Cannot select objects in Adobe Fireworks

I suddenly could not select objects in Adobe Fireworks on my MacBook Pro. I was using a Magic Mouse.
I replace the mouse, but the problem persisted — it wasn't the mouse
I restarted Fireworks, but the problem persisted — it wasn't Fireworks
I searched the Adobe community and found this thread
One user stated that his Spotify was causing the problem. I didn't use spotify but I did just install the Radia app on my machine. It is an app that plays Pandora.
I closed the Radia music app (thinking it similar to Spotify) and the mouse immediately started working again.
If you have this problem. Check for other software causing an issue; specifically ones that have a home up in your task bar.

Radia has replied to my support request.
"Hi,
Radia binds your Mac’s media key to enable you control it convenient and fast. Try disabling the binding to see if the problem goes away:
open Radia window > click on the gear icon > select Preferences… > uncheck Bind Media Key"
Restart both your design program and Radia and you should be good to go!

Select Object tool not working

Newbie here. I used the Select Object tool once on a document.
Clicked on the tool on the toolbar.
Clicked once on the page.
A blue box appeared.
Then I double-clocked to edit.
Well. Since then, no amount of clicking is getting the blue box to appear.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I'm trying to remove one line of text. Any better way, perhaps?
Thanks.
Acro 8

Are you trying to select graphics, text, or something else. If you select graphics, then typically a double click with bring up the default editor to edit that graphic. It may be that you do not have the editor specified or on your system.
For text, use the text touchup tool.

Adobe acrobat invalid annotation object in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Version 9.3.1)

Does Acrobat still support "9 Pro"? If yes does Acrobat wish to address the issue? if already did, where?
I tried the following resolution, but problem is back:
•         Launch Adobe Acrobat.
•         Select Edit.
•         Select Preferences.
•         Select Commenting.
•         Uncheck the following boxes:
Enable text indicators and tool tips.
Ensure that popups are visible as the document is scrolled.
•         Click OK.
•         Select "Select Object Tool" on Advanced Editing Toolbar.
•         Delete comments on the problematic pages.
Any help?

For "1" -
"Location" merely identfies where the PDF is on the end-user's computer.
What you see when you view this while a PDF is open on your computer will not be what I see.
If you come across a technique to hide/remove this for your license of Acrobat on your computer this technique won't be on my computer.
For "2" -
Select Advanced > Security > Encrypt with Password
In the Password Securtiy - Setting dialog locate "Permission" (about half way down).
Tick "Restrict editing and printing of the document. A password will be required in order to change these permission settings."
Configure as desired.
Be well...

'select objects: click and drag to select several objects' doesn't work

I have recently upgraded to Office 2010, and have the same problem as
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/75270638-e02b-4a78-b291-043abbca04ae?prof=required
When I use Select - Select Objects in the Editing part of the ribbon to select multiple drawing shapes, it no longer works like in office 2007. I can't drag a rectangle in the document to select objects within an area.
I would have guessed this is the same problem as the link I refer to, but I'm not running the beta version of 2010. It seems not to be solved.
Anything I can do to fix this?

I have just registered so I could reply to this thread.
The registration process was very ... aehm ... frustrating, I was only able to fill in the correct Captcha after about 10 ties. But ... this is not unexpected, when working with a Microsfoft product. How am I supposed to know whether that bloody captcha
wants me to to write '4Yp8' or '4yP8'. There is no way to tell. You can distinguish capital letters when it is something like A, a or H, h, but not between y and Y or P and p.
I would like to thank all the posters for suggested workarounds. They work. Kinda - sorta ... . I was able to finish the editing of large picture (consisting of many graphics objects) that HAS to be made in word (My boss said so). All your tips saved
me *hours* of frustration.
I would like to tell Microsoft programmers AND their managers, that *if* the quote in the second post is correct:
================
The work needed to make the object selection work as it did in Word 2007 was out of scope for this release. It's not as
simple as using the same feature that existed in the last version since we upgrading our graphics/art features; the way the shapes/objects need to be selected is different than how "old" graphics/art is selectable in Word 2007.
That said, the "select object" tool that exists in Word 2010 should allow you to select individual shapes. You can select
multiple shapes holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key while clicking shapes. You might ask how this is different than selecting shapes without turning on "select objects"; the answer to that would be to allow you to select shapes that are "behind" text, or more
easily select rotated shapes, etc.
================
You are bunch of incompetent amateurs.
If I used such lame excuse for missing important functionality at work, I would be very soon replaced by a more competent programmer.
This time I am not a programmer, I am AN USER. And, as an user I do not care if your internal data structure for new objects doesn't let you do something easily. Find a way to implement that feature or change the data structure. Period.

