PDF attachments with same name not being overwitten?

Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone can provide some insight here. Every day, an email with a PDF attachment is automatically generated and sent to some individuals in our organization. The PDF attachment always has the same filename.
Recently one of the recipients, an iPhone user connected via EAS, reports that the PDF attachment "is not updating" - that is, when he opens today's PDF attachment, the actual PDF displayed is a week old.
I've obviously verified that current emails do in fact contain current attachments. I'm not sure what the actual mechanism is but logically it seems that at some point, the iPhone stopped overwriting or renaming those similarly-named PDF attachments and is now only displaying the most recent one it managed to save.
Is there a cache or something that we need to clear here?
Thanks in advance,
Drew

I have this exact problem, really frustrating. No solution yet.

Is there a good way to automate changing existing links to external PDFs to instead be to PDF attachments with same names?

Greetings!
Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
Format of current link in main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
Destination name: P:1
When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: PDF attachment
Page: 1
Zoom level: Fit page
The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11. In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
Thank you,

FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.
Be well...

How to auto populate numerous pdf files with same name and address?

I have numerous pdf files where a company's name and address will need to be entered onto each file. Would there be a way to enter this information once, say on an excel file or something, and then have this information auto populate all the correct fields in each and every pdf file I have to fill out. I am a complete rookie with Adobe Acrobat. At any one's convenience please let me know or point me in a direction where I can possibly learn this for myself. If Adobe offers this type of service please let me know which department to contact.
Thanks,
John

If you were an InDesign user, you could layout the document there, and use the Data Merge feature to bring in the names and addresses from Excel. Then create a PDF of the resulting file which could be split into individual PDFs.
There might be a way to do it similarly with Microsoft Word and Mail Merge.

While saving multiple attachments from mail, files with same name are added and not replaced

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

Mail in Mavericks not replacing existing mail with same name

Mail in Mavericks not replacing existing mail with same name.
Thanks

I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
Please send a fix for this Apple.

When we click on the copy botton record with same name should not be saved

Hi,
Copy button will copy the record with the same name and will save it.our requirement is when we click on the copy botton ,record with same name should not be saved
we are performing this task in custom object 12 and exposed Opportunity Name in the layout.
Records with same Opportunity Name should not save ..when we copy the record
Can we perform any field validation on Opportunity Name field?
Please help
please email me @ [email protected]
Thanks
Srinivas Merugu

Opportunities that are assoicated to the same account cannot have the same name. You cannot make this unique for your whole instance. The only way that you could do this would be to create a webservice application that checks this before you save the record.
What about defaulting the name each time this could make the record unique?

How to create device IDs with same name

i am using SE 3310 and its creating different device ids for each node sharing it . since I will be building a RAC enviornment I need these IDs/name to be same .
for example on one node the lun id is /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s6 but the same lun id on node 2 is /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s6.
In past with an old storage array I fixed this issue by creating links in /dev/rdsk for c3t0d0s6 ---> c2t0d0s6.
my question is : is there a way in SE3310 that device ids get created with same name or do i still have to rely on creating these soft links ?
thanks
Note: since i need the answer to this quickly i will wait a while and then post this question in other forums and i will update the question here with the answer .

This could be a Solaris (I presumed) O.S. question rather than SE3310 or storage question.
The logical device (/dev/[r]dsk/*) is the work of the O.S. when it first configures the device, in this case the LUN from your SE3310.   I can go in depth on how the cX number happens (due to device probe order, driver differences, history of device discovery due to need of persistent device naming, etc...) but ... it's a really long story and is really quite irrelevant and most people should not be interested...
If you have COMPLETELY identical servers, i.e. identical hardware down to specific HBA in specific slot are the same,   and if you make sure that luns are presented to all servers exactly the same way, same order, and any changes are seen by all servers in the same sequence, in theory, all /dev/rdsk/* devices will be consistent across servers.
But that's still rather irrelevant.    Application that is designed to work in a redundant environment should not be dependent on logical devices like /dev/rdsk being the same.
So ... in effect this is also not a question for the Solaris forum, but rather a question for those familiar with RAC, how to configure such that device access is done "safely" through actually identifying the lun rather than assuming /dev/rdsk are consistent.

