Edit the document without having to save a copy
At my work we get lots of plans in pdf format, that often need rotating. However, more often than not we get a box saying "This document restricts certain features...." yadda yadda yadda, and makes us save a copy before we can edit it. This is very time consuming. Is there any way to remove this feature or get around it so we can just rotate the damn document without going through all this hassle?
Thanks
This message appears when the Extended Reader Rights have been applied to
the document in Acrobat. You can ask whoever is providing you with them not
to do it, in order to save you that extra step, but if they do, there's no
other way around it, I'm afraid. Maybe you could use an Action (if you
have Acrobat Pro) to save copies of multiple files, so you won't
have to process them one by one.

Me to open a webpage document without having to save it first?
How can i change my settings in google chrome to open a googled page (that is a pdf.ppt) without having to save it first to my machine?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

How to just save a document without having to "save as"?
I just want to save changes in exisitng documents, but a Save as window pops up and I am forced to save as with the same name and replace the document I modified. Is there any way of just saving a document, like in previous versions of InDesing?
Is this a file you are converting to the new version? ID always treats the first save of an existing file iin a newer version as a new document with Save As, to protect you from overwriting the old version. This should revert to a regular save on subsequent times.
If you always get a Save As dialog, there's a problem, eihter wih permissions someplace or a conflict with other software, or perhaps just corrupt prefs. See Replace Your Preferences -

I want to open a document in a link without having to save it first.
When reading an email or looking at a web page I always have to save a document before I can open it. I used to be able to click on the link and was given the option to open or save the file. I no longer get the option. I do not want to save all these things to my computer first. How can I get the option to open a document whose link I have clicked on without having to save it first?
Just be sure that feature is enabled first.

When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

This is enhancement project and some one develops long back.
Regarding point (b) You should be using the java.net.URLEncoder to encode URL parameters, not a base64 encoder.
DocumentSummarizerClient.java I am using base64
Ex:
// String encoded =new String (summaryInputData.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
String encoded=Base64Utils.base64Encode(summaryInputData.getBytes());
// encoded =new String (summaryInputData.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");

How to show asterisk * effect once the user starts editing the document??
I wrote a java text editor. I creat a new internal frame and allows to open a document.
How to have an effect (an asterisk * follows the filename in title bar) once
the user starts editing the document? And once I save that file, that asterisk * will
disappear. It seems to me we need to add a listener, but not sure how to change
the title bar of internal frame??just use DocumentListener like
myTextArea.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListenet(){
public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e){
frame.setTitle( frame.getTitle() + "*" );
implements two other methods too -

Email fillable form without having to save
Hi,
I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to create a fillable form and the users of this form will have Acrobat Reader 9 or earlier.
Is there a way to email a completed, fillable pdf so the recipient of the email will receive the completed form but the sender does not have to save the form prior to sending?
I've created this fillable form on a shared network drive for our staff to complete when they want to request time off from work. In order to avoid using paper, I want them to fill out this form electronically and email it to their supervisor but I don't want them to be able to save the filled out form. I tested the form and when I fill it out and send it to myself, it comes back as blank...unless I save a copy of it which I don't want to do.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!Thanks for the response Bill. The form was created using Acrobat Pro 9.
I understand the concept of having to save the form but not the data however most of my staff are not very computer literate and I need to keep it as simple as possible:
1. Open the form, fill it out and hit Send.
2. Recipient opens the email, clicks the attachment and reads the form.
I don't mind setting things up and doing the hard work but if the users have to do anything other than 1 and 2, then its not worth setting up.
I guess the main issue with staff keeping a copy of the form is that they can then go back, change something on the form (ie, the date they want time off from work) and then resend the form. Sounds childish but you don't know the people I work with. lol
Maybe I should ask: is there a way to automatically generate a date stamp on a document once it is saved and it can't be deleted or altered? If a completed form is sent to the supervisor and the date stamp is before the current date, the supervisor will know that the form was altered.
Thanks, -

A. Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.

My six-year old grandson appears to be able to make purchases on the TV without having to enter the password and yet every other device i use (e.g. iPad, iPhone, iPod) is password protected. How is that possible when I have to use my password to access such services on all other devices?

Having AppleTV remember the password is optional.
Logout of iTunes store, log back in and hopefully next time you come to purchase you'll be prompted for your password but decline the option to remember it. You might also want to look out of parental controls on the unit.
