Acrobat X having issues particularly in regard to creating a new form from an imported file.

So here's the dealio. I'm trying to update an online for. I've made them in the past with no issues. Now I need to add a few liability lines. Anyway, So as per the video, I try to create a form from the updated pdf which was created through Word. I can't make any headway. Also as per the video you can see that Acrobat won't close from the dialogue box, only from the menu bar. Not sure what's up with my software.

Update automatically under which circumstances, exactly?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

HT4889 I am having issues connecting my G5 desktop to my new Mac OS X 10.7.4.

I have tried using the migration assistant. It will not go beyond my selecting a migration method - From another Mac. Nor am I able to use the system preferences file sharing options outlined on apple support. I am not permitted to select the internet sharing as instructed in step 3 (in issues with migration section)... so cannot proceed from there. Using the target option to transfer files isn't working either. Help!

See Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. Then, consider wiping the new Mac, reinstalling via the Recovery HD, and migrating on first boot using the Setup Assistant. Alternatively, contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane and let them deal with it. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. IIRC, this also applies to newly purchased machines

Acrobat X interface issues (particularly in commenting)

I have not been very impressed with the interface changes with Acrobat. I don't mind that they have adopted a new accordion style interface so much (Although the do seem to be reinventing the wheel with each release). What I do see as a major issue is that the desicion to go with a non native interface causes it to be very quirky, sluggish and unpredictable.
I do a LOT of annual reports. And I have always found the PDF markup to be invaluable for alterations. I used to be able to receive a PDF with 800+ comments and display them on the side and check them off one by one with ease! But now since the upgrade the commenting panel has caused me to be about half as productive.
* If I right hand click a comment to mark it as "completed" I have to move quite slowly and precicly over the contextual submens and sometimes click on "complete" multiple times. If I move over things too quickly the menu dissapears.
* I uesed to be able to filter completed comments as I go so that once I checked it, it dissapeard from the list making it easy to keep trak of what had been completed and what needed completing. Now to acheive this I have to force the filter to refresh by turning the filter of and on again each time I want to get rid of completed comments. This is a killer
* Scrolling through the comments in the comments pannel is the worst! Sometimes I might be just clickin on a comment and for no reason Acrobat X will srcoll up or down hiding your next comment. If you click on the scroll bar arrows I tend to find they have poor reponsivness and you will find yourself lost in the list very quickly. And dont even bother with your mouse scrolling wheel... it looks like it is trying to scroll but is working against natual forces.
Very dissapointed with this release. Adobe software should be like a workhorse, able to handle heavy loads... however these silly atsthetic choices seem to be lagging the most basic tools down.
I dont know... I am just feeling realy let down about this. This software is not cheap!

You probably don't want to hear this but some of this things have been improved in Acrobat XI - specifically you can undock the Comments list. Please feel free to voice your comments and concerns here in the Feature Request/Bug Report Form.

Is anyone else having issues pairing their bluetooth device to the new iphone 6?

Is anyone else having problems with pairing their bluetooth devices like Blue Ant or Jabra to your iphone 6?

Hi Diana,
There are dozens of threads and posts regarding this topic in this forum alone, and probably a lot more in other forums on the Web: it's a known software issue affecting iDevices running iOS 8.0.x, and it won't probably be fixed by Apple until they release iOS 8.1, in about two weeks, maybe less.
I too would prefer to use my (old but reliable) Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headset to listen to my music, but for now, I'm back to the regular cable one that came with my iPhone 6. It's not half-bad, but no match, sadly.

Is anyone else having issues with IPad 1 crashing with the new update? Any advice

Please let me know if you are having the same issues and what you did to resolve. Thank you

My iPad 1 crashes every time I connect to the internet now. I assume it has something to do with a recent update and it is very annoying. It started happening about every hour or so and now happens about every few minutes. Thanks for anyone who has suggestions.

Has anyone been having issues using tags? Adding tags to PDF's from within Preview results in a delays

When adding tags to documents from within the document using the menu, after typing a few letters and then selecting a tag it then resets and you have to go back to the beginning. This is especially annoying when trying to edit a large number of documents quickly.
It seems you have to wait up to 5 secs after typing a tag before trying to add it again. The problem appears to be some system wide delay in editing the tag into the file.
I checked the problem against my new MacBook Air and it occurs there as wel.
Anyone else come across this?

