By Robert Rundle
2018 2nd Edition Revised. 144p. & 1st Edition. 250p. Bound in 1 Volume. This is the complete set of Magic Words Thru the Zodiac, Volume 1 & 2 together. These books provide the Keys to cracking the secret code W. D. Gann used to secretly concealed his greatest secrets within his works. It unveils a Masonic Gematria cypher which serves to decrypt references and clues concealed in names, dates and other key words thru the text. These letter/numerical conversions are used to determine potential anchor points for engineering of important underlying market cycles. Gann carefully hid within these cycles particularly within his most mysterious books, The Tunnel Thru the Air and The Magic Word. Many believe that Gann's greatest secrets were veiled only within these abstract metaphysical books, which can only be decoded thru the complex unravelling of this secret code, leading to the technical mapping of Gann's underlying astronomical cyclical model of market activity. These book goes further in presenting the secret Key to Gann's cryptographic methodology than has ever been revealed before.

|The Sign & The Seal: The Quest For the Lost Arc of the Covenant.
Graham Hancock.
1993. 608p. The fact of the Lost Ark of the Covenant is one of the grant historical mysteries of all time. To believers, the Ark is the legendary vessel holding the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Bible contains hundreds of references to the Ark's power to level mountains, destroy armies, and lay waste to cities. The Ark itself, however, mysteriously disappears from recorded history sometime after the building of the Temple of Solomon. After ten years of searching through the dusty archives of Europe and the Middle East, as well as braving the real-life dangers of a bloody civil war in Ethiopia, Graham Hancock has succeeded where scores of others have failed. This intrepid journalist has tracked down the true story behind the myths and legends -- revealing where the Ark is today, how it got there, and why it remains hidden. Built at the foot of Mount Sinai, Hancock tells us, it ``was deposited [around 955 B.C.] by Solomon in the Holy of Holies of the First Temple.'' Later, Hancock says, it was stolen by Solomon's outcast son and carried south to Ethiopia and kept there for 800 years by a Judaic cult. Then it apparently was seized by the Knights Templar, who thought that it was the Holy Grail. The Knights converted the Jews, who kept the Ark in a great church. And to protect the Ark, all of the churches in the cult have their own replicas of the Ark: The original is never seen, even on the holiest days of the year. Part fascinating scholarship and part entertaining adventure yarn, tying together some of the most intriguing tales of all time -- from the Knights Templar and Prester John to Parsival and the Holy Grail -- this book will appeal to anyone fascinated by the revelation of hidden truths, the discovery of secret mysteries.

Clippers owners Donald Sterling has allegedly told his multiracial girlfriend he doesn't want her to bring black people, including NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, to his games.
The argument appears to be centered around photos his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, posted to her Instagram feed. Hear the recording, posted by TMZ Sports, above.
In the nearly 10-minute heated exchange, Sterling tells his girlfriend, who identifies herself as a "mix," that he wants her to love black people privately and not post photos of herself with minorities.
He told her that she's "supposed to be a delicate white or a delicate Latina girl" and taking photos with minorities is like "talking to an enemy."
He added, "Why bring it to my games?" around 4:05 and later in the argument specifically says he doesn't want Magic Johnson to come to one of his games.
In her rebuttal, she said "I'm sorry that you still have people around you that are full of racism and hate in their heart. I'm sorry that you're still racist in your heart."
V. Stiviano's Instagram feed is currently set to private.

