Milo: "The settings you choose in Save Adobe PDF dialog...

Something has changed in CS4 for me on my XP based PC.
When I try to save a PSD as a PDF now, I get a box that pops up with the message
"The settings you choose in Save Adobe PDF dialog can override your current settings in the Save As dialog box".
"OK" is the only option.
But beyond the fact that I don't know why this comes up and that I'm taken to another screen with the title "Save Adobe PDF"
where I have to click "Save PDF", one of two things then happens:
1) I click Save PDF and no PDF is created in the folder OR
2) I click Save PDF, the PDF IS created, but my PSD goes away and I'm being show the .pdf file in Photoshop.
Hoping someone recognizes what could be behind all this.
In your response, please remember that I'm not all that much of a tech-y and my system knowledge isn't deep.
Thank you so much!

***You chose File --> Save As... instead of Save Copy. Normal behavior - the PDF becomes your working file,
*** but if you ever saved your original PSD, it will still be there.
I've pasted a number of screen prints at http://www.improventures.com/temp/temp2.htm including one showing
that my version (11.0) of CS4 does not have a Save Copy option. But I've been using Photoshop CS2 and CS4 for years
and I don't think I've ever had to do more than say "Save As..." and choose PDF to make a copy of the current
PSD as a PDF without leaving the PSD. It certainly works that way for .jpg, making a copy without leaving the
original PSD! But I guess it's possible that I've done this infrequently enough that I have that wrong...but it still doesn't
explain why I'm being taken to the "Save Adobe PDF" screen instead of the "Save As..." like I had been.
Or why I'm missing the Save Copy option you mention.
****Your PDF options have a conflict somewhere, so no file is saved. Hard to tell without seeing your settings.
I've pasted a BUNCH of those setting on the webpage above, hoping to help diagnose this because I'm sure stumped. Though I may have found it...I have a feeling one cannot create a PDF from a multi-layered PSD. When I saved a copy and flattened it, that version created the PDF correctly!
*** As for the warnings - normal and "good software design" Simply have them not show again by clicking the checkbox, if they are annoying you...
oh, now, I may not be tech-y, but that much I knew. :-) he he. It's not the fact that it's telling me this that's the problem. It's the fact that either I should only be taken to the Save As screen or that I think I have something "off" in my PDF settings, as you say.
Thanks, Myl!

Two fold question: My music library will not sync, any suggestions? The settings I choose for syncing on the summary screen will not save, suggestions?

I have the new iPhone 6 Plus. I have all the new operating systems. Since I received the phone I have been having problems syncing. I have it set to sync over WiFi. Obviously I have tried doing a hard sync with the phone attached too. However, overtime I tell it to sync, it looks like it is transferring all 4111 songs but then when it gets done doing it's thing it reverts back to what it was when I plugged it in which is only 2000 songs. I am so confused never in my history of Apple products have I had so much trouble. Can anyone help?
My second problem, why won't my settings save? In troubleshooting this problem I turned off syncing over WiFi and switched it to manual. When I plugged the phone in it reverted back to syncing over WiFi. That would normally not happen, the settings you choose stay until you change them. I need some serious help. Suggestions please?

After days of getting frustrated I finally found a solution: Don't use itunes to sync music. After going through pages of possible solutions (restores, syncing albums one at a time, removing all music, deactivating accounts, making a call while syncing and various other things) as well as trying to contact apple support (Which was a joke--They wanted to charge me $19.00 to get help for a problem with their software), I change my Google search terms to "how to sync music without itunes" and I found a program called CopyTrans Manager for free. It only took me a few minutes to add the new tracks to my iphone. It automatically organizes it the same way itunes would and you have the option to make your own playlists. Best of all it synced the first try! Itunes is now dead to me. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with all the free time I have since I'm not going to be spending hours banging my head at my computer ready to throw my phone out the window.

Cannot save Adobe PDF Settings File error

I'm using Acrobat X Pro with Windows 8. I've downloaded a .joboptions file to add to Distiller. I select Settings > Add Adobe PDF settings, browse to the file's location, select the file, and click Open.
Distiller says, "Cannot save Adobe PDF Settings File."
In the Start menu, I right-clicked Adobe Acrobat X Pro and selected Properties > Compatibility > Run this program as Administrator. It didn't help. Suggestions welcome.

