Adobe solutions

So, what are the viable alternatives to Adobe software? Can you name a few products that could replace Photo Shop, Dreamweaver, InDesign, Acrobat Pro, etc. ? If so, please list the alternative software and the Adobe software, he would replace. In addition, please describe your experience with the software in question.

I am a single owner of CS5 made the design of websites and cannot afford to throw away $50 at Adobe every month. An upgrade to CS6 is $ 750 for me. It may be time to just replace adobe completely. $750 buy only 15 months of membership for which I would pay for many applications that I did not and would not use. I do not improve my Creative Suite every year while the subscription would certainly cost me more. Then there are the reports of the CC is slow slow. No no not a 'photographer', there is no option of economic Adobe or effective for me.

Adobe hosts these forums for support of its software. There are a variety of forums, blogs and social media sites that have general discussions of graphics software. I suggest doing a Google search and you can find them.

I'll lock this discussion because it is not relevant to this forum.

  • Menu "Edit in Photoshop" Lightroom is gray - Adobe solution does not work.

    I have a problem with not being able to edit in PS directly from LR, because the Photoshop options in the menu lists "change in" are grayed out. I have other software installation (e.g., Macphun) and those are all listed and behave normally in LR.

    I have run that the latest versions of LR and PS through CC and all are updated. They move on a Macbook Pro I've had for 2 years and OS 10.11.5. I have not installed other software recently.

    I have not moved any of my files, which are mostly dng conversions (NEX7) Sony raw files and some old cr2s Canon. They are original, that is to say, not overviews etc.. The greyed out behavior occurs with all types of files I have in LR (including JPEG files).

    PS options are grayed out if PS is running or not.

    I followed all the steps Adobe ("Edit in Photoshop" missing order), UN and re installed both programs, all to nothing done.

    I have reset the preferences in LR and Psalm

    And, finally, I just this minute and re installed PS United Nations (just to double double check) and who did not make a difference.

    I tried to find solutions and read through these forums so apologies if I'm missing something blinding (which wouldn't surprise my wife in the slightest).

    Any suggestions about how to fix it are welcome.

    FYI - this has been resolved by installing Mac OS Sierra.  I already deleted all the files Adobe and records (including the hidden), installed the OS, then CC, Ps, then Lr.  Works as it should now

Tried the solution tied once more and managed to launch Illustrator on the first run after install in safe mode, but it is broken as soon as I signed it in the CC system, still in safe mode.

  • 3D black shapes, too dark (Adobe solution does not work)

    I encounter the problem in CS6 described here:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop/KB/3D-shapes-black-or-dark.html

    However, empty the file provided by Adobe as a solution is a text file. Is this a mistake? I followed the instructions but it did not fix the problem. I guess the provided text file must contain data.

    P.S. Make sure you keep everything right your 32 vs 64-bit installation of areas and close and then restart Photoshop after you save the file.

  • Professional features Adobe Acrobat

    I plan to purchase Adobe Professional but want to ensure's a particular function, that I need.

    My plan is to have a simple web site to control the distribution of documents printed in pdf format.  What I want is to control the lifetime of downloaded files so that they cannot be printable for ever.  I was hoping that a simple set up in adobe professinal would a timer lock file 24 hours after download.  Is this possible?

    You can Google Digital Rights Management and come up with a few other options (which I can personally attest), but Adobe solution offering. See http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/resources/drm/

    One thing to keep in mind, when Adobe don't give you a price on the right as well as the advertising of the products, you can be pretty sure that the price to pay will be not in the price range affordable enough that anything short of a Fortune 500 company.

  • Digital Enterprise platforms Document Services - Designer 10.0 Adobe

    I need LiveCycle reader extension right.

    Can I get this service of

    "Platforms to enterprise digital adobe Document Services - Designer 10.0.

