InContext - A Suggestion to Adobe

Rather than tack this on to another thread, I thought it best to put this on the forum as a direct suggestion...
Adobe, why not offer the ICE service to the legitimate owners of your software as a registration incentive?
At present, the suggested scheme of a paid service is like selling us a kettle then charging us again for boiling water in it. Our web hosts are the equivalent of the electricity supplier and we pay them for having our sites online. If the proposed fee has any bearing on using the service through your servers, please provide clear documentation so we can use the service whilst hosting on our own servers.

I understand Christinel as an Adobe employee, you would see it that way. Whilst I understand the distinction you are making, you can not separate the service from the tools.
InContext is an Adobe technology, but all the tools to utilise the service are supplied in a commercial Adobe product (DW), which is designed and promoted by Adobe primarily to web designers (actually users of Adobe DW specifically). The tools are not included in the cheaper editing software app Contribute. The tools are put into DW so we can use them, this is clear.
As a user of Adobe products, I like many others I see on the forums with justifiable concerns, feel Adobe would be less antagonistic in this issue if they could let us host the service ourselves. I come back to my analogy of being sold a kettle (water included in the form of the ICE toolset) and being asked to pay a third-party to boil the water.
Better still, acknowledge that we have already paid a lot of money for the product and give us the service as a registration incentive please!

Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

I have similar issue. Did u find an answer?

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

free
Thank you for your attention

Adobe has been trying this and the product is called Muse ( Web design software | Download free Adobe Muse CC trial ). It doesn't give you the control over the code that most developers prefer but it could help bridge the gap for design if that is what you are looking for.

A suggestion to adobe photoshop

When we handle a big picture with brush,We don't know we have modified in those places if we do not enlarge the picture.Could
adobe add a new feature:when we use a key in the keyboard，photoshop can tell us where did we had handle.(the place of one step up brushes had handled)

You're going to have to make your suggestion again I think man in the mirror. Since its not that clear. At all.

Suggestions for Adobe Reader for my tablet

I'm not sure if there's a better place to post this, so . . . in using Adobe Reader on my Nexus 7 tablet, I have a few suggestions for features:
It would be great if you could include a search function as you find on Adobe Reader for PC and (I assume) Apple. Not sure why this is not included in the tablet version.
When I open Adobe Reader on my tablet, it always defaults to the Recent Documents list. I would like it, if in the settings, you could have it default to open in the folder view; as it is, I have to go thru a few steps to get here which is a pain.
Regards, David

Also, it would help a lot to have a "fit to width" display option, as on the PC version. This would mean somewhat larger text (good) and a better fit to the 5:8 aspect ratio of most android devices.

An 'open letter' suggestion to Adobe

Hi, All.
I have been using Photoshop since version 5 (late '90's).
I currently use the CS6 Web Premium. I primarily use Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator and Lightroom. I am a professional photographer.
I won't get in to rehashing the many dissatisfied comments that have appeared here, and elsewhere, all over the web. It's been said clearly and loudly.
But simply put, I too am very unhappy with Adobe's decision to move to the subscription-only service model. And to be clear, I am a user who actually upgrades near the beginning of each new release cycle. So it's not the "skip a version" reasoning for me. It's simply the 'you stop paying, you stop using our product' mentality of this new business model that I refuse to participate in. I have dealt with this model in using our main photo-business management software for a number of years now, and finally, at last, I have discontinued my association with this company, and moved to a new alternative. I had been looking for an alternative for the last 3 years. And that's the point, there are always new alternatives looking for a chance to happen. And in the business management software category, one finally came along that did everything I needed, and I moved on immediately.
Adobe, may I suggest that if you feel this model is crucial to your survival as a company, that your at least look at the current model used on the 'ProSelect' software by 'TimeExposure'. They too, have chosen a subscription-based mentality, and at least for now, I'm still on board with them. But they do work off of a 6-month or yearly renewal option. As in, I pay for a year subscription, and within that time, I receive all upgrades, updates and support to their product. If at the end of a cycle, I choose to not continue, the software still works.
Yes, the software still works.
Ending their subscription renewal term, simply ends the support and the updates and continued upgrades. So at that point, the customer has chosen to not receive any more updates, etc.. But, also at that point, their software still works on their machine. And this is the bottom line that's been mentioned by so many Adobe users.
May a further suggest that you take it a step to the better, and continue to support the products with basic operational updates as you've stated you will do with CS6. As in, so it still works on a new, latest version of OSX or Windows. But just not offer the 'features' upgrades without the subscription. That's at least fair.
Anyways, hope this offers a little insight form a long-time user. One who hopes to remain such.
Thanks.

Trying out CS4 and a suggestion to Adobe.

