Adobe 9.5 deletes log files - need to turn off creation of log files

We have a bunch of files from SAS outputs that include a .sas, .rtf, .log extensions.
When we try to convert a batch of the .rtf files to PDF by right clicking on them, the .log files are deleted. The originals are not Adobe .log files, but required files from the SAS output.
I have unchecked "Delete Log Files for Successful jobs" in both Distiller and the Adobe printer preferences.
It only deletes the .log with the same name as file types associated with Word. If I create .txt or xls files and .log files with the same name (i.e. test.txt and test.log) it does not delete the .log file, but it is overwritten by the Adobe log.
This happens whether the file is local or on a mapped network drive.
If I save to a different location, the .log is not deleted or overwritten, but that is really just a workaround. It's doable if it's the only option.
They can also copy only the .rtf files to another folder and copy the .pdf files back after, but this is alot of extra work for high volumes
This is an ongoing need involving lots of files, so moving or renaming is not an option, even with batch programs.
What I really need to do is stop Adobe from creating AND deleting log files or force it to create the .log files in a different location than the original. Unless the problem is Word, but I cannot find any information on this problem.
Thanks

Hi Shay,
You are right, it would make perfect sense, however as you can see from the below forum, I was not able to solve this compilation issue..

    Hi Acacia_km,
    I believe you are only trying to install the fresh version of Creative Cloud Desktop application ? If yes, please navigate to the following location and perform the steps as mentioned .
    For Windows
    1) Navigate to : C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    2) Rename this folder to OOBE_old and try the installation of the Creative Cloud Desktop Application.
    For Mac
    1) Navigate to : /library/application support/Adobe/OOBE
    2)Rename this folder to OOBE_old and try the installation of the Creative Cloud Desktop Application.
    Do let us know if this works fine for you or if you require any further help regarding this.

  • Do I need to turn off File Vault before I erase a hard drive?

    I have a File Vault 2 password set up on my Mac, in addition to a firmware password.  I'm selling the computer, and I want to make sure everything is wiped out.
    I know how to turn off the firmware password.  However, I was wondering if I need to turn off file vault 2 before I start up the OS in recovery mode, at which point I will erase the hard drive using the 7-pass delete option in disk utility. Or do I not have to worry about that, and go ahead and boot up on the internal system HD in recovery mode to delete the HD entirely, without turning off File Vault first?
    Thanks for the help,
    Eric

    Boot from the installation disc that came with the computer and repartition the internal drive with the default options. Then install the original OS.

  • Can't watch videos it says I need to download Adobe, when I attempt it says I may need to turn off my antivirus.  How can I do this?

    For the last few days I have not been allowed to watch anything that may have a video.  It says I need an update version of Adobe and that I may need to turn off my antivirus.  Not sure how to do this.

    Download the latest adobe flash player plugin only from the adobe download site.  When you install it it installs its plugin and a Flash Player system preference.  That Flash Player system preference has an option (Advanced tab) to auto check for updates.  If enabled it will put up a dialog telling you a new update is available when adobe relaases it.  I never have that enabled so I don't know how the dialog is worded and that it actually says anything about turning off any AV stuff. 
    Do you even have any AV software running?
    You can always just download it again and reinstall to make sure you have the latest version.

  • TS1368 when downloading large files such as videos of television season do you need to turn off autolock to prevent download from halting

    when downloading large files such as videos of a television season do you need to turn off autolock to prevent download from halting? And if so, if the download will take a significant amount of time (not sure how much offhand) how do you prevent burn in from prolonged screen image?

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • Do i need to turn off keyboard when logging off

    Do I need to turn off keyboard every time I log off the IMac? 

    If you shut down the iMac and the keyboard is a wireless keyboard turning it off will preserve battery life. The same goes for a wireless mouse.

  • I need to turn off 'find my iPhone' so that I am able to restore my phone but my screen is not working. I logged into my iCloud but was not able to turn it from here. How do I do this?!

    My iPhone 4 screen stopped working. The phone is still on but the screen is not working at all, it is juts black. I was told restoring my phone might solve this problem so i plugged it into iTunes. When I click on the restore iPhone button a message popped up saying I needed to turn off 'find my iPhone' in phone settings for the restore to be go ahead. Problem is I cant access my phone!
    I went onto my cloud account to see if i could do it from here but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any ideas?

    From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.

    Already gone through troubleshooting guide a zillion times. Thanks.

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • My husband purchased a Mac and without doing anything, it is picking up my itunes library.  How can he get it to recognize his instead? I was told I needed to turn off wifi sharing in mine, but can't find out how to do that.

    What a ding dong, I put my entire question in the subject line.  First time user, sorry.  My husband purchased  desk top Mac, and without importing anything via USB cord, it automatically is picking up my itunes library. He closed out, and signed in with his user id and password, and it still will only pick up mine.  Someone told me it is because I have turned on "share wifi" in my itunes account, and need to turn that off first, but cannot figure out how to do it.  Any suggestions?

    You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here.  If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries.  Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer.  You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
    By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple.  On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application.  So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
    Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

  • Forgot password on iPad and need to turn off 'find my iPad'

  • Need to turn off iMessage for an iPhone that no longer works

    My daughter broke her iPhone and the motherboard is fried. We got her an Android as a temporary phone until she is due for an upgrade in a few months. The problem is that when we try to text her on the new Andriod, on our iPhones (and any other iPhone that tries to text her) it still sends as an iMessage. Therefore she cannot receive any texts from us unless we turn off our iMessage (which causes us not to be able to receive other iMessages of course!). We went to the Sprint store, and they told us that we would need to turn off the iCloud for her phone, since Apple is recognizing it as still on and associated with her number. I cannot figure out how to do that since we can't access the phone settings. She is traveling this week alone with other family and I really need to be able to text her! She is 12. I appreciate any help.
    This is an iPhone 4, with Sprint. We have 3 other iPhones, an iPod 4 and an iPad 2 on the same Apple ID account. We don't use the Cloud storage but I think the iCloud on the phone was turned on for a few things like Calendar.
    Thank you in advance.

    She would have had to register the phone using her Apple ID/password.
    Changing her Apple ID password is the only other way to fix this if you don't have access to the phone.
    You can also "try" calling AppleCare.

  • HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5.  The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone.  Can I do this w/o the serial number?

    I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones.  Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective?  Thank you.

    Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
    What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.

  • Need to turn off the iCloud services

    I no longer have the iPhone 4s. Now I cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users on my new cell phone. I need to turn off iMessage.

    If you registed it with a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, you can try changing the password associated with the Apple ID you were using for iMessage.