    There are a few questions in the thread, so I have them will address separately:

    • What rights do you need?  Is most likely the external data (SOAP, database) or externdal of the data objects?  Just curious and check as a requirement. Note that there are twelve different rights, and it would be useful to ensure that you really do need that the rights on server.
    • You can get access to the rights server in two ways.  Install a server trial LiveCycle/ADEP yourself: it takes just a XP or Win7 machine with 4 GB of memory. Or you can contact a local Adobe Solution Consultant and have hime drive - extend the form with the required rights.
    • I have a product manager to come back with the question of price.  It might help to know what country and region, in that you and your vertical area. And a large part of the issue price will be around if you need only drive expansion capability or if you plan to integrate the document and workflow of web content management or treatment.
  • HP envy 4500 print problems and windows 8.1

    I had some problems printing with my desire to hp 4500. I recently bought this for use with my laptop, which runs windows 8.1. I tried to print wireless with mixed success. I can't print anything product of microsoft office, firefox, etc. I can't print a PDF file or the other - with a catch. If I print the document first with adobe printer, save the document, and then print with the printer of the desire, it will work (for a few pages at least). This happens even if the original document is a pdf file. When I try to print from word, for example, I get a message saying that "your file could not be printed due to an error on HP ENVY 4500 series (network) on. There are several possible reasons...  The scanner works fine with the software provided. Through software troubleshooting, I can print a test page for the hp software, but not the windows printing software (makes me think that this may be a sort of permissions problem that I can't understand). I went through the program of doctor hp, and he says that there is an update of the software. I try to update the software, and I get a message - the printer could not be installed on the network. I'm a bit confused. So - to answer the stupid questions typical-Yes, the printer and the laptop to have the power, Yes, wireless is enabled, Yes, my router works and my printer is connected to it (I can print eoffers/coupons directly from the printer), my diagnostic report is as follows wireless on-pass, wireless working-pass, signal quality-excellent. Connected-pass. unplug the total-7 count, count from last time-1, count last 24 hours - 1. neck of network name (ssid), other corresponding networks ssid-no, the printer settings comply with the router settings without thread-pass, no-pass, Channel-6 filtering, access badge. When I try to print any other documents wthout the adobe solution, I have that is getting the error message that I said previously, or the computer will go through the motions of printing but I never end up having all documents added to the queue. Any suggestions?

    Hello. Thanks again for your help. I found how to solve my problem. I know now that it had nothing to do with the printer or its software. Something was wrong with my registry or files of certain parameters that I couldn't identify myself, that I tried to plug the two this printer in my lapotop via a usb port and installation (with the same problem). The same problem happened when I connected usb printer older that I know works (hp 3050 has-for printing at least) and still had the problem. I just did a windows update and had to reinstall everything. Now, I can print and scan wireless without problem. I would like to have a more simple solution. Maybe the idea of my friend to install a registry cleaner from the beginning was a bad idea. You live and learn, I guess.

  • Error 117. Really? We are still fighting this battle?

    Ok. I still get error 117. (OSX Sierra)  I finally got (via the live chat - which is awesome btw) most of the CC apps I need is installed. However, I can't update SOUL or Illustrator. Now I have to pay a small fortune each month and can not get updates. Reason? Would have been something wrong with my ISP. Now, it's absurd to first order. How can it be that some applications install (LR, Acrobat) and others do not. I tried the workaround fixes posted in the carousel error 117 round linking and cross-linking, but they do not work.

    Adobe solution is to try another service provider - but how do you know if it will work? They suggest to use mobile data - but I suspect that they have no idea of the cost of moving date in South Africa - to download the updates on mobile would cost more a month subscription 2 to CC.

    Come on, Adobe. It's not MY problem, that's YOUR problem. Difficulty CC, or make files to upgrade available for direct download. Surely it wouldn't be too ask?

    Mike

    So I seem to have overcome that problem-, but the solution is not ideal. If I use my mobile wifi dongle I can start the download, updates - then once get to 3-4% of plug in the ethernet cable again, disable wifi and that is - the end of the download via a wired connection.

