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

Set default properties for Tools Content Modification Add Text?

I'm running a French version of Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.0.
I'm not enquiring about or alluding to the other tool that can be employed for adding text: Sign > Add Text.
For instance, I'd like to change the default font, font size, font color, etc.
Here's a picture:

CRMD_ORDER: how to set default values for Requester and Change Manager

Hello Folks,
how do I set default values in TA crmd_order?
I drew my organizational hierarchy using TAs bp and ppoma_crm.
When a new Change Request (e. g. SDHF) is created, I want the four roles (Requester, Change Manager, IT Operator and Developer) to be set automatically, not manually.
Both Requester (= Key User) and Change Manager are derivable. I did not find anything in SPRO neither in the OSS neither here.
Points will be rewarded as a matter of course!
Thanx in advance!

Hi Dirk,
look for Define Access Sequence & Define Partner Determination Procedure in SPRO and read the IMG Activity Documentation. You can find it in the Service Desk config, but it works for the other transaction types too.
Basically, you create Access Sequences where you tell the Partner Determination Procedure where to look for the values for the Partner Function fields.
The Access Sequence can use lots of sources for the information, including your org structure.

Jason

How to set default permissions for files and folders

We have mac and windows computers on a network where we use Mac OSX Server 10.4 to share files. When files are created on windows computer, no problem, all users can read/write these files. However on our 2 macs (1 10.3 and 1 10.4), other users are blocked from using the files, only the owner has "read/write", group and others are "read only". As far as I can tell, file sharing is turned on ok in Workgroup Manager for the folders we share files from. How can we establish sharing for all users on our network?

Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

Set default values for StartMonth and EndMonth Parameter based on value selected from the previous parameter(Not cascading)

I have a scenario where it has multiple parameters like.....
Period which consists of "Year,Quarter,Month" as a values.
When user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then "FromMonth" has to set its default value as 36th month from now.
Example: If user selects "Year" then "FromMonth" has to show "April-11".
When user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then "EndMonth" has to set its default value as current month.
Example: If user selects "Year" then "FromMonth" has to show "March-14".
If user selects "Month" Value in "Period" Parameter then it has to allow user to select the Month Range and again if user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then StartMonth has to show 36th month from now and
End Month has to show current month.
Please help me how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Vasu_479,
First, you need to create a dataset to set the StartDate and EndDate parameter's value using the query provided by Visakh. And then use the StartDate and EndDate parameter to filter the data in MDX query. Here is a sample query for your reference.
select
{[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
} on columns,
{[Date].[Date].members} on rows
from(
select
STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@StartDate+"]"):STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@EndDate+"]")
) on columns
from [Adventure Works]
Hope this helps.

Setting default printer for Black and White

I have no problem setting up my printer to print black and white only using my pc, but am having difficulty setting the default for the printer on my OSX 10.5.2. I've read the posts and can't locate where this setting is done. I even removed the printer and tried readding it without any success. So, how do I set my HP Officejet to print in black and white as a default and allow me to print in color when needed?

You could use the built-in presets facility to make a b&w setting and a color setting. Then when you print, you simply select the appropriate preset. Also, the last preset that you use will be the default next time you print, so this can also help speed up your printing.
Reply if you need instructions for creating presets.
One final point. Some applications, such as MS Office, have a 'Print One Copy' printer icon in the toolbar. When you use this shortcut, the print dialog is not opened - the file simply prints. For these types of application, the preset is not used so that job will print in color if that is the default printer function. But you can change the toolbar icon function so that it opens the print dialog instead of just printing. Again, if you need instruction then please reply.

Acrobat Pro XI subscription keeps asking for license and I don't think the subscription has one. Help?

Just bought the subscription which doesn't have a license serial number. Adobe keeps asking for it. Help?

Looks like it finally stopped as it sent me a message that do I want to keep using the trial or license. I hit license and all seems good for now.

Set default value for parameter fields

Good day!
Situation:
1. I have 2 parameter fields in reports (dateFrom and dateTo)
2. Before running report in ASP.NET I change value this fields (dateTo = today, dateFrom = today - 3 days)
3.I use for this source:
foreach (ParameterField crParam in CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.ParameterFields)
                        CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter crParametr = new CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter();
                        string ParametrName = crParam.Name;
                        crParametr.Name = ParametrName;
                          crParametr.DefaultValue = ActionReportParameter.GetParametrValue(ReportName, ParametrName);
                         CrystalReportSource1.Report.Parameters.Add(crParametr);
4. And repurt run without request value parameter fields.
5. BUT!!! now I need request value parameter fields before report start running - I want set default values for filelds and offer user change its before report start run.
How do this?
Thanks

I believe you need to create your own parameter promt screen. Capture what the user entered and pass that to the report(?).

