Way to get Acrobat 5 file naming behavior out of Acrobat 9?

Hello,
I'm working in an XP shop with some legacy applications.  One of these applications prints out batches of files to the PDF Writer printer from Acrobat 5.0.  The files all come out with a similar filename pattern.  For example, if the input was "Filename" and there were 3 parts to the batch, the output would be FILEN001.PDF, FILEN002.PDF, FILEN003.PDF, and so forth.
We're moving to new hardware running Windows 7, and unfortunately we have to keep this legacy app around for a while.  The Acrobat 5 printer driver will not install on Windows 7.  I've downloaded the trial for Acrobat 9 Pro, but I can't seem to get the 9 printer driver to work the same way.
Anybody know a potential solution?
Thanks,
Alex Seigler

Unfortunately, we don't own the code behind this app.  Virtualization is being talked about.
From what I can tell, the silent option doesn't allow for auto-naming multiple files in a batch, it writes the first one and then either overwrites the first one silently or prompts the user to overwrite.  Are there more options available?  I'd be open to writing code that would set the file names properly and then passes the data to the PDF writer if need be.
Thanks,
Alex Seigler

    There is no supported method to "downgrade" iOS on any device.  If you update, you will get the latest iOS for your device, which will be iOS 6.1.3.  You cannot go backwards to iOS 4.3
    If you have never backed up in either iCloud or iTunes, then upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 will involve restoring your device as part of the upgrade.  Without a backup to restore from, you will loose everything that is on it.
    You should first connect to iTunes with your computer, sync your device without upgrading and create an up to date backup of everything.  Then use the upgrade option in iTunes to update your iOS.
    However, if the dock device strictly requires iOS 4.3, it will not work, as you cannot downgrade iOS.  There simply is no mechanism from Apple to do that.

  • Is there ANY WAY to get my files (mainly music) off of my ipod?

    My 3rd generation Ipod touch went into recovery mode, and it says I must restore it in order to use Itunes. The thing is, my laptop broke before I had a chance to back up any of the files. My question is, is there any possible way to get the files (mainly my music) off of it? thanks!
    The sooner the answers, the better!

    There are third-apps that allow to get to your iPod content but I doubt they will work if your device is in recovery mode.  This cannot being cover here as it is not considered legit to take music out of an iOS device.
    The question should rather be is there any possible way to get your files off your broken laptop.  If it wasn't related to its HD, you should be able to recover your files this way.

  • Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

    Hai all,
    I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)
    regards,
    Namanc

    Bro Take it easy.
    Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
    now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
    For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
    Now make ur server educated using some commands.
    For example:
    FileName: <File Name String>
    [Means new file is sending by connected client]
    FileSize: <File size long or int value>
    [ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
    DataModeOpen
    [Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
    fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
    l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
    2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
    DataModeClose
    [Means file sending finished]
    Close
    [Means your client connection is closed]
    Now develop a client supporting this command.
    For example(Server):
    String getFileName=null;
    long getFileSize=0;
    public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
        if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
                String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
                this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
                outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
                String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
                this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
                outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
               //data mode open so receive data
              receiveData();
              outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
              //close client socket
             getClientSocket.close();
    }For client:
    DataInputStream dataIn=null;
    BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
    public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
            //if ok found then do other or show error message
        if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
            if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
                if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
                   bout.write(getBytes);
                } else {
                   showError(3);
            } else {
                   showError(2);
       } else {
            showError(1);
    }i think it will help u

  • Is there any way to get .wav files to play on iOS devices?

    Is there any way to get .wav files to play on iOS devices? I know some apps can play .wav however I was looking to have safari load a suitable player as needed, but it shows a audio file with a line across it... and does not play the file. Any workaround? Thanks,
    Fabio

    Hi James,
    That is very helpful, thanks. However, that ends up presenting two other problems...
    Initially, the original .wav file has to be downloaded somewhere, how does one download a file from Safari to the phone and then open the file with the app? Is there any way to configure iOS to always use an app for a particular file type? How does iOS handle file types? Do you know why safari does not allow add-ons? Can I configure another app as the 'default' browser?
    Once again, thanks for pointing this out.
    Best wishes

  • How to get "ShareWithMe" files with "check out" status?

    Hello All,
    I was working on try to get "ShareWithMe" documents via SharePoint 2103 Query APIS with CSOM and REST service.
    Practically it works good using the "SharedWithUsersOWSUSER"
    manage property from this way: 
    https://domain-my.sharepoint.com/_api/search/query?querytext='*'&querytemplate='SharedWithUsersOWSUser:"someone"
    But, this search query is not working for files that has been set up to "check out",  I
    mean this scenary :
    e.g
    I upload a new file to my documents. 
                    Check out the file.
                    Share this file with someone.  
    I could verify that  "SharedWithUsersOWSUser" property has a empty value  for check out files that has been shared with someone, and this it will be the reason for what the query displayed above is not working in this case. 
    an extra test that I did it was : change the file shared from "check out" to "check in" and then the query it worked as expected.  
    Is there some way to get also these files(with "check out" status) ? I can see that it works very well on OneDrive for business - "ShareWithMe" page, I mean all files that it were shared with the current user are listed there, without to
    take into account if these files it were set up to check out or not. Please, some suggestion ?

