Can I create an action that will print to a specific printer?
Hi all,
Simple question. I want to create two buttons. One that will print a form to printer 1 (a work printer) and one button that will print to printer 2 (OneNote printer, aka Send to OneNote).
Is that possible? No extra options needed, just a quick print.
With the JavaScript doc.print method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.511.html
you can include the printer you want in the printParams object: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1007.html

How to create an action that will crop two sections from one scanned image?
I'm trying to create an action that will automate the process of cropping the left and right pages from a series of two-page book scans.
I tried to create a 2 step action which first crops the left half of a scan (by setting the left margin to 0in and the right margin to 6in) and then the right half of the scan (by setting the left margin to 6in and the right margin to. 12in), however when executing, only the left half appears to be cropped.
I imagine this is due to the fact that once one side of the initial scan is cropped, the other side disappears.
Is there any way around this?Basically i need to create a new document out of a folder full of images.
You may have to look into Scripting to achieve something like this.
You could ask in the Scriptimg Forum
Photoshop Scripting
But maybe it would suffice to insert the Menu Item
File – Scripts – Load Files into Stack
into the Action and then iterate through the Layers with [ or ] and reset the opacities and Blend Modes – but as Actions would not be able to change the number of repetitions of the operation conditionally a custom Script would still seem preferable. -
How can I create an action that uses "Find and replace"?
Hi there,
I'm trying to create an action that will use "Find and replace" to change certain words and phrases in my .psd-files. These are words and phrases I change a lot (I'm translating emails and website banners) and I would like to speed up that process using actions.
When I tried to create the action I got the error message "The object "in contents of all text layers" is not currently available".
Then I tried "insert menu items" and chose "Find and replace" and then did my change, but then it stopped when the FAR-window popped up. That's what I want to skip, so it just changes my words and phrases that I want.
Is this possible?
Best,
CarlAnyway, in the Script in that other thread the function replaceText takes two Strings, so something like
function main () {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
replaceText ("replace this", "with this")
would be a possibility. -
Can I create a button that will take me to a random slide in a sequence?
Let's say I have three simulations setup and the simulations start on slide 5, 15, and 23. Can I make a button that will randomly jump to one of those slides?
You have to execute that script using an event, in this case you'll use the Success event of the button that you created to 'jump'. And it will probably be an advanced action, unless you execute the JS with the On Enter event of the slide. You have two commands: first to execute the script, second to jump to that slide, for which you'll have to use a system variable cpCmndGotoSlide and the value of the variable returned by the JS. Slide numbering starts with index 0.

Having stopped audio with a swf inside a sidelet can someone create a swf that will resume the audio
Ok, rick is going to post the fla of this file and I will
post the swf. Basically this is all about having a slide that has
audio running all the way through and enabling the user to roll
over a sidelet and have the video and audio stop playback.
At present, the max you can achieve is, to stop video. The
audio keeps going and of course everything gets out of
sync. Rick has create a swf that you input into a sidelet (
after having imported your image or video ) which stops the audio.
Fantasitc. Unfortunatly he was not successful in creating a swf
that will resume the audio.
So there is the mission. To create something that will resume
the audio, be it a swf inside the sidelet or something else.Hi there paul. Am I right in thinking that your code will
mute the audio. In my situation this would cause problems becasue
you would roll over the sidelet - the audio would go silent and
when you rolled off, or resumed the audio, it would have been
playing so again the video and audio will be out of sync.
Rick - rather than another swf which would activate the audio
and video when you roll off the sidelet ( while that is the perfect
solution ) what about looking at a button the user can press to
resume things, maybe Im wrong but that sounds a little easier.
( however for all those reading this that is not really the
solution I am looking for, what Im looking for is the above
solution where you can just roll off and on and so on ) -
I've created a front panel that consists of booleans. When one is chosen it will open a different subsequence in Teststand, and then walk the user through the appropriate test.
The problem is, what if the user hits the wrong button and decides he doesn't want to run the test which opened. He can cancel out, but the results for the test are recorded (usually failing, because the default values are present). This, then, causes the entire test to fail.
Is there any way I can place a button in a VI like 'exit, do not record results' along with the current 'exit and record results' button I have now?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Dave NeumannHi,
Find attached a VI (LV6.1) that will disable the results.
You will need to call the DisableResults again passing False to enable the results during your execution.
But I believe once your Step has executed you cannot then disable the Results for that step. The only way is to remove the result from the ResultList.
(see example sequence2.seq).

