Fear of Reader 8 backward incompatibility

Hi, I´ve been using Adobe Reader 7.0.9 (spanish) without trouble. The PC has XP pro, pentium D, 1 gb, 80 gb.
I want to try Reader 8.1.2 but when I look for my current Adobe Reader updates it only comes with updates for 7.0.9. Is it possible to install 8.1.2 in an independent work folder so I could have both versions (7 and 8)in order to try the new one while keeping the one that I know works fine? I tried to download the 8 version but the procedure did not give me the option of choosing the folder.
Thanks ahead.
Enrique

We have a document posted at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/designer8_lc72.html that describes how Designer 8 should work with LiveCycle 7. Anything not in this document should be thought of as a bug and should be reported here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
With that said, we will change JavaScript behavior that we determine to be security risks.
Thanks,
Mark

Digital persona(fingerprint reader) extension is incompatable with firefox 4.0b7 and many more extension which is working in firefox 3.6 is not compatable with this version

Current version of firefox shows "Digital persona(fingerprint reader) extension is incompatable with firefox 4.0b7" and many more extension which is working in firefox 3.6 also not compatable with this version what should we do because this extensions are very useful for me in my laptop

I got this reply from DigitalPersona:
"DigitalPersona made the decision late last Spring, to discontinue the Personal products. There will be no further revisions."

AR8.1.1 Backwards Incompatibility

With AR8.1.1 it appears that it is no longer possible to set
a field's display property in a page-open (/PO) event. I've
put together a minimal example that shows the difference
in behaviour between AR7.x and the new AR8, see:
http://www.amrita-ebook.org/4adobe/page-open/test1.pdf
I understand that JS security is handled differently in
AR8 than in AR7, but as the restriction on the /PO event
is not reported in the latest JavaScript api reference,
I'm left wondering: is the behaviour shown by test1.pdf
an undocumented feature or a bug?
James Quirk

Ashutosh,
The example I gave:
http://www.amrita-ebook.org/4adobe/page-open/test1.pdf
illustrates the basic problem, although I neglected
to say that I'm running Linux, SUSE 10.1 .
The test page is self-contained and should help
you pin-point the backwards incompatibility.
Specifically:
With AR <= 7 the JS fragment
f = getField(name)
f.display = display.hidden
f.display = display.true
can be used in a non-forms enable PDF document.
But with AR8 the fragment fails when run in a
page-open /PO event, unless the PDF is forms-enabled.
But the fragment works in a non-forms enabled PDF
for all the other events: mouse down, mouse up, mouse enter,
mouse exit etc. .
Regarding workflow, since AR4 I've been developing
the machinery to produce scientific documents
that exploit PDF's /Widget annotations to provide
features such as interactive walk-through listings,
animations, embedded examples etc. For details see:
http://www.amrita-ebook/doc
So my concern is that with the change from AR7 to AR8,
and the tightening of AR's behaviour regarding
forms-rights, what will happen further down the road?
Will it suddenly be that basic field manipulation
will not work at all, unless a document is forms enabled?
If so, that will break an awful lot of existing documents
and not just the ones I produce. On the other hand
if the status quo is to be maintained then flagging
an error just for the /PO event, and not for /U, /D, /Bl, /Fo,
/E, /X seems inconsistent. In any event it would be
nice to have the situation clarified.
Thanks for your response,
James

Reader 5.0 incompatibility

I have Windows 7, have downloaded Reader 5.0 but found they are not compatible. Currenty I cannot open PDFs. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

Adobe Reader 5.0 was released early 2001 - that was half a year before Windows XP! Why your bank believes that you need such an old piece of software is incomprehensible.
Anyway, all Reader versions are backwards compatible; you should be able to view old PDF versions with the latest Adobe Reader.

Reading files backward

Hi
I have a lot of data files of different sizes in the last few lines are
a description of the file. Is there a way to read a file backwards so
that I don't have to read the whole file just to use the last few lines?
Thanks

There will be a straightforward solution if the file description section is
always a fixed length, or if there is a fixed upper limit on the length and
some clear way to identify where the description begins.
- If the description section is a fixed length N (number of bytes):
1. Use the File/Directory Info VI from the File>>Advanced palette to get
the overall size of your file, F
2. Use the Read File VI, specify an offset of (F-N)+1 and a count of N, and
you've got your info section
- If the description section is not
fixed in size, but will never be longer
than L bytes:
1. Do the same thing as above, using L as your description length
2. Use the Match Pattern VI (String palette) with whatever identifier
begins your description section to parse out just the description

Development App reading backward on iPad

Hello,
I have created a Folio in Indesign CS6, made up of 8 different articles (ie 8 different Indesign files). I have added these articles to the Folio in the order that I wish them to appear. (I am using Viewer Version 26)
I then went through the "Create App" process with Adobe App Builder, however I have found the Demonstration version that I downloaded to my iPad for testing is reading completely backward. Funnily enough, the Chapter list on the iPad is in the correct order, but the pages themselves are completely back-to-front. Is there something I could have done wrong in the building process to cause this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Did you select right edge binding when you created the folio?

