HT204135 Printing email to PDF it will overwrite if other file with same name

When printing an email to PDF (in OS X 10.8.2) it will overwrite if another already printet with the same name, this did not happen in older versions. Why?

Hi,
When you create a snapshot you create a snapshot task which (provided you are using a server-side data store) can be run from a job. To refresh the data, run the snapshot task as part of a job. If you create a job with both the snapshot and the process that uses it, they will automatically connect and will 'stream' the data through the snapshot into the process. You can then choose whether actually to write the snapshot or not (for improved performance efficiency if you want to do straight-through processing) by either enabling or disabling the staged data bucket that the snapshot writes to. The snapshot task being in the job means the data will be refreshed.
For design work in Director, you can refresh the snapshot by re-running it manually from the right-click menu.
Regards,
Mike

Can't Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name - Likely a Mail Error?

Couldn't find this on the forum... Hope I can explain this properly.
When I design something and send a proof I will send a PDF through mail. When the revises come in I used to be able to just overwrite the existing files on my desktop and re-send through mail. But now programs won't let me overwrite files with the same name anymore. Basically the program says "overwrite existing file?" but then say "file is in use. Can't overwrite."
Back in Leopard this used to happen when I would have a mail draft open that used the data of the file I sent or was about to send. I would just have to save the mail message as a draft and the file was "no longer in use" so I could proceed as usual. But now it does this all the time regardless.
Did this make sense? It's kind of hard to explain... But basically now when I want to send a revised file (and this can happen dozen of times in a day) I have to trash the existing file I want to overwrite. Or rename the file, which is confusing for me and my clients.
Any thoughts?

I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
Please send a fix for this Apple.

Save as "web page, complete" .html file disappears when overwriting file with same name

On Mac and PC using various versions of FireFox (including 29.0.1 on Win 7) the following occurs:
"Save Page As" a page with several iFrames in the content. I use "Web page, complete" and name the file.
Close FireFox. The .html file and accompanying folder are saved correctly. Then I open the file in FireFox and make some changes to fields in a form. Then "Save Page As" again and use the same name. It prompts to overwrite the existing file and I click Yes.
Three out of four times the file is no longer there. The folder remains but the .html file is gone. Not in the trash or hidden, just gone.
I know this sounds crazy but I have tested it on about 20 computers (both mac and various windows versions), all with different FF versions and different antivirus. The above scenario happens: always on 1 computer, occasionally (random) on 3, and hasn't been observed yet on the others.
Has anyone encountered this before? Are there any antivirus or malware products that could cause this? Any settings in FF that could? Any thing about this page or frames that could cause it?

I found the solution. Yes, the first time you replace a file it disappears altogether. Just save it again, and it will reappear with the updated date and time code in the directory you chose to save it in. I only wish this were the problem in Firefox v. 30, but that is worse now.

How to auto populate numerous pdf files with same name and address?

I have numerous pdf files where a company's name and address will need to be entered onto each file. Would there be a way to enter this information once, say on an excel file or something, and then have this information auto populate all the correct fields in each and every pdf file I have to fill out. I am a complete rookie with Adobe Acrobat. At any one's convenience please let me know or point me in a direction where I can possibly learn this for myself. If Adobe offers this type of service please let me know which department to contact.
Thanks,
John

If you were an InDesign user, you could layout the document there, and use the Data Merge feature to bring in the names and addresses from Excel. Then create a PDF of the resulting file which could be split into individual PDFs.
There might be a way to do it similarly with Microsoft Word and Mail Merge.

Download and overwrite existing file with same name

Is there a way to tell Safari to erase previous versions of downloads, ie not adding a '-1' or '-n' to the file name, but overwrite an already existing file?

I was going to say "hurrah!" but..... no.
I does ask me for the file name, it does ask me if I want to replace, but it does not replace the file, and just saves it in dummy-1.ppt.
Funny thing: it has the expected behaviour for pdf files, where replacement actually occurs.
Bug report sent.

Copy files with same name. Can't overwrite it.

I need to periodically generate and copy a .txt file into a folder. The name of the files, when generated, is the same. How can I copy it without overwriting previous files that already are in the folder.

(I use question marks 'cause I am not sure I fully understand your problem - if you are generating the names of these files then can't you change the name of the copied one?)

No longer able to print emails to pdf

Mysteriously, my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended will no longer allow me to print emails to pdfs. It used to do so. Now, when I try to print an email to pdf, I receive an error: invalidfont; offendingCommand; xshow.
I used the built in "repair" function and reloading the software, both to no avail.
Anyone know what the glitch might be?