I downloaded it from the linked website, and installed it successfully in Distiller 10. I don't know of a "Repair" utility for Distiller, so maybe you should uninstall and install Acrobat X in order to reinstall Distiller 10.

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Compressor speed depends on the codec you choose

Hi, add my cent to speed and quality issues.
Compressor speed depends on the codec you choose, Animation it's incredibly sloooow...that's not happening in QT MPEG2 export.
ah... tip: if software update blown away your QT MPEG2 export, reinstalling DVD Studio pro 3 the function is restored)
I don't know why they have thrown away MPEG2 export, introducing FCP Studio Pro and QT7, forcing use of buggy Compressor, though.
Trying to compress Animation files, Compressor hangs and takes time to refresh the preview window, at every change of pameters it needs an unusual looong time to go further.
That's not happening with all the other codecs.
DV, Uncompressed 8 or 10bit are fast as they expected to be,
if you keep an eye at CPU usage, when compressing Animation files it doesn't go up 15% agaist 50% or more with other codecs (in my Quad).
I don't know what's the matter here, surely a bug, but the problem is big because Animation was the most used codec for graphics and i have a lot of motion menus in that format, to encode.
A workaround is to convert all those file in Uncompressed 8 or 10bit (big storage required...) then batch compress all and maybe i'll be able to do the job faster than go straight from Animation to MPEG2 through endless compression time in Compressor.
I could use QT MPEG Export but loosing some functionality.
So do not use Animation for graphics!
That said about speed, what about quality...what's that pulsing halo and noise introduced in MPEG files?
I noticed it happens every GOP, pulsing halo and noise and is present in QTMPEG2 export too.
We all complain Compressor but the fault is not only in there but in QT itself and QTMPEGExport.component.
Come on Apple your defness is screming loud, developer team can't take all that time to correct those bugs!
We do not exist only when new gears are advised!
We are not dressing dolls all day here, we do it for living our customers pay money for good DVDs, we should pay as well for good and not broken pieces of software. right!
We all love Apples but also the greatest love story ending a day.

Yes, of course tweaking is possible.
Opening ports will probably not increase your bandwidth, merely diminish the security you seek, from your first statement in first msg.
Horrible wireless speeds? That's because you're on that 'b' speed (11Mbps?) router...but you knew that.
Get a real router, a Linksys/Belkin/Dlink. Beware of the hype surrounding 108mbps, or turbo. 1 WAN port, 4 ethernet ports, wireless "G".
And remember with your cable ISP, you have very few speed numbers that will be certain. When the neighbors are all downloading the whole season of "Lost" for their iPods...your download speed will feel slower. Upload speed looks like it might always be a fraction of your DL speed.
(get used to it).
The fact is, you may already "taking full advantage of your broadband".

Printing an html msg to pdf crashes the driver but I can save to pdf from Abat

I have a user on a windows 7 64bit with Acrobat 9. He's got a message that we've saved to an xps. It opens fine in outlook and in xps viewer. When I try to print it in either one it crashes the acrobat printer driver. But I can open the xps in Acrobat and save to pdf just fine. Huh?

Some useful reference material.
At http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
Acrobat 10.1 adds PDFMaker support for these Office 2010 64-bit applications: Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook.
Acrobat 9 and earlier users can create Adobe PDF files using the Adobe PDF printer.
For more information, see PDFMaker unavailable in 64-bit Office 2010.
(http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdfmaker-unavailable-64-bit-office.html)
n.b., Acrobat 9 just went to 9.5.2
Be well...

