How to I record an Action to Save As that doesn't include a file name??

Hi -
I have an Action that will crop and scale a PDF file then Save As a JPG to a destination folder. The problem is that when I recorded the Action I did so with a file named ABC.PDF and Saved it as ABC.JPG - and now every file saved with this
Action is named ABC.JPG
This makes it impossible to use with a bunch of different files. One file gets overwritten multiple times with the same name. The file name ABC.JPG is "burned" into the Action.
SO - how do I record an Action to Save As without including a file name??
TIA your help on this crazy problem -

PeterK - thanks for the reply. I tried that already - initially actually.
I even tried blanking out the field so I would save a file with NO name. PSD added it's own .jpg and saved it like that. Every file after that over wrote that one too so after using the Action on 6 files I still only had one ".jpg" in the folder.
I was hoping that there was a setting or preference somewhere. SInce this is Windows might it be OS related?

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, we can take use of REST API or Client Object Model to access the SharePoint objects like Form Library.

With the retrieved file, we can then use XmlDocument object to parse it and get the values you want:

How to include the file name as an XML field

Hi,
I'm using a file adapter for process a flat file and convert it into an XML. Does anybody knows how to include the file name into an XML field.
Ex.
I process the file named <b>XXIMN21022007.txt</b> and I need an XML like:
<MT_FILE>
<field1></field1>
<field2></field2>
<field3></field3>
<filename><b>XXIMN21022007.txt</b></filename>
</MT_FILE>
Regards
Gonzalo

Just go for dynamic configuration.
Check the sender file adapter to write the filename in the header (as explained in Michal's blog) and then read that header in some mapping.
U can use that even in simple message mappings.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/03612cdecc6e76e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Your code for the filename tag would be something like:
<i>DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
    FileName);
return conf.get(key);</i>

How do I create an action to save as, but into a different folder than the one I used to create the action?

I am having an issue with my action being created to save under the same folder that my action was created with. For instance, I opened an image, recorded the action, then I went to a different folder to play the action, but it saves to the previous folder. How do I add some way to change the folder I want my pics to save to?

If you want to give Scripting a try paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
// saves jpg into same folder;
// be advised: this overwrites existing jpgs of the same name without prompting.
// 2010, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var thedoc = app.activeDocument;
// getting the name and location;
var docName = thedoc.name;
if (docName.indexOf(".") != -1) {var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1]}
else {var basename = docName};
// getting the location, if unsaved save to desktop;
try {var docPath = thedoc.path}
catch (e) {var docPath = "~/Desktop"};
// jpg options;
var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpegOptions.quality = 12;
jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
//save jpg as a copy:
thedoc.saveAs((new File(docPath+'/'+basename+'.jpg')),jpegOptions,true);
//that’s it; thanks to xbytor;

How can I Hide(not Disable) the Save As and Exit options in the File menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013?

Hi,
I want to hide(not disable) the "Save As" and "Exit" options in the File Menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013.When I make changes in the excelribbon.css file of xlviewer.aspx,all the options under File menu are getting hidden but
I want to hide only these two options while retaining the others.
Kindly suggest me a method to achieve this.
Looking forward to your reply at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sanjana

Hi Sanjana,
To hide the “Save As” and “Exit” options in xlviewer.aspx page in SharePoint, I recommend to use the code below(however it is not recommended):
<style>
div.cui-menusection li.cui-menusection-items:nth-child(2)
display:none !important;
div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_menuJewelSaveAs{
display:none !important;
div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_msJewelSecondary{
display:none !important;
</style>
As “:nth-child()” selector is supported in IE 9 and later versions, please use IE 9 or later versions’ IE browser.

Best regards.

How to use javascript to "save as" using form data in the file name

I want to be able to use a button to "save as" and have it automatically pick up and use certain data from the fields in the file name. without having to manually type in the file name.
Name: john doe
Date: 1-25-13
file name would be (john doe 1-25-13)

You will need two parts for this. A folder level script (which you place in a .js file under the JavaScripts folder of Acrobat), and a script embedded in the file itself (probably attached to a button).
The folder-level script will look like this:
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cPath) {
    app.beginPriv();
    try {
        oDoc.saveAs(cPath);
    } catch(e){
        app.alert("Error During Save");
    app.endPriv();
The doc-level script can look something like this (of course, you might need to adjust the names of the fields used):
var filePath = this.path.replace(this.documentFileName, "");
var newFileName = this.getField("name").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("date").valueAsString + ".pdf";
mySaveAs(this, filePath+newFileName);
You should be aware that several characters are not allowed in the file name, including comma's, forward- and back-slashes, line-breaks and excalmation marks, so if you try to use them the script would fail. It is possible to create a more advanced version of this script that will automatically remove such characters from the file-name, or alert the user if they used them.

Save dialog box in vista types over file name in InDesign

Ever since I have upgraded to vista at work I have been having this issue.
When I save from InDesign (and only InDesign), I open the folder I need to save my file in. I begin to type the name of the company folder that this file needs to be saved in (there are hundreds). I am only able to type the first letter of the company before it begins typing over my file name. This has turned out to be a major annoyance for me and my coworkers because we may have 40 or 50 folders that start with "s" so we can only type in "s" and then have to stop and scroll through and read each folder instead of typing in the name of the folder we need and hitting enter. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to correct it, or is it something we have to live with?
Thanks for your time and help.

