Creat a Save-As-Dialog / Location-Dialog?

Hi all,
I hope one of you can help me with a problem. And though I try to programming a workflow that produces as output a file. This file should be stored by an interactive path - means of a dialogue (see picture: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/4-blog-pics/mac-pages-file-export-microsoft-word-sa ve-as.png).
How do I create such a dialog? Have anyone a AppelScript?
Thx

hello, it's normal that downloads will start loading in the background and that a .part file is created even when you haven't made any choice on the "save as" dialog yet (in order to shorten the download time, it takes afterwards). however, those .part files should get deleted if you cancel the download.
if this isn't happening with all file-types you could try going through some troubleshooting steps related to downloading, which are described here: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]]

Creating a Save As dialog box with Applescript for Excel 2008

This is going to be part of a larger script. I'm trying to figure out how to make the default save location to where the file opened from and the default file name to the current filename in the dialog box.
Here is what I go so far...
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
tell active workbook
set myFile to choose file name with prompt "Save file as:"
end tell
end tell
I'm very new with working with Applescript, so at this point I have been piecing together code snippets.
Any help would be great and thank you

The choose file name command supports a default location parameter that tells it where to open the dialog:
set myFile to choose file name with prompt "Save file as:" default location (alias "Macintosh HD:Users:username:foldername:")
So you need to look at the Excel dictionary to determine the path to the current file and insert it into the script. Every version of Excel has slightly different dictionaries so the version you're running is critical to getting the right syntax.

I would like to create open Save As dialog using ColdFusion.
The user will be clicking a button and the dialog will pop up
asking the user if he want to save the file. I know that it can be
done using JavaScript, but I am not sure how it could be done with
CF. any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

How to create new file and popup a Save As Dialog?

I want to create a new file and then popup a Save As Dialog to save the new created file.
I have tried to use the JFileChooser as the following code:
=============================================
JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
File f = new File("c:\\text.txt");
jfc.setSelectedFile(f);
int returnVal = jfc.showSaveDialog(this);
if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
f = jfc.getSelectedFile();
=============================================
I can't found the created file execute the program, anyone can tell me whats going wrong of my code or give me some advice?
Thanks a lot.

Actally, I want to generate a file and specific the
name and the location to save it.
And solution to do this if don't use the JFileChooser?Use a JFileChooser to choose a file name (you can select the directory and type the filename into a field). Once you have the file name you can open a FileOuputStream or FileWriter and write to the file you have just defined. If this file does not exist then it will be created.
If you want to confirm before overwriting an existing file then just put up a confirm dialog if the file exists (File.exists()).

A .part file was created when I cancelled a download from a "Save As" dialog.

On my Macbook Pro (my OS is OS X 10.6.8), sometimes when I click on a download link, and then click Cancel (meaning I did NOT start the download at all), a .part file appears in my Downloads folder.
However, not all download links cause this problem to happen. Download links for things like MP3s and JPGs rarely cause this to happen, but download links for xls or torrent files will most likely cause this problem.
I've tested it. When I click on a download link for an MP3 file, but didn't click OK or CANCEL, a .part file would appear in my Downloads folder. However, when I hit CANCEL, the .part file goes away.
But when I tried this on a download link for a XLS file, the .part file stays there even after I hit CANCEL. To delete it, I had to drag it to the Trash folder myself and then empty the trash.
So is this a bug? Am I infected with a virus? Does your Mozilla Firefox create a .part file when you click on a download link but not confirm whether you want to download the file? Does the .part file go away after you hit CANCEL?
Thanks in advance.

Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Scott

Reader XI "save" button creates "save as"-dialog in a dynamic PDF

I made a dynamic PDF with LCD ES4. Sometimes it occurs that a "save as"-dialog appears though I pushed the "save"-button. I am using Reader XI 11.0.07 on a Windows 7 Pro system. Suggestions?

This don't seems to be a problem of the form.
It's more likely that Readers save operation fails because the file is used by another process (Exploerers preview pane for example) or there are no rights to save into the current directory.

Trying to create a "Combine PDF" that also has a "save as" dialog box

I am able to get the Combine PDF to work but it just saves them as randomly named files on the desktop that I then need to rename manually. Is there some way to make a "save as" dialog box pop up after combining the files? So if I had a bunch of PDFs it would go:
Right Click on selected files > Automator > Combine PDF > Save As
Is this possible?

Set up you worflow as:
Get Selected Finder Items
Combine PDF Pages
Open Images in Preview
Run Applescript
+copy this into the Applescript box+
tell app "System Events"
keystroke "s" using {command down, shift down}
keystroke "d" using {command down}
end tell
I also like to add a Sort Finder Items after the Get Selected Finder Items.

"Save As" dialog of excel for a sandbox solution library of sharepoint gives "Web page no longer exist. Error 410"

Hi
I created 2 libraries via a sandbox solution for sharepoint 2010.
I uploaded an excel file into the library.
Now on opening via excel that file and clicking "Save as " dialog - it tries to open that sharepoint library where the file resides.
But i am getting an error of "Webpage no longer exists".

