Acrobat and Transparencies QUestion

"in indesign" Hows come when i send out a PDF In the Advanced Tab the Transparency Flattener  Quality is grayed out If i select any higher Acrobat 4 compatibility?  Do the Newer version of Acrobat not support this?   On some of our files if we send them to plates If the Acrobat Compatibility Is set higher than Acrobat 4 the all the overprinting And knockouts get lost.  Is there a better way to accomplish this? 
Thanks For your help

In modern PDF publishing workflows, one should never flatten transparency. PDF 1.4 (i.e., Acrobat 5 compatibility) supports live transparency.
There is nothing in creating PDF 1.4 or above that modifies any overprinting or knockout attributes. That having been said, you need to be exceptionally careful with any designs in which transparency and overprinting are used together.

  • Acrobat and Indesign question

    Can somebody show me how to find a highlighted text in acrobat via Bridge and search the highlighted text in InDesign?
    Is this possible?
    Best regards,
    Ferenc

    Hi Dave,
    I thought that what Bridge for to be able to use both program isn't it?
    I have a PDF file what I made from an InDesign file, what I send out via e-mail to my proofreader and than he highlight the incorrect text in Acrobat and writes the correct text into the note of the highlight. Than I want to insert this correction into the indesign document exactly where he marked in the PDF file.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Acrobat, Reader and Lifecycle question

    I have forms that I created in Adobe Acrobat and Lifestyle.  The forms are useable by most but, some of my users tat are using Reader 11 are having issues writing to the forms.  The problem is random.  Also my environment includes PC's using Windows 7 and Samsung tablets using the latest Andriod operating system and Reader for Andrioids

     Unfortunately I am turning to this forum because the problem is random. Therefore I will reiterate the issue differently.   While using a pdf file that was created in adobe acrobat then enhanced in life cycle, I have users, both in MS Windows 7.0 and Android Jellybean, the users are nat able to input text or numbers into the fields. When the users send the pdf the data is absent.  I hope this is clearer.

  • DIfferent PDF view in Acrobat and in Reader???

    I created a PDF in Adobe Indesign CS3.
    It was created starting from page 2.
    Because, when I look at it in Adobe ACrobat 8 PRofessional it looks like I want it: Every spread has 2 pages, the start spread has 2 pages.
    BUT when I open the same PDF in Acrobat Reader 7 it starts with a single page and all the following spreads have wrong left and right pages!
    Why is this happening?
    I must be able to depend on that the reader/viewer sees the PDF in a consistent way independent of display application!
    Is there anything I can do to force the PDF to look the same in Acrobat and Reader (as it really should do!!)?
    Do I really have to make one PDF to be seen in Acrobat and Another to be seen in Reader???
    /Larry

    >Different settings under View > Page Display > ...
    Thanks Bernd for taking interest in my problem!
    But I am afraid I cannot follow you..
    I don't see any settings to set for this subject (in Acrobat Reader 7).
    Under Edit->Preferences you can set defaults for Page Display, but nothing that affects how the first page shows.
    Under View->Page Display there are choices
       Single Page View
       Continuosly
       Continuosly - two Page View
       Two Page View
    So the question remains: Where in Acr Reader 7 can you set the Page Display so that it starts not with a single page but with a 2-page-spread?
    However: I installed Acr Reader 10, and that version IS consistent with Acrboat 8 Prof:
    A pdf starting on page 2 is displayed with the first spread having 2 pages.
    OK, it may be hard for you to answer specifics about Acr Reader v 7,
    But still, if the pdf reader still uses the older Acr Reader 7, how could he see the pdf starting with a 2-page-spread as I want him to?
    Which 'settings' should I advice him to set?
    If you feel that you have any more comment, I would appreciate to hear it!
    yours

  • Spinning rainbow wheel for long periods on File Open commands in Acrobat and Office 365 programs

    Hardware & Software:
    MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)

    Over the last few days, when I try to execute a File Open command from Adobe Acrobat or Office 365 programs (even from an innocuous location such as Documents), I get the spinning rainbow wheel for long periods of time (10 seconds to minutes) before I am able to select a file to open. I copied messages from Console after a File Open command for each of Adobe Acrobat and Excel (the selected location was Documents), given below:

