Set File Open dialog path in Acrobat

Hi forum,
Is there a way to set the path for the File Open dialog that shows in Acrobat?
The situation I have is that the navigation up and down folders to Watermarks and files to be inserted is a painful process.
I would like to add buttons to the add-on toolbar that set the File Open dialog path to predefined folders, however after reviewing the Javascript guide it looks like this simple task is not possible, or exposed by the API.
Could someone please confirm if this is possible or not?
Thanks
Simon

No, it's not possible.

  • 30EA3 - Windows: incorrect "mydocument" path in File- Open dialog window

    Hi,
    I have noticed this error in previous versions as well. On windows, users can change the default mydocument path. After the change, all windows file dialogues with the 'mydocuments' shortcut open the new, changed directory.
    In SQL Developer, the File->Open dialog window has a 'My Documents' shortcut which uses the constant path C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents. Instead of this shortcut, the program should lookup the real value of the Mydocuments path and should open the correct directory.

    Thats true. We use use the default.
    We could look at the registry and check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders for the "My Documents" if it is set.

  • File Open Dialog Box

    Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open".  All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user.  True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4).  Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network.  Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

    In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue".  This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations.  In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog.   Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4.  (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)

  • Single click in file open dialogs in KDE4.1

    Hi,
    In my KDE 4.1, there's something that doesn't seem right:
    If in system settings, mouse&keyboard, I set the option "Double-click to open files and folders", then it doesn't actually  listen to that setting.
    In a file open dialog, it opens a file already with a single click. This makes it very hard to select multiple files in the dialog (e.g. when opening files with kate), because if you press CTRL and click on the file, instead of just making a selection of it, it opens that 1 file and closes the file open dialog.
    Is this really the intention? How can I select multiple files that are not all below each other?
    Is it the intention that it doesn't listen to the double click setting? And is it the intention that the behaviour is inconsistent with any other desktop environment? I mean, they didn't just change something universally accepted, right?

    I mean if I just use the below script, it works.
    getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe',
    'v_vista_b5.html')");
    but if I want to control 2 iframes in one clicking, it
    doesn't work(it basically load only the second statment, and skips
    the first). I'd like to know is it possible to combine below 2
    javascript into one?
    getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe',
    'v_vista_b5.html')");
    getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('topframe',
    'top_v_vista_b5.html')");
    thanks again.

  • Show File Open Dialog and get File

    Am creating a document where I want to prompt the user with the File Open dialog box and when a file is selected, I want to get that file and attach to the document. I know the scripting allows files to be attached but how do I display the dialog and then attach using the script.
    Will greatly appreciate the help.
    Am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7
    Thanks
    Nilesh!

    Hi Nilesh,
    You can use the getDataObject method of the Adobe document object. Below is a sample script that you can attach to the click event of a button to see how it works. For more information on importDataObject and getDataObject go to
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/javascript/AcroJS.pdf
    SAMPLE
    ======
    //Get a handle to the Adobe document object
    var doc = event.target;
    //Display a file dialog box and assign the name Attachment to the
    //DataObject that contains the selected file.
    doc.importDataObject("Attachment");
    //Get the DataObject and store it in MyData
    var MyData = doc.getDataObject("Attachment");
    //Clear and display the console window
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    //Output the properties of the DataObject
    for (var i in MyData) console.println("MyData." + i + "=" + MyData[i]);

  • Calling Windows File Open Dialog from Forms

    Has anyone used the File Open Dialog of MS-Windows from within
    forms? How do you invoke it and how do you pass arguements (in
    and out) to communicate with it?

    GET_FILE_NAME built-in
    Description
    Displays the standard open file dialog box where the user can
    select an existing file or specify a new file.
    Syntax
    FUNCTION GET_FILE_NAME
    (directory_name VARCHAR2,
    file_name VARCHAR2,
    file_filter VARCHAR2,
    message VARCHAR2,
    dialog_type NUMBER,
    select_file BOOLEAN;
    Built-in Type unrestricted function
    Returns VARCHAR2
    Enter Query Mode yes
    Parameters
    directory_name     
    Specifies the name of the directory containing the file you want
    to open. The default value is NULL. If directory_name is NULL,
    subsequent invocations of the dialog may open the last directory
    visited.
    file_name     
    Specifies the name of the file you want to open. The default
    value is NULL.
    file_filter     
    Specifies that only particular files be shown. The default
    value is NULL. File filters take on different forms, and
    currently are ignored on the motif and character mode
    platforms. On Windows, they take the form of Write Files
    (*.WRI)|*.WRI| defaulting to All Files (*.*)|*.*| if NULL.
    On the Macintosh the attribute currently accepts a string such
    as Text.
    message     
    Specifies the type of file that is being selected. The default
    value is NULL.
    dialog_type     
    Specifies the intended dialog to OPEN_FILE or SAVE_FILE. The
    default value is OPEN_FILE.
    select_file     
    Specifies whether the user is selecting files or directories.
    The default value is TRUE. If dialog_type is set to SAVE_FILE,
    select_file is internally set to TRUE.
    ** Built-in: GET_FILE_NAME
    ** Example: Can get an image of type TIFF.
    DECLARE
    filename VARCHAR2(256)
    BEGIN
    filename := GET_FILE_NAME(File_Filter=> 'TIFF Files (*.tif)
    |*.tif|');
    READ_IMAGE_FILE(filename, 'TIFF', 'block5.imagefld);
    END;

