Adobe for PC has "Lifecycle" where a user can insert an image in PDF..

that has been Reader Enabled. How can someone using Acrobat for Mac do the same thing? Everything I've read says only PC users can do this. "Lifecycle" calls it an "Image Stamp"?

And.... Yo want to know the funny thing. Acrobat was originally created for the Mac Platform First.
See most PC people are afraid to try cutting edge technologies. So Companies will usually create something (such as Acrobat) on Mac Platform because we (Mac people) are so hungry for software, we'll try anything. If it goes great guns with us they'll let it stay with Mac, then they develop one for PC Platform, naturally because the PC Community is a bigger base, they will put more features, bells and whistles, in the PC version; and leave the Mac Community behind, because they figure we are happy just to get working software, we will put up with the less bells and whistles. And in some cases. Companies once they get a good software going on the Mac platform, then get one for the PC platform, will just abandon the Mac Platform Altogether.
Corel use to have products for Mac, they don't now. Intuit stopped selling Quickbook Pro for Mac for almost 10 years. At one point before Office 2004 came out for Mac there was some question even if a another Mac version would be available. The MacBU (mac Business Unit), is constantly having to beg for personel and funds to keep office going for Mac (though from recent reports since Gates has gotten out of the picture, the next version will have adequate personel and Funding. MS quit outright developing IE for the Mac (Billy boy got upset about Apple coming out with Safari, and picked up his marbles and left.) Lotus 1-2-3 had a good database program for the Mac. Wordperfect was a Super Word Processor for the Mac. Many Lawyers still use it by means of a program called SheepShaver. Its a lot better than word ever was. It does legalese and boilerplating far better than word ever will. And they have a feature called Reveal codes everyone brags about. However the PC version of WordPerfect still exist, on PC. IF I had the time I could think of other examples.

Is it possible for a saved path to open a folder where the user can select the file to open?

I would like to retieve a link via database that would open a folder of drawings, word documents, pdf files, excel files etc., where the user can select which file they want. Selected files would open in which ever format they were with programs that are already installed on the users computer. For example, the link would open a folder where several solid works files were, and a couple of Word documents. The user would select one of the Solid Works files, and it would open up in the Solid Works installation on the users computer. Is this possible, or must a link point directly to a file?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "link". Are you referring to a URL that uses a "file://" protocol?
The standard File Dialog VI has a "start path" input that you can set so the file dialog opens to that folder.

Creating an interface with several video windows where a user can connect their own camera to window

Hi,
I posted this in the Flash Media Live encoder Forum and it may have been the wrong place to get an answer.
currently I use the following workflow for Live video streaming.
I have FMLE on a computer streaming the Video feed to my FMS.
I currenlty use Dreamweaver to create window with a few instances of a video window and one of the windows is configured to rtmp to my server and the stream name of the stream I have setup in FMLE.
This then streams to one of the windows.
I then assign a different Stream name to the other windows.
I send an FMLE client to a user in the locations that want to have a video presence on the webpage.
I send them instructions and running FMLE and the parameters to use to get their camera up and running.
This works fine to a point.
Most of the users are not technically minded and so often this leads to issues and delays to get these things to work.
I want to move on and improve this flow.
I want to create the video instances on the page where:
Below each video window is a text input field where a user can type in their name which will be used as the stream name.
Below each video window is a button that the user clicks to connect their camera automatically without having to install FMLE.
Once the video feed is running, only that user can click the button again to disconnect it. ( The button changes to "Stop Broadcast" etc).
I have looked at the structure of Ustream for example, and this seems to be the method they use as you can download the XML file of your channe,l and the RTMP URL and stream name can be copied and then used directly in FMLE and you can stream with more control of your camera that way.
Can you please provide instructions or guidance on how to begin this process?
thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in this kind of workflow.
There are multiple ways to do it. Adobe Connect does this seamlessly.
But to try out few of the latest technlogies, I recommend trying RTMFP. There is a hosted server where you can try out your sample client applications. There is also client application made similar to what you are looking for.

