Solved

My computer restarted after windows updates and now I'm unable to preview pdf's as before. I have tried resetting View Options... in different options as suggested by multiple forums. None have been able to re-activate the Preview Pane option. In Adobe preferences, I've checked and unchecked "Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer" without success.Coworkers are now experiencing the same thing after the automatic updates occurred after-hours. Suggestions or alternatives to opening each file?

I obtained access to Premiere Pro about 3 weeks ago and began the tutorials that were provided when I opened the app. However, I had to step away and today I noticed there is a new series available with a different instructor. While trying to download the sample files to follow along, I get the following error: This is true in either Chrome or Edge. And I have followed all of the steps recommended to get past this type of error (up to and including our IT folks and internal security protocols). This leads me to believe the issue is with where the files are being held. I do not have this issue with the advanced course files or the course files found in Ae and Ch tutorials.  

Since updating to Illustrator v 30.2.1 on Windows 11, I’ve been having a lot of problems relinking files. It will generally work correctly once or twice, and then when I try to relink any more files, nothing happens when I click the relink icon; ie, file explorer doesn’t open to let me choose a file to replace the link with. I end up having to close and reopen Illustrator to be able to relink any more files, and the cycle repeats. I rely on this functionality a lot in my day to day template based work, so I ended up reverting to 30.1, and everything is working perfectly again, so this appears to be a bug specific to the latest release.

How do I stop Acrobat from displaying these annoying and instrusive banners whenever I open Acrobat on my Mac?I feel like I'm running crappy adware…

I want to convert a folder full of HEIC files to JPEG and I was hoping Bridge could do this as a batch process.I am getting the following error message in Bridge (which spawns Photoshop CC in the process) when I try to open an HEIC image file:"Photoshop Camera Raw does not support HEIC files on windows". The Adobe Help page titled HEIC and HEVC media files support in Lightroom and Camera Raw says:"In the Camera Raw Preferences dialog box, ensure that the JPEG/HEIC field is set to either Automatically open JPEGs and HEICs with settings or Automatically open all supported JPEGs and HEICs. To access Camera Raw Preferences, click the Open Preferences Dialog button  in the Camera Raw dialog box." Whether from Bridge or PS I do not see the above text in my Camera Raw Preferences dialog box even though I just updated LR Classic CC, PS CC 2019 and Camera Raw this morning. Camera Raw Prefs ver 11.3.9.197Bridge ver 9.0.3.279 x64Adobe Photoshop Version: 20.0.4 20190227.r.76 2019/02/27: 1205

Why is the Program Monitor displaying a negative image?  I have a new install on a new computer, going from a WIN10 to WIN11 machine.  WIN10 was fine.  In the PM settings, it is set for composite video,  resolution ½ (tried others). This is the first project and first opening of Premier, with the first source video I put in.   I have not made any changes. I tested export or the source clip and the rendered video looks fine.  Stumped.

I am tryin to edit a multi angle concert. All Audio works fine until I right click my files, go to Multi-Camera and click enable. Then my audio doesnt play back anymore.

I sent the audio away to be mixed/mastered and want to get all my video editing done for when the file is back on monday.

Photoshop 2025 Elements won't open, says I need to “buy now”. It let me use it for 7 days by clicking free trial, but now since the 7 days won’t open I’m unable to open it on my PC. I bought a 3 year term lease on 3/5/2025 so I know it hasn’t run out yet. I reinstalled it and I still get the same message. I tried the chat but because it says I don’t have an active plan it won’t let me chat with a human, and AI doesn’t have a clue. I’m using the same email address I did to redeem the code from Amazon. Please help!!! 

I was planning to subscribe to Acrobat Standard, but the Adobe sales rep talked me into the new Acrobat Express to save money but without a feature comparison available yet on their Web site.  Now I’m completely lost in this new software.One of the main features I wanted was OCR, which Standard seems to offer on the desktop, but Express seems to be pushing me off to the Cloud version (included) for that and other services.  I have no intention of using the cloud; I want the advertised features local on my desktop.Can somebody please explain what the how to get OCR of scanned documents on Express?

I used to do some amateur video editing with premiere and other video editing software when I was a kid (20yrs ago). I don't have the time like I used to and I have a lot of raw clips over the years of various events. I want to upload a bunch of clips, have AI review all the clips and put together a short video based on my input (quick highlights, theme, vibe, etc) Is Fi the tool for this? I tried other lower cost software but it seemed to just track random clips, randomly cut them and slap together with transitions and music/audio and not actually review or understand the raw content on what was a good shot/moment. I believe this is where AI has struggled in the past so wonder if adobe has this.

Do you have any plans for ever porting more apps to ARM-based systems (or at least allowing emulation)? Dreamweaver in particular. It’s been over two years since Premiere has been ported and no real news since then even with the apps currently in beta

Since Dreamweaver 21.8 (on a Mac running 26.5.2) some on my old Project VII extensions have disappeared. Not all of them, but more than half. I had installed them using DMX Zone Extension Manager 1.3.0 (newest) years ago. The missing extensions still show as active in DMX. Now, with Dreamweaver 21.8, If I try to uninstall an extension (to then re-install it) I get an error saying that my menu.xml file is corrupt. There seems to be multiple files named that associated with Dreamweaver!Any thoughts?