No, this approach doesn't solve the problem
I have the same problem. Created a new SharePoint 2010 List Definition project, Sandbox deployment option. List Definition type: Documents Library.
When attempting to save into the document library from Microsoft Word 2010 I get "The webpage no longer exists" error in the File Save dialog
If I change the type of the solution to Farm solution it works as expected.

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

How to download file with Save As dialog

I am trying to download files with a Save As dialog, according to Jason Hunter's instructions in Jave Enterprise Best Practices.
String filename = "content.txt";
// set the headers
res.setContentType( "application/x-download" );

// send the file
OutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
returnFile( filename, out);
The file content.txt is in the root directory of my webapp. But I get this stack:

The root of the webservers changes from server to server and
sometimes it depends on the path you run webserver exe.
The best i have found to overcome this kind of problems is by
using getResourceAstream() method which basically looks at classpath locations only, but still this has some problems like it should kept at the
specified classpath becoz the getResourceAsStrem() method is not static
method and it always associated with the class object and the file
accessing also should be in the same package/classpath.
by using getResourceastream you cannot look at other places (except classpaths)
and this should be used only if you looking for .properites definitions.
the Second best method is
see you have a file called "context.txt" right
before you create a file, first create a directory at the root, let say
"\tmp"
and then create a file \tmp\context.txt
and then open an output stream to it either using fileoutputstreamm...
and then write all output content to servlet/client output stream.
this will be the best becoz you are specifying the "\" the root
and this is common for all operating systems and definitely it will create at the root directory either serverroot or harddiskdrives root
so you will never missout and the exceptin will also not comes along the way
cheers..
if you get new thing , let me know
bye

Save As dialog hangs when browsing to SharePoint library

Version: Adobe Reader X (10.1.3)
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
Description of Problem: when I use Save As > PDF and browse to a SharePoint library, I cannot browse into the library itself/access sub folders or document sets, etc. The dialog box simply hangs until you click Cancel or click to another location.
I can access the SharePoint library easily via Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer (browser).
I can also browse okay through the Open dialog box in Adobe Reader as it uses the same dialog as Windows Explorer.

Ok, so I'm getting somewhere. The "Save to Online Account" button at the bottom left of the Save As dialog box in Reader provides the ability to save to Office 365 or SharePoint.
However you need to copy and paste the URL of the SharePoint location.
Once you do this you can happily browse through the SharePoint location, save your file and add metadata.
The UI is pretty limited though. It looks and feels like an FTP program...
At least I can see my online SharePoint hierarchy!
In summary, the SharePoint integration is there and allows metadata capture and check-in/check-out, but you can't leverage existing connections in your SharePoint Sites folder C:\Users\<username>\SharePoint Sites. You need to copy and paste the URLs and create Favourites in the "Save to Online Account" UI.

InDesign "Save As" dialog box for every operation in INDB book file; updating page numbers, etc.

So I haven't used INDB files in awhile in InDesign, and today was the first time I attempted to adjust an old INDB (created originally with CS5). For every operation of adjusting the book file, such as updating page/section number or adding/removing an INDD file I get a Save As dialog box for each constiuent INDD file. This is quite annoying since the book has lots of INDDs, and I have to click through the tedious save as with each. I previously worked with INDBs in CS5, and never encountered this, there was no need to save each INDD in the book just to update the page numbers. I tried creating a new INDB in CS5.5 thinking that maybe it was because I was working from a file created with an older version of InDesign. Does anyone know if there is a way to suppress the Save As dialog? Another thing I noticed that is supremely frustrating is that this new build of InDesign doesn't default to saving the file in its original location, and I have unwittingly ended up saving files in other places, only to later realize it. I am using InDesign CS5.5 Ver. 7.5.2 on Mac OSX 10.7.3 Any help is greatly appreciated.

It will only happen once (and frankly, what you are doing is a very bad idea).
When you open the old book in CS5, you are converting to the new format. All of the legacy files also need to be converted, even if added to a new book in CS5.5, hence the Save As since ID will not overwrite the old versions until you tell it to (and that's the bad idea). I strongly recommend (though it's too late for any books you've already updated and overwritten) that you either continue to edit in the old version, or that you take the time to open each file in the original version if it's older than CS5, then export to interchange format (.inx or .idml, depending on version), open those files in CS5.5, save with new names so you don't overwrite anything, then add to a new book and proceed.
One of the reasons I recommend this seemingly time-consuming approach is that there are too many reports (another one yesterday) of some sort of problem that pops up late in the editing cycle when converting legacy files to CS5/5.5 by opening them directly and saving. This is a belt and suspenders insurance approach, and is far less labor intensive than starting over, which might end up being your other option down the road if something goes wrong.
