Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

@stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
What you can do against that?
1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.

  • Is there a way to list all the file names (automatically) in a folder to dynamic text box?

    Hi,
    I would like to know whether FLASH AS3 has some option to get all the files names from a folder specified and show it in a dynamic text box? Whenever some new files added to this folder it should update the list accordingly.
    Thanks for any information in this regard.

    Not particularly experienced in this field myself, but I've found its just easier to implement an XML file which lists the contents of the folder. It just means that when you upload a new file you have to add it to the list in the xml file also. No real hardship once you figure out the mechanics of it

  • Is there a page size limit when exporting a pdf from InDesign?

    My indd file is 201x40 inches with a 1.5 inch slug. When I export to pdf I get this message, "The document page size exceeds the page size range supported in PDF files. Exported pages will be resized to fit within PDF limits."

    Although the PDF spec mentions that it's feasible to create a PDF as large as 15,000,000 inches in either direction, 200 x 200 inches is Distiller’s limit for PostScript. It’s based on the Windows printer driver limitation.
    If I read the quote below correctly, the maximum page size is 15 million inches (381 km).
    "This is from the PDF Reference 1.6:
    177. In PDF versions earlier than PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit is fixed at 172 inch. In Acrobat viewers earlier than version 4.0, the minimum allowed page size is 72 by 72 units in default user space (1 by 1 inch); the maximum is 3240 by 3240 units (45 by 45 inches). In Acrobat versions 5.0 and later, the minimum allowed page size is 3 by 3 units (approximately 0.04 by 0.04 inch); the maximum is 14,400 by 14,400 units (200 by 200 inches).
    Beginning with PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit may be set with the UserUnit entry of the page dictionary. Acrobat 7.0 supports a maximum UserUnit value of 75,000, which gives a maximum page dimension of 15,000,000 inches (14,400 * 75,000 * 172). The minimum UserUnit value is 1.0 (the default)."

    SELECT table_name FROM user_tablesThat won't do much good given this piece of information:
    i am trying to finish a lab for school but i don't know what tables are in my

  • Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

    Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2?  iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

    Hi rhyolite,
    In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
    The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.
    Regards,

  • Is there a way to permanently set the mailbox order?

    Is there a way to permanently set the sequence in which mailboxes are displayed in the left-most panel of Mail? I can drag and drop the mailboxes into the order I want, and they seem to stick around - at least until I update any of the accounts. The moment I update an accounts prefernces in Preferences, Accounts, the display order is set to the same order that appears on the preferences display. 
    I have a fairly large number of email accounts, and often have to tweak settings, so it's a bit of a pain to have to reset the order every time I make a change.
    This is occurring on both my MBP and my iMac.

    Same question.
    I recently left Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    Previously, in the side bar of Mail, (the one you make visible using "Show" in a previous post here), I was able to drag and drop any of the Reception mailboxes to the place I wanted to select, to put them in the order I wished, and this order remained until I decide to change it.
    This seems not possible any more, or... just for the current session. If I close Mail and reopen, Reception boxes are re-ordered in alphabetic way.
    Any way to make my choice permanent as before ???
    To make it more clear, ordering my way is possible by drag and dropping for private mailboxes, but not for reception mailboxes associated to different mail accounts, the order is lost once Mail is closed.

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

  • Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone?

    Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone? Every evening I have to remember to adjust the volume to 3 bars, versus full volume during the day.

    I cannot believe this problem hasn't been rectified yet!
    If I use the pre installed ringtone as an alarm and set it low so I don't jump out of my skin, then my call volume is too low the next day, so have to change it.
    If I use a song as an alarm, I have the same problem, but its when I watch a video. I set it quiet, then jump out of my skin the next morning if I've left it tuned up after watching YouTube. Also works the other way if I've watched a video with the sound down, and forget to turn it back up, then I don't hear my alarm, which makes me late!
    It could also do with an ascending volume option, so it starts nice and quiet to wake you gradually. My old phones from pre iPhone days had these features and they worked great.
    Surely this isn't that much of an issue to sort out. Yet I've seen posts back as far as 2006 complaining about it.
    Come on apple pull your finger out!

  • Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?

    Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?
    I have a cluster with 90 values..  ninety!  yes that many.
    Change one bloody value and the prototype changes in the TestStand step...  Reload the prototype and guess what happens??!!??
    All the bloody values get reset to defaults!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
    If it was in one place, I could survive the ordeal.  But I have to change bloody prototypes in many places!!!!
    more AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I can't even copy the bloody values!!!!!!!  AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Are there any tricks that I am not aware of, or have forgotten over the years, or...  ...   something??!!??!???!!
    If there are none, I will have to post an improvement to TestStand..  I should mention I am using an older version (4.1).

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
    I am not not very famous with LV and its cluster types.
    So no idea if this works (it works for DataTypes updates very well and a LV cluster is Data Type so.... maybe)
    Make a copy of the step that has to be modified to an new sequencefile. 
    Make modifications the in the copy.
    Now you should have the same DataType Name but other contents in the container. Save it.
    Normally there should be a message box that tells you that version has been incremented. - Accept it.
    Set in StationOptions-File "Allow Automatic ...." to Never.
    Open original sequencefile. Now the there must be a type conflict. Accept/Apply to all  "Use Current Loaded.."
    You have updated the type.....
    Hope this worked,

  • Closed a logic pro x project and when asked to save i said no did i lose all i did or is there a way i can recover the files??

    Closed a logic pro x project and when asked to save i said no did i lose all i did or is there a way i can recover the files??

