Adobe synce doesn't save added brushes, actions.

Just finished a complete recovery of windows 8.1 and decided to see if synce worked. the only thing it recovered was my workspace. Brushes and actions were ignored even though I told it to back them up. Luckily I had the foresight to copy the preset folder to a backup disk

bump, I realize my post is long, but the main issue is that on subsequent calls to this method, the only line that isn't working is the "Save"  method call. For some reason, it seems that Acrobat is maintaining a lock on the file, preventing a save. So that when I call "Save", the result value is "false" rather than "true", and the save never occurs.
The only solution I can think of is to never save to an existing file. I'd have to come up with a way to delete the current file and then save a file of the same filename in its place, but I haven't implemented this yet and can foresee their being issues with being unable to delete the file if it is being locked. Is this the intended functionality of "Save"? How long would I have to wait for Acrobat to release its lock on the file? Is there a way to cause the file to be unlocked (or saved over) programatically?

  • ITunes syncing doesn't save all settings

    Not sure if this belongs in the developer forums, but I couldn't find a good place for this question over there.
    Basically, I'm running the iOS 5 beta on both my iPhone 4 (GSM) and my iPad 2 (Wi-Fi). I sync pretty regularly, and even use the iCloud backups, which seem to be working pretty well.
    However, I run into this major issue each time I have to restore the devices when updating (that is, when OTA updates don't work...which happens from time to time). I sync RIGHT before I restore, to hopefully ensure that everything is preserved, but when I finish the restore, iTunes seems to forget all my settings. It attempts to sync apps that were either previously removed from my device, or apps that were never on it to begin with (this happens moreso on my iPad wherein it seems to think that a few of my iPhone apps belong on it, when they were never on my iPad to begin with).
    My folders are never preserved, random settings are undone, and twice its lost a few days worth of photos. It doesn't even back up app settings. I have several games where weeks upon weeks worth of progress have been lost.
    I don't understand what's going on. It's as if there's no point to syncing at all because nothing gets backed up. Has anyone else run into this problem? I'm using the latest betas for iTunes and iOS, and have been part of the dev program since iOS 5 beta 3.
    I know it's beta software, and that "bugs may happen", but this seems like a larger iTunes syncing issue whereby it simply refuses to do what it claims to do.

    Well repairing permissions through disk utility didn't work.
    In the end I converted the file to AAC from within iTunes and I was then able to edit & save info field again. I know this is not a fix but it is a usable work-around.

  • Firefox Sync doesn't save all my browser history it only seems to save a few entrieswhen I sync to a new profile

    I don't know if only saves after a certain amount of time if does is there a work around to this.

    The history can be quite large, normally around 100,000 pages as you can see in the places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    It would take quite some time and a lot of storage space on the Sync server and it would affect Firefox's performance to sync that much data.
    That is why the amount of history that is shared is limited.
    You could copy the places.sqlite file to other devices to have all the history and if necessary restore the bookmarks from compressed .jsonlz4 backup.

    Hi pissedadobeuser,
    Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
    Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
    Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

  • My iPod syncs, but doesn't save ANYTHING on the iPod

    Basically, my iPod syncs, but doesn't save ANYTHING on the iPod, its the first iPod I have used and it really annoys me... I have tried pretty much everything :@
    Help?!

    Hello JellyPopJade,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    How do you have your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? Automatically or do you manually manage its contents by dragging what you would like from your library to the iPod.
    If you have it set to automatically sync all checked songs and videos, make sure each track you wish to sync to your iPod is checked within your iTunes library.
    Under the Summary tab for your iPod, is there any space taken of by the "Other" category (orange)?

  • Submit button from Adobe form doesn't trigger action???

    Hi all,
    the submit button within Adobe form doesn't trigger any action that i wrote. it happens to my machine, but it doesn't happen on some of my colleague's machines.
    i am using Adobe reader 8, when the first time i use IE to display the app, it prompts me to install some kind of activeX plug in, and after it installed, it told me that some setting is not correct, and it mentioned about adobe reader 6 or 7.
    will downgrade to 6 or 7 solve this problem? is there any other walkaround for it?
    thank you!