    Do not this hard Adobe.

  • Extract information from signature in VBA to a PDF file

    Hi all

    I need to extract information from signatures of PDF files in VBA (mainly the name of the signer and the date of signature. PDF files have several signatures inside them).

    So I have a few questions:

    -Are there an example somewhere to do such a thing?

    -I need Acrobat Pro for this? This is an important point because the code is supposed to be run on machines where ONLY Acrobat Reader is installed.

    -If the above is not possible, do you know a command line utility that would do the thing (and I could run from my VB code)

    Thank you for your help

    Emphyrio

    As already mentioned, you will need Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro VB/JS bridge. If you want to make this work with just the free reader, you are limited to what you can do in JavaScript environment. Basically, this means that you must open the file in the player and then for example use a menu item to trigger functions to get information about signatures in your file. For example, this information may appear on a dialog box, and you would be able to copy & paste from this dialog (which means no VBA integration at all).

    Of course, you can use either Adobe PDF Library (licensed through Datalogics), or other 3rd party PDF frameworks/libraries. It's a site run by Adobe, you will understand that we cannot give you advice regarding 3rd party solutions that compete with the own Adobe solution.

  • How to display '-1' with a table not formatted (Excel spreadsheet) in InDesign

    Hello!

    If you place a table not formatted (Excel spreadsheet) in the cells of InDesign with '-1' are not displayed :-(

    The Adobe solution is to use the tables formatted, but that is no option for us, because if the numbers in the excel worksheet updated, InDesign loses real formatting and rebuilt the Excel formatting :/

    The problem is understandable for Adobe, but we didn't have the suspicion to ask in the forum for a solution.

    I think the problem is the operating system and independent version of InDesign - we everywhere (Windows 7,8,10) and Mac OS X, CS6 CC problem - there is a bug/feature in constand.

    Does anyone have a solution or a solution to our problem? :-)

    Thank you in advance!

    Ludwig

    In Excel, you must precede the - 1 with an apostrophe (so '-1). As you probably know, this is unnecessary with other negative numbers... If I remember correctly.

    It is not sufficient for formatting just these cells as text in Excel, the apostrophe is necessary.

  • Serial number for CS5.5 not accepted. Need of 24 digits. I have DWD + 18 digits. [was: stay honest]

    So, after buying Dreamweaver CS 5.5 in 2007, I needed to upgrade a Macbook 2008 Pro

    Apparently, after 30 minutes, a phone call from 20-minute chat session and another cat for 40 min with Anne online.

    Adobe solution is for me re buy the software, not yet upgraded?

    Within 5 minutes, I could find a cracked version (but I won't)

    How to run a business...

    FYI, during the download, I was wondering, if it works, how can I get my previous work to open? Maybe I could recover my site and download anything. Then all was silent.

    Yes, if you are able to download your software from a server, you can do so after installing the application.

    If you try to recover your files from a server, you can use any FTP such as Filezilla application. You don't need Dreamweaver to do. As others have suggested on the forum, you can use parentheses to change your files after downloading the.

    This is what I've deducted from your question and am sorry if I am wrong in my observation.

  • 3D - PDF export to STEP

    Acrobat 9 Pro Extended allows the export of neutral geometry, IGES, STEP and STL formats. Since this flavor of Acrobat is abandoned, there's another available by Adobe solution for this? It seems that this capacity is no longer available. It seems that Acrobat Pro DC doesn't have this ability. Solutions or suggestions for me please. Thank you.

    Hello Pietern, Jordan of Tech Soft 3D here. When Adobe moved to Acrobat 9 Pro Pro x, PDF 3D technology that has been integrated into the software was acquired by us, Tech Soft 3D. Tetra4D is the product range of end-user for the PDF technology 3D as a plugin for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and Pro DC. In addition to reading more 20 native CAD formats, you can also export a handful of neutral formats, including those listed above.
