Quick question for a fledging acrobat user

Hello all,
First I apologize for what I assume will be an elementary question. I am new to Adobe Acrobat and I have been given the exciting challenge of converting all of our business documents into fillabe PDF forms.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and I have some knowledge in acrobat just  from learning and reading and trying things on my own in my attempts to get the owner to buy adobe acrobat. I was able to download a free trial and to convert a form we use to assess a client's financial situation into a fillabel PDF and show it to my boss (the owner) which convinced him to open up the coffers and purchase Adobe Acrobat X Pro for me.
I am interested in what books and or adobe sponsored classes I should take in what order to become more proficient in adobe with the end goal being to obtain certification. I have been given the go ahead for most of this to be paid for by my company but I want to ensure that I am taking the appropriate classses and being financial responsible. There is such a wealth of information and choices that I am hesitant to choose without some guidance.
All feedback is appreciated, hope everyone is having a great week.
Paul McBride

One more thing. There are two different types of PDF forms you can create with software included in Acrobat 10: Acroforms and XFA forms. Acroforms are what you create in Acrobat and XFA forms are what you create in the separate application LiveCycle Designer. For a good discussion of the differences, see: http://acrobatusers.com/blogs/thomp/so-what-difference-between-acroforms-and-xfa
I'd suggest beginning by concentrating on Acroforms. Move to XFA forms if you need to take advantage of what dynamic XFA forms provide.

  • A very important question for every After Effects user

    a very important question for every After Effects user, from product manager Steve Forde:
    http://adobe.ly/1exI6tI

    Tom Daigon Great idea everybody! Encourage Adobe to do ONLY ONE THING with AE for 2014. Since theres not a heck of a lot of development that can be done on the present foundation, they can really stretch the rental scheme out for many years.And once you get used to the concept, every year they will do ONE THING to placate you. So now they have you swallowing no "ownership" of software and limited development. 

  • Quick Question For Mastering

    Im getting music mastered and the M.E. told me to send him a data cd with the wav files on it. Just to be clear isn't a data cd a CD-RW?

    It's an equation from Economics.
    With any service industry, the larger the quantity of items to be provided, the better the service to the customer.
    On a different tack, you could have your portrait taken by a top photographer, & you could be sure that whatever equipment or procedures they used you would be getting their full professional attention & the benefits of their expertise. But if you went into a bus station photo-booth, literally no-one is going to pay any attention to your particular requirements.
    I have had plenty of clients take their mixes to incompetent rip-off merchants who called themselves Mastering Engineers, & plenty take their mixes to duplicators who told them that Mastering was included —or possibly extra!
    (I find out about this sort of thing after the event, since I don't provide duplication as a service, even as sub-contracting.)
    Generally speaking, if you are producing a small run for demo purposes, your budget is going to make you potential prey to the predators at the 'unscrupulous' end of the "Music Business".
    Of course there are good & bad engineers & businesses, & conscientious ones as well as unscrupulous; but there is a tendency even among the conscientious to make a low-budget job quick & easy for the client rather than risk the possibility of confusing them with unfamiliar requirements & terminology.
    IOW, if they want a CD to play their Mum, & they've heard that they need to have it "Mastered", you don't waste their time & yours making them learn loads of new stuff. They won't enjoy the experience, & frankly they don't deserve to be made to feel inferior just because they're inexperienced.
    I'm all for education & encouraging people to learn useful techniques, but what do we say to bullies?

  • Question for Digital Media Mac Users on whether a Mac would make sense??

    Hello once again, and thank you for reading.
    After trying to figure what lower-priced Mac that I could afford for school...I am left with this question for some of you graphic designers and website designers.....
    If I already have a WInXP machine with a AMD x2 5050e, 2 GB Ram, Soundblaster Audigy, and a ATI x1650Pro video card.......
    Is it worth investing in a Mac to begin with? I would like to learn more on the OSX and the Mac in general as it is still highly used in the career field...I have seen job descriptions where knowing a Mac was a definite plus.
    The Mac I could afford would not be more powerful than my WinXP, just different (and yes, more stable). (mini, G5, Dual g4, etc)
    Comments and Advice from the experts out there would really be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Brian.

