File Format options not appearing in the Save As dialog box - InDesign CC

So i was working with a legacy file (an .eps from illustrator4) that i placed into InDesign CC, and when i went to export as a jpg, the option to choose a different file format from the bottom of the dialog box was gone. Did i hit some crazy shortcut to remove the options, or is this a bug that occurs when working with certain legacy files? I've restarted InDesign, rebooted my laptop, deleted my Adobe preferences, reset my adobe warning dialogs, and I still cant export or save as any other file format because the option doesnt appear. And it doesnt matter if i create a new file or open an existing one. Please help. See the pic below. No option for file format on the bottom of the dialog box.

Thank you very much!
Reinstalling worked, but i'd still kinda like to know what caused this problem & if this will continue to happen. To me, reinstalling is pretty much like having to reboot anytime you go to IT -- they dont know what the problem is, they just know how to fix/stop it.

AI CS3 Plugin: How to get the file format that is selected in the "save as" dialog??

Hi,
Someone please help me in getting the file format that is selected in the "save as" dialog. I wanted to retrieve it in the string format.
I tried sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileFormat. But i'm unable to implement it correctly. Is there a better way or How do I implement this? Precisely, I wanna get the value as a string when the user selects "save as .pdf".

Do you really need to know the file type? What about just checking the bit depth?
var doc = activeDocument;
if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) {//Not 8 bit
doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
//do your save etc
}else{
//Ignore

How do I force Firefox (6v02) to stop showing thumbnails of existing file(s) in the save-as dialog box?

I save files associated with similar objects using similar names (just a different extension, or numeric sequence). The save-as dialog box shows a list of existing files. When I choose one, with the intention of changing the file extension or the numeric sequence (e.g., choose 'file001.jpg' in order to rename the new file to be saved 'file002.mpg') the thumbnail associated with the one I select is shown on the right. I neither want nor need this time-consuming & memory-consuming process to take place. I would like to be able to disable this feature in order to allow me to do what I want directly and faster (P3/866MHz/512MB).

Perhaps, but the problem is I don't really know what to look for. I've tried doing a keyword search of the AIprefs file to find where ICC profiles and compression could be located but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what they are called and what I should modify?

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

On a MBP with Mavericks how do I get the Save As dialog box to open at the same size and place at which it was last closed and used to happen before Mavericks?

Before I upgraded my MBP to Mavericks, the Save As dialog box would reopen at the same size and position as it was when last closed. Now with Mavericks it always opens in the same position at a very small size. Is there a way to make it reopen at the last place and size at which it was closed?

I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
This is what I did and what I believe I have:
1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

Map ID not appearing in "Edit Map IDs" dialog box

I have RH HTML 8. I am adding new topics and assigning map IDs to those topics via the Edit Map IDs dialog box.
All of my map IDs appear in the BSSCdefault.h file as well as the project's .hm file. I even manually added the topic string to the project's ali file. However, it is not appearing in the Edit Map IDs dialog box. If it's not appear there, where does this dialog box get the map strings and map IDs from?
No FARP685 string:

Peter,
I think your discussion of this problem could explain the situation and propose a workaround more simply than it does.
Based on your article, I assumed that Robo displays only the built in Word list styles such as List and List Continue (since those were the only styles showing up in the style mapping dialog and since your example shows matching a Robo style named List Mapping to a Word built in style named List). I assumed I would have to match my Bullet style to a style named List in Word, and match the indented bullet style to List 2, and so on. The actual situation is that Robo, for some godforsaken reason that only idiots would understand, will not show a Word style if any numbering (bullets or numbers) is applied to it. That is, one does not have to avoid a class of styles called “List styles”, one only has to avoid applying numbering to the styles until later.
Thus the workaround is to create the word styles (with names that match the Robo styles!) that contain every attribute you need EXCEPT the numbering. That is, I can link Bullet to Bullet and Number to Number and Indented Number to Indented Number, and so on and on, as long as I have all the Word styles in the template with their numbering set to None.
Then after I generate the document, I can modify the styles to add the appropriate numbering, and voila!
Currently scrolling the doc & modifying styles. Might be a glimpse of daylight.

Can the save as dialog box be over-ridden?

Is it possible to use the SDK to supress the Save As dialog box that appears when doing a digital signature?
Over-riding the regular Save As menu via replacing the AVDocDoSaveAsSEL HFT doesn't seem to have that effect.

Our company does online Document Management for accounting firms. One of the firms uses signatures to mark a return as finished / reviewed by a partner before going out to the IRS. They wanted to have an option to have the Save As skipped because they're going to upload the document afterwards anyway.

Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Scott

The Where in the save as dialog box

The Where in the save as dialog box is frustratingly limiting is there a way to change this so I can browse to the folder I want?

I recommend you get Default Folder. I've considered it a must have utility for my systems since OS9 Classic days. It greatly helps in navigation for the ever deficient file dialogs in OSX (and OS9).

How come the "save as" dialog box keeps popping up whenever I try to use alt codes?

I type with diacritical marks regularly but recently, when I press and hold Fn + Alt + the numerical code, it brings up the "save as" dialog box. This seems to be a Firefox-specific issue because this doesn't happen on Microsoft Word + other programs. I am wondering how to disable this "save as" dialog box shortcut, or how to just get the alt codes to work.

Hm, this is the list of add-ons that are currently enabled on my browser:
 
Dictionnaire française moderne (it can't be this one because I just installed it today) 
Java Console 6.0.18 
Java Console 6.0.25 
Java Console 6.0.20 
Java Console 6.0.24 
pdfit (doesn't seem like it's this one either) 
Conclusion: might it be one of the Java Consoles?
Thanks!

Why local file destype does not appear in the parameter form ?

Hi,
There is a Destype option Local File but it does not appear in the list for Destype in the Parameter form.Why?
Even file is not working & the reports server is getting hanged if i specify the destype as file & a valid file name & format is given.
Print option from the app server is also not working, i mean remote printing.
My App server machine can see my local printer, but when i give the print share name or literally five\\machine name..printername then too print option is not working.
Thanks
Mahesh

Hi Shaun,
I'am using 9iDS & the reports documentation says that Local File DesType Option is valid for rwclient & rwservlet.
When your specify in the command line option it works, no issues but in web reports where i get the parameter form Destype list does not contain Local File Option.
For web reports i use rwservlet.
i mean to say my url is something like this
http://oracle.guru:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=abc.rdf&userid=a/b@c&destype=cache&paramform=yes&server=myserver
one more peculiar thing, i have reported it on Metalink.
As you can see in the above URL i have given an argument of destype=cache, if i do not give this then my parameter for will not come up!!!, why should i give a destype for the parameter form to be displayed?
Ok coming to my current problem..
in 9iDS Reports is Local File supported? i.e. when i give a URL like above(My parameter form has system & user parameters including DesType,DesName & DesFormat).
coming to the file option in DesType.
In my parameter form if i select Destype as File & give a valid file name & a valid Desformat the report server hangs i mean there is no activity on the client & after this any report requests from any other clients is not responded by the Reports Server.
When i check in the performance monitor of my Reports Server the CPU Utilization will be constant at 100%
Thanks

How to customize the Save as dialog Box for saving Web Query???

Hello,
we are usnging SAP NW Portal and BI 7.0 (SP14).
We have published BI web queries in the Portal and it works just fine, now when the User select the Button "Save As" in the Context Menu of any web query, this will open a new Dialog Box name "Save As Dialog Box", so from this dialog box the user can select where to save the query, he/she have 3 options* to save qureies: My Favorites, Bex Portfolio and MyPortfolio, this also works fine.
My Quetsion is: How can i customize the View of this "Save As" dialog box, so at the end the User can only select 2 Options: My Favorites + MyPortfolio. So how to hide the Tab: Bex Portfolio in the Dialog Box.
Points for any good answer.
Many Thanks and Regards,
Nazih

In what you have posted, there is no reason it shouldn't work the same way in Acrobat 9. I would recommend that you submit your complete application to developer support.

Click a Link and open the save-as dialog box instead of browser opening it

Basically, i have a link to an image and when i click it the browser opens the image. I would prefer that when i click the link to the image that i get some sort of save functionality to occur.
I created a link to the Google logo so it looks like Google image when clicked the browser opens the image. What i would like to do is click the link and then have the save-as dialog pop up (or something similar). Currently I would either have to right click the opened image and save image as or right click the link and then save-as that way. In this instance the file doesn't reside on the database but an external source so is there a way to save-as dialog once the link is clicked?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are doing; can you give us some details?

How I change the save image dialog box view from oldest to newest first as the default?

My save image dialog box has the oldest file in the folder in the upper left position (using list). I want to change it to the newest file shown first. It used to be that way, but now it showing oldest first. I haven't found any guidance on defaults for this box. Thanks.

Leave it to Apple. When I first got the phone, that's the way they were configured. Now that they've flipped around, there's now way to change it!
