What to do when Adobe's indifference is "destroying" your business?  Where to contact when normal Adobe support don't help?

I have tried to get help 2 weeks using Adobe customer service. I have chatted with supervisors and normal staff “million times” and only one time I have talked with normal phone support. Phone support promised follow up the case and call me back next day between 9-10 am but nobody called. Many times chat support have swear that someone from phone support will call me back but I haven’t get any call. Every time chat support just apologize and say that we understand that you are frustrated. Every time chat support says that someone will get back to me by email / phone asap. No emails or calls as they have promised.  I have got 2 times email and emails including something which not help anything, when I contact again to the chat support they just apologize and say that someone get back to me again. But nobody get. Last 3 days they have said that I have to just wait, my case has transferred to the upper level. But same time they promised that someone from upper level will contact me urgently… they will call me and send email. No calls/no emails. Yesterday supervisor from normal chat support promised that someone will call me night time because this is only time when “upper level team” is working. But again… last night I did not get any call. Nobody sent even email.
Now my question: What I can do if normal support don't help... case is transferred to the upper level but I don't get any feedback from there– can I call somewhere, can I email somewhere? I can’t just wait. My product is expiring next Tuesday, Adobe Creative Cloud last update deleted all files and folder from my computer and changed my storage size to be 2GB, it was before 71GB… and I can’t renew my CC subscription because on my account has some “error”, it’s not accept my credit card payments.
I already had to cancel my yesterday meetings because did not have presentations to show, all gone. For one meeting I went without presentation and try to explain something, you know what happened.
Next week is most important week in company history and now we try to do here all presentations from the beginning because Adobe don’t give any helps! This Adobe’s indifference might cost for us millions. Case is not easy to explain shortly but main question is… can I call somewhere? I am living in Thailand. Normal phone support / chat support not work in this case.
Or is the only choice post all conversations in social media and let everyone know how Adobe works. Maybe people start to share my posts and Adobe starts to get very negative publicity and maybe someone will contact me then. I have unbelievable comments etc. from the customer service, if I will post it Adobe / support looks really foolish.
Note: don’t never trust that your files are safe in Adobe Cloud. If you don’t take safe copies every minute you might be dead. Everyone who is using Illustrator and use linked file know also that most of links not work when you copy files to the other location, if your Illustrator file includes 100 pictures, maybe you have to link all again and this takes time. And if you have 100 files which all have 100 links...

Unfortunately, not an answer... but wanted to chime in that I could have written this! Because I have had the exact same experiences over and over and over with Adobe. "Indifference" is definitely the right term. Been promised so many times that someone will call me back and no one EVER does. I've had maybe 2 very good phone support experiences out of maybe 20 awful ones. Phone tells you to go to chat... chat tells you to go to forums... and forums have never once answered my questions even when they told me they would have an expert review my post and answer it. I have so much wasted time invested with Adobe. Now, my account is cancelled due to non payment. My fault, been a rough couple of months. Well, there was no obvious place to post payment to "continue" my subscription. So I get on chat, and they send me a link to the payment portal. I enter my info and I get "Sorry, we're experiencing technical issues. Please check back soon." I tell chat this and they tell me to check back later, that all their tools are down. I asked when, and of course they don't know. Always the same. This was just tonight. 2 hours later.. still can't pay my account.
I've written to management with direct contact info to a particular manager. Never heard a word back. I dream of the day when someone launches a design suite like adobe's or better... but also with awesome customer support. I will be so gone Adobe.. and won't ever look back.. won't miss you in the least.
I was also a victim of the big Adobe hack a while back and my info was compromised. Think anyone offered me even a month free? Pshaw... right!

    I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
    I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
    Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
    Thank you so much,

    Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
    I also can save drafts now on both computers.
    Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
    Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
    Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
    Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
    IMAP for both accounts.
    Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
    The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
    'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
    On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
    On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
    Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
    The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
    The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
    On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
    Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
    Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
    Thank you so much,

  • Microsoft auto loaded what appears to be a new XP file that has changed the entire desktop and made my Firefox bookmarks go away. What is the name of the bookmark file and extension and where can I find it? Thanks for the help. Spit on you Microsoft.

    If I find the old bookmark file, I'm assuming I can restore it. I found an old bookmark file, but don't know where the current bookmarks are. Any idea?

    I just started a free trial of the Adobe XI product that allows me to create an editable PDF. I'm done creating the form and ready to export it. When I click Export PDF from the File menu, it says Adobe encountered an unexpected error. What am I doing wrong?

    Good to know  — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
    "Adobe" is the name of the company.
    "XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
    Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have  an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
    "Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
    The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
    Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
    Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
    So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
    What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
    Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both? 
    Be well....

