Change Insert from File preferences

Hi folks,
the default for the Insert from File are set to .pdf and therefore I only see a window with pdf files. Commonly I want to see all files and so I have to change the drop down menu to see ALL FILES.
Is there a way of permanently changing from .pdf to All Files?
Thanks you
Peter

thanks,
while it is not a permanent solution it is a reasonable work around - thank you

Default Navigation Pane view after Insert From File

For some reason the Navigation Pane switches to the Page Thumbnails after the Insert From File command is used in Acrobat XI Professional. This did not happen in Acrobat 9, 7, 6, or 5.
I've looked through various help material and forums to see if this is a preference that can be changed (i.e., either not set a default and maintain current Navigation Pane view (the method of the previous versions), or set a default to something other than Page Thumbnails (e.g., Bookmarks)) and have not been able to find a solution.
I can use Insert from File up to 200 times in a day, and this little glitch is proving to be very frustrating.

Insert from File puts an Adobe ad in my document

I'm on a deadline to get a document out tonight. The document consists of 6 pages. The first two were brought in by my scanner and saved as PDF. Then I opened that document and used Tools | Insert from File to add 4 existing 1-page PDF documents to the end of my first document. This seemed to go okay until I reviewed the resulting PDF document. In place of page #3 is an ad for Adobe Acrobat/Reader. There is a big logo and then the text,
For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later."
When I try to delete the page, the original page does not show up. When I re-insert the page, I get the ad. If I re-insert at a different location in the document, I get the ad. I've never had this happen before. What is going on and how can I get rid of it?
Thanks,
Dave
Acrobat 10.1.8

The page is not an ad. It is displayed INSTEAD OF what you want to see when the viewer doesn't understand what to do, and is the best it can do. So check your versions and software. if all seems well a full screen shot showing the Acrobat window and the message may be best. Also, do you get other messages e.g. about installing Flash?

What suggestions do you have to prevent a duplicate Logins.Login? None of the inserts for all three tables should occur if a login already exists in the Logins table. There should be a message to indicate which Login failed. I haven't yet decided if I want
all of the logins in the text file to fail if there is a duplicate, or just the one with the duplicate. I'm open to suggestions on that. So far, the duplicates only occur when someone forgets to update the tabbed delimited file and accidently runs the procedure
on an old one. I'm sure I can come up with an if statement that will accomplish this. I could maybe use WHERE EXISTS or WHERE NOT EXISTS. But I know I can get a good solution here.
I'm also aware that duplicates could be prevented in the table design. Again, I didn't design it.
I have a tab delimited file created but don't see a way to attach it.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks to all three that replied. I meant to mark the question as answered sooner. I've tried all the suggestions on a test system. All will work with maybe some slight variations. Below was my temporary quick fix. I'm working on switching to a permanent
solution based on the replies.

VISIO insert from file problem

I have been running some VBA code in MS Access for some time (3+) years, but the code is now giving me some issues. When I wrote the code, I was using Windows XP, VISIO 2007, MS Access 2007, and Adobe Reader. Since then several migrations have happened to me. I moved to VISIO 2010 (code still worked). I moved to Office 2010 which included Access 2010 and had VISIO 2010 re-installed (code still worked). I then had the full Adobe Acrobat installed (unsure of version, but the code still worked). Recently, I was migrated to Windows 7, which required a re-installation of Office 2010, VISIO 2010, and Adobe Acrobat (now version XI PRO). Since that time, my code is giving me problems. I have the following line of code in an Access VBA program:
Set shpOBJ = visapp.activewindow.page.InsertFromFile(Stacking_rpt, visInsertAsEmbed
This code is intended to insert a report (named stacking_rpt), on a VISIO sheet as an imbedded report. That is, the contents of Stacking_rpt is embeded onto the VISIO sheet and shows as a report. Since this last upgrade, this line of code produces an Adobe Acrobat icon with the words Stacking_rpt.PDF under the ICON.
My boss also had her machine upgraded at the same time. She runs the same code from the same Access database as I do and hers runs fine. The only difference that I can see is that she only has Acrobat reader not the full application. This leads me to believe that there is a setting/option in either Adobe or Access which is causing my issue. I have reviewed all of the options in both, but have not been able to identify anything that might be related to this issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?

This is actually a question better suited to the Adobe Acrobat SDK forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_sdk
You are probably just viewing the resulting PDF file from you solution and the way to call Acrobat and Reader is now a little different if you are using DDE.
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/what-developers-need-to-know-about-acrobat-x
Big Changes in the DDE Naming Convention
In the previous releases, it was possible that a PDF file would not open in the default handler if other applications were open. For example, even if Acrobat Reader was set as default handler for PDF files, the PDF files would open in Acrobat if Acrobat was installed and running. This could lead to issues, especially for sandboxing applications.
In this release, the PDF files open in the default handler even if other applications that can read PDF files are open. In the example cited earlier, the PDF now opens in Reader, even if Acrobat is running.
To implement this feature, there has been a change to the DDE naming convention—the DDE server name has been made unique for Acrobat and for Reader. The new naming convention is as follows:
Acroview{A|R}{MajorVersion} where {A|R} refer to Acrobat and Reader respectively.
For example, the name is AcroViewA10 for Acrobat X and AcroViewR10 for Reader 10.
For connecting to previous versions of Acrobat/Reader, the DDE connect string name continues to be “acroview”. You can get the correct name by using the “DDEAPPNAME” macro defined in WinAppSemaphore.h.
NOTE: Any scripts that have hard-coded references to the DDE name will have to be updated.

