Locking printing after 3 times

I'm looking for a way to lock my pdf after someone prints it 3 times.  I know how to lock the printing, but I'm trying to at least allow 3 prints.  I'm working with Acrobat Adobe XI pro.  Any help is appreciated.

Not possible.

    Does anyone know of a shareware/freeware application that will watch for locked/unresponsive applications and force quit and restart that application after a certain time delay?

  • Locked out after time machine - FileVault?

    This is a woeful chain of events...
    Several applications were bugging me to upgrade to Yosemite OS especially those connected with iCloud.
    Eventually I decided to install on both desktop and laptop. Laptop worked fine.
    Desktop wouldn't install owing to Hard Drive needing repair.
    Of course now I can't log in so I used Cmd R (OS X Recovery) and tried to repair the disk
    This wouldn't work. I created an external Mavericks OS disc to log in and backed up all my files just to be safe.
    Then I used the time machine restore to go back to my older Mac (before i started the Yosemite install)
    But now I can't lot into my main admin account (where all my most precious files are saved) as i get a message saying "Your home folder which is protected by Filevault didn't open. It needs to be repaired." Please click to proceed.
    Well none of this works. In addition, if I log in to another admin account (no problem with this - but no Filevault either) I cannot access any of the backup files I saved - the user folder has a "no entry sign (uk)" and all my music and photos and documents are invisible even though the folders are clearly holding a lot of data.
    So in short - Apple tempts me to update my OS. I'm given no preparatory instructions to perform before the install. The install fails. I use OS Recover and Time Machine. But I am still blocked out of all my files. I've spent 2 days trying to find a way to do this. Please help.

Since the Repair Permissions, neither TM nor I can access the external drive; when I try to open the drive in Finder, I get the following message: "The folder “FreeAgent Drive” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."
    Those two things shouldn't be related.

  • Photosmart C7280 locks up after printing only one page

    Recently, my Photosmart C7280 has started locking up after printing only about one page of any document. The LCD display just says, "printing....", and the only way I've found to clear it is to unlug the printer from the mains. It happily prints multiple copies of single page documents, but the only way to print muli-page documents is to do them one page at a time.
    I have the same problem from both my desktop and laptop.

    Thank you for the suggestion. unfortunately, it did not help with this problem. I ran the utility and it indicated that there were no problems with the printer.
    it seems likely to me that this is some sort of memory or buffering problem within the printer itself. However, I can't find any options on the printer's menu to clear the buffer or internal memory. I have tried 'restore factory settings' but this made no difference.
    The problem appears to be getting worse - while printing multiple copies of a single page document today, the printer locked up after just 3 copies. I had to rpint 20 copies by printing 3 copies several times over.
    Thanks,
    Anne

  • I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this? It keeps telling me that there are missing files, too. If I upgrade to Elements 12 or beyond, will this fix the problem?

    You can't sign in because there is nothing to sign in to. For PSE 10 the only sign in was to photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a year and half. Just skip the sign in. Reinstalling will not change this.

    PSE is locking up because it's looking interminably for the non-existent photoshop.com server.

  • Preview locks up every time I try to print a pdf.

    Hello all, got a problem that popped up this afternoon, hopefully I can get some help. I've been using preview since I installed lion last week without issue. This morning I was printing from it with no problem, all of the sudden now it locks up every time I try to print, I have to use option, command, esc. to get out of the program. I've been searching quite a bit and can't find a solution, would appreciate any help, thanks!

    I have been having this issue as well - permissions settings (in other posts) didn't fix it.
    I went into system preferences and set the default printer as a one of my brother printers instead of "last used" (which was pointing to my canon)... I can now print in Preview to PDF or my other printers but if i select my printer as the canon - it locks up again -so at least that narrows it down and i am now able to print to PDF (and my other printers) from preview. hope it helps somone to get access to other printers and the pdf functionin Preview (haven't checked textedit yet)