More than a moment: Get some perspective on school testing
By Scott Murphy
Guest Commentary
Sometimes we are simply woeful. We all have our days. Business professionals, Olympians, teachers and kids, you and me.
Consider the Denver Broncos just a few weeks ago. In a moment that called for their best game, they played their worst. For any viewer who had not watched the Broncos all season, he would infer that this team was untalented, unskilled, poorly coached and simply unworthy. Only one conclusion could be drawn from that Sunday debacle: This team was bad.
But I had watched the Broncos all year and had checked the stats. This team was good, really good. This team had one of the greatest offensive seasons in the history of the game and has players that will one day be in the Hall of Fame.
For students, teachers and schools, our state tests are coming soon and we'll have our opportunity to show our best or possibly our worst. We've learned again and again and (thank you, Broncos) again, that talent, skill, preparation and excellent coaching are not guarantees of seeing success, especially if one looks only through a narrow lens. The monocular view limits our understanding of a complete and more compelling picture. It negates many great days in lieu of possibly one of "those" days.

Comment on Pleasing God by pleasing devotees by Kalpana Kulkarni.
Our only hope to get the Lord's mercy is through the devotees. So it is our duty to please them by serving them.
Kalpana Kulkarni Also Commented
Pleasing God by pleasing devotees
We may not have the qualification to please God, but we can endeavour to please the devotees of the Lord who may be pleased and in turn please the Lord. Very hope giving that we may someday obtain the mercy of the Lord through his devotees.

Going beyond superficial rituals and shallow religion
Amazing article! Gives us insight about rituals and how we should understand the meaning behind these rituals which ultimately help us in purifying our consciousness.
Fear of commitment to a spiritual path
Being committed to a particular spiritual path yet being able to appreciate other paths and religious leaders is a hallmark of a great devotee.
God – the greatest or the sweetest?
God is both great and sweet and his pastimes illustrate both these aspects!
Embracing hope during crisis
In our times of crisis, it is only hope and surrender that can save us!
Appreciating all religions
The hallmark of all great souls is to appreciate all religions and realize that the essence of all religions is the same.

Usually all of us pray for material things like wealth, good job, nice spouse, etc and we also make deals saying that if we get what we ask for, then we will donate coconuts or feed brahmins, etc. But that is not what we should pray for. We should pray out of love and a sense of gratitude. We should pray for his love and blessings.View Comment

Cooler Master Announces N Series Mid-tower Cases
Cooler Master Announces N Series Mid-tower Cases
Cooler Master introduces a new series of compact mainstream cases, the N series.
Designed with cooling performance - especially liquid cooling - in mind, the N300 and N500 cases feature full mesh front panels and vents all over to allow air to easily stream through the case. The N300 supports up to 8 fans, including a 120mm vent on the all important side panel to keep high-end VGAs fed with fresh air, and support for two 120mm fans or one 240mm radiator on top of the case, while the N500 supports up to 9 fans, with a second 120mm slot to the side panel, and extends to top mounted vents to dual 140mm vents, including support for 240mm radiators.
Both equipped with Cooler Master SickleFlow fans for optimum airflow and silence, the sleeve bearing offers a longer life lifespan of 50,000 hours. Despite their compact designs, the casings can still accommodate extra long graphics cards, several ODDs, HDDs, and SSDs, and yet still have sufficient room to route and hide cables. The N300 supports up to 320mm long VGAs and has a maximum capacity of 2 ODDs, 8 HDDs and an additional SSD slot, while the N500 can support 3 ODDs, thanks to its height. It makes away with half the HDD slots to provide a direct stream of fresh air from the front panel to the VGAs. This also allows it supports over 400mm long VGAs and makes room for a dedicated tool-less SSD cage for 3 SSDs.
The N300 and N500 are available in 4 configurations – with or without a windowed side panel, and with two USB 3.0 ports (N2 edition) or with a single USB 3.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports (N1 edition).

