Emailing a pdf keeps asking for Windows...

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional on a Vista 64 bit machine and have always emailed pdf's using the ''Attach to email'' function or the toolbar icon. Thunderbird is my default email client.?In the last week or so, everytime I try this I'm presented with the ''Windows Mail is not your default.....'' message and it tries to set up Windows Mail.?I have checked that Thunderbird is still my system default and I cannot find any place in Acrobat to specify an email client.

Does anyone know if there has been either a Windows or Adobe update that could have caused this??Or how I might fix it??Thanks.

Emailing a pdf keeps asking for Windows...

Acrobat uses whatever is the default MAPI client. Apparently Windows is trying to take over. You may need to check with Thunderbird to be sure it is active as the MAPI mail client (sorry, I am not how to check with Thunderbird).

Yes, I have checked all that.?Thunderbird shows as my default both in the Control Panel and in Thunderbird itself.

Thanks, Bill, I finally found it.?I guess a recent Windows update changed the default in the registry even though Thunderbird showed itself as the default. That really is rotten!

Hi Cathy, what was the registry entry you found to fix this?

There was no text in your response. ?

Well, thats odd...here is the text:

I didn't edit the registry, that's just where I saw the entry.?The way I finally fixed it is this:
1. Go to Control Panel (classic view)/Internet Options/Programs Tab and select ''Set Programs''.
2. Select the last option ''Set Program access and computer defaults''
3. Click the double-arrow drop down and go to ''Choose Default Email Program''
4. UNCLICK ''Windows Mail'' even if Thunderbird is selected as the default and be sure Thunderbird's access is enabled.

I had to do this on 3 different computers after a Window update...it infuriated me and I have never been a Microsoft ''basher'' before but this is just unacceptable!?Good luck!

Thanks, I've tried that but no luck.

I'm not sure that it's Microsoft's fault - on searching around it seems there is a bug with Thunderbird's MAPI support.

xdp file location:

Hi,

I created a form.xdp using LiveCycle ES in Enterprise suite. I'm surprised that I could not able to find the form in the server. Where is the exact location the form gets stored? I guessed it might be saved as a data record in MYSQL database. if so, in which table this record gets stored?

One more question: When I'm using .net integration with LiveCycle ES, in the code it is asking for repository location. Do we have to setup any repository in the syste? Or do we have a default repository? Can you gimme a glimpse of this repository funda like how we create it...or from where can we access it?

Thanks in advance

xdp file location:

You're probably using Workbench, i would suggest you to post in the Workbench forum.

I believe workbench saves all resources (xdp, pdf, images, fragments, custom components and so on) on a resource DB that allows for colaborive work, instead of a physical file, but to be honest i have no idea here in with tables it is stored and how you can retrieve it manually.

If you're using Designer then the xdp file is in your local machine (the machine from here Desinger was launched)

Accessing parent variables in...

I thought I knew how to do this, but maybe someone might be able to see why this is not working...

here's what I have (simplified to only show necessary code):

Main Timeline:

var currentItem:String = 'applesauce';

(then some code to load an external swf)

External swf main timeline:

trace(currentItem);

it returns ''undefiend''

i have tried

trace(MovieClip(root).currentItem);

trace(MovieClip(this.parent).currentItem);

each time undefined, any ideas?

Accessing parent variables in...

movieClip(parent.parent)

supposedly ... didn't work for me ... but it was explained the 1st parent reference is the loader .. the second the maintimeline ..

if your loading it into a MC .. add an additional parent ref ..

Setup Error?

I need help. I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 Proffesional, and exracted the files. Then I loaded up the setup.

After checked the ''System Profile'', one of two errors would come up.

1. If I had Internet Explorer open, it told me to close that and Adobe Updater, which I didn't have open.

2. If I had nothing open, it just said something about a setup error and told me to contact customer support.

Any suggestions as to why this is going wrong?

I thought I understood this stuff ..

we'll at least AS 2.0 ..

got a clip ... loads a child .. runs AS in frame 1 of child ... then child unloads ...

here's my problem ... when the child unloads the code in frame 1 of the child is re run ....

I know it's something stupid ...

Whenever I create a .pdf the text appears vertically instead of horizontally, as it does in this screen shot. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

How are you creating the PDF and what product and version are you using?

Just using that, file in question is a .doc

It's something to do with the Create PDF Online service and not Reader.

You'll want to ask in the proper forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/create_pdf_online.

Good luck.

Print Orientation and Rotated Pages

Adobe Reader 8 and 9 have lost a feature that Adobe Reader 7 performs--I am hoping that someone can tell me I am wrong, though.

In AR7, if I print a 14'' page on 11'' paper then print at actual size, I get the top 11'' of the page. If instead I rotate the page 180 degrees and print I get the bottom 11'' of the page. With AR8 and AR9, rotated or not I get the top 11'' of the page.

Searching the forum I saw one post mention that one needs to rotate the page rather than the view but I find no way to this in AR9; I suspect the writer was talking about Acrobat or other tool.

Is there a way to do this just with the Reader?

Print Orientation and Rotated Pages

Rotate page is an Acrobat not Reader feature.

Print Orientation and Rotated Pages

As I suspected, but that is not really my question. Is there a way to do what I described with just the Reader? If not, I guess I will have to stick with Reader version 7...
