Is enable commenting grayed out in trial version?

I have a trial version of Acrobat X Pro, and
Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting and Measuring
is grayed out and not functional.
The trial says that it's a fully-functional version, so it's possibly something else. Any ideas?

Thanks for the idea, it looks like this particular PDF is secured with a password, so that must be why. If I open another PDF I can get the enable comments menu item to work.
I wonder if there's an easy way to put the content of the PDF into a non-protected PDF?
I seem to have other "save as" options, maybe a round-trip to RTF or HTML, then convert to PDF?

Why are menus grayed-out in trial version? how can I use the effects then?

why are menus grayed-out in trial version? how can I use the effects then?

Every piece of software has a learning curve, and its own terminology. After Effects is a complex professional tool, used by home enthusiasts right through to feature film makers.
There's plenty of very user friendly video editing software that will do the tasks you've mentioned easily. Might I suggest Adobe Premiere Elements.
For the record, you can't apply an effect to anything in After Effects until you have selected a target layer in the timeline. This functionality is true of any video editing or compositing software I can think of,

Scorm enabled content created in a trial version of Captivate 7

I am in the process of getting a subscription to captivate 7 through my school and have created some content to test in my Moodle LMS. When I go to view the content, I cannot view it. A window appears with the project skin but no content. Is this due to the content being created in a trial version?
Thanks,
dan

OK. If it's not even running in SCORM Cloud then something is definitely awry. Captivate normally runs very well in SCORM Cloud.
Is this HTM/SWF output or HTML5? That's something you haven't yet specified.
Was this course created from scratch in Cp7 or was it upgraded from a previous Cp version? If so, which version.
Have you tried copying all slides and pasting them into another blank Cp7 project file of the same dimensions? That sometimes strips out any corruption due to objects that don't have unique item identifiers.

How can I opt out of Trial version Elem 11? I do not see any prompt.

Need to get out of the Trial version Elem 11 so I can go to other Photoshop products.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean you don't want the trial anymore uninstall it via control panel (windows) or the uninstaller in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 (mac). If you mean you want to activate a trial as a regular version, just enter your serial number.
If neither of those is what you want you to do, more detail, please.

Enable hyperlink grayed out for text in stand-alone text box

I need to create hyperlinks to several webpages in my book.
I am able to do this by selecting a few words of text in chapters that were "inserted from a Word document," but when I create a separate text box, the menu is grayed out. I have tried selecting the whole text box as well as carefully selecting just the text. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

You're right dabienwa. If you select the text and it has a tight box around it inside the text box, then it's a box within a box. You can't hyperlink these. Deleting all the contents and entering them again solved it for me.
I discovered this when creating a new text box for a template, and entering some default text that I knew I wanted on every corresponding page. In my case it was "www.domain.com/" allowing me to fill in the remainder on each page and then hyperlink it.
I ended up deleting the text from the template so I wouldn't get the box-within-a-box problem, and pasting the common text in on every page. I could then actually make the hyperlink text a hyperlink.

