Cursor jumping, PDF error message, software crashes

I'm using a MacBook Pro, which is only a few months old.
Often when I use my touch pad, my cursor jumps across the screen to one of the icons on the dock and opens it. How can I fix this?
I'm also having problems with some of my programs crashing. Is this likely to be an issue with the progam or with my computer?
Last question!... Since recently, suddently I'm getting an error message every time I try and save a PDF that's been downloaded from the internet. The message says "The document x.pdf could not be exported as x.pdf". Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You can't directly open a Pages (or Word) document and Excel and, its equivelent Macintosh program in Acrobat. That's true. In OSX.5.8 and lower and 9.2 and lower you can go to print menu and choose AdobePDF and print a PDF. Or simply use the Mac's PDF button in Print menu. Or Most programs will allow you to save as Post script by going through the print menu click on PDF button and choose create Postscript from PDF (I know it sounds stupid but that what Apple has it listed as. ) Then Drop the PS File on Distiller. or open with distiller.
ON OSX.6.x (Snow Leopard) all bets are off.
you need to read this link.
Note: to make sure that everything goes smooth locate Automator select, do get info (Command key-I) and change from 64 bit to 32 bit. Its seems based on info from Acrobat the automator action for Create adobe quality PDF Automator action

Cursor jumping / PDF errors / Software crashes

Greetings!
I have three unrelated questions that someone can hopefully help me with.
1. I use the touch pad (not a mouse) and every now and again when I'm using it the cursor suddenly jumps from the desktop to an icon on the dock, opening the program. Has anyone had this before and can it be fixed? It's rather annoying.
2. Since recently, every time I try and save a PDF from the internet I get the error message: "The document x could not be exported as x'. I can download the PDF, but it won't save to my computer. Any suggestions?
3. Finally, I've had some problems with certain programs crashing. It happens when I use Word and the software Smart Notebook rarely opens without crashing several times. Is this a problem with my computer or more likely the software?
Thank you!

Hi John Diefenbach,
I would like to know that Does Reader Software crashes while opening regular PDF's too ( that doesn't involve forms)?
Did you tried disabling the protected mode in Adobe Reader ? Here's a Link that depicts the steps to disable Protected Mode - Reader Help | Protected mode (Windows).
P.S. - I would recommend you to not use Hard Restart option ( Pressing Power Button) unless your computer is completely 'unresponsive' , because it might lead to system instability and might corrupt your installed programs.
Please let me know if the above KB Link fixes your problem.

I'M TRYING TO UPDATE TO IOS 6 BUT I KEEP GETTING ERROR MESSAGE sOFTWARE UPDATE fAILED: AN ERROR OCCURRED DOWNLOADING IOS 6

I Tried for three days to download iOS 6 and kept getting error 1403. I finally went to the apple store and they couldn't figure it out either.
I finally got it to download and all I did different from the other 100 times was I went into settings and on the Bluetooth setting I put NO. Not sure if that's what did it but that was the only thing different that I did.

FF 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links, after clicking on "open pdf" error message says file not supported or damaged. IE opens file all right. Please advice.

Firefox 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links after clicking on "open pdf". I frequently need to do literature searches and I need to view pdf files in the browser. After clicking on the pdf - link of a file the main options are to open or download the pdf. Every time I try to open a pdf-file a blank page and an error message appears saying the file would not be supported or is damaged. IE, however, opens the file all right. I tried various changes in the security and cookie settings without success. Please advice.

Hi SGckc,
This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
Thank you for contacting us!

My project gets an error message and crashes everytime I go to render or preview on AE

I have recently starting using AE on my computer, every now and then its struggled to work but I haven't had any major issues until now.
When I try to render or preview my project I've had an error message pop up saying:
"After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Shatter".
then followed by a second message
"After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was <6492> <getdepthpinflags> <5> 32:32 bit
and finally
"After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See http://www.adobe.com/support/products/aftereffects.html for known issues. If you still can't resolve this issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).
it then asks me to save and crashes.
I think it may be to do with my computer specs as it does struggle at times in other areas on AE
can someone tell me if i need to buy something like a new graphics card or something?
I don't have any knowledge when it comes to computer specs so heres a link to all the specifications for my computer: HP Support document - HP Support Center
please help me! need to have this project finished so if I need to buy something new for the computer i need to buy it straight away
thanks

How much ram do you have installed? Which OS? Your link to specs provides no details for your system.
What version of AE are you using down to the last decimal point?
We need to know something about your project. The kind of footage used, the size of the comp you are trying to render, the render settings are all critical information.

