Question

JPEG converted to PDF has a weird temp name

Hello dear Adobe community,

 

I work in IT for a company where I have to "support" one thing or another for Adobe users, in this case for Acrobat Pro.

The usecase I have a problem with goes as follows:

-convert a .jpeg into a .pdf with Adobe

-set printer settings under "Advanced" > "Marks and Bleed" > check the checkbox "Page Information"

   ->reason being that the user needs the title, e.g. "IMG_001", of the picture on the actual pdf for a customer

-print the file as PDF

-select the location to save

(now comes the problem)

-the file name to save is NOT the original name the .jpeg file had, althouh it was named like that in Acrobat, but is now some gibberish like "asdase765adasdhg.pdf" (or it ended with ".tmp").

This leads to the fact that the gibberish name will now be the "Page Information" mentioned earlier instead of "IMG_001".

 

I could confirm that suspicion when opening the file properties of the converted .jpeg to .pdf where the same gibberish temp name was shown.

Adding to that, that file was located somewhere under the AppDate directory.

 

This wouln't be a problem if our useres would have to do this twice a month or so, but they have literally a hundred pictures to edit one by one.

 

We have a workaround for now, but is there a way to have Acrobat still take the name of the converted .jpeg instead of the gibberish temp name?

 

I can provide more detailed screenshots of the mentioned steps and problems I have ran into if needed.

 

Thanks!

I just tried it and the original file name was used. How exactly are you converting the image file to a PDF in Acrobat?

What command are you using?

Hey try67,

 

thanks for replying.

I've right clicked the .jpeg file and used the following option from the context menu:

Did you convert it with a different command / method?

Yes. I dragged and dropped the file into Acrobat's window.


I've just recreated it again with dripping the .jpeg into Acrobat - it still prints the temp name.

See also the following screenshot:

The file name is again random "A9wqlm1i_jkussp_j6s.pdf".

See also the save lovation (2nd red box; sorry it's in german): "C:\'Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp".

I mean that makes sense for a temporary opened .jped thats converted to .pdf.

 

We just want to prevent to save the converted .pdf file, opening the new .pdf file and then printing it.
