Dragging files out of portfolio

By default a user is able to drag a file out of a pdf portfolio onto their desktop or a folder. Permission to drag those items onto another document or program is restricted. I'm wondering if it's possible to grant permission to drag the file out of the portfolio into a specified document/program. Is this possible? Where/how could I modify this permission? Specifically, I have image files that I want to drag out of the portfolio and into another pdf document.

Hi,
I don't think you are going to have much luck with this task.
While you can drag out of a portfolio, it is generally just to Explorer. You can't drag a file into another PDF, using drag and drop. This functionality is not available within Acrobat.
In addition you will not be able to drag images from a portfolio or from Explorer into an image field in an XFA form.
Sorry,
Niall

    I posted this on another thread. See if this works:
    1) Uncheck "Backup previous version" in Keynote's Preferences.
    2) Make a duplicate copy of your file that has issues and save it.
    3) If you still get spinning wheels from switching between apps after editing or 10 seconds of inactivity, manually save with command+s. It may beach ball here but be patient and wait for it to finish! Try editing and resume doing work now.
    Command+s may be a bit slow but I think that might be normal since the files are so big.
    Good luck and let me know if this works.

  • Can't drag files out of the dock folders/stacks

    On Mavericks I'm able to drag files out of the folders/stacks I have on the Dock (Downloads, Documents, etc.) just as you would anywhere on OSX. But, for some reason my mom (Mavericks) and my fiancee (Mountain Lion) can't. I've tried checkin the permissions for those folders (in Get Info) and they have read/write permissions. This only happens in list view, not in fan, grid or automatic. Is there some hidden setting or something else that would allow them to be able to drag files?

    For downloads, go to your user folder downloads and remove them there. Same for Applications. To remove alias from the Dock hold down the command key while dragging them from the Dock.
    If that does't work, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. Then try a Dock reset.
    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

  • Dragging Files Out Of iTunes

    Hey guys
    I want to drag files out of my iTunes library, onto a flash drive so i can put it onto my PS3. Anyway, some of the albums i have drag like normal, and i can put them on, but some albums dont. When i drag the files, nothing happens. Even when i try and drag them to the desktop, still nothing. So i go right click, and show in windows explorer, but i get the error "c:/documents and settings.... etc." "Access Id Denied"
    But i can access the file that is in my My Music folder, if you get me, but just can't drag it out of iTunes. Anyway know of a solution? I don't want to drag it out of my My Music folder, because the album artwork doesn't follow it, but if i drag it out of the iTunes library, album art follows it.
    Cheers.

    What kind are the files you are trying to copy from itunes?

  • Why can't I drag files out of folder stacks in Yosemite

    After upgrade to Yosemite, I can't drag files or folders from stacks in the dock to anywhere, I need to open the folder in the finder to do this. anybody havin

    For me, it kind of fixed itself. Unfortunately I cannot say for sure what I did that triggered the fix, because I just noticed the other day that I was able to drag and drop again (what a relief). I can't say for sure that this is related, but the one thing that I did immediately before noticing that it was no longer broken that seemed like it could have had some effect was installing a new, Yosemite compatible version of Asepsis (http://asepsis.binaryage.com). Maybe the problem was the old version of Asepsis hanging around from Mavericks, or maybe doing the Aspesis install somehow fixed it indirectly, or maybe it was just a coincidence and that had nothing to do with it. But that's all I could think of that I did that might have had an effect on the Finder.

  • Why can't I drag files out of Photoshop CC to another program?

    Hello, I have a smart object in Photoshop that I want to drag into InDesign, however when I drag the file onto InDesign's icon in the dock it does nothing. This has worked for me in the past. It won't drag into Illustrator either.
    Has anyone else experienced this and resolved it?

    The reason is Photoshop is a document editor. It does not work on files it can only save documents into some image file formats. So there is no file that you can drag out of Photoshop. It does support copy and paste and you can copy layer from to the system clipboard or a copy merge to the clipboard and paste into an othe application.  I do not have other Adobe applications so  I do not know what data exchange Adobe does support between its application.

  • Dragging files out of iPhoto

    I was uploading photos to fotki out of iPhoto and I noticed that even though I dragged the modified photos out of iPhoto only the original file got uploaded. Is there any way of dragging the photo out of iPhoto, but still retain the modifications made to the picture? I don't want to have to go into the modified folder since this would take forever for batch uploads. It's much easier to drag the pictures right off of iPhoto.
    Thanks

    Exit:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you dragging to the desktop first? That has always given me the edited version. If it's not for you, rebuild the library as follows and try again: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    Happy Holidays
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't drag icons out of my dock

    I can't drag files out of stacks (Downloads or Application folders) or app icons off my dock. I reset my SMC when I rebooted and it worked but then I reboot the next day (today) and it won't work anymore. Do I really have to reset SMC every time I boot up? I recently downgraded from Yosemite because it is incomplete and full of bugs and now I have this issue.
    OS X: 10.9.5

