Allways get [1] when file saved
Weh I go to save a pdf file it allways afixes (is that a word?) the [1] to
the file name. Is this a problem with the Adbee Reader or with the XP setup. Not sure if this was the best newsgroup to use but if not please advise a better one. I am now getting fed up with getting rid of the [1] when I wish to save the file Happy Christmas to everyone. |

Sometimes a suffix will be added if the file name you are using already
exists in the location where you want to save the file. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est On 12/22/2009 10:58 AM, wrote: Weh I go to save a pdf file it allways afixes (is that a word?) the [1] to the file name.

It happens because Adobe Reader is using Web cache protocols for naming files (look
in the Temp Internet Files folder and you will see many [1]s, [2]s and [3]s) I suspect it does this because of it's capability as a web-browser plug-in. This is not the same as when a file of the same name is already present, Win's answer to this is to append ~1 and subsequent consecutive numbers thereon. The answer might be to use the "File" "Save As..." option from the file menus rather than the "Save" button. In this way you could edit the name before saving. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) wrote in message o.uk...

Slight error on my part (someone is bound to point out).
Appending files with ~1(and so on) is DOS filename naming convention, where two 8.3 "style" names conflict - which is not exactly the same thing. Windows, however, will by default ALWAYS ask you - informing you that "a file of the same name exists" and "do you want to overwrite?" The only time I know of when it doesn't is when you copy and paste a file into the same directory, in which case you get : Copy of Filename.ext Copy (2) of Filename.ext Copy (3) of Filename.ext.....etc, No other application running under Windows saves files and duplicates as [1] [2] [3] etc, apart from your Adobe Reader (when saving .pdf files) and Internet Explorer (when saving files and attachments). == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) |

This [1] gets appended and yet there is no other file there with the same
name; it can be unique but still gets added. Surely this is not right. |

It may be, though it does not appear to be an XP problem.

You may do better asking the OP your questions instead of me.
