If Adobe developers want to solve this problem, I am available for any trial or details (also source code that it works with Acrobat 9 and it doesn't work from Acrobat X).

This is a place for developers to help each other. If you want to contact developer support (of course, you will not reach actual developers of the product), you can pay to raise a support case. I can tell you their first question: does it work with Acrobat XI? There will be no fixes for Acrobat X.

FindText doesn't work in Acrobat X

I have installed the Adobe Acrobat software development kit and until the Acrobat 9 the FindText function works correctly.
With Acrobat X (last update 10.1.3) the FindText doesn't work.
When you solve this malfunction? Is it possible to have a valid alternative?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, looks like a bug to me...
I did found a workaround, although it's much slower. (Especially if you don't have the start page number)
The code exists of a class and a module. It will need to be adjusted for your own usage...
Hope it can help you...
Sorry for type faults (Native dutch speaking)

Microsoft Exam Questions On Functionality That Doesn't Work!

What does a student do if they are tested, in a Microsoft exam, on functionality that's known not to work?!
It seems absurd that Microsoft is doing this.

Assume it does work when you take the exam.
How can functionality that doesn't work outside of the exam suddenly and mysteriously work in the exam? that doesn't make sense!
Turn a blind eye toward "real world" experiences in these types of cases.
Turning a blind eye to functionality that doesn't work isn't the correct solution: fixing the software or removing the question
from the exam is.
Be sure to mark the exam questions that you disagree with.
- and what happens if the student concerned did not think to do this at this time but only after she had time
to think about it afterwards?
Thank you for your contribution but I feel that it does not really address the problem I have highlighted.

Functional keys doesn't work in Windows 7.

I have installed BootCamp 3.0 and installed all drivers; however, functional keys doesn't work such as keyboard backlight, volum control.
Let me know if there is any solution.
Thank you,

' Installed device in another PC with same OS. And it worked (seems like fine) with latest drivers from Creative site.
May be, the problem is that Setup doesn't delete old drivers or other stuff which conflicts with latest drivers? Before released drivers I tried to install beta and them didn't work. Yes, I uninstalled them and removed all drivers and software which I could with Device Manager. But it seems like it is installing well on "clean" system.

HT4847 Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

I found the solution .,,,
1) click on your current plan and press done your payment details will appear .
2) the first section is your plan and there is a botton "change" click on it
3) it will take you back to the upgrade options
4) press on the downgrade options
5) choose the 5 GB and the done botton will be enabled
6) click on it you'll back to the step number 2 , here read carefully you'll see that your changes will take effect after the current plan expired with the date.

Skill Search works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client

My environment consists of Lync Server 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013.
I configured skill search and it works fine from search center, but it doesn't work from Lync client. An error appears says"error occurred during the search, please try again".
I configured these URLs in my client policy
set-csclientpolicy -identity global -spsearchinternalurl http://<Sharepoint Server>/_vti_bin/search.asmx
set-csclientpolicy -identity global -spsearchcenterinternalurl http://<Sharepoint Server>/searchcenter/pages/peopleresults.aspx
I checked these URLs from the browser and they work fine.
I disabled anonymous access to _vti_bin, but no change then i checked lync log but i didn't find any error then i used Wireshark and found that when Lync client contacts Sharepoint, Sharepoint responded to it with internal server error http 500
Please advice for what to do

Hi,
Thanks For your sharing.

Autoreaction doesn't work from client 000 but works from other clients

Autoreaction doesn't work from client 000.
More details coming.   Having trouble getting the thread to post.

We set up a new local auto-reaction.   This is not a central auto-reaction. The auto-reaction writes a
message to the UNIX system log /var/adm/messages when a "Security"
alert i.e. - Logon, RFCLogon, TransactionStart, etc. occurs.
The RZ20 alerts are being properly generated and can be seen in both
the CEN system and the local system. On the local system if I view
all alerts for the MTE using transaction RZ20 and select one of the
alerts and choose Edit -> Nodes ( MTE ) -> Start methods -> Start auto-
reaction method. The auto-reaction writes the message to the UNIX
system log. If I execute the same procedure in client 000 nothing is
written to the UNIX system log.
I've also tried triggering a new alert and running SAPMSSY8 from SE38
while the alert is still in status ACTION_REQUIRED. If I do this from
client 010, an entry is written to the unix system log. If I do this
from client 000, nothing is written to the unix system log. In both
cases, the status of the alert changes from ACTION_REQUIRED to ACTIVE.
Since the System Cyclic program ( SAPMSSY6 ) that triggers SAPMSSY8
always runs in client 000, the auto-reaction never writes the messages
to the UNIX system log.
I have been working on this issue for days. There are several posts and notes relevant to a similar situation with e-mail alerts that are not working from client 000 because SAPCONNECT is not set up in client 000.   However, this auto-reaction does not send an e-mail, so SAPCONNECT set-up should not be necessary.   I've searched Service Marketplace and could not find any notes that resolved the problem either.
I've also checked CCMS Self-Monitoring and cannot find any alerts or errors relevant to this problem.
Does anyone know why the auto-reaction only works from a client other than client 000?
Best regards,
Dave

