  • Who/Why did recent updates embed default double-side printing all PDFs

    Until the recent updates, I have had no difficulty saving and printing online/saved pdf documents. Today, my printer (set up for single page printing) was comandered by
    Adobe PDF and went into double sided printing when when recent and past pdf documents were printed and checked.     
    THIS IS AN "UNACCEPTABLE" UNANNOUNCED IMPROVEMENT (?).    I was not provided with any list of "options" to include/add/choose regarding default printer behaviour embedded in PDF saved/read/new documents. This used up printer time and  ink with loading, notices to reverse and/or note to add more paper. I now have to double check and clear the checked box for double sided, and clear PDF default.  When the same supposedly defaut free document is closed then reopened, the default free status has reverted to "double sided" 
    It should be that this eco-friendly politically correct option should be a printing option that one should check to obtain when appropriate and wanted.  I should not be this stupid unannounced, poorly thought-out, aspberger-teckie enforced assumption of proper consumer conduct and needs.

    This is my thanks for the swift and professional responses by Dov Isaacs and Dave Merchant to my angry extensive diatribe about a glitch that could have been stated in one sentence/question.  
    Since 11:55 a.m. Jan 11, after receiving Dov Isaacs' response e-mail notifaciton until this moment, I have attempted to e-mail multiple my thanks response.  This was my attempted response: (which I now had to retype, since copy and paste don't work on this reply message):
    Thanks for your immediate response.  I wentthrough a recent document, changed setting to one sided in both printer page and document default, then printed that document single sided and saved it (replaced previous this this saved one).  then closed documents folder, reopened the PDF folder, clicked pring on this new replacement saved document.  It now retained the single page setting.  I went through other documents previously checked and each one now retained the single page printer setting.  
    They all previously had retained the double paged setting of the very first pdf that printed double sided.
    I now understand that whatever is page paper sided setting of the last printed saved document, once that document is printed, the printer reads future pdfs as the same setting, until a new document with a new setting is printed.  The last printed setting then is retained and applys to the rest of pdfs until changed and printed again in a new printing, etc, etc.  
    Thanks for your (now Dov and Dave) immediate, professional response(s) to my outrage and stupid assumptions.  I stand corrected and I apologize. 
    Now as a note for Adobe/Website from one who spent extensive time searching for anything that allowed me to ask a question, and once found, I posted my question to somewhere that God himself only knew where or who may respond. 
    One simple  easy-to-fix glitch question from a consumer frustrated by naive endless website rovings to post the question, to me, incites outrage. I refuse to throw my computer out a 10 storey window, take an ax to my monitor and drive over it with my car and dump everything on the freeway.  Until now, I was taking a deep meditative breath and sputtering FY all. 
    Compound that with the following seemingly avoidance behaviours and the sputterings become paramount.  Suddenly I am listed in Membership Areas (as an expert--someones got to be kidding).  My reply/reply to all resulted in the following return message: "jive-2063828440-vep3-2-2g;[email protected]  email address as reply or as entered in new message was rejected by receivers servers and was returned as rejected--This is the mail system at host mail.sgaur hosted jivesoftware.com.   (In addition pointing to bottom of each message stating to email or at Adobe Forums and http link to page and Printing and Progress got me nowhere throughout  Jan 11 to 6:45 am Jan 12).  All areas resulted in message the services were unavailable, until the final message message Adobe is updating webpage.   Adobe contact us resulted in typical tips menues that avoided nonsense consumer e-mail direct contact to anyone, except telephone contact.  
    To me, one simple solution to e-mail response notification:  At the first sentence of each notification e-mail state:  No Reply Response to message sender address allowed (whatever posted by other e-mails I receive).
    I still don't know how I finally got here in the first place, but thanks to one and all for assistance.  No reply required, since I may never find this spot ever again.    K.D.

  • How do I reverse the latest update to Firefox 4.0? I recently updated and have nothing but problems...nothing works! Click on links with no result, enter web address nothing happens. Please help me downgrade to previous version as this is rediculous!

