PDF Preset - making a custom PDF preset the "default" selection

Hello- I always use the same PDF preset when saving pdfs at my job. But every time I go to save a document as a pdf I have to use the drop down menu to choose my preset. Is there anyway to make the program default to my custom preset? This seems to happen automatically in Indesign, but I cannot get it to work in illustrator.
thanks!

I'm having the same issue. The Adobe PDF Presets window (from the Edit menu) lets you add/delete and import/export. However, I see no method to designate a specific preset as the default. So as you describe, I'm having to choose the Preset from the drop-down menu each time. While I can make AppleScripts that utilize the preset I need, it's a pain to have to make the drop-down selection when I'm working on just one file. Since I use a particular PDF Preset +90% of the time, it would be great to have the option to set it as the default. If I find any work around, I'll post it here. Thanks - Josh

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • Selecting custom attributes from the default helpdesk screen?

    Can i select and see custom attributes from the default helpdesk screen?  I dont want to have to click through to the details tab as things can and have been missed.  See picture attached.
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    I have worked out the issue. I was attempting to access attributes from the BOR Object "WorkItem" as opposed to elements in the workflow container. When I created a custom container element called "ReferenceID" (as the element name) and used this in my XML it worked successfully.
    I hope this helps someone else in the future.

  • How to get the default selection color from JTable

    Hi, there,
    I have a question for how to get the default selection color from JTable. I am currently implementing the customized table cell renderer, but I do want to set the selection color in the table exactly the same of default table cell renderer. The JTable.getSelectionBackgroup() did not works for me, it returned dark blue which made the text in the table unreadable. Anyone know how to get the window's default selection color?
    Thanks,
    -Jenny

    The windows default selection color is dark blue. Try selecting any text on this page. The difference is that the text gets changed to a white font so you can actually see the text.
    If you don't like the default colors that Java uses then use the UIManager to change the defaults. The following program shows all the properties controlled by the UIManager:
    http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
    Any of the properties can be changed for the entire application by using:
    UIManager.put( "propertyName", value );

    You could also set the default on your entity or viewobject, in the properties of your attribute.

    Hi Victor,
    I have a simple solution for this.i think it will help you.Do u have any idea about query designer in SAP.
    by using it we can satisfy u r  reuqirement.follow the below steps.
    1)Go to SQ01
    2)In the screen click on QuickViewer option.then you will go to another screen.
    3)In that screen give any name starting with 'Z' in the QuickView box and then click on create.
    4)In the dialogbox enter title and comments and then select LogicalDatabase as the DATASOURCE and give DataSourceLogicalDatabase as EQI.check the radio button Basis Mode and then click on ok.
    5)then on the screen in the first half of leftside you will  get another screen with the columns DATAFIELDS,LISTFIELDS,SELECTIONFIELDS,TECHNICALNAME.
    6)In the DATAFIELDS column expand the tree,then u can see the fields what we have,and what you want.and also you can see the check boxes in front of the columns LISTFIELDS,SELECTIONFIELDS.
    7)LISTFIELDS means the output fields,SELECTIONFIELDS means the selection screen fields(equnr).
    check the checkboxes as per u r requirement and click on execute.
    8)then a progam will be created.to know the program name after executing the program GO TO
    SYSTEM->STATUS.then u can see the program name there.
    If u know all these,let me know so that i can try for another solution.
    Thanks,

    You need to specify "Default Values" in the report parameter property. Choose similar option used in the "Available Values" option, this will allow the parameter to check "Select All".

  • Urgent!How to set the default selected date for an OAMessageDateFieldBean

    Hi,
    There is messagetextinput on the page.the dataType is Date.
    if I do not input anything on this messagetextinput ,when I click on the date icon,the default selected date is today.
    But I want to set the default selected date base on another messagechoice.
    Is that possible?
    binghao.

    Sumit/Binghao,
    When u set deafult date in the OAMessageDateFieldBean, the OAInlineDatePickerBean (which are referring as datepicker popup windows), takes the default value from OAMessageDateFieldBean.
    If you explore OAMessageDateFieldBean in framework, u will find its nothing but a onClick js event is called on the imageicon attached with messagetextinput bean(in case the type is Date) and OAInlineDatePickerBean is opened in a modal js window.
    So, here is code for setting default value both in both in OAMessageDateFieldBean and OAInlineDatePickerBean :
    OAMessageDateFieldBean dateField = (OAMessageDateFieldBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive(<item id>);
    dateField.setValue(pageContext,new Date(100, 06, 04)/* 4th July 2000*/);
    One more important thing, here Date class is java.sql.Date.I hope i am clear.

  • Making Adobe 7.0.5 the default for .pdf files

    I was advised that the way to get Adobe 7.0.5 to be the default, instead of 5.0, was to delete the Adobe applications & files in my system, library, and user folders, including the 7.0.5 app. itself. Then, after everything relating to Adobe is gone, I should re-install 7.0.5 and it would become the default.
    I also heard that Spotlight won't find every Adobe component or extention, so I'd have to do a detailed search and delete each one that way.
    Does this sound right?
    Can't I just delete the 5.0 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and have everthing associated with 5.0 gone? Isn't that the beauty of having a Mac?
    Thanks,

    Hi Greg
    You were poorly advised. Deleting Adobe apps is a headache and completely irrelevant when it comes to making an app the default for a file type.
    Control-click a .pdf file, choose Get Info. In the Info window click the Open With drop down list, choose the app you want, and then click Change All underneath it.
    That should do it. You might find that there is more than one type of .pdf file and you might need to perform this action again at some time, but this should do the job.
    And yes, you can just delete the Acrobat Reader 5.0 folder.

  • How do I make a pdf that can submit a form to the email selected in a combo box?

    I'm trying to be able to have the user of a pdf I'm creating, select an email in a combo box and then hit send and have it send to that email address that was selected.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi,
    I don't think (but may be wrong) that you can do that within InDesign. At the very least, you could draw the form within InDesign but I guess that the interactivity between the list selection and the mail action should be achieved with Acrobat Scripting or LiveCycle Designer if you have it.
    FWIW,

  • Making Open in New Tab the default?

    We're using Safari 3.0.4, and while I'm happy with the Command-click or right-click-and-select options to make a link open in a new tab, my son wants to know if there's a way to make "open in new tab" the default action when simply clicking on ANY link.
    It seems that option exists right now for links within other apps, but not for links within Safari itself. Has anyone figured out a way to do this?
