Prompted to save changes before closing when there's been no changes

When opening some PDFs I am prompted with thie dialog box "Do you want to save changes to .........before closing?".
This is not displayed for all PDFs I open, just some.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can stop this message being displayed?
We have version Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 running on XP SP3.
Thanks for your help.

I don't see the "being repaired" message, but it likely just disappears before I can see it. Given that, Adobe Reader's behavior makes sense - the document has been repaired, so it has been changed.
The bad files I had were downloaded a while ago from ProQuest and produced by "image2pdf.c". It looks like they were aware of the problem, because if I download the same document now, it looks the same, but the PDF file is a different size and the problem does not occur.
Thanks for your help.

Reusable prompt to save changes component

Using jsf/adf 10.1.3.4. I've implemented a reusable prompt to save changes component as described in john's blog (http://stegemanoracle.wordpress.com/page/3/). In that blog he mentions some questionable/buggy behavior regarding the dialog framework. Specifically, there's an issue with using something other than partialSubmit="true" on the component that launches the dialog box. Using something other than partialSubmit="true" on the button/link results in not being able to navigate in the return listener of the dialog. I think I'm a victim of a similar issue and wanted to see if there were any ideas/suggestions.
I'm launching my dialog using partialSubmit = "true" on the commandButton and my navigation (in the return listener) is not working in a certain scenario. I think what is causing the navigation not to work is the fact that on my page I have an input text that fires a value change listener method, which means the autoSubmit property on that inputText is set to 'true'. If the user changes a value in that inputText (w/o tabbing out of that field) and immediately clicks the button that launches the dialog, the navigation after dialog closes doesn't happen. If I change the inputText value, then tab out (firing the autoSubmit), then click the button that launches the dialog, navigation occurs properly when the dialog closes. Am I stuck with this limitation or is there some workaround? I was also curious as to whether this type of thing has been addressed in the latest 11g version, as we're thinking about migrating our apps soon. Thanks.

Hi kcjim,
11g has capability for this behaviour out-of-the-box, so no need to use my approach there. I was never able to find a satisfactory solution in 10.1.3.x to the issues described.

Prompting to save as new document when trying to save over existing document

I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm having a problem with saving changes to PDFs. If, for example, I sign or insert pages into a PDF and attempt to save those changes (mind you these are documents which I have already created and saved locally), I receive a warning that the document name is taken (which of course it is because I am trying to save changes to an existing document) and that I must select a new one in order to save. Essentially, I am being forced to Save As when all I want to do is Save. Does anyone have any idea why thsi might be happening?

Thank you very much for your responses. The final post on the forum at the link you provided explains the issue. It appears to be some sort of conflict with the Windows Explorer document previewer that is causing this. Whenever I am previewing the document I am working with in the Explorer, I cannot save changes. As soon as I preview a different document, the changes can be saved without any problems. In the interest of providing further information so that a more permanent solution can be found, I am running Windows 7 and have had this problem with Acrobat 9 and X. Files are being saved locally. Unfortunately, I do not have the savvy to tell you what kind of server.

ADF Faces + BC 10.1.3: prompting to save changes after any navigation

Hello all,
Working on an application that uses ADF Faces + Business Components. We're using the PanelPage component and using a menu tree model bean specified in faces-config.xml for the menu1, menu2, and menu3 facets of the PanelPage.
What we'd like to be able to do is, regardless of what page the user is on, be able to check if the user is trying to navigate via the menu without having saved changes and then prompt them "do you want to save your changes" with a Dialog.
Creating the dialog is the part I know how to do, but how could I, in a generic way:
a). Have some code execute during the navigation. I assume this is a custom ADFPhaseListener/FacesPageLifecycle class, but not sure.
b).Detect whether the model has uncommitted changes. I assume this is something on the Application Module, but could not figure this out.
Has anyone done something like this before?
Thanks for any insight into this.
Regards,
John

