Acrobat 9 Pro - Combine files dialog box - order of files

Hi! For my job, I need to combine files into a single PDF that are numbered a certain way, but the way Acrobat orders these files mixes them up when I try to sort by name. For example, it orders them as 09-12167-1, 09-12167-10, 09-12167-11 and so on. Is there a way I can change the order? Or do I have to rename them? 09-12167-001, 09-12167-002, 09-12167-003 etc. orders things the right way.
Thanks for your response!

Prior to the last upgrade to Adobe Pro 8.0, we were able to select multiple files in Windows explorer and then right mouse click and select the "Combine supported Files..." and the Combine window would open.
After the last update this functionality stopped working. You would select the 2-3....files and click on the "Combine..." option and nothing would happen. No errors, no combine screen, nothing.
I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro 9.0 and it does the same thing on one machine and on another it works fine.
Does anyone know of a setting or parameter that would cause this behavior?
Thanks
Lee

    One thing I've learned since OSX 10.2 is that Mac is finicky about printer drivers too.
    I had a Lexmark and it would freeze all the time after I switched to Panther. It was a discontinued model so when I moved up to 10.3 there were no new drivers. The old ones installed OK but they would cause it to freeze up and if it did print, it took about ten minutes to get through a page of text.
    I got a new printer and one tht had current drivers available for Mac and the problem was solved.
    It seems we fight a never-ending battle with hardware and software racing to stay ahead of each other.
    Yes I've owned three printers since owning my first Mac an SE 30 I started out with a Apple ImagewriterII (made C-Itoch).  I had to switch when I bought a 7100/66 which used the PowerPC processor instead of the 68030 processors. Then I had a HP DJ 650cse which used a Black Cartridge only. No color. I had to change again When I bought my G4-500. I am still using it today. Its the best printer I've had so far. I fear when I buy a new Intel Mac, and comes with X.6 (Snow Leopard) I will have to swap again. I've seen the new HP DeskJets and the won't last as long this one.  They look like cheap toys and (gulp!) they use heads built like in epson not the Cartridges.  The Cartridges were more expensive. But each time you bought one you got a new set of print heads. No longer.

  • File Dialog Box often takes a long time to execute

    Hi all
    The Labview File Dialog Box Express VI sometimes takes 5 to 10 seconds to execute. On other occasions, it executes in a blink of an eye. Why is that so?
    I have tried to use the older Open/Create/Replace File VI as suggested in one of the forum's posts...but it behaves exactly the same way. Another problem is the trimming of the filename, which has also been reported and has NOT YET been solved.
    (By the way...Recently, I updated to LV 2012 SP2 by suggestion of the NI Update Manager, only to find out that I was not entitled to this SP (which apparently only includes bug fixes) and I will have to roll back to LV 2012. Still,  in the evaluation version I can see that the bug is not fixed. Labview must have a lot of serious bugs for NI to ask for a paid bug fix, in which some bugs remain after having been reported a long time ago..well...)
    What worries me now is that intermittent lag in the execution of the File Dialog (such a basic basic function of a program...). Anyone have any idea about this? The support menu said "Ask an engineer"...any of the NI engineers has any suggestion?

    The file dialog is provided by the OS, so if it is slow it is not LabVIEW's fault.
    What kind of computer do you have? Is this a laptop that spins down the HD to save power? In this case it needs to wait for the HD to spin up. (You can change the windows power profile or you can spend more money and get an SSD).
    Are you very low on memory?
    Does your LabVIEW program waste 100% CPU in parallel doing nothing due to bad coding?
    Are you pointing to a location that has millions of files?
    Are you pointing to a network location?
    helder:---------------------------------------
    I understand that the File Dialog is provided by the OS. But I have other applications on my PC and this doesn't happen - just in Labview. Sorry! And sometimes it
    doesn't happen. Every 10 times I open the File dialog Box, 5 times it takes long and 5 times it is immediate.
    (I am not low on memory, my coding is not bad>-look at the VI I sent, it just contains the fragment which uses the File Dialog Box and it behaves the same way! I am pointing to the same location that the other applications point to, I am not pointing to a network location, the PC is not spinning the disk down, etc etc.)
    But yes, I will try it on another PC
    (There was another post on the forum on this issue, but can't seem to find it now, just find my own post )
    I attach a video demo of what happens.

    What problem is that? Can you elaborate? There is a known bug in the windows dialog box that sometimes the pre-filled file names are shifted and not fully visible. This is a windows bug documented by Microsoft and LabVIEW has no control over it. It is not NIs job to fix OS problems.
    helder:-------------------------------------------
    Of course you can't fix the OS.
    If it is a windows bug, we will have to live with it.
    A previous post on your forum did not provide me with that information (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/File-dialog-trimmi​ng-the-default-name/td-p/2189874). The fact that it is a windows bug was not mentioned there.

