Hyperlink adds "-1" to uploaded pdf (or other) file.  Way around this?

When I insert a pdf (or other) file onto an iWeb page which creates an image of itself, then select it and set it to hyperlink to the pdf file, when I publish it to .Mac it appends a "-1" to the end of the file name before the ".pdf". Is there any way to have the file name be the same name as the original without this appended "-1" being added as it is uploaded to the iDisk storage for my iWeb site?

I think it goes like this. You drop in the .pdf, let's say it's leopardsecrets.pdf. iWeb places it as an image that will be rendered when you publish the site. iWeb also takes the file and places it inside the Domain.sites file/folder. Next, you want to create an link to the downloadable leopardsecrets.pdf. When you create a file link, you're telling iWeb you want to include that file when you publish so that people can download it from your site. iWeb goes to place this file in your Domain.sites folder and sees that it's already there! Since it won't overwrite the first one you included (and won't complain), it renames the second one leopardsecrets-1.pdf. This is generally how OSX handles file naming conflicts when the conflict may not be viewable by the user.
For example, control-click the apple in the menu above and choose "Save Image to '<your download folder>' " Then, repeat that step. When you go to your download folder, you will see two files, 1.gif and 1-1.gif.
One way to solve the problem would be to name the first file ls.pdf and leave leopardsecrets.pdf as the name of your downloadable file, but as James said, if these are large files, then you're essentially uploading two copies of it.
Here's a workaround you can try. Open the pdf in Preview, choose File -> Print, and select to only print Page 1. Don't print it. Instead, you'll click Preview and you should see just your page one. Now you can Save As... and save it as a pdf (with the short name as suggested) or even as a .jpg or .png. Since this is full size and iWeb is going to re-render it as a .png anyway when you resize, just save as .pdf, use IT as the link graphic, and that might just be what you're looking for.

  • Uploading pdf (and other) files on my iPod

    Dear all,
    I am wondering how I can upload/load pdf files on my iPod. I would like to read a book while I am listening to my music and I would like to see if there's a way for me to upload a pdf file on my iPod. Moreover, do I need an Adobe or a Preview to see the pdf files or there's a built-in application that would allow me to see pdfs? Similarly, I would like to know how I could upload other files (docs, etc.) on my iPod.
    Appreciatively,
    Ron

    there are several apps to do this. you should search the app store about this. I personally use Air Sharing. You can also use your mobileme account and use the iDisk app provided by Apple.

    If I buy Pages, will I be able I upload pdf and word files to websites?

    Pages can export to PDF and .doc formats and send those via email, but it has no "upload" function.  That is something you normally do with a browser or an ftp app.

  • How to Upload pdf or ppt files from desktop to some learning object

  • Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

    In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

    I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
    The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
    The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab.  It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections.  Does anyone know their way around this obstacle?  Thanks!

    Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
    But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
    Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
    And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

  • Dreamweaver adds animate project as object.. any way around this?

    I'd like to have my project added as normal div instead of a its default behaviour which is to add the project as an object.
    Does dreamweaver support this?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Yes, I'm inserting the OAM file generated by Edge Animate by going the through the 'Select Insert > Media > Edge Animate Composition' options available in Dreamweaver.
    In code view you can see that the what's inserted is an <object> tag which contains the animation. An object tag makes sense for a plugin like Flash, but much less so for an animation that can naturally run in the pages DOM. Instead of calling up a whole new html document it would be great to see everything running inside a regular div.
    I'm assuming this isn't an option?

  • Add image in uploaded pdf file and then save it specific location using C#

    I need to upload a pdf file and then add image in that file and then save it in specific location. This process should be in C# . Is it feasible or not in Acrobat XI Pro ?

  • Can I create a template PDF (or other file) in InDesign, that my client can update images in?

    I've designed a brochure for a client, and they would like to know if I can make a version where they will be able to swap out the images (and text) to update it for future projects.
    This is perfectly fine by me, as I am taking on other clients and may not be able to do this for them in the future. I also know how to create the text in this way, as I can set up each header and body as a separate "form" they can fill in with Reader and save... however, I don't know how to make it possible for them to edit/replace the images without them having something like Acrobat.
    Is it possible to create an interactive frame they can "upload" an image to and then save the PDF? They are a small business, so I'd rather not tell them they have to buy additional software. I'd also like to make it as easy for them as possible.
    I am also aware, however, that even if an image can be embedded, a PDF may not be able to resize an image to fit within such a frame. I can, however, write an exe that will resize the images for them if needed. I just don't know how to get them into the PDF...
    A template like this would probably be simple in HTML, but unfortunately the design of the brochure is beyond my ability to reproduce in Dreamweaver, and I also assume printing an HTML document would be a nightmare for the print shop lol.
    Thank you for any help or answers, they are much appriciated

    You can use the same forms method for images, but it gives you no control over postioning in the frame or scaling/cropping.
    The bottom line here really is that this kind of editing should be done in ID, and if they want to do it they probably should invest in a license, even if it's just a month-to-month subscription when they need it.

  • Why do multiple Download windows pop up when I download a PDF or other file?

    Everytime I try to download a file (PDF, JPG, DOC) that was attached to an email (I am using Outlook WebMail) the document will download fine HOWEVER eight (8!!!) or more Download windows pop up as if I tried to download that file eight (or more) times.
    So then I have to "X" out of each window after downloading one file. It is the same file listed on each popup window.
    Since this is a new problem I tried shutting down the computer and restart but not successful.
    Firefox 26.0
    Any help...PLEASE!?!?!?

    THANKS Waka_Flocka_Flame!!!
    (I pressed the "Problem Solved" button however it did not give me a chance to type anything so I found the thread and pressed "Reply")
    Anyhoo...I went to Safe Mode and Firefox worked great. Went back to regular mode and again multiple Download windows when trying to download a file.
    I then did as you suggested and poked around in the Add Ons and there was something called Download Manager Tweak that was upgraded last week and that was when the problems started. I got rid of it and my Downloads are working great.
    THANKS AGAIN!!!

  • How to add page count of PDF to the file name?

    I need help with an applescript that can look at a pdf, determine the page count in file and then add that value to the end of the file name in front of the .pdf
    ex.
    original name "map with pages4c.pdf"
    renamed "map with pages4c_48.pdf"
    Any help would be appreciated or suggestions on how this could be done.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hello
    That's quite simple.
    Just replace this chunk of code -
    tell application "Finder"
    set n to f's name
    set f's name to (n's text 1 thru -5) & "_" & p & ".pdf"
    end tell
    with -
    if 10 > p then set p to "0" & p
    tell application "Finder"
    set n to f's name
    set f's name to (n's text 1 thru -5) & "_" & p & ".pdf"
    end tell
    By the way, if there are 10000 files in directory tree, I'm afraid Finder is too slow to get files list. In order to avoid Apple Events timeout error, at least, replace this line -
    tell o to run
    with -
    with timeout of 3600 seconds
    tell o to run
    end timeout
    Or try the following script, which employs find(1) instead of Finder to get files list.
    All the best,
