Rename PDF file without extension

Until a few days ago, I was able to rename pdf files without having to type the .pdf extension after the new name. None of the files showed the extension .pdf on the desktop. Suddenly, I have to add the ".pdf" when I rename a file and all files now display the extension.   What has changed? And how to change this back?

Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer - WINDOWS Explorer)Windows: Tools > Folder Options > view -check "Hide extensions of known file types". Click on apply, click OK.

Mac Finder: Finder > Preferences > Advanced - uncheck "show all file extensions."

  • files without extensions - executable file unix

    We have difficulties to view some files on our server with a Macbook Pro, we just bought El Capitan running. Files with missing extensions show as the Unix executables and slashes in the name show as if they have been renamed. This only happens on this particular laptop. We have other MacBook Pro and iMac running El Capitan and previous OS which do not have this problem. Anyone have any idea why this would be be happing in just this one computer and is there a solution?

    Not sure if it helps, I have a folder on the server that contained files without extensions with another computer and copied to the Macbook Pro, which is to have these zipped questions and files display properly.

    This protocol you are using to connect to the file share on the server?

  • How to associate a default program for files without extension?

    I work with files of Linux a lot on my Windows 7, and it does not give me an option to associate a program with files without extensions. For example, I'm going to open a file called "config" and Windows prompts me to choose a program to open it with, but "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is greyed out. Since I use a third-party editor (Notepad ++) which analyzes correctly Linux line breaks, I want files with extensions not always open with this program. Is it still possible?

  • Acrobat Reader DC works fine and opens a PDF file without problem - until I have a word document open as well-, then the PDF file crashes. I can't open a PDF file, a word document is also open.

    Acrobat Reader DC works fine and opens a PDF file without problem - until I have a word document open as well-, then the PDF file crashes. I can't open a PDF file, a word document is also open.

    For troubleshooting, you can disable the Protected Mode (https://helpx.adobe.com/reader/using/protected-mode-windows.html#id_94783) and see if that solves the problem. If the problem persists, please re-enable the Protected Mode to improve safety.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Just installed CD player. Now I can't print pdf files without disabling Protected Mode.  Anyway to adjust/difficulty so I can print protected-mode?

    Protected mode can be "a very important part of their security features", but what's the point if the product does not work?

    If has been like that since the introduction of Safe_mode in drive X.  Reader, crashes, hangs, cale, cannot print and various other symptoms.

    I recommended to disable Safe_mode for a very long time, and even Adobe support staff do often the same here in the forum.

    There is absolutely no advantage whatsoever to keep protected Mode enabled.  (Although I personally have never had no problems [with protected Mode on] on any of my Windows systems.)

    How to decrease the size of the PDF file without reducing the quality and links?

    Michael and Phil,

    Your ability to reduce the file without diminishing its quality depends on the quality required for their intended use. If these are intended for viewing on screen, then high resolution pictures can be re sampled or changing the resolution without real change is the quality, as long as the user can say. Number of files use subsets of fonts or the incorporations of fonts. Sometimes you can remove subsets of fonts or embedding the fonts if the font will be on the user's system. Subsets of fonts can save space, but if the pdf is a result of several different sources, desincorporation policies and incorporating a copy of the policy can save space.

    Honestly, the size of 2 MB file is not the problem it once was. However, maybe the pdf not by e-mail at all. There are players on a server as well as a link sent to each user.

  • My client request... can generate us a PDF file without going through Word...?

    Use: HTML HR 7.0.3.

    Hi all

    A customer has invested time in creating a good CSS stylesheet and the model of RoboHelp to create a nice looking CHM HTML Help. My client wants to find a way of creating a document PDF looking nice without having to invest more time in the development of a model of good word for export to PDF.

    The client asked me what seems to be a stupid question on PDF generation. Is there such a thing as the generation of a PDF file without using Word? -(Whatever that means). My client seems to think that there is a way. But as my client has requested, I invite you all...

    I tried the fast way of simply by clicking on the PDF icon and see what happens. So HR generated a PDF, for me without asking me for more info. The recorder output clearly showed that HR was first to create a * Word file *. And of course when I looked into its target folder, I saw there was also a * Word doc *, finished one minute earlier. A sure sign, I think, that first created the Word doc and then to HR created the PDF file. (Btw, I don't know where HR got the table of contents of this generation of PDF - looks like a ghost of OCD I used months ago.)

    Then I tried using the wizard to generate the carrycot single Source Layouts. One of the steps in this wizard invites you to select a template, including any * model Word * you fed HR in the past. Once again a good sign, IMO, than the initial process to make a PDF file is the same as for make a Word doc.

    On you all.
    TIA
    Avraham

    HR is creating a Word document, but if you turn off the word box, it is not saved. What you saw, it was probably an old document. Delete it and publish just a PDF file and you shouldn't be able to see the Word temporary document that is created.

    In the wizard, you don't have to select a Word template, it's just one of the options.

    The content of the page is not related to your table of contents. It takes the contents of a table of contents when you first create the print layout, but then the two are autonomous. You can't layout seems to be identical to the table of contents. If you do, use arrows to erase, and then replace it with the current TOC.

    It's covered in printed materials and on my site.

  • How to view pdf files without having to download on firefox for android

    I use a program of electronic medical records using Firefox for android on a Tablet Samsung Galaxy Pro 12.2. I need to view the pdf files of patients on the tablet. So far, the only way I've been able to do this is to download the file first. It would be more effective if I could just view the PDF on the Galaxy Tablet without having to download it. Is it possible to do this with Firefox for android? Thank you.

    Adobe has never made a PDF for Android plugin. Which is what is needed to achieve the desired behavior. I have already cited the only option that comes closest.

    The files are downloaded. Using a plugin browser does not prevent the data being stored locally on your computer.

  • Add files without extension to index

    How can I add a file type to the search index for the files that have actually no extension? For example, how a filter of plain text for files named README?

    UNIX Gets information about the file type in the file itself, something that Windows is barely able with some improvements in NTFS, but is very rarely used.  True, Windows isn't Unix and there is no way to index a file without an extension.

    Hello.

    This isn't a question of InDesign: you ask Acrobat to display 'boxes', so he does.

    In Acrobat, go to Preferences: display: Show ArtBox, TrimBox, etc. (uncheck the box).

    Or, open the output preview window, you will find the same box in the preferences (I suppose that you activate it from there).

    But keep in mind that in any case the red line does not exist and cannot be printed, it is simply a programme of assistance.

  • With the changes made in the Adobe Acrobat DC he has made things more difficult for me. All I want to do is to rename a file. Used to be simple. Please tell me how to rename a file without using the cloud. I'm not paying for storage when I have an SD card

    Hate the new update.  I need to rename files and cannot do without using the cloud.  Could not sign in the cloud free services.  Someone knows how to rename the files with Adobe Acrobat DC? I use a HD with Android corner.

    Do you have any file manager installed on your device? This feature is no longer available in the latest version of Acrobat DC but we actively seek to provide the same in one of our future releases. To work around the problem, you will need to duplicate/rename the files using a third-party file manager application.