  • Can't drag files into folders in PDF portfolio

    I have created a PDF portfolio that contains primarily PDFs converted from e-mail messages, along with a few files from various Microsoft Office products. The portfolio has been added to over time, and now we have almost 100 files in the portfolio, so we'd like to organize these files into folders so it is easier to use.
    However, when I create a folder, I am not able to drag any files into it. I've tried all different types of files--PDFs, Word, PowerPoint--when I drag the file on top of the folder, I get the circle backslash symbol indicating the function is not allowed. I can't find any information about this in the Help files; every tutorial I've looked at indicates that I should be able to drag and drop files wherever I like, but doesn't mention what to do if I can't.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro X on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
    Any suggestions about why this might be happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to have to recreate the whole thing, but it's not going to be very useful if we continue adding unorganized files.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    I tried a different layout (I had a custom layout set up; I switched to the standard Grid), and I still can't drag and drop.
    I just now created a new portfolio with a few of the same files, and I was able to drag the files into a folder I created.
    Yes, the original portfolio was created in Acrobat 9.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

  • Deleting files out of system preferences desktop background.

    Does anyone know how to delete files out of system preferences>desktop & screen saver?
    Some how when adding one photo to the file for the desktop background it took the entire photo file. So that instead of one photo for the file it has over 200 now. Read everything and tried everything. Still can't figure out how to delete that file from the list.
    I know how to add photos or whatever to use as desktop background just no idea how to remove them from the list.
    Any ideas?

    Doug,
    When you go to system preferences>desktop & screen savers>desktop. On the left is a window with the names of the images listed. Apple Images, Nature file, Plants file, Picture Folder, Choose Folder and so forth. The ones that come with Apple products. Not sure what all else is native to Apple.
    Iv been using my own desktop background since the day I got the iBook. Normally I just get one photo or image and more it there to use. But, last week I did something different or wrong. Maybe holding a button to long, not sure. Instead of moving the one photo it moved the entire photo file. That file had over 200 (2,500x1,800 in size & over 550KB for each) and probably closer to 250 photos in it.
    Way to many to be there. And I simply can't find a way to remove that file from the desktop list. I can high light it, but it doesn't delete with the delete button. I can high light it, but it doesn't change anything in system preferences banner to edit, view, etc....to remove it either. It won't click & drag to trash.
    Being very careful because I don't want to delete the file and by error delete it totally off the computer. I could creat a new file with only 1 photo in it for use as the desktop background. Then try to choose that file. However, since the last big OS-X update it's been doing this. Everytime I choose a file or photo it's adding the entire file not just the 1 photo. And Iv managed to add 3 files so far to that list.
    Any ideas? Thx, Mike

  • Can't drag files. Help!

    Hoping someone can help me. I came the other day to find that none of the files on our iMac G5 could be dragged. Stuff on the desktop couldn't be moved, re-arranged, etc. Even in iTunes, files couldn't be dragged to new playlists.
    I'm not sure what happened. My wife said she was playing a game that crashed suddenly, then all of a sudden this.
    Any advice? I just can't figure this one out.
    Thanks in advance.

    Didn't work … I'm ready to kill this machine!
    The funny thing is, because I can no longer drag files, I had to control click on those files to move them to the trash.
    For the life of me I can't figure out what's going on. I'm thinking I may have the bring the machine to the local Mac dealer or reinstall the OS.
    Any other thoughts?

  • Can't drag files or edit file information in iTunes.

    I just bought a new computer a month ago, and when I downloaded iTunes on it, it worked perfectly fine. Recently, it hasn't been allowing me to drag files anywhere. Not at all. I also can't edit song info because it's all greyed out. I really need help because I want to put more songs on my iPhone and edit playlists on my iPhone and it won't let me even add a playlist on my iPhone. I have complete control over all files on my hardrive. I haven't moved any songs that I imported into iTunes. I really don't know what to do, and it's really frustrating. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Does the DVD-R have a very long name? If so, see:
    *Unable to copy or move files from volume that has a long name*
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2053
    If this seems to be the problem you'd probably have to try burning a new DVD with a shorter name, since you can't rename the present DVD.

  • Export raw file out of lightroom

    Is there a way to export a raw file out of LR if who want to work on
    in other app? I wanted to use DoX on some I-Stock photos and wanted just
    to export.

    This sounds like you are trying to replicate an Aperture function - exporting the raw files to get them out of its dungeon or vault.
    You might not need to export the raw files in LR. If you drag to the Mac Desktop, you are duplicating the raw file, which may well be what you want to achieve. Alternatively why not just Cmd-R to show them in Finder and then edit them in DoX (what?). The other alternative is to do your LR adjustments and then use export to generate TIF or JPG files for further editing. But without knowing what DoX is, it's hard to say what the right way may be.

  • How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

    I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
    For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
    I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
    There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
    How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
    Thanks

    Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.
