Acrobat is forcing user to rename files in order to save edits

I have been using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for awhile to create, edit, and save PDF files. Starting yesterday, Adobe is forcing me to rename each PDF before any edits can be saved to existing PDF files. Can anyone help me to understand why this is happening and how I can fix it? I want to be able to save a PDF as needed without having to rename it. I have found that others in the forum have had the same problem, but I have not found any threads where an answer is offered. Please help!

Make sure you disable the Preview panel in Windows Explorer.

Move, delete, or rename files in Open or Save As Dialog box

I want to be able to rename, delete or move a file when I am in an Open or Save As dialog box. Sometimes when I am opening a file or saving a new file I spot an existing file that needs to be renamed, moved to a folder or even deleted. In Windows I would just take care of that file and then keep going with what I was doing in the first place. This doesn't seem to work in Mac OSX. I have to stop, go to a Finder window, go to the location, do what I want to do to the file and then go back to the Open or Save As dialog box. There's go to be a better way in the "world's most advanced operating system." Ideas?

How do I get PSE10 to import and rename files in order?

When I place my CF card into the reader PSE opens and displays all the photos on the card the problem is they are out of order. I take volleyball photos and use the burst often The files are numbered properly by the camera but PSE seems to get them mixed up. When I import and renamer them PSE thakes them in the order they are shown and they are then renumbered out of order causind many shots to be out of order. I have never had this problem before. I have been using PSE 6 up thru 10 now and this is the first time I have had this happen. Last season I wasusing PSE9 and all my bursts sequences are in purfect order.
Am I missing something in the settings?

Hi,
The problem I have is with the PSE Organizer "Photo Downloader". When I
plug the CF card from my camera into the card reader on the computer the
"downloader" opens up and shows thumbnails of the files on the card. At
this point the files are out of order based on the file numbers applied
by the camera. I.e.: one sequence looks like this-
11,12,16,15,14,13,17,18; where 12 thru 16 were a burst. Another
sequence- 121,120,125,124,122,123; all one burst. As you can see they
are out of order. I tried leaving the card in the camera and the same
thing happens. If I view the photos in /on the camera they are in the
right order. What has been happening is that I rename and number the
files as I import them. When that happens the files get numbered in
sequence as to how they are seen in the "downloader"....this means in
the examples shown 16 would become 13; 15 becomes 14 ect. This ends up
mixing up any sequence of shots.
Once I have the RAW files imported I import them to Lightroom 4 to do
most of my processing. Here if I choose to arrange by time created I can
get them in the right order but because the files are rearranged into
the correct order and since I renamed them on importing the file numbers
are now out of order. After figuring out what the problem was I can now
import the files to lightroom without renaming > arrange by time or file
name> rename> and all seems to be OK. My question is I never had this
problem before and it was very nice to be able to rename the files at
import and be done with it.
I haven't had time to check into it but one thing I'm wondering is is
there a way to rename the files at import without changing the file
number? Is there a way to insert the date and text while keeping the
IMG_Number....i.e IMG001 becomes 2012 09 15_Volleyball_0001 keeping the
original file number and only inserting a date/name? This would solve
the whole problem as I could then arrange by file name and all would be
well.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Why does photoshop automatically rename file names when using save for web?

All of a sudden when choosing Save for Web, when i type in a name for my file in the File Name: dialog box, when you click "save", it saves the selected slices as the name of the document and not what i typed.
For example: My psd file is called "website header" and i want to save the slices with the name "index". If i save slice-02 or slice-06 it will save as "index_02.jpg" but if i choose slice 01, it will save as "website-header_01"

Check your settings in the SfW output options and yopur slice names in PS itself.

How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"?

How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"? I want the users to type in a fillable form, but not save their edits on the original form. I want them to be able to save with a different file name.

You can't really force it, but you can encourage it... For example, you can set the file as read-only and add an instruction to do so before the file is saved using a script.

