"Save to Adobe PDF" app
just upgraded imac @ work mac os x 10.6 snow leopard.... finally!!!!
but still running cs4 acrobat 9 (v9.5.2)
i edit master files using ms word saved on local server.
i distribute files pdfs saved server.
when updating files under mac os x 10.5 leopard, printing pdf printer driver, had fast simple work flow:
cick print (adobe pdf printer default),
navigate desired folder,
click on file replace ,
click replace.
but under snow leopard, workflow messed up:
click print
click continue in save adobe pdf popup menu
navigate desired folder
this mess starts.
if file new, not update, , want save it, "microsoft word - " prepended file name, , there dual extension: ".docx.pdf" **always** have edit it.
if file being saved update, when click on file update, file name no longer has extension, not hidden one, nothing @ all. ok far macs concerned, file still shows pdf file in info. windows pcs (where these files used) no longer have clue file type. **always** have type ".pdf" after file name.
can click save or replace
and, if reason, click "cancel", save adobe pdf **always** says "an error occurred while saving pdf".
so... in day , age, why isn't smarter???? why app making me work more????
1) there way bypass annoying unwanted pdf settings/pdf creation popup menu don't **always** have click continue??? why isn't there preferences / options menu item can pull when needed???? why interrupt workflow????
2) default file name "microsoft word - " prepended adobe action or ms word action???? complain this??? possible ms word abberation, test prints in ms excel , mozilla firefox don't show problem.
3) why have keep screwing around extensions???? can't intelligent programming make simple , automatic user??????????????
4) in normal course of pressing offered buttons such cancel, should never see error pop up.
now, when home today, i'm running mac os x 10.7 lion cs5, i'll have see if smarter.
