Change the .tiff extension to .tif as a default in Acrobat Pro 9?
I work in the legal industry and we use Acrobat all the time to convert PDFs to LZW compressed B&W Tiff for use in trial presentation software. Lately, we've noticed that Acrobat Pro 9 is saving the files with a .tiff extension rather than the .tif extension. The ".tiff" extension might be great for Mac, but we're in a Windows environment and we bought Acrobat Pro 9 for Windows - not Mac. This is a problem because the Windows software that we are using, TrialDirector 5.2, only accepts a .3 extension such as .tif, .jpg, etc.
I've experimented with this issue and can't resolve the matter on a permanent level. It appears to be a random occurrence and I can't tell if it's because some PDF files are optimized and others are not or what the secret formula to this is. Even in a batch process, some will be saved with a .tiff extension and others will have a .tif extension. If I change the extension to .tif in the file name during a "save as" the program will continue to save it that way as long as I don't exit the program. Once exited, you have to open Acrobat again, "save as" ".tif" - it may save it that way, it may save it as .tiff, but after deleting the .tiff files and doing a "save as" or batch process again, it will usually save the files with a ".tif" extension.
Is there a preferences file somewhere in Acrobat or Distiller that can be edited manually, that will keep the extension to ".tif" rather than ".tiff"?
I really want to avoid having to use a bulk rename utility for the thousands of documents we process considering Acrobat 8 didn't have this problem.
Bumping this thread up in hopes that someone will have an answer.
I absolutely hate the fact that Acrobat 9 insists upon using ".tiff" rather than ".tif" under Windows 7.
This creates problems when existing TIFF files are linked to other publications and all I want to do is change some information in the PDF file and re-export, and instead of overwriting the existing .tif file, it creates a .tiff file which is a distinctly different file, and is not the one being linked to.
Help?

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export. TX
Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export with this script in photoshop For MAC:
Chris Cox wrote:
The file extensions are written by the export plugin. (which incidentally has a comment that two studios wanted all caps extensions, but I failed to write down which ones in the comments)
To change the filenames, you'd want to add something at the end of doExportLUTs() that uses the supplied path and substitutes the desired extensions, then renames the file.
Thank you
// Export Color Lookup Tables automation in JavaScript

Changing the file extension in Oracle Spool
Hi All,
I need to spool some specific data for the entire year. I'm using date parameter for selecting the month wise data.
In single parameter I’m retrieving file_name,From_date and to_date.
But by default spool file is getting generated with .lst extension, Please let me know if any one has any idea for changing the file extension in spool, Below is code for your reference.
SET heading off;
SET termout off;
DEFINE L_DATE=&P_DATE; --here I’m passing Month and year value e.g. ‘JAN-09’
DEFINE L_FILENAME='Invoice_Header_&L_DATE';
SPOOL d:/&L_FILENAME;
SELECT invoice_id || invoice_date
FROM apps.ap_invoices_all
WHERE invoice_date >= '01-&L_DATE'
AND invoice_date <= last_day('01-&L_DATE')
AND ROWNUM <= 2;
SPOOL off; Thanks in Advance,

Pse 7 changes the file extensions, by using a -1 up to 6 times on a photo, how to stop this problem.
I cannot keep up with my photos, they somehow change the file extension by adding
a -1 over and over, how can I stop this process
to keep a single file extension?I checked out the backup/sync, it is not turned on after checking. Also I do not have a second computer as a backup, I use an Esata drive of 1 TB.
I have a photo called Rose.jpg, later I try to open the file and it tell be its lost. I try to reconnect, no luck, then I manually try to find the file and its called Rose-1.jpg or up to Rose-1-1-1-1-1-1.jpg or Rose-1-1-1-1-1-1_edited.jpg. I do not understand what is taking place in my computer with my photos. I have about 17,000 photos and I am having a real problem.
Any help would be appreciated. sghmotorhome -

Cannot change the Canvas Extension Color from "Background" to a color of my choosing. Is this a glitch, or is there some setting that I can change?
It depends on how exactly you are doing it but to change the background, I suggest watch this video:

Changed platforms to mac and wish to use my registered acrobat pro
Have recently changed platforms to mac and wish to use my registered acrobat pro... please help
Do you have Acrobat 10 or an older version? If you have a copy of Acrobat 10 then you can complete the process detailed in Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap to obtain a Mac OS version.
If you have an older version then you will want to purchase the upgrade to Acrobat 10. We no longer offer older versions of Acrobat. -

