Why does the default Mac print dialog show up in Acrobat?

Instead of the Acrobat print dialog:
The Mac print dialog:
shows up when I invoke the Print command.
Is there a preference that needs to be reset? Sometimes quitting and restarting Acrobat fixes the problem, but I've had computers that have never shown the Adobe print dialog, only the Mac dialog.

according to your illustrations you have two different Printers setup.
Unfortunately, in Acrobat 9 the Page setup Dialog does not function it shows any printer. I've explained here.

IF this is Acrobat 9 - I have sent back bug reports, I've posted in Fedback forum (not discussion Forum) about this as well. I have yet to see an answer to the problem. What you need to do is on the 2nd one that has the different dialog is set that to the same printer as in the first.
IF page setup does work in your version of Acrobat make sure that while in acrobat choose correct printer then in page attributes click and choose save as default. That way acrobat will always default to this setup to start with when opening Acrobat.
Another thing you can try is if you have removed a printer and added a new printer go to Printer Utility, and remove the old printer. If you have added a printer make the new printer the default Printer.

Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

Why does the default install make a partition for boot?

The installer, if one lets it prepare one's hard drive, makes a partition for boot, and formats it as a second extended filesystem. I know that people debate the need for/desirability of a partition for boot, and I do not mean to revive that debate. Rather, I am interested in knowing why the Arch developers, like the developers of some other distributions, such as Gentoo, but unlike some, such as Slackware, call for a boot partition, with ext2fs file system, on a default install. Should Arch users interpret this as a recommendation? Also, why is the partition quite a bit larger (although tiny compared to the available space on hard drives these days) than seems necessary?
Thanks.

I've looked at a couple of books and a fair number of internet posts on this, and I must say that these responses are a good deal more concise and clear than what I have come across. I did find it interesting that the Slackware on-line manual doesn't make any effort to encourage it. On the other hand, what you guys are saying sounds sensible enough.
I have both Arch and Gentoo running, sharing a boot partition, which I set at 50MB. I'm using 25% of it, which is why I ask about size - obviously not in terms of overall capacity, but in terms of need.
Why not a lot less - say, even if one is considering dual boot, 20MB? And where do numbers like 32MB come from (the Arch, and indeed Gentoo, default, also referred to by T-Dawg)? Why not use round numbers?
Does 32MB have some rational/irrational/astrological/lucky 7 connection to 64MB RAM, sort of like designating 128MB as swap instead of using numbers like 120MB or 125MB or 130MB?
As you probably know, in Gentoo this stuff is done on the command line in fdisk, and I found it quite odd to be told in their manual to tell fdisk that the boot partition should be 32MB (assuming a single operating system) and swap should be 256MB, especially since fdisk and my hard drive took these numbers with a grain of salt and conspired to adjust them to slightly different numbers complete with decimals. Arch, on default, does the same.
Then I find out that with two operating systems, I'm using about 13MB out of 50MB (or rather 49.9MB, as fdisk and my hard drive decreed)
To change the subject a bit, I think that it is a good idea that the current version of Arch .08 would create, on the default track, a /home partition. There are some nice ideas in the install dialogue, including in the section on setting up a hard drive.

Why does the option to print front to back only appear randomly?

Have only seen the option to print back to front offered once or twice - why isn't it always there?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system?
What are your settings for paper type? Duplex printing is not compatible with photo paper, transparency media or when printing full bleed (edge to edge).
What program are you printing from? Some programs remember their own printer settings regardless of default settings in the system.

HT1975 Why does the location on my iphone show three different places when I'm not even there?

Because GPS is not perfect, especially when the device is inside a building.

Why does the latest version continue to show CSS faults after they are corrected?

After updating Firefox yesterday, I made an error with some css code and Firefox immediately picked it up (very helpful). After correcting the error, Firefox continues to show the error unless I validate the page and then re-open with Firefox. The same error is shown for every page in my local folder regardless of the fact that the error was never made on those pages. Is this new with the update, or am I unaware of a simple reset procedure? CSS Error: Unexpected end of file while searching for closing } of invalid rule set. My operating system is Windows 7. The problem not an issue for me unless I need to learn something about using Firefox.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Why does the default theme for firefox 4 only work with add-ons such as personas? It will allow me to preview an alternative theme with a persona but won't let me apply it without switching to the default. No option for disabled and visually impaired.

