Acrobat 9 dosen´t ask me for the file name!

hi,
i have problem with Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac.
Adobe PDF Printer doesen´t ask for filename. All Pdf´s save on my Desktop!
i tested with Textedit, Word 2004 and Vectorworks 2009.
My System is iMac intel 2,16 MHZ, OSX 10.4.11, 2GB Ram.
Thx for Help

I had the same problem with installing Acrobat Pro 9.0. You have to remove any previous versions of Acrobat including the printer drivers in order to get the new installation to work properly. Once you have done that either run the repair function or reinstall then you will see Adobe PDF 9.0 as the Adobe printer in the printer drop-down list in the print window.

Ask for the file name when printing on XP x64

I have just installed my CS3 on Windows XP x64. Installation was successful and all is working fine. But there are few things which are working differently and I can not find any way to fix it.
One of the problems I have is that I can not have it so that I will be asked for the name of the PDF file created. It simply goes through and allocates name of the file used for printing. It happens for all applications i.e. Word, Excel, InDesign, Corel. In my automatic processes I realy need to be prompted for the file name / location. Is it possible to modify some settings to have it under XP x64 ??? I hope it is.
Thanks for advise.
Tony

I would like to add few details which may help to find the source of the problem.
When I will select Adobe PDF as a printer, then click on Properties and select
Prompt for Adobe PDF filename
in Adobe PDF Output Folder then printing starts and will not progress at all. If I will change the Adobe PDF Output Folder to local it prints OK but is not asking for the file name / destination.
How I can have it printing and asking for the file name / destination ? Or maybe on XP x64 it is not possible at all ?

Tony

When I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?

Make sure that '''''Print to File''''' isn't selected in the native print dialog box ''(see screenshot below)'' middle-right, and make sure your Printer is selected at the top of that dialog box.
''I'm a little confused why an email attachment would need to go directly to the printer, but that's what you asked about.''

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Sender file adapter - Can I use *.xml for the file name

Hi Gurus,
I have some interfaces where I need to pick the file from a directory. The name of the file will have Data<i>time stamp</i> as the naming convention. Can I use *.xml to pick up my files from this directory?
The help.sap.com documentation says that we can use this naming convention.
<b>
● File Name
Specify the name of the file that you want to process. The name can contain placeholders (*, ? (placeholders for exactly one character)) so that you can select a list of files for processing.
</b>
I tried using *.xml for my file name in the communication channel, XI is not picking up this file.
Please let me know if you have the solution.
Thanks
Kalyan

Murthy,
Thanks for the reply.
I am using GuildFTP tool as my FTP server. In this tool, all the permissions were given for the file to pick up.
The status of the file is good.
Where in the file adapter configuration I have to select 'Read-only'?
The file adapter is working perfect with the exact name of the file.
Thanks
Kalyan

Upload file without asking user for the file

Hi,
I need to upload a file to server, but from my code, not using the file upload from page.
I have created a xml file and I need to upload to server when user open a web browser (without asking user to select a file).
How do I proceed??, or what kind of libraries do I must use?
thanks

Hi,
thanks for answer.
Let me try to explain again (I think its very simple).Simple, yes. But not very thorough.
I have developed a web application using JSF.So all the code is running on the server, right? There are no Applets, Applications or WebStart applications involved. Right?
My application has a splash screen where I show data. I have developed a bean to connect to my database (sql server), extract this data and create an xml (using DOM) file like:
<news>
<simplenews id="1"> Value </simplenews>
</news>And that bean runs ... where? Server again?
(important step) Once I have created the xml file in my bean I want to upload to the server to a place like /WEB-INF/news.
If the code is running on the server, then "uploading" is the wrong term, as there's nowhere to upload to, since you're already on the server.
This may sound like nit-picking, but you're sending us on a wrong trail with this phrase.
Once the file is on the server with another bean I read the xml fileWhy don't you simply store it in the application scope and let everyone access it from there? It doesn't sound as if the XML is huge.
As you can see I haven't a web page where to show an upload file componetYou also don't want to "upload" anything from the client, from the sound of it.
You simply want to transfer data between to server-side components, if I understood you correctly.

Anyone know the syntax for printing-to-file for the file name in windows? Tried the following and it did not work...C:\Documents and Settings\Cal\My Documents\FolderForPrinting but I also put it in small quotes.

Two issues I think.
One is how a file is specified to print to.
Second is how directories with spaces are allowed, and the detail for allowing spaces in directory or file names.
This is an XP operating system from Windows.
Firefox is the browser.

Adobe InDesgin CS6 "The networks connection was lost for the file, name of file, or the file was modified by another process. Then the document just spins and spins until we force quit. Very frustrating. What can we do to fix this?

Running on Mac OS X 10.9.4 and InDesign CS6.

Are you opening a file from a file server? It sounds like you connection with the server was broken, or there is a problem with the server configuration.
When happens if you reboot, reopen InDesign, and open a file on your local hard drive?

Is there a way to alter the file name given to the attachments in an email button?

When ever I click the standard email button, I get an attachement with random alfa and numeric characters for the file name. Is there any way to change the files names to match a data field in the form or start with something I choose?
Thanks,
Judy

Hi RudyLou36,
While viewing the form in Preview TAB of LC Designer you will always get the junk characters as the name of the file. Save the file and open it in Acrobat or Reader.
You won't be able to change the filename unless you save the file first. Here (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681) is an example of a number of ways to deal with parts of the email programatically.

How to I find the file name of a photo in iPhoto '11?

I am trying to simply find the actual file name of any photo in iPhoto 2011, so when searching for a specific file in other programs, I can look for it directly. I am fairly new to OS X, and so this might be very easy to others, however I thought I would simply ask.
I am working with a MacBook Pro, without a retina display, running OS X Lion 10.7.4.
Thanks!