    Patches are included, service packs are not included. I think this is well documented. Most users are on SSP, this way you are always entitled to the newest version.
    As with anything else, software has bugs. It is impossible to test a huge, complex system like LabVIEW under all scenarios. The possible number of combinations of hardware and other installed software on any particular computer probably exceeds the number of atoms in the universe. It is actually amazing how few bugs there are and how well it works. What "bug" are you talking about? Bugs are prioritized according to rules. Critical bugs are typically fixed very quickly. A cosmetic issue that only affects you and nobody else will take longer or might not even get fixed. Are you talking about a confirmed bug that could be reproduced by NI? Do you have a CAR#?
    helder:----------------------------------------
    I was referring to the file-name-shifting-cosmetic-bug that the October-2012 post had indicated. But if it is a Windows-bug, NI does not have any responsibility, of
    course.
    Regarding the bugs, of course they are unavoidable.

    That sentence makes no sense! Why would the number of serious bugs depend on the cost of upgrading?? You are just rambling here....
    In an ideal world, NI would have an unlimited number of programmers that can work 24/7 to immediately fix any discovered bug. This would only be possible if all users are willing to pay an unlimited amount of money for the software. As I mentioned, bug fixes are free in the form of patches, and they come out regularly. Service packs include new features and are not free.
    helder:---------------------------------------
    "....include new features"..????
    ---->>From http://www.ni.com/labview/release-details/
    "LabVIEW 2012 Service Pack 1 is an exclusive update to LabVIEW 2012 for NI Standard Service Program (SSP) customers. There are no new product features introduced in service pack releases; instead, these releases provide bug fixes and improved stability for LabVIEW 2012. For a list of these bug fixes, click here."
    No new features, just bug fixes!"
    Moreover: If it isn't free, it shouldn' have let me update if I am not a SSP costumer.
    Now I have a 45 days evaluation version. After that, I have to uninstall and reinstall everything.That takes some time and effort.
    If there is a more direct way of rolling back t the previous version, please let me know.
    Thank you

  • How do I get back to the newest file dialog box style in LabVIEW?

    I have LabVIEW 7.1 and LabVIEW 6.0.2 installed on the same machine.  When I doubleclick a .vi file it tries to open in LV602.  Of course, if it is a LV71 VI I get an error and it doesn't open.  Then I run LV71 and load the desired VI--in this case by using the Open arrow to find it in the "recently opened" list.  Now, I've made this mistake before, especially when I don't remember whether I used LV602 or LV71 to create the VI, and nothing bad has happened.
    But this time something undesirable did happen:  all Open File dialog boxes are of the old funky style.  How do I get the file dialog boxes back that I've grown used to seeing when I use LV71?
    CLUES:
    1.  I get the old style dialog box even when I try to open a VI--not just when a running VI invokes it.
    2.  The built version of the VI brings up the correct, new style, file dialog box--unlike the development environment.
    I haven't found any settings in the options area that would appear to affect the file dialog box style.  Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

    NI-DAQ has usually been working fine in

    important is the order of installation. Start first with the lowest
    LabVIEW version and install the latest NI-DAQ that supports that
    LabVIEW version. Then go to the next LabVIEW version and install again
    the latest NI-DAQ version that supported this LabVIEW version and so
    on. I'm regularly working with 6.1 up to 7.1 and starting with 8.0
    slowly and haven't had real show stoppers yet.

  • Open File Dialog Box (JS)

    I know that in order to open a file dialog box and get a file I have to use this code:
    myFile = File(File.openDialog("Import XML","XML Files: *.xml"))
    This is what I use to open XML files. Now I want to be able to open a folder based on the label of the textFrame. I can get the label and build the file path. How can I open a dialog box that already points to a specific folder? Also, how can I check with the script if there are files within the folder?
    Thanks,

  • Open file dialog box - Excel 2011

    Not sure if this is the right forum to ask a question about running Office 2011 under Mavericks.
    Since upgrading to OSX 10.9, something very odd seems to have happend to the open file dialog box in Excel. The list of the files in the current folder is displayed, but the filename column is really narrow showing just 7 characters of each name. In contrast the date modified column is incredibly wide. I can manually adjust the filename column to make it wider so I can read the filenames, but each time I reopen Excel it has defaulted back to being very narrow.
    Does anyone know if there a preference setting somewhere that I can change in order to make the width default to something more readable so I don't have to manually change it every time I want to open a file. The Word and Powerpoint open dialog boxes appear normal, so the problem seems to be confined to Excel.
    I had been running the same version of Office 2011 under Snow Leopard and the change to Excel only appeared after upgrading the OSX 10.9.

  • Deleting text in a file dialog box via simulated keyboard strokes

    I am trying to delete text in a file dialog box via simulated keyboard strokes, but the key combination of SHIFT down - HOME - END - SHIFT up does not highlight the text as expected. I attach an example vi that opens its own file open box, enters a text string, which it should subsequently delete. But it is not deleting the text as expected. What do I need to change?
    Attachments:
    Test_Delete_Text_in_File_Dialog_Box.vi ‏40 KB

    Pbuerki,
    It looks like you are doing all the keystrokes correctly. My only guess as to why it is not highlighting is that the keybd_event function does not support advanced key code commands. The function is outdated and has been superseded. See the follow MSDN link for more information: MSDN keybd_event.
    There are probably some easier ways to accomplish your overall objective. What are you trying to do? Do you simply want to programmatically open a file?
    Have a nice day!

