Unhappy with Reader for PC Software

I agree 100% with the previous posts. Reader PC is simply the worst app I've ever come across. I just purchased two PRS-T1 Readers and have spent many hours now trying to manage audio files, with no success.
In addition, the operation of the audio app is very poor. A $10 MP3 player outperforms this unit by a long shot. When you set the unit to "shuffle" it shuffles only within the album, not the whole library. This alone renders the audio part of this unit useless.
Come on Sony. Get this fixed fast. I will never recommend this product until a thorough fix is in.

Gosh... I wish I'd read this before purchasing my PRS-T1. USER-978426 is being way to kind. This may be the worst software ever created. These reviews should be posted on Amazon, where they are more findable, as well as here.
If you are considering a purchase, run, don't walk from this device. The reader works fine. The Sony "Reader for PC" software is an abomination, as is Sony tech support for this product. I have owned the reader for about 7 months and it has consistently produced errors: "Internal Server Error -40322 (413)"... how helpful is that... when the device is plugged into my PC. At other times it just hangs or crashes. I have spent hours on the phone with their tech support trying to resolve the problem, to no avail. I let one of Sony's tech support people remote in to my PC to fix the problem... he couldn't fix it but, in the process of trying, he wiped out a book with about 40 hours of notes, highlights, cross references, etc. that I had prepared for a class. Yesterday I spent several more hours with Sony Tech Support trying to solve the sync problem. He had me remove all the books from my Sony "Reader for PC" library. When I plugged my reader back in today, it wiped out ALL the remaining books, including notes, highlights, etc., on my reader... totally without warning or any action on my part. No "You are about to delete... do you want to continue" message. Well over a hundred hours of work down the drain. When I called Tech support this morning all they could say was "I apologize, your work is not recoverable." To add insult to injury, after removing all my books and notes from my reader, the PC software once again said "Internal Server Error -40322 (413)"
I paid more for this reader because I felt it was worth it to get the best... what I got was the worst. This is literally the worst product experience I have ever had. Sony... what happened to ya?

How can I delete pages in a PDF document with Reader for iPad?

Is there a way to do this within Reader? I know you can do it with MAX PDF or PDF Splicer, but I was hoping for a native way to delete - for example - 2 pages from a 10 page document and then resave it to Dropbox, email it, or something along those lines...
I assume if you cannot delete, then you cannot merge 2 documents into one?
Thanks

I figured the app might have that ability - considering you can add text, highlight, add a signature, annotate and draw - so my thought was why not delete a page, or rearrange for that matter?.. That should be an option, this way we don't have to export to one of the other apps to delete or rearrange..
Thanks for the help, Bernd.
BTW if anyone is looking - PDF Max can do all of the above and delete and rearrange. With PDF Splicer you can delete and rearrange as well, but it has no other features.
And as for Steve Werner whose comment was deleted after it got to my inbox, it is much more than a Reader, as you can plainly see from the amount of tasks the Reader app can do above.

Signing docs with Reader for windows 8.1 RT

On first glace it looks as if the reader I found in the MS store for ARM processors does not have the freehand drawing tool I have in other version of the Reader.
Is this correct or am I missing something. I sure hope so otherwise I have bought this tablet all for nothing, as that is the reason I went to windows Surface instead to trying to figure similar things out on Android.

Enabling Commenting with Reader for multiple files

Hello,
I am trying to enable a great amount of files for commenting with Adobe Reader 9. I know how to enable each single file through the comments menu, but doing this for 1000+ files could take me quite a bit of time. Is there any way to automatize this process? Somehow I can't find that option through batch processing... Thanks!

Specifically, NO, with Acrobat. Adobe sell a high end product, once
called LiveCycle Reader Extensions but I've lost track of the name,
which will do this - hence the absence in Acrobat.

A PDF document with information about activation for CS6 software

Here's a PDF document with information about activation for CS6 software.
I found it very useful for understanding how the system worked for activation of perpetual licenses, both in cases where the computer is and isn't connected to the Internet.

Ann, with some browsers, the PDF document will download in the background rather than appear in a browser window.

Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

Requirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book. I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together.
- I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
Have a look here ...

Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

Greetings,
I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
It all really depends on your demographic audience.
Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.
