How does Adobe CS2 perform in Leopard?

Hi all
I am very interested in migrating from Tiger to Leopard but one of the reasons that is preventing this is the supposed behaviour of Adobe CS2 in the latter. Upgrading to CS3 is not possible due to financial reasons so I am more interested in anyone who is using, or has used, Adobe CS2 applications in Leopard to see what the stability is like.
I have read that CS2 is not rock sold under Leopard but the proof is in the using so please tell me your experiences briefly if you can so I can make a more informed decision about my options.
Many thanks.

Thanks for your reply - I have CS2 - the basic suite (AI,GoLive, InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat) and upgraded from Panther to Tiger, so I could use Acrobat 8. I use the suite on an old Quicksilver - processer as below - 733 MHz - usually okay but spinny on charts that are complex - but I don't overwork AI and Photoshop - mostly use InDesign and Acrobat, and an additional InDesign on another computer. I deauthorized the single InDesign on my iBook and put it on the MacBook Pro to try it out - the first couple of times it was okay but sometimes it fails to open - starts to "bounce" then just hangs. This is quite frustrating since the power of the MacBook far outstrips my stalwart Quicksilver- I'd love to access it but I really can't afford CS3. If you have any workarounds, that would be great. For now I'd be happy just to use InDesign on the MacBook, but it would be great to have the entire suite available on it.

How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

ExportPDF is based on a newer conversion engine than the one found in Acrobat 9.0. They're similar in some respects, but ExportPDF is more advanced.

Why and how does Adobe Store's policy deliberately impede Least Developed Countries from developing?

Hi there,
My name is Dr Eric Mousset. I currently reside in Cambodia, having the privilege to serve as (international) Technical Assistant to support a Government project that is co-funded by the Royal Government of Cambodia and the World Bank, and purposed to Higher Education Capacity and Quality Improvement.
My mission implies conducting a survey on skills demand by employers and skills supply by Higher Education Institutions, in order to better inform further policy development.
Among the expected policy outcomes: a more effective alignment between skills supply and job market needs.
Among the desired policy impacts: providing the Cambodian economy with the HR skills that are required for its growth and diversification.
I am impressed by the combined capabilities of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and Adobe Forms Central. And until this morning it was on top of my shortlist of surveying tools.
Unfortunatley, while attempting to upgrade to FormsCentral's "Plus" plan, I have received the following reply from Adobe:
Unsupported Country
Thus here is my question:
Why and how does Adobe Store's policy deliberately impede Least Developed Countries from developing?
Yours sincerely,
Dr Eric Mousset

Hi;
I can't speak to the business decisions that lead to which countries we enable purchasing subscriptions in the store, but I can guarantee you that it is not to impede anyones development.
A credit card with an address in any of the supported countries can be used for purchasing the subscription, this has enabled many to get around the issue, but that is the only way to subscribe.
Thanks,
Josh

Adobe CS2 compatibility with Leopard 10.5.1

I need to boot from the disks on an old iMac -- but I can't locate those disks. I do have an unused Leopard 10.5.1 that I could use -- but I need to make sure that Adobe CS2 will still work on that computer. Does anyone know if it will work?

Ha-ha.... I had an IT guy tell me it would overwrite the system but wouldn't mess with the data or the programs -- but he couldn't tell me if they were compatible... I guess this why I'm not computer guru!

How will Adobe CS2 run on my imac G5 2.0 GHz?

On ebay I recently won a imac G5 (ALS) 2.0 GHz with 1GB of RAM and a 128 MB ATI Radeon 9600 Video Card etc. you guys probably already know the specs.
anyways despite the optimistic opinions of the guys at my local independent mac store I'd like to know really how well this machine will run the Adobe CS2 Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign).
now I don't work on HUGE files... probably 20 megs max, but I like to switch back and forth between Photoshop and Illustrator a lot, dragging and dropping graphics etc. and one of my biggest peeves is lag of any kind while I'm doing this. screws up my "flow" or whatever when I'm in the groove and I'm feeling inspired.
what I have at my 9-5 office job is a Mac Pro G5 w/ dual 1.8 GHz processors and 3GB of RAM. this is basically where I'm coming from (wish it was mine but it belongs to the company) so how will my imac hold up when I'm doing my graphic design at home? do I need more RAM? thanks for your help

