How to add/change Job Options when saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF using Acrobat 9

If you are logged on as a domain user you could have a problem if you want to add or edit .joboption files in Distiller 9 when it is opened by FrameMaker.
After installing Acrobat 9 the action of saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF automatically starts Distiller 9 which then uses the "Job Options" files that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. Unless some changes have been made to the "Security" settings of the "Adobe" folder and the "Adobe PDF" folder under "All Users" it will not be possible to add or edit ".joboption" files in the "Settings" folder located in that "Adobe PDF" folder.
This can be confusing because when Distiller 9 is started separately, from Programs, it then uses the job options located in your own user folder (C:\Documents and Settings\NLPW\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings). In your own user folder (in my case: NLPW) you can add or edit the job option files.
In order to be able to add or edit job option files under "All Users" you must be included in the "All Users" list and have the appropriate "Permissions" security setting. To set this, right click on the "Adobe" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe) and select "Properties", then click on the "Security" tab and add yourself to the list. Finally, (important) check the "Full Control" box under "Allow" in the permissions field. Repeat this procedure on the "Adobe PDF" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF). Now you have the ability to add or edit ".joboption" files located in the "Settings" folder and these will be available when Distiller is started by FrameMaker.

Thank you so much for that tip. I don’t have exactly the same set-up (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 8 Professional), but changing the permissions as you describe fixed the problem of not being able to save or change Distiller job options which has been bothering me for a while.

  • How do you change view options when opening a file?

    For some reason in CS5 when I choose File-Open it defaults to the "List  View" in Windows XP. I have set my windows so they all have the same  view (Detail-View) in the Control Panel. CS3 opens in Detail-View, but  all programs across the CS5 platform will default to List-View. Any  thoughts on how to change that? Has any one else noticed this? Thanks!

    Near as I can tell, after doing a bunch of Internet research, the dialog always defaults to list view in Windows XP.  Apparently changes were made in Vista to remember the last setting, but that doesn't apply to XP.
    I could not find any config settings or registry tweaks anywhere that would change the File-Open dialog behavior to put up Details view by default.
    I did, however, run across a downloadable freeware utility called "FileOpenPatcher" that patches the file commdlg32.dll in Windows XP ONLY so that you will see more columns of information by default in Windows File-Open dialogs.  I tested it with Photoshop Elements, which I had installed on an XP virtual machine.  It apparently stuffs some values into the DLL to change the defaults, and it appears to work on XP SP3.
    http://www.netcult.ch/elmue/ElmueSoft-en.htm
    It requires a reboot after installing.
    This is now what I see after running FileOpenPatcher, when I choose File - Open:
    Disclaimer:  I did not write this software, and I only just found it on the Internet.  You will, of course, have to decide for yourself whether to trust it on your system.  Use it at your own risk.

  • How to remove save, cancel option when end user runs the workbook in Portal

    Hi,
    how to remove save, cancel option when end user runs the workbook and make some small changes like using page items or increasing rows and columns
    I already made 2 changes
    1) I removed the option in Oracle Enterprise Manager under discoverer viewer of saving
    2) I also removed the option of Allow saving changes made in Viewer when adding workbook to portal
    But still the end user gets options of saving when made small changes to workbook like increasing rows and columns
    Is their any place, I need to make changes?
    Thanks in Advance

    Don't use JSP to serve a binary file. It almost implies the use of awful scriptlets and the invocation of both the response writer and the response outputstream which would only lead to IllegalStateException headaches in the server logs.
    Use a Servlet instead. Specify the file name as request parameter and let the servlet read the file and write it to the outputstream of the response.

  • How to add/change missing header lines in RNIF B2B?

    Hi all,
    We are using RNIF exchange protocol. We have sent invoice from BPEL to B2B. The message invoice reaches the trading partner but they are unable to process it or sent ack back as few header lines are missing in the RNIF envelope.
    Can anyone tell me or provide some pointers abt how to add/change missing header lines in B2B?
    These are the headers missing:
    Delivery header:
    <locationID> <Value>HostTradingPartner</Value> </locationID>
    Service Header:
    <messageStandard>
    <FreeFormText xml:lang="EN">PIDX</FreeFormText>
    </messageStandard> <standardVersion>
    <VersionIdentifier>1.0</VersionIdentifier>
    </standardVersion>
    Can anyone provide some inputs on this?