Acrobat 11 pro (Creative Cloud master collection licence) doesn't save files changes only from the network and a user profile. We can't recreate the user profile due other programs setting

Steps to reproduce bug:
1. edit .pdf file from MS network (i.e a share).
1.1 Browsing the network.
1.2 Once that the file is found.
1.3 Select the file, right click and select edit with Adobe Acrobat".
2. save changes.
Results:
I get message box "document could not save because write access was not granted. only read"
Expected results: I have to save the file because the user has all rights file’s security.
Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance
Enrico

First, you should ask in Acrobat
The Cloud forum is not about using individual programs
The Cloud forum is about the Cloud as a delivery & install process
If you will start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
You will be able to select a forum for the specific Adobe product(s) you use
Click the "down arrow" symbol on the right (where it says All communities) to open the drop down list and scroll
Second, different program, but what helps with SOME permission errors is in the link below

Users w/least privileges in Acrobat Standard can't create PDF files. Could this be security setting?

Trying to find out where Acrobat stores its temp files while creating/printing a new PDF and if it is possible to tell the program to use another location. My guess, and I could definitely be wrong, is that our Sys Admins have locked users from writing into this temp folder. Additionally security audit logs are filled quickly when users attempt to cut and paste from Acrobat. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, you should ask your sys admin to not lock this folder. This
can cause a lot of problems with many applications.
The temp folder used by Acrobat is actually not the Windows temp folder,
though, but an internal one, which can be found by executing this code in
the JS console in Acrobat:
app.getPath("user", "temp")
In my case (Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 7), it is:
/C/Users//AppData/Local/Temp/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0
It is possible, though, that applications like Distiller still use the
Windows temp folder for some other tasks.

Open File dialog user can delete and rename files.

Does any one know if there is a way to prevent a user from deleting and renaming files by right clicking on them in an Open File dialog box?

Well, the problem is that this isn't a LV dialog box. It's the standard Windows file dialog box and this is the way they work in Windows.

Restrict Users from saving files on Local PC but forced to Network Shared Location

Hi,
We have the Domain in Windows 2003 Standard.
How can I restrict users from saving files in their Local PC?
Also, need to forced them to save the files in Network Location with permissions...
Thanks.

Hi,
You can create a file screen to prevent users from saving files on a certain volume. File screens are used to block specific types of files from being saved on a volume or in a folder tree. A file screen affects all folders in the designated path. You need
to update the server to Windows Server 2003 R2 to install the File Server Resource Manager.

hi,
this object used when u are writing files to application servers ?
FU FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH
Short Text
Generate a complete file name with file name and logical path
Functionality
R/3 applications run on various hardware platforms with various file systems. This function module allows you to use platform-independent logical file names in application programs.
It returns the physical file path with the desired file name for a logical file path.
An operating system-dependent physical file path must be assigned to the logical file path for this to work for various platforms. The file name returned by the function module is derived from the physical file path of the current operating system and the file name. Place holders in the logical path are replaced at rutime by the current values.
Example
Get file names for UNIX platforms
(current system: K11)
logical path: SALES_DATA_PATH
physical path (UNIX): /usr/<SYSID>/<FILENAME>
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH'
EXPORTING
LOGICAL_PATH = 'SALES_DATA_PATH'
FILENAME = 'sales.dat'
IMPORTING
FILENAME_WITH_PATH = FILE.
Result:
FILE = /usr/K11/sales.dat
Notes
Definitions required for the platform-independent assignment of file names are maintained client-independently with the transaction FILE. This data can be listed with the transaction SF07.
Parameters
CLIENT
LOGICAL_PATH
OPERATING_SYSTEM
PARAMETER_1
PARAMETER_2

A crash of Acrobat X Professional when saving a renamed file in Finder?

Crashes every time. Create a file. Change the name in finder. Make a change to that file and try to save. Says you can't. That's ok. Close the file. It will ask you to save. Click Don't Save. Acrobat falls over every time! Not cool. This was never a problem with Acrobat 9 Prof is now. Actually it was one of the great reasons to use my Mac version rather than my Windows version. This bug needs to be fixed or it is back to Acrobat 9 Prof for me. OS 10.6.6

This is a self-answering question. I took Cocktail and cleared the Adobe caches from Pilot. Seems to be working so far. Fingers crossed. But if it happened to you, then this could be one solution.

Why Doesn't the Acrobat File Toolbar Have a "Save As" Button?

