Can I automatically generate a PDF each time I close an InDesign document?

Hello. Is there any way that I can automatically generate a PDF each time I close an InDesign document? I’d appreciate any help with this at all. Thanks a lot. 

Hi,
Surely with JavaScript!
As for me, writing a little shortcut in 2 minutes, using QuicKeys [OSX or Windows]! 
What I do [here, using InDesign CS4]:
I don't directly close the doc. I only play, e.g. here : Cmd-F7 (OSX).
Process: the doc. is saved [1] ; export to pdf [2-3-4] ; the doc. is closed [5]

    I can't print an item,and each time I attempt to do so a message reads that the item is either spam or contains a virus.
    What gives?

    What is the format of the item you are attempting to print (via ePrint?)?  Is it a supported format?  See an updated list here.

    Hi,
    I am trying to install 'Playonmac' so I can install Meta Trader 4 - however each time I reach the next button in order to install XQuartz it hits a dead end
    - the 'Installing Quartz' window is saying installing Quartz, but all it does from there is the clock the spins around, just keeps spinning and nothing happens - I have waited and waited for it, but it just kind of freezes there.  I have reloaded the software over and over, and even switched off the firewall in case it was blocking Playonmac.  It is really important I load Meta Trader 4 on my Mac.
    Help will be much appreciated - Has anyone had this sort of problem?  Does anyone know how to resolve it? 
    Regards

    According to wiki "the documentation from Apple states that Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista is requisite for a Boot Camp installation, and it also mentions that trying to install an unsupported operating system could prevent the computer from booting even into Mac OS X". Sure that was from wiki, but it does seem to support and somewhat validate the problem I had with installing an earlier edition of XP.

    Thanks for the info on the Filesystem info. My problem is that installing OS X on a mac is just a little bit more technical than installing Windows on a PC as there are a few more things to consider. Plus I'm not familiar with any of the utility programs as well. It's a **** miracle I managed to somehow create a volume to install OS X on when I thought I was erasing the partition I created for WinXP.
    But I'm still not sure about the missing 40GB from my 500GB HDD. Upon coming to the desktop straight after OS X was fully re-installed I noticed that the HDD only had 460GB and that 440GB of it available space. So the full installation of OS X was 20GB, but where has the other 40GB gone? I swear I saw that I had much more available space on my harddrive (BEFORE I tried to partition my HDD under Boot Camp Assistant and stuffing up the computer). Is the missing 40GB from the ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL of OS X INCLUDING all my iTunes music and other files I uploaded to the computer earlier? It would make sense but there's no way, as far as I know, of checking this. Any ideas?
    Cheers.

  • Is it possible to set firefox to recreate the daily bookmarkbackup (json) file each time it close as opposed to once a day ?

    From what I understand, Firefox create a daily backup of it's bookmarks in a .json file the first time it closes each day. We found that if a user has already closed Firefox in the present day (and the .json bookmarkbackup file is already created for the present day), it won't add to this file the bookmarks added later in the day at futures Firefox closes...
    So if, for example, places.sqlite gets corrupted later in the day, all new bookmarks added after the first close (and creation of original daily backup) of Firefox aren't backuped...
    Is there any way to set it so that each time it closes for the current day, it regenerate the daily backup of bookmarks with the lastest bookmarked pages?
    Thanks

    Note that a JSON backup is created when you start Firefox and not when you close Firefox.
    You can make Firefox create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML pref to true on the about:config page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
    That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the browser.bookmarks.file pref on the about:config page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file
    The browser.bookmarks.file pref doesn't exist by default and you need to create a new String pref with the name browser.bookmarks.file and set the value to the full path of the backup bookmarks file.
    Note: an HTML backup doesn't preserve tags and annotations, so you lose those if you need to import the HTML backup.

  • Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint 2010 Library

    Hello guys,
    I'm facing some design issue with sharepoint 2010 and Microsoft office, hope you can help me to fix this.
    Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint Library when I'm already authenticated via the browser?
    Please help me to skip this authentication when i try to open office documents from sharepoint library.
    Thanks

    Hi Jeyaraman, in addition to Alex's solution, check the following browser settings:
    Make sure “Enable protected mode” in security tab & “Require server verification” in “sites” area are unchecked. In “Custom level,” choose “Automatic logon” way at the bottom.

  • My document size changes each time i close it

    my document size change each time i close it. how can i lock in one size?

    Hi K,
    I never noticed that before. Mine only changes by a few bytes, unless I add a lot to the Word doc. I don't believe you can "lock it in."

  • Firefox crashes or just freezes and each time I close it, I have to type all the websites again - it does not memorize them as the previous version did?

    The latest version of Firefox looks great, but some new problems began appearing:
    -sometimes it crashes or just freezes and nothing can be done, it just says Not Responding
    -each time I close all the tabs I always put - Save option so that next time all the tabs are there, but with the new version I never get all the tabs from the previous session, but only the blank or home page?