    If you just want to learn the Mac system, why not try to find a used model? If you already have a desktop PC, you could go for a few-generations-old Mini, and use your current keyboard, monitor and mouse (provided they're USB and not PS2). You could even get a KVM if you don't want to be fussed swapping cables around. Check eBay and also lowendmac.com for prices. If you think you'd prefer expandability, a used PowerMac G4 should be around $200-300.

  • Quick questions from a new ATV user

    Hi guys
    I've got today my ATV, like it so far...until i updated the software
    now seems that when i play a video, the video freeze for few seconds, then it starts again; is kinda annoying especially when you watch a trailer; anyway seems that is random, so nothing that can be done.
    My questions:
    1)why i can't copy stuff on the ATV like i do with my ipod touch? is annoying that it takes hours to copy a movie, when i could connect it via usb and get the work done, instead of waiting 2 hours to sync few episodes of a show (i have an airport extreme....).
    2) how can i pair the remote with the ATV only, instead of causing issues to all my MACs at home every time that i try to use the ATV?
    3) is there a manual somewhere, except the 3 pages manual available online and in the box?
    4) i saw a lot of hacks to play divx and other video formats....any chance to see an update from Apple instead of void the warranty to install these hacks?
    Thanks a lot for the help...so far i like this little device, but i am surprised about the fact that the usb port is there for no reason...while on the airport extreme can be used to attach drives and printer any mod to attach an external storage?

    Thanks for the answers
    1) by ethernet cable you mean a cross cable between the mac and the ATV, or a simple connection with the router (Airport Extreme)? because in this case i have to unplug the tv and move the ATV in another room...not really practical
    2) tried, but even when ATV says "paired", i can still interact with my macbook and mac mini....annoying
    3) that was the small manual that i was talking about nothing more complex or in depth? or whatever i see is what i can get unless i hack it ?
    4) i understand the point; i just want to know if to get the full potentials of this product i have to hack it, or if there is a "regular " update that would enable some features (since someone compared the ATV to a stripped down Mac mini with Tiger on it); anyway for now i can live with it as is....the only hassle is to convert from DIVX the movies via QT, and takes about 1 hour for a 2 h movie (and 2 hours to sync down to the ATV lol)
    Thanks for your answers!

  • Some quick question for solution manager in 2 system landscape

    First of all is there any way to not implement Solution manager but to still be able to patch the system.?
    i really need it only for this.
    If there is no way to avoid the solution manager, tell me is the saprouter the only way for connection to SAP for the patches download. I don't need anything else for now.
    IS there a way to use a direct connection to SAP,?
    do the sAP router has to have 2 NICs where one is the public and one the private IP?
    i need to solve this one quickly so any help would be appreciated
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    you do not need Solution Manager to patch the systems but you need Solution Manager to approve download basket for downloading pacthes.
    Information regarding the connection to SAP can be found at:
    Note 35010 - Service connections: Composite note (overview)´
    Hope this helps.

  • 2 Quick questions for a portfolio

    Hello I have 2 questions that Im stuck in on this HTML Camara portfilio templete I bought. Mine is not WP my version templete is HTML
    Link is here:
    http://joinpixels.com/themes/wp/camara/
    Working in Dreaweaver CS6
    So my first thing Im stuck in is as you open the site there is 2 slider images side by side I want to add 2 more ( 4 )
    I copied and pasted  the code to repeat, then chnaged the name so I did everything that I know Im doing but some reason
    is not working it wont show the other 2 images I want to add.
    the code is below so anyone can see and hopefully someone can tell me what I did wrong or forgott to add
    My second thing Im stuck in is,  right under the slider images is another section which is ( ABOUT ) which shows 3 square images and 3 square content boxes
    now as you have it in split view in dreweaver everything is fine all 6 sqaures but as soon you do Live test in dreamweaver or even drag your index.html to a browser
    the 1st image and the content box with the 1st image does not show up but the est shows up just fine.  Everything looks good in the codeing in dreaweaver nothing is missing.
    So Im totally stuck on whats happening here.
    Im attacking a screen shot that the first image is gone with the content box.
    under that is the code for that section. Below that is the code for the slider images.

    Thanks,

    1. I think that's normal. Both the clicking noises and the song switching delay happen with my 60Gb.
    2. You probably have some songs that are not compatible with the iPod, or you some songs on the iTunes that have some problem (have that exclamation point on the left side).
    Nothing to worry, you can rest easy.