a bonte games flashback: free the bird
So let's have a look at free the bird this time, which was released in August 2006 as an entry for the first JayIsGames game design competition. The goal of the competition was to create a small puzzle in just a month time. I came up with a one screen puzzle featuring the notoriously squeaking parrot from the bonte room2 and a cuckoo clock and the obvious task to give the bird back its freedom. Let's continue with the walkthrough, so you'll definitely have to stop reading here if you haven't played the game before and don't want me to spoil your fun. Squeak!
So here it is: everything you always wanted to know about free the bird, but were afraid to ask: as you click around a bit you'll find out that the only thing you really can play around with is the time of the cuckoo clock with the strings at the bottom: two to adjust the hour, two to adjust the minutes. The right handle of the clock doesn't seem to do anything (yet), the left one produces a cuckoo sound, but no cuckoo (yet) ... What time could we set on the clock? Well how about the actual time on your computer? So have a look in the right bottom of your computer screen and adjust the time of the cuckoo clock to the current time. Now try the left handle on the clock: there's the cuckoo! Move the right handle, try the left handle again: the cuckoo comes out in a different angle! Find the right handle position so the cuckoo will snap the wire attached to the cage. Now snap the wire a couple of times. Congratulations, you freed the bird :) Attention: when the system time changes during this process, you'll have to change the cuckoo time as well to make the cuckoo come out of the clock again.

At first I thought of setting the clock fingers to the same angles that the trees on the painting point to... that didn't do much good :)

It worked for me,I'm in KSA

Works perfect.. except... The sound does not work for me on the left switch as you said it would D:
- 30 December 2009 at 17:11
- Unknown said...
I eventually got this to work with the help of your walkthrough, but I never did get any sound, until the end. The music track at the end works, so it can't be that I've selected "no sound" on one of your other games and it's remembered. Which makes me think - any chance of putting in a visual option to replace sound cues?
Also, is the fall supposed to break the cage open without hurting the bird? <-- over-thinking it

well...great game u should make a sequal though and make more than 1 side of the room

It says "now try the left handle", but you're supposed to try the right.
- 24 September 2011 at 20:49
The painting is a real red herring. Being able to shake the painting made me think it was supposed to draw our attention.

Hi Bart,
"Thanks for pointing this out: there seems to be problem when the time is 12:XX It works fine for all other hours, I'll have to fix this bug and put up a new version!"
That's what you wrote about 3 years ago.
Well, the probelm still seems to be there...
Love your games though ;)
- 15 August 2012 at 12:12

but its a great game!

i still cant get the freaking annoying bird out!!! HELP!!!!!!!
- 2 November 2012 at 01:54
it worked for me
- 23 December 2012 at 17:10
The clock doesn't work if it's on 24hour format. I had to change it to 12hour format, but I didn't know how to do that, so I just changed the hour to something with just one digit, then changed it back when I finished the game :)
- 16 March 2013 at 16:55
- Bart said...
Guess what, I have just updated the game to solve the 12:xx problem, now that was about time :)
- 13 June 2014 at 11:12
Agh!! Cant free the bird...
- 22 September 2017 at 13:39
it is not the left handle but the right the handles do the opposite of what they are supposed to that is why it wont work some of the time

Jesse Richman fought back after placing third in the single elimination to facing Stefan Permien in the final. He faced Vincent Tiger in the semi-final, but Tiger had injured himself and could not compete at his best.
Jesse won the first final with some huge megaloops and solid front and back mobes. In the second final, the wind increased up to 50 knots and the riders were out on their 7's and getting BIG air and loads of power to perform their tricks. Permien and Richman both pushed themselves to their limits, with Permien landing some crazy unhooked tricks in these conditions!
The local support was at large today and many people had come down to enjoy the extreme freestyle!
Day 4 started early again at 07h00 with swells up to 1.5 meters and a strong wind of 40 knots. The race director decided to run the single Wave Master Elimination followed by the double if there was enough time in the day.
Most riders chose their 5 -7 meter kites and used the power well to get the most out of the waves. Abel Lago (SPA, RRD) lost early in the single elimination to Cameron Dietrich (HAW, CABRINHA), who went on to face Jesse Richman (HAW, CABRINHA) in the losers final. Mitu Monteiro (CV, F-ONE) showed his dominance in this discipline, performing some smooth bottom turns and strong cut backs to take the single elimination from fellow islander, Jan Marcos Riveras (DOM REP, STARKITES). Abel in the double, rode like a man possessed and slowly progressed his way through the rounds, meeting Mitu in the final. He took the first final with some powerful turns and energized riding, being the first to take a heat from Mitu this year in the Waves. Mitu rode very well in the second final with some intelligent Wave Riding, using the power of the kite as little as possible and pushing his board to the absolute limit, riding strapless.
A big mention needs to go out to Kari Schibevaag (NOR, OZONE) who is really starting to show how hard work can pay off. She defeated Kirsty Jones (UK, NORTH) in the single and double elimination final and will stand the first place podium in the Freestyle and Waves!
The day ended very late at 20h00, but was worth every minute to see the worlds best riders enjoy the strong conditions gifted to them today.

