Insert filename and path?

Hi,
Can you insert the filename and path into a footer in a ID document same as you would with a Microsoft Word document?
Thank you,
Barb

With CS3 use a text variable.

Trying to add filename and path in footer of Word doc and it only lets me "Convert to PDF"?

I am running MS Office 03 and just installed Acrobat 9.0 Pro. When I try to insert the Filename and Path from the insert option of the footer properties, it only gives me the option to "Convert to PDF". I don't know why it's doing this, but it started after the install of Acrobat 9.0. What should I do?

To get the path ... event.target.path;
To get the file name .... event.target.documentFileName;

Inserting filename and page numbers into multiple PDF files?

Have since seen this thread, BUT still interested in the syntax of the code
to insert filename and page # into multiple files:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/951925?tstart=0
Good Evening (GMT!)
I have approx 100 PDFs with one or two pages in each, they are English translations
of Russian language test certificates and the formatting/feel of the originals is lost in
the translations. The only real link between the two sources is the "_RUS" and "_ENG"
filename suffixes and the common leading filenames otherwise. Thus I need to maintain
a record of the filename in any page I print off, should there be a need to refer back to
the original if the translation is open to artistic licence.
I have a script (below) that happily adds a page x/y and filename into the active file,
what I would like is to be able to do this insertion into multiple files as defined by a
portfolio or a selection via a select files dialogue box
I am quite out of my depth now as my past skirmishes with JavaScript have set
cookies and tweaked a few other browser doodads in webauthoring
Any help most appreciated on this one...
Kind Regards

NB the filename inserted may be corrupted as a result of my last tweakings
will sort that one out ASAP....

Putting this in a batch file within the automation function of Acrobat
delivers the goods, I need to investigate the formatting of the output to
get them to line up, have taken the middle ground and gone for a central
position for the page x/y text...... some lines are redundant

Filename and path sizes and characters

I am failing to load 4000+ tracks to my Ipod from my XP machine using Itunes 7.50.0.20. This is an Ipod Clickwheel 20GB. I want to load 17.86GB in the now empty Ipod. However it gets so far then stops saying there is not enough space.
I wonder if am I getting the wrong message?
Some of my tracks have very long filenames/paths e.g 124 charactere filenames and 213 character paths. I also have some filenames with " (double quote) in.
Could this be the reason?
If so what characters must I avoid and what size should the filename and paths be limited to?

Filenames and paths are irrelevant. They are renamed on the iPod anyway.
20 GB is not really 20. It is a rounded number all HD manufacturers use. Plus you lose some space due to formatting and the iPod software. There is also meta data for the songs which takes some space.

Given filename or path contains Unicode or double-byte characters.Retry using ASCII characters for filename and path What does this mean? it happen when I publish an OAM

Given file name or path contains Unicode or double-byte characters. Retry using ASCII characters for filename and path
What does this mean? It is happening when I try to publish an OAM for Dreamweaver.
Also: How can I specify the browser in Edge Animate? It is just going wherever. Are there no Preferences for Edge Animate?
BTW. Just call it Edge. Seriously. Do you call it Illustrator Draw? Photoshop Retouching?

No, my file name is mainContent.oam
My project name is mainContent.an
This error happens when I try to import into Dreamweaver. Sorry, I wasn't clear on that earlier.
I thought maybe it was because I had saved my image as a png. So re-saved as a svg, still get the error.
DO I have a setting is Dreamweaver CC that is wrong? Should I try this in Dreamweaver CS6? I might try that next.
Why is this program so difficult? I know Flash. I know After Effects. I can work the timeline part just great. It's always in the export that I have problems.
On a MacPro, 10.7.
Are you an Adobe person or just a nice helper?

Add filename and path to Designer form footer.

I am somewhat of a novice at creating forms in Livecycle designer and need help adding a filename and path to the footer of a form after clicking on the "save as' button. I have not found any answers anyplace so help would be greatly appreciated ASAP. Thank you!!

Create a field on your masterpage. Get rid of the caption, appearance=none and set as Protected. Also set your width to expand to fit. In the layout:ready event of your field, add this JavaScript:
this.rawValue=event.target.path
That should do it.

