Adobe CC on Microsoft Surface Pro

I've installed Creative Cloud on my Surface Pro, and the apps I use tend to work fine - however, there's an issue with the Creative Cloud launcher itself.
The CC context menu (right-click in system tray) only displays text for the first option in the list; the other options are present and can be selected, but have no text.
Additionally, when the launcher needs an update, a small popup appears over the launcher app window. The content for this popup is not correctly displayed; only the CC logo is visible, there are no text or buttons, and the popup's 'close' button (top-right of popup) cannot be clicked. I'm *guessing* that this is an update dialogue, as it went away after I manually updated the launcher app (by re-running the installer).
Both of these issues could be related to a known font sizing bug, but I've set my dektop to 100% zoom (native pixel sizing) so I wouldn't have thought that would be the problem.
I've updated my Surface to Windows 8.1 - could that be the issue?

Hi Dave,
I'm afraid I didn't install Creative Cloud before upgrading the Surface to Windows 8.1, so I don't know if the issue occurs with the standard OS that the Surface Pro ships with (and it's not easy or practical for me to roll back at this stage).
It *could* just be a strange configuration issue with my machine, but it's probably worth the developers exploring further as 8.1 will be leaving preview and shipping fairly soon; if it's a reproducible error you may see it cropping up a fair amount.

Is there a work-around to enable Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro ????

Is there a way to use Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro?
As I understand the problem DPP is unable detect the screen resolution of the tablet ( the defauilt res of the tablet
is 1920 x1080) with a minimum of 1024 x768.
It would be usful if one could type in your working screen res into at startup if that's the only problem
___I've looked at other screen drivers from Intell but I realize if I could install thrm I'de lose the touch functionallity
Are there any other ideas out there???
Thanks artB

Canon DPP is Canon provided application for desktop/laptop computers and they don't have a version for any tablets as far as I'm aware (not even iOS or Android versions).
But there are other photo editing programs that would work. I have an iPad. While Apple has their own photo software (which isn't going to work on a Windows tablet) Adobe has an app called PS Touch.
PS Touch isn't nearly as full featured as Photoshop. It limits the image resolution (it resizes any images that you import to it so they don't exceed the max resolution) but it does have most of the commonly used adjustments. So if a person were just trying to get something out, it works in a pinch.
One other catch is that PS Touch can't deal with RAW images... so it's JPEG only. But I can import JPEGs off the card into the iPad and then edit them -- not as well as I can if they're on a regular computer, but this is what I'ved when I'm away for a weekend with my camera.

Installing Creative Design Suite Standard on Microsoft Surface Pro 3

I am trying to install the Creative Design Suite on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 from a DVD (I recently changed computers and need to transfer my programs to the new machine. From my research assumed the Surface would work well for my needs and allow me to dabble in Illustrator and Photoshop as I learn the programs). I am using an external optical drive however the single USB port on the Surface does not seem to get enough power to run the full installation. I can get the installation started and go so far as to put my in my serial number and then it stops working. At one point I was even given the notice that it appears my software is counterfeit - which it is not. I legally purchased it and have used the same disk on another machine. Is there a way to install the software that would allow me to bypass the usb port/optical drive situation? One solution I read was to use the disk to transfer the program files to another machine, put them on a jump drive and then run installation on the surface through that - but I don't think I can do that with the serial number situation. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Ideas?
-I know the smart thing to do would be to upgrade to the cloud, however at this time I am not proficient enough in the programs that I want to pay $20-30 a month for the programs I am trying to learn. The disk software I currently own is for CS6 and was purchased just before Adobe started using the cloud feature for their programs.

Photoshop CS6 Brush pressure sensitivity not working on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

I have just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro in anticipation of running Photoshop on it. I installed Photoshop and tried to do some sketches. I created a new file and started sketching. I Immediately felt like something was wrong. I checked my brush settings and saw the pressure sensitivity was not available. Everytine I tried to turn it on it was marked with an exclamation point.
Does anybody know if Adobe is supporting the new pressure sensitive pen from microsoft, or if there is some sort of setting that I am missing? I have tried sketchbook pro 2011, and that works amazingly well with the pen. I hope someone can help me along here, because if this tablet can truely run photoshop, it would be a Game Changer.

