Roaming Profiles, FM9 and Acrobat Professional (9 and X) - Useful Info maybe to others

Just thought I would post this bit of information, which took me a long time to figure out and I still don't know why it happens.
Basically
Using FM9 (although have FM10 installed but cannot convert at the moment...not to mention...sigh...that a distributor sold that to us knowing that FM11 was about to be released!!!!!!!!!)
Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit
Recently upgraded to Acrobat Professional X (although the same problem happened with Acrobat Pro 9).
Could not get FM to publish to PDF (that is, print to PDF). I could distill, but then I did not get the bookmarks I needed (I tried to find an easy answer to that question, but that was a dead end involving programming).
I have spent too much time on this issue
A while ago, I found that by disabling a roaming profile, or deleting the files in the Adobe folder in a roaming profile, seems to fix whatever problem the PDF printer was having generating a PDF.
Thought I would pass that on in case someone else find it useful.

Amanda,
As Van says, yes you can have both seleced at the same time. I suspect there are other issues on your machine that are creating your problems. FWIW, I too have been running FM9 on a win7 64-bit platform with no issues.
The Roaming Profile is used typicaly with remote logins across a WAN (wide area network), however, application specific gets stored there - depending upon the application. Since you've seemed to have resolved the issue by deleting (or disabling the profile, i.e. the apps won't look there) the Roaming profile folder, it sounds like there might have been something corrupt or erroneous in the Acrobat data folders. When you installed your FM versions, did you deselect the accompanying PDFcreator option? If not and you had an existing Acrobat installation, then some items would have been overwritten, creating some issues for you.

Can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices?

can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices? we have it connected wirelessly but devices connected to the ethernet ports are not working.

Not as an additional router.. the TC will be plugged into the main router via ethernet (or ethernet equivalent)..
Then the TC is setup in bridge mode. It will simply act as a Switch and HDD.
The wireless can be setup in a number of ways.
From your convenience point of view use it in roaming network mode..
you simply give the TC the same Wireless Name as the existing routers SSID.
Same security setting and password. WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES which is the best.
But they both use different wireless channels.. normally if you leave the TC on auto it will work fine, but I prefer to control the network.. so set the main router to say 1 and the TC to 11.
You can also use a completely different wireless name etc.. that is up to you. It is still a single flat network and the only thing that is important is only having one router.

Can I stream a movie from my Macbook to my Apple TV on one display, and still use my Macbook for other things?

I have a Macbook Pro and an Apple TV. What I'd like to do is stream a movie from my CinemaNow Account to my television by using my Apple TV and my Macbook. I know that I can do this my using the mirroring feature, however then I can no longer use my Macbook for anything else because my TV will only display what is on the screen of my Macbook. Now with this is mind, what then is the point of having multiple displays through the use of my Apple TV, if only one display can be used at a time unless they both show the same image? Or is there a way for me to be able to stream the movie to my TV and still use my Macbook for other purposes (multi-tasking)?

To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.

HT1918 Change country and change payment info contradict each other

Hi, I have changed country of residence. When I want to change the country settings, it says: fix the payment info. When I want to change payment info, it says: this payment not allowed in this store. How should I resolve this paradox? Thanks!

Alas, the assistance offered from iTunes support has only made the situation worse.
They suggested I purchase an iTunes gift card to clear the balance on my account and therefore be able to change the country and payment card.
So I bought €25 of gift card and now iTunes refuses to accept the credit....because it's not denominated in British Pounds.
Original iTunes representative now refusing to respond to my query.

Mega 865PRO and Instanton - useful info

shown the Aopen XC Cube AV edition today, and couldn't help but notice uncanny similarities between this and MSI's Mega 865PRO barebones SFF
especially as regards the "InstantOn" software - as Aopen's system uses the same Intervideo software
thought this might be useful here too for reference; if i find any more useful stuff then i'll post it here too!

How can I install Windows and InstantOn Operating Systems on my new EA65 XC cube?
Windows and InstantOn are two independent Operating System supported by EA65, please follow the procedure below on how to install them.
Make sure that the hard drive to be used has no partition present.
Start the system with InstantOn CD inserted, installation process will now automatically start, follow the onscreen menu and wait until it"s finish.
Proceed to the installation of Windows, you will see that at least 100MB of your hard drive has been used. This is for InstantOn please leave it untouched, continue the installation of Windows then install the necessary drivers and Home Theater application afterwards.
It is important that InstantOn be installed FIRST before Windows Operating System.
EA65 should now work properly.

again from aopen's website, just substitute EA65 for Mega 865PRO!

Adobe 9 + Roaming Profiles + Administrator

Roaming Profiles (Vista on 2003 domain) are set to use Adobe Reader 8.
After installing Adobe 9, the program "terminates abnormally".
Adobe 9 runs OK as an administrator (non-roaming).
I tried making a roaming user a local admin temporarily, then returning him to normal user - problem returned.
So far, the only solution is to uninstall Adobe 9 & reinstall Adobe 8.

