How to include original InDesign filename in the PDF properties?

In CS3, I used to make postscript files and distill them to PDFs in Acrobat Distiller. When I did this the finished PDF would include info about the author and original filename.
In CS5 I export directly to PDF. Is there any way to include this data when I export? I know you can add additional metadata in File info, but it doesn't seem to include the original file name.
Anyone know how to do this?

Distiller operates on files, so I'm not surprised it can insert the file name, but I wonder where it gets the author?  (I confess I use Distiller as a last resort.)
One of the charming aspects of XMP metadata is that the names for the different categories of information sometimes change with the context.  Thus were you to put your ID file's name in the ID File Info category Description and export to PDF it will show up in Acrobat/Reader in the Subject category.  If I wanted to record the original ID filename I'd probably paste it there -- in my work Title usually needs to hold the actual title.  One of the scripters could probably come up with a way to automate the process, but I want to check the metadata anyway, and as long as I'm there it doesn't take long to type or paste in the filename.

  • How to include original message body in the reply to a workflow notificatio

    Hi,
    I have a requirement from my clients.
    Standard Functionality: When a Manager clicks on the APPROVE (button / link) to approve a workflow notification from a mailing application, a (response) mail gets composed to the Workflow Mailbox with the NID and Access Key. The content as shown below.
    ===========================
    Action: 'Approve'
    Comments: ''
    NID[3699/874478985@WFMAIL3]
    ===========================
    Requirement:
    The requirement is that, when the Maanger clicks on Approve / Reject, the original message body also has to get populated into the response mail along with the NID and Access Key.There would be audits conducted(looking into the workflow mail box) on the approval / rejection decisions taken by the users. The intention of getting the originial message body is to identify, to which notification(or letter) this action was taken. Me, being a Technical person can get it from the Notification Id in the workflow mail box, but the people conducting the Audit cant identify that. So, I need to get the original message body into the response. This is the reason for the requirement.
    Actually, I dont need the whole message body, but the value in an URL attribute, which is one of the SEND attributes of the notification in question.
    fyi, It is a VOTING ACTIVITY and hence, I donot know how many users would get the notification.
    I tried creating a RESPONSE Attribute(I understand that, a response attribute is an attribute where I accept inputs from the user), but couldnt assign the value to that attribute.
    Regards

    Sadly, I believe this will require a bit of development to make it happen. The project I'm on now...we are finding that to get it to do what we want it to do, a development to customize the email message to include all the case fields is required.

  • How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up?  I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

    How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up?  I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

    Hi Rave,
    InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type.  I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document.  The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document.  That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do.  I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago.  I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
    Thanks,

  • How to include in table of contents the list of figures and list of tables?

    How to include in table of content the "Table of contents", "List of figures" and "List of tables"? All are generated with function Table of contents, but they will not appear in generated table of contents even if they have proper style of headings - Heading 1, as other chapter.
    I get this in generated Table of contentes of my dissertaion thesis:
    Table of contents
    Preface
    Table of contents <- missing
    List of tables <- missing
    List of figures <- missing
    Introduction
    Main
    Conclusion
    Is it ok, that generated lists are not included in table of contents?

    You've just confused me.
    My understanding of how this is set up is that either:
    This is a book, and there is a master TOC that includes all book documents and a document-specific TOC in each component file, or
    This is a single file and there is one master TOC that includes all sections and a section-specific TOC that includes only the individual section.
    In the first case, I think you would want two TOC styles set up, one that includes the chapter heads (if I understood how you said this worked) for the for the master, and you would include all docs in the book when you generate it, and a second style for the individual chapters, with the subheadings you want to include.
    In the second case, it would be similar, but instead of only one style to cover the section TOCS, I think you would need to create a unique set of pargraph styles for the headings in each section (they can all be the same format, based one section, just with unique names), and then make a TOC style for each section that includes only the styles from that section.
    OK,  wait a sec. I just reread what you said: "Another thing: when the numbers are "linked" and updating well, they  display indide a little box. Not a text box, but a kind of little frame  around the numbers. That frame makes it imposible to delete just one  number: when the TOC says that Section 6.1 is in page 135, for example,  you cannot delete just the 5, it deletes, not just the 3 numbers, but  also the doted tab."
    I think these are NOT normal TOCs created by using Layout > TOC (but you could replace them with ones that are, if you set up your styles properly and the text you want to include is appearing on the pages). Those little boxes you mention sound like cross-references, which should update automatically without any intervention at all. Unfortunately, cross-refs can be flakey, especially if they point to another document. I'd open the cross-refs panel and see if you need to recreate a bunch of links.

