Is there a way to set default PDF options/presets in Illustrator CS5?

I do a lot of design and have a custom preset created for saving my .ai files to .pdf. It's not a big deal but it's a little tedious switching from the default adobe PDF preset to my custom preset every time I save as to a PDF (Besides the ocassional times where I forget to switch it altogether, having my preset set to default would eliminate that).
So I guess is there a way to set my custom preset as the default option for .PDFs? Thanks.

Unfrotunately, I tried that and I guess you're not allowed to delete the presets that Adobe's created in Illustrator
(Unless there's a way to find the actual preset file in Finder and delete that? Not sure because I've deleted the presets in HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ AdobePDF/Settings but an Illustrator Default still appears).
Thanks though.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

Handling Unit - Is there a way to set default weigh unit in HUPAST screen?

All the HU expert,
We would like to find a way to set default the weigh unit LB in the HUPAST screen. We look at the packing station profile configuration HUPAST_C, and couldn't find any relevent setting in it. Do you have the similar issue and what is the alternative way to set this default?

In Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, is there a way to set defaults when combining files?

My specific problem; When I combine files, Adobe creates the bookmarks (which is desirable). These bookmarks however, always seem to default on "page width" view. I would prefer to have the bookmarks set to "fit page". It is very cumbersome to edit each bookmark to reset the view. (this is another issue which should be addressed as well).
My preferences already are set to view the files in fit page, single page, however this setting does not seem to transfer to the combined file.
Is there a way to globally set the preferences for this? Even the settings during the combining function do not give options for the page view settings.

There isn't a way to set this during the Combine process but it's easy to change all the bookmarks in one go using the following technique:
Open the bookmark navigation pane and select all the bookmarks (be sure to expand all subbookmarks).
Right-click and choose Properties from the context-sensitive menu.
Click the Actions tab and choose Execute a menu item from the dropdown.
Click the Add button and choose View > Zoom > Zoom to Page Level and click OK.

Is there a way to set default search settings in the app store

Hi GB,
Are you talking about the stationary for the inside/body of the email (which BD gave great instructions for) or are you talking about the background color/highlight for the email as it appears in your sent folder?
I use my Mac Mail to manage several different email accounts from a variety of sources. I color code them so I can tell which account the email came into/from by just looking at the screen. If this will help, I (or one of us) can help you set this up in Mail's Rules.
Let me know.

Is there a way to set default build-in for a presentation?

There seems a major regression in the most recent Keynote. I used to be able to edit the master slides I use to add build-in animations, so that all my slides would build in in the same way. But when I try to do that now, it says "animations aren't available on master slides".
Can this be done?

I'm not going to lie. At first I was extremely disappointed that they removed transitions from master slides. I used it all the time.
After fiddling with it for a while, I think I'll be fine . I still use the master page for layout and formatting, but I then just create some template-like slides with the transitions based off the masters. You can then create a new slide by duplicating a template and customizing it. Once you're done, you can tell Keynote to "skip" the template slides so they don't show up in your presentation.
Here's the nice thing I've found. After you've customized a lot of slides based off of a master, then change the master, it doesn't change your transitions. I used to have to go in and fix a ton of transitions after updating the master slide.
Hopefully this is a decent alternative for Keynote master slides with transitions.

Is there a way to set the default level of keyframe easing?

I'm currently using the graph editor to smooth my ease-in / ease-out keyframes with 100% influence. I'm having to adjust the easing of each keyframe individually.
Is there a way to set the default level to 100%, so that I can just select "Easy Ease In" and have it apply without having to go into the graph editor? It would save a lot of time.

No, there's not a way to do that, but it's a good feature request. You can submit feature requests here:

Is there a way to set which keychain item is used by default for a site/application?

This question applies primarily to the keychain in Mavericks, but also the iCloud keychain and its use in iOS.
There are several sites and services for which I have multiple logins that serve different purposes. Whether it's because they are business/personal accounts, or accounts that pertain to different functions, I have multiple logins for many sites/services I use daily, however, there is usually one primary account for each that I use for most purposes.
What I would like to be able to do is set which of these logins appears by default. An example scenario might be if I have an "admin" account on a site, and a "dev" account that is used for testing purposes to Q/A the site from the perspective of a user who doesn't have administrative access. Most of my work happens under "admin" but whenever I go to the login page, the "dev" account prepopulates in the login form and I have to start typing admin and select that. It also does this on my iPhone, which is where this issue becomes very cumbersome, because there is no dropdown for me to select which credentials to use to autofill from. It appears to only allow autofill from whatever it sees as the first account to come up, and I can't seem to change that without deleting all the other keychain items that come up ahead of the one that I want. This kind of thing also poses a significant risk of accidents if, say, I have multiple payment methods saved and the one that comes up by default isn't my personal payment method, but a business account that's only meant to be used for business purchases. If that comes up first, if I don't replace it with my personal details, I might accidentally place a personal charge on a business account.
So I really have 2 questions:
1) Is there a way to set the priority order of which account populates a form by default from the keychain?
2) When filling out credentials on iOS, an "autofill" button appears at the top of my keyboard, and I can begin typing in a field and it will show the autocomplete of the username that I am typing, but if I click autofill, it replaces it with the original credentials and not those of whatever I began typing in. If I click on the username it's autocompleting, it just clears the autocomplete. Is there some way to choose which username I'm autocompleting a form with?
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about a solution to this, and if there isn't, and if anyone at Apple is listening, in an ideal world, it would be like setting the priority order of known wifi networks, where you can drag your first choice to the top of the list.

