'Save as Type' box in 'Save As' dialog box

I recently downloaded 'Rocket PDF' and now if I try to save any PDF. document, the only choices in the 'save as type' box are 'Rocket PDF' or 'All files'. No more 'Adobe Reader PDF. appears as a choice. I uninstalled 'Rocket PDF' and in the 'Default changes' I put 'Adobe Reader as the default to open 'PDF.'. Still, the only choices on the 'save as type ' are 'Rocket PDF' or 'All files'! How do I get Adobe Reader PDF' back as a choice in the 'save as type' box and delete 'Rocket PDF' as a choice?

Sorry I wasn't clear! When I try to save a 'PDF' file the "save as" dialog box opens. At the bottom the 'file name'is listed and below that it says, "save as type". You then pick what file type you want, like Adobe Reader for PDF. It used to say Adobe Reader as one of the choices but when I downloaded "Rocket PDF" it only says "Rocket PDF or "all files" as the only choices to save the document, no more Adobe Reader as a choice. I have deleted Rocket PDF and under 'default programs (Start button) I have set the "Pdf. files to open with Adobe Reader. Rocket PDF is still listed or' all files', nothing else! How can I get Adobe Reader as a choice back in the 'save as type' box?
Thanks for any help.

Is there a way of renaming files AS you download them (as in IE where you type the name into the dialog box as you save)?

I save batches of records from an info source and need to give them memorable names as I download them, so that I can find the correct record again easily. Currently the system just calls them, e.g. wrlb, wrlb[2], wrlb[3]. When I used IE, I could type a filename into the dialog box as I saved, but Firefox doesn't seem to have any option to rename. Can anyone point me to a solution?

What i need is, when the user clicks on the link to download the file it has to open up the standard file save as / open dialog box.

Where did you get this command from? There's no such thing in Acrobat
JavaScript as a Save object or an execevent method.
Also, there's no need to save a file in a batch process. It happens
automatically. If you really want to do it, use the saveAs method of the
Document object. Have a look at the reference files to see how it's done.

Save Open dialog box opening very slow

I have windows 7 professional 64bit OS. whenever i try to open/save as dialog box it appears very slow, then it will say it is not responding then after 10-15sec it will come alive.
Need help!!!!!!

Blair,
I followed your suggestions above....reset IE ...clean boot. Didn't solve the problem. (had trouble making that MSCONFIG window bigger !? <wink>)
Problem still exists. And to be clear, here is the problem(s) ...I believe they are all interrelated.
#1. I end the explorer.exe process and restart it. Run Explorer and start clicking folders in my FAVORITES. System hangs for about 10 seconds before it catches up.
Alternatly, after a explorer.exe restart, if I run explorer and start clicking down through folders from the C: drive, there is no hang.   SUSPECT - some sort of file for favorites needs to be rebuilt?!
#2. Open MS Word. Type a few letters. Select File/Save. Most icons under Favorites are white. Trying clicking more than one, but system hangs for ten seconds until icons fill in.
#3. WINDOWS button, start typing in the search INTERNET....5-10 seconds before Internet Explorer (and other INT* things show up.! Usually this is instantaneous.

How come the "save as" dialog box keeps popping up whenever I try to use alt codes?

I type with diacritical marks regularly but recently, when I press and hold Fn + Alt + the numerical code, it brings up the "save as" dialog box. This seems to be a Firefox-specific issue because this doesn't happen on Microsoft Word + other programs. I am wondering how to disable this "save as" dialog box shortcut, or how to just get the alt codes to work.

Hm, this is the list of add-ons that are currently enabled on my browser:

OpenOffice save as dialog filter types

Hello,
I have the below java method that displays a OOo save as dialog .
i have an issue with filter types in this save dialog: it seems the combo box type in save dialog doesn't contain the filters (like "OpenDocument Text") i appended in java method code below . when i click on type combo box the list is empty !
can someone point me what i'm i doing wrong ?
how to force the save as dialog to display all possible OOo types in 'type ' combo box ?
thanks much
public String showSaveAsDialog() {

