Pdf file extension missing on export

That's it really - the pdf file extension is always missing when I export from Pages 09 to PDF. This causes Windows users problems especially when attached to emails. Any way to force Pages to add the extension?

I repeat:
I uses MacOS X since 10.3.
I use iWork since the delivery of iWork '08 then iWork '09.
I never got a document created by a 'modern' application without the extension name appended.
So I continue to think that if an extension is missing it's because the user made something wrong.
Maybe installing a third party component fooling the OS.
They are a lot of such "enhancers" which introduce oddities in the system behavior but I can't guess what is installed on your machine.
Just an example.
I tested on three macIntel machines running 10.5.6 or 10.5.7.
The menu items Format > Font Bold and Italic are always disabled when TextEdit is using "Plain Text" format.
On the machine of a correspondant, the items are enabled in such setting.
I'm quite sure that there is a beast changing the application's behavior but I can't guess which it is.
Back to the Finder setting.
It's not designed to Hide all extensions names.
It it designed to Show all of them or don't show all (which means that some may continue to be displayed).
As far as I know, the behavior is this one:
if a document is save when the Finder is set to "Always display the extensions", unchecking the box will not hide the extension.
if a document is saved when the Finder is NOT set to "Always display the extensions", checking the box will display the extension, unchecking it will hide the extension.
If you use the Finder with the box checked, the extensions of the files created on your machine will always be displayed.

  • PDF file is missing some text while displaying on the iPad

    I have sent a PDF Invoice to my customer, he called me back and said that I must be joking because half the important text is missing.
    I have opened up the PDF on my computer and everything was there, so I was scratching my head... Than he called me back and said that
    he also opened up the file on his computer and the missing text was there. That way we have discovered that the PDF file is for some strange
    reason not displaying some parts of the text. I have checked on my own iPad trying to display it in iBooks, Adobe Reader, directly in a mail app,
    everywhere I could only see a part of the text.
    Can someone please explain to me how to fix this on the iPad or within the PDF itself?
    Thank you.

    Have you tried viewing the page at any different (even just slightly different) magnifications?
    I have what may be a related problem.  I created a PDF file from InDesign's "Export" to PDF feature. (See it at http://www.mydfz.com/pot20/2046today.pdf). When I went to that web page and opened it, I noticed a problem on page 2 as follows:
    The ad for "Duds-N-Suds Laundromat" should say "20, 30, & 40lb Dexter machines" between the company name and their hours. If I click on the icon to show the whole page, that space is blank. If I increase or decrease magnification the text appears. The whole page setting is shown as 86.5%. If I type that specific percentage in the box, the text appears. It is only when I use the whole page icon that the text vanishes.  If I try to access the original file on my own machine, the text in question is visible under all the conditions I tested. I couldn't get it to vanish.
    I just tried to access the web version again and this time the text is missing no matter what I do!  I uploaded a fresh copy of the file but it still won't show the text. Very strange!
    Evidently there is some bug in the rasterization routines but it only manifests under certain non-obvious circumstances. I grabbed screen images of the two states (visible and vanished) and will be happy to email them to anyone interested in pursueing this further.

  • How to set default .PDF file extension for Form Downloads

    I am trying to find a way of setting the PDF file extension when I download forms.
    I author the forms under a Plus subscription and am then downloading the forms under a basic subscription Collaborator account (diffrent person)
    If I don't include .pdf as the file type when downloading a form with a unique name as the Collaborator, it downloads without a file extension.
    Remembering to continually add the pdf file extension is a pain so I'm hoping there is away of setting this as a defaulet for my 'collaborator' account ?

    Firstly, apologies for multiple posts, I received messages saying my comment hadn't posted and also checked my history before re-submitting.
    Okay, the process is
    1. Log in as the Author account and I can rename the file without having to set the extension
    2. Log in as the Collaboartor account - same PC, browser etc and it doesn't save with a default file extension; HOWEVER, I have done this whilst also being logged in on a diffrent browser as the Author
    3 I have just tried logging out as Author and only being in as the collaborator and the form downloaded with a default PDF.
    4. I had someone else log in as the collaborator from thei PC and browser whilst I was still signed inunder my author account and again they were unable to save as PDF by default
    This has me wondering if there is anything at play when you've got multiple Users?

  • NEED AN ADOBE PROGRAM WITH PDF FILE EXTENSION

    I need an Adobe program that has a "PDF" file extension, and that allows me to attach a file + additional files. Thanks....

    Sorry, you really need to explain your question; I cannot understand what you are asking...

    I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

    Which version of Acrobat?
    What app are you printing from?
    Which version of Mac or Windows?
    Do these seem to be normal PDF documents - but just blank pages? How many blank pages?

  • Sending PO via email with pdf file extension

    Good afternoon everyone. We are successfully (in testing) sending out Purchase Orders via External Send to an Outlook email address.  When the user receives the email, it appears that SAPConnect (SCOT) is correctly coverting the file to a pdf (I can open it in Adobe Acrobat), yet the file attachment still shows a ".dat" file extension.
    Where in the process do I need to set up SAP not to send the file out with a .dat file extension (in PDF format), but rather with a .pdf file extension (in PDF format).
    Points awarded for good suggestions/comments

    You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set correctly.
    To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.

