Obviously, there's a problem with attached files not coming through.
I submitted a Bug Report through the Back Room.

Machine generated graphics have to be checked for accuracy and good image quality.
To be honest, the AI generated icons I've seen lately, all look similar. I think that's the risk you take when using a service that churns out millions of similar assets for practical use. It's not as important to be unique.
On the other hand, Stock is a commercial business that wants unique content. They have to please their paying customers.
Make sense?

You realize that any edits made from your client-side browser are temporary, right? As soon as you exit or refresh the page (Ctrl+R or F5), all edits are lost. Nothing is committed to the server until it's actually published there.
I still don't know what you think you were doing with keywords, though. Keywords are stored in Stock's database, not Adobe Portfolio.

You seem young & naive. I think you've burned too many bridges to be invited back. Copyright violation is a very serious matter that can't be swept under the rug. Violating the TERMS doesn't bode well for you. Sorry.
Take a break from Stock. Work on other projects. Come back in a few years when you're mature enough to treat this as a serious business and better understand the TERMS.

Good luck.

You don't work for Adobe. You work for yourself.
Adobe is just a vehicle through which you sell assets. That's all.
If your Contributor account is blocked, there is a reason for it. Review the Contributor TERMS that you agreed to when you joined.
https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/submission-guidelines.html
Contact Stock Contributor Support: https://contributor.stock.adobe.com/contact
This matter is solely between you and Adobe Stock, not fellow Contributors in this user-to-user community. Be patient. It may take several weeks for an investigation to conclude. Check your email spam folder. If requested, provide additional information directly to Adobe Stock.
Work on other projects. Submit content to other stock services. Good luck.

I assume Ctrl + Z (undo) has no effect.
If so, you'll have to undo whatever you did manually.
Note to self: DO NOT use automated tools for key wording assets. Nothing good can come from it.

Acrobat 2017 is End of Life. It's unsupported & no longer receiving security updates.

To ensure a safe & compatible experience with modern equipment, you really should use the latest version of Acrobat.

If you own the content and have obtained all necessary signatures to use the content commercially, I don't see any problem with using Veo.
Did you read their user TERMS? If you have any questions, ask Veo.

The version of Acrobat that shipped with CS6 (ver XI) won't work.
The subsequent version, DC, came out in 2015.

Way too dark (underexposed). See Histogram panel.
Deer antlers should be symmetrical (the same on both sides).
Cropped too tight. Not much room for additional text or other elements.
As a customer, I would find this difficult to use in professional projects.

See notice of Acrobat 2017 End Of Life. CS6 is 5 years older!
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/end-of-support-acrobat-2017-reader-2017.html
It's not worth the security risks to keep unsupported versions of Acrobat, especially when Acrobat Reader is Free.

I do not have access to the old computer...
By @artur_1497
===========
You've reached the end of the road for this product. Without access to previously installed devices, you can't activate on a new machine. Sorry.
Perpetual means you have a license to use it for the life of the software. At purchase, the shelf-life was 3-5 years. After which you were expected to replace it or use at your own risk of failures.
No computer product lasts forever. That's not how technology works. CS5 is 15-years-old. You got your money's worth and a good deal more.

Some places require you to reserve ahead for a commercial photography shoot and pay a fee. When in doubt, check their website for photo policies or call ahead. Also bring blank release forms with you when you travel.

Assets are periodically deleted from inventory for a number of reasons:
1) Stock already has similar content.
2) The asset should never have been approved in the first place.
3) The asset no longer meets Stock's standards.
4) Stock received a removal request for IP violation.
5) The asset received one or more customer complaints.
If you think you can fix the problems, feel free to edit & resubmit under a different file name. If not, don't worry about it. Carry on as usual with new content.

Adobe cannot ignore an official request for documents from your legal representative. Ask your attorney/solicitor to send a written request for the Fotolia licenses. Be sure to provide dates of purchase, asset ID numbers and any other relevant information you have to facilitate a timely search for the appropriate documents.

Good luck with your case.

I intend to help Adobe by sharing my user experiences, so they improve their end.
By @ZALEZPHOTO
===========
1) Adobe doesn't lurk in these user-to-user communities. You're preaching to the choir here.
I made the personal descision to upload exclusively to Adobe...
===========
2) I maintain no exclusivity to any one brand or service except when I'm forced to. Things can change abruptly. Having fallback options are preferable to having none.
We've all seen posts by ill-fated Contributors who had their accounts temporarily blocked or permanently terminated. In the absence of other revenue streams, they risked downing without a life preserver to keep them afloat. Don't be that ill-fated Contributor.
The constant rejection of flawless photos leaves me puzzled...
==========
3) Nothing is flawless. Some flaws are just less noticeable than others. Stock isn't personal. It's a fickle business driven by trends that come & go and a floating standards bar that never stays constant. Also, the competition is fierce and getting more so each week. Your content can be a hero one week and a zero the next. That's just the nature of Stock. Don't try to overthink it.

Q: What do mallets, brush swatches and beetles have in common?
A: They appear in Adobe Stock search results: https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=mallet
Mallets are sometimes referred to as beetles, so that explains the bug connection.
An AI shape-recognition algorithm likely sees the same shape in brush strokes and mallets. Probably the same failure-prone AI that Stock is using to weed out "similar content."
The more we lean on AI, I fear this is the quality of results we can expect. Wake me when it's over.

If you're absolutely certain that you or a family member didn't subscribe, contact your bank. They'll ask you to sign some legal papers to file a fraud report & launch an investigation with local law enforcement. They may also close your account to future charges and issue you a new payment card.
Hope that helps.
