File name for downloaded PDF

I have an application that provides files for download using obscured urls. I use the Content-Disposition header in the http response to set the proposed file name. This works fine if the user opts to save the file directly from the link without opening it (for example, in Internet Explorer, the user right-clicks the link and selects 'Save Target As...'). However, if the PDF is opened, and then the user selects 'File-Save As' from the menu (or clicks the Save icon), the proposed file name is not used. This does work in other applications, just not in Adobe Reader.
So, the questions are:
1 - is there a way to make this work as required - OR -
2 - is this something that will be fixed in a future version

Its been almost 3 years, has there been any update on this issue? We are experiencing the same issue. Our numerous customers are thinking about just using a different pdf reader that supports this standard. All workarounds we have encountered are hacks around the URL and are unacceptable for our customers.
Please respond, we would hate for Adobe to lose all of the users that our customers have.

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

  • How to put current date in File name while saving PDF file.

    Hi expert,
    A report is scheduled for broadcasting  in PDF format . User wants it should have current date in its file name.
    Now system generated file name is Z_XXX_YYY_0000.pdf , but it should have Z_XXX_YYY_10012012.pdf or in any date format.
    Regards,
    Anand Mehrotra.

    First, how to best change the name of the folder. In Library view, there is a Folders panel within the lest hand side panel. If you select the folder and bring up the context menu, you can select the rename option to change the name/date of the folder. Lightroom will also cause the name to be changed on the HDD so both Lightroom as well as the OS will know about the change. This is the simplest way to handle folder name changes.
    Renaming the photos contained within the folder is a bit trickier. I have tried the Lightroom batch rename function, which should work by the way, I encountered some issues in which Lightroom wanted to substitute a sequence number, starting at 0001 rather than use the starting number I wanted to use. This was in Lightroom 4.x and I ended up having to manually rename files. To rename the files within the folder, select the folder to display the grid view of the images within that folder. Next, select all of the photos you want to rename and then select Library/Rename Photos (must be in Library mode) or just press the F2 key. This will open a Rename Photo dialog. Use the drop down box to select your naming scheme (or custom, which will open the Filename Template Editor where you can build your own template. From there, just click to confirm your choices and you should be able to rename your files.
    As I said above, I did have trouble with this in V4.x so I suggest only selecting one of the photos and testing it out. If it works, you can select the rest and complete your task. If it doesn't, then you can fix that, try again to get it to work or just manually rename your photos which is what I ended up doing.

  • Random file name for xml output

    Hi:
    You know how when you're in design mode and select PDF preview, then click an email submit XML data button it assigns a random number as the XML file name? How can I set that same thing up when a user clicks the submit button from the web site? The default it assigns is the name of the pdf form.
    Many thanks for any suggestions,
    Ginger

    Virginia,
    The email submit button can only do what you described in your message.
    - The random file name generated in PDF preview is because you are in the design mode (not everyone has the working xpd file saved when he/she does a PDF preview. This results in a random file _x3432gd4343.xml is generated. It could have been called untitle1.xml if the product developers decide to do so).
    - When you open a PDF file (which has a name) in acrobat, the PDF filename is being used for the email attachment.

    This is a user to user forum.
    Use the contact page to get a hold of Adobe and give them as much detail as possible on where you received the virus. It is possible that the virus became active about the same time you downloaded from Adobe making you think that is where it came from. But viruses have been known to activate after a set time. That may or may not be the case for you, just making you aware that something else could have been the culprit.

  • Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?

    Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews.  We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
    When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension).  The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
    When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
    The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
    The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
    In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
    The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
    We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation.  Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
    We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform.  Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?

    There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:

  • Dynamic output file name for scheduling a BIP report

    Hi All,
    I have a BI Publisher report. It has Department as prompt. we need to run the report for each department. I need to schedule the report such that, for each department i need to FTP the output with file name as department_INFO.pdf in the one folder (i.e. if dept is ABC, then i need to store the output with file name as ABC_INFO.pdf and ftp to the folder). Folder will be created already in the server.
    We have around 40 departments, so i need to manually schedule this report 40 times with 40 files names and ftp the output to the folder in the server.
    Can we dynamacally give the output file name based on the prompt we are using to run, instead of manually scheduling for each department.
    Please help me ASAP..we cant move further due to this problem.

  • I just found an error in the file name for my Camera Raw Cache file.  How do I correct it?

    I just found an error in the file name for my camera raw cache file.  The error is in my username.  I don't know how to correct the error or if I should just leave it.  I'm not sure where my cache file is stored on my computer.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Since you are on a Mac if when you first set up your account you left out the i in Wilson nothing you do will change that. The REAL account name will always be alicewlson. Once an account is created you can't actually change the name of it. You can change the name that is displayed but not the REAL account name.
    Simplest thing to do is stop worrying about it. Everything is as it should be, that is except Wilson being spelled without the i.

    I believe I made the error in my user name when I first got my computer a year ago. I then corrected it under my user name but not in my Lightroom files. I also looked for files with a .lrdata extension and didn't find any.

  • Assign Logical file name for the physical file path through Program

    Hi all,
    I am having a physical file which is getting generated dynamically. It is having the date and time stamp in its name which is added at runtime.
    Now I need to assign a logical file name for the physical file path through the program.
    Is there any FM or any other method to assign the same.
    Gaurav

    I think it is not possible. becuase the date & time added at runtime. so if you check the table  PATH you can find filename and their definitions

  • How do i change the HTML file names for existing index

    Hi,
    How do i change my existing HTML file names for indexes. The Html file name is disabled when we click on properties.
    Ex:   Index Keywork : Architecture
            Old HTML Page/URL =: Architecture.htm
    I want to change  Old HTML Page/URL =: Architecture.htm to architecture_new.htm
    Please find the screenshot attached.

    That's because you are looking at the Properties and that is not how you create index entries.
    Highlight the Index keyword ("Paste" in this example). It shows below what is already linked. If you delete that, the keyword will be displayed in bold to show no keyword is attached. You can add further keywords by dragging them from the Topic List.

  • How do I change the .php file name for a page of my site?

    how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.

    The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
    I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

  • Displaying File Name for Photo and Video Clips in Premiere Elements 10

    I am using Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro desktop computer to create
    a project consisting of 128 jpg photo and mp4 video clips.  Before creating
    the project I created a short file name for each clip describing its
    content.  I've added menu tags at locations which separate the project into
    discrete segments.  I've selected a disc menu which utilizes the menu tags I
    created.  I previewed the project and I'm satisfied that the DVD disc I
    intend to create will display everything I want except for one thing.  I
    have spent several hours trying to find out how to have each displayed clip
    include the file name (without extension) somewhere near the edge of each
    window as it is opened in the finished production.  I sure would appreciate
    some help with the steps needed to accomplish this.

    Welcome to the forum.
    This can most easily be accomplished by adding a Title (maybe from a Lower-Thirds Title Template), above each Clip/Still Image.
    I would create one such Title, and manually add the "File Name" in the location desired. Then, place that on a higher Video Track, above the Clip/Still. Then, just use the Duplicate Title function, to create a new Title, with the Text and Style, per the first - edit the Text for each, as required.
    I know of no automated method to grab the Clip's/Still's File Name, and add that to a Title, as PrE does not support any scripting.
    Good luck,
