Opening multiple docs fail

After downgrading to Snow Leopard (joke) when I select (in the finder) 4 documents and choose "open" only 2 of the docs open.

There is a long thread about this very problem (and a few
shorter ones) - it is a known problem relating to the
quarantining of downloaded files.
It has been reported to Apple...

Why can't close open multiple docs in Word 2010 in multiple windows while having the option to close them out while keeping Word open?

End User of mine is wanting to open multiple docs in Word 2010.....first initial glance I thought it was a PICNIC issue. But when addressing it she has it set up to NOT "Show all windows in the taskbar" that option is unchecked so that way she
can close out docs in Word and not actually close Word. But with unchecking that box it only stacks the docs it won't display them in mutliple windows. This is not the case with Excel as she has the option enabled to "Show all windows in the taskbar"
but yet the enduser still has the option to close out the spreadsheet and keep Excel open. Is there anyway to keep that second smaller x in Word to close out the docs but yet open in multiple windows like Excel does?
Please advise!
Thank you and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi VyDrix13,
What will happen if you check the option of “Show all windows in the taskbar”?
If you want to closing document and keep Word open, the alternative is to click File > Close, right there under Open and Save.
You also can add the Close button to the Quick Access Toolbar.
If there is anything that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.
Best regards,

Cannot open multiple docs

Since installing SL, I can no longer open multiple items in the same program at the same time.
For instance, I used to be able to select as many JPGs as I needed to view, double click or drag them to Preview and all of them would open in Preview.
OR,
select a few PNGs and drag them onto the Fireworks icon in the dock and they'd all open up in Fireworks, ready for editing.
Now, when I do either of the methods for open multiple files that used to work, only the first file opens.
What am I missing?

HI,
Try deleting the associated preference files to those applications.
com.apple.Preview.plist
com.adobe.fireworks.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, try repairing disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Cannot open multiple docs anymore

I have to open 5 to 10 pdf or jpg documents at the time so I select the documents and click on open but only 1 or 2 documents open.
Am I the only one to experience this ?

I'm seeing something very similar. If I have 5 or so files (images, usually) that I want to open in Preview and I select all of them and either double-click or Cmd-O, only a couple will open, and in separate windows. If I quit Preview and try again those same two files will open in one window, with another opening in a separate window. If I repeat this, eventually all 5 files will open in a single window, as they should have done at the start.
I don't know if it works the same with other file types, but it does seem to work the same with other applications. Dragging files onto Pixelmator pretty much has the same effect.
I've checked the console and there don't appear to be any messages relating to this.

Microsoft word opens multiple docs in Lion

Since installing Lion on my Mac Pro Microsoft Word opens several documents when I open just one document.
Is this a Lion fix or Microsoft? It didn't happen with Snow Leopard

Close them before quitting Word, or turn off autoresume.

Can't open multiple PDF docs on same display

I have a Windows 7 x64 machine, with Acrobat X Standard, running dual displays.
The problem is that I can't get multiple PDF files to open on my right display. One PDF file will open on the right display, if no other PDF files are open. The first one always opens there by default. The problem is that if one file is open, any subsequent PDF files ALWAYS open on the left display, on top of my design software. Then I have to drag it back over to the right to see what I'm doing on the left. Very annoying.
EVERY other application installed on my machine opens where it's supposed to. Multiple Firefox windows always open in the same place on the right display. Multiple Windows Explorer windows always open on the right display. Multiple Outlook, Word, Excel, etc. docs always open on the right display.
Acrobat is the ONLY app that will not open multiple docs on the right side. I had the same issue with Acrobat Reader 9 before I installed X.
My old machine used to do the same thing with Acrobat 8 Standard, and at some point there was an update that seemed to fix it. However I can't seem to get it to work with X on my current machine. Any ideas?

The problem is with the document, not the program.You can try to open the file in Preview and print from there. Otherwise, you will need to contact the creator of the document for a new version of the file.

Open multiple indd docs through SDK

Hi guys
How can I open multiple indesign documents found in a folder chosen
through a folder chooser?
I need to open each indesign doc in that folder and do some
modification on each.
Here is what I have already written. Now how do I proceed please
SDKFolderChooser folderChooser;
folderChooser.SetTitle("Select folder where Indesign Docs are");
folderChooser.ShowDialog();
if (!folderChooser.IsChosen())
break; // cancelled
IDFile inFolder = folderChooser.GetIDFile();
PMString inFolderPath = folderChooser.GetPath();
if (inFolderPath.IsEmpty())
break;
//Now open loop through each file and do some processing on each one at a time
Logically I just have to loop through all the files in that folder,
open them and do my processing but I just cant find the right snippets
anywhere. I guess its pretty easy for u guys but am real new at that
and just cant find any examples anywhere.
Thanks for your help
Alicia

Hi Alicia!
You can use the FileSystemIterator to go through all the files in a folder. See the paneltreeview sdk sample plug-in for example code for this.
Basically you probably want something like this:
    PlatformFileSystemIterator iter;
    iter.SetStartingPath(inFolderPath);
    IDFile idFile;
    PMString filter("\\*.indd");
    bool16 hasNext = iter.FindFirstFile(idFile, filter);
    SDKLayoutHelper helper;
    if (FileUtils::DoesFileExist(idFile))
      do
          UIDRef docRef(helper.OpenDocument(idFile));
          ASSERT(docRef);
          helper.OpenLayoutWindow(docRef);
          hasNext = iter.FindNextFile(idFile);
      while (hasNext);
Good luck!
Oh, you need to include the actual implementations of PlatformFileSystemIterator and SDKLayoutHelper to your project so they are compiled into the plug-in, as they arent part of the InDesign runtime libs.

