Problem Converting Trial

I am having a hard time converting some trial software. I had been operating Acrobat, Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop trials in Vista on my PC laptop. Since the trials expired, I have upgraded to Windows 7 and purchased CS4 Design Premium. I just went through the installation process and the installer told me that it did not need to install the four programs that I had used as trials. The installation went smoothly and I entered the serial number on my DVD case successfully. The programs that I did not install as trials seem to operate just fine. However, when I try to use any of the programs that I had first used as trials, I continue to see the window that tells me that my trial has expired and I need to enter a serial number to continue using the program. My new serial number from CS4 Design Premium is deemed invalid whenever I try to enter it to make these four programs operational.
Is the solution as simple as uninstalling these four programs and going through the installation process with my new CS4 disks once again? If I do this, will Adobe read this as two installations? I still need to be able to operate CS4 on another computer, so I can't use up both of my installs to figure this out.
Any thoughts?

If you did an inplace upgrade from Vista to Win 7 all bets are off. NEVER upgrade an operating system.
The only safe way to handle it is with a clean install.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Problem with Trial

I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 directly from Adobe as it is the latest version my Mac supports. Upon start up, I am greeted with two options: a) I have a serial number for this product. and b) I want to try Adobe Photoshop CS3 free for 30 days. Seeing how I am simply looking to evaluate and have not purchased said product, I selected option b.
However, upon clicking "Next >" I am greeted by an error. "Problem with Trial" I am left with nothing but wasted time. This is the first time I have ever installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 so I do not understand why it will only allow access with a serial number. Any help to allow me to try this software is appreciated.
Thanks.

Could the trial have a time bomb in it that prevents use after several years? There's not much of a need for Adobe to allow trials to run for so long after the product's life cycle has concluded.

"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3"

Hello,
I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message:
"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help.
I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Having problems converting pdf to word. I'm not able to convert the file, what do I need to do?

having problems converting pdf to word. I'm not able to convert the file, what do I need to do?

Hi prates77,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble converting files. Are you receiving the conversion error regardless of the file that you try to convert? Does the error occur whether you use the web interface, or convert via Reader? And an odd question: how many files do you have stored in your Acrobat.com account? We have seen reports of this error when there are a large number of files stored in the root folder of your Acrobat.com account.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Problem converting Excel Charts

I am using Acrobat 9.3.4 (pro extended) and MS Office 2007 service pack 2. I am having problems converting the charts in Excel. The charts in Excel are vector, but when I print to the Acrobat driver or save in Acrobat, the graphs are converted to a low quality bitmap. Any ideas how I can preserve the quality of the original graph? Any idea how I can preserve the vector drawings?

I suspect the upgrade to Excel 2007 is at fault here, but I have not found any settings to get my old functionality back. I posted the same question to an Excel board, and they referred me to a similar thread, which sounds like other people are having similar problems.
It looks like some older version of Excel was having trouble when people used "save as pdf" (Excel was resizing the graphic and moving it off the page.) To eliminate the problem, they seem to have changed their graphics creation engine from vector to bitmap.
I have an older version of Excel (2003 sp3) at home, and the pie charts, for example, are clearly being created as vector drawings. In Excel 2007, they appear to be bitmaps created at screen resolution, which in my case is a fuzzy mess because of the need to resize the drawings. On the Excel board, there is a link to a "hotfix" but I don't know if it is the same issue. I will post the link here if it works.
I tried beating my head against the keyboard, but it has not helped.

Problem converting graphics to hyperlinks in pdf's

I'm having a problem converting grapics, words or phrases to hyperlinks in exported pdf's. The only thing that converts is a complete URL even though the test for source and destination work perfectly.

In Indesign if you want to generate a PDF you "export". You have two options: Print or Interactive. If you use Interactive it will include hyperlinks by default. If you choose Print you need to check it:

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Problem downloading trial version of Lightroom 4

I am trying to download the trial version of Lightroom 4 for Windows (English), but nothing happens when I click on the "Download" button. This is very weird. I am a current user of PSE 10, and I would like to see if I should also get Lightroom 4, because I find that the Organizer in PSE is too slow, and hope that Lightroom would be much better from comments I read on the Internet.