  • PDF file pages missing when viewed in Adobe Reader XI

    Hi All,
    I have been made aware of a recent issue when viewing scanned PDF files in Adobe Reader XI. Pages are missing when the PDF file is viewed in Adobe Reader v.11.0.x though all pages are visible when file is viewed in Adobe Reader 10.1.5?
    I can confirm I have checked Show large images option under Preferences -> Page -> Display, though this doesn't appear to have made a difference. I have been able to replicate this same issue on several other machines.
    All machines checked and tested are running Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Never heard of such an issue.  Can you share such a PDF with the forum?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

  • PDF files turns white after exporting from InDesign CS5

    Hi all
    When I export PDF files fom inDesign CS5 they turn out all white when I open them in Acrobat Reader (I´ve tried both in version 9 and the latest version). When I first open the PDF it seems to be ok but as soon as I zoom out it turns white. Anyone have a clue or have experienced the same issues?
    Thanks a lot
    /warpig

    Is this something you can share? Put the PDF on a server someplace and post a link here, if you can. If you don't have your own server, you can use a service like YouSendIt.com.
    What settings are you using for the export? What happens in ID if you go to Preview mode?

  • Viewing pdf files-says "missing plug-in"

    Hello,
    I am trying to view pdf files that I have viewed before with no problem using my macbook pro.  Only now I am getting a message that says "missing plug-in."  I checked for and installed some updates just to be sure.  There were none for any plug-ins any way, and I am still having the problem.  Any suggestions?

    Hi s,
    I recommend to people to download Flash, Perian, Flip4Mac, and VLC. That normally takes care of internet plug ins and playing most file types.
    Have you tried the built in Preview app?

  • Open PDF File, extension mandatory

    When opening a PDF file from Adobe Reader X in WinVista I wanted to enter the file name without extension (.pdf) in the name field (+ Enter).
    Doing this now, Reader answers "File not found".
    I have a setup on another PC with Win7 where this works right out of the box. Should be an option, but I don't know which of them.

    That works for me on Win7 if PDF Files type is selected. No .pdf extension is needed.
    On Vista it won't work and gives "File not found".

  • File extension missing for new blog entry pages

    I have a blog and have created new entries, but I can't publish "because the file does not have a file extension." (I clicked on the publish button and also tried in the menu "Publish to Mac.com." Neither works.
    I thought whatever was necessary to connect a new entry to my blog was created automatically. I'm not even sure what a file extension is. What is it?
    In the Site Inspector I can do nothing. All possible commands are grayed out. Maybe I'm not supposed to make a hyperlink for a file.
    Thanks for any help you can give. Edify

    Will I have to clear the cache every time I want to upload new material?
    you don't have to clear the cache to upload the material, you sometimes have to clear the browser's cache to see your new page,  for the old page in the cache may prevent your browser from displaying the new page properly.
    BTW, the same is true for any visitor to your site - if you change your page frequently and find that you have to empty the cache, then any visitor to your site also will experience the same problem and should know that he/she should empty the cache if the page looks funny.

  • Printing a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign

    Hello! I exported a file from InDEsign to a PDF, but the entire document doesn't print... it get's cut off 3/4 down the way. My page size in InDesign is 5in x 7in and so is my page set-up in PDF when I go to print but it still gets cut-off.

    The physical paper you're printing onto - is it  5 x 7 or lettersize/A4
    If you are printing 5 x 7 image area to a 5 x 7 sheet of paper, you would need a printer capable of boarderless printing. In general, no printing equipment can print to the edges of a sheet, and all vary by different amounts; inkjets having the largest non-print area.

  • .prproj file extension missing in file association preferences Bridge

    I recently updated Bridge and lost my ability to open Premiere Pro projects from Bridge.  The prproj file would open in Media Encoder instead. I could however open the prproj file in Windows Explorer. The following is the fix to add prproj to file association option to Bridge.
    The Steps
    Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (64 Bit)\Resources\Adobe Bridge Opener Preferences.xml
    Right Click on the file named Adobe Bride Open Preferences.xml , select "edit" from the fly out menu. The file will open in "Notepad"
    Expand the Notepad window, scroll to the bottom. Before the statement </openers> copy and paste the following statement.
    app_name="Premiere Pro">  
        <item description="$$$/Bridge/OpenersXML/Description/PremiereProject=Premiere Pro" extensions="prproj" app_name="OS">
         4. Now save the file to the desktop as Adobe Bridge Opener Preferences.xml and close.
         5. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CC (64 Bit)\Resources
         6. Drag the file you saved to the the Bridge Resources folder.
         7. When prompted click "Move and Replace"
         8. Open Bridge and go to Edit> Preferences> File Type Associations
         9. Scroll to the bottom and you will see Premiere ( if you do not you may need to restore to default)
         10. Now you can add the correct File Association to the .prproj file.
    I am not sure if this is an isolated problem, but I thought that this information could help someone out there.

    thanks again... when you look at the directory tree in bridge i see...
    all of the folder and files where of jpeg and i could open and edit 
    here but they would not be edited in iphoto... once i updated to 
    ilife09 they became this...
    also if I go in thru the harddrive to get a picturefrom the pictures 
    folder that you see at the top it sends me here... i now have to 
    access the photo library by the way of the finder to the pictures 
    folder... any thoughts as to how to clean this up and would deleting 
    bridge help remove?