For Immediate Release – January 2, 2013
Congress Sidelines Specialty Crop Funding in Tax Legislation
Tax measure extends 2008 Farm Bill, but excludes key specialty crop programs
WASHINGTON, DC – The passage of a fiscal package late Tuesday evening excluded key specialty crop priorities. While the bill does avert the dreaded "fiscal cliff," efforts to roll a new five-year Farm Bill into the bill were rejected in favor of a nine month extension of the 2008 law. The extension does not include funding for certain expiring programs such as the Specialty Crop Research Initiative and Clean Plant Network.
"It's disappointing, to say the least," said Mike Stuart, Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association president and Alliance Co-Chair. "We had worked very hard with key members in the House and Senate to craft a Farm Bill that was fiscally responsible and gave producers resources, such as research funding for pest and disease programs, that they need to remain competitive and to ensure a safe, healthful supply of fruits and vegetables."
The tax package bill was passed by a vote of 89-8 in the Senate, and was approved in the House with a vote of 257-167.
The Farm Bill will need to be redrafted in the coming months and reconsidered by both chambers before the September 30, 2013 deadline. The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance will continue to communicate the importance of specialty crop programs to lawmakers on Capitol Hill as this process moves forward in the 113th Congress.
"While we are frustrated, we look forward to working with both committees and the dozens of members of Congress who helped complete the 2012 Farm Bill," said John Keeling, National Potato Council executive vice president and CEO, and Alliance Co-Chair. "As has been the case for more than a decade, we will be working to ensure that innovative investments for the 50 percent of American agriculture represented by specialty crops are fairly accounted for in the Farm Bill."
The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance is a national coalition of more than 120 organizations representing growers of fruits, vegetables, dried fruit, tree nuts, nursery plants and other products. The alliance was established to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crop agriculture and improve the health of Americans by broadening the scope of U.S. agricultural public policy.

Original Star Wars Poster Design by Tom Jung
The original Star Wars poster design by Tom Jung.
Alternate Versions--
"Style-B" One Sheet by Jung promoting the Empire Strikes Back in Hong Kong
His first breakthrough poster for "Papillon" (1971)
And some other notable works for films--
And an allegedly unpublished poster for Indian Jones that he did.
With over 30 years of being in the business of motion picture graphic artistry and illustration work, Tom Jung is the man who stands behind the famous Star Wars poster with Luke Skywalker thrusting his lightsaber to the sky against Darth Vader's countenance. Nick Cardy contributed some last minute touch-ups as well, adding in C-3PO and R2 into the work, though not as much credit is given to his addition.
This other well known poster done by Tim Hilderbrandt was a last minute alternate poster and was interpreted from Jung's original work, where the reasons as to why George Lucas chose to have Hilderbrandt come up with a poster remains up in the air with multiple stories proving why. Compare the two yourself below, with Hilderbrandt's first and Jung's second.

