Repetitive PDF creation issue in PREVIEW (Terminal option to not save?)

i have a real annoying issue in Preview which i generally find to be a model of efficiency. it is for pdf creation and goes like this:
i scan 50 images into Preview in order to create a pdf to send to someone.
i rotate them and make sure they are properly ordered and oriented.
i select them all and go to print pulldown menu item
then i select the pdf button at the bottom lower left (this is redundant and would be really nice to eliminate by providing a PRINT TO PDF pulldown)
anyway, then i create the pdf and i try to CLOSE OUT of Preview.
however - since i don't need the images any more i am not MANUALLY SAVING ALL THESE IMAGES by CLICKING SAVE on each of the 50 images (this is a pain too and would really be nice to fix)
/instead/ what i have to do is to click DELETE on all 50 images in order to simply close out of Preview after having saved my PDF.
is there a better way to do this and if so what is it.
also, why isn't preview smart enough to not act like adobe software and to give me a "Don't Save All" or "Delete All" button instead of giving me carpal tunnel confirming this on each image.
is there a Yes <> No switch in Terminal that will turn this off??

You can open the PDF in Acrobat and save to Acrobat 4 compatibility, either through optimize or preflight. I would also ask the client why they want Acrobat 4 compatibility.

  • 10.6.7 - general pdf creation issues?

    I wondered whether anyone else had run into this issue after updating to 10.6.7 when using pdfs created by Preview - perhaps related to the pdf/font issue.
    If it is generally happening, then the 10.6.7 pdf-font issue has an even larger
    impact than previously described:
    1. Open a pdf document in Preview
    2. Select a region and save to clipboard
    3. Save as a new pdf file
    4. Then try importing it as a "Picture" into any of the new Office 2011 apps: Word, PPT, etc.
    This crashes my office 2011 apps (latest version, 14.02) But NOT any earlier version of Office (2008. etc.), which may not do as much pdf checking.
    Before the 10.6.7 upgrade (ie, 10.6.6), this never happened with Office 2011.
    Acrobat complains when opening the Preview-created pdfs about 'missing fonts', so I suspect some sort of pdf creation issue.
    Any fixes (besides the previously suggested one of downgrading to 10.6.6)
    If it's a real bug (not just local to my system), then it's a more far-reaching one than previously described.

    So, 3 different Apple tech support people say they know this problem affects

    That is wrong because it only involves OpenType Postscript fonts.
    The only solution offered so far is to "downgrade by doing Archive & Install" and
    then re-applying each Combo Upgrade, starting with 10.6.3 up to 10.6.6.
    You wouldn't have to do that either. That is the point of a Combo update. You only need to apply the one you want. It includes all of the previous updates.

  • Editing, then closing, automatically saves. No option to "not save?"

    (iPhoto 6.0.4) Is this a default feature? When I open a photo and do any editing, then double click it to reduce it to thumbnail size, iPhoto automatically saves what I did. Isn't there an option somewhere to tell it to just close but not save, or to "save as?" Any graphics apps that I use (Photoshop, Graphic Converter, etc.), always ask when I go to close the image whether I want to save what I was just doing. Not iPhoto. The only way I can figure to get around this is create a duplicate before experimenting with any edits. Any help? Thanks

    I'm holding out for someone to tell me of a preference adjustment or something that allows me to have that decision making.
    Don't hold your breath, because there isn't one. Your options are undo the changes you made or revert to the original as Smtr said.

  • I want to Hide Back option but Not Save option when using transaction iview

    Hi,
    Sap Guru's
    I am new in Sap EP.... I am using Transaction iviews in the portal....  I want to Hide Back option but not the Save Option of transactions....I want to hide it from  potal ...... Is it Possible.....
    I have done settings in  SICF Tcode in ECC system as Following:
    ~Webgui = 1
    ~Webgui_simple_toolbar = 160, 2, 4, 16, 32, 64 and some more values... It is hiding the Back option but also the Save Option....
    I also want to disable commands as Ctlr  + S , shift + F3
    Suggest me some solution so that this can be done from portal instead of ECC systems.....
    Thank's in Advance
    Regards-
    Sumeet Sharma

    Hai,
      Kalyan,
    I have done this problem using SICF but instead of Hiding Back option .. I have allowed a user to run only one transaction using an iview....
    Put following parameter in SICF:
    ~webgui = 1
    ~theme = Sl
    ~SINGLETRANSACTION = 1
    By this configuration user will be able to execute only one transaction i.e  assigned him in his transaction iview.... It's an alternate solution of hiding back......
    when user click front screen back option of an transaction iview he will get message ... Logged off....

