How to clear recents on menu items?

When I right click on menu items,such as on pages or numbers, how can I clear recents for that menu?

Hey, rskern, thought I'd just share the solution I finally discovered while posting on another thread about this issue. This worked for me, at least in Mountain Lion:
If you clear the offending application from the Dock, as in drag it out of the dock, it seems to clear whatever weird cache is kept there. If you then reopen the app, and drag it in the dock so it stays there, it will update dynamically again, so when you use the "Clear Recents" menubar item, it will clear it in the Dock's menu (and Mission Control) too, even while the app is still open. Again, I just found this, so I don't know how long it'll take before that Dock menu seems to "get stuck" again, but it seems to clear it at least temporarily when you do that.
Hope this helps!

"open recent file" menu item - 2 issues / aspects (Mac & Windows)

regarding the "open recent file" menu item in the File menu.
1) should have a way to "clear recent items". Most software solves this by appending an item "Clear Recent Items" to the bottom of the list of aliases that springs forth from the menu.
2) Further, in the preferences it should be able to be set to 0 to prevent the function entirely, not just natural #s 1-99. This is the case in Windows Adobe REader, and on the Mac it was the case the last time I was able to check, but due to the bugs in 9.1.x regarding the ability to handle a case-sensitive file system I haven't been able to even open the preferences on the mac for a while.

Michael:
Thanks for your quick reply.
Please note that this issue: "open recent file" menu item that is not clearable, nor is the system preference able to be set to retain 0 files,
has absolutely nothing to do with the file system issue. It is just a design choice (or oversight or bug depending on your point of view).
It is an issue of security/privacy to not have the Reader keep a list of recently viewed files, or to at least allow the user to clear the list.
Thanks again for your time, interest, and speedy reply.
Cheers!

Can someone please help me figure out how to "clear" recent email addresses used in Mail?

Can someone please help me figure out how to “clear” recent email addresses used in Mail? For example, as I begin typing a name/email address in the “To:” field, Mail begins suggesting addresses that I’ve previously used. I don’t want any suggestions unless they are in my contacts.
Another example: When using MS Outlook, it will also remember and suggest email accounts previously used, but I can arrow down and delete an account from the list so it won’t automatically popup or suggest in the future.
I appreciate any guidance in this matter.

The iOS email app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which cannot be turned off. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients which can't be prevented. There is no option to clear the list of previous recipients - not at the present time anyway.
If you don't want any suggestions, select from contacts instead when addressing an email.

How to position your script menu item

Hello,
How do you position your menu item in the right place.
I want to create a new type of document.
How do I get my menu item under the New sub menu.
Thanks.
P.

The MenuItem add function shows you how:
MenuItem add (associatedMenuAction: MenuAction[, at: LocationOptions=LocationOptions.AT_END][, reference: MenuElement][, withProperties: Object])
so all it takes is telling it to add yours LocationOptions.AFTER the New menu item.

How to execute create PDF menu item

hi all,
I need to bind two pdf files.
I did that by using File->Create PDF->From Multiple Files option.
I want to automate this work using javascript.
How can i do this?
How can i execute the menu item Create PDF?
Thanks in advance and urgent please....

For the Acrobat SDK, no, it is not possible because there is no API to allow developers to do so via AppleScript. Now on to the world of "unsupported".
It "might" and I do stress the word *MIGHT* be possible via AppleScript System Events, but this is in all worlds is a VERY BAD way to do things. It requires that no other applications running in the foreground and if your application loses focus for another applications dialog box (i.e. Adobe Updater, Mac OS X Software Update, etc...) you are, what some might say "hosed" because then your AppleScript no longer can execute properly. Surely NOT something to be used in a production environment.

How I clear recent history in latest update

How I clear recent history in latest update?

I need to work on various projects and being able to clear recent enables me to start an a new project, like a clean sheet of paper. Only a rare person is happy to work on a mixed bed of information. I may be wrong for which I apologise, but wondering why clear recent is a benefit suggests knowledge of the application, but little experience in real use

Mini Bridge: how to clear recent files/folders?