No sound when video chatting - 'microphone enabled' grayed-out during chat

Recently, whenever I video chat there is no sound on the other end. 'Microphone enabled' is grayed out. It is not grayed-out when I am not video chatting. All sound preferences appear to be set correctly. This problem just appeared recently.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi
Would tend to work towards deleting that file as part of a process.
The original reply was quite long in the first place and trying to incorporate more "If that does not work... " statements I felt would only make it more confusing.
com.apple.ichat.plist
This holds all the info in the iChat Preferences except the Accounts pane stuff.
It also holds the results of a hardware check at each iChat Launch which includes checking the Internet Speed available and re-writing the .plist accordingly.
The Hardware Check also reads some info from the System Profiler info (at least the same places System Profiler gathers it's info).
This means if the System Profiler would not be able to "See" a Mic or a camera then any App cannot either.
Some of this info is held in the PRAM memory as are some volume settings and resetting the PRAM may have helped.
The reason I hold off suggesting the Deletion of the .plist is that it does hold so much info especially if you have changed the settings:-
Any Changes to the Font, it's colour, the background of the IM colour in Messages.
As Messages also show you any Background Pic you have for Text chats that gets deleted even though set in a Menu item
The Overrides of incoming IMs
Save Transcripts and and sub items
Which Mic is selected in the Drop down in the Video Section. Same for Output choices if you have them (and cameras if you have two attached).
The Menu Bar icon and it's sub items in the General section.
Changing to Available at iChat Launch.
In the alerts section anything you have set to a Different sound or to have an Apple Script activated.
As the above can be set individually in the Buddy list (Highlight a Buddy and then do a Get Info (CMD+I keys) and Alert tab) you also lose those settings.
Several menu choices such as Enabling Screen Sharing (Video Menu) and the Show items in the View Menu, plus the Message style (Sub menu item in the View Menu).
These are what I consider to be the more important changes/losses deleting the .plist involves as I have changes in most of them.
Obviously not everyone does the same and the effect for you may be less involved.
It is hard to pinpoint the .plist itself as the item that is corrupt as it reads so many things from other sources.
It is possible that it is not getting written to after an update for some reason.
Upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard can leave some iChat 4 info in there. Mostly these are just floating bits of info at this point, but can contain the path to reading something that got moved in the OS Upgrade.
At the end of the day, like any other bit of info on your computer, it can get given erroneous info. This is most like to occur if iChat is subject to a Force Quit or suffers an Unexpected Quit or a particular chat fails dramatically.
There have been no updates to iChat since OS 10.6.3 when it got updated to iChat version 5.0.3 so I don't see it as an "update" issue.
Summary.
It can be anything that causes it.
Of any changes to the OS then an Upgrade may be more likely.
Deleting the .plist is best reserved as a last resort as it holds so much info about settings you may have changed.
I have given you a list of many of the things that get changed.
It is most likely caused by some other info that the .plist has read into it by the iChat Launch.
Hope this explains things a bit further.
That's not to say that sometimes someone may post with enough info and clues to what they have done so far to suggest deleting it straight off.

Photoshop CC 2014 Extensions Pulldown Menu Grayed Out

I was trying to access the Kuler panel when I realized the Extensions Pulldown is grayed out. CC version is okay.

I didn't found any hint about that in the web.
I googled and came across this little gem buried deep in an Adobe Help article.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/generate-assets-layers.html
"Disable image asset generation for all documents
You can disable image asset generation globally for all Photoshop documents by modifying your Preferences.
Select Edit > Preferences > Plug-Ins.
Deselect Enable Generator.
Click OK."
So I figured the reverse steps (to enable) would work in your case
I never knew that Preference existed until you asked this question. The things you learn.

How can I download the trial version of Photoshop Elements on Windows Vista?

I am eager to try out the trial version of Photoshop Elements 7.0-however I can’t download it! I get to 99% downloaded and then get a fatal error telling me that there are integrity check problems. I am using Windows Vista. I have also tried removing and downloading it again but this hasn’t worked. Does anyone know what I should do?

Hi,
I believe your issue must be resolved by now, else you can try it again and see if it working fine now or not.
Also, this link might be of some help to you: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400530.html

Cannot get rid of trial version on desktop, whereas it works perfectly on laptop.

I have a problem getting rid of the "Your trial has expired." error. On my desktop, I've already ran out the trial version, when I've been on the year-long subscription to CC for about 3 months now. On my laptop, I have no problems with any sort of trial version popping up. I installed CC on my laptop about a month ago, and has been working fine.
I have:
tired uninstalling everything CC related (and reinstalled Photoshop CC about 3 times today)
cleared any cache that I could (including Adobe's clear cache download
logged out and tried it offline
tried to register the product from my laptop
anything I could find on the forums
I checked the hosts file and tried to edit it, but it's a read-only file (I do have admin rights).
What else is there for me to do to get Photoshop CC to work without reminding me about the trial verison on my desktop?
Win7, 8gb, x64, etc.

Hi Thunder3467,

Difficulty sharing screen--grayed out

I set my mother-in-law up with a Mac Mini so that I could troubleshoot problems when she needed help. The ability to share screens via iChat is the main way we want to do this.
But when we were both on iChat, the ability to share her screen was grayed out. Under her video menu, "Screen Sharing Enabled" is grayed out.
Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I can successfully share screens with others.
Is it an issue with the Mac Mini? Is a video camera and microphone required to share screens?

