Adobe's Common Extensibility Platform CEP create pulldown with InDesign Attributes

Hi all
I am working on a plugin that follows the new CEP way of doing things.
How do I create a pulldown that reflects the InDesign Attributes?
I am sure this is a standard functionality that many Extension/Plugins will need.
It is easy enough to create the index.html with a field that will display the values. (Then again: Adobe CEP: array as a datalist for an input field doesn’t work.)
The jsApp.js would need to handle the traffic between the display field and the jsxApp.jsx. (Would we need to check the validity of the field?)
A simple example would be to "choose" between the colors in the swatches. (This would not need a validity check as we only flick between the existing values in the swatches).
Anyway just the mechanics between the HTML5 panel to the jsxApp.jsx are tricky enough. Anybody has a working template for such a task?
Thank you for your help
Regards
Romano

Hi Romano,
I've several paid Extensions for Photoshop published on Adobe Add-ons (like ALCE, Vitamin BW, Double USM, PS Projects) and few free ones.
Things are more or less as you depict them - it's a matter of having an account on both Add-ons and Fastspring (if you want to get paid) and submit your product. I'd say that the code signing certificate isn't as expensive as you wrote. I got mine from Komodo for I guess $100 few years ago, but didn't renew it. I'm using a free, self signed certificate now and so far none of my customers has really complained about it.
(by the way, if you stick to Adobe Add-ons and its peculiar way to deploy products - via the CC app - there's no any difference between self signed and paid certificates; only when you install via Adobe Extension Manager, it would pop up an alert that the user has to dismiss).
I usually upload an hybrid ZXP (HTML Panels Tips: #10 Packaging / ZXP Installers | Photoshop, etc.) but there are other simpler way to pack stuff, it takes two or three days for the approval and it's published.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 & Adobe Premiere Elements 8 suitable for creating movies with sound?

Hi
Here is what I want to do:
        make a movie of me teaching a class and put in online
        (for an online course is one use);
        be able to edit video;
        add photos in;
        create podcasts and export say to mp3 and other types,
            automatically generating RSS feeds;
        be able to add the sound track to any video;
I think that Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 & Adobe Premiere Elements 8 will do the job but I am
asking on this forum if it will do all the above?
Also, how would this software sync the sound created by me talking about what I currently have on the blackboard with the video?
Thanks,
bubbly250

Since this is really about Premiere Elements, I'd crosspost this in their forum, too, bubbly250, since there are more people working with video there than here:

Adobe AIR Native Extensions

We are planning to choose a new platform of our new convergent media device. Like to know whether we can develop our platform using Adobe AIR Native Extension for Linux OS?
I came to know that Adobe has subscription based suuport for developers. If that is the case we can purchase support for development assistance on Linux based AIR Native Extensions. What we need are the FRE libraries and C code to run the Native extensions on Linux. I had acces to AIR 3.0 for Linux sometime back. Unfortunately our project look some time to mature.
Please let us know about this so that we can base our plans on AIR/Linux native extensions.

The API reference for the Communication Toolkit is shipped with Extension Builder - you can view the docs by selecting "Help > Help Contents" from the menu bar, then selecting "Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder > References > CS Communication Toolkit API Reference".
There are also some sample extensions that show you how to use the CS Communication Toolkit (codenamed Vulcan). You can import these by selecting "File > Import ... > Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder > Remote Creative Suite SDK Examples". The most relevant sample is probably "Vulcan - ApplicationControl" which shows how to see the installed/running applications, and how to launch an application.
I personally would recommend using the CS Communication Toolkit from AS3 rather than trying to use BridgeTalk. I've had issues using BridgeTalk from an extension in the past.
Hope that helps,

Issue with Adobe PDF Ifilter Extension version 11

Dear Friends
Come across few issues while determining correct version of Adobe PDF Ifilter Extension
In my local laptop I installed Ifilter extension 9.0 but unfortunately this version is no longer available for further download.
Latest version is 11.0 and I downloaded from below link.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
Just for verification, I uninstalled old version(9.0) and installed the above version(11.0) but going forth PDF indexing stopped working.
I have a requirement of PDF file content search and using Lucene.Net for this purpose. Lucene indexer that I have written is reading PDF content using PDF filter extension.
I noticed above code stopped working for any site hosted on IIS. However console,desktop and IIS express applications are working fine.
For further verification, I installed the same component in another laptop also but ended with same experience.
Please provide some input.
Regards Paul

Hi Bibhas,
Please configure iFilter as mentioned in the doc: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/Acrobat_Reader_IFilter_config uration.pdf

Can use adobe livecycle reader extensions es to compile adobe livecycle designer ES3 file?

Hi ,
I am using livecycle designer ES and livecycle reader extensions es to create some PDF files. I want to use the new feature action builder, so I downloaded the designer ES3. After creating some new files, I tried to use livecycle reader extensions es (old version) to convert the file to add the saving function to adobe reader. It could not convert the file successfully and stuck at downloading the file page as the attached screen. Does that mean I have to upgrade livecycle reader extensions es to es3? Thanks in advance.