Downloaded Acrobat Assistant but the window with language option does not appear and Acrobat Pro II free trial does not download. I have signed in successfully. Why?
Hi irenedix,
After Adobe Download Assistant is installed, you can start it at any time and select a product to download at the bottom of the window. The list updates as new products become available to download with the Adobe Download Assistant.
Please refer : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/download-assistant-faq.html#main_How_do_ I_download_a_trial_version_of_Creative_Suite_or_Elements_software_
Alternatively you can try downloading it from the direct download links available at: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html

Changing the file extension by entering a "?" in JFileChooser
Hi,
I've encountered a weird thing in JFileChooser. If you open the chooser, type at least one "?" in the field for the filename and then hit the approve button, the file extension will change to the text you entered as the filename.
To reproduce this problem, simply launch the JWSFileChooserDemo hit the "Open a File..."-button and as the filename enter something like "?deadbeef". Now click the open button and you will see that the file extension changes to "?deadbeef".
This is a really strange behaviour in my opinion.
I'm using Windows 7 with java 6u16, but the issue is the same on windows xp sp3. Perhaps on linux too. I'll give it a try as soon as I can.
Has anyone else encountered that problem?
Best regards
Edited by: Wurstsalat on Mar 23, 2010 10:30 AMTo reproduce this problemThis is not a problem but rather a feature. I did not know of this till now. Thanks for informing.
As Kevin pointed out this is related to filtering of files.
?deadbeefThis will match all the files which start with any letter followed by "deadbeef". So, ? is a wildcard meaning any one character. Other wildcard can be *, which means any number of characters. Try this:
*.txt
a*.txt
*.jp*g
??.txt I don't know other wildcards...
Thanks! -
How do I make the file extension (ie: .tif, .jpg, .eps) in OS 9.2 visible?
I'm trying to transfer files from an old G3 (OS 9.2) to a new G5 (OS 10.5.8). Most files do not show the extension in their name. For example, an Illustrator eps has the file name "layout_final". When I transfer it to the new machine, it recognizes it as an .EXE file and cannot open. If I type in the .eps file extension, where is now reads "layout_final.eps", it then opens in Illustrator. I don't want to have to resort to manually adding in the file extension to every file. Is there a way in OS 9.2 to automatically show/turn on the extension in the file name?
Thanks for the help!
SteveHow are you transferring the files ?
It sounds like you're going through some sort of Windows / DOS formatted media.
If you can network the two Macs together instead, do so.
If you can burn a CD or two on the Mac G3, do so.
If you have to use a USB stick, format it to Mac HFS Extended (aka HFS+) on either and use that.
The key is that if you transfer the files using something formatted for Mac, the file metadata should not be lost, and the files will appear on the G5 as expected, assuming that you have suitable apps to open the files in OSX 10.5 -
How can I change the view size to make it my default?
the view size is way too small with pages that I open on Firefox. I want to change the size and I want to make it my default so I don't have to click on zoom in everytime I open Firefox. Where can I change this? I have Windows Vista.
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Is it possible to change the settings in AR Properties Advanced tab with Adobe Acrobat XI?
I noticed when I went to print a PDF double sided, that despite the following the guidelines from Adobe on this process, it still printed single sided. I checked the properties of the PDF itself and on the Advanced tab, the DuplexMode was set to Simplex and was greyed out.
Is it possible to change the settings in that tab with Adobe Acrobat XI?
Regards
SharonDear Sara
Thank you for your reply.
I have two printers, both support automatic duplexing. Any PDF we receive
or create we are unable to print double sided on our mac mini¹s. I didn¹t
make it clear in my question that we were fine on Windows XP, but, having
recently changed to Mac have encountered this frustrating problem.
I did a lot of research prior to recording the question and it appears I am
not the only one who has come across this problem, and I have followed the
guidelines that Adobe promote on their website to be able to print double
sided, which doesn¹t work on the mac mini Osx Mavericks.
Because the Properties, Advanced tab has ³Print Dialog Presets² that are set
to simplex and greyed out I took that to mean that no matter what printer
settings I make, and I think I¹ve gone through all that I can, the pdf will
not print double sided on Mac but will on XP.
Sorry this isn¹t the reply you must have been hoping for and look forward to
receiving further advice in regard to this matter.
Regards
Sharon
