Not a question, an Adobe "virus"

I just wanted to put this out there. Last night, working on a project and adding the finishing touches, my Photoshop (creative cloud, just updated to the latest version) went into a panic mode, for lack of a better term. My computer didn't freeze, I didn't get any pop-ups saying there was a problem. I was working on an animation, merging each frame together and getting ready to put it into the frame animation. What it did was astounding, and if I hadn't watched it I wouldn't believe it had happened.
It began by duplicating some frames and removing others. It changed the tones of two of the subjects I was working with. It began creating slides of it's own accord almost, adding in shapes and moving them around. What was worse, though, is every time I tried to "step backward," it would do something different. It wouldn't undo the last step that I took, but added/subtracted/changed many different things. When I restored to a previous save, I found that this file, too, had been corrupted, and my other two saves and backup had also been corrupted.
Very frustrated and quite unable to redo an entire project in a few hours, I instead looked up the problem. I was able to find a certain case that was very similar, that happened with Avast and CS4, and then again with CS6. I do not use Avast, but it seemed similar to the problems I was having, so I did a clean uninstall and reinstall, and removed the Adobe groups from my AVG software. It seems to be working again, for now. So, to anyone having this problem, I would go to this link: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=122069.0 and follow the steps it provides, even if you don't use Avast. As far as saving the files, I do not know, so good luck there.
And, to Adobe, would you mind looking into this? It appears to be a longstanding problem.

That is OK.<br />
That means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default values.
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

    Hello, welcome to the forums.
    What you may not realise is that each Adobe product has its own specialist forum, and it's very important to choose the right one. This forum isn't about products, it's about comments on the forums themselves.
    So, please go back to http://www.adobe.com/support/forums.html and choose the right forum. But first, make sure you know the name of your product.

Also, check to see whether there are any "FAQ" (Frequently Asked Questions) sections in the product forum, and search for previous discussions about the question you wish to ask before starting a new one.

    this is maybe because users are directly forwarded to this forum when looking for a contact in the otn-contact page. i suggest to change the contact-site and the direct the users to the "forums home" page.

  • Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1  - which is what introduced the bugs.

    Hi
    I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
    http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html 
    He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
    le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
    I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

  • FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

    Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
    I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
    I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
    A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
    B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
    If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
    Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • Questions regarding Adobe Interactive Forms capabilities

    Hi,
    We have the following questions regarding Adobe Interactive Forms.
    1. Not able to create a text field with dynamic size according to the data entered in the text field in a form with Static Content type forms.   We use a scroll area, but cannot print content that is not visible in the scroll area.
        We currently have Designer 7.0 and 2004 SP 16. I tried to set “Form Properties -> PDF Render Format” to be “Acrobat 7.0 Compatible Dynamic PDF” but the text field did not grow dynamically.
    2. Another requirement is that once one form is accepted by the Customer, we need to generate a second, new form (with all user entered information from the first form) and the customer should be able to print the form.
        To implement this, we need to have a form that can support dynamically growing text field in some areas, and specific positioning of form elements for other areas. Can we have a dynamic form which lets the fields grow dynamically according to the data entered in the field and with specific positioning of elements?
    3. Sending emails from Offline forms – Requirement is to send an email as soon as the form is accepted by our Customers. But the Customers can complete the form offline. Is it possible to automatically send an email in an offline forms without having the user push the ‘send’ button from their email application?  Can the Adobe Form do that part automatically?
    Appreciate any help regarding above questions.
    Thanks,
    Kalyan

    HI Francois,
    Thank you very much for the very helpful information.
    1. I am able to insert now the floating field inside a static text but the text does not grow dynamically even when I set the form type to be "Flowed Content". Is it something that required Adobe Designer 7.0 and also 2004s ADS?
    2. I can still select only Flow or position content from the option but how can we use both in the same form? I am using Adobe Designer 7.0 and it allows to select only one. Is it again a problem in lower versions that I use?
    3. This is an excellent idea and I strongly believe this is going to work (am trying to create POC for this solution). The form should be able to call the webservice as long as the user is connected to internet.
    Can you provide your views on the first two points. I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Kalyan

  • RDS server message: could not initialize class com.adobe.rds.core.services.Messages

    I just moved to a new host with my own dedicated cloud server.  Using CF9.  Everything seems to be working fine with the server, but i get the following error when connecting to it via RDS through CF Builder 2.
    RDS server message: could not initialize class com.adobe.rds.core.services.Messages
    I get it when i first connect to the server, then if i try to access it again, it will let me in.  I also get an error when i try to open the first file.  Then its ok.
    I have no idea what it can be, i have not run into this on any other server that I have connected to.