  • Restrict Output type at the time of Picking and Print after PGI

    Hi All....
    My business requirement is to restirct certain Output types such as LD00, LD0F etc. at the time of Picking and Batch determination and to print after PGI.
    These output types are triggered Automatically via Batch job scheduled via third party tool. All the complete Delivery process is Auto.
    Once Sales order is created the below process takes place.
    Auto Delivery
    Auto Shipment
    Auto Picking and Batch determination (Now in this step I need to restrict)
    PGI (Manually vai some custom program)
    Once the Picking is done all the Output types appear in Delivery Header output which are processed with a Dispatch time of 4. (Appeared as Green tarrif.)
    For the Output type LD00 -> 911 routine is added .
    This routine is triggering at the time of Picking and Batch determination.
    At this Point of  Picking I can restirct the output type by using the Routine that not to display in Delivery Header,  but iam not able to retrieve again at the time of PGI. Is there any option  to get the data of Output type at the time of PGI.
    Or is there any option for LD00 output type to dynamically select the Routine Number to trigger at the time of PGI. ( If I use Routine no 1 it will trigger at the time of PGI, but I cannot change especially for this purpose since this output type is used for multiple purposes)
    Pls provide me the solution.

    Hi Brad
    I can copy the code from routine #1 into my routine #911 inorder to restirct the display of output type in delivery header. But as mentioned by you this routine is not triggered at the time of PGI. ( I checked at the time of PGI )
    If i link my output type LD00 with Requirement #1 routine then it will be triggered at the time of PGI, but here the o/p is linked with Requirement #911.
    Pls let me know if any thing wrong i mentioned...

  • Why can't I print coupons after downloading coupon printer time after time?

    Why can't I print coupons after downloading coupon printer several times?

    Likely because the people writing the coupon printing software aren't very good at what they do.
    If you can provide a bit more details as to what doesn't work, that might narrow it down.

  • System lock-ups after upgrading to Tiger

    This topic was previously posted in 'Installation & Setup'.
    After 3 days (and 18 views) I got no replies.
    Maybe that forum was not appropriate, so I decided to try it in this forum.
    About 4 months ago I exchanged my 80 GB Hd in favor of an 200 GB Maxtor 6L200P0. One day later I upgraded OS X 10.3.9 to Tiger (retail DVD).
    At that time I experienced a frequent (several times a day) lock-up of my system.
    No messages, nothing, not even after powering down and restarting.
    After some time I figured out that the lock-ups occurred on Internet access. Clicking on a link in Safari, posting messages on Discussions. Even Mail locked the system a few times. Also Corripio (artwork and lyrics finder for iTunes) caused the system to lock.
    After that, I decided to perform an Archive & Install (first time after almost 4 years of using this Mac). Except from having to re-install a number of 3rd party apps. the system seemed to perform well. No lock-ups were experienced for a few weeks.
    Problem solved, I thought.
    Although far less frequent than before, I do experience those annoying lock-ups a few times a week.
    Here are my questions:
    What could be the cause of the lock-up?
    Is is advisable to perform a Clean Install? What advantage do I have of, it opposite to performing an A&I. I'm reluctant to perform a clean install at the moment, because I haven't found a few serials of commercial and shareware applications yet ( I know, I should have written them down :-/ )
    Any hints/tips to track down the exact cause?
    TIA
    M
    P.S. ( I do have a bootable complete backup of my HD on an Maxtor Onetouch II )

    Hi, M.
    1. You wrote: "What could be the cause of the lock-up?"The number of potential causes range from disk corruption or bad applications to serious hardware problems, such as a defective logic board.
    2. You wrote: "Any hints/tips to track down the exact cause?"I suggest treating the "lock up" problem — better described as a "freezes and hangs" problem — similar to a kernel panic as the basic troubleshooting and hardware testing steps are virtually the same. See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ.
    It provides a comprehensive roadmap which you should follow from beginning to end, in the order specified in the FAQ.
    2. You wrote: "Is is advisable to perform a Clean Install? What advantage do I have of, it opposite to performing an A&I."The term "Clean Install" does not apply in Mac OS X. That is obsolete Mac OS 9 terminology. The closest Mac OS X equivalent to a "Clean Install" is an Archive and Install with the Preserve User and Network Settings option, which it sounds like you've already tried once previously, but you may want to try again as part of the troubleshooting process I outlined above. See my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
    The other options are:
    • Archive and Install without the Preserve User and Network Settings option: This reinstalls the OS and wipes out both your accounts and your network configuration, but preserves the previous System folder.
    • Erase and Install: Erases the hard drive, i.e. Macintosh HD, and reinstalls the OS from scratch, preserving nothing: your accounts, network settings, and everything else on the drive are deleted.
    Of those two, and since you have a bootable backup, the second (Erase and Install) would be the second-to-last thing you would try, the last being taking the machine in for service.
    Good luck!

