Annoying When Saving Comments

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.2 on a Windows 7 machine
Exactly the same problem as the post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5044829#5044829, but there is no reply.
It is so nice to have all the commenting tools in Adobe Reader now. However, whenever I click File->Save for a file with new comments (not a protected file), it asks me to choose a path and a file name, which acts as a "Save as" command. Then I have to click the original file because I don't want to make an extra copy, so it asks me whether I am sure to replace the file. It is extremely annoying.
Am I the only one experiencing this problem? Can anyone help?

I appreciate your help. It works partially as what you described.
I disable all enhanced security (Sandbox Protections and Enhanced Security), then I can work freely with the "Save" for files in whitelist. However, for files outside the whitelist, after I add comments and click "Save", it pompts up a warning dialog saying "The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." Then the rest of the story is exactly as what you said
I just did some more testing: it looks like you still have to do the Save As the first time you move or save a file to a new location. Subsequent saves function as expected, but the (for lack of a better term) Save-Flag seems to get un-toggled any time the file is moved.
I'm glad that it now works for files in whitelist. But my pdf files are stored in all different paths (EndNote did this). I can't add all these into the whitelist. Is it a way to apply the whitelist to include all its descendants?

Script to require user to update comments in info window when saving file?

I work in a print production department where many different people are modifying files (InDesign, photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) on a central network every day. Users copy the file they want to work on to their desktop, modify it, and then replace the original on the network with the modified version.
It can happen, though, that either someone doesn't save their work back to the network--or the opposite, where someone inadvertently overwrites a file on the network with a version that isn't as recent. Unfortunately, the information window (the one that you can access by right-clicking a file or, in the Finder column view, clicking on the "Get Info" button) doesn't identify the most recent user of a file--just the date created, modified, last opened, etc. When files on the server are incorrect for whatever reason, it can be difficult to figure out what happened. This info can be entered manually in the "Comments" field, but users either forget or are too busy to add that step into their routine.
Can a script to written that will prompt/require them to add at least their initials, date last changed, and for what reason, in the comments field before saving? It would be ideal if the script could somehow prompt users to do this only when saving files to the network--or, failing that, at least only prompt them once if they're just saving a file they've already dragged to their desktop back to the desktop for backup reasons.
Is this possible? Truly, I know almost nothing about AppleScript, but someone here was really, really helpful last week with a file-comparison script that has saved lives already. I'm trying to learn more, but meanwhile, I thought I'd ask.
Thank you so much in advance!

I can't see any way of doing this.
It would require hooks into every application's Save dialog, which just isn't an option.
The only possible way it might work is a folder action on the network folder that somehow adds the username to the comments field of any file as it's transferred to the server. Not quite the same thing, and I've no idea how folder actions work in a multi-user environment but it might be worth a try.
The problem may be that every users' system will see the new file getting added, so every system tries to fire off the folder action, with unpredictable results.

Why do my images and layered files 'shrink' in pixel size when 'saving as/saving for web'?

I'm using CS3 and when I "Save As" or "Save For Web" to a format like .jpg for example, the resulting .jpg is reduced in size considerably.
For example I was touching up a photograph that was 1300 x 700. I saved out the file for web to my desktop and emailed it to a friend. When my friend opened it, it had shrunk down to about 75% of the original 1300 x 700 size. I have the same problem when saving out layered .psd's, which lead me to believe it had something to do with my save settings. I've scoured the net for answers as well as gone through each setting, but have not been able to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer in solving this annoying problem!
Jason

Jeffrey, I checked the UI dialog and it's set to 'original'.
Marian, this problem occurs whether I email the file or not.
Thanks for the responses guys, but the problem continues. Any other thoughts? Remember this happens under both 'Save As' and 'Save for Web' actions.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

How do you turn off the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template in Dreamweaver?

As the title states I'd like to not have to see the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template. I'm not sure what its purpose is other than to annoy as it does not seem to do anything -- selecting update, don't update, any combination of files and or hitting escape appears not to make any difference wrt wheter it updates the pages or not (it does every time).
Any help will be appreciated.

The "more like this" window gave me the answers. No current ability to turn off. I've submitted a request to add this feature.

