I want to rename a batch of ~100 bookmarks
changing words in the "name" field with search-replace
Please
(a) tell me a work-around, or
(b) program a plugin for a more advanced bookmarks editor.
thanks a lot!

You will have to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and edit that file to make the change. You need to remove all existing bookmarks before re-importing that changed file or you will have to remove all duplicates. If all the bookmarks that need to be changed are in one folder then you can remove the other bookmarks while editing.

Rename a Batch job

Dear Experts,
I want to rename a batch job using self-written report (I know that this must be done by copying and deleting the old one). Could anyone suggest a suitable approach to the topic or even present some coding that maybe already was done on your system?
Regards
Jörg

Only one option ( I know that this must be done by copying and deleting the old one).

Batch file rename. I have multiple files I want to rename, that have a date in their name in the mm/dd/yy format. The slashes seem to freak out the batch rename function. Any workarounds that would help me avoid manually changing each name?

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, Macbook Air,
Finder batch file rename function. I have multiple files I want to rename, that have a date in their name in the mm/dd/yy format. The slashes seem to freak out the batch rename function and it won't work. I took out the slashes and worked fine. Any workarounds that would help me avoid manually changing each name? I should point out that I want to leave most of the name intact just change the first word in each name. Also the files I'm working with are in PDF format.

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

Batch Processing of Bookmarks

Hello all,
I'm new to using acrobat and was hoping to get some assistance regarding the batch processing of bookmark files. Basically I want to know if it is possible to set bookmark properties using global settings all in one go, or reset the default properties of bookmarks. Currently, I have to manually set the properties of each individual bookmark by right clicking on each of them, selecting properties, changing to the actions tab, clicking edit and then setting the zoom to 'Fit Page'. I was hoping to be able to eliminate these steps if at all possible and do the entire document in one hit.
Any help at all would be very much appreciated.

Rather than using bookmarks to zoom fit page, use the page properties set action instead, this is the javascript I have done in batch processing which will do the job.
/* Zoom to Fit Page */
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0; i < numpages; i++) {
this.setPageAction(i, "Open", "this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;");
Hope this helps you.

I have been organizing my bookmarks into folders. There are a bunch of bookmarks that appear on the Bookmarks Menu that do not appear when I used the Organize Bookmarks option. Therefore I can't organize them. How do I get at them and move them to folders

I used Organize Bookmarks to put some bookmarks in folders. When I had done all the bookmarks that appeared outside of folders in the Organize Bookmarks window, I closed it and looked at my bookmarks menu. Under my folders were some other bookmarks that I hadn't seen in Organize Bookmarks and when I used it again, they still weren't visible. Therefore, I couldn't move them into folders.

Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

Batch creation of bookmarks?

I would like to add 107 bookmarks to a 250-page PDF in an automated fashion. I have a list of the bookmarks titles, pages, and their hiearchy level.
What's my best bet?
Obviously I don't want to create them by hand with New Bookmark in Acrobat Pro.
My document is not tagged, and I don't see an easy way to mass create tags (is there one?).
It appears that the Acrobat Pro scripting DOM does support creating bookmarks with the Bookmark createChild()method, but it's looking a little dicey to me how to use that straightforwardly, so if it's easy to provide a few pointers, I would be greatful.
I'd like to avoid buying a plugin (or using one on a free trial basis, since I don't really intend to buy one).
I initially planned on using pdftk's update_info functionality, but it turns out that while pdftk's dump_data subcommand dumps bookmark info, it's corresponding update command doesn't handle bookmarks at all.
I considered writing some Java code with iText and/or PDFBox, but I didn't see any good examples of exactly how to create bookmarks that point to pages, and it seemed like it might be a big pain to figure out.
I'm comfortable scripting other Adobe products in JavaScript, but I've never dealt with Acrobat.
Hopefully that sets the stage. Any advice is appreciated!
P.S.: I am confused about the forum structure here. I think this is a platform independant question, so maybe it's dumb to ask it in the Mac forum when the Acrobat Windows forum has 4x the activity? Maybe it is a Javascript question, so better asked in Acrobat Scripting? Or maybe it is better to ask on acrobatusers.com? I figured I would start here and try my luck.

If it is Acrobat 9.3.x for Mac your using, this is the right area. The reason for the difference in Traffic is according to platform use. Plus Mac people because support usually get short swift, tend to to try to figure out things for themselves.
I would be a good idea to ask this in scripting as well, since you need to use scripting.
There are things That can be done better in Mac, and there are some that can be done in PC better. And there are some things That work just as well in both.
Someone will be along to answer your other questions or direct you to proper forums.

I want to list the items on my bookmarks bar alphabetically, can I ?

