AutoCAD to PDF Conversion Appends Layout to File Name

Having found no answer to my question in the CAD forums, I submit the following for your consideration. I recently upgraded from AutoCAD 2005 to 2008. Using 2005 I was able to convert my .dwg files to .pdf and retain the same basic file name as the CAD drawing. Using 2008 the file name is now appended with "Model (1)", so if I start with "Drawing 1.dwg", I end up with "Drawing 1 Model (1).pdf". I currently have both versions of AutoCAD on my PC (Window XP Pro) and they will produce two different results when converting the same file. I am using Acrobat 3D 8.1.0. This same problem plagued me for years in previous versions of CAD and I thought it had finally been resolved. Also, when I first began using AutoCAD 2005, I was still using Acrobat 6 Pro, again there were no problems with the file name, nothing was appended. I did not add any scripts or VBA routines to AutoCAD 2005, it simply worked fine. Does anyone know if there is a preference/switch either in AutoCAD or Acrobat to fix this problem? In previous years I had to edit each conversion by hand until AutoCAD 2005 "fixed" the problem, I'd rather not have to do that again. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi there,
I believe I may have found the solution!
You will need to set your CrystalReportViewer.ID property to what you need your filename to be.
In my example:
CrystalReportViewer.ID = "NewPDFFileNamehere";
The .PDF file extension will be added automatically!
Just note, you need to set the above property ASAP in code - meaning - It should be the first thing you do before having any other code attached, read into or from CrystalReportViewer.
Hope it helps!

Opening 2 PDF's with the same file name

I have someone who has difficulty opening two PDF's with the same file name. They had a file open, then try to open another PDF document with the same file name as the original document, however it will not open (and no error displays) and reverts back to the "old" document. Any ideas?

Are this diferent documents? What version of Adobe Reader?

Layout Par file name not appearing in list while creating new Layout

Hi
I downloaded com.sap.portal.layouts to modify the light_framework page to suit my needs, renamed it to com.mycomp.portal.layouts, modified the page, created a par file and uploaded it thru NWDS.
When I go to the portal to create a new Layout, I do not see my custom par file in the list.
I have even uploaded it from the portal: System Administration -> Support -> Support Desk -> Portal Runtime -> Administration Console -> Archive Uploader. Even after it was successful, I was not able to see the par file listed while creating a new Layout.
How do I get my Layout par file listed do i can create my Layout?
Thanks
J

Hi Bala
I never had a problem with the JAR files in this par file while opening, nor did I have to manually add anything.
I know it has been successfully uploaded in the portal, as I can see my par file in the Archive Deployment Checker.
What could be wrong? Is there something else I have to put in the portalapp.xml to make it visible in the list?
Thanks
J

Export to PDF change default "Save As" file name

Hello,
I have an asp.net application where I use a CrystalReportViewer. The user runs the report via the application. They then click on on the the Export button in the viewer with PDF as the format. This launches the PDF file. When I click the Save icon, the Save As dialog box comes up. The default name in this window is the name of the .aspx file. I want to be able to specify what this file name should be instead of it defaulting to the name of the asp page in which the report was launched.
I do not want to recreate the Export button, I am trying to find a way to do this with existing crystal functionality. Can anyone please help?? Thank you!!

Why does Lightroom append "-2" to file names when there are no duplicates.

I have been using Lightroom since V. 1. I have noticed that many of my file names have been renamed in LR (now V5.3) by changing the filename from "XXX_yyyy.NEF" to "XXX_yyyy-2.NEF". IF I look in the folder where the images are stored, both versions of the file are there. I went into LR and deleted the "-2" version and re-imported the original files. In some cases this worked and the LR file now has the original name. In some other cases, LR re-named on import and appended the "-2" to the filename. I checked and it turned out there were other files with the same name on the disk and in the LR catalogue, so I understand why these files were renamed. In other cases, however, there is no other file in LR with the same name. Yet, when I try to delete the "-2" file in LR and re-import the original file (as I did earlier), LR again renames my file by appending the "-2" suffix to the filename. It does not copy the file, it actually renames the file in the folder where it is stored. I cannot understand why the filename is being changed in this case.
Can anyon tell me why LR is doing this and how can I prevent it?
I am runing LR under 64-bit Win 7 with 12 GB RAM, the problem seems to have occurred primarily with Nikon D200 RAW (.NEF) files.
TIA

