Change default filename at 'save as' prompt

Hi, I've been using Acrobat 5 for years and been wanting to switch to the latest and greatest for a while now.  However I notices a severe format change in how Adobe PDF automatically names the files it asks you to save to disk.  In Distiller 5, it would save it just as what the file is called.  "Document.PDF".  In Adobe PDF it calls "Microsoft Word - Document.PDF".   How do I go about changing this back to the way it was in Acrobat 5?  I don't want it saving my files as "Program Name" + "Filename".  I just want it saved as "Filename" only.  Is there a way to do this?  Thank you.

I am not sure what steps got you here. If you are printing, then you use the Adobe PDF printer. Distiller is not needed, but is invoked as needed by AcroTray that runs in the background (basically the same process as with AA5, except for the name change). I have never seen the "MicroSoft Word ..." naming that you mention and that is why I am asking. To be able to help, I need to be able to replicate the process you are using. So, information on your OS, the version of WORD, and the specific steps to get to the point of this naming would help.

  • Change default format in "save as" file format window

    I month ago I asked the following question...
    "How do I change the file format order that is listed in the "save as" file format window? Instead of having "Photoshop" listed as the default file, I'd like to have JPEG at the top, then TIFF, PSD, etc. I have to constantly scroll down the list to find JPEG."
    Recently while selecting JPEG in the "save as" format window, I accidently selected "Large Document Format" while holding down either "control", "option", "apple key", or "shift", or a combination of keys. Now the default format in the format window is "Large Document Format" (ext.PSB). I've changed the default from "Photoshop" which is still listed at the top, to "Large Document Format". I'd like to change the default to "JPEG" but I cannot replicate the correct key(s) to change the default format in the window.

    Hello TomGroup...
    I did not receive a satisfactory answer to the question. Yes, you can go
    into the Scripts but that is for experts and it is too much work.
    Aloha... Darrell

    Subject: Change default format in "save as" file
    format window
    Any updates on this issue?
    I have a similar situation in that no matter what I'm working on, when I
    click "Save As' then the default format option is always .tiff    If I save
    as jpg and then go onto my next file, the default is still tiff again when I
    try to save  No matter what I try, tiff is also my default selection.  It's
    just one of those things that takes a mere 5 seconds to click the dropdown
    and select .jpg, but 5 seconds times a couple hundred files per day...it
    adds up.

  • Need to specify default filename for SaveAs

    I am using the command app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); in the click event of a button. Is there anyway that I can specify a default filename for the user? I do want the user to get the Save As window and the ability to change the name if possible.
    The form is generated by the RenderForm Java script, and the name being generated as a default for the SaveAs window is RenderForm.pdf
    Thanks,
    Velvet

    Chris, I think you missed this one.
    I think you want to change the name when calling app.SaveAs via javascript from the client not on the server. Since app.executeMenuItem("saveAs") will not take any parameters to suggest a file name. I think you will have to use doc.saveAs which will allow the name to be specified. This would require a trustedFunction which may or will not work unless you have known users. You will also need to prompt for the file name before making the call.
    Here is some untested code to get you started...
    You will need to create a trustedFunction (see AcroJS.pdf for details) ..
    saveFunc = app.trustedFunction(function (filename) {
    app.beginPriv();
    try {
    event.target.saveAs({cPath: filename});
    } catch (err) {
    app.alert("Error: " + err);
    app.endPriv();
    Code for your event...
    var suggestedName = "MyPDFName.pdf";
    // Note This will only work if you know where they will be saving it
    var cPathToSaveTo = "/c/temp/";
    var cResponse = app.response({
    cQuestion: "What name would you like to use for this PDF?",
    cTitle: "File Name",
    cDefault: suggestedName,
    cLabel: "File Name:" })
    if(cResponse != null)
    saveFunc(cPathToSaveTo + cResponse );
    Hope this helps.

