Problems with Apple Preview filled forms and compatibility with Windows?

Anyone else having problems with Apple Preview filled out forms and compatibility with Microsoft Windows after Lion?
I've had it happen recently with two different people, where the data I had entered on a fillable PDF form could not be seen by Microsoft Windows, but I saw my data just fine.
I don't know what version of Adobe Acrobat they were running.
Thanks,
kt

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

Fill-in PDF forms and save with no error messages. How?

I've saved a Reader Extended PDF enabling form fill-in and save, but users report error saying, "WITHOUT THE OWNER PASSWORD YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO SAVE THIS DOCUMENT." What do I need to do enable them to fill-in and save with no errors?

BTW, most users of this form (which was created in Adobe Acrobat v. XI on a Mac w/iOS version 10.7.5) have no problem with it. Only certain users (on Macs) have this "password required" error show up. How do I make it workable for everyone, including these Mac users?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

How is compatibility with creative cloud products (Photoshop and Illustrator) with Macbook Pro? I am making a big purchase and would love some feedback

how is compatibility with creative cloud products (Photoshop and Illustrator) with Macbook Pro? I am making a big purchase and would love some
feedback

Hi Frederick,
You're spending a lot of money. I will add my 2¢ -- -- but you must, as I assume you know, fully research your options.
Environment:
Start with your workspace (inc. lighting) and your clothes.
Screen:
The iMac screens are lovely, but not, from what I hear, monitor-grade accurate. For critical color work, use NEC or Eizo monitors. I use NEC, with their SpectraView II software and an X-Rite ColorMunki photospectrometer. At the time, this was the least expensive color-calibrated workflow.
Printer:
Epson's are great, imho. I use a 3880 in my studio and rent a 9900 by the hour when needed. I have read of problems (iirc) with one of the printers in the 7000 line, however. The take-home lesson that I filed in my brain was, "If you're going to spend the money on the 7000 line, just get the 9000 line."
Aperture workflow:
Aperture is a fantastic workflow tool. Since you are adept with PS, you should set PS as your external editor. Use Apertures formidable tools for storing and organizing your Images, and its robust editing tools for either all your proofing, or all but your most demanding editing needs. That said, allow a good bit of time to get the feel of Aperture. It is not at all like Bridge. But your important choice is which RAW converter you want to use. There is, imho, no reason to use Aperture if you are going to use Adobe's (or anyone else's) RAW converter.
Good luck!

Appleworks docs and compatibility with iWorks application?

Appleworks docs and compatibility with iWorks application? Does it exists? I do not have iWorks and will soon be upgrading my op sys to 10.4 (it really is in the mail) I currentl have 10.2.8
I use AppleWorks a great deal. Does iWorks replace it? or enhance it?
Will AppleWorks be upgraded or is 6.2.9 the last iteration?

Welcome to Apple Discussions SYGWS
iWork (no "s") is not an application, but the name given to the package of two applications, Keynote & Pages.
Keynote is a presentation application that can open AppleWorks 6 presentation files & PowerPoint files. I haven't use Keynote other than to view a few presentation. You probably can find a lot of information by searching the Keynote forum.
Pages is the word processing/page layout application in iWork. Pages is able to open AppleWorks 6 word processing document as well as Word, text & RTF documents. It is not able to open any other AppleWorks documents or older Word documents (I'm not sure how far back it goes). Pages 1 (iWork '05) will not display floating spreadsheet frames in AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, Pages 2 can. Pages 2 has limited spreadsheet functions available in tables (as does Keynote 3, both in iWork '06). Pages can export as PDF, Word, plain text, RTF & HTML (HTML export is disappointing to say the least). It cannot export as AppleWorks (any version).
No one here knows for sure if AppleWorks will ever get another update & those that do have signed non-disclosure agreements, but it is extremely unlikely. In the iWork ’05 press release iWork is said to be "building the successor to AppleWorks."
Many users here, like me, use Pages for what it does so well & AppleWorks for what it does that iWork doesn't (at least not yet) - databases, spreadsheets & drawing.

