Saving duplex as default

Every time I print a pdf file I need to go through the steps to get duplex (double-sided) printing. On some printers it is not so tedious - there's a box that I tick that asks for double-sided. I use a couple of Epson printers (the one nearby right now is an XP-600) and with them I have to go through a number of steps (printer, layout, two-sided printing options, long-edge binding, printer, print) to get the duplex printing. I would like to store that so I don't have to repeat it every time. I have 'duplex' selected in the presets section but this does not seem to help. Between every print command, not just between startups of the adobe program, the information about duplexing is forgotten and things revert to single-sided. Is this an Adobe problem or should I be looking to Epson for an answer?

This is an adobe problem- one that Adobe refuses to address. The problem is that acrobat bypasses the print driver (and all default print settings) unless you click on the "printer..." button. So until adobe fixes this problem you'll have to continue to follow the same steps you have been.

Duplex by default - Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 11.0.10 on a Mac running OS X 10.10.1 with a latest updates installed. I would like to make Adobe Acrobat Pro to print double sided (Duplex) by default. In a printing dialog there is a checkmark called "Print on both sides of paper" which does the trick, but only temporary. I have to check this option each and every time I want to print duplex.
What I tried is to edit preferences file located in /user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist and added key "DuplexMode" under "AVGeneral" and I didn't worked. I did some research online and I found out that previous versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader had no problems with defaulting Duplex option, I even installed Adobe Reader 10.1.2 myself to try and it worked like a charm. Please let me know how can I default Duplex printing on a newest version of Adobe Acrobat? It seem like a bug to me, if it is, let me know when can I expect a software update to fix this? Thank you

I got the precise same problem. I have wasted so much paper by forgetting to click the double-sided, and I just want it to be default.
I have a brand new computer using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 11.0.10 on a Mac running OS X 10.10.2 with a latest updates installed.

How to make duplex printing "default"?

By default, I want to print duplex, but whenever I print, I find that I always have to manually alter the "layout" and tell it to print duplex.
Is there a way to set up a printer to be duplex by default?

After you have set up your desired defaults in the Print dialog, select Save As from the Presets drop down menu. Save your configuration. You can then set that preset for your default.

Duplex by default

I want to make my printer automatically print both sides of the page. The printer (Canon MX870) is capable and I have saved a preset so that I can duplex when I want to. Invariably I forget to set it and 30pages into a 50 page print I realize it went back to Standard printing. Is there a way to make the duplex setting the default setting?
Thanks
TL

That is HUGE. Thank you!
It looks like it's going to work - unfortunately after I turn on automatic duplex printing I hit the button at the bottom - which I believe sets and saves these options. Then I get this prompt:
To view this page, you must log in to area “CUPS” on localhost:631.
It asks for a user name and password.
I don't know what they are. My MBP profile user name and password aren't accepted. I tried admin just for fun and it doesn't work either. Is there a default for this because I haven't set a password for it?
Thanks again for the help.

Re-saving QT files defaults audio slider in any browser to lowest setting

Hey All,
I create h.264 video AAC audio .mov files in QTPRO 7.2 that play audio normally in IE and Firefox but when I need to re-save a file (to add metadata information) it will not play back with any audio. You have to click on the volume icon in the browser player to boost up the audio. Normally this is already defaulted to the highest setting.
I have noticed that any file re-saved has the same affect when played back in a browser but I have not seen any answered posts regarding this problem. Does anyone know if this has ever been addressed?

Hey All,
Thanks for looking into this. The good news is I have answered my own question. The bad news is the answer is "HAD TO WAIT FOR 7.3!!!!!"
Yes QuickTime has solved this bug with the newest version. Also if anyone has created QuickTime files in h.264 (using QuickTime 7.2) and needed to re-save for any reason, you can now re-save these files again in 7.3 and the browser player's audio level will default to the highest setting as it should.
Again thank you to everyone who spent anytime searching an answer to this bug.

Duplex printing default in 10.1.2

I recently updated to 10.1.2. I get a new print dialogue box. The printer also defaults to printing in duplex. I only have one paper tray so I end up having to put paper in the manual tray to print odd pages. How can I change default settings back to single tray?

