  • Bex Analyzer Workbook Refresh - How to prevent take over of desktop

    Hi there,
    I believe the answer to this queston will be use bex broadcaster but I will try and see if someone has any other experience.
    One of our upper mgmt directors is frustrated because when he refreshes the bex analyzer workbooks, the refresh takes over his desktop.
    He will kick off the refresh and then wants to go to another task - Like checking something on AS400 screen - or going to check his email - or working in word.
    The refresh of the workbook is long running and has several queries to refresh so it monopolizes his desktop.
    He will go to the other screens but bex refresh keeps popping up and taking over.
    I do not know any other way to have it run in the background unless bex broadcaster is used.  Unfortunately, we are in the process of getting that upgraded and it is not available at this time.
    Does anyone have any experience with having the excel refresh run in the background?
    Thank you,
    Lynda

  • When I download Adobe Reader it takes over my Internet Explorer Browser and other browsers.

    When I download Adobe Reader on my Windows 7, it takes over my Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser and any browser I use.  Is there anyway to correct this problem without re-installing Windows 7 on my computer?

    Not exactly sure what is going on, but perhaps https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/application-file-icons-change-acrobat.html ?

  • Acrobat dominates my spreadsheet capabilities.   When I try to use Excel, PDF interrupts and takes over

    My setup for Adobe is flawed.   When I open an Excel spread sheet, Adobe wants to operate the spreadsheet and save it as PDF.   How do I change the setup to eliminate problem?

    Hi Camacho,
    Acrobat will not save the spreadsheet as PDF unless you click on the option to do so.
    Do you face the issues with all the spreadsheets?
    What happens when you launch Excel?
    What version of Office are you using?

  • Internal error occurs when I load PDF

    I've downloaded PDFs from a site that I am a member of, and whenever I try to load them I get an internal error. I've already disabled the security on startup feature, which I was told would fix the issue, but it is still happening. Any ideas?

  • Batch action takes over my desktop - can I stop it?

    I've created an action that I use in batch in PS CS5 - which uses basic PS stuff like curves, etc and then uses some steps from Color Effects Pro 4 from Nik Software.  I usually start the process from the Autmate window and the minimize PS while I open Firefox or something else and do other things while the batch is takign place.  Since I have added this new step from Color Effects - when the process gets to that point, the PS window maximizes, making PS and its windows active again, like I clicked on them.  To clarify, the part that Color Effects plays, requires no input from me.  I have a feeling because its a third party add-on to PS, that some how the program becomes "active" when this happens, bringing it to the front of my desktop. 
    Actions that I have created that use only the mechanics of PS and nothing outside of this, never do this.  However, they will bring each file they are working on, active to the desktop, even though PS is minimized.  They do not, however, take control of the Desktop and make the file the active window I'm looking at.
    I'm also in the Standard Screen Mode for PS and I do not use window/document docking as I prefer to have floating windows while in PS.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!!

    In a word, no.  Generally speaking if you've got Photoshop doing things you really don't want to be doing other things anyway.
    Why?  Here's one reason:  If you happen to be typing and hold down a modifier key - e.g. the Shift key - it can and will affect Photoshop operations running in batch, just as though you were using the modifier key interactively.  Thing is, you might not notice that it's botched up an image.
    Sorry to say if you're going to set Photoshop off on an automate task you kind of just need to let it work, so the pretense of your question needs to be re-examined.

  • CUPS PDF PRINTING IN WINDOWS OVER REMOTE DESKTOP - PRINTER NOT LISTED

    I am running OS X 10.6.2. I connect remotely using windows remote desktop / terminal services to various windows machines. For the XP and Windows 2003 Server 32 bit systems I have no problems with printing pdf documents from the remote windows system back to my mac using CUPS PDF. I don't have to install anything on the remote windows computer. However, for Windows 2003 Server 64 bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, the CUPS PDF printer does not appear in the printer list. I tried installing the Laserwriter 8500 print driver (which apparently CUPS uses) and attaching to a unused TS printing port. The printer appears in the list but it won't print, and it's obviously not attaching to my computer.
    I can't upgrade my mac operating system until I resolve a keyboard driver issue with 10.6.3 and above. Any suggestions?

    I am having a similar issue. I'm using Remote Desktop to connect to a 2008 R2 server and am trying to use PDFWriter as a redirected printer to create a PDF. It is only working after I check print to file, save the file (which it creates an XPS file that is not compatible), then I uncheck print to file, click print, and then it creates the pdf file I need.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Basically - I need to have a "PDF" printer because the print window is on the remote server and it doesn't have the save as pdf option.
    Thanks.

  • Acrobat Reader 8.1.12 takes over Vista desktop and windows apps

    Install is good, but 90% of my desktop icons become acrobat reader icons. If I double click on one of the icons - a message reads "acrobat cannot open 'pgmname'.exe not supported file format etc. etc. (pgmname is the application I'm trying to open). I un-installed 8.1.12 and everything is fine. I re-installed today and the same thing happens. I have a Dell laptop running Vista Home Premium. I believe this started after I installed XPSEP Vista 32bit. I needed this to print invoices from Quickbooks.