Deploy Forms and Reports with Load Balancing

I am trying to determine what we need to install here. I have read OracleAS, Web Cache, Application Server, and
Forms documents and have no answer still.
We are currently run 9iAS with Forms and Reports 6i only.
I did not do any of those installs. We are migrating to
Forms and Reports 10g. I need to setup an OracleAS 10g
Forms and Reports application server with the ability to
do Load Balancing over 2 windows Web servers to handle
4,000+ users. The application database will be on its own
Windows server.
Do I need to install the Infastructure, BI, and Web cache?
Or just Oracle 10g Application Server option? Or other?
Do I need to install it on both web servers and do
something like clustering? Do I need to install Web
cache? I just took the 10g AS class and basically did not learn anything about deploying Forms and Reports.
Can anyone give me a place to find the things I need to
install and setup?
Thanks.
Kim

I am a DBA and have not done an iAS or AS installation
before but am now required to learn it. We will be using
SSL and no load balancing hardware. We setup for other
customer sites and setting Windows servers in the past.
We have not done load balancing before.
I am just confused with all the 10gAS options there are to
install to just run 10g Forms and Reports and setup
OracleAS 10g with the load balancing features.
So I just need to install OracleAS Forms and Reports
Server if I am just installing Forms and Reports with SSL.
But if for Load Balancing Oracle 10g I need to cluster
just Reports 10g? I thought I would need OracleAS10g
installed on my two Windows servers and somehow cluster
or let the two know they are the same web page handling
the incoming requests? I do know about Apache redirct. Is
that an Apache feature and is it covered in an Oracle
documentation? They did not cover it in class either.

Apple "fixed" my ipod and returned it Windows formatted

Apple "fixed" my ipod and returned it Windows formatted - is there any way to get it back to Mac formatted so it can get updates?

Restore it on your Mac. Restoring will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

In Acrobat Pro XI, can I limit the form I created to "fill in and print," with no saving or signing?

I created a fillable form from a word doc using Acrobat Pro XI.
When I look at the form in Acrobat Pro, I see the following at the top of the form:
If I look at the form on a computer running just Adobe Reader, this is what displays at the top:
I just want users to fill out and print this form. The instruction that Adobe Reader is giving is confusing. Can I modify those instructions, or change the file properties of my form somehow to limit to "fill out and print?"
I don't recall encountering this before in earlier versions of Acrobat.

Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner. Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

My office uses windows based computers setup with a server setup. Can an apple server emulate or find compatibility with an apple server or apple computer linked to the server and allow full file sharing and printer sharing with pc's?

I have 11 computers all pc's linked to an old windows server and all used primarily for microsoft office and printer sharing as well as for internet browsing. Can an apple joining the setup cause compatability issues?

HI,
grey-haired IT guy here, old enough to come from the counter culture. I ran (COO, including IT & compliance) a third billion dollar financial institution all on Macs 15 to 20 years ago. All the "experts" had a long list of reasons it would be impossible, and it drove the examiners nuts, but it's only gotten better.
So your benefits are going to be mostly in ease of administration after the learning curve, less aggravating glitches, better overall reliability, and arguably better security. And reductions in cost and improvement in time to implement changes.
In my current environment of mostly dozens of PCs, the moment I let the OS X Server be the domain master controller, the Windows network browser settled down and instantly showed network neighborhoods like it should have. (We may have some forgotten pre-NT machines plugged in somewhere -- this is NOT a financial institution).
Couple anecdotes might explain the feeling of coming in out of the cold: Putting a test copy of a web site from the cloud onto the Mac server, XAMPP or MAMP is pretty much already there. The site has a couple WordPress blogs, and they need .htaccess files, and Apache needs an option set to permit remapping URLs. After much searching far and wide to find why it didn't seem to be working, I found the checkbox right there on Apple's management screens. Much easier than editing .conf from command line. Linux web admins hate it.
Tale # 2: We aren't fully Windows domain controlled -- just using the old network browser. Need to upgrade that, and I Googled quite a while trying to understand what needed to be done to use Apple's Open Directory instead of setting up an Active Directory on Windows -- both SLDAP3. Turns out one reason I couldn't find much is there isn't much to say: it just works. Just join the domain from a Windows machine.
One more and I'll be quiet a bit. We use the Wiki collaboration which is nice enough as far as it goes (no spreadsheets, fatal flaw) and it occupies the server's native web site slot. So the test copy needed to be another site. Easy enough -- site setup is all GUI and works fine, but WordPress could not handle a multiuser blog coming to a non-standard port (other than 80) so I needed a second IP multihomed on the server. How do you do this? Go to Network in the System Prefs, click on the Ethernet interface and select "duplicate". Set your IP address. Done.
In summary a Mac OS X Server is a better server for a Windows shop than Windows Server 200x.
My bottom line for choosing Apple: lower blood pressure. I SHOULD be money. After all is said and done, it's about money. The incredibly more pleasant experience is a free benefit. You'll pay more for better hardware, but way less in time and trouble. And you won't be hounded on a daily basis to update the system. Not that Adobe or Firefox are any better about it on a Mac, but the Apple approach to updates stays in the background.
Think different. Simplify. Focus. Enjoy your work.

