How do I add the filename as an overlay on a PDF file compiled from images?

I am creating pdf files from digital camera images and want to add the filename as a visible overlay (ie either in Header/Footer or as a watermark). I can find all other alternatives eg Bates numbering, customised Header/Footer etc), but cannot find a solution to adding each image's filename to the image. I can do it in Bridge but not Acrobat.

Acrobat does not preserve the original filename information of images.
You should it in another application (Photoshop?) and then import the final
image into Acrobat.

How to allow only the specified users/groups to open my pdf files...

Hi there,
I'm looking for resources/documents describing how to allow only the specified users/groups to open my pdf files by the Java API...
I've found a sample code creating a policy in the following document.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/sdkHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/w whelp.htm?context=sdkHelp&topic=learn_lc_sdk_invokeremoting
( API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Rights Management Service API Quick Starts > Quick Start: Creating a new policy using the Java API )
But the sample code doesn't set recepients( users/groups ) who can open the pdf file.
How can I make it ?
Any samples ? or Does anybody can tell me which Java classes/methods I should use ??
Policy#addPolicyEntry(PolicyEntry policyEntry) ??
PolicyEntry#setPrincipal(Principal principal) ??
or none of them ?
Any hints are appreciated !
Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what you are tying to do here, but typical approach when issuing one PDF par user/groups scenario goes like:
1. Create policy for specific purpose and add principal (user/group)
2. Apply policy on server side
3. Deliver the file (via email etc...)
If you are looking for sample codes, try quick start.

If you go "API Quick Start/Rights Management Service API Quick Starts", you might find something useful. I think you need "Creating Policies" or "Modifying Policies" for step 1 above, and "Applying Policies to PDF Documents" for step 2.
Hope this helps.

How can I set the maximum number of restarts for my PDF files?

I want sent my PDF to a friend,but I just allow him see it only twice.
How can I set the maximum number of restarts for my PDF files?
My software edition is Acrobat X

In the old days when PDFs were only opened on desktops and only in Acrobat or Reader, scripting could fake security features and people were generally convinced. As there are so many ways to open a PDF without scripts ever being run (from mobile devices to in-browser display, or simply opening the file in Illustrator), none of that works anymore.

How do I save the text I have typed in a PDF file in Adobe, then mail it.

How do I save text that I have typed in a PDF file in adobe and then mail it
Currently goes through without text

You don't have to do anything special to save text you type as an annotation or in a form. What's probably confusing you is that if you view the PDF within iOS apps like Mail, it appears the text you typed disappeared. However, when you view the PDF file in Acrobat or Reader on Mac, Windows or other platform, the text is there. (It's a limitation of the native iOS PDF viewers.)
If you've updated to the newest version of Reader, you should also get a dialog offering the choice between "Share Original Document" and "Share Flattened Copy". The dialog explains the difference between the options.

How do i standardize the path of Adobe to open a PDF file?

Hi all,
In one of my forms, i have created a Text Item (named as PDF1 ) in which i will display the name of PDF file and also have created a check box (named as CH1 & put in the block 'PDFCHK' ).
Here what i am doing is when i click on the check box, the PDF file opens (name present in the Text Item).
So i have written the following code.
DECLARE
filename VARCHAR2(256);
APPID PLS_INTEGER;
BEGIN
IF :pdfchk.CH1 = 1 THEN
filename :='C:\'||:PDF1||'.pdf';
AppID := DDE.App_Begin('C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe '||filename,DDE.APP_MODE_MAXIMIZED);
END IF;
END;
The problem here is that since i have hardcoded the path of Adobe (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe) , there is a problem.
In all the systems different versions of Adobe is installed & in different folder. So it does not work on all systems. So how do i standardize the code such that it searches the path itself or what can be the remedy to this???
Please help me on this?

