Numbers won't add pdf extension to filename

Hi, I am a bit frustrated that when I add '.pdf' to my filenames (when exporting to pdf from numbers, pages, etc), it doesn't save them like that, it just takes it off. Which means that I always have to go back to the file and add it in again. I know it will still open on my computer without the extension, but many of my clients are on pc so they still need it. Is there a way to set it so it adds them?
thanks!
Joni

Do you have show all filename extensions checked in Finder > Preferences?

ITunes won't add pdf file to library

Using iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS 10.6.8
Simply trying to add a PDF file (created in Word for Mac 2011 v. 14.2.4) to my iTunes library so I can upload it to my iPad.
I have done this many times before with no problems. Suddenly my iTunes will not add my files to the library.
I did just run an automatic Mac software update (not sure what it was), and an recent update from Microsoft, but nothing out of the ordinary and I can't see why that would affect whether iTunes adds files.
Tried looking in HELP function but fould nothing remotely related.
Have no idea what to do now.
Any suggestions? This is something that I do a lot of so I'm having a real breakdown here!
Thank you for any help.

Merging numbers documents into single PDF for emailing

I have 23-50 numbers documents (invoices) that I want to send as one single PDF (to save time).
When I select them all in Finder and open in Preview they are not full size and are rotated the wrong way.
When I open them seperately in Numbers and cmd P they show up fine covering the whole A4 paper and are rotated correctly.
Is there any way of sending multiple Numbers files as one PDF, or separate PDFs without having to open each one and Cmd P > PDF and drag/drop into Mail??
Trying to save time, as we have 23-50 of these every week to do!
We don't want to save them as PDFs as we create the documents as this takes up space on the computer - and there's loads of them!
Hoping someone will know the answer.
Thanks for taking the time to help

Hi again mm,
Use a master document in Numbers to temporarily hold copies of each invoice, each on a separate Sheet.
As you complete each invoice, copy that table and then go to the temporary master document. Add a new Sheet and delete the default table that appears. Paste the new invoice. If the invoice has formulas, Menu > Edit > Paste Formula Results (because in Numbers, the formulas will not link back to the original document).
When you are ready to email this master document, Menu > File > Print... and in Print Preview panel on the right > Print All Sheets:
Click on the Print... button (it won't print yet). Bottom left of the print dialogue choose Save As PDF
That is the PDF for you to email and then delete. *
I tried this with an "invoice" on each of two Sheets. Not tried with 23-50 invoices .
Regards,
Ian.

Firefox 22 won't open PDFs

Ever since updating Firefox/Mac to v.22, the built-in Firefox PDF viewer won't open PDFs. Any PDF link automatically downloads the file.
I've set the Applications control for PDFs to "Preview in Firefox". I've also reset the mimeTypes.rdf file, but none of this has helped. The files download to my HD. Firefox won't open PDFs on its own. I've had to resort to installing the Shubert plugin to get PDFs to display. It works, but I'd rather get Firefox's native reader to work.
Is there, perhaps, a setting under about:config that might need changed? I don't have to enable Java, do I?
Firefox 22/Mac OSX 10.6.8
Thanks.

If Portable Document Format (PDF) is set to "Preview in Firefox" in the Applications panel, as shown in [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer|this KB article]] for Windows (Mac OS will be similar except for your default PDF viewer application ...Preview?... and available PDF Browser plugin, Shubert's)
And, if the issue isn't
*a downloader add-on
*another installed add-on (I see you have the Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF extension disabled; you also have [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ PDF Viewer] extension v 0.7.1 installed and disabled. I would uninstall PDF Viewer since it's now built-in to Firefox, since Firefox 19) or
*other profile issue (you could also try [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles|creating a new Firefox profile]] for testing)
Then:
Another possible route you could take would be to file a bug report at bugzilla.mozilla.org since your issue may be related to a change made in Firefox 22. For example, see these possibly related bugs (fixed in Firefox 22):
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738967 Bug 738967] - pdf.js doesn't work for embedded PDFs
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=855666 Bug 855666] - Firefox Nighty 22.0a1 opens blank page instead of calling the third-party PDF reader plugin

HT2486 How do I add an extension to a phone number?

