Acrobat 8 - Settings or preferences for Line Tool??

A colleague using Acrobat 8 can't use the line tool without having the lines snap to predetermined angles. I've looked in the preferences to no avail. The ability to turn this on/off is not located in the Commenting category of Prefs, nor does turning snap off in the Measuring categories resolve the issue. There is no Markup category in Prefs, so where do I find it?
Thanks
[EDIT] Wow, never mind. He had Snap to Grid turned on...

Probably has snap to grid checked under the view menu.

Need Acrobat 9 Std LEID for APTEE tool replace sn after imaging

Hello,
I need the LEID for Adobe Acrobat 9 Std for the APTEE tool. The syntax is this:
adobe_prtk --tool=ReplaceSN --serialize=LEID --serial=serial
What does work on Acrobat X Std is AcrobatStd-AS1-Win-GM
I have a disk image that has Acrobat 9 which is required for the Dell computers that came with Acrobat 9 and this command produces a return code = 6 which I think means product LEID is not found on the computer.
After restoring a disk image it is important to run this tool (which is installed on the computer prior to SYSPREP). This way we can put the correct SN that came with that hardware so that end users are not badgered by a licensing screen.
I am not sure if this worked, despite return code 6. I still haven't gotten a pop up and I've had a PDF open now for over 10 minutes.

It looks like you are using a LEID for Acrobat 10: Identifying Existing Installs — Enterprise Administration Guide
Make sure your serial is for DE
Verify you are online.

Is it possible to set BIOS settings over a command line?

Hi,
is there a possibility to set Toshiba BIOS settings over a command line tool?
We have hundreds of Toshiba Notebooks and would like to activate Wake On Lan.
I know there is hwsetup, but as far as I know this GUI doesn't accept parameters...
We would like to propagate new settings over a script.
Any solution for this ?
Thanx

> is there a possibility to set Toshiba BIOS settings over a command line tool?
Something like that is not known to me and I doubt this could be possible.
As you said there is an preinstalled Toshiba HWSetup tool which can be used to change some certain BIOS settings. But this is only one way to change the BIOS settings from the Windows OS.

It should replace [SL 10] and put a 10 mm rule in that position.
In my script rule is creating but the rule is placing some were else. Please solve this problem. Ihave created library also for [SL10].
Here is my script coding

Acrobat pro: how set default properties for arrow and line tool seperately?

I have a problem with the 'comment and markup' tools in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I would like to change the defaults of some of the tools, eg the arrow and the line tool.
This can be achieved by right-clicking on something drawn using the tool in question and then selecting 'properties' - or by selecting the tool and then press ctrl+E, wich opens a 'Callout Tool Properties', and then change what you want there. The latter option keeps the changes as defaults - the former offers a box to tick in the 'properties' dialogue that opens - or, you can right-click on the object again after having changed the properties, and then select 'Make Current Properties Default'.
My Problem is now, that, apparently, you cannot choose and save default properties freely and for each tool. I woul like to have the default properties for the line tool set as the following:
-line color: yellow
-line thickness: 8pt
-opacity: 60%
and fot the arrow tool as this:
-line color: red
-line thickness: 1pt
-opacity: 100%
This all works fine as long as the program is open. As soon as I exit and start it again opening another document /the same one again, the arrow tool changes to
-line color: yellow
-opacity: 60%
only the line thickness remains at 1pt.
If I change the properties of the line to the ones I want for the arrow, the arrow properties remain unaltered if I close Acrobat Pro.
Why do these properties interfere? Why is it "line color/thickness" in both? Why, then, do only the opacity and the color interfere, but not the thickness - even if it's the latter two properties that are bot called "line xxx"? Why does Acrobat not save all properties for these two shapes seperately - even IF the two shapes are both of a line-like kind?
Is there a way to get around this?

Trobbel - This indeed is puzzling behavior. Clicking 'Make Current Properties Default' should preserve the default appearance for each. I don't have a solution, but merely a couple of suggestions:
1) Make sure you have installed any available upgrade for your version of Acrobat Professional.
2) Consider using the line tool exclusively - you can add an arrowhead and make one tool perform both tasks.
Hope this helps. /rmbrown

Acrobat Reader - Use Fixed Resolution for Snapshot tool images setting

Hello,
We're currently running Acrobat Reader 9.x on our production Windows Vista SP2 Enterprise image and we're running Acrobat Reader X on our development Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit image. I'm curious if there's a registry setting that sets the "Use fixed Resolution for Snapshop tool images" from 72dpi to 300 dpi.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

The per user settings are held in the following registry location:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Selection
There is a hexadecimal value named iSnapshotResolution which contains the resolution for the Snapshot Tool. Also a parameter called bUseFixedSnapshotResolution which needs to be set to 1 to switch the feature on or 0 to disable the feature.
This is a per user setting but I believe Reader checks the per machine location
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader 10.0\Selection
Presumably you can put the same values into the HKLM section (it doesn't exist by default) so you will need to create the Selection key.
Hope this makes sense.
You might also find benefit of using the Enterprise Deployment tools for your deployment environment.

