Why doesn't Adobe...

1. Fix the scroll in grid mode. With either the Intuous Mouse or Microsoft mouse, the scroll wheel does not scroll the window. Well, it does, but by only 1/16in at a time. Would take forever to scroll one window. Both work fine in other applications. I am used to using the scroll wheel and it throws me off everytime I am in LR.
2. Make the metadata windows sticky. Hey! They must have fixed this one. I just put 3..4 RC on my machine this morning and checked and the categories are now sticky! If I set the metadata to keywords it comes up with the field keywords the next use instead of defaulting to the top item. Finally. Good work.
3. And my top ten gripe. Fix the size of the preview icons on the develop panels. You know, the little specks at the left of the panel header which turn the effects on and off. They are difficult to position the mouse over and if you turn one off and being very careful not to move the mouse and click again to turn on, it don't work. It often misses and collapses the panel. Very annoying. There is plenty of room there! Come on -fix it. I constantly want to check the before/after after making adjustments.

Yeah, I have plent of stuff attached - Wacom Intuous (pen and mouse), Microsoft Optical with Intellipoint, an aux keypad, and a midi controller. But does not work any better with that stuff gone. I will check my Intellipoint settings. I have played with the Wacom settings for the mouse and it does not make any difference. Neither the Microsoft or Wacom work properly. Yes, you can have both attached and working, just not the Microsoft mouse with the pen or mouse on the tablet. With the pen and Wacom mouse away from the tablet, the MS mouse works well. Everything works fine in other apps.
It's not a matter of the switches not working. It is that they are so damn small you have to be an expert marksman to hit them. I am 70 and have good eyesight and coordination with my glasses. The brain may have sliped but I am still OK on that account. Maybe it is because I use a fairly hi rez screen, but then so do many other LR users.

  • Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?

    Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?
    I'm just going through the academic purchase process. Talk about inefficient.
    Australia and New Zealand have established Access Federations which allow students and staff to use their own institutional credentials to log into web applications.
    Almost all universities and a lot of polytechs have joined these Access Federations.
    Adobe would be better off enabling federated login to prove that staff and students are who they say they are rather than use the current antique approach to validating memberships of insitutions.
    Go see www.aaf.edu.au or tuakiri.ac.nz

    Thanks for the suggestion Timu. I will pass it on.

  • Why doesn't Adobe market an ereader device that supports PDF?

    Why do I have to have my books converted to epub format, when customers would just as soon read pdfs, which would be much easier for me to create? I'm told it's because Kindle and the rest of the players aren't supporting pdf. So why doesn't Adobe support it and market it as an ereader platform? They could make money with ereader devices and marketing channels that do support pdf. Adobe's response was to bring out their ereader software, but there are too many of those platforms already. PDF on the other hand has the biggest customer base in the world. Is Adobe missing out here, being focused too exclusively on software and not aware of the kind of opening Amazon jumped on? Kindle has come from nowhere to dominate the market. Adobe could have a good share by marketing a pdf reader. Granted PDF doesn't wrap lines, but if you make the pages small, to fit in an ereader window, there are a lot of advantages to having page numbers too.

    I'm also waiting for this feature.

  • Why doesn't adobe PDF pack convert font jester when converting pub documents to pdf documents?

    Why won't adobe PDF pack convert font JESTER from a pub to a pdf file?  It converts the JESTER headings to font ARIAL instead.  When I was using windows XP and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional the conversion came across as JESTER like I wanted.

  • Why Doesn't Adobe Have a Cool Logo to Use?

    I was looking for the "official" Adobe logo to place on my Photoshop portfolio with tagline "Built with Adobe" and can't seem to figure out what is their logo and where to download it.
    The image searches all look like knockoffs.
    Apple on the other hand, has the Iconic Finder face and Apple logos everywhere...does Adobe frown on people using their logo — why isn't it easily available (or am I somehow missing it)?
    Where is it?

