How do you add the files name to images within a PDF

I have been searching the web trying to find an answer to this question, I am not sure what the proper term is called, but I refer to it as a 'coded pdf'. Hopefully someone knows what I am talking about and can help me find an answer!
The end product is a coded PDF that has the file name of all the images lableled on top the image. For example, a product brochure that has 500 images, all of them would be 'coded' with their file name, to find easy in source files. - Is this an export option in InDesign, or an option somewhere in Acrobat?
Thank you in advance for any help.

No, Melissa's asking for a filename that's searchable - text made of pixels is no use.
Acrobat cannot apply the original image filenames after the PDF has been created as it can't read the information from anywhere. You have two options, both in InDesign:
use smart captions to add the name of the file in a visible format beside each image.
use accessibility tagging and place the image filename in the ALT TEXT field, then export the PDF with tags enabled (the filename will not be visible on the page but will show if you hover your mouse over the image).

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Compressor: How do you keep the file name the same?

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way in Compressor to compress a file WITHOUT changing its name. I don't want the spacifics in the new media title
For instance, A007_C010_0216HX.mov becomes A007_C010_0216HX-Apple ProRes 422.mov
Thank you!

I am doing this on Compressor 4, but believe this also applies to Compressor 3 - create a new custom destination.
When you create that new custom destination you will be given the option of the naming convention you want to use:
Default destination includes appended name:
Custon Destination does not:
Once you have set that up, make that custom destination the default by changing the default destination in Compressor preferences.

Can I include the file names of images in the image itself?

*How can I get the file names of images on each image (without entering them by hand)?*
(I am bring 250 images into a Keynote document, with each image on its own slide. I want to have the file names of the images shown on each slide or image. This doesn't need to look nice.)
(If I can't do this in Aperture, I also have Photoshop Elements. Is there a way to do that in Elements?)

You can't do this directly via Ap3. There are plug in's i believe that make it possible. Maybe someone knows more? Allan

How can i add a file name(the text of the file name) as a child node to existing node in a treeView1 ?

bool exists = false;
TreeNode newNodeParsed = null;
TreeNode rootNode = treeViewMS1.Nodes[0];
TreeNode nextNode = rootNode;
string f = Path.GetFileName(txtUploadFile.Text);
TreeNode subnode = new TreeNode(txtDir.Text);
TreeNode filename = new TreeNode(f);
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
The rootNode is the root directory in the treeView1
subnode is a node inside the root. For example the subnode name is manuelisback
I'm checking if the subnode exist i want to add the file for example (lightning1.jpg) to be under subnode.
If the subnode is not existing add the subnode to the root and then add the file name lightning1.jpg under the subnode.
But the file name is never added under the subnode:
I added manualy the lightning1.jpg under test.
But the lightning1.jpg also should be added to be under manuelisback. There should be two lightning1.jpg here.
One under manuelisback and one under test. The one under test i added manualy from my ftp server.
But the one i want to be under manuelisback i'm trying to add from my program and it dosen't add it to there.
And when i'm using a breakpoint i see on subnode the text manuelisback and i see on f the text lightning1.jpg

If I understand your question correctly, you might want to try changing:
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
to something like:
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
subnode = node;
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
rootNode.Nodes.Add(f);

Right-click the track in your library, Get Info, go to the Info tab, and type in the correct information. When you are done, click "OK."

Actually, I really don't know what you say.
But when you see the properties of a file in Windows, you can see there are two file size. One is called "SIze" and the other one is called "Size on disk".
Therefore, I would like to know the size on disk but not just the size.

I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
Thanks,
Emelia

Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script?

Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script? I wrote entries to a generic log file and would like to include the script name.

Okay, So What you can do is
1. Read get the version from your database and redirect it to a text file(SQLCMD outout can be directed to text file using -o option or windows redirection operator >)
2. Now you can read this value from the text file either inside a batch file or a powershell script and decide what operations you can do.

How do I get the file name?

I'm kind of new to javascript -- working with a colleague who has Adobe Acrobat Professional -- I've got an *old* version of Adobe Acrobat and most of the functions don't work -- but how do we get the file name -- we're trying to develop an application -- so if the user opens c:\something.pdf, we'd like to know the file name (something.pdf).
If we get a fully qualified path, that's fine -- I think I can parse it.
Thank you in advance.

The 'paty' property of the 'doc' object has been available since version 3.01.
Using the following in the JavaScript console when the Acobat JS API Refenece is open:
this.path;
returns:
this.path;

How can I add the controller name in the subject of Alarm emails? PI2.1

How can I add the controller name in the Alarm emails in PI2.1? This would make it much easier to scan the mailbox and see what devices are affected.

Thanx for your reply. No, although helpful, that's not what I meant. In outlook, the first line of the header contains the full username follow by a horizontal line. Under that, the default headers like To:, From:, Subject: etc follow.
I need that firstline printed so we know instantly from which user the email was printed (the To: field often is the same name of the sender of the mail, therefor you won't know WHO printed it...).

How do you get the files to play continuously?

How do you get the files to play continuously? I created multiple slide shows in IPHOTO. I added them to IDVD and I cannot get them to play one right after another. Instead it goes to the main menu after each slide show.

Did you add them all at the same time into the slideshow area?
First, click on the + sign on iDVD's main menu, then select 'Add slideshow' and put all of them into the drop area. Now they will play continuously.
Here is a visual image from Old Toad that shows multiple videos in the slideshow drop so they will play one after the other, but it is the same for your slideshows:
