How to find PDF files that have other documents bundeled within them?

Hello guys
I need help with the following: we have a huge number of PDF files that have other documents imbedded (bundled, attached) in them. If such a document is open in Acrobat, bundled files show up as attachments on the left. Some of those attachements are .mdi files. This is Microsoft Document Images files. Is there a way to flag PDF's that have those .mdi files in them? I need to find them and convert to PDF. If I need to be more descriptive please ask, and thank you in advance for help.

Preflight is a complex plugin, it's hard to explain how to use it in one forum post. You need to read the documentation carefully.
There's no pre-built profile for what you want, so you would first create a new Custom Check that compares the MIME type string of embedded files to what you're searching for (not the file extension but the full MIME identifier, which for Office files is a very long string). You would then place that new Custom Check into a new Profile, identifying it as an error condition. Once you've saved the Profile you can run it against a number of files and specify actions to be taken for pass and fail conditions, such as changing the filename or moving to a subfolder.

  • How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

    How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

    THanks for your reply.
    Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
    you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
    my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
    converts it into docx, my choice.  I can read it there and when I try to
    copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
    like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
    save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
    to see it.    I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
    give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing.  What
    I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit.  People send me
    things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
    in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
    doesnt allow me to copy the text.  If it is in image form, I cannot work on
    it.  It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
    I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program.  Its just double the work and
    ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
    Sorry  if I am a bit dumb with informatics.  But I simply could not find
    any way whatever to  copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
    format that would enable me to edit it.
    Kindest regards,

  • How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

    How do I access files that have been recovered (after a Mavericks problem) with the .cca file extension

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

  • How to find the file that delete from time capsule?

    How to find the file that delete from time capsule?

    I mean I saved JPEG file in Time capsule and unfortunately delete the file. Can I get it back
    IF.... .no other backups have occured since you deleted the file, you might be able to retrieve it using an application like Disk Warrior. It's about $100 as I recall, and there are no guarantees that it will work.
    DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac  Disk Repair, Mac Directory ...
    Any of the free or low priced utilities that you might see or try will not be able to retrieve a deleted file from a Time Capsule.
    If any backups have occured since you deleted the file, the deleted file has almost certainly been overwritten. No way to retrieve it in that case.

  • How to find all photos that have NO faces, as opposed to UNNAMED faces?

    I find that iPhoto often misses faces entirely, especially if the face is wearing sunglasses or a hat or both.  Sometimes it is rather inexplicable that it has missed a face, as the face seems obvious.
    If you use the smart album method to find all "unnamed" faces, the photos have at least one unnamed face identified.  You can then add any missed faces to those photos.
    But what about photos in which iPhoto has failed to identify the existence of even one face?  Or for that matter, if I want to see only pictures of landscapes or objects that have no people?  Does anyone have a method for finding all photos that have no faces in them at all?
    For me, the idea is to find all unidentified faces and add them.  But as I pointed out above, there may be other uses for this.
    Any ideas, anyone?
    Thanks

    Awesome !!! Thank you very much. I did not realize you could use JavaScript to code against iTunes ...
    I don't know if you have written any of these yourself, but do you know how to maybe create a smart playlist with this information via script? If not, no big deal. At least I know have something which I can use, I will just have to run it every so often.
    Thanks again for pointing me to that site!

  • I cannot find PDF files that I uploaded to iCloud from my iPad to access on my PC

    When I log into iCloud, I do not see iWork or files to access. I backed up PDF files to iCloud but cannot locate them when I log into www.iCloud.com on my PC. Any thoughts on why this is happening and how this problem can be solved?

    I use the free DROPBOX application for this. 
    (1) install dropbox on all machines you are using, including iPad, Mac, PC.
    (2) Place all PDFs in Dropbox (it will sync automatically).
    (3) On the iPad, open the dropbox application, and locate the PDF you are interested in, and open it.
    (4) On the iPad, then choose the "share" button at the top of the screen.
    (5) One of the options is to "open in another application."
    (6) Choose to open the PDF in iBooks for easy reading.
    On the PC and Mac, the PDF is simply opened like any regular PDF file.

  • How to - delete physical files that have been removed from library

    Hello,
    I have recently purged my iTunes library from unwanted music tracks. However, most of those tracks were located in various folders on my harddisk, thus not managed by iTunes (not being on the "My Music\Itunes" folder).
    I would now like to somehow delete those files that are still on my harddisk. I've searched if there's a script around, but with no luck. What I'd like to do is to have a script that parses my library xml file, and that compares it with the files still present on the harddisk but not listed in iTunes, so that it either generates a list of files to delete, or automatically deletes those files.
    Once this will be done, I plan to move all my remaining music to a new HDD, but before doing that I will need to clean the mess.
    Thanks in advance for your hints!
    Max
    P.S. : I thought of making a new iTunes lib, to import all, and then to somehow run a diff program to remove duplicate items. Does that makes sense ?

    Don't know of any script to do this.
    If the songs are not in iTunes (you deleted them) and they are not in the iTunes music folder, you will need to search & delete them yourself.
    You could do a Windows search the HD for all music and sort by location (In Folder), then delete everything not in the iTunes music folder.
    Or move everything not in the iTunes folder to a folder on the desktop, then sort it out from there.

  • How do I recover files that have been deleted but were not in trash

    I was just going through my files and deleting old ones but once I had emptied the trash a number of other files are now gone.
    These files were not selected and were not even in the trash folder, but they are still gone.
    Any idea on how this happens and if its possible to recover them? They were not overly important but its still an inconvenience. And no they were not backed up. All constructive suggestions welcome. Cheers

    Recover them from your Time Machine backup.  If you don't have a Time Machine backup then now is a good time to create one.  You could lose files or the entire disk at any time.  Your data is much more valuable than the $75 hard drive you will need for a Time Machine backup.

  • Consolidating itunes media library-how to shorten file names or how to find the file that is creating the problem?

    Hi I've switched to Mac for six months now, so is still new to mac and I am using my old 1TB windows PC side by side for my music collection. Now I have seen the posts already in apple community about consolidating itunes music library but could not get the proper way of doing it. My system and itunes is also saying 'file name is too long' and it stops but the questin is how do I know which file is creating the problem and how do I shorten it?
    If anybody can answer I'll be obliged to him/her, because its my 6/7 years of music collection stuck in an old pc. Thanks in advance.

    By 'it stops' I meant the consolidation process in itunes stops.

  • How to find JDialog(s) that have JFrame owner

    I have an application with a single JFrame container, holding a JPanel which represents one functional component in the app suite. When I get a RuntimeException, I want to close the current JPanel and return the application to a login prompt. That much I can handle.
    I call frame.removeAll() to remove all the components in the frame. However, in a situation where a dialog is displayed, which may in turn launch another dialog, removeAll() does not dismiss or dispose any JDialogs which have this frame as the owner, or are descendants of this frame..
    Is there a way to do this? Also, (of course) the second -nth dialog would have the n-1 dialog as its owner.
    I thought of finding the focus, getting its parent that is a JDialog, and calling dispose, until I get to the JFrame. However, SwingUtilities.findFocusOwner(frame) returns null on the 1st call.

    Calling frame.removeAll() only removes the components contained within it, which in this case are the components that were added to its rootpane. It will not dispose of your dialogs, even if the frame is the "parent" to those dialogs. This is because those dialogs only contain a reference to the parent (frame, in this case), but the frame itself doesn't know that those dialogs are holding references to it.
    The solution here is to explicitly dispose of those dialogs next to the code where you call frame.removeAll(), meaning that you should also keep references to those dialog objects so that you can make calls to dispose of them.
    Or, if you want a custom removeAll() method on frame to dispose of those dialogs, then make an object which: 1) extends from JFrame, 2) holds references to those dialogs, and 3) overrides the removeAll() method to call super.removeAll() and then makes calls to dispose of those dialogs.
