Random file name when saving attachment in email

I access my email account with Safari and when i try to save as an attachment, the original file name does not automatically appear in the save as dialogue box. Some random file name appears instead n its very annoying. Can anyone help？
Thanks！

Try to save what? The entire email message? Somthing that is embedded in the email message?
Anyway, why would you use Safari to access your email instead of Apple's Mail application?

Indesign CS4 "forgets" file name when saving as Postcript file.

Like the title says Indesign CS4 "forgets" file name when saving as Postcript file.
Example:
I open up indesign CS4 and open up a file called "test5". Then I go to the print menu and save it as a postscript file. Once the save as dialog box comes up it wont say "test5" but it uses whatever file name I used last time I created a PDF.
I want indesign to recognize that when I create a postscript file that I want it to be named the same way as my file that is open at that moment. Changing the file name every time is not bad when they are called "test5" etc but here at this company we use super long file names and it's a pain to change it every time.
Funny thing: Some machines here do it the way in the example but other machines will do it the correct way by using the same name in the save as box.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? If something is not clear just ask!

How about this - it's a workaround, I can't change ID or your system.
I'm big on EXACT filenames also, case and space sensative. Do a "Save As" before printing - the file name should be correct and highlighted, ctrl+c copy, escape/cancel the Save As. Paste in the filename during the Save as Postscript File.

Ipad only uses one file name when uploading images via email

We have an image tool that uploads images to a template website. The problem is the file names for these images must be unique any duplicate file names will be rejected. Some of our users want to be able to upload from the field but Ipad only assigns the file name "photo.JPG" to jpegs. It doesn't seem to include the sequential extension that actually does exist for the image on the file name when uploading. Is there a way to get ipad to do so, or is this something that Apple maybe want to consider looking into. I can easily see the average Joe emailing themselves images and hitting save only to replace and lose an older image because let's face it, not all users are on MACs and PC's do not allow multiple files to have the same file name in the same folder.

Hi,
Based on the description, you could send email to external addresses without the Twin Oaks software. However, with the Twin Oaks software, you couldn't send successfully.
For this issue, I recommend you enable message tracking and check whether you could retrieve message tracking log entires when you send emails to external addresses through the Twin Oaks software.
If you couldn't retrieve message these tracking log entires when you send emails to external addresses through the Twin Oaks software, it means that the Exchange server is OK and the crux of the problem is the Twin Oaks software.
Here is an article about message tracking log for your reference.

Change file name when sending form through email

Hi all,
I created a form that can be downloaded, viewed and completed by the user in Acrobat reader, and then sent by email as a pdf-attachment by pushing a submit-button. As the form will be sent by several different users to the same address, in order to avoid confusion it would be good when the filename would not be the original form name, but someting based on the individal data entered by the user.
Is there a way of between having filled in the form and actually sending it, automatically change the file name? I know users could save the file first and thén send it, but I would like to spare them the hassle.
Thank! Mateo

To do that you woudl have to certify the form which brings into play a whole other series of issues.

File names when saving scanned documents

When I scan a document and then try and save the same, The scanned document is saved hiwever the name that I give to the scanned document gets truncated. I dont understand why, I am using windows 7

That is a long File Name.
Did you create this long file name system at the same time you started scanning these documents?
You have .pdf and .ld together as the file extension in the image you provided. What is .ld?
Can you go to the file name and rename it to add the other characters and it stays?
If not, I don’t think it’s the HP software doing this. It is most likely Windows.
The only thing I can think of is that Windows uses what’s called an 8.3 file naming convention. It is built into Windows and it shortens long file names for MS-DOS legacy applications. Every long file name has an alias that complies with the 8.3 file names for backward compatibility.
Take a look at this article from Microsoft on truncating names. This will explain what is happening (hopefully).
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142982
Also,
Short file names may contain only the following characters:
·         Numbers (0,1-9)
·         Letters (A-Z, a-z)
·         Blank (blank spaces)
·         ASCII characters greater than 127
·         Special characters: $ % ' - _ @ ~ ` ! ( ) ^ # &
Long file names may contain only the following characters:
All of the characters supported by short file names
·         Special characters: + , ; = [ ]
Length of the long file names are limited to 255 characters (260 for full paths = the file name and root of the folder) and short file names are limited to 8+3 or 11 characters (80 for full path names).
You can disable the 8.3 convention in Windows but there may be problems with some applications not being able to find files and directories that have long file names.
This Microsoft article explains how to disable 8.3 on NTFS partitions.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/121007
You will need to be logged in as an Administrator on the account. IF this computer is at your employers, you will have to contact their IT support for further discussion.
Go to Start and type CMD in the Search bar. Right click on CMD in the list and choose Run as Administrator.
Type in the command prompt

and press Enter.
This operation takes effect immediately (no restart required).

Custom file name when saving

When my program creates a report, I want to save it as a serial number defined in the report. I want to use the MS Office Report Express VI to do this but unfortunately it only allows you to save the file name as a time/date and/or incremental number.

You can pass in the file name that you want to save the data to. Why not build up your own file path? The Build Path primitive will be helpful here.

AdobePDFViewer.plugin And Default File Name When Saving

When I grab a PDF document from a web page, it opens in a Safari Window just fine, as expected. I get the Adobe Plug-in Tool Bar as expected. So now I want to File:Save As the document that I have grabbed and am now looking at in my Safari window. The File:Save As dialog opens and the document title always defaults to 'downloadDocument' instead of the actual name of the file that I have grabbed, even if the html has passed the true file name to the browser and plug in. This means I have to retype the name of the document before I click OK. What a pain......
I cannot find a preference or other setting that would be controlling this. I've looked through the Safari Prefs and the Adobe Prefs
I should note that I have Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 installed, and I'm running Safari 3.2.1 (5525.27.1) on an MBP 2.5GHz C2D with 4GB of RAM. OS X v10.5.6 totally current.
How do I get the default file name in the File:Save As dialog to be the name of the file I have grabbed?

