Date oddity in Acrobat, default page size oddity

[Matt_Nelson@adobeforums.com]

Got two things driving me nuts. One, when I go to Save As a file, the file dats come up in the form like this:

Saturday, July -2147483642, 41221, 7:00 PM

And nothing can be ordered properly when I want to sort by date, they are all random or are sorted by this number, which doesn't seem to follow dates at all. Nothing else, no other program, Illy, PS, or anything else does this. This is on Mac OSX.4, but has been this way for several OS releases. Files are on an Xserve running 10.3.

Also, how do you set the default page size? Mine keeps going to what I call the "Chokey Envelope" size. I figure a trash of preferences might make it go back to Letter, but I have custom page sizes set up that I don't want to lose, and I'd like to know if I can change it to what I want anyway.

Thanks!!!

Matt, sorry, I cannot help you with your first question, never heard of your problem. And I don't understand your second question, as there is not a default page size in an application that is not used for layout or for producing PDFs.

Matt:

What version of Acrobat are you using?

When's the last time you repaired permissions (from the Mac OSX install disc)?

I am experiencing the same date issue. Specifically, when my users go to the Open menu through Acrobat, some random number of files will have the exact date and time that Matt mentioned above -- "Saturday, July -2147483642, 41221, 7:00 PM". Some folders have one or two bad dates, some have 50% bad dates. The same files within the same folders will show differently on two different workstations. If I open one of the bad dated files, or any file in the folder, when I close and go back to the Open menu, some or all of the files have gone back to normal.

We are using Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5s with 1.5 GB RAM, OSX 10.4.6 and 10.4.8, Acrobat 7.0.8. Our files are stored on Win2003 SP1 blades.

Has anybody else experienced this? (If two of us are getting the exact same date, I'm sure others are as well.)
