Can I print to AdobePDF with a pre-determined output file name?

I have a list of PDF files that I need to reduce in size. I have tried many combinations of Adobe's "Save As Reduced PDF", "Save As Optimized PDF", as well as several compression programs. The best results I've found have been to print the PDF via AdobePDF, using the standard quality settings.
This leads me to my problem. It's simple to batch the print process to print multiple files to AdobePDF, however each one requires the user to specify the output file name. Is there a way to interface with the AdobePDF tool in a way that the output file name is already determined? I.e. passed into the program as an argument? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
     Dan
EDIT: Under the Adobe PDF Settings, the option for Adobe PDF OUtput Folder is set for Prompt for Adobe PDF filename. There is also an option to dump to Documents\*.pdf, which retains the original filename. Is there a way to specify a different directory, rather than Documents, while retaining the *.pdf argument? Again, thank you.

You would probably get better results printing from Acrobat. The HTMLLoader rasterizes the image first. You could possibly add a JavaScript function inside the PDF that prints and call that from your AIR app.
See http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/scripting_pdf.html for information on calling JS functions in a pdf file from AIR.

  • Can i print a spreadsheet with formulas?

    Can I print a spreadsheet with formulas instead of the product of the formula?

    As Wayne wrote, you may print the document with the list of formulas but sometimes I use an other scheme.
    (a) duplicate the document
    (b) select the entire table(s)
    (c) apply the format 'Text'
    (d) ajust cells size to display the entire formulas

  • How can I print a JTable with varying sized rows?

    How can I print a JTable with varying sized rows?
    I am using java 1.5, and have made a cell renderer to display multiple lines in rows and it works well, however when I use the new print method it doesn't separate the cells onto the next page, it cuts them and will print the rest of the row on the next page. Does anyone know how I might go about making this happen?
    cheers

    I finally found out the reason, The column heights were being set through my renderer. If I hadn't viewed them in the scrollpane the row heights were set to the default height of 16 therefore when the print method was called it clipped all the rows wrong, what is weird though is that the row height printed out correctly but the clipping area was set wrong because it was getting the default value of 16 from rowHeight(row).

  • I can not print web pages with my HP Deskjet 5440

    I can not print web pages with my HP Deskjet 5440.  I use Vista, no error page, just prints a blank page with headers and footers.  Recently reinstalled printer driver from HP.

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that since upgrading your Mac OS X 10.10 computer to Mac OS X 10.10.4 you have been unable to print colour photos wirelessly from your HP Officejet 5740 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this colour printing issue. To be honest, it does sound like Mac may have loaded the generic Apple Airprint driver on your printer rather then the HP Full Feature Software and Driver package. Should this be the case then you will only have basic print capabilities. Please follow the steps below to confirm that your HP Officejet is utilising the correct driver on your Mac.   
    1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences. 2. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list. 3. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer.  4. Click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, 5. Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Ensure that the Officejet driver is selected and not the Airprint driver.
      6. Click Add to add the printer to the list.  Once your printer has been installed with the correct HP driver, please test printing a colour photo to confirm that the issue has been resolved. Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should the issue persist there are additional software and driver troubleshooting steps I will have you perform. I look forward to hearing from you!

    when I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?

    Make sure that '''''Print to File''''' isn't selected in the native print dialog box ''(see screenshot below)'' middle-right, and make sure your Printer is selected at the top of that dialog box.

  • Cannot Print - Output File Name Requsted - Help

    I'm having problems printing.  I am using Reader 8 and everytime i try to print, a print to file box pops up, and requests and output file name and i don't know what that is.  Can anyone please tell me what this means and how i can resolve this issue. I can print everything else and there is no problem with my printer. I think the problem is w/ Reader.  Thanks.

    Delete ALL instances of your printer in the Printes & Faxes control panel. If your printer isn't using the latest drivers from the manufacturer Website, download/install them, then reconnect to your printer to add it back to your system. Once the printer with the latest drivers is reinstalled, see if Reader doesn't print correctly now.
    Let me know how it goes!