How do I change the default properties for Replace(Ins)?

Acrobat Pro X
Comment tools: Annotations
All tool icons EXCEPT Replace(Ins) show "Tool Default Properties" as an option when right-clicked. When I right-click a particular replacement in the document and select "Properties," there is no option to set current as default.
So, how do I change the default properties for this annotation tool? I need to change the Author and the color.

How to set default language for Portal?

Hi All,
We use EP6.
Default language is not defined and therefore is being set by the browser's language.
Where do I set default language for all users?
(I don't want that the users will be able to change it by themselves by browser/EU role).
I tried to set the "request.mandatorylanguage" and
"request.mandatorycountry" in prtDefault.properties but it didn't help.
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Omri,
are those to parameters
request.defaultlanguage=...
request.defaultcountry=...
set in the prtDefault.properties, and the J2EE Server restarted after the change?
Check out this thread and the link given there for more info: HOW to define the default language in the portal

Hi,
According to your description, you want to set default value for TaxonomyWebTaggingControl.
I have a test in my environment. It could be achieved by setting the Text Property of TaxonomyWebTaggingControl.
Here is the code snippet:
TaxonomySession session = new TaxonomySession(SPContext.Current.Site);
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Web.Site;
TermStore termStore = session.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"];
Group group = termStore.Groups["GroupA"];
TermSet termSet = group.TermSets["A"];
Term term = termSet.Terms["A1"];
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.SspId.Add(termStore.Id);
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.SSPList = termStore.Id.ToString();
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.TermSetId.Add(termSet.Id);
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.TermSetList = termSet.Id.ToString();
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.AllowFillIn = true;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.IsAddTerms = true;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.IsMulti = false;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.Text = string.Format("{0}|{1}", term.Name, term.Id.ToString());
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

How to set default values for boolean columns

I'm trying to deploy some content types and columns into a site with a feature. All it's ok, except that I'm trying to set a default value for boolean columns with no success.
I've tried to set default value at column level:
<Field ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DisplayName="Se publican noticias en español"
Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
<Default>TRUE</Default>
</Field>
and at content type level:
<FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sergio

In the field definition you can set
<Default>1</Default>
or
<Default>0</Default>

How to set CORS properties for BLOB Storage using node?

Hi - I just got started with Azure using a Node-based web site and mobile services.
I am following various documentation in order to provide an API for users to upload images via a time-restricted SAS for the BLOB Storage.
In order to upload my image, I need to set the CORS configuration for the BLOB Storage. Unfortunately this cannot be done via the management portal.
I'm unclear as to how to accomplish this. I'm considering using the startup.js file in my mobile service to make a post request to the BLOB Storage REST API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh452235.aspx
Are there appropriate methods in the Node SDK to make this easier, especially the signing part?
What is the recommended way for setting CORS properties for the BLOB Storage via Node?
Thanks for your help
Stefan

Unfortunately Node SDK does not support CORS functionality yet. Your option would be to write code which consumes the REST API for setting CORS. Not sure if it helps but there's a free tool out there written by my company which you can use to set CORS
on your storage account. More information about this tool can be found here:
http://blog.cynapta.com/2013/12/cynapta-azure-cors-helper-free-tool-to-manage-cors-rules-for-windows-azure-blob-storage/

I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer?

I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer? Both computers have OS X10.9.3. Currently they are connected by a Firewire 800 cable.

You certainly could keep the old Mac Pro in Firewire mode (hold down the T key on its keyboard as you boot) to show its drives on the new MP. This is basically as fast as putting the drives into a Firewire enclosure.
Or you could boot it normally and share its files over the network using the Sharing panel of System Preferences. If you turn on both File and Screen Sharing, you don't even need to have a monitor attached - you can do all administration using screen sharing. However, this method requires that you open all files over the network, which will be slower than the direct-connect method above, and may also not work with all applications.

How to hide PNP selection windows and set default values for PNP.

Hi expert,
I am using HR logical database PNP, but I don't want to display selection windoes for running program on PNP, whereas I want to set default value for some selection items in the program. could you please tell me how to get those two targets?
Many Thanks,

Hi
You have mentioned 2 things.
1. Don't want selection windows for running program for PNP - this can be achieved using the HR Report category - You can get more details on HR Report Category on
HR Report Category
2. I want to set default value for some selection items - This you need to achieve in initialization event of your program.
How you can get this can be explained by INITIALIZATION (SAP Library - ABAP Programming (BC-ABA))