    If you are on Netweaver 2004s SP9 or higher, you could change the displayType property of InteractiveForm UI element to "Web Dynpro Native" and use the submit button from "Native" tab.
    If you are any other lower version, you dont have a choice but to use "activeX" which requires Active Component Framework (ACF) to communicate with server. You need to use button from "Web Dynpro ActiveX" tab. You need to install the right version of ACF (SAP Note 766191). Better if you use Adobe Reader 8.1.2.
    Thanks

  • Database access tutorial doesn't add actionOutputs when action is added

    I've installed weblogic portal 10.3
    Potential issue:
    The help shipped with 10.3 in the path %BEA_HOME%\tools\eclipse_pkgs\2.0\eclipse_3.3.2\eclipse\plugins is
    org.eclipse.help.base_3.3.1.v20070813_33x.jar
    not ...base_3.3.2.v...
    In the workshop tutorial,
    "Accessing a Database from a Beehive NetUI Web Application"
    in step 2, "Add a Page Flow and a Control"
    the effect of adding the action "getCustomers" is, according to the tutorial,
    supposed to add the following annotation to the CustomerManagementController.java code:
    @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "",
    actionOutputs = { @Jpf.ActionOutput(name = "getCustomersResult", type = model.Customer[].class) }) })
    However, when I do this, the added code is missing the actionOutputs phrase.
    Is this the only thing which is missing, or are there other missing pieces as well?
    Edited by: user10508604 on Nov 24, 2008 1:24 PM

    It appears the proper output annotation should be added as follows:
    In the Page Flow Editor,
    make sure the Action "getCustomers" centered.
    There should be a blue arrow pointing to the right to "customers.jsp"
    The arrow should have no small icons indicating parameters overlaid in front of it.
    Right click on the blue arrow and select "Edit Action Outputs..." from the menu.
    The "Edit Action Output Annotations" dialog should appear.
    Click the "New" button with an arrow pointing to the left.
    A new Action Output labelled "newActionOutput1{String} should appear under "Action Outputs:" on the left,
    with its name and type under "Details" in the lower part of the dialog.
    Change the name in the details to "getCustomersResult".
    Change the type in the details to "model.Customer[]".
    Hit the "Copy" button to make this action output also a page input for the "customers.jsp" page.
    Hit "OK"
    An icon indicating that parameters are being passed to the jsp page should appear
    overlaid on top of the blue arrow.
    Inspection of the "getCustomers" action definition annotation in CustomerManagementController.java will
    show the action output definition for "getCustomersResult" is now present.
    Examination of the code for "customers.jsp" will also show the following line declaring the page input:
    <netui-data:declarePageInput name="getCustomersResult" type="model.Customer[]" required="true" />

  • Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from e.g. dropbox)

    Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from dropbox I can still see them after closing the app or switching documents)? I lost some valuable annotations while switching documents and apps over time. How do I save them? Only by sending it to dropbox for instance?

    It saves the file when:
    1) The app goes to background
    2) A share action (open in, email, print) occurs
    3) A form submit occurs
    4) You close the document by going to "Home" or "Documents", or open another document
    One issue that people encounter is that they open the file in a reader that does not support annotations (like the dropbox PDF view or the iOS Mail app). It doesn't sound like this is the case for you though, since you do see the annotations.
    There is a known issue, where on a small number of documents with specific properties, we fail to save changes. This is an issue that we have fixed and will be in our next release. The release is currently pending approval by Apple. It's possible that you encountered this issue, and if so, I apologize.