OK, gang, here's an update:
I wanted to try to, in a generic way, capture changes that have happened to the data without having to go through a change listener on each field. Since my pages are all based upon BC View Objects with underlying Entity Objects, I have cobbled together some code (with lots of stuff hard-coded for now) that is able to tell me whether the data has been modified or not. The way I have the code right now, it works if the page is based upon one view object that has one underlying entity. Extending this to a view object that has multiple entities should be relatively straightforward (just loop through all of the entities and look for modifed status, instead of looking at only the first one).
    System.out.println("Starting the test");
    FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    Application app = ctx.getApplication();
    ValueBinding bind = app.createValueBinding("#{data.AppModuleDataControl.dataProvider}");
    AppModuleImpl svc = (AppModuleImpl) bind.getValue(ctx);
    ViewObject v = svc.findViewObject("InputSheetView1");
    ViewRowImpl vri = ((ViewRowImpl)vo.getCurrentRow());
    EntityImpl ei = vri.getEntity(0);
    int i = (int) ei.getEntityState();
    System.out.println(Entity.STATUS_NEW);
    System.out.println(Entity.STATUS_UNMODIFIED);
    System.out.println(Entity.STATUS_MODIFIED);
    System.out.println(Entity.STATUS_DELETED);
    System.out.println(Entity.STATUS_DEAD);
    System.out.println(Entity.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
    System.out.println("The answer is");
    System.out.println(i);
    System.out.println("Finishing the test");Now, how to make this generic. How could I, from the page's backing bean:
1). Determine the name of the data control(s) used on the page? Alternatively, how to determine the name of the application modules used by the page? I know this information is in DataBindings.cpx, but how to find it programatically?
2). How to determine which View Objects from the AM's are used on the page? I know this is in the PageDef, but again, how to do this programatically?
Thanks for any ideas?
Regards,
John

Preview doesn't prompt to save changes

I have finally made the switch from Windows PC to a new iMac 21" with Mac OS X Yosemite. However I have found that any information I have entered into PDF forms on a PC is lost when Preview saves the file.
I tend to use the excellent free Foxit PDF reader on PC but there isn't a Mac version available.

I also have this issue on my Dell XPS 15 laptop with the Nvidia Geforce 540M and the temporary fix is turning off hardware acceleration.

How to suppress the Save Dialog before closing the form?

Dear all,
I created a form which will open a data connection on a button click.
I catch the error on failure and code to close my form by app.execMenuItem("Close");
but a Save Dialog will appear before I can close it.
(may be because I have done something on opening the form),
is it able to suppress it? Or simply cannot?
Best Rgds.

but it seems that after event.target.closeDoc(true);
the codes that follow will continue to run,
but this doesn't happen if I use app.execMenuItem("Close");
I already include the closeDoc inside the try catch.

Prompt to Save Changes

I am writing an application using WPF and C#. This application is using Navigation Service. I currently have a page defined which has several textboxes for the end user to fill in which will ultimately be sent to a SQL database.
What I need to know is how to prevent the user from navigating away from the page if the information entered has not been saved. I know how to do this if were to place a button on the page which would allow the user to navigate to another page, but
not if the user uses the navigation arrows.
Thank you.

The nav service raises the
Navigating event before the request is processed. Handle this event and cancel it if you don't want navigation to continue.
Please post further WPF questions in the WPF forums. This forum is for general C# questions unrelated to UI technologies.

If I upgrade to the plan that allows 5000 responses per form, is that 5000 per month? What happens when there have been over 5000 responses?

What happens when a form reaches the 5000 responses limit? Is the limit refreshed?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

Can dreamweaver cs5.5 create a user login for a website when there has been no coding to do so?

Hi everyone...I'm having a little problem and it's blowing my mind...I created my web
site using dreamweaver cs5.5, the free download, and I uploaded the site to the web.
However, my site is asking for a username and password to get into it. I've been searching
the web for answers and asking everyone I know, and haven't found one that is helpful. I've
been reading that the user actually needs to create the page for this to happen, which I did
not. I don't know much about cold fusion, but it seems like this is the way to create the
dialogue box, which again I did nothing of the sort. Please if anyone can help me, that
would be awesome...thanks.

ok...so here's a link to my website http://www.axeinthearm.com ...if you open it in explorer it won't let you close the window, so
check it out in firefox...I didn't install any wordpress or drupal...I have also contacted my web host provider and they
said it must be something with the program I made the site in...I have also tried deleting the files and reuploading them and
still the same thing...further, in the creation of the site I used photoshop with slices...this is really confusing...any suggestions?

Adobe Reader X prompting me to save changes every time I close a document! Please help

I open the PDFs and when I close it, it asks me "Do you want to save changes before closing", when there are no changes made!
This is such an inconvenience, please help to solve the issue. I tried to go to Edit -> Preferences -> Documents -> and unchecked Save settings options, but it didnt work

Thanks Pat. It so happens that I myself am the author of these PDFs. Is there something I need to change (settings etc) and rebuild these files, so the issue doesnt recur? BTW, I am using Adobe FrameMaker 11 to create the docs.
If there is a link which addresses this issue, please point me to that.
Thanks in advance....

Save changes when there are no changes

Why is it that when I open a subvi and close it making absolutely no changes, I'm prompted to 'save changes'?

