I have ca. 30 pdf documents I need to search for keywords; when I open these documents in Adobe Reader on my MAC, it shows a Search tool; however, when I search for keywords I know are in the document, none are found. How can I do a keyword search?

Do you know if the text has been OCR recognised? Are the original documents "scans"?
An easy way to find out, if you can select an individual word or letter? If you are selecting a whole block of text then the document will need to be put through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software first to enable you to keyword search.

I downloaded mountain lion and it updated my java to 1.6 and i need 1.5 for work, how can i get java 1.5 back

How can I dowload and use java 1.5 and not the new 1.6 that comes with mountain lion

First, download the version of Java you need. Then, go into Applications > Utilites > Java Preferences. Under the general tab you choose which version you'd like to use by checking or unchecking the versions installed.

I have nearly 6000 .cwk documents - some word and some spreadsheet. How can I mass convert these to pages and numbers?

Have been using Mac from early on. My present MacBook Pro has 3 previous computers and information installed on it.
The question is, I have been using Appleworks/Clarisworks for years for my business. Would like to save that history before moving to Lion. I know you can convert the files individually from .cwk file to pages, but I have nearly 6,000 files to convert.
Is there some way to convert them to pages and numbers or .doc files in mass?

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

Hi ceop,
It seems earlier you were able to use it.
It is not clear why you are facing this issue now.
You can try it with another pdf file,It might be possible that there is some issue with your pdf file.

Transfer them to your harddisk immediately.

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?

Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
Many thanks

It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?

TS1702 I have ePub documents that won't open using iBooks, how can i get them formatted so that I can use them

I have ePub documents that won't open using iBooks, how can i get them formatted so that I can use them

You could try downloading a program called Calibre. It is very good at converting files between formats. I use it all the time to convert PDF's from work to read on iTunes when I don't want to have to keep zooming in and out to read the actual text.
I know that iBooks will read PDF's but they can get pretty squashed down some times. Especially if the original font was small to begin with. So I run them through Calibre and then email them to my phone and open them in iBooks.