    When the file is checked out and metadata is changed while it is checked out the search crawler will not pick up the change until it is checked in. When you make changes to a file while it is checked out they are considered temporary changes until they
    are checked in.

  • I want to sell my old macbook air, what is the best way to get my files and programs off of it?

    I am going to sell my macbook air (2011) as I am replacing it with a macbook pro retina. I want to remove my files and programs from it before I sell it. What is the best way to go about this?

    1) Perform a Time Machine or Cloned image backup of your system.
    2) Test the Clone tomake sure it works, by booting to it (using the option key).
    3) Boot to the Recovery Partition, then perform an erasure, followed by a reinstallation of the OS.
    4) Shut off the Mac, after instllation and before the reboot. This will permit the next user to experience a "fresh out of the box" experience.
    5) Use the Time Machine or Cloned image to migrate your apps, users & files to your new system, using SETUP ASSISTANT. Do not use Migration Assistant.

  • Best way to get small file size/best quality- starting from Logic?

    I am in the process of embedding 3 mp3's into a PDF to submit as a portfolio. The PDF also has text, and two scores included, and with the 3 embedded mp3's it can't be more than 10mb.
    So my question is: When bouncing a project out of Logic, what is the best method for getting the smallest file size, but retaining the best audio quality? And once it's out of Logic and it is an mp3 or other type of audio file, is there a best format for compressing it further, and still maintaining the relative quality?
    I bounced out the three projects into wav's. Now I am using Switch for Mac to compress them down to smaller Mp3's. I basically need them to be about 3 mb each. Two of the recordings sound OK at that size, but they are just MIDI(one project is piano and string quartet, the other is just piano- all software instruments. The recording that combines MIDI and Audio and has more tracks (three audio tracks and 10 Midi/software instrument tracks)and sounds completely horrible if I get it under 5 mb as an mp3. The problem is that I need all three to equal around 9mb, but still sound good enough to submit as a portfolio for consideration into a Master's program.
    If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Please be detailed in your response, because I am new to logic and I really need the step by step.
    Thank you...

  • How to get .class files (and others) out of JAR in code?

    Hi all,
    I am packaging up several classes in a jar file. In my code I want to be able to "read" any number of jar files, and in each case pull out all the .class files to create instances of them. I don't want to unzip/unjar the files to the disk system. I basically want to create instances of the classes in the jar files in memory as if they had been loaded off the disk by themselves. Here is the sticky issue. I have a class in each jar that is "instantiated" by my plugin engine. There are other classes in the JAR file that "support" this class that is created. For instance, the class that is instantiated then has references and calls to new SomeClase() in it, and those classes are in the JAR file. So, is there some way to either "pull out" the class(es) of a JAR file without actually unjarring them to the local system and be able to create instances of them? Or, perhaps there is a way to make the classpath of the running app "see into" all the JAR files (and any sub-dirs/packages in that jar file) as if it was part of its class path? Again, these are always loaded via the Class.forName() call and newInstance(), and can not be programitcally added to the initial running application.
    Thanks.

    Not sure if this is what you are asking, but...
    You have jars that reference each other (sounds pretty tightly coupled to me, maybe they shouldn't be in separate jars, but I digress) and each has a manifest file in META-INF, right?
    To reference another jar's contents, simply add it to the Class-Path variable in your manifest. Then you can reference the classes as if they were all unjarred and slapped in the same directories.

  • Is there any way to get my files back without using Time machine?

    I used CCleaner without knowing it. It erased my download folder totally. I don't have any time machine.
    any suggesion?
    Sonny

    Sonny operating any computer without a backup plan is just not wise and you are now probably going to pay a minor price. What would happen if you lost all of  your photographs, music and personal records? PLEASE begin a backup plan immediately, there is absolutely no excuse not to. I would recommend first starting out by buying an external HD and using Time Machine and then get a second external HD to create another backup using cloning software such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both less than $30). For less than $200 you can have a viable and safe backup plan. The reason it's wise to have redundant backups is because a backup can fail too, I've had it happen, thank heavens I had 2 backups which saved the day.

  • Is there a way to get text to duplicate through out a document?

    That's what Section Master Objects are for, but not in the Body/Text Layer; they will be Floating Objects, and in your case, the object will be a Text Box.
