Do I really need to name the file when making a PDF?

When I use Export for making a PDF, the name of my open InDesign file is not automatically offered as the name of the PDF.
Does anyone know if I change this? My filenames are long and very precise, and any typo would be bad.
Thanks.

That's what I thought I would do when I noticed the PDF creation was not using the InDesign file name, but I can't because since I am making a PDF, only PDFs are shown in my source folder. All other file types are filtered out.
I've never seen this behavior before - I gotta be missing some PDF creation setting somewhere, but I can't find one.
I'm suppose I will have to copy a filename to Notepad and paste it in the export window. (Doesn't that seem a little lame though?)

Multiple drag emails from Mail to a finder window and for it to name the files as the subject heading

Hi
I have been using Mac's now for about 10 years and this is my first problem.
I have recently moved into an office that use PC's with a Windows server.
I have set up the network to transfer files and view the windows server and it works fine.
I have a problem in that my colleagues on PC need to be able to view my emails which I send and receive using Mail. They therefore need to have logical title names and the date sent and ideally who to or from. I view them and archive them using Mail which is fine for me.
I understand about the archiving and copying of mailboxes but this gives every email the un-fathomable title name 9944847 etc.
I can get round the problem by dragging and dropping every email I send and receive individually and it will automatically give it a more logical title of the subject heading however the date is when it was dragged not when sent. This is a pain if I am away or forget to save an email for a day or two and then the date is inconsistent.
Is there a way to batch copy emails from Mail to a finder window and for it to name the files as the subject heading or to archive the files in a similar way so they retain the detailed information my colleagues require.
And no I can not get to all change to Mac and I don't really fancy using Outlook, Entourage or Parallels.
Please help.
Toby

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. If you get a warning that the file is in use when you try to empty the Trash, log out and log back in.

Idoc- File scenario: Read a data field in IDOC and name the file with it

Hi All,
I am configuring an IDOC to File scenario.
I have a requirement where I need to read one of the IDOC data field and use that as the name of the File.
E.g: If the IDOC data field-1 = '123456', then I need to name the output file as '123456'.
Is it possible to do this. Appreciate your help on same.
Thanks
Shirin

Try this code..
desired field from IDoc will be input parameter to UDF
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(key,a); // a is input parameter
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Also, check Adapter specific message attributes in file adapter, check filename

HT1751 This was extremely helpful, however, all the songs I had unchecked in my library are now checked on on my new MacBook. My playlists are all there, but I do I really need to uncheck the ~3,000 - 4,000 songs I had previously unchecked?

All the songs I had unchecked in my library are now checked on on my new MacBook. My playlists are all there, but I do I really need to uncheck the ~3,000 - 4,000 songs I had previously unchecked?
My original library exists on my old computer, so I could still transfer it. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated - thank you!

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

You don't need to maintain all versions of the upgrade chain, but many of us do in case we need to work on a legacy file. If you want to rmove a version, though, ti should be done BEFORE installing the later one. Just reinstall CS5 and things should get back to normal.

Use Migration Assistant on your new Mac:
Click Continue:
On the next screen, choose your Time Machine backup disk.
Don't bother to migrate Applications unless you know they will work on your new Mac. For example, PowerPC applications won't work. Just migrate your user account which will copy all your photos, music, movies, and other documents.
Note: you will not be able to migrate the information to same account in which you are already logged in. Migration Assistant will tell you that and recommend what to do. It can migrate the information to a new account, but you will have to give it a name you might want to change later. One way around this is to create a temporary account, log in to it, and run Migration Assistant which will replace your normal account. Then, log out of the temporary account, log in to your usual one, verify everyting works as you expect, and delete the temporary one.
All this can be avoided when you set up a brand new Mac by running Setup Assistant which essentially does the same thing to create your new account, but most people are too excited to do that and elect to migrate later.

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

@Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
A final resort to bring down file size is:
1. Print to PostScript
2. Distill to PDF
That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

I am shooting with a Nikon D60 on Fine Format and unable to print larger than 11x14. I have been able to print larger pictures. I am told iPhoto reduces the size of the file when uploaded. Is this true? If so how can I change this? I need 16x20's

To test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based

Hi Sir/Madam,
to test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based on the selection made in the dtp run for extracting data as flat file.

Hi Vishali,
In the DTP select the file location as application server and give the logical file path. The actual file and logical path can be created using transaction "FILE" and "AL11".
Rest of the process is same as that of extraction from local file.
Regards,
Durgesh.

When I send out mail from MS Outlook enterprise account in the office to my Mac at home they are received as "winmail.dat" files. Even if I perform a "save as" to the correct file name the file format is still not recognized. Why is this happening!?

HT201272 I have an album that says I've downloaded, but some of the songs say I need to locate the file. How can I get the rest of my album downloaded?

I have a few songs on multiple albums that I have paid for. I tried to listen to a few songs. An exclamation point said I need to locate the files. I went in to ITunes and it said the items have been downloaded to my computer. I can't find them. Can anyone help? Thanks!

You can try manually downloading them:
1. Open iTunes and click on "Store"
2. Click "Purchased" in the top-right
3. Find the Album you need to compete and click the cloud next to it.

HT4910 I need to find the file location for my iCal in iCloud

I need to find the file location for my iCal in iCloud for my Mac. I inadvertently changed the file location in Terminal and need to restore the proper location but do not know how to locate that information. Any help is much appreciated,

You should find "Preferences" in your Edit menu in iTunes.

Why Coherence mandates to name the file as hibernate.cfg.xml ???

Wondering Why Coherence mandates to name the file as hibernate.cfg.xml , otherwise it wouldn't work
We use Spring 2.5, Hibernate 3.2, Coherence 3.5
• Currently we have created hibernate.cfg.xml to make coherence work whereas we would like to leverage existing spring configuration file
• We wrote separate DAO’s i.e. xxxCoherenceDAO in addition to exsisting DAO’s. We would like to inject NamedCache into **CoherenceDAO
• How to leverage Spring to start the CacheFactory i.e. we would like to avoid the following code in our XXXCoherenceDAO's
NameCache customerCache = CacheFactory.getCache(com.xx.Customer.class.getName());

Take a look at the [JavaDoc for HibernateCacheLoader|http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/coherence/352/com/tangosol/coherence/hibernate/HibernateCacheLoader.html]. It has several constructors that allow you to either provide the name of the Hibernate configuration or provide a SessionFactory created externally.
Thanks,

I can't see music/video files from my iPad2 or Nano on my Phillips home theatre. Do I need to covert the files?

I can't see music/video files from my iPad2 or Nano on my Phillips home theatre. Do I need to covert the files?

The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export" and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

Have downloaded a .epub file from a third party publisher to my pc. Publisher advises that iTunes is needed to move the file to my iPad. iTunes installed on both pc and iPad. What's next?

Drag or copy the file into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder in your library (default location C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media), or add it manually using File > Add File to Library ... If the file is compatible with iTunes it'll be added to your library and can then be synced with your iPad.

Do I really need to name the file when making a PDF?