There were problems like this that were caused by a flashplayer security patch. See https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/livecycle/ZRj27vcLXOI
My memory is a bit hazy on this, as it was three years ago.
There was a LiveCycle blog on this November 11, 2008
http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2008/11/livecycle_and_flash_player_10.html
Flash Player 10 broke the Reader Extensions sample application included with LiveCycle ES 8.0.1, and 8.2.1. When you use it, it will essentially hang. The workaround is to revert back to Flash Player 9 on those machines you use as LiveCycle clients.
This problem has been fixed in LC 8.2.1 SP3 as well as in ES2.
The key is to either upgrade your server or downgrade to an earlier (9) version of the flash player. (copying from the google group)
As you said, this issue is due to the changes in security in flash
player 10. The Reader Extensions webUI leverages flex. For LiveCycle
8.2.1, the file dialog automatically pops up after conversion is
complete. However, in flash player 10, there were changes to how file
reference are is handled. Since it is possible to pop up a file
dialog based on user action), and automatically poping up that file
dialog based on the old code base will no longer work. This is a
known issue in LC ES 8.2.1, and downgrading to flash player 9 works.
However, in fix pack 2 of LiveCycle ES Update 1. (8.2.1.2), this bug
on flash player 10 has been resolved with an explicit button to
download the file.

Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions issue

Hi all,
I have an issue about ARES. When I create a PDF file and use password to secure the document and “Changes Allowed” is set as “Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing existing signature fields”, the commenting doesn’t work and display the error as below:
Warning: JavaScript Window-
This document is not enabled for review in Adobe Reader. You must use Adobe Acrobat to review this document.
Other documents which is not set password security can be commented normally. Please give me some advices.
Any idea will be appreciated!
Regards,
Ryan

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply! I have something unclearly. What is the “Apply Usage Rights” step do you mean? If it looks like the attachment shows, I think I can comment on the PDF file. However, after doing this, the PDF doc settings cannot be modified by Acrobat again.
If not, could you please tell me what is “Apply Usage Rights” step?
Actually, the issue occurred when I use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions and EMC Documentum PDF Annotation Services together. Everything works fine exception password security settings. If I don’t use password settings, all commenting functionalities are work fine.
Regards,
Ryan

Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES Version 8 - res problem

We have been using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES Version 8 to create forms that are used internally within the business, but also externally for customers to complete and email back to us.
We haven't created new forms for a while, but now when we log into the LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server User Interface and try to res a form, it just times out.
It gets to the process status, and then just stalls and says that it's downloading, but nothing actually happens. Any ideas on a fix?

Installation of Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2

Hi,
Adobe has informed us that we need to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2 in stead of Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. We had some doubts about the reason why, but that's a different issue.
Now, when we want to order Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2 we need to indicate on what application server we will install (IBM WebSphere / Oracle WebLogic / JBoss). However, I want to install it on a desktop pc. Can anybody explain me which of the 3 options I need to order? What is the difference?
Thanks in advance!

I am a contractor working with a national agency. I don't have rights to set up any sort of server on my PC at work, which runs Windows XP Professional -- NOT Windows Server as Adobe's tech specs indicate. At home, I use Windows 7 Professional.
Most of the PDF forms I set up only require users to type text in text fields, click check boxes, or decide "yes" or "no" in radio buttons. For those simple forms, have found that Acrobat Pro's "Enable Reader Features" allows users to fill out the form in Reader, save it to their hard drive, and attach it to an email to return the completed forms.
I know that this WON'T work if we include any data functions or buttons which run JavaScripts. For example, one of my users wants a button that allows them to attach a file to the PDF. That button won't work in Reader unless I use LiveCycleReader Extensions to enable full functionality in Reader. Correct me if I have any of this wrong, so far. I am considering equipping one of my computers at home with LiveCycleReader Extensions to create these forms -- if they can be used independently of the server I have to set up on my home PC.
Would any forms created in LiveCycle Reader Extensions have to be returned to the server I would need to set up on my PC, or could users complete the froms, save them, and attach them to email as they do with the simple forms created in Acrobat?
You mentioned that Reader Extensions includes JBoss to set up a local server. Could I even install LiveCycle Reader Extensions on my PC if it only has Windows 7 Professional? Would it work on Windows 7 Professional?
(I already asked about setting up a server for these forms at work and was told "It'll never happen!" My customers are reluctant to accept an answer that , "Yes, it is possible to enable these features but we are not allowed to do what it takes to make them work."

I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and just created a pdf form from a MS Word document. I need to find out how to have a date field in my form which will update automatically. Can some one out there help me?

Adobe Creative Suite Extension builder 2 not supported in Flash Builder 4.7 64 bit

Couldn't find anywhere to submit a bug report so hopefully this is a good place.
I was able to succesfully download and install the Adobe Creative Suite Extension builder 2 into Flash Builder 4.7 with not problems.
When I click File -> New -> Creative Suite Exention Project nothing happends. I recieve no error messages just the Project wizard panel that is expected to open doesn't open.
The extension works as expected when installed into the non-beta Flash Builder 4.6 32 bit verison.
I suspect there may be an incompatibility when switching to the 64 bit version of Flash Builder.

Hi everyone,
The problem is that Flash Builder 4.7 is not compatible with Extension Builder 2. Therefore we have provided Flash Builder 4.6 available for download, see links below.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you run into further problems.