Hi VikingOSX,
The method you described is the current way I am doing it, my apologies I probably wasn't clear enough.
The tagging works, but the issue is that as I start to edit in the tag area, after choosing a tag(s) it resets to blank after a couple of seconds and I have to tag again. After the second time the tags stay there and I can save the document.
The tags I am choosing are from existing tags and it doesn't matter whether I click on them from the list or start typing a few characters and they appear, the problem is the same. It might seem trivial, but I regularly scan in a large number of documents and then edit their name and tags from the Preview title bar.
I would be interested if you can recreate the issue yourself, I have it on two different Mac computers so thought it was something that was a bug in Mavericks.

Having issues finding out how many bytes are sent/recieved from a socket.

Hello everyone.
I've searched the forums and also google and it seems I can't find a way to figure out how many bytes are sent from a socket and then how many bytes are read in from a socket.
My server program accepts a string (an event) and I parse that string up, gathering the relevant information and I need to send it to another server for more processing.
Inside my server program after receiving the data ( a string) I then open another port and send it off to the other server. But I would like to know how many bytes I send from my server to the other server via the client socket.
So at the end of the connection I can compare the lengths to make sure, I sent as many bytes as the server on the other end received.
Here's my run() function in my server program (my server is multi threaded, so on each new client connection it spawns a new thread and does the following):
NOTE: this line is where it sends the string to the other server:
//sending the string version of the message object to the
                    //output server
                    out.println(msg.toString());
//SERVER
public class MultiThreadServer implements Runnable {
     Socket csocket;
     MultiThreadServer(Socket csocket) {
          this.csocket = csocket;
     public void run() {
          //setting up sockets
          Socket outputServ = null;
          //create a message database to store events
          MessageDB testDB = new MessageDB();
          try {
               //setting up channel to recieve events from the omnibus server
               BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                         csocket.getInputStream()));
               //This socket will be used to send events to the z/OS reciever
               //we will need a new socket each time because this is a multi-threaded
               //server thus, the z/OS reciever (outputServ) will need to be
               //multi threaded to handle all the output.
               outputServ = new Socket("localhost", 1234);
               //Setting up channel to send data to outputserv
               PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(outputServ
                         .getOutputStream()));
               String input;
               //accepting events from omnibus server and storing them
               //in a string for later processing.
               while ((input = in.readLine()) != null) {
                    //accepting and printing out events from omnibus server
                    //also printing out connected client information
                    System.out.println("Event from: "
                              + csocket.getInetAddress().getHostName() + "-> "
                              + input + "\n");
                    System.out.println("Waiting for data...");
                    //---------putting string into a message object-------------///
                    // creating a scanner to parse
                    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(input);
                    Scanner scannerPop = new Scanner(input);
                    //Creating a new message to hold information
                    Message msg = new Message();
                    //place Scanner object here:
                    MessageParser.printTokens(scanner);
                    MessageParser.populateMessage(scannerPop, msg, input);
                    //calculating the length of the message once its populated with data
                    int length = msg.toString().length();
                    msg.SizeOfPacket = length;
                    //Printing test message
                    System.out.println("-------PRINTING MESSAGE BEFORE INSERT IN DB------\n");
                    System.out.println(msg.toString());
                    System.out.println("----------END PRINT----------\n");
                    //adding message to database
                    testDB.add(msg);
                    System.out.println("-------Accessing data from Map----\n");
                    testDB.print();
                    //---------------End of putting string into a message object----//
                    //sending the string version of the message object to the
                    //output server
                    out.println(msg.toString());
                    System.out.println("Waiting for data...");
                    out.flush();
               //cleaning up
               System.out.println("Connection closed by client.");
               in.close();
               out.close();
               outputServ.close();
               csocket.close();
          catch (SocketException e) {
               System.err.println("Socket error: " + e);
          catch (UnknownHostException e) {
               System.out.println("Unknown host: " + e);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               System.out.println("IOException: " + e);
}Heres the other server that is accepting the string:
public class MultiThreadServer implements Runnable {
     Socket csocket;
     MultiThreadServer(Socket csocket) {
          this.csocket = csocket;
     public void run() {
          try {
               //setting up channel to recieve events from the parser server
               BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                         csocket.getInputStream()));
               String input;
               while ((input = in.readLine()) != null) {
                    //accepting and printing out events from omnibus server
                    //also printing out connected client information
                    System.out.println("Event from: "
                              + csocket.getInetAddress().getHostName() + "-> "
                              + input + "\n");
System.out.println("Lenght of the string was: " + input.length());
                    System.out.println("Waiting for data...");
               //cleaning up
               System.out.println("Connection closed by client.");
               in.close();
               csocket.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               System.out.println(e);
               e.printStackTrace();
}Here's an example of the program works right now:
Someone sends me a string such as this:
Enter port to run server on:
5656
Listening on : ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=5656]
Waiting for client connection...
Socket[addr=/127.0.0.1,port=4919,localport=5656] connected.
hostname: localhost
Ip address: 127.0.0.1:5656
Waiting for data...
Event from: localhost-> UPDATE: "@busch2.raleigh.ibm.com->NmosPingFail1",424,"9.27.132.139","","Omnibus","Precision Monitor Probe","Precision Monitor","@busch2.raleigh.ibm.com->NmosPingFail",5,"Ping fail for 9.27.132.139: ICMP reply timed out",07/05/07 12:29:12,07/03/07 18:02:31,07/05/07 12:29:09,07/05/07 12:29:09,0,1,194,8000,0,"",65534,0,0,0,"NmosPingFail",0,0,0,"","",0,0,"",0,"0",120,1,"9.27.132.139","","","","dyn9027132107.raleigh.ibm.com","","","",0,0,"","","NCOMS",424,""
Now my program makes it all nice and filters out the junk and resends the new string to the other server running here:
Enter port to run server on:
1234
Listening on : ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=1234]
Waiting for client connection...
Socket[addr=/127.0.0.1,port=4920,localport=1234] connected.
Parser client connected.