I can't help but wonder why Adobe doesn't respond to this - at this point there are 464 views of this item and still no answer. I have the same problem and it's a big irritation to have to set the duplex mode everytime I want to print!

Custom Adobe print settings not being saved as a default

We're trying to print pdf labels from a website to either a Citizen CLP-521 or a Zebra GK420d using a custom label size and settings. This works fine when printing from the local PC the printer is connected to. However as soon as we share the printer and try and print from another PC we have to select all of the settings everytime which is time consuming. On the locally connected printer PC each time it is rebooted we have to select the label printer as it goes to the default printer. Subsequently we have to select the custom settings which are then saved until the PC is rebooted. However on the other PC's we are having to select the printer and the custom settings everytime. This is very time consuming when we're trying to print 150 labels each day!
We've tried with different versions of Adobe reader, 7, 8 and 9 loaded on Windows XP Pro SP3. Tried changing various settings in Acrobat but still no joy.
Has anyone else experienced this problem or got any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Uninstalling iTunes and quicktime from your PC does not erase songs you have on your PC nor does it erase the iTUnes Library File. When you do uninstall it iTunes leaves all your songs alone and it leaves behind the iTUnes Library inside the "iTunes" folder. So when you reinstall iTUnes the library is already in place
More info about the library file can be found here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
Also reinstalling iTUnes will reinstall quicktime too. there both bundled together

How remove saved system-wide default for a column

yesterday I saved a system-wide default for a column with a custom column heading and data format.
now, when I drag this column in a new analysis, obiee shows no column heading.
I've tried to save my custom default again or reset to column-default but with no results: the column heading is still empty.
How can I fix this problem?
thanks
Luc

Hello,
What OBI version are you using?
Enter some other custom name for the column (e.g. same as default one) and save it as system-wide. I guess, you have already tried, but...
1. Stop Presentation Services.
2. Go under web catalog in the file system and locate folder \root\system\metadata. This folder contains files storing subject area attributes, including system-wide settings. I the folder find 2 files named similar as the subject area which column you have modified (name will be in lowercase, spaces replaced with +). For example, for "SA System" subject area these files are named as "sa+system" and "sa+system.atr".
3. Backup these 2 files you have found (better whole presentation catalog).
4. Try one of the options:
Option 1: If you have another version of these files (in the backup or other environments) - try to replace them. There is a risk you will loose some other column settings (or inherit new).
Option 2: Modify the file without extension (it contains XML code inside): locate the string similar to your column name. Remove whole section ONLY for the column you have found between tags <sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat and </sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat>.
Below is sample code for column originally named as "Pager" under "User" folder in "SA System" subject area.
<sawsavedformat:metadata xmlns:sawsavedformat="com.siebel.analytics.web/savedformat/v1.1">
<sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormats>
<sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat xmlns:saw="com.siebel.analytics.web/report/v1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawsavedformat:regularColumnSavedFormat" columnName=""SA System"."User"."Pager"">
   <saw:displayFormat><saw:formatSpec suppress="suppress" wrapText="true" hAlign="left" vAlign="top"/></saw:displayFormat>
   <saw:tableHeading><saw:caption fmt="text"><saw:text>User</saw:text></saw:caption><saw:displayFormat/></saw:tableHeading>
   <saw:columnHeading><saw:displayFormat><saw:formatSpec/></saw:displayFormat><saw:caption fmt="text"><saw:text>Pager New</saw:text></saw:caption></saw:columnHeading>
</sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat>
</sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormats>
</sawsavedformat:metadata>
Option 3: Just remove these 2 files. Naturally, you will loose all the settings, not only one you like to get rid off.
5. Restart presentation services.
Hope, this helps.

When saving files, Illustrator defaults back to desktop instead of specific folder.

Whenever I've worked on a file and want to save it to a specific folder (most of the files I work on are saved in folders within folders), Illy keeps defaulting back to the desktop instead of the specific folder. There must be a setting I accidentally activated/deactivated to cause this, but I'm not sure how to change it...!

