I Lost Power to my PC while in Acrobat Reader and lost data, where is temp file located?

I lost power to my pc while typing a new acrobat reader file but never saved it, where is the default temp file located, if this exists? Thanks.

The answer to your question depends upon your version of Reader and your OS. Especially since the last version of Acrobat Reader was version 5 which is four majors versions ago. The last four versions have been called Adobe Reader, not Acrobat Reader. This the forum for the Acrobat commericial product, not the free reader product.  
PDF files cannot be edited in Reader and fields filled in with Reader cannot be saved (unless especially enabled) canot be re-opened from the temp files. To make a long story short. You will need to re-type the information. 
Sorry to be the bearer of the sad news.

    Hi,
    I have started developing the code with the following SQL Query -
    Query 1
    SELECT DISTINCT
    TransactionDetail.TRANS_TYPE_ID,
    MstTransaction.TRANS_DESC,
    TransactionDetail.TRANSACTION_NUMBER,
    TransactionDetail.CREATOR_NAME,
    TransactionDetail.CREATOR_EMAIL,
    TO_CHAR(TransactionDetail.TRANS_DATE, 'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss') TRANS_DATE,
    Error.ERROR_SH_MSG,
    Error.ERROR_DETAIL_MSG
    FROM
    TRANSACTION_DETAIL TransactionDetail,
    MST_TRANSACTION MstTransaction,
    ERROR Error
    WHERE
    (TransactionDetail.TRANS_TYPE_ID = MstTransaction.TRANS_TYPE_ID)
    AND (TransactionDetail.ERROR_ID = Error.ERROR_ID)
    AND MstTransaction.TRANS_TYPE_ID=(:MstTransTypeId)
    After that there is a change in the Requirement to add "Start Date" and "End Date" with a "Go Button" --> Clicking on this Go Button displays the Data Based on
    "Drop Down" box, "Start Date" & "End Date" --> Corresponding Data is Picked From Database and Displayed....
    Now, i have Updated the VO (From JDEV Design Time) with the latest Updated Query (added Start Date and End Date in the Query),
    also check the Corresponding XML file is also Updated with the latest Query.
    Query 2
    SELECT DISTINCT
    TransactionDetail.TRANS_TYPE_ID,
    MstTransaction.TRANS_DESC,
    TransactionDetail.TRANSACTION_NUMBER,
    TransactionDetail.CREATOR_NAME,
    TransactionDetail.CREATOR_EMAIL,
    TransactionDetail.TRANS_DATE,
    Error.ERROR_SH_MSG,
    Error.ERROR_DETAIL_MSG
    FROM
    TRANSACTION_DETAIL TransactionDetail,
    MST_TRANSACTION MstTransaction,
    ERROR Error
    WHERE
    (TransactionDetail.TRANS_TYPE_ID = MstTransaction.TRANS_TYPE_ID)
    AND (TransactionDetail.ERROR_ID = Error.ERROR_ID)
    AND MstTransaction.TRANS_TYPE_ID=(:MstTransTypeId)
    AND MstTransaction.IS_NOTIFICATION_REQ='Y'
    AND TransactionDetail.TRANS_DATE BETWEEN (TO_DATE((:TheStartDate), 'YYYY-MM-DD')) AND (TO_DATE((:TheEndDate), 'YYYY-MM-DD')) order by TRANS_DATE
    So now at Design Time i have Query 2, but Strangely at RUN Time Query 1 is Excecuting asking for "Start Date" Binding Variable NOT Found (as there is no Start Date Bind Variable in Query 1)
    for this i have to re-Design the required Part...to make it work
    can any body explain why it behaved like this ??

  • Problem while creating with QUAN and CURR data type fields

    I am trying to create a Z table. A couple of fields are of data type QUAN and CURR, which need to have reference table and reference field.
    Field               DataType     Length     Decimal
    TOT_QTY       QUAN            15                 3
    PRICE              CURR             16                2
    For reference table and fields, I found a Table HRPAD23 which has a field called N_QUANTITY (15,3) that matches my TOT_QTY field's data type and it also has a field called UN_PRICE that matches my PRICE field's data type. But when I use them as reference, and try to activate the table, I get an error "combination reference table/field does not exist". How do I fix this? Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.

    Martin,
    I doubt that you need to add 2 extra fields in your table as suggested in the last post by John.
    Your error is very CLEAR that you seem to be use wrong combination of reference table and field.
    For QTY field,
    use ref table  -  HRPAD23.              ref field- UNIT
    OR
    ref table - VBAP                       ref field - VRKME
    For PRICE field,
    use ref table - PAD25                  ref field - KWAER
    OR
    ref table - T77REFDOC                                     ref field - CURRENCY
    It should work.

  • Restoring the lost data.

    Hi All,
    We have two Planning Applications created in EPMA architecture.
    Accidentally user has deleted the critical forecast data from one of the application by running the Business rule which deletes the data. The data which got delete was critical one and now user need to restore it back.
    We do have latest windows file system back up taken on both Physical Hyperion Application & Essbase Servers therefore we can restore the necessary files from backup in order to restore the lost data with the help of our Storage team who handles the back ups.
    Could you please advice on how do we go ahead for restoring the lost data from backed up files and which files we may need to restore from the back up.
    This is an extremely urgent & critical issue we are facing hence your valuable advice is much needed as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance !

    I have tried this Maxl couple of times in case of Invalid Block Header issues. Doesn't seem to resolve for me.
    If it is a case of invalid block header :
    How to restore a database:
    1. Stop the application/database and delete the dbname.ind file.
    2. Clear non input level data using Hyperion Application Manager, DATABASE -> CLEAR DATA -> NON-INPUT BLOCKS. Then perform a full calculation of the database either using CALC ALL or if required, specific calc scripts. This may not work however as it depends on where the IBH lies in the data. If this still returns the error during the calculation then proceed to step 3.
    3. Stop the application and delete the following files from your database.
    This removes all the data from the database.
    <dbname>.ind
    ess000#.ind
    ess000#.pag
    <dbname>.tct
    <dbname>.esm
    To get the data back:
    a. Do a full calc from your database from an input level export
    or
    b. Restore from an existing backup. If this backup does contain an IBH, then keep restoring previous backups and checking.
    Hope this helps!

    Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
    Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • What can happen to an intel-based iMac when a power outage occurs while it is on and I unplug it to avoid a surge when power comes back?

    The power went out today, while I was using my intel-based iMac (2008) and I rushed to unplug the power from the wall, before the poser could surge back on. Did I do damage?
    I have a surge protector that it was plugged into, but I thought just to be safe I should unplug!
    Thanks, Group!
    artdough

    Good point!
    Art a surge protector (a good one) is designed to provide contant power to the devices that are plugged into it. This is good in the event of a surge of power up or down however in the event of a complete power outage they're of no value.
    A UPS (Uninteruptable Power Supply) is just that, it has surge protection like a surge suppresor however it also has a battery integrated into it. The battery is designed to provide enough power for a user to do an orderly shutdown. In addition most UPS's can also plug into your iMac via a USB cable. Then you can set energy saver preferences that you cannot see now. For example you can set how long the computer should run in the event of power going off. You can also set if you want the computer to reboot or not when the power comes back on etc. For about $100 you can get a fine UPS that will add an additional layer of protection for your computer and give you extra peace of mind.

    If all your files are missing
    You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.   
    If files are missing from one folder
    Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    iMac G5 won't start...

    Did it boot from any of those other modes?
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
