Saving documents with similar file names

When saving documents with similar file names, I used to be able to hit save as button and go to the file folder I wish to use. I could then click an existing file in the folder to draw in the name and then just modify it slightly to create the new name.
In Reader DC I get an error saying this is a read only file an can not be saved. I can save the file if I use a different file name but then I have to go in and rename the file. i.e. if I have a weakly report that I save, I may have the file name "Installerspayroll.we.04.25.15.pdf."
I used to be able to click on the existing file name to bring it into the name box and then just change the date. The updated version is not allowing me to do that, creating more work.

Scanning a document with sequential file names

I have multiple documents every day that I need to scan into PDF format. Is there a way for me to scan the doucment and have Acrobat assign the next sequential file name and save it to a designated directory? I'd like to do it by using a self feeding scanner and not have to go to the computer each time we have to scan something.
We are using Acrobat Professional 7.0 with Windows XP.

I have two different scanners and epson and a cannon, each has software
that will scan to pdf and seguentially number scans.

I created several pdfs & saved them in adobe acrobat pro. I want to start all over & want to delete these pdfs so I am not confused with more than one document with similar titles. How do I delete the document

I am working on a big project & creating everything in word. I then am turning the documents into PDF format so they will be easy for everyone to open. I have several PDFs that are not the way I want them & want to delete them so I don't have so many documents with similar names. Is there a way to delete a pdf from my saved document?? This is probably very simple & I am over thinking it, but appreciate any help.

I was able to figure it out, & just as I thought way to simple! UGH!

Bug:Downloading pdf file from the web,file name in dialog box populates with incorrect file name

Hi Gurus
When downloading any pdf file from the web using adobe Reader X the file name dialog box populates with incorrect file name
compared to the saved file name of the document downloaded.
Clarity
1. Download any pdf file from the web
2. Click File, Save as note the populated File Name
3. Compare the populated file name with the saved file name of the documant yuo are downloading.
4. The file Name is incorrect...
Is there any work around on this issue?Can someone please help?..
OS:Windows7
Reader: Adobe Reader X
I've tried a couple of other versions and still get the same results...

Are you downloading the file (right-click, save link as), or just opening it by clicking it?
If the latter, then what happens is the file is loaded to the temporary internet files folder by IE and assigned a temporary name, which is then used when you're trying to save it.
You can test this out by going to File - Document Properties before trying to save and looking at the file's location.

Save As with suggested file name and folder

I would like the user to be able to press a save button on the pdf and the "Save As dialogue box" pops up pre-populated with a file name and location choosen. The user can then choose to name the file something otherwise or select a new location. I would just like to save them the steps of copying the field data and finding the correct folder (deeply buried on server) however to place the finished document in.
This doesn't seem to require a trusted function, but how do I suggest the file name based on a field name in the document. And how do I suggest the folder the document should be saved into?
Thanks in adavance.

Hi,
you need a folder level script to use the browseForDoc method.

Aperture skipping import of similar file names?

I discovered this this other day and raised the question in a "top 10 Aperture Suggestions" post. I've done more investigating since then without coming up with a solution. So I'm going to post it as it's own question here.
Up to now my workflow has included aquiring images from either a negative scanner (which creates a TIFF), or a Nikon D100 digital camera (which creates an NEF). From there I open up the original in Photoshop, make any manipulations I need to and save the new file as a psd in the SAME folder as the original. I can easily keep track of images I have manipulated because I can see the psd right next to the original TIFF or NEF.
I end up with images called something like photo01.TIFF and photo01.psd. They are completely different files, the TIFF being the original and the psd being the cleaned up, manipulated version - both in the same folder.
Here's the problem. Aperture doesn't recognize that there are two different files there. Perhaps because the file names before the extension are the same, it ignores the second one during the import process.
During my latest experiment I took an original TIFF scan of a negative called 129_20.TIFF, opened it in photoshop, did some color correction, and saved it back to the same folder, calling it 129_20.psd. I also created a smaller websized jpg of the same image and called it 129_20.jpg. Now even though there are three files in the folder with admittedly similar file names, anyone would be able to tell that they are actually different files, the original TIFF, the modified psd, and the jpg for the web.
When I try to import those images into Aperture using either the Import>Folders into a Project command, or the Import>Images command, Aperture only sees the original TIFF and only imports that TIFF instead of the three that are in the folder. If I take the TIFF out of the folder and try again, now Aperture sees the jpg file and I can import that, but not the psd. If I take both the TIFF and the jpg out of the folder and try again, of course only now does it see the psd.
Once the images are imported into Aperture, I notice that file name extensions are not visible under the images, so unless I click on one and use the Info window or ToolTips to show the meta data, I cannot easily see which version of the image I'm looking at in Aperture because it doesn't display the .TIFF, .psd, or .jpg extensions.
This is troubling to me and I hope I've simply not come across some setting somewhere that will help Aperture "see" my different versions of the same image. There doesn't seem to be anything on the boards or the Aperture manual directly about this. I've stopped importing because after 14,000 images, I've realized I'm "missing" all of my Photoshop corrected ones. Before I continue importing, I'd like to figure out if there is a work-around, if it's operator error, or if Aperture doesn't can't tell the difference between similar files names with different extentions.
Sorry about the length of this, but I'm trying to be thorough.

