Problems with placing pdfs in CS4

I recently upgraded to CS4. I am having a problem when I place a pdf into indesign CS4. When I place the pdf the size of the pdf is changing. For example I am trying to place a pdf that is 3.5 in by 4.75 in. When I place it in CS3 it keeps it that same size. When I place it into CS4 it changes the size to 4.515 in by 6.125 in. I looked at preferences and import options. I've searched for it and I can't figure out how to fix this.

No problems like that here on CS4.
Are you placing into an existing frame or onto a blank page (creating a new frame for the placed PDF)?
If this is going into an existing frame, check the settings on the frame to see if that is causing the unexpected scaling.

PS: from the numbers supplied, it sounds like the content of the existing frame is set to 129% instead of 100%. That could be casued by the fitting settings mentioned by below.

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

Using a new PC with Windows 7. Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right." Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4. What next? I appreciate the help.

I have a disc in the same box that says CS3. I thought that was an older version. Should I try installing that disc first? It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate it.

It is looking for the qualifying product which entitles you to use the Illustrator CS4 update. Did you have an older version of Illustrator which upgraded from?

Problem with downloading PDFs

I have just downloaded a new version of Adobe Reader X 10.1.2 but can't download PDFs such as my electricity bill and t.v. licence

Thanks for your help. I’ve now sorted it via help from the site where I was trying to download the PDF from. The following action solved the problem:
·        Click on 'Tools' then 'Internet Option'
·        Click 'Advanced'
·        Scroll down to Security
·        Uncheck 'Do Not Save Encrypted Pages to Disk'
·        Click 'Apply'

Problems with some PDF files

Hi,
I have problems with some PDF files. After clicking on link to the file Safari shows me insted of normal document (which is working on Windows) hashes, numbers etc like it was a problem with coding or something. First I was using Preview, I though that maybe installing Acrobat Reader with plugins will solve the problem, but ofcourse it didn't. Did somebody has this same problem?

Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -app Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Quit Safari. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Problems with Playback in CS5, CS4 (gotoAndPlay command)

I've encountered a really frustrating issue a couple times now throughout the past year, both in CS5 and CS4. I get to a certain point in a project where it just seems Flash does not want to cooperate anymore. It's difficult to even explain what the issue is because it doesn't seem to be triggered by one thing in particular, and often produces different results. It's almost as if the file becomes corrupted.
Here's what will happen:
*I will create symbols and place each one in its own frame on the main timeline, so that I can see them easily. The assets will usually contain animation inside the symbol. When I'm working on a particular symbol, I will put a gotoAndStop command on the first frame of the main timeline, pointing it to the symbol I want to test. So if I'm making a tea kettle, and have placed it on frame 4, I will put a "gotoAndStop(4);" command on the first frame.
*At a certain point, I will start having problems with test movies using this gotoAndStop method, even if I don't change any the scripting. Sometimes it will turn off layers that aren't supposed to be guides. Other times it will show me a blank frame. If I replace the gotoAndStop command with a stop command on the particular frame I want, my project will display correctly.
If it were a relatively small project, I would deal with it and test everything with the Stop command. However, this is a fairly big, complex project, and in my experience, this issue seems to contaminate other files that these assets are copied to.
*I've double checked the scripts inside of the symbol, which are all simple "stop();" or "gotoAndPlay("label");" commands, and there's no error showing up in the Output window.
*The most random things will trigger this problem. Sometimes, it's adding a shape tween to the symbol. Other times, I could turn off the background layer in the main timeline by making it a guide, and all my other layers would show up. But this background layer shouldn't affect anything, as it only has a "stop();" command inside. I was able to fix the problem once by saving the FLA as an Uncompressed Flash Document (xlf). When I opened the new file, it would play back correctly, but eventually, it'd break again.
I was having similar problems in CS4 on another project. In one case, we discovered we could fix the problem temporarily by deleting a single tiny line in one of the symbols. Eventually, it would pop up again, though. Another time, I could fix it by blowing away all the linkage identifiers, but that doesn't seem to be working this time.
It's very odd. Anyone have any ideas?

She didn't export it for CS4. If she had it wouldn't be an INDD file. She needs to export to IDML and you need to realize that this document may not look like it does in CS5.
You do need to upgrade if you want to work successfully with this other designer. Worth noting, in case you don't, is that you cannot upgrade individual components of the suite. Personally, I recommend Design Premium as the best bang for the buck.
Here's why: http://www.theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml
You find a link a Amazon on that page, which as far as I can tell is the best place to buy with free shipping and for the most part no sales tax.

Problem with Copying PDFs to any application other than iBooks

OK here is my problem,
I used to be able to associated PDFs with other PDF readers (via iTunes > APPS > File Sharing). I just dragged and dropped and all was right in my world. However, all of a sudden this stopped working. I have no clue as to what caused this problem to arise. The only thing I remember 'doing' was adding some new apps.
I cannot use the PDFs through iBook, well I can but it doesn't meet my needs (highlighting, copying and pasting and adding notes). So instead I want to use PDF HD. I used to have on PDF Masker and Good Reader, but neither does what I want.
Suggestions?