How can I Read lines of data from a file starting at the end of the file??

Can anyone help me with how to read lines of data starting from the end of a file instead of the beginning?? I do not want to load the entire file into memory as the files are very rather large. Instead I want to start at the end of the file and read lines backward , until I find the particular data item i am searching for, then stop.
Can this be done in Java ? I know it can be done in Perl.
Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestion about the RandomAccessFile, I did actually thought about that approach , but wasn't sure it would work.
I do not want to read the file in a sequential forward manner because the files contain large number of lines of data that have already been processed and therefore there is no need to reprocess these lines of data.
The Unprocessed lines are always at the the end of the file and these are the data lines I am interesting in getting at without having to read the entire file. Therefore, i figure that if I can read the data from the end of the file then this would be much more efficient.

Book is Backwards in ibooks.

I just opened a book in ibooks and it is backwards. Where it normally would start is the end and where the end would be is the start. It was liked it was scanned in reverse. Is there a way to flip it around so I don't have to read it backwards.

I'm having this problem too. I'm designing an ebook for a client using InDesign's export option, and when I tested the epub in ibooks it reads in reverse, meaning the last page is what would be the first, and the second to last page would be the second, and so forth. It still starts on the first page, but when you swipe the pages it goes backwards, moving left instead of right.
The epub reads fine on other readers like Calibre, Readium, Sigil, Magic Scroll, etc.
It does this on all my devices (iPad Air, MacBook, iPhone 6).

HT4061 hello im fation mashi im from albania i have a iphone 3 and i want to update it with ios 4.3.3 but i have fear because maybe can block the apple if i update it can you please help me ?

hello im fation mashi im from albania i have a iphone 3 and i want to update it with ios 4.3.3 but i have fear because maybe can block the apple if i update it can you please help me ?

Since an iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1...the end of the line for that model iPhone...you can't do what you want, so there's nothing to be fearful of.

Windows surface tablet. cannot open documents in reader

the new software will not install. i downloaded the new app,but i cannot close the dialogue page requesring i install the new 9.0 software. cannot get past thatage to view documents. help!

Ah. I get it now. The screen capture did help a lot! The PDF document that you are trying to open is called a "PDF portfolio", which is sort of like a package of multiple files. The particular PDF portfolio was originally created with Acrobat 9. So that's why it says "Acrobat or Adobe Reader 9, or later".
But if your operating system is Windows RT, you will not be able to download and install the desktop version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader due to incompatibility. So the button/link is useless.
Can you at least bring up the top & bottom toolbars by swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen or right-click with a mouse? Then, you can tap/click the Back arrow button in the top toolbar to close the document. So you are not completely stuck.
Unfortunately, because Adobe Reader Touch does not support PDF portfolios, it cannot show the actual contents inside the portfolio. It only shows the "cover page". PDF portfolios are not so common lately. So I do not believe that you will encounter the same problem with different PDF documents too often.
To view the PDF portfolio, you can use Adobe Reader for iOS/Android or Adobe Reader XI on a Windows desktop/laptop running the Windows 8 operating system, instead.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Compressing: iMovie to CD to multi-platform Adobe Reader...

Any clear current codec/compression-app winners when it comes to creating QuickTime movies in iMovie for multi-platform distribution on CD? These will be viewed within Adobe Reader, and I AM aware of the Reader 7/QT7 incompatibility (wish somebody would fix it!) Greatly appreciate any comments, links, whatever... Thanks!
dc

I don't question your obviously profound knowledge concerning the usage of .pdf files for distributing multimedia content via CD...
... but to add:
... when it comes to creating QuickTime movies in iMovie for multi-platform distribution on CD... ... not EVERY platform supports Quicktime.., to my knowledge TWO do so...
... video format is QT... Quicktime is NOT a video-format, it is a wrapper or "container", throwing a short view over this list let me estimate, QT is 30% "video"...
... QT7 works in R6... QT7 for windows doesn't support h.264... as an example. so, "codec"/settings can result in trouble.
last question:
why do you post a question about encoding in an edit-app forum?
you should better try here or here.....
happy landing...