cool... next I'll have to get an ipod nano (black ofcourse) and build my music library up again. I'm coming from a PC and the really clunky Sony Connect music software so as soon as my Mac arrives my Sony mp3 player is gonna go up on ebay and I'm going to have to look around for a nano. I like itunes so much better anyways... a lot easier to use so the switch is actually fine with me.
and because my imac isn't an isight one with FrontRow I'll have to get a universal base and remote... I'll probably just end up getting the A/V kit cuz lord knows I don't want to have to get off the couch the change tunes while I'm chillin at home listening to music on my sound system.
my imac has the optical audio-out port that I could plug into my Pioneer receiver but without the FrontRow remote I'd have to be in front of the computer when I wanted to change songs... unless the remote that controls the universal base and ipod can also control itunes thats on the mac thus controlling the music thats being ported out over the optical line but thats a different thread entirely and probably belongs on the ipod forum....
and besides, the optical audio line is really only beneficial for DTS Surround Sound signals and I'd just be sending junky compressed mp3 audio to my receiver anyways so a composite line is probably fine (like the one that comes with the A/V kit).

Adobe CS2 and Snow Leopard

Hi everyone,
I have a MacBook Pro with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I installed CS2 months ago with no problem, but since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard I've come across some issues. I had to do a complete wipe and used Snow Leopard instead of the original DVD that came with the laptop (at the suggestion of my IT guy) because of another issue with one of my accounts and since then, some programs need Rosetta to get them opened initially. The only one I'm having a real issue with is my CS2. I can't afford to upgrade, which is why I'm still with CS2. I get the following message: "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
I have uninstalled, reinstalled and am still getting the same message. Does anyone have any ideas how I can remedy this situation besides upgrading to the newest version.
Thanks,
Jena

I have been using CS2 for a while, and since I installed Snow Leopard, InDesign CS2 is the one which has given me the most difficult time. Apparently, Rosetta and the PostScript language have some problems communicating together. As soon as I have to do something which involve transparency setting (pasting a graphic from Illustrator, trying to make a PDF which contains an imported Illustrator file...), the application crashes. I tried from InDesign directly (almost never works), from the Print menu (ditto), and sometimes I succeed in making a PS file that goes successfully through Distiller.
I didn't have much trouble with Illustrator and Photoshop, though. The only thing It seems I can do is trying to find me a legit copy of CS4, if such a thing still exists.

Adobe CS2 and Snow Leopard - do I have to buy CS4 to use SL?????

That is RIDICULOUS!!!!
In order to use Snow Leopard I have to spend 1,000 in a new CS suite!!????
Adobe is in debt with all the CS, CS2 and CS3 users who can't install a new OS on their Macs
because there is no support for CS old Versions.
Shame on you Adobe!!!
We demand a patch to solve this situation!!!
Old CS users United!!!!

Have you yet complained to St. Steve of Cupertino that Apple does so little to maintain application compatibility when they release new versions of their operating systems?
It is a primary rule of operating system development and maintenance that you maintain full compatibility with existing applications and not break such compatibility just for the purpose of being "neat and cool, cool and neat."
If you are willing to spend time and $$$$ to upgrade your operating system to a new and incompatible version, you should be prepared to also spend money for versions of applications that had to be seriously rejiggered to work with these incompatibilities.
Adobe didn't break compatibility, Apple did. Complain to them!

How does Premiere Pro perform on a Dell XPS 15?

Trying to establish if Premiere Pro (via a full subscription of the Creative Cloud suite for $49.99) is worth the investment when I'm working on a Dell XPS 15 laptop with 16 GB of RAM (rest of the hardware is standard top-of-the line XPS 15 options, i.e. quad core processor, NVIDIA video card, etc). I've been using Adobe Premiere Elements and a ton of 4K GoPro footage with some pretty meaningful slowdown when rendering. This could be par for the course, but I'd just as quickly go with another video editing program like Sony Vegas for my purposes and pay far less, but of course also get far less in terms of Adobe power.
Also - this laptop does not have a 7200rpm hard drive (the one that isn't solid state, which is 32GB by itself). It's 1TB but likely in the high 5's instead...not sure if I can use a faster external hard drive and meet optimal spec requirements to preserve video as much as possible. Please advise.