    Upgrade to Firefox 4.0 has caused nothing but problems. Unable to click links, access websites, etc. How can I downgrade to previous version?

    Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • Most recent update changed all font sizes. What is best method to change back to to preexisting Fonts

    The most recent update changed all font sizes (smaller). What is the best method to enlarge?

    yeah, that's what I ended up doing late last night because the white font against pale gray background was driving me nuts. I hadnt changed anything. been using the same theme for about 4 months but then all of a sudden, like I said, the font color mysteriously changed.
    anyway, thanks for your help.

    Why did I update my ios 6 through wifi only for it to ask me to connect to itunes and now its making me restore it? Will I lose everything?

    It's in recovery mode. You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. If you didn't back it up, there is no way to recover it.

  • HT4623 Why did the update of my phone to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Why did the update of my iphone4 to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Apple is no longer supporting YouTube with a native application starting with iOS 6.0.  The "old" YouTube application was automatically removed when you upgraded, and it no longer exists in the new iOS.  There are however, numerous third-party apps in the App Store which will allow you to view YouTube, including one from Google, which is the parent company for YouTube.  Passbook is a new application to iOS 6.0 and is not at all related to YouTube.

    Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
    It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

    Following some suggestion i seem to have found a solution for the problem and my play/pause, next and previous buttons work with iTunes 10.4.1
    - You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
    - Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
    - Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
    iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
    - Save the file
    - Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

  • Why did I get 72 dpi solutions in AI CS5 instead of 300 dpi in Photoshop CS5!

    Dear all!
    I have done my file in Photoshop with 300 dpi. I have finished it and then saved it as EPS because I would like to open it in my AI CS5.
    So I go to File>Open the EPS File in AI CS5. I get it with 72 dpi file in AI CS5 when I check the resolution in Effect>Documents Raster Effects Settings. Why did I get 72 dpi file in AI CS5 instead of the original file which is really 300 dpi in Photoshop?
    Will it change the quality if I change from 72 dpi to 300 dpi as I wish to in the Documents Raster Effects Settings?
    Please help to explain in details if possible.
    Thanks a lot and best wishes.
    I am looking forward to hearing from you.
    My best regards,
    LUCK

    Luck,
    To see the use the raster image in its right size along with other objects, scale it (down) to match. To go from 72 to 300 PPI you need a factor of 0.24 (proportionally), you may use multiplication by 0.24 in the Transform panel or Object>Transform>Scale with 24% .
    It means I must change resolutions in Document Raster Effects Settings if I have effects raster effects created within Illustrator. Is it right?
    If (and only) if you wish to have the effects at the same resolution as (one of) the raster image(s). This will depend of the actual effect, but for many effects, yes (you will have to choose one resolution if the document contains more than one).
    Illy always sees raster images at 72 PPI, unless she is told otherwise.

    Have mac mini with thunderbolt monitor 1yr old, recently updated with new 10.0.2 from apple, now iMovie doesn't seem to support my Sony HDR-XR500 camera. Is there any help on this?

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

  • After recent update to airport on iMac, the wifi connection is lost when it goes to sleep and requires turning off wifi and turning it on to reestablish contact.

    After recent update to OS on iMac, communication to airport is lost when computer goes to sleep.  To reestablish connection, I need to turn wifi off then on. 

    same problem here.
    i have a time capsule.
    symptoms:
    excessively searching for network
    but more often than not, it cant find the correct netowrk that is correctly stored in keychain
    if i try network assistant opened through safari not finding its page, then it can find the right network after i enter in the password again.  it connects. but only for a few seconds then it loses the connection again.
    the only fool proof workaround for me is:
    1/ shut down time capsule. restart time capsule.
    2/ restart mac with airport turned off.
    3/ after restart manually select the network from the wireless icon in the menu bar
    airport utility is a complete waste of time
    old airport utility is still better.

    Thanks: our creatives said they would research "with Apple" and let us know next week when we are there for training, so you are correct we probally don't need the Genius Bar, but since we're at the Apple store for training it's good to keep in touch with them as they always have some good tips or advice.