    Hello,
    After 2 months of it not working for love or money.  I got a new machine and ColdFusion Builder 2 and started over.  It worked for a while.  Then when the trial version timed out a few days ago it killed it again.  With the same error.  So it is definitely something that gets “switched” within the code or configuration settings.   Rebooting about 3x seemed to fix it this time after entering the license number. 
    Yes to answer your questions below.  Yes, I did all those things below. Re-checked and checked numerous times.  Keep in mind the installation there worked for over a year then all of a sudden stopped.   I hadn’t changed anything at all.  And it just stopped dead, started throwing up that error. 
    I asked all the experts in my office.  One guy knows CF and Java inside and out and could not figure it out.  I searched the web and the issue is listed many times but with no real answers. 
    Thanks for getting back to me.  I am up and running with new machine.  But since I’ve seen the error on this machine now, I live in fear it will reappear and stop working.  So if you come up with any thoughts I would appreciate it. 
    Thanks,
    -Lyle

  • Just purchased and downloaded pe 13. While installing, I found out pe13 is not compatible with my OSX 7.5 system. Any Idea's on how to swap for pe 12? It's not available on the Adobe web site. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    daleroach
    Adobe is not going to swap 13 for 12. It is selling only 13 download as you found out. So, you are going to have to purchase 12 if you want to use that program. It may still be available at some retail locations, such as Amazon.
    If you are within 30 days of purchase and have purchase the download from Adobe, then contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat to get a refund. To do that, click on the following link

  • Question to Adobe: Ruling out non-Adobe viewers via Acrobat Javascript

    Hi,
    ***I would like to address this question to Adobe Acrobat developers:****
    I'd like to add a doc-level javascript (thru another script) that will check the viewer type, and if it neither Acrobat (6 and higher) nor Reader, the document will close.
    So I wrote:
    this.addScript("CheckViewer", "var viewer = app.viewerType;\
         if ((viewer !== \"Exchange-Pro\") && (viewer !==\"Reader\"))\
         {app.alert(\"This Document Requires Adobe Reader or Acrobat Version 10 or Later.\");\
        this.closeDoc(true);}");
    The script is correctly placed in the document, BUT if I open the document in Foxit Reader, for example, nothing happens just because Foxit disguises itself as "Reader". Is there a way to overcome this problem?
    I think, the best way would be to change the Acrobat Javascript API so that  app.viewerType values will be: Adobe_Exchange-Pro, Adobe_Exchange, and Adobe_Reader.
    I would appreciate your advice!

    As you understand, I am not for "breaking millions of existing PDFs". I just need a good solution for a serious problem that can no longer be ignored.
    If I were a Foxit developer (or an Adobe developer), I would tell you what is missing or fails quickly. That's the reason why at the beginning of the post I wrote:
    ***I would like to address this question to Adobe Acrobat developers:****
    In any case, I appreciate your input much!

  • Do SAP Security Notes contain hacker and/or virus defence?

    Dear SCN fellows,
    I am new to this community and generally new to asking for SAP help in discussions and blogs.
    I need some advice on whether SAP Security Notes contain hacker and/or virus defences?
    I am investigating a companies SAP Security settings against its policy and global market standards.  I have identified that since our SAP rollout SAP Security notes patches have not been maintained.  RSECNOTE provides a large list of missing security notes.  I'm writing a report and what to confirm whether these notes offer any advice, support or notification of hacking or viruses.  Similar to Internet security software I guess.
    Can anyone advise if my thoughts and questioning is heading in the right direction or have I got the concept of SAP Security Notes completely wrong?
    Thank you kindly.
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    I need some advice on whether SAP Security Notes contain hacker and/or virus defences?
    SAP releases respective security notes as per the loophole identification.  Once you run RSECNOTE you get the list of all applicable notes to your software release.
    Applying these notes will help you to remove the vulnerability SAP identified, So yes it contains solution to remove vulnerability.
    I'm writing a report and what to confirm whether these notes offer any advice, support or notification of hacking or viruses.  Similar to Internet security software I guess.
    Could you please elaborate it is not that clear to me.

  • LR3 download problems, Adobe Australia. Question for Adobe or anyone?