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Is there a way to set a default "Source Range" in AME when exporting from Premiere Pro CC?

When exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CC, you are able to toggle between 4 drop down options within Adobe Media Encoder on what Source Range you'd like to export (Work Area, Sequence In/Out, Entire Sequence, Custom) as seen here:
Is there a way to set the default Source Range to something besides Sequence In/Out?
My reason for asking is that sometimes I export multiple sequences at once using AME's Queue. I add my custom presets to each Sequence and hit export, but SOMETIMES I may have accidentally marked an in point on my timeline and by default it's set to export only that In-to-Out part of the sequence.
I know what you may be thinking...well, just don't add any In/Out points to your sequence on the timeline or clear them first. The trouble is that I often don't see them or catch them when working quickly. In Premiere Pro CC, I use the "Lighter Brightness" Appearance setting because it's easier on my eyes after editing 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Sure, darker looks cooler, but it kills my eyes for some reason. Anyway, PPro CC has a troublesome appearance issue in CC where it's not "optimized" for editing when you change it to a lighter appearance like it was in CS6. I've already contacted Adobe about this and another appearance issue (involving highlighted clips when in Lighter Appearance setting) and they are "actively working on fixing this appearance issue asap".
For reference, here's Premiere Pro CC in/out points in default dark appearance (notice the slightly lighter grey area):
Now here's that same in/out in "Lighter Appearance":
Not exactly optimized. Can hardly see it. Good luck spotting that little guy on a long timeline. Sadly, this affects in/out points in the Source Window as well. Really hard to see.
Conversly, CS6 looked the best (the blue REALLY stands out making things easy to see):
So my question again...is there a way to set the default "Source Range" to something else besides Sequence In/Out so that I don't end up doing what I just did and leaving for several hours while batch exporting only to come back and find that I exported only a "portion" of one of my big sequences?
Thank you!

Here is the solution: Slow down. Give your project some love. Smell the roses.
Agreed about the roses but alas my next project always calls. Actually, I think what happens is I give each project SO much love that when it comes to exporting, I've run out of time.
shooternz wrote:
Then it would not be a default...it would be an option and you already have that option.
Semantics aside, I would love to be able to have it at least default to whatever option was last chosen. Or, perhaps I shouldn't use the word default again...I'd love it to simply remember my preferred setting. That's all.

Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing your default printer?

With the recent Adobe update (current version Adobe Pro XI Pro (1637-0001) 11.0.00), there were some changes that have caused a program my company uses to distort all or part of a pdf once it has been imported. We have found a work around. However, the work around is now becoming time consuming with the amount of files we deal with on a daily basis. Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing the default printer to the Adobe printer? (this is our work around solution).
Thanks!

For what you are trying to do, probably not. You have to open Acrobat and go to the print menu to select the Adobe PDF printer if it is not the default. The only possibility that I can think of (you will have to try it to tell if that is the case) is to drag the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and see if it prints. This used to work, but I just tried it in Win7 and it did not do the job.

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?
I am working on an end-user's computer, I just updated to the newest Adobe Reader and they don't ever print duplex. I want to be able to have the "print to both sides" box unchecked on the print dialog by default. Is there a way to do this? I have the printer settings all set to 1-sided but it is adobe print dialog settings that keep messing it up.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Have you tried repairing Reader and checked?
Does this issue occur only on this machine or are you facing the issue with other computers as well which have updated to Reader 11.0.10?

Is there a way to set a default solution .runsettings file in VS2013?

This is a question my coworker asked over on StackOverflow
[here], but hasn't received a single comment or answer. Thought I'd repost it here since I know the VS guys are more likely to see it here...
I'm using VS2013 with the built-in unit test framework. I've created a .runsettings file that sits in the Solution Items folder. When I select Test -> Test Settings -> Select Test Settings File, I am able to choose my .runsettings file and it works
as expected.
When I exit out of VS2013 and then re-load the project, I have to re-select the .runsettings file. Is there any way to set the default .runsettings file at solution level so it gets persisted?

Hi,
I can’t get your issue on my side(VS2012 Update 4 machine and VS2013 Update 1 RC machine). If you are using VS2012, please upgrade it to VS2012 Update 4. If you are using VS2013, please upgrade it to VS2013 Update 1 RC.
When I restart VS and re-load the project, the .runsettings file is still selected
with the Select Test Settings File menu option and .runsettings file is still used when I run the unit test.
I doubt that there is anything wrong with your VS. As I mentioned above, please reset your VS settings through Tools->Import and Export settings->Reset all settings…
If no help, try some other devenv commands to fix:
1.devenv.exe /safemode
2.devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
3.devenv.exe /installvstemplates
4.devenv.exe /resetuserdata
devenv.exe can be located under your VSlocation/Common7/IDE
What your need is to put it to run prompt and add commands to it.
If the issue still exists, please repair or reinstall your VS.
Meanwhie, if you have some anti-virus software running when you work with VS, please close them to check the reuslt.
