Application saving pdf with .pdf^1 extension

Our company has an application that saves to .pdf format. However, on one of the user's systems, whenever she saves as .pdf, the default is to save the file with a .pdf^1 extension. Has anyone encountered the ^1 in the file extension? I can't find any information and it seems to be only on one person's systsem.

Adobe Reader does not allow saving filled-in forms, either with Save, or Print to PDF. Some forms don't fill properly with Preview (at least they didn't in Tiger), and Preview doesn't have many features (such as field descriptors), so Adobe Reader is sometimes the only option. The virtual printer lets you save filled-in form with Adobe Reader. If the form works with Preview, then the built-in Print to PDF can be used.

How to open a pdf with a ".exe" extension?

Hi everyone,
I am new. Someone just sent me a document they created in Acrobat 9 pro. They say it is a password protected pdf. When I click open or download, it changes from 1 KB to 28 bytes and displays a message that the content has been deleted. I would really appreciate any insights!
In case it helps, I am using Windows 7 and have Acrobat XI Pro. Thanks.

If it was a PDF with a .exe extension I suspect you have just been injected with Virsus, Worm, Trogan Horse or some other malware. A PDF if it’s a true PDF will only have pdf extension. When some one says it’s a Pdf but say it will be sent as exe file don't download it. Or if itd ownloaded don't open it trash it immediately.

Save as PDF with [PDF/X-1a:2001] preset not flattening issue

Hi all,
I have a document with some transparency so I want to flatten it while saving to a PDF. In the UI, if I save it using [PDF/X-1a:2001] preset, it's perfeclty flattened.
But if I order the same operation through scripting, it doesn't. What am I doing wrong, it makes me crazy !
var doc=app.activeDocument;
var pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.pDFPreset="[PDF/X-1a:2001]";
var pdfFile = new File(Folder.desktop + "/testIllu4.pdf");
doc.saveAs(pdfFile, pdfSaveOptions);
TIA.
Loic

Hi Larry,
Just tried your function and indeed if I have a specific preset, it works. I hoped I could just set the PDF options without calling a preset.
I just looked and it seems like impossible to add a preset into Illustrator
That's really tough.
Thanks a lot anyway for helping.
Loic
Edit : FINALLY, I could get it. I suspected something when I saw into Acrobat that the file didn't contain transparency but was indeed transparent into Illustrator. I forgot to deactivate the editability. And that was all !
var doc=app.activeDocument;
var pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.pDFXStandard=PDFXStandard.PDFX1A2001;
pdfSaveOptions.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT4;
pdfSaveOptions.preserveEditability = false;
var pdfFile = new File(Folder.desktop + "/test.pdf");
doc.saveAs(pdfFile, pdfSaveOptions);

How do I edit a PDF with PDF Pack?

how do i edit a pdf pack?

Hi glennkerris,
PDF Pack doesn't let you edit PDF files. If you purchased PDF Pack and decided you don't want it, please let me know and I'll cancel it for you and process a refund.
If you need to edit a PDF file, then Acrobat is what you want. You can try it for free for 30 days, if you'd like (no obligation). See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.com for more information.

How to remove PDF/X PDF/A setting thorugh Action

Hi,
I have a bunch of pdf with PDF/A PDF/X seetting which I would like to remove through Action. Can any one help me out.
Thanks
Karan

Adobe only sells Acrobat XI. There are two versions of this application: Standard and Pro. I'm not sure if the former has the feature I described, though.
There is also a free 30-days trial of Acrobat Pro you can use, by the way...

Problem saving attachments with longish filenames

We're having a problem saving attachments from Mail that are 25+ characters in length. ie. If we click on the "Save" attachment button in Mail, we get an alert that the file can't be saved because it's too long. We can drag the file to the desktop, but then can't move it without getting the "name is too long" alert. We have to change the name, deleting a bunch of characters. Using HFS+. Anyone have a solution?

When you drag the attachment to the desktop you should be able to click on the file's name then edit it so it's less then 25 characters. Try saving it again after deleting some characters.
We just switched from OS 9.4 to OS 10.4 (Intel) and found that Photoshop did not recognize any of the pics in our folders because we haven't been saving them with the file extension (i.e. jpeg, eps, etc.) We had to open all our pic files then add the extension. Apparently our old Macs could recognize a photo file but our new ones need the extension to be able to read the file. So if your file name is too long it's probably cutting off the extension - your computer won't let you save it until you make room for the file extension at the end.
Hope this helps.

Automate Extraction of PDF attachment/PDF package

Hi,
Can any one help me in my problem? This is my poblem, I want to extract all PDF file in a PDF package or PDF with PDF attachment using VB.net or C# .net automatically? Or maybe I can use scripting method here to extract the PDF attachment.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Buddy

Hi, I have the same problem as Buddy (except I'm using VBA and am a newbie). I have several PDF packages that were created with 'Acrobat PDFMaker 8.1 for Lotus Notes'. I have been successful in extracting the PDF messages using JSO, but not the attachments (mostly non-PDFs). I'm having problems getting the cName of the attachment by either using 'doc.dataObjects' with JSO in VBA or 'this.dataObjects' using JS in the console.
If I add an attachment (.txt file) to an extracted PDF message that already has attachments that were created by the Lotus PDFMaker, I do get the cName "Untitled Object" back for the newly attached file, but it will not give me the name(s) of the other attachment(s). I either get a runtime error in VBA or a 'null/has no properties' error at the JS console.
What am I doing wrong? Grateful for any help.
Thanks

I saved an application form as a pdf to my desktop and now I can't open it!

