How to set default .PDF file extension for Form Downloads

I am trying to find a way of setting the PDF file extension when I download forms.
I author the forms under a Plus subscription and am then downloading the forms under a basic subscription Collaborator account (diffrent person)
If I don't include .pdf as the file type when downloading a form with a unique name as the Collaborator, it downloads without a file extension.
Remembering to continually add the pdf file extension is a pain so I'm hoping there is away of setting this as a defaulet for my 'collaborator' account ?

Firstly, apologies for multiple posts, I received messages saying my comment hadn't posted and also checked my history before re-submitting.
Okay, the process is
1. Log in as the Author account and I can rename the file without having to set the extension
2. Log in as the Collaboartor account - same PC, browser etc and it doesn't save with a default file extension; HOWEVER, I have done this whilst also being logged in on a diffrent browser as the Author
3 I have just tried logging out as Author and only being in as the collaborator and the form downloaded with a default PDF.
4. I had someone else log in as the collaborator from thei PC and browser whilst I was still signed inunder my author account and again they were unable to save as PDF by default
This has me wondering if there is anything at play when you've got multiple Users?

How to attach a PDF file TO the form so that recipients can access the file as a resource?

Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

How to set default PDF print locations to be same as source file

Is it possible to make the "Save to" location for files created using the Adobe PDF print driver to be the same location as the source file?
When I checked the prefs dialog box in the Adobe PDF print driver, the only setting I found was to make "PDF Output Folder" either the "My Documents" folder or "Prompt for PDF File Name." I wish there were a third option that said "Same as source file."
-Danny

Hi Daniel, Yes, it is possible to do so. Here is the solution: 1) Open the PDF. 2) File->Print 3) Click the Properties button available on Print Dialog Box. 4) Select the Adobe PDF Settings Tab and you will find static text "Adobe PDF Output Folder", Go for "Browse" button available against that and select your preferred location. 5) Now the drop down menu will display all the options i.e. "My Documents" , "Prompt for PDF File Name" and "<Your selected Option>". I hope this will help resolve your issue. Thanks, Atul Agarwal Adobe Systems

How to Set default Workbook as .XLS for Bex 7.0

Dear Experts,
I have a customised default workbook set for Bex 7.0. The Extention of this Workbook is .XLSM
Currently it is not accessible using Excel 2003 due to format issue.
1)Kindly let me know what should be done so that I can open this Workbook in Excel 2003.
2) Suggest a way to set the default extension for Bex 7.0 "Custom" workbook (Not SAP standard, the option is available in Global settings-->Default workbook) to .XLS.
Thank you,
Nandita

Dear Nandita,
The only correction for this situation is documented on these two notes below:
1339061 - BExAnalyzer: opening XL 2007 files in XL 2003 not possible
1267924 - BExAnalyzer: Use XLS as File Format when using Excel 2007
   With Frontend Patch 800 a new property "Use XLS File Format" in "Global
   Settings" dialog is available when using BExAnalyzer with Excel 2007 and
   the SAP Default Workbook is being used.
So, everytime when you created a new workbook, check the flag of "Use XLS File Format" checkbox and save the workbook.
Then you will be able to open with Excel 2003.
Best Regards,
Edward John

How to set default object placement & wrap for drag-and-dropped files

I am working on a document into which I need to drag-and-drop a number of files from the Finder: JPGs, PDFs, and so on. Each time I drag a file into Pages, by default its placement is set as "Floating (doesn't move with text)" and "Object causes wrap" is active.
I would much prefer that the default settings be "inline" and "object does not cause wrap," so my drag-and-dropped images will appear within the text and move with it.
Is there a way to change this default setting?

Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

Setting file extension for flex download

Hi, I have a flex/flash download app that I use on my website, but a lot of people have trouble with it because they rename the file and accidentally remove the .zip from the end of the file name. Is there any way that i can prevent this? I have noticed that when i click to download, the "Save as Type" drop down is blank. It looks like this:
File name: myFileName.zip
Save as type:
I'm hoping that im just missing a param that i can set to .zip so that it will look more like this:
File name: myFileName
Save as type: .zip
Thanks!

Hi,
You can restrict them to save in any other format by making the check.
Simply add listner for the Event.OPEN on the fileReference and inside this check for your allowed extension,if the extension is not what you want then
simply right a line there like:-
fileReference.cancel();
And addtionally you can give any alert that your file should be of that particular extension.

How to combine two PDF files without consolidating form fields

I have two PDF documents with form fields in each. Someone else created the documents. Certain fields were untitled and thus were given names as "undefined" in each document. However, some of those fields contain different information in each document. When i combine the document, these fields mix and incorrect information gets put into certain fields.
For example, there is a blank field in doc A, titled "undefined." In doc B, there is a field with "johnson" titled "undefined." When I combine them, "johnson" appears in the blank field.
Is there a way to combine the documents without combined fields?

Is this the correct window I should see? I hit start and it said it was completed, but nothing seemed to happen.

Set default PDF extension for Downloaded Forms - Collaborator

Is there a way of making .PDF the deafult file extension for downloaded forms?
I'm trying to dteremine if this feature is controlled by the actual subscription type pr the access type.
I have a Basic User Account setup as a Collaborator on a form which I author under a Plus subscription. I would like the default file type to be .PDF for any forms that are saved with their own unique name. However, unless I include the .PDF as part of the file name, the file saves without an extension.
Is there a way that I can set this as a default for the Collaborator because having to remeber to add the file extension is a pain.

Please see my response in your other post of the same question: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343769?tstart=0