Well, that results in the correct document name appearing in the Save As dialog.
However, it also means all the Adobe tools are gone.
And more importantly, it means that the in-document bookmarks are not available for use. The bookmarks are critical in our application. We work with very long documents (big insurance policies) that have many sections and hence they are all bookmarked so that we can move from section to section easily and find the specific sections, pages, endorsements, etc. that we need.
So, it appears my next step is to "visit" Adobe and find out why they don't play nice??????

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, not appending number in sequence to base file name when saving PDF.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (new today - everything else working great), Vista 32-bit, HP desktop.
After scanning documents and creating a PDF file (Save to file on my computer w/USB connection), using HP Scan, it does not append numbers in sequence to base file name. HP Scan (Under Advanced Settings/Destinations) reads that it will do this (when you over over the base name field). Perhaps I have to enable something. Do you know how I can do this? Thank you.

I'm not really sure what's going on. The install might not have written right. Try uninstalling and installing from a fresh download. Let me know what happens.

Why can I not copy text from a file and paste into "File Name" when saving?

I thought I used to do this but I cannot copy a string of text from within AI (CS5, CS6 or CC) then "save as" and paste into the "file name" field. Why would this be?
This proceedure works fine in Photoshop.
Mac OSX 10.7.5.

I am copying the characters not the object. Something seems to have changed at the system level. I can paste the text to other applications (Skype, Word, etc.) but not the "Save" dialog. I have been pasting the text to a Skype message window and re-copying. Then it will paste into the save dialog. Weird.
I see you are on 10.6.8. Maybe it's a system difference.

Stray, random files, written when saving/opening projects

I found one other thread asking about this and no answers.
lsprst7.dll
lsprst7.tgz
sysprs7.dll
sysprs7.tgz
tmpPrst.tgz
These files get written to location where I am saving my project.If I delete them they return the second I open the file.
In the previously cited case they were using xp, I am Vista 64.
Does anyone have clue as to what's up with this?
Thank You,
Kevin

Hi,
I just got the same thing, on Windows 7 Home premium and PPR CS4 4.2. More, PPR crashes several time during editing.
I could not find out what has caused that new thing so I uninstalled the lasted apps; WinRAR and Smartsound, restored the PC to an earlier state and now it works again fine.

Random file name for xml output

Hi:
You know how when you're in design mode and select PDF preview, then click an email submit XML data button it assigns a random number as the XML file name? How can I set that same thing up when a user clicks the submit button from the web site? The default it assigns is the name of the pdf form.
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Ginger

Virginia,
The email submit button can only do what you described in your message.
- The random file name generated in PDF preview is because you are in the design mode (not everyone has the working xpd file saved when he/she does a PDF preview. This results in a random file _x3432gd4343.xml is generated. It could have been called untitle1.xml if the product developers decide to do so).
- When you open a PDF file (which has a name) in acrobat, the PDF filename is being used for the email attachment.

Dynamic file name of the attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi
I have configured a sender mail adapter which receives some attachments.
Right now the file name of the attachment is hardcoded to "MailAttachment-1" "MailAttachment-2" using the content-description from "AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean" module.
I want to set it to dynamic ie. instead of "MailAttachment-1"... i want it with real name of the attach.
please suggest a solution w/o the need to develop a custom adapter module.
Thanks!
Regards,
Mariano.

Thanks Prateek,
Now, i can see that the name of the original file is into the content type named as text/xml; name"name of the file.xml" when i send the email from outlook.
If i send it from hotmail, this is not happend.
Do you know why happend this?
If i always would have the original name inside the content type, my problem will be solved.

How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard

How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard, please see the attached screenshot for a clearer explanation.
I understand that if we prefix all files with leading zero's this will probably resolve the issue but I just wondered if anyone new the answer. The ironic situation is that version 6 has no problem.
I have spent over an hour with techincal support who were unable to provide me with an answer

It is not clear how you are trying to do the order. Have you tried to select a set of files and then use the arrow buttons to move them in the list? If you select the heading, that will typically reorder the files by that heading and undo everything you had done before.
You should be able to select groups of files and move them up and down in the list. All of those options appear on your view, so what is the real question?

How to retain file name while saving file on archive servers

Hi Experts,
I am using function modules:
ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_TABLE and ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT for inserting a file to archive server and for linking it with a document.
Then I am reading the URL using FM: SCMS_AO_URL_READ. When I get this URL and download that file, the file name will be always defaulted to 'pclHTTP.dll'. I debugged these FMs to a certain extent and found that this name comes from CREP_HTTP-HTTP_SCRPT table.
Is there any way I can retain the file name while saving it so that when I read the URL it has correct file name in it?
Please help.
Regards,
Anand Kolte

Hi Max,
In case when downloading one file it is fine. But if I want to download 10 files at once and later if I go to my downloads, every file will be having similar name. Unless we open the file, we cannot know what file it is.

Anand

File name of an attachment from HttpURLConnection

Hi
I am using HttpURLConnection to download an attachment. Pls someone tell me how to get the file name of the attachment that's to be downloaded.
Regards
Faisal

Well the Content-Disposition header is not always set by the servers when they write the file to the OutputStream. I find that only when the URL itself doesn't given an hint of the File name, a value for Content-Disposition is given.
For E.g. URL's like http://somehost/context/somefile.zip doesn't give a value for Content-Disposition, where as http://somehost/context/somefile would give a value for Content-Disposition.
