How to disable automatic PDF previewing when saving

In a recent update, Illustrator began to preview PDF documents in the default PDF viewer after every save. This interrupts my workflow. Can it be disabled? I can't find a preference option for it. I'm not even sure how to describe it—it functions like InDesign's "View after exporting," except the file isn't being exported. And, out of curiosity, if anyone know why this would be a feature, I'd be curious. Has there been a problem with Illustrator PDFs looking different in Acrobat, Preview, or other PDF viewers/printers?
Thanks

That does work—I should have thought of that! But I still want to change the default behavior. It seems that the view PDF option was either created or made default in a recent update. I want to set the default to not view—I almost never want to do that. Is that possible? Or do I need to save-as every time I work in an old file?
<curmudgeon> This strikes me as an improvement like "scrubby zoom," which just messes up the workflow for existing users for some marginal benefit to new users. I'm all for new functionality, but not deprecating reliable workflows for minimal or no gain.</curmudgeon>

How to disable automatic opening of previously viewed items in Preview or TextEdit in Max OSX Lion?

How to disable automatic opening of previously viewed items in Preview or TextEdit in Max OSX Lion? It was no such issue on Snow Leopard OS.
Please help

This is a new behavior introduced in Lion. You can disable it completely via System Preferences, General: uncheck the "Restore windows..." box toward the bottom.
You can disable this behavior on a case by case basis by either closing all windows before quitting, or holding the option key while quitting, or holding the shift key while launching from dock.

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 disable automatic login and to see other accounts?

I bought MacBook Pro Retina with Mac OS X 10.8.2 in a shop, where there already was account "kiosk".
I created new account, gave him Administrator priviliges.
In the Preferences / Users & Groups I see kiosk account as "Managed", and my new account as "Admin".
I set:
System Preferences / Security & Privacy / General / Disable automatic login = Checked.
System Preferences / Users & Groups / Login Options / Automatic login = Off.
But still I have two issues:
1) After start the laptop automatically logins into kiosk account, while I explicitly switched off this option
2) Apart from kiosk account, the OS doesn't see any other accounts, for example my new account.
For example, when I changed login shell for kiosk account into /usr/bin/false, I couldn't login at all. The OS said something like, there are no active accounts. So I had to set login shell back to /bin/bash using single-user mode.
The questions are:
How to disable automatic login into kiosk account?
How to see a choice between kiosk account and my new account in the login dialog?
How to delete kiosk account? Currently the delete option is disabled for kiosk in System Preferences / Users & Groups.
So far after laptop start I automatically login into kiosk, then switch into my new account with entering a password, which is weird.
Thanks in advance.

It is your only option if you want to get rid of that other user account. It seems the system is Hard Set to boot to that account. How and why I have not Idea but the first thing you should of done was Restoring it to the Original OS, if it was not Mt Lion to begin with, in doing so getting rid of all other accounts and files from that other account.
Time to Bit the Bullet and Erase the drive completely and reinstall the original shipping version of OS X on that system.

Cannot disable automatic attachment preview in Mavericks Mail?

Hello All,
I noticed after upgrading to Mavericks that Apple Mail started automatically previewing attachments again... I had disabled this in previous versions of OS X. I tried to disable this again in the terminal using:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
But after re-starting Mail, attachments are being automatically previewed again.
I consider this a security issue so I would like to disable automatic attachment previewing as soon as possible. Has anyone been able to do this with the Mail included with Mavericks yet?

Just a basic examplo: getting an email with an open image, that the 2 people around me can immediately see, can pose a serious security for anything I'm doing with my Mac!
So, you see, SECURITY is much more than a mere technical problem!
Cheers
That's a privacy problem, not a security problem.
If you are receiving images in emails that the others arround you are not qualified to see, your office setup is the security problem, not Mail.
Use a different email client that gives you the option. I have no idea what those are, though.

Thanks Shari, yes the right-click Print command is there. Strange.

How to disable automatic statistics collections on tables

Hi
I am using Oracle 10g and we have few tables which are frequently truncated and news rows added to it. Oracle automatically analyzes the table by some means which collects statistics of the table but at the wrong time(when the table is empty). This makes my query to do a full table scan rather using indexes since the statistics was collected when the table was empty.Could any one please let me know how to disable the automatic statistics collection feature of Oracle?

