What program filenames are used to create PDFs?

We are in school where we restrict what type of programs the students can access by filenames (e.g. Word.exe, Excel.exe), using the Windows 2003 Group Policy "Run only Windows Applications" policy.
I've added all the programs I can in the Adobe folder into the policy(e.g. Acrobat.exe and so forth).
However, whenever the students try to create a PDF from an application, say Word 2003, the restrictions kick in "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your systems administrator."
Printing to physical printers works fine. It's only when I try to print to Adobe PDF does the error message occur. I can't find out what program adobe is trying to use to create the PDF.
I've tried process tracking and the registry to find out what uses it and I can't find it.
When I try as a student going into Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and try to Create PDF....from file.... the "Starting the application which created the selected document. Please wait" appears then states: "Acrobat could not open xrd.doc' because it is wither not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an e-mail attachment and wasn't properly decoded).
To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
Which, of course, I've tried as the first step.
The clients are running Windows XP Service Pack 2, with Office 2003 as the program they are trying to create from.
The software being used is Adobe Web Premium CS3.
Server Enviorment: Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 2
Client Spec: Pentium 4, 512Mb-1024Mb of memory, 40 gig hard disk
Can anyone help? Some students need to create PDF documents as part of their coursework and time is looming.

That worked!
Now getting the error message "Adobe PDF Creation cannot continue because Acrobat is not activated," but looking at the KB for a solution for that. It still prints out the PDF fine.
Many Thanks.

What port numbers are used when creating temporary queues

Using the following code as an example, what port(s) are used when creating temporary queues? Is it a range of ports? Is it random? And is it configurable? If you have any insight on this, please let me know. Thanks.
QueueConnection con = connectionFactory.createQueueConnection();
QueueSession session = con.createQueueSession(true, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
TemporaryQueue replyQueue = session.createTemporaryQueue();

The only ports I know about are the defaults ports:
JMS 7676
IIOP 3700
Are these the only ports that are used, even for temporary queues?

What programs should I use for creating a children's ebook with animated illustration?

I'd like to create children's book for iPad with hand-drawn illustrations that are animated but in a simple way (like bubbles flying and popping). What programs should I use?
Thanks in advance,

Impossible to answer, I’m afraid. There’s just not enough details here and the very fact that you’re asking tells me that you should be very careful in choosing how to get this project done.

What Program Should I use to create motion vector intro?

Hello,
I am creating an intro to a series I am making for a client. I will be animating vector images that I have created in Illustrator by saving them as ".ai" files. In the past I have created a similar project using Premiere Pro CS6 using ".png" files in hopes of saving time and processing power.(However, the final product's quality was not where it should have been.) Would it be more beneficial to create this project in After Effects CS6? What are the benefits of using vector images in After Effects rather than Premiere? Are they any benefits? Also if you have any experience creating animation in these programs I would love to hear any advice seeing that I am new to this type of work.
Thanks,
Alex

What is the final destination of your animation, are you producing this to go on a DVD, or a website. After Effects is superior to Premiere in animation capabilities of vector objects (which really turn into bitmpaped objects for the final rendering no matter what program you use) , but Premiere is quicker for splicing videos together and putting transitions in between them.
If the final quality is not where it should have been your settings were not correct. My advice is to use an experienced professional to do this job for you, until you learn more about quality control for animation.

What program should I use to create print ads?

I am trying to create ads to go in magazines and am trying to figure out which program is the best to use. I heard either Illustrator or InDesign.

That's way to broad and generic a question. Depending on what kind of ads, one would use possible Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat - all of them, not just one.

What program should i use to open pdf files, documents for email attachments. Adobe is not working

I can not open any email attachments-large or small. I had adobe and switched to internet explorer. I do not have any other choices on my computer to pick from other than word pad and it opened the attachment but was not readable.

Please download and install the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the following weblink that will help you to open and read all the PDF files:

I would like to create a document with imbedded video, to email, and airdrop to an iPad mini. What program should I use?

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
I would suggest using Apple's Pages which allows support for imbedding videos from the device's camera roll. Pages also allows for sharing via email, Air Drop, and Messages.

I feel I must move beyond iMovie, what program should I use ?