Save as PDF dialog popping under all other windows using Acrobat 9

One of my clients recently upgraded a bunch of their workstations to Windows 7 64bit Enterprise edition. Now when they try to print to a PDF by selecting the print option in any application and then selecting the PDF printer, the dialog box pops under all the other windows. The result is the application appears to freeze, as it is stuck at the 'now printing' screen. See the below screenshot for a sample. Meanwhile, the save as PDF dialog is still there and if you click on the blank icon you can see in the attached screenshot, the dialog will pop up and you can finish making the PDF.
Steps I've already taken to try to resolve this include: running a repair of acrobat, uninstalling and reinstalling acrobat and removing and adding the PDF printer. So far none of this has had any effect. I'm using the current (that is 9.3.2) patch revision for acrobat.
Any help/suggestions would be most welcome!

Are they really missing or there are place holders there? Have you gone to the preferences and turned on View Large Images? As an unrelated comment, do you really want images in a resume? Maybe if you are a graphic artist or such, but images are not common in most resumes I have seen and I would not expect such. However, that is really your choice, just wanted to comment.

From any running subvi('s), read controls and choose the ones you want to save to file

Hi all,
I now want to read controls from any running subvi('s) and save the data into a single file. I'm using subpanel to display the running subvi and use control reference to collect all the string-typed control and save the data to a single file. While that's cheating and ugly, because the host vi usually doesn't know what controls will be there in the subvi('s).
I'm wondering if there is a way to dynamically read controls from any running subvi and display all the avalible controls depends on what subvi is running, and let the user decide which data are to be saved. I attached the vi I have now, please give any comment and I thank you very much in advanced.

Hi thitchen,
without looking at your code:
with the VI reference you can get references of all controls on the VI's frontpanel. With that reference array you can collect all string controls in that subVI. The you should display a list to the user with the names/contents of those string controls so she/he may select which ones to save...

Is it possible to hide/show the "Do you want to save changes you have made?" msg

Hi,
Is it possible to hide and show the Oracle message "Do you want to save changes you have made?"
Thank You

Not really.
You have to use commit_form to commit the changes or a
rollback_form to rollback just before exit_form, clear_form,
or clear_block.
Or, use clear_form(no_validate), clear_block(no_validate).
It might be good to check wether there is some change in the
data and show an alert in your own language asking the user in
his/her own language wether he/she wants to commit the changes
or not.

Can you please restore the "would you like to save your tabs" option?

Until today I was using firefox 3.6 because I liked the style and way it operated, but I had to update because most sites I was using wouldn't let me access them anymore.
One of the things that was my favorite was the save tabs option. When I'd open firefox, all my tabs would be there already and I could instantly get to work.

I have also been trying to figure out how to make Firefox on my new computer behave the same way it does on my older computer. This must be the problem, you removed that functionality from the newer version. My feedback is that toggling between opening ALL of the windows and tabs I had open in my last session or NONE of them is really inconvenient. I liked very much the choice of restoring the tabs on the last window that I close. I do NOT like having several windows and tabs open back up with I re-launch Firefox. Please restore this functionality!! What you think was something that would really enhance the functionality has, in fact, severely restricted it.

HT5463 In my opinion, when the Silence setting is "only when the device is locked", it contradicts the settings you set above, like Manual. Can someone explain how these settings work together?

Can someone explain how these settings work together? Manual seams to contraduct the SILENCE setting at the bottom of the Do Not Disturb page. It's very confusing.

You should have seen information in the support document that you linked from. It used to be with the first version of Do Not Disturb that it would only function when the device was locked. That changed with iOS 7, and not it can be active all of the time. With it on Manual, it is on, but if you have the device "awake" that you can still receive calls/texts, etc. Sort of like you have the phone awake, so it isn't a problem for you to receive things. If you set the settings for Always, this means you can be doing things on the phone and not be disturbed by anything else. Does that make sense?

5d MkIII Shooting sports and the settings you use?

Ok, so I finally did it. shhhh don't tell my wife.
Yea, I pulled the trigger and let the giant moths out of my wallet and bought the MkIII ! I currently have a 7d and have been happy with it but just needed a new toy. Anyone out there relate? I basically shoot softball, Soccer and occasionally basketball. Here's my question to all you current 5dIII users. With this very accurate and sophisticated focus system what settings have you found works well for the sports you shoot? Softball starts March 8th and I can't wait to flex these new muscles!
Thx, I appreciate all your feedback

Check out Canon's guide book on the focus system -- it's fairly advanced and should help.