    I agree about the Apple sticker. I have two in the side windows of my Bug. Actually they're more of an "ice breaker" than they are a way of saying Made on a Mac. My VW was made on an assembly line in Wolfsburg, Germany, but people see the stickers and they say, "Hey, I just switched to Mac!" And even if they don't know about forty-year-old air cooled german cars, they have something to talk about with me. Come to think of it, I can't recall ever seeing a "Windows XP" or "Vista" sticker anywhere but on the tower of a PC loaded with it. I've seen a few HP stickers, but they were on company cars, so I doubt it was solely product pride.
    Here's a good example of why I don't stick logos on stuff anymore. The last four sites I built for people, I told them how I was going to be using CSS for layout design, PHP for their contact forms, Javascripts, and whatever else I was building. All fourof them said, "I don't know anything about any of that stuff. That's why you're building it and I'm not. They didn't really care if I built it on my MacBook or my Toshiba laptop, they didn't really care if I hand wrote the code, or if I  let Dreamweaver do most of the back end work. As long as it looked right when I was done and they got a good place in a Google search, none of it mattered to any of them. As long as the header logo matched the company logo, they didn't care if I used Fireworks, Photoshop, or Corel Draw to put it together.
    99% of the people you meet won't give a crap one way or another what you use to make what they want. As long as you make it the way they want, that's all that matters. My mother is a painter. She doesn't affix little stickers to her artwork with the labels from the paint and brushes she used. The people she paints for don't want or need to know what she used. They want their paintings. Can you imagine if McDonald's put little lettuce, tomato and beef stickers on your burger telling you what brand they used to make your lunch?
    Steve Jobs has always had a different apporach to things than Bill Gates. That's why you pay less for OS X, (and there's only ONE version of it) than you do for Windows (which has anywhere from five to seven different builds). OS X doesn't require a product key and have a strictly enforced limit of five installs per disc, including reinstalls on the same system. And you can loan your OS X disc to a friend without having to call Apple for permission to install it first. I prefer OS X to Windows. I prefer iWork to Office. I prefer Photoshop to Paint or Corel Draw. But I'm not going to proclaim it to people who don't care. Here is about the only place I'll even mention it, unless someone brings it up in conversation.

  • Why doesn't Adobe recognize my password on my iPad?

         Unfortunately my iPad2 went for a swim the other day and drowned----serious user error.  Fortunately the user (me) had backed up the iPad on a regular basis so all data, aps and setting were recovered.  The only serious glitch occured when I tried to open my books downloaded from the library using OverDrive. ADOBE popped up and asked me to enter my ID and Password.  When I did, Adobe did not recognize me, declared all of my books as "Invalid Titles" and directed my to 'verify your ADOBE ID and try again.'  I tapped the OK but then nothing else happened. 
         Where do I go to verify?  I checked in settings but couldn't find anything that looked helpful.
         Please help.....my check out itme for book 5 of Dance of Dragons expired before I could finish.  . . .sooo sad. I read lots of books from the library this way and right now I am completely locked out.

    I'm wondering if you did the Overdrive update that was just released before your iPad got wet? I think there may have been issues with the update and Adobe Authorization as I had the same problem. But I was getting an Adobe Authorization Error 256 message every time I tried to authorize and it was not working for 3 days. I did delete Overdrive from my iPad ( not recommended unless you have to) then reinstalled, then I synced my iPad to my computer. Still couldn't get it to authorize.
    This is what I did and was able to get it working...
    In settings at the top it should say Adobe Authorization, click authorize it should ask for your ID and password click authorize may take a minute, if that doesn't work I did the following.
    In settings I turned off Auto play, Cellular download, automatic downloads and auto check messages. I then tapped clear deleted titles even though there weren't any, then I tapped check for messages.clicked ok when it said there were none. Then clicked Authorize, tried two times with everything off then when it didn't work I turned on all the settings I had turned off ,did the Authorization again and it worked. I was able to download the books from the library directly from my iPad.
    I hope this helps, I know how frustrated I was when I couldn't get it to work!

  • Why doesn't Adobe Reader let me save the editable form on my computer?

    Hello,
    I am using Adobe reader 10.1.2 I downloaded it free from the internet.
    When I download an editable PDF real estate contract from the internet and try to fill it out and save it on my desktop it doesn't let me save it. It says I can only fill it out and print it for my records.. I think it's some kind of security issue maybe?
    Does anyone know what the problem is?
    Thank you!

    The PDF form that you are trying to fill in, does not have Reader Extended rights enabled, and hence, can't be saved onto your disk with all the data. This can be done via Adobe Acrobat but not Reader.
    You can refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/3D/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7e0d.w.html for more information.