Insert from File command

I have a large document and need to import several other PDFs into this document.
When importing multiple documents in one go can you choose or edit the order in which they're imported? I ask this because I have a folder with say, 20 PDFs, and instead of importing the documents in the order in which they appear, it imports the last document first and so on. If any of these imported docs have bookmarks contained within then it also adds these at the end of the document.
I'm using Pro XI on a PC.
Many thanks in anticiption, and merry Xmas!
Regards,
Gary

I don't have an answer on the bookmarks, but have found that the reverse order has been the case for several versions of Acrobat and it nothing new. It can be frustrating.

How do I change Bridge CC file association preferences from CS6?

I've changed Bridge CC file associations from CS6 manually to Photoshop CC. It remembers only for the open session then reverts back.

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

BULK INSERT from a text (.csv) file - read only specific columns.

I am using Microsoft SQL 2005, I need to do a BULK INSERT from a .csv I just downloaded from paypal. I can't edit some of the columns that are given in the report. I am trying to load specific columns from the file.
bulk insert Orders
FROM 'C:\Users\*******\Desktop\DownloadURL123.csv'
   WITH
              FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
                FIRSTROW = 2,
                ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
So where would I state what column names (from row #1 on the .csv file) would be used into what specific column in the table.
I saw this on one of the sites which seemed to guide me towards the answer, but I failed.. here you go, it might help you:
FORMATFILE [ = 'format_file_path' ]
Specifies the full path of a format file. A format file describes the data file that contains stored responses created using the bcp utility on the same table or view. The format file should be used in cases in which:
The data file contains greater or fewer columns than the table or view.
The columns are in a different order.
The column delimiters vary.
There are other changes in the data format. Format files are usually created by using the bcp utility and modified with a text editor as needed. For more information, see bcp Utility.

Do you need more than 2 rows? I did not include all the columns from the actual csv file but most of it, I am planning on taking to the first table these specfic columns: date, to email address, transaction ID, item title, item ID, buyer ID, item URL.
The other table, I don't have any values from here because I did not list them, but if you do this for me I could probably figure the other table out.
Thank you very much.

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

How do I insert one file into another with track changes intact?

I gather that Pages does not have a way to insert a file into a document in the way that Word has insert file. So all we can do is copy an entire document and then paste it into the second document. But when I do that I lose the track changes, except for the odd comment. What is the way around this?

I'm assuming you're wanting to insert the contents of one Pages document into another. I don't have a need to use tracking, so I'm not sure if this applies but I think it should.
You can insert sections from one Pages document into another. Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. If you want to insert the other content into the middle of a section in the receiving document, you will need to insert section breaks at the point you want to insert. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - e.g. from Word to All Files

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - most recently specifically in Adobe Acrobat, from Adobe Files to All Files, so I don't have to do it again and again manually. Is this possible? Is it an OS setting or an app-specific setting?

The Apps set the default to the file type it can open, sort of. However, there normally isn't a type specified. All document types that the app can handle will be offered.
Adobe, and Microsoft, tend to roll their own dialogs, so they may not be standard. I don't have Acrobat, so I can't verify that. If Adobe is puting a file type selector in their open file dialogs, it would be up to them to store the preferences.
EDIT: I checked Reader, and i see what you mean. Not terribly useful.

How to insert contract line item from file using any bapi

Hi gurus,
Just wanted to ask how can I insert new line item which were created from a file
when updating/changing contract details.
The requirement was to create new line item from a file and use those details in updating the contracts.
What BAPI can I use to address this requirement?
Thanks!

Hi Rajvansh Ravi,
This is for Service Contracts. Sorry for missing this detail.
Hi Tarangini Katta,
I have already used BAPI_CONTRACT_CHANGE, and it was good in updating existing line items,
but it doesn't update the contract when a new line item is created in the file.
To make a clearer view of the flow (requirement)
First scenario:
      From the tcode (ME32K or ME33K), we can download contract details into an excel file for a particular service contract.
Next scenario:
      That same excel file (downloaded) can be enhanced per line item (can also insert new line) and be saved locally.
Next scenario:
      This same excel file can also be uploaded. And the changes done to the file have to overwrite or rather have to changed the details of the same contract and then will appear/reflect in the tcode.
With this, if we had a new line item created (inserted) on the file (not change), we can not see the changes when we view the same contract in the tcode. (ME33K)
Do you have any idea how the insertion from the file can be reflected on the tcode using an existing bapi?
Hope this was clear enough...
Thanks and hope to hear something from you soon.

How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.
