  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Possible to associate file extension with webstarted app?

    A common property of microsoft apps is to associate file extensions with specifiec apps.
    For example, when you double click on a .xl file, Excel is launched.
    Can the same kind of thing be done for Webstarted apps? If so how?

    I have an idea on how to do this, but I have not tried it.
    1. On first launch, the application does an "install" before starting the main screen.
    2. The install checks the OS, and writes a .sh or .bat file to disk. That batch file runs the command-line to start the application. Hmm, but how does it pass along $*?
    3. The install associates the proper file extension with the .bat file, and/or with the unix file manager software, and/or with IE, Netscape, and Mozilla.
    Then, when a user clicks on a link to a document, or a file in the windows explorer, then the JWS application should lanch and load the file(s).

  • Opening pdf files encrypted with private *.p12 key (ANDROID)

    Hi,
    I was curious if acrobat reader will be equipped with this functionality?
    I have secured pdf files signed with private *.p12 certificate key.
    I have installed certificate in Android settings, but I still pdf files won't open. It's says this functionality is not supported.
    Is there anything I'm doing wrong? This is SHA 256 something. In other pdf readers it says secured with "adobe.pubsec"
    Please respond,  I'll provide any details You want.

    Currently we are not supporting this functionality with Reader on Android.
    We have noted down your request and will try to incorporate the same in future releases.
    Thanks,

  • PDF files created with Primo PDF or Progeny PDF printer

    I am working on a computer with Windows Vista on it and I now have a problem when I create a PDF using the Primo PDF printer, or the Progeny PDF printer -- if Adobe is already open with a file, the new file appears with fuzzy colors. When I close Adobe, the files seem normal. Any idea why this happens? Has anybody had the same problem?

    Not a known problem. And the "already launched" problem points to an issue with Reader.
    Please submit some samples with a bug report for Reader to debug.
    Here is what the issue looks like (click to zoom) :
    On the left side is the PDF file opened with no other instances of Adobe Reader open. On the right side is what the exact same file looks like when opened after another instance of Reader (displaying another PDF file) was already open.
    It's as if the font rendering engine was incapable of multi-threading. Like Reader can only render the font properly if the PDF file in question is the only one it's got in RAM.
    Worth noting :
    Opening a 2nd PDF file with distorted fonts does not affect the first open PDF. That one continues to display normally. Only every subsequent instance of Reader will have this issue.
    Files were saved normally via Photoshop CS5, although this issue has been present for at least 2-3 versions if not more (only started saving PDF's around that time - it's quite possible this was ALWAYS an issue).
    This is strictly a SCREEN RENDERING ISSUE. The PDF file prints to paper just fine with uncorrupted fonts no matter how it looks on-screen.
    As mentioned earlier in the thread, this happens across multiple computers. Whether I create the PDF via Photoshop CS3 in WinXP or via Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 on a completely different computer... it will have the same issues. Tried it at work, too -- miles away from home. Same issues. Graphic cards are also from different makes, and display the same issue.
    This happens to every single font in the document, regardless of how common or obscure a font it is. In this case, it's Helvetica Neue.
    Again, because this important : even if the fonts look distorted on-screen, they will print out on paper just fine. This is a screen rendering issue.
    Default PDF settings, no layers, vector data non-rasterized.
    Hope this helps.

  • Will going from Reader 3.1 to 5 cause loss of any files stored as PDF files done with 3.1?

    Presently use Firefox Reader v. 3.1.4. Many files on my desk computer, operating on XP Pro, are stored in PDF files done with the 3.1.4 version. If I up date to the new 5.0 will these old files still open? Or will they be lost?
    Worse case if FireFox Reader was to be removed from my computer what happens to these older files that were saved using Firefox Reader 3.1.4?
    I am not experiencing any problems now, but the above questions are a concern, especially as this old computer continues to age.
    Thanks very much,

    Hi, thanks for the very quick reply, although it doesn't really answer my question. As for not finding a Fire Fox Reader vr. 5 you should go to this link.
    http://download.cnet.com/Foxit-Reader/3000-10743_4-10313206.html
    I'd appreciate any comments you have about this PDF reader in regard to my original question.
    It all could be a mute point, mush like changing versions of Adobe, nothing seems to be lost or changed in the saved pdf files when changing versions in Adobe. Possibly Fire Fox 5 operates the same.

  • Associate .indd file extension with CS6

    I have not been able to associate the file extension with CS6 in Windows Vista. The .indd extension is already taken by another application, yet when I try to change it, it does not save.

    While highly unlikely as the reason, Vista was not tested and is not supported for CS6.
    What “other application” has the INDD association? Is it a different version of InDesign? Did you install the other version AFTER CS6?

  • I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

    I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements).  I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled.  I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files.  No problem viewing acrobat files.  I'm runnnig Windows 7,  IE9.     I can acces them through Chrome.

    RESOLVED
    I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
    1) - Libre Office - latest update.  This is a fork of Open Office.  (unlikely)
    2) - ManyCam video manipulation software  (likely)
    Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive.  When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!).   When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
    I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
    This resolved the problem 100%.
    So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems.  They may be running or installing an older version.  In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
    Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
    Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project.  Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well.  In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
    So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens.  In my case that fixed the problem.

  • Associate file extension with air app on Android

    Hi,
    I am trying to associate a file extension with my air app on Android. My goal is to be able to start my app by clicking on a file with a specific file type from either a file manager or mail app. I have found a solution that in theory would work in native, but does not with air somehow.
    In the .xml-file for the app, under the <android> tag I have written:
    <activity>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data android:scheme="file" />
                <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.csml" />
                <data android:host="*" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    Does anyone have an idea how this could be solved?
    Thanks in advance
    Jens

    If it works in a native app, it should also work in an AIR app in this case. Can you verify that it does work in a native app?

  • How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

    How to make a PDF file short ( with less memory)?

    @nalinss
    There are two ways: "Save as.." usually optimises size, but there is also "Optimize PDF" in the menu with many options what to exclude and to reduce in quality. Be careful here, as pictures can become very bad.
    A note: the size of a PDF vastly depends on from what source it is created. For example, if you draw some vector graphics in Visio and print to Adobe Printer, the resulting PDF is usually quite small in file size. Opening it in Illustrator and saving it again after you, let's say, just moved one line, can make it 10x as big. This is due to big overhead, Illustrator creates and this can not be reduced anymore in Acrobat later on. Sometimes it helps to convert or "save as" such an inflated PDF to a different format like EPS or HTML and print or convert again to PDF.
    So, if you created the PDF yourself and you still have the source, you may adjust settings in the export/print dialog to make it smaller.
