PC-Mac issues with sound in PDF created in Acrobat X

I posted part of this in the Reader forum but haven't gotten any replies. I'm not sure if this should be here or the PC forum.
I have a PDF slideshow that I created on a PC for someone to show to her class. She uses a Mac. She has downloaded Reader X and installed it. I don't know what OS she uses, either at home or in class.
I created the slideshow in Lightroom and exported it to pdf. I brought it into Acrobat and added a few slides in the beginning, plus sound that starts at the first Lightroom slide.The sound is an mp3 that I created from my own WAV in an old version of Audition. I have the sound set up as a floating window, to start when that slide appears. She reports that there is no box where I placed it in the slide.
I don't have a Mac to test with, so are there settings in her Reader that can be made so that the sound will play? She can play the source mp3 file separately. Short of that, is there something I can do in the slideshow to make it work on a Mac?

If it is Reader X on the Mac, it should play the same as it does in Windows. (There are no special settings, just the same ones you see in Windows.)
However, there's a distinct possibility that when she opens the PDF, it will open in Apple's Preview application which would NOT open it the same way.
You need to verify that she really is viewing it in Reader X. In the Mac Finder, have her right-click on the file and choose Open With and select Reader X, rather than just double-clicking on the file.

  • Issues with converting to PDF and zoom size

    I've created a Captivate file and converted this to Adobe PDF - when we have tested the output we notice a white edge on the left and bottom side of the document and encounter issues with 'zoom' on pdf - when its 100% its fine (apart from the white edge), but when we reduce the zoom it covers the project and exposes only a small amount of it.
    Any ideas?

  • Issue with Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit driver

    ,Issue with Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit driverw Hello, I have a 2004 Dell Dimension DIM900 and a couple months ago it began making a loud crackling noise sporadically. It sounds like real ear-piercing static, like when a microphone is being plugged in, only in short random bursts at alternating pitches so I originally thought my speakers were blown. I turned them off and decided to use a headphone set only to hear the same annoying sound.
    I looked in the sound settings and read that I have a Sound Blaster 24-bit internal driver in my system, assuming that information is correct.
    What can I do? I did the search and read the read on those X-Fi drivers that had a similar problem, but I didn't know if that was the same as this because the thread concluded that their problem was exclusi've to systems with Nvidia dual SLI graphic configurations and X-Fi drivers. ? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi IT5,
    May I know if this Li've! 24bit came pre-installed on your Dell computer or did you purchase & install the sound card separately?

  • New to Mac - Issues with imported Excel Docs

    Imported my Excel docs from my PC and they made the trip but when I open them, some don't work properly. I have some billing statements that I made with Excel templates. Whenever I open and try to save them, I get an error message:
    Users/JaneDoe/Documents/Private Practice/Billing Statements/Jones 2 16 05 MAC.numbers
    I'm having some issues with Word documents that have tables in them also.
    I love my new MAC but have many business forms that I need to use. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your answer, I suspected as much. I've been thinking about this and have decided that since those are historical files and not working files, I'll just leave them alone and create new billing statements using Mac. It's certainly easy enough to do.
    The Word documents, though, are a different story. I've scanned pages out of some manuals and many of the pages are questionnaires with tables to indicate answers. Some documents are multiple pages and every other page I view is blank. It's difficult and sometimes impossible to delete the blank page or move the table up. If I can't salvage these, I'll have to go back into the manuals and scan the pages all over again.
    And I don't want to partition my hard drive, run Windows parallel or invest in Office for Mac because that all defeats the purpose of my transition to a Mac in the first place - ease of use.
    Thanks again.

  • Issues with quality of PDF being made from AutoCAD

    I am having quality issues with the PDF after it is made from AutoCAD.  First, I'm creating a few spreadsheets using Excel.  I copy/paste them into AutoCAD and when I go to print the sheet to a PDF and view the preview before i submit it, the preview is great.  Once i make the PDF one of the spreadsheets' quality is great.   The others are showing extremely blurry and sometimes pixelated.  Im not sure what would be going on.  The spreadsheets are created the same way.  I'd attach a screenshot of the issue, but the wonderful "attach image" button is not working.  As a matter of fact, none of the tools for this post works.

    More than likely it is in the PDF creation end of things. If that's the case, you'll want to go to the forum for the software you are using to create the PDF.
    Before that, one thing you CAN check in Reader is Preferences>Page Display>REndering and be sure that smoothing preferences are checked.

  • Is anyone having issues with sound after upgrading RAM?