Basically, I didn't have access to a printer, so I clicked print and then it presented my application form in a new window (my browser is chrome). Instead of printing (because I couldn't) I saved the file to my desktop and it saved as a pdf. Now if try and open it with adobe it says 'Adobe could not open...because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email and wasn't correctly decoded) I read other posts with people having this message but not in this context.
Now I really need to print it and I can't even open it. There's no way of going back in the application process as I can't get hold of the application form online any more.
PLEASE help! This is really important and I might have managed to screw everything up for myself. I tried to open it with chrome instead and that just opens a blank page...
Sincerely, and desperately!

Saving PDF with Adobe AIR

Hi all,
Currently, I am trying to implement saving PDF function with AIR, similar to above AIR application.
I have created a normal PDF, added formbridge.js inside it. Then display it via a HTML template in my AIR application.
Any idea how I can save the pdf with its content using AIR?
Do I need to ReaderExtended the PDF?
Thanks and regards,
Anh

Thanks a bunch anirudhs for your reply. I believe I did a bad
bad job explaining myself on the initial post.
Basically what I'm having issues with is printing or saving
the state of a scripted PDF form. I'm working on an AIR application
that fills PDF forms from the AIR app. Here is the work flow I
envision for the app:
- Forms are filled in the AIR App
- The fields are stored in a SQLite DB
- Fields are pulled from the DB into a template scripted PDF
File
- Template PDF file should be able to be saved & printed
off with the respective forms field
I have everything working besides the saving & printing
aspect of the application. I can't seem to make it work. Tried
working with the saveAs() but there seems to be some security
issues with calling the saveAs() from the script.
I'm wondering if anyone could give me a hand with this issue.
Thanks.

I am not able to save the pdf with filled data or related to reader extension

Hi,
I have designed a pdf with some text field controls. But i am not able to save the document when i fill some data into the pdf.
or whenever i save data it says that the pdf will be saved blank.
I know that this is the reader extension issue. How to i add this reader extension feature into it.
I know that reader extension can be
1. cached
2. A document can be made reader extended using adobe live cycle process.
3. also it can be embedded while designing the pdf.
Can any body let me know how do i incorporate reader extension feature while designing and at runtime too.
I know we have taken reader extension license but dont know how to use this reader extension feature.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
You indicate that you have a Reader Extensions license, did you also purchase Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2? You would apply the license to your form using this server product.
You can also apply reader rights using Acrobat Standard v9 (or Acrobat Professional v8), but this has license restrictions - see EULA. Also the rights that are enabled using this route will not be as many when compared to LC Reader Extensions ES2.
I have a summary here:
http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
Also have a look at the Adobe page:
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
Maybe talk to the Adobe sales in your region.
Good luck,
Niall

Problem with PDF attachment - need to send as "application/pdf" - Urgent!

I have code to email a created PDF but when the email is received the attachment is being removed by some kind of SMTPO firewall (I assume at my ISP). It says that attachment type "application/octet" with that file extension (.pdf) is not allowed. How do I set the mime type of the attachment to be "application/pdf"?
My code I use is similar to this at the moment:-
// Part one is the text
BodyPart bodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
bodyPart.setText("Some text");
multipart.addBodyPart(bodyPart);
// Part two is the attachment
bodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource sourceFile = new FileDataSource(FileName);
bodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(sourceFile));
bodyPart.setFileName("FileName.pdf");
multipart.addBodyPart(bodyPart);
message.setContent(multipart);Any help would be greatly apprecieated as I need to fix asap!!!

i tried like this,but it will giving error like this
javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
nested exception is:
javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type application/pdf
my code is :
MimeBodyPart pdfpart=new MimeBodyPart();
pdfpart.setContent(message,"application/pdf");
pdfpart.addHeaderLine("Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"");
pdfpart.addHeaderLine("Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable");
Multipart mp2=new MimeMultipart();
for( int i = 0; i < m_attachments.length; i++ )
// attachments= str+"/"+attachments[i];
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource fileDataSource =new FileDataSource(m_attachments[i]);
InputStream fi = fileDataSource.getInputStream();
DataSource fileDataSource1 = new ByteArrayDataSource(fi, "application/pdf");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fileDataSource1));
// messageBodyPart.setFileName(attachments[i]);
messageBodyPart.setFileName(m_attachments[i].getName());
mp2.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

Error while saving a smartform in pdf with action profile in service order

Hi experts,
I have a problem in saving a smartform which is converted in pdf.
WHat i m doing is.
The action profile is configured with new Z class and Z method. CL_DOC_PROCESSING_CRM_ORDER and CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SMART_FORM.
But when i click the button in the Order, i m able to save the pdf in local drive, but an error is coming in the Order page(at the bottom) "Action could not be executed successfully".
The action has been setup with "Printonly" and "Smartforms print" in customization.
I have a dount whether, this action Printonly is only to print the smartform ??? Or can we use just to save the smartform in pdf.
But when i remove the pdf conversion and save dialog and try to print it directly, Its printing the smartform. No errors are coming.
But guys, please help me on this. I have tried all the tricks i know.
I just want to save a smartform in pdf with action profile configured.
Thanks in advance.

I've been getting an error message (bellow) when I save a ANY of my AI file as PDF with Printer Marls (Trim Marks etc).
All fail attempts were files with: No transparencies - No effects - Simple Type (tried outlined and live) - Simple shapes.

- Rebuild file
- Replace fonts
Please help. I'm a print designer and that's vital for my line of work.

Without system information and details like what PDF preset you use nobody can even begin to guess.