Just curious.... has any of you tried the shape dynamics in photoshop and turning on pen pressure?
and in illustrator to modify the size to pressure and variation to maximum? (and of course select that brush preset that you just modified and draw with it using SHIFT+B for blob brush or B for regular brush)
I am also interested in purchasing a Surface pro so please report if this helps.
what I recently discovered in other forums is that Sketchbook Pro works flawlessly in desktop mode. Sketchbook Express in the APP mode doesn't support pressure yet.
there is no official confirmation that the surface pro uses a wacom digitizer, however a few artist friends of mine have gone to the microsoft store... brought their own wacom pens (cintiq 15x pen - older models that works with general tabletpcs) and the pro recognized it. which means that it is a wacom digitizer. it wouldn't make sense if a wacom pen works with a different digitizer board like N-trig.
also read in another forum about adobe using wintab and windows 8 wintab drivers are not there yet.
anyway... I'd be glad to know if this works or not
thanks!

HI,
I recently purchased a Microsoft surface pro and installed itunes on it to watch all of my store bought series, however i noticed that as soon as i started to watch my purchases the HD content especially would stutter, lag and de sync from the audio playing.
i was wondering if anyone had similar problems or if anyone knows of a solution
so far i have tried switching the audio from itunes properties, and it did not work.
thanks

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 or Surface 2??

Hello,
I am looking at the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and the Surface 2.
I currently work off a Sony Vaio laptop and it is working OK. I am not intending to replace it (right now); but, would like something that I can work on in another room or take with me.
Would like some feedback on both please.
Thanks!

Microsoft actually has a really neat small test to see which one is best suited to you. Surface Pro 3 was a great addition to the line that added more features to the tablet.
From a personal standpoint I love how they redesigned the rear hinge to do better with keyboards.
To be quite honest though as far as "major features" go the major differences are that the Pro 3's have some i7's while the Pro 2 only had i5's all the way. You can get some cheaper Pro 3's that have only i3's.
The new Pro 3 also has a larger resolution supposedly.
Personally, if you use the keyboard like in your lap or something a lot that would be the only reason as to get the Pro 3 instead of the 2. For most people the Pro 2 was plenty good. I see Pro 3 sort of like Windows 8.1 it was an upgrade to Windows 8 not a real difference.

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and Access

Currently, we are using a handheld unit to collect process data from our line which is then uploaded into our Quality Access database via ODBC link. we are upgrading computers and plan to change this handheld to a Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
Question: What would be easiest method to link or upload process data on the Surface Pro to our existing Access quality database.
1. Put a local copy of our database on the tablet then export to the database or use an append query?

Hi plottster,
Since this question is related to Access database and Cross-platform migration usually need software rebuild for compatibility, our help might be limited.
we suggest you refer to office TechNet forum for more advices because if you have question about Access database on Microsoft platform, you might get more helpful information there

If you have question about development on Microsoft platform, we suggest you ask for more advices from MSDN forum

Can I install Windows 7 on Microsoft Surface Pro 3?

Hi,
I want to install Windows 7 on my Microsoft Surface 3 Pro, I want to know that can I install Windows 7 on MS Surface Pro 3 or if I will install Windows 7 on Surface then what features will not be available in Windows 7 Pro ? What will the issues I will face
after that? Please advise.
Regards.

I'm glad your page mentioned the Hyper-V alternative but wish it would elaborate on the potential deficiencies or necessary workarounds. E.g. regarding mouse pointer or Pen, I have W10TP installed as a Hyper-V guest in my Surface Pro 2 and a silly
thing with it is I need to use Mouse Sonar (e.g. press a Ctrl- key) to find out where the pointer is before clicking. After that it works fine. Heh. Right now I'm not having that problem symptom but I can't get on fully to test this recollection
because I have forgotten its password. ; }

Can we access CM 14.0.2 on the Microsoft Surface Pro 3? It will have Microsoft 8.1 Pro on it.

