Uncheck "Create PDF Compatible File" and "Use Compression" as my default save preference?

We have discovered that unchecking the "Create PDF compatible file" generates much smaller .ai files when saved. Since we do not need them to be PDF compatible we want to save them this way every time. But right now every time we go to save a file the box comes up pre-checked! We have to uncheck it every time! Surely there is a preference setting somewhere that we can change so that the default is for these boxes to come up unchecked?
I have looked under preferences and do not see it.
Thanks

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
Usually those settings could be changed by modifying the AIPrefs file.

"create pdf compatible file" gets tuned off when running batch

I created an action that resizes an image and the saves it in the same format (AI) and then close the file. Next I open the AI formatted file I just created in PhotoShop it opens and looks great. So I go back to Illustrator and run the same action in a batch where I open a folder containing AI files run the action and save the files in a different folder. Now I try to open the files in PhotoShop and find out that the batch function some how turned off create pdf compatible file option when it got to save as in the action so now Im unable to open the file in PhotoShop. Im new to illustrator Im using cs4. Thank you for reading do you have any ideas?

Thanks to all, I really appreciate all the pains which all of you have taken in resolving my problem.
It wasn't Java problem, rather batch file problem. I was only changing the directory, and was not providing for the exe file to run.
@echo off
cd "C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin\Fastran"
"C:\JBoss\jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin\Fastran\FASTRAN.EXE"
ren FTN04 FTN04i
EXIT
:finishNow it is working fine.
I did check the access permissions, no problem with that I guess. The problem was with the path. The batch file couldnt go pass bin directory, and I noticed that only today ;(. At any rate, I changed that and now it is all smooth and dandy.
Once again, thanks a lot.

Turn off "Create PDF Compatible File"?

Is there a way to turn off the "Create PDF Compatible File" option by default in Illustrator CS4?
Thanks.

Though you can mess with the preferences this way and it may work for you there is always a possibility of offering a corruption or the invitation to a corruption that has not been tested for this way.So you should keep a clean copy of the AI preferences in case you have a problem doing something with ai that was not the normal behavior and so you can swop it out with the new preferences. You can that way discover if the new settings causes this situation and then figure out if you need it that badly. Especially if it happens repeatably.
But this is s good feature request to be able to set the defaults of all tools all panels all menu items etc. One that will not be trashed when resetting the the defaults as they can be reloaded and rewritten fresh as if they where the factory load.
I think it is time for the uer to have more say about ho they use any of the Adobe applications.

Create PDF Compatible File Revisited AGAIN for PC

Hi all,
I know my way around a Mac, but I would like to help a PC buddy of mine out, too to achieve the same thing—that is, changing the code in the Illustrator preferences file so that every time you save you don't automatically save a PDF compatible file.
Can anyone help me find my way through the directories for the Preferences file on a PC?
Thanks
Re: Create PDF Compatible File Revisited
Sorry, I was thinking of the New Document Profiles. Try Users>(yourname)>Library>Preferences>Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings.

Save AI files with Create PDF Compatible file turned on

I have a bulk of AI files that were saved without PDF compatibility turned on and they don't preview properly in my DAM system. I've tried creating a Save As action but it doesn't work. Does anyone know of a script that will do a Save As with PDF compatibility checked on and overwrite the existing file?

jscottCMD wrote: script that will do a Save As with PDF compatibility checked on and overwrite the existing file?
What you want is "pdfCompatible":
Javascript Scripting Reference PDF (around pages 80 to 85 depending on the version #)
IllustratorSaveOptions
IllustratorSaveOptions properties
pdfCompatible boolean If true, the file is saved as a PDF compatible file. Default: true
You can find various scripts to do what you want around the forum, here are a few examples:

Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
***Update***
I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
I'm truly puzzled.

