Help, I can't open up an adobe file that has been sent to me by my Professor.

I am taking an on line class at the University of Louisville and my professor has sent her files in adobe. I have never used adobe and I have downloaded the program but I still can't get the file to open, could someone please help me?

Hi robindisney,
I would love to help. Just to make sure I understand: Your professor sent you PDF files, is that correct? What application did you download and install to view them? All you need is the free Adobe Reader, which you can get from here: www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
If you've already installed Reader, but still can't open the files, can you please let me what happens when you try? Do you get an error message?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

You can do this with Acrobat, but, as Claudio says, it's not possible in Adobe Reader.
If you do have Adobe Acrobat, you can learn how to modify text styles here.

How do I fix or open a corrupted PDF file that has been corrupted by some sort of programmatically emailing?
Please see the following screen shot:

Well, it is a pdf file, and it once was a readable one, I suppose.
It must have data on the hex or binary level that can be retrieved.
If necessary, I will have to look into the file format of a PDF file? Is this documented?

How can I save music that has been sent to me via email on my iPad.?

How can I save music to my iPad that has been sent to me in an email? Please help

You can't save it to the Music app directly on the iPad, you will need to see if there are any third-party music apps in the store that you allow you to copy music from Mail to them. For the Music app then only way to get music into it is via the iTunes store app directly on the iPad and by syncing from your computer's iTunes.

You should be able to open the zipped file by double clicking on it.

How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

THanks for your reply.
Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
converts it into docx, my choice. I can read it there and when I try to
copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
to see it. I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing. What
I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit. People send me
things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
doesnt allow me to copy the text. If it is in image form, I cannot work on
it. It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program. Its just double the work and
ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
Sorry if I am a bit dumb with informatics. But I simply could not find
any way whatever to copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
format that would enable me to edit it.
Kindest regards,
Margery

How do I open a pdf book cover file using Acrobat XI into Indesign CC? Everytime I try, it says I am trying to open a file that has been saved wrong.

How do I open a pdf book cover file using Acrobat XI into Indesign CC? Everytime I try, it says I am trying to open a file that has been saved wrong.

PDF files cannot be natively opened in InDesign. They can only be placed as graphics.

I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

'''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

I can't delete photos in albums that has been sent from a pc

What is the procedure for deleting photos in albums on iPad that has been sent from another PC.

You need to remove them the same way you put them on the iPad.
That is by Unsyncing them in iTunes on the computer.
You can unselect the folder you wish to remove in ITunes on the computer, or sync an empty folder to remove them all.

How can I import XDCAM footage from files that have been taken off the card?

Hi,
I am trying to log and transfer footage that has been taken off SxS cards and put onto an external hard drive. I've downloaded the Sony plug-ins for my computer, but still can't import anything in Log and Transfer. Can anyone help?

Was THE ENTIRE CARD backed up? Everything? The full card structure? If not, then FCP won't see it...it'll say the directory structure is invalid. IN that case you might need to use the XDCAM TRANSFER UTILITY...separate app that can transcode the footage to QT FCP can use.

O I need Pages on my iMac in order to open a file that has been transferred from my iPad?

I guess you could open it using the icloud version of Pages (on www.icloud.com).

I can not open a file that has been converted from a PDF to a .doc. I have a one year subscription to PDF Pack.

I click on the tool to convert my pdf file to a .doc file. When the program writes it is finished and I can down load the document, I do so. Even though the converted file is listed as a .doc or docx, neither Microsoft Word nor OpenOffice can open it. What is going wrong?
I also click to be able to edit my pdf document, but no commands to edit it come up. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi ktewksbu,
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. What is the file size of the converted document (and the filename extension)? Do you have the same issue with any file that you try to convert? Or is the problem specific to one file?
As for editing a PDF file, that requires Acrobat. (Adobe Reader lets you comment on a PDF, but not alter its content).
Best,
Sara