    It's been several days now since I online-purchased my upgrade to LR3 from Adobe Australia's online store. Serial numbers came through fine by email, no problem. However, when I went to download the file from the link provided in the Serial number email, another issue altogether - Akamai download manager installs then chugs away until 99% download, then freezes the entire system requiring cold restart to resurrect things. Have now tried this several times, always with the same result.
    The process does generate a file in the download target directory, called "Lightroom_3_LS11.exe.dlm", 164,378 Kb, as you can see it still has the .dlm extension.
    Question to Adobe or anyone else who might feel they know: has Akamai simply failed to remove the .dlm extension, and if I manually remove the extension, is the file likely to work?
    The 'alternative download method' on the download site provided to Australian customers seems to be  a dead link, nothing happens when I click on that. Will have to try Adobe Australia's helpline, but that is only 9am-5pm Mon-Fri so I have to wait until next week (it's Friday night here and Monday is a public holiday). No 24/7 help in Asia Pacific it seems!
    Note, I did check all of the security settings in IE8 for compliance with Akamai requirements before starting.
    Very frustrating, particularly after having zero problems with online purchase/download of all previous versions (I've been a constant user since version 1.0). The difference this time seems to be the Akamai download manager, perhaps particularly in its implementation on the Asia Pacific download site, as US customers seem not to be having the same level of problems?
    My system:
    Windows XP Pro SP3

    Just a further update re. my LR3 download problem:
    I managed to successfully download the LR3 update file using another computer running Vista 64. That computer was also running different antivirus software (McAfee Security Centre) so that may perhaps also have had an effect.
    So for anyone who may be be having similar problems, my experience downloading LR3 from the Adobe Australia website has been:
    Akamai download manager failed to download the LR3 update file on the following system:
    Windows XP SP3
    Norton Internet Security 2010
    Akamai download manager successfully downloaded the LR3 update file on the following system:
    Windows Vista 64
    McAfee Security Centre
    Cheers,
    David

  • Feedback, NOT a question

    Not a question, this is general feedback (and no email available to direct it to):
    PLEASE do not force download McAfee Security Blahblahblah when I am merely updating to the latest version of Flash.  I don't agree to it, you don't install it.
    'Kay?  Thanks.

    Don't use the GUI updater. Download the Adobe Flash Player "offline" installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Nothing in those but the Flash Player. Bookmark them. They stay the same even when the version updates.

  • I am unable to open any form. Any form/file I open states "not responding" This is adobe reader.

    I am unable to open any form. Any form/file I open states "not responding" This is adobe reader.

    Online and downloaded to my computer. There is no difference.
    browser is google but I also tried internet exployer...thats not the problem...your program is
    i just downloaded the most recent version..10.1...or whatever it is.
    i found this online:...how do I find the Adobe Readers X's 3d and multimedia settings...what tab do I click on..
    1) khwajakhurram I have tried your suggestion to uncheck the default "Enable hardware rendering for legacy video cards" setting and it seems to work!
    What is surprising is that Adobe Reader X's 3D & Multimedia settings report that the alternative preferred renderer modes are either software or DirectX9 .....on a Vista machine with DirectX11.
    The video card on this machine is definitely not legacy but a recent quality Nvidia produced card. That is also the case on the other machines with the issue I have reported.
    2) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html mentions that "certain configurations of anti-virus software that have not yet white-listed AcroRd32.exe" are "Unsupported configurations for Reader running in Protected Mode". Therefore I have also excluded AcroRd32.exe from virus scanning.
    I am now able to use both Protected Mode and Advanced Security without issue.
    I will experiment with various versions of this in the next few days and see whether both or just one of these remedies are needed.
    Update: I have found that performance is vastly improved by changing from the default preferred renderer mode of DirectX9 to the alternative Software setting.

  • Is Dreamweaver right for me? (also Question about Adobe courses)

    Hi!
    I'm a grade five student,
    who is wanting to learn about
    web design and animations.
    I already have Photoshop cs5
    but i want to learn about web design.
    Dreamweaver is the correct program right?
    I also have a question about Adobe Courses (Online)
    Will they go through, and show you how to set up websites
    with dreamweaver... Templates, etc. stuff like that?
    All comments appreciates.
    Thanks
    CG

    I am hardy the most qualified to answer this, but I'll have a go at it. First of all, I admire your ambition!
    Dreamweaver is a great tool, but it will not necessarily teach you web design. Once you have some basic idea of what goes into a web design, you will realy appreciate what DreamWeaver can do for you. I am going to pass on to you the same advice given to me when I first wanted to get into DreamWeaver and web design.
    I would realy suggest some basic HTML and CSS books and use a text editor to create your first pages. Once you start to undersatnd what you are doing, then by all means, get some DreamWeaver training. Everyone has their own favorite titles to learn the basics from, so I'll just say these are a suggestion and helped me get started. The Head First series was clearly written, has a good sense of humor and helped me get the basics. Check your Libraries, second hand book stores, or other resale outlets. I know you mentioned the Adobe Online, but I've also used, and like, the Adobe Classroom in a Book series. Once I learned a particular version, I found the Missing Manual series good for advanced questions and going to a new version.
    Don't get discouraged, stay with it and don't be afarid to try another book if you don't like the ones I've suggested. We all learn different ways and what worked for me may not work for you!