    Create a PDF file using JAVA

    Martin is right,
    Any data context node on the next view should also be mapped to the component controller, so when you are changing views you just have to use your material number to invoke the method of the component controller that gets your detailed data, its as easy as this:
    before you fire you plug you can use the following:
    wd_comp_controller->get_material_details( matnr = lv_matnr ).
    Inside your component controller you should have a method called "get_material_details" and an importing parameter called matnr.
    once the logic is run to get the details, bind your data to the component controllers Material details context node, this node should also be mapped to the view of the second screen.
    So now when the second view opens the data will magically be there
    Good luck,

  • How do I change my default settings when opening an email PDF attachment?  I want it to "open" not "save as".  I did the Adobe chat but the steps he gave me for my Adobe Reader XI didn't match up with the options on my screen.

    It used to "open" but somehow must have flipped over to "save as"

    Hi Susan,
    Welcome to forums.
    As you mentioned that you received an email from Adobe. That is a auto generated email by the systems, so you don't need to worry about it, If you download the product today, according to system it starts from today however pratically, trial starts after you installed and first launch it. So please ignore that email
    You can install the FM in your desktop and laptop and activate it on both the machines however cannot use it at the same time as per User License Agreement. As Harpeet mentioned the email for support team, you can post your question on forums or to that email.
    Hope this answers your query.
    Thanks

  • IMR7 : Creation of a new Screen Variant does not save Layout

    Hello,
    In IMR7, if I create a new screen Variant with a modified the default Layout field, the next time I log-in to SAP, system does not recognize my Layout selection.
    Do you have a suggestion?
    Thanks
    François

    Hello,
    Thanks for your support but it did not resolved my problem.
    When I save Layout I  have three fields:
    -Layout name
    -User-specific checkbox
    -Description
    Even though User-specific is not checked, next time I relog to SAP and choose my Variant, the layout I have chosen in this variant is not keeped in memory. A layout named 4_SAP_IM is always displayed.
    Do you have the same behavior?
    Thanks

  • PDF access issue with OHS WebGate

    Hi all,
    The architecture has OAM, OID, Documentum server. OID is used as user store for OAM. Documentum application is deployed in WebLOgic server. There is a OHS server front ending the WebLOgic server where we installed the webgate. We are protecting the Documentum URL through OHS host name in OAM Policy domain and everything is working fine so far. While downloading a pdf document in Documentum server application, it is processing as 33% and hangs over for 5 mins and finally displays an error given below.
    invokeMethod() failed while calling: onReturnFromProgress
    Operation failed : com.documentum.ucf.common.transport.TransportException: Client failed to handshake with server within 250 seconds.
    After closing this window, press the Refresh or Reload button on your browser to continue
    I have seen couple of metalink notes about this pdf webgate issue and tried several options for webgate params CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader.
    Tried the following combinations:
    CachePragmaHeader           private
    CacheControlHeader private
    CachePragmaHeader           novalue
    CacheControlHeader novalue
    CachePragmaHeader           public
    CacheControlHeader public
    CachePragmaHeader           novalue
    CacheControlHeader private
    CachePragmaHeader           novalue
    CacheControlHeader public
    Like this I have tried almost 9 combinations but no luck. Also tried disabling the IP validation. There are no errors in webgate or access server logs
    Please let me know if you have any clue on this.
    -Mahendra.

    We're seeing an issue that looks almost identical to this but using Windows 2008/IIS7.x and WebGate v10.1.4.3. The PDF will begin download then it looks like a connection resets. We've tried it using PDF's ranging in size from <1mb to over >16mb. The results are consistent. On IIS turning off "http keep alive" allows the downloads to proceed (and probably diminishes performance to some degree).
    While the workaround we found allows PDFs to download I'd really be interested in seeing what's causing this.

  • How can I make PDF forms filled in Preview show correctly in Acrobat?

    Dears list members, there is a known issue with PDF forms filled in Preview: the fields do not show properly in Adobe Acrobat. How can this issue be solved? On the internet, I found two basic solutions: (a) to flatten the document by printing it as a PDF and (b) to use a costum-made script. Is there an official correction for this bug that does not involve installing suspicious scripts? Thanks!

  • When creating a DVD face in Photoshop 13 my save options are limited to .PSE and .PDF.  Why can I not save as a jpeg or other file format?  This was never an issues in Elements 10 (my previous version).