I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
"Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT

Adobe v9 on W7 and office 2007. cannot create PDF from MS word using Adobe. But can from Excel, PPT and other MS office apps. Reinslalled Adobe, updated Office, and Adobe no help! Also I can create a pdf from the MS Word and it is using the Adobe 9. So one would think that's good. No it isn't when you need to combine different files to one big PDF document. Any suggetions? Thank you

Yes, I’m saying that I can in WORD use “Save As ADOBE pdf” but cannot in ADOBE create a pdf file from a WORD (.doc or .docx) document. While I can from other MS Office apps like Excel and PowerPoint.
I understand I can use “work around” and save doc in WORD as pdf then compile all files needed (xml, ppt, pdf) in the ADOBE v9. to one big pdf document. But that is not the point of this post.

What programme creates a .ggi file and why would it be used?

Have been asked to create a .ggi file and I have never come across this file extension before.
I have googles it and got as much information as possible but can't seem to find the answer - why would it be used, what is it used for and what software creates it.
Also, not sure where to ask this question so apologies if this is in the wrong forum!
Any help greatly appreciated!!!!

We can't know. File extensions are completely arbitrary and if whoever requested the format can't tell you what he/ she needs, then we can't either. If it were a commonly used file format we would probably not, but since we don't, it is probably a proprietary format associated with some lesser known or even exotic software. That being so, the request to provide such a file is actually even pretty stupid, since the only way to create it would be to have access to that program. Causal loop.

When trying to move file and use command and drag, it doesn't move the file just creates a short cut.

Using command creates a copy.
If you want to just move a file, click on it, hold it and drag it to the new location.

Creating an XLS file and Zip it

Hi All,
we have a requirement where in we have to create an XLS file from internal table. This xls file then has to be zipped and mailed.
If anyone knows how to create an xls file and zip it in WebDynpro, without using OPEN, CLOSE DATA SET etc, Please let us know. It will be of great help.
Thanks,

>2) Convert the STRING format to XSTRING format by using the FM SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING.
Actually you should use CL_BCS_CONVERT=>STRING_TO_XSTRING now.
>3) Use the method COMPRESS_BINARY of class CL_ABAP_GZIP to compress the XSTRING file.
You probably want to use CL_ABAP_ZIP instead of CL_ABAP_GZIP. CL_ABAP_GZIP only does compression, which is fine for storing a single packet of data in the database. However CL_ABAP_ZIP is better suited for mult-part zip (multiple inner files).
>4) Use the method SEND_WEB_MAIL of class CL_HRRCF_SERVICES_MAIL to mail across the zipped contents.
This seems to be an HR specific class. Better to use the cross application, NetWeaver provided functionality for sending mail - CL_BCS.

Creating PDF from File, missing Settings

Acrobat Professional. 6.0.
I never used Acrobats "Create PDF from file", as in my MS Office 2000 there was "Acrobat - Convert to Adobe PDF" menu item with the possibility to change joboptions settings.
My current MS Office 2007 now has its own PDF convertor only, so I tried the Acrobats feature "Create PDF from file". It works, but the Settings button is grayed out with all Office file types. I didnt find a way how to access Acrobats settings, so I tried by first opening Distiller and changing the options there. Nothing happened, the output from Acrobat has always the same file size and quality. Of course I could make PDF out from Office by printing to Adobe PDF printer, but how with other file types which are not Office types.
Thanks for suggestions, i.e. for showing me what I eventually didnt consider.

As I and Bernd tried to say. AA6 does not support OFFICE 2007. The fact that you have PDF Maker from AA6 working in WORD 2007 is surprising. Since it is not a normal or supported operation, we have no idea what to tell you. It should not even be working. You are the first one I have ever heard say that they have the AA6 PDF Maker (create PDF is the way it shows up) working in OFFICE 2007!
Thus, I may misunderstand. But I am trying to tell you that none of us have experience with the configuration. Adobe will also tell you to simply upgrade. Unfortunately, that leaves you on your own to experiment. If you have questions along the way based on your observations, we would be glad to try to help, but don't expect too much.

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.