  • Quick Question for MapViewer

    Hello,
    I have simple questions regarding using MapViewer with Orace Spatial :
    1- Can we specify overlapped images tiles with MapViewer? Does MapViewer support overlapped image tiles georeferencing or it has to be absolutly non-overlapped images?
    2- In the pymarid zoom level specification, is it possile to define the max zoom level so that it's correspond to the actual resolution of the images tiles?
    3- Does the Mapviewer generated images tiles are saved into the Oracle spatial database or into the machine where MapViewer server is running?
    Thanks very much for your help?
    Rafiou

    Hi Rafiou,
    1) note that to visualize GeoRaster objects in Oracle Maps applications, there is no need to match the zoom levels of the GeoRaster with the tile layer zoom levels. MapViewer automatically will get the closest GeoRaster level for the current tile layer zoom level.
    But, as mentioned on the previous post, you may be able to use the GeoRaster pyramid zoom levels and define equivalent tile layer zoom levels. You can first compute your GeoRaster pyramids, and later define the tile layer zoom levels definition. The GeoRaster pyramids will have resolution values for pixels. The tile layer zoom level has a ratio scale. Therefore, you need to transform the pyramid resolution into a ratio scale in order to created the tile layer definition.
    Lets say a screen with 96 dpi (dots per inch), and a GeoRaster object with spatial resolution at level 0 equals to 30 meters. The equivalent ratio scale could be computed as: 30*96/0.0254 and the result can be used as the scale for the more detailed zoom level of the tile layer. You can repeat the same approach to find the ratio scale for the other levels.
    2) You can create some dynamic themes on your application at run time, but if you want to persist the data you may also store the information in predefined themes. For annotations you can create annotation text themes. An annotation text element can have a text plus a leader line. For circles you may have point geometries with markers (can be a marker representing a circle).

  • Several questions for first time Aperture user

    Hello all, first time user here. Downloaded the trial and am thinking about purchasing the full version. I have a few questions here;
    1. If I click buy to get the serial number, after authorizing the program, will the "Trial" word disappear from all the menus and setting? And will the library name changed from Aperture 3 Trial Library automatically to just Aperture 3 Library?
    2. When I start importing photos from camera into A3, will I be able to use iPhoto to view or edit if I delete the original iPhoto library? In short, will iPhoto be able to share the same library when I start using A3?
    3. After importing all existing photos from iPhoto, should and can I delete my iPhoto library?
    4. Will I be able to use and install A3 on both my laptop and iMac at the same time or is it restricted to 1 computer?
    Thanks all.

    I don't think it will change the library name, but you should create a new library and import the trial library anyway IMHO
    2. When I start importing photos from camera into A3, will I be able to use iPhoto to view or edit if I delete the original iPhoto library? In short, will iPhoto be able to share the same library when I start using A3?
    In short: no, but you can view the images from one library in the other and drag them in if you like.
    3. After importing all existing photos from iPhoto, should and can I delete my iPhoto library?
    You can, but wait until you know everything is working right and backed up.
    4. Will I be able to use and install A3 on both my laptop and iMac at the same time or is it restricted to 1 computer?
    Yes the EULA allows a desktop and a laptop but not simultaneously. (If they're on the same network, it won't allow you to run them simultaneously.)

  • Question for P6N SLI Platinum User : Does ALC888 support Dolby Digital Encoding?

    Hello to all P6N SLI Platinum users here,
    I have one question regarding Dolby Digital Encoding support on this motherboard. By default, ALC888 does not support Dolby Digital Encoding. But I am still curious. Can you please check on your motherboard, does it support Dolby Digital encoding or DTS Live Connect output to SPDIF? (You may check it by Realtek HD Audio Manager control panel. If there exist such setting option, it means it does support.)
    The reason I ask this is I am thinking to switch from 975X Platinum to this board, I am unable to try this myself here as it requires me to reinstall my OS in order to load to WinXP
    Thanks in advance.