    When I load pdf files from Shared Content, I got the following problem: "The selected document could not be retrieved, please try uploading the document again."
    Anyone knows this?
    Thank you very much in advanced.

    I don't migrated the program, but installed it from the original installer,
    i. e. I first installed Indesign from backup, and then uninstalled it and

  • How do I stop Itunes from taking over my desktop when restoring?

    Yes itunes decided to restore my ipad after a back up yesterday. Hate it when Itunes loses track of where everything is stored and then screws up my ipad programs.
    So restoring the ipad and itunes keeps jumping to the front while nicely informing me it will take an hour etc. Which makes doing anything else very very irritating such as typing this query out as it keeps shifting back to itunes screen.
    Another issue when the smaller window is running there is NO way to just have the itunes window sitting in the task bar just beeps at me when trying to minimise the window. May want to add the option as I want to be able to do other things while waiting an HOUR plus to restore my ipad after itunes screwed the ipad up and not have itunes window pop up every few mins.
    Yes none of the main window buttons in itunes top right hand corner work while a smaller windows is running in itunes. Which means no minimise windows or resize. Great way to take over my desktop space WHEN I DON'T WANT YOU TO!!!!!
    Please suggest some fixes before I get irritated enough to lob my computer out the window with itunes on it or just uninstall itunes and get on with my life with ALOT less hassle then this. After all I just want a program to work without monthly wierdness like screwing up my ipad programs where tapping on them will not work AFTER a backup and having to do a restore AND while doing said restore itunes takes over my desktop regularly enough to make me scream at the computer!!! And then the computer beeps at me as I am now typing into the itunes windows which makes me frustrated even more!!!
    Thanks for the help.

  • Why does Adobe take over?

  • KMC_WF_SUBSTITUTE and HRUS_D2 relation: Issues in "Take Over"

    Hello All,
    User B  is getting an error while taking over tasks for a "Fill in for me" from User A,A1,A2.
    The end users A,A1,A2 has set user B to be the "Fill in for me" using the RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE report in ECC.
    When the user B navidates to Portal UWL --> Manage Substitution Rules" and tries to  "Take Over" the tasks, he gets an error of "Duplicate key exception, Error returned from Provider".
    If i look at the HRUS_D2 table, the 4 entries are as below for User B
    HRUS_D2 Table Starts,
    MANDT US_NAME      REP_NAME     BEGDA       ENDDA        REPPR          ACTIVE

    100       User A2         User B            01.07.2011 31.12.9999       
    The above 3 entries indicate a "Fill in for me " from Users A,A1,A2 to User B
    100       User B           User A3         01.07.2011 31.12.9999       
    The above entry indicates that User B has set User A3 as "fill in for me"
    HRUS_D2 Table Ends
    KMC_WF_SUBSTITUTE Table starts  for User B
    AUSER  SUBSTITUTE   PROFILE                         START_DATE      END_DATE       MODE ASTATE
    User B  User A4           DEFAULT_ALL_TASKS 2011-06-01                                   S        0
    KMC_WF_SUBSTITUTE Table ends
    Appreciate if any one can provide insights in to this issue.

    Hello Karri,
    Thanks for the reply. I did check for the circumstances in which this error occurs. It occurs for all tasks which are substituted to this user B. Even when the assignor tries to assign task ( Fill in for me) through "Manage Substitution Rules" in UWL for "All Tasks" to this user id , it does not allow the rule to be set . It however does  allow for some other user id for "All Tasks"
    It however does allow substitute assignment from RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE for the same user id and can see the "Take Over" in UWL.But when the user B tries to "take Over" , it throws the same error.
    There seems to be no errors in default trace other than the "Duplicate Key exception" for this user B.
    Looks to me like some data problem in tables KMC_WF_SUSBTITUTE/HRUS_D2 for this specific user id.

    I am so over this ADOBE product - it used to be free  ADOBE READER now Adobe XI takes over even my paid products ADOBE PDF EXPORT, I remove XI but still it interfers when I open a .pdf!!
    How can i fix this problem, can't call anyone because all they have is MORE READING!!! And NO HUMAN CONTACT!
    YOU SUCK ADOBE!!!

    NObody is orced to download Acrobat. Still, you did, you had your trial, and now it's finished. If you don't want to buy it, just uninstall it the normal way (but DONT) just delete it, ask if you don't know how to uninstall. Once it is gone, you might have to repair Adobe Readet. So, be angry but understand you had a choice of what to download. It would help you if you remember the full names of products, there is nothing called Adobe XI.

  • I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

    I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

    core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
    my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
    as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
    if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

  • I changed my AppleID password this morning and now I can't load iTunes gift card numbers to download music. The system keeps taking me to the account screen to verify payment info. When I click on DONE, it takes me back to the password screen.

    I changed my AppleID password this morning and now I can't load gift card numbers into iTunes to download music. The system takes me to the account settings screen to verify those and when I click on DONE, it takes me back to the password screen and I start over. This becomes an endless loop. What now.
