Editing the 'Save PDF' menu

Is there a simple way to create a new 'Save PDF to...' item to sit alongside the 'Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder'? I'd like to save some PDF's to a designated folder and this would be a handy way of automating the process. Is this perhaps an Automator action?

You may need to create it first. I thought it was always there, but it probably got created as I migrated my machine which had the folders.
You could but the aliases in either the all users /Library/PDF Services or in your own user/Library/PDF Services/ folder.
Somewhat off topic:
Also, you can use Automator to create a workflow that does some pre/post processing (like compress PDF) on the file and save the workflow as a Print Workflow. It will put the workflow in the PDF Services folder. I'm not sure how to put it in a particular folder from the workflow, though.

Avoiding the 'Save PDF File As' dialog when printing to the adobe PDF printer from a service

Hello, can someone please help.
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed.
I have an in house application which (among many other things) effectively monitors a directory and prints the file to the default printer. It works fine when run as an application.
I have set the defaults on the Adobe PDF printer to put the output PDF file into a directory and not to open it so it works silently without prompts.
When I run my application as a service, it brings up the 'Save PDF File As' dialog and I would like to avoid this. My impression is that if I put the right registry key in then it will work.
I do not want to do any scripting if I can avoid it.
Thanks for all constructive help given.

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.

The "Adobe PDF" menu choice does not appear on Excel Menu

I've installed Acrobat 9.1.2 and the "Adobe PDF" menu choice does not appear on the Excel 2000 Menu. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Microsoft Office option in PDF Maker with no change. It does appear on the Word 2000 Menu. Adobe 8.1.3 shows on all apps of Microsoft 2000 (on different computers.)

According to Version Compatibility of Acrobat PDFMakers Office 2000 is not suupported by Acrobat 9.

Why does editing the spry horizontal menu on my template alter the spry tabbed panels on my page?

Most of the pages on my site are created using the same template I developed. Today, I edited the horizontal main menu on the template, which changed all the pages on my site correctly, except now all the pages with tabbel panels in the body are showing as a bulleted list instead of tabbed panels. Please Help!?!
In fact, there is no longer any css styles for any tabbed panels any longer...what did I do?

Oh Brother, of course! I should have waited to post until I was out of
my freak out mode. Thanks a lot for the help.

Can't edit "Print to PDF" menu

When I open the "Print to PDF" menu, I get a few out-dated choices: "Save PDF to Yojimbo", "Save PDF to SOHO Notes", etc. These are programs I tried and removed - completely - from my system. Not a trace remains of them (that I or Spotlight can tell).
So I clicked on the last choice, which is "Edit Menu". I removed those items from the menu and clicked Okay, but they remain on the menu.
Any way I can get rid of them for good?

Look in the PDF Services folder either in your user
library, or in the Library on your system disk.
That did it. Thank you.

Using CS5 - need to edit and save pdf

I have a pdf file that is a sales flyer. I need to edit just the first page of the 50 page pdf file. I can open and edit page 1 no problem. I need to know how to save it back into the complete pdf file as page 1. Right now all I can figure out is how to save that individual page.
Thanks for your help.

You cannot. You still need Acrobat or InDesign somewhere in there to merge your edited page back with the others. That being said, the whole thing could still explode in your face as PDFs are simply not meant to be editable work files...

Edit and save pdf files

I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.3. When I now try to edit forms that were previously downloaded, I can no longer save the edited form. If I understand previous questions, I need to buy Acrobat Reader in order to edit and save the pdf files?

A product with the name Acrobat Reader doesn't exist. With Adobe Acrobat you can fill and save forms.

My external hard drive wont show up in the "Save to:" menu when I try to import videos

My old external broke so I found my old one and plugged it in and went to import some videos on imove from an sd card but my external hard drive wont show up on the "save to:" drop down menu. I've been on utility disk to try and repair disk permission but I can't because the button isn't lit up. I can only click on verify disk or repair disk. I tried both of these but it still wont come on the drop down menu. It is showing up on the left in the event library but it has a little yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark in it.
Hope that all makes sense!
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Ok in disk utility it says Format : MS-DOS (FAT32)
Sorry Im not sure what you mean by can it connect via firewire? Sorry I'm a bit useless with technology haha

Is it possible to edit the alarm popup menu?

