Hi there, first time I've taken the "forum" route to find an answer but would be very grateful if anyone can help me.I have just purchased and installed an upgrade from Creative Suite design Premium form CS4 to CS5.5 and have two issues.Theres lotes fo new stuff and to get up to speed quickly, I have tried to access the inbuilt help files (e.g., in InDesign: "Help>Indesign Help". Unfortunately, nothing happens except a "TextEdit" error box appears saying:"Adobe Air This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."I located Adobe Air on my system, un-installed it using the uninstaller and then down loaded it again from Adobe's website and reinstalled. The error message persists - any help?Also, as more of an annoyance then a real problem. I had a window "pop up" that offered a free benefit for registering my product with a link to update mt Adobe profile and a link to show what benefits were available (a choice between a

Hi.First of all I want to apologise for creating new thread while older one exists (created by other person).Older thread is marked as answered, so it looks like nobody is visiting it.Here is the link to that thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4052703#4052703My problem is that I can not access any Adobe forum.I live in Ukraine (east Europe), tried three different ISP providers and still get 403 Forbidden error when accessing adobe forums.This lasts for a couple of month now.Trashing cookies does not help.At the moment, I am writing this post using foreign proxy server.Is there any way to fix this issue?I really can not understand the reason for blocking whole countries to prevent spammers activity (as mentioned in older thread), instead of just blocking those spammers.

I wasn't really sure where to post this so; I decided the general section would be nice.Here's the thing: I know how to use Photshop, Illustrator, Flash, and Indesign (and other adobe programs) HOWEVER what I don't know or am never really sure on is Print. I always see a job every now and then that requires you to be print ready or have print experience.All I know about printing is bleed (usually for business cards) and that CMYK is for printing. So my question is: What can I do to be professional in printing? Mostly everything I do is for the web.

I have a pc and just bought a mac. All I need to do is swap my seed from a pc to mac so I can use Photoshop on my new computer. . . However, I called tonight and waited on hold for over an hour and a half and no one ever answered. I wish there was a way to send an e-mail so that I won't have to spend so much time waiting on the phone to not get anything resolved. Very disappointing to say the least.

Locking a thread due to insults supports the negative behavior on the part of the abusers.Now they know all they have to do to close a thread that's bugging 'em is hurl insults.Likewise, you are punishing those who have reported the insults - don't report insults on threads or they might be closed.I suggest banning the abusers from the forum instead.The flamers know how to find their targets regardless of which thread has the most recent rash of insults.The problem has nothing to do with the thread and everything to do with disrespectful people.

When I installed my CS5 suite I chose to not install Photoshop 32 bit can I later?

I can't seem to get the layers in my templates editable (not the content in the layers).  I'm using CS5.5 but my manual is from MX and the manual says its possible but doesn't tell me how.  In the pages based on the template i need to move the layers around while keeping the background and title in place.  HELP! Please.

This website is pretty good! How can I make one like this !?

I have seen a few posts from the Community Help group/portal, that were placed in a few of the product forums. All that I am seeing are the link to an Adobe KB Article, that I assume points someone to a starting point, in answering their question, and in one, a reply, but not sure that that reply indicated that the linked article helped, or not. What I am not seeing is any reference to the original question.Pierre kindly responded that these posts are being generated, and populated to the appropriate product forum, and I think that is a great idea - sort of what most of us do here, when one has posted of a product problem, or question.This THREAD in the PrPro Forum, is an example, along with Pierre's comment to me.I do not know if perhaps I am just not seeing the original post/question (on Chrome on PC), or if something is missing, and the original question is not propogating in the Community Help post?In the Thread, you can see my initial Reply, and then Pierre's, and then my Reply to

I purchased CS5 in April 2011. I received an email saying I could get a free upgrade to CS5.5 when it was released. I got busy and forgot about it. I just tried to redeem the offer and was denied. They claimed the "offer had expired". I looked over the email, and website, no expiration dates are posted. I talked with a chat support person who told me that same thing. I was transfered to his supervisor and was told the same thing, yet again. When I asked to see a written expiration date, the only answer I got was told "I am sorry, even the redemption period is internal information which cannot be disclosed". Internal information? Really?This is very simple Adobe. You offered a free upgrade. You didn't mention an expiration date on your offer. Keep your word and keep a customer happy.Adobe, what's your answer?p.s. when "adobe_customer_service_sucks" is an auto-pupulated tag below, you should really rethink your strategy.