Hi
I am using Oracle 10g and we have few tables which
are frequently truncated and news rows added to it.
Oracle automatically analyzes the table by some means
which collects statistics of the table but at the
wrong time(when the table is empty). This makes my
query to do a full table scan rather using indexes
since the statistics was collected when the table was
empty.Could any one please let me know how to disable
the automatic statistics collection feature of
Oracle?
First of all I think it's important that you understand why Oracle collects statistics on these tables: Because it considers the statistics of the object to be missing or stale. So if you just disable the statistics gathering on these tables then you won't have statistics at all or outdated statistics.
So as said by the previous posts you should gather the statistics manually yourself anyway. If you do so right after loading the data into the truncated table, you don't need to disable the automatic statistics gathering as it only processes objects that are stale or don't have statistics at all.
If you still think that you need to disable it there are several ways to accomplish it:
As already mentioned, for particular objects you can lock the statistics using DBMS_STATS.LOCK_TABLE_STATS, or for a complete schema using DBMS_STATS.LOCK_SCHEMA_STATS. Then these statistics won't be touched by the automatic gathering job. You still can gather statistics using the FORCE=>true option of the GATHER__STATS procedures.
If you want to change the automatic gathering job that it only gathers statistics on objects owned by Oracle (data dictionary, AWR etc.), then you can do so by calling DBMS_STATS.SET_PARAM('AUTOSTATS_TARGET', 'ORACLE'). This is the recommended method.
If you disable the schedule job as mentioned in the documentation by calling DBMS_SCHEDULER.DISABLE('GATHER_STATS_JOB') then no statistics at all will be gathered automatically, causing your data dictionary statistics to be become stale over time, which could lead to suboptimal performance of queries on the data dictionary.
All this applies to Oracle 10.2, some of the features mentioned might not be available in Oracle 10.1 (as you haven't mentioned your version of 10g).

Right-click on "My Computer", and choose Manage. Open the "Services and Applications" node on the tree structure on the left, double-click on "Services". Find the service called MAXDB:NSP Right-click on this and change the startup type to "Manual". Click "Apply", then "Ok". Then go to the service labeled as SAPNSP_00 and do the same thing, setting it to manual. That should be it. These services will then be starting only when starting the system via the MMC

How can i automate .pdf output and organize by color/bw?

how can i "automate" multi-page .pdf output to preflight/imposition software workflow, organized by color/bw?
basically what i'm trying to do is create a simple output function from InDesign that allows the user to just export a multi-page .pdf into a hot folder and on through preflight and imposition software. i want to be able to tell the hot folder which pages are color -so it can separate, rename and direct color pages to a color queue and b/w pages to a b/w queue.
i've researched indesign distiller presets and the Acrobat JDF but the JDF isn't really meant for this exact purpose and doesn't help reduce the number of steps currently necessary to manually output/rename/etc.
is there another way that i can embed information into a .pdf that could be read by a hot folder?

You might check out this third-party plug-in for InDesign. It may or may not help you (I've never used it). I just saw it on the new Adobe Exchange (beta in Adobe Labs). Here's the description:
Output Factory automates printing and exporting from Adobe InDesign. Export as single pages with variable file names, output layer versions, update modified links on the fly, preflight InDesign files before output, output to several format at once and much more.
Just select the documents, adjust settings and Output Factory will do the rest for you. Keep working with other programs while Output Factory processes InDesign files in the background. Or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of documents, and the job will be done when you return in the morning.
Key features:
• Output multiple InDesign files automatically
• Output as single pages
• Automate printing and exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats
• Output files to multiple formats at once
• Layer versioning: output layer combinations as single files
• Update modified links automatically
• Variable output file names
• Preflight InDesign files and final PDFs
• Supports books and booklet printing
• Send output files over Internet and locally
• Detailed output history
System Requirements:
- Adobe InDesign CS3-CS6

How to disable automatic launch of WIE in startup configuration with no options to do so?

Thinkpad T400 2764CTO running Windows 7 Home Premium 64
PC only 2 weeks old, very little on it, but getting slower and slower. Finally found the configuration for the startup menu and disabled several things I knew I didn't want at startup. One problem that I can't seem to figure out, is how to disable Windows Internet Explorer from being launched at startup? I have tried disabling every Microsoft option, and it still launches. Is there a specific Lenovo option [that does not obviously have anything to to with WIE] in the startup menu that, if disabled, will stop the WIE browser from being launched? How do I know which options are not safe to disable when attempting to slim down startup configuration for faster/more reliable performance?
Thanks,
Ann