My inquiry is actually to the reverse of your suggestion; I have the laptop, but I hadn't yet purchased the Adobe Cloud Creative Suite. Though I went ahead and did so this week. The XPS 15 was chosen for its lightweight aluminum / carbon fiber construction, Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, 1TB of hard drive space for ample storage, and the SSD for active programs so things are quick to launch. I've had very few complaints with the laptop itself, having used only Adobe Premiere Elements (which came with the purchase) and the GoPro app for developing a few videos of aerial GoPro footage. It has served its purpose; I'm not a professional doing this work to sustain my living - it's a hobby to me, though I aim to have the best possible quality in all things when possible. Granted, I could've spent the same amount of money, or perhaps a little more, and gotten the best and fastest desktop arrangement money could buy for my purposes with ample more power and performance, but I wanted 100% mobility for all my equipment (drone, camera, and video production unit). Gives-and-takes in everything, of course - the biggest consequence has been rendering, but in this forum that probably goes without saying, and though not awesome, it's livable even when using GoPro 4K codec as BartonGarrett256 wisely mentions.
Nevertheless, Adobe Premiere has been doing well so far...certainly better than the Elements application in terms of both performance and capability (naturally). I haven't gotten to After Effects yet, though I do love having that at my whim with my Cloud subscription which is, to me, well worth what you get for what you pay if you know you'll be using multiple applications for the foreseeable future. The days of paying hundreds of dollars for one application are ending, as well they should in my opinion.
Though I'm open-minded to what one might suggest for the most powerful laptop on the market - 8 core is honestly news to me. My XPS was purchase in December 2014 and it had the best processor Dell could offer with the XPS model. I almost went with an Alienware, but it would've been a lot bulkier, and the display was archaic in a world moving more and more toward crystal clarity wherever possible.
One other setback I would love advice / opinions on - the 1TB drive that came with the XPS is not 7000+ in speed...I recall it being in the 5's. Can I remedy this with an external drive that does have the higher speeds cited as optimal for the Adobe video editing suite?

How does adobe creative suite 2 run on the apple book pro?

I am mainly using AfterEffects and Adobe creative suite2
on a powermac dual 2.5 gig. Do those run a lot slower on the apple book pro?

I've only been using my MacBook pro for about a week (but now I have to send it to apple to replace the logic board), but my experience with photoshop CS2 and AE has been positive.
I also have a TI800 and the MacBook Pro blows that away but I'm sure the newest Powerbook would out perform the MacBook in AE and photoshop. Bottom line is it is definitely usable and better then I expected.

How does Adobe make their camera profiles for ACR and Lightroom?

I'm not interested in the proprietary algorithms , but I am curious as to the photographic mechanics and hardware tools used by Adobe to make the various camera profiles as they differ markedly from the ones I make using the DNG Profile Editor.
My methodology is to set an X-Rite 24 patch Color Checker target, light it evenly with electromic flash (with 0.1 stops from center to corners as mesured with a Sekonic L-758r Meter) and make a series of exposures bracketed in third of a stop increments around the meter reading in case the camera sensitivity differs from the meter's.
I then process the raw files and convert them to the DNG format, select the best exposure and run it through the DNG Profile editor. My results differ from Adobe's generic profiles for that camera enough that that I don't thin kthe difference can be credited to the difference between a generic profile a specific camera.
How do the different tools work in the DNG converter? Starting with the Options for "Base Tone Curve"? Is there a document a moderately color geeky person can understand that explains this?
I thin kthe DNG Profile editor is a great and under usedtool. I wish more people knew about it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Someone who only eats sausage may not want to know how it's made. Someone who creates things with food, a chef, a cook, or otherwise is thinking about a career in the food industry, might have a interest in such things. Someone who is thinking of making sausage will want to know all the details. Someone who is concerned with the public safety might want to know how sasauge is made.
It would be nice for a sausage maker to give some hints about the process as compared to what each of us can do with the DNG Profile Editor and to the original poster's question, why are our profiles different from Adobe's?
It is my experience that when I create a profile with the DNG Profile Editor, and then compute the color error for each of the 24 color patches of a CC24, using a program like Imatest, some colors are quite a bit off and some are very close, and the colors that are off, are not the same ones that are off when I compute the color error using one of the Adobe Standard or Camera Standard profiles.
Is Adobe using more detailed and sophisticated color targets with hundreds of different colors, or if not, do the tools provide more feedback and allow more manual manipulation of the profile and so the differences are due to their judgement about which colors to make "right" and which ones to let have more error associated with them, that can be manipulated by hand instead of merely letting the DNG Profile Editor apparently distribute the error amongst the various colors with some sort of even-handed calculation.
For example it is easy to imagine that someone tweaking a profile by hand with a live readout of the error of each of the colors plus an overall composite error, might put more emphasis on skin tones being right if they have a background in people photography, or more emphasis on bright colors being right if their experience is in textiles and the current trend in the US is bright colors--and a different emphasis when the trend is muted colors so there is cultrual bias and life-experience coloring a "standard" profile.
In other words, how much of the difference between Adobe and our profiles are due to Adobe having different or better science, and how much of it is due to Adobe have different or better "artists" who decide what colors to make correct compared to others.

