Photoshop creates wonky file permissions after different user modifies file and saves over

We have a fileserver sharing out files to Windows clients using samba service on Mac OSX Server 10.6.5.
We have weird permissions issue with psd files in Photoshop CS5 64 bit.
A user (userx) belonging to the group wheel creates a file called version1.psd
POSIX
ACL
user Read & Write
wheel Read & Write
others Read & Write
A different user (usery) opens version1.psd, makes some modifications and save it out as version2.psd
POSIX
ACL
usery Read & Write
wheel Read & Write
others Read & Write
Now userx opens version2.psd and makes modification and saves the current file. Userx can nol onger access the file he just saved.
POSIX
usery Custom
ACL
userx No Access
wheel Read & Write
others Read & Write
This led me to test modifying original file (version1.psd) and save. It does the same thing.
Don't understand why it has this behaviour. Is this some kind of bug with photoshop as when we do modifications outside of Photoshop, permissions are always fine? Thanks ahead for any help.

We have solved our issue.
After running Adobe updates on machine that uses CS6 and then re-starting that machine, our issue seems to have disappeared.
Hope this helps others.
Best of luck.

Password security - set permissions for different users

I am using Abobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
In the HELP menu, there is a security section in the contents, In the overview, it states the following:
"Each security method offers a different set of benefits. However, they all allow you to specify encryption algorithms, select the document components to encrypt, and set permissions for different users."
I would like to know how you can set permissions for different users using Password Security.
I am the only one in the company who has Acrobat 9 Pro and all others have Adobe Reader 8.
I have created a PDF file in Acrobat 9, this file is accessible to anyone with Abobe Reader. I would like to set different permissions for different users. For example, i would like certain individuals to print the document and other individuals to not be allowed to print. Can this be acheived using Password Security?
Many Thanks

Cannot create PS file and PDF in Framemaker 9

I'm using Version 9.0p196.
When I used the "Advanced Save" to save an .fm file to a pdf, I got the message "The specified printer 'N/A' cannot be found, use printer 'Adobe PDF' instead. After I click OK, it said "cannot create PS file", and "failed to create PDF file.
It worked fine before.This problem was occurred after I copied some fonts to the following locations:
C:\Windows\Fonts
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker9\fminit\fonts\adobe
Those fonts are:
timesbd.ttf
times.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Regular.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Italic.ttf
HelveticaWorld-BoldItalic.ttf
HelveticaWorld-Bold.ttf
I have no idea if that's the cause of the problem. Does anyone know?
By the way, the FM 9 is running on XP.
Thanks,
Meggie

Meggie,
You may or may not have created a mess with fonts. I would try not to have duplicate fonts, it is totally sufficient to have them in C:\Windows\Fonts.
But your FrameMaker verson is definitely four (4) patches behind. The current version is 9.0.4 (9.0p255) and you can get the updaters here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows
You have to install them one after another.
Some of the patches improved the Save as PDF feature.
For further communication, please add your OS version and Acrobat version.

I am having problems creating PDF file and downloading them

I am having problems creating PDF file and downloading them

Hi Randy Keil,
You might need to sign up with your Adobe ID and password at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf"
Then you can choose the desired files to create the PDF.
Now, let me know what error message do you get while doing the same.
What kind of files are you trying to convert to PDF?
Have you checked with your internet connection and tried using a different browser?
Hope to get your response.

Anubha

F110 Automatic Payment: Create payment file and create remittance

Hello,
I'd like to know the steps to create payment file and remittances in Automatic payment process (F110).
Thanks in advance

Hello Emanula,
payment medium entries are customized in "payment method Country details". You have to decide whether you want to use the PMW or the classical paymentprogram.
The paymentadvices are generated from the paymentprogram by using the parameters from the CC-data of the paymentmethod - Box "Payment advice control".
At least: Don't forget to maintain the parameters in f110 "Printout/data medium"
Hope this gives you a help.
Best regards
Horst

How can i setup pages to automatically open when double clicked. Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

Hi Karen,
Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
Close the info window.
Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.
Regards,
Barry

Combine functionality Batch Create Multiple files and Set Security

Greetings,
Is there any way to combine the functionality of Acrobat Pro’s “Batch Create Multiple Files” (File (drop down) -> Create PDF -> Batch Create Multiple Files…) and running a batch process (Advanced -> Document Processing -> Batch Processing -> Batch Sequences -> Set Security)?
Ideally I’d like to either:
1) Add the “Set Security” batch process to the “Batch Create Multiple Files … command located under the File (drop down) -> Create PDF
or
2) Be able to create a batch process that first allows me to select the documents (Word, Excel, etc.) I want to convert into PDF files, then converts them, then runs the Set Security batch process.
Right now it isn’t too much trouble to first “Create Multiple Files…” then run the batch process Set Security, but it would be nice to be able to do both with a single command.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
TPK

How to create a file and store its contents into another file?