Anyone know how to add an extension to a phone number in Address Book? And even better, how to create a pause when I call, so the extension is entered?

From OSX daily:The easiest way is through your iPhone or add a semicolon ";" NOT a comma in Mac Address book .
Though you’ve long been able to add automatically dialed extensions to contacts on the iPhone, the newest versions of iOS handle extensions much more intelligently, allowing you to create a “Dial Extension” button to any specific contact. That extension dialer can be activated manually, making the navigation of telephony menus infinitely easier, here’s how to quickly add this to a contact:
Open Contacts and tap the contact name to add the extension to, then tap the “Edit” button
Tap the phone number entry, place the cursor at the end, then tap the “+*#” button to access additional options
Choose “wait” then enter the extension afterwards, it will add a semicolon and the extension afterwards to the address appearing like so: 1-888-555-5555;123
Tap “Done” and exit out of contacts
Now dial the contact to discover a “Dial 123″ button has appeared, tap that whenever you want to dial the extension
The extensions can also be added from a Mac in Contacts (Address Book) by adding a semicolon to numbers followed by an extension, just be sure to sync it through the same iCloud account or it won’t go over to the iPhone.
Anyone who frequently uses extensions to reach specific people at an office, or anyone who has battled an automated phone system knows how useful this can be. You can even set a string of numbers, though the Dial button remains the same.

One or more Adobe PDF extensions are disabled - Citrix Metaframe Environment

*NOTE* we're still in the testing phases of this project.
We've have an ASP based application within our system. This app launches PDF documents in the browser during processing.
2 of the 12 Citrix clients running tests are now reporting that when they get to this portion of the tests they get the error message:
"One or more Adobe PDF extensions are disabled" and cannot proceed until they exit the app and IE 7, go into Tools - Manage Add-Ons and enable the Adobe PDF add-on.
This works for their current session but when they log out and log back in the following day the Adobe PDF add-on is again disabled.
Is there a registry entry for this add on? The users are working with roaming profiles so I'm wondering if this is the culprit but don't want to have to rebuild their profile as a solution. When this app goes live we'll be dealing with over 1000 users and if this still happens we could be looking at a great deal of profile rebuilds.
Thanks in advance
Joe

I installed 8.1.2 this morning. Later, while trying to print a page from a catalog I got the message "One or more Adobe PDF Extensions are disabled." It then proceded to tell me how to fix the problem.
When I got to the "Manage Add-ons" list 100% of them were enabled ... not a single one disabled !
I really don't want to use the option to "not show this message again" as some day it might really count, neither do I want to see the error message every time I print something.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

When I go to Tools Add-ons, nothings shows under Add-ons, Extensions, etc.

The only clickable item there is "check for updates." My add-ons are all working, but none show up. Same for Extensions, Appearance, Plugins, Services.
I don't know how long it's been this way, because I've had no need to check until last Friday, when I picked up some malware that slides open a tab from the right-hand side of my screen with "Hot Deals" on it.
Firefox's "Automatically add" option tells me that listed below are my add-ons (though I can't see them in my own Add-ons tab). There are several there I don't recognize at all, but I have no idea how I can remove them without that page properly loading.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
*If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
*Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

Firefox doesn't include PDF extension when saving pdf doc

Problem .. FireFox strips PDF file extension from file name when application option "Portable Document Format (PDF)" is set to "Save File" and when downloading a Fidelity Investment's statement or trade confirmation pdf document.
When I attempt to download and save without previewing a PDF doc on Fidelity Investment website, Firefox does not save the file with the PDF extension. Which results in the file loosing its association with its appropriate viewing app.
However if the firefox \tools\options\applications\"Portable Document Format (PDF)" is changed to either "Always Ask" or "Preview in Firefox" the problem doesn't occur.
Or if the user right clicks the PDF link on the source html page and selects "save link as" the dialog box will ask to save the doc as a PDF and correctly add the PDF extension to the saved file name.
This problem occurs with firefox 28.0 for windows and firefox 28.01 for android.
The problem doesn't appear to occur with chrome or IE. However they don't offer a means to do a single click save.