    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.

  • HP LaserJet 1320 requires user intervention to print after Leopard

    Ever since upgrading to Leopard, almost every single time I send a print job to my HP LaserJet 1320 (over the network, it actually connected to a PowerMac G5 in my office), it triggers an error warning (orange flashing light) on the printer. Pressing the main green print button lets the job print, but this is really annoying.
    I checked and Apple recently posted a note about the HP LaserJet 1200 having a very similar problem except that an error page was printed after each job. The workaround they suggest for this doesn't work with the LaserJet 1320 problem, however.
    A quick Google reveals at least one other Leopard using HP LaserJet 1320 owner is seeing a similar issue. And actually, as I composed this post, I found some 1320 owners in another Apple Discussion post about HP printer issues with Leopard. They suggested using the generic PostScript driver, but then I really like to have the ability to duplex.
    Nothing in the /private/var/log/cups/error_log file of note as far as I can tell.
    Any ideas? Any other people out there experiencing this problem who might have a solution (other than switching to a generic postscript driver)?

    Ok, I think I've figured a way to make the laserjet 1320 stop requiring "user intervention" (e.g. pressing the green button for every printjob).
    Try the following:
    Open "System Preferences" -> Choose "Print & Fax" -> Choose the Laserjet 1320 printer -> Press button "Options and Supplies..." -> Select Driver "tab" -> In the drop-down-menu "Fit to page" choose "Nearest Size and Scale" instead of "Prompt User".
    The chosen driver should be "HP Laserjet 1320 series", because the generic postscript printerdriver dosen't have the duplex option amongst other shortcomings.
    I find it odd that the lowest memory-option is 16-31mb of ram. The default configuration of 16mb is not IN that range, but maybe that is a little too nitty-gritty.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 only prints after reboot of my iMac

    I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 (A909a).  Not wireless.  After I reboot my iMac it'll print for a short period of time, thereafter it will not print or scan unless I reboot.  Typical scenario is that I send something to print.  After 40 minutes + nothing.  I reboot and it starts to print after the chime but before I sign into my account.
    Why is this happening?  Can anyone help?

    I installed the update from HP and haven't had any problems since!

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

  • Printer won't print after a few mnutes

    Printer will consistently print just after it is turned on, but will NOT print after about 3-5 minutes. Printer goes to sleep but will wake up with a touch of the screen. If I try to turn off the printer, it often will not shut down without having to pull the plug. So, when I pull the plug and restart, if I'm quick enough, I can print. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the software both from CD and download 3 times with no luck. We have tried using the rinter wireless and with a usb cable--no difference. The printer also gets lost on my iPad and iPhone after this short amount of time too. What can I do...I am miserable! I have owned nothing but HP printers since the beginning of time!!! HELP!

    HI Kathyju,
    Please check the firmware and if the firmware on the printer is older than the one mentioned in the link below, please upgrade the printer and check.
    The below link provides you info on how to check the firmware of the printer. If you are not using the one mentioned in the link please upgrade to the new firmware available.
    CLICK here to go to the firmware download page.

  • New iPad 3 locks up after taking a photo

    1 week old new 3 is locking up after trying to take a photo with standard camera icon that comes with iPad? Any tips? Have turned it off a couple of times no difference. Have about ten photos in gallery but each time we take a photo now iPad locks up and doesn't retain last picture taken. Other photo apps same thing happens.

    Thank you both for your swift replies. Had just turned back on again and backed up.  I couldn't find restore only reset. Thought I would then try camera before resetting and seemed to be operating again.
    Thanks again
