Before I can ask a question, I need to specify which product I am asking about.  When I start to write Contribute, the answer says something like look under Adobe Contribute.  I don't know see anything under Adobe.Thank you.

When ever I'm typing into a new message for a post sometimes the keyboard skips and jumps to the next line or skips the recognition of some letters altogether.  I think there's a problem with the way that Jive's Forum is handling user input.  Can this be fixed?  I noticed it in some other people's post by the way the characters and lines are spaced also.

"Warning: Changing your e-mail also changes your Adobe ID, which may impact access to your services and your personal content in any of them."Why on earth does this have to be so? Why isn't the e-mail just a property of the Adobe ID?

I have "always subscribe to my posts via email" enabled in my preferences, but have yet to receive a notification.just thought i would let you know it doesn't work. but i'm sure it won't get fixed, just like all the software bugs.

After reading someone's post, why do I always go back to the very first page when I hit the back button? There's no other way of going back to the page I was on before. Scrolling through maybe 10 pages to find what may be an answer to my query and then hitting the back button and going all the way back to the first page is damned annoying.

I would like to write on the whiteboards, but using my mouse is ridiculous.  Which pen does the company, and others recommend?

In Photoshop CS 4, when I try to save a TIFF file to a JPG file sometimes I can & sometimes I cannot. When I cannot: the jpg format does not appear in the Format window. What am I doing wrong? How do I save the file JPG format consistently?

Hi,It looks like overtime I ended up using two accounts to access the forums.Anybody I can contact with the relevant information so they can merge the two accounts?Thanks for any help.Steve JORDI

As you can see when you go Up to Discussions in (the) Illustrator (forum), this thread seems to have one reply too few (currently 1 instead of 2); these two first replies were posted within the same minute; I returned to the forum immediately after posting (first) and found that there was apparently 1 reply, namely post #2.http://forums.adobe.com/thread/573185?tstart=0We may have hit the limit of discerning posts in the forum thread list, or encountered a black hole there, but neither post went into a black hole in the thread.

We have documents that we will either scan or have sent to us in scanned PDF format.What we need to do is reorder the pages, apply OCR to these documents, fix up the OCR, generate an index page for the document, then trim down the generated index to just the topics of interest and merge together items that are synonyms or otherwise related phrases for the same topics in the index.Acrobat Pro seems to do most of this, except for generating and editing the index page.Which Adobe tools will we need for this job please?

Hi. I've just bought CS4 from what appeared to be a UK supplier (turned out to be US) only to find the software supplied is for "US ONLY" - to be used in the UK. Will this software run and be registered OK from the UK with Adobe?I've been all over the Adobe site but can't find anywhere which allows me to ask this question to Adobe.Thanks anyoneAlan

I am, for some unkown reason, receiving posts/threads that I am not involved with. I hope someone can correct that soon. This started "out of the blue" today, 1/26/2010. Thanks , .357

This is a problem we've alll been facing... in some cases it resolves after the first couple of lines or so. Here's a case where the whole message is affected:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2512337#2512337

I've been a photoshop user for years (since V3) and I work with photoshop every day (except my day off) and I have several things that really aggravate me about the version CS4. Arrange DocumentsWhich ever one of the brilliant little kids at Adobe thought this one up should have it crammed up their butt sideways and wrapped in barbed wire!   The CS3 functionality was fine and Adobe didn't even give me a "if you like the document arrangement of CS3, please click here".  I've clicked the available Arrange Document drop down box to select float all in windows... that works but it doesn't stay that way.  Also, when I place on document next to another, they merge.  Bummer.Show all Menu ItemsAgain, Adobe's brilliant little kids must have been at one of Hugh Hefner's martini blanket parties thinking of shortcuts to get to "home plate".   Most professionals I know with Photoshop use at least 2 monitors.   I use two 21 inchers set side by side - one

I have tried to change my screen name from curt y to Curt Y in Your Account/Account Information.  Says name is unavailable.  Yet a search shows no hits for it.  Is there some other thing I am missing?Had the same problem when we switched to new forum.  Old name was unavailable.How many points do you have to surrender to get some of The Wine_Snob's magic name changing Jive dust?

I don't remember if this issue was discussed before, but I just had a really odd delay with my email notifications for the forums -- both outgoing, and incoming.http://forums.adobe.com/thread/563137?tstart=0Any comments?Harbs

If I am in the Premiere Pro forum, and I search for a term, it should be understood that I only want to search in the Premiere Pro forum.  I shouldn't have to do a search, click "more options," scroll down to "Premiere Pro," and then search again.  It's an unnecessary waste of time.  Could this be changed?J.

I start by apologizing if the answer to this question is well known, but I have never used a newsreader myself.A large number of the people posting in the forums in Spanish prior to this new version of the forums did it in the ex Macromedia side, where almost everyone used newsreaders. Almost all of them stopped participating in the forums when newsreader access became unavailable.Quite recently, some of them began coming back, but their profiles show them all as "Newsreader_User". Is there an easy way for them to recover their ancient IDs/screen names?

Starting today at some indeterminate time, I have been logged out of the forums in less that one hour periods. Firefox/Mac, Safari/Vista, Explorer/Vista.

I have a big problem. Last year I bought a CS4 Design Premium package for the PC. However, I am switching systems to Apple (iMac) in a month and my CS4 for the PC won't work on an Apple Mac system. Buying new photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign is more expensive than I can afford. Is there a way to change or upgrade from PC to Mac? I hope anyone can help me.Kind regardsMarjolein

So I've discovered a glitch with the forums that I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing...If you copy anything from the posting window while creating a new discussion or if you paste anything into this window, it causes a message to be displayed saying "are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Your content will not be saved." when you press the Post Message button.I have a habit of hitting select all and copy when I'm making posts just incase anything goes wrong. If I do that on these forums, I cannot post and loose all of my info.If I try to paste in a link from the clipboard, the same thing happens.I thought this is something quite serious that I should bring to everyone's attention.This happens in both IE 8 and Firefox 3.5.7

Hi all,I have been in contact with Adobe Tech Support since the beginning of November when I started receiving a message "licensing stopped working." I spent hours and hours calling tech support, with no solution. Often times my calls were hung up in transition. More than a few times, I was promised a call back "in ten minutes," or "in two hours," but calls were either never returned, or returned another day when I was at work (even though I told them I would not be available on that day). I tried all remedies they suggested, but they did not solve the problem. Finally they told me to send them a log file, which I did in the end of November. They said they would call me back in a few hours -- and it has been almost two months. I requested the result of log analysis a few times via Portal, but no reply. Meanwhile, I was unable to use my CS3 (I was using CS4 trial version for a while, but I was not even able to use it after performing one 'remedy' a tech support suggested). Yesterday I s