    I just recently purchased Elements 13. I am in the process of creating a DVD face for a video. The design is complete and I would like to be able to save it as a JPEG so I can use it in another program that prints my DVD's. The problem is that it only allows me to save the file as at PSE or a PDF. No other options are available. Why is this?  I upgraded from Elements 10. In Elements 10 I have never had a problem saving this type of project as a JPEG.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    ANSWER FOUND!
    Once I finished composing my question I went back and spent some time to figure out the problem. Rather than choosing the "save as" option, which doesn't work, or attempting to choose "export" (grayed out), the correct option is to choose "export creation", which is near the very bottom of the initial drop down options. That works!  I still think it would make sense to have it as an option in the "save as" area.

  • PDF will not save via Save Icon on Web Browser (All), but will save using Print option. How can I resolve this issue?

    Good morning all!
         I am trying to publish a fillable form to a website for users to fill out. The trouble is that I myself can fill out the form when I click the link, and save it using the disc icon. However when I have other users click it, they can fill out the form on the PDF in the internet browser, but cannot save it using the disc icon that pops up on the bottom right hand corner. I discovered that if I Save As Adobe PDF, it will save my information. When I try using the disc icon to save a physical copy, the information is completely missing from the field in the PDF, as if I never filled it out before.
    Since other users of all walks are going to be using it, I can't exactly give explicit instructions on how to use the work around for this, since it's intuitive to click the disc icon. Can anyone offer help regarding this issue?
    Some other pieces of information:
    I am using the Save as Other -> Reader Extended PDF -> Enable More Tools (Includes form fill-in and save), yet users cannot save the information typed in on the web browser PDF form.
    Thank you for your time and help.

    Thanks for your reply.
    We're using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.10 (Latest update)
    This looks to be the only PDF with the issue on fillable forms, but we have not yet posted any others with this issue.
    From that link, you can fill out the form, but when you click the pop up Disc icon on the bottom right, it does not save your typed in information. This happens on Firefox, Chrome, and IE. However when you click the print icon and Print as PDF, it saves the information you typed in.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Combine PDF feature missing from right click option Acrobat Pro 9/Windows 7

    I combine PDF's all day long and need this feature. I had it on my old computer and since moving over to the new computer I do not have the option to combine PDF's when right clicking on PDF documents. I have searched the forum and found other fixes, however none have worked, I have uninstalled and re-installed three times as well and no luck. Does anyone have any other ideas for fixes for this. I need this feature.....

    Found this it worked for me :
    http://acrobatusers.com/forum/pdf-creation/right-click-option-combine-supported-files-miss ing a known issue caused by the context menu handler not being registered (tends to result from patches and installs when Windows UAC is active).
    It's
    From the Start menu, choose 'All Programs' > 'Accessories, and *right-click* on 'Command Prompt'Select 'Run as Administrator' and approve the UAC window (if one is displayed)
    If you have 64-bit Windows, in the command window type the following and press Enter, including the quotes:
    regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu64.dll"

  • Is the Aperture "Preview Book" option quality what you will receive as a book?

    Hey guys, so I've been working for several weeks on a book in Pages (exported as PDF to Aperture) and I have to say that the quality of the "Preview Book" option is horrible. I understand that exporting PDFs from Pages into Aperture isn't the best, but regardless the discrepancy between the preview book at 100% zoom and the original PDF is appalling. The main culprit seems to be text in general, and in my case it is Helvetica Neue Light. I'm assuming that very light and thin text just doesn't work well when printed. Everything else seems to be "OK", and a few pages that were done in Photoshop look the best. But is this what I can expect? That thin text will just look bad when printed? 
    Here are the examples so you can see:
    Preview Book
    Original PDF in Aperture at 100%
    Now, has anybody else run into this issue? I can't be the only person who has designed a book in other software and imported it to Aperture and run into this issue. Is the Preview Book option WYSIWYG? Is this how I can expect the book to be printed? I would greatly appreciate your help on the matter.

    K so I tried the 600 DPI one and it was a little overkill! Regardless I've found that it's best to just do the thing originally at 300 DPI, in this case with Pages it's tricking it by working with that huge canvas. I tried create Adobe PDF with High Quality Print setting, and although it was the best quality of all, for some odd reason it didn't render certain things, and at random! Really weird. I also tried my own create PDF @ 300 DPI and I checked both that file (which came out to around 35MB) and the one that Pages exports and they were about 99% identical.
    The funny thing is that in Finder under Inspector both files show as 3900 x 3000 pixels, yet when imported into Aperture it's showing as a 50+ mega pixel file. Anyway off to bed, I'll finish the rest tomorrow. Thanks again for your help, hopefully now the book will come out as planned. =)
