Can I use the Registry to change the Login Name used in Note Tool?

If adding notes in browser-based review, you cannot edit the Author name used in the note tool. Its uses the fixed Windows login name shown in Edit > Preferences > Identity.
If you turn off the "Always use Log-in name for Author name" setting, the Author can be changed when adding notes in Acrobat itself, but the Author is fixed to the Windows login name in browser-based review.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knows if this can be changed in the Registry? I've found the login field name here (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor) but it unfortunately does not update the Author field.

Good afternoon!
You can replicate this in Acrobat 8 as follows:
- In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Commenting, turn off "Always use Log-in Name for Author Name"
- Open a PDF in Acrobat > Add a Note > Right-click Properties > General tab > Rename the Author to "TESTING" > Click "Make Properties Default" > Click OK
- Set up a Network Folder Online Comments Repository as follows: In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Reviewing, set Server Type to "Network Folder" and browse for a folder to save comments to.
- Open Registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor
- tauthor should be showing "TESTING" that we entered earlier
- Open a browser window and drag a PDF into it
- Add a Note, the Author name is fixed to be the Windows Login name.

    If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
    to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
    version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
    likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
    G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
    which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
    The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
    A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    {With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
    things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
    There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
    or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
    from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
    as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
    is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
    a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
    specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
    do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
    You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
    when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
    and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
    labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
    sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
    or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
    that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
    Good luck!

  • I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
    Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
    Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
    Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
    Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

    I have bought an used Iphone 5. I dont have the password for the existing login id of the old owner. How do i use the phone and change the log in id?

    Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password.  You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in.  hope this helps.

  • Can't figure out how to change the bottom margins

    This is my 3rd day with a mac and I can't figure out how to change the margins in Pages '09 so that it doesn't include a .5 margin on the bottom.
    I'm using a HP OfficeJet J6450. In the page setup, I changed the "untitled" user defined margins to .1 for top and sides and 0 for the bottom and it still includes a .5 margin on the bottom. Changing the untitled seems to help side margins.
    I've used the inspector to see if there is a setting there that defines the bottom margin as .5 and that doesn't seem to do it.
    If I print borderless, the text boxes that I have a .3 border around don't print on the edges even though they show up on my workspace. It also throws off the top and bottom.
    This is a big assumption, but I assumed that if the workspace and rules show white space and now grayed out, it would print that way. It's not.
    Any ideas? Thanks! Ana
    P.S. I've downloaded & installed updates for everything - OS, iWorks, Printer

    Peggy,
    Maybe this is true of Macs? On my windows systems - I can specify more options on both my printers and can print beyond .5 inches at the bottom. One specific option on my J6450 that I can select is "minimize borders" and it will print about .1 or .2 from the edge. On my mac, I do not have that feature to select. If I print borderless, even though my layout shows it should not go off the paper, once printed it does.
    Thanks.

  • Hi, I recently changed my username for my iTunes/iCloud account. Can anyone tell me how i change the username on my iCloud iPad? When I go onto setting to change it it keeps the username grey so I can't even select it?

    Hi, I recently changed my username for my iTunes/iCloud account. Can anyone tell me how i change the username on my iCloud iPad? When I go onto setting to change it it keeps the username grey so I can't even select it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Using a Variable to change the content of Caption Text?

    Can someone give me some direction on how I can do something like this.
    I have one caption, I want to change it's text upon a button click.
    So I have 3 buttons and 3 sets of  text, and one caption.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi there
    You might achieve it in a few different ways.
    Multiple captions and use Hide / Show actions to hide one and show another
    Create a variable and use that in the caption. Then configure the action to change the variable value

  • Can I edit the rpt file & change the datasource before loading the report?

    We are an ISV and our application has a lot of reports.  Our reports use a SQL Server database as the data source and each SQL Server at our customer sites has a different name.
    In our testing we have determined that ReportDocument.Load tries to connect to the SQL Server that is saved in the RPT.  If it can't fine the SQL Server saved in the RPT the load take about 60 seconds while it is waiting for the SQL Server Connection to time out.
    We are using the Visual Studio 2008 version of Crystal Reports.  This did not seem to be a problem with VB6/CR8.5.
    We would like to edit the RPT and change the data source to the appropriate SQL Server before we call ReportDocument.Load.
    Is it possible to edit the rpt file and change the data source before loading the report?
    Or is there some way to tell Crystal not to try connecting to the DB
    during the report.load?
    In our case we will NEVER use the data source that is saved in the RPT, we will always change the data source using ApplyLogOnInfo.
    Thanks

    HI Todd,
    You Can Not edit the report document before ReportDocument.Load() because if you dont load the report then you dont have anything to Edit
    But as far as changing the datasource is concerned you can change that at runtime.
    For changing the datasource following code will help you if both databases have a same schema :
    Code for changing the database
    ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
    crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "SERVER";
    crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE";
    crConnectionInfo.UserID = "USERID";
    crConnectionInfo.Password = "PASSWORD";
    // Loop through the ReportObjects in a report and find all the subreports
    foreach(ReportObject crReportObject in crReportDocument.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects)
         // Check the kind of the ReportObject, if it is a subreport
         // proceed. If not skip.
         if(crReportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
              // Get the SubReport in the form of a ReportDocument
              string sSubreportName = ((SubreportObject)crReportObject).SubreportName;
              ReportDocument crSubReportDocument = crReportDocument.OpenSubreport(sSubreportName);
              // Use a loop to go through all the tables in the main report
              foreach(Table crTable in crSubReportDocument.Database.Tables)
    // Get the TableLogOnInfo from the Table and then set the new
    // ConnectionInfo values.
    TableLogOnInfo crLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
    crLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
    // Apply the TableLogOnInfo
    crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crLogOnInfo);
    // Set the location of the database. This value will vary from database to
    // database.
    crTable.Location = "DATABASE.OWNER.TABLENAME" or crTable.Locations;
    The sample for doing this is available on support site.
    Thanks,
    Prasad

  • Can Markers (or anything else) automatically change the patch?

    I've been looking all over to try and figure out how to have MainStage automatically change to the next patch when a new Marker comes up on the backing track through PlayBack.
    Basically, when i'm playing to a backing track, i sometimes play the pads and keys on my Akai MPK49, and when a new section comes up and i need need to change my synth sound, i don;t physically have enough hands to change to the next patch. I've read a load guides, but using the AIC driver in Logic seems far too complicated and I'm getting a bit out of my depth.
    The whole point of me using markers is to identify different sections with different instruments, but I have to change between them manually anyway?
    Is there a way to have the Marker automatically change the patch? The only other way i can see of getting round this live is having a midi footswitch to automatically cycle through the patches, which means Markers are of no use to me in my 'Perform' view really.
    Any help would be amazing!

    Hi
    Currently, there is no 'super easy' way to have MS change patches automatically, and definately NOT directly from Playback markers.
    It may be possible to make use of the MIDI file 'send' capability per patch or set, routing out and back in to MS, but frankly, NOT a great workaround.

  • A guest at our home used his ipad and changed the network name. How do I change it back to the apple network

    A guest at our house was using his ipad and changed the apple netwrok name to another and put a password on it.  How do I eliminate this netwrok and get back to the Apple Network?

    Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on resetting the password. Once that is done, you can access the base station to change its Wireless Name (or SSID) back to what you prefer. To discourage other "guests" from changing the AirPort settings, you should also change the default base station Administrator password.
