File save as command

Hi is there a way to get acrobat to retrieve data from the first form input field and then use it in the file naming convention when using the "file save as" command. is there a javascript or something to do this?
In other words, I have a savable form that I created. it is going to be a template that will be filled out by people in my organizatin. Once they complete the form, they will save it to a network directory. I don't want it saving as the same file name and having people accidetnaly overwriting files already saved. Some people are not smart enough to change the file name. I would like acrobat to retrieve informatino from the first input field and use this as the name of the file to be saved. MS word does this when you create a document. I don't see why acrobat can't do it either....many thanks for anyone that can help.

The only way is to install a folder-level JavaScript file on each user's system or use a certified document and get the users to trust it for restricted JavaScript. For more information, see this fie tutorial: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

  • CS4 apps are VERY slow to open Windows file browser with File Open or File Save As commands

    We are running CS4 on Windows 7 with all available updates installed.   Photoshop and the other CS4 applications are VERY slow to open a Windows file browsing window to select files when File Open or File Save As menu options are run -- it can take as long as a minute or two for the window to open.  Once the window opens and a file is selected, then opening or saving the file is very quick.  The location of the default directory, whether it is on a local drive or a network drive, makes no difference.  Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

    The link that I posted earlier is off.  Read this one
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2501584.  I discovered in my network that the MS Office File Validation Patch made excel crawl when opening over the network though nothing else changed. At the time I was opening Excel on Office 2003.
    You can manually turn this off by editing the registry and tunring it off.  Going forward I skipped the patch to keep my sanity.  Not sure if this is the same as your issue, but the support article will go into detail how to either have Fix it
    clear the issue or change the proper registry keys.
    Hope this helps

  • Message error: "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save."

    I have 2 problems creating a .ps file.
    As i know, there are 2 ways of creating a Postcript file from a PDF.
    The first is from the Print monitor. I go through menu File/Page Setup i give the exact dimensions from my spreaded pages and after that i go to Print and when this window opens,
    i go down and left and i open the pop-up menu on"PDF" and i choose "Save PDF as Postscript"
    There is where i get the above error message :
    "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
    And the second scenario, i get an equal problem.
    If i go to Page setup and give the right dimensions of my spreaded document, after that i go to the File/Save as command, there is choose from the bottom pop-up menu, the option at Format: Postscript
    If i do that i get the following message:
    "The document could not be saved. An internal error occured."
    What is wrong with all this?
    Can anyone help me out?

  • "Could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

    I'm trying to save a file and an error keeps popping up saying ""Could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)". I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. I have no other windows open. I checked the RAM allocated to Photoshop, in the Preferences > Performance tab, and I have tried it at 60% (980 MB) and 90% (1483 MB), still with no luck. I tried Purging the undo, clipboard and history with no help either.
    I read a couple of other posts that were similar to this and people suggested " resetting the preferences as described in the FAQ." but is there any way to do this without closing Photoshop?
    I can't loose this file, so any help woudl be appreciated.

    I'm sorry to hear it locked up on you, and with only a GIF saved (which is probably useless).  Perhaps I should have suggested Select All / Copy first.
    As far as what went wrong...  It might be helpful to know some of the specifics:
    What operating system are you running?
    Do you see any errors in the Windows error logs corresponding in time to this problem, and if so, what are the specifics?
    Do you have Photoshop updated to 12.0.3?
    What video card do you have, and do you have updated video drivers?
    Is OpenGL enabled in Edit - Preferences - Performance?
    What kinds of operations did you do since you started the session of Photoshop that ultimately went bad?
    What other applications were you running?
    What kind of computer is it (specifically, can you install more RAM)?
    It might not be possible to pinpoint just what went wrong, but perhaps we could make some general suggestions that might help.

  • File Save Dialogue

    With previous versions, I would use hot key Shift+Command+S to save as - it would open file save dialogue (looked like mac OS) and I could choose location (by default it was in same location) and I could rename and save/ replace.
    With Pro DC update, I hit a new adobe looking window that gives me redundant options that I have to choose and then I have to click from this new folder list or hit the blue button that says "choose a different folder" and then I can get to the normal file save dialogue what we are used to.
    This is inefficient and redundant for me - can an option please be added to remove this dialogue. Thank you.

  • "Save As" command with very slow Finder response in Tiger

    Ever since upgrading to Tiger using the "Archive & Install" option, my applications have had very slow operation of the "Save As" command. The Finder takes a long time to open and display the Save As window with folders and file name etc. This has occurred on all of my computers - a PowerMac G5, an iMac G4 and a PowerBook G4. It has not changed with upgrades as far as 10.4.5. I have tried the following suggested in another post about slow Finder actions without success:
    Refreshing and reblessing the following system files and the folder followed by reboot.
    1. /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
    2. /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
    3. /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/
    Trashing the following files and a folder followed by reboot
    1. /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxx.csstore
    2. /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxxxx.csstore
    3. /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/
    I have also deleted the /User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file and rebooted.
    Does anyone else have this problem and how do I solve it?

    Thank you Roger - this does seem to have solved the problem - my local Apple service people did not have an answer on this, so I'm grateful

  • Compress/zip files from the command line in Windows 7?

    In Windows 7 is there a native way to compress or zip files from the command line?  I'd like to do it without installing any third-party utilities such as 7Zip.