    As per RNIF standard, all these header elements (locationID in Delivery Header & messageStandard and standardVersion in Service Header) are optional. As you are using RossettNet over RNIF, so Oracle B2B might not be setting these headers.
    I do not have a 10g setup here so cann't test it. I would suggest you to raise a case with Oracle Support because PIDX is a non-RossettaNet standard and it's implementation in Oracle B2B will be different to RossettaNet implementation. Meanwhile, I would try the same in B2B 11g setup.

  • How can I change view options for ALL playlists?

    How can I change view options for ALL playlists? With one single click or trick?
    I have a lot playlists and don't want to change every single one of them separatly.
    Thanks for your help. (I use Windows 7)

    There's no FAST way I know of, which is what I think you mean.
    Only the painful SLOW way of one-by-one.
    You could make a new playlist from the main library after you've set the columns up as you like.
    Go to an existing playlist that doesn't have the columns you want, and select all.
    RIght-click > Add to Playlist and send them to the new playlist.
    That's still one-by-one and only works with static playlists, not smart ones.

  • No crop mark option when saving as PDF in CS4

    I am using photoshop CS4 on a PC.
    When saving as a PDF on the left hand side option list there is no crop mark/ trim option available (listed with output, compression etc).
    When saving as a PDF via the print option the image loses its high res dpi so this method is not an option.
    Any suggestions to how i can get the trim mark option when "saving as PDF"?
    Thanks :-)

    Select show options when placing and select the appropriate crop to choice.

  • Resolution Issues in Jpeg Options when Saving

    Hi, I am suddenly experiencing an issue when saving Jpeg files in photoshop CS4. I work on hundreds of files at a time. I open the Jpeg photo, edit it and when ready hit 'save' and 'return' to accept the settings which are usually set by default to 12. But recently Photoshop is randomly selecting a lower compression in the Jpeg options when saving. It is only on a few random images though. If I open the original, re-edit the image and save it again, then it usually saves at 12 on the second attempt which is even more strange... Can I lock the settings to by default save all files at level 12 to avoid having to re-edit the shots I happen to miss spotting the change in compression on?
    And doesn anyone know what would prompt photoshop to suddenly save certain images in a lower res automatically? I am wasting hours re-editing and double checking files which is very frustrating. Please help!!
    Thank you in advance for any asdvice.

    Hi Mark, thanks for your reply but the images I'm working on are all shot with the same settings and exported out of iPhoto with the same settings before imported into Photoshop for editing. So they haven't yet been saved in Photoshop. My problem is when I save the file after editing, photoshop is automatically selecting 0 Jpeg image quality rather than 12, which is what it generally selects, except now on these few select images? It's all a bit bizarre because I have used this method for 4 years and now all of a sudden I am having this problem. I assumed I had hit a shortcut somewhere and adjusted the parameters unintentionally. It's rather hard to explain  but I hope that makes more sense. Thanks again to anyone who can help, I'm deseperate to get to the bottom of this....

  • Changing file type when saving doesn't work

    How can I fix the problem where, if I change file type when saving, eg from tiff to jpg, the 'jpg' suffix is not appended in the save window? It remains as tiff. This has only started happening recently.

    I have a G5 iSight running OSX 10.4.11 with all the latest upgrades. The problem is about a week old.
    Yesterday I did a clean install of everything (not because of this problem) which I'm sure would have cleared the problem. But I was playing around with importing all my old PS and InDesign settings via copying the old preference files (and others), and the tiff/jpeg problem has reappeared. Seems to me like one of the files I copied, contains the problem. I suspect the only way out of this is to reload PS. But I was hoping it might be as simple as deleting a certain preference file.

  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

  • When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

    when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

    Hi John
    I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.
