Ibooks changes name of pdf file

When I open a pdf file in ibooks it sometimes changes the name to a bunch of characters nothing like the name of the pdf file. how do I fix this? 

Hi,
Saving the PDF to a set name is considered a security concern by Adobe. In order to achieve it you would need a trusted function, inside a JavaScript file. This .js file would be in a set folder on EVERYONE'S computer. This makes it difficult to deploy and maintain.
See a thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799.
Hope that helps,
Niall

  • Name the PDF file with a field name

    Hi,
    I'm new to ES2 and Form creation in LiveCycle, my knowledge in scripts is very less or none i can say, if any one out there could help me out with this i'd be greateful.
    I have created a fillable PDF Form using LivecCycle ES2 and would like to know how to name the PDF file with a field value from the form when " save form " or " submit " button are clicked.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mithun.M.I

    You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
    You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
    Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)

  • Iwork page beta changes format in pdf file

    i am working in iCloud page beta, informal business card, after selecting print, I choose pdf format, the layout changes in the pdf file. how should i correct this

    With the document open choose the spanner > Print.
    With the document close, control click > Print Document.
    Both ways should create a useable pdf to print directly from your browser.

  • How do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

    how do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

    Adobe Fill & Sign does not yet have a feature to rotate PDF pages but there are several websites that will rotate a PDF for free and then you can bring that PDF with correct orientation into Fill & Sign to fill out.  Any of the top hits when you google "rotate PDF free" will work.
    Thanks,

  • TS1702 iBooks won't load PDF files any more on my Ipad2. Anybody seen this one before?

    Hello All,
    iBooks won't load PDF files any more.
    I have a lot of PDF files so I thought I reached a maximum number of files or space so I deleted a lot of old files but this did not help.
    I rebooted, synced, updated, restarted, etc. - everything that I can think of and I still have the same problem.
    I don't remembered the last file that I loaded into iBooks, as I usually put them into collections.
    I can still load PDF files into other applications like PDF Reader, but I prefer to have them all in iBooks.
    Anybody seen this one before?
    I have 64GB iPad2 and I have over 14GB free space.

    There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks. It's not clear what the issue is, and it is not universal, but tend to effect users storing large numbers of PDFs in iBooks. Possible it has some thing to dowith capacity of the app, or specific characteristics of some of the PDFs.
    You might have a look at the "More Like This" list to the left of this page.

  • Why do changes to a .pdf file not show up in iBooks?

    I have a number of important and useful documents in .pdf format that are stored in iBooks on my iPad.  I added a new document to the iTunes library and then synced the iPad.  Voila!  The new document showed up in the PDFs section of the iBooks collections.  Then, I recognized that I needed to update some information in the document, so I opened the original (on my Mac) in Adobe Acrobat and added a few comments using the Typewriter tool.  I then reimported it to the library in iTunes, then synced the iPad again.  My added material was not in the document as it appeared in iBooks.  OK, I deleted it from iTunes, synced the iPad again and the file was gone from iBooks, as I intended.  I then reimported the new file with the added material into the iTunes library and synced again.  The file still did not show my added material.  I can look at the file in iTunes, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, even Preview and the file looks fine.  I even changed the file name.  The only place it does not look right is in iBooks.  I can print it in any of the aforementioned applications and it looks fine.  I suppose I could print it, scan it and then import it to iTunes yet again, but that seems to be kind of a stupid workaround.
    I have done everything I can possibly think of.  I have deleted the file from iBooks on the iPad, then deleted the file from iTunes, restarted, burrowed into the iTunes Library file (Users->myname->Music->iTunes->iTunes Music->Books->filename) and deleted the file directly from there and then emptied the Trash, restarted the iPad after deleting the file from iBooks, tried adding the information as a text box in Acrobat (instead of using the Typewriter), I've shaken my fist repeatedly, burned some white sage, even considered throwing my iPad across the room.
    In desperation, I finally printed and scanned the page I needed, then opened the original file in Acrobat, added the new page and deleted the old one.  Then, I reimported the file into iTunes and synced the iPad.  Now I have what I need with the same file name as before.  It's actually the same file, just modified by swapping pages.  But, why in the **** can I not just add what I want to that particular page using Acrobat and then reimport that?
    I am not a newbie.  I still have my old Mac Plus out in the garage.  I use Acrobat, Photoshop, Bridge and InDesign on a regular basis, so I am no stranger to Adobe products.  Am I missing something?  Something unbelievably simple?
    (OK, deep, cleansing yoga breath...)
    Even though I found a workaround, I'd still like to know why I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

    Thanks, Demo, I'll give that a shot. On the other hand, I really don't want to have some files in iBooks and other ones in Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader will let me organize them in folders, it might be a great solution.
    However, there's no ".pdf management" involved here. It's simply "Read the #%€\#^% .pdf file I gave you" and there is nothing to "manage". Whatever opinions Apple has about Adobe, .pdf is a fact of life and should not require any handstands and backsprings just to read a file. (Are you listening, Apple?) I refinanced my home with .pdf files; print it, sign it, scan it, e-mail it back. (OK, calm down, it'll be all right... Sigh...)
    Whatever the result, I'll report back.
    Thanks again.

  • How to change the file name of pdf file in html page?

    Hi,
    Actually my requirement is to upload 50 PDF files containing javascript in each file into flex page with the help of one html page.
    i did the the javascript part by using batch processing.
    now i want to call those pdf files one after another without changing the file name in html page
    the code written in html page is
    <html>
        <body>
            <object id="PDFObj"
                    data="http:\\localhost\pdf\20090807 - Batch 630.pdf"
                    type="application/pdf"
                    width="100%"
                    height="100%">
            </object>
            </body>
    </html>
    So every time i have to change that file name to acess another file.
    Is there is any other way to sort this problem????
    Plz anyone help me to sort out this problem with some code or some example.