How does Adobe Forms Central base their automated page breaks when distributing to a PDF form?

OR
How can I define those page breaks before Adobe Forms Central created the PDF. I have attempted to "insert" a page break within the form; however, when distributing this form to be created as a PDF, the PDF is still placing the auto-generated page break wherever it wants.
Is it possible to move these auto generated breaks once the PDF form is created?
Thank you!

Did you add the page breaks while in Web View or Page View? FormsCentral uses "web view" as the default, but uses the "page view" to show where the PDF will have page breaks. Go to the menu bar on the top right, select "view," and then select "page view." You should be able to see page breaks here, and move them where you'd like them. It won't affect what people see on the web, just in the PDF.

How does Adobe create a desktop icon when I open a web pdf document, and how can I get it to stop?

I am finding a host of pdf file icons cluttering up the desktop when I exit the Web after researching a topic. I have saved some files with the 'save as' feature, but there is nothing else I have done.
I have looked through the usual properties, options looking for clues for this automatic program, to choose a different one... and have yet to find anything indicating this program or process.
How is this happening and how can I stop it?
Thank you!

Thanks for your interest in helping- This system has Firefox (whatever is recent) , Windows 7 Professional, Adobe Reader XI.
While on the Web, I have opened, perused, then saved docs to file using 'save as' option in the browser; and on closing the browser, I see numbers of pdf shortcuts on the desktop.
Also, this kind of thing has occurred inconsistently, so there has been nothing "usual" in my actions to which I can attribute these icons.
Sorry - I delete them and clean out the recycle bin, or I'd be able to tell you whether these were shortcuts or the actual files. I'm trying to resurrect the image in my mind, and I believe they may have been the docs, not simply shortcuts...
Thank you for your time!

How does Adobe XI floating toolbar in google chrome pdf allow toolbar to appear?

Previous versions of the floating toolbar had a Home icon which allowed access to the traditional toolbar (please see example below)
Note: Read mode is the default viewing mode when you open a PDF in a web browser.
The current floating toolbar version does not seem to have this functionality.

Yes it does - but if you're seeing this floating toolbar:
then the PDF is being displayed in Chrome's internal viewer. Type "chrome://plugins/" in the address bar, scroll down to the Chrome PDF option and enable Adobe Reader instead:

How does adobe apps looks with the new retina display macbook?

I'ver heard that it gets so blurry that you cant even read the text. I use adobe creative suite 6 production premium. does the video inside apps like adobe after effect play in "retina" quality? is there anything I can do to make it not blurry if it will look blurry?

I frequent the CS6 forums - particularly Photoshop - and most users are quite happy using CS6 products on MBP-R using the 'best for Retina resolution option. I have yet to hear someone say that they apps are unusable, etc. People are just waiting for Adobe to announce Photoshop for Retina display, as shown at the June Apple WWDC.
There's really nothing out there to replace the CS6 apps with - I think that you'll be fine with them. If you're anxious about it, just don't buy the Retina - buy a 2012 MBP with the HD anti-glare screen.
I assume that it will be several years before applications are updated for Retina - if at all.
Check out some of the CS6 Adobe forums to read what MBP-R owners have to say - I've not read that many complaints.
