Is Adobe ever going to make their products coherent?

It's truly driving me nuts that each product has it's own behavior, it's own shortcuts and so.
I know you eg. bought Flash with it's wierd shortcuts, but coudn't you just add an option to install CS as it is now (that means handfull of stand-alone applications which don't have much in common for those who are already used to it) and another installation variant with coherent and unified control and behavior over all CS produtcs?

Well, nothing is impossible but my personal guess (and it is just a guess) would be that the more OS X sandboxes, the less likely this becomes.

Are Adobe EVER going to make Edge Animate scale-to-fit (like Flash)?

I've been following the progress of Edge Animate (formerly Edge) ever since Steve Jobs decided he wasn't having Flash on the iPad.
With each new version I've been desperately looking for the feature that I consider the most important of all: Scale-to-fit
There are a couple of discussions already on this forum where people have requested this feature - but both have been sidetracked by replies from people who haven't understood what 'scale-to-fit' is. So let me explain Scale-to-fit:
I'm talking about the feature in Flash - where if the HTML dimensions are set to 'Percent' - then the resultant movie will scale-to-fit any browser window. Here is an example of what I mean:
http://www.skippingschool.co.uk
- try changing the browser size and you'll see the whole frame (graphics and images) scales without changing its proportions.
When the latest version of Edge Animate came out with its built-in easy-to-follow 'Resize' Lesson, I thought Adobe had finally found an answer. But good though this feature is, it doesn't solve the problem. It's only possible to properly scale-to-fit images - not graphics.
It's now more important than ever that Adobe finds a solution to this problem. The world is going 'Responsive' - its not just a fad. And 'Responsive' is not just about three columns being squeezed into one. All Responsive sites require images, graphics AND animations to scale-to-fit. So Adobe's tutorial showing how Edge Animate can be added to WordPress sites is of limited use because it won't work for Responsive web sites.
So please Adobe, will someone tell me if scale-to-fit is EVER going to happen? I don't mind if it's 3 months, 6 months, 9 months down the line - but I need to know if it's worth me sticking with Edge Animate - or whether I should be looking toward HTML5 Canvas or something else for a solution?
Alternatively, is there some fundamental reason why it can NEVER happen?
Please tell me? Just put me out of my misery!

Hi Sarah,
I hope you don't mind but I played around with your code a bit and managed to get the kind of scale-to-fit behavior that I believe the OP was asking about. I think the trick is to make sure that you also check whether the scaled height of the stage exceeds the height of the browser window and change the scaling so that it is responsive to changes in both the width and height of the window, whichever is the limiting factor. The code I changed in CompositionReady appears in bold below. I hope this helps.
sym.$("#Stage").css({ // Set the transform origin so we always scale to the top left corner of the stage
"transform-origin":"0 0",
"-ms-transform-origin":"0 0",
"-webkit-transform-origin":"0 0",
"-moz-transform-origin":"0 0",
"-o-transform-origin":"0 0"
function scaleStage() {
    var stage = sym.$('Stage'); // Set a reusable variable to reference the stage
    var parent = sym.$('Stage').parent(); // Set a reusable variable to reference the parent container of the stage
    var parentWidth = stage.parent().width(); // Get the parent of the stage width
    var parentHeight = $(window).height(); // Get the browser window height
    var stageWidth = stage.width(); // Get the stage width
    var stageHeight = stage.height(); // Get the stage height
    var desiredWidth = Math.round(parentWidth * 1); // Set the new width of the stage as it scales
    var desiredHeight = Math.round(parentHeight * 1); // Set the new height of the stage as it scales
    var rescaleWidth = (desiredWidth / stageWidth); // Set a variable to calculate the new width of the stage as it scales
    var rescaleHeight = (desiredHeight / stageHeight); // Set a variable to calculate the new height of the stage as it scales
    var rescale = rescaleWidth;
    if (stageHeight * rescale > desiredHeight) // Do not scale larger than the height of the browser window
                    rescale = rescaleHeight;
// Rescale the stage!
           stage.css('transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
     stage.css( '-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
           stage.css('-ms-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
     stage.css('-webkit-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
           stage.css('-moz-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
     stage.css('-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
           parent.height(stageHeight * rescale); // Reset the height of the parent container so the objects below it will reflow as the height adjusts
// Make it happen when the browser resizes
$(window).on('resize', function(){
           scaleStage();
// Make it happen when the page first loads
$(document).ready(function(){
    scaleStage();

Does Apple Pay for Ideas That Makes Their Products Better

Hello
I have been a PC systems engineer for eons, and have in the past few years moved to the Apple realm, Love it.
I have had a few patents under my belt, that I have sold in the past, and also have gotten paid to help companies make their products better.
I have an SUPER! idea to make an Apple product much better, that I feel will be welcomed by 100% of it users. Yes, 100%.
Any idea where to start with Apple. I have a few kids that still eat and go to school, and I paid dearly for my education. I feel that I should get paid for this, if they were to use it.
Thanks all.

I do understand your desire to obtain rewards for the work you do, but frankly, if your ideas pertain to the improvement of Apple's products through their system software or hardware, it's best for them to do it all anyway since for your ideas to work, they'll have to make implementations of them within their product development ecosystem. If Apple implement your ideas up-front, they have much more incentive to maintain the work afterwards, because it will become a part of their products.
However, if you have ideas that you can implement above the programming APIs of their system software, then I'd think it'd be better to implement your ideas yourself, and sell them as products at the App Store (or however way you wish to distribute and sell your ideas as products).
And you can control the use of your ideas much more wisely (by copyright, patent, implementation, whatever) as actual products that implement your ideas rather than just leaving vapour-trails of your thoughts.
Good luck in your endeavours! I can see that Apple do have ways for programmers to be successful (through the Developer Connection in particular), however, your first step into that world will have to involve registering as a developer and making a product for yourself which you can sell (Apple would gladly help you sell your products on the App Store) rather than as merely a contribution that influences or affects Apple's own product developments. Take a look at http://developer.apple.com/ to get started!