One of the most frequently used functions in Acrobat is located under the File menu where you can select "Save As" to select from a number of different file formats and then save the file in a specified folder. The File Toolbar includes a "Save" icon/button that saves only a pdf formatted file to your Documents folder (or whichever folder you specify in Preferences) instead of to whatever specific folder you might want to file that particular document. Another problem is that when you receive a pdf document by email or download it from the internet, it usually comes with a file name that you wouldn't want to use for the file. Once the file is open, you'll want to rename it and save it somewhere. However, if you have not changed the document in any way like editing or commenting, the only applicable icon on the File Toolbar, the Save button, is greyed out and can't be used until you alter the document.
As such, the easy access to the "Save" button on the File Toolbar is wasted in that it will rarely be used when it's not greyed out, and when it might be used before any editing or commenting, it remains greyed out and inaccessible. My request is to make an Icon or even just the label for "Save As" available for selection to go on the File Toolbar where it could be easily accessed. Also, let the user decide if he wants to do a save before altering a document, skip the greying out of the buttons, make them always available for use.

Unfortunately it's not a realistic possibility, because the Save As menu has two sub-levels across several nodes. A drop-down button can't handle that.

Force user to enter text if checks YES check box

I have created a form with YES and NO check boxes. If user checks YES, they need to provide written reason. Is there a way to "force" user to enter text into text box if they check the YES check box?
Thanks,
Toyro

Hi Jodi,
Yes, it has to be saved as a dynamic PDF.
Additionally, there are some name mismatches in your form so the script was failing. My script defined page 1 as 'page1' while your form defined page 1 as 'Page1'. I renamed your form page 1 to 'page1' and the script worked fine.
I would recommend enabling the debugger in Acrobat for form developement. See Edit > Preferences and enable the following:
I added an additional button with some script on the button 'click' event.
The purpose is to intervene in the submission process, in your case submitting by email. With a single submit button the email dialogue fires regardless of failed form validation. By introducing a second button you can do form validation before enabling submission. The attached form has a visible button called 'submitBtn' and your original 'Submit By Email' button which is declared as 'invisible'. My 'submitBtn' is labelled 'Submit By Email'. When the button is clicked is does form validation. If validation succeeds, I call form1.page1.Button1.execEvent("click"); to submit to the email address attached to 'Button1'.
Take a look and see if it fits your requirements.

RE: Force user to re-login if the application is idle for awhile!

Hi,
I a similar thing a little while ago for an application written in a 4gl (not Forte) running
windows 95 clients. I ended up dropping out to "C" and using the SDK to install
hooks which monitored certain mouse and keyboard events to the application.
It ended up being less than 10 lines of code in the end whereas when I tried
to do it within the 4gl it was looked like wholesale changes to lots of code.
This option fell down when the user was reading their help file or updating
a word document so we added a pop-up which came up at the front of all applications
on the PC giving the user a further minute to respond so as not to annoy the genuine
user who was still "there" but doing something else.
I have not had the chance to try this in Forte yet but it should be possible.
If you think this might be an option for you I will try and cobble together an
example.

Hi;
For some security reasons, it requires our Forte application to force user to
re-log into the application if the user doesn't use this application for 10
minutes. The problem and difficulty to us is that how to determine there is no
activity going on for this application on the client's PC.
Any thought and ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Deleting & renaming files - is there a shortcut to finder?

I am a recent convert from PC to Mac. So far so good. However, one thing starts to drive me up the wall which is deleting/renaming files in programs such as photoshop, word, excel etc.etc.
As far as I can tell, this is only possible in the finder menu. Is this Correct? I am using a lot of folders and subfolders - sometimes 3-4 levels deep. Every time I need to change/delete a file or filename - lets say while in photoshop, I have to go to finder and click my way through several levels of folders to the actual file I need to change. This is somewhat annoying and timeconsuming.
Question 1: is there a way to do these operations in - lets say photoshop directly?
Question 2: If not, is there a shortcut key that would point me automatically to the file in finder where I can make the changes?
Your input would be very helpful and save me some aggravation.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your input. You are correct as far as "save" and "save as" is concerned. Windows and Mac work the same way.
However, as far as I can tell, in Mac you can only "delete" or "rename" a file in "finder" which forces you to open up finder and locate the file in order to delete or change it.
In windows you can do these 2 functions directly in the program (such as photoshop, excel or words). You do not have to go to "explorer or root directory" to make these changes which I believe would be the equivalent of "finder".
In any case, Terence solved the problem. By command clicking the name (title) of the file in any program, it opens up the directory in "finder". This way makes it easy to select the file and do the changes.