            XPropertySet xPropertySet = (XPropertySet) com.sun.star.uno.UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, oPathSettings);

                if (sPathList.length > 0){

        } catch (com.sun.star.uno.Exception exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
        } finally{
            //make sure always to dispose the component and free the memory!
            if (xComponent != null){
                xComponent.dispose();
        return sStorePath;
    }

hmm i solved the issue !
the trick is to move the filter appending code after call to initialize method :
so we must append filters last thing before calling execute to show the dialog !
so this code works :
xInitialize.initialize(listAny);
            // add a control to the dialog to add the extension automatically to the filename...
            XFilePickerControlAccess xFilePickerControlAccess = (XFilePickerControlAccess) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XFilePickerControlAccess.class, xFilePicker);
            xFilePickerControlAccess.setValue(com.sun.star.ui.dialogs.ExtendedFilePickerElementIds.CHECKBOX_AUTOEXTENSION, (short) 0, new Boolean(true));
            xComponent = (XComponent) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XComponent.class, xFilePicker);
             // set the filters of the dialog. The filternames may be retrieved from
            // http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Filter
            XFilterManager xFilterManager = (XFilterManager) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XFilterManager.class, xFilePicker);
            //xFilterManager.appendFilter("OpenDocument Text Template", "writer8_template");
            xFilterManager.appendFilter("OpenDocument Text", "writer8");
            xFilterManager.setCurrentFilter("OpenDocument Text");
            // execute the dialog...
            XExecutableDialog xExecutable = (XExecutableDialog) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XExecutableDialog.class, xFilePicker);
            short nResult = xExecutable.execute();

Save As dialog box sort order

I have a user with Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard installed on Windows XP SP3. When they go to save a pdf document, the Save As dialog box is in list view and not sorted by folder/file name by default. So, they have to change to Details view and then change the sort to be by name. They have to do this every time they save a document. Is there a way to change this? They would like the sort order to be by name every time they open the Save As dialog box.

Blank page shown instead of Open/Save As dialog box-CSV file download in IE

I am migrating an application hosted earlier on Oracle 9iAS (9.0.3.1 BP1) to OracleAS 10g (10.1.3) with Struts 1.2.9. While the below JSP code worked for the earlier s/w stack when accessed using IE 5.5 SP2 or above, a blank page is displayed with the new s/w stack. What I mean by "worked earlier" is this. A "Open/Save As" dialog box would appear. Trying to "Open" would open a new IE window launching MS Excel and displaying correct data. Trying to "Save As" would display correct filename and extension in the dialog box.
<%@page autoFlush="false" contentType="application/x-filler"%>
<%
try
String fileName = "ABC.CSV";
String strData = "A,B,C";
response.setContentLength(strData.length());
response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename="+fileName);
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
ouputStream.write(strData.getBytes(), 0, strData.getBytes().length);
ouputStream.flush();
ouputStream.close();
catch(Exception e)
%>
I tried some changes listed below:
1. Deliberately introduced compilation errors in the JSP code.
2. Changed contentType="application/x-filler" to various MIME types like application/x-download, application/vnd.ms-excel, removing it altogether.
3. Commented out response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream") and also tried other MIME types related to CSV/Excel.
4. Changed Content-Disposition from inline to attachment.
Each of the above resulted in an unacceptable behaviour compared with the earlier state:
1. Blank page shown as if nothing was happening even in case of deliberate incorrect JSP syntax.
2. Dialog box did show up with some combinations. But on trying to "Open" or "Save As", the dialog box shows up a second time. Then while trying to "Open", the contents get opened either inline or in MS Excel but with some additional garbage data like source file name.jsp etc. While trying to "Save As" the file name and extension take on the pattern <URL_Pattern>.htm where URL_Pattern would be "DOWNLOAD_ACTION.do".
Some other information:
1. This code works when accessed from desktop local container (Win 2000) but not when deployed on Unix env (HP-UX B.11.11.0109).
2. Latest patchsets are installed for IE.
3. The existing application is designed to work for ONLY IE 5.5 SP2 or above, so I haven't tried with other browsers. I have tried both IE 5.5 SP2 and 6.0 SP1.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time..

I have made it to work with the below changes:
1. Changed the URL pattern for <filter-mapping> for *.jsp to /*.jsp
2. Added <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> and <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
3. Everything else (code-wise) is as before.
Because of these changes, the filter, wherein some headers are being added to the response, is being invoked appropriately now.
Thanks for you time and suggestion though...