Automator and applescript to copy new files in a folder with same name as parent folder

I have an iMac with a pictures folder (Finder folder) containing several subfolders with pictures. As per now, all these subfolders are imported into an iPhoto library (and the structure of the Finder pictures folder is thus maintained: The iPhoto events are named the same as the Finder subfolder). I.e. I have not created any albums in iPhoto.
I have also set up a workflow, where new iPhone photos are automatically being synced to specified Finder folders within the iMac pictures folder. So what I want to do is to make a workflow to import potential new photos from week to week into the existing iPhoto structure. I know iPhoto has this Autoimport folder, so this one is unpacked and "mapped". So, this is what I´m hoping to do:
Automator (iCal - want to do this on a weekly basis):
- Get specified Finder items -- set to target folder = iMac pictures folder
- Get folder content (with subfolders)
- Filter Finder items
     - Items from the last 7 days (which then would be any new files created last week)
- Applescript/shell script loop(?)
     - Get folder name for each file´s (from previous step) parent folder
     - Create new folder with same name as the file´s parent folder (if not already existing) under the iPhoto Autoimport folder
     - Copy the given file into the folder from above
- Run iPhoto application (Automator task), which then should just auto import the new photos according to the Finder folder structure
Whith the workflow above, I aim to maintain the existing iPhoto structure, and just import new photos into the existing structure. Creating folder names under the Autoimport, similar as the existing Finder folder names / iPhoto events should make it possible to have the new files imported under the existing event, right?

Anyone?
I have now switched to Aperture (from iPhoto) due to Aperture´s capability to handle Finder folder structure, and due to the possibility of having the pictures within Aperture as referenced files to the pictures within the Finder folders (i.e. possibility to delete pictures from both library and Finder folder at the same time).
So I have a superior Finder folder called "Album". Within "Album" I have several subfolders (sub albums) containing pictures. The "Album" folder with subfolders are imported into Aperture as "Projects and albums", and the pictures are uploaded within the Aperture structure as referenced files. So for now the Aperture structure is more or less a direct mirror of the Finder folder structure, whereas "Album" is the project.
And this is my current workflow in Automator, but I´m searching help with my Applescript:
- Get specified Finder items (target folder = the superior Finder folder "Album")
- Get Folder content
- Filter Finder items (to look for potential new files to import into Aperture)
     - Kind is not folder
     - Date created last X days
The output files from this task enters an Applescript
on run {input, parameters}
       repeat with f in input (**Loop**)
               tell application "Finder"
                      set fileName to name of (f)
                      set parentFolder to name of container of (f)
                      tell application "Aperture"
                             tell library 1
                                    tell project "Album"
                                           if (exists album parentFolder) then
                                             ** I then would like to check if fileName already exist within the existing album**
                                             ** If not existing, I would like to import file f into the existing album as a referenced file**
                                           else if not (exists album parentFolder) then
                                                   make new album with properties {name:parentFolder}
                                            ** I then would like to import file f into the new album as a referenced file**
                                           end if
                                    end tell
                             end tell

Error while uploading document with same name in Document library

Hi,
Whenever I try to upload document with same name in Document library it throws an error. I know its a default behavior but is there any way so that I can upload documents with same name or can we append some unique id with title of the document?
Please suggest.
Thanks

No, unfortunately this is not possible. SharePoint treats the file name as the primary key identifier for a document so if you try to upload a second document with the same name it will assume this is a new version of the file. If you have versioning enabled
on the document library, it will add this as a new version. If not, it will overwrite the original file with the new one.
If you need two documents with the same name, you will have to either place them in different folders within a document library or in different document libraries.