I'm seeing the same problem with the full version of Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional, in what seems to be the same setup, only XP clients as well as Vista are affected.
The exact error messages I'm getting are:
>Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
>
>Runtime Error!
>
>Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
>
>The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an usual way.
>Please contact the application's support team for more information.
and when viewing PDF files in Internet Explorer:
>Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
>
>Debug Error!
>
>Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
>
>abnormal program termination
>
>(Press Retry to debug the application)
My Domain Admin account is not affected, even when I assigned it a roaming profile temporarily. Curiously, I tried adding an affected user to the local Administrators group and this had no effect - the user still experienced crashes.
The same user logging onto one of our laptops (which are set to use local profiles even for domain users) does NOT experience crashes.
I've managed to generate a crash dump for this and from reading through the stack trace it appears the problem stems from the PDFLTerm() function in AdobePDFL.dll

LUM, integrated login, roaming profile

Re-reading many message threads in this and other forums, I'm
confused. For SLED, LUM creates users accounts on-the-fly after eDir
login (like DLU on ZEN on Windows), the Novell client reads login
scripts and maps drives (like on Windows) but integration with LUM is
less than transparent, and there may or may not be plans to support
roaming profies, without which settings and user document folders are
stuck on each machine the account was created on, making it very
difficult to support without mass confusion.
I run a college network. If we are to have a chance to make people
interested in an alternative to Windows, all those functions must be
transparent to users (as it is with the Windows client and ZEN) --
they authenticate to the directory, their local account is created,
they get their network resources, and their roaming profile settings
and locations are as expected. They logout, their info is safe on the
network, their account is deleted. They go to the next class in a
different lab and repeat. This happens thousands of times per day in
30 different labs with students of wildly different capabilities and
expectations. But it just works.
This has been the Novell experience since the beginning (16 years for
us). It is still valid. Anything less than this makes SLED an
unworkable alternative. I'm looking for a way to make it workable. By
summer we'll have 1200 XP/SLED dual boot machines in labs and offices.
To make SLED a viable alternative we need those other features.
Otherwise, it's just a toy for the curious. Unfortunate.
So, here are my end of year questions:
Which of these fundamental functions are working with which others?
Which ones are in the SP beta plans?
Which ones are not being planned?
What is the process for helping the planners understand the needs of
the users out here?
Thanks.
Lyle

Mark,
Thanks for the comments. I actually don't care if it doesn't implement
the same way as Windows. I agree, that is not a good model. Copying
the profile is dumb. If the plan is to simply mount the home, that's
by far the best way.
I suspect that what we are working with is a terminology problem. If,
we define "roaming profile" to mean that the user sees what they
expect to see regardless of what machine they login to, that is all
that matters. The need to copy the profile on Windows causes all kinds
of problems and is a poor solution.
So, let me re-state what I feel our needs are: 1) the user, not having
a local account, authenticates to the linux workstation using eDir, 2)
gets all the network resources per network scripts and policies, 3)
their home "profile" looks like it should, with all settings in tact,
4) they logout and no residue is left on the workstation.
However that is accomplished, I don't care and I'm not wedded to any
Windows terminology or processes. Hope this helps.
Lyle

Adobe 9.2: "Roaming Profiles" now supported?

Hello,
there where some Threads reporting "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library errors" when using an Adobe 9.x product with roaming profiles.
Adobe stated in the 9.1 readme, that roaming profiles will be supported in the next version.
Are the problems solved and are roaming profiles now supported with 9.2?

Office 2010 downloads too much stuff to users' roaming profiles, making it go over the 30MB size limit

Hey, we recently rolled out to Office 2010 at my workplace.
On the student segment we've activated the 30MB roaming profile size limit, and we've found that a bunch of students have had trouble with this now because Office 2010 seems to download around 8MB of files to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Templates\LiveContent, which
occasionally makes the profile go over the 30MB size limit.
Is there any easy way to prevent this LiveContent from being downloaded?? Anything I can set in the installation transformation file, or preferably with a registry setting or something?

You had mentioned a policy to disable synchronization of the LiveContent folders.
I think it would be this GP admin template setting, it's what we use for this kind of requirement:
File Name: UserProfiles.admx
Policy Setting Name: Exclude directories in roaming profile
Scope: User
Policy Path: System\User Profiles
Registry Information: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System!ExcludeProfileDirs
Supported On: At least Windows 2000
Help Text: This policy setting lets you exclude folders that are normally included in the user's profile.
As a result, these folders do not need to be stored by the network server on which the profile resides and do not follow users to other computers.
Note: When excluding content from the profile you should try to exclude the narrowest set of data that will address your needs.
For example, if there is one application with data that should not be roamed then add only that application's specific folder under the AppData\Roaming folder rather than all of the AppData\Roaming folder to the exclusion list.By default, the Appdata\Local
and Appdata\LocalLow folders and all their subfolders such as the History, Temp, and Temporary Internet Files folders are excluded from the user's roaming profile.In operating systems earlier than Microsoft Windows Vista, only the History, Local Settings,
Temp, and Temporary Internet Files folders are excluded from the user's roaming profile by default.If you enable this policy setting, you can exclude additional folders.If you disable this policy setting or do not configure it, only the default folders are
excluded.
Note: You cannot use this policy setting to include the default folders in a roaming user profile.