Yes - it's due to a bug, or if you prefer: a "design/implementation limitation". Sorry: I'm not qualified to provide details...
Winslow98 wrote:

Somebody else may be better qualified to answer - I never figured out exactly what causes it. Two ideas I have though (take with salt / refer to initial disclaimers...):
* Export all photos into a new catalog (it's possible it'll leave the offending / problem-causing junk behind - dunno).
* Use SQL to hack your catalog - look for clues in "Import Hash" column of 'AgLibraryFile' table (and if you see problem - fix it...).
* Try deleting .agprefs file (in with your presets, 'Preferences' subfolder). Not sure if this has anything to do with it - I don't think so.
Sorry I can't be more help (and consider holding out for a better answer),

Appending the Original File Name as Suffix to Receiver File Name

Been searching and I've seen Michael's blog about creating a UDF to place the original file name in the payload.    Since this is a file->file scenario, I have no mapping.
I have the Adapter-Specific Attributes turned on on the Sender to pass the file name in the DynamicConfiguration of the message header and I can see it in the message.
What I want to do it to have a target file name in the form of:   XXXXX_<i>originalfilename</i>.
So I have turned on variable substitution and created a variable called 'file'.
In the File Name Scheme Parameter I have entered: XXXXXX_%file%
If I set the variable substitution refererance for 'file' to message:message_id, my file name is created as XXXXX_message_id, or any of the other options from -> <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm">SAP Adapter Help Page</a>
How can I get the value of FileName as the value for my variable %file%?

No, you cant read in mapping what you set in CC.
However, you can ignore the parameter FileName scheme in CC and just set it in mapping runtime.
The way you are using, you'll have to maintain the prefix for each receiver adapter you have. If you had it in mapping, you could just do something like:
String receiver = container
    .getTransformationParameters().
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.SENDER_SERVICE);
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
    FileName);
String orgFileName = conf.get(key);
String tgtFileName = receiver + "_" + orgFileName;
conf.put(key, tgtFileName);
and then you wouldn't have to maintain the file name scheme in CC.

Henrique.

PDF Conversion of Word document file too large

I am going crazy trying to figure out why PDF document files I make on my Mac are so much larger (file size) than the same document converted on my Windows machine using Adobe Acrobat. I also tested the file size by having a friend use her CutePDF document converter to convert it for me and my PDF document with a file size of 2.18 Mb came back from her at 78.5 Kb. However, when I try to view the document it has a message where the images are that "QuickTime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture". But she could see everything fine.
I always loved my Adobe Acrobat software when I was a Windows user. With the exception of using Quicken on my MacBook using VMWare Fusion for running Windows, I don't want to use Windows anymore so I don't want to have Acrobat sitting on that partition. I know my Mac can convert to PDF but is there a way I can get the file sizes smaller? Or am I going to have to get a PDF writer program specifically for converting and compressing file sizes where other users, whether be Mac or Windows can see them.
HELP please. I'm about ready to purchase the Adobe Acrobat X Professional for Mac OS X. I only need the Standard package but it appears they don't have a Mac version for anything less than the Professional package. I'm also wondering if CutePDF would work for me. Hmmm. I truly need the knowledge of you seasoned users.
Thanks a bunch!!!

Unable to open PDFs with CR in the file name or folder name?

We are unable to open any PDFs with capital CR in the title of the document or if they are stored in a folder with CR in the name of it. This is quite a large problem as we are a CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) and need to use this in most file and folder names.

Can you please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader available i.e. 10.1.4 (By clicking on Help > Check For Updates from within the Reader application). This should fix your issue.

8.1 EE can't find page and appends the welcome-file name to the url

I have a problem where you enter a url that points to a static file in the xxxEar-WebModule_war directory. That is the "docroot" directory for the application. Somewhere along the line the welcome-file (index.html) is appended to the url. For example I enter http://server.com/app/file.xml and it gets changed to http://server.com/app/file.xml/index.html, which is not found.
This was not a problem in 8.1 platform. Now that we upgraded to 8.1 enterprise it is a problem.
All urls that are mapped to servlets work fine. I just can't seem to access static content.
Thanks!

How to name a pdf file automatically with the current file name

We constantly pick up old ID files, save as, revise and rename. The problem is that when I pdf ID remenbers the original file name not the new one. Is there a way for it to select the new name without retyping it.

