How can I save a PDF without specifying the directory?

When I try to save changes I made to a PDF (highlighting and/or commenting), I'm prompted to specify which directory I'd like to save to, and I have to verify that "yes, I want to overwrite the existing file that has the same name". I just want to save the changes I made to the file I made the changes in. Is there a setting I can change to skip all the hassle?
I'm using Adobe Reader XI and windows 8.1.
Thank you,
Ted

I don't think it is a good idea to put it in /usr/bin at all but if you must, isn't it safer to move it there, as Trilby suggested? And change the permissions appropriately? That doesn't strike me as especially wise but it seems better than symlinking to an executable in your home directory from /usr/bin.
One way to mitigate security threats is to limit the PATH root uses. So for an ordinary user, you might include /usr/local/bin or ~/bin. But for root, you wouldn't include these. This makes it a little bit harder to run something malicious as root inadvertently. If you start symlinking to executables in your home directory from /usr/bin, you defeat this. For example, I use this PATH for root:
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
So root can't even run stuff under /usr/local on my machine without explicitly giving the path. But if I symlinked from /usr/bin to stuff under ~/, there would be no point in the restriction.
EDIT: but I just realised sudo can... damn!

How can I start an executable without specifying the directory?

I have downloaded the tor browser bundle and I would like to be able to start it with a command like "torbrowser" and not by specifying the full directory?

How can i run external application without specifying the full path?

for example, ms word executable file is winword.exe, but in java i am using the following command:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office10\\winword.exe\");
the thing is, i dont know where ms word is installed on every machine, so rather than making an assumption, do you know how i can run ms word without specifying the full path?
thanks

1) You could ask the user to tell you where it's at (and remember for next time)
2) You could do a file search for it (and remember it for next time)

How can I save a PDF and retain the high resolution of the images it contains?

I'm using the trial version of Acrobat XI. The images are 1440dpi but always save at 120dpi. The PDF is for the content of a picture book so I need to be able to save them at a minimum of 300dpi. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Have just discovered that although the properties for each of the photos states 1440dpi they vary from 696 to 2131 pixels on the height dimension of 10cm!
Thanks to your help in guiding me to the Preflight profiles, I've now at long last produced a file that does the job! Thank you!!!
I created my file in Word, saved it as a PDF (3.72MB), replaced the images with the original files (Word had made them tiny), then used the Digital Printing (Color) profile to Analyze & Fix the PDF, thus creating a PDF (98MB) that was suitable to upload. There is no doubt a more succinct and less Heath Robinson method but I wasn't able to find it!

How can I save a PDF file sent to me in an attachment to my iPhone 5s

How can I save a PDF file or word file sent to me as an attachment directly to my iPhone 5s so if I want to read it I don't have to dig into my ail every time?

You will need to select the attachment and open in another app. If you do not have any apps that support PDF, Adobe reader for iOS is free.
For MS word files, you will need an app that supports those, like Documents to Go.
There is not generic file storage area in iOS, so you need to "open in" an app that supports that file type so that app can then add the file to its sandboxed local storage area.
If you need to markup the PDF, some good apps are GoodReader, iAnnotate, PDF Expert, GoodNotes - there are numerous others as well in the App Store.

How can I save my adjusments without clicking Done?

In ACR,
How can I save my adjusments without clicking Done?

Do you mean you are wanting to save your adjustments file-by-file as you work on them without exiting ACR via Done and then having to go back into ACR from Bridge, each time? I don’t know as you can that. For Cancel to undo all adjustments for the batch of images, there can’t be something else that saves the adjustments incrementally for individual images. Of course you’re in trouble if you accidentally hit Cancel after doing a batch of edits and lose everything.
The Bridge/ACR workflow was developed many years ago and is pretty simple-minded.
An alternative would be using Lightroom that remembers each adjustment as you do it and stores it in a permanent history so the adjustments are saved immediately but also can be undone, last-to-first, at any point in the future, for a particular image.

You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

How can I embed a pdf file into the body of an email?

The problem is defining what it even means to “embed” a PDF file in the body of an e-mail, especially if you are dealing with a multiple page PDF file.
E-mail is either pure text, rich text (something akin to RTF in Word), or HTML. PDF is not compatible with any of these. Thus, to embed a PDF file, something has to be converted and that means the PDF would be converted to a less graphically rich raster format. But is that what you would really want?
I think that the MacOS and iOS e-mail clients do under some circumstances place an attached PDF file within HTML segments and by clicking on same, you get the equivalent of extracting the full PDF file, but I have no real experience with that.
Another alternative is HTML with a proxy image with a hyperlink to an external PDF file that is invoked when you click on the hyperlink.
Perhaps you can explain what you are really trying to accomplish and what the recipient of such an e-mail's actual experience would be?

How can I add new games without overwriting the old ones?

I have just purchased two new games in the itunes store and although they are showing in the library (under applications) my previously purchased games are not. In Summary under games it will not let me choose selected games only 'all games' and when I press sync warns that the existing games will be replaced. How can I add these games without deleting the older ones? Also if I did want to remove a game from my ipod how do I do it?

Part of the problem is that I can never sync the whole thing as I dont keep all my music in my library (it seems silly to have my enture cd collection on the computer).
Clearly it ISN'T silly as it avoid issues like you are having right now. If you need more space, get an external hard drive. To me it is much sillier to only have your stuff on the iPod and no where else as the iPod, as a small portable player, is much more likely to be dropped, lost, damaged, stolen, forgotten somewhere, etc.
While I am not familiar with the use of games on the iPod (I have never bought any) you can switch the iPod to manually manage and then you can add content to your iPod without losing what is already there. Perhaps it works for games as well.
But long term, I strongly suggest you keep all your stuff in your library so if you need to (you have to perform a restore on the iPod, you lose it and buy a new one, etc.) you can very easily sync it all back to the iPod when needed.
Good luck,
Patrick

How can i save some image- profiles in the memory (RAM) of a system?

How can i save some image- profiles in the memory (RAM) of a system?
(and then I want to read out the memory and save the profiles in a HDD, but first it has to write in a memory, because the write-speed is better by the memory )

There must be an underlying premise for this question that I'm missing... When you run code everything is in memory... Programming 101. Create a variable, set a value to it, and it's in memory. Create a front panel control set a value to it and it's in memory. Data carried by the wires you use to connect your code is in memory. Or are you asking about controlling how that memory is managed - physical vs swap file?