Function app.mailmsg doesn't work in Acrobat 9.4.2.220

Hello all:
Today I update Acrobat 9 from 9.3 to 9.4.
I find the function app.mailMsg() doesn't work any more.
when I use app.mailMsg() in Javascript, the Acrobat will be aborted and send Error Report.
Is anyone able to help me with this?
Many thanks!

I have tried your suggestion (for example cPdfAVDoc->FindTextA(WideString("R1").c_bstr(), 0, 0, 1);
but the result is the same.
Searching directly in the find window of the Acrobat in my application obviously all works correctly. But my target is to search from an external button.
Thanks

Why reloading pure asset SWF with AIR sdk 3.6+ doesn't work?

Hi, I posted this in the AIR beta channel, but I think it suits better here... I'm sorry for double posting.
Hi,
I have a game targeting iOS using AIR sdk that needs to load many swf assets from the disk (packaged with the game). When using AIR sdk 3.5, everything runs just fine. When upgrading the sdk to 3.6 or later (-swf-version=19, 20, 21), we ran into the following problems:
1) The packaging time (making the ipa file for iOS) passes from 15 minutes to 40+ minutes.
2) The game can't load any swf twice (ie. reload a swf).
The first problem is not a big deal. We only have to wait a little bit more. Our guess is that is has to do with new feature introduced by the sdk 3.6, which will go through all packaged secondary swfs and remove the code from it, and since we have lot of swf assets, it takes more time.
The second problem is way more serious, as I have to be able to reload assets according to player's action. Since we have a ton of assets, I can't keep them all in the memory as we could quickly run out of memory.
I know that there's a documented limitation of sdk 3.6 which states:
In AIR apps on iOS running in AOT mode there is a problem when a SWF is reloaded. Therefore reloading a SWF will not be allowed for AIR apps for iOS in AOT mode and attempting to do so will result in following error:
Error 3764: Reloading a SWF is not supported on this operating system
It also says that "Reloading of pure asset SWFs will work with AIR 3.7". However, that's not true, since all my assets are pure asset SWF without any code inside. It won't work, even with AIR 3.8.
While searching on the internet, I came across a forum post that says that the only way to know if a swf is a pure asset swf, is by using swfdump.exe, and searching for the DoABC2 tag. I did it, and effectively, DoABC2 tag was there, but empty.
So my first observation is that:
- Pure asset SWF file containing empty DoABC2 tag can be reloaded using AIR SDK 3.5
- Pure asset SWF file containing empty DoABC2 tag can't be reloaded using AIR SDK 3.6+
It seems to me that AIR SDK 3.6+ doesn't care if the tag is empty or not. If it is there, then it's not ok.
Then I wanted to know why my SWFs have this empty tag. After lot of tests, it turns out that it is because I am using jsfl to automate the export of assets from a FLA file. And there comes my second observation:
- When exporting a swf without code from Flash IDE (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), there's no empty DoABC2 tag.
- When exporting a swf from the Flash IDE's library (right click on the library Movieclip -> Export Flash movie...), empty DoABC2 tag is automatically inserted.
Unfortunately, my jsfl script uses thee same Library export functionality, and it produces the same "contaminated" swf. Why doesn't it produce the same SWF from both ways of export? I have no idea.
In the perfect world, the AIR SDK would not only look for the DoABC2 tag, but it should check whether if there's code inside. Also, Flash should use the same export process disregarding if it is being called from the IDE or the Library, and not inserting empty DoABC2 tag when there's no code.
As for now, I can't find any workaround to solve my problem. That means that I'm stuck with swf-version=18, and I can't benefit from all the cool features such as rectangle textures, new Context3DTextureFormat etc.
If anyone has a solution, or simply pointing out what I'm doing wrong here, please share it.
Thanks for reading.