How can I create an action that dynamically appends the filename, when saving?
I have created a batch file that watches a folder for .jpgs. When a jpg is found, it runs a Photoshop droplet that resizes and exports six different sizes of the same image, then closes the image. This all works fine, however the step I am stuck on is getting Photoshop to dynamically rename the files. What I mean is when I drop in a file named something like filename.jpg, I want the images to be named according to the width of resize. Exported files should be filename-1400.jpg, filename-1200.jpg, filename-800.jpg, etc. filename2.jpg would become filename2-1400.jpg, filename2-1200.jpg, filename-800.jpg. As it is now, Photoshop names the files the same names I saved them as, while creating the actions.
I am using Photoshop CS6.What OS and verson of AI? Along with what Myle said, in the Actions panel is a column which allows the dialogs to be turned on/off. Make sure this is unchecked at all levels of the Action.

Can you create a button that will go to multiple key frames?
Hi, I am trying to make a rpg style character select interface. What i am trying to do is very similar to the picture below. How do you create a button like the stats, gear, and supplies that will each show a different image or text depending on which character you choose. If noone have played this marvel facebook game before, if you choose for instance Ironman, then the buttons on the right change to stats, bio, and gear. Each character will show a different bio when the bio button is clicked. Do i create a different screen for each character with the same button layout in the same place? I think i just answered my own question but i want to make sure that is possible. Should each character portrait, stats, bio, and gear be on its own layer and have the buttons go to those specific keyframes? thanks
While you could create a different screen for each, a better way to do this is via some form of database. The buttons cause functions to be executed and the functions utilize data resources based on the selections that are established.
So if you pick a particular character, a variable is a assigned a value that indicates that. That variable is then utilized to extract the data associated with the character and to build the screen elements related to the options for that character. -
Adobe can you create a palette that will save favorite typefaces?
How awesome would it be to have a palette across CC where favorite fonts can be saved. Along with that have filters such as: serif, san serif, bold, condensed, script, ect. This could be a huge time saver and I think designers everywhere would love it. Any one else agree?
It's a reasonable request, especially since Adobe is already starting to go down this road. InDesign CC has a font menu feature where there's a star next to every font name, and if you click the star you mark that font as a favorite. At the top of the InDesign font menu are filter icons for favorite fonts and TypeKit fonts, so if you click the favorites filter the font menu will only display the fonts you marked as favorites. (Illustrator also has a font menu filter, but right now it doesn't do favorites.)
BearHNC wrote:
...along with that have filters such as: serif, san serif, bold, condensed, script, ect...
Adobe Muse has a useful filter like that for easier browsing through TypeKit fonts before you add them to the Font menu.
So Adobe is already doing a form of the features you're asking for, so when you make your request on the feedback site you will want to make a case for having Adobe extend those existing features into other CC apps like Photoshop. -
Can I create a folder that will automatically update files changed on a USB stick?
Hi,
I am just wondering if there is a way to do this.
here's the situation, and what I'd like to happen.
I have a folder on a USB thumb drive with files in
A file within the set of folders is changed (on, for example, a college computer)
When I connect my USB to my Mac, the file that was changed on the college computer, then replaces the same file on my Mac so they're both the same version.
Basically, a syncronised folder so that all of my work that is changed on my USB will then be changed on my Mac automatically so that if I lose my keys and USB, I still have all of my work.
Maybe there's an AppleScript that would work?
Thank you in advance!
SamYou should discuss with your college the licensing there. If they have any Macs, it is essential they have this software in anycase.

i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?
With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config. -
Creating a button that will Copy my view from so I can paste it to MS Word
Is there a way I can create a button that will copy my view from so I can paste it MS Word?
I know I can select the entire form and copy and paste it, but is there a way to do it via a button similar to my "Print Form" button?
Thank you.so there isn't a button that will copy the text my view form?
instead of highlighting the data I want to easily copy it so I can paste it on a word document
I came up with a script that when a item is highlighted I click the copy to clipboard and it copies the item.
<script type="text/javascript">
function CopyToClipboard()
CopiedTxt = document.selection.createRange();
CopiedTxt.execCommand("Copy");
</script>
but is there a way I can put in the script the area I want to start the copy from instead of highlighting the text first?

I want to be able to fill out the form and it place itself into Sheet 1 without changing everytime. I can index the array from the form, but it changes everytime.You think it would be the other way around.
Just speculation, but forms probably came to iOS first because of likely use for data entry in the field that syncs back to the Mac. On a small screen with a touch interface, forms make inputing values easier.
On the Mac, with its bigger screen, typing directly into a data table often works well enough.
