PDF file names changed in iBooks with iOS 8 upgrade

I just downloaded iOS 8 on my iPad air. This has caused the file names of all of my PDFs in iBooks to revert to their original file name when I downloaded the file, not the custom file names I gave them after downloading the files. In the list of files it shows the original PDF name; however, in the banner above the open file it shows the custom name I gave it. How do I easily change the file names back to the custom file names that I renamed after the downloads? Essentially I want to have the file name in the banner replace the file name in the list. I have thousands of files, so doing them one at a time is not practical. Thanks for your help.

The strange thing is: the correct name is still available in the headline of the pdf file when opened. its only wrong in the overview...

Ibooks ver1.5 pdf file name changed

After updating to version 1.5 (700) of iBooks on my iPad (ver1, iOS version 5.01), almost all of my pdf file names in iBooks are changing once I open those items. Some of the files change to what appears to be a property of the PDF file such as "Microsoft Word - (orginal file name)print.doc(x)" and other just get blanked out all together. The files names in iTunes when I connect my iPad seem fine, but within iBooks on the iPad it is a mess. Any ideas? My understanding is that the way to manage files names for PDFs in iBooks is through iTunes, but right now they seem out of sync.

Me too...I just filed a bug on the apple ipad support page. I guess after they see hundreds of filings of the same bug we'll have their attention :-) Obviously the latest IOS 5 iBooks update was not thoroughly
tested...
I've also noticed that not only are the names of my titles changing back to the metadata names in the original PDF when I open the PDF in iBooks but that changes I make in iTunes to the category of a PDF never sync
to my iPad 2
Like others I have hundreds of PDF titles on my iPad2 ...when the document titles/names/categories become unintelligible or won't update I can'tmanage my library and it makes iBooks almost useless. I tried but
don't seem to be able to correct the problem by updating the PDF book "Info" in iTunes and forcing a re-sync.

PDF files on iPad's iBooks won't sync with iPhone's iBooks

I have many downloaded PDF files saved in my iBooks app on my iPad. They are work documents so nothing that I purchased from the store. I have everything set to sync in my iBook settings, but when I look in iBooks on my iPhone, only the folders synced, not the actual documents. Is there a way to get them to sync?

Even though they aren't iTunes purchases you should be able copy them from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer) - you can then sync them to your iPhone.
The sync bookmarks and sync collections settings won't copy items between your devices, it will just keep the the books/PDFs that you have on both devices in-line with each other e.g. if you have a PDF on both and you move it into a collection on one device then it will put into the same collection on the other device.

Mail Notification with Custom Subject, Mail Body and PDF File Name

I have successful configured the Action Profile to send SmartForm Mail as PDF. But i would like to modify the Subject, PDF File Name & add text to mail body when a mail is sent to the user.
The Subject of the Mail is the same as the PDF file name. How to maintain a pre-defined file name for the PDF file.

Change default pdf file name

Hi,all
How can I change a default pdf file name from unknown.pdf to something else?
Regards,
Michael
Edited by: Michael Beilin on Feb 6, 2008 9:47 AM

HI Michael,
Yes you can do that,
Just do something like
     IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("PdfSource");
     ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
     IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
     binaryType.setFileName("TravelRequest.pdf"); // Set file name
     binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF); // set the mime type
for example in the doInit() before providing the file for download

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. Please help me out. I just want to read a PDF file as bytes from one location and write it as another pdf file in some other location with a diolog box prompting to open or save in the location where we want.
I executed the following code:
try{
File report =new File(location);
BufferedInputStream in=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(report));
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + report.getName());
OutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
int readlen;
byte buffer[] = new byte[ 256 ];
while( (readlen = in.read( buffer )) != -1 )
outs.write( buffer, 0, readlen );
outs.flush();
outs.close();
in.close();
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
} catch (FileNotFoundException fileNotFoundException) {
PrintWriter out= response.getWriter();
out.print("<center>"+PxDSLUtils.getApplicationProperty("label.error.CTM_E017")+"</center>");
Though it prompts with open, save dialog box when i try to open directly or when i save it some where locally and then open it i am getting the following message " File is repaired ot damaged.Operation failed." Any idea about what can be done??? Its very urgent.Please suggest.
I am not convetin to string just reading and writng as bytes itself.
Thanks in advance,

Saving/exporting issue in Windows 7-file name changes when trying to navigate

I just got Windows 7 on my computer and am running ID CS5. The weirdest problem happens when I try to save as or export a file. The dialog box comes up and normally, I would be able to select a folder I want to navigate to just by typing the folder name, but what is happening is that the first letter goes to a folder, but upon typing the second letter, it starts changing the name of my file.
So for example, I am saving a file ABC.indd and I go to navigate to save it in a folder called Project XYZ. When I type in "P" to get to that folder name, it jumps right to the first folder starting with P. However, upon typing "r" my file name changes from ABC.indd to "r.indd." If I kept typing, it would become "roject XYZ.PDF."
This happens when saving as a file or if I am exporting a PDF. Our entire marketing department or 6 people was recently upgraded from XP to 7 and we all have this problem in ID. This does not happen in Illustrator or Photoshop and it has our IT department baffled. It is driving us crazy though because we make dozens of files a day and now have to manually scroll through long file structures when exporting PDFs, which is so time consuming, not to mention aggravating.
In searching for this problem, I found another poster on a different website who has the same issue, but no one had any suggestions.

Tell whomever is emailing the file to zip it first.

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

Default for opening pdf files keeps changing back to 'save file' after I set it to open in firefox

Since upgrading to the latest Firefox version, my options for opening adobe pdf files have changed. I set it to 'use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox', it works absolutely fine, then some time over the next few days it changes itself back to 'save file'. Then I have to open options and change it again. This happened to me some years back with a much earlier version of Firefox - I can't remember how it was resolved, I think it just stopped doing it after a while. But it is most irritating!

I echo the request for Help! I've added Options to my Toolbar so I can more easily change "Save File" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" as the default. Why does Firefox keep reverting to the save file default?

CS4 Photoshop.exe file name changes

Has anyone had the CS4 Photoshop.exe file change names? I have had this happen on a couple of computers, one machine it happened twice. When CS4 is installed, the Photoshop file name is Photoshop.exe, at some point, the file name changes to PHOTOSHOP_CS4.EXE. I'm going to check with our sys admins to make sure they aren't doing some software push that might be changing it, but thought I would post here in case it was a known issue.

When you find the culprit you might let him know that different Photoshop versions always live in different Program Files subfolders.

I recently signed up for a one month trial of adobe pro. I logged in. I cannot convert a single page of PDF file to word or Excel with this trial. I just get the request to sign up for a year. What good is the trial if I can't try it?

Hey vcomfort6,
Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
Hope to hear from you.

Can we control the PDF file name that is generated by BI Publisher based on the content in the input PDF

can we control the PDF file name that is generated by BI Publisher based on the content in the input PDF?

No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.
