Disable recently used documents list in Acrobat X?

Anyone know if there is a way to disable recently used documents list in Acrobat X?

You can reduce the file count to 1 (under Preferences) but cannot turn it off completely.
For info on clearing the list manually, see this post:

Most recently used documents

How do I delete the MRU files within StarOffice 6.0? Is there a way to configure the program so that a file's location and file is not displayed under the "Files" menu?

Hi
The history of loaded URLs (ie the most recently used documents) are saved in the file "Common.xml". This file can be found in the directory:
" \StarOffice6.0\user\config\registry\instance\org\openoffice\ Office\ "
To delete these entries, load the file in a text editor and find the "<History>" entry. Delete all lines in the file up to the entry "</History>" (i.e., all entries between "<History>" and "</History>").
This will also delete all entries in the URL history as well as all entries in the picklist (the list of the most recently used files found in the File menu).
Important:
This procedure involves manual intervention to the configuration of StarOffice. It can occur that if the wrong entries are deleted, StarOffice will no longer be able to function correctly. Please remember that all manual intervention to the configuration files is the sole responsibility of the user. In this particular case, any mishaps that may result to the program cannot be supported or guaranteed.
If the above does not work, please let us know. Thanks!

Recently Used Workbook list

Hello,
Can anyone tell me why my "Recently Used Workbook" list is empty in relational Discoverer 10g. We are using version 10.1.2.0.2. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me why my "Recently Used Workbook"
list is empty in relational Discoverer 10g. We are
using version 10.1.2.0.2. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated.
This is a BUG in Discoverer but there is a workaround.
Edit the $ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/.reg_key.dc file and find this location:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\WebDisco 10\Default\Application]
Under this, put this:
"MRU List Length"=D4:4:05,00,00,00
It should be put just before this line:
"MRUEnabled"=D4:4:01,00,00,00
The MRU Enabled is in the Pref.txt file but the length of this list is default to 0 and it is not in the pref.txt. Each user can change their MRU List Length but that it is at the user level, not the server level. By adding the MRU List Length as I have shown above, all users will default to showing the last 5 Workbooks.

How do I edit the Screen Sharing 'Most Recently Used' files list ?

I have recently added a mac mini to the network at home, and will be using this as a headless device. I am connecting remotely (using screen sharing) which works well. I have set the Sceeen Sharing icon to remain permanently visible on the dock, ad by right clicking, I get a list of the most recently used shares.
The trouble is, that some of theses shares no longer exist, and tghere is also some duplication.
I would like to edit this list, but cannot find out how to do it.
Can anyone help please ?
Thanks
Geoff
PS - The same principle applies to a number of other programs that retaim n MRU lst on their dock icon - how can these be edited.

This doesn't apply to me anymore.

Most Recent Used File List

Hi,
Does anyone know how to create List of most recent used files and display it in the main menu?
Has anyone done that?
Currently, I am opening one file at the time and I have the last
path of opened file.
thanx !

You could recurse over the file system, creating a bunch of File objects, which you'd stick into a List. Then create a comparator that sorts the objects by File.lastModified() value, descending.
Then you'd have a sorted list, from which you could easily take the N most recent files.
Of course, the recursing would take a while. You may want to put creation and/or updating of this list, into a low priority thread.

Most Recent Used File List in Menus

Offhand, you'll have to do it the hard way. I don't think Swing or Awt provide a default JMenuItem(), MenuItem() that does the file list. Now that you mention it, it does seem like an interesting project to do.
You essentially need an array of the files, and for each file, create the associated menu entry, as in:
String entryName = files[ i ];
if ( entryName.length > 10 ) {
entryName = entryName.subString( 0, 10 );
JMenuItem entry = new JMenuItem( i + ". " + entryName );
...and define the event listeners however appropriate for your application.

Recent Items: Documents Some never show up

One thing that annoys me no end is that spreadsheets I open frequently, only intermittently show up in the Recent Items: Documents list and some never show up.
Any ideas? Besides dumping Microsoft Office 2008.
Thanks.

Nope, sorry, that’s all history now, I could not see that the next day.
I wanted to submit a question, but it

Again, that’s all gone now.
Only that my first mentioned thread is still open,

So, um, … ?

Font Panel - Recently Used Fonts

Hi, since another post with this same title is archived, I'm going to give this a bump. The issue is that the Recently Used fonts list on my machine is HUGE and completely useless since many of the items in the list appear to be blank. Is there a way to clear this list so it can start fresh? I've tried clearing the system font cache and it doesn't affect this list.
Thanks, Matt

Clicking the Stamp tool doesn't select the most recently used stamp - Acrobat X

My issue is pretty much what the title says. Clicking the Stamp tool doesn't select the most recently used stamp. According to the Help screens and training videos, it should. I've checked Edit > Prefernces and could not find a setting that adjusted this behavior of the Stamp tool. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this? BTW - It's not just my installation of Acrobat X. Other users at my firm are having the same issue. The OS is Windows 7. Users have administrator rights. Thanks in advance.