Hey beaswing,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues printing in OS X. The following resource outlines some great troubleshooting steps that may help your issue, including resetting the printing system and re-downloading drivers:

Help! Trying to print emails w/PDF attachments via bluetooth from 8300 to HP OfficeJet8470

Trying to print emails w/PDF attachments via bluetooth from 8300 to HP OfficeJet8470.
My boss shopped for and picked this phone based on the store staff. He wants to be able to have our service tech be able to receive work orders via email, in the form of a pdf attachment, and be able to print using the bluetooth enabled HP Office Jet 8470, hardware that was sold to him in another store with the statements that it would work with his application.
Everything I have seen on this site, and the lack of information elsewhere, leads me to question if we have the correct applications/hardware at all...
If so, I need to be able to explain clearly to my boss any options that we have, and why or why not it won't work.
Any ideas at all? Thanks in advance~    Reagan

Your BlackBerry alone won't connect to a Bluetooth printer. Whoever told him that it would should be questioned.
However, there is an application called BeamSuite, that offers a printing solution specifically for PDF documens that you should explore...
Print Documents to a Bluetooth Enabled Printer
http://www.slgmobile.com/beamsuite.html
BeamSuite is much more than a document viewer though. You can also print your documents directly from your BlackBerry to any Bluetooth enabled printer. Simply pair your BlackBerry device with the printer and print your documents.
If your printer is not Bluetooth enabled, you can still print your documents to it by connecting a Bluetooth printer adapter to your printer that connects to the printer’s USB port. A key differentiator of our solution is that it allows you to easily and transparently print to over 1500 compatible printers from virtually any BlackBerry device, not just the latest and the most powerful BlackBerry.

How do I convert emails to PDF from Outlook to make a file on the PC?

how do I convert emails to PDF from Outlook to make a file on the PC

It is always tough for anyone when we need to save our emails into one file for future reference. You could either do it manually or can use a simple tool to Convert all your messages into one pdf file . This Single pdf file can be used if we need to read any past email. you can easily convert oulook to pdf in no time. If you are converting several email messages, you can either save them as separate files with initial layout fully intact or combine them into one big PDF document.

How to save PDF file with predefined name?

Hi,
I am new in LiveCycle Designer. I have a requirement to save a PDF file with predefined file name. When user clicks a "Save as PDF" button, the fillable form is saved with the name from the form fields (e.g. FormID_UserID_Timesstamp...)
I added a button (btnSavePDF) to the form (Control Type=Regular). Then I added an action with the Condition:"When button is clicked" and the Result: "Save the form". I got the JavaScripts it genreated:
CoverPageForm.FormPage.btnSavePDF::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
When I tested it in Adobe Acorbat XI, I have option to save it as .pdf or other file formats. My questions is how can I save it with the predefined file name as a .pdf file, instead user has option to change the file name or change the file format? Can app.execMemuItem() method take other parameters?
Thanks
Sam

You can't do it with app.execMenuItem. You can use the doc.saveAs method, but it has to be executed in a privileged context. For your application this means a folder-level JavaScript file that would have to be installed on each user's machine or with code in a certified PDF that the users chooses to trust to allow for privileged JavaScript execution.
More information on the saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
and some sample code relevant to the folder-level JavaScript option: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.168.html
All of the sample code shown is for a regular PDF, so you'll have to adjust slightly for using with an XFA.

All that does is delete the iCloud account on your phone, nothing more.

Not unless you go out of your way to erase the disk, first.
However, nothing is foolproof and the probability of something going wrong during the reinstall is inversely proportional to the number of backups you have.

PDF Size will increase in size dramatically with every submit.