Just want to point out that inline links in text are difficult to see.  To work around it, I usually post links like this:To go to Adobe's site, click this:  http://www.adobe.com...instead of...Click here to go to Adobe's site.But not everyone thinks of doing this.  I just missed a link in someone's post because dark blue text is not that obvious amongst black text, especially if there are few letters.Please fix the forum software so that links in the text are underlined.Note also that while editing the links DO have underlines.  WYSINWYG-Noel

Since my first visit to these forums, it has been very clearly stated that this is a User to User area, and that these forums are not a way of addressing Adobe. However, lately I have noriced that the expression "User to User" no longer appears in the main page of almost any forum (it does in the Spanish forum, but it also says forums when there is only one). Also, a number of new participants have appeared who display the label Adobe Employee under their names.Has the situation changed? I ask because, if there are regular participants speaking officially for Adobe, I don't want to appear as a fool by misleadingly addressing "lost" users to other pages when they are really at the right one.

I have noticed that in these forums any links to product advertisement is considered to be a spam but some products promotion are allowed.  Is there any guidance anywhere for people to read them to avoid any problems?  For example this particular link is clearly a promotion but nobody has removed it:<http://forums.adobe.com/message/4215795#4215795>Perhaps there is one rule for mere mortals like us and special rules for privileged few!!  How can I join this band of privilege few?  I am a very nice chap if you guys treat me nice

hi, i am facing problem as to how to pass arguments received by my swf file to an .exe that i have created from a C++ project...do i need to tweak the code in the C++ project in some way that it accepts the input from the .swf file?

In the Illustrator forum we are getting some silly threads that no one know what to do about. It seems to be posted by Community Help with an article that the first post seems to be a question about, but it is all completely unintelligible to us, the natives, and the supposed first poster seems to have no clue of being transferred.So far, we have two threads:http://forums.adobe.com/message/4205555?tstart=0#4205555http://forums.adobe.com/thread/962694?tstart=0Please spare us, we have enough to do with providing real community help.For some (or no) reason I was unable to post a reply in the other thread,http://forums.adobe.com/thread/955582?tstart=0

Hello FriendsI need your help who ever love to help me if Free.I have a project but in it some of things not working.what i have:-A rar document..when i compress it it has following files.JS.html.swfNow when i open html file.It opens into browser.there it give me the login page.i want to edit this page cause some action application in it is expired and i want to remove that.So when we remove that the html file will work again as desired..swf file contains the data related to the html file.it has set of mxml files. i think we need to decomplie the swf fileand then edit one of the mxml file and compile it again.

I have just experienced a rather strange outage in the Illustrator forum: I made a reply and submitted it, but nothing happened for a long time. Eventually, the reply was replaced by a small box with the message Bad gate. At the same time, the Illustrator forum (open in another Tab) was replaced by the Site temporarily unavailable message.After maybe a quarter of an hour (trying now and again), the forum reappeared, but I was logged out. I had to login and close the tab with the Bad gate. When I entered the thread in question from the forum to rereply, I was able to use a recovered version.Stay away from bad gates, if you can spot them.

When clicking on the Learning link at the top of Adobe.com I am now redirected to the forums, rather than seeing Adobe Labs, etc page. Is this permanent or some snafu?

How do you print a pdf with A4 portrait & A3 landscape pages?

When I convert a word document to PDF my pages go from portrait to landscape. I've tried various methods of conversion and get this every time. I've tried other documents and this doesn't happen. I've looked at the formatting characters and can't see anything that could cause this. any ideas?

Hi, both places seem to be down, shouldn't there be a mention in the respective forums?Some posts in Marketplace seem to indicate that it this situation is not new...

The Feature Request / Bug report form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform does not actually provide a form for several of the products (including the two products I use (Premiere & Photoshop Elements).But I can't find anywhere to report this problem - both the technical and customer support links direct to a 'choose type of problem' screen none of which would seem to cover the fault with that form.Any suggestions ?Example of the problem:Adobe Premiere Elements - Nothing:Adobe Encore - The proper form:Cheers,-- NealeInsanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
