Setting a pdf file as my personal homescreen

Is it possible to set a pdf file as my personal homescreen for the Curve 8300 series? If yes, how?

Hi Rich,
Some additional info might be helpful. When you downloaded the file, did it open in your browser, or in Acrobat or Reader, or did you save directly to disk? Do I understand correctly that you are trying to to print the downloaded file to PDF - if so why when it is already a PDF? What instructions don't work? It kinda sounds like you downloaded a corrupt file, but hard to be sure. Have you tried downloading and opening other PDFs to see if this is a repeatable error? Could you post a link to the troublesome file you downloaded?
Hopefully this will not end up driving you crazy but if it does at least you will be crazy in Manhattan Beach!

How to set default .PDF file extension for Form Downloads

I am trying to find a way of setting the PDF file extension when I download forms.
I author the forms under a Plus subscription and am then downloading the forms under a basic subscription Collaborator account (diffrent person)
If I don't include .pdf as the file type when downloading a form with a unique name as the Collaborator, it downloads without a file extension.
Remembering to continually add the pdf file extension is a pain so I'm hoping there is away of setting this as a defaulet for my 'collaborator' account ?

Firstly, apologies for multiple posts, I received messages saying my comment hadn't posted and also checked my history before re-submitting.
Okay, the process is
1. Log in as the Author account and I can rename the file without having to set the extension
2. Log in as the Collaboartor account - same PC, browser etc and it doesn't save with a default file extension; HOWEVER, I have done this whilst also being logged in on a diffrent browser as the Author
3 I have just tried logging out as Author and only being in as the collaborator and the form downloaded with a default PDF.
4. I had someone else log in as the collaborator from thei PC and browser whilst I was still signed inunder my author account and again they were unable to save as PDF by default
This has me wondering if there is anything at play when you've got multiple Users?

Changing the setting from PDF file to a JPEG file.

Is there a way I can change the scan setting on my printer. It is a HP Deskjet F4480. I want to change the setting from PDF file to a JPEG file. I want to scan them so I can see them on my screen saver.

This has nothing to do with Acrobat. See the documentation for the scanner software that came with your scanner.

Time setting in pdf file presentation

Can I set different times for different pages of my pdf file when using the whole screen presentation in Adobe Reader? Thanks a lot!

You can change the 'auto-flip' delay on each page in Acrobat, but not in Reader. You do it by right-clicking each page in the left sidebar and choosing "Page transitions".

Time setting for pdf file presentation

Can I set different times for different pages of my pdf file when using the whole screen presentation in Adobe Reader? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that needs to be done in the creation of the PDF in Acrobat. Best to ask in that forum

Strange PDF files printing inverted colors!?

I help support an office with several macs. Two of my remote office computers have an odd problem. In Apple Preview PDF files print inverted colors. If I open the PDF in Adobe reader they print normal. They are both trying to print to Samsung ML320 printers. I have yet to find any settings in Preview or in the printer setup that would allow this to happen. For now my fix is to set Adobe reader as the default application for viewing PDF files. Worked until one employee (also running Mac) sent the remote offices a PDF file attached in Apple Mail. Somehow ONLY PDF files from this person force default to Apple Preview. How can a file override system settings to choose it's default app? Strange and again only files coming for this particular mac force a default to Preview app. So it seems these two problems combined are making things difficult here. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
A.J.

I am still having this issue on a users machine. It is to the point where I may just reimage the whole laptop. The end user went to print a two page PDF from Apple Preview the other day and the first page was inverted and the second was not! How is this possible? The PDF is fine when printed from other machines and again only Apple Preview does this. I can use Adobe PDF reader and it prints normal.

How can I incorporate an overlay with fields into a PDF file?

Once a week, I produce a timesheet. It's a PDF document generated by a third-party time-recording app, and it has room for hand-filling in signatures/dates/names, etc - 7 fields all told.
What I want to do is build a separate document containing an equivalent block of 7 PDF-fillable fields such that:
I can overlay the PDF-fillable fields on the space for hand-filling fields on the timesheet;
I can send the combined PDF file to another person in order to collect their name and (ink) signature.
I can then fill in my own (ink) signature, etc.
I can do the same thing week in, week out with no fiddling of fields, etc.
I got tantalizingly close (I have Windows Acrobat X Pro). I built the PDF-fillable form as a separate PDF, and merged it into a sample timesheet as a Background (and I also tried using a Watermark). However:
some of the seven PDF-fillable fields simply vanish;
one of the remaining fields seems to have picked up a name and formatting from another deleted field (is there some kind of uncleared cache in play?);
all the remaining fields were marked as Read-Only.
Update:
FWIW, I got it to work by reversing the files - i.e. by using the timesheet itself as the background.
When I add the Background (regardless of which is the main document), I get a series of warnings indicating that fields in the Background bearing the same name as those in the main document will get lost, but from what I can tell, fields in the same location as those on the main document also get lost.
When I use the template as the main document, things fall into place and the scheme works.
However, the situation seems like a fairly routine one that should be easier to solve. Ideally, I'd like to build a layer on top of the timesheet form and save that layer as an overlay.
TIA
Josh

Did you ever figure out how to overlay something on a PDF form? I've created buttons to allow a user to change out the background, but I want to have an image and possibly other elements on that.