ID will change the PDF name with the name change of the file until you change the PDF name manually. At that point you're stuck with it.
To clear it out, export to IDML, open and save with the appropriate name and NEVER change the PDF name again. If you do, don't save the InDesign file afterward.

Adding the file name to each page of a pdf

I need to find a script that will allow me to add the file name of a pdf to each page within the pdf. I need the file name to appear in one of the corners of the pdf.
for example if the file name is 001.pdf then I need to somehow attach that so it appears in one of the corners of ach page within the pdf
I have to do this for 20,000 pdf files so any help would be massively appreciated.
thanks
Jim

I assume you have Acrobat Pro for editing, although you don't say.
This should get you started by showing how to extract the name of one file (that you have selected) in the Finder and then to pass this to a JavaScript that is executed by Acrobat:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;">
tell application "Finder"
set theFile to selection as alias
set theTitle to name of theFile
end tell
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
open theFile
--now add theTitle to the bottom/centre of all pages
do script "this.addWatermarkFromText({ cText: \"" & theTitle & "\", nFontSize: 12, nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.center, nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom, nVertValue: 12});"
--uncomment one of these options
--close document 1 saving no
--close document 1 saving yes
end tell </pre>
I just noticed that you want the name in a corner - just change the word 'center' to 'left' or 'right'

Conversion call in transformation files is not working

Dear Experts,
We are using BPC 7.5 NW SP06. For running master data load from BW, we are using the standard packages available. Whenever we are creating any transformation file keeping the conversion section blank it is working fine and getting validated. If we are creating new conversions, the same also gets validated and updated. To ascertain this, we also checked in the BW back end using UJFS t code and observed that the corresponding .CDM file is getting created in the back end. We are creating all such transformations and conversions in the default company folder. The issue lies in the fact that whenever we are referring the created conversion file in *CONVERSION section of the transformation file using the syntax:
ID/HIER_NAME = [COMPANY]Conversion.xls!CONVERSION
and trying validate the same we are getting the error:
**"xml(........................CDM) file doesn't exists or empty.
File / Document doesn't exist"*.
We again went back to UJFS and found the CDM file is intact there with proper conversion definition. We tried to validate the same phenomenon of calling a conversion using any other transformation file. But the same error happens every time although at the back end the .CDM file gets created.
What can be the problem here? We are stuck.
Your expert advise is highly aprreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
ID/HIER_NAME = COMPANYConversion.xls!CONVERSION
What is the file name here? Is it Conversion.xls and if it contains only one sheet then just try
ID/HIER_NAME = CONVERSION.xls
hope it works...
regards,
Raju

Acrobat 7.1 OS: XP PRINT TO PDF file name problems

Here is all the info.
when i goto file print and select Adobe pdf as the printer.
The window shows up titled: Save PDF File AS
The current "Save in" window is Desktop / My Documents / CATALOG /     CATALOG PDF VERSION / PDF PORTFOLIO VERSION
The preloaded "File name" is: C:\Documents and Settings\Chip\My     Documents\2009 - A PO\09 - AH - Ellouise Abbott, Houston\09 - AD -     5846, Lloyd, IBB, j-227\INDEX-glass,mica,linen.pdf
The preloaded "Save as type" is: PDF files (*.PDF)
I am sending out this pdf to a lot of customers and I do not want them to see the preloaded information for file name.   Is this only happening because it is on my computer. OR when i send the same pdf to a different customer will they see the preloaded file name   "C:\Documents and Settings\Chip\My     Documents\2009 - A PO\09 - AH - Ellouise Abbott, Houston\09 - AD -     5846, Lloyd, IBB, j-227\INDEX-glass,mica,linen.pdf"

Cant download pdf files with long file names??

Why in windows mobile wont it let me open/download pdf links th have long file names...works fine on desktop....just a mobile issue??? Have Lumia 930...windows mob 8.1

Personally, I've not heard of this but maybe WP doesn't handle long names as well as Windows - what actually happens when you try? Is there an error message or does the download just fail silently?

Additional words added to file name

For certain forms, when the user submits the form the file name, as expected, is the name that I gave the form. But additionally, Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf is added after the file name. See figure. Is there a way to keep the "Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf" from being added?
Thanks,
MDawn

I have a submit button that "clicks" a hidden button. The hidden button has script that verifies that all
required fields are filled in. Script on that button "clicks" another invisible button which opens email where
the user selects the email recipients.
I put the script you suggested in the PreSubmit event of the form, and then each of the Submit buttons and none of these worked.
Thanks,
