Rename PDF file upon submission

Is there a way to append the senders name or an instance name to the PDF filename upon email submission?
Right now, I haven't figured out how to flatten the form upon submission so I'm going to post the form online as it is... The recipient will receive the form (not the static PDF I eventually want) with the same name every time & have to remember to rename it uniquely each time it is received... I don't really want to have to make them do that just in case they forget & it overwrites an existing file...
Any assistance on how to call the Output.transformPDF would be helpful as well. Not sure how to code it...

you can use setDocAttribute(document,"wsfilename","newFileName") function to rename the pdf,
for your other issue you can use the workflow to create a simple process which transforms the PDF, if you need any help on that email me
[email protected], will be more than happy to help you out

  • PPT action buttons are not present in pdf file upon conversion

    Hi
    Am using Office 2003 (SP3) and Acrobat 8 (version 8.1.6).
    Have been using action buttons in the presentations for several years, works fine.
    When converting existing files, action buttons in both PPT show and pdf file just works, no problems.
    Newly generated presentations work fine as PPT show. But when converted to pdf file, the action buttons are simply missing.
    Have verified that all action buttons are "at front", same result.
    Have tried to avoid corporate templates by creating a blank presentation and building a small and simple navigating presentation. Again, works fine as PPT show. And again, upon conversion there are no action buttons present in the pdf file.Corporate changes thereby should be ruled out.
    Have checked all settings (including "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings") between a working and a non-working PPT file, can't identify any differences.
    A colleague helped out (using Acrobat 6), same result. But upon activation of "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings, Restore Defaults", the action buttons worked for him. Tried it with Adobe 8, no such luck.
    Have trialed the "Prep 4 PDF" tool, then the PDF file is complete and the "go to slide" keys appear and work again.
    All new updates available are installed, anyone experienced the same and found a fix for this trouble?

    Have tried both ways, same result.
    When working with new presentations, the pdf file is viewable, but the action buttons are not present.
    When working with past presentations, the action buttons are present and do work as expected.

  • Help renaming pdf files based on internal content

    I work for a company that has thousands of E-tickets coming in daily, weekly, monthly, etc..
    These tickets come in bafhakfbaifh.pdf and we have to manually rename them or print them all out and then sort through them and put them in order.
    What I would like to do is:
    1. Split any pdf's that have more than one page or "ticket" in my case. I know how to do this with automator easily, but I'd love to keep it all in one program.
    2. Search the file for Event Name (i.e. Madonna)
    3. Search the file for Date of event (August 12, 2012)
    4. Search the file for Section, Row, Seat (124 3 12)
    5. Rename the file based on content found (Madonna August 12 2012 124 3 12.pdf)
    6. Move from original download folder to organized folders based on artist/team.
    7. Automatically print in alphabetical or some sort of designated order.
    Any help is muchly appreciated. So far, I found a PC program called A-PDF rename, but it is not automated enough to be practical. Hazel is awesome at OCRing the pdf and moving from folder to folder, but does not do enough.
    Any help is muchly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You're looking for a PDF Parser or PDF miner tool (PDFminer) as a starting framework, and you'll almost certainly be writing custom code around that as parsing a text file that's effectively free-form and originating from multiple different sources almost always (always?) involves writing customized processing code and an on-going series of tweaks as the suppliers of the PDF change their ticket formats.  (Even apparently-simple details such as the time and date formats, for instance, can vary by geography and language and by supplier, and can derail common processing.)
    In some cases that I can envision, it'd be entirely possible that the data you're after is actually located in an embedded image and not in text that can be parsed.
    The best approach is to get folks to send you JSON or XML or some other format intended for interchange, and avoid the whole mess that is parsing or mining a printer-oriented format.
    The other obvious option is to use something like Amazon's Mechanical Turk or some other explicitly outsourced help.  Depending on how often the formats change and how many of these PDF files you're dealing with and how varied the formats are, sometimes throwing staff at the problem can be the most cost-effective approach.

