Can't move layers in Mac Acrobat 9 Pro

I can't move layers in Acrobat 9 Pro, even though Adobe says it's possible. All that I get is a circle wih a slash at the cursor on clicking and holding the mouse, indicating that moving the layer up or down in the stack is not possible. No key presses help either. Four attempts to get a definitive answer from Adobe Support yield only that they said it was possible. They also admitted that even if you did move a layer, it would not affect how the layer objects display, ie. whether above or below other layer's objects!
Has anyone been successful in moving a layer?
Relatedly, one (Windows) respondent says she can "position" a new layer upon Layer Import, but the Mac dialog makes no mention of the layer stack, just the X-Y coordinates on the PDF page....
Thanks for any help or thoughts,
fss

Thanks guys for responding. I went through the usual steps of trashing preferences, shutting down the computer, going home, and drinking a beer. I got in this morning and booted her up, and now everything works just as it should.
No idea what it was. I'm positive that the tracks weren't locked, and I'm 95% sure that I was in arrow mode (I was selecting the layer right before trying to move it.)
I don't know what it was, but I hope it never happens again.
Thanks again,
Nathan

  • Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?

    Why can't I download trial for Acrobat Pro on my Mac?  I get an error message.  I click the download:  "Install Adobe Download Assistant", then click on it, see Adobe AIR application instaler, then get "Sorry, and error has occurred.  This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."   If I knew who the application author was, I'd contact him!  Thanks, Pete

    Hey PetaPete,
    There are some known issues when downloading Adobe Download Assistant which you can find at:
    Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
    So, you might alternatively need to try downloading Acrobat from the link given below:
    http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html
    Note:
    1) You need to stay on the Adobe trial page for the respective product that you're downloading. You should be signed in.
    2) Copy/ Paste trial link for the files that you're downloading from Prodesigntools on to the address bar of Adobe trial page and hit enter.

  • Problems with volume when streaming a Netflix movie from my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2009) to my flat screen TV?

    Hi!
    Does anyone know what I need to do in order to turn up the volume when I’m streaming a Netflix movie from my Mac Book Pro (Mid 2009) to my flat screen TV?
    I hooked up the HDMI adapter from my Mac to my TV and it is currently in Mirror Mode, but I can’t turn up the volume, the only audio I’m able to adjust is on my Mac.
    I’ve already tried: System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers Built in output.  That’s the only option my Mac gives me.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello jguti,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your external display connected via HDMI is not being detected by the computer.  At this point, the best bet for your next troubleshooting step would be to reset the system:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.

  • Can I 'move' my current Win XP Pro sytem into boot camp?

    Searched high and low, but haven't been able to find an answer to this.
    Can I 'move' my current Windows XP Pro SP2 installation into the Boot Camp Partition of one of the new iMacs?
    By 'move' I mean something like ghosting/backing up the current C drive and then restoring it into the boot camp partition.
    I'm relatively tech savvy (at least on the Windows side) so fiddling with / re-installing drivers etc shouldn't be a problem (as long as Windows comes up and recognizes at least the keyboard)
    Thanks

    You should download and play with Parallels Desktop for Mac. Not as a final solution, but as an in between. they have some utilities for moving Windows machines and images into virtual machines and also utilities for moving between virtual machines and boot camp - so some combination of those might be the solution you're looking for.
    Personally, I just run XP and Vista in Parallels - it works perfectly.

    The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

  • How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    I tried to use "Edit Document Text" Function. There is an error pop-up as " All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.". How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

    It is referring to the fonts installed on your computer - to edit text within a PDF you must have the same font installed (i.e. one with the same PostScript name). Acrobat doesn't have a separate way to load fonts, you install them in the normal way through your operating system control panel after downloading/purchasing the font files from a vendor.

    To Purchase and install Mountain Lion these days.. you must buy a download content code from Apple directly... It is no longer available directly via the Mac App Store as an item you can select and buy...
    If you are in the US then this link will help you...
