example, confirmed times and required qualifications). However, you cannot enter these values in the summary task.
    You can only use summary tasks in bottom-up scheduling.
    You specify in Customizing whether you want to use task hierarchies with or without summary tasks.
    Hierarchies with Summary Tasks
    Once you create a subtask for a task, this task becomes a summary task. Some activities can only be carried out for tasks that are not summary tasks. These include:
    ·        Confirming time
    ·        Entering qualifications
    ·        Assigning project roles
    ·        Planning work
    ·        Assigning cost and revenue rates
    Some of the information from the subtasks is aggregated in the summary task.
    Hierarchies Without Summary Tasks
    You can perform all activities at any level of the task hierarchy. There are no summary tasks.
    Kind regards,
       Florian

  • Time Capsule (A1409): slow file access problem and how do we create a back up of the files on timecapsule?

    Time Capsule: We have a model no A1049 our network (installed by someone no longer working with us, so I don't know how it was set up or how to access any settings other than via Airport Utility)
    We use it for our central file storage, and as a disk for timemachine backups from the several macs we use here.
    The time capsule is running but we have slow access to files, it takes ages to bring up the list of files available, can I fix this?
    I have just updated the firmware.
    I would also like to know how I can back up these files to another disk.
    I have searched the manuals and also the support community but I can't find the answers or any instructions other than the manuals  and would appreciate help.
    Thank you

    The Time Capsule was designed to handle Time Machine backups from one or more Mac computers, and it will work reasonably well for that purpose.
    But.....and this is a big BUT......it will not work very well at all if you try to make it act as a file server, since the disk spin up time is quite slow among other things like slow read times from the disk.
    Suggest that you get with an IT specialist who can recommend the right file server solution for your network based on your needs.
    As far as backing up the data on the Time Capsule, the simplest way to do this is connect a USB drive to the USB port on the Time Capsule and use the built in Archive function in AirPort Utility to make a complete copy of all of the data on the Time Capsule.
    Unfortunately, the simplest way is also the slowest and the Time Capsule will not be available for Time Machine backups or file serving during the Archive procedure, which will likely take 4-6 hours or so depending on how much data might be on the Time Capsule.  A good time to do this might be late at night, so the Archive copying will run overnight.
    Another better option would be to use a commercially available application, like Carbon Copy Cloner to automatically back up the Time Capsule disk each day at a time that you choose.  The advantage to doing it this way is that CCC will only back up the changes that have occurred since the last back up, so once the first "master" backup is done, the subsequent "incremental" backups will only take a few minutes each day.
    Your IT specialist / consultant will likely have other suggestions for you as well. The advice that we have offered here is meant to be general in nature and not specific to your particular needs.

  • What is a thumbnail and how do you create it?

    I use Photoshop to edit an image to the normal size I use and "Save to Web" to compress it.  How do I then create a thumbnail.  Is a thumbnail just a smaller size image cropped from the normal size or does it take some further revising?  I am converting from Expression Web 4 and in their program I just clicked on a button to create a thumbnail so sometimes it is difficult to change to a DW editior even though I am finding it a much better editor than EW4.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    you're right, a thumbnail is the same image in a reduzed size. To get this I use my file manager and store the same images into two directories (I name them "small" and "big"). With an image processing program like Photoshop (or MS Picture manager or, or ..) I'm able to produce the reduced images in one pass.
    These "two size" images are often needed for image galleries.

  • What is a nested sequence and how do you create it?

    If you nest a sequence of 5 clips does it become one clip? So how do you make one? I understand that to nest a sequence you highlight the clips you want in the browser and drag them into the viewer. The viewer only shows one of the clips though and the rest are stacked in the recently viewed files. So then what? Am I even doing any of this right?
    Sputnik

    A nested sequence is a sequence that contains other sequences. It's a way of organizing your work in FCE as your projects become more complex and/or your creative needs necessitate the capabilities nested sequences provide. Nested sequences are very useful for organizing complex projects, to reduce the amount of rendering needed when you are working with effects, and to control the order in which effects are rendered in your project.
    Think of it this way - you capture clips from your camera. In FCE you create a sequence and you add your clips to it and then go about doing your editing, adding effects & filters, etc. Your sequence will be listed in the Browser just the same as your captured clips.
    If you then create a 2nd sequence, you can put your entire first sequence into it just the same as adding a clip to it (by dragging it from the Browser into your new sequence), and then within the 2nd sequence you can treat the nested sequence as if it were a single clip - set in/out points, add effects & filters, etc.
