Thanks again, everybody... to hairlesssupportmonkey- my windows disks are not OEM versions, they are the full, unencumbered install disks so I won't have any troubles with that. You seem much more positive on win 7 than me or many others I've spoken to. Thing is, I only am interested in having...

Thanks to goombawaho, Rclarke250 and to vacunita for your fast replies...You guys (I may sound sexist, but I assume you're male) pretty much confirmed what I thought; that there may be some issues in the future with device drivers, especially for newer ones, but there is no inherent reason why...

I once ran into something related...I have had several issues with firewire in the past...the first was erroneously plugging in a 6 pin-to-4-pin cable backwards (on the 6-pin end) with the 4-pin end already plugged into a Digital 8 video camera...the power from the 6-pin port apparently "fried"...

Hi, My computer is really starting to show it's age and needs to be replaced with something more up to modern specs. I have done this a few times before so I know my way around the process. I have identified a few good choices of mainboard/CPU combos and I was all set to start ordering...

Adobe Acrobat 7 also has the "recognize as text" function, which can be done after a scan of a document into a .tiff (or other image file). It does a reasonably good job but certainly is not perfect. Scanner software with OCR is also a mixed bag but I have pretty good luck with my Microtek 6000...

I have a multi-page document (actually a scan of the individual pages of a magazine). Some of the pages were scanned directly to PDF, using the OCR function of my scanning software, and some were scanned as .jpg or .bmp and then "converted" to PDF in a second step-using Acrobat 7 Pro. The reason...

jmgalvin Thanks for your reply...I have seen your name a lot in the adobe acrobat forum so you must be very knowledgeable about this program. I have not checked the print size in photoshop (I only have the photoshop elements program, not the full-fledged photoshop and I actually prefer using...

Here's a tough one- I've been searching for an answer for this on Google and everywhere I can think of (including Adobe's site) and I can't find an answer. Here's the problem: I scan a 2 page magazine layout on a standard flatbed scanner, using 3 scans so I can "stitch" the 3 images into the...

The update takers Drive Image from 7.0 to 7.03 and it is a large patch/update (52 MB or so I think). I think you were right the first time- they were stupid enough to think everybody will install to C drive. I have decided this is a good time to upgrade to Acronis TrueImage and dump Symantec...

Wondering if any others have encountered this little annoyance. I have an activated acrobat 7 pro on my computer that has been updated twice by Adobe (to 7.02). I recently had to re-install MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook only)and shortly thereafter I started getting messages in Acrobat stating...

I have read much of this thread and I can make a suggestion that I think would help. If you are looking for an application that is inexpensive and will do what I think you are trying to do. And, best of all, it doesn't put any more $$ in Adobes coffers. The program is called PDFill and will...

wcburton Thanks for your reply and suggestions. I had drive image installed, at one time on the C drive but that was a long time ago and it was a different physical disk drive and several re-loads ago. I already have the default location for new program installs set to D drive (from a reg tweak...

To Franklin97355 If this product were still being supported by PowerQuest I would have contacted them without hesitation. Since it has been acquired by Symantec, I can't imagine a bigger exercise in futility. I use both Drive Image and Partition Magic. PowerQuest was always very responsive...

Hi, I set up my system to separate the operating system from the majority of my programs and documents based upon some written material I read that made a great case for it. My set up is thus: Master Drive C-Drive partitioned as primary active-contains Win XP and a limited set of...

HenryAnthony- Bloat the database is an understatement, it was like a database genetic experiment gone wrong. I have a pair of books on the office suite (one is for 1997 and the other 2000) but neither does an adequate job explaining Access. So if you could recommend one I'd sure appreciate...