Lenght of the string was: 579
The length of the final string I sent is 577 by using the string.length() function, but when I re-read the length after the send 2 more bytes got added, and now the length is 579.
I tested it for several cases and in all cases its adding 2 extra bytes.
Anyways, I think this is a bad solution to my problem but is the only one I could think of.
Any help would be great!

(a) You are counting characters, not bytes, and you aren't counting the line terminators that are appended by println() and removed by readLine().
(b) You don't need to do any of this. TCP doesn't lose data. If the receiver manages get as far as reading the line terminator when reading a line, the line will be complete. Otherwise it will get an exception.
(c) You are assuming that the original input and the result of message.toString() after constructing a Message from 'input' are the same but there is no evidence to this effect in the code you've posted. Clearly this assumption is what is at fault.
(d) If you really want to count bytes, write yourself a FilterInputStream and a FilterOutputStream and wrap them around the socket streams before decorating them with the readers you are using. Have these classes count the bytes going past.
(e) Don't use PrintWriter or PrintStream on socket streams unless you like exceptions being ignored. Judging by your desire to count characters, you shouldn't like this at all. Use BufferedWriter's methods to write strings and line terminators.

I want to create a form in Acrobat XI Pro, but if I try to do a new form, it opens Forms Central.

I don't want to create a form in this application since it is going away. How do I get around that? Is there some way to turn off that option so I can create the form directly in Acrobat Pro? !

Thanks! That will help. I didn't want to start to recreate this form in another app. It is one I created in Live Design before we upgraded and I lost that app. Now I cannot edit the form anymore so I need to start over. This way I can just re-create what I already had.

Acrobat Standard (9.4.6) - Issue: "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form"

I have Adobe Acrobat Standard (version 9.4.6). I am trying to create a form but when I start the form wizard, locate the document to convert and click next, I get an error message "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form." What's wrong? (I've used this feature before in Adobe Pro so I am familiar with the process but I am using Standard now). It's not letting me upload my document (an MS Word 2003 document). Please, someone, anyone, help! I think I got a bad batch of software here. Any suggestions? If it's hopeless, who do I call for a replacement if that's the case? Is this software under warranty?

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your email. The file I am trying to convert to PDF and create a form with is a MS Office Word 2003 file. It isn't any specific file; the issue happens every time. I type my text in the Word doc and then proceed to open Adobe Acrobat Standard and use the wizard to create a form from an existing file. I tried to repairing the software but it does not help. Any other suggestions? Is this version of software defective? I really need this feature. I look forward to your reply. Thanks.

