Where did my PDF presets go?!

We just upgraded from CS6 to CC last week. I normally save PDFs from Illustrator using the "smallest file size" preset in the drop down. Today is the first time I tried to do that from CC Illustrator and all the presets I'm used to seeing are no longer there. How do I get them back please? Hopefully this is a quick easy fix. I need that preset back.

Are you saving your PDF using "print" from the file menu? I save using "save as". I don't think there's a way to switch print drivers in that area so I tried using "print" and changing print drivers. Still did not find new options for saving the PDF. How exactly did you do it?

Where are the Adobe PDF Presets stored?

I am doing some video lessons and would like to clean up the Adobe PDF Presets menu in the Export as PDF dialog box.
Where are they stored?
I've looked through the many folders on my machine called "Presets" but can't find them.

Here's a great opportunity to file a feature request. In InDesign CS5.5, Preferences > File Handling displays the location of recovery files, and offers users the option to choose a custom location. It would be a great logical step to make the locations of the various presets and other stored items available and also offer users the option to customize. Care to file a request in the usual place - Adobe Feature Request or Bug Report form.
As preferences, these details are out of the way, yet are much easier to find than searching through a disk's file system.

CC 2014 PDF Presets, where are they?

Hello,
Until CC2014 (specifically Illustrator) I have been able to install PDF presets on 30+ systems here in our studio by copying filename.joboptions into (on OS X) /Libaray/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/settings folder. I'm currently testing a rollout of CC 2014 and have noticed that it doesn't appear to read x.joboptions from that folder anymore. Does anyone know where Adobe is now storing the default PDF presets for the system NOT the individual users.
Thanks

Hi aizzard,
Since CC2014 every product is storing presets inside of each application folders.
For Ai any PDF custom job option files can be saved to location :
·         For locales - ja_JP, ko_KR, zh_CN, zh_TW :
o   Win: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Required\pdfsettings\settings\japan\settings\
o   Mac: \Applications\Adobe Illustrator CC 2104\ Adobe Illustrator CC 2104\Required\pdfsettings\settings\japan\settings\
·         For other Locales –
o   Win: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Required\pdfsettings\settings\mul\settings\
o   Mac: \Applications\Adobe Illustrator CC 2104\ Adobe Illustrator CC 2104\Required\pdfsettings\settings\mul\settings\

InDesign PDF Presets Bug

Hello everyone,
I have noted this problem since cs5 version came out but I am reporting it now. Well, here is the thing: if I have some multi page or single page document in InDesign and I want to export it in some of Adobe PDF Presets for printing for example like [PDF/X - 4:2008] as usual I get the progress how much of the pages are exported and when progress dialog is gone when I go to the location of the exported PDF i get 0kb PDF file. So there is nothing in it and when I try to open it it reports error. After few minutes passed I see size of the PDF is changed and exported PDF is there now and it can be opened. So basically after export progress is finished at start you won't have any data in exported PDF and after couple of minutes passed it will fill that PDF with exported data. So does any of you have experienced such behavior? I think this is a bug and this behavior is tested and confirmed on Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Windows 7 64bit.
Best regards,
Ratko Asanovic

Here's a few things I wished the Background Task did.
1. The Indicator in the Control be clickable to open the panel (else add a background tasks button where the other buttons are Guide Screen Mode and Arrange Documents)
2. The list of Background Tasks performed remained and you can open the PDF from the background task panel. The point of the background panel is to allow you to work while pdfs are being generated. Well if I'm working I don't want a PDF jumping up when the option is clicked in the settings to open the pdf. Instead I'd prefer the Background Panel icon to turn Green or something when PDFs are in the Background Panel. That would give me a visual indicator that I have PDFs created that need to be looked at in Acrobat. I can then open the panel via the shortcut on the control bar and commence checking my PDFs created that day.
It just falls a little short for me at the moment.

Strange PDF presets just appeared???