  • IBooks Author does "real" 3D why doesn't Adobe

    We have been evaluating iBooks Author and it does "real" 3D. We have demo'd this using a Collada file and unlike ADPS's faux 3D it can be rotated in all direction and doesn't require the laborious creation of incrementally rotated still images.
    Why can't ADPS handle real 3D?

    I think 3D features should be split into a few areas:
    - 3D Animations to be used as decorative ways of navigation/interaction
    - 3D Support for serious content like models, simulations, visualisations.
    For the former, this could be done by adding HTML/script-like methods.
    The script could take a portion of the page, turn it into a sort of Canvas,
    and then handle it with CSS-like transformations.
    There are already a number of HTML-scripts that perform such an effect.
    You can incorporate them by using Web content items or pages in DPS.
    I wonder if it would be useful to have such animations (back) in InDesign.
    The Flash-driven Animation palet could be revised/revamped to do that.
    On the other hand, any feature in that direction (available in InDesign)
    will just lead to requests for more features. It would become bloated.
    Imagine InDesign doing Photoshop-like stuff; we'd be asking for more...
    So a separate application to do (3D) animations migth be a better way.
    For the latter (full heavy-weight 3D support), I think it's too soon.
    Bot tablet hardware and software is too weak to build such features
    into an app that does many other things as well. Of course, 3D games
    perform well on tablets, but these are totally dedicated to these tasks,
    and don't have to let 3D work alongside other (complex) techniques.
    So time will tell when full 3D support of any format (standard?) arrives.

  • Why doesn't Adobe have 3d modeling program?

    It seems silly to me why I have to use other programs like Blender to design complex 3d models to import into Adobe Director? Adobe is the most well known and established software companies ever, and they can't make a simple program to design complex 3d models? Am I missing something?

    I completely forgot Dimensions was a thing (for a good reason.)
    Still, it seems a bit short-sighted for adobe to just punt on the 3D graphics front, especially considering... overwhelming industry trend everywhere?
    It would be a good plan for adobe to loot a company that produces 3D software and make it part of the Creative Cloud. That would take a bite out of companies like Autodesk (and by extension, competing software and services like Sketchbook; vendor lock-in). It woulden't be overly difficult to sway the favor of developers with limited resources that are trying to justify the expense of licensing Adobe and Autodesk software. Adobe would win that standoff. Maybe they're just bitter about WebGL?

  • Why doesn't Adobe Reader XI load when viewing online PDFs?

    This is probably a stupid question, but I noticed something odd last night.  I have Adobe Reader 9 on my netbook and Adobe Reader XI on my main computer.  I had been browsing some online PDF files on my netbook, and in Adobe Reader 9 I get the Reader "interface", i.e., there is the border surrounding the PDF, with the page number box at the top and I can search the document for various things.  On my main computer with Adobe Reader XI, the PDF files are simply downloading and I don't have the Reader "interface" anymore, so there's no way to search for items or go to specific pages.  Is there someplace to edit my settings in XI so that I get the interface?  Thanks so much for your help.

    Open Chrome
    In the address bar, type chrome://plugins and press Enter
    Scroll down to the entry called Chrome PDF Viewer and click Disable.
    Scroll to the Adobe Reader or Acrobat entry and click Enable.

  • Why doesn't adobe reader print

    Adobe Reader has stopped printing for me. I don't recall when the problem started, but until recently I could print easily. Now, every time I try to print any PDF file (old or new, including files I've printed before), I get his message: "The document could not be printed," followed by "There were no pages selected to print." That latter statement is always untrue. I should add that I have no trouble printing from other programs.
    Today, I uninstalled Adobe Reader 11.0.08 and downloaded the program afresh. No difference when I tried to printed.
    What can I do to restore the print function?

    It took me a while to find how to disable the protected mode in Security
    (Enhanced), but after doing that, I managed to get Adobe Reader to
    print! Thanks very much--both for your good advice and for your prompt
    response.

  • Why doesn't Adobe see my printer?

    I cannot print my PDF files. I have a new Toshiba laptop, use Windows7, and just downloaded the latest version of Adobe. When I select Print, the default printer is a Lexmart 800. I don't have that printer. The only printer I have installed ( I checked on it) is an Officejet 6500A from HP. Any way to let Adobe know what printer I have?
