Not good support of Adobe!!
I recently asked Adobe to suggest a way to me in order to purchase Adobe Dynamic Link separately and with the whole package of Premium Suite.
There are thousands of clients that bought Adobe Premier because that's what they needed at the the time they bought it and after, let's say six months, they decided to start working with After Effects, so they purchased After Effects too. They might already had Photoshop. So thes clients (like me)own Photoshop, Premier, After Effects and many other Adobe products like Media Encoder, Adobe Encore e.t.c., but they don't own Dynamic Link because they didn't purchased the Premium Package. For examble I have everything except from Soundbooth and Dynamik Link. I will purchase Soundbooth but I cannot buy Dynamic Link because it is given only if you buy the Premium Package. So I have to pay again for buying all the products which I already own and have paid for them.They cannot give it away by itself. That is not good and it is very bad support fot those thousands of clients that purchased the products one at the time.
Here is their response.......

I see......
You are telling me (I am referring to the company and not you personally of course) to purchase the Adobe suite Premium package, alt
hough I have already purchased all the programs it contains except from Dynamic Link and Soundbouth. That is to pay twice for produc
ts I have already bought from your site. That's not a very good proposition.
Thanks anyway. Maybe I made a mistake choosing Adobe products.
The problem is I cannot return the softwares in order to get the premium package.
I am a client who has purchased a lot of products from Adobe, so try to find a way so I can have Dynamic Link. Otherwise I will have
to report this to the Internet, because I am sure that there are many clients that bought one product first and after sometime an o
ther, without buying the whole package from the beginning. So, if you would like to offer good service, you have to find a solution
for these clients too.

Yes, that was an upgrade path to me. Now, this IS a "one-way street," but with individual, qualifying licenses, there are several "suite" (that could also be listed as "sweet," but that is MHO) upgrades available. With most (perhaps all? Will be listed in the specs., so check) of these suites, one will get ADL, probably Soundbooth, Encore and On-Location, plus other products. This will differ by suite.
Now, it does mean that one ends up with a few programs, that might already be in the stable, but the very latest versions. I cannot recall the exact price to upgrade, using my AI stand-alone license, but it seems that the full CS2 Production Studio suite cost me about US$1400. In that, I got PrPro, Encore and AfterEffects, which I did not already have, plus upgrades for PS and AI. I did the math on what it would have cost me to upgrade all my individual Adobe programs, and it worked out to AfterEffects being free. Not a bad deal by my calculations.
Now that I HAVE done that upgrade to the suite, I cannot go back and upgrade just individual products. That came as a surprise to me, but I'm sure that it's spelled out in the fine-print, you know that 1pt. type, that no one reads carefully?
Good luck, and I hope that one of the suites will work for you perfectly. If you are thinking of upgrading any individual products, please check out the suites carefully, as you will likely save $, or at least get something new in the bargain.

Cannot open adobe reader file............could not open because it was not a supported type file...........or damaged by email.... What support does it need????
Impossible to say. All we can know is that it is NOT a valid PDF file.
You could take a look. Try this.
1. Open the file in Microsoft Word (or NotePad).
2. If the file is good, use it - it was a Word (or text) file.
3. Otherwise, look at the first few lines. These will probably be gobbledegook.
4. Copy and paste the first few lines into your reply, perhaps someone will recognise what the file really is. -
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I've just discovered that with the newest version of iTunes you can no longer delete iPod Touch/iPhone apps you don't want. You used to be able to do so by going onto iTunes on your desktop computer and deleting them. Not Good! I just called tech support and they said that in this version there is no way to delete them. They also said there have been numerous complaints about this. You can't even delete them from your applications folder. It's as though you're being held hostage to apps you tried, but do not want.
While we're on the subject, I don't like the fact the the iPod touch comes with unistalable apps such as: Passbook, Nike & iPod, Newsstand, and Game Center. Don't want them, will never use them. Give customers the option to delete apps that we don't want. Call Apple's corporate customer care. escalation, and complain untill they fix this.Actually,

I am using a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.5, Safari browser. Previous versions of Adobe Acrobat have worked fine for years.
WGCWhat's the name of the file you are attempting to open? Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"? If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension. Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

Multi Touch not supported in Adobe Air for IOS?
Hi, I've just started developing my first app for my iPhone which is an iPhone 3GS. I'm using CS5 to make these apps.
I did a simple test game where there are two arrows on the screen and a fire button. The screen also has a ground and the player standing on it which can be controlled with left/right and fire. Now, if I press right, he moves right, if I press left, he moves left, if I press fire, he jumps... BUT no matter what I do I can't make dual touch work, ie: I press right AND fire, it only recognize just ONE touch point. So I did alot of researching and didn't find much. I thought maybe adding a TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP which I found a guide on on this page: http://openexhibits.org/support/gestures/1/one-finger-tap , but couldn't make it work, so I found this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/multitouch_gestures.html and it seems Adobe Air for iPhone only allows four different gestures, no TouchEvents. I found a code somewhere that when run it checks to see if the device it's running on supports TOUCH_TAP stuff and in CS5 I got the message that it is not supported, in Adobe Device Central I get it's supported, on the actual phone (yes, got dev license from Apple and all that and can run my apps from CS5 on my iphone) I get it IS supported, but it doesn't work when I try it for real.
So, my question is: how can I make Adobe Air using CS5 to detect 2 finger presses at the same time in iPhone apps? Like pressing right+fire at the same time, so it doesn't just detect ONE of them being pressed.
Thanks a million for any reply.Before listening for TouchEvents like TOUCH_BEGIN, TOUCH_MOVE, TOUCH_END etc... you need to set the input mode of your device to TOUCH_POINT. By default it is set to GESTURE.
This works fine on the iPAD:
import flash.ui.Multitouch;
import flash.ui.MultitouchInputMode;
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, touchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, touchMove);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, touchEnd);
private function touchBegin(te:TouchEvent):void {
// your code here
private function touchMove(te:TouchEvent):void {
// your code here
private function touchEnd(te:TouchEvent):void {
// your code here
Hope that helps. -

Adobe Reader could not open 'images rest 12-4.jpg' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
that is the message how do i correct this problemIt sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X -

Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?
Obviously your download was not successful.
What is your operating system? How exactly do you download such files?
