Multiple Windows for Multiple Files using Reader 7.0.9

Install used to be able to double click on PDFs and open each on in their own window from My Computer using Windows XP Pro SP2.
This morning, each file double clicked opens in the same Reader window.
In our environment the apps our locked down so the "Internet" menu has the "Display PDF in browser" is checked but grayed out. I am about to investigate the "file types" action on the user machine but my install behaves the same way.
The user thinks they need Reader 8.x but I am curious if anyone has seen this issue when NOT using the browser but just My Computer and a double click on the files.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, I've had no response to my post as of yet.
Interestingly, I was playing around with it a little further. I was finally able to get acrobat reader 7 to start but only under the following conditions:
- I created a new user with no files in the home directory
- I logged in remotely via ssh and set my DISPLAY
- I was then able to bring up acrobat reader 7. v8 still hangs right after the GUI comes up.
I tried unset'ing all of the environment variables as my normal user and setting only the ones defined in the working environment above. v7 still would hang.
I tried 'su - newuser' but v7 would still hang.
I tried 'ssh newuser@localhost' and v7 would start.
I tried logging in via ssh as my normal user and v7 hangs.
Again, I'm stuck as to where to go from here.

  • Load multiple files using the same data load location

    has anybody tried loading multiple files using the same load locations. I need to do this as the data in these multiple files will need to be exported from FDM as a single export file. the problem i am facing is more user related. since these files will be received at different points of time, users will need a way to tell them what has been loaded and what is yet to be loaded.
    is it possible to throw a window on the web broser with OK and Cancel buttons from an event script?
    any pointers to possible solutions will be helpful

    was able to resolve this. the implementation method is as follows
    take a back up of previously imported data in the befcleardata event script. then in the beffileimport event append the data to the import file. there are many other intricacies but this is the broad implementation logic. it allowed my users to load multiple files without worrying about append or replace import type choices

  • How to upload multiple files using af:inputfile

    Hi,
    I am using J dev 11.1.1.3. I have a requirement wherein i need to upload multiple files using af:inputfile. Can we do in it ADF ? Is there any other work around to implement the same. I have checked previous questions but not able to find proper solution for this.
    Any pointer in this regard is highly helpful.
    Regards,
    Kalyan

    You have to do this your self by either (as vinod said) using a different component (not present in adf) or implementing this:
    1) allow the user to select multiple filenames (somehow)
    2) zip them together
    3) upload the zip
    4) unpack the zip on the server
    5) work with the files

    Yes, you could try using the multipart handler...
    But I have a better idea...
    Determine the maximum number of file uploads that the
    user can do at one time. I mean, you can't
    realistically have the user upload a million files at
    one time. So say the max is 20. So you create your
    action form class with 20 FormFile fields called file1
    to file20.
    Then when you dynamically create your page, you
    dynamically create the specified number of file fields
    and 1 hidden field called "totalFiles" which contains
    the number of file fields you created. This should be
    an int field in the form bean.
    Then when you do your action processing, you just loop
    thru the totalFiles... Or well, actually, you may not
    need that at all. You could just check all the
    FormFile fields and whatever ones aren't null contain
    files.But what about UploadActionForm.java[b]
    How do i have exact mapping of the HTML form in this file ??

  • Renaming multiple files using automator.

    hello. i am renaming multiple files using automator. now when i import the images they are in sequential order like dscn001, dscn002 etc... i want to rename it to 001 my pic, 002 my pic, etc...
    i am choosing the sequential renaming option. after importing the pics to automator i see to it that i sort them by name so that the new names i provide are in the order of the actual file names ie. 001mypic = dscn001, 002mypic = dscn002, etc..
    however, it seems that inspite of sorting then my name they are being renamed randomly. what should i do. this is distrubing the cronological order of the pics.
    thanks in advance
    Neerav

    Well, whenever I rename in sequential order (presorted or otherwise), that is exactly what happens, so I am not sure what is causing your particular problem. If you look at the results of sorting before the rename, you should see that the items are renamed in that order - although the way that they are sorted after the rename may be different. You can easily see this sorting by just adding a prefix/suffix and looking at the differences in how the lists are sorted (sorting by name (numerically) may give you different results). Check out this Apple document to see if this is what is happening.

  • How to display the Get info window for a file or folder

    Hello,
    How can I display the Get Info window for a file or folder using Applescript - instead of selecting it in the finder and using Command-I ?
    Thanks.
    lenpartico

    The item property that the Get Info was opened for is read only, so it doesn't look like you can just throw a file path at it. You could do something like telling the Finder to reveal the item, then keystroke the command, e.g.:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFEE80;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    tell application "Finder"
    reveal "Path:to:your:file"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "i" using {command down}
    </pre>
    ... but this doesn't seem to be much different than the regular method. There are other methods to get various information, what are you wanting to do?
    Edit:
    Hmmm, I could have sworn (I do a lot of that these days) I tried Hiroto's method, but that does work. It still seems to be a roundabout way of doing something though.

  • Read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi

    My question is how to read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi .
    My objective is to create a series of small avi files by using IMAQ AVI write frame with mpeg-4 codec of 2 second long (so 40 frames in each file with 20 fps ) and then send them one by one so as to create a stream of video. The image are grabbed from USB camera. If I read those frames using IMAQ AVI read frame then compression advantage would be lost so I want to read the whole file itself.
    I read the avi file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and then sent to remote end and save it and then display it, however it didnt work. I later found that if I read an image file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and save it in local computer itself , the format would be changed and it would be unrecognizable. Am I doing wrong by reading the file in unsined 8 bit integer format or should I have used any other data types.
    I am using Labview 8.5 and Labview vision development module and vision acquisition module 8.5
    Your help would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Check out the (full) help message for "write to binary file"
    The "prepend array or string size" input defaults to true, so in your example the data written to the file will have array size information added at the beginning and your output file will be (four bytes) longer than your input file. Wire a False constant to "prepend array or string size" to prevent this happening.

  • Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using  Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

    I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
    I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using  Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600.  HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
    Thanks in advance.
    VO

    It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
    an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
    ³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
    If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
    ³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
    In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
    be.

  • ? 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.

  • Cannot save pdf files using Reader 9.1

    I cannot save the pdf files from online journals as .pdf files using Reader 9.1  The only options it gives me are html or plain text.   Previous versions of Reader saved the pdf files easily.  Configuration issue?

    What browser are you using? Are you positive that they are PDF files? If so, do you have a link we can look at?
    Typicaly, if they really are PDF fies, that's the only option you get when you use fie>save as. If they're just web pages, you get the options that you mention.

  • How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    Hi Ed
    Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
    audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
    So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that.  To explain
    further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
    default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
    folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files.  This is very tedious
    process when you have alot of files to save.  So my question was is there a
    way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
    file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
    the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
    spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
    prodcution folder I want.
    I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
    Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
    have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
    would be nice if I could do everything automatically.  Microsoft makes this
    capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
    do the same thing.  Your help with this would be appreicated,
    Thanks
