Changing The File Type On Multiple Documents Simultaneously

I have over 100 documents that I want to end in ".aif". Is there a way to do this in one pass? I would, if possible, prefer not to have to go through each and every doc individually and change them manually. I've done the very thing on enough ocassions and it's very time consuming to say the least.
I opened Automator, but it didn't seem to have anything for this function. I selected all the files and did a mass "information" (apple "i"), but was not allowed to change the name and extension area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much one and all in advance for all the help and support,
Javier Calderon

Thank you both. Niel, I shall look at some of the options available on the link you provided and see what occurs.
Gnarl, regarding the Applescript, I just took a look at it, and, although it at first glance looks pretty intimidating, I think that this might be the very thing that will get the job done . . . no? I'll try to follow the instructions, cross my fingers, and hope for the best.
Thank you both again.
Javier

Page Snapshot on Mac using Shift+Command+4, can I change the file type?

Is there a way to have this feature save the screen shot as a .jpg or something other than .png?
Thanks for The help!

Actually you can change the file type, using a defaults write command in Terminal. Whatever you select changes the file type for all screenshots until/unless you globally change it again. All OnyX does is run this command in the program's interface--if you don't know how to use Terminal you may prefer this. If you want to use Terminal, you would launch it, then copy this command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
Paste it into the Terminal window and then press the Return key. I believe you need to restart for the change to take effect.

How to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file

how to change the file type from IMOVIE PROJECT to other types of file??
thank you very much for your help=]

I am not sure what you mean, but once you make a project. Then go to the share menu and you can export the project to iDVD, itunes, mobileme, quicktime.
Share export quicktime movie will allow you to export to a variety of codecs. What specific export are you looking to share the movie in? What is the final source that the movie will be displayed?

I uploaded and edited my RAW image, clicked 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg.

I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!

When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores. Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

When replacing an .indd on creative cloud, it changes the file-type

I have uploaded a few InDesign (.indd) files from cs5.5 to my creative cloud account so I can share them with my team for approval / feedback. If I try and replace the file with a newer version (still .indd from cs5.5) it changes the file type to octet-stream and it can't be viewed.
Restoring back to the ORIGINAL version brings back the original, as an indesign file, and it is viewable again.
Am I doing something wrong when replacing a file? This seems like the logical way of doing it (they even refer to them as revisions, as that seems to be the point)

My workplace uses CS5.5. I'm in the process of convincing them to move to CC by personally signing up to the month/month plan (however this isn't helping).
I am uploading using Chrome Version 29.0.1547.66 m.

[CS3][JS] How to get the file type of current document

Hi,
How to get the file type of current opening document (e.g., tif, jpeg, png) using JavaScript with Photoshop CS3.
I am using file object the open the files one by one in the folder (the files sometimes don't have the extensions).
If the current document is in tiff format then I need to convert to 8-bit, if its an Jpg image then needs to ignore the file.
Regards,
Karthik

Do you really need to know the file type? What about just checking the bit depth?
var doc = activeDocument;
if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) {//Not 8 bit
doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
//do your save etc
}else{
//Ignore

Newbie stuck - how do I change the file type of a photo I am formatting from a TIFF to a JPG?

I am new to Aperture and struggling to figure out some of the basics, even with the tutorials. I need to submit a photo for an art competition - the master is a TIFF and I need a JPG under 1.8 MB - how do I change the new version's file type and keep it with the master?
Thank you in advance.

I can't recommend the method proposed by Carolyn Samit; in fact, I recommend ignoring it.
Aperture is large, complex, and can take some time to learn to use. It is also quite powerful, and can handle nearly all -- or all -- common tasks you throw at it.
I have written a very short guide to Aperture which was intended to provide some firm footing for those getting started. I humbly suggest that you start with a quick review.
One of the things that presents a bit of disorientation for new users is that, in practice, Aperture keeps your pictures in a kind of limbo. There are good reasons for this -- suffice it for now to accept that you import image-format digital files into Aperture, you use Aperture to organize and optimize these as Images, and then when need a file to use outside of Aperture, you export you Image. It is at export that you format your Image: you select the file type, the compression amount, the file name, the file size, and more.
In your case, then, you will export your Version, and set the file type to TIFF (recommended above JGP whenever quality is paramount). There is no way to know the file size in bytes prior to creating it. Start with a full-size TIFF and, if necessary, knock it down by percentage until the exported file is less than 1.8 MB.
There is no reason to attempt to keep this file with the Image in Aperture. Send it on its way. Any time you need another file from your Image, you can create it fresh via "File→Export→Version".
HTH. If it doesn't, ask more.

Weird.. New IMac when downloading XLS files changes the file type to XLT

On my wife's IMac, when she downloads an excel file (attachment in an email) in the download folder the file name has been changed to XXX.xls.xlt. My desktop Mac does not do this.
What's happening and what is the fix?
Thanks for any direction.
Joe

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try to check the application/octet-stream key in the registry and the .zip key.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/octet-stream
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip

Need to change the business partner on multiple documents (SC's, PO's, etc)

When a user leaves the organization, their business partner number is no longer valid. Therefore, any documents they have created are no longer accessible for changes, good receipts, etc. We are looking for a way that we can find all open SRM documents for a specific business partner and add a new business partner number to these documents in mass, rather than having to change each individual document one by one.

Hi Patricia,
This will be a new business requirement. Its a Enhancement.
So you have to take technical people's help who can help you to develope the program.
For example, if someone leaves the org then that PO has to be transfered to someone else, so this is called as PO onwership change. With the help of this program , you can put document no and new user id and execute it. it will transfer the ownership of the PO. Mass changes is also possible.
Also to get the Goods receipients name , you can develop prg for PO status , which will give information about relevant SC, PO , Goods receipients name, G/ L account, account assignement etc.
Its a totally new business requirement, which can be done with ABAP.
I hope this helps you.

All music downloads from the iTunes Store come in AAC format. There is no choice.
You can do either of the following:
Buy the AAC and convert it per these instructions:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
OR
Purchase your songs from a retailer who sells MP3s, such as Amazon MP3.

Change the order type for a sales document already created

Hi gurus,
please let me know if there is any possibility for changing the order type for sales document (sales order) already created,
thank you

Hi,
Rambabu is correct. Check the alternate sales document types which your current sales document type is having in VOV8 transaction. You can have the current sales document type replaced with the assigned alternate sales document type 1 or alternate sales document type 2 during run time in the during creation or change mode subject to the current sales order is not having any subsequent document. Re-pricing will happen accordingly and all the things of order will get redetermined.
Hope this explains.

Is there any way to reset the file type to "Adobe Acrobat Document" rather than "pdf file"?

An update from WordPerfect automatically installed Foxit on my computer without warning me. I uninstalled it and reinstalled CS5 and Acrobat 11 but when I look at a list of files in Windows Explorer, all of my PDF files are simply listed as "PDF file" rather than "Adobe Acrobat Document". I rely on the Adobe name to get my PDF listed at the top of list of files when I sort by document type for something that I need to do 4 or 5 times a day. Having it buried under "PDF" is causing lots of errors.
I've tried searching the registry but can't find anything that would make this change. I know it's related to the computer because when I use my laptop to view the same folder on the desktop, the laptop shows the files as "Adobe Acrobat Document". I just don't know where to look to fix this.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
GiGi

I have already reinstalled both Adobe Reader and the full version of CS5 which includes Adobe Pro. Neither of those steps worked.
Thanks,
GiGi