Hi all:
I've been trying out CS4 while waiting for it to come in at the
University computer store.
At work on my new Dell Optiplex 755 with 4gig of memory, it flies!
At home with my old Gateway and HP laptop, not so good. The openGL stuff
doesn't work on either one. The video card in the Gateway is an ATI 550
with 250meg of memory and the latest drivers I could find. It claims to
have openGL 2.0 but it doesn't work.I found a bit of software on the web
that checks to see if your video is suitable for a video game. It claims
that my system has openGL 2.0 and should work with the published spec's
for CS4 but it doesn't work. This all reminds me of the early days of
personal computing with the compatibility wars were manufactures fought
over who was most compatible and if the software didn't run it was the
hardware's fault not theirs.
My suggestion is for Adobe to make a video test tool that users could
use to validate their video hardware and software. I would like to buy a
new laptop for use with CS4. But it is hard to tell looking at the
spec's for laptops if they will work. If I had this tool on a thumb
drive it would be easy to check.
All in all I've spent more time with software and hardware problems
affecting Photoshop than I've spent on any other programs. As an
engineer I use some powerful and complex software, and none of it is as
fussy as Photoshop is.

Well, see it that way: The trial is your testing tool. As your failed attempts with that game-centric tool more than eloquently prove, there's a fundamental difference between an abstract capabilities test and using features in a practical implementation. Come to think of it, any testing tool that would provide a maximum breadth of possible scenarios would probably be quite complex in itself, drawing resources from fixing stuff in the programs themselves. I know it's a *****, but consider that vendors of other programs face the same situation. It may look smooth on the surface, but from personal involvement I know that even e.g. in 3D programs sometimes programmers will implement a specific workaround for only a given graphics card or series of cards that does not comply to the (theoretically) unified standards of OpenGL. It's not much different for Adobe, for sure. At best, one could argue that they had all the money to buy every card and test it, but even that doesn't hold true. In a way, that race has long been lost, as sad as it is...

How can one submit suggestions to Adobe.

It seems that one cannot avoid using Adobe Flash. It offers frequent updates that are mandatory. Whenever you select one of those updates, the default is to down load and install a McAfee security program. I have full blown Norton security program, and each time, I fail to notice the auto install of the McAfee program, I have to remove it.
I can find no way to make a suggestion.

Hi jadams,
Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download software from select Adobe partners.
The simplest and most straight forward alternative is to uncheck the checkbox. It’s an opt out situation, not opt in and I also understand your position on that.
If a user has selected the “Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)” update mechanism, then they will only be prompted for updates on major releases. All zero day security updates will be installed silently, without any interaction from the user. Also note that the user can simply decline the major update, in which case we will update Flash Player silently after 30 days. No third party software will be involved.
To file a bug or enhancement request for Adobe Flash Player, please use the Flash Player bug system.

SUGGESTION TO ADOBE: PLEASE CREATE A PROPER FORUM FOR SUBSCRIPTION AND BILLING ISSUES

I think and many will agree, that it is about time that Adobe would create a forum just for subscription or billing issues.
There are so many people looking for help that taking this issues to a specific forum, would help in reducing the signal to noise ratio and keep a focus on specific topics. Yes, Adobe should fix these issues and I am sure they are being address but creating proper channels would speed up support, from Adobe staff and from people that, for crazy reasons, volunteer here.
I try to help, but sometimes just the Creative CLoud forum is like a raging river of people looking for help and if it was divided in some topics, it would be a great help. So:
- Create a Creative Cloud membership and Billing issues: It is about time
- How-to and technical issues are still well served by the topics.

Hi Luis,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
I completely apprehend your point of view, the billing issues deal with credit card information which are highly secured information, there is only one authorized group taking care of billing issues.
Regarding Invoice issues, please feel free to raise it here, we do try to resolve them at the earliest.

I can't find a tutorial suggested by Adobe Help Center

Hi,
Im starting to learn Encore from the Adobe Help Center.
Choosing from the Contents tab, Workflow and Workspace > Workflow and Workspace basics > Workflow overview, takes me to a page which third paragraph says:
Visit Resource Center on the Adobe website to view a tutorial detailing how to quickly create a DVD.
I cant find any Resource Center on the Adobe site. Does anyone knows if I can get to this tutorial and how.
Your help is very much appreciated.

What used to be the Resource Center has probably been renamed to
Adobe Design Center

Keyword Sets do not stayed edited, and a suggestion for Adobe

Hello, and thanks for any assistance. I have repeatedly tried to customize and edit Keywords Sets, only to have them revert to their previous state as soon as I swapped to a different set. Either some of the Adobe default words, e.g., "Landscape," will reinsert themselves, or some other weird things happen.
All I know is that I'm having to do this over and over. I've tried quitting as soon as I finished an edit, and that doesn't work. They just don't retain my changes.
Also, while I'm at it, it seems to me that having one infinite (or much larger than a mere 12) keywords available at any given time would be much more efficient than limiting us to 12. The problem is exascerbated because, of course, when I try to go to a second Keyword Set, it hasn't kept my edits, and I have to type them all in anew. What would be great is if the Keyword Set appeared as it does on the left, under the Navigator, and we could check-box all we wanted to apply.
Thanks.