InDesign 6: When exporting to PDF - error message fix a pixels/picas

InDesign 6: When exporting to PDF - get error message to go into Preferences and fix a pixels/picas issue - I've been working in the same project for two days and exporting pages all along without this trouble - just started all of a sudden. Haven't changed any settings... How can I fix this?

Title tool VideoFrameFactory error message and crashing

I have located a few mentions of this error among other users, but no Adobe response and no clear solution. In PP CS6, I am now getting a an error message every time I open the title tool: ../../src/VideoFrameFactory.cpp-78. About half the time it also crashes. Frustrated! I am trying to complete a two minute video and this portion is taking hours as I keep needing to open up the title tool related panels and to re-start the computer. Please help if you can.

I too have been having the same issue for weeks now.
I'm using Premiere CS6 6.0.3 creative cloud. VideoFrameFactory.cpp-78
Whenever I open a title, or make a new title, I receive the error.    Then I can do one of 2 things...
1. I can close the title, it will save, and then I can exit Premiere and restart Premiere. Upon opening a title, I will get the error message again.
2. I can open another Title (instead of closing Premiere). I will then get the same error message (videoframefactory.cpp-8), but then Premiere will crash. This is 100% occurance rate... If I receive the error, and I dont want premiere to crash, I must exit before opening another title.
I have seen this posted since 2010. Any chance of a fix? I tried various other leads... such as font re-installs, and deleting a WorkspaceConfig file. No luck with either of these.   Also tried a few iterations of Nvidia drivers, uninstall and reinstalls.
Any chance of some assistance? Has anyone else found a fix?   Every day I use the creative cloud, it feels more and more like I'm paying a monthly fee to be a beta tester...

Premiere Elements 13 error message ' software appears to be counteerfeit'

I bought the 64 bit Premiere Elements 13 from the official Adobe site yesterday but on installation an error message came up saying 'adobe genuine software verification failure...appears to be counterfeit' Unlike similar issues on other parts of these forums this error message does not contain any link to help fix the issue, it just says exactly that. The system = Windows 8, 64 bit. Any solutions gratefully received.

HELP!! PLEASE!! exporting pages to pdf error message

How do I export my pages 09 document to pdf? I keep getting an error message
"The selected file or location (directory or drive) is read-only."
I haven't had this problem before and have an urgent deadline in 30 minutes when this happens.
Any help would be appreciated

Pattypepper,
You need to change the permissions on the folder you're trying to export it into. Do this:
1. Go to the folder in your finder
2. Right click the folder and a window opens with different options to choose from. Choose "Get Info"
3. Another window opens with all the info about that file. On the bottom, you will see 'sharing and permissions' with a list of names and permissions
4. Choose your name and click the little up and down arrow until you see 'read and write'. That's what you want in order to work on that folder.
If the problem wasn't the destination folder, then do the same thing for the actual document file.
Hope you got this in time for your (extended?) deadline!

Iweb 08: adobe flash player error messages and crashing when saving

Hi.   I switched not too long ago from an 08 Imac to a mid 2011 with Mountain Lion.    I brought the applications I could from the other computer, including Iweb 08.
today was the first time I tried to tweak my site with it. I opened the old file on the new computer using this method:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Transfer_Site.html
All seemed well at first. Then I got a slew of error messages to the effect of "Adobe® Flash® Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network: blah blah is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled loaction: blah blah blah".
My site is used to display my work in the video production field, so it's related to the various players/videos embedded.
In addition, when I tried to save after opening that first time, and any time, since, it crashes during the save.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Here're two of the pages on my site that were making iweb go nuts:
http://videoproduction.joshbass.com/Videoproduction-_ENG_Interviews.html
http://videoproduction.joshbass.com/Videoproduction-_Commercial.html
Thanks.