My latest title for the the online video tutorial company, Lynda.com, covers the newly-released Acrobat Pro "X" (meaning "10"). Be sure and pronounce it "ten" otherwise Adobe people are authorized to slap you.
Acrobat X Essential Training
I'm really rather happy with how it turned out; I was able to touch on all the areas I thought needed touching in an Acrobat Essentials title, including multimedia, forms, portfolios, redaction, shared reviews, OCR, digital signing, preflighting, and even a chapter on Reader X and Acrobat.com.
But learning the program well enough to record all the lessons I wanted to on it was an unexpected ordeal. I even had to stay a few extra days at Lynda.com's recording studio to finish it, a first for me. I didn't think it'd be so bad, since I've been using Acrobat since version 2, and wrote my first magazine feature article about it ("I Didn't Know Acrobat Could Do That") way back when version 4 came out. (One tip from that article showed how to convert a a pasted PICT image in a PageMaker file into an editable Illustrator graphic via Distiller. Also, how to rewind unspooled tape back into an 8-track.)
Look what they've done to my program, Ma
The main problem I kept running into was that Acrobat X's interface is so different than previous versions, I kept having to stop to figure out what happened to a feature that I assumed had to still be there, but wasn't … or perhaps it was, but I couldn't find it. Was it a Mac vs. Windows issue? (A number of features are only available in the Windows version.) Did Adobe move the feature's location in the interface? Or is it completely gone?
For example, if you're looking for the File > History list, the one that lists the PDFs you've opened today, over the last 7 days, over the last 14 days and so on … that's gone. Not in Acrobat X. So is File > History > Organizer, Acrobat's Bridge-like app devoted to the PDF format. Poof, gone. What's galling is that they didn't even try to replace that deleted feature with the logical replacement, a button or link to Adobe Bridge. I believe Bridge is made by the same company, at least that's the rumor. If you ask the Acrobat team, they'll tell you that their target market doesn't use Bridge, doesn't have Bridge, never heard of Bridge. Their target market uses Microsoft Office. Their target market in their dreams, I guess. (grumble. Why do I feel like an ex-wife?)
I actually do love the new interface in Acrobat X, the elegant panels on the right that silently expand and contract like a jQuery menu, and no more googly Disney-esque icons in the toolbar. The new interface doesn't just look good, it makes my work easier. The new Tools panel, for example, gathers all (almost all) of the scattered functions found in previous versions of Acrobat into one single panel with subpanels.
Note that by default, not all the Tools subpanels are visible. In other words, don't have a heart attack, the Print Production tools are still in Acrobat, even if you don't' see the subpanel at first. By default, Acrobat X hides some subpanels, similar to how the Creative Suite programs install with a workspace that shows just a subset of panels in the panel dock. To access any of the hidden Acrobat X subpanels, choose them from the itty-bitty menu icon directly below the Tools | Comment | Share header.
Now … can you save the arrangement of opened and closed subpanels as a workspace? Can you save the tools you've added to the QuickTools toolbar? Let me ask you this: Can you save a workspace in Word? Because if you can't (you can't), then why would you ever want to in Acrobat? Silly boy. It is to laugh. Who needs workspaces when you have … um. Uh. Erm. Oh, look, there's a pretty birdie in the sky!
A few common Acrobat features ended up in weird places. Don't bother looking for the Compare Documents command in any of the Tools subpanels (the Content subpanel would make sense), it's actually in the View menu. And, if you want to run the PDF Optimizer (with the handy Audit Space Usage button), you'll find that in the File > Save As fly-out menu (choose Optimized PDF).
A couple bad decisions from the past are still intact, such as keeping the oft-overlooked Reflow command in the View > Zoom fly-out menu. Viewing a PDF in Reflow mode has nothing to do with changing the Zoom percentage, but what the heck. Think of Reflow as the foreign exchange student bunking in the den of the Zoom household.
Goodbye, old friends; hello, workarounds