My name is Cynthia and I work for Chicago Public Schools. We have approximately 400 users of the Primavera CM system. We've had challenges along the way with compatibility issues, but now here's a question I don't have an answer to.
Is the Surface Pro 3 any different and what are the Java requirements?

Hi Cynthia, Unfortunately CM 14.0.x has not been tested/certified against Win 8.1 as a web app server. Also there is no certification for integrating CM with MS Surface Pro. For more further information, please submit a SR within CM tech support. Regards, Matías G. Uribe.

Significant delay at beginning of brush strokes on Microsoft Surface Pro 3?

Using Photoshop Elements 10, it takes an abnormally long time for a brush stroke to begin registering. This is a bit difficult to explain, so here is a visual example:
Here is what happens in photoshop elements 10 when I write 'hello':
And here is what happens if I do the same in Gimp:
As you can see, it takes a relatively long time for photoshop to begin accepting a brush stroke, but otherwise renders the line in real time. This causes significant issues when trying to draw, especially as the delay tends to vary wildly.
I have adjusted every setting I can find. I had a similar issue in Windows 7 which was fixed by disabling 'Flicks' commands, but that has had no effect here. I can find no meaningful settings in Elements 10 itself aside from adjusting its memory usage, and adjusting that has been ineffectual.
All help is appreciated - I can't stand to use Gimp another day.

Hello bblackstock-
Getting the most performance for your buck is important to me as well, but sometimes you need to save a little money and compromise on your technology solutions, so I understand your decision to go with the 64GB Surface Pro 3. I am sorry to hear that the 64GB did not live up to your expectations when you found that it had the i3 processor and you were no longer able to exchange it.
Per our Return & Exchange promise here, we do allow 15 days for most returns (30 days if you are a My Best Buy Elite member and 45 days if you are an Elite Plus member). Regrettably, beyond that time frame, we are unable to offer a return or exchange.
I apologize for any disappointment that this may cause you.

In Windows 8 on a Microsoft Surface Pro scrolling on the touch screen highlights text instead of scrolling - how doI fix that?

This happens about 90% of the time. Going to the same websites in IE or Chrome that problem doesn't occur. What's wrong with my Firefox settings? And how do I fix this.

I'm afraid I'm not sure whether they will work. They will at least need to have been updated by the add-on developer to work with v26.
There may be other limitations. I know that in early builds only add-ons which use the Addons SDK would work. This is still a development pre-alpha build so you should expect some issues / limitations until it reaches full release. I believe that is expected in December this year.
If you are willing to give it a go I recommend installing it and testing out what is possible. Installing Nightly will not affect your current stable channel install so if you don't like Nightly you can just uninstall it and go back to using Firefox 23.
I hope that helps.

How to install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on a Surface Pro 3?

I have downloaded it many times, but upon trying to install I receive notification that it cannot run on this device. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Hey matthewe16314199,
You might need to tell me whether you are running Windows 8 RT or Windows 8 pro on your Surface pro.
If it is a Microsoft Surface RT running Windows 8 RT - then you cannot install Acrobat
http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/surface-with-windows-rt/specifications
Or if Microsoft Surface Pro running Windows 8 Pro (full version) - then only you can install.

Please check and then let me know.

Signing pdf dokuments with the Microsoft Surface pen. How to make the signature a non-editable part of the file?

Hi!
I have purchased a Microsoft Surface PRO 3. One main reason for the purchase is to sign pdf´s with the Surface-pen on the screen, save the file and avoid paper-printing the documents. Problem is however that the signature doesnt become a solid part of the document when saving it. This makes the signatures randomly not visible on some apple-produkcts, some printers etc.
I use only a free-download-version of the Adobe reader.My question is if a pro-version allow me to save the documents with the electronic signatures as a fixed part of the document - like the rest of the pdf-content?
Regards Trygve Wedset

Hi vward26,
You can use Acrobat to make only part of a PDF document editable.
Kindly refer this FAQ:http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/how-to-convert-just-part-of-a-pdf-file/