How can I remove an icon from my desktop that doesn't want to go?

I was unsuccessful in installing a particular program, so I thought I would just "wipe the slate clean" and try again. Unfortunately, the icon on my desktop doesn't want to go. Every time I try to move it into the TRASH, a note on the screen says, "The icon "iScrobbler" cannot be moved to the trash because it is open".
I've turned the computer off and on again, and I've tried the DELETE button, but the icon remains on my desktop. How can I remove it?

There can be many reasons why a file "doesn't want"
something. But you may be able to replace the file if
you can rename it. Follow the steps here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107426
If that doesn't help, you may need to delete it using
root user privileges. That's a very advanced and
risky method so you should consult with someone who
is experienced with that process. I have done it many
times to delete goofed files that have a mind of
their own.
It didn't work, I'm sorry to say, but thanks for the idea. As to the "root user privileges" method, I wouldn't even consider it. My computer "skills" are definitely not at the level for trying anything that could be described in those terms. Still, there is hope. I found the creator of the program and sent him an e-mail message this morning.
Finally, I'd like to thank you again for your extraordinary performance. Talk about "service above and beyond.." well, that certainly describes you. I somehow feel that if you couldn't...no, no, let's not say that, let's just hope that the program's creator will be able to help. Thanks again for what you have done.

How to "enter" a text field on a website that doesn't have an enter button?

Hi All,
I wanted to know I can press "enter" in a text field on a website that doesn't have an enter button.
I have used the following to help me code (i.e. login, enter values into fields).
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-25396
The above link helps but there isn't a submit on the website I am trying to access or in the code.
What has worked for me, but isn't the best solution, is to simulate a mouse click on the desired field, after text entry, then simulate the keyboard "pressing enter". The problem with this is the mouse click depends on the position of the labview front panel. The code runs in the background and is also a subvi.
thanks in advance,
Jose

Just a question/idea - but can you not just POST the data to the web server directly? Take a look at the HTML of the page and see if you can find the <form action="<THE URL TO POST TO>"> and then find all of the names of the form fields and send them along with the values via the HTTP Client POST VI.
It sounded to me like you are trying to push data into a web server so it shouldn't be necessary to render the page and fill out the fields on the rendered page if you can bypass all that and just submit the data and get the response.
If the form data is sent asynchronously (using AJAX), then you might need to delve a little into the site's javascript to find the POST URL and field names.

Save As Script with predefined path and file name

Hello,
Livecycle version: 8.2.1.4029.1.523496
The aim of the script I have is to save the livecycle form to a predefined directory and using the values of a text field in the file name.
The script is placed in an exit event on a field using javascript as follows:
this.saveAs("/c/forms/Template/Leave Application " + Applicants_Name.rawValue".pdf");
The script does not work.
Can any one please provide some assistance with correcting my script?
Any help will be most appreciated.

This solution is misleading....
Of course this works only if you plan to load Trusted script on each machine you plan to use that form. In other words you can not rollout form to entire organization with out loading trusted function in each targeted machine.
Also there are other limitations... like if for some reason user reinstalls Acrobat x or Reader x or upgrade to latest version they need to remember to redeploy the trusted function to the required location.

Save adds 'copy' to the end of file name

Is there any way to stop Photoshop from adding the 'copy' suffix to files when you save them as additional formats? I'm working accross multiple Photoshop versions on multiple computers and would like to standardize the save functions.
Thanks in advance.
-Brian

Brian...
Actually, it's designed to protect you... or rather protect the original. The save as copy or the 'copy' suffix appears only when you're trying to save a file in a format that doesn't support all the attributes of the original... such as various modes, multi-layers, alpha channels, etc.
I guess it's Photoshop's way of warning you that this file format will lose information that the original .psd format can retain, so beware and also save the original.
What i do is simply delete the copy bit and it works fine.

How to create a task list view in c# that doesn't display the timeline

How can I create a view for a task list using c# that doesn't display the timeline. I want to do this using server side code but I can't seem to find a view property that will hide the timeline. I know how to do it manually through the UI but
I need to automate it.
Caroline

Hi Garoline,
We can set ViewData of the view to empty to achieve your requirement. The following code snippet for your reference:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp2013sps/"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
SPList list = web.Lists["TaskList"];
SPViewCollection allviews = list.Views;
string viewName = "Test View";
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
viewFields.Add("Checkmark");
viewFields.Add("LinkTitle");
viewFields.Add("Due Date");
viewFields.Add("Assigned To");
string myquery = "<where><gt><fieldref name='ID' /><value type='Counter'>0</value></gt></where>";
allviews.Add(viewName, viewFields, myquery, 100, true, false);
SPView view=list.Views[viewName];
view.ViewData = "";
view.Update();

How to launch a folder action on save (rather than move)?

Hello people. I'm working in Yosemite.
I'm trying to create a folder action that keeps an up-to-date backup of MS word documents in a separate folder.
Word for Mac does not allow me to save this backup in a separate folder. I have tried to create a folder action that simply moves any file with the word "Backup" in the title, and this works for files that are dragged into the folder, but not for files that are saved into the folder.
Any suggestions on how to mover forward? I need a sort of "on save then apply filter" action.
Thanks

Record that action do not put a save in it. After you have that action saved with no documents open in photoshop use menu File>Automate>Batch... in the batch dialog point to the action set and action, point source to your folder of images. In desternation use the pull-down menu and choose Save and Close.
