Replacing an updated page in multiple files in the same folder

I have a large number of files of 5 pages long with some of the pages being the same. There comes a time when information on some of these pages has to be up-dated.
I want to know if there is a fast way of exchanging a page in all these files without having to open them all and then replacing the page with the up-dated copy.

In your version it's available under the Advanced menu, Document Processing. It was called Batch Sequences before being renamed to Actions. Look there and you should find it...

How to read multiple files in the same folder?

Suppose I have 100 txt files in the same folder, and I want to read them one by one. (order is not important). File name is also part of the information I want.
How to do that?
Thanks

You need to use the directory to create a File (use the path name, w/o a file name). Then you need to ask for a list() (array of String containing name). To do that you'll need to implement the FilenameFilter interface, writing an accept() method that returns true if the file's name ends with ".txt".
If that's not perfectly clear, try the java.io API docs and return more specific questions.

Question about auto-saving multiple files with the same template

Is there any way to do this? The template will never change - but I will need to save it as a new file each time I open it. Just want to know if there is an automatic way to do this when the template is opened each time? Preferably numeric, starting from any number. I suppose I can just save each file myself - but as it gets up into the thousands of files - I'm not going to want to.
It would be really cool if it could auto-save the file, assign it a number, and then place that number in the top corner of the saved document.
If anyone can help - let me know. C.

OK. First add a text field to the document, say "text1". You probably want it to be read-only. You can duplicate it to all pages if needed. Then open the template document, open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), and enter the following code:
// Interactive Console JavaScript
// Get the folder this file is in
var folder = path.replace(documentFileName, "");
// Save multiple copies (from 1 to 9)
// with the number in the text field
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i += 1) {
getField("text1").value = i;
saveAs(folder + "template" + i + ".pdf");
After you paste the code, highlight the lines and press Ctrl+Enter (or the Enter key on the numeric keypad) and Acrobat will save multiple copies to the same folder as the template. Replace "text1" with the name of the field you've set up and "template" with the name you want the copies to have before the number.

Load multiple files using the same data load location

has anybody tried loading multiple files using the same load locations. I need to do this as the data in these multiple files will need to be exported from FDM as a single export file. the problem i am facing is more user related. since these files will be received at different points of time, users will need a way to tell them what has been loaded and what is yet to be loaded.
is it possible to throw a window on the web broser with OK and Cancel buttons from an event script?
any pointers to possible solutions will be helpful

was able to resolve this. the implementation method is as follows
take a back up of previously imported data in the befcleardata event script. then in the beffileimport event append the data to the import file. there are many other intricacies but this is the broad implementation logic. it allowed my users to load multiple files without worrying about append or replace import type choices

Is it possible to upload multiple files at the same time?

Hi folks,
It seems pretty trivial to implement a file upload item, but is there some way to allow selection (upload) of multiple files at the same time? Seems like this has probably come up before, but I didn't find much for solutions in my search. Any links or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
-Adam vonNieda

Thank you both for your replies.
@Manish - That does allow for multiple file uploads without refreshing the page, but does not allow for multiple file uploads at the same time.
@Tony - That might be the way I end up going, although I probably should have been more specific. It would be really nice it there was a way to do a mutli-file select using the control or shift button like you can with a standard file selection dialog (if you want to copy multiple files, for example). Having a separate line for each file browser means there has to be a limit on the number that can be selected at the same time.
Has anyone implemented a method of selecting multiple files at once, and hitting an upload button once to get them into the database?
Thanks again Manish and Tony, very helpful.

How can multiple files for the same genre be consolidated

I organize my iTunes files in genre folders for easy access. ITunes creates multiple folders for some genres and allows a single (preferred) genre file for other much larger files. How can I consolidate multiple files with the same genre?

Thanks. I've done what you selected. The problem is that despite all files being identified with the same genre, iTunes groups some genres in two separate folders. Thus, I have two "Country" folders, for example. More perplexing is that iTunes groups my largest genre folder, "Jazz", in a single folder.

HT1473 How do I get iTunes to download an entire album in one file versus splitting it into multiple files with the same Album Title?

I have added several CDs to my iTunes files, several Albums were added in the form of multiple files of the same Album title with random songs listed, but not the entire album in one file.
I have tried to reassemble the Album into one file, but could not find a way to do so.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

How do you apply a master page to multiple documents at the same time?