  • ADOBE READER doesn't respond (Highlighting Tool)

    I like making use of the highlighting tool in a pdf that can be highlighted and I like to change the colors as I would if I were using this as a book to help me study.
    When I highlight and click properties to change the color....I go through a lengthy process where first ADOBE READER doesn't respond.
    Then to add to my 4-7 minute wait the entire screen turns a faded white and I see that blue circle rotating around as a cursor.
    When the program decides to advance it leads me to "Highlight Properties" window which sometimes works but as of lately doesn't.  
    This entire process is very painful.  To a Dad who likes watching UFC and ACTION/VOLENT MOVIES, the pain is comparable to watching "My Little Pony" or "One Direction" videos or being forced to watch a "chick flick marathon" on Father's Day!  No offense to any of those who may partake in that sort of thing.  
    Can someone please help me before I take this program out of machine for a replacement?
    -HULK
    I could upload a video of the problem but I am doubtful anyone would watch it due to the severity of this issue.

    Greetings, frustrated Dad,
    Having just read your inquiry (I don't work for Adobe, but have used Reader and several other products) by any chance is the document you're trying to work with one that was created as a PDF from a scanned document? If what you're currently looking at was created from a scanned document, then Adobe can't "read it" in that format, as it views it as though it were an "image". Get it? And it can't highlight images, as it doesn't recognize the text. (If this isn't the case, sorry, but I can't help. I purchased a program called Nitro Pro, rather than purchasing Adobe Acrobat, and it lets me create and edit PDF's. You might want to have a look at it.) I logged on here today to view a document I'd uploaded some time ago (prior to purchasing the 3rd party PDF program and just happened to see your question. I was trying to use this online version to convert a scanned document into a Word document, as long as I was here, but it appears that THIS site along with its features, are very limited. I can store PDF's that are already created, but without purchasing, not much more can be done, other than adding text to an already PDF, or highlighting, which you've had problems with.) Don't know what browser you're using, but in Chrome, they have free extensions, including highlighters, that will let you do what you're asking about on any web page. You just download the browser extension through Google Play Store, and go to it.

  • Reader doesnˋt save edited files

    Hello Community,
    Iˋve huge issues with my Adobe Reader.
    I always add my class notes directly into the PDF-files. Last semester it has been working perfectly fine.
    This semester the Reader doesnˋt save the edited document. Instead it saves other version (_1, _2,...) each time pdf is viewed.
    Iˋve already updated the App, reset the tablet as well as reinstalled the App.
    How can I solve this issue?
    Thank you,
    Veronika

    Hi Veronika
    Sorry that this is causing trouble. Actually, the problem has arisen because you opened the file from the "folder" each time with Mobile Link - on. Mobile Link auto uploads your local document to the cloud and shows it in Recents. The best way to use this feature is to open files from Acrobat.com.
    I ran your exact steps and found the problem. We will work towards fixing it in our next release. For now, you can follow these steps to recover the changes in your document:
      1.  The local file in your file manager, "Vertriebsmanagement" should contain all the changes you made to it whenever you opened it from that location. From your email below, it seems you started opening the file from Recents too. Those change would not be in the local file, but step 2 will help you retrieve those changes too.
      2.  To get rid of the multiple versions of the documents created on the cloud, follow these steps:
      Visit files.acrobat.com from a computer/browser.
      Login to Acrobat.com account and click on Files.
      Click on Recent Files tab.
      The files will be sorted by Date Viewed. Open the topmost version of your file. Note that it must have been renamed to "abc (y)". Ensure it has all the changes that you made. It will have the changes that you made when you kept opening the file from local file storage.
      Close the file. Select all other versions of this file from the list and delete them. Note that these file versions will begin with the filename and followed by numbers.
      Rename the file that you didn't delete to the original file name.
      3.  Going forward, to use Mobile Link - ensure that after opening a new file from local file storage, it is always opened from Recents on your mobile device. Since the local file was uploaded to the cloud, it is best to always open the cloud file to ensure all your changes are sync'd back to the cloud as well.
    Hope this helps resolve your issue. Please let me know if it doesn't
    Thanks
