How do I get PDF files to automatically save as the file name provided by the source?

When I download a PDF file in Firefox, the file name changes from whatever name source used (e.g, important-report.pdf) to a miscellaneous group of characters (e.g., X2ba5zt.pdf). I often want to save the file using the 'source' name. I realize that can so do by changing the file name, but I would like to know if there is a way to set the default so that the source file name is used.

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

How do I get Lightroom 4 to automatically create an xmp file?*

Assuming you have RAW photos
Edit->Catalog Settings > Metadata then check “Automatically Write Changes to XMP”
Not RAW photos ... the same setting causes the metadata to be written into the files, but does not create an xmp file

How can I get pdf documents to automatically open in Adobe rather than Nitro Pro?

Hi,
When I bought my PC it had Nitro Pro installed (a paid for PDF programme, that you get for free for 3 months). The free trial has now ended. However, any pdf document I try to open will automatically try to open in Nitro Pro.
To solve it, I save it to my PC, then ask it to open in Adobe reader. That works, but seems a lot of work. Surely it must be possible to somehow let the pdf doc know that it should open in Acrobat.
Any suggestions?

Highlight the PDF, right click and choose "Open with", click on "Choose default program", select Adobe REader then select "Always use the selected program to open this type of file".

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?

How do I get PDF forms to export to excel in the desired order?
Here is what I have done:
As taken from another post:
Choose Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet.
In the Export Data From Multiple Forms dialog box, click Add Files.
In the Select file Containing Form Data dialog box, select a file format option in File Of Type option (Acrobat Form Data Files or All Files). Then locate the form files that you want to merge into the spreadsheet, select them, and click Select.
Repeat the previous step to add form data files that are in other locations, as needed.
Click Export. Then select a folder and filename for the spreadsheet, and click Save.
In the Export Progress dialog box, click either View File Now to open the spreadsheet file or Close Dialog to return to Acrobat."
     The problem now is that Adobe populates Excel in ABC order of the form, based off of the name of each box in the form. For example, if my form has three text boxes, named A, B, and C, then Adobe will export to Excel as such:
Row 1 =         A                              B                              C
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered
where 'data entered' is whatever the user typed into the form boxes. But what if I want a different order for exporting, and I don't want to rename my text boxes? What if I want:
Row 1 =         C                              B                              A
Row 2 =         data entered             data entered              data entered   ?
Is there a way to do this in acrobat x or xi?
Thanks

I don't have time to test right now, but there was a change with Acrobat 10 where it exports according to the tab order, which you may have to set manually, so give that a shot. Otherwise, you'll have to process the file after it's exported if you need the fields in a particular order. This wouldn't be too difficult to do with something like a VBS or JS script in Windows.

How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives?

How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives for files? I have a number of audio and video files located all over my computer. However, my music folder is located in one place. I only want ITunes to look there to ad music to my IPod? I don't want to add any videos to my IPod however, it automatically scans for this as well. Infact... I don't want ITunes to automatically scan for anything. Why is this doing this?

You can configure iTunes to sync only a subset of your music. Create a playlist in iTunes of the music you want on the iPod, and change the iPod sync settings. More info is here.

How do I get PDFs in iPad ?

How do I get PDFs on iPad?

the easiest is to email it to yourself or host it on a server on the internet. you could host it on a local computer and then use a file management software app from the App store to download it to your ipad. There are USB Flash Drive apps too which could be used to transfer files to your ipad. Off hand I don't recall what they're called or the ones that work best but try any and everything I've mentioned.

Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?

Hi
After compilation of a java program, it creates a class file.
After getting class file suppose class file has been deleted.
Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?
Thanks in advance.

get a decompiler and run your class file through it--I'll assume you want the source code back and that you are not trying to recover a missing class file by attempting to use the class file that is missing--if it's missing, then I've not a clue on how to get it back by using what is already missing.
BTW: many of your compilers have source control--if it does, just restore your missing file.

How do I get my photos from Elements 11 into a file folder.

How do I get my photos from Elemtnts 11 into a file folder. I am trying to use Blurb to make a travel book but because of the number of photos I have them in groups and want them to stay in groups for the book. Unfortunately the photos in each grouping are all over the place and will be definitely difficult and time consuming to bring into Blurb.

Thank you. I tried this before I wrote the question as the photos had just disappeared!
I was very nervous to try this again but did with some junk photos and after much trial and error - it worked! I'm not a real pro as you can tell and appreciate your help.

Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

How do I get ldapsearch to stop automatically minimizing base-64 encoded results?

It appears that: when executing an ldapsearch, any result that is base-64 encoded will automatically be decoded.
In cases of the user password that is an encoded salted hash, it ends up removing the "SHA" from the password value. This is not desired. In other instances of ldapsearch such as linux or sun, there is a flag (-e) for example to actually cause the minimizing of a base-64 value because it defaults to not-minimize. With the ldapsearch on Mac, it's the other way around.
So how do I get it to not minimize? Here is an example where the password is "base-64" minimized:
Example 1.
ldapsearch -b "o=mybase" -LLL -D cn=myAdminName -H "ldaps://ldapserver.anycompany.com" -w mypassword-x "cn=john.smith" userpassword
dn: cn=john.smith,ou=here,o=mybase
userPassword:: eolk3ru093jrkahflj90jAFDF3ruiodfanklgh
Normally, you see the following result where the value of password is not altered:
Example 2.
ldapsearch ......<yada yada>
dn: cn=john.smith,ou=here,o=mybase
userPassword: {SSHA}IJatTTSrueiovCAPjWWrnmadjfkdfuegjda8923rv==
In other iterations of ldapsearch such as on Sun (Oracle), you can execute the search with -e flag and it will produce the same result as example 1. (Not what I want).

QUOTIENT works with integers (or the integer part of a decimal numbers, so what you're seeing it the result of this arithmetic exercise (without the remainder):
The remainder is provided by the MOD (short for modul0) function.
Jerry is correct in describing the result you want as the "precise" answer rather than the "exact" answer. While both are the same for your example, the example is a special case.
Had you spent only a penny more (or a penny less) there would be no "exact" answer to the question "amount" divided by seven. There would be a correct answer, precise to the nearest hundredth of a dollar.
