Custom Save Dialog and Logic in Outlook 2013 Add in

I'm creating an addin for outlook 2013. I've got it all setup and such but I'm not sure how to achieve my objective. My boss wants a button on a ribbon that is shown during compose, read, and similar methods and either opens a save dialog or just
saves it automatically without the dialog. The catch is that I want to add custom actions for this special save button, where it will rename the file and save it in a specific folder. All based on the sender's domain and address, the date, whether there are
attachments, and such. Either it will save the attachments as well or I could have a separate button to do the same with any attachments; archiving them and renaming them a specific way based on date, file type, sender, etc.
How can I implement this? I assume it's in the method showMessage_Click. Which leads me to another question, what is the showMessage_Click even from? It is what causes my messagebox to pop up when you click the button, but assuming I want a save
dialog or something else rather than a messagebox, do I still use showMessage_Click or is there another XXX_Click method to use for when clicking the button that would be more appropriate for my goals.
Also is there a list somewhere showing all of these different event methods?
Thanks for any help and guidance you can offer.

Hello,
It looks like you need to replace the standard SaveAs dialog with your own. To get this implemented you may repurpose the Save buttons on the ribbon, so each time the user clicks to save the item your custom dialog window is displayed. See Temporarily
Repurpose Commands on the Office Fluent Ribbon for more information.
If you need to implement this as a separate feature - just add custom controls to the Ribbon UI (aka Fluent UI). See Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Tab
by Using the Ribbon Designer to get started quickly.

Sync calendar and contacts between Outlook 2013 and iPhone 4

I am trying to sync my calendars and contacts between Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Home Premium) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4). I have created a confusing mess for myself and do not recognize all of the calendars that appear in Outlook or the iPhone. I
abandoned the use of the iCloud because the iCloud calendar invitations my coworkers received in MS Outlook are too confusing to read.
Is there a proven process for syncing when i add a new contact or calendar event in one device so that it shows up simultaneously in the other? If the process is too laborious, is there an Outlook add-on?
I have tried the Exchange ActiveSync but I can't get this to work smoothly. I can't move recurring calendar events that started in the past. Further, I have to navigate 2 separate data files in outlook to find the right calendar or inbox.
I am not sure if Exchange and Exchange ActiveSync are the same or not.
Additionally, this is a private domain address (my work email).

Hi,
Basically, Exchange ActiveSync and Exchange are two different sets of protocols, but both of them have the feature to sync contacts and calendars between different devices.
If your company provides an Exchange account for you, just setup it in Outlook Client, it will sync the contacts and calendars between clients and the Server.
If you have an Outlook.com(Hotmail) or any other email account that supports Exchange Activesync, just set it up in Outlook, the contacts and calendars will also sync.
As for iPhone, just make sure it also uses the same protocol.
If there's anything wrong with the account sync on PC, rename the current data file to ".old", let Outlook create a new one to sync, or we can create a new profile to setup the account:

Acrobat XI Outlook 2013 add-on crashes Outlook

Acrobat XI Outlook 2013 add-on crashes Outlook each time I try to convert an email to PDF,
I did not see a relevant answer to this specific problem in the forums.
Of course I can print an email to acrobat PDF but I believe a fix or an update from Adobe is overdue.
I had to disable the add-on in the meantime.
Otherwise PDF maker in the right click context menu works fine.
Windows 7 64 bit, Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.5
Anybody has an idea ?

Have you tried the following?
Launch Office 2013 as Administrator, i.e. right click on Office icon and select 'Run as Administrator'.
or
Try creating a new user account on Windows to see if the same issue occurs.

Hi
By customization what exactly you mean ? if you have applied states, effects etc to slideshow still add button should work. Or if you are using the slide show in some container.
Please provide more details.

Print to PDF is very slow showing "save as" dialog when printing from Outlook 2013

Hello,
I'm having a problem with one of my users. The problem is intermittent. At first when I was looking at the issue, here is what I saw:
In Outlook 2013, I opened an e-mail. I then selected Print, selected the Adobe PDF printer, and hit the print button. There was over a 1 minute delay before the "save as" dialog appeared to ask me where to save the document and what to name it. I did this for several different e-mails with and without attachments and the problem was consistent. I saved the e-mail to a local e-mail file and the problem was the same. This process was over 30 or 40 minutes. I was pulled away for another issue and now the "save as" dialog pops up within seconds. The user is complaining that this happens regularly. I tried a repair, cleared temp files, and was going to try printing from other apps, but then it started temporarily behaving itself, so I can't tell you if the same delay existed in other apps. I didn't see anything obvious in the event viewer logs.
Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have an idea on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Jeffery Smith

Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.

MS Access Freezes and Closes when I save a draft email via Outlook 2013

I have Access 2013 Office 365. When I email a report from access via Outlook 2013 I have problems. Outlook opens fine. If I hit send everything is fine. However if I save the email as a draft Access freezes and then closes after a 10- 15 sec delay.
The email is saved as a draft in Outlook but very annoying to have to reopen my Database .
The message I get is : MS Access has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
I tried compact and repair but that didn't help. Also tried turned of add ons. That didn't work.
Never had this problem with office 2010. What can I do?
I just discovered the same thing is happening in Excel and Word.

Outlook 2013 add-in will not stay enabled

Everytime Outlook 2013 (windows) closes the add-in for iCloud changes to disabled. The only way I can sync calendars etc, is to manually enable the iCloud Add-in EVERY TIME I open Outlook. What's up with that? It used to work perfectly. I have been through all the help screens and nothing works.