    have a look here:

    according to info there its support Dolby Digital Live

  • Questions for experienced GB3/podcast users

    havent read a single thing about podcasting etc
    yet i know GB 2 like the back of my hand!
    this is what i have in mind to do.
    i have 1000's of photos. Pro shooter.
    with a theme in mind id like to use ken burns effect and also introduce the themes ive written as background music on GB2 as background for the photo show.
    so i would actually in essence have an Imovie with music.
    i would then be able to introduce a vocal to narrate where the photos are from and interesting facts about them.
    this is what i visualize happening.
    now...
    do i really need GB3 to do this?
    if i do use GB3 to do this what would be the advantages of using it? Can i edit in GB3 my photos to zoom and pan or must that come from an already pre made and imported imovie?
    in another words all the podcasting will do for me would be to allow text some unnecessary sound effects????
    please differentiate the two if you have experience already with doing imovie and podcasting on GB3. Please dont answer with " i guess you could do that" etc....
    ofcourse putting this with iweb to a web site would be the kicker and that will happen.
    just the rudiments first
    thanks alot
    please feel free to rant and rave about GB3 and what it can do for you with respect with my initial question

    Hm. Certainly GB won't help you create the photo effects. I actually see two ways to accomplish this feat:
    The hard way, if you want an exact sync of pics and music: Do your music in GB, import it into iMovie, edit your slideshow like you would edit a movie, and add the commentary on the second sound track.
    Easier, but not very editable: Create a slide show in iPhoto, do your music in GB. While the slide show is running, record your commentary on another track in GB. Mix down the sound in GB and play the slide show in iPhoto, with your finished sound track as background music.
    In the second version you have a constant change rate for the pics, automated effects and not very much control about music/picture alignment. And you can only present it, not turn it into a movie.

  • Question for Beta 3.0 users ( more home screens???)

    Is apple giving us more than r 9 home screen that we have now except for the new spotlight screen. I sure hope so.

    Yes but with the new spotlight homepage that doesn't look like that will be a big problem anymore finding your app. and running them. I just hate that i only have a 8 gig iphone and it is not even full because i have to delete a app to add more app's why give you the option of even putting bookmarks on the homescreen when you need the room for app's because you don't have enough pages. Apple wants you to buy app's and try out demo's but doesn't give you enough pages. Why give you a larger iphone? There is no shuffle for app's or smart playlist like music so it is alittle harder when you have lots of app's you are tryin out.

  • Question for more experienced Iphone users!

    Hey guys (and gals),
    I'm very new to the Iphone (3GS, 32Gb) and would like someone to explain a small issue if possible. Firstly, if this has been asked and answered elsewhere then please forgive me. Secondly, it's a trivial isse (I hope) but its bugging the **** out of me.
    Within Itunes all my albums are listed alphabetically by ARTIST and so was my Iphone until yesterday. However, my phone now lists the albums alphabetically by TITLE. Now I realise that within Itunes you can alter the view to list albums differently, but not within the Iphone, and "synching" does not put it back to normal.
    I realise this is very small potatoes and if anybody out there has a solution or an idea I would be very grateful.
    By the way I have tried restoring but the same happens. The only thing that I did differently yesterday was to download music videos which I have never done before.
    Take care.
    Grant.

    There are two methods:
    * iPod>Artists
    * hold the square button and wait for the blue screen>"Play song Atari" Atari being artist.
    The iPod app should have provided you an artist icon below or under more tab. If you don't see Artists on the bottom, press the more then edit and choose drag the artist tab.

  • 2 stupid question - for Brain Dead iPad user

    Tried to register iPad AppleCare Protection Plan on-line. Couldn't find registration number inside the box, only 2 pamphlets on getting started. Tried using the numbers on the sticker on outside of box but they didn't work either....Help?
    Lastly, I purchased Breaking Bad season 1 in HD, downloaded and viewed all episodes. Tried to do same for season 2 and got error message I don't have enough space to dowload. Checked settings and showing 22 GB free. Ideas? Thank you!

    Generally when you purchase AppleCare at the same time as the covered product, the plan is registered automatically and there's nothing you need to go. You can enter in your iPad's serial number and check the coverage here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    though if you just bought the iPad, it may take a couple of weeks before it appears in the database due to the very high load during the holiday season.
    I'm not sure about the capacity issue. You might try restarting your iPad (hold down the power and home button until you get the red "swipe to turn off" screen) and see if that makes a difference.
    Regards.