HI,I have PP and use MP4 files like most people do.I've now just discovered I can't add MP4 files to my cloud. So what's point of it then??Very disappointing! Can anyone explain the resoning behind this?Cheers,General cloud document storage: Only native formats like PSDC (Photoshop Cloud), AIC (Illustrator Cloud), XD, INDC, and certain PDF and InDesign files are supported. Direct uploads of MP4, MP3, AVI, GIF, JPG, PNG, DOC, PPT, XLS, and similar files are now largely blocked for upload as generic files.

I signed the free week plan but than the week ended and I forgot to cancel it and they discounted on my bank account, Can I be refunded? 

Merge to HDR in LrC 15.3 is stalling (beach ball) or not responding.  I frequently merge HDR images for Real Estate photos and today, after updating to LrC 15.3 I had to Force Quit from LrC multiple times to regain control of LrC.  I stacked my bracketed shots and used CTRL+H to merge.  LrC did process a couple before stalling.  After multiple attempts resulting in Force Closing, I tried using the menu commands, no change.  I then uninstalled 15.3 and reinstalled a fresh copy of 15.3 and the HDR problem continued.  Finally I uninstalled 15.3 and downgraded to 15.2.1 and the Merge to HDR function worked as expected.  

I received this email from a fake Adobe site that I need you to look into: 

Hi,I just finished building a new pc, and I want to use my CS6 Production Premium on it.But, after installing CS6 Production premium, it tells me that the serial number X is already in ue by the maximum of 2 computers.You need to deactivate another computer within 30 days to use this product.I do not have access to those computers that are currently using my serial number, so I need help with remotely deactivating those computers using the serial number.And i was told that asking in here was the way to do it. :).

Has anyone else paid for a month thinking they were on a monthly plan, canceled, then had another invoice paid, then warned about an early cancellation fee without their permission?

Tengo una colección en Lightroom Classic con muchas fotografías a las que, en su momento, apliqué los mismos ajustes.El problema es que no recuerdo qué preset utilicé originalmente. Al revisar el panel Historial de las fotografías, no aparece el nombre del preset, sino únicamente la acción “Pegar ajustes”, ya que aparentemente copié los ajustes desde otra fotografía y luego los pegué en las demás.¿Existe alguna forma de saber qué preset fue el origen de esos ajustes?Por ejemplo:¿Lightroom guarda en algún metadato o archivo el nombre del preset utilizado originalmente? ¿Es posible comparar los ajustes actuales de una fotografía con mis presets instalados para encontrar cuál coincide? ¿Hay alguna otra manera de rastrear el preset desde el catálogo o el archivo XMP?Tengo todos los presets que utilizaba en esa época; simplemente necesito identificar cuál de ellos corresponde a esos ajustes.Gracias.

Hello People,May I request your help and assistance?Current Situation: I currently use two devices for my post-processing (Lightroom Classic & Photoshop):- iMac 2019 (Intel-based) - [primary device]- Macbook Pro 2019 (Intel-based) - [secondary device]Problem Statement: I have stopped receiving newer OS versions on my iMac, and every security update is slowing down the iMac. Therefore, I have decided to shift my post-processing to the MacBook Pro.My question: How can I transfer my settings and presets from iMac to MacBook Pro? Settings primarily include:- Work environment settings- Image export presets- Image processing presetsCaveats: The last attempt at transferring presets with the help of ChatGPT resulted in a disaster, and I lost 30-odd of my presets.Many thanksWith kind regardsTanmay Joshi

So I'm not new to print, having worked on some glossy perfect bound magazines for a few years. I'm due to start a new role on a newspaper. As it is UK tabloid size, I thought I'd mock up some layouts based on sizes available, but clearly this was before seeing the product – my InDesign margin, trim, bleed seem way out. So far what I gather: newspapers don't have bleed, I assume this is correct. Editorial, and adverts are type area only unless going across two pages where you have to account for the extra 20mm centre gutter.Also, what is this? The front half of the newspaper overhangs the back? Should this be accounted for in InDesign, or is a quirk of printing newspapers? I'd appreciate any pointers or tips on setting up InDesign, or newspaper production in general. I'm sure all will be clear once I start, but just wanted to get ahead.

I don't want any of my data or property stored outside my control. This is a real problem for security and NDA compliance. 

画像のように、Adobe stockパネルからタイムラインパネルに直接ドラッグ＆ドロップできません。（画像のカーソル周辺の大きい丸は、画面録画中のために出るもので操作には影響していません） Adobe Stockパネル内で無料の画像を検索し、出てきた画像素材をタイムラインパネルに配置しようとドラッグするのですが、上記のようにエラーでドロップできません。 Adobe Stockパネル内のダウンロードボタンからダウンロード→ライブラリパネルやプロジェクトパネルに表示された素材は、タイムラインパネルに問題なくD＆Dできます。また、「挿入や上書きを行うソースのパッチ」もロックがかかっていないビデオトラックでオンにしましたが、変わりません。Premiere再起動やPC再起動も試しました。 Adobe Stockパネルから(ダウンロードすることなく)D&Dできると非常に助かるのですが、こちらのエラーの解決方法をご存知の方はいらっしゃいますでしょうか。 環境はMacBook Pro M3 proチップMacOS 14.4Premiere Pro V26.2.2です。 何卒よろしくお願いいたします。

I was putting together a small clip the other day to post on our social platforms and couldn't add any music from our personal library. Attached is a image showing what use to be in the menu bar for adding your music and it’s no longer there. This is what the updated version looks like without “Your music” option. Any help is much appreciated.  I feel like I’m just overlooking something.
