Hi mw, Do you have Adobe Acrobat DC? If so, consider: Edit images or objects in a PDF, Adobe Acrobat DC You could edit in Photoshop, then save it as jpg from there. Alternately, if you don't have Acrobat (and are using the free Adobe Reader) consider using a screen snapshot tool such as Snagit or the built-in Windows Snipping tool or Mac screen capture shortcuts. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13776/windows-use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots How to take a screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support Mike ...

I'll echo the same questions as "Test Screen Name" above: 1. Are you using the Acrobat toolbar in the Word ribbon to create the PDF? 2. What version of Word? 3. What version of Acrobat? 4. What Operating system and version? If you're not using Acrobat, we may not be able to assist here, but perhaps we can steer you in the right direction. Please clarify your process, and clarify all the relevant software information as noted above. Mike ... View more

Just for the record, same problem here. GTX970 on Windows 10. I get the error message about Direct2D, but there is no issue playing or exporting video. It started happening prior to the most recent update (I'm currently on 2015.6 but it was doing this on the most recent earlier version). Interestingly, the Error dialog has a "More Info" button that takes you to this Microsoft KB web page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971644 Which is "Description of the Platform Update for Windows Server 2008 and the Platform Update for Windows Vista." It does mention some updates for DirectX 2D acceleration there. But, the recommended solution is to run Windows update. The KB page is dated 2012. Bizarre. Mike ... View more

Hi Travis, Please tell us what software you're using. If if you're using Photoshop, consider using the Image Processor from within Bridge: http://www.hoffmanartdesign.com/2009/09/adobe-bridge-image-processor-batch-on-steroids/ Mike ... View more

Hi Alyssa, The Lightroom presets will, of course, work in Lightroom. The Photoshop Actions require the full version of Photoshop and will not work with Elements. The Photo Overlays and Print Templates (Cards, etc.) should work OK in Photoshop Elements. I should point out that, although you have LR6, it's important to realize that Adobe offers the Photography plan for $9.99 per month, which includes the latest versions of LR and PS (the full PS). LR6 is several years old, and is falling behind LRCC in features and capability. https://creative.adobe.com/plans Hope this helps! Mike ... View more

Hi Chris, I don't think you can unsigned a document. You'll need to start over. As far as your visible name, all I can see is "christ77902044." I was assuming that was for "Chris T," although it doesn't say so explicitly. I believe we can all see our own name, which is misleading, but is apparently a "feature" of the Jive software that the forums are built upon. I don't think you can change your display name, but you can control whether your real name is shown by a rather circuitous path: 1. Click the dropdown at the top right of the page next to your avatar; 2. Click "View Profile;" 3. On your profile page, click "Actions" and then "Edit Community Profile;" 4. Go to the Privacy tab, and there you'll find the controls for who can see what. Mike ... View more

Hi Chris, If you're just trying to add the visual appearance of a signature, but don't want to digitally sign the document, create a stamp. You can stamp away to your heart's content, and you can create a custom stamp with any image - your initials, full signature, whatever. You'll to change your workflow away from thinking of "signing" the document in the digital sense, because that's apparently not what you want to do. As mentioned before, when you "sign" the document, it is protected from further modification (other than adding another signature). So stamp, don't sign. Sounds like that's what you're wanting to do.

Hi James, [Note - I'm going to ask that this thread be moved to the Acrobat forums] If you have thousands of layers, but don't want to use the layers list yo toggle them individually, what is your vision? Anything other than using the list of layers to toggle on/off will require you to add buttons and programming in one of the supported scripting languages (i.e. JavaScript). if you mean that you want to begin with all layers off, then use the layers list to turn them on (a one-time effort), then you could likely do that in the authoring program prior to exporting to PDF.

Hi Andrew, You can put a border around a text field on a form, but there's no provision for placing a border on a text box. You'll either need to do this in the authoring program (for example InDesign, Word, Excel, etc.) or perhaps use the markup tools to add a rectangle shape. I wouldn't recommend the shape, because you'll have to tweak the size and position manually. Mike ... View more

Why would there be a deadline? What does it matter if Windows 7 support is ending? Adobe CC products run fine on Windows 10. I'm not sure I understand why the planned deprecation of an older Windows version would create any kind of deadline, nor any impetus to have a Linux version. The two don't seem related to me. Am I missing a key point? (Off I go to read the discussion John has linked above) Mike ... View more

Hi Gib39, I have been managing my main Lightroom catalog using Dropbox to sync from my Windows desktop to my Macbook and back, since LR5. It's not without a little fuss from time to time, but it has worked well for me for quite a few years. I've created a video tutorial explaining how I do this. In the text of the article are links to earlier tutorials I made about Smart Previews, which are the key to really going portable (i.e. without lugging the external drive along). Make sure to check out those tutorials as well to learn about Smart Previews, if you're not familiar with them. Here's the tutorial on creating a portable LR catalog using Dropbox (works with any sync system like Box, Google Drive, etc): A Portable Lightroom Catalog - Mike Hoffman I hope this helps! Mike ...

Hi David, PDF Conversion options must be set for each file type. Depending on how you're doing the conversion, these options can be set in different ways. If you're working from Acrobat, and choose to "Creat PDF from File," then you'll want o choose the "Advanced Options" link after you select the file to be converted: For converting from Work to PDF, you can choose to add bookmarks and to convert links. If you're working from Word directly, open the Acrobat tab in the ribbon, and choose Preferences. This opens a dialog box with even more options, including the ability to specify which Word styles are converted into Bookmarks. Note that you have to build any TOC or Index in Word, Acrobat doesn't have a TOC generation utility. ... View more

I'm asking for this to be moved to one of the Acrobat forums. Meanwhile, can you describe your workflow and provide some more detail? 1. How are you attempting to create the PDF?

Hi Herbert, By PS-7 do you mean Photoshop version 7.0, originally released in 2002? I haven't heard any reports one way or the other of it working on Windows 10, but you can always test it out to see. Certainly, it isn't supported, but you might have some luck with it. Or, save yourself some headache, and sign up for the Creative Cloud for Photographers plan for $9.99 a month, and get the latest Photoshop and Lightroom versions that will definitely run on Windows 10.