  • Rename PDF file attachment

    Is it possible to submit a form via email as a whole PDF but rename the PDF attachment in the process? I am using Acrobat X. I would like to set the PDF file name attachment to the value of a form field.

    Yes, I have access but the local machine of every user is a mobile device (specifically an iPad). So I don't think that's possible. So this cannot be done via JavaScript when a button is pressed before the submit operation takes place? The iPad app does allow the execution of JavaScript in the PDF.
    --- NEW CODE GOES HERE TO RENAME THE PDF ---
    this.submitForm({
        cURL:strMailTo,
        aFields: aSubmitFields,
        cSubmitAs: "PDF"

  • Can you rename pdf files in ibooks?

    I download many PDF files onto my iPad to read using iBooks.  But the PDF files are stored on the iPad with non-meaningful names (like QL-BHZfG9dl).  Is there any way to rename these things so that I know (without opening them) what the files are??

  • Automatically renaming pdf files based on excel data

    I am creating pdf certificates using variable data from excel files with InDesign.  This creates a multipage pdf file with a different persons name on each page.  Then end result needs to be individual pdf files named for each person.  I can extract the single pages out of the main pdf ending up with however many files all named the same thing besides a number at the end of the common file name.  Question:  Is there a automated process of renaming the individual files using the data from the excel file?

  • Automatically renaming pdf.file

    Hi,
    Does anyone kowns if the following question is possible?
    My scanned documentation gets automatically a file name like for example SKM 217362342 etc. These are PDF.files which I then open with adobe acrobat and then I run OCR.
    After that I want to save them with a name coming automatically from the pdf.file. For instance the invoice number.
    I am not so good in English but I hope you understand my question.
    Thanks in advance

    My problems is I send some PDF files to my own email account from my NB. So this way I can transfer these files w/o using iTunes. But when I was opening my email on iPad, some of the files became PDF files by itself. The reason I want to keep them in PDF is because this way I can organize better on iPad; otherwise it will be all in saved photos. It will be too hard to find the file I need.
    Thank you

  • Rename PDF files using iBooks

    Hi everyone!
    Is there a way to rename a PDF book in iBooks? I could have done this when I used iTunes but after upgrading to 10.9 I can't rename these "books" anymore.
    For instance I managed to change the Title and Author fields easily in iTunes, but I can't do this in iBooks. Is there an answer why the users can't do this?

    I found a clumsy, but effective workaround for your problem.
    1.  Open the PDF up with Preview (use your Finder to find it, the right-click "Open with..")
    2.  Choose File>Print then choose "as PDF"
    3.  In the Save menu, fill in the new document name above and below, and write the correct Author's name (your name will probably appear) where it sasy "Author."
    4.  Open iBooks, and delete the old copy (won't work if you don't do this before next step)
    5. Go to the iBooks menu-bar, and choose File>Add to Library
    6.  Select the new PDF
    You're right, hopefully Apple will fix this in a soon-to-be-seen update.  In the meantime, I tried the above and it works.

  • Cannot delete .PDF files from a shared folder.

    Hello,
    I am having issues with deleting/renaming PDF files!
    Permissions is not an issue as even logged in as the Network Administrator of the Domain, I still can't delete the file.
    The error message I'm recieving is:  cannot delete xxxx.pdf It is being used by another person or program.  Close any programs that might be using this file and try again.
    There are only 1 or 2 users that would have access to the files and neither of them are using them.  I can also reset the security permissions for the file and take ownership, but even after doing these things it doesn't make a difference?
    I've tried various unlocking tools (Unlocker) and none of them report that the file is open or that there are any locks on them.  This only happens with PDF files. If I reboot the sever the problem will go away, but this server needs to be 99.999% of the
    time!
    Help please!

    Hi,
    Windows is somehow accessing Thumbs.db during the time of the folder move/delete attempt.  Please go into Folder options > View > Always show icons, never thumbnails to check if you can delete .PDF files.