I got a new macbook pro and am having a great deal of trouble with it from the start! But other than that, which I will get to, I have had macs since the one following Lisa and I am a diehard apple fan, yet now with the macbook pro and Lion and its

I could not download the upgrade to the mountain lion. my updates were taking an enormous amount of time for other programs. When I finally got the indication it was waiting to be downloaded I had to shut down. It was after 2 am and I was practically unconscious already with all the trauma of trying to find the right place for the redeem of the code to open the password. It was all confusing and poorly communicated by Apple. The terrible deterioration of Apple's written communications by non-American techies who can't write for easy understanding, even by this old time tech afficianado is heart-breaking and frustrating is putting the effects mildly. I have not yet gone back to the mac book pro to finish the job. I am too frustrated and unhappy with the new system. Also, I found out the hard way that my time capsule saved files on the macbook Snow Leopard, which still works fine after 6 years of use, is locked in that external drive and I cannot transfer the items except one by one or by folders on that computer to a DVD or to a flash drive, to mport to this new computer. Because the systems are not the same, I can't access the files automatically. I fear I will have further problems with the mountain lion vs. lion in seeing those files. What can I do? What should I do? I am afraid to designate an external hard drive I purchased with the new laptop for the time capsule because then it won't work with any other computer. I read of terrible incompatibility issues and crashes and things not working right once Mountain Lion was installed and now I am terrified they will happen to me. I just wanted the computer to be as easy to use as all the other macs I have and have had and now it is more like a horribly complicated and difficult Microsoft IBM compatible PC. I hate this. Perhaps Apple wanted to appeal to new Apple users and tried to make them comfortable while disregarding the comfort of loyal Apple users? It's a sell-out. Meanwhile, I have to get senior tech people because the kids who try to answer my questions much of the time don't interpret what i am telling them and it takes a pro. Perhaps the kids can answer what I should do in preferenced to scroll the screen, since the scroll indicators disappear and I can't see them and have to resort to using the arrows on the keyboard, which is not the way I like to work. Please advise me about all of these things!

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

PI7.1 JMS Adapter - connect to NW6.40

Hello,
We are facing following problem on SAP PI:
We have a scenario where PI (version 7.1) is connecting to another SAP NetWeaver system (version 6.40). There is an application that reads/puts messages from/to JMS Queues running on this system. PI has to connect the JMS Provider of 6.40 system and read/put these messages from/to these JMS Queues.
This scenario worked fine till we used XI 3.0 (NW6.40). We configured sender JMS channel with link to remote JMS Server and parameter "force_remote".
After installation of new PI7.1 we noticed some issues:
1.the connection is unstable. Sending JMS messages from PI to NW6.40 queue works a while but then we get error like this:
Adapter Framework caught exception: Unable to write new JMS message body for message: 00237d29-13fc-02ed-ba85-01d046631592: ConnectorException: Connector for ConnectionProfile of channel: EON_CC_jms_rcv_omsmessageon node: 922834950 having object id: 70855b1c6c483e869982ea2fe9787b36 was unable to create a new javax.jms.TextMessage message: javax.jms.IllegalStateException: Session is closed.
2. we cannot read messages from JMS Queue of NW6.40 at all. The messages are there in queue, communication channel is running and succesfully connected to queue but no message is processed and no error shows in communication channel monitoring.
Has anybody solve similar problem with connection between 7.1 and 6.40 NetWeaver?
I think the problem can be backward incompatibility of 7.1 SAP JMS libraries against 6.40. If this is true then the question is whether it is possible to deploy old libraries and run them simultaneously with native 7.1 libraries?
Thanks

problem sorted - factory property settings were not configured correctly in JMS Adapter connection pool

Thinking of ditching BT Vision

Ok, been a love hate relationship with the BT vision box, reboots lockups and remotes locking up as well. However a reset fixes most of these. However went to try and watch some catch up TV on the ITV player and it was woefull my program was not there also 4oD had missing programs which were all to see via the laptop. So is this just a BT vision limitation or not of there doing. Quite frankly its a poor show.
Now another limitation in all of this is the recording and watching TV at the same time, its limited to two channels, my last PVR I could record on two and watch a third. Its taking me a year to notice alot of the limitations but fear things will be backward on this format and thus looking to move to Youview. Is it any better ? I have TV essentials for the Eurosport channels in all honesty along with BT sport in HD, now I would not be averse to taking on the HD bolt on for £3 to get all the extra channels in HD. IS this all possible on Youview ? Not interested in SKY etc which I believe is not an option with youview anyway. In summary am i wasting more money or are there better options, is the Youview box a better beast ? Quite like the fact that you can access it remotely via an app as well.

yer my PVR was a Humax it also had is faults but was not a bad machine. In hindsight I should of waited last year but rushed into getting the vision + box and Eurosport for the Cycling Don`t think this was an option on Youview at the time. Going to contact BT as just did the upgrade TV thing and they want £199 for the new Youview box!!

InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS3

I work at a weekly newspaper, and we have been using and InDesign/InCopy workflow for several years. The Reporters use InDesign CS2 (never did get around to installing the CS3 upgrades we bought because at first the computers they use wouldn't handle it, and after the computer upgrades got done all around, no one ever bothered). After the stories are written, the editor reviews them in InCopy, then releases them to the page designers who are now working in InDesign CS3 as part of Standard and Premium Suites.
We are considering upgrading to InDesign CS5, but absolutely NONE of the reporters or the editor needs (or will ever use) the listed improvements included in InCopy CS5. Since there are nine InCopy products in the office, and as everyone knows the economy sucks - especially for PRINTED NEWSPAPERS these days, we really hate to have to upgrade just for upgrades sake.
I have downloaded InDesign CS5 trial to check if our CS3 files will open and work in it, after reading an article published in the Washington Newspaper, a publication put out by the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association, reported that one of the state's newspapers happily upgraded to CS5 and had a nightmare of problems just opening their CS4 files. This has my editor very nervious about us upgrading. So... I'm testing it out, and I can't place, then open and edit our CS3 Incopy Files. I get a message that says "this story needs toa be converted to "InCopy Document" format to edit it. I've saved it in InCopy CS3 to both incx and incd formats, and both receive the error. Has Adobe made simple InCopy files incompatible with InDesign? I can import files from just about everywhere BUT InCopy??? The Sister Program?
Please advise a simple work around, or I'll bet our upgrade is totally put off.

The Reflector

Bob,
I have to feel that you aren't really reading my posts. While I did mention that our reporters and editor lessentially use InCopy for a word processing program, I did specifically mention in my last post that we use the program for exactly what it was originally intended, for reporters to write and edit, for designers to layout the text, and for writers/and or correction people to get into the files and fix problems - up until the last minute, so yes, we do need to use InCopy, in the manner we were told it was developed for. We don't use it for viewing layouts - that's what InDesign is for.
PLUS, none of our reporters have time, inclination or need to view the layout as it appears in InDesign. If they did, we'd get InDesign for them. They are busy investigating and writing stories, they don't have time to learn even the basics of layout, and frankly, they don't even want to. The one single reporter that is interested has learned some of the basics of InDesign, but she doesn't use it on a regular basis, and dosn't need or want to view the pages. She does need and want to edit a story occasionally even after it's been placed into the layout, but she want's to view it as the same copy she wrote, so she can do it quickly, not as a page layout she has to hunt thru it and every other story on the page to find the problem.
I don't mind Adobe stopping selling older versions - don't blame them at all on that one - if you're buying a new product - go buy the latest and greatest. If the version didn't matter, you wouldn't have to worry if about matching your other versions and you wouldn't need to find an old version. But why BUILD IN obselecense in a PART of a system within just a couple of years. We're using CS3 InDesign, yes, but we bought it just shortly before they came out with CS4. If we'd known when the release would be (we don't track the industry close enough to be checking on when release dates are "expected" to be) we'd have probably waited the 4 months and upgraded to that. But time wise, we haven't had the CS3 THAT long, so I don't go along with the "two versions back is too old" theory.
I'm afraid I don't quite see why the text fit would change from one version to another when the fit is based on font, text size, etc. And that doesn't change, Times Roman, 10.5 point on 10.7 leading... And as far as split/span/balanced column features and mutiple page sizes - those aren't going to affect our work flow at all. All we need is the ability to write text, and edit that text from other desks besides the designers, as well as the designers being able to open the file to fix headline size in InDesign.
As for the reporters getting the trial version and trying it out - did you miss where I mentioned that we provided CS3 to all of them, and pretty much none of them bothered to load it onto their computers??? They don't want any bells and whistles. They want to keep going as they are going.
If they wanted to go to the latest and greatest - it'd wouldnt' be an issue - but they don't need or want it, why should they be forced to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading?
And that also brings up the issue, when we buy those 7 versions that aren't going on computers with InDesign (and the whole rest of the Standard and Design Suites) who wants to bet me that it's gonna take more hard drive space, more ram, and there's a huge potential that it ain't even going to fit on their computers and still leave room for it to think?
And just one other though - just because backwards incompatibility is a fact of life in today's programs - does that make it good or right?
What this basically means, with no specific NEED for the designers to upgrade to InDesign CS5, and the requirement that if they do we'll have to upgrade not only the reporter's versions of InCopy AND most probably, their computers, we will probably put off upgrading and wait another year and a half for CS6.