    Hi DeaconTomColorado,
    Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
    Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

    Hi Prabhuram and falez,
    This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?

    This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
    Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
    At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
    On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened)

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

  • What happened to the default folder set (for your own libraries) in Edit/Preferences, in Adobe Photoshop CC?

    Once again I come to my computer, and it's not the way I left it. While I love cloud, I think in some way, the concept of Customer Service i.e. Providing a Service to a Customer "Set Service, for a Set Price" has lost the value of "service"
    I find it extremely disheartening, to always be dealing with changes Adobe makes, it costs me an exorbitant amount of time. I don't work with a team, so it's just me. And every other week, there is some changes, when my 3D quite working in CS6 I had no forewarning, just woke up one morning and "Poof" no more 3D, the software turned off the feature in my CS6, however, it did work in CC.
    The things I find most disheartening
    features quit working with NO PRIOR WARNING.
    Plug-ins, libraries what, now have to be stored in the cloud in order for MY system to automatically see them?
    Again No Default Libraries on our machines ( unless you think I'm going to store 2 Terabytes of libraries on the cloud and/or in my AppData Directory *not*  Nothing but system/program files themselves go on my Primary drive, everything else is on external drives, this is a security issue and one I'm not about to change, nor should anyone have to change it, since it is a *best practices* standard.
    I still can't access items in (for instance: Color Themes created on Kuler, are available on my computer, but not for me to put them into a library on the cloud. I have over 100 color themes there I have created, on my Creative Cloud account, why can they not be imported or drag/drop into the library designated for it. When I log into my Cloud Account on My iPad it is the same cloud account as on my PC, yet it doesn't even see my previously created color scheme's? Why? Does anyone have any ideas?
    I use a font manager for Windows called High-Logic, a Font Manager, Creator and a Scanner for Hand Writing Fonts Great Program, I've had it for over a year, while there is no plugin for Photoshop there is for In-Design and for Photoshop, I use the Font Manager on my computer to activate the font I want and it shows up in the Character Tool Box automatically.  Yet, just in the last week, every time I try and create something in Photoshop, I'm fine, until I go to use a font, at which time, my working project goes "dark" ( no longer visible) until I click on another tool in Photoshop.
    I cannot keep having these issues, it's way too time consuming, it's exorbitantly time consumer attempting to get a response to questions in the forums (no one's fault, it's just the nature of the forums themselves)
    The true cost of a product is not only in it's subscription based fee, but also includes the time it takes to keep up with product changes, additional training, the cost of delivery (cable connections/provider).  So far since the first of the year I have logged over 100 hours to either 'fix something that quit working with no notice', time spent re-reading documentation seeking a solution, time spent perusing the forums for a solutions, or posting a question, time spent in additional training/books, etc."
    While I understand I'm relatively new, as I had a 5 years off from working, I went from Macromedia Suite 8 to CS5.5 -full suite  (heck-of a learning curve)
    Yet, I cannot believe I am the only person having these issues, otherwise the forums wouldn't be so full.
    I did try limiting the permissions to not allow Adobe to update the software automatically, however, the permissions I wrote, were in fact re-written by adobe's cloud synchronization, Which I did find disturbing on a few levels. None of which I'll go into, but it needed to be mentioned that *yes, I tried that too*.
    *I ended up re-configuring my machine AGAIN* and deleting CS6 altogether, The performance change after I deleted CS6, was/is the difference and why I am still with my cloud membership.
    **I have reconfigured my machine numerous times, to facilitate the cloud, I am on a PC, Adobe and Microsoft Development Environments do not play well together, I ended up removing them altogether and creating a vm for them and basically all my development work. And have twice since reconfigured it for various reasons.

    Hi
    One of the reasons that Edge fonts and web fonts are though to be preferable to the old font stacks was because of Android tablets/smartphones only having the Droid font family available, (Android 4.3 added the Roboto font family also).
    This meant that Android device users defaulted to the 'Droid' font or a user installed font. The default font if the user had installed a custom font and set it as default, could be anything, (even a comic script font) thus possibly destroying your text and/or layout completely.
    If you are not using an Edge font or a downloadable font do not forget to set the last three fonts in your font stack to -
    '...., Roboto variant, Droid variant, default font'

    I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?  I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended.  I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business.  I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now.  Hopefully you can help me.  Thanks.

    Thank you for your reply.
    You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
    that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
    different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
    etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
    the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
    If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
    But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
    HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
    at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
    Best results depend on you
    a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
    you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
    b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
    customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
    and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
    the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
    Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
    I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
    and it is low quality
    Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
    the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
    Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.
