Acrobat 5.0 How do I keep the original file name after I have converted a Word doc to PDF?

MY colleague has a certain setting in Acrobat that allows him to keep the original file name when he converts documents from Word to PDF. Every time I convert Word, Acrobat overwrites the filename and names it "untitled.pdf". I would like to retain the original name and for Acrobat to simply add the .pdf file extension to the original name. How do I do this?

I have no idea what you are doing for sure. Does your WORD document have a name. I opened a WORD document and selected the Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5, I got the file menu for selecting the name and it was automatically filled in with the DOC changed to PDF. If you are using PDF Maker, then you will need to search there - I removed PDF Maker for AA5 years ago and can't view that part. I see the same types of options in PDF Maker for AA8.1.2 as I saw in the printer for AA5 and guess it is the same. The untitled.pdf suggests that you never saved the original DOC file so it has a name.

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

Hi Glenyse,
Here are my steps.
1. I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
2. I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
3. I enter the recipient's email address.
4. The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
5. The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
6. The image opens up to its own screen.
7. The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
Here is the part I do not understand. For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name. So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

Michaelp70541244. I have converted a word doc. to pdf, but none of the fonts are embedded.

Anyone know the answer?

Hi michaelp70541244,
What did you use to convert the Word doc to PDF? Regardless of the method you used, however, some fonts will never be embedded, if licensing for those fonts restricts it.
Best,

How can I get the Voice memo's source computer file to keep the original file name?

I ran out of space in my iPhone some weeks ago and I've been cleaning up. I am pretty much done deleting the photos and apps. The only thing I need to finish is erasing my voice memos. I already synced my music/voice memos with my computer, the only problem is that when I get the files from the iTunes media it changes the name and makes it extremely hard to organize. I want to upload this files to another website so I can access them freely.
I would REALLY appreciated if anyone could tell me how to fix this or if you have another method please tell me.

This is pretty straightforward.
If the file isn't too big you can just read the entire file contents:
set fileContents to read file "HD:path:to:the:file.txt"
Once you've read it in, you can iterate through it with a repeat loop like:
repeat with eachParagraph in (paragraphs of fileContents)
-- code here to process each line
end repeat
Within the loop, eachParagraph represents each successive line in the file, so all you need to do is pull out the data you want. Now your subject says that your file is tab-delimited, but your example uses commas, so you may need to adjust this script depending on what's actually the case:
set my text item delimiters to tab -- or "," as appropriate
set firstName to text item 1 of eachParagraph
set lastName to text item 2 of eachParagraph
set emailAddr to last text item of eachParagraph
-- rest of code here to send an email
The last thing to do is to reset the 'text item delimiters' to their previous value so you don't end up getting confused.
So, putting that all together you end up with something like:
set fileContents to read file "HD:path:to:the:file.txt"
set oldTIDs to my text item delimiters -- additional code to remember the current TIDs
set my text item delimiters to tab -- or ","
repeat with eachParagraph in (paragraphs of fileContents)
set firstName to text item 1 of eachParagraph
set lastName to text item 2 of eachParagraph
set emailAddr to last text item of eachParagraph
-- rest of code here to send an email
end repeat
set my text item delimiters to oldTIDs -- restore the TIDs for cleanliness
Note that this should work for reasonably-sized files (up to a few thousand records). If it's much more than that you may need something a little more sophisticated to read the file progressively rather than all at once.

How do I retain the original file name when using Compressor?

Hello,
I am in the process of doing a batch export and would like to keep everything identical to the source material, including the name. There is quite a bit of footage so deleting the "-Apple ProRes 422 for Progressive material" addition can be time consuming.
Any suggestions?
I found this thread:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2369070
but even though I read it more than 10 times I could not set a "custom" path in my destination options.
I only have the following options available from the pulldown:
-Cluster Storage
-Desktop
-Source
-Users movie folder
Any help is greatly appreciated.

As was mentioned in the thread you linked to, the easiest way is to create a custom Destination. Here are some step-by-step instructions:
1. Click the Destinations tab.
2. Click the plus sign in the upper right and choose "Local..."
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19589/Compressor%20Custom%20Destination.png
3. Navigate to or create your destination folder. Click "Open" to select the destination.
At this point, you've created a new custom destination. To select it, click the disclosure triangle next to the "Custom" folder. This is where all of your custom destinations are located.
4. Select the custom destination you want to use for your batch.
5. In the inspector, you'll see a box where you can change the "Output Filename Template". By default, it'll just have "Source File Name". If that's all you want, then press return.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19589/Compressor%20Destination%20Inspector.png
Now, when you go back to your batch window and apply this custom destination to your job settings, Compressor will apply the Output Filename Template to your filenames. Basically, it will get rid of the setting name (as long as you only have "Source File Name" in the Filename Template.
Hope this helps.

When I try to save an email attached file, the file name is automatically convertied to "attachment.ashx" although the correct file type is recognized. How do I retain the original file name?

This problem occurred after the most recent update to firefox 8.0.
After right clicking on the attached file, I click on save link as.
The correct file type is recognized. However the file name is converted to "attachment.ashx".
When I rename the file, it downloads properly and is opened by the appropriate program.
However, I should not have to rename each downloaded file.
In particular, this is happening with Word files and with Scientific Notebook (.tex) files.

Cor-el, thank you for your advice. I was able to navigate to my Profile Folder and I deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file. I then closed Firefox and restarted it. The problem was still there, and I found that the mimeTypes.rdf file had been re-created.
I tried your second suggestion, but the files you mentioned were not present so there was nothing to reset.
Any other suggestions?

How do I keep the original pre-RAW preview exposure ?

IF I understand it when I imort a RAW "NEF file from my Nikon, LIghtroom shows a preview that is a jpeg exposre, something equivalent to a point and shoot photo. Then after processing the info from the RAW file, it shows the unprocessed image. Typically, this image for me becomes unsaturated and less colorful. Although I want to process "some" of my photos, I like some of the point and shoot images, and I'm wondering how do you keep the original exposiure that LIghtroom shows before showing the RAW unprocessed image?
When I'm taking photos just to archive a thing, I like the advanced point and shoot saturated image. When I want to be artistic, I prefer to process them myself. Is there a setting that will allow me to keep the preview look?

Aside from what Lee Jay said (which is technically accurate) the best thing you can do is to learn how to quickly make image adjustments and if you find you are making the same adjustments all the time, create a preset or consider making a new Default tone/color adjustment for your images. The fact is that the EFIX JPEG is the camera maker's interpretation of the raw image. It's neither accurate nor sacrosanct. It's simply a different rendering of your raw data. You can look at using different DNG profiles (in the Camera Calibrate panel) to alter the color rendering and adjust your tone controls to taste and make a preset or a new Default.
But in answer to your main question can you use those JPEG previews as a basis for LR, no other than you make the manual adjustments yourself...

How do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager?

how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also

Not sure you can.
Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

ITunes no longers asks "Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?" - Can this be fixed?

I'm not sure if this was a recent update in Mavericks, but when I used to delete items from iTunes it would ask something along the lines of:
Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?
Now I no longer get this, instead iTunes asks:
Are you sure you want to delete the selected song from your iTunes library?
After which, if you choose the option "Delete Song", you get no option to keep the original file, it just straight up deletes if from my library and hard drive. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? For whatever reason, I want to be able to keep the original file on my Mac, without keeping it in my iTunes library.
I've tried resetting dialogue warning, and this hasn't made a difference.
Thanks!