How to Permanently Hide the "Creating Adobe PDF" Dialog

When the default printer is set to be the "Adobe PDF" printer and an application creates a print image, the distiller (I presume) displays a dialog entitled "Creating Adobe PDF", with a "Hide" button.
How does one make the default to NOT show this dialog?
Thank you in advance.
Windows 7/Acrobat X Pro

This removes the "Creating PDF" box, but also seems to remove my ability to rename the documents. I need everything to perform exactly the same (including the rename and save to a specific directory), but I don't need Acrobat telling me it's creating a document as "Print to PDF" already tells me that. Thanks, though!

TURBOTAX 2014 CD DOES NOT PERMIT OFFLINE PRINT OR SAVE TO PDF. YOU CAN ONLY SAVE TO PDF OR PRINT IF ONLINE. BIG SECURITY ISSUE. INTUIT IN WSJ ARTICLE BLAMES APPLE, SAYING APP STORE SOFTWARE RESULTED IN THIS. TRUE?

Starting this year, Turbotax CD/download versions will not permit people to print tax forms when offline. If you try to print while not connected to the Internet, you receive the warning “There was a problem connecting to Intuit’s Secure Print Service. Please check your Internet connection or try again later.” Indeed, Paragraph 9 of the Intuit Software End User License Agreement states: "You may save your return as a PDF file and understand it may be processed on Intuit servers, not as part of the Software."
Even if you wish to protect your data by not exposing it to the Internet, Turbotax will not let you without sharing your entire return first with them. They prohibit you from only printing locally on home, cable-connected printers.
The result of this is that people who tried to be safe by never going online with tax data, are this year being forced by Intuit software to expose all their sensitive tax information files to the Internet and Intuit print server, even though they do not wish to. Turbotax is putting you at risk.
On Feb 19 the Wall Street Journal quoted an Intuit spokesperson blaming Apple: According to Julie Miller, an Intuit spokeswoman, TurboTax made the change “because the Mac product requires a special, third-party code library to support offline printing.” And she says, “based on Apple App Store guidelines, we could no longer distribute the third-party library with our software.” She said the change in the TurboTax Mac software was first made for 2013 tax returns, but last year customers had the option of printing returns without being connected to the Internet.
So is Apple to blame that I now have to expose my sensitive tax data to Intuit just to be allowed to save to PDF on my hard disk? And it's all Apple's fault?
Can anyone clarify this?

Thank you for this an the other posts. Particularly for Barney,
I have just discovered that Turbotax actually permits you to print (and save to PDF) documents from the Help
Center built into the program, even when you are OFFLINE. Works just like normal printing is supposed to. It just won't let you print actual tax forms. So I guess they were willing to violate Apple’s rules when you print information from their help center offline, but you just can't do the same with your own tax forms. Clearly this shows that what Intuit told Forbes was a fabrication.
They do in fact have the proper code in the program for printing and saving to PDF. They just deny you usage of that code for printing your tax returns, which they want to copy. I don’t think there can be any doubt about what they are doing. Surely they are not deceiving apple by allowing the limited print function?
We can only hope that a brave journalist will challenge them on this, since Intuit will not respond to customers.
Thank you for any views on this points.

My save as pdf dialog window has mysteriously disappeared. How do I get it back?

I'm using Illustrator CS5 on a Mac running Mavericks. I have made a bunch of images using a template and now I am wanting to make pdf of my images. I go "File" > "Save as" and then select "Adobe pdf" and click save. This used to bring up a separate dialog window that asked me things about how to save the pdf, but that has disappeared. I'm also using an external monitor on my MacBook Pro and I feel that this is the culprit. I'm trying to save my individual layers so that I can turn them on/off in Adobe Reader, but that function isn't available without the dialog box. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Also, without the dialog Illustrator beeps at me if I try to use it. I have to hit enter on the keyboard to save the pdf with the default parameters.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Sounds like the dialog is off screen. You can try to reset the Preferences by using Cmd-Opt-Shift on restarting AI. That might bring it back to the current screen.
