Setting proper file extensions for downloadable links?

I'm trying to create a link on a webpage to download an InDesign file (*.indd) and a PDF.  The link for the pdf works fine, but whenver I try to test the page and download the .indd file from the website, I get a *.indd.html file and the size of the file has changed by a lot.  The link is correctly directed, and the file is correctly uploaded. Here is the website and code snippet used:
http://www.cheungdesigns.info/MMM.html
HTML code:
<p><a href="MeatlessMeals.indd" target="_blank">InDesign file</a></p>
Can anybody see the problem?

Zip it.   Providing the file isn't too huge, a zipped file should download OK.

  • Set default PDF extension for Downloaded Forms - Collaborator

    Is there a way of making .PDF the deafult file extension for downloaded forms?
    I'm trying to dteremine if this feature is controlled by the actual subscription type pr the access type.
    I have a Basic User Account setup as a Collaborator on a form which I author under a Plus subscription. I would like the default file type to be .PDF for any forms that are saved with their own unique name. However, unless I include the .PDF as part of the file name, the file saves without an extension.
    Is there a way that I can set this as a default for the Collaborator because having to remeber to add the file extension is a pain.

    Please see my response in your other post of the same question: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343769?tstart=0

  • File extension for: cl_gui_frontend_services= file_open_dialog

    Hello,
    I would like to set the file extension for cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog such that my default extension in the file open dialogue is the .csv (comma-separated value) file. May I know how can I do that?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Howeer, I tried to use the extension of CSV and the file dialogue opened up with .RTF (which is the default extension) instead.

  • Custom File Extension for Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)

    I'm trying to use a custom file extension for the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) driver.
    I have updated the FileExtns registry to have my new extension.
    When I issue the following it does not work.
    select [NoName] 
    from openrowset('MSDASQL'
               ,'Driver={Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)};
                    DefaultDir=c:\filedir'
               ,'select * from "file.lst"')
    If I make the file a .csv it works fine.  However, if it has an extension of not CSV or TXT (in this case .lst, which is in the registry setting) extension it throws the following error and cannot seem to find a solution to it. 
    OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from
    OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".
    In addition, (although I can probably find this elsewhere), I need to have the first line 'BLANK' so that it does not miss data (there is no header row).  Is there  a way to use OPENROWSET without BULK to basically include all rows as data?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I did a test with your script, and got the same message as your post. Usually, by default, the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) supports the four extensions file, such as *.asc, *.csv, *.tab, *.txt. To solve this issue,
    I recommend you try to save the LST file in the above format, then use OPENROESET to get data from the supported extensions file in SQL Server.
    In addition, the
    OPENROWSET function is mainly used to retrieve remote data from an OLEDB data source, when you use OPENROWSET without BULK, provider_name is a necessary parameter in the script. However, the OPENROWSET (BULK...) is mainly called from a SELECT…FROM clause
    within an INSERT statement, when importing bulk data from a data file into SQL Server table. Thus if you need to import bulk data, you should use the basic  syntax: INSERT ... SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK...), also there are some alternatives, such as
    BULK INSERT
    and
    BCP .
    Thanks

  • How to set default file extension in the FileChooser?

    We are trying to use the FileChooser but for some reason, it doesn't have any file extensions in the drop down menu (like in windows). Does anyone know how to put this in?
    Also, how do we set the file name for the saving file, rather than typing the name in ourself?
    Also, how do we position the file chooser dialog in the middle of the screen? Right now, it's in the top left corner of the screen.
    Here's our piece of code, used for saving file.
    FileChooser fileChooser = new FileChooser();
            File file = fileChooser.showSaveDialog(stage);
            /*User might clicked on the cancel button*/
            if (file != null) {
                try {
                    Writer output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
                    output.write(text);
                    output.close();
                } catch (IOException ex) {
                    logger.error("save file error", ex);
            }Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    This information initial value is (maybe) stored in Windows Register (register.exe) at Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Filetransfer -> PathDownload, you can read it thru class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES method GET_UPLOAD_DOWNLOAD_PATH and update it thru method REGISTRY_SET_VALUE. (Else there may be some parameter ID to force data, but I'm no longer sure)

  • What is the best file extension for import?

    When converting a DVD to another file extension for FCP, what is the best file extension to use? When I was using Adobe products, I would convert the DVD with Stream Clip to an AVI or MPEG and bring it right in. I found these do not work well in FCP. I know I can play it in and make a capture, I was just trying to find what file extension I should use to bring it right into the browser. I receive some DVD's that are quite long and would rather convert them to another extension instead of playing it in to capture.

    In MPEG Streamclip, use the export settings that match your FCP Sequence settings. Typically that would be QuickTime DV/DVCPro (NOT .DV Stream).
    Here's a 2 part tutorial on MPEG Streamclip by Nick Holmes:

  • 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?

  • Setting "Append file extension" in PSE9 Trial

    I downloaded the trial version, and when I open a RAW file and then go to save it, the .MRW (yes, I know that's old now!) stays in place and I have to type in the required extension,  even though I have set the option in the box below. Looking at the Preferences dialogue box, I tried to set this to 'Always', but note that it always defaults back to 'Never'. This is annoying, because I don't want to overwrite my RAW files. If anyone has upgraded to the full version yet, I would like to know if this is a feature of the trial which might be unlocked on upgrade.
    I have PSE6 & PSE8 still installed on my Mac. I much prefer to use Bridge from PSE8 rather than the frankly awful (and pointless) Organiser.

    Barbara,
      Thanks for the link, I've passed it off to the engineers to chew on.
    Michael,
      The specific file that carries the seed of this bug is "Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Prefs.psp" in Users/[User Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Settings. Trashing/renaming this file while PSE is closed will fix this particular bug. No other files need be removed. I plan on taking a closer look at this file to see what might be done.
    Byard,
      I am using the same version of the software that everybody else gets. Actually, I never got the beta to install on my Mac (Windows worked fine). I think there might have been a hiccup with the first attempt at the install, because I cleaned my machine of all traces of PSE9 before installing the final release version and that installed without issue. I suggest the same for anybody else that had their system touched by the beta. I don't know if that explains any of the issues you are seeing. Because I can change any preferences besides the Saving Files without issue.
      This same behavior does not happen on the Windows side, mainly because this is not an option on the Windows side. You ALWAYS save an extension with Windows, that's just how the OS works. Windows reads a lot of book covers, and by that I mean it puts a lot of stock into the extension. It determines how Windows will treat the file. For Mac, an extension isn't needed, it's really there to make you feel more comfortable and to be more compatible with Windows. Mac reads the file for information about what applications it belongs to. Windows see .JPG and it has one response to that when you double click on it (this is called file association). On Mac, depending on where that particular JPEG file came from and what you've been doing with it will determine how it will be treated in the future.

  • File name for downloaded PDF

    I have an application that provides files for download using obscured urls. I use the Content-Disposition header in the http response to set the proposed file name. This works fine if the user opts to save the file directly from the link without opening it (for example, in Internet Explorer, the user right-clicks the link and selects 'Save Target As...'). However, if the PDF is opened, and then the user selects 'File-Save As' from the menu (or clicks the Save icon), the proposed file name is not used. This does work in other applications, just not in Adobe Reader.
    So, the questions are:
    1 - is there a way to make this work as required - OR -
    2 - is this something that will be fixed in a future version

    Its been almost 3 years, has there been any update on this issue? We are experiencing the same issue. Our numerous customers are thinking about just using a different pdf reader that supports this standard. All workarounds we have encountered are hacks around the URL and are unacceptable for our customers.
    Please respond, we would hate for Adobe to lose all of the users that our customers have.