Firefox 4 will no longer allow me to use a theme (other than the default) with a Persona. When I "try on" a skin, FF4 allows me to ''preview'' the theme with the persona but will not allow me to ''apply'' the persona without '''automatically''' switching my chosen theme (disorganizing my menu's, bookmarks, and tool-bars) back to the default. Firefox 4 also begins to load an all-default setting browser when it is first opened slowing my browsing start up. All issues were not experienced before the Mozilla Firefox 4.0 upgrade.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Why does the default text tone play instead of the personalized text tone I have selected for a given contact?

The selected text tone plays when I check it out on the contact page, but when I receive a text message from this contact the default text tone plays.

Why does the website bar no longer show on firefox and why am i no longer able to get a search engine and firefox symbol/logo on each tab i open.

All the other versions of firefox used to have a website bar on the top and you used to be able to open a new tab and have multiple websites open at a time and on each one you opened get a firefox symbol/logo and a search engine or website bar however that's no longer the case I don't know if its the new version or not. I used to also be able to do a search and open multiple websites in multiple tabs however that's no longer the case I don't know if its a bug or if its something new with firefox or newer versions.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Why does the default update install add McVee Anit-virus, I didn't want it the first time?

Everytime an update comes from Adobe the "Add McVee" is automatically checked. If I miss it, the update installs McVee and screws up my computer, I already have Norton and do not need nor want MCVee. I didn't want it the first time so If you can't have the default un-check that option I will have to find an alternate or some other .

You can set the Microsoft updater to not update automatically. It can be set to update manually. Eliminates one issue. Second issue is get rid of virus checking software. You don't need it.

Why does "allow page view sharing" not show up in Acrobat XI (11.0.04)?

Hi.
I have some trouble using the live-review function of acrobat workspaces. I remember this was a little different some time ago (might was Acrobat 9). I follow these steps that I learned form the AdobeTV-Video "Collaboration using Shared Reviews via Acrobat.com":
- Acrobat XI: I choose "Send for Shared Review" from the "Comment"-Menue.
- I select "Automatically download & track comments with Acrobat.com"
- I automatically get logged in with my AdobeID (creative cloud for teams-subscription)
- I add the recipients' email-adresses
- Now I want to "Allow page view sharing and chat collaboration in this document", but I can not see the option
This is it...
I dont want users to download to desktop / open / comment / publish comments and save the File. I remember it was possible to open it in the browser and comment live on it, while others could respond on that comments and so on.
Has the feature (how I know it) been removed/changed or is there something else I can't see?
Thanks in advance and greetings
Marius

That feature was removed.

Why does the edge of a rectangle show through image placed on top?

I can't figure out why the edge of my yellow filled rectangle shows through the images I place over top of it.
A very thin but visible line appears in my image when the rectangle has no stroke, and a thicker, dark line appears when I apply black stroke to the rectangle.
I've tried arranging the rectangle to the back and the images to the front, but it doesn't work.
Another strange thing about this phenomenon is that it sometimes appears in the Indesign document itself, and sometimes, it is only appearing when I convert to PDF (using X-3:2002 preset).
Any ideas on what's going on. It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

I did try this change to the pdf settings before, and it doesn't appear to have an effect.
Here are is a sample screen shot of the issue. This is a small part of the PDF created as you have suggestion with the crop image to frames turned off. The line is visible in both the Indesign workspace and the pdf. This is what it looks like without stroke around the yellow box. The image is a png produced in photoshop elements. I've zoomed in quite a bit (that text is 15pt), but it seems like it would show up in a print job.

Why does my 8250 pixma printer randomly show up as "not connected"?? using BT wifi homehub router with my retina pro (mountain lion)

am getting fed up with having to reboot router and or printer everytime I want to print!!
printer clearly is connected as it shows up in the system but only by rebooting everything will it start up and print
beleive it might be firewall related ??
any pointers gratefully appreciated

Well IMHO any product that has the Norton name on it will never ever be installed on any of my computers, Mac or PC. Some say the newest versions of Norton sftware is not like it was only a few years ago. that being the biggest Resource Hog ever written.
But in the end you really don't need that software on your Mac at all. Personally I don't run any Anti Whatever software on any of my computers, Mac or PC, and Have Never Been Infected with Anything.
So I suggest the first thing you do is uninstall that Norton POS software then test. I hope that clears it up. If not you are back to OS X losing the connection between the computer and rinter on your network.
One thing you should look at is giving the printer a full time Static IP address and or locking in a DHCP allocated IP address by setting your router to always assign that IP to the printer and that is done by the printer MAC address (That is Media Access Control address not a Mac computer address) that is IF your router has that feature.
