Convert LiveCycle PDF to work in Preview-Mac OSX

I have a PDF form created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 9.0 and need it to be converted to open and work using a Mac. Mac's built in PDF viewer is Preview. When I open this PDF in "Preview", I get the “Please wait…” message. But in Acrobat Pro this PDF open fine. Please suggest how we can open this in application "Preview".

A lot of times I find this in my opinion to be the fault of the form developer, not the software folks. There are many folks who get a new package like AA X and decide it is best to redesign all of the forms with this software, forgetting that many folks use prior versions of Acrobat/Reader/other viewer. They then expect everyone else to keep up with them. This is also a reason to stay with AcroForms in many cases rather than move to Designer forms. I see this move by form designers to be more of a problem than the software itself. It may be that the form developers should have saved the form for backward compatibility and that is the issue you are having. In fact, you indicated early on that the college upgraded their forms and I consider this short-sighted on their part (maybe you should tell them). I try to encourage folks around here to keep compatibility several versions back. When they do not, there are often folks who can not use the new form!
So, it is partly a software issue and also short-sightedness on the part of the form developer. The latter can get around the problem and chose not to (or maybe doesn't know how).

Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...
But when I try and open a PDF created on a windows computer it says:
"Please wait...

I am not sure why where the PDF was created would make a difference but couldnt help but notice that was the difference between the PDF files that work and the ones that give that message. I can view the PDFs on a windows computer just fine and never had issues untill adobe, it seems to have messed up PDFs on my Mac and I am so frustrated with them. I have searched my computer for any remaining adobe files, deleted them and restarted my computer but I am still getting this message.

I own a license for Dreamweaver CS6 for Windows. I am thinking about buying a MAC. How can I convert my license to work on a MAC?

Is there a software update I can purchase to convert my license to work on a MAC? How much is it? Or are there any other options?

Depending on what Adobe considers "current software" you may or may not be able to perform a Platform Swap...
Order product | Platform, language swap
Since they do currently sell both the PC and Mac version of the CS6 Suite, I would guess they can do the swap. If not, moving to a CC Subscription does allow you to have the software installed on either or both platforms without issue.

Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,
Smokey

Which CS Master Suite Products CS2,3,4,5,5.5,6 work with which Mac OSx 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8?

You have no idea what a journey it has been to try to find the answer to all of this. Here is my stab which is open for input.
Which CS Master Suite Products CS2,3,4,5,5.5,6 work with which Mac OSx 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8?
- When I recently installed 10.6 on a 10.5 Macbook Pro with CS2 Master Suite, I lost all access to CS2. End of story. Unhappy ending at that.
- I have CS4 Master Suite on a MacPro using OS 10.6.8, but my understanding is that if I go to 10.7, I lose all access to CS4. Another bad solution.
- Apparently the same is true of CS5 and 5.5. If one goes to 10.7, you will no longer be able to use those programs.
- The only Master Suite that is 10.8 compatible is CS6. New price $2,599, or $999 upgrade from CS5 or 5.5.
32bit vs 64bit
And to look at 32 bit vs 64 bit briefly. My CS4 Master Suite for Mac has two 64 bit programs, Premiere and After Effects. The Windows version of the same program also included Photoshop as 64bit.
- I assume that as CS Suites went from CS4 to 5 to 5.5 and then to CS6, that more and more programs take advantage of the 64 bit architecture. I don't know the specifics however. Would like to know.
- Also the MacOS has done the same. The newer the operating systems, the more the system takes advantage of mulitple processors, ram, and 64 bit architecture. Again, not sure of the sweet spot here.
And then there was the cloud!
Not sure what to do with that information.
- Great, new products updates all the time
     - downside, what if the updates outgrow my computer? Size and technology?
     - What if the updates outgrow my system software?
     - What if I want to open a cs4 document 5 years from now?
          - do I have to subsribe forever?
          - if I have CS6 on my computer, do some work, and want to open it 10 years from now, I still have the software and a computer.
     - Cost of $30 a month on a special, but $50 a month normally. Sounds cheap month to month, but after two years of $50, I have spent $1,200 on a product that I don't own!
Anyway, all of this comes up because I have multiple versions of Master Suite. I have multiple computers with various versions, and it all goes to crap if I upgrade the system software, or Adobe no longer supports the older versions. This is my contribution to the discussion. Apparently Adobe support had no archived articles to answer any of my questions, they suggested I look online. Great help. As I say, I don't much trust Adobe as my business partner anymore. I think I will work my way towards CS6 and see how long that takes me with Apple system upgrades. I'm not sure what OS 10.9, and beyond may bring as it relates to Adobe products, but I do need to get past my old 32bit applications running on an 8 core machine with 32gig of ram.
Which brings up one final point. I have Imac with 4 gig ram, Macbook pro with 8gig of ram, and MacPro with 32 gig ram. Will 4 gig ram run Cloud CS master suite? Its a worm hole that just keeps getting deeper! I have to find a place on that slope that is cost effective and allows me to hold my position for a few years until I can see how Adobe treats its cloud cutomers, and how well Adobe and Apple play together.
If you have any links to addtional information about various CS programs and which are ported to 64 bit, that would be helpful. I read some things about Rosetta and Java being the culprits in various upgrades to CS programs and the new Mac OS systems.
Also, if you have any work arounds to get CS5.5 to run on OS 10.7 or 10.8, curious to hear about those as well. As I understand it, 10.8 no longer includes the previous Java or Rosetta applications, but I was under the impression that they could be installed after.

Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

How do I un-encrypte a pdf file to work on Preview?
I am prompted to get the adobe reader but i don't see why but then found that the file was encrypted with adobe.
Is there a way to do this or do i have to download adobe?

Hello Flobel,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I know you are already well aware of this, but it might not be a good idea to start investing in some sort of an upgrade at least to Leopard. Nothing wrong with still running Tiger though. I think that's pretty cool.
Here is a link to a download for iTunes 9. Should work for you.

Save as PDF not working - in Preview only

I am trying to password protect a PDF file so I can email it, and tried to use the "Save As PDF" option in File>Print (in Preview) so I could add a password in the Security Options window. However, when I do this, nothing seems to happen (the application kind of freezes for about 10 seconds or so, and then it's back to the same print screen). I tested out whether the Save as PDF option worked in other applications (Word, Excel, Safari) and it works fine. Only Preview seems to be a problem - which is an issue if I want to password protect docs that are already PDF. Any suggestions? I'm running on OSX 10.8.2 on a MBP from early 2011. Thanks in advance.

Preview Livecycle PDf in Windows 7 Preview Pane

Is there a way to preview Livecycle PDF's in the Windows 7 Preview Pane?

Hi,
when you save an XFA form as PDF, it creates a shell PDF that surrounds the complete XFA contents.
This shell PDF itself is a simple one page PDF with a message for the users if the PDF viewer wasn't able to read the XFA contents.
This message looks this way.
In the Windows Explorer you will only see this message in the preview, because it dosn't support XFA.

Printing pdf with Adobe 10 and Mac OSX

After downloading Adobe Reader 10.0.0 I cannot print pdf files on my Canon MP620 printer. Snow Leopard Mac OSX 10.6.6 is my operating system Error message comes up "pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err. number 13". Can anyone help please?

After dealing with this problem for a whole day, this finally solved the problem. Not sure if it will work for everyone or if I just got lucky. Either way...
I threw out all Acrobat preferences (8 and 9). I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9. Opened Acrobat Pro 8 and printed the files. I then re-installed Pro 9 and with both 8 and 9 open, I was able to print. Now Pro 9 works fine (without having 8 open) Not sure why this worked, since re-installing Acrobat Pro 9 alone didn't fix the problem.
Hopefully this might work for someone else too.

I keep getting messages to upgrade to FireFox 4, and it will not open on my Mac OSX 10.4.11. I get messages that the 3.6.17 version is not secure.

Firefox 3.6.x versions are still updated with security patches (Firefox 3.6.18 is due in about two weeks).
You are unfortunately out of luck with an Intel Mac and OS X 10.4.11.<br />
There is a compatible version from for a PowerPC Mac, but no alternative for an Intel Mac.