Using Javascript & Actions to resize an image and add the filename as text

Hello,
I am currently working on a way to take an image, resize it and add exactly what is in it's file name (before extension) as a text layer. I have succeded in this BUT am having issues with file names that require more than one line of text.
I need the text to align to the bottom of the image & the script or action must then resize the image so that the text does not overlap.
Any ideas on how this can be done?
At the moment I am using:
-"Fit Image.jsx" to resize my image to a specific size (This was included in the Photoshop CS5 scripts)
- A script to add the file name without extension and place the file name at a specific position.
AdFileName.jsx
if ( documents.length > 0 )
var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
try
var docRef = activeDocument;
// Now create a text layer at the front
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
// strip the extension off
var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "." );
if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
   fileNameNoExtension.length--;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join(".");
myTextRef.contents = fileNameNoExtension;
// off set the text to be in the middle
myTextRef.position = new Array( docRef.width / 2, docRef.height / 2 );
myTextRef.size = 12;
        myTextRef.font="Arial-BoldMT"
        //set position of text
        myTextRef.justification = Justification.CENTER;
        myTextRef.kind = TextType.PARAGRAPHTEXT;
        myTextRef.width= docRef.width;
        myTextRef.height= docRef.height/ 2;
        myTextRef.position= [0, docRef.height * 0.88];
catch( e )
// An error occurred. Restore ruler units, then propagate the error back
// to the user
preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
throw e;
// Everything went Ok. Restore ruler units
preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
else
alert( "You must have a document open to add the filename!" );
Can the position be changed to allow more rows of text but keep it aligned with the bottom of the layer?
How can I script in a way to make the image resize based on the amount of text lines?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can add a text layer any where the only thing you need to worry about is the size of the font you use. You can normally calculate a font size by saving the images resoltuion and then setting its resolution to 72 DPI calculate a font size basied of the images pixel width and the number of characters you want in a line. After adding the text layer you can restore the image to its original resolution and align the text layer by making a selection and alignint the text layer to the selection. There are nine posibilites like the positions in the selection you can align to like a tick tack toe board. You need to use a script to add the text layer because your retrieving the filename. The positioning of the text layer could be done easily in an action the would use the scriot to add a text layer the do a select all the align the added text layer to the selection.
About your script don't make text paragraph just add new line characters to make a multi line text layer So it can be positioned easily
I do just that with my stampexif action. The action uses my stampexif Photoshop java script to add a multi line text layer containing some formatted EXIF data then the action centers the text layer and add a layer style to it. Link http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/StampExif.jsx Example

Add an entry to the list. The list is comma delimited and each entry is a

How do I add the country code to all contacts when it did not previously appear?

I just moved from the US to the UK and purchased a new iPhone 4S. When my contacts migrated from Outlook to the iPhone they did not include the country code in the US and therefore all contacts numbers are now listed incorrectly. How can I add the country code to hundreds of contacts painlessly?
Thanks in advance.

International Assist is activated. Upon further review this appears to be a case of the original country codes not being added when the contact list was constructed. iOS has not figured this out and thus when changing countries I've been forced to add the country codes to every contact record manually. Disappointing and very labour intensive. If only Apple allowed for a macro that simplified the mass change.

How do i add the same mouselistener to many different instantiated objects?

This is for a card game.
The deck class instantiates 52 cards from the card class.
The game has a deck of cards. I am dealing each player their cards, the player is to be dealt 8 cards each of which should have a mouselistener.
How do I add the same mouselistener to each of the cards dealt.
This is how I have it so far but it only adds a mouselistener to the last card dealt.
     public void dealPlayerACard()
          taken = availableCards.dealCard();
          taken.showCard();
          taken.addMouseListener(this);
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent MEvent)
          playerHand.remove(taken);
          paintHand(playerHand);
          playerHand.repaint();
Any help would be appreciated

Yeh I have 52 card object in the deck. Theyre not individually named, they were instantiated in the deck class.
standardDeck.add(new Card(a, b, new ImageIcon(str), cardBack)); //creating and then adding the cards
So i draw one card at a time, and I had a mouselistener to that particular card. But the thing is, When the cards are clicked, some checking happens and if the move is legal, the card is added back into the deck and its mouselistener should be removed. This is because that card could then be added to the computers hand, and I dont want no player using the computer players cards.
The game deals the cards to players, players use the cards and then send them to the bottom of the deck, the deck is shuffled and then the game continues until a condition is met by either of the players.
So i dont understand how a loop solution would work here. My mind is blank at the moment, maybe im not understanding properly. I am new to java. So if you do know the answer, please tell it to me. Please dont wait for a lightbulb to appear above my head. ;)

How do I add the ClearCache argument to a tab's url?

How do I add the ClearCache argument to a tab's url? When I click on a tab, I want to clear the page items values.

Adrian,
Okay, first realize that when you press a standard tab, it's just like a button that submits whatever page you're on. Then the on-submit-before-computation processes and after-submit computations on that page fire. Then the page defined as the target for the pressed tab is redirected-to. There is no way to alter the target URL of that branch generically for the tab. Consider a tab T. Say you've defined that tab to go to page 20. if you are viewing page 2 and press tab T, page 2 gets submitted and then the engine redirects to page 20 as the target. A similar thing happens if you are viewing page 3, i.e., page 3 will get submitted and you'll get redirected to page 20.
So, the only way I know of to do what you asked is to create an application-level process that fires on-submit-before-computations that examines the current page ID and request value (which will identify the tab pressed) and then would clear cache for one or more pages as you require. Since this would fire before the tab-associated branch, it should produce the result you described.