A Camera or Mic is not required to Screen Share although the Screen Sharing in iChat does include an Audio feed.
I have tried turning Off Share Screen option then selecting Microphone Enabled which in fact then Disables it. I can still turn On Screen Sharing again.
There is also a Show Audio (Video) Status (in the View Menu) which turns the Buddy Video and Audio icons Off. But these do not seem to effect things either.
Does she have System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming set at 1.5Mbps ?
She will need to Restart iChat if she has to change.
Having said this, in Leopard if left at Automatic, iChat would be limited to 384k anyway which would be fast enough for Screen Sharing.
At this stage I am at a bit of a loss as to a Fix per se.
I would get her to try a Restart of the computer whilst holding down the Apple Key + ALT PR keys together until she hears three start up Bongs.

Edit with command grayed out

Hi all,
One of my Flash designers is having an issue with his flash.
In the past, he was able to right click on a PSD and edit it via
photoshop, but now the command is grayed out.
The version of Flash is CS3 (we haven't moved to 4 yet) and
the Version of OS is 10.5.6 (latest with all updates of about a
week ago.
Any suggestions on how I would be able to get this
functionality back would be helpful.
Thanks
John Gibson

update: In an older file the option works... In his current
file it isn't working. If this helps.

Problems installing Captivate 3 Trial Version

Hi all,
Im experiencing a problem with the trial version of Captivate
3 - i install it and run it for the first time, and when i select
the trial option, the following error comes up -
"A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial
period for Adobe Captivate 3.
Click Quit to see if restarting your computer or
re-installing the software fixes the problem. Otherwise, click
Continue to display a screen where you can enter a valid serial
number to begin using the product without trial."
On clicking continue, it throws me back to the previous
screen, greying out the trial version option.
I reinstalled and restarted, and the problem persists. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Malcolm

Hi Malcolm,
The first thing I would do is to make sure that you have
disabled any anti-virus software you may have running in the
background. If you still encounter the same error message then I
would recommend you contact an Adobe Representative in your local
area. Alternatively you could also file a bug report using the
Adobe
Captivate Feature Request/Bug Report Form
I hope you get the issue sorted out soon.
Regards - Mark

Projects created in trial version of captivate 8

Hi
A work colleage has a 30 trial version of Captivate 8 and has created a project in it which we are about to publish on our LMS. But as I understand if their version of Captivate it is not fully licensed after 30 days the project will not work. However I do have a fully licensed version. So if I save the project in my fully licensed version, will that be OK and the project will be still there after 30 days. Or will it go away?
I want to know this before my colleague goes any further just in case the project will not work when the trial expires.
Thanks

Hi satija
Does that mean that if I create the source files (cptx files etc) in the trial version that I can then open and save these files in the full version and the content will not expire?
I want to make sure of this before I test out the trial version.
Thanks
Steve

Extigy usb audio ASIO driver trial version won't uninst

I installed a driver to enable ASIO that had a trial version that beeps every 30 seconds until you purchase the verification key code. I decided to try something else, possibly another soundcard with ASIO already installed (although the driver does work) and proceeded to uninstall the driver (usb-audio.com). It said there was an error uninstalling, to re-boot and try again. I tried this multiple times. I re-installed the Extigy software and drivers but the system info still says that the old driver is the main one ("manufacturer" usb-audio.com) AND THE BEEPING WON"T STOP!! It's driving me insane!! I sent a message to the manufacturer but have not heard back. I would rather just buy a new soundcard with ASIO than pay for a third party driver but would use this one or another if anyone knew where a free one is. Someone PLEASE help! The beeping won't go away unless I unplug the sound card!
Thanks!
Todd

Oh, you'll look for whatever string the driver you installed gave you. For example, when I once tried to install the nForce Audio drivers on my Sigmatel Sound card (which didn't succeed), I ended up with an extra item called "Nvidia ASIO". Creative's ASIO drivers show up as the following:
Creative ASIO
SB Audigy 2 ASIO
SB Audigy 2 ASIO [24/96]