Hi,
I'm having some trouble trying to create a code where I have to to create a file and store its contents into another file?
I read the API, but I'm not certain how this file thing works.
Here's my code so far:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
          File file = new File("tasks.txt");
          if (file.exists())
               System.out.println("File already exists");
               System.exit(0);
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
          Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(System.in);
          //Scans the input line by line
          scan.useDelimiter("\\n");
          //Scans the input by tabs
          scan2.useDelimiter("\\t");
          PrintWriter outputs = new PrintWriter("newtasks.txt");
          outputs.print("ok");
          outputs.println(3);
          outputs.close();
     }

I managed to change my text into uppercase, but how do I store the uppercase content into another file.
-So this is what I did so far, I took a text file and modified its strings to uppercase.
-Now I need to put those modified strings into another text file, is there a way where I can do that with my current code?
-I already tried printwriter, but it doesn't seem to work
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
          //Task[] oneHundredTasks = new Task[100];
          String uppercase;
          String combine;
          Scanner scan = null;
          FileInputStream in = null;
        FileOutputStream out = null;
        PrintWriter output = null;
        try
             scan = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("tasks.txt")));
             scan.useDelimiter("\\n");
             scan.useDelimiter("\\t");
            while (scan.hasNext())
                 if(!scan.hasNext())
                      scan.next();
                 combine = scan.next();
                 uppercase = combine.toUpperCase();
                 System.out.println(uppercase);
        finally
            if (scan != null)
                scan.close();
        //The program will try the input and output files
        try
             in = new FileInputStream("tasks.txt");
            out = new FileOutputStream("newtasks.txt");
            int c;
            //The number "-1" is used to indicate that it has reached the end of the stream.
            while ((c = in.read()) != -1)
                out.write(c);
        finally
            if (in != null)
                in.close();
            if (out != null)
                out.close();
     }

Read multiple files and save all into one output file(AGAIN)

Hi, guys
I need your help for reading data from multiple files and save the results into one output file. When files are selected from file chooser, my program read the data line by line , do some calculations and save the result into the output. I made an array to store input files and it seems to be working fine, but when it comes to SaveFile() function, issues NullPointException message.

Sorry about the long lines.
As you can see, all input files saved in array called files, however when OpenFile1() function is called, it take input (fileName_in) as a single file not an array. I'm assuming this causes the exception.
When there's muptiple inputs, program should take each file from getFileName() to outputToFile() sequentially.
Does anybody have an idea to solve this?
Thanks a lot!!

you naming convention is confussing. you should follows Java naming convention..you have a getXXX but decalred the return type as "void"...get usully means to return something...
your code is doing too much..and hard to follows..
1. get the selected files
for each selected file
process the file and return the result
write out the result.
/** close the precious resource */
public void closeResource(Reader in){
    if (in != null){
        try{ in.close(); }
        catch (Exception e){}
/** get the total number of line in a file */
public int getLineCount(File file) throws IOException{
    BufferedReader in = null;
    int lineCount = 0;
    try{
        in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
        while ((in.readLine() != null)
            lineCount++;
        return lineCount;
    finally{ closeResource (in); }
/** read the file */
public void processFile(File inFile, File outFile) throws IOException{
    BufferedReader in = null;
    StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
    try{
        in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inFile));
        String line = null;
        while ((in.readLine() != null){
            .. do something with the line
            result.append(....);
        writeToFile(outFile, result.toString());
    finally{ closeResource (in); }
public void writeToFile(File outFile, String result) throws IOException{
    PrintWriter out = null;
    try{
        out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(outFile, true)); // true for appending to the end of the file
        out.println(result);
    finally{ if (out != null){ try{ out.close(); } catch (Exception e){} } }

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

Not able to edit assets in Illustrator/Photoshop and save over existing assets in Edge animation

Not able to edit assets in Illustrator/Photoshop and save over existing assets in Edge animation to update image changes. Has Adobe changed this capability with new releases? Does this mean to update an asset on the Edge animation timeline, you have to copy and paste all the animations of that old asset over to the new imported asset?

Hi, CamShazam-
You should be able to save over existing assets in the images/ folder, then close and reopen the file. The other option is to save your assets and then use the swap image option in the properties panel. Is this what you're talking about? Thanks,
-Elaine

Photoshop creates wonky file permissions after different user modifies file and saves over