Hi friends,
Thank you for trying to help me out.
Let me explain it a bit to remove the ambiguity.
I have 10 documents nested under a book. Each of these documents have 'n' number of pages. I want to apply my custom made master page "First" to the first page of all these 10 documents in one go. The remaining pages of the documents have to be in default "Right" master page format. How will I do it?
I tried selecting all the documents and importing the formats from another document with the custom made "First" master page. The master page format is getting imported but the first page of all the documents still remain with the default "Right" master page format.
I think now my question is more clear...

Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?

Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization? I am a teacher and want to switch from using microsoft office on my macbook pro to using pages/number/keynote. I am hoping to get an iPad next year and go "paperless" with lesson plans and gradebooks and I heard that pages/numbers/keynote are great on the ipad. I'd like to write an automator script (workflow?) to convert all my documents in dropbox to pages and have them stored on iCloud, then be able to access the files on my macbook pro and ipad. Thanks!

Create an AppleID under different email addresses for each family member at http://appleid.apple.com
If they don't already have their own email address just setup a free one with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or whoever you prefer.
Then on each device sign into iMessage with the users own AppleID in:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Tap AppleID at top > Sign Out, then sign back in again with the correct AppleID.

Multiple files with the same file name within the same folder

It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
Please advise.

the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.

it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

Files from Windows 7 are not alphabetized correctly on OS X, and can match identically named files in the same folder

I receive MS Word files from students using Macs or Windows-based computers. This year, files prepared by students using Windows 7 are not alphabetized correctly on my Mac (under Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion). The same four students keep having their files put at the END of the alphabetical sort by name, even though the files should appear earlier in the list. I have to copy the file contents and paste the contents into a new document to get the new document to appear in the right order, and if I do so, then BOTH the old and new files appear in the Finder, even though the names appear to be identical! So can have to files with the same name in the same folder, which ought to be impossible. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Bingo!
The problem is not the letters themselves, but non-letter characters in the file name; this showed up with the fixed-width fonts. The apparent duplicates and mis-sorting are caused by dashes, which differ because they're done as en-dashes in one file name and em-dashes in the other file name, or by curly or straight apostrophes. I didn't see that in the Finder window.
I never saw this behavior before this year. Last year, when I was using a Mac for the first time, I did not see any such problem, even though my students' files were named using the same conventions. When I was using a Windows-based laptop before that, I never saw the problem.
Windows must do something to style the non-letter characters differently than a Mac. Is there any place in Windows Explorer or the OS X Finder that styles characters this way? I can see this being a big problem for someone who needs to sort very important data by name, when the files are coming from different operating systems!
(I just Googled en-dash, em-dash, and curly quotes with file names, and found a good number of posts on various sites about similar problems based on ASCI character coding, html coding, Windows Explorer, and other applications. Sometimes the files don't appear at all, because the application reading the file name can't deal with a certain ASCI code. What a mess.)

Cannot re-save a file into the same folder

Hi.
I have a odd issue where users are unable to resave their documents into the folder that they have opened them from. The folders in question are their home folders to which each user has full permission to access. You cannot save over the original
file or even to the same folder and changing the filename makes no difference at all. You can however save to a different folder within the users home folder. I get an event 300 error/event when trying to save but no other errors other than a confirmation
box saying the file hasn't saved.
Has anyone else seen this before/
Thanks
Tom

It seems like a permission issue, can you save new files to the location anyway?
You can try clean boot to determine whether other programs are conflicting:

Downloading a file to the same folder as an applescript

I have never used applescript before and have what should be a simple problem.
I just want to download via FTP a file and have it in the same folder as script application.
This is what I have and it downloads what I want, but to get it where I want. This puts it in my home directory. I think "path to me" needs to come in here somehow. Now I am dumb so probably need the whole script!! thanks.
tell application "System Events"
do shell script "curl 'ftp://user:password@server//www/htdocs/current/l.txt' -o ~/l.txt"
end tell

Try using:
tell application "Finder"
set path_2 to quoted form of POSIX path of (folder of (path to me) as alias)
end tell
tell application "System Events"
do shell script "curl 'ftp://user:password@server//www/htdocs/current/l.txt' -o " & path_2 & "l.txt"
end tell