Hi all,
I am a new user of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended and have a question about Mini Bridge. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and I'm using the 64-bit version of Photoshop.
My question is: how do I clear the Recent Files and Recent Folders lists from the navigation pane of Mini Bridge?
In Bridge itself I have set the 'number of recent items' to zero. I can't see any equivalent setting in Mini Bridge.
The reason for asking is that prior to purchasing and installing the Production Premium Suite, I demoed the Web Premium Suite, including Fireworks. Even though Fireworks is now uninstalled and I can find no reference to it in the Windows Registry, Fireworks has its own submenu of recent files in Mini Bridge. I can't figure out where this information is stored.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok, I just figured this out.
In Bridge (not Mini Bridge), it's the Reveal Recent toolbar icon, then "Clear Recent Files" and/or "Clear Recent Folders".
This is a bit counter-intuitive, considering that "number of recent items to display" in Bridge was already set to zero, but hey ho.
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else finds the thread and is curious.

Hello!
Please check if someone has activated the OpenFI/BTE 1650 in your
system.
Within this BTE you can change parts of the internal table where th
data that should get displayed is in.
Please review the BTE, or if after you deactivate it the line item
display works ok.
In other cases this message can be caused due to inconsistencies, for example if ( for some reason ) there are
entries in BKPF, BSID or BSIK or BSIS and nt in BSEG. Please run the reports below to check inconsistencies:
1) SAPF190 as per note 86067 if you have only the Classic GL active
or
2)TFC_COMPARE_VZ (tcode: FAGLF03) if they are using the NewGL.

How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
Thank you for helping.

George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
IMPORTANT:
Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
Good luck and enjoy.

How to hide/remove a menu item in Acrobat X

Hi,
I have a plugin created in acrobat sdk 9, running on acrobat x. I want to hide/remove the "Manage Trusted Identities" menu item, found under "Sign & certify (panel) > more sign & certify menu."
How can i achieve this using javascript?
thanks in advance,

Well, I dont want users to be able to access/modify the trusted identities, so i decided to remove/hide the:
Acrobat X > "Sign & Certify (panel)" > More sign & certify (i think its a menu) > Manage trusted identities (menu item).
And can i hide/remove above mentioned item in any way other than javascript, like plugin code?
Is it in any way possible to prevent user from accessing/modifying the acrobat trusted indentities?
Thanks.

HT2473 how do i remove a menu item?

i have accidentally added a menu item into a drop down menu.
how can i remove it?
my thanks in advance

If you are talking the icons in the upper right hand corner, that means holding down the command key as you drag the icon off the upper right corner off the menubar itself. Menuitems on the left of the help menu are application preference specific. Not all applications let you control the menubar. Applications with in the upper right can hide the entire menubar when you click on that icon in the upper right. To bring it back, click on in the same upper right corner. 10.7 and later have that full screen capability built-in for applications that support it.

How to assign script to menu item? (JS, CS3)

Hi All,
I can't find out how to assign a script to a menu item. Instead of clicking a script name in the script panel, I want to appear a menu item in the menu bar. When I click that name on the menu bar I want a certain script to run.
I've managed to put the menu item in the menu bar, but not to assign the script to it.
many thanks

Hi Marco,
Here is an example:
#targetengine "kasyan"
var myScript1 = new File(app.filePath + "/Scripts/Scripts Panel/Preflight CS3 v3.2.jsx");
var myScriptAction1 = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Preflight Document");
var myEventListener1 = myScriptAction1.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myScript1, false);
var myScript2 = new File(app.filePath + "/Scripts/Scripts Panel/Rename Sections v3.1.jsx");
var myScriptAction2 = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Rename Sections");
var myEventListener2 = myScriptAction2.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myScript2, false);
var myScript3 = new File(app.filePath + "/Scripts/Scripts Panel/Check 100 3 SE.scpt");
var myScriptAction3 = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Check Resolutuon of Images");
var myEventListener3 = myScriptAction3.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myScript3, false);
var myScript4 = new File(app.filePath + "/Scripts/Scripts Panel/Resize Images v16.1.scpt");
var myScriptAction4 = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Resize Images");
var myEventListener4 = myScriptAction4.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", myScript4, false);
try{
var myScriptMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.item("Scripts");
myScriptMenu.title;
catch (myError){
var myScriptMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.add("Scripts");
var myScriptMenuItem1 = myScriptMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction1);
var myScriptMenuItem3 = myScriptMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction3);
var myMenuSeparator1 = myScriptMenu.menuSeparators.add();
var myScriptMenuItem2 = myScriptMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction2);