Creation of BPEL with a WSDL having 2 operations with same name

How to create a BPEL 2.0 from WSDL which is having the +2 operation with Same name+ and we are planing to USE PICK activity but the BPEL is giving error while selecting the operation name
can't create input variable.The selected operation does not have an input message.+
WSDL:Operation
     <wsdl:portType name="ABC">
          *<wsdl:operation name="XYZ"*>
               <wsdl:input name="Request1" message="tns:Request"/>

          </wsdl:operation>
     </wsdl:portType>
Can you please provide the alternate solution if the procedure followed by us is wrong
Thanks in Advance

Hi Preetam,
I believe it's not allowed, use different operation name.
A wsdl:portType in a DESCRIPTION MUST have operations with distinct values for their name attributes.
This applies only to the wsdl:operations within a given wsdl:portType. A wsdl:portType may have wsdl:operations with names that are the same as those found in other wsdl:portTypes.
why do you need multiple operation with same message type?

Creating file on network with same name

Hello All,
I have created the A0001BOE20060001.txt file on my machine & i want to create same file with same name on the different machine,
i m able to copy all data in that file & recreate it on the server but i have problem with how to GET same file Name
As i m creating a new file & writing data on the 1.txt which i m creating on the server
How should i recognize the file name & create the same file on the server????

Is this on Windows?
I believe that java.io.File works with UNC paths. For example, if you have a network resource on the share myshare on machine my-pc, you could do something like:
File f = new File( "\\\\my-pc\\myshare\\myfolder\\myfile.txt" );
Note that you have to escape backslashes. You'll also want to be sure that you have permission to access the share - it won't prompt you for a password, so you must have already authenticated using Explorer or net use.
Thanks,
Brian

Can i have xml elements with same name but one is having attrbt..?

Hi all,
I am suppose to take input from one system into BPEL.That system is auto gererating xml file. But that file is strange. It has two xml element with
same name but with completely different sequence. First one is having two comlexTypes while second is having 5 simple types.
Now the difference is First element is having attribute while second is not.
So is that file is correct.?
thanks a lot.
/mishit

can you post the file? or load the file into JDeveloper and check the syntax or use XMLSpy for validation of the XML.

Two soa domain with same name "TestSOADomain" sharing same SOA schema ?

I tried creating two soa domain with same name "TestSOADomain" (different path) sharing same SOA schema .However one domain came UP to Running mode and other domain going to AdminMode and "soa-infra" application of that domain is not active.
I do want to understand can this be possible with SOA ,ie. two soa domain sharing same SOA schema ?
If possible what are all the problems might come
1. While executing soa composites with asyncronous behaviour ?
2. How the polling services will work ?
3. will the XREF_DATA table ROW_NUMBER column inserted uniquely while inserting data from two different domain into same SOA schema ?
4. Other issues ?
Thanks

Each domain is expected to refer to its own unique database schema. Same SOA schema should not be shared by multiple SOA clusters/domains. It is technically possible though, I suppose, and still can run fine any one SOA environment at any given time with the other SOA environments/domains (sharing the same SOA schema) shutdown. It is not the general/recommended practice to share SOA schema across domains and there could be potential implications and unexpected behavior, particularly when the SOA environments pointing to the same schema are all running at a time.

Passing multiple URL parameters with same name

Hi,
I have a question which is not entirely related to Java. But although its related HTTP calls, so I thought I might get some ideas here.
Background:
I am making HTTP URL call from SAP ABAP code. Its pretty much similar to Java (creating URL connection, setting HTTP headers, connecting, receiving response and everything)
For example,
http://service_server:8080/a7/extension.services.SearchRequirements.a7x?RequestStatus=CR&RequestStatus=RR
Now, this service_server runs a query to database where it uses both these values of "RequestStatus" to form 'OR' condition for a field.
Issue:
When I run this URL from browser, it shows XML response containing results for both values. In short, this is the ideal response.
(I am using getParameterValues(string) at service_server to read multiple values for same parameter)
But when I see response in SAP system, I see that it is returning data for only one value of 'RequestStatus'.
I checked the logs of service_server, and I see that it has received only one parameter, not two.
Question:
It seems like SAP systems web server is truncating both parameters with same name and passing just one of them to outside server(??)
Is there any configuration at Web Server side or any HTTP headers to be set so as to avoid this?
Can anybody suggest something on this?

I managed to resolve this issue by using HTTP 'Post' method to send the data.
