Watermarks on pdfs that don't show up except while working in acrobat
I have tried everything and can't get my watermark to show except when I'm working on the PDF in acrobat. Once it's been created, the watermark does not appear. I have checked the boxes that say: "show while viewing" and "show while printing". This is my first time. I've watched several videos, gone over and over each item in the diaglogue box. Help!
I really appreciate this help.
I'm using Acrobat X. And on mine, there IS a page range option--it's in the upper righthand corner of the dialogue box, in mine, it's red and underlined. You can choose all pages or select a page range. I selected all pages each time.
Now I'm really stumped. I went through your steps doing exactly what you said, first one one page and then on my 192-page doc (a copy of it), and it has worked perfectly on both!
I SWEAR I did exactly this before and the watermark did not show up in Apple preview, only in Acrobat Pro. I wonder what I was doing wrong? Possibly the "save as"? I don't know.
In any event, you are an angel. I will keep these instructions and follow them. I am really scratching my head as I read everything I could find about how to do it, the point was well made that you had to save it. I think I tried just saving it and also "save as"....but this has definitely worked and I am VERY VERY grateful to you.
Many many many thanks!!

How 2 - embed watermark in PDF that obscures content if copied
I'm being asked to embed a watermark into corporate documentation that would - when an attempt is made to photocopy - obscure the content to a degree that the copy would be useless.
Can this be done in Acrobat, or is a thrid-party vendor app required?I'm not explaining the demand well enough. You're right, the app won't effect the photo
copier. What I'm being asked to do ("attempt" is a better way of describing this) is to create a watermark in the PDF that has the attributes ofl:
a) not obscuring the document when printed from the hard-drive.
b) significantly obsuring the document if the printed document is photocopied (like the old school method of putting black type on a red background).
SHHEESH!
I've seen a few very expensive thrid-party apps that will allow for this type of "redaction", but I don;t have a $1500 budget for this little effort. So ... -
ITunes says I have apps sync'd on my iPod that don't show up...
When I sync my iPod, iTunes' window of my iPod shows that I have about 6 more apps on it than do actually show up. Please see attached screencaps. The first one is from the iTunes window for my iPod and the second is a screencap from my actual iPod. You can see that the first 3 apps are the same, but then there are the ones that don't appear on my iPod even though iTunes indicates that they are.
Any thoughts on this and how to rectify would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
ChrisDo you have any Restrictions set that would hid those apps on the iPod? Settings>General>Restrictions

How do I delete photo albums from my IPhone that don't show up in Itunes?
I have an IMac recently upgraded to OSX 10.9. My Iphone is a 4S running 7.0.4. I know how to manage songs and photos using ITunes, but somehow my entire photo library has been synched to my IPhone. The odd thing is the photos don't show up when I run the Preview Application (one way to remove photos from the IPhone). Only the Camera Roll photos show up there. And in ITunes I do not have any albums checked to synch. I have no idea how the albums got onto my phone, and no idea how to remove them.
In ITunes, I make sure no photo albums are selected, and I choose "synch," but they just won't remove from the Iphone. When I look under "Settings" "General" on my Iphone sometimes it shows over 8,000 photos and sometimes 2,000 photos. But the albums never are removed. Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
I'm about ready to do a factory reset. Can anyone help????. Another strange thing is that in ITunes "Photos" at the bottom where you see the colored visuals of what applications are using space "Other" consumes more than half my space.
that can sometimes happen, when trying to update the software failed. Then partially downloaded updates will take up a lot of space. Photos synced to iDevices can only be removed by syncing again.
If syncing again with just one small album with a single photo selected will not remove the synced albums, back up the iPhone to iTunes and restore the device to factory settings:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Restoring should get rid of the "other" and the synced albums. -
USB Disks Drives that don't show up in AEBS
USB Disks Drives that down show up in AEBS
NOTE: This thread is about drives that are not seen / recognized by the Apple Airport Express Base Station 802.11n (AEBS) when attached to the USB port of the AEBS. Drives that are not seen by the computer, but are seen by the AEBS should go in another thread.
I know some of us are having problems getting out USB hard drives to work with the AEBS. If you launch the airport utility and manage your AEBS but your drive does NOT show up under the disk tab.
I know it’s not a formatting problem so I assume this is a hardware related issue. There has to be a common flaw in out drives
I have a Seagate Momentous 7200.3 installed in a generic USB enclosure. I figure the problem is because of…
1) A Generic Chipset
2) It’s USB Powered (not externally powered)
By going into the System Profiler (Apple • About this Mac • more info) and if I click on the drive name under USB I get the following details
1) It draws 500 mA
2) Transfers 480 Mb/s
3) Product ID 0x6390
4) Vendor ID 0x058f
Right now it’s formatted using a Journaled HFS+ file system
It would be great if other users of the AEBS could report information about any drives that do not show up in the AEBS.
Thanks
Mac mini 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.9)Neither my LaCie 500 Gb or my Crossfire 250 Gb (both externally powered) show up in the AEBSn. Both of them appeared in the AEBSn for a couple of weeks. The only change I can think of is that I upgraded to 10.4.9.
I've done all the resets, but the AEBSn just cannot identify them.
I put a call into AppleCare this evening, but the Level 1 guy knew less than I did. I'm waiting for a callback from AppleCare. If I hear anything I'll put it in the forum.
My guess from the HD/AEBSn problems in the forums here is that there is a bug, which with time our good friends at Apple will iron out.
Shame, because I bought the AEBSn because of Airdisk, but I'm bowled over by its speed and range. -
How can I see photos in iphoto 7.1.4 that don;t show up?
There are photos on my hard drive (under originals) that do not show up in Iphoto 7. When I try to drag the photos over to I photo from the Originals file, I get an error message saying that the photo already exists in the library.
Katie
Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
first you should never be mucking around in your iphoto library and especially you should never move or change any files inside the iPhoto library - doing so may corrupt your iPhoto library and cause you to lose data
Second you can not import photos into iPhoto from the iPhoto library - this is to protect you from damaging your library and to prevent creating duplicates
What specifically is the problem? how did the photos get into the iPhoto library? have you modified the iPhoto library using the finder in the past?

