I can't permanently close documents in Preview.

Hi! I'm having some troubles with Preview on Mac OSX Lion. I usually open a lot of PDFs and Pictures and naturally opened with Preview... But with the addition of Resume the pictures do show up again
BUT its not that you just close the document and its gone...
When I show the App Exposé and right click on the icon, it shows dozens of documents I have previously opened, still hidden and open in Preview!
Any Help on this??
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem as originally described in this post.  I've tried what is suggested but upon opening preview and going into expose, 10 or so photos are displayed in the lower half of the screen.  Can anyone please advise how to close them permanently?  If I click on a photo, it opens in a large window and if I click close then go into expose, it's still shown in the lower half of the expose screen.  Please help.
Thanks
Adam

  • How to close documents in Preview?

    I can't close anything in Preview. When I got to "Show All Windows" it show all kinds of things I've recently opened.
    I go to each one and File > Window, and File > Close Selected Image but neither works. The window displaying the file disappears, but the file still shows up when I click and hold the Preview icon in my dock. I've tried the keystrokes (Command + W and Shift + Command + W), too. This just closes the windows, but nothing will keep them from showing up as open.
    I don't see any preferences to stop this. Surely I can avoid showcasing everything I've been opening to anybody who might use my computer, right? SURELY.

    One possibility:
    Where are these windows appearing? If they are appearing along the bottom of the screen in Show all windows, they are not open but are being shown as your history of recent items. A sort of heavy-handed way to eliminate this display of recent items is to set "Number of recent applictions", "Applications", to zero in System Preferences, General.

  • Can't close documents in Preview or TextEdit

    I have a simple problem which I just cannot find any discussion of how to fix.  In both TextEdit and Preview (classic culprits on Lion), I have documents I can't close. 
    When I click the close button it waits for a few seconds then does nothing.  Same for menu commands.  If I quit and reopen, the app opens with those windows.  If I restart, the app still has those windows.  If I "Duplicate" a file, not only can I then not close that file either, but I also can't "Save" the file (to give it it's own name).
    I have several document open now in Preview which are basically permanent fixtures of the app.
    I imagine the version store is corrupt.  Can I delete it?  where is it?

    Is it save to hunt down the versions of those files and delete those?  Or is there only one, huge versions file for the whole drive?
    It is a critical operation - I would only attempt it if you do not know your System well. I suspect one of the Frameworks in /Library/Frameworks might be corrupt, that can happen, if you install some app that installs its own Frameworks, and accidentally installs an incompatible version. So what you would have to do is to compare the backup of the /Library/Frameworks folder with your current Frameworks and try to spot a difference and then to restore that different file. You need to quit all Applications while you do that, and still you would risk to cut the branch  that you are sitting on - this operation is best be done from a second machine, so as not to change the system while it is running. It would be safer to reinstall Lion by booting into the recovery HD.
    Before you take any drastic measures, perhaps another test: Do you have a second account on your system? Then it would be a good idea to check if "Preview" and "Textedit" show the same buggy behaviour when started from another account. If they work fine, then the problem must be caused by something in your user library and not in the system library.
    Also you could try to boot into "Safe Mode". This will turn off start up items and third party extensions, that may cause problems.
    If the problem occurs in all these tests, then I would opt for a reinstall.

  • Just wondering if I'm looking for something that doesn't exist - can firefox automatically close the "print-preview" window after printing?

    I'm using the addon in my firefox toolbar to print preview website data then append to a pdf file. Sometimes I am distracted, then can't remember if I've gone through the process and printed/appended the page to the file. It would be helpful if there was a way that the print preview window would close after printing thereby confirming that the process has completed. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm running different versions of firefox on different computers. I'm aware of the upgrade procedures. Same issue in later versions as well.
    The add-on is called "Print Preview Button 0.5" by sindre-wimberger which I obtained through the "Search Mozilla Support"
    However, that's not really relevant - to bring this back to basics the same situation occurs if you do <File> <Print Preview> then print the document. The print preview screen remains until manually closed. Perhaps there is a setting in "about:config"? Does anyone know if this is so? There is an entry "print.whileinprintpreview" but not sure what setting does here. Suspect if set to "False" then you probably wouldn't be able to print from "Print Preview" screen.
    Thanks.

  • Can I permanently close the 'quick help' window?

    It's always open at the top of the inspector column on the left side of the screen. It doesn't respond to saved screensets. It takes up too much space and causes the track inspector to cover up the channel strip below. It's annoying. What's the fix?
    Thanks

    You can free up more space by configuring the toolbar and hiding things you don't use (or memorized the shortcut keys). Control+click the toolbar to configure. Also, take a look under the Veiw Menu.

  • How can I modify a document when it opens in Preview?

    How can I modify a document when it opens in Preview

    when in preview, go to the "Tools" area, you will get a slew of things you can do with your documents in Preview.
    I  usually hit ctrl+cmd+O
    that's the letter "oh" not the number "zero"
    the tools sort of appear and then I can choose what I want to do.

  • Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

    Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
    Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
    Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

    Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
    PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

  • How to close a frozen warning: I am unable to close the "charicter boarders aren't supported and were removed" warning on my pages. Untill warning is closed I can not save my document. How can I get my document saved?

    I have an unsaved document open in pages but can not save it because the, "charicter boarders aren't supported and were removed" warning is open and I can not close the warning. How can i get the warning to close so I can save my document? Can I save the document without closing the warning?

    Probably not, but as you will have been unable to make any changes to the document with that warning window open, you're not going to lose anything by quitting (or force quitting) without saving. You'll still have the original document you were trying to import.
    I would suggest attempting to open the document in one of the open source Office applications, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, or NeoOffice, each available for download from the linked sites. Once open there, remove the attributes that are causing the warning, save the file (as an MS Word document), then try opening that version in Pages.

  • Can't copy text in a preview-document opened in Safari.

    Since the last upgrade of safari (I think) I can't copy text in a preview document opened in Safari. Can I adjust anything in the preferences or is there any other solution to get the normal behaviour back?

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
    ☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.

  • How can we get the document id at event close?

    Hi All!
    I wanted to perform some actions at document close on the document file that has been saved to disk. To make sure that I am perfoming these actions on the right document, in case the user does a close all if multiple documents are open, I thought of getting the document id of the document which is closing. But I am having problems getting the document id from the descriptor I get at the close event call back function. How can I get the document id from this descriptor?
    Pls guide.
    Thanks!

    Hi Sandy,
    This should be no different than any other form of completing it. You can bind the Actual Agent back to your WF, and you could also bind SY-UZEIT if you need have the completion time in a WF container element.
    If you are talking about reading this afterwards, the agent is in SWWWIHEAD-WI_AAGENT.
    Hope that helps,
    Mike