Prompting a "Save As" dialog for an accepted mime type

Hi ,
I am using the following code to prompt a "Save As" dialog bod for an xls file:
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
This does work, it prompts the save as dialog box with the name "test.xls" if i click on save. However if i click on open, it displays an error saying the file could not be found.
Any idea how to specify a custom file name for an accepted mime type?
Thanks in advance

Ok let me try & be more clear.
I have a JSP page. In this page there is an "Create Excel" link. When this link is clicked, the JSP dynamically creates the data. Then the following code:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
This causes the file save dialog box to be created. This dialog box has "open" & "save" options.
When the save option is clicked, the user is prompted to save a file named test.xls. However if the user clicks on the "Open" dialog box, then the file is not opened,i get an error message saying the file does not exist.
If i dont specify the
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
Then the file save dialog box displays a default filename which is the same as name of my servlet. This works for both Open as well as save options.
I hope i have not confused you further..:)
Please help!

Strange folders appearing in "Save As" dialog box

Hello
*Description of Problem or Question:
If you open a Web Intelligence report that has been sent to you from your Inbox I have noticed there are "extra" folders I wouldn't expect to see. As an administrator and can see the following extra "strange" folders:
Categories
Inboxes
Internal Storage Folder
Personal Categories
Root Folder
Temporary Storage
User Folders
(Please see attached screenshot)
As a non-admin user I can only see the extra folder "Root Folder".
This does look odd for a non-admin user as they see the same folder structure twice. E.g:
Public Folders
>>Finance Reports
>>Operations Reports
>>Root Folder
>>>>>Finance Reports
>>>>>Operations Reports
Any ideas on how to hide these folders from the "save as" dialog box?
It does only seems to happen if a report is opened from a users Inbox.

Sorry I wasn't clear! When I try to save a 'PDF' file the "save as" dialog box opens. At the bottom the 'file name'is listed and below that it says, "save as type". You then pick what file type you want, like Adobe Reader for PDF. It used to say Adobe Reader as one of the choices but when I downloaded "Rocket PDF" it only says "Rocket PDF or "all files" as the only choices to save the document, no more Adobe Reader as a choice. I have deleted Rocket PDF and under 'default programs (Start button) I have set the "Pdf. files to open with Adobe Reader. Rocket PDF is still listed or' all files', nothing else! How can I get Adobe Reader as a choice back in the 'save as type' box?

Navigate in Word's "Save As" dialog box without mouse

I want to create macros (using QuicKeys) that will Save As documents created in Word using keystrokes alone (no mouse action). In OS 10.5x this could be done by going to the top level of folders that could be selected (this part still works in Snow Leopard); pressing the "tab" key three times (until the first item in the list of folders where I could save was selected); then typing the first letter or two of another folder in the list to select it. In Snow Leopard there seems to be no way to do the second action (for which pressing "tab" three times formerly worked)—although pressing "tab" does navigate to several other places in Word's "Save As" dialog box. Am I wrong?

For the benefit of everyone who has been anxiously awaiting a solution to the problem I posed above on May 9 (both of you), I've found the following workarounds for most navigation needs in Word when doing an Open or Save As... command (these work at least in Mac OS 10.6.8):
(1) To go UP the hierarchy of volumes and folders, press Command - [up arrow key].
(2) To go DOWN the hierarchy of volumes and folders (that is, to open a volume or folder that you have selected), press Shift - Return.
Examples of how to use those moves:
After you trigger Word's “Open” or “Save As...” command, press Command - [up arrow key] a few times to get to the root level of the network, drive, or whatever you are working in. (How many times you need to press that combination will depend on how many levels it contains. But if you are making a macro to do this, have it do that key pressing several times—because once you get to the root level of the network, drive, or whatever, pressing that combination more times does nothing.)
Press Tab three times. This normally results in selecting some volume (or folder) at the root level.
To select another volume (or folder) at the root level, type the first character(s) of its name, or press the [up arrow key] or [down arrow key] as appropriate.
To open a particular folder within that volume (or folder), type the first character(s) of its name to select it, and press Shift - Return; repeat as needed until you get where you wanted to go.
If anyone else likes to use macros to reduce effort in this way, and discovers any better ways to do such things, please add to this thread.

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. User clicks button
2. Save As dialog displays
3. User chooses location
4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
Background:
I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
Concern:
1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
FYI:
I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
Yes but that's only part of it. Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
Yes.
<?php
/* This short script forces a file download.
   For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
   You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
   with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
   Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
   file on your server.
// full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
$Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
// the filename
$theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
//the work gets done here