  • How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    Thanks T P I got this from your search:  http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/31/set-default-pdf-viewer-mac-os-x/
    for others here is the answer.
    If you’ve downloaded Adobe Acrobat on the Mac you’ve probably discovered that it takes overPreview as the default PDF viewer in OS X, which is annoying because Acrobat is slow to load and a fairly bloated application. There’s little need to use Acrobat Reader as the way to view PDF files, so here’s how to change it back to Preview.
    Change the Default PDF Viewer in Mac OS X
    From the Mac OS X desktop, find a PDF file and hit Command+i to “Get Info” on the file
    Click on the arrow next to “Open with:” to expand and access the default application list
    Click the pull-down menu and choose “Preview” from the list, or if it’s not visible, navigate to it by choosing “Other”
    With Preview.app selected, click on the “Change All” button
    This will restore the leaner and very capable Preview app as the default PDF viewer in OS X and prevent the lengthy launch of Acrobat anytime a PDF is opened. This tip will be of less use if you need the full functioned Acrobat version, but for the average person just looking to quickly open pdf docs this can be a significant time saver.
    If you want a quick PDF file to use for this tip, you can grab the Apple history book “The Macintosh Way” for free (direct PDF link).

    How can I open and listen to the PDF documents with audio in my iPad?

    You need to use a PDF reader that supports multimedia. Adobe Reader 10.3 does not. Adobe has not stated whether it will support multimedia in the future.

    As Amir suggested, you may provide in the URL but I wouldn't suggest it though. You don't want to hard code the user ID and password within in the WSDL because it is a bad practice especially the user ID and password may be different in different systems and every time you change the password, you have to regenarate your WSDL.
    May be you thought through this but just in case if you didn't

  • How to map the elements in Indesign document with the PDF elements

    I wanted to know any way of mapping elements in the InDesign document with the elements in the exported PDF document from the same InDesign document.
    E.g If I have an Image X in InDesign document, Can I point out the same element in exported PDF using some mapping?
    Thanks in advance
    -Sandeep

    What is meant by me is, if there is a Text element in InDesign document, I should able to point out the respective PDF object.
    I am looking for some way to mark a specific InDesign element and once we export the document to PDF, I want to point out to the same element in some way so that I can process it.
    Requirement is simple, one user will mark some elements in the InDesign document and export it to PDF and send it to the other user. Other user will parse the PDF and extract the same element back or process it and use it.

  • AcroPDF ActiveX control on Excel Userform --- how to include it when I print the form?

    Here is a screen-shot of my Excel Userform which IS displaying the correct PDF file inside of an AcroPDF ActiveX control.
    Everything works on this form, including an option to print out a full-sized (8.5 x 11) version of the PDF.
    However ...
    I would like to push the "Print this Form" button, and have a paper copy of exactly what you see on-screen.
    The form does print, but the PDF displayed in the ActiveX control is BLANK.
    I also have an Image control  on this same form with code that allows me to browse for an image file (.JPG) which I use for Custom signs ...
    The form prints and the image displayed in the Image Control DOES print with the form.
    The Code:
    Private Sub cboSelectSign_Change()
    Dim MyPDF As String
    If Len(Me.cboSelectSign.Value) > 0 Then
        If Me.cboSelectSign.Value = "(Custom)" Then
            Me.AcroPDF1.Visible = False
            Me.ctlImage.Visible = True
            Me.ctlImage.Picture = Nothing

  • Can anyone tell me how to separate original photo files from the edited files in Photoshop Elements 13?

    We run a child sponsorship program and we only use the edited files and delete the originals after they are edited due to space restrictions. We are using Mac's and we save our photo files each month into a folder (Not Iphoto) and then pull them into Photoshop Elements 13 to edit and resize.  When they are saved, Photoshop Organizer saves the edited files in the same file folder as the original.  We then have to manually go through and delete the original Photos.  We tried exporting and that does only export the edited files, but is there any way to edit photos and then the edited photos go into a separate file?

    GLADIXIE a écrit:
    For all 5000 photos?  Surely there is a simpler way after we go through and crop each photo and clean it up and then resize it?
    I imagine that what you want, once you have edited your month files in their month folder, is to delete the original and keep only the 'top' file in the version set. Then select all the files in your folder (Ctrl A), right click on any thumbnail and choose 'Version set'. In the dialog that opens, select 'flatten version sets'.

  • How can I get a filename without the file extension?

    I using a JFileChooser to select and read a file. Now I want to get the filename without the file extension
    JFileChooser j = new JFileChooser;
    String file = j.getSelectedFile.getName();
    At the moment I get this result "file.dat". I need only the filename.....
    Thank you
    Thomas

    It's quite that.
    Here is the code to do that (and the method to get only the extension):
         public String getFileName(String text) {
              int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
              if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
                   return text.substring(0, ind);
              return(null);
         public String getFileExtension(String text) {
              int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
              if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
                   return text.substring(ind+1).toLowerCase();
              return(null);
         }(I used 0<ind instead of ind>0 because with the code formatting there is a bug with > )
    I hope this helps,
    Denis