Is it possible to have a section where the user can take notes?

I want to create a iBook for my class to use on iPads. Is there a way to create "Study Guide" where the user can type in notes or short answers?

iBooks on iOS provides a notes feature built-in.
You can investigate using an HTML Widget, but I wouldn't rely on it beyond sessions.

See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

Creating a Flyer template where user can insert pictures

I have created an event flyer that some want to use as a template for future events.
I know how to create fillable fields using Acrobat so the user who only has Reader can change text information.
The problem is the flyer needs to have the flexibility to change the picture of the speaker.
Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Keep in mind the person using my template won't have Acrobat. They will have Reader and MAYBE MS Office Suite.
Thanks so much!!
Most users wil have Windows.
I have a Mac

If it needs to work with Reader, the method discussed in the following thread is one possibility: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5625899
A form created with LiveCycle Designer can use an image field, which allow a user to select an image in JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or GIF format.

I keep getting "Adobe Flash Player has stopped potentially unsafe" but can't click Settings

Every time I open a blank tab in IE8, I get a message:
Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network about:blank is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location: s.nsdsvc.com. To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings. You must restart the application after changing your settings.
I have tried clicking the Settings button, but that just closes the message box. I have added both about:blank and s.nsdsvc.com to my trusted sites. I tried creating an html file with nothing in it and setting that as my home, but I am still getting the stupid message.
This is driving me to distraction. How can I fix it?
p.s. If this is already posted and answered, I apologize. I searched for it but it appears that the forum search is still broken.

There is no swf in a blank page, so I don't know how to do what you suggested.
However, I tried something else that seems to have worked. I took EVERYTHING out of my list of trusted sites. I know it doesn't make sense, but I'm not getting those messages now.
Thanks,

Best way of creating a report where end user can maintain names in groups

I'm working on a project as a independent consultant for a company and I'm using Crystal Professional Reports version XI.
I have a main report and a subreport that contains summary totals. I'm going to link the two reports by a date parameter range. For the subreport, the report is going to be grouped by four groups. Each of the groups contain a list of names. What would the best approach to give the end user who will be running the report on a daily basis to add or remove names for each of the groups when end user is prompted to run the report?
   I want to make it easy as possible for the end user to maintain this list in the sub report because of the following reasons: after the report is deployed,I will not be there on site to maintain it instead I will be available over the phone for support and the end user is the manager of the department and is not a Crystal reports developer or programmer.
   I hope that made sense. If not I can give more details. Have a good day.
Thanks for your help,
Ting

Well let me start by saying that maintaining hard coded lists in a report definition is a bad idea and should be avoided if at all possible.
This of course means that it isn't always possible... In fact I have a few of my own reports that suffer from the same situation. Here is the way I handle it to make the list maintenance as easy and error free as possible.
#1) I created a new Report Custom Function. Let's call it NamesToGroups. The function will look like this... (Crystal Syntax)
Function (stringVar PersonName)
SELECT PersonName
CASE
"Gustavo Achong",
"Catherine Abel",
"Kim Abercrombie",
"Humberto Acevedo",
"Pilar Ackerman",
"Frances Adams",
"Margaret Smith",
"Carla Adams" :
    "Name of Group 1"
CASE
"Jay Adams",
"Ronald Adina",
"Samuel Agcaoili",
"James Aguilar",
"Robert Ahlering",
"François Ferrier",
"Kim Akers",
"Lili Alameda",
"Amy Alberts" :
    "Name of Group 2"
CASE
"Alberto Baltazar",
"Wayne Banack",
"Darrell Banks",
"Norma Barrera",
"Gytis Barzdukas",
"David Bartness",
"Karel Bates" :
    "Name of Group 3"
CASE"Donald Blanton",
"Linda Burnett",
"Michael Blythe",
"Gabriel Bockenkamp",
"Michael Bohling",
"Eli Bowen",
"Lester Bowman",
"David Bradley" :
    "Name of Group 4"
Default : "Unknown Name"
Note that the list setup makes it easy to see who's in what group and makes it easy to add new people to the correct group...
#2) Now you can simple use the function in a formula. Lets call it NameGroups and the formula would look like this...
NamesToGroups({TableName.FullPersonName})
#3) Now NameGroups is available for grouping or selection purposes or just to add as a formula on the design surface.
#4) If you are using CRS or BOE the function can be saved to the repository for use in other reports as well
Now any time a new name needs to be added, the user can access the "Report Custom Functions" are of the Formula Workshop and add the name to the function, which in turn, will be propagated through the rest of the report. It's also easy to see how the function is actually working so that new groups can also be easily added.
HTH,
Jason