Hi wb2nvy,
"Why would anyone NOT want to include the subvis when the main vi is recompiled to a newer version?"
Maybe you have linked to subVIs also used with the older LV version and so don't want to save subVIs automatically?
As said before: no other IDE I know of automatically saves referenced files to a newer version...
And:
You should get asked to save subVIs before closing the mainVI. You always have the option to save them. You always are presented with reason why LV wants to save. You always have to decide between saving or not saving... You always have the mass compile option.
It's your duty to decide when to upgrade VIs - LV will and cannot take that decision!

Would you like to save changes.. no changes to save

hi guys, I currently have a master detail relationship but i have a problem. When a query is entered in my master block it automatically queries the detail block, this is fine, however , if i then want to enter a new query, thus entering query mode in the master block I get a prompt asking me if i want to save changes, but I havent made any changes.
I do however have an idea for the cause of the problem. I have 2 non database items on my detail block which are just there to provide additional information to the user. How they work is that when the id from the detail block is brought back I have in a post query trigger that I open a cursor and bring data back from another table and display it to the user in these NON database items. however i did not think this would cause a prompt to save changes as this inforrmation was going into a non databse item. I am simply assuming this is my problem.
Anyone any ideas how I could resolve this?
Thank you.

Hi user13390506
i do agree with Ahmed; no Tricks needed it's obvious and strait forward that's to say i supposed that u did the following ...
1. created Lov for the FK ( id) selecting the id and desc
2.u returned the selected id from the Query to the FK (id) in the form
3.u can display it or set it's width to 0
through previous steps u garanteed returning the id just once as u selected it from ur form at runtime during the insertion process.
On Post-Query Trigger ....
This trigger functionality is to display only the desc or the name of the item related to the FK (id) in ur current form that is already existed in a related Look-up table or whatever...
Through this u display data that can't be displayed by ur current table but related to another table u can get it through using the id currently fetched from the db
By using the Post-Query u may cause the same id to be stored Twice which is useless,wasting time,and effort upon u and the db itself.
Hope i clear it as i recognize it.
Best Regards,
Abdetu...

PDFMaker causes prompt to save normal template to appear

I have Word 2003 configured so that it prompts to save the Normal template when I close Word. This used to work just fine, only prompting when I made actual changes to Normal.dot, until I had Acrobat 9 Standard installed. Then it started prompting every single time I closed Word, even when I did not make any changes to Normal.dot.
This is a known issue. Microsoft Support Knowledge Base article 291352 says to remove add-ins. When I removed the PDFMaker (PDFMCustom.dot) add-in, the prompt behaved normally. When I reinstalled PDFMaker, the prompt started appearing every time.
Does anybody know a work-around that does not involve removing PDFMaker? I need that functionality. I am not afraid to edit the registry.

I also have this issue on my Dell XPS 15 laptop with the Nvidia Geforce 540M and the temporary fix is turning off hardware acceleration.

Can't save changes to forms in access 2010 db format 2007

Access 2010 - file format Access 2007 cannot save design changes
On a previously designed form which works, I went back to change a check box from enabled "Yes" to "No" - I am then prompted to save changes and I click "Yes" but the form will not save or close. To close the form I must select "No" to the changes and they
are lost. If I return to form view the changes are also lost when I close.
I have exclusive access to the DB and per some other suggestions I have checked the box to open in exclusive and uncheck the box "Track name AutoCorrrect Info". I have also used compact and repair, which is also done on a regular basis.
I have found that it is beginning to occur on other forms as well for no apparent reason.
History:
This was originally an Access 97 database that had been upgrade, all forms, reports, etc., had been imported into a new Access 2007 database. It has been running fine for the past month and we have been making design changes with no issues up to this point.
The database is running on MS Server 2008r2 Terminal Services

Hi Iasun:
I have exactly the same problem that you had and have not been able to solve it. As you say, forms can be modified but no be saved; you can´t either change it´s name or delete it. Many forms in a large application that I developed have
the same problem and it seems that with time more forms are becoming "damaged"
What I have done is to open the "damaged" form in design view and copied all controls to a new Form, leaving the old form unused. This is not a real solution but it´s the only way that I have found to change the original form.
Your comment is more than a year old, have you already found a good solution?
My application was originally developed in Access2007 and still running under it so it is not a problem related to 2010.

Save changes. What changes?

Have been running acrobat 7 pro for ever. For some reason it keeps asking do I want to save changes when I close a pdf, even when there have been no changes. Have tried reloading it from the original disk. Still does the same thing for every pdf.

Check out this post - I think it may point you in the right direction.
