When converting certain Excel documents a user interaction is required to save the document.
I am using a WebService to open an excel document and save it as PDF. The webService will then return the PDF to my software. The problem being that some Excel documents have formulas in them that automatically change the document when it is
opened. When my webservice closes the workbook, a prompt is displayed requiring a user to click save in order for the Excel service to stop and my webService to gather the PDF and return it to my software. During my testing I never get this
prompt, even if I use one of the "affected" PDF's. When I run this live we ALWAYS get this prompt. What am I doing wrong?
I have installed the registry key that is supposed to get rid of the save dialog boxes, didn't help.
I have changed the save settings in MS Excel, didn't help.
I have changed the DCOM settings for the Excel application to different users and interactive user, didn't help.
I have edited the application pool identity to see if that was the reason, didn't help.
I have been all over this to no avail. Do any of you have any ideas I didn't think of? Thank you.
What does the registry key you installed ?
If you want to get rid of the save dialog box, you can try to use the VBA code.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Me.Close savechanges:=True "close and save changes, don't ask".
Me.Close savechanges:=False "close and don't save changes, don't ask".
End Sub

"Last modified" attribute changes when opening a Excel-document
Hi
We are running Server 2008 R2 as terminal servers and fileserver.
When opening an Excel document stored on the fileserver so changes "date modified" at the opening regardless if you save the document or not. This is a problem for users who want to keep track of when the document has been changed "for real".
Now, "last modified" changes when the document was last read instead, this confuse the users...
If we test the same procedure on our older terminal server environment, Server 2003 or on our clients (Windows 7) it works how we wanted. The "last modified" only changes when you save the document, and not when you are opening it. Office
2007 is installed on both our new terminal server environment (Server 2008 R2) and the old one (Server 2003).
Can someone explain to me why it behaves like this? And if anyone got a solution? It's only occur on Excel-documents and not the others Office documents...
Thanks in advanceHi tomburken,
It seems that this is not a server issue .
This issue may due to the " automatically save " executed by some office scripts .
To get the accurate assistance please post this issue to Microsoft office forum :

Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document wiht linked Visio file.
Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document with linked Visio file and causes a C++ runtime error in Word and crashes Word.
To see the behavior create a short Word 2007 document with a linked Visio file (e.g., create a Visio file with one box and text and insert it as a link into a Word docx).
No problem in Acrobat 9There may be some of an issue with AA X on this, but part of the blame probably goes to MS also. I would suggest you simply clip the graphic from VISIO as a vector graphic (EMF will be used by default) and not do the link and do not embed the VISIO object. The linking and use of embedded objects in WORD 2007 seems to have been a major problem and is mostly a MS issue.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?
It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file. -
Hi there, I currently subscribe to Adobe Pro Subscription (yearly) and I also subscribe to Adobe PDF pack (monthly). I only require Adobe to read and create PDF documents such as converting word/excel document or a web based document. Can someone tell me if I'm doubling up as I'm not sure of the differences between the products and would like to save a few dollars.
Acrobat Pro can do a lot more than the PDF Pack online service.
Try if you can do everything you need with PDF Pack; otherwise keep Acrobat Pro. -

The most likely cause of this issue is that the PDF wasn't tagged properly to indicate the table cells, so Excel has no idea where to place the content in the converted file. Do you know how that PDF was created, and in what application?
You may have better luck saving directly to Excel from within Acrobat. You're welcome to try Acrobat for 30 days to see if it suits your needs. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

how do I change system settings so that users are not required to enter the mac's admin pw in order to join a wifi network?
Right now my macbook pro requires an admin password before connecting to a new wifi network. In other words when a user that is not an admin tries to connect to a new wifi network the pop up displays indicating that it is locked and an admin password is required.
Is there a way to remove this restriction so that a non admin can connect to wifi without the mac's admin password.You can enable / disable this option in System Preferences:
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab > Require administrator authorization to: Change networks -
I recently upgraded my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Now when I create a song in Garage Band 2008, I cannot save the volume adjustment when I share back to iTunes, which is now version 11.1.1, and ultimately upload to YouTube. The volume reverts back to a default? low level. How can I retain the volume I assign in Garage Band, so that when the song moves to iTunes it doesn't revert?

I can't get my password manager working. It remembers passwords for websites but when I enter in a new password (because this had to be changed) or when I have a new username + PW that I wish to save, the password manager does not appear.
If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
If you created a new account then you can log out of the old account and in with the new one as above, but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can re-download its content and download updates to its apps. -
When I zoom in on photo using iPhoto, how can I save the zoomed in photo please? I would like a screen shot of my zoomed in photo - is this possible?. Cropping doesn't give the same effect as zooming in and magnifying the photo. Any help would be appreciated thank you. I have an iMac
To take a screenshot of the zoomed photo, press either the key combination
⇧⌘3 for a screenshot of the full screen, or
⇧⌘4 to bring up a selection rectangle: select the section of the screen, that you want to save.

I use to administrate my DSL modem via an ip-address. When I enter it into FF8 I am asked where to save the file. Why and how can I prevent FF8 from doing that?
And now anytime I am entering an ip-address I am asked if I want to download the file.It happens when the modem server doesn't send the file as text/html, but with another MIME type.<br />
I tried the index.html addition in case the server might send that file as text/html.<br />
If your DSL modem has a support website then you can try to ask there for advice about how to configure the modem server.
