Why my pdf is hanged to my mouse

Good evening,
I have trange issue, Two colleague told me, some time when they move a pdf to an adob application (to open it), the pdf stay hanged to the mouse.
It does not open but follow the mouse. It's trange. It does not happen all the time and I am not each day to her office, si I could not see the problem. But they reported it to me several time.
I have no idea why it happen. Did you have an experience with this?
Any idea would be helpfull
They are working o iMac 10.8
Cheers

It sounds like they somehow accidentally activated some feature of the Accessibility (Universal Access) System Preference. Have them open the Accessibilty System Preferences and check the Mouse & Trackpad section to see if Mouse Keys is checked, or Switch Control, or Keyboard's Sticky Keys or Slow Keys.

The download selected responses as PDF is hanging and not responding

The download selected responses as PDF is hanging and not responding on certain machines. Any suggestions? I've tried from 4 different machines and only 1 works. I can't find the common dinominator though as to why the other 3 wont. It just hangs and never builds the form for download. I need to be able to download it from any of my desks though, so need to find a solution and not sure even where to start looking.

We do support IE 7/8/9 and 10, this should be working in all...
Are the computers all on the same network?
On the machines where you cannot save the response as PDF can you "save/export" anything else? Can you try, from the File menu "Export Responses" and see if you can export an Excel file of the responses? Can you try an alternative web browser (Firefox or Chrome) on the machine/s that are not working?
When it does not work you are seeing a progress bar that never completes? When you cancel that and try again you have the same result?
Thanks,
Josh

Why does PDF Optimizer no longer reduce size after CS4 upgrade?

I've been able to successfully reduce the size of the PDFs created from my Illustrator files for years using Advanced> PDF Optimizer in Acrobat Pro. Upgraded to CS4 last week. Now it seems to have reduced everything, but the files are still huge. When I check Space Audit 96% or more is taken up by "piece information".
I've tried changing the Adobe PDF presets, the Document Raster Effects settings, and outlining all text in Illustrator to see if that made a difference. Nothing. The frustrating thing is i've done this for years with no problem. HELP?!?!

Subject: Why does PDF Optimizer no longer reduce size
after CS4 upgrade?
Hi, I've found the solution because today it happened to me as well.
Just go to "PDF Optimizer", then click to "Discard user data" and finally to
"Discard private data from other applications": in this way you delete any
information left by Illustrator and your file's size will get reduced.
It works.
Good luckThanks so much! That works like a charm!!

Why are pdf files opened automatically in iPad email. I need to save the pdf file itself.

Why is my applet hanging?

Can anyone give me some insight as to why my applet is hanging? I just get the grey rectangle and no output in the java plugin console as to any kind of errors. I think it may have to do with hte ContentPane in both the main() and init() but I am not sure. I have been struggling with this problem for a couple of days now and I am not sure how to resolve it. Thanks in advance

I think I figured out why the applet is hanging. It is right after I call messages.MileMessage(inputValue). That method search the drive for a certain file type. the only problem is that I want to repaint the applet after that method is called and I don't understand how the method is called before I input hte "inputValue" variable! Is there any way to stall the method call until after everything is painted and the inputValue is entered? Sorry, but you hve to look to the previous post for the code.

Why some PDF docs displayed are garbled and others are not?

I've had this love hate relationship with adobe for the past few days. I'm so frustrated since I can't seem to figure why other pdf docs display information correctly while others are garbled. It looks as if the letters/text overlap. I 'm loosing sleep over this. I'm at my wits end. Can someone please help? I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Thanks,
C

Hi Allegria11,
Don't lose sleep over Adobe! Let's see what we can figure out. But I have lots of questions to get us started:
Are you creating the PDFs yourself, or viewing PDFs from different sources?
What are you using to view the PDFs (Reader, Acrobat, and what versions)?
Do these PDFs all use the same fonts, or different ones?
Do you know whether the fonts are embedded/subsetted in the PDFs? (You can check by choosing File > Properties and clicking the Fonts tab.
Let's start there, and we will dig deeper if none of these shed any light on the problem.
Best,
Sara

I had Adobe Acrobat ver. 5 which I was unable to uninstall due to some corrupt files.
Then I tried to install Adobe Acrobat Professional ver 8 . It popped up an error message that You already have a version of adobe which is to be removed. Hence I formatted my C: drive and then successfully installed Adobe Professional Ver 8 . It was a trial version for 30 days.
But when I tried opening Adobe Live Cycle which comes with it, a message popped up saying that Grace Period is over . Please download e-license. My friends who earlier had installed Adobe Professional from the CD are not getting any messages .
Any Ideas to solve the problem.

Why cant pdf portfolios be converted

why cant pdf portfolios be converted?

They can be, but it's a bit of a work-around, you must have Acrobat Pro:
Portfoilio to pdf:
Open Portfolio
Beside the layout button there is a Files button - Click Files Button
Go to EDIT>SELECT ALL
Control Right click - Extract from Portfolio
Save files in a new folder.
FILE>CREATE>COMBINE FILES INTO A SINGLE PDF

Why do I have to click the mouse so hard?

Why do I have to click the mouse so hard? Whether I'm using a Bluetooth or a wired mouse, I find I have to click really hard to make it work when selecting text (in any application). This is not good for my wrist. Is anyone else experiencing this?

two types: an old and excellent Apple wired mouse (not mighty) and a Bluetooth mouse (not mighty).

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
Given:
1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
I love this forum...thank you again!

PDF Maker hangs

Hi All,
I have been experiencing an ongoing problem with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 every since I originally installed the program. The problem is that PDF Maker hangs when I try to create a PDF file from Word.
This only occurs when I am signed-in as “John” (with Administrator rights) on my Laptop. It doesn’t occur when I’m signed-in as the built-in Administrator, although an error dialog appears and then disappears in Windows 8 when I create a PDF.
Details of exactly what I am running are as follows:
- HP Pavilion DV-7 Laptop (originally with Windows Vista).
- Windows 8 (64-bit).
- Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.
- Microsoft Word 2003.
I have worked around this in the past by signing-in as the Administrator, but can no longer do this as Windows 8 will not open most Apps as the built-in Administrator.
I was planning to upgrade to the current version of Acrobat, but am hesitant to do so until I can resolve this issue.
Any help or advice on a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John.

Bill,
Thanks for the response.
I have AA8 ver8.0.0 installed at present. I have recently re-installed it after upgrading to Windows 8.
I will look into updating to 8.1 or later – although the release note don’t mention this issue.
Regards,
John.

Why will PDF not open from email?

I recently modified my Adobe Reader 9.1 (with instructions from the bank) to be able to electronically sign documents.
Since then I can not open any PDF documents from email. I went back and reversed the changes I made. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. No luck.
I have to save the documents and open them from Windows Explorer.
Any Ideas?

A fast workaround for PDF problem (See my original post)
In Firefox:
Open Tools > Options > Under Main tab click Save files to > click Browse
Scroll up or down to find where you want it to go (I put mine under Documents because it's the easiest to find).
Click New folder and label it something you will quickly recognize.
Now when you click on a PDF attachment it will automatically be sent to that file and you can double click or open
it in Adobe Reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Note) If I use Internet Explorer (I have not used IE in years) I can open PDF's from Hotmail with out a problem.
I like Firefox better so I will continue to use the quick workaround until somebody finds a fix.
If you use IE, here are the instructions for saving PDF files.
Click
to open Windows Mail.
Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it
in the message list.
In the message window, click the File menu,
and then click Save Attachments.
Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.
By default,
Windows Mail saves attachments in your
Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder,
click Browse, and then select a folder.
Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.

Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