I notice that, when I set a new event or to-do, the alarm popup menu has two sections: the top one describes "methods" (Message, Message with Sound, etc.); the bottom one lists a few odd combinations (for example, "Message with sound (Frog) 15 days before").
The items on this second list seem to have been "saved" from earlier choices I made when I set alarms for particular events. But I'd like to edit this list: add certain combinations I like and remove ones I don't use.
Is it possible to do this?
And by the same token, is it possible to edit (add,etc.) options in the popup menus for those little screens that actually "perform" the alarm (stating the message)?
Thanks,
Stuart Sherman

The 1st question might be able to be partially addressed by deleting the preferences files (resetting the defaults)? I'm assuming Apple set some defaults. Alternatively (or additionally) a call to 800-apl-care might get you more info.
The 2nd question: No way known to me.

How to edit and save pdf inside a website

I have multiple users i.e. 200 users on my website and I want to have an editable pdf, which I want each user to edit online and save the information. I can access and edit pdf online in website but it doesn't save the information what user enters. What all I need to do to save the information, user enters? Also, do I need to setup separate pdf for each user, I think yes but how can I setup pdf for each user?

"Edit" how, exactly? Unless you're all working via SharePoint (or something
similar) what you're describing is not going to work.

Can you please tell me how to edit the right-click menu in Firefox or Seamonkey (my second favourite browser), as I am constantly clicking on 'send link' instead of 'copy link location'.

I am using a download manager (of sorts), Getbot, and it picks up the 'copy link location' to download anything. The problem I have, as I already put in my question results in the wrong item being clicked upon and my e-mail client (Thunderbird) gets started. I ahve used other browsers as well (Google Chrome, Opera, Safari) with the same or similar results. I try to steer clear of any version of IE if I can!!
You've probably heard of the saying 'I wish I had ten dollars every time that happened'? Well I am in the same boat, I would never have to work another day for the rest of my life if that was possible.
Is there a text file to edit, or perhaps a Registry entry to adjust (I'm quite comfortable doing either).
Your help would be much appreciated.
With much Thanks

Aperture 3 save PDF to folder as JPEG option missing from PDF services?

I have Aperture 3 downloaded from the App store in a MAC OSX 10.6.7 but the save PDF to folder as jPEG option is missing from the print menu? I do not have discs to re-install Aperture so can I add a workflow directly to the PDF services library and if so where can I get a copy of this workflow?

Hi frank, thanks for the advice, I am very new to Apple and Aperture. I think I am looking at the second print menu, I am basically trying to add text to a phot and have followed this online guide
http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/02/07/aperture-book-tool-screen-cast-take-two/
I can do everything except the last part which is save PDF to folder as JPEG. My version of aperture does not give me this option and I only have access to the following:
Open PDF in preview
Save as PDF
Save as Post Script
Mail PDF
Save as PDF-X
Save PDF to iPhoto
Save PDF to web receipts folder
Pictures
Edit Menu
There is no option to Save PDF to folder as JPEG and I cannot add this function from the Edit menu? Previous discussions suggest re-installing Aperture 3 but I downloaded this from the App store so do not have discs to reinstall?
Thanks
Mike

Overwrite files BUG! Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder

In Safari, I will often want to save receipts of bank transactions. So I hit Command-P to print, then in the PDF menu button, I'll choose "Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder."
When I look in my Web Receipts folder, it has saved the file, but if there was already a file there with that file's name, the old one is replaced by the new one. I found this out the hard way, as my bank's page title is always "National Bank," and Safari uses the page title as the file name. So instead of accumulating receipt PDFs there, I merely had the most recent one.
This is certainly a bug: the Mac shouldn't be overwriting files without telling me. If it's going to save PDFs in the Web Receipts folder, then I should have the option to choose a name or approve the name that it generates from the HTML title.

Yes I agree this is an intentional bug.
Other things you can do to get around this issue:
1) Disable the "Save PDF to Web Receipts.workflow" located at /Library/PDF Services. This is at the root level of your disk and you will need Admistrator level authority to accomplish this task.
2) After you disable the workflow you could build your own without the: "with replacing" (save file) option enabled in the script. However, I believe this will not work, as you are already in a dialog box (printer), and the script will generate an error, and prompt a dialog box for you to enter a new name. I am not sure if this is the conduct, as I do not use this workflow or "feature."
3) After you disable (or just plain not use) the above workflow: Instead create a folder in your Home Directory called "Online Receipts" or whatever memorable name you like. You can place this folder anywhere.
Next, navigate to ~/Library/PDF Services (that is the folder in your Home folder, not at the root level as in (1) above. If this folder is not there, create it.
Next create and drag an alias of your "Online Receipts" folder into this PDF Services folder.
The next time you pull up a print dialog, and hit the PDF button, you will see this newly created folder in the menu. Just select it to save a PDF of your document to it. Files with identical names will be handled by the Finder's naming convention: (eg. file.pdf, file 2.pdf, file 3.pdf, etc.) and no files will be overwritten.
I hope this helps,