  • [SOLVED] Gtk3 file open dialog Gio error

    When opening a file open dialog in a Gtk3 app after the update to 3.8, programs fail with the following error:
    GLib-GIO-ERROR **: attempting to create schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' without a path
    I tried running gsettings-data-convert and glib-compile-schemas manually with no avail. The file /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml contains
    <schema id='org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' path='/org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/'>
    so there is a path specified in the schema. Judging by the source of Gio, Passing NULL for the path to the GSettings constructor (which presumable happens here) should be legal in this case.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks.
    Last edited by kris7t (2013-04-25 16:58:19)

    Ah, finally found the reason for this. I had an old-ish Gtk+ (git HEAD of branch gtk-3-6 from a few weeks before) installed from source in /usr/local. Somehow its schemas took precendence over 3.8, resulting in the error.

  • Enable to record the File Open Dialog window using SHDB

    Hi All,
    I am using CV02N for BDC recording.
    In this transaction I hae a File Browser button, which opens File Open Dialog window (using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG method). Using this I can given the file name and Open.
    But, this File Open Dialog windows is not getting recorded using SHDB.
    Please help me how to solve this problem.
    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi,
    I doubt you can record the file open functionality in BDC.
    if there is any field which requries file path and directory better make it uniform and hard code it.

  • File open dialog to just get the user selected file name

    Hi,
    I am working on asynchronous file storage to KPRO through my ABAP WD application. For this asynchronous upload
    operation, I just need the file name and file path(not the content). The KPRO servers could be made to use SAPFTP, SAPHTTP in the background to upload documents (triggered via tRFC's).
    Is it possible to have a file open dialog (similar to java file open) which just returns the file path and file name instead of the
    content? Current fileUpload UI element also loads the content which is not desired behaviour for me (because could be a performance problem with large documents uploading).
    Is it possible to select multiple filenames? Thomas Jung's Flash island multiple upload works, but not in my
    asynchronous scenario. Because flex fileReferenceList + upload operation works synchronously.

    You must remember the START-OF-SELECTION event here,  after you select the file name and click F8, the START-OF-SELECTION event is triggered, but if it is not there, nothing will happen.

  • File Open Dialog Box Hiding Behind - Urgent

    Hi All
    We have write code for Opening File in File Open Dialog Box. But its stays in inactive mode behind SBO. Once we press ALT +TAB only then we can see it. How to Activate it or make it visible automatically in SAP Business One.
    The Code for Opening File we have written is in C#
    <b>OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
    objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "
                        objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (.xls)|.xls";
                        if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()!= DialogResult.Cancel)
    string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
    }</b>
    Thanks in Advance
    Asutosh

    Common problem... Do the following instead.
    System.Windows.Forms.Form form = new System.Windows.Forms.Form();
    form.TopMost = true;
    OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
    objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\";
    objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (*.xls)|*.xls";
    if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(form)!= DialogResult.Cancel)
    string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
    That should do it

  • File Open Dialog Box  on Button Click

    Hi
    I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
    I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
    Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
    I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
    But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
    I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

    HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

  • File open dialog box broken in all apps! ( 10.5.6/7

    Hi, I've got a very odd problem that Apple phone support seem to be unable to solve.
    Basically, every file open dialog box system wide is broken, from file->open in textedit to the browse button on websites for uploading files.
    When trying to display this finder panel, it beachballs for ten seconds then gives me a grey area where the usual finder browser usually resides and the open / cancel buttons at the bottom of the panel.
    I've repaired permissions which had no effect.
    The finder works perfectly other than it's little file open dialog which other applications use...
    Updating to 10.5.7 did nothing to fix the issue.
    Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
    Thanks!
    chris.

    V.K. had you create another user to eliminate the possibility that it is a preference file causing the problem. It was reported the problem remained with another user, so the problem is system wide, not with a single user's preferences.
    The Archive & Install is relatively painless. It only replaces the system and leaves everything else untouched. What is replaced is saved in a new folder it creates named Previous System, in case there is something there you might want to bring back (most often 3rd party files, but I have never needed anything from the Previous System folder).
    The only hassle with the A & I is resetting preferences. If you check the option during the A & I to retain user settings, there is usually not very much that needs resetting.

    going from 6i to 10g is a migration. That's no easy step normally.
    client-server-functionality has gone. web-functionality is new.
    Install the new webutil-toolset from oracle and use the new file-open-dialog from the webutil.pll. That's the way you work in the new 10g-environment.
    Read in the forms-section of the OTN the migration-papers and the webutil-doc's