    If I'm not in the correct Community for this question, could someone kindly tell me where I should re-post?
    Thanks.
    David Walker

    Yes; I have previously connected to an iMac at this location using File Sharing.  However, in my attempts to solve this problem last week, I had already unchecked File Sharing in System Preferences.  Tonight, I also deleted the folder from the window in the File Sharing System Preferences page, then rebooted.  The problem still persists.
    I try not open files across a server line, i.e., I try always to copy a file to the local computer and open it there.  I may have gotten careless and tried to open a file from the Windows server with either or both Acrobat and Office 365.  Although this was an SMB share, is it possible that these programs are now trying to connect to the Windows server on a File Open?
    I had about decided to quit chasing this problem; we spend about two weeks every two months at this Boston location, and I'll be returning to my Florida home this weekend.  So I decided I would see what the situation was when I returned to my native habitat, although I may be chasing this problem again in our trip to the Boston area in April.
    The other thing I wondered (I guess I can't quite let it go), is whether there is a command line in Terminal that would kill all AFP shares.
    In any case, thanks for your help; you're very knowledgeable.

  • Distiller 9 not properly installed and other questions

    I'm beginning to think I may have gotten a bad installation disc.
    I'm Running CS3 on a MacBook Pro, with OSX 10.5. When I got the installation disc for Acrobat 9, I followed the directions for removing Acro 8 and installed Acro 9. I came across a need to print a pdf file from MSWord, part of the Office 2004 package. Word was still trying to use the Acro 8 pdf maker. I informed Word that Acro 8 was no longer available, and went to tell it to look for Acro 9. Word then informed me that Acro 9 Distiller was not properly installed. Has anyone else experienced this? It's either an Acro 9 issue or a MS issue. I'd be curious to know which, before I get totally frustrated and remove Acro 9 in favor of Acro 8.
    Has anyone else come across this message? (Wording not exact) You are about to start Acrobat 9 for the first time, do you want to continue?" Before you start replying to this one, I saw it when I launched Acro 9 for the first time, as everyone else. I saw it again the next day, and the day after, and several times since then. It doesn't show every time. It seems to happen more often when I launch Acrobat by launching a file created by a previous version of Acrobat and the file launches Acro 9. Seems like it happened with a Acro 9 created file as well. When I launch Acro9 as an application, and not as a result of double clicking a file to launch the application, I don't get the message.
    Minor question: Did the "Getting Started Window" get left out of the Mac version?
    thanks
    pj

    Hi Mike,
    I'm going through the process of trying all the ways pdf files are supposed to be created. I was going to use the PDF Maker button. Not working, I'm not one to give up, I will sometimes threaten the computer with a rocket launcher. Most of the time, the computer sees things my way and cooperates, this time is different.
    I went to file > print from work and selected Acrobat 9 as the printer, then I was directed to locate Distiller. So thinking "no big deal," I went to locate Distiller 9 so that I could print pdf files using Acrobat's virtual printer, and got slammed, Distiller 9 not installed properly.
    http://www.creativehwy.net/ScreenErrors/Acro9Errors.html
    If you'll check the link I've posted, you can see, the Distiller is grayed out, I cannot select it in order to use Acrobat 9 as a printer from Word. I can do a file > print from Word and in the lower left, select a pdf option, create pdf or create postscript file with any of the other printers selected. While most of the time, I'll get a good conversion on the pdf file, as a prepress technician, it leaves my mind to wonder if it's going to work every time. Some of these printers that I have drivers for have hard set margins, so there is a concern that some data might get clipped when generating the pdf file this way.
    Oh My! Was just looking at the screen shot, and it might open a can of worms or it might not, I wonder if Acrobat Distiller should be renamed to Adobe Acrobat Distiller...