Hi everyone
Anyone come across this before. Just installed Indesign 6 today, works beautiful.
However these strange PDF presets have just appeared from no-where???
Can't delete them in the PDF define panel any ideas to get rid of them????
Any suggestions would be great. (screen shot below)

I just purchased and downloaded InDesign CS6 from cloud on March 27, 2013. I see the exact strange Presets Colum in my newly purchase Adobe Indesign PDF presets
I use the same program on school computer (two different schools, two different compueters) and all of them have the usual/normal pdf presets.
I am in Canada and my primary language is English, so no, I definitly didnit use Japanese version. However starngely my presets show the same thing as yours does Colum! It was also crashing when exporting to PDF and in the pdf menu, it didn't give me the blank space to type pages I want to export. And also in that menu it showed something called Costume V!
I was on the phone with Adobe for an hour with no result (India, which frustrates me as anything as conversations on their call centre are not optimized and they are not trained well to know the latest changes in CS6 it seems!)
Then looking at Adobe online help I found one clue (Adobe didn't even upgrade the help to include them all! )
look at this page and search for worg Japan to see the Japan Magazine Preset mentioned! Did anybody found any other clues?

How do I print a mirror image? Where did the old functionality go?

Within the last several months I was able to print a mirror image of my document to my HP DeskJet F4180 in high resolution. I don't know if it is the new HP drivers, or my new Snow Leopard OS but now I can' figure out how to do it again. I can grab a screen shot in and flip it in Preview but it ends up printing in low resolution.
I have printed mirror images in the past from my PDF applciations and I think from Office 2008 (PowerPoint). I find no documents saved on my hard drive that come up saved as a reverse image so I suspect that I was using a printer feature not an application feature to print mirror images.
Where did this functionality go?

Found it!
Use the check box marked Flip Image. Didn't is say mirror before?

Where did my book go?

I tapped on a book in my iBook library mad it disappeared and I can't seem to find it

I created a book, and uploaded it to be produced as a hardcover book. Now, I can't find the original file in iPhoto. Where did it go, and can I get the file back from Apple?
I'm not sure what you are looking for
There is not really an original file - and there is not file to get back from Apple - if you want a PDF of the book read this apple support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

Where did my iWeb go?

I bought my iMac about a month ago and thought today would be a good day to play with iWeb. However, it is no longer located on my computer. That, and Garage Band has also disappeared. What the ****? I know it's not a trial version. My iMac came with Mac OS 10.5 and iLife. I know it was here when I first got my computer. Where did it go?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Look in the Applications folder for those applications. If they are there just drag them back to the dock.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I have to say that one ASIC doesn't have any sfp's inserted, so it's not in use probably, but is this the reason it's not showing up here?

PDF presets not showing up in indesign CC

Hi,
We have about 28 CC users on mac (mavericks), and we've just started using Indesign CC within the last month or so.
My problem is that we are 'deploying' via remote desktop, a standard set of PDF presets so everyone have the same settings. This works fine on cs3-cs6. But for some reason it does not work with indesign CC. CC wil only show the presets that are in the users/xxx/Application support/Adobe PDF/Settings folder and not the ones from the default folder /Library/Application support/adobe/adobe PDF/settings .
I can add them by either loading the presets in indesign one by one, on every single mac, or manually also on every single mac, put the presets in the users folder, but both options really suck. Mind you we change presets very often, so this is really not ideal for me.
Hope someone can help direct me to the master PDF preset folder for CC - The one folder who rules them all !!!

System wide PDF presets location is not working in CC

On both Mac and PC, the system wide location for PDF settings (.joboptions) does not work anymore.
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings (on a Mac)
It is illogical to remove this feature. Even if that folder does not store the main default presets, which are now stored in each application, it still needs to be looked at and loaded from. It's actually illogical to store the same preset in multiple locations (i.e. each application). If there is a preset that is only for a certain application (e.g. Illustrator Default), this could be put in the application folder, but all others like High Quality, Prepress, PDF/X should be in a central location, i.e. where they used to be.
I know that each user can manually load into their own PDF presets, which then do appear in all suite apps, but this has to be done every time a new user logs into a computer.
The central location meant that all suite apps would see a custom set of presets automatically across the entire suite and across multiple versions of the suite. The other advantage to the central location is that the presets would appear in square brackets, in other words read only, so they cannot be changed by the user without saving as a new file.
Having users manually load and be able to change the presets kind of defeats the purpose of having a preset, certainly in our environment, where we need these settings to be consistent across all apps, all computers and all users.
Please put this feature back or at least honour the central location that used to be used.

