Why is the colour in AI files different to the PDF version?

Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows)
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

Evidently Solidworks changed the output of their files to a format that AI cannot interpret. Just backsave in Solidworks to the required version.

You can get Flash CC to publish to version 9 player by putting these two files in these locations:
This file: http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/5510986-147069/Fl ashPlayer9_0.xml

Goes here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CC\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\FP9\playerglobal.swc
You may need to create the FP9 folder.
Restart flash and you should see Player 9 in your publish options. You'll have to find the AS3 clickTag code.

I believe that Nik is having trouble adhering to Apple's "identified developer" requirements.

Adobe Reader X change the PDF version after saved

Hi all,
I recently discovered a weird behavior of Adobe Reader X (free version) regarding the .PDF version document.
I scanned just before the week-end a series of documents with default 1.4 version, I checked several and all were ok, Scanner did the job well.
The only problem is that every time I opened a document and save it under a different name, or replace under the same name – Save As option (Shift+Ctrl+S); the version of the document is automatically changed from 1.4 to 1.5; This is very annoying since I do not need 1.5 document version I use only 1.4.
Is there a way to work around this? I mean the Adobe Reader X should not keep the version 1.4 and not change it to 1.5
Thanks is advance for looking into this

How to retain the PDF's compression when changing the PDF version?

Hi,
I need to change the PDF version from "1.5" to "1.6" without changing the original PDF compression (i.e compressed object streams) using "Acrobat X pro".
I had tried to change one sample PDF version from 1.5 to 1.6 using "PDF Optimizer" and found the following results.
================================
Input PDF contains the following properties:
Document Properties
1. Total pages:256
2. PDF version: 1.5
3. Tagged PDF: No
4. Fast Web View: No
Available Compressions (Identified through "Preflight>Pages")
1. Page description is compressed for all the pages (256)
2. Pages has compressed object streams for "254" pages except "Front Cover" and "Back Cover"
Output PDF contains the following properties:
Document Properties
1. Total pages:256
2. PDF version: 1.6
3. Tagged PDF: No
4. Fast Web View: No
Available Compressions (Identified through "Preflight>Pages")
1. Page description is compressed for all the pages (256)
2. Pages has compressed object streams for all the "256" pages including "Front Cover" and "Back Cover"
================================
"Pages has compressed object streams" found for all the "256" pages (but input PDF has only 254 pages) including "Front Cover" and "Back Cover".
But I want to retain all the properties of input PDF with version change. This is my actual requirement.
I hope that Acrobat expert will offer some useful suggestions for the above. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raja. S

Thanks for the reply.
I had tried everything under "Clean Up" option (PDF optimizer>Clean Up) but "Pages has compressed object streams" applied automatically.
Note: If I check the option "Optimize the PDF for fast web view" under Clean Up, then output retain the required source PDF compression. But I must not change the source PDF to "Fast web view".
This is not testing purpose and this is one of our client requirement. Kindly advise with better solution to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Raja. S

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Hello saradianapasik,
If you start with a document created with Acrobat Pro, or exported from your word processor as a .pdf, then you should include page numbers in that originating application. After you have exported a .pdf form from FormsCentral, it is no longer editable.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Why are the PDF files in v27 bigger than in v25?

I have just created a v27 version of my single iOS app, which has been v25 before. Now the app has a size of about 550 MB instead of about 430 MB. I found out that the PDF files of the slideshows are bigger than before. What is the reason for this change and is there a way to get smaller file sizes again?
Kind regards
Michael
No idea? At least someone of the staff should know why the DPS creates larger files now.
There is another issue which indicates that Adobe doesn't care about file sizes. In slideshows the DPS always uses PNG files (if you don't choose PDF files, which are larger now, as I have told you). Of course it is because of transparency, but it would be easy to let the user choose between PNG and JPG like Twixl does.

You should report this via Gold Support who will investigate this. Minor file size changes will always occure on releases, however since you report the size change is significant, there may be some issue and needs further testing.

Why is the PDF tab missing?