  • Conflict between Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader and how I fixed it

    For the past 5 years, I have owned Adobe Acrobat version 9, and recently installed Adobe Reader as well (version 10.7). I was previously able to set up Firefox to use Acrobat to display PDF files in the browser without downloading them, but I recently noticed that this was no longer the case. Instead, every PDF file I tried to view was being downloaded instead. I came here to find a solution, and discovered that many other people are having similar problems. I followed the instructions given here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them), but found that they were actually UNhelpful. They tell you to turn off the Firefox PDF viewer by editing about:config to disable the file pdfs.js, which is the native Firefox PDF viewer-- but that will cause the PDF file type to disappear from the Tools/Options dialog, so you can't assign it to another program (whether Adobe or anything else). This makes it impossible to assign the Adobe plugin to open PDF files. I did figure out a solution on my own, and wanted to post it here to help other users with the same problem.
    I ultimately learned, through trial and error and a lot of research both here and on Adobe's website, that the root cause of my problem was a conflict in Firefox between Acrobat and Reader. I was able to solve it by upgrading Acrobat, getting rid of Reader and enabling the Firefox PDF viewer so that I could assign the PDF file type to the Acrobat plugin within Firefox. Here are the details of my problem and how I solved it:
    1. Acrobat and Reader conflict with each other in Firefox, but this isn't totally Firefox's fault. It's mostly Adobe's fault, and they pretty much admit it. Specifically, they say that Acrobat and Reader can't coexist on the same machine unless both are version 10 or higher. They tell you to upgrade to solve the problem--but I can't afford to pay for a new version of Acrobat. If you have to keep Acrobat 9.x, Adobe says the lowest version of Reader that will work with it is Reader 11. I couldn't upgrade to this because I have Vista, and Adobe hasn't issued Reader 11 for Vista (and doesn't plan to). I did cheat and download the Win 7 version of Reader 11, but it didn't help.
    2. If you have both Acrobat and Reader, you can choose a setting in Reader to make it the default PDF handler--but Firefox ignores this information and defaults to Acrobat no matter what. (This is the part we can blame Firefox for.) If you have a version of Acrobat which is below 9.5.5, Firefox actually blocks it as a security risk, so the plugin won't work at all, regardless of version number. That's why PDFs are being downloaded through your standalone program instead of being displayed in the browser. If you want to view PDFs in Firefox and keep Acrobat on your computer, you MUST upgrade Acrobat to version 9.5.5 or above.
    3. Unless you can upgrade Acrobat to at least 10.x, GET RID OF READER. As long as you can access Acrobat 9.5.5, it will work fine in Firefox and there's no need for Reader. I never used to have Reader myself, only Acrobat, but it must have been downloaded automatically when Acrobat was blocked by Firefox (which I didn't even realize).
    4. IF YOU NEED TO UPGRADE ACROBAT 9.X TO 9.5.5, YOUR LAST CHANCE IS TODAY--6/26/13. Adobe has announced that today is the "end of life" for the Acrobat 9.x platform, and all support and upgrades will cease after today.
    When I searched for updates by going to Adobe's website, it told me there were none available--but when I checked for them FROM THE ACROBAT PROGRAM ITSELF (Help/Check for updates), I was offered a 300 MB upgrade that took me all the way from version 9.0 to 9.5.5 in one step. (It did take a very long time to download and install.)
    5. Once you have Acrobat 9.5.5, this is how to enable it in Firefox:
    a. INSIDE ACROBAT, set your preference for "Internet" to "view PDF files in browser." Close Acrobat. Close Firefox if it's already open.
    b. Reopen Firefox. Check Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins to make sure the Acrobat plugin is there. Enable it if disabled. Close Firefox.
    If the plugin isn't there at all, repair your Acrobat installation through Control Panel. Then return to Firefox and enable it. Close Firefox.
    c. Reopen Firefox again. Go to Tools/Options and check the list of file types. For the names that contain "Adobe" and "Acrobat," Acrobat should be set as the default program to open them. Select it from the drop-down list if it's not. Continue to scroll through the alphabetical list--you should see another entry called Portable Document Format. If it's there, the default will be "preview in Firefox." You should be able to change this to "Acrobat (in Firefox)" using the drop-down menu. Do NOT pick the option that says "Acrobat"--this is the standalone program and will cause your PDFs to be downloaded.
    If you don't see "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as an option, this means your plugin is not working. Go back and fix it using the instructions above (including repair of Acrobat if necessary).
    d. If you don't see a file type for "Portable Document Format" at all, that means the Firefox PDF viewer is disabled. You must enable it by editing the about:config file. To see it, type about:config in the Firefox address bar. You will get a warning message--just click OK and keep going.
    This file is a long list of statements in alphabetical order. LOOK FOR A STATEMENT THAT SAYS "pdfjs.disabled" with a Boolean value of "true." Select this statement and right-click. A context menu will offer you choices including "Toggle." Select that one, which will change the Boolean value to "false." Exit about:config. Close Firefox.
    e. Now return to Tools/Options, scroll through the list of file types, and you should see "Portable Document Format." Select "Acrobat (in Firefox)" as in the instructions above. Close Firefox.
    f. The first time you try to open a PDF file in Firefox, you may get a dialog box which offers you choices of how to open the file. The first will be Acrobat, but DON'T CHOOSE THAT--it will cause your PDF to download. Instead, go to the choice that says "Open as application/pdf." You don't need to change the program that opens this file type, because your settings are already correct. Your PDF should open in the browser, with the full-featured Acrobat menu (including the option of editing or saving the file).
    I hope other users can benefit from the truly painful experience I had figuring all of this out. Good luck.

  • Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables

    A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table.  Here is what I would have expected to see as the code.  Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
    data : commit_count type i.
    select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
      update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
         where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
      commit work and wait.
    endselect.
    I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else.  In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.
                DO.

              ENDIF.
    Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ?  They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ???  Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ?  We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
    Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!

    The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
    You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)
    Go through some documentation like [Updates in the R/3 System (BC-CST-UP)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCSTUP/BCCSTUP_PT.pdf]

    First, remove your personal information from your post.  That's not needed here.  This is a public forum, and it is unwise to provide your personal data online.
    Second, here's how you reset your password and/or security questions.
    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

  • I have purchased music with my old apple id, old computer and old email. My old email and computer are not available anymore and I dont remember my password and securtiy question anymore. How can I authorise my old apple id to authorise the new computer?

    Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
    I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the
    music. I cant remember password and security questions for my old id and the old email doest exist anymore.
    What can I do?

    Hi, Carmen. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

  • RemoteUpdateManager problem... and other questions

    Hi.
    We are trying to evaluate which update solution to use.
    We package the apps with CCP, and the users should never get prompted about updates and they are not able to download/upgrade by them self, and they are not admins on their computers. So far we haven´t implemented any update solution.
    First of all, when i try remoteupdatemanager.exe in an elevated cmd i get the following message:
    RemoteUpdateManager exiting with Return Code (1)
    And the remoteupdatemanager.log tells me this:

    Anyone have any idea about this error?
    And then to other update quistions. when i read the documentation about how to update i dont really get it.
    1: is one possible solution to package the updates in CCP and then use SCCM to deploy them? i tried to create packages yesterday but the CCP didn´t work so i dont know in what format the updates come in, .exe or .msi and so on.
    2: If we go with the solution of having an Adobe update server on our network, do i then need to repackage all our existing apps which have the config "AUM is disabled" and configure the "use internal update server" or can i push out a config for this?
    3: If we start to use internal update server, if i choose "enable adobe update manager" will then user be able to update themself? We want to handle all of it for the users, is that what "disable adobe update manager" is? i find this very confusing.
    4: Today with our non CC packages (acrobat standard and flash) we are using System Center Updates Publisher to publish acrobat and flash updates to SC Configuration Manager to deploy these updates to the clients the same way we deploy MS updates. Can we use this method for all the CC packages?

    ok, first of all we can skip the RemoteUpdateManager problem. I was running the program as an administrator and the administrator did not have the proxy.pac configured. so this is not a problem for now more then figuring out an account and proxy settings that will work in the background.
    now another problem, i testet to configure AUSST for the first time now, and i get this error after running the command: --root=c:\ausst --fresh

  • Spam filtering solution for iPhone and a question.

    I've read a lot of posts about spam filtering for the iPhone and have yet another solution and a question. I use SpamSieve and I am not affiliated with them in any way. The nice thing about SpamSieve is that if it is the first rule in your Mail.app rule set any mail that follows has already been filtered. All you need to do then is create another rule that redirects email to what ever mail account you choose. Since my ISP allows multiple accounts, I will simply create an iPhone@myISP account.
    Now the question. Is it possible to write an applescript that will turn the redirect rule on or off so that I don't have to dig into the rules section of Mail to get this done?
    Thanks

  • HT1553 I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error...

    I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error... Help!!

    If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
    Boot  into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as  Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
    Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.
