Is there a way to alter the file name given to the attachments in an email button?

When ever I click the standard email button, I get an attachement with random alfa and numeric characters for the file name.  Is there any way to change the files names to match a data field in the form or start with something I choose?
Thanks,
Judy

Hi RudyLou36,
While viewing the form in Preview TAB of LC Designer you will always get the junk characters as the name of the file. Save the file and open it in Acrobat or Reader.
You won't be able to change the filename unless you save the file first. Here (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681) is an example of a number of ways to deal with parts of the email programatically.

  • Is there any way to delete duplicate files en mas within the new itunes program?

    I've just installed the new itunes program on my laptop. I used the scan for media option to find music. Problem is almost every entry and there's several hundred of them is duplicated and in some cases triplicated within the itunes media library.
    Question ... Is there any way to delete duplicated files en mas withing the itunes library folder?
    Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to do it individually as that may take days.
    Thanks

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Is there a way to pass archive file name to the command-line control?

    Hi there,
    I have been researching the flash media live encoder laterly. But still cannot find confirmed anwsers on the following questions:
    1. Is there a way to pass an archive file name to the command-line control when starting an encoder?
    2. Can the username/password to the Flash Media Server be saved in the profile? If not, is there any otherway to provide(GUI mode) them automatically,
        like as variables to a script?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Helen

    1. The only way to inform the command-line encoder about the archive file name is to save the FMLE session profile with the file name. The node for saving the file name is <output><file><path>C:\sample.flv</output></file></path>. The easier way to update the xml profile is to use "Save Profile" option of the GUI mode. If you want to programmatically update the file name, read the profile and update the node before launching the encoder. I hope this answers your question.
    2. No. Credentials can't be saved in the profile. The only way to provide them programmatically is to use /ap and /ab commands for the command-line encoder. For GUI mode, there is no programmable option. But still you can try capturing keystrokes.

  • Is there a way of printing the file name from within the Preview application?

    If I'm printing a file within Apple's Preview application, I sometimes want to be able to print the file name at the edge of the document. Does anyone know of way of doing this?

    Thanks for replying, that goes some way to answering the question, but I'm also looking to see how much space each app and its associated documents are using, i.e. Pages comes in at 112Mb for the app alone, but I'd like to know how much space is being used by the documents as well.
    Once again thanks,

  • How do I get PDF files to *automatically* save as the file name provided by the source?

    When I download a PDF file in Firefox, the file name changes from whatever name source used (e.g, important-report.pdf) to a miscellaneous group of characters (e.g., X2ba5zt.pdf). I often want to save the file using the 'source' name. I realize that can so do by changing the file name, but I would like to know if there is a way to set the default so that the source file name is used.

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • Getting the file name before downloading the data

    Hello,
    i got following to downloading a file from the net,
    is there is a way to find out the file name of the downloading file if the url is eg; www.somewhere.com/?file=33
    OutputStream out = null;
              URLConnection conn = null;
              InputStream  in = null;
              try {
                   URL url = new URL(address);
                   out = new BufferedOutputStream(
                        new FileOutputStream(localFileName));
                   conn = url.openConnection();
                   in = conn.getInputStream();
                   byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                   int numRead;
                   long numWritten = 0;
                   while ((numRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                        out.write(buffer, 0, numRead);
                        numWritten += numRead;
                   }

    Check the response headers. You can use [URLConnection#getHeaderField()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/URLConnection.html#getHeaderField(java.lang.String)] for this. It may be available in the [content-disposition|http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec19.html#sec19.5.1] header.

  • When downloading a file, only the first word of the attached file is included in the 'file name' field, not the entire file name, as it used to.

    Regardless of filetype, only the first word of the file is filled into the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box. I'm set up to 'save file' in the FF Options > Applications tab for the basic MS and Adobe files. To successfully use/find the downloaded file, I type in the remainder of the file name. Have I overlooked an additional setting? Running FF 18.0 on a Win7 PC.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    A possible cause is that the server sends a wrong response header.
    The server may not comply to RFC 5987 and sends a wrong Content-Disposition:attachment; filename header.

    Hi,
    you can't.
    Except you save the file under a different name before you send it.

  • How do i put the file name right on the photo?

    how do I put the file extension number or name right on my photo for clients to order?

    Or put the file name as Copyright in Metadata and add Watermark (Simple Copyright) on Export!
    A plugin called LR/Transporter could probably automate that. However, I don't think many people will want to do this once all usages of the image are considered!
    So an export plugin called LR/Mogrify (which calls in the utility ImageMagick as an output processor) would be the next suggestion. This should let you put more or less whatever image parameter you want, onto the image as an automated label - also add borders outside or inside the image boundary, place the thumbnail inside a larger square canvas, a few other options. Then that can all be saved as a LR export preset for greater convenience and repeatability in the future.

  • Is there a way to rename multiple files in finder at the same time?

    for example, I have a group of pictures that I want to all start with the word "start" and be listed as "start1, start2, etc" Is this possible to do as a group versus having to individaully renaming every picture?

    There are some third-party renamers, or you can use an Automator Workflow.
    Start Automator and create a new Workflow.
    Drag in a Get Selected Finder Items Action.
    Drag in a Rename Finder Items Action. It will ask if you want to copy the items so that you don't alter the originals. Since you want to actually rename the originals, don't add that action.
    Set the parameters for the Rename. If you want to be able to reuse that workflow for different things, click the Options button and set it to show the action when the workflow runs. From your example, choose Make Sequential. Start with a new name and number it after the name.
    Save it so you can recall it when needed.
    Select your files and Run the workflow.
    You could also create it as a Service so that you can select files, then ctrl-click to select the workflow from the contextual menu. If you want that, set the Service to receive Files and Fodlers in the Finder.
    Skip step 1 (or delete it if you are converting it to a Service), but do the rest above. Save it with a short name so you can easily find it. It will appear in the Services submenu of the contextual menu.

  • Is there a way of addressign text files other than through the place command?

    I'm working with  a large document that has multiple  records - each record has 2  spreads of master pages - tha tis  1 spread and then another - so 4 master pages in all. I'm preparign individual tagged text files for each of these. I find it really onerous to  have to click on teh frame and "place" each individual text fiel. Is tehre not a way to invoke/import/place a text file that doesn't involve mousing around and  often clicking on teh wrong thing - thereby generatign a new frame and blowing everything to smithreeens?
    AS an aside - I've drawn the followign conclusions about workign with frames on master pages: when text is asked to flow form one  master spread onto anotehr - it won't work - CS4 crashes or simply doesn't  flow the text correclty - I've downloaded an excellent plugin from http://www.rorohiko.com/ called text stitch - that eanble stitchign of text frames  and htis seems ot work alhtough it still requires intervention of having to actualy click on teh   overflow red + indicator on teh last frame of the  spread generated by teh first  master pages and tehn clicking on the first frame of the 2nd  spread generated by the 2nd master.
    Also - what gives with questions aobut tagged text - I've noticed that 4 postings about this have gone unanswered - not jsut mine but others as well?
    Thanks for all your help - this forum is great!

    I've been wondering that myself, but I've not had any answers for those posters. (I don't think that "Yeah, I used tagged text in Quark or PageMaker in the 90s, but these days anything that I would have wanted to do with tagged text would be easier to do with XML" would be very helpful.)