    I recently bought a 2009 Mac Mini with 1GB of RAM. Everything was working fine so I decided to upgrade the RAM to make running more apps a little smoother.
    I took it to KRCS (an Apple Premium Reseller) and they put in another 1GB stick. I took the MM home and booted it up but no chime. I loaded iTunes and songs wouldn't play. I couldn't even turn the volume up or down.
    After taking it back to KRCS they verified all the connections were ok and everything was seated correctly, however the sound still wont work. They ran some hardware diagnostics and they said that it is showing that there is a sound devicde present but it isn't showing any input or output devices once booted in to OS X.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this? Could it be a firmware issue do you think?
    Cheers,
    James

    Morning peeps
    As mentioned I booked my Mac Mini in with an Apple Genius to see if they could shed any light on the problem. So I saw a very helpful guy called James (go figure 8-)) who looked first of all looked to see if there were any reported problems by Apple. He also had a look around the net to see if there were any suggestions but unfortunately this all proved to be fruitless. He then tried booting from a clean drive to see if it was a software issue but this again failed, leaving him a little stumped.
    Finally after a few minutes of looking at verious hardware information he decided to look at the RAM as the Mac was reporting the new 1GB stick I had installed was from a different manufacturer. Again no luck and at this point I knew what was comming...
    "It doesn't look like I will be able to fix the problem today."
    After all his efforts he couldn't seem to solve the issue so the next stange involves replacing some of the hardware. He showed me that he had gone ahead and ordered a new sound board, the ribbin that connects it to the main board and something else which escapes me at the moment, all of which is covered under the waranty.
    So after all that the issue still remains. My Mac Mini is at the Apple Store at the moment and is awaiting the new parts to be installed. James was confident that it could be fixed with these new parts, however he did say that if it couldn't be fixed then Apple would replace it with a new one. He also mentioned that they would try and get the RAM upgrade working once the new hardware was fitted, but if that is unsuccessful he is going to give me the RAM back to get a refund at KRCS.
    I think I have covered everything there - sorry if I started to ramble a bit
    If you need any more information then I would be more than happy to help.
    Cheers,
    James

  • Message with sound for events created on iPhone

    For the past 2 years whenever I created an event in the calendar on my iPhone 3G (iOS 3.1.3) with an alert, this would sync over MobileMe and create an event in iCal with an alert of "Message with sound".
    Suddenly last week this behavior changed to creating iCal alerts of "Message" (no sound).
    I am not using the MobileMe calendar beta, just same old iPhone, MobileMe sync, iCal as always. I do not have a default alarm set for iCal (never have).
    Anyone know how I can change this back to "Message with sound"?

    I have the same problem, but I'm not using MobileMe. When I create an event in my iPhone4 (IOS4.1) with an alert, I want this event to show up in iCal with an alert of "Message with sound" after syncing with iTunes. Otherwise I have to check every new event that I created on my iPhone again on my Mac to change the alert type. Probably some people want it otherwise and would rather have the "Message" (without sound) type of alert, so the best thing would be to have the choice between sound or no sound on the iPhone when entering a new event with an alert.

  • Wierd issue with Sound Blaster Z and Windows 8.1

    I have just started having an issue with my sound card. For the past year it has been working perfectly fine with no issues. There have been no recent changes to the computer, but within the past week, if I am in the middle of a game or listening to music, the computer will once a day lock up, I then have to restart the computer. After it restarts, the right speakers, and only the right will not work, Center, Subwoofer, and Left side speakers work 5.0. I then go the Sound Blaster Z-series control panel and re-enable the surround sound. At this point the Center and Subwoofer cease to work, but the right side works perfectly fine. After a couple of resets the center and subwoofer still do not work. I then have to go to the back of the computer and change the cable for the center / subwoofer from left most to the second left most (as looking at the back of computer from the top side). It will work fine this way with all speakers working, for roughly a day then it will lock up again. I have to go through the same process, but move the cable from the second left most to the left most output for it to work again. I tried for the past two days to troubleshoot by removing all the software and creative drivers. Same issue after reinstalling with a fresh driver set. Any help, because this is completely annoying.

    Considering that there is already a ca0132 driver for linux, which was made to support chromebook pixel laptop. It should not be hard for creative to make that driver compatible with discrete cards and motherboards that make use of that chip. But Creative seriously dropped the ball on users and does not care about them. I do not understand this, because all previous creative cards are supported in linux. Steam OS and steam boxes are around the corner and Creative is missing a big opportunity.

  • Issue with Opening a PDF file

    We have just completed an upgrade of one of our servers executing Reporting Services.   The upgrade was from 2005 to 2008.
    After we have rendered a report and have it saved in PDF format, we start having issues.
    If we try to open the PDF by double clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader starts, but sits unresponsive and consumes an excessive amount of CPU cycles.    It never completes the open and we have to kill the Adobe Reader process in Task Manager.
    If we start Adobe Reader, and then use the Menu to do FIle -> Open, the PDF file opens immediately.
    We have attempted both methods using several different versions of Adobe Reader.    The issue occurs on all versions prior to 9.3.
    Since we are a service organization, we are unable to force our clients to upgrade to a more current version of Adobe Reader without providing assurances that this will correct this issue.
    Has anyone else seen this type of issue with opening PDF files rendered by Reporting Services?   And if so, what is the cause and how did you correct it?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    Please find attached a word document which contains the error that comes up when I try to open the PDF file. This PDF was e-mailed to me from one of the Safety companies that I receive e-mails from on a regular basis. I believe I am running Windows XP and the version of Adobe is Adobe Reader X. I hope this is enough info for you.