Hello Sin K,
so proxy and Tomcat are located on different machines as well? Is the proxy able to commuicate with the Tomcat on the configured internal ports and is the proxy able to lookup the hostname you configured for the Tomcat?
For the connector, the proxyName and proxyPort should be the parameters the client uses to call APEX. So if your clients should call via http://proxyserver:8080/testsin/apex the settings would be
proxyName=proxyserver
proxyPort=8080Reason for this is that applications (e.g. the APEX Listener) generate there URL references with these parameters.
But does your proxy actually serve on port 8080? And is that port accessible by clients? Do clients accept cookies from that server?
In my case, there is only one 302 which redirects to http://host:port/apex/f?p=4500:1000:sessionid which is correct.
If you look into your first post request in firebug, what's in the request header?

Is there anyone having problem with Clone Stamp in CS4?

Good Morning, I am using Photoshop CS4 Extended with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. My computer is a Dell XPS 430, WITH 8GB of ram, 1.5TB of disk space, ATI Radean HD 4800 Series adapter with 512MB memory. When I bring up an image in Photoshop and click on Clone stamp I get the error message "could not use the clone stamp because of a program error." I can still use Clone Stamp, but with some wied reults. Sometime the middle of the brush turns bright white and do nothing. Again it will clone the item clicked on, but would move the spot being cloned. Other times when the brush is move from the spot being cloned it will clone other area without cliking on them.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 4 times. I have created a new account with administrative rights, which I unistalled and reinstalled Photoshop. Two of the times that I uninstalled Photoshop I also used the Photoshop script to make sure all of Photoshop were uninstalled. I have also cleaned the register of Photoshop before reinstalling Photoshop. Another item used to make sure there was no error with Vista was Windows cleanup installed tool.
Yesterday I checked my laptop and I am getting the same results as my PC. The most recent thing that has been updated on both the PC and Laptop was Windows updates and Camera Ram 5.4. Attached is a copy of a wierd result using clone tool. I just clicked on the image and the orange spot appeared. Is there anyone else who is having similar problems with Clone Stamp?

Have you applied the Photoshop 11.0.1 Patch?
Have you updated the video drivers?
If that doesn't help, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
(A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

Problems with saving pdf as a word doc

hello, i
recently upgraded to acrobt x pro, and i went to convert a one-page pdf into a word doc. i went to "file,"
"save as," "word document, and when i went to view
the word doc, the format/layout/font, etc. was completely garbled. what could i be doing wrong? thanks!

Your problem is likely with the PDF not having the tags that provide the format information you are expecting. Such information is not needed for the PDF, but is used for the conversion back to WORD. You could try converting a file from DOC to PDF and back to DOC with both a print to the Adobe PDF printer and PDF Maker to get the format info. See how they compare and you should get the idea.

Problem with saving pdf files to Mac

Hi All
I'm having a problem with pdf files. When I get sent a pdf fielder email I can open it with no problems but I cannot seem to save it successfully to my Mac. I've tried opening file and doing a 'save as', copy and pasting and dragging and dropping but I keep getting the following message
Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.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).
Any ideas how I sort this out?

Can you use your email client's Save Attachments feature to save the file?

Problem with thumbnails in Bridge CS4

I was having a problem with Adobe Bridge crashing on me when I was looking at a large amount of images - like all my 2011 images. I'd read online that I needed to purge my cache and delete my preferences by holding down the ctrl key when starting Bridge and choosing all three options to "reset preferences", "purge entire thumbnail cache" and "reset standard workspace".
I did this, but it really did not solve my problem. I'm still working on that. It did create a problem that all my raw files show up without thumbnails, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to regenerate these thumbnails. I've tried downloading the camera raw plugin and installing that again and it does not help.
My raw files are from a Pentax K100d and are pef files.
I went back to some old photos, in my 2010 folder. When it first came up it showed the thumbnail for just a brief moment. It then went blank and then up popped that stupid little flower icon that I seen when there is no thumbnail.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for your response.
I am running 64 bit Vista. I have CS4 and found that the latest version of Camera Raw that I could install was version 5.7. I found the install instructions on the Adobe site. As it told me to do, I downloaded the zip file for version 5.7 and extracted. I moved the Camera Raw.8bi file from the top directory into C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats and moved the Camera Raw.8bi file from the Win64 folder into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats.
Does this look right to you?
I can double-click on any of my raw "pef" files and I can edit them in Camera Raw, no problem. I can also look at the "about Camera Raw" and see that it shows version 5.7.
It just won't generate thumbnails.
This worked in the past. What happened to mess things up is a long story. I got a new camera, a Nikon D5100. What I did not realize was that this camera was too new for CS4 to be able to recognize. The updates that include this camera are only for CS5. At some point after I got this camera and came home with a ton of vacation pictures - saved as Raw + Jpg (so I had a ton of photos) bridge started crashing. I don't know if it was the size and or number of photos that I was trying to have visible in Bridge at one time or what. I started Goggling what could be the problem. I found one source say that I needed to reset the preferences and such and that I should start Bridge while holding the ctrl key and choose all three items to reset. I did this and my thumbnails that were there for all my old photos shot with my Pentax k100d went away. I just see a flower icon in their place. I've not been able to get them back. I have since moved all those big photo files to another folder and the crashing has stopped. Now I just have the problem that I caused.
What bothers me is that I saw a post here in this forum that says to never use the "purge cache" option from the edit > preferences box in Bridge. I can't find this post again. I have done this also before I saw that. I have also moved my cache to another location so that it had to create a new one. Still this does not work. I've restarted Bridge, rebooted, "purged the cache for the selection" and "generate high quality thumbnail". Nothing I've tried works.
Would reinstalling Bridge help? Do I have to install all of Photoshop? Do I have to uninstall first?