"select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

"select an object" tool is grayed out in acrobat X Pro

You are correct.
i was confusing select an object with select tool for text and graphics. they look identical.
i always thought it would be a good idea to have some type of explanation that appeared in front of a grayed out option, so the user could understand why it is grayed out
thank you to all the group that helped

Adobe Pro 9 Property Bar issue - No Current Selection

I'm using AP9 Extended. For some reason when I click on Ctrl + E the Property Bar will not display. I get a "No current selection" on one of the bars that are activated. It appears that the only way I can get the Property Bar to display is by highlighting text within a text box that I've created. Once the text is highlighted the Property Bar will display and provide the opportunity to modify text but it will not remain active when I load another .pdf and I have to repeat this "manual process".
Question: Did Adobe make it this way or is it a glitch?
I never had this problem with Adobe Pro 7 or 8.
I'm using XP Home SP3.

I'm not sure if it applies to you, but when I have two (or more) copies of acrobat open I too get "no current selection" & greyed out problems
See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/851/cpsid_85102.html
it also seems to lead to the "invalid annotation object" problems

Help! Adobe crashing on using 'Track Select Forward' tool?

There seems to be a bug in Adobe Premiere Pro CC v8.1, Caravan.
At least once or twice a day when I go to use the 'Track Select Forward' tool, the system crashes?
I am on OSX Yosemite, with 32 GB memory and a AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB Graphics card.
Please advise, and thank you!

You can either use Ctrl Click to add clips to your selection across tracks. Or alternatively if you click with either the Move tool or the Time Selection tool in an blank area on any track the Marquee tool becomes available to draw over any clips on any tracks to select any clip that it touches. Or you can Select All Clips/Tracks and Ctrl click to remove them from the selection.
In your practical example first use the Time selection tool to mark the time that you wish to delete. Then use any of the above methods to select the clips that you wish to affect. Finally use Time Selection in Selected Clips in the Ripple Delete menu to remove the unwanted part. Note the other options in the Ripple Delete menu that may also be useful to you.

Can I use more than 1 e-mail "attach e-mail" selection to send pdfs? - Adobe Pro X

I know that Adobe Pro makes you chose one e-mail but I send regularly and daily several times a day from from several e-mails for several functions for work. It would be nice if I could use Adobe Pro X. Or am I destined to switch to SendNow?
I did notice that the free Adobe Reader XI, will let me send to as many different e-mails as I like if I don't designate a "home" e-mail as I had to with Adobe Pro. Pretty for free.
Thanks,
LibraryLady315

It is not clear what you mean by several e-mails? Do you mean different e-mail clients? If so, probably not. The e-mail is sent to the default mailer specified in your system. If you mean something else, then please explain. When I select "Attach to email" in the file menu of AA8, it goes directly to my default client and opens up an e-mail with the PDF attached.

Zoom-in tool and selected objects

Hi there,
I am wondering about the possibility of making the zoom-in tool directs to the selected Object or Layer, and how that increase the accessibility with the shortcuts like CTRL+(+).
Regards,

Hi,
you should make "selection objects" which represent your rect.s.
they could have a drawMe(Rectangle source, Rectangle dest) method which would be called in the rendering loop. While source represents the selected area of the orignal image and dest the destination aera which drawMe would actually draw the image into.
Source would get set on mouse up after dragging, dest would be set after the click equal to your drawing area.
I'm not sure about the actual image scaling but i think it can be done similar like that: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0243.html.
You dhould definately have a look at javax.imageio.*;just some ideas

HELP!! Unable to select objects with the selection tool

Not sure if I accidently hit a key that I wasn't supposed to, but the selection tool stopped working the way it should. When I put the cursor on top of an object and click the mouse button, nothing happens. Also ctrl A doesn't work. Any suggestions? I've shut down and restarted and that didn't work.

grooveslapp,
To keep previously selected objects selected, ShiftClick the following ones.
If Ctrl+A does not select anything, and if no selection appears in the Info palette (select Objects in the flyout), something else is the matter, and it may be time to Move the folder