I have a PDF Form desinged using Adobe LiveCycle Desinger ES2.
It has a submit button which will submit the form to the server (IIS and ASP.NET) using this javascript command:
event.target.submitForm( {cURL: "http://server/ASPNETWebPage.ASPX", aPackets:["datasets","pdf"], cSubmitAs: "XDP"});
On the server, from ASP.NET, I use the following code to extract the submitted "chunk" element and convert it from Base64 to Binary PDF File:
            fs = New System.IO.FileStream(mFormFileNameFolder, IO.FileMode.Create)
            bw = New System.IO.BinaryWriter(fs)
            ' Get chunk element form the submitted XML
            Dim srChunk As New StringReader(mXML.GetElementsByTagName("chunk")(0).InnerXml)
            Do While True
                Dim theChunkLine As String
                theChunkLine = srChunk.ReadLine
                If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(theChunkLine) Then
                    theReadBytes = theChunkLine.Length
                Else
                    theReadBytes = 0
                    Exit Do
                End If
                Dim theBase64Length = (theReadBytes * 3 / 4)
                Dim buffer() As Byte
                buffer = Convert.FromBase64String(theChunkLine)
                bw.Write(buffer)
            Loop
            bw.Close()
            bw = Nothing
            fs.Close()
            fs = Nothing
The above code is working fine, and PDF is generted successfully.
I have one problem.
With every submit, the generated PDF Size will increase dramatically. I reported this to Adobe Support, and they cofirmed that this is by desing and that with every submit, the previous PDF State is saved, and the new state is added. That is why I get huge PDF File.
I was told that the only way to solve this problem is to submit the form as PDF ONLY, and after I save the PDF File on a file system, I then must use Adobe Service/Process "exportData" to extract the XML Data from the PDF.
I think this is really big change to me. I was hoping that there is a way to indentify the latest PDF State from the chunk element.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Tarek.

Thanks a lot C. Myers,
You explanation helped me understand what is happening.
I have been following the same method for the past 4 years, and I was hit by this problem (OutOfMemoryException) only when some users started using image size more than 500KB. Then, I decided to report this problem.
I was able to rewrite the code to convert from Base64 to binary using buffering:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1662571.aspx/1?URGENT+Exception+OutOfMemoryException+thrown+when+w hen+converting+to+String+
So far, I am not getting OutOfMemoryExceptions, but the PDF Size will continue to grow with every submit. However, if the all the images size is less than 50KB, the increase is not significant.
Please allow me to ask this question:
Is there a way to change the above code so that I can extract only the last version of the submitted PDF from the Data Stream "chunk" element ?
Sooner or later, some one will notice that such PDF sizes are not logical. Even when the PDF does not have images, I have noticed in the past, some PDF Sizes (for Staff Profile Data Collection Form) are something like 15MB !!! I was not able to figure out why. But now I understand. I think the user must have submitted the form for saving many times.
Now, things are OK. But, I will post back if this problem will fire back.
Tarek.

Picture Library : upload image with same name overwrite the image in thumbmail or WebVersion view but not the actual image link points to the old image

Hello,
I am facing a wired issue with Picture Libraries in SharePoint.
We created a custom field and added it to UserInfo list, the column based on custom field lets user upload their personal images to a Picture Library with the name <User ID>.<Image Extension> e.g. 1.jpg where UserID is internal Listitem ID of the UserInfo list and set its URL to the field value which we use to display the image on our custom user profile and some other WebParts.
If the user uploads a different image, it will overwrite the existing one it keeping the same name.
The field worked perfectly with sites using widows Based authentication, but as we move the field to sites with form based authentication we find that the field is able to upload the image properly first time but on each successive upload, although a new image gets uploaded with the name userid.imagextension and is shown in the allitems.aspx page in the thumbnail view and in the picture preview on the dispform.aspx page, but the link next to the name field and the image shown on clicking the preview points to the old image.
To put it other way
https://<Web URL>/Picture%20Library/_w/Upload_jpg.jpg
https://<Web Url>/Picture%20Library/_t/Upload_jpg.jpg
Would show the updated image
but the actual URL
https://<Web Url>/Picture%20Library/Upload.jpg
points to the old image
what’s even more strange is that even after deleting the image the url still shows the old image at
https://<Web Url>/Picture%20Library/Upload.jpg
I confirmed the same by actually repeating the same exercise on a picture Library in the User Interface
Uploading an image say upload.jpeg in the picture library using SharePoint interface.
Then uploading a different jpeg image keeping the same name upload.jpeg again in the picture library.
In allitems.aspx thumbnail view and on dispform.aspx page preview filed image now show the newly uploaded image but when you click the preview image or click the link in the name field value it takes you back to the old image.
I have seen this issue on environment where we have enabled form based authentication and the issue is not seen on another server where we have wss with windows based authentication.
Has anyone noticed such behavior and is there any workaround to that!
Thanks & Regards
Saurabh Rustagi

All,
I had the same issue.
In my case, Blob Cache was enabled for the web application in which the image issue was occuring.
I cleared blob cache, and after doing a hard refresh of my browser, the correct image was then displayed.
To clear blob cache, do the following:
Navigate to:
http://yourwebapp:port/yoursite/_layouts/objectcachesettings.aspx
Select: "Object Cache Flush" and "Force all servers in the farm to flush their object cache" check boxes
Click the OK button
Hope this helps.