I keep adding to my bookmark bar but would like to order them alphabetically, but no in separate folders as they are not easy to categorize. Is there a way ? many thanks for suggestions!

Hi ...
You can re arrange items in your Bookmarks Bar simply by dragging to the desired location.
You can alphabetize bookmarks in folders.
Click the Bookmarks icon top left corner of the Safari window
From the Safari menu bar click Bookmarks > Add Bookmark Folder
Drag the bookmarks you want to that folder. Now drag that folder to the Desktop. The Finder will automatically alphabetize the bookmarks. Then drag the folder back to the Safari window.

How can I back just some of my bookmarks? I have many folders in my Firefox bookmarks directory and only want to back up one.

I have 30 or so folders in my main bookmarks directory, and I need to export just one of them to another computer. I've tried various ways, but the entire bookmark file ends up in the export.l

Ok, found a way that works, but it's kinda inelegant. Remember, my task was how to export one of 18 favorites directories:
1) Open the Favorites Library (see above for methods).
2) Click on the "Import and Backup" menu item, select "Backup..." and follow instructions to create a backup file.
3) Back in the Favorites Library, in the left pane click on "Bookmarks Menu". You should see all of your bookmarks and bookmark folders in the right pane.
4) Click on one of them then do Ctrl-a to select all of them.
5) Holding the Ctrl key down de-select the folder(s) you wish to export.
6) With all the unwanted folders and bookmarks selected, hit the delete key.
7) Now do an export. It will contain only the folders/bookmarks you did not delete.
8) Once you verify the exported file contains what you want, go back to the Favorites Library, click on the "Import and Backup" menu, select "Restore...", navigate to your backup file and restore your Favorites.
Took longer to type the above steps than it actually takes to do it...

Why do I need to close photoshop if I want to rename or delete a folder in windows explorer.

Why does photoshop lock a folder for which it has no use. Restarting a program that take forever to open every-time I want to delete or rename a file or folder is not efficient.

I do not advise using unlocker as I wrote I have not installed it in years. If not used with good understanding on the user's part it can help them to destroy their file system. One should not mess around with files system locks. I only mentioned unlocker for I believe Windows may at time fail to do some unlock that should have been done to one reason or an other. Unlocker can if I my memory is correct identify what locks exist for a file.
These days when I run into a lock problem I first try log off and log on. I don't care what is holding the lock the log off clean up process always seem to clear up the lock causing my problem.
If one looks at what programs like unlocker can kill they should get the idea that these programs can be dangerous.
Similar programs and why Unlocker is better
Of course I only compare here the unlocking features. Process Explorer and Take Control are very good programs featuring much more things than just unlocking folders. The goal of this list is not really to pretend Unlocker is better but instead to provide a list of all other alternative programs in case you have some difficulties with Unlocker.

I have saved My Google Chrome bookmarks as HTML and want to import them into my mozilla bookmarks, when I go to import HTML it seems to load somthing but when I go back to check my bookmarks in mozilla they are not there. I would like to use mozilla more

I have saved My Google Chrome bookmarks as HTML and want to import them into my mozilla bookmarks, when I go to import HTML it seems to load something but when I go back to check my bookmarks in mozilla they are not there. I would like to use mozilla more often then Chrome so I need please help keeping my Chrome bookmarks.

@Carolyn:
Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
@andy:
“Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
After deleting (before starting Safari) it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
- are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
- are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple.

I simply want to rename my airport extreme network. Just a name change, that's all

I have the airport extreme base all set up and everything's great. However, I want to rename the network so it is less identifiable as "ours" "out there" to folks who are scanning.
Airport Utility app, I'm sure, is what I open. What do I do from there?
It was tricky setting this up--it's running great-- and I don't want to screw it up.

Open AirPort Utility
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double-click on the picture of the AirPort Extreme
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Edit the Wireless Network Name to something that is short and simple
Edit out and reenter the Wireless Network Password. You can use the same password that you used previously if you wish
Verify the password again
Click Update at the lower right of the window and allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart
Close AirPort Utility

I want to be able to clear the bookmarks on icloud and start again

i want to be able to clear the bookmarks on icloud and start again, ive tried deleteting all my favorites in ie10 and then merging, but it still keeps some.
i have cleared my iphone and stopped merging, i have deleted al my favorites and merged the empty favorites, but i have favorits that keep coming back
help

This won't be real-time as you record, but you could tweak the EQ in real-time after the recording thus:
Record what you want to tweak into GB with no effects.
Solo the track and output it into something like Audacity.
Start Audacity recording, then play your track in GB as you make those tweaks. That's what Audacity will record.
Get that file from Audacity and put it into GB, then you'll have that effect.
Sorry if it's complicated, but that's what came to mind. Hope it works.