Hello!
I have created some PDF files and tagged them using the Document Properties dialog box of Acrobat X Pro (File> Properties). But when I view the properties of the file in Windows, I don't see these tags in the Details tab. Searching for help on the Adobe website I found a reference to a PDF tab. This tab is supposed to appear in the native file properties dialog of Windows. But I don't see this tab when I view the file properties of a PDF file. Why?
The only reason to tag a document, from my perspective, is to make it searchable. I want to be able to easily search and find my PDF files with given tags. But how do you do a system wide file search if the PDF tag information is not read or supported by Windows, and it's not added by the Adobe software? For the record, I am using Windows Vista.
You can also enter and read the data properties information from the desktop. Right-click the document in Windows Explorer, choose Properties, and click the PDF tab. Any information you type or edit in this dialog box also appears in the Document Properties Description when you open the file.
If I manage to get this feature enabled, will I be able to do a search for *.pdf in Windows Explorer and maybe select the tag invoice so that I will get all the PDF files that are tagged as invoice? Or will I need a dedicated document management system for this?

I give up!
I found this old thread. But it's just all too overwhelming for my taste. I have read it, but I don't know how relevant the information is anyway. I mean, come on, the thread is from 2009! How relevant is all of this in 2013 and now that Adobe has released Acrobat X Pro, and now even Acrobat XI Pro? And the Acrobat Reader is no longer Acrobat Reader, the name has changed to Adobe Reader.
Copy this and that, edit this and that registry key or string, take the DLL from the old version of the software and copy it to the directory of the new software... it's all redundant and silly! What are we... hacking now?
A simple feature like this should work out of the box! Period! I have given up on this completely. It is absolutely not worth my time. I have no intention to start messing around with DLL files, Windows registry keys, COM class objects, and what not. I'm not here to develop a new breed of the Adobe Acrobat product. I am only interested in using it to perform my daily tasks. If there are no simple ways to resolve the issue, well so be it. It should not be harder than giving simple help instructions, like giving some pointers such as "make sure you reinstall the software".
And for the record, yes, I have reinstalled Adobe Reader by downloading the latest version from Adobe website. After reboot I also ran the Updater for Adobe Acrobat X Pro, it found a new version, downloaded and installed it. All that to no avail. The problem still remains. I did not reinstall Adobe Acrobat X Pro because I don't want to. I have no intention to screw up a perfectly working system, program setup and configuration, just to get a simple function like this to work properly.
I don't know if this feature ever worked for me, or if it stoped working recently. Because I only started using this feature recently. But I'm pretty confident to say that it never worked. I look at my file properties every now and then, and I think I would have noticed a "PDF" tab appearing out of nowhere. I can tell something's different with a dialog window when there is a change like that. And I know I had the "PDF" tab back in Windows XP, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with it. I know what it is, but it's just isn't there anymore.
Also, in my experience, there is alwys some kind of conflict that arises between Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro. The moment you install them both, some PDF related features you previously had are lost. The most famous one is perhaps the preview handler in Outlook. It always seemed as if the Acrobat Reader was always better integrated into a Windows system than the Acrobat Pro version. The Acrobat Pro was and is still more productivity oriented, while the Acrobat Reader always made sure you had those previews in Outlook, and it also integrated well with Explorer or Windows Shell. Acrobat Pro always managed to somehow screw up that integration, and I mean it's beyond file type association. So it's best to not have them both (but things like preview is only available in the Reader version).
Adobe needs to make better software and then everything will be much easier. It seems to me that this "feature" has been deprecated by Adobe. So even though you might have the correct registry keys and DLL files onboard, they are not being used anyway.

Why is the trial version of iWork '09 not accepting my boxed serial?

Recently my MBP crashed, which caused me to lose everything on there, including my iWork software.
My install disc is in another country and I won't be there for at least a few months. I have the serial number, but the trial version of iWork I downloaded doesn't seem to be taking it.
Then again, it says:
If you've purchased an iWork '09 box, install from the DVD and follow the onscreen instructions. If you purcharsed a serial number for iWork '09 from an Apple Online store, the serial number was emailed to you.
Does this mean that 'boxed serials' (not to be confused with boxed cereals) won't work on the downloaded trial version of iWork?

As Fruhulda wrote, there is no serial number for the in_a_box iWork '09 so what you wrote is inaccurate !
If you have a serial number, it's not related to the in_a_box iWork '09.
Are you sure that what you had is iWork '09 ?
If your serial number is one related to iWork '08, it's normal that it doesn't apply to the iWork '09 trial.
If it's that, you may get the iWork '08 trial on my iDisk (address below)
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '08:iWork08Trial.dmg
I wish to add that before installing the in_a_box iWork '09, we must remove every files related to the trial version.
This is why I delivered an uninstall script.
Go to my iDisk (address below)
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
expand it and run the script.
