Automatically populate metadata field with file name?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is possible...
I'm working with many large batches of .jpg files, and am running them through Bridge in order to add metadata according to my client's guidelines.
For every single file, my client requires that the "Description" field in the IPTC Core section of the metadata is filled with the full filename, as it would appear in the Finder, including the .jpg extension.
Currently I'm copying every file's name and pasting it into the Description field. Does anyone know of a good way to automate this task? Since each file name is different, a standard metadata template isn't meeting my needs.
If anyone knows of a good way, I'd be very glad to know! Thank you.

Awesome, That works really well.
I found this on the forum based on your answer.
Puts the file name in the field and takes off the .pdf extention.
var
fileName = event.target.documentFileName;
//removing the file extensionvar vDot = fileName.length-4;
//apply the value to the TxtFieldthis.rawValue= fileName.substring(0,vDot);

How to allow user to select pdf file on local machine and populate field with file name only

Folks,
I have a project requirement that I am stumped on. I am admittedly a novice, so forgive questions that may seem obvious.
My requirement is a form running on a client system where the user can click a button and select a PDF file name from a PDF on their local machine and then populate a form field with that file path & filename. The file names vary between all machines, so there is no static list. Note that the PDF is not embedded, nothing is executed, I simply need the file name.
There are several of these on a form (20+), so manual name entry is too error prone. I would like to use a 'browse' type dialog, but can not figure out how to implement it.
I've looked at app.browseForFile, but the users can not install a javascript file in their adobe folder or any other files; the functionality has to be integral with the original PDF.
Functionally, this is no different from the image object file browse, except that I need a PDF instead of an image file, so there doesn't seem like there should be a security issue that is any different from those surrounding the image object.
I've been stumped on this for the entire week, and I have a deadline rapidly approaching, so any examples or suggestions (please remember I'm a novice) would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply Paul - do you have any sample code of how to attach the PDF? Or how the user can select a PDF to open? I might be able to attach it, retrieve the file name, and then un-attach it.
Alternatively, do you know how to retrieve the file name from the imagePath object? It will let you select PDF files, but I can't find info on how to retrieve the file name. It should be the way you would retrieve the file name for an image.
As a novice in this, thanks for your help and patience!

Populating descriptive field with itresource name?

Hi everyone,
After my AD account is provisioned i need to update request description with resource name. but when i map the descriptive field it populateds descriptive field with key but not the resource name. How can we populate descriptive field with resource name?
Thanks,
doki

ASAIK, you can not see the resource name in map descriptive field. But you can do a workaround like, create a hidden field(UD_ADCS_RESNAME) in AD Process Form and use pre-populate adapter to populate this field with your resource name.
Now in Map Descriptive Field of AD Provisioning, select the field UD_ADCS_RESNAME under the Process Data. You will be done.

2) It would be equally helpful if there was something that would take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
In a Pictures folder

In a Movie Folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste
and do this for all 700 files
This Bash script will do it.
Edit "PicDir" and "MovDir" to the location of your Folders
(Note: The comment is written to the m4v file using xattr, so the Spotlight comment field appears blank in Finder, but the comment metadata is still indexed by Spotlight (If you add a Spotlight comment from Finder, it is stored both as an extended attribute and in a .DS_Store file)
#!/bin/bash
PicDir=$HOME/Desktop/Pictures
MovDir=$HOME/Desktop/Movies
for f in $PicDir/*
do
     if [ ! -d "$f" -a "${f##*.}" == "jpeg" ]; then
          comment=$(mdls -raw -name kMDItemFinderComment "$f")

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it
Regards,
Shakir

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

How can I have a checkbox that a user checks and populates a field with read only text, then if another checkbox is checked it will allow user text input

Hi
How can I have a check box that a user checks and populates a field with read only text, then if another check box is checked it will allow user text input into that same field, her is my javascript
var a ="Not Applicable"
if (this.getField("Do").value == "Yes")
a=""
if (this.getField("DoNot").value =="Yes")
a=a + ""
event.value=a
say if the "Do" cb is checked, Not Applicable would populate the text field, and if the "DoNot" cb is checked it would allow user input into the same text field, the javascript I have will not allow user input,
thanks for any help I am new to javascript

Are these fields mutually exclusive?

Set metadata field with current user

I would like to have a Response that would set a field with the current logged in user. (This would be triggered by a Subscription)
I am using a Response Action of "Set Asset Metadata".
I have tried entering:
[Name]
[USER_NAME]
[Username]
and so on but the field just puts in the text not the user. Is it not possible to copy from one metadata field to another in a Response Action?

Variable insertions only work for fields that are part of the Asset, Production, or Job that is triggering the Subscription. The only one of those that would reference a user is a Job Subscription. Jobs have a field called \[Owner] that lists the user that caused the job to happen. Of course, this is only viable for actions that cause a job to occur, such as downloads, exports, analysis, archive, or recovery.
Unfortunately, Set Asset MD will not be of any use in a Job Subscription since there is no asset to set metadata upon when you are subscribing to a job. Long story short, you will not be able to do what you are describing automatically.

Automaticly print to pdf without file name prompt

Hi,
I am building an aplication that uses "Report Generation Toolkit". I am creating a "word" report with a template. After I am done with word creation I want to convert this "word" report to "PDF" format. I need that this process will be an automatic one. I understand that I can use print to PDF software, but the problem with it is that every such software prompts me to choose file name and destination.I need to avoid this.
Please help me.

Jenia.

Jenia,
There is a lot of PDF software available and some do provide the means to avoid prompts when saving the PDF. PDFCreator has the advantage of being open source and free, has its Autosave option and had a COM interface added to recent versions. Alternatively you could look at pdf995 which has similar capabilities. I'm sure there are others.

Bug v4.0 - no input field for file name in export dialog

Hello,
I run a query, right click in the result grid and choose "Export". There is no input field to provide a file name. I can only export to the default file.
Version 4.0.0.13 on XP
Edit: Seems to be an issue with the settings (maybe those migrated from 3.2.2). When I install without migrating settings I get the full dialog. I will try some combinations and update this post.
Edit: I installed again without migration my settings. When I set the preferences manually I cannot reproduce the bug. Maybe some bug in the import for the preferences? Maybe it only happens on German XPs.

Marcus

.PDF file transfer(SAP XI ) along with file name to SAP R3

I would like to transfer a .PDF file along with its file name to target system.I need to have target structure like,
<Target>
    <field1>
    <Field2>
/Target>
Field1should be mapped to file name( i can do this by using dynamic configuration and a UDF).
Field 2 should me mapped to .PDF imae (.ie) i need tp pass the whole image to one target field
How can i do this.
Please suggest.

Hi as mentioned by you the structure is
<Target>
    <field1>
    <Field2>
</Target>
Field 1 Contains The dynamic File name UDF
Just make This File name which is sent Thru Source side as "Filename.PDF" to be passed to the target end
For example If the File name is XYZ
Field 1 has XYZ--
Pass The Field 2 as "XYZ.pdf" (i.e. File name Followed By .pdf as extension(Field1.pdf))

Acrobat 9: Auto-Populate Subject line with Attachment Name

Hello,
I am trying to auto-populate the subject line of an email with the .pdf attachment name. I don't care either way if this functionality is available or not. I just need a difinitive yes or no answer. And, of course, if yes I need to know how to do it. Email client is Outlook 2007.
Thanks in Advance,
Matt

In that case, I don't believe so.
You could set up in Acrobat a custom menu item or toolbar button that uses the doc.mailDoc JavaScript method, which is able to set the subject line text. The script could get the current file name and set the subject of the email to the same.
