How to Avoid Save As dialog when Saving

We recently upgraded Adobe Reader X to XI.  One difference between the two is the behavior of the Save function the first time it is performed.  In Reader X, when Save was selected, the file would simply save the current file, overwriting the original file.  In Reader XI, when Save is selected, the Save As dialog box appears, and if the user does not change the file name or path, a warning pops up asking whether the existing file should be overwritten. I understand that this behavior is a result of Protected Mode being enabled.  Is there a way to keep PM enabled, but always allow files to be overwritten as was the case in Reader X? 

Yes, it does.  (as long as the pdf has been opened via a COM interface)

  • Avoid Save As dialog when Signing a document in Acrobat?

    I'm working on a web application that allows users to download a PDF, sign it, and then upload it back to the server. I'm trying to minimize the number of steps required of the user, so I would like to by-pass the Save As dialog that is presented when a user signs a document in Acrobat.  Is there a way to do this?
    Basically, I would like the signed document to be saved *automatically* in one of the following ways:
    1. Automatically overwrite the original document
    2. Save to the same location as the original document, but with a different name (e.g., [original_name]_Signed.pdf)
    3. Save to a subdirectory of the original document's location (e.g., in a "Signed" folder)
    Is this possible using JavaScript or a custom plug-in? Or in a simpler way?

    Okay, let's say I chose to do an HTTP POST of the signed PDF content from the Acrobat browser plug-in to the server -- how would I accomplish that?  Would it require JavaScript in the PDF to make it happen?  Or is there a way to instruct the Acrobat browser plug-in to do it without any custom coding?
    Thanks for your replies, Irosenth.

  • How to suppress Save As dialog when using the Close button on an editable pdf

    Environment: Windows 7, SDK 9, Adobe Acrobat Pro X, Visual Studio 2010 Professional
    Summary: when a document is opened for editing using automation, edited, then closed using the "Close" button, the confirmation dialog appears, "yes" is selected and then the "Save As" dialog appears.  It should save without the "Save As" dialog in the same way it does were the document opened from Adobe Acrobat directly.  My question is, is there any flag to set which governs whether the "Save As" dialog appears as part of the close document process.  It is behaving as if the document is read-only upon close. (it isn't)
    This is how the document is opened from C++:
    if(SUCCEEDED(hr = ::CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(Adobe9::Acrobat::CAcroAVDoc), 0, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IUnknown, (void**)&pUnk))){
    hr = OleRun(pUnk);
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr)){
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr = pUnk->QueryInterface(&pAVDoc))){
    hr = pAVDoc->Open((BSTR)CComBSTR(strPath), strDocName, &bRet);
    Even when the plugin is removed from the plug_ins\AcrobatSDK directory, the behaviour is the same.
    Another reproduction is running the BasicIacVC sample, commenting out all lines from gAcroPdDoc->Close(); in InitInstance() and returning TRUE.  If an editable document is opened using the sample, edited then closed using the "X" button, the confirmation dialog is followed by a "Save As" dialog as if it were a read-only document which it is not.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Evan

  • Filename in Save As dialog when saving PDF file

    I have a web site serving up PDF files. Without going into details, the URLs of the PDFs are not just your basic URL but look simething like this:
    http://www.domain.com/WorkFlowApp/Clients/demo1/secure/Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http://ww w.domain.com/ICCollab/IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
    In this case the actual filename is "Promo Cover Cool-MedHi.pdf"
    While viewing in Safari (OS X), if the user saves the PDF to their local machine, the Save As dialog comes up and the filename field is automatically populated. The problem is, instead of using just the filename, the field contains this:
    http---www.domain.com-WorkFlowApp-Clients-demo1-secure-Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http---ww w.domain.com-ICCollab-IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
    I know when performing the same action on Windows using Internet Explorer, the Save As dialog box filename field is populated correctly with just the filename (although it shows up URL encoded as Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedHi.pdf, which is OK).
    I'd like to be able to force Safari to use just the filename in the Save As dialog box. Has anyone come accross this problem and figured out a solution?

    Hello Ebnul.nao
    I am having this same problemwith trying to work this out.
    Did you succeed in the end?
    I will really appreciate your help if you did
    Kind regards

  • How do you turn off the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template in Dreamweaver?

    As the title states I'd like to not have to see the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template.  I'm not sure what its purpose is other than to annoy as it does not seem to do anything  -- selecting update, don't update, any combination of files and or hitting escape appears not to make any difference wrt wheter it updates the pages or not (it does every time).
    Any help will be appreciated.

    The "more like this" window gave me the answers.  No current ability to turn off.  I've submitted a request to add this feature.

    I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
    It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
    I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
    MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.

