I used to use Corel Capture a lot. It was very easy and useful tool. I think it comes with CorelDraw.Is there any equivalent among Adobe programs? I have Illustrator CS and Photoshop CS, hoping one comes with them.Thanks

I'm curious what kind of speed folks are getting with these new forums.  For my own experience, they're drastically slower than the older forums.Using Firefox 3 and 3.5b4, I get page load times of around 20 seconds on average for a page to fully load.  IE8 is slower still.  This is on a 768 DSL connection.Using the new Chrome browser, I get a more acceptable 2 second page load time on average.  (Which clearly shows there's nothing wrong with my connection.)That is a VAST difference.  With other web sites, Chrome and Firefox display pages in very similar time frames.  It's only with these forums that Firefox is slowed to a crawl.  I wonder if any forum techies can chime in with theories as to why?

Well, i guess the topic says it all....

posted in the InDesign forum.Sorry folks, but word has come down from above that abuse of the point system is counter-productive. There are management types that actually believe some users see points as an incentive to provide a quality answer, and that they wouldn't do so without the points, but that's not a widely held opinion among hosts. Nevertheless, I have to lock the thread, and warn you that at some point there will be official sanctions for those who post threads with the sole purpose of gaming the point system.If they don't want the point system abused then we need to do away with it. This forum is becoming less and less a place I want to help at. I think I will start looking for another Photoshop forum.

I was reading Joel on Software today and he was talking about "Stack Overflow" which is a very successful Q&A forum for programmers by programmers.  Joel makes the point that the Stack Overflow board (which is similar to these forums in that it's a technical support forum) uses a point system. Joel goes on to write;"It’s not much of a secret, but Stack Overflow is already a great place to find good programmers, because you can see how good people really are by reading the answers that they post. I’ve noticed a lot of people putting their Stack Overflow reputations on their resumes, and we’re starting to hear stories of people who got jobs through the site. Jeff and I are committed to building features to make this easier in the next “six to eight” weeks. For example, I’ve always hated traditional resumes, which just don’t give the right kind of information about a candidate. If you wanted to hire an iPhone developer, would you rather know that person’s Stack Overflow stats in

Dear Adobe team. e-mail replies more or less work now (apart from the still unfixed formatting issues).But ... sometimes there are considerable delays between the e-mail reply and the time that it's posted to your website. Sometimes 10-30 minutes. Of course, nobody can prove that it's Adobe servers not being able to catch up with all the e-mails. It might just as well have been delayed on it's way through "e-mail cyberspace" ...But I was writing mails to other people at the same time and they did reply back immediately ...... still no proof of anything.Just saying that you might want to check your server load, etc., because it happens that users don't find their e-mail reply here on the forums and then double post via the web interface (only to see their message posted a second time via e-mail then) ....

Am I missing something in the UI here? Why can't we do this basic function that all forums (even Jurassic DinoForum 1.0) provide?So wow, no preview, really? Is there an option to enable it maybe? It's kind of a standard forum feature, you would think.Sorry if this is an old topic--I would have done a search, but I don't feel like digging in the mile-long forum list to find this forum. Thanks Jive.

As the topic says...This common login is supposed to be one reason why Adobe can't implement NNTP. But what function does it serve? I've commented in another thread, and below is more or less, what i said there...That, i think, was the most assinine idea anyone ever came up with. I see no reason for not having separate log ins for store and forums / downloads. In fact, i can't think of one good reason to combine the two.If i were a user of the Adobe store, i would definitely prefer to have a separate login and password for that area. I think most people would. I see a lot of aliases in the forums. In the store, you'd want to use your real name for tax and audit purposes. Moreover, what's to stop people creating two identities anyway? So, the whole purpose of a common id is meaningless.Am sure, that even at this stage, it wouldn't be too difficult to separate the two. For instance, whenever i open the forums i see a welcome at the top of the screen. Right above 'Home'. Yet, i still have

all the threads are "unread" and my id has magically changed. did i get flagged by "the man" or something? i'm going to try simply changing it back, but i wanted someone to see this... screenshot follows. i did NOT change my id or in any way mess with my preferneces. haven't been in there (prefs) for a month or more.

I'm subscribed to very few threads, but I got an email which was pure spam, purporting to be a message in that thread. It isn't in the thread - can I assume it was removed before I saw the email? I hope that's all it was.

Like the below locked thread: "So many feature requests from the old forum are deleted. Why ??"....wha?  Wow!  Am I missing something or is there really NO way to tell if a thread is locked before you click on it?Every forum in the UNIVERSE indicates that.  The DINOSAURS forums even did.  I've seen 386 monochrome applications that implement this correctly.Where are our little PADLOCK ICONS, Jive?  (That's the last straw, bring back WebX!  BTW this is a free points thread. Get your free points here...)

I'm back to reading these fine forums via RSS. One thing I've noticed that isn't consisent with other forums is that in Acrobat Windows, RSS only shows the first post. It doesn't show other posts in the thread like Photoshop Windows. Is this by design or is it a bug ? In my mind this should be consistent throughout all the Forums. An official response would be appreciated.

No, I'm not encouraging people to keep sniping at each other - I just wanted to say, before the thread was locked, that I participate in another forum that has private messages - but it's possible to block individuals and not allow them to send you messages. Maybe that would help.

I know that what I am going to ask is possible, because this is the way it works on other forums I visitWhen you go to an Adobe forum and you are NOT logged in, it has a link that says Login / RegisterIf you ARE logged in, the same space says Welcome --name here-- and then goes on with several option links to the rightSo... the forum is "smart enough" to show different things depending on your current logged statusI will ask that that that initial not logged state be modified to show...Register or Login - and provide a SPACE FOR ID and a SPACE FOR PASSWORD and a "Click to Login" buttonIf you are already registered, there is no reason to have to go to a different page and then back to the forum... just allow entering your ID and PW right on the forum pageIf you need to register... that click would take you to a different page, to register

Helllo. I am writing to give a complain that the download link for Shockwave slim have a mildly serious problem. The problem is when I wanted to download Shockwave slim which should be the file size of 3.33MB, but instead gave me a huge file of 1.06GB of absolute nothing in the file, and it was a utter waste of time to download the file, mind you. Can it please be repaired immediately?

The "Last post" link to the right isn't visible at http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_windowsThis shows using Firefox 3.0.1 on both Windows and Mac.

In the old forums, my user ID was DaveBurns. I guess the user name associated with my Adobe account though was DFBurns.I'd like to change DFBurns to DaveBurns so that all my posts, old and new, appear from the same person. When I try to change my user name from DFBurns to DaveBurns, it tells me that name is already in use (as I pretty much expected). Is there a way to resolve this?