  • I would like to replace the file dialog box with a programmab​le dialog box, that generates its selections from Database Informatio​n

    Where would be the best place to achieve this?
    I have been thinking about these options:
    - Modification of the Operator Interface.
    - Modification of the Sequence Model.
    - Use callbacks to modify the sequence model.
    - Use callbacks to modify the Engine (ie the Auto.seq example)
    Or combinations of the above.
    The biggest requirement I have in developing this project is in the reuse of code and I believe that callbacks in the seq would be the way to achieve this.
    But I am not familiar with the usage of callbacks in teststand (yet) and I don't know where to look for information/examples on what I can do with them.
    Has anybody done anythin
    g similar?
    Any suggestions would be great!
    Tim

    I am trying to replace the operators interface's sequence file dialog box. I am also trying to hide the standard operators interface.
    What I am after is to replicate a user experience!
    Teststand is being used to replace an ATE written in LV where each of the tests are hardcoded in. The user selected the product and test types from a button based dialog boxes.
    I am using TS to overcome all of the limitations of the original ATE, but one of the requirements is the system has to have the same look and feel of the original.
    I originally though that I would have to modify an operators interface, but I would prefer not too, and would rather change the process models and use engine and station callbacks.
    If I have to change an operatos interface, I would pre
    fer if the changes didn't affect the normal running of standard TS sequences.
    I have attached the process model, i am trying to achieve, (its in Visio).

  • Suppressing error 8 occurred at open file dialog box

    Hello,
    I am getting randomly occurring "error 8 occurred at open file" dialog
    boxes every couple of days. This is stopping all of the data collection
    on all of the vi's on the pc. In order to continue all that is needed
    to hit continue. Is there a way to suppress this dialog box?

    There's a vi called Clear Error, in the Dialog and User Interface section of the palette.  If you wire the error out of the offending vi to the error in of the clear error, your problem should be solved.
    Technically I think you can wire the error out to just about anything that ends (as in, to the side of a case structure or loop or something, so long as nothing is connected to it further).  I think as long as LV thinks that you've handled the error (i.e. wired anything out of the error out), the dialog box does not come up.

    Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1.  An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6.  If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates.  If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

  • Please fix: Common Open File Dialog Box to support Favorites (Follow-up: Better provisioning in the Windows client)

    One more thing:
    What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
    Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
    On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
    Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
    Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
    Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
    What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

  • How to create a custom file dialog box/vi (win)??

    Hello,
    I'd like to create a custom file dialog box to handle the reading of my tdms files. Basicly I want to extend the existing file select dialog box with a graphical preview of the data in the selected file. I know I can create all the logic for file selection by hand and use a list box to display the filelist, but I would rather prefer to somehow use the existing windows controls. So is it possible to get the windows file selector on the front panel of a vi and react to the user selection? If so, is there any example available on how to do this? Any other options? I'm using labview 8.2
    thanks for your input!

    I wouldn't know that Microsoft provides access to the controls that Explorer and file dialog consist of.
    There might be a different and more powerful solution though. The
    WINDOWS Explorer / file dialog have a plugin API that allows you to
    associate your own application for thumbnail creation with a particular
    file extension. That way, TDMS thumbnails will show in any instance of
    Explorer and
    File Dialog without you having to make your own dialog. Basically, you
    would need to compile the VI that creates the thumbnail into a
    LabVIEW-built DLL and then wrap this DLL with some C++ boilerplate code
    that Microsoft provides. You might want to have a look at the bottom of
    this article to get an idea of how the whole thing works:

    Hope that helps,

  • File dialog box: how get full path and filename (firefox 3.0 problem)

    Hi,
    I have a smilar problem then discussed in this thread: file dialog box: how get  full path and filename
    Now this solution doesn't seem to work in firefox 3.0,I only get the filename but not the full path.
    I have tried to solve this problem by adding *"netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");"* in a javacript function but that doesn't do the trick
    Although when i tested it local it does work.
    Any idees how to solve this?
    Best Regards
    Stijn

    Actually, that is strange and scarry. With 20% of the browser market share they decide to behave like Microsoft did in the past - they want to decide what users need and what they do not need. With 3.0 I have a real problem with some of my applications. They are all tested in IE6, IE7, FF2.0 and they all work the same way (they even work with Opera and Safari). Now, I will for sure not go there and make it work for 3.0, just because 2 out of 200 users use FF3.0. Up to now I have always recomended FF as the best browser. 3.0 causes my opinion to change completely. Competition is always good but it is a question if it is good if we have 20 different browsers out there with equal market shares.
