Converted to PDF how do I keep original File name??

Hi
I've set up a automator action to compress my Microsoft Word Document to PDF and "mail file". How do i keep the original Word document filename that i originally saved as, rather that the "Microsoft Word Document.doc" as it appears in the new email message
Thanks for any help
Jonathan

It is a problem with Microsoft Word. When it sends a print job, it names it "Microsoft Word Document," instead of something useful, like the document name. Since there is no way to capture the name of the original file when you print from the PDF Services menu, I don't see a way to code it.
A workaround is to add a "Rename Finder Items" action between the compress and Mail actions. Set it to rename a single item and show the action at runtime. You can then type in a name you want.
I had started working on a method to get the name of the document, but realized the problem that I stated above. Since you are "Printing" from the PDF Services, you don't know the actual document name as Microsoft has "hidden" it.

Hi Rajesh - See if you can make use of Dynamic configuration bean. I'm not sure if it works but you can give a try..
Unknown use case of DynamicConfigurationBean: Store file name to JMS header without mapping
Adding DynamicConfigurationBean in the Module Processor - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration - SAP Library
Set the adapter specific attributes in file sender channel for filename
swap the file name value to any other soap adapter attribute in the receiver channel using the above module
again swap the attributes in soap sender channel(your second system)
receiver file channel enable ASMA.

Hi Sara,
Thankyou for your reply. What I meant was , how do you tell the original format , for example microsoft word, excel , powerpoint , jpeg, tiff , that the file was before it was converted to a PDF.
So for example, i get a pdf file from someone and i want to know was it an exel file or a word file of a Jpeg or scanned doc before they converted it to a pdf.
It appears to me this information is not availabel in the file properties unless i am missing something.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

Tethering in Lightroom with MK III - Can't keep original file names

Hello,
I am shooting a Canon Mark III to Lightroom 3.3 with RAW 6.3 on OS 10.5.8. All I want to do is insert custom text in front of the original file name from the camera. I cannot even seem to get Lightroom to allow the images to maintain the naming from the camera. The options "filename", "original file number" and "sequence" all rename the files in accordance with Lightroom preferences. I want to keep the naming from the camera and simply add custom text in addition to it. I would be pleased to even learn if Lightroom can accept the name from the camera as it does not seem able to do so. No matter what I select, input, or leave out, Lightroom seems to rename the file in some way or another.
The problem with most of the naming conventions in Lightroom is that the numbers seem to reset when the camera gets turned off. "Sequence" is the only setting that maintains a consistent and ascending count even if the camera is turned off then back on but it still doesn't reflect the camera settings which most photographers prefer to leave on continuous. While this affords a temporary solution, it does not fix the issue that we would prefer to see the original filename and number that the camera puts out. I have tested all the filename settings in Lightroom (including inputting nothing) and can't seem to get the actual original camera written filename to show up. PLEASE HELP!
It is hard to imagine that any software this powerful, especially from Adobe, could overlook and fail to execute something so crucial and basic as simply not overwriting the file info from the camera.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
original file name is only stored in the lightroom catalog file. This means, the original filename is stored in your LR4 catalog! After you upgraded to LR5 you simply have to open the LR4 catalog and LR5 will convert the catalog into an LR5 catalog.
I hope, you still have an LR4 catalog backup (before you removed all images)? Otherwise original file name is lost.

How to get the original file name in chinese with upload component?

It is inconvenience for user to upload file with name only in english. When upload a file with chinese file name, the file name gotten from "fileUpload1.getUploadedFile().getOriginalName()" is just like "缃戠粶鍥�.jpg". Do somebody have a good idea?

I spoke to the component engineers regarding this issue
First please check if the s page encoding is set correctly, as browsers tend to default to use the encoding that was used for the page when submitting the request.
(Because of how the JSF response writer is written, multibyte characters can be written correctly even if the encoding is not set correctly so the fact that form correctly rendered chinese characters is not proof that the encoding was set correctly).
If you established that the page encoding is correct, then there is a
bug in the FileUpload. The method that gets the name is a straight
shot through to an Apache FileUpload library method. Technically this
ought to be resolved by that method checking the request body
character set before parsing the parameters.

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Converting AIF to MP3 and keeping original file name?

Wondering if this is possible to do using iTunes (if not, i'm open to suggestions). Basically I have a collection of AIFF files named very specifically and I'm looking to convert them to MP3 without changing the names of the actual file (example: POS-01CutThroat.aif becomes POS-01CutThroat.mp3) but still keep all the metadata of the AIF in the MP3 (title, composers, comments etc...)
If anyone has any clue as to what i'm talking about, or even better can help me out, please let me know
Thanks!

I have two suggestions:
1. Use the Sundry Info to Comments script to add the filename to the Comment field, then use the File Renamer script to rename the files based on the comment field after you’ve ripped them. Obviously, this will only work if you don’t have other info that needs to be in that field.
2. Rip your files using Max, which gives you a lot more flexibility than iTunes in terms of how the files are named and tagged. This will also produce better sounding MP3 files, because unlike iTunes, it uses the LAME standard.
Personally, I would go with suggestion #2.

Compressor: How do you keep the file name the same?

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way in Compressor to compress a file WITHOUT changing its name. I don't want the spacifics in the new media title
For instance, A007_C010_0216HX.mov becomes A007_C010_0216HX-Apple ProRes 422.mov
Thank you!

I am doing this on Compressor 4, but believe this also applies to Compressor 3 - create a new custom destination.
When you create that new custom destination you will be given the option of the naming convention you want to use:
Default destination includes appended name:
Custon Destination does not:
Once you have set that up, make that custom destination the default by changing the default destination in Compressor preferences.

Bridge MUST KEEP ORIGINAL FILES NAMES when creating a web gallery.

My clients use the galleries I create to download higher resolution images, and now Bridge decides to randomly rename the output images with arbitrary numbers? REALLY? Why on earth would Bridge even NEED to do that? So stupid, please fix, pronto.

I agree.
The web gallery is useless this way.
Fix needed asap!

Acrobat 5.0 How do I keep the original file name after I have converted a Word doc to PDF?

MY colleague has a certain setting in Acrobat that allows him to keep the original file name when he converts documents from Word to PDF. Every time I convert Word, Acrobat overwrites the filename and names it "untitled.pdf". I would like to retain the original name and for Acrobat to simply add the .pdf file extension to the original name. How do I do this?

I have no idea what you are doing for sure. Does your WORD document have a name. I opened a WORD document and selected the Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5, I got the file menu for selecting the name and it was automatically filled in with the DOC changed to PDF. If you are using PDF Maker, then you will need to search there - I removed PDF Maker for AA5 years ago and can't view that part. I see the same types of options in PDF Maker for AA8.1.2 as I saw in the printer for AA5 and guess it is the same. The untitled.pdf suggests that you never saved the original DOC file so it has a name.