    Restart your computer and try again.
    Double check your AppleMenu()>System Preferences>Trackpad
    for all custom settings here.

    Try disabling the IDLE switch in the account's Advanced preference panel.

  • Why does iCloud appear each time I close Mail?

    Why is it that when I close out of Mail and go back into Mail, the iCloud inbox is the first to appear?  So, basically each time I close the Mail program on my iPhone 6 Plus and go back to it, regardless if new mail has arrived in the other three accounts I have set up, I am in theiCloud account and have to press the back button at the top of the screen to go into the account where the mail has arrived. It's sort of annoying to have to go back to the account where the mail has arrived. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I don't think I understand your question...
    I just received an e-mail(your reply), and Mail was totally closed. I pressed the Mail icon with the little 1 in the corner and instead of it going to list of accounts or the "mailboxes" screen, instead it went directly into my iCloud account. My friend's iPhone 6 goes directly into mailboxes when he presses the Mail button. Mine does not.

  • The App Tabs are a great function but mine vanish each time I close Firefox. Why? Really just makes them act just like a regular tab then. Mac OS w/ Firefox 5.0.1

    The App Tabs are a great function but mine vanish each time I close Firefox. Why? Really just makes them act just like a regular tab then.

    Make sure that you use Firefox > Quit Firefox to close the window with the App Tabs and the Firefox application.<br />
    If you only close the window and not Firefox then you need to use History > Recently Closed Windows.

  • Mail keeps resetting when I close it. I delete an account and tell my notes not to show in the mailbox but each time I close the mail program or restart the computer the mail account comes back and the preferances reset.

    I delete an account and tell my notes not to show in the mailbox but each time I close the mail program or restart the computer the mail account comes back and the preferances reset.
    I have deleted preferances. I deleted the account using the - sign in system preferances. I make the account inactive, close mail and relaunch and it is active. I have using the email and installed a new ssd system drive. I was able to change some of the mail program settings but then it just quit letting me change and save them. When I delete it in the mail program, it asks it I want to remove it for good, I say yes.

  • Automatically Generate a PDF File and a Paper Copy

    Is it possible to generate a PDF file automatically when a report is printed to paper?  I don't want the users to print to paper in one process then have to print a second time to a PDF file because that step will be forgotten.

    Hi Layne,
    I haven't heard of something like this. I'm sure CR does not have this functionality, however there could be third party add-ons for CR that could do this.

  • Automatically generating multiple pdf reports from single(*.rpt) report file

    Post Author: msam
    CA Forum: General
    I would like to be able to automatically pass a parameter list to a single report, and have it automatically generate multiple reports (as saved pdf files), based on the parameter list.
    Is this possible?  If so, could someone point me to some documentation?  Thanks.

    What you probably need to do is generate each bio
    individually with the
    <cfdocument...> tag just the way you want them. And
    then use some of
    the advanced <cfpdf...> functionality that allows you
    to append two or
    more individual PDF's into a single large PDF.
    Here are some resources that describe some of the
    <cfpdf...> functionality.

  • 1st Gen iPad re-syncs every book/pdf each time it is connected to iTunes

    Hey everyone.  Perhaps this has been asked/solved before, but I couldn't find a link.  I have the 1st gen iPad (ancient) 64gb WiFi/3G with 200+ books, pdfs, documents, etc in iBooks.  Each time I connect my iPad to iTunes, it syncs quickly, until step 7; and then proceeds to re-sync every single book, pdf, document within iBooks.  It does not sync un-checked documents.
    I've tried:
    1. Restoring
    2. Complete erase and re-install (2x)
    3. Magic
    4. Complete erase of every document and reuploading them in iTunes
    Not quite sure what to do.  Syncs take 10+ minutes now, even to add one new document.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    I would try set it to not sync books at all
    sync
    disconnect it
    reconnect it
    set it to sync books again
    sync

  • How can I force a new window each time I click on Safari?

    I am trying to set up a Mac for my parents with the same functionality as their old Windows box. In windows each time you click the IE icon it opens a new window. In Safari each time you click on the safari icon it just opens the current window you have open.
    I know you can do a CTRL+N or use tabs but I am trying to set this computer up exactly as their old one. Does anyone know if there is a setting that will open up a new Safari window each time the icon is clicked in the Dock?

    There is a way to do it, but it's not reliable due to the way that web sites create links on their pages. Some are coded with JavaScript, and that will override any behavior you might want.
    It's not hard to just put your thumb on the Command key and click a link or a bookmark; it will produce the same result as the other way I mentioned, but without needing to download, install, and configure a third-party "hack". It also has the added benefit of having one finger always in position to Copy or Paste something.