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

Maya iff plugin doesn't support Alpha when saving

Now that's annoying... the iff plugin doesn't support Alpha Channel when saving file! And when you open an IFF file with an alpha, generated from Maya for example, the alpha is removed and the transparent parts of the original alpha become punches out the image (so you see the grey checker in the BG).
I hope someone from the PS team reads this and fixes it. Maya converts all textures to IFF internally before rendering and that slows you down if you have a lot of textures. I was hoping I could do this in PS myself but it looks like I will have to rely on Shake to do it.
Anybody knows of a drag and drop software that could easily convert TIFF, JPG, TGA or other formats to IFF? I need and easy solution because I don't want to have to convert all my textures one by one.
Robert
PS: I posted this as a bug to Adobe...

I can confirm that if one uses the Eraser tool in Photoshop CS5 to create 0% opacity (100% transparency), the pixel values will be set to pure white. I have a content-aware plug-in that has to specifically avoid examining pixels if the transparency mask exists and the opacity is equal to 0.
We can only guess that this was done to reduce saved file sizes or something. ??? I can imagine the thinking when this was designed/implemented: "Who'd want to maintain data that was utterly transparent?"
Clearly someone does.
What this pixel destruction "quirk" DOES DO, specficially, is blow away the proposal that viewing opacity in Photoshop is completely interchangeable with the maintenance of a separate alpha channel.
I second PECourtejoie's request to make the 100% deletion non-destructive. After all, Photoshop now maintains information outside the canvas, why not maintain it in transparent image areas as well? And if it's compatibility you're worried about, make an Advanced option to toggle the functionality.
Thanks.

Can i add a sound alert or message when someone comments on a pic of a photo stream when i am only another participant (not owner of the photstream)?

Hi,
How can i add a sound alert or message when someone comments on a pic of a photo stream when i am only another participant (not owner of the photstream)? Thank you. Joana

Joana,
that should be automatic.
See: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.4/#pht884a8908
When you like or comment on a photo in a shared stream, a notification is sent to all the Apple devices of the photo stream’s creator and subscribers. You can delete comments you added to a photo by placing the pointer over the comment and clicking the Delete button that appears.
Usually the problem is the other way round - how to prervent spamming all subscribers to a shared stream from being alerted to each comment on a photo in the stream. Quite a few subcribers have cancelled their subscriptions to shared streams, because they have continously been sent alert messages and could not disable them. It can get rather annoying - there is no way to silently add a few comments to photos and then send only one alert.

Adobe Elements 9 not responding when saving changes

Adobe Elements 9 says not responding when I save image changes. I does eventually save the image changes but takes awhile. Is this normal? My computer is rinning Windows 7 and I have 8GB of ram so I don't think that ram memory is the problem. Thanks

In other versions of photoshop elements, you don't get the not responding
thing at the top of the screen when saving png files, but it still takes a noticeable
amount of time to save png's in other versions of photoshop elements and the full
photoshop version.
I haven't been able to find it yet, but there is a post somewhere in the photoshop forums
where an adobe photoshop engineer explained why png's take longer to save than most
other file formats, but ssprengel said something about the compression of png's which
sounds like the gist of the post.
There have been more than a few complaints about the not responding messages in pse 9
on windows machines for various operations, but as far as saving images, the not responding
message doesn't seem to hinder saving files, but it is very annoying.

Saving comments to the file that was opened

Hello all,
i was wondering if someone can help me.
I am trying to send out an excel file register that hyperlinks to PDF files that i have saved specifically to gather peoples comments. However when the comment-er opens the PDF file and adds his comments, when they try to save the file it wont automatically save over the original file, it will only let them save-as to a new file name and location. And to make it even more difficult Adobe Reader 11 doesn't even open the save-as path to the location of the original file, so the comment-er cant just click the original and save over the top.
Can anyone suggest how to setup a PDF file that people can add comments and then just hit save, using Reader 11?
thanks,
JC

I found a solution, and that is to not use Adobe Reader for reading and commenting, basically.
If i open PDFs through foxit, even from a hyperlink, add my comments and just hit save, it will save over the old file rather than force me to go through the save-as process (and also have to navigate to find where the original file was saved in the first place.)