  • Dynamically change of filename and save as pdf on LINUX

    Hello,
    currently we're facing the following problems:
    We have to create a report that will have to run several times. It should be avoided that the rdf has to be called more than one time.
    After the run, the report should create a pdf which has to be saved in a directory on LINUX with a distinct filename e.g. rep_nnnnnn_hhmiss.pdf.
    How can we implement that?
    Best regards
    Markus

    Hi,
    You can use Advanced Distribution to save the output file using a name based on a report variable.
    It's fairly involved so you may need to look up Creating Advanced Distributions in the Oracle documentation.
    But essentially you need to create a distribution XML file that looks something like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE destination SYSTEM "file:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/dtd/distribution.dtd">
    <destinations>
    <foreach>
    <file id="DEST1" name="\temp\&amp;&lt;rpt_name&gt;.pdf" format="pdf" instance="this">
    <include src="report"/>
    </file>
    </foreach>
    </destinations>
    rpt_name will be a field of the same name in the report. Set this field in the main query in the data model, perhaps using a sequence and sysdate in your case. You will also need to set the Repeat On property on the Main Section in Paper Layout to the name of the group that this field is in.
    Then you just need to add the following parameters to the URL you use to call the report:
    DISTRIBUTE=yes&DESTINATION=$ORACLE_HOME/reports/distribution/filename.xml
    With Destination being the name and location of the distribution XML file.
    The reports server then uses the XML file to control the output of the report.
    Cheers,
    Toby.

  • Avoid "Do you want to save changes to filename before closing?"

    Hi,
    When I open a reader enabled form and close it without doing anything it prompts "Do you want save changes to <filename> before closing?". How to get rid of this? I tried the below code in the layout ready event of a button but still no effect.
    event.target.dirty=false;
    event.target.requiresFullSave=false;
    Any solution is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

    Hi radzmar,
    The message pops out when I click on the close button in the adobe reader. How to avoid that?
    Thanks.

  • Set default filename for file save dialog on Save button click

    Hi,
    I am using AxAcroPDF (version 9.0) control to view pdf files in windows forms (C#). The pdf loads into the viewer in the form. Now, when I click on the Save button in the viewer, a Save dialog pops up with a default filename having complete path info.
    If I have loaded the pdf file into AxAcroPDF viewer with filename:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\KB_Kravi\My Documents\CustomerList.pdf"
    then in the save dialog, the default filename will be:
    "C_Documents_and_Settings_KB_Kravi_My Documents_CustomerList.pdf"
    Is there any option to set the default filename in the save dialog to some short name, instead of this lengthy name?
    Thanks,
    Ravi.

  • How do you determine what the default filename is when you do a SaveAs?

    I have a shcedule that I saved and now I want to save it as a .pdf file, so I go into File, SaveAs and select .pdf in the drop down and the default filename is "document" not what the name of my schedule was.  Where is that set?  How
    do I make it default to the name of the MS Project Filename?
    Thanks,
    Casey

    Hi Casey,
    Which version, SP and CU do you have? Trying with Project 2010 SP1, the original file name is kept whatever extension selected in the "save as" dialog box.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to change default save as location

    hi,
    how to change default save as location in acrobat 7.0?

    Why is Acrobat involved in this process at all? Why don't you save directly the pdf from your email program directly where you want it to be? Acrobat is just adding another step to this process.

    Did you test this? It works fine for me.

  • Changing default project save type CS5.5 to CS5

    Hi all
    would anyone be able to help explain whether it is possible to change the default save as to a CS5, rather than going to file-save as.
    thanks for any help!

    The default is the latest version and you cannot change that, so to save to the earlier you need to use save as.

  • Changing default save format?

    Hi, I'm a newbie here.
    I almost always make my outputs in Wav, 16bit, 22050Hz, and I find it very cumbersome to always have to change each setting when saving my files.
    Is there any option, or an easier way to change default save format?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I change the screen capture default filename and location?

    AS3 and AS4 screen capture keystrokes create badly named files in a bad location, i.e., picture1.png, picture2.png, etc. on the desktop. This is silly, as it creates un-differentiable files. I would at least like to change the filename template, and at best also the location that they go to, but I can't figure out how to do this, if it's even possible. (The filename should have a timestamp, not just a sequence number, for example: picture_200911181234.png or whatever -- pretty much anything but a simple sequence number!)

    Use TinkerTool to change the download location for the screenshots. However, AFAIK, you're stuck with those names unless you a folder action to the download location such that it will change the names according to some scheme you devise. For that, try a google search for *folder actions mac*.