Photoshop CC tool options popup appears when selecting a tool

I am using Photoshop CC 2014 on my MacBook Pro (2009 - 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5). I have used Photoshop CC before on a different MacBook Pro (2011) from work, but on my own Mac, the tool bar on the left behaves slightly differently.
When I click on a tool, the tool options popup appears and stays until I click on something else or select an option, before I can even select another tool. Please see the attached screen snip.
I am used to it being that I just click on it once to select a tool, without activating the tool options popup. And if I want to see other options that come with that tool, I click and hold to bring up the popup.
It's kind of annoying and slows me down. I looked everywhere, including preferences, to find a way to turn it off. I have not found it.
Has anyone experienced this? Am I crazy?
Is this a OS Mavericks issue?

Installed Adobe Pro X now unable to convert PDF - Missing PDFMaker Files

Hello,
I installed the trial version of Adobe Pro X and now I am unable to convert a Microsoft Word.doc file to .pdf. The error message is 'Missing PDFMaker Files. Do you want to run the installer to repair mode?' I ran the installer, twice, with the same resulting error message. (Am currently using Windows XP Pro along with Microsoft 2003 - and will upgrade in the new year.) I searched this issue, and found the following:
To manage your Disabled Items list in a Microsoft Office application:
Open the Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Publisher).
Choose Help > About [the application name].
Click Disabled Items.
Select Adobe PDF from the list, and then click Enable.
Quit the Microsoft Office application, and then restart it.
However, there are no applications in the list, including Adobe.
I also tried this:
If the error message continues to appear after you enable Adobe PDF, check the security level for macros in Microsoft Word:
Choose Tools > Macro > Security.
In the Security dialog, click the Security tab.
Choose Medium or High.
Do one of the following:
If you chose Medium, then click OK.
If you chose High, then continue with steps 5 through 7.
Click the Trusted Publishers tab.
Check Trust all installed add-ins and templates.
Click OK.
And Adobe is already there, so no change here.
I have uninstalled the trial version, deleted what visible remnants I could find, restarted the computer, installed the trial version again and am getting the same error message.
Is there a solution to this problem? Or, should I just return to my Adobe Pro 7?
Thank you in advance!
Laura

I recently bought and installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro thinking that X Pro was compatable with Windows XP. I am unable to convert any Microsoft Office 2003 file into a PDF. I receive the same error message as above ( "Missing PDFMaker Files") and tried running it in repair mode as suggested. No change.
I've tried this stuff:
To manage your Disabled Items list in a Microsoft Office application:
Open the Microsoft Office application (Word, Excel, Publisher).
Choose Help > About [the application name].
Click Disabled Items.
Select Adobe PDF from the list, and then click Enable.

How to correct bad PDF display of Excel 2007 graph-Adobe Pro X?

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro X; previously had Adobe Pro 8, which worked fine. Have Excel 2007 files with an Excel graph and a JPG image on the spreadsheet tab. Both the graph and the JPG are too big, are displaced, and hide spreadsheet data, when the Excel file is Saved As a PDF using Adobe Pro dialog or Excel dialog, or the Excel Plug-In to Create PDF. For some strange reason, printing to PDF works, although that is limiting. All of the settings are the same for the Adobe Printer as Adobe Pro settings. Changing them or going to default did not help. Just did the latest update; that did not help.
The graph and JPG are too large for the PDF page. Paper printing from Excel still works fine. Producing a PDF on another machine with Pro 8 still works fine. Could not find this problem discussed anywhere. Using XP, fully patched. This should not be a complicated process, nor a complex spreadsheet. What is going on?
Thanks

Regardless of the method and Adobe product used to create the PDF, including the Excel tool button, the single common factor whether the PDF correctly displays a JPG or graph in the Excel file that is being done at anything other than 100% size is whether the Adobe Printer or a Physical Printer is selected as the default printer in the Windows Printers and Faxes-Settings. This is true even though the printer is not being used. I have created the same PDF using every method/product and the results are always the same, and only properly display when either the setting is 100% size or the system printer is selected as Adobe Printer. This is true only after installing Adobe X (8 was previously installed, and worked as expected).

You say the settings for the printer work fine, but do not for PDF Maker (I am assuming this is what you meant). PDF Maker no longer uses the printer and the settings are independent. Check the settings for PDF Maker under the create PDF menu.
