Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop. It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page! Made reading an ebook difficult.
I finally found the solution:
Under Edit select Preferences - General
Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming".

Using the mouse wheel to zoom in/out

Am I missing some preference setting? I use a mouse with a wheel/roller/scroll thingie in between the right and left buttons.
Why is it that in FCP if you are in the Timeline and you turn the wheel you go up or down the video or audio tracks, but in Soundtrack Pro if you turn the wheel you zoom in (expand the view). I like the zoom thing, but when I go back and forth between FCP and Soundtrack, it is annoying.
Besides the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the FCP timeline to zoom in and out and besides APPLE + or APPLE - , how else can one zoom in and out if the mouse wheel is not an option?

i prefer "option =" and "option -" as that always zooms in/out of the timeline regardless of the widow focus

Why does Adobe Reader do not print in English on my computer ?

I go a e-mail from honeywell company with an attachment. Why does Adobe Reader transform the e-mail from English to some other languge?

Hi Margaret,
I'd like to help! Would you mind sharing a bit more detail? What language does it appear to be? Has this happened with other PDF's? When you installed it - did you select English as the language?
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards, Stacy

For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

Does Adobe Reader need the internet enabled before it will read a document?

For the past two days my internet has been down due to 'electric' storms in the UK. I tried to open a few .PDF files during this time, and they would open but as soon as I tried to scroll down, they froze and said "Adobe Reader is Not Responding".
As soon as the internet came back on, I tried again and they all opened and were 'scrollable'! I never realised that Adobe Reader needed the internet to function before it would work.
Is this normal?

I wasn't aware that was normal behaviour. Most people have laptops that are at some point NOT connected to the internet. One would hope that the pdf reader works regardless, how about all the business users that like to read documents during a flight etc... The examples are countless.
Cheers.

Why does FCP not use the quad Processors for rendering

Hi. I notice the other day when I renderd out a rather long project that FCP does not use all available processors. I notice on some effects that it uses the graphics card and non of the processors. It there a reason for this and is there a way to make better use of the quad core in rendering both audio and video files.
Thanks

Good question. I've been asking around off forum looking for an answer too. Motion is a big one for me. I'd love to have it render out with all 4. But then again, it's not meant to be a render engine. Both FCP and Motion are now becoming more GPU intensive.
Now... COMPRESSOR uses all 4 at the same time.

Why does Adobe Reader 9.5.0 open pdf created by Excel, but not with Reader X.

We have a number of pdf's that open 100% with Adobe Reader 9.5.0, but not with Reader X.
On Reader X, the message “A Number is out of range” is shown and the image is corrupted.
The image was created using “File SaveAs PDF” from Excel (Office 2007), with “Standard” optimization.
For interest, if the same “File SaveAs PDF” from Excel (Office 2007) is used, but with “Minimum Size” optimization set, then the resulting pdf opens perfectly with both Reader 9 & X.
Distressing that a new version does not work where previous version did.

HI
Sorry, my first time posting and I don’t seem to be able to attach the problem pdf to my posting.
Example of problem file attached. Opens in 9.5.0 but not X

Why does adobe Reader XI ask to download Flashplayer when trying to open an Portfolio.pdf document?

Hello Everyone
I have a user that created a portfolio in Adobe X Pro. When they send this out to user and they try to open it with the Adobe Reader XI or Reader X it asks them to download the lates Flashplayer.
All our systems have the latest flashplayer install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Dave

I just have to add my 2 cents. While I'm sure this change in program has some benefit for Adobe, to me it's horrible for the end user and makes Adobe look bad. In my organization's case, we have about 400 systems, of which only about 40 have the Flash Player Plugin installed. Which means 90% of our systems do not currently have what's needed to open these documents. Now we will need to start rolling out both version of Flash Player. Not a huge deal with Kace, but it's still a potential point of failure and extra headache.
While IE's usage stake has diminished greatly, they're still a big player. However, in IE you only get to the "plugin" version if you tell it you're looking for a different browser. The regular IE user says "I only use IE, so why would I want the plugin for a browser I didn't install?" If the plugin version is the "full" version, then maybe you should consider having one installer that includes both ActiveX and the plugin.

Why does it not use the index?

L.S.,
We are using a table called IT_RFC_REGISTRATION. It is a relatively big table for our application.
Its primary key is RFCNR, each new RFCNR getting the next value.
Now for my intranet report I am interested in the last 40 records. But when I execute:
SELECT *
FROM IT_RFC_REGISTRATION
ORDER BY RFCNR DESC
the query takes ages to execute.
When I do this:
SELECT RFCNR
FROM IT_RFC_REGISTRATION
ORDER BY RFCNR DESC
the result comes instantaneous because this query uses the index on RFCNR.
Why does the former query not use the index to execute? It should be much faster to fetch ROWIDs from the index end to start and use those to get the records, than to load all the records and then sort them.
Is there a trick with which I can use a join of the latter query and the former query to speed up the result?
Greetings,
Philbert de Zwart,
Utrecht, The Netherlands.

The difference you see in query run time is based on the amount data being sorted, then returned. In the first query, a full table scan is faster since if the index was used, Oracle would have to do a lookup in the index, get the rowid's and go look up the data in the table (TWO disk i/o's). It's faster to just scan the entire table.
Indexes will generally not be used unless you have a where clause. If you only need a few fields from the table, you could include them all in an index. For instance, if you only need RFCNR & DESC create a concatenated index on those two columns and then only a scan of the index is required (very fast).

Why does adobe reader 11 not allow you tube videos to be viewed on my MAC?

Adobe reader does not allow me to view you tube videos on my MAC. Why?

Every time I install the newest version, for whatever reason, if I want to watch a video, I get a missing plug in message. I don't get the usual "allow or deny" message with it, it just won't allow me to view the video. I watch a lot of art lessons on line and participate in blogs and this becomes very frustrating. The odd thing, is that when I un-install Adobe 11, I can view the videos but, of course, then I can't download PDF files. The weird thing is, other people in my neighborhood are having the same issue and don't know what to do about it. I may just download an earlier version of Adobe because I didn't have this issue until I updated it some months back. Maybe my 6 year old MAC can't handle the technology even though I am running on the latest Safari version?

Why does Adobe Reader 10.0 opens one more instance of it as a child process ?

Hi,
I downloaded Adobe Reader 10.0 and observed that it spawns one more instance (same name as parent) which opens a file instead of parent. This seems to be a significant change since last version where there was only one instance.
Can anyone tell me why is the use of opening one more instance and delegating a task of opening a file to it ? Is there any security reason behind it ? Is there any settings by which I can disable this behaviour ?