Is Adobe ever going to do a flash player for Windows 7 64 bit IE ?

I've had my Win 7 64 bit laptop over 6 months and still no sign of compatible
flash player for the IE 64 bit. Is there ever likely to be one ?

I read from Adobe's own site that they are working on the 64-bit version for most everything:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
They provide instructions for installing on Mac as well.
I imaging Apple (ahem, Steve Jobs) will still resist Flash on their products until they can get them to run smooth consistently, and even then they're not likely to allow it on their hand-held devices because they don't like developers using cross-compatible languages.

Does Adobe have actual support for their products?

Or does Adobe actually rely on these forums and/or for the customer figure things out for themselves?
First issue is that all video playback within Premiere CS6 stopped working ( periodically it works for a few days then stops again) . After trying all the recommendations (clearing out the cache, uninstalling and re-installing Quick Time, etc.) now the program does not even shut down and after forcing the program to close, it actually is still runs in the back ground using 1 gigabyte of memory.
I keep up on the maintenance of the machine (weekly and sometimes every day), install all the updates from Adobe, as well as the driver for the video card (directly from the vendor).
So has Adobe stopped provided updates for CS6 by coming out with the CC version? Perhaps the Creative Cloud subscription is not really worth the money since you get what you pay for value wise.
By just browsing through the forum, there appears to many issues, so how reliable is the product ?

Venting is fine, but really asking for help requires more information... and, as far as I know, CS6 is receiving NO further updates (but, since I don't work for Adobe, that may not be 100% true)
If you have an actual question, start with more information

It seems crazy to me that Apple has not released iBooks for the Mac!! Why would you hold out on such an essential tool for students or anyone wanting to use their computers and iOS devices for reading??
Has there been any new for a forthcoming iBooks for Mac?

No, and I doubt there will ever be. iBooks is only for iOS.

Creative ever going to make SPDIF onbo

I just wanted to see if there are others like me who would like to see cards with SPDIF built onboard. I used to have a creative audigy gamer in my computer but then I upgraded my speaker system to the Z5500 which has a SPDIF connection. I am now using the SPDIF connection that comes with my motherboard and won't upgrade until creative comes out with a sound card that has it built onboard. If motherboard manufactures are able to build it onboard why does creative have to have theirs on a seperate unit... I don't need something else filling up my desk... Just want to see how many people also want to see a card with SPDIF built onto it and not a seperate unit.

uhhhhh. Creative card have SPDIF output and that for a long time now. I suppose you talk about optical connection. Then why don't you use SPDIF coaxial to connect your sound card to your speakers?

You need to use form fields. See the Acrobat help section and this site: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/
However, that last part (receiving an automatic response when a form is submitted) has nothing to do with Acrobat, or even with the PDF file. This is something you'll need to set up on your web (or email) server.

In some folks' version of the world, you have plenty of ways. YOu have the aforementioned services, you have iCloud, all you need is an internet connection and you're good to go. And that works perfectly...if you always have the internet.
If you want more non-internet dependant ways, then the best way to let Apple know is to send them feedback. They don't monitor or respond to this forum (Beyond removing rule breaking posts) but they do at least log feedback. However, the lack of a file manager will always be an obstacle. There are some apps out there that have at least a pseudo file manager - as in the ability to move documents into multiple other apps. I have Readdle Docs which I can use to download and move things around with, but again, back to the internet or wireless.

Lightroom 4 DISASTER!!- What has Adobe done to this once great product

Lightroom 4: This is what happens when you try to produce a product that is all things to all people! Stills, Video, Book Publication etc The program is now bloated with too many modules and as a result it is far too slow for professional use (unlike Lightroom 3). Looks like an oppertunity for Aperture or Capture One.

This once great product probably wont change from the DISASTER that Adobe have made.
But they could have made iterations of LR
L4V for video guys
LER4 for beginners and amateurs
LR4B for those who want to make books
LR4W for those who make galleries
LR4P for the professionals and
LRWTF4 for those who wanted it to make the coffee and wash the dishes.
That is 6 iterations of Lightroom, each for $80. Then what happens if I want option 1 and 5... Hmmm, that is $160, Now I object as that is loads a money.
So they did not as they opted to make LR4 which is what they've offered us and we've bitched and moaned about through the testing and they've listened to us and made improvements, checked bugs and tweaked things here and there and now we have
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4
LR4 allows you / one to catalog your photos, to edit your photos to a new level that makes LR3 so last century, if you make books for clients as do many people, you can now do it through LR, you can even take images out from your videos shot with your high end VDSLR's.
It still prints for those who print and it still makes web galleries for those who do that.
You can put your photos onto a map and add that location to the images to send wherever you want online.
I'm gonna get my copy this weekend, and with great excitement. I'm going to print off a couple of prints of animals from the Kruger National Park where I've spent the last 3 days working. I'm going to tag ALL the photos with Kruger National Park, and I'm gonna make a new gallery for this shoot. As I charged a good sum for the shoot, I'm also going to make a book of the best photos and send that to the client, so they can put it in their game lodge, and my photos will be seen by all their clients from around the world. Hell, one or two may say
"Hey, there are some great photos, here's the photographers details, I'll see if he will sell me a print"
All for $80
BARGAIN,
