Completely appalled by Adobe

I have worked for a year to develop an app and published it to the Apple Store using InDesign and DPS. This week I created alternate layouts for Android. I have everything set up to publish to Google Play. When I went to publish it using DPS I found out that I can only publish to iOS, not Android. I have a Creative Cloud membership that costs $56 per month. I called Adobe. The sales guy just told me that to publish to Android I need an Enterprise Account and the cost is $40,000 per year! OMG I am one person developing apps. I don't even make $40,000 per year.
This means I need to cancel my subscription with Adobe and find another method to develop apps so I can try to earn a living.
I am appalled with Adobe. I have been using their products since 1986 and I will stop supporting their products. I won't even teach it anymore!
Can anyone please suggest other software platforms for me to look at to develop apps. I know some coding but don't really want to struggle with coding; I just want to use software that does the coding behind the scenes and packages it so I can upload to Apple and Google. Is there a program that will take my already developed portfolios and convert them to api files?
This decision by Adobe to stop supporting DPS Single User has changed my career and cost me thousands of dollars.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Deb:(

Read this thread The end of DPS Single Edition. All of the competing products and alternatives are discussed here.
You may also want to submit the request for a consultation form Adobe | Request for consultation for your specific needs. I think you can do better than $40K. Here is another thread that helps explain the new pricing What is going on with DPS?.

Can I skip "Complete Toning in Adobe Camera Raw"

I select some pictures in Lightroom and then choose Edit In -> Photoshop HDR Pro. If I choose 32 Bit, there is an option box for "Complete Toning in Adobe Camera Raw". If I do NOT check this box, am I losing something? That is, if I want to do all of the exposure adjustment, etc. in Lightroom, then can I just click "OK" with "Complete Toning in Adobe Camera Raw" unchecked?
Thanks,
David

No, not at all. This is the correct method for creating 32 bit images to edit in Lightroom. Just convert to 32 bit - leave Complete toning in ACR Unchecked and save the resulting 32 bit Tiff back into Lightroom

Adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

adobe pdf can not be completedly displaced by Adobe reader XI while it is inserted into a Excel2013(office 365) file

Sorry
should be “displaying”
Like when open a drawing pdf which is inserted into Excel(office 365) as an object, some lines, dimensions with remark can not be displayed and only few graph can be displayed.
But if the drawing is a separate PDF file, not inserted into Excel(office 365)as an object, the Adobe XI reader can always open it with all graphs, figures, texts, lines etc. smoothly.

Installation completes but no Adobe Air

Hello all,
I have a laptop running Windows 7.
I have an ongoing problem. I had been running the BBC iPlayer for well over 18 months on this laptop with no issues at all, but following an issue with the BBC iPlayer I uninstalled the iPlayer and managed (eventually) to uninstall Adobe AIR using the Perfect Uninstaller (this was my only option as every time I tried to remove it with the Uninstall a program option I ended up with the Admin error, and the Microsoft fix did not work).
Anyway, it removed Adobe AIR.
Now when I try to re-install Adobe AIR by either running the Adobe AIR installer direct from the website or by downloading it and running it from the desktop it completes and says Adobe AIR is installed. I can repeat the installation over and over again and they all complete successfully.
The files are placed in the c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\AdobeAIR\ folder. If I look at the AdobeAIR.dll file the size is 13.3MB but in the details tab the entries are all blank - no application, no version number, nothing.
As a result I cannot re-install the iPlayer. If i try and install from the BBC iPlayer Desktop install site that doesn't work either, it says it installs Adobe AIR but I don't get the familiar screen and nothging seems to be installed.
Is there any way I can complete a successful re-install of Adobe AIR?
Many thanks

I'd try two things, first Microsoft has just released a new utility that can help resolve installation problems. Install AIR, then start the MS Fix it, go through the uninstall process and try to remove Adobe AIR from your system. Once finished, download the latest version of AIR and install again.
Microsoft Install and Uninstall Fix It
If you still encounter problems, I'd uninstall AIR, create a new, temporary user account and try installing from there.
Hope this helps,
Chris

How do I sign, save, and close a completed from in Adobe Reader for iOS?

After completing a PDF form and emailing it from Adobe Reader for iOS, the recipient receives it as a form and can change it. How do I save the form in Adobe Reader for iOS before sending it as an email so that the recipient cannot update it further.
Thank you.

Thank you George. Are there any Apps you would recommend? I am looking for something where a PDF form can be completed, and perhaps annotated, and then flattened to email to be filed as a record.
Thanks.

I have completed the tutorial Adobe LR5 Classroom in a Book. I have a MacBook Pro. Every photo that I import from either my hard drive or the tutorial has red where white should be. What in the world am I doing?

I have installed LR5 on my MacBook Pro. I have completed a book that had online tutorials called Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Classroom in a Book. All of my photos that are in my tutorial and the ones that I have imported from my hard drive have red on them where white should be. I see this immediately when switching from Library to Develop before I do anything to the photo except import it. I would appreciate any tips!

You are seeing red because that is the color of the clipping indicator. It is indicating that the whites are being clipped. You can turn off the clipping indicator by clicking on the little square in the upper right-hand corner of the histogram. Or you can adjust your highlights, whites and exposure until the red disappears. If you see blue on your photos that is indicating that the shadows are being clipped, and that is controlled by the little square in the upper left-hand corner of the histogram.
As a side note, you can activate or deactivate both clipping indicators by simply pressing the J key while in the develop module.

