Searching phrases rather than just words in pdf files

Does anyone know how this works? I am only able to search individuals words on large pdf files, but I need to search for key phrases. I know that in PC I can do this but I can figure out how to do it for Macs

Then are you saying it's not possible to look for phrases in the search box in pdf files on macs?
If this is a response to my example: Ex: lookfor+aphrase won't find looking for a phrase.
then you are missing the point. Notice the word look with the plus and how it won't find the phrase +looking for a phrase+ because of the extra ing
The entire phrase has to be an exact match.
Another example:
tobe+or+not+tobe won't find +to be or not be+ because the second to is not in the phrase.

When I add text to a PDF, I am forced to change the file name rather than just updating the current file. Why?

I have been doing the same process for months and until recently I could just add text to a pdf, click save, adobe would ask me if I wanted to replace the current file, I'd say yes and we would be done. Now I get a message that says "The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." It does this about 70% of the time. The rest of the time it works like it used to.

You cannot skip arguments, you can either use the function with one
argument (just the required argument), or you have to provide all of them.
Also, it looks like you are trying to specify 20 parameters, even though
the function only takes 19. Try the following:
Call jso.addWaterMarkFromText("Test Text", jso.app.Constants.Align.Center,
jso.Font.Helv, 16, _
    jso.Color.Black, 0, 0, True, True, True, _
    jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, _
    100, 100, False, 1, False, 0, 1)
I just typed this in without running it through the compiler, so there may
be typos in the code, but you should get the idea of how the code is
supposed to look like.

Search for a phrase rather than a single word in speech analysis text?

Can you view a whole year in iCal, rather than just day, week, month?

Does anyone know if there is a plug in or something (alternative app. even) that allows you to view the whole YEAR rather than just a month at a time? I want something that will function almost like a wall planner.

I asked this question about two years ago! I'm surprised we still can't print a year calendar. I've been using an Apple Calendar program from 1996, which was fun because I could add icons, and frames, etc. I was using it up until last week when I installed Leopard. Gone is Classic and my calendar program along with it!
Another problem I've had with iCal is the inability to print it in portrait mode. There was a work around on these boards that worked, but doesn't now. Sigh

How do I enable Firefox 4 to do a search on more than one word (e.g. "yahoo mail") without receiving the error message "the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"?

After loading Firefox 4.0, I changed the address bar search engine to Google Search by Name, so I'd be taken straight to the most relevant webpage when I type in a word.
It works fine when I type in one word, but if I use a search with more than one word (e.g. "yahoo mail" or "google maps") I get an alert saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". Is there any way I can fix the address bar to accept multiple word searches?
I've tried disabling all my add-ons, but it didn't make any difference.

Hi, this should sort out your problem:
1. Type in "about:config" into the address bar, this will open the settings menu. Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!"
2. Search for "keyword.URL" in the filter bar.
3. Enter "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=" into the value field.
I'm no expert, but I had the same problem which got on my nerves after being so used to being able to type anything in, and following these steps fixed it.

Why does iPhone rate whole album when it syncs to iTunes rather than just single song sometimes?

I wasn't sure if this should be an iTunes or iPhone discussion, so here goes!
I am very particular about rating my music. Every day at work, as songs play on my iPhone, I give them a star rating. This star rating then transfers to iTunes when I sync my phone. Most times, these ratings go through just fine. Sometimes, however, rather than just rating a single song with three stars on an album... It'll give the whole album in iTunes three stars. (Three stars is just an example.)
What I mean is that if viewing an album list, the album rating will be hard coded per se on the left and give all the songs three stars even if I never listened to / rated them. I can then click to remove the rating on the album on the left, and the unrated / unplayed songs will lose that hard coded rating and return to no rating.
What am I doing wrong? Lol. It drives me crazy! Once a month I view all my albums as a list so I can remove the hard coded ratings. There are usually six or seven albums that'll have it. I do nothing different on the iPhone that I am aware of.
Has anyone else experienced this situation or have a solution? I'm on an iPhone 4S, latest software. This also occurred with my iPhone 3GS

Still an issue, Apple. iPad with 5.1.1 and I have the same issue. There doesn't appear to be a way to rate a single song.

How do I see the charts for all countries rather than just my own country simultaneously in iTunes? The album chart...

I produced a song on Lecrae's new album, Gravity, "Higher" f/Tenth Ave North, which is #1 in the US today upon its release. But I've heard that it also topped charts in other countries as well, and do not know how to adjust the Top Album Charts view to show me the top 10 albums in each country rather than just in the US. I've done it before, but over a year ago when Rehab: The Overdose dropped, but can't recall how I did it. Please help! Thanks and God bless...

I agree that this does work. Thanks.
However, I now have the issue that I scroll the whole screen down to show the shows at the bottom. When I highlight the last show, the 10 shows are not visibile as they are at the top of the screen. I have to scroll the whole screen back up to the top to see episodes.
This is not the most elegant solution but at least with lots of double scrolling, it is possible.

OT: Did you know you can change your profile to show your real name, rather than just your Adobe ID?