I recently had to re-index my harddrive because of a similar reason (search results not populating accurately, even though the files were there) and so I am beginning to wonder. Consider something as easy as adding a photo to my profile here was tough because when searching for the file name I could not locate the appropriate photo. Although I used your suggestion (make a copy on desktop), and then select it directly, it would be much easier to search in the "upload" window, i.e. finder, and then move on.
Thanks again for your help!

Finder changes the file name in Save/Save As dialogue box

Whenever I save or save as a file, the dialogue box opens, but when I make the file list active when using a mouse, the file name I click to changes the file name I am saving. I simply want to activate the file list window so I can find the right folder. For example if I am looking for a folder called "Receipts" I want to be able to click on the file list window to activate it and then type the first 2 letters of the folder-- "re" and then save the file in that folder. The finder keeps changing the name of the current file whenever I click on one of the "greyed-out" file names? This doesn't make sense unless of course I want to replace that file.
Is there a shortcut that makes the file list window in the dialogue box active while in the SAVE/SAVE AS dialogue box??

Yes, this example of horrible UI design has been a problem since "Panther". It illustrates what happens when you try to copy UI behaviour from another OS, do it poorly, and end up with a mess. In 10.3 and 10.4, the combination of the renaming behaviour with the default "replace" selection in the resulting save can result in data loss.
Compared to the old Mac OS where a tab would flip the focus between the text field for the file name and the file browser, the current behaviour either doesn't allow enough keyboard access to controls, or with "full access" enabled, too many to cycle through easily. The inability to switch focus to the file browser using the mouse (depending on the view) is a horrible productivity loss. Having to recheck the filename before saving is a horrible productivity loss. Since there is no "undo" for the renaming in most files, having to retype the name is again, a horrible productivity loss.
If they had done it right (a simple change, like requiring a modifier to rename), users would probably welcome the "rename" feature as a useful addition. Instead, it has the feel of something a junior Windows-trained programmer slipped in past their supervisor.
In short, I am not aware of any workaround or hack to avoid this "renaming" behaviour. I doubt it will do any good since people have been doing so since "Panther", but you could try submitting feedback:

Changing the file name of photo in Finder.

I need to change the file name of my photos. I have changed the settings so that they show on iPhoto as 001, 002 etc - but I need this information to also be set in Finder. Is this possible?
NikiKL

No - iPhoto is a photo database and it controls the files - you can not - in fact must not (if you make any changes in the structure or content of the iPhoto library you will corrupt it and lose data) -- and there is no reason to - you have full access to your files - <a href-"http://web.me.com/larryhn/iPhoto08_(version_7.x.x)_FAQ/Accessing_iPhotoPhotos.html"> click here for a discussion of the many ways to properly and safely access your photos -- and you can always export them using the title for the file name to have them outside iPhoto with any name you desire

Reading a File by Knowing a part of the file name

Hi Java Gurus,
Can I copy a file to another location by knowing a part of the file name.I know the extension of the file and part of the file name.Can I copy such a file to another directory?
Eg :
0099999999_JAPPLIC_20090320.pdf is the file name.
I know the file name contains 'JAPPLIC' .Can I use this clue and the extension of the file to copy the file to another directory.
Please let me know whether it is possible or not.
Regards,
Rakesh.

Hi ,
I used the below code and I was able to solve the problem.I was able to select the files of the required extension and serach for the file names containing the text I know and use such files and move to another directory.It may be helpfulk to you people
public class FileDeletion {
public static void main (String args[]) {
     String e = "";
     String d = "C:\\TCCTouchpoints\\Attachments_Export\\outbound";
     String newFileLoc = "C:\\TCCTouchpoints\\Attachments_Export\\move";
ExtensionFilter filter = new ExtensionFilter(e);
File dir = new File(d);
File newLoc = null;
String[] list = dir.list(filter);
if (list.length == 0) return;
System.out.println("File Length "+list.length);
ArrayList fileNames = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
/*file = new File(d + list);
boolean isdeleted = file.delete();
System.out.print(file);
System.out.println( " deleted " + isdeleted);*/
     System.out.println(list[i]);
     if(list[i].contains("_F5029.03_")){
          fileNames.add(list[i]);
          //System.out.println(list[i]);
dir = null;
for(int i=0;i<fileNames.size();i++){
     dir = new File(d+"\\"+fileNames.get(i));
     newLoc = new File(newFileLoc+"\\"+fileNames.get(i));
     if(dir.renameTo(newLoc)){
          System.out.println(dir + " is moved to "+ newLoc);
     }else {
          System.out.println("***** " dir " is not moved to "+ newLoc);
     dir = null; newLoc = null;
for(int i=0;i<list.length;i++){
     dir = new File(d+"\\"+list[i]);
     dir.delete();
class ExtensionFilter implements FilenameFilter {
private String extension;
public ExtensionFilter( String extension ) {
this.extension = extension;
public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
return (name.endsWith(extension));
Thanks for replying .......

The Acrobat updater keeps on asking me for a password, but it does not accept my Apple ID or my Adobe password. What password do you folks want?

The Acrobat updater keeps on asking me for a password, but it does not accept my Apple ID or my Adobe password. What password do you folks want?

I'm guessing it needs a password to update your system - that is, the administrator password. Most software needs this when you install it.
This is the password you (or someone) chose when you first switched on your computer.

Please help me fix this problem it's driving me crazy. I have tried installing and reinstalling photoshop EXTENDED several time and each time i lunch it ask me for the serial number in which i entered it once entered nothing happens