Batch script to open multiple excel and doc files

Hi Everyone,
Could anybody please provide a batch script to open multiple excel and doc files at a time.
Appreciate ur quick response.
Regards,

You have several scripting choices within Windows. At a basic level you've got "batch files" - which run a series of command interpreter commands, and have a file extension of .BAT or .CMD. If you just wanted to open a list of Word documents, then assuming that the path to Word is correct (something like this below) you could list these in a file with a .BAT extension and run this (e.g. double click on it):
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File1.DOC"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File2.DOC"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File3.DOC"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File1.XLS"
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\File2.XLS"
Another script language is VBScript, which was the example I gave. VBScript is available on most Windows platforms and can be run from a command prompt or within Windows. If you save the text I gave you above to a file with a .VBS extension you can double-click to run it (Windows) or open a command prompt and type CSCRIPT MyVBScript.VBS (assuming that's the name of the your .VBS file).
Other script languages are available to achieve the same thing, including Powershell, however you'd need to have Powershell available on your PC.

Issues with opening multiple artboard docs in Illustrator CS6

Hi. I'm working in CS6 Cloud. I have a document with multiple artboards. However, when I go to open it, a dialogue box comes up and says "Open Pdf - Select a page from PDF to open...". I can then only open single artboards as separate documents. How do I go back to opening multiple art boards all at once? Thanks.

Thanks for your help! That makes sense...I'm pretty sure I didn't save it as a pdf file, which is why I was getting confused...but maybe in between the document being opened between CS6 Cloud and CS5 (which my partner uses), something weird happened?? I will copy everything back into a new doc again with mulitple artboards and make sure it's saved for compatibility with previous versions, and see where that takes me. Thanks again for your help.

CS6 failed to open multiple Thunderbird Attachments

With my Window 7 64 bit computer, when I try to open multiple attachments, it will open some, but not all attachments. I typically get three attached to a single email, and CS6 will usually open two.

OK, In Thunderbird, I select Open All, and it will usually open one or two of the JPGs, but then I get a Download Error (example), .../AppData/Local/Temp/+O3YpIHo.jpg coult not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the srver administrator.
I use the same procedure in CS5 and it works without error.

Unable to Open Multiple Windows Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and recently am unable to open multiple documents at one time without an error occurring and Adobe shutting down. I use multiple screens and want one doc open while I review or compare with another doc. It is happening on two machines at my home both running Windows 8.1. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Ankit,
Thank you for your advice, but Im still having problems.
Back to the OP. To avoid the threads getting confused, I suggest the other user starts a new one?
I have tried ensuring that PDFs are automatically opened by Adobe. I used the path you suggested. However, I'm still having the same problem.
When I went to do this, Adobe was listed in the "recommended" list of products with which to open PDF files. However, I ignored this and followed your guidance. Once I had done, nothing happened (i.e. Adobe icon was not added to the 'Other products' list below the 'Recommended').
To me, this speaks of either a bad installation or bad association in which something is causing Adobe not to recognise itself.
What else can you advise?
Is there, for instance, a way to have a clean removal of Adobe, and then reinstall? I don't even know if this will work.

Unable to open multiple files of different types simultaneously

It seems the MS has made some changes in Win7, and I am no longer able to open multiple files of different types (.doc, .pdf) in Explorer by highlighting the desired files and hitting Enter. It still works if I select only one file type, but
the ability to open multiple files of different types has been in place since Win95, and maybe since Win3.11 (my memory is a little foggy that far back).

Hi,
Yes, this feature was removed from Windows 7. Now you just can open multiple files which are the same type at once.

Creating pdf from multiple docs in PS8

i need to create a multi page PDF docs from multiple docs using photoshop elements 8. source docs will be other formats (e.g. MS WORD), but i could convert to pdf.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you can open Writer (the word processing/text module) and use it like a blank word document. You can copy and paste from other sources, import image files, tables and objects and save as PDF.

How to open Multiple session

I am trying to OPEN multiple SESSION for same application and unable to do this using FIREFOX 7.01
R 12(Oracle E-Business Suite), we are using FIREFOX for several clients to open the applciation. But i cannot open different session of same applcaition. it is ONLY opening singel JAVA form. In IE 8 or 9, i can do - NO MERGE option or File>New Session option. Is there some workaround for this. I am using Windows 7.

Hi,
When you run the form in the browser, it opens a new database session. For sharing the same session, you need to open/call/new form within the form itself.
For using same JVM, you can use the [JVM Pooling|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/jvm.htm] feature (assuming you are on forms >= 10.1.2).