Thanks. It worked with Google Chrome, but was not working with Internet Explorer.

When you click Download, the download should start automatically. It could be that a pop-up/download blocker/anti-virus is preventing the download. As a first step, you could try using a different web browser to download from the following link: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroo m

Problem converting word 2010 Document

I am having a problem converting a Word 2010 document using Live
Cycle Designer ES2. I get the following
error msg:
Word (version XP onwards) could not be found
Word 2010 is installed.

I have just run into this issue myself. At first I thought it might be that LiveCycle is not yet fully compatible with Office 2010 but after doing some googling it seems there are plenty of folks out there successfully converting Word 2010 documents to PDF.
As a temporary workaround, you could try a copy of an earlier version of Word should one be available to you.
If I'm able to find a solution to the issue, I'll let you know promptly.

Problem converting to mpeg4

I'm having a problem converting my music videos to mpeg4...they are in MOV format so I am able to put them into itunes, and everytime I try to "convert selection to ipod" it converts it very fast but when I try playing the video it just shows a white screen and doesn't play at all (on itunes or the ipod). Anyone know why this is happening!??

I also have this problem, but it appears that the problem is in the QuickLook implementation of Quicktime.
If I actually open the MPEG4 with QT or VLC it plays back at the right speed. Just upload it to YouTube and it should be fine.
Hope this works for you =)

Problem Converting AVI (DV) to MOV (DV)

I have a number of AVI (DV) files that were previously imported on my PC, which I want to covert (using my Mac) to the more Mac friendly MOV (DV) file format.
I read that the best way to achieve this is to open the AVI files in Quicktime Pro and to convert the files to MOV using “SAVE AS”, as opposed to “EXPORT”. I understand that the benefit of using “SAVE AS” is that there is no recompression of the DV stream and that only the Container is changed (which results in a lossless conversion).
The problem is that the new MOV (DV) file is significantly larger than the original AVI (DV) file. For example, the size of a 13.5 minute clip increases from 2.95 GB to 5.88 GB.
I wouldn't expect such a significant change in file size if only the Container is indeed being changed.
I have also tried MPEG Streamclip to do the conversion, but I get the following message when I try to open the AVI (DV) file “File open error: this movie file is not supported”.
I have confirmed using Gspot that the AVI (DV) file is a 'Type 1' as opposed to a 'Type 2' file. Gspot also indicates the following information about the file “Multipart OpenDML AVL (3 parts). I don’t know if this is relevant.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE PROBLEM SOLVED:
I was able to fix this problem by following a reply that I received on forum.videohelp.com. Basically, I was able to fix the problem by using a program called DVdate to convert my AVI (DV) files from Type 1 to Type 2. Now all is well. Here is the link below to the answer.

PROBLEM CONVERTING MSWORD & MSPROJECT TO PDF!

Hi,
I'm running Vista, Office 2007 (inc. MSProject) and have Acrobat 8 Professional.
I'm having all sorts of problems converting. I don't know whether its someting to do with the pathing, since I first installed on D drive, rather than C. I just copied the entire Adobe folder from D to C.
The program allows me to convert URLs to PDF. But every time I try to convert a Word Doc, or MS Project Document, even small ones, I keep getting error messages, or it just freezes on 10%... Or says it can't do it... I'm getting so frustrated...
And yes I've run the repair, rebooted, but still have same probs...
Can someone please suggest something!

Do you have the Adobe PDF printer listed in the printers. If so, then print to the Adobe PDF printer (don't use print to file, the printer is set to ask for a file name or create one on the fly).
If you do not have the printer, then that is your problem. The Create PDF button will not work without the printer.
AcroTray is necessary for the printer to complete the process of conversion to a PDF automatically. If it is not active, then you have to print to file and then open the prn file in Distiller to create the PDF. From you statement about the missing PDF files, it likely is that you do not have PDF Maker installed correctly. Try the printer and if that works, then you have a PDF Maker issue.