Blocking Roaming Profile Problem

I am working on a new Server 2012r2 system where roaming profiles need to be blocked/disabled. I linked the same GP I have used for Server 2008r2 systems that sets the following at
Computer Configuration | Policies | Administrative Templates | System | User Profiles to help accomplish this:
Only allow local user profiles: Enabled
Prevent Roaming Profile changes from propagating to the server: Enabled
However, after applying this to the Server 2012r2 system, user roaming profiles continue to load and unload, i.e. neither of the settings above appear to be correctly taking effect. I have confirmed that both of these settings
are applying according to gpresult, and I also confirmed that the corresponding registry keys were successfully created at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System:
LocalProfile: 1 (dword)
ReadOnlyProfile: 1 (dword)
I have rebooted the server several times, and also enabled “Always wait for the network at startup” just in case, but roaming profiles continue to be enabled on this Server 2012r2 system. I was also able to replicate this
on another Server 2012r2 system in our environment.
As a test, I removed the GP disabling roaming profiles and applied these settings locally using gpedit, but this produced the same behavior.
Questions:
Is there something different on Server 2012r2 that needs to be set to disable roaming profiles from loading and being saved?
Is anyone else seeing this in their environment?
Have I overlooked anything? Does anyone have any other ideas/suggestions?
Please let me know if I can provide any other information.
Thanks!

Hello Frank! Thank you for your reply and for confirming that it works as expected in your environment.
I noticed the following behavior for 2 test users on this server, which helped me conclude that roaming profiles were not successfully disabled on the server:
Assuming a blank roaming profile (no Profile.V2 folder), upon login, a blank
Profile.V2 folder is created in the roaming profile path. Upon logout, the local profile is saved/synced to the roaming profile path (the
Profile.V2 folder now has contents in it).
If there exists a roaming profile prior to first login, it is loaded on the server (for example, the taskbar icons appear from the roaming profile.
I am also able to delete the local profile on the server, and the above behavior can be reproduced.
Also, as a test, I also had attempted to set UseProfilePathExtensionVersion=1 at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlset\Services\ProfSvc\Parameters, and this produced a similar behavior as above, except that it created a Profile.V4 folder instead of Profile.V2 - but the local profile continued to
be written to the roaming profile path.
Please let me know if I can provide any other information.
Thanks.

How to activate Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0?

Adobe customer support had earlier told me to go to forums on adobe.com. The reason they gave me they do not support Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. The representative told me Forums on adobe.com do support Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. ???

Acrobat Professional 9 and Acrobat Reader 9: cannot update, remove, or re-install ...

After I have downloaded Acrobat Professional 9.0 updates and Acrobat Reader 9 updates, both update installations fail.
Acrobat Reader 9 problems
I thought that there could be a conflict between Acrobat Reader 9, which I have also installed, and Acrobat Professional 9.0, so I tried to remove Acrobat Reader 9, but the patch package could not be found. I then ran the Windows Install Cleanup tool, but Acrobat Reader 9 is still on my system. I now cannot reinstall it, nor can I really remove it
I’d like to remove Acrobat Reader 9 entirely because I already have Acrobat Professional 9.0, but how?
Acrobat Professional 9.0 problems
When I try to remove Acrobat Professional 9.0 in order to re-install it from disk, I get the message that the patch package could not be found. When I insert the disk to try to repair Acrobat Professional 9.0, I get the message that the patch package could not be opened. When I try to use the Repair Acrobat Installation option in the Help menu of the program, nothing happens.
I’m hesitant to run the Windows Install Cleanup tool on Acrobat Professional 9.0 because of the problems I got with Acrobat Reader 9 after running the Windows Install Cleanup tool.
How can I re-install Acrobat Professional 9.0 from disk?

PDFs look different in Adobe reader and Acrobat professional compared to the built in PDF viewer on windows 8

Hi there,
I have been trying to narrow down an issue we have been having for some time in printing PDF files and finding that they look different on paper compared to screen. Up until today our big KIP plotter got the blame, but as I have been collecting notes on a little windows 8 tablet I noted that PDFs opened in the windows PDF viewer have the same visual defects as the printouts. My example today is that on a CAD drawing there is a small box/frame with a number in their, I tried printing and the frame was completely blacked out. As a test I tried saving the PDF as a TIFF file from Adobe Acrobat professional and this file had the same fault as the printed copy. When I open it in the windows 8 pdf viewer I can see that there is a shading within this box that does not show on Adobe Reader (latest version 11.0.10.32), the adobe reader and acrobat pro version both show a white background to the box. We have been having lots of issues with sections being missing from drawings and overly feint lines.
I am not sure where to start trying to narrow down why we are getting different results in different PDF readers. Is there anyone who maybe able to point me in the right direction? It almost feels like the shading or colour density is not being consistent when PDFs are being opened in different packages.
Thanks in advance
Andy

Some PDF viewers comply with the PDF ISO Standard (ISO 32000) "just enough" while others (such as Adobe's) fully comply.
As with anything there's a cost to using anything that comes from a "just enough" approach.
Be well...