Interactive PDF - Buttons don't show on mobile/ipad
Hello!
I'm creating an ebook. I have two issues I need help with regarding buttons and interactivity.
1) How do I link an image to a later page?
For example, I'm introducing contributors--but want to offer readers the ability to fast track to their bio page (at the end of the document) and weblinks...
2) Why are my interactive buttons not showing up on mobile or ipad?
I'm trying to include social icons that link to contributors social channels. Why do these show up and work in Adobe Acrobat Pro--but not on my iphone and ipad?
Here is the link for my PDF (very much a work in progress).

How do I delete an iphone pdf that doesn't show up in ibooks or itunes?

Downloaded PDF files don't show description or "i" link to summary
I am including a PDF file in a podcast. The xml has both an <itunes:subtitle> section and an <itunes:summary> section for the PDF <item>.
Before the PDF file is downloaded in iTunes the subtitle shows in the description column and the summary is available via the "i" link on the right side of the description column.
After the PDF file is downloaded in iTunes both the subtitle/description text and the "i" link disappear.
There seems to be no way to access that information once the PDF is downloaded. The same issue does not affect audio or video files.
Does anyone know if this is by design (why?) or is it a bug in iTunes?I'm not sure i know what you mean because there's nothing to configure there. All you can do, is tick boxes and the dimension boxes are all ticked - you can see so in the screenshot otherwise they wouldn't show up. I also unticked "hide empty fields" because otherwise, it won't show them either. Yesterday I went through the entire list to see if there was more meta data that contained dimensions but there's none.

PDF files don't show dimensions data
I work in a printing office and we have a file server full of PDF files (made with Illustrator CS1-> CS4). Before, we used a custom search program to search for PDF files but we came to the conclusion that it would be handier to use Bridge to search, because we'd get a thumbnail AND get the additional metadata (allowing us to sort according to size, colours, etc.)
The problem is, when I display a list of all our PDFs in Bridge, the "Dimensions in cm" in Metadata is empty! The only dimensions I see, are in pixels which, as you can imagine, is useless to us. Despite this, Acrobat correctly shows the file size in milimeters as you can see below (left screenshot). It remains a mystery to me why Bridge (made by the same company!) isn't capable of displaying this info which acrobat can clearly extract.
Is there a way to fix this? It seems like a glaring oversight if not - the option is clearly there but none of our PDFs show it.I'm not sure i know what you mean because there's nothing to configure there.