  • Read Document in FileUtilities  cannot search a file with french character in the file name

    Hi,
    I am trying to search a file with french character in the file name like 'captures écran.doc' in my unix server directory, and Write the file somewhere, say in a list of documents or, write on file system to another directory.
    I am using to Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation, but it cannot read the file due to french character in its name. Although it can find any other file name without these french characters.
    Tried renaming but that also cannot find the file with french character name.
    Please provide any idea to solve it using LC operation.
    Regards,
    Rohan Raj.

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for the post, but I have already found a solution to it a month ago. Sorry for not posting the solution.
    You just have to set the '-Djava.property.file.encoding=ISO8859-1' into JVM argument of your server startup, and bounce the server back to pick the new JVM arg set. And now the service Read Document in FileUtilities of Foundation will read all french characters.
    ISO8859-1refers to "Latin alphabet no. 1," consisting of 191 characters from the Latin script. This character-encoding scheme is used throughout The Americas,Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa. It is also commonly used in most standard romanizations of East-Asian languages.
    regards,
    Rohan Raj.

  • Serving up files with Russian chars in the file name

    Anyone know how to get CF 8 to serve up CFM files with
    Russian characters in the file name? I can get IIS to server up
    .html files but .cfm files turn in to ?????????.cfm files.
    For example, this:
    новостииобновления.cfm
    becomes this ??????????????.cfm and throws a CF error (File Not
    Found) when clicking on the link. The strange thing is I can see
    the Russian characters in the status bar when I mouse over the link
    but CF can't handle it. And IIS will serve up the file and replace
    all the chars with their URL entity equivalent.
    Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    else
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    end if
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to run
    If you change your mind later, run the script again.

  • Can we remove timestamp which is added infront of the file name, in archive

    Can we remove timestamp which is added infront of the file name of datafile which was imported succesfully , in archive folder, i have a requriment to move file from archive folder  to another folder, but programmer is finding diffficulty in moving the file which has time stamp, he can move file with date stamp, but not able to move file which has time stamp, is there is any option in MDIS.Ini file or anywhere in import manager or console to modify the file names , or remove timestamp when file is moved in archive folder.
    does anyone faced similar issue, require help.........

    Hi,
    Moving file from Ready directory to Archive directory is MDM internal process and I strongly feel it is not possible to control the naming convention of File to be placed in Archive directory.
    But you can explain what problem you developer is facing while moving file from Archive directory to some other directory..then we can think about solution to acheive this. Also on which operating system you MDM server is installed.

    You can't with the built-in Photos app, but there are apps such as iPhoto which allow you to see the exposure details (aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO). PhotoMeta also shows you that info

  • Can't print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Vista

    I am unable to print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Windows Vista.  I used to be able to, now all of a sudden that functionality is gone.  I haven't knowingly done any upgrades since the last time I successfully printed to pdf, but I do have autoupdates enabled, so I can't say what Microsoft may have been up to recently.  When printing to pdf from Internet Explorer 7, the window simply closes.  A printer icon shows up in the system tray but registers 0 print jobs and soon disappears.  When printing to pdf from Word (2003), Word crashes with a series of message boxes saying something about attempting recovery.  Any suggestions?

    AcroTray is running.  Thanks for asking that question, as this is one thing that I have disabled on computers running XP, since disabling it in XP doesn't adversely affect my limited use of Acrobat in any way.  I have not disabled it with Vista.  I tried printing to file, and that also caused the window to close.  I happened to have a second IE7 window open when attempting to print to file, and it did not close, so it only affects the active window.  I don't know if that helps at all; when a program crashes, I typically observe it take with it all open windows associated with that program, so the fact that this is only closing the active window seems potentially useful to me in my ignorance of what is the root cause. 

  • Can you print from DOS with Photosmart Premium C410 a ?

    Installed printer but cant print from DOS.Can this printer be used to print from DOS Works fine printing from Windows XP
    Thanks

    First, AirPrint is not something you buy. It's built into iOS.
    Second, John asked if you could print from an iPad with a cable:
    Can you print from an I pad with a cable?
    Third, in your reply to me, you said "you can" which would imply that one can print from an iPad via a cable, which again cannot be done.