Yes I discovered exactly the same thing whilst trying to overcome another problem - that aperture lost metadata on tiffs saved with IBM PC bytes rather than Mac bytes ( in this case out of house scans done on a PC ). I tried saving my files as tiff Mac, psd and jpg in the same folder but with the same name apart from the extension. As you say Aperture only sees them as one file ( although it adds up their combined file size according to the image information dialogue box window ). On import it only imports one file. If you use the 'Import Folders into a project' option from the file menu it sees the three files in the navigation section OK but again only imports one. I then experimented with doing major changes in image size and adjustments and of course that made no difference.
I did find that I could import the files individually by dragging them one by one into a project but of course that is no help if you have thousands to import.
After some thought I decided that perhaps that was in tune with the idea behind Aperture being that you have only one master file which you then repurpose and export as required. My conclusion about Aperture at the moment is that it would be great if we were all starting from scratch but that it is struggling to cope with the admittedly enormous task of dealing with photographers who have massive libraries of existing images created, processed, keyworded and stored in all sorts of programs. Clearly we all need access to these and the info they contain as well as dealing with our future work.
Sorry not to be more help.
Best wishes

Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).

I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard. I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air. Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out. But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all. I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well. Documents are opening beautifully!

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
Script follows:
// this script is another variation of the script addTimeStamp.js that is installed with PS7
//Check if a document is open
if ( documents.length > 0 )

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Barry

Batch document title from file name?

Forgive the newb question on a fairly simple matter.
I want to create File Info: Document Titles from file names, minus the extension, for about 400 images.
Is this possible with Batch rename, if so what am I missing?
Thanks,

I am unclear how a batch rename will enter data into File Info: Document Title.
I have never used them but you might look at metadata templates. Several sites on web on how to set them up and what they will do for you.

Receiving "The Itunes Library file cannot be saved. A duplicate file name was specified".

Itunes Version 10.5.3.3
Using Iphone 4 on Windows 7 Proffesional PC.
Keep getting "The Itunes Library file cannot be saved. A duplicate file name was specified" when trying to sync Itunes with Iphone.
Have tried the following steps;
first you have to locate your last library file, you can do this by clicking Edit-preferences-advanced. it will show you the itunes media folder location. then close Itunes
open your folder and locate the last library (libraries are saved with date names, find the most recent one or the one that was last modified).
change the name of the library to today´s date following the format it already has. you will have to change the name for libraries: .itl, .xml, genius and extras.
once you have changed the name to today´s date on the 4 libraries you will have to delete all other libraries existing on the same folder or on a folder named "previous itunes libraries". it is also recommended to delete the itunes "preferences file" .dat (usually 1kb) and the "sentinel" file.
so, you will have on your itunes media folder only 4 libraries: .itl .xml genius and extras.
the next step is to click the itunes icon holding the "shift" key . itunes will ask you to either "quit, choose library or create library" click on choose library. then locate the library you just renamed with today´s date and extension .itl
done, itunes will open with the last saved version of your library. keep in mind that some changes or songs will not be present if you added any while getting the error "itunes cannot save the library file. a duplicate name has been specified" just locate the songs and add them again, if you have the option "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library" checked. then go to file-add folder or file-and locate the songs missing on the itunes media folder.itunes saves the files on the hard drive but does not save the changes on the library.
No luck.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I found the solution:

hope this is clear enough.

I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)" more........ .

Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do i print a photo with the file name

This seem stupid simple but I cannot find an answer anywhere. I want to print out hardcopies of phots with the file name printed with the photo. In Windows there is a program called Picture Manager (which has been eliminated in Office 2013) where you can open a folder of images, rename them individually or in batches, resize, edit, etc, all in one lovely program. You can print out individual or contact sheets with specific information for each image. Easy, one program, easy results.
Is there a comparable program for the Mac? I have searched the web and can only find suggestions that use multiple progams, downloads, plugins, and convoluted work arounds to do this. I have tried printing contact sheets in iPhoto but it crashed each time. Our IT guy suggested moving the images into an album and printing from there but it still crashes. And even if it worked I want large image per page but iPhoto leaves a large amount of white space.
The quickest way I have figured out is this:
Select the images in Finder, make a separate folder and copy the images there. (3steps)
Locate the folder in Finder and drag it to the Bridge icon (4steps)
Select the images in Bridge, adjust the output settings and Save as a pdf (6steps)
Locate the pdf in Finder, open in Acrobat, select the images (again!) and print (9steps)