Hello EFBenzal
If you are using Windows 8.1, then check out the article below to resolve the issue of iCloud becoming disable within Outlook.
iCloud: Windows 8.1 disables iCloud updates in Outlook, or "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened" appears

Downloading image without save dialog and saving to disk.

Hi,
I'm a bit lost. I have been checking google and documentation and can't manage to do this.
I'm using a httpservice, and saving with a file stream the lastResult property. But this seems to be not in binary and when saving it is not correctly done.
Could anybody give any tip?.
P.D. Of course I'm talking about an Air app.
Thanks in advance,

Hi kavita,
               In Webdynpro u r using attribute of type Resource ,which is binded to FileUpload UI element. From this attribute, u get file in Input stream format which can be converted into byte array like this
byte fileData[] = null;
      try{
            InputStream fileIs = wdContext.currentFile().getFileData().read(false);
            ByteArrayOutputStream bOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            int length;
            byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
            while ((length = fileIs.read(part)) != -1) {
                  bOut.write(part, 0, length);
            fileIs.close();
            fileData = bOut.toByteArray();
            bOut.close();
      } catch (Exception e) {
            wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(e.toString());
In webservice u can take a the byte array as input parameter where the uploaded file will be passed as byte array .
In DB u can store it as BLOB .
in case of any other doubt u can revert back to me.
regards

Adobe Acrobat Outlook 2013 Add-in inactive

I have version 10.1.8.24 of Acrobat Standard and after installing it on my Win8 Pro w/Office 2013 I do not see any of the Adobe tabs in MS Office products. Outlook shows the add-in as "inactive" and I do not know how to activate it.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you.

Outlook 2013 add-in disappears on minimize or x out

Hi All,
I have a user that whenever she minimizes or x outs of the outlook program the outlook add-in menu item disappears from the ribbon. If we do File - Exit and reopen outlook it is there again. If we X out to close the program and reopen
it does not show up. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
This could be caused by several reasons. Sometimes, an add-in will be disabled due to the conflicts with another installed add-in. Please have a check and see if the user has any other add-ins installed, try to disable them then verify again.
If issue doesn't persist after disabling all other add-ins, then try to enable these add-ins one at a time, to find out which one is causing this issue.
Also, make sure if this add-in is compatible with the current version of Outlook.

Please use the Vista save dialogs on Windows

You, adobe employees use Windows, right? Don't you use the 'Favorites' freature in Windows explorers? It helps you to access specified locations you want quickly and also is very handy. It is now a standard form on Windows (also on Mac).
Why didn't you include the feature on 'save' dialogs in PS?
Everytime I save something, I have to click, double click, double click, double click, double click, double click, double click, double click, double click, double click, double click, and click the 'Ok' button to complete just a single part of a task.
All Windows applications I use have Favorites section on save dialogs, and I wish you to add it on your product's save dialogs.
Please let's be smarter. I wish you do something quickly for that.
Thanks.

@Curt Y
You're right. It's not necessary for people who doesn't need it. However there are peoples who use it usefully and often. Maybe Microsoft wants that it can be good for users since 6 years ago when they implement it into Windows Vista. And so did Apple for their own.
Here is a picture I scraped from my pc. As seen in below, it gives you the exactly same way like Adobe's. You can expand the Favorites node whenever you want to access your favorite locations. Also the expanding state will be preserved.
It's like bookmarks on web browsers. Some people doesn't use it, some does.

Outlook 2013 with Exchange Server - Changed custom form for contacts is not shown

Hello,
Our infrastructure:
Exchange Server 2010
Outlook 2010
Outlook 2013
Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8.1 Pro
The situation:
We've used an old custom form for contacts, worked perfectly fine
I've updated the form (adding some new custom fields and checkboxes) using Outlook 2013 and publishing the form (with a new name) to the Exchange folder
I've set the form as default form in our contacts folder
I've used this Script to set the new form for the existing contacts and the name of the new form is saved correctly
BUT if I open a contact in our Exchange contacts folder, Outlook 2013 (Outlook 2010) still shows the old form
Steps I've taken so far:
Cleared Outlook forms cache
Repeated the above steps 1-4 in Outlook 2010
Switched Cached Exchange Mode off and back on
Allowed Scripts in Trust Center Settings
Used a new clean Windows installation with a new Outlook 2013 installation
Used different Exchange users on different systems, but some behavior when opening contacts
I'm out of options I can think of, so maybe somebody else has some new view on this problem.
Thank you very much in advance!
Greetings,
Karl

Hi,
Is the Exchange folder in which the custom form is published available to all users?
From the description, the script used to work for the old custom form, correct? Which version of Outlook did you use with the old custom contact form? Outlook 2010/Outlook 2013 or an earlier version? If you used the script with an earlier version of Outlook,
we can't make sure it will still work with Outlook 2010/Outlook 2013.
In addition we may also try creating a new contact form and test the steps to see if it will work.
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Steve Fan

Outlook 2013 won't open Word and Excel attachments

Had a new PC set up with MS Office 2013 programs. Outlook 2013 Word and Excel attachments do not open. Program opens, but to a blank screen. This includes my attachments created on the same computer. Boxes in "Trust Center"
are unchecked. Problem persists. It is possible to save the attachment, then open Word or Excel and see the saved file, but this is time consuming and annoying. Outlook 2013 should just open its attachments from the message without a thousand
extra steps. Thank you.

Hi Gish,
Thank you for your question.
Did this issue occur in OWA?
We could open outlook->File->option->Trust Center ->Microsoft Outlook Trust Center->Trust Center Setting->Attachment Handing->Attachment and Document Preview…
Then we make sure all option have check. And didn’t uncheck “Turn off Attachment Preview”, or rebuild the profile to check if the issue persist.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim
