Automator returns out of order PDF files

I'm using Automator to make a (lengthy) PDF from jpeg images. The 113 images I have are carefully numbered in the desired order such as "0001, 0002, 0003,......0113." When I move the images into the Automator "Get specified finder items" box they seem to get randomly ordered. I can get them to be properly ordered in that box by hitting the triangle in the upper bar BUT when the work flow runs the output is randomly ordered again!!!!
How do I get the output page order to be the same as the "name" order in my file?

Hi Rioux and BDAqua,
I'm the OP. Of course using the "Sort Finder Items" is the way to go. I never did see that action. But, the fact is that I screwed up the initial entry anyway.
In the "Get Specified Finder Items" I had (for some unknown reason) dragged my files into the box instead of using the "Add..." activity. When I finally figured this out and merely used "Add..." to enter the finder items all was well.....the items were entered, and stayed in, the intended order.
Thanks for your help in solving this self-caused problem.
Jim

I think, well, I am sure that DESTYPE=cache also works, as long as your web server outputs proper mime header for pdf files. Here is an example (sensitive information replaced with # character):

Internet Explorer 11 closes out when Adobe pdf file is closed

We recently upgraded our Internet explorer to IE11 which integrates PDF Browser. We are having intermitting issues where our users are closing out of Adobe PDF files it closes down all tabs and IE11 Window. We have tried upgrading to the latest Adobe Reader 11.10 but this issue is still happening.

We have tried upgrading adobe to 11.10.0 with bprotectedMode and bBrowserDisplayInReadMode turned off.

Illustrations greyed-out when printing PDF file from Adobe Reader

Hello,
From within PageMaker 7 I've made a 52-page PDF document in Distiller (selected job option is for Print) and uploaded it to my website. It contains many greyscale illustrations (TIFs and JPGs first imported into PageMaker), and text. I am able to view the PDF file over the net, and can print the illustrations and text on each page with no problem. I am using an old HP laser printer (LaserJet 5L). Other users are able to view the same PDF document on the net, and they can see all the illustrations and text on every page. However, some users who have tested it are reporting that when they try to print out the pages on their own printers, most of the illustrations are greyed-out between pages 3 and 51. The text is printing correctly on their printers. The images on the front and back cover are printing, and so is an 11-page comic strip (made up entirely of 11 TIFs, with no additional text). Can anyone work out why all the other illustrations throughout the document are printing greyed-out on their printers?
Thanks
Roger3

I am replying to my own question.
After posting here, I received feedback from a viewer that the PDF file is downloading and printing out pages with no greying-out of the illustrations. It looks to me as though the problems are arising from other viewers' slow internet connections and/or hardware RAM for printing, especially if trying to print all pages at once, rather than Saving As to hard drive, then printing.
Thanks,

How do I get firefox to write out homepages to pdf-files correctly

2011-08-22
I have been using Firefox for many years now. I like this browser better than Safari. However. I have a problem when I have connected to a homepage over the web and want to write the content out to a pfd-file. The pdf-file does sometimes contain only one page. The material is good enough for two or more pages of output. I have checked that using Safari browser. I´d like to continue using Firefox so please tell med what to do!

Computer Mac Powerbook G4
Processor 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4
Operative system OSX 10.5.8
Firefox version 3.6.2

"Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.

Not able to Check-out/Check-in .pdf file from Client application in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
When I click on .pdf document in document library its getting opened in browser not client application.
I have done all the below settings.
1. Set Opening Documents in the Browser as Open in Client Application.
2. Activated Open Documents in Client Application by Default.
Still .pdf files getting opened in browser.
Then I Tried by doing the below Internet Setting.
In Internet Explorer -> Manage add-ons and disabled Adobe PDF Reader -> Disable (So that the pdf should open in Browser).
Now I am able to Open the document in Client application but its not connected to SharePoint (
I am not able to do Check-in/Check-out/Save file back to SharePoint).
Can Any one Help me with this issue.
Also note Build number and CU :

Thanks in advance.

the option to open a PDF in the browser is based on the Web Application's list of allowed MIME types... it cannot be controlled on a per-library basis.

Out of Order Audiobook files

Hello All,
Just got my new iPod today. Upgraded from a iPod mini 4g t the new 30g. I am going to mainly use it for some Podcasts and audiobooks while I work.
As I was waiting to get my new iPod I downloaded some of my cd audio books into my library and some of the tracks are out of order. How, in my library do I put them back in order?
When I downloaded them into the library I copied them into a folder, in which they are in order, but as I said they are not in order in my library.
HELP ME PLEASE! =-(

Atleast what I do for my Audiobooks is I label the disc number(or book as disc) and also the track number.
You can do this by right clicking on a song then selecting Get Info and you can add in a Disc number and Track number.
This can be a slightly long process trust me, I've done all the harry potter audiobooks and Lord Of the Rings unabridged + The Hobbit this way.

