Saving a PDF to a specific directory - using a shortcut

We work with various applications that create PDF's and then we need to save them to one of several locations on a server. When you click on Save As (Shift+ctrl+s) you open a dialog box and then must drill for your directory. Is there a way to create a shortcut in this space as you can do in Windows? We could then list our favorites and avoid all the drilling we have to do every time we save.

If it always opens to the same default folder, just place a shortcut there
and then double-click it when the Save As dialog opens...

Workbook is not getting saved in PDF format on website directory

I have an Excel workbook, which I am trying to save in Pdf file format on website directory at azure, and after creating pdf uploading it on azure blob storage. The code is working fine on local but on web server it is not uploading pdf on storage,
Code Ex:
//Save the document in html format
workbook.Save(excelFile);
string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetRandomFileName();
string realPath = Server.MapPath("~/Content/");
string pdfFile = realPath + fileName + ".Pdf";
workbook.Save(pdfFile, SaveFormat.Pdf);
Below code I am using to upload PDf file on Storage:
private string UploadPdfFileToStorage(string filePath, string fileName)
//Console.WriteLine("Second:=>" + filePath);
// Retrieve storage account from connection string.
var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageConnectionString"));
// Create the blob client.
CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
// Retrieve a reference to a container.
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("reporthtmlfiles");
// Create the container if it doesn't already exist.
container.CreateIfNotExists();
//Permit container for public acces
container.SetPermissions(new BlobContainerPermissions { PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Container });
fileName = fileName + ".pdf";
CloudBlockBlob blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(fileName);
blockBlob.Properties.ContentType = "application/pdf";
byte[] file = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
MemoryStream objMemoryStream = new MemoryStream(file);
objMemoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
blockBlob.UploadFromStream(objMemoryStream);
objMemoryStream.Close();
return blockBlob.Uri.AbsoluteUri;
Please help, thanks in advance

Hi,
Based on your description, your pdf file is saved to server side, so if you try above code on your local, you could read the file, but, if host your application to azure, you need to get the file stream first, then upload from the stream. Please set
the breakpoint at: "byte[] file = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);" check this file variable.

Opening a specific directory using JFileChooser.

Iam using JFIleChooser to select a file is there any way that i the dialog opens at a particular directory say...c:\gallery\imagee...the default dialog opens @ MyDocuments Folder.

Read the API documentation of the class, especially coustructor section.

MS Word saving a document to a specific directory

I have a very simple example:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
open ":mypath:myfile.doc"
save as active document file name "test.pdf" file format format PDF
close active document
end tell
This saves the contents of myfile.doc in pdf format in a file called test.pdf. But it places this in ~/Documents.
I dont seem to be able to specify an alternative path in the file name argument. Either it ignores the path if I use something like:
"foo:test.doc"
or it explodes with an error for something like:
":foo:test.doc" where :foo is /foo.
I assume there is perhaps some kind of property.
Is there a more efficient way to learn MS Word and applescript? I know its not an apple product (dohhh). If this was windows and vbscript they allow you to record a macro and effectively it gives you the code.
error "Microsoft Word got an error: active document doesn’t understand the save as message." number -1708 from active document

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
To save in a different location to the default you need to provide a full path to the new location:
You could say ((path to desktop) as string) & "test.xxx" OR
"Macintosh HD:Users:yourusername:Desktop:text.xxx"
Note that if the file already exists, it will be overwritten without alerting you.
I am using Office 2004, which does not allow save as PDF. You might need to verify that this format is available in the version you are using. So, using RTF as the format, this works:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;">
tell application "Microsoft Word"
open (((path to documents folder) as string) & "Original Document.doc") as alias
save as active document file name (((path to desktop) as string) & "New Document.rtf") file format format rtf
close active document
end tell </pre>
To address your question about learning AS for Word, I assume you know that you can open the application's dictionary in Script Editor? (Descriptions can be somewhat obtuse, however.)

Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders . How to disable this? Does my PC folders are also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks

Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders as well with a browsing option . How to disable this? Does my PC folders will also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi indi68632954,
I can understand your concern & you need to worry about this, as your PC folders won't be available on other PC's as this option is just to browse through the files of the specific system on which you are working as shown in the screenshot below.
Only the files uploaded on the Document cloud will be available over Internet using Adobe Document Cloud service upon the authentication of your Adobe ID & password.
I hope this will answer your query.
In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to assist you.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

I have saved a form in pdf and i want to use it in my business i need to save it so i can fill in

i want to use a form i saved in pdf, i want to fill it in and it will not let me type on it. how to i save it and use it when i need it?

If the document is not secured, you should be able to use Acrobat to add form fields if you want to fill-in the form more than once. If only once, it might be easier to just use the Typewriter tool to add text. The Form Wizard in Acrobat will attempt to add foem fields automatically, but you will probably want to edit them to suit your needs. Do you think that the document already has form fields and that Acrobat is not allowing you to interact with them?

I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.

i downloaded a form and saved as pdf yet cannot attach to email, says in use but all are closed help!

for the moment you can Forcequit, as Eustace said.
Really quit a program you do by clicking the menu bar of the program where its name is, on the bottom you see "Quit (appname)"; when it is in the Dock, rightclick it in the Dock and choose "Quit".
Now about yout attachment: it does not matter what you did to it and where you moved it, as long as Preview is still open it doesn't let it go.

Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

Incorrectly coloured text when saving to .PDF using Photoshop CS4

I am using Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and have designed my own business card.
When saving to .PDF to send to printers I am finding that a small section of text is saving with a white section to it, for example out of the 3 lines of text on the card the bottom left hand corner of the & sign I have in the design is coming out white, the rest of the text is a golden colour.
I have tried searching on this forum and on google but can't seem to find anyone with my actual problem so unsure where to go.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Or make the Type and Hyphen layers into a single Smart Object and clip a yellow layer to it.

Saving spool request with multiple Adobe PDF files to local directory

Hi,
I have a spool file with multiple Adobe PDF files in it. You can only save the spool content to local directory by opening and save each PDF files. Does anyone know whether there is a way to combine all the PDF files within a spool into one big PDF file?

Are you using any plugins, like PDFlyer?

Can use RBAC for grant privilege to user on specific directory or not?

If I want user "aaa:group1" to have write privilege on specific directory of user "bbb:group2" (such as /export/home/bbb).
Can I use RBAC Feature for this case? How to?
Because basic permission of Unix very large scope (user, group, other).
If I specific folder "/export/home/bbb" to rwxrwxr-x, then change group of user "aaa" to group2. Other user in group2 will have write privilege too.
Thank you.

If you want fine grain control over directory permissions than the feature you want are access control lists (acl's).
Try man setfacl, though I warn you that the documentation for acl's are pretty confusing...

Location/directory used by JRE, for saving the temporary Internet files

Hello sir,
I am working on a project( in JavaFX ) which takes the URL of a streaming FLV video( eg: http://sun.edgeboss.net/download/sun/media/1460825906/1460825906_11810873001_09c01923-00.flv ) as input and plays it in Media Player component.
I have successfully played the streaming video, by taking the aid of sample project, Media Box( http://javafx.com/samples/MediaBox/ ).
Now I am interested in knowing the location/directory, where these temporary Internet files will be downloaded to. Please let me know, the location/directory used by JRE( on both Windows and Linux ) for saving the temporary Internet files. Also let me know, if there is any possibility of changing that location/directory.
Thanks for any help, in advance.

You should avoid posting the same message multiple times...
By definition, streaming is supposed to play the received movie data on the fly, without intermediary file. Now, it depends on implementation, if that's real streaming, etc., so in practice there might be a temp file, or not.
But this temp location will be, obviously, highly dependent on the current system (even between WinXP and Win7, for example). You can find the answer experimentally, eg. on Windows by using Sysinternals' Process Monitor application (did that to find out where Storage files go), but it is brittle.
I doubt there is (an official) way to know that from within the JavaFX application...