Auto-Complete bugs in Adobe Reader X / Acrobat X

When I open a PDF that has fillable forms, and auto-complete is enabled, it does a terrible job of managing it's suggestions and how it handles my desire to 'type through' the suggestions that it's offering.
To test this, you'll need a PDF with multiple fillable form fields. it seems to have the hardest time with numerical data. Spend a couple minutes entering in a lot of numerical data into the fields. Delete some of it, put in different numbers, and eventually you'll see what I'm talking about. I suggest that, because in some cases I'm able to reproduce it immediately, and in others it takes a few tries or a few different PDFs. If you have typed in an address, say '1234 main', then in a later field, type in a zip code of '12345', then in yet another field start typing 12345 then hit the spacebar, it autofills "12345main". Note how 12345main does not match anything I previously entered, but the auto-complete database thinks that it does. The 'ain' part of "12345main" stays highlighted, like that's what it's now suggesting. If you backspace back so that it shows "12345" again, and then hit space, it will auto-fill to '12345main' again. I can't simply 'Type through' thie suggestion, because it leaves the 'm' there.
What's odd, is that for the sake of this demonstration, you type in multiple items that begin with 1234, then enter '1234 ' (note the space) on another field, it actually won't suggest to you the items you previously entered that begin with 1234 . Example: in 3 fields, type in 1234 Main St, 1234 Downtown Rd., and then in the 3rd field start type 1234 followed by space. You'd think you'd be offered suggestions by Auto-complete that contain both 1234 Main St. and 1234 Downtown Rd, but you don't. If you type something like '12345' now, you'll be back to the problem i outlined above where it automatically selects an item from the list and grabs an unwanted letter from the first word after the space. Interestingly enough, if you keep typing '1234 Ma' for example, you still don't see the Auto-complete suggestions unless you start hitting the 'Backspace' key, at which point the proper suggestions are displayed.
For our users that send out a lot of correspondence to clients, this is a huge inconvenience. The only workaround is to completely disable the Auto-complete option under 'Forms'. If they do not, then they can end up with incorrect information going out to cilents, and some of them have sent printed forms to cilents containing characters that didn't make sense or numerical data that was not correct because it had picked up unwanted characters from auto-complete.
Additional information:
I'm able to duplicate this problem on multiple workstations.
OS: Windows 7 32-bit Enterprise SP1, Windows XP 32-bit Professional SP3
I'm able to duplicate the problem with Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat X
The problem also occurs whether I select either 'Advanced' or 'Basic' for the Auto-Complete setting

Hello All,

I have created an editable form which cannot be saved as a completed copy by adobe reader users.

I have a created an editable form in indesign and acrobat, however when other users open up the form and fill it in they cannot save the completed copy. It comes up with that the user needs to click done signing, however there is no done signing button in adobe reader.

Unless they're using Reader XI then you have to first apply a special right in Acrobat that allows them to save the filled-in form in Reader.
The exact location of this command depends on your version of Acrobat.

Cannot save a completed copy of adobe forms

Hi experts,
i was developing a simple Adobe form with a drop down list. When saving that form on local system ad then opening it , I tried changing the valve in drop down list it gives me a pop-up as
"You cannot save the completed copy of this form on your computer."
is there any setting to be donw to the form.
thanks in advance,
Govind.

I guess you have already found the problem: you cannot save the file if your reader rights are down == your form has not been generated as interactive and no licence has been attached. Otto

I can't complete installation of Adobe Photoshop 11

I have been trying to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 & Premiere Elements 11 for several days with no success. My Photoshop installation is not completed & I can't seem to complete it. When I ask for help I get answers that are irrevelant. I found folders with thousands of my photo's from PE 4, but can't seem to access them as the installation of Photoshop 11 is incomplete. My Premiere Elements installation is completed in German which I don't speak. Wish I could talk to one of their so called experts but don't know how to contact one.

My suggestion, if I understand your predicament correctly, is to go to your programs list and completely unistall every version of elements that have on your computer, including the partially installed elements 11. It will not get rid of your pictures. Then, once all versions have been unistalled, try a brand new install with the CD, where it should allow you to chose the language at that time as well.

Cannot complete form using Adobe Reader - Mac OS X 10.6.8

I have been using Adobe Reader to complete forms for my Bank for more than 9 months without any problems. I'm using Adobe Reader 10.1.1 for Mac. I recently upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and this is the first time I've tried to use Adobe Reader since the upgrade. Today when I opened my form using Adobe Reader I cannot select and type in any of the text fields. Trying to click inside a text box simply seems to 'select' the entire page.
I checked online but could not find any compatibility issues. I'm hoping that I've overlooked something very simple that I should have done but have no idea what that could be.
I would be very grateful if someone could advise me what my problem might be.
Cheers
Tricia

Thanks for responding Ankit. No, I saved the form to a folder on my desktop and I open it using the Adobe Reader app. It has always worked without a problem before. I checked my husband's iMac (which has the same saved form on his Desktop). He is also running OS X 10.6.8. On his machine it opened without a hitch so I used his computer to fill in the form and print it out. Obviously, if it works on his computer and he's also using 10.6.8 it's not related to the upgrade.
I trashed my copy of Adobe Reader and have re-downloaded the app. Will install it and see whether it now works or if the problem persists. Will post back the results.'
Cheers

I cannot complete installation of Adobe Reader to Read PDF

I cannot complete the Adobe Reader Free installation to print or read documents, I get to the final install and the program does not install. it is in my downloads but I cannot finish the final steps? Help Please Jimbo4070

I'm sure that folks will be able to assist with getting Adobe Reader installed. However, I just wanted to first make sure that you realize that your Mac can natively view and print PDF file using the Preview application. Just double-click any PDF and it should open just fine.
Assuming that you already realize that, but still want Adobe's Reader, please post what happens when you run the installer that you have downloaded from the Adobe Reader page (http://get.adobe.com/reader/). Do you get a specific error message?