Things I miss: I miss being able to quickly attach the current email to a PDF by choosing File > Attach to Email. In Acrobat X, you go to the Share panel to find the command, but my Share panel always takes a few seconds too long to appear — just enough to be irritating — because it's checking that I'm logged in with my Acrobat.com account, in case I want to use their SendNow service.
I miss choosing File > Save As and actually have the program saving the thing as! You know what happens when you choose File > Save As in Acrobat X? Nothing. You stare at the computer a second wondering "why didn't that work?" until you remember that in version X, you have to highlight File > Save As, keep the mouse button down so the Save As fly-out menu appears, drag to the right to select the first item, "PDF," and *then* let go of the mouse. Fun times! My doctor noted my blood pressure and recommended I use the Save As keyboard shortcut instead (Command-Shift-S/Ctrl-Shift-S).
I miss being able to choose File > Create PDF > From Blank Page to quickly create a one-page PDF document without needing to run any other program or export or convert any other file, period. It's so handy to conjure up a cover sheet or test a copy/paste operation or do all sorts of miscellaneous Acrobat things that don't call for anything more than a blank page with some typing on it.
Now, if you want to *insert* a blank page into an existing PDF, no problem. You'll find the Insert a Blank Page command in the Tools panel. Look in the Pages subpanel and choose it from the Insert Pages > More Insert Options menu. Even better, if you choose this command with no PDFs open, guess what? You fool Mother Nature, and create a new, standalone, blank PDF document.
The problem on the Mac side is that you can't get to the Tools panel unless you have a PDF open. Catch 22. So the uber secret for Mac users is to close all PDFs and then press the Insert a Blank Page keyboard shortcut: Command-Shift-Q. (Are you thinking, hmmm, isn't that the Mac OS X command to quit all applications and log out? Yes it is, dear. If any program other than Acrobat X is the active app. Keeps you on your toes, what! Jolly good.)
Upgrading to Acrobat X
The upgrade fee to go from from Acrobat Pro v7, 8, or 9 to Acrobat Pro X is $199. That's if you have a standalone copy of Acrobat Pro, though — that is, if you bought it separately from the Creative Suite as a single product.
If you've got Acrobat 7, 8, or 9 because it came with the Creative Suite …like, virtually anyone I've ever met … here's how to upgrade it to Acrobat X:
1. Wait for the next version of the Creative Suite.
2. When it comes out, pay for the Suite upgrade.
3. The end.
(If you can't wait and really want Acrobat X now, you can always buy it as a standalone product for $449US. I see that Amazon has it for $409 and change.)
I'd say that's rantworthy, wouldn't you? Hey, at least it's egalitarian; both Mac and Windows Creative Suite users are in the same boat. (Except … there is *still* no trial download of Acrobat Pro X for Mac users. Just Windows users. grrrr.)
The problem is that the Creative Suite and Acrobat are on two different development schedules. In the past, Adobe threw Creative Suite users a bone. To wit: When CS3 came out, it shipped with Acrobat 8, and when Acrobat 9 came out a few months later, Adobe offered a "CS3.3" interim upgrade, aka a "dot release," to its CS customers almost immediately. For about $200 (as I recall) you got the new Acrobat and also a copy of Adobe Fireworks. As a CS3.3 owner, it was also slightly less of a cost to upgrade to CS4 when it was released (compared to CS3.0 users).
According to the Adobe Acrobat X Pro FAQ (http://j.mp/axprofaq), Acrobat X will be in the next dot release of the Creative Suite .. CS5.X … but they haven't made any announcement when that release might occur. And when they make an announcement, it's usually another few weeks before the product is actually shipping.
However you go about it, when you do get your hands on Acrobat Pro X, I'd love to hear what you think.
This is nearly criminal;
"For example, if you're looking for the File > History list, the one that lists the PDFs you've opened today, over the last 7 days, over the last 14 days and so on … that's gone. Not in Acrobat X. So is File > History > Organizer, Acrobat's Bridge-like app devoted to the PDF format. Poof, gone."
I must use that feature 20 times a day. Especially when I am doing support calls, training - I can quickly re-open a PDF and show my customer something.
This is horrible news.