Either I *completely* misread your instructions; that fix is major overkill for what I was trying to do; that fix does not apply to my problem; that fix is only for XP or Vista and not W7; or my PC is already so messed up (despite clean hardware diagnostics, no viruses, no malware, and it is only 2 weeks old), that it performed unexpected and unwanted actions when trying to use the Windows features on/off program control panel options.
Opened Control Panel, went to Programs, and finally found the option on the left for turning Windows features on and off. Unchecked the box for IE8, which required a restart. The restart time was 4-5 times longer than usual, even when launching superfluous programs from the startup menu, since it had to "reconfigure Windows." After restarting, WIE did not automatically launch, and its toolbar icon was gone too. Tried to turn it back on like you said, which also required a restart, which didn't make sense to me, since I expected the browser to launch again following another extra long restart once the box was re-selected. Although, surprisingly, it didn't, so for a moment thought it had somehow worked. Then I realized that my WIE icon was still missing from the toolbar, so there was no way to launch it even if I wanted to. Went back into the Control panel and checked every Windows feature box possible; another extra-long restart; still no toolbar icon for WIE. Had to go into the computer files to find WIE so that I could create a desktop shortcut icon so I could manually launch the browser from that. However, when I clicked on the shortcut, it went into a browser setup mode, as if it was being set up for the first time. Finished setup and tried to go to a webpage, but kept getting a connection error.
Diagnosed it, and it said that the Local Area Connection had no valid IP address. Waited on hold with Mediacom for a hour before being disconnected, trying to find out what the IP address was and where to re-enter it, since unchecking the IE8 box in the Windows features part of the Control Panel, doesn't just temporarily disable the function, but apparently actually deletes the toolbar icon, as well as the IP address. Took several more attempts over several hours to get ahold of Mediacom reset the signal to get the IP address back and get back online. So that really does not seem like a viable solution for trying to save time and resources by removing something from the startup menu, if it just quadruples startup time, deletes WIE toolbar icon and IP address permanently, requires creating a desktop shortcut, and then requires several more hours on phone with ISP for signal reset to get the IP address back. Would have been much faster and done less apparent damage than just going ahead and letting it launch at startup and then just closing it. *sigh*
I know that just having an icon in the toolbar does not mean that that particular program will launch at startup, as I have several others that have toolbar icons that I have been able to uncheck in the startup menu, so I can use the toolbar icons to launch each program manually. There just doesn't seem to be any program active in the startup menu that would be launching the browser, and still concerned about unchecking something necessary in startup that could screw it up even more.
Is there any way to get my toolbar WIE icon back without a full system restore, so that I have less shortcut clutter on my desktop?

How to disable automatic resume on Satellite P100-437

Hello to all.
I bought recently the P100-437. In general I am happy with my laptop but there is an issue that I am trying to solve and unfortunately I can't.
When I put the laptop in Hibernation and close the lid then when I open the lid the laptop automatically resumes windows. This has put me into troubles when I had to pass from some security checks in the airports.
So, I am looking for a way to stop this automatically resuming on lid opening.
It is really important to do that. Do you have any suggestions or the way this can be done??
Regards,
G.

Hello idet
I think it is time to end this long discussion. First of all you can not expect any solution because solution exists just if there is some problem. But in your case there is no problem. With simply words: no problem no solution, just possibility to avoid notebook to switch ON after opening the lid.
I also understand what you want but something like this is definitely not possible. You will not find any setting for that. When you close the lid one small hidden switch is activated and when you open the lid the same switch lose connection and give a signal to laptop to start OS because laptop knows the lid is open.
I can just imagine you bring your notebook to the service and they can cutoff the cable between this switcher and main board.
I have found similar question here when one forum user asked how to disable fingerprint reader on his new Portege 400. Something like this is definitely not possible. Just cutting off physical connection can help. Maybe!!!

How avoid the hyphen in filename when saving ?

How avoid the hyphen that illustrator puts between 2 words in the filename when saving your existing file.
E.g.: open file "Donald Duck.ai", edit it and save it again. Illustrator puts a hyphen between : "Donald-Duck.ai".
Is it possible to avoid this ?

I tried a lot of settings. Set all on "none" in Settings > Output Settings, and saved that settings.
When saving for Web the second time the same .ai, the hyphen remains away.
But saving another .ai, settings are gone and the "Custom" settings are selected again.
I searched the map "Output Settings", to delete "Custom" so "Default" would be selected, but "Custom" is not in that map.
Otherwise I could copy my saved settings into the "Custom" file.
I found this about my issue : http://okapi.sourceforge.net/Release/Filters/Help/illustrator.htm
See "Issues with Illustrator" :
The JPEG preview files have modified filenames. If you choose to generate the ancillary JPEG preview file when extracting, you will notice that filenames with spaces are modified to have dashes instead. For example, the JPEG of the file "My Example.ai" will be "My-Example.ai.jpeg" instead of "My Example.ai.jpg". This is because Illustrator forces filenames without spaces.