I keep getting the following message and crash - "plugin container for firefox has stopped working." How can I fix this?

Over the last few day the interent has been crashing with the following response - "plugin container for firefox has stopped working." Why and how can I fix this issue?

Same problem here. Firefox keeps freezing, sometimes for 5 minutes, then either starts working again really slowly or I get the plug-in error crash. This last time I copied what windows said about the error. This is the info:

Don't know what it means or if it will help solve the issue, but thought I would share it.
All I know is that I am about to do something I never thought I would, switch to Chrome.

No. However, OS X has always used the PDF format to raster pages to printers.
It has built-in support for PDF, but some of the advanced features are not available. The Preview app can be used to view PDFs, and Safari can render PDFs in the browser.

PC Users Can't Download Image Attachments

This has happened with a few of my clients.
I attached jpeg images to email I'm sending. In the file selection window I check the box for "Send Windows Friendly Attachments".
When the recipient receives the email they say they can see the images, like it's embedded in an html email. Right clicking on the image they have a Copy Image option, but no Save Image option. There is also no Save File Attachments option in the Outlook menus.
Is there a friendlier way to send images to people on PC so they can actually download them easily?
Message was edited by: sfdesigner

Yea - clients keep calling asking me to compress the images into a zip file or post them on the web and email them a link. It would be nice if there was a way to avoid the extra step. It helps to see the images in the email for preview purposes but then there doesn't seem to be a way to save them out.
Is it simply not possible to send images to PC users as attachments? Seems kind of odd.

How to set a form field in pro so an 'adobe reader' user can insert a jpg (not a pdf) as an image. It used to work but now doesn't.

I think this question has been asked a million times before but I'm hoping something has been resolved now! It did work for me and my client a few months ago (by using the 'event.target.buttonImportIcon();' script. I'm 99% certain it worked fine a few months ago, where the adobe reader user could select a jpg to insert...but now it only allows a pdf. Does anyone know if anything can be done? I know you may say LiveCycle but is there really nothing else?
Thanks in advance.

There's nothing to solve. If Reader (XI only) is used only PDF files can be selected. This is how it's supposed to work (although I agree it's silly and should be changed).

HT5655 Has Adobe Flash Player been blocked again. I can download the image and proceed to installing; however, installation of flash prompts me to select update methods. I cannot select update or not update. I also cannot click on NEXT.

Has Apple blocked Flash Player again, listing it in the block list. I am able to download the image from Adobe, and begin the install process. Once I get to the option to select update Flash automatically or not, I cannot select an option or click on NEXT to finish the installation. Thoughts?

Adobe's Flash Player Install Manager was updated about a week ago.
I suggest trying the download from Adobe's site here:

Is there a way to set up a form where the user can define the recipient?

I want to set up a form that looks like this:
Your email: [email protected]
Your Friend's email: [email protected]
Message to your friend: I though you would find this
interesting.. blah blah.... www.linktomysite.com
So is there a way to have the form recipient be defined by
the person filling it out? So [email protected] sends this to
[email protected] through a form on my site. I know there's
plenty of refer-a-friend scripts out there, but it seems like this
could be done with a little bit of code changing... maybe not.
Thanks for the help (and thanks in advance for not being an
a-hole to a newb),
Gregory

What you are looking for is a "send a friend a link" script.

use the menu to find the flavor of scripting you can use.