Well, there's still a File > Open Recent flyout menu, that lists up to 10 recent PDFs. It starts with only 5, I think, but you can increase it to a whopping 10 in Preferences > Documents.
Rick Borstein, an friend of mine and a long-time Adobe staffer/manager (who pens the excellent Acrobat for Legal Professionals blog at http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/) read the above article and replied via email about this particular point:
"You and Clint Funk [AM's note: another long-time friend and Creative Suite guru who was snapped up by Adobe last month] are the only folks who have bemoaned the loss of the Organizer. It was sorta OK, but on both Mac and Windows you can get to your recent files really easily.
"One note: Acrobat 9 included our product improvement program and we had 100's of thousands of customers take part. So, essentially, we know how people use the product. One of the least used features—the Organizer."
Rick is referring to (I assume) the Recent Files list that both Windows and the Mac keep up. And on the Mac I think you can increase the limit to 20. Of course, it can't filter to just the 20 most recent PDFs you've opened, it's just the 20 most recent files, period.
BTW I'm not sure why the comments are appearing in reverse chrono order. Working on it.
You can ask the Acrobat X product managers your own questions via their blog:
They're going to do a series of "Twitterviews" (interviews via Twitter) answering user's questions. You can ask live on Twitter during the interviews, or beforehand by posting your question on their blog.
They say that they're going to select random winners from the questions and those users get their own copy of Acrobat X, which is a $450 value.
OH I am so tempted to ask question after question! LOL. Please. You all ask for me.
Has there always been a print limit of 999??? (I skipped 9) I have to print thousands of PDFs which means I have to print them in batches of 999 copies. How annoying.
Sorry, don't know about the limit of pages or if it's a new thing. Are you on a Mac or PC? Perhaps it's an OS issue?
Also gone. In the print menu the drop down list of printers are in reverse alphabetical order (except the default is listed 1st). Really annnoying. I have a lot of available printers and have named the 3 I use the most to be at the top of list. They used to be in 8. I skipped 9.
I'm annoyed by the inability to print to Adobe PDF printer. I used this feature as a way to reduce large file PDFs to a much more manageable/emailable size. The Adobe PDF Printer is no longer listed in the Printer drop down menu.
Agreed… the removal of the organizer is nothing short of tragic. I admire the way they've been able to de-clutter other areas of the app but this was such a nice feature.
What's criminal is the quality of the portfolio layouts that come with X. They are crap and have destroyed my paperless office
Thank you so much for helping me find the print production tools.
Yikes. Please bring back the organizer! I open scores of PDFs every day and the PDFs I use ALL the time are not usually among my most recent 10. And they live all over the server, not in some central location. So now I think I have to create a brand new workaround using aliases and the clunky the "open with" dropdown from context menu flyouts just to open my most frequently used pdfs in the right application.
Adobe used to save me time and energy.
They got rid of the dedicated printer for the drop-down menu option. see the link… http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-l…
Can someone tell me if I can upgrade from Acrobat 7 Pro to Acrobat 10 Standard? The Acrobat 0 Standard is what I neeed now, not 10 Pro
I'm using acrobat x in windows and I can't find the pdf optimizer in the save as fly-out menu, it just isn't there. Any ideas of what settings I need to change etc.? Would really appreciate it.
I just loaded Acrobat X Pro and now after I scan a document and extract some pages, it takes almost 4 minutes to save the page - 300 dpi, black/white, no OCR.
Anyone suggest what setting I have to use? This makes the program unusable for me and I'll go back to 8.
also, how do you turn off the splash page that shows the old files used and what do do - I just want to create PDF from scanner. This I can live with, even though I have to go to custom scan each time.
I want to move the toolbars!
If you can move these around, I haven't figured out how. Does anyone know anything about this?