  • 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 avoid submitting a page when tabular form rows are empty

    Hi,
    I have a master detail form in my application. There are 2 tables that are used Table A and Table B. Table A contains Ticket number and Table B refers to Table A through a foriegn key and Table B have columns like Date,Name, Age, ticket_id (that refers to the ticket_number of the Table A).
    This is how the application works:
    In a page there is a field for Ticket Number, once the user enters the Ticket Number and click Add Details, a tabular Form with 5 empty field appears... (Done through Page Process->Data Manipilation->Add Rows)
    This form contains fields Date, Name and Age. Once the user fills in all the details and click Submit button, the page is submitted. Whatever values that was entered is saved in Table B. Page Sucess message appears. This works fine.
    But once the Ticket Number is entered and Add Details is clicked, and without entering the values in the Tabular Form, if Submit button is clicked, there is no error showing up neither I see Page success message. But this should not be allowed. There should be some error showing up...
    Tabular Form Validations works only when user enters some values in the Tabular Form and click Submit. For the above scenario, where the form is untouched the validation doesnt work.
    How can I get this done? Any ideas?

    Hello Suzi,
    >> if (document.wwv_flow==null)
    The document.wwv_flow is an object representing the current form that was just rendered on your screen. As such, it can never be null.
    >> How to avoid submitting a page when tabular form rows are empty
    The correct way, especially for versions prior to APEX 4.0 is to use JavaScript, but for that, you need to know and understand how APEX generates your tabular form, HTML wise.
    To be very brief, APEX attached a unique ID to every updatable cell in the tabular form, using a certain pattern – each updatable column is getting a unique name (e.g. ‘f01’,’f02’ etc.) and the ID of a cell is a combination of this name with the serial row number the cell is on. For example, a cell on the third row in an updatable column called ‘f04’ will be given an ID of f04_0003. (More detailed explanation, with an example, can be found in my book).
    What you should do is to check these cells according to your validation policy (e.g. is all five row must be filled, is all the columns in a specific row must be filled, etc.).

    Arie.

  • How do I save "Sent" messages when sending from the ipad

    How do I save "Sent" messages when sending from the ipad2?

    By default sent items should be saved in your Sent folder. For IMAP type accounts you should be able to change that by selecting the account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then selecting 'Account' on the popup for it and then 'Advanced' at the bottom of the next popup

  • Display save as dialog when downloading a file

    Hi,
    I want to display a save as dialog when the user downloads a file.
    Now I get a dialog where the user can choose to open or save it.
    I set these headers:
    res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filnamn);
    res.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/force-download");Thanks!

    Sorry!
    When the user downloads a file I want to open a dialog where the user
    can write a filename and then click Save to save the file.
    Today I get a dialog where the user first have to choose if he wants to open or save the file.
    When he clicks save then the dialog appears that I would want to be displayed.
    I hope this clearifies my question.

    i already asked this question!
    how do i save my tabs when shutting down ff in order to reboot??

    You can give feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/garageband.html, this forum is only read by users!
    A couple of comments:
    2. Click on that little icon with the aligning arrows in the lower right corner of the timline, and you can stop it at any time.
    6. GB does offer markers if you make the Podcast track visible. Also, you can use the Arrange track to name portions of your song and even copy a section like a chorus to several positions in the song. A bit glitchy.
    8. GB 08 offers 24 bit recording and exporting.
    10. If you don't want the default track to appear, create a template file with all the tracks you want when starting a song and put it in your dock, so you will always have your favorite layout when you start.
    I don't even know what HAS changed.
    Actually, a lot. GB 08 was a major new release. For a comprehensive list of new features, see http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/WhatsNew08.html.

  • How to avoid the "Save As" dialog when using "Close Button"

    Hello All,
    I am facing a problem while closing a pdf file.
    I am using the following code to Open a pdf file.
    CAcroApp objAcroApp = new AcroAppClass();
    CAcroAVDoc objAVDoc = new AcroAVDoc();
    objAVDoc.Open(C:\\new.pdf,Sample);
    objAcroApp.Show();
    After opening the document I am **** some changes (adding markup) in the file.
    Then I am closing the file using the Close Button and in YES for the save confirmation dialog.
    Here is the problem.
    After giving YES, I am getting a Save As dialog with "Sample.pdf" in the FileName box.
    I am getting this only in Acrobat 9.0.
    When I tried the same in Acrobat 8.0 I didnt get Save As dialog. It saved with out "Save As" dialog in "C:\\new.pdf".
    I need to give the same behavior in both Acrobat 9.0 and 8.0.
    Please help me out to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

    In what you have posted, there is no reason it shouldn't work the same way in Acrobat 9. I would recommend that you submit your complete application to developer support.

  • How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

    This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
    Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
    You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
    To download a PDF file from a link:
    1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
    2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
    My issue:  I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in.  I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory.  Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

    There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.