    Your only parachute would be Time Machine (if you have it running).
    Logic's Auto Save feature doesn't help you at that point because that data is reset if you close the Project (or save the Project). However, the recorded audio files should be still in the Projects File (inside the Media folder of the Package File).
    My guess is that this is actually a bug because it leaves orphan files behind that cannot be accessed from the Logic Project itself.
    Hope that helps

  • "The process cannot access the file ..." occurs when export crystal report

    We are using a web application developed in VS 2005, .NET 2.0 with the bundled Crystal Reports version 10.2.3600.0 running on a Windows 2003 Standard server with 4GB Ram and Dual CPU's. Periodically we are still receiving the following error in our production environment:
    InnerException:
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
       at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext)
       at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
       at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
       at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToStream(ExportOptions options)
       at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType formatType)
    This is occuring at the point on the code where the report is being exported to a PDF. Exporting the report to Excel does not appear to cause the error.
                    Stream outStream = report.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
                    byte[] charStream = new byte[outStream.Length];
                    outStream.Read(charStream, 0, (int)outStream.Length);
                    if ((charStream != null) && (charStream.Length > 0))
                        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                        HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Write(charStream, 0, charStream.Length);
                        HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
                report.Close();
                report.Dispose();
                ds.Dispose();
                GC.Collect();
    Closing and disposing of the report and dataset (xsd) are followed by a call for garbage collection. We are unable to produce the error in our development environmennt and have not at this point been unable to pinpoint a problematic report. The development team members do have SP1 installed. The report limit has not been changed from the standard of 75 jobs.  Reviewed the following document, Re: "The process cannot access the file ..." occurs when export crystal report However this applies to VS 2008. Any suggestions to resolve the issue would be greatly appreciated.

    To answer your questions:
    Is it correct to presume that the physical number of CPU's is not factored into the CPL? So that a Server with 2 or more processors does not increase the 3 concurrent requests? Therefore 2 CPU's would not increase the CPL limit to 6 processes?
    - Server with 2 or more processors does not increase the 3 concurrent requests.
    What would be an alternate solution to this limit be, considering the report requests could increase significantly?
    - Only way around this would be to web farm the solution
    If only only 3 reports can be processed at the same time. If one or more of the reports currently processing is taking longer due to receiving large amounts of data, how does that affect the queue? And what is stored in the queue, data and/or the report? Is this something that could consume memory?
    - The report can take as much time as it needs. The result is that one license will not be released until the report is done. There is no data stored, just a pointer to the report. However queued apps will chew up memory, some times to the point of the server becoming unresponsive
    I have read in the documentation on this site, that the dataset sent to the engine is copied in memory during report construction. So if a large amount of data is requested for a report (as an example 10+ MB) Could enough users requesting reports drive the memory up because memory usage doubled due to the dataset?
    - Absolutely. See [Crystal Reports Guide to ADO.NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/401c4455-a31d-2b10-ae96-fa57af5aec20].
    Understanding the the CR DLL's are loaded on the first report request, do they get released at some point time due to inactivity or garbage collection? How much memory usage could be consumed when they load and stay resident?
    - No they do not. Not as long as the application is running.

  • Is there a way to automatically open the Activity Viewer & make it float?

    I just upgraded from Panther Mail, and I really miss knowing what was going on and having to constantly open the activity viewer and reordering the windows every time I do something. Is there a way to somehow make the activity viewer open with mail each time and keep it floating above the other windows (so I can have an indication of what's going on like in Panther Mail)?
    I'm afraid I'm going to shut mail down in the middle of a crucial activity. No doubt that might well be behind all the problems that develop with it over time.
    Thanks!

    I had two problems relating directly to the Tiger upgrade, one I solved with help here. That was importing saved mail that failed to be imported into one mailbox, the saved messages were showing up as IMAP messages ("haven't been downloaded from the server yet"). When both my accounts were POP, I never even had an IMAP account. I solved that and everything else with mail is fine now, except I want to see what's going on like I was able to in Panther. I especially miss not seeing outgoing mail sent progress, especially with long messages.
    The other issue was font related, and I still cannot get Fontbook to save the fonts I have disabled, so I just removed the duplicates manually (leaving the ones in the system folder as the defaults). As long as I don't open fontbook again, and it doesn't automatically re-enable the fonts, my system is fine. I will leave it alone now for a couple of years like I was able to in Panther. I have over 3000 fonts installed and available at all times which I need for my print work.
    Other than that and a 25 minute log-in time (as it reads the fonts; in Panther it was 7 minutes and I learned to live with that) everything is finally ok.
    The long log-in might also be Spotless related; I don't know enough about it to figure it out; all I know is if it is, it is a small price to pay for the way the system flies not having to index all my loaded drives all the time, not to mention the wear and tear on my drives.
    Tiger is so much faster than Panther (once I shut down Spotlight) it's like having a processor upgrade. Once you work out all the glitches, it's definitely worth the money and time put in. I was very careful with the install... counting backup time the usual precautions and updates to everything afterward (including third-party programs), it took over 30 hours.
    Thanks!

  • Is there a way to automatically add a page to my current form when the user marks the check box?

    I have an existing expense report form that I created using Adobe Pro's Form Tools. The user enters all the appropriate information (ie, vendor, amount, business justification, etc.) and then it calculates all the expenses at the bottom.
    I have added a box next to each line item to be checked by the user in the case that they have an expense with a missing receipt.
    Is there a way to have a pre-existing missing receipt form, be added at the end of the expense report, each time the user marks one of these missing receipt check boxes?
    If so, is there a way to have all the expense line item data automatically fill in the information on the added missing receipt form?
    I am using Adobe Pro's Form tool rather than Livecycle because it is compatible with my IPAD.