I hate having the comments list vertical, I like it horizontal AND at the bottom. Also some of the page nav tools…
I keep reading that the "PDF Optimizer" is located in the Save As flyout menu. But I don't have it there. I have Reduced and Certified, but no optimized. Any thoughts?
I'm annoyed that Pro X cannot remember my last page setup. Keeps defaulting to letter. Any suggestions?
I have used Acrobat for at least 8 years. At each upgrade the various names for the functions are changed, eg paper Captore, via at least 3 other names to OCR.
I am a full registered used of Acrobat X on a Mac, and when I make a bookmrk, all is Ok. However when I make another the previous one reverts to untitled.
Also I have placed the delete a page icon on the menu bar, and then I find, either this one when required to delete does not function, but the one in the Tools Paneldoes, then next time I want to delete, the reverse happens.
As I do a lot of bookmarks, I am now using version 8.
I am in the Uk, and just try to make contact with a proper english speaker here. IMPOSSIBLE
I'm having the same issue as Niel, but the opposite. Somehow the default got set to 13x19, and I want it to go back to letter. Acrobat X doesn't have the page setup feature under file that the older versions had.
Open a document in Acrobat X. Go to the Print dialog. Click on Page Setup. Under 'Format For' choose your printer and under 'Paper Size' choose the desired size. In the top menu 'Settings' click on the drop down and choose 'Save as Default'. Click 'OK'. Acrobat should now remember these settings for all future documents.
Seriously.. this is driving me crazy!! I have to print multiple documents and its wasting my time!
Legend, thank you so much. I couldn't find preflight and I was losing my mind you basically just saved my life.
Cheers, Chels :)
Organizer is gone… the number of tools you can dock is limited. The menus are counter-intuitive unless you work for Adobe. Functionality has been changed. I am down-grading to 9. Acrobat suX badly…
I use Acrobat for print production and I see a new "background" - "add background" feature - but it appears the colors provided are all RGB. I've tried to use what appear to be drop downs and fly out menus without any luck. I would like to be able to select CMYK values using the "color" tool.
(I also find it strange if I choose "other color" the colors are displayed on top of the new menu - you have to move the newly opened window to the side to get to any of the options).
I'm using a Mac, has anyone else encountered this problem of not being able to use what appear to be drop down menus and fly outs in the color window?
Is there no way to reverse the order of pages in a pdf now? i have found some javascript to enter in for v9 but the same menus are not available on X. Any work around for this please?
"Acrobat 9 included our product improvement program and we had 100's of thousands of customers take part. "
So, development in Microsoft and Adobe is a matter of democracy, not functionality. And democracy applied to software development is what gave us Windows 8, the Ribbon and Acrobat X.
It seems that social science applied to software can only cause revolts among human users.
Acrobat X is a great loss of time for my work. I spend time and time to reach commands that I could simply invoke with a quick shortcut.

I changed a lot of things about this recipe to make use of what I had on hand, but kept the same basic flavors of ham and cheese. We thought it was a nice change from the usual Italian calzone that I usually make.I made my own recipe for calzone dough -- easier, since it's a bread machine recipe. I used shredded cheddar rather than sliced, and cubed ham rather than sliced, and pepperoni instead of the summer sausage. Also, I spread the mustard right on the dough before layering on the other items.I also did not make the braided loaf; just rolled it up and sealed it as I would calzone.All in all, we thought this had excellent flavor -- and we proved that this is a very flexible recipe!

Oh, I also added cooked, crumbled, Italian sausage.

Tried a varietion of this recipe on my picky family tonight and they loved it! I used one can of refrigerator french bread dough and it worked great. Changed out the Swiss for Smoked Provolone and American, and left out the mustard. We dipped it in marinara sause and it was wonderful. Very filling!

This was a great hit at our Super Bowl party this year. I did "cheat" and used frozen bread dough that I defrosted in the fridge over night.

I think you mean "to cut 1-in.-wide strips."