Still having issues with CSS fonts in design view

I only see the following error messages when I enter design
view for a component *other* than my main mxml component:
unable to resolve '/ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf' for
transcoding
Unable to transcode /ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf.
The resource named is the project's root directory (?), and
it refers to line 4. (Same line as the src: url() row in the CSS
file.)
These errors don't show up until after I tab to the design
view, and the font isn't used in the design view (other than this
the CSS works fine). (Even though it works perfectly when actually
running the Flex app.)
I'm using an external CSS file that looks like this:
@font-face{
src: url("/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf");
fontFamily: JapaneseBrush;
fontStyle: regular;
I've tried actually placing the ttf file in a few different
locations, ProjectName/assets/, ProjectName/src/assets,
ProjectName/src, ... no change. My main mxml is in ProjectName/src.
Anyone have an issue like this before?

I've aleady done so before - FB-9873.
It's not *exactly* the same problem - now the example project
I gave from last time doesn't work at all. I've added a new comment
to the bug report but it's currently "closed" so it has to be
copied or re-opened or something. No time to create a new example
from scratch this time, sorry.
The extremely annoying aspect to this problem is that I have
a large, complex project where the fonts work fine in design view
(now - it wasn't when I created this thread), and I have no idea
why. It seemed to just magically decide to work one day!
This is a re-occuring problem that seems to come and go
magically, and it probably needs some serious bug testing by more
than just a developer.

Updated Acrobat and now Javascript calculations not working in new forms.

I had created forms for my work that allowed me to calculate back dates from a given date to instruct the form users when components of a project were due. Below is the script I used- I am NOT a programmer and this was taken from another forum. It has worked successfully for 2 years in both Acrobat 9 & 10 and in various forms I have made.
var strStart = this.getField("0VendorArtApproved-2wk").value;
if(strStart.length)
var dateStart = util.scand("mmm d, yyyy",strStart);
var oneDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var dueMillis = dateStart.getTime() - 21 * oneDay;
var dueDate = new Date(dueMillis);
event.value = util.printd("mmm d, yyyy",dueDate);
else
event.value = "NA";
"0VendorArtApproved-2wk" is the field the previous date was taken from- this and the amount of days "- 21" changes from field to field. This form has 3 levels that it calulates dates from- which starts with a single initial date entered into a text box by the user. This allowed the user to see when different elements of a project were due. Sorry if this seems basic to all the Javascript masters but I am really very clueless on prgramming speak and only know what I have read from forums.
The last version of the form that worked successfully was in Oct 13', I went to create a new form and copied these formula boxes to a new form and now half of them do no work.
I have rechecked my formulas and formatting and cannot find and issue. They are exactly the same. One works and one does not. The only thing I can see different from the 2 forms is that I am certain there were 1 or 2 updates to the Acrobat software itself that could possibly have caused an issue.
So I have 2 documents- 1 created in October 13' that works and one created today Jan 14' that does not work. They have the same formulas.
Anyone aware of changes to Acrobat or errors in my formula that could have caused this? I am in version 10.1.9

Applied this fix. There was an error in the NEW document. I redid the formulas in the NEW document and that did not work. Still had the same problem.
SO I went back and redid the formulas in the fields in the OLD document to the revision I needed and that worked. All I was trying to do was tweak the number of days between one element and the next in this area and there were a bunch of other revisions to the form so I figured it was easier to start fresh. I will just make all the revisions to the OLD document- which will be a lot of work, but at least my formulas are working. Not an ideal fix but something must have been glitchy in the new document and I now have a workable form.
I believe some kind of odd interaction happened when I copy and pasted the fields from document to another.
Thank you so much for your help! I am days away from maternity leave so I had to get this figured out fast!

Issue when creating a new email account on Adobe BC

Hi,
I got a big issue when I tried to create a new email account for my site, which is a very email account to me, and I had been using that email address for over 10 years.
Here is the issue, When I created this email account, Adobe BC keep telling me that account has been created (please see the screen shots below), but I did not see this email account on the BC's backend email account list at all. I tried to create that email for over dozen times, it just won't work!
Please anyone who can help me on this, or anyone from Adobe BC tech support team, please contact with me. Becasue I having hard time finding your tech support telephone numeber.
Thank You.

Hello designonly.
You are saying that you have been using that email address for over 10 years. So you are trying to make an address which already somewhere exists?
That brings me to another thing - is the DNS setup made well? In order to make email address work, you should edit the A-Name & NS. Sometime even more settings (depend on domain registrar).
designonly, is this your first email setup?