Whether or not you use iWeb, you may be aware that things have changed. Since you're a professional, I assume the trade must have talked about it.
I'm not a professional, but I have read about it for the past few years.
Adobe Flash is on it's way out. Especially on Mobile devices, such as my iPad, where your movies do not display.
Here's how I do it.
It started with this in Flash :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/rolando/
Then made this with the <embed> code 4 years ago :
http://www.wyodor.net/Tutorials/ImageWidget/ClickMovie.html
And in a similar style, made for iPad :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/cultureclub/Movies.html
Then HTML5 came along and made a sample with custom code to explain it :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/HTML5Video.html
And with code from the Interwebs :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/HTML5_Zencoder.html
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/
And regarding the Adobe messages? It's not particular to your situation. It's a warning that you try to use Flash outside the protected area of a website.
You can either ignore it, or prevent it by making separate webpages for each flash video and then display them with an iframe in the HTML Snippet. The HTML5 demos above do that.
So the magic word is : Educate.

Convert pagemaker file to PDF error message

I have a pagemaker file created in Pagemaker 7 which I own. I want to save it as a PDF file. when i select export and then Adobe PDF I get an error message : "cannot register Plug in. Please reinstall the plus in component" I have my PM7 disc.Does this mean I will have to reinstall the entie program?

It stinks that they stop supporting it.
The last version of PM was July 2001, all development stopped in 2004 and all support ceased in August 2010.
After InDesign (Pagemaker 8?) came on stream in around 2000, there were several years of heavily discounted upgrades for PM users.
So it's not as if it's just happened.

Premiere Pro CC error message and crash

Hi All,
I am in the middle of a project and on a tight deadline. I have Premiere Pro CC and have tried the phone line for help. However, after 90 minutes on hold, I gave up and thought I'd try here.
So I have a project that was loading fine yesterday. I shut PP down last night and all was good. Today I tried to open the project and it gave me an error message that read;
[/morereel64/releases/2013.09/shared/adobe/MediaCore/MediaLayer/ImporterHost/Make/Mac/../. ./Src/Audio/AudioWaveform.cpp-173]
After that, I click "Continue" and it then tells me "Sorry, a serious error has occured..."
I have tried uninstalling All Adobe Apps, using Cloud Cleaner, deleting my preferences, creating a new project and importing the old one in, exporting an XML to reimport... Nothing is working. And now I'm panicking!
Please can someone help? Please?
I'm kinda going out of my mind...
Thanks

New projects don't seem to have this problem with 7.2, but I have a critically important older project that I can't seem to make work even after deleting Media files and letting them rebuild. I also tried importing the old project into a new one. I sent it to speedgrade then saved it as the premiere project... and as soon as I open the premiere project... there it is again. It freezes... needs to be closed, and then the project is corrupted and unuseable. I spent a few hours with an Adobe Tech controlling my computer... until we ended up with the Blue Screen of Death. I really need some answers on this.. at LEAST how to salvage a good timeline from this project and make it work with SpeedGrade. This is a feature length documentary that is very large. The project is shot in 4K, but I'm editing with HD proxy footage for all except a couple of shots that I'm using the 4k Footage. MOST of the footage on the timeline is MPEG2 from a Sony F55. Some is from a Canon 1D.... and as I said.. a couple of shots are Sony XAVC 4K. HELP!

I'm not an expert per say but this could be a Windows corrupted hard disk fault.
Perform System Backup!!!
Empty re-cycle bins
Delete Temporary files
Run disk check
Defrag hard disc
reboot
Defrag hard disc
Rationale
A page fault is either memory or memory being paged to hard disk. An error in allocation raises this issue. I have seen it most often when the hard disk is heavily fragmented and or mis-allocation of hard disk space as a result of the aforementioned and Microsoft Word leaves temporary files around that have caused these kinds of issues.
There is a smaller possiblity that you have faulty memory but that's much less likely I would think.
Run a load of apps like Notepad with BIG files in them to cause the system to fill up and page to disk
then see if you get the same issue.