Hi,
As per the description, I understand that your Office 2013 cannot open files through a network share directly.
I would like to know that how many clients/users are affected by this in your environment. It could be some specific user account settings, that the Office applications are being affected by.
I'd first suggest you try with a new Windows user profile, then verify result.

Pdf/x-4 2010 pdf preset made via Indesign not compatible with Illustrator?

Hello all
I am working with a digital printing company and want to create a pdf preset that they can distribute to their customers to help make sure pdfs are properly made for their workflow. We've tested pdf/x-4 on their equipment and want to make that standard the base for their preset.
I made a preset in IndesignCC which shows up and is accessible in InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC, but is not accessible in IllustratorCC. It does not show up in the presets list in the "save as... pdf" dialogue. It does show up in the Edit>Adobe PDF Presets function though.
When I attempt to load the .joboptions file into Illustrator via that Adobe PDF Presets function I get the error "The preset is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file."
I noticed that IllustratorCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2008) standard, while InDesignCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2010).
Is IllustratorCC not yet compatible with the 2010 standard? If not, this is a serious wrench in the pdf preset workflow that allows the applications to share .joboptions files amongt themselves.
Any thoughts or help solving the problem of sharing that InDesign Generated preset with Illustrator would be much appreciated.

Hi jdanek, thanks for replying. PDF/x-4 supports transparency natively, supports multiple color spaces (this allows the vendor's rips to handle color conversion), and is an excellent option for their PDF print engine workflow. They want a custom variety that sets the resolution, bleed, etc. to give to their customers.
I did resolve the issue by making a new preset in Illustrator. That one is also available in InDesign and Photoshop but still, I'm curious as to why the InDesign-made preset is not compatible with Illustrator.

Where did multiple saved login names go in ios8 Safari?

Where did multiple saved login names go in ios8 Safari? In io7 you could have multiple logon names for a given webpage, and select which one you wanted, and even though these different names are saved in saved passwords in the Safari settings, I can't access them. Safari now just allows one saved name/password per webpage, and if you want to change this name, you have to turn off saved passwords, and type in the new name and password. Ios7 worked great, why did you mess around with something that worked? If I could, I would roll back to ios 7.

You should get an Open In window that pops up in Safari that allows you to choose the app in which you want to save the PDF. If you do not have an app that works with PDF files (iBooks, Adobe Reader) you cannot save the file anywhere.

Include Security Settings in PDF Presets

Boy does Illustrator go out of its way to make saving a PDF painful. No export, so we have to Save a Copy. Then we have to change the filename, directory, and pick a preset because it always defaults to Illustrator Default. And if we want to add security features we need to set all of them each time we export.
There needs to be a PDF export, and the presets need to be more robust.
Actually, there needs to be a replacement for Illustrator, jsut as inDesign replaced PageMaker.

Ok I understand your point.
you have tons of Illustrator files that need to be saved as pdf format with a specific pdf preset and encrypt it as well.
What i do is to create/record an action saving my Illustrator file to the pdf format with the preset i need(Do not encrypt yet, that's another step ahead), then use the batch dialog box, located in the action flyout menu, this dialog box lets you select the action you just recorded, select a Source folder where all your Illustrator files to be converted need to be and a Destination folder where your new pdf will be created,be aware that the check fields "override actions open" as well as "save" need to be selected in order to avoid a dialog box asking you what file to open and where to save it, after all this click Ok to play the action over the files in the source folder, wait some seconds and voilá.
Check your pdf files in your destionation folder.
Now we'll use Acrobat Pro to encrypt the files in the destination folder.
You need to create your own sequence to automate this process by going to the Advanced>Document Processing>Batch Processing... menu.
A new dialog box appear, click on new sequence, type a name for this new sequence(ie. encryption test), click on select commands... button, Select the Security action from the Document Set then click add>>, then select the new added action in the right click edit and set up the encryption you want in all your documents then click ok.
leave run commands on to ask... and select output location to same folder as originals.
click Ok and test it, i know the setup time is long but this technique will save you time.
