I have a PDF form that I want to pre-fill multiple fields with example text that disappears onFocus. Is there a way to do this?

Pretty much what my subject line says. My client wants example text in the fields of a PDF form that will disappear when the cursor enters the field. When I try this with show/hide layers, the layer becomes visible as soon as I enter form editing mode, and the action doesn't work properly. Any help? I was able to get it to work with a single field, but multiple fields with example text on multiple layers doesn't work for some reason.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Jeffrey ,
You need to use a custom Format script for the field.

I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different. So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb. I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this?

I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different. So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb. I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this? I've been looking at Duplicate Annhilator but I don't think it can do it.
Thanks!

I just ran a test with iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner, Duplifinder and Photodedupo. I imported a folder of 5 photos into a test library 3 times, allowing iPhoto to import duplicates. I then ran the 5 photos thru resizer to reduce their jpeg compression but all other aspects of the file the same.
None of the duplicate removal apps found set that was reduced in the file resizer. That's probably due to the fact that the file creation date was being used as a criteria and the resized photo would have a different file creation date even though the Image Capture date was the same.
They all found the 3 regular duplicates and some of them would mark two and leave the 3rd unmarked. iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner can sort the found duplicates by file size but if the file was edited to get the reduced file size it might not be found as it would have a different file creation/modification date.
iPhoto Library Manage was able to find all duplicates and mark them as such if the file names were the same the the filename option was selected. Otherwise it also missed the modified, resized version. It allowed one to select the one photo to save before going to work on the library.
So if a photo has been reduced in image quality or pixel size it will not be considered a duplicate.

Since I started using Lion (10.7.2) I'm prompted to type my password if I want to add a folder or put something in the trash. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

It sounds like the permissions on your Home folder are snarky.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
Restart Lion and hold down the Command and R keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

Pdf forms in windows 8? cannot fill image field

pdf forms in windows 8? cannot fill image field

Our new Tablet version of Adobe Reader does not yet support form filling, but we are working on adding that. If you have an intel-based Windows 8 computer, you can use the full Desktop verison of Adobe Reader to fill forms.

I have a ton of cookie exceptions, and sometimes I need to change one from "blocked" to "allow". Is there a way to "search" this file?

Paging through the large set of cookie exceptions, to find the one that is causing me not to be able to access a site is getting to be impossible. For example, I want to use ESPN's fantasy football site, but at some point, I must have decided to "block" one of the many cookies that they wanted to set. Now, I cannot get into the site, and I have no luck finding the offending cookie. Is there a way to search this exceptions (or permissions) file so I can find the cookie faster?

The about:permissions was just what I was looking for! Perfect.
Thanks jshcer2000 for the prompt response.

HT204266 I would like my kids to have separate itunes accounts under my umbrella itunes account so they can separate their own gift cards. Is there a way to do this?

I would like my kids to have separate accounts within my iTunes umbrella acct to manage their gift cards and purchases. Is there a way to do this?

You can set up accounts for them, but they will be completely separate. There is no "umbrella" account or global management where you can view and control multiple accounts. You'll have to log into each iTunes Store account separately to redeem gift cards, view purchases, etc. To set up a new iTunes Store account for each child, each will need a separate email address.

I recently had a message come on phone that said "someones" (do not want to reveal actual name) device logged onto your apple ID. Is there a way to bring this message back up?

Also, is there a way to pull up a log of some kind that shows what devices have logged into my apple ID in the last week? And no I do not need to go to itunes and see what devices are associated with my device I have already done this and I need something much more detailed.

Similar issue -- this is the third time in as many months that I've had to restore my iPad. It's a iPad Mini w/ 32GB (ME277LL/A), running the latest iOS8.1.2. The "other" data starts off about 1GB and will bob around that. I was careful about games this time, seeing only a slight rise in the data. Once it started to rise, I deleted all of the game and the data on Game Center. No joy -- the data stays about the same.
Then I noticed it was really climbing -- shooting up to about 10GB and sitting there, no matter what I did: sync it: nothing. Deleting music (on the off chance it was album art or some such: nothing. Deleted all the books in iBooks: no effect -- still 10GB. Cleared the iCloud storage, cleared caches repeatedly: nothing. Reset everything: no effect. Only Restoring the iPad -- which takes forever and is a gigantic pain in the @$$ -- gets it down. This is exactly the same thing that happened the other two times -- I lose about 10GB to "other."
I now suspect, thinking on what I was doing with the device, that pulling movies from iTunes seems to be the culprit. Deleting the movies might take the movie "off the iPad", but there seems to be a corresponding jump in Other. My guess is there's some glitch dumping the information elsewhere.
It makes a 32GB iPad pretty frickin' close to useless in a remarkable amount of time. I've not had this issue until this iPad (bought last summer) with the iOS8 upgrade. I don't see this happen on the iPhone 5S with the same OS...that's why I dialed down to iTunes (when is it not smack in the middle of issues?) and Video as the culprit; I don't watch movies on the phone.
I've noticed a massive amount of posts in support and around the web on this matter...it might be time for Apple to shift it and do something about the matter. If I'm going to be restricted to surfing the web, email, and little else thanks to the Other issue, it really doesn't make sense to stick with this device. I can doo all that on my laptop, can't it?

Many emails I receive have characters like A with an accent instead of £. Is there any way to fix this?

I am using Thunderbird 31.3.0.

Sounds like the email has not used the correct character encoding.
Character encoding (temporary):
* 'View' -> Character encoding'
then select the desired character encoding.
* Tools > Options > Display > Formatting tab
* click on 'Advanced' button
"Incoming Mail" pulldown menu:
Thunderbird will normally use each message's stored character encoding, or auto-detect it, but you can set a default character encoding for message display by using this pulldown.
Post image of what you have in the fonts and Encoding window.
See image below as example
To see what charset is used in email.
Select email in list which has wrong characters, to view in Message Pane.
Click on 'Other Actions' and select 'View source'
Look for :
'''charset''' ="utf-8"
'''Content-Transfer-Encoding''': 7bit
What do you have for those two lines?

If I have two appointments at the same time, they overlap in the iOS 7 calendar rather then appearing side-by-side so that I can't read one of them due to the identical colors of the two appointments. Is there any way to fix this with a setting?

Hey louiseg45826294,
Thank you for posting on Adobe forums.
Could you please let me know what Adobe Writer program you are talking about. Is it Adobe Acrobat or Reader?
Could you please share the screenshot of the exact error message that appears.
Are the PDF forms saved on your computer's local drive?
Hope to hear from you.

Is it possible to have a PDF Form that is both static and dynamic?

So I have a form that I need to make that would consist of two different pages. The first being lots of form fields and some simple graphics where the user could use the comment markup tools to draw some simple lines. The second page would be all text and filling out narrative. So the second page being dynamic and being able to expand would be important. The first page would not need to expand at all. Is there any way to do this and still have the form be one file, one document? What about embedding a dynamic form inside of the static form? Such as how you can embed a word document inside of an excel form... I've done some research but I can't tell if this is even possible. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I kinda figured that... Really too bad. Seems lke it should be possible somehow. Anyway, do you all have any suggestions about the best way to combine a static form that is really just text fields and such (that comments and markup tools can be used in) with another page that is sections of narrative that would need to be able to flow?
Or better yet, a way to draw lines on to a form without using the comment and markup function?
I like your idea about connecting two forms - but I need to keep the final product as simple as possible. Once the user fills it out, they would be to be able to submit it and it show up as one file, even if that is just a flat file. I don't expect you all to tell me how to do this, but it would be nice to know its possible before I commit to the project and research. Thanks in advance.