Yes I noted that method works already..
I was trying to get the "single click save" to function as designed.

Currently the Reader adds "-signed" to the filename. Not good.

I am using Reader XI. I use the Signature (Sign) feature to sign my PDF's. I sign ALL my PDF's prior to sending them out to customers. I do not like the filename to be modified when I sign. Currently the Reader adds "-signed" to the filename. This is a nucense and adds a couple seperate steps to the process due to the SaveAS dialog appearing. If any volume of PDF's is processed this becomes an issue for me. Is there an option or other to prevent the filename from being modified. Thanks in advance.
Max.

Any update on this from Adobe? We have many users who, as part of their workflow, need to add signatures to PDFs, and the filenames need to stay unchanged. At this time, we have to tell them to manually remove the "-signed" text from the end of the filename, which complicates things and is prone to errors.
There needs to be an option to disable this behavior.

My iBooks won't sync PDF information

I've been dealing with this for a long time, for some reason my iBooks on my iPad won't sync PDF information when I update it in my iTunes (i.e. change/add the authors name). When I look in the books section of my iPad on the dropdown in iTunes, the PDFs for which I've changed information just stay gray with a that "recycle" type symbol to the left, even after the sync is done. I can still open the PDFs in iBooks but it just won't let me change the information as to better organize them. This is incredibly frustrating and any advice would help greatly.

It wouldn't with me either. In fact I lost the pdfs from my iPad after changing their names in iTunes and syncing. Then I found you also have to go to the 'books' tab in iTunes and set 'SyncBooks' to 'All Books', and they all appeared back in the right collection. However, that only worked once. I've renamed some more, and possibly some again, and nothing happens. But at least this time I'm not losing files from my iPad.

Nothing shows when going to Tools Add-ons Extensions to delete Yahoo Toolbar.

When going to check my extensions, nothing shows up. All i want to do is delete these crappy toolbars ie/yahoo, vuze.
Nothing seems to be disabled, no recent updates changed anything, but for some reason, I'm just thinking i will have to reinstall Firefox, enable my IE again, and re-download firefox.

Reinstalling Firefox most likely won't help if there is a problem with the current profile.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_toolbars
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Is it possible to add an extension/add-on/plugin to iWork document?

Is it possible to add an extension/add-on/plugin to iWork document that gets called at the time of opening a document and saving a document? This add on will basically see the file type being opened and for specific file types,this add-on will convert the file being opened to iWork format when opening and convert to the custom format when saving.

Numbers has not built-in facility for plugins. It does support Applescript and can, therefore invoke Applescripts from a menu or be included in performing task in an Applescript.

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.

ITunes won't add large files to the library

I use software to convert my personal DVDs into Apple TV format via H.264 decoder for 720p resolution. The resulting files are typically larger than 3GB for a 2 hour movie. Now iTunes won't add them to my library so I can't sync them or stream them to my Apple TV.
Any advice? Is there a setting in iTunes that I overlooked?
I have tried the mpg4 conversion setting for 480 resolution and those files will load into iTunes and stream to Apple TV, but they are grainy and a horrible quality. So for those saying I don't need to use the H.264, I am picky and want a high quality resolution.
Thanks for any advice and help.

It is possible that there is something else wrong with my files. Several mp4 files worked fine prior to getting a new iMac and transferring the files over (using ext HDDs, not the migration wizard). Quicktime won't even open the files in question. It states that they are not movie files.
Sounds odd, they may be corrupted.
Try enusring the file extensions are either .mp4 or .m4v (or .mov perhaps).
3GB+ for a file intended for AppleTv 2 hours long sounds excessive and may exceed AppleTv playback specs but it shouldn'tbother quicktime. If the files don't open in QT they may well be corupted.

How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

Hi DW,
Numbers 3.2.2
Instead of Menu > File > Export To, use Menu > File > Print...
That takes you to Print Preview.
In the Print Setup panel, Click on the Print... button lower right (it won't print yet).
That opens the Print Dialogue.
Click on the PDF Pop-Up Menu lower left.
Choose Open PDF in Preview or Save as PDF.
That will have page breaks and will be full sized.
Print from Preview.
Regards,
Ian.