HT5622 3 updates in the store wants to update with apple id from former apple owner. How can I turn of those updates?

I have a second hand Imac. Super! But I alway get notice that there are update for me, from apps that the former owner has purchased. I want to update with my own Apple Id or do not want the update notifications. I tried to remove the app and install it again, but that did not remove the problem.
Can somebody give me advice how to solve this? In Dutch language or English.
Best Xmas wishes

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot remove the update notification. The only solution would be to remove those apps and do not install them anymore unless you buy them with your Apple ID.
If the apps you cannot update are iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, you should know that the first owner did not do things properly, because that could be solved simply by deauthorizing your Mac from the old owner's Apple ID. After doing that, you would be able to register the apps with your Apple ID and update them free of charge. If this is your case, contact with the old owner and tell him/her to contact with Apple to deauthorize the Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If the apps that require the update are other ones, remove them. You are not allowed to run them, so if you want to run them, buy them with your Apple ID

Tried to download itunes and now my iphone does not even work.I have been on the phone with apple for 3 hours and it still won't work.I have a service pack 2 in this land computer and it won't upgrade .I do have the latest verision of itunes.Then we put

I tried to download itunes to my phone.First it wanted it to download the new itunes.We also updated our Windows xp.I kept coming up can't complete because there was an error when setting up.One time is was error 9 and they tried to help me.I have a laptop with the internet and we tried it there.We were able to get service pack 3 downloaded.So we did upgrade the itunes on the laptop even though I have never put music on there but there is some from someone .I never heard of many of the songs.Any how I did try to download and restore on the laptop and then come to the land computer and see if the box comes up to restore the contacts.Well it didn 't work and now my phone won't even turn on .I have no one to call if something happened to me.I am going to the Apple store right off the bat tomorrow morning.I have everything in the box and the phone and reciept and see if they make it work or give me another one.I have to take my sim card again since They gave it back to me.I bet it means I can't sync the photos in the phone.Even with 2 computers and talking with 3 people it still did not work.All because I wanted to download the itunes to my phone.I don't care now if I can just get my phone to work and my contacts are in there.I hope I don't have to buy the ringtones again I bought 4 of them.Any one have this problem and what did you do to fix it?

The Apple rep tried both those ideas and both failed. The rep was connected to my computer so she
could see my screen and show me exactly what to do. My iPhone (not ipad) never has synced photos to my computer,
I have to use explorer to copy and paste or cut and paste them to my PC . It is the syncing back to my iPhone of only the much smaller selected photos that used to sync in itunes but now the itunes sync button cannot be clicked to make that happen. And the reason I only sync back selected photos is that my total PC pictures file is about 40 Gb. Also I find it a lot more useful to have a small number of folders ( no sub-folders of course) so I can quickly locate on my iPhone pictures from different categories such as family, autos, etc. None of this posed any problems for over a year until just recently. I am reading on other threads of many people with other iTunes syncing problems, and wonder now if it is the latest iTunes updates that are causing the problems? While I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes on my PC, I don't know how or if you can, install a previous version?