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
$theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
//the work gets done here
header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
readfile($Path2File);
?>
Name this file zip2download.php.
Add a link to your HTML page:
<a href="zip2download.php">Download Zip</a>

Create PDF file which will write to mdb

HI there.
I have a requirement to add some code to a set of PDF files which will be read by members of my team as part of their induction. Each pdf has a form at the end which captures their name and a tickbox to state that they have read the document. When a submit button as part of the form is clicked I would like to write these basic details to an access mdb database so that we can keep a check of who is compliant with the induction process.
Is it possible to use Livecycle designer to create a document which will do this when opened in Adobe Reader? I don't need the code to do this - just need to know if it is possible. If not are there any other ways I could save the information on the form silently without the user needing to do anything other than submit the information?
I've read somewhere that for certain things to work you need to activate some kind of reader extensions - is that the case for this solution?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Matt

Hi Matt,
Yes, if the user has the free Adobe Reader, then database access will require the form to be Reader Enabled in LC/ADEP Reader Extensions.
While you can Reader Enable a form in Acrobat (with restrictions), connecting to a database is not permitted.
See here for a summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Why doesn't "Preview" open my .PDF files on my computer?

Hello Guys,
My "Preview" program stopped opening .PDF files about a week ago. The program shows up in the dock, but it doesn't display the PDF. It displays JPEG's no problem, but for some reason it' doesnt open PDF fils.It is driving me crazy. I have googled and googled, but no luck in fixing my problem.
I have even set the PDF files to "always open with preview"
Any help would be greatly appreciatd
Thanks in advance
-Miguel

I suspect your problem has to do with the file on the drive that stores the preferences to open what up with what program.
I don't know exactly what that preference file is, but I know of a way to check for corruption of the preference files and once you know which one is corrupted, then we can delete it and it will rebuild.
So do the #12 and #13 OnyX routines here, that will also clear your caches and speed up your machine a little as well.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Once #13 is competed then see this Ut here.

After installing Acrobat 9.4 I lost the choice to save or open a pdf file. How do I fix it?

When using Acrobat 4.05 or 5.0 I was given a choice to open a pdf file or save the file. When I updated to Acrobat 9.4 I lost that option. It always opens the file with some different file name. If I disable the plug in Firefox does nothing. No save or open.

You can see if you find an action in "Tools > Options > Applications" and change the setting for PDF files to always ask.

Rename PDF file attachment

Is it possible to submit a form via email as a whole PDF but rename the PDF attachment in the process? I am using Acrobat X. I would like to set the PDF file name attachment to the value of a form field.

Yes, I have access but the local machine of every user is a mobile device (specifically an iPad). So I don't think that's possible. So this cannot be done via JavaScript when a button is pressed before the submit operation takes place? The iPad app does allow the execution of JavaScript in the PDF.
--- NEW CODE GOES HERE TO RENAME THE PDF ---
this.submitForm({
    cURL:strMailTo,
    aFields: aSubmitFields,
    cSubmitAs: "PDF"

Settings for when opening pdf files

Hello,
Is it possible to set a pdf file so that when opened it appears at 75% its full size (or so it opens to the size of the screen)?
Thanks

Yes. In Acrobat, go to File > Document Properties.

Writing PDF files - Crashes after a certain point

Post Author: virtitel
CA Forum: .NET
I have a 2003 .NET project that iterates through a recordset to write pdf files out into personalized directories.
The process works fine on my work computer but on my laptop, it crashes after about 110 reports written (out of up to 900).
I crashes on the export. What gives? Is there a resource limit of some kind? I can't find anything on it.
Would LOVE some help with this.
Thanks!

Hi there
Have you tried using the preloader? My guess as to what is happening is that perhaps things are simply taking some time to load up. I suppose you might somewhat confirm that by trying the playback again. If my suspicions are correct, you should see that they either play fully the second time through with no issues or that they play longer than they did on the previous try without pausing.
Cheers... Rick