Safari freezes when saving to PDF

Hi Folks
Well... Safari doesn't freeze when saving a web document to PDF, but somehow, it gets stuck for many seconds and later it pop ups a banner which says that it can't connect with Server "Martin" (me, which I guess is the name given to the MacPro).
So I'm using the MBP as "Desktop Computer" and conneted via FireWire to the MacPro. The weird thing is that I already unmounted the disks, unpluged the FireWire cable and turned off the MacPro, but the MBP still looking for the named server.
I think that's because some sharing configurations, but I'm not sharing the Printer (I don't have one, so discard that ).
So well... this issue is pretty annoying because I have to save as PDF many web documents and the "thinking" time of the computer by looking for that server is a big waste of time.
Can anybody help me here?
Thanks a lot!
Ø3
PS:
Here is a pic if needed:

Hey Linc it happens when I click on the PDF button. After a while, the pull down menu appears with the respective options, so it happens before the process of saving the file (selecting file type, folder, etc, and save).
Hope this helps you to find something. I have not tried deleting the MacPro from the Sharing Propierties in the MBP and see if the MBP keeps seeking for that server. Will try that later and update here.
Thanks for taking the time, man!

Colour shift in save for web when saving on PC and then viewing on Mac

Hey peeps, I am aware of this colour shift when saving images for web. I have a designer resizing, cropping photos, and then saving on PC. He uses PC and when he sends the photos over to me on my Mac there is a big colour shift (photos are much lighte
Could anyone please explain exactly what he needs to do in order for these photos to look the same as the originals on my computer, basically no lightness shift? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Because the WWW is based on untagged (2.2 gamma) sRGB - your genius is probably sending you untagged sRGB if they were Saved for the Web (that's how I prepare my Web color).
Your Mac display should be profiled to 2.2 gamma (you are likely at the old default 1.8 gamma now if you're seeing a lightness shift on untagged sRGB)...if you want "your color" back in Photoshop, you will need to (re)Assign the sRGB profile...

Hi There,
The subject header just about says it all. This is the first action I took with MAX - it is a fresh install. The file I wanted to save was still written and the FP seems to be working ok. However, I need to know what happened.
I can't post the whole log file due to the amount of characters allowed on this post. I can cut and paste sections if there is a specific part of the file you need. Below is the first section and last section.

Hi,
I did a research on your error message and it seems this problem was introduced with MAX 4.6. This version switched to a new error reporting mechanism and reports even errors that are which are not critical to your task.
These errors typically show up as "unexpected" and if your error falls into this category have a look to this KB for further assistance.
If it doesn't fall into this category, your could try to go back to the MAX 4.5 or 4.4.. Of course you would need to reinstall some components and might not be able to use newer drivers at all.
Let me know.

Page shows different data when saved after few minutes

Hi,
I have a peculiar problem to describe.
I have a page which contains af:table inside af:panelCollection layout. I use a af:commandLink to drilldown to another page using setCurrentRowWithKey method.
I am able to drill down to the correct data in another page which contains data that is editable. Once after editing the page when i click save button, i am able to save the data. This is working fine.
But the problem is, once i drilled down to this edit page and edit some fields and save it after few minutes, say 5 minutes later, it is not saved. Also, the page is refreshed to bring some random record.
Can anyone let me know why is this happening and how to resolve it?
Thanks

Hi Timo,
Which jdev version?I am using jdev 11.1.1.3.0.
Is it possible that the data has changed (e.g. by an other user) after you drilled to the one record you want to change?There is a possibility that the data can be changed by other user as well. But, for the time being we have implemented for the single user environment.
When you click save after some time, do you get any error (on the screen or in the logs)?Yes. On the screen, it is displayed as "oracle.jbo.JboException: Document type mismatch (source INVOICE, type Sales)". It is a validation exception thrown at viewRowImpl level by me. But it validates the data perfectly when saved immediately after editing
Which session timeout do you have configured in your web.xml?Session-timeout is given as 240
Have you tried your use case with the HR schema?Yes. when i reproduce the situation in HR schema, it is getting saved perfectly

Print program is not getting triggered when saving the application

Hi all,
My requirement is when i save the invoice using VF01 the print program should get triggered.
The print program is not getting triggered when saving the application even when i have configured the outtype and have attached the print program.
The setting "send immediately (when saving application)" is also checked.
I need to configure it for VF01 transaction.
The error message displayed was " please maintain output device in master data".

Hi Umesh
Please check if you have missed any of the following:
1. Defining Access Sequence(can use existing).
2. Defining Output Condition Type(can use existing). - Assigning the Driver Program and Form in processing routine.
3. Output Determination Procedure
4. Assign Output Procedure to Billing Types