I'm having the same problem with Illustrator. However, how is it that InDesign seems to have no problem defaulting back to the same folder that Illustrator does not. Also, I can't seem to find any setting to specifically change the default save folder in Illustrator. I don't remember this ever being an issue before today. What's up with that?
OSX 10.9.4
Illustrator 18.0.0
InDesign 10.0.0.70

Now that you've renamed the folder, you just need to install a clean copy of Firefox.
If you don't have a working browser on the broken computer, you can download it on the computer you are chatting on now:
# Download the right version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html (Probably the US English version for Windows)
# When the file is saved, copy it to a flash drive, recordable CD/DVD, removable hard drive, digital camera card, or other disk.
# Take this disk to the computer where you renamed the folder, insert it, then run "Firefox Setup 3.6.7.exe" on this computer. Follow the steps to complete the install.

[SOLVED] LXDM not saving selected session,Default session doesn't work

Hello,
I'm trying to use LXDM to start my desktop. However, every single time I log in, I have to tell it to use XFCE as my session.
Even if I choose it manually, after logout/login it just resets to "Default session" (which doesn't work: just drops back to LXDM).
I looked everywhere in my home directory and not found any place where it stores the session.
Any ideas? lxdm 0.4.1-8, xfce 4.8, x86-64 Arch Linux.
Thanks.

Can I block saving passwords by default but allow a few exceptions?

For my father's PC (who is a senior citizen), I would like to generically block Firefox from remembering passwords. However I would like it to remember the password for a few select websites (Yahoo Mail, Facebook, NYTimes). Is this possible?
You seem to be ale to generically allow Firefox to remember passwords and block certain websites. But not vice-versa.
I've tried going to: "about:permissions" but if you change the Default Permissions for All Pages to Block for Store Passwords, then that also blocks passwords for any individual entries

You will have to toggle the Password Manager on/off to have Firefox save or fill names and passwords.
Only if the Password Manager is enabled then you can use it.
Maybe it is an idea to hide the notification icon and the popup (or only the popup) on the Navigation Toolbar, so that Firefox won't offer to remember passwords.
Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#password-notification-icon { display: none !important; }
#notification-popup[popupid="password-save"] { display: none !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
* Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
* Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

Saving Pictures-Changing Default Name

My friend and I both have Curves. She has ATT and I have Verizon. When she takes a picture, her phone will automatically name it using the time and date (i.e. "0401081101.jpg for April 4, 2008, 11:01AM). My saves in a sequential series (i.e. IMG00089.jpg for the 89th picture I've taken). I can manually rename pics, but what I really want is for it to default and save automatically with the time/date stamp.

Ya, see it the same way.
But I have been argued, that there had been listener-bugs and if os auth is
exploited, it would be good to have password security in addition.
Hummm, local OS-auth as implemented bypasses the password anyway.
I showed it to the auditor, that with a password in place, you can
shut down the listener without a password as a dba-member...
"Please do it anyway..."
BTW, I do not have a system to play with available right now.
Maybe someone can test...
Is it still that you can start a LISTENER with default values, if
no listener with name LISTENER is configured ?
I mind to remember it was that way in 8.something.
I reconfigured LISTENER to LISTENER_DEV and
lsnrctl start
fired up a listener LISTENER on port 1521 without LISTENER being configured.
But don't know if it is still that way in 10.2.

Duplex printing by default on Macs

Is there any way to make adobe reader 10.1.1 print duplex by default on my Mac? At present each time I print something I need to go through the printing options, select printer, and then modify the option to duplex. This is annoying, and only happens on adobe products as far as I can tell.
Considering I sometimes print multi-hundred page documents, getting simplex when I don't expect it is f-n annoying.
If there isn't anyway to do this by default right now, is there a way to suggest gently that they fix it?
thanks
Joel

I can't help but wonder why Adobe doesn't respond to this - at this point there are 464 views of this item and still no answer. I have the same problem and it's a big irritation to have to set the duplex mode everytime I want to print!
