Create new PDF - settings button grayed out?

I have a user who is trying to create a PDF in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 and she is reporting that the Settings button is grayed out. She does not have administrator rights to her PC. I removed and re-installed Acrobat using my administrator account and that did not fix the issue. Has anyone seen this issue before and found a fix?
Thanks!

We figured it out: where it has the "files of type", the default is "All Supported Formats" you have to specifically choose Excel file and the settings button is not grayed out.

Create New Film Roll feature grayed out

The "Create New Film Roll" feature is no longer available. It is continuously grayed out. Has anyone experienced this before? And if so, how did you correct the problem?

YESSSSSS! Making sure that all the year folders were checked seemed to do the trick. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
Good luck...

PDF Settings button disabled

Trying to created Printed Documentation in RH9, but the "PDF Settings" button is disabled on the Print Document General - Printed Documentation window (I removed the client info)
I can't figure out why I can't access this button. Anyone else run into this?

You've put me on the right track, Peter. When I first ran setup.exe in the "Adobe PDF Creation Add-On 10" folder, there was this message:
     This application cannot be installed on this operating system. Setup will now terminate. Please refer to the minimum
     system requirements at http://www.adobe.com/go/acrobat_system_reqs.
I then installed Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and ran setup.exe again:
     Adobe PDF Creation Add-On X cannot be installed on its own. Please initiate the installation through the product which shipped
     Adobe PDF Creation Add-On X
I then uninstalled and reinstalled RoboHelp 9 (trial download) again. During the installation process, I could see that the PDF Add-on was being installed.
And, indeed, the Adobe PDF printer driver is now visible in Control Panel > Printers and the "PDF Settings" button is finally enabled.
Many thanks for your help, Peter !!!

Preserve Users and Network Settings is grayed out

Hi, I was having some issues with my Mac so I decided to perform an archive and install. I currently have Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I popped in the disk but when I got to choosing install options, "Preserve Users and Network Settings" is grayed out. I want to keep all my data as it was and just reinstall Snow Leopard. Does this option appear later on in the installation? Is there a way to go back? It's currently installing Snow Leopard. Please help

Your Home folder may be in the Previous System Folder. Check to see if it's there and intact. Otherwise it's been moved into the new system. You need to make a backup of your Home folder on an external drive.
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the installation. In the Setup Assistant be sure to use a different username/shortname for the new admin account than you used before.
5. Upon completion use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder to migrate your Home folder from the external backup drive.

Address Book "Edit" button grayed out...unable to edit

Had to edit a contact's info and was surprised to find the Edit button grayed out, not allowing me to click it. Repairing permissions has not helped.

V.K., thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, before I got to try it, I re-launched Address Book one more time and found it will no longer launch. Its Dock icon just keeps bouncing. Not only that, but I've also found that iCal and Mail will no longer launch, either. The iCal calendar pane and the Mail main window open, but the beach ball spins forever. I've never seen this before. Any ideas?
I tried a different account on the same computer. No problems there.

Artwork Button Grayed-Out

I have some MP3s of an unknown sample rate and different bit depths. I would like to add artwork to these files, but iTunes has the artwork button grayed-out. I can convert the MP3s to AAC, but the quality will suffer, and I don't have the original uncompressed audio to start with.
Is there a solution to this?
Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.7) 3 GB RAM

If you do a Get Info on the MP3 in iTunes and select the Artwork tab can you add there?
If you Ctrl Click the track in iTunes and Show in Finder then do another Get Info are the permissions set correctly?

Colin R.

Join Button Grayed Out

My iPad connects with no problem at home on my Time Capsule and Airport Extreme Routers. At my office, I can't even find out if it will connect or not, because when I select the network to join it, as soon as I type in a password, the JOIN button grays out making it impossible to connect. On hold now with Apple for 20 minutes and they are scratching their heads. Not a good sign for a device I am otherwise crazy about. Anyone else got this issue? For what its worth, its a Linksys Router at the office.

Oh heck, nevermind. Turns out I was entering the wrong password. DOH! Nothing to see here, move along.

Data source active/inactive button grayed out in LBWE

Hello,
When I was activating the Logistics datasource in LBWE, my data source status became red and the Active/Inactive button grayed out? how can I make this data source active again?
Thanks,
KK

Hi Kumar,
The status will become Red and Active/Inactive is disable due to Extract structure activated but data source is not maintained. This happens once you change the extract structure to Include additional fields. Please do the below step:
in LBWE, Click on Data source (Technical name of your data source beside maintainance) and you will get maintainance screen, change if you want some thing or else leave as it is and save, Now the status for data source in LBWE will become yellow and activate/deactivate will enable.
Regards,
Kams

Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)

Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)
The Journal Batch Approval notification goes to one or more approvers but when any approver opens the journal and tries to approve, the approve batch button is greyed out and nobody can approve the Journal batch. The approver has every authority amount and other wise.
Any idea what might be wrong? Do I need to setup something in Preference pages etc.,?
Thanks for your help.

Are you looking at the Workflow Notifications page or GL page. Please give me the navigation used to reach the page. Typically in workflow notification details page, the Response buttons are either displayed or hidden based on whether the notification has a Result Type attached or not. I don't think they are greyed out based on any rule.
Workflow notifications does not check the approval authority by itself. Ann appropriate workflow notification with right content and result type should be sent based on the approval authority checked in a previous function activity.
Thanks

Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?

Unable to rotate raw images in bridge, rotate buttons grayed out?
Bridge 5.0.2.4.

There is an ignore EXIF setting Preferences. I can't remember if that is Bridge or Photoshop, but IIRC it is for DNG files.
Right. Check Photosho > Preferences > File handling and make sure 'Ignore EXIF tag, is not checked. I think that might do it, so long as it refers to sidecare files, because only RAW files would have one.

I-phone 4s Cannot connect to wi-fi. The settings have grayed out!

I have updated to IOS 6.0.1. more or less one month now and everything worked fine up until today that I tried to connect to my wi-fi from home. At first it could not find any wireless network. I switched on and of the router and then even turned of and on with no result.
I tried to connect from my laptop to find out if something is wrong with my network connection, apparently everything is working well.
I tried again to switch on the wi-fi settings but this time the settings have grayed out!!!
As I can see a lot of people face the same problem so I can imagine that there is a general problem and its not my device...
Please fix it!!!
Thank you in advance...

Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint. I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason. The error says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. How do I fix this?

Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.