  • Change name of open PDF file - Edit the file - Save OK

    Possibility to open a PDF file, change its name in the Finder, edit the PDF file inside (eg., using the yellow fluorescent marker) and then save it.
    Now you cannot do it because you get an error.

  • Submitted PDF file renamed on submission.

    Hi all,
    I've created a form through designer which is used with our Companys IT Helpdesk system. In the form I have used a regular button with a click event to submit the form through either Adobe Reader or Pro.
    The filename is Company New Starter Application Form.pdf
    The problem i have is that when the form is submitted, for example with Acrobat Pro the filename is changed to
    Company New Starter Application Form.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf
    This renaming of the file is subsequently causing problems with our helpdesk system where it is stripping out the PDF file likely due to the unconventional renaming of the file.
    Below is the script from this click event:
    if (form1.execValidate()) {
    var oDoc = event.target;
    xfa.host.messageBox("Thank you for completing the New Joiner form. Please check that all ADDITIONAL FORMS have been completed and submitted where requested. This submission will now be sent to IT Security. Please note, due to Outlook security precautions, you may be required to click on 'Send' when the email is generated. For your records a copy of this request will be stored in your Outlook Sent Items.", "SUBMISSION NOTICE", 3);
    oDoc.mailDoc({
    bUI: false,
    cTo: "*********@******.co.uk",
    cSubject: "Aspen New Joiner: " + Page1.firstname.rawValue + " " + Page1.lastname.rawValue + " (Starting: " + Page1.StartDate.rawValue + ")",
    cMsg: "Please find attached the completed New Joiner form for " + Page1.firstname.rawValue + " " + Page1.lastname.rawValue,
    else
    SetFocusOnFirstFailedField.DoSetFocusOnFirstFailedField(form1);
    I tried adding  event.target.dirty = false; to the beginning of the script which worked as in it prevented the file from being renamed, however it subsequently stripped out all entered onto the form once submitted.
    Any help would be great. Am I doing something wrong??
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    you can try to put the code snippet event.target.dirty = false; into another event or a separate function you call before you execute your email script.
    I noticed that the the form data won't be submitted if snippet is used within another script, but if it is executed separately before.

  • How do I rename my PDF file in the "new" DC mobile app.

    What a mess. Adobe decided to push the new "DC" on my tablet. Now there is no document tab, all my PDF files are gone or in-accessible, and I can find no option to rename new downloaded PDF files. Complete revamp really was a good idea, right? Just when I getting used to working around the KitKat 4.4 SD card issue, now this. I'm going back to paper and pencils!!!  This is so incredibly PRODUCTIVE, learning a whole new buggy interface after so many years of getting comfortable with "Reader".... I don't need or want the cloud, I just want to work with my documents on my tablet - THEN, let me decide what I want to do with them. Sorry, I am just so frustrated with having to completely RE-LEARN how to do something so basic every time some software gets "improved", or "updated".

    Could you try if this video helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTrTPR9LEq8.
    Also, for renaming the document, you would need to use a third party file manager such as AndExplorer or ES File Manager.
    Thanks.

  • Can´t open, rename, copy or delete PDF file

    I have got a problem opening, renaming, moving, copying and even deleting a PDF file with a very long file name. It does not upload either, so I cannot send it to Adobe via the Support form.
    I have now downloaded a PDF repair application, but I get the following error: "The above file name is invalid". It seems the file is corrupted or damaged. I only managed to open it once, after which it stopped working.
    My OS is XP. I use Adobe Reader to open PDF files.
    Can someone tell me how to deal with this file? Thanks.

    You do not need Reader to change the name of a file. If you cannot change the name of a file in Windows XP, then you have major problems that have nothing to do with Reader. You have at a minimum file directory damage, you could have a virus. Reboot your computer, with no applications open try to change the name of the file using Windows' Explorer app.

  • Pdf files will not open upon downloading

    I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them.  Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download.  Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences.  Any other thoughts?  A solution would be most helpful.  (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

    Doesn't make much sense to me. Methinks details are needed.