Programmatically change filename and path for PDFCreator

Hello,
I know that creating PDFs is a common question on the forum but I've yet to see someone with the same problem that I am encountering. I'm following the example at http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-4552#comment-12005. I posted a question on this page but am posting again here for hopes of a faster response.
I am able to create a pdf of the test.txt file. However, I am unable to change the path or filename. No matter what I select the file is created with the name and path defined in the autosave options of PDFCreator. Since the file is created, I know that the reference is correct. It seems that the cOption invoke nodes are not working. If I turn on autosave in the PDFcreator options, I am prompted with a save as window. This means that my command to use auto-save (in the config subvi) is not working. Likely, the autosavedirectory and autosavefilename are also not doing anything.
I'm at a loss because everything appears to be correct. Any thoughts on what could be wrong? (labview 8.6.1 PDFCreator 0.9)
Solved!

Have you tried downloading the latest version of PDF Creator? It looks as though it is at 1.0.1 now. If this is a problem with the ActiveX interface, it may be resolved in the latest version.

Inserting filenames and pathnames into headers

According to Pages '08 help:
"Using Headers and Footers
Add headers and footers to give your documents page-by-page identity by showing the date and time, page number, or filename and pathname."
OK, I wish to add automatically updating filenames and pathnames in my headers.
Except there appears to be no way to do it?
Can you help?

Message filename and path is too long to be copied-How to fix?

On Windows 7, TB ver 24.6.0, I use a program called SecondCopy to copy my email at shutdown from my C drive on my workstation to our file server.
I get several messages each day like this for the copy to be saved on our network data share:
7/4/2014 9:07:16 PM - Unable to create \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail-4.com\INBOX.mozmsgs\urn.correios.msg.201211050157328fade3baa08b405e9a940681276b34d9%401352080653478.rte-svc-onebox-na-1d-i-8da6c8f1.us-east-1.amazon.com.wdseml Cannot create file "". The filename or extension is too long
I've done some abbreviating of folder names, but my names pale in comparison to the LOOOOONG names TB gives them.
How can I fix this?

'''''I've done some abbreviating of folder names, but my names pale in comparison to the LOOOOONG names TB gives them.'''''
That is because wdseml files are simply files created to allow windows search to index your mail. I do not allow it and safe quite a lot of totally wasted disk space on a feature I do not use. Thunderbird has a perfectly good search engine. At least as good as windows search.
Your mail is stored in MBOX files higher up in the profile along with a file of the same name with an MSF extension that indexes the folder contents. One file and one index per folder of mail. In the example above, it will be \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail-4.com
So I would suggest backing up your profile minus these space takers and seriously consider simply disabling windows search. Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > advanced > General under system integration.
Beyond that we all have to live within the 256 character limitation on path length imposed by windows.

Adding filename and path to Adobe Designer form footer

We are developing a form and Document Control required the form have a field on the form footer to show the live "Path & filename".
I need what is shown in the properties under "File" to show up in the footer. I have been unable to locate the correct syntax to type in the footer.
Can you tell me how this can be accomplished?

Create a field on your masterpage. Get rid of the caption, appearance=none and set as Protected. Also set your width to expand to fit. In the layout:ready event of your field, add this JavaScript:
this.rawValue=event.target.path

Add filename and path into PDF-form

Hello,
I create different PDF-forms for our company with LiveCycle Designer 8.2.1 .
Now I have to integrate the name of the form-file and its path automatically into the form. My idea is to place a text-field, I will give the type "calculated" in the value-tab of the object-palette. This Text-field should be filled with the file name and the path where it's stored in the background. I find these two values in the info-tab of the form-properties dialog-box. My questions is: How do I get these values, that I can place them via script into my text field?
Can someone give me a hint? Thanks.

To get the path ... event.target.path;
To get the file name .... event.target.documentFileName;

Filenames and paths in applets

I've made an audio recording applet wich records and plays back audio. When it's run in a browser it records the wavefile to my home directory, but when it plays back it looks for the file in the classfile directory. When I run it with appletviewer the file is recorded to and played back from the classfile directory, as it should.
Now I've tried and tried to find what's different in the two classes (recording and playback), but I cannot find the reason why it's looking in these two different locations for the file when ran in a browser.
If someone's got any idea...? Is there a way to specify to java that you want to use the home directory? Something like $HOME in shell scripting?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, You can try playing with the java system properties (check http://leepoint.net/notes-java/io/30properties_and_preferences/40sysprops/10sysprop.html ) to get the working dir or temp dir, also you can modify them so the file is created in the temp dir and read from the temp dir always.