  • Issue with Upload of PDF

    Hello,
    I have converted an eFolio I received from my hotel into a PDF - and I can upload the PDF no problem and assign/attach to my expense report. However, when I am editing the expense report and try to "view" the PDF - the system does not apepar to recognize it and asks me to "save" the PDF (and it gives it a funny number also).
    In the end - I took a photo of my printed hotel receipt to make a jpg file and submitted from my mobile device - but we do need to resolve the issue with the pdf.
    The system seems to have no problem with the PDF it has of my itinerary. Also, when I open the PDF from my desktop - adobe acrobat opens no problem - so the PDF seems to be fine.
    Any assistance would be appreciated as having to print my eFolio so I can take a photo of it is a waste of time and resources.
    Thanks,
    Steve Monk,

    For a list of supported file types, please refer to the Help Center document "Claiming Expenses" > Main Tasks > Attaching Receipts.

  • Weird issue with sound control?

    I am not sure what is going on with my audio controls. I use MSI to control my audio (it's connected to the motherboard). The strange thing is, a crack appears on the "Reset EQ Setting" button.
    See link: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30673857&l=2041bbbec3&id=1458901123
    That wasn't there when I first got the computer. Is there any way I could reinstall this? What could have caused the "crack" to appear? Has this happened to someone else?
    I have also noticed that sometimes when I am playing music, the sound wavers, as if I am adjusting the volume slowly up and down by 1 degree. Is this an issue with my motherboard or WMP? Please answer both questions.

    If you can't find the model number, please look at the BIOS P.O.S.T. Status Screen and write down the full BIOS ID String as it appears in the following example picture:
    Example (taken from the second picture): A7375NMS V2.2
    The BIOS ID String will tell us a lot about the System.  In the above example, the following information can be decoded from the ID String:

  • NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 for MAC---Issues with Adobe Premeire

    Hello,
    Mac Pro (Tower)
    *OS 10.7.5
    *2.8 GHx Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    *16 GB RAM
    I've had a multitude of issues with Adobe Premiere on this system and I'm not sure what to attribute it to.  First of all: I have two MAC Book Pro's that run APremiere, with similiar specs and only 8GB of RAM.  These two laptops run APremiere flawlessly and it's because of this reason that I can deduce, that my 'tower' is having issues because of the NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 installed; it's the only difference, besides the RAM, that the computers have.  Has anyone had issues using the NVIDIA QUADRO 4000 before?  Some of the issues I've been having are (please note, these issues are random, happen at random times and on random projects.  The majority of the footage I use is MOV (from DSLR cameras) and MP4's (from a Sony EX-1)):
    *Renders crashing
    *Slow clip playback
    *An oddity: certain MP4 files will go out of sync-on playback from APremiere and even in a VLC player
    *AMedia Encoder crashes
    Maybe the NVIDIA has nothing to do with it?
    Thanks for your time and help.
    Tim S.

    Maybe the NVIDIA has nothing to do with it?
    One way to accrue evidence would be to turn off Mercury Playback in the Project Settings.
    I have that card, and turning of MPE often gets me through a session.  Some here have claimed that the card is the cause of the frequent Serious Errors, and disabling it is the solution.
    That's hardly satisfactory when one of the best features of Pr is the ability to use CUDA.
    However, anything going through the card also has to pass through Pr and the OS.  Adobe claims that updating to 10.8 fixes some bugs, but according to some here (myself included), not enough.
    I had one project recently that I couldn't get the Serious Errors to stop until I re-installed the nVidia driver.
    But, your list of problems could be due to corrupt Pr preferences.  If you have a Mac, you need to get used to refreshing your prefs several times a day.  They could also be corrupt media.  That will cause renders to crash.

  • Not a question -version 7 has issues with sound.  Period.   Admit it and put out a fix

    There are known issues with version 7 and sound issues on the Iphone.  Apple - please fix it. 

    I'm of the older generation and even posting these messages are foreign to me... however i have read several posts of this very same issue after upgrading.   The phone rings but no other alerts sound.  It will repair itself after reset but that is short lived.  This affects ITunes as well.  

  • Issues with downloading a PDF Portfolio

    I have been trying to open a PDF portfolio from a website for work documents, and for a couple of days now I have not been able to get Adobe to work the way it should. When I open the document on the website it tells me "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in
    Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." I have downloaded Acrobat and it still will not open.