Hello Abhilasha,
So, what your saying is that this function, the ability to select the most recently used stamp by clicking the stamp tool, has been removed, in spite of the fact that Acrobat's Help pages says it can be done (Using Acrobat X Standard > Collaboration > Commenting > Apply a Stamp > Step 1 > Second bullet). I wish they would put it back. It was quite handy.
Perhaps I should adjust my request. Do you (or anyone else) know of a way to use the same stamp several times in a row without having to choose the stamp from the stamps list? For example, if you needed to put a check-mark stamp in several places in a document, it would be a pain to have to go back to the list each time. Is there perhaps an undocumented feature (maybe holding down a particular key while using the stamp) that would allow for multiple stamping?
Thank you,
Phillip

Adobe Acrobat 6 & 8 Standard Removing Recently Used Menu

Hi all
Was wondering if anyone could help. I have the need to set the most recently used list within both adobe acrobat 6 and 8 standard to 0. due to helping with a configuration that has as much security as possible.
I had found that you can hide menu items buy using a hidemenu.js located on this site. http://blog.stealthpuppy.com/deployment/deploying-adobe-reader-81. and having the following entries in it
app.hideMenuItem("endRecentFileGroup");
app.hideMenuItem("RecentFile1");
but it does seem to do what i need it too. i know that you can only set within the preference that you can only set the recently used list to 1 but i would like it set to 0
has any one got any idea or tips on doing this anything would be helpful
Many Thanks

What does it do, then?
You should create a folder-level script (place it in the Javascripts folder of Acrobat) with something like this:
for (i=1; i<=5; i++) app.hideMenuItem("RecentFile"+i);
Change the number "5" to the number of items you have displayed. If there's only one, then this is enough:
app.hideMenuItem("RecentFile1");
That would hide all the recently opened files (it might take a couple of seconds from the moment the application opens until they disappear, though).

Acrobat 9 opens all recently opened documents

Since I installed Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on a clean system, everytime I start Acrobat or open a pdf-file, all other pdf-files I recently opened have been reopened automaticly. So I open pdf-A, and after the blink of an eye, pdf-B and pdf-C etc are opened too.
I tried to reinstall Acrobat but that won't work. Maybe there is a problem with Photoshop CS4 which is running on my computer too. On my old system, without Photoshop, Acrobat was running fine.
I hope you can help me.
p.s: Sry for my english, it's not my mother tongue

With much relief, I have found a temporary work-around for Windows users, at least:
Create a New User Account on your computer, then login as the new user, who, of course, has no recently opened documents. I'll be then be using LoriAUC's suggesttion to clear the history regularly.

I upload a podcast each week using Podcast Maker. When I search the iTunes Store to determine if the most recent one is listed all the podcasts are in random order. This week's is #14; last week's is #1. Any ideas how to correct this? The odd thing is that when you try to subscribe to the podcasts, they are listed in the proper order.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

How to deactivate the Most Recently Used List in Adobe Reader?

Hello,
how can I deactivate the "feature" of last used file list.
In our firm it is not alowd to see which document was used last time on a computer/login.
A sheduled erase at the registry is not a functional way to deal with the problem.
s. Peter

You can't COMPLETELY remove it, but you can reduce it to one (1) item. Under Preferences>Documents
1 is the minimum and 10 is the maximum. Hard coded, no way to expand or reduce these limits.
The ONLY other option is to disable the "welcome screen" altogether under Preferences>General

PeopleSoft Oracle Document Techonology disabled if using AIX?

Does anyone have experience using the new Documents Technology_ in Peoplesoft while running AIX on the application and database side_? Looking through the delivered code for Consume Web Service component for instance I'm running across code specifically for disabling the build document messages check box for any system using AIX. Which makes me think that this is not ready for use with AIX.
IB_WSDL_IMP_LOC.Activate(Page PeopleCode)
/* Check for the platform — disable compound and collection creation for AIX_ */
If (%IntBroker.IsAIX()) Then
PSWSDIMPLOC_WRK.IB_CREATE_DOC_FLG.Enabled = False;
PSWSDIMPLOC_WRK.IB_CREATE_DOC_FLG.Value = "N";
End-If;
Also the DOCUMENT BUILDER component has the compound/collection elements similarly disabled too (surprise surprise!); so I can only create simple layouts.
I am still able to create documents that contain compound/collection elements but I have to manually create the schema and feed it to the Create Document from Schema which is a pain b/c it's buggy as hell and will only read the most stripped down schema, so that's one way I have found to work around it.

ram,
I am going to do the similar upgrade with replatform at the same time. I collect the information from forum and finally get an indicator to how to do it. You need to read the "Upgrading the Oracle Applications", B19297-01
"Installing Oracle Applications" B19296-01 and
"Maintenance Utilities" B19300-01
The documentation mentioned the way for upgrade an 11.0 version of EBS to latest release including some pre-upgrade tasks including the database version upgrade to work with 11i, etc.
Hope this help.