I have been happily using iMovie and iDVD from versions 1 through 6. iMovie 08 was so bad that Apple made iMovie 06 available as a free download for buyers of iMovie 08. The newer iMovies were better, but they seemed “dumbed down” (even for me). Now, I am shocked and horrified to learn that the latest iMovie does not even set chapter markers!
So, I have continued to use iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 (they seem to work fine under OS 10.9.4).   iMovie 06 is now 8 years old! I feel compelled to move forward. A lot of my work is DV.    In the past, most of my source material came out of S-Video.   I used a Canopus ADVC300 analog-to-digital converter that gave good results.   Going forward, I will have more video utilizing Component Video, or HDMI.
I am looking into 2 possibilities, Adobe Premiere elements 12, or.........Final Cut Pro X.
The final result of my work is almost always a DVD.   It is hard for me to move from iMovie and iDVD. I never read the manuals for either program, yet, I was able to produce DVDs with nice menus and overall quality close to Hollywood.
It looks like Final Cut Pro X 'can' make a DVD directly without other software. However, from what I have seen on YouTube the result is primitive compared to what iDVD was doing 10 years ago.
Adobe Premiere elements 12 can make nice DVDs and Blu-ray's directly. I have no problem with using a separate program to make DVDs but I haven't got a clue how to do that with Final Cut Pro X.   I suppose I can still use iDVD, but now I'm back to using discontinued software.
I do not need any of the high-powered affects capability that Final Cut Pro X possesses. My “movie-making” is mostly confined to simple editing (the old iMovie 06 did all I needed).
Frankly, one motivation for choosing Final Cut Pro X, is the excellent, compassionate and understanding support that the kind people on this very forum provide. So, what program should I use?

to turn perspective for a second by 180°:
Why do you want to switch to a new editor anyhow?
• iM-a never did discs - that was iDVDs job = no big change in your workflow
• iDVD is still working, and aside obsolete, complex and $$$$ DVDSP (part of obsolete FC/p) or Encore (part of Adobes CC rent package) your only option left to create disks on MacOS is indeed iDVD (...ok, there's Toast and Burn and some weird 'shareware'-stuff...)..
• iMovie-b supports the new HDef formats (AVCHD) - you mentioned converters and DVDs = no HDef in use, in your habitat, correct?
• if you don't need FCPX' bling-bling (I can't imagine that ) - why not using FCPX-lite = iMovie? 15$ ...
• chapters could be done in iDVD - just to mention that ............
• AP and FCPX are following very different concepts in usage - my personal preference is 200% on FCPX, … I was one of the loudest nay-sayers, when iM08 araised, meanwhile, FCPX is my dream!! AP (tested it) is way too complex, crowded, 'optionalized' and did I mention 'complex' for me. A bit like Windows vs. MacOS: 'everything goes' (incl. getting lost) vs. 'convenience' (incl. restrictions) ... After 2y of practice, I'm editing my weekly hobby-projects with 6-cam-Multicam, incl. tons of custom graphics, slow-mow, effects (soccer games) in less than 2h ... awesome!
summary:
• why switching?
• use iMovie10 + iDVD
• Premiere (or Premiere Elements!) and FCPX are both avail as fee trial ... test it - but you need iDVD anyhow
• 'disks' is a dwindling niché, for years!- consider to switch to 'other' distribution options
... what are 'chapters' anyhow??... (kid din'!)

What program do I use to open a .bundle?

This sounds like a rediculous question. Also you might not think it was applicable to windows compatibility but it is. I downloaded a dmg of a program called "WINE" (stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator). In it, it has a file called Wine.bundle. Well when I double click on it, it asks me what program I should use to open it. I frankly have no idea... I mean I thought .bundles were just something it opened up. Just like an exe (or more like a zip file I guess) on a windows machine. It's really annoying... I just wanna play a game...:(

The simple and short answer is that .bundle files are helpers for something else to use. They're not necessarily the "application" that you would double-click and execute.
Your version of Wine may require that X11 also be installed from your Mac OS X installer disks.

VPN Questions... What program should I use?

I need to connect to a Watchguard Firebox X1000. The only program that I can find that might work is VPN Tracker. I just want to know what program everyone else uses to vpn and why. And if anyone else is in the same predicament as I.

I need to connect to a Watchguard Firebox X1000. The
only program that I can find that might work is VPN
Tracker. I just want to know what program everyone

the same predicament as I.
It looks like the watchguard supports ipsec and pptp - so you ought to be able to use the built in client.
If you want to use ipsec and are behind NAT, you can go with vpntracker($) - if you aren't behind NAT you can probably use ipsecuritas(free).
As for what I use - I use windows built-in ipsec because NAT-T isn't broken in it (hint hint apple... and I refuse to pay what I consider to be too much for vpn tracker, which is mostly a GUI for raccoon (built in open source IPSEC tool). (of course vpn tracker did fix NAT-T with thier own kernel extension - so I would use it if it were less expensive...)

What program should i use to archive my photos ?

what program should i use to archive my photos ? i have tried aperture and the mage browsing program that comes with canon, but i just cant find the right program to be fast and efficent ! any suggestions ?

" work for a news paper so i have a large amount of photos coming and going in my system, so i need a program that is faster and more efficient that aperture"
I believe you are looking for a lightweight image browser/viewer that supports basic editing. I highly recommend Lyn and believe it is the exact program for your purposes. It is $20, but you are offered a free 30$ trial.