Hi makc3d,
Thanks for the response. After all that time I started losing hope.
I would not say that the abvious solution is to remove the tag. I think it should not be put there in the first place if there's no code at all. Moreover, this only happens when exporting a MC from the Library, and it works just fine when exporting normally (publish). It seems more like a bug than an expected behaviour.
Also, AIR should check for actual code in this tag instead of relying only on the tag itself.
Your solution is a nice workaround, and I will certainly try that out. But as I said, it will not fix the original bug, it will only patch it later on in the process.

OWB 9.0.3 : Function propagate doesn't work

Hello,
I would like propagate physical objects to logical objects.
The reason :in the repository the objects are differents for a same element id.
In fact , my problem is : I can't generate a mapping. The mapping is validate, but it's impossible to generate it.
So, i think it'wil be better to work with a repository where physical's objects names are the same of logical's objects
Any changes in Local Setup and MLS Display Language and Propagation options doesn't affect.
Have you a solution because when i try to do the action with the menu Preferences->naming, it doesn't work.
Thanks for your help.

My keyboard doesn't work from the login screen, but when I login as a guest user it works fine (minus the brightness buttons, playback buttons, etc.).

I've already switched out the batteries and the keyboard works fine, so I fear it might be some sort of bug? All the methods of restarting or resetting certain settings can only be done from the login screen or from within an account, when the keyboard doesn't work, and the guest options are limited to non existent.

Try doing a SMC reset, you may need to do this 2-3 times as sometimes the reset doesn't always "take" the first time. To do a SMC reset, shut down the computer, unplug the power cord from the wall and computer, wait 15-20 seconds and restart normally and test. If after 2-3 resets it still does not work test another keyboard. If that keyboard works then this indicates your keyboard has failed and needs to be replaced.

[SOLVED] KDE Start New Session doesn't work from lock screen

On my laptop, if I lock the KDE 4 session and then click Switch Users > Start New Session, I get a login screen and can log in as a different user. All good.
If I do the same thing on my desktop, it doesn't work. When I click Switch Users > Start New Session, it doesn't start a new session or switch VTs. Instead, I just get reprompted for the existing user's password.
Both machines are running fully updated Arch. Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? The only difference I can think of between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has nomodeset specified as a kernel boot parameter. (It won't boot without it.) Could this be interfering with automatic VT switching? Manual VT switching (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) works fine.

GetURL doesn't work from

I have designed a CD-ROM program. Flash player 8 and Action
Script 2.
1) The main folder is His_Lat_2008. In it there are three
folders: Movies, Graphics, Pages.
2) I used a template that has a navigation bar created in
flash
3) I have an Index.html page on the root folder
(His_Lat_2008). The index page has a gif graphic. There is also an
enter button on this page.
4) All other pages contain a swf movie
WORKS FINE
Button 1 on navigation bar links to home, which is the
Index.html
here is the code
on (release) {
getURL("C:\\My Documents\\Hisp_Lat_2008\\Index.html",
"_self");
DOESN'T WORK
Button 2 is linked to an html page under the folder Pages.
on (release) {
getURL("History.html", "_self"); I ALSO TRIED
getURL(/Pages/History.html", "_self")
button 3 -5 are the same as button 2.
When the program opens, I see the main page (Index.html). But
when I click to other buttons (under folder Page), none works.
However, when I'm using the page 2 or 3, I can move within these
pages and go back to home page (Index.html), but I cannot come back
to pages 2 or 3.
What is the problem with my getURL?
Please help

Thanks.
It did work using the entire string:
on (release) {
getURL("C:\\My
Documents\\Hisp_Lat_2008\\Pages\\History.html", "_self");
However, in previous projects I didn't use the entire string.
Just the name of the html page would do it.
Thanks for replying to my message.

"Providing interactive database lookup from forms" sample doesn't work with Acrobat Reader 7

I have downloaded and tested the Adobe sample "Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0, Providing interactive database lookup from forms". Everything works great in Acrobat Professional Full version, however, when I tested it in Acrobat Reader 7.0.5, it generated a "script failed..." message.
Did anybody have the same problem? You can download the sample from here:

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Jie,
Database connectivity is a feature supported in Acrobat only , not Reader--unless the PDF has been extended with Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