    I once had a similar task for creating a webpage that I only use on my computer--a webpage that accesses PDF's and SWF's font previews from a list of fonts as "a href's".  What you must do is utilize the power of the command line, whether on a Mac on a PC or on Linux, Linux being the most powerful (although Mac IS Unix).  You must utilize variables, variable replacement, and then a command to print out the results of a "for" or "while" loop to a text file which will be your HTML file with each individual link automatically built into the HTML code.  You will have a list of 50 links.  If you are simply looking for a GOOGLE type functionality where you click on "Next" and "Previous" you will have to dig deeper into variable replacement--this I don't know how to do yet but there are books for command-line shell interpreters.  One shell interpreter is called "bash" (born-again shell) and there is a book on the market which gives a detailed example of how to replace variables in a shell script.  Again, I don't know how it works.  I will try to learn this at a later time when I am more seasoned with the basics of shell scripting.

  • Ibooks wont show my pdf files!!

    Hello, I am using the latest itunes on Windows 7 and I have an iPad 2 with iOs7... Ive been trying manually add my pdf library to the iBooks app on my device trough iTunes, process that in the past was quite easy. The thing is that I can still do this, but this time the books would be on my device (or at least that is what see when I explore the content of my iPad through iTunes) but when i open the iBooks app: NOTHING!... it just doesnt show my pdf files even though I know they are there, Ive tried deleting them and adding them again, Ive also had the problem of iTunes freezing completely "syncing genius data - waiitng for items to copy"... does anyone know if these two issues are related? what can i do? is there a way to look for corrupyed files or something like that on ipad?... PLEASE HELP, I AM GOING NUTS!

    I had the exact same problem.  I bought some PDF ebooks and they showed on the iBooks Mac app but not on my iPad or iPhone.  I looked in iTunes and I have select the books to sync on my iPad due to my iPad being filled up with tons of stuff.  Anyway the newer PDF ebooks were not there.  I tried stopping starting sync, sync over USB and various combinations of starting and stopping itunes and iBooks.
    What finally worked is I removed the PDF ebooks from iBooks, renamed the PDF files and ensured I had the .pdf extension, readded to iBooks and then they appeared in iTunes for my iPad to select and then sync.  Hope that works for you as well.  I got this idea as someone mentioned a naming hint that was more related to the extension but that didn't work but when I deleted, changed the entire name and then readded to iBooks all good

  • How can I change an Adobe .pdf file to a .jpeg file?

    I have a .pdf file and the program I need to upload the file to only accepts .jpeg files.  Can I change the .pdf to a .jpeg?

    Not using Reader alone no.
    You could take a snapshot and paste it into an image application, you could open it in Photoshop and save as a .jpg or you could use save as .jpg from Acrobat.

  • How to change numbers of PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended #9

    I just combined 3 PDF files that had their own numbering into one. I have searched how to change this file into a consecutive numbering with no success. I do the steps outlined to open the Number options, but when filling in the blanks, and making choices, nothing changes on the pages ... just in the thumbnail section.
    HELP!

    Post your question in a forum for Acrobat. Adobe Reader can't change page numbers.

  • ? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

    I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

    Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case.  There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior.  You probably need to investigate that.  But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.'  Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.'  From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf.  If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides).  If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it.  It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
    This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

  • How to change name of home file on mac

    Hi, not entirely sure of the name of this file. Currently it is "anthonycullinane" which is my fathers name, it was changed when my iMac was taken into an apple store for a service, i don't have a clue why it would've been changed but i'd like to change it back
    if you look in the favourites bar in the finder window you'll see what i mean.
    I've attempted to "unlock" the file to allow changes to be made but there is no option to rename the file. The text input is grey and doesn't allow change

    You cannot rename your user account name easily. You need to do some extra steps and use the root user, so be very careful and make a backup of your files before modifying anything.
    Then, follow these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1428

  • Printing to a PDF - want to name the PDF File

    I am successfully printing a document to a PDF file. I am using the ,u argument in the Print Agent and I know this causes the pdf document to get a generic filename. How can I get the pdf filename to be a meaningful name such as the PO number? In other words, if I am printing Purchase order 12345, how can I get the pdf to be named 12345.pdf rather that the generic name of jf3897a.pdf
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    I am running Jetforms 5.3

    I know of no way to do exactly what you are wanting without writing a custom agent (that is what we did to accomplish the same thing). The custom agent extracts the desired data value(s), building the name we want. It then causes Central to store it as a user variable via the
    b jetform.rsp
    file. See:
    i Returning Status and Parameters to Central
    in the Adobe Central Output Server - Working with Central manual. (It is probably named differently for your older version of Central - I'm using 5.6 .) The variable name is then used as the specified file name instead of using the
    b ,u
    parameter.
    Our output parameter looks like:
    b -z"c:\OutSource FTP\01-115\@user1.".pdf
    where
    i @user1.
    is the reference to the variable for the actual file name that the custom agent caused to be stored.
    If you are unable to create a custom agent but if the data source is also building the ^job line then you could have it use an unused option to pass the value to Central and then use a variable reference to it for passing on the file name. For example, we use the
    b -aji
    option (job ID) to pass on a data value to be used as the control file name for the Transformation Agent. It is referenced using the
    i @JobID.
    variable, like:
    b "C:\JetForm\Forms\Data Transformation\TDF Files\@JobID..tdf"