Hi Raj,
As Martin suggested, we can use Group Policy Preferences Internet Settings extension to do this.
Internet Settings Extension
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754649.aspx
As Cherry suggested, we can use IEM to do this. However, IEM has been deprecated for IE 10, which means we can’t use IEM to manage the settings of IE 10 or above.

What is the best preference settings to use for CS5 Suites

I upgraded my PC a few months back and I'm currently running the CS5 suites. A few weeks ago I started having issues with the CS5 suites freezing up & in some cases even crashing on me. I always run Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign & bridge at the same time, as I'm constantly moving between program on any given project. What I'd like to know, is if there's an optimum setting to use in the preferences for each program, including bridge to help them run more smoothly & efficiently, without the computer or programs bogging down or crashing on me. Below is a list of the hardware I'm running, which I've been told is more than enough to run the CS5 suites. Any information would be greatly appreciated, as I'm starting to get frustrated with the performance.
Hardware & operating system:
- Windows 7 service pack 3
- EVGA X58 FTW3 motherboard
- i7 960 4-Core CPU
- GeForce GTX 470 Sli graphics card
- Corsair Extreme 24 gigs ram
- 3 TB 7200 RPM hard drive

Generally speaking, freezing and crashing problems don't have to do with performance configuration settings, and there are fairly few such settings that affect most applications. Video editing software tends to have a bunch, but that doesn't sound like it is pertinent to you.
Indeed, your hardware sounds far more powerful than you'd need to easily avoid problems based on performance limitations.
I suspect, then, that each of the problems you are seeing is a seperate unique problem not a result of a configuration choice. It'll need to be debugged carefully with full details, and as close as you can get to a reproducible case as possible.
In InDesign, about the only settings of relevance are whether Live Screen Drawing is turned on (images resize in realtime when you adjust their bounding boxes), and whether the View > Display Performance setting is set to Typical (the default) or High Quality.
You could also experiment with disabling Live Preflight.
You mention running 4 apps at once -- when you do so, are the non-active applications performing computation, or just sitting there idle? For instance, are you executing a complex filter operation in Photoshop at the same time as exporting a PDF in InDesign, all while you are drawing patterns in Illustrator? I assume the answer is Probably Not, in which case it lends strength to the hypothesis that the performance characteristics of your machine are not at issue here.

Command line tools for xcode??

I am used to compiling code much like the java sdk works from terminal where I say javac the filename and then i get a .class file that i can run by doing the command java and then the .class file after. I am now wanting to learn c++ and I dont feel like installing xcode all i want is a compiler that can run from terminal. i found command line tools for xcode on the apple developers site and i was wondering do i need xcode for this to run and after that what the commands are and how i compile/run the code. But my biggest question is still wether or not i need xcode to let command line tools work. ive read in a couple places i dont need it but in other ive read you do can i get help?!

You don't need Xcode to compile your apps with; just the compiler/linker.
Xcode is Apple's IDE. One could write the same code in TextEdit but that wouldn't be easy nor fun.

I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4. I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect. Suggestions?

I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

Where are the settings/preferences for firefox?

I am trying to find the settings/preferences for firefox but I updated my firefox and now cannot find them.

Why didn't I think of that .... In any event, I found the answer. The issue lies within the "automatic proxy detection" selection. If its selected and OSX cannot determine the proxy, this causes a cascading failure on upgrade websockets using ws:// protocol headers. You need to uncheck the automation, and the manual HTTP and HTTPS proxy settings will be used for all protocol headers that originate from HTTP/S including the WS handshake upgrade and connection protocol.

Need command line tool for batch converting rtf files to XSL-FO files

Hi,
We are executing a projects with more than 200 RTF templates.
I am looking for a tool which can convert all my RTF's to XSL-FO files in one GO.

Hmm... I guess I never thought about doing it in Terminal. Honestly, I'm not sure if textutil can read the content of the textClipping files, as I've read elsewhere that they are strange in that they store the data in resource forks, which makes it tricky to programmatically manipulate them. But I'll look into it to see what I can find out from the manual. Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.
Some of them are in folders, but they are all over the hard drive, not necessarily all congregated in a single folder. I was thinking spotlight could, at the very least, display them all for me in the "All Files" option of Finder, so I could drag them all into an app capable of converting them in a batch. But maybe this command-line textutil could accomplish the same thing. I use Terminal for a lot of things, but this is not a command I have tried before. I'll have to read up on it.