Artifacts in Bridge Output that don't show in Photoshop CS4
Hello,
I'm new to using Adobe Bridge and I used the output function to check on the resolution/condition of an image. I am seeing artifacts in Bridge that are not visible in Photoshop. Likewise the image looks very poor in Bridge but is crisp and clear in Photoshop. The image that I'm looking at is a 8 1/2 x 11" 300 dpi. Why would these look completely different in the two programs? Do I need to adjust a setting or does Bridge trump Photoshop in terms of what will ultimately print?
Best,
MelindaJohn,
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me.
I used the settings:
Custom
Page Preset: US Paper
Size 8.5 x 11
Quality 300 dpi.
But I also fooled around with a ton of other combinations (in terms of the template setting) although I have no clue what they mean and got the same result.
If I went back to the image and used the eraser function to "clean" up the artifacts that I couldn't see in a particular area and generated a new preview they were gone in that area. That's what's having me a bit concerned. They do not show up in Photoshop or in a PDF generated by InDesign.
Very strange...

Methods for Signing PDF that don't require hardware solution?
The company I work for has a client that wants to be able to sign PDF's so that they, by default, show up in Adobe Acrobat as being digitally signed by an autorized cert provider. We have been doing some research and contacting companies and so far it seems the only solution is an expensive one that reuires purchasing a piece of hardware that can sign them. We do have a requirement to integrate the signing of PDF's into our own software so that it can be automated (a manual solution won't work).
I would appreciate if anyone has any advice on what we should look into regarding this.

Since I (reluctantly) abandoned MobileMe and switched to iCloud, when I use Mail Connection Doctor because a problem is indicated with one or more of my email acocunts, it shows both iCloud IMAP and Me.com SMTP accounts. The iCloud account is fine but the SMTP acount has a red button against it.
So Connection Doctor shows the old SMTP account always failing to connect (of course - as it's been abandoned). However, this account does not show up in the Accounts Preferences pane so I am not able to delete it. This also happens with another account which I deleted in the Preferences pane some time ago.
How can I stop these phantom accounts appearing in Connection Doctor? It's very irritating to constantly have faults indicated which apply to abandoned accounts.
Thanks people!Go to your iCloud account in Preferences>Accounts. Set the 'Outgoing mail server (SMTP)' drop-down menu to 'Edit SMTP server list'. Then:
Set the server name as shown here. Then click the Advanced tab and check the settings.
If you are still having problems, you could start the setup again from scratch. Assuming that your signature is correct and you are running Leopard, delete any iCloud or MobileMe accounts in the list and then follow the instructions here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard -

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
For now I will assume Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
1. Go to and open Project Assets palette. Look to the top left of Project Assets and see three icons.
From left to right, they are Show Hide Video, Show Hide Image, and Show Audio. Please assure that all 3 are in the Show mode.
2. Since your opened project apparently has no assets, please check the name of the opened project to assure that you have not somehow overwritten the project that you are looking for and have opened a new project.
3. If you have worked with the AutoSave On during the creation of the project, go to the Adobe Premiere Elements AutoSave Folder and
determine if you can find an AutoSave file which will have most of the content of the missing project. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, the default location
of that Adobe Premiere Elements AutoSaves Folder is
Libraries
Documents
Adobe
Premiere Elements
13.0 , if you are working with 13
and in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements AutoSave Folder which has the AutoSave files.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Stacks - how to access ALL files? (those that don't show)
I have my Application folder in my dock.
I used to, under tiger, click on it.
type 'v'... 'p'.... then apple-O to get my VPN client.
type 'v'...'i'.. then apple-O to get visual hub.
Or I could click then scroll around in the folder to find the apps I want, including sub-folders. Now I am limited to the first 100 apps!
Agghh! How do I turn off stacks on my Apps folder?I am hoping and wishing and praying that the next Leopard revision will have the ability to return to the good old - actually efficient - Dock folder behavior. Stack is such a huge step away from efficiency. (And it's not even pretty.) But for now there is a sort of solution....
On VersionTracker.com I found HierarchicalDock (freeware) and Quay (inexpensive shareware). I have not figured out quite what they're doing, but they're apps. That folder you want to dock - you drag it onto the app's floating window. It does some magic, then you drag that folder from the floating window into the Dock. You get your good old, icon-that-YOU-want on the docked item and it behaves the way you want it to - which is to see all of the contents and be able to access items within folders within that folder.
I'm also not happy about the reflection. It makes icons smaller or the Dock larger. Items get stuck behind the Dock like in early OSX days. These apps don't address that. (Other apps do.) But at least we can once again actually tell what's in our Dock and USE the Dock again.
Someone here asked whether we really need to access a bunch of things in our folders. I sure do! My Docked folders are always changing (which is why these 2 apps are still not a great solution for me).
Apple, please hear your loyal users and do us the favor of bringing back Dock Classic. (It's the one thing not great about Leopard.)