I realize this is off-topic for this particular forum, but I hope it may help some readers. Since this forum is "where I live" in the Adobe forums, I wanted top share it here first. Perhaps after some feedback to refine things, I may post it elsewhere (another forum perhaps, and/or my blog).
As I was answering a question from someone, finding myself again able only to refer to them by their brief Adobe ID (which often seems to have no connection at all to their name), I wondered:
Do people realize that they can change their forum identity so that their real name (or whatever other identifying info) shows up rather than just their brief Adobe ID? It's just that some folks would much prefer "talking" with someone by refer to them by their real name (or at least something more than just their Adobe ID).:-)
I suppose some may choose intentionally to remain “relatively anonymous” with just that ID to identify them, but I think many more simply don't know that they *can* change what's shown. You can. But it seems we can't do it inside the forums software itself.
Instead, we just need to modify our "Adobe account" to associate a name with our ID (which of course could have benefit in other places where our names might be used).
You can do by going to https://www.adobe.com/account.html, then choose “My Information” (and login if prompted). Then, on the page shown, under the section “My Personal Profile” you can fill in the first and last name fields. (You can also your password here, and it seems even your username.)
It may be possible that after making that change, you would need to sign out and back into the forums (forums.adobe.com) for the change to be picked up, but if it is, you should then see "Welcome [your name]" in the top right corner of the forums page, if it's worked.
And now any forum messages you create should have that name at the top of the message when people read it, and it would also be in the FROM address if people receive it as email (note we're NOT talking about your email address. That is never shown. If people reply to forum messages received by email, the reply goes back to a generic forum email address.)
Hope all that's helpful to someone.
BTW, I had done the change myself a long time ago, so I'm retracing these steps now for others to do it. If you try it and can confirm that it works, please drop a note here. Thanks.

It works, thanks!

Should I reformat rather than just restore. If so how do I reformat?

I can't synch or manually transfer more than 100 songs to my Itouch. It's a Third Gen 32G. At one point I had over 1,000 songs on it. My pictures are also distorted. I've tried restore several times, I've been to the Apple store and followed their directions and have scoured these forums and nothing works. It looks like the device is hoplessly confused and can't synch or hold anything. Rather than just restore do I need to reformat the device through the PC? The Itouch was been working fine until I tried to sych an audio book by mistake and that folder was empty. Any help would be appreciated, I've been working on this for about 2 weeks and am unable to come up with a solution. I keep hoping maybe it's just one checkbox in ITunes that needs to be clicked on......

There is no reformat.
Restore as new is the closest thing.

Where do I get the download from iTunes button art, rather than just stealing from someones site

where do I get the download from iTunes button art, rather than just stealing from someones site

Interesting. It looks to be available from the iTunes Affiliates resources for everyone:
Affiliate Logo Guidelines and Art
... although it also says you ought to be an affiliate to actually use it.
It might be worth checking in with Apple Legal to see what the requirements are for using it, first. Here's contacts:

How do I configure my Software limits to Kill a motor, rather than just halt the motion?

I am running on board programs. I have my software limits enabled. Occasionally, my program corrupts and I hit a software limit. The motion stops by halting the motors, but they are still on. As a result, the on board progam kicks in again, and the motors start back up again. Depending upon the program, this can lead to very dangerous results.
How can I set the software limits such that they kill the motors, rather than just halting them?

You will need to poll the status of the software limits (using the Read Limit Status VI, limit type inptu set to software limits). Once the status is True, such that the software limit has been tripped, execute a Stop Motion VI, with the Stop type input set to Kill.
This example program uses these two VIs, but you will need to modify it for your own application in the way I mentioned above:

How do I ensure user name is shown rather than 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box?

How can I ensure user names are shown rather than just 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box that appears when attempting to edit a checked out document in Microsoft Word/Excel?
All suggestions welcome.

If I recall correctly, that dialog is generated by the Office client product supporting that file type. There would be no way to modify it.

Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
Why is my word and PDF files so large?
How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

You can't, extra size is to hold the details

How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

How to upload words, exel, PDF file from the pc via itune to the iPad, and where will the uploaded file be saved? In the apps?

You will need an app (or apps) on your iPad that is capable of reading the documents, as they will be saved with the app - if you don't have such an app then there is nothing to transfer them to or to read/access them.
One method of transferring them is toconnect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, select it's app tab, and then scroll to the bottom of it - you should the apps That you've got that are capable of file-sharing (if you've got any). Selecting/high-lighting one of them should then allow you to add files to it via the box to the right of it.
An alternative way to get the documents onto your iPad is if the app that you want to transfer them to has a wifi setting, which will then allow you to transfer the documents wirelessly. You can also send the documents to yourself as attachments and then use Mail's 'open in' facility to copy them into your chosen app.
Edit : more info on file sharing from the manual :
File Sharing lets you transfer files between iPad and your computer. You can share files created with a compatible app and saved in a supported format.
Apps that support file sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. For each app, the Files list shows the documents that are on iPad. See the app’s documentation for how it shares files; not all apps support this feature.
Connect iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
Transfer a file from your computer to iPad:
Connect iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
In the File Sharing section, click Add.
Select a file, then click Choose (Mac) or OK (PC).
The file is transferred to your device and can be opened using an app that supports that file type. To transfer more than one file, select each additional file.
Delete a file from iPad: Select the file in the Files list, then tap Delete.