Tables dropping out when saving PDF files

I have saved a document through writing to PDF in the Print dialog and also by exporting as PDF, but with the same results. In a 40 page document 3 of the tables get dropped out when saving so all I get is blank space where they should be.
Perhaps related is an interesting printing problem. When I print the entire document these same three tables are missing. But if I go back and print only the pages they appear on then the tables will print.
Any suggestions?

Happens with a Konika-Minolta Magicolor, a Brother 1470-N and an HP Laserjet.

Why can I not print out a pdf-file (train ticket NS) when downloaded with Firefox? (file says (SECURED)

When ordering and paying a train ticket by internet they send a pdf-file, which one must download and print. When downloading this with Firefox (from my e-mail account) the pdf-file says (SECURED) and I cannot print out the ticket (pdf-file). (Adobe program stops automatically).
When downloading this same pdf-file in Safari, I encounter no problems.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader application or set to "Always Ask" in "Firefox > Preferences > Applications".

How to Zoom in and Out on PDF files in Safari?

Safari help is not helpful since it gives inaccurate information on how to Zoom in and Out on a PDF file that has opened in Safari. The help says to control click the page and choose the zooming level you desire. However control clicking the PDF file in Safari brings up a save page box. I tried some of the other keys with clicking and they did not work. Thanks in advance to those who helped me save a PDF file to the desktop so I can view in Preview.- But often I just need to be able to zoom in to read the tiny text that is displayed.

Thanks for getting back to me-
the website I am trying to zoom into a PDF on is:
http://www.beedocuments.com/software/Timeline/screenshots.html
I click on one of the screenshots- it loads into a safari window.
When I control key click on the image- a pop up menu comes up asking me to save the image to deskotp- add it my image library and 2 other save options. No zoom in or Zoom out. I only have an apple pro mouse and my track pad- so right clicking isn't an option.

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
Summary :
We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
i.e
Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7.
Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
Did this issue occur with Office files?
I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
Thanks,
Victoria

Upload of pdf-file corrupts file

Hi please help
I'musing a bean from O'Reilly to upload files to my Tomcat 4.0.1 all on local machine.
Everything works out fine BUT PDF-files get corrupted in some way. Adope returns "Unrecognized token 'o5'".

int i = in.readLine(line, 0, 128);

return;
int boundaryLength = i - 2;
String boundary = new String(line, 0, boundaryLength); //-2 discards the newline character
fields = new Hashtable();
while (i != -1) {

How to update bookmarks when merging two PDF files?

We have a company catalog that gets generated once a night. It's three step process:
     Step 1) A raw XML file gets generated from our main ERP software (Microsoft Dynamics).
     Step 2) Then that raw XML file is ran against a stylesheet with XEP to produce a nice professional looking catalog.
     Step 3) And the third step is a script that merges the front and back covers with the main catalog produced in step 2. Each cover is two pages (front and back).
My problem is when step 3 runs it produces a final catalog but all the bookmarks are off by 2 pages because the front cover adds two pages in the very beginning. This post may be premature because up until now I've been merging the PDF pages with a program called "GhostScript" and it allows me to merge them via line command. I'm just now trying out AcroExch.App COM Object for VBScript so I'll see if it works but wanted to fire this out for help to see if anyone has encountered this or can confirm if Adobe automatically updates them for you? When I "Merge" the PDF files through Acrobat Pro they get updated automatically, so hopefully it will work the same way with AcroExch.App Object.   Thanks guy!

I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm saying... we are not performing tasks for non-licensed individuals. We purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard so we could create a PDF of our catalog. That catalog we then put on our website and let people download it. Since our products change all the time, we generate a new catalog every night. The term "server" is just a place where a script runs, I could have it run on my desktop computer if that's really an issue but I think we're talking semantics. Acrobat is not what produces the main catalog PDF, that is done through XEP when it runs through the raw XML produced by our ERP software every night. The only thing we want Acrobat to do is an automated process to merge 3 PDF files together: Front Cover, Main Catalog and Back Cover. That's it.   Are you saying that is against the EULA of Adobe for us to do that?
Now for the bookmark problem, what do you recommend I do then? When I merge all three of those PDF files in Acrobat Standard manually it works perfect. All I'm trying to do is automate that process once every night. I know how to automate with Acrobat, I just can't figure out how to fix the bookmark problem?