    I fully agree that Compact is not the answer. There are additional concerns with the Compact command. It enables disk compression which is a total no-no. Very bad! It makes your computer very slow and is quite difficult to undo. The only time anyone should
    use this command is when they're removing disk compression because someone turned it on to save space.  Turning this off has to be done by booting into the recovery console, if my memory serves me correctly, and it's a real nuisance.  So
    definitely no to the Compact command.
    If you wanted to compress files before sending them to another drive, or over a network, or by email, then Compact wouldn't actually help at all because the files have to get uncompressed whenever they're accessed, especially before sending them anywhere. 
    When I say accessed, I mean that just looking at a file triggers the OS to decompress it in the background and present you with an uncompressed version of it then letting you change it and recompressing it again for storage every single time you access the
    file, which is why your machine gets slower.  If you have folders or files that have blue text instead of black, then you've probably already made this mistake.
    I would also like to know if there is a built-in command for zipping files/directories, or, if there isn't such a thing built into Windows, then I would like to know if this is feature is accessible through Visual Studio, which would be just as good as having
    a command-line program for those of us that do a bit of programming.
    If anyone knows if MS provides such a feature, either by command-line or through an API, then I'd love to hear about it.  Good luck to those of you that have disk compression turn on.

  • "Save As" Command in Word for Mac 2011

    My Word for Mac 2011 "save as" command no longer defaults to the same file as the main doc. Is there a fix or work around? It used to be when I "Save As" it stayed in the same file. Now it defaults to the root directory: Documents.

    Thanks for replying..., but I'm referring to the "Save As" command (unlike the Duplicate in iWorks). When I begin to "save as" a document the current file flashes in the drop down window, but then suddenly reverts to the root directory--Documents. Prior to a recent update, it would--as you suggest, remain in the current file of the document I am "saving as". What makes me suspicious is this 'flash' and switch. (i.e. I use  the previous day's journal entry and "save as" for the current day. These are not to go into the 2014 File in my Journal File. But instead, the "save as" command flashes from the 2014 File the goes all the way back to the Main Documents File.) Do I need to save the daily journal entry as a template to work around this?

  • File save as

    What happened to file save as . . . ?
    Now we have this silly duplicate nonsense and then after the duplicate command I have to save to rename it etc.
    Any extra mouse click for what !!!!
    Any ideas anybody - Maybe I'm doing something wrong here.
    Thanks a lot

    All the new features are very easy to understand. You just have to be focus on what you are doing.
    Here you have it:
    Save: If you create a new file just “Save” and give a name.
    Resume: If you have a file open in Pages and leave the program and open Pages after some time then the last file that was last when you quit Pages will open. This is the “Resume” function.
    Duplicate: If you have a file open and working on and want to save it under a different name what you do is very simple: File ===>Duplicate this will temporary give a name that has the word “copy” after the file name. All this is just into the memory and it’s all temporary until you give it a new name. It is the same like the old “save as..” used to do things. After you did some more work into that temporary file that has the “copy” word into its name and you are ready to rename it, you just do a “Save” and give it any name you want.
    Versions: As you keep working on a specific file and keep adding text and stuff, you don’t have to worry to save anything because the system will do it for you. You can quit at any time and come back and all the work that you didn’t save will be there. Lion will take care of all this. The next time you open the same file for adding more text and stuff the system takes care or updating for you. Now, if you go on top of the page where the name of the file is and hold the mouse over the file name you will see an arrow pointing down. Click on that one and click “Browse all Versions”. What you will see is a time lime of how the file progressed from the beginning up to the last moment. You can chose to go back in time or chose to continue with your work or choose to copy and paste text between older versions into the latest or you can go back 3 or 4 versions back and make that one the current one.
    All this new stuff is very easy and very intuitive if you focus a little instead keep complaining about the old “Save As...”

  • Illustrator CC 18.1.0 crashes when saving files (Save As)

    I recently purchased and installed Adobe Creative Cloud 2014. When using Illustrator 2014.1.0 (18.1.0), the app frequently crashes when I try to save a file (Save As... to another format such as SVG). It's not repeatable every time, but it happens fairly often enough to lose work. Occasionally, it will crash when attempting to open a file - the app freezes when I try to navigate to a folder in the Open File dialog box and then crashes. I have never seen it crash when launching the app, and I do not have any external tablets (such as Wacom) or any third-party plug-ins installed. I'm running Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite with a 2009 13-inch MacBook Pro with 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M.
    I've searched through the Adobe forums and in other online resources and have only found threads about Illustrator crashing during startup or when having incompatible third-party plug-ins or certain Wacom tablets installed, of which I have neither.
    Anyone have any suggestions of a fix or workaround?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Macbook-adobe
    What happens when you try to open any file from the same location where you are saving the file using Save As command ?
    Will it be possible to join a connect session with me ?
    Please do let me know about your time availability ?

  • Word attaching document twice when using File Save & Send

    When a users chooses File - Save & Send - Send As Attachment, the attachment appears twice on the email.  This has happened with several users here at the firm.  Has anyone experienced this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  FYI
    - recreating the Outlook profile does not fix the issue.

    Hi,
    First, please try to test this issue with an Excel worksheet (via File - Save & Send - Send As Attachment) and check if you can reproduce it.
    In addition, please temporarily turn off your antivirus software and make sure it is not integrated with Outlook, then open Outlook in safe mode to check if the problem persists. To open Outlook in safe mode, press Windows key + R to open the Run command,
    type outlook.exe /safe and press Enter.
    Please let me know the result.
