[CS2/CS3 JS]

Could someone please tell me why this doesn't work.
app.activeDocument.PasteboardPreferences.minimumSpaceAboveAndBelow = 50mm
The reported error is "Object does not support the method or property PasteboardPreferences"
I has taken this straight out of the scripting reference and have also tried changing the property to "pasteboardPreferences".
Thanks

That kind of error message would be a runtime error, but your original is a syntax error, so there's no hope of such a clear message -- it told you that it didn't like the "mm" suggesting that you should have used a semicolon -- which would probably have done the job for you if your units were set to millimeters anyway.
That's after you changed to a lowercase "P" of course.

Manage multiple versions(ID CS,CS2,CS3,CS4) of INDD files Indesign proxy for PC

Dear scripters,
I have multiple version of ID installed in my system. I have ID CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4. While I am opening (double click) the ID CS file, automatically the file opening in CS4. For solving this problem I have searched in the forums I found there is a program called INDESIGN PROXY for MAC OSX. It manages the problems well.
Now I am in the process of developing the application same like that for windows using VB. Here is my observation about Indesign proxy.
1. While user double clicks the Indesign file the argument is not passing to the Indesign.exe, but the argument passes to the Indesign proxy. Something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe" "%1"
to this
"C:\Program Files\IDproxy\proxy.exe" "%1"
2. The proxy exe lists all the version of IDs in a dialog box. If user selects CS2, the proxy exe passes the command argument something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe" "%1"
3. Now the file will open in correct version.
I am comfort with VB forums and coding but I am struck getting the file path while user double click's the file. I short need to get the file path of "%1" argument.
I think I am detailed.
Kindly advice me how can I proceed more?
Thanks

I don't think it's a mistake.
"InDesign CS4 (3.0)"
means: this is the OM for InDesign 3.0 (i.e., InDesign CS) that is contained in InDesign CS4.
Wait -- do you mean there might be a difference between "the OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS4" and, say, "OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS5" ?
Why on earth would anyone need that? I imagine it's not because even with versioning the 'older' scripts may not behave the same -- there must be dozens of mails about versioning not working ... I mean, if Adobe knows what causes older scripts to stop working (because, if I understand you correctly, they retroactively change it in the documentation for older versions), wouldn't it be yet easier to not cause those changes?

I bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

i bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

On which operating system are you trying to install these Adobe apps?
Please specify the operating system name and version.
If you have purchased new Macbook Pro, then you should have atleast Mac OSX 10.9 or later. However, i doubt you will be able to install most of these apps on it as they are pretty old apps except CS5 & Lr4.
Still you can give it a shot and check.
What happens when you try to install them?
Do you get any error message? An error screenshot or full text of the error, should be helpful.

CS2/CS3/CS4: Cannot get file path in Unicode of the current document on Windows

Hi All,
In my automation plugin I need to have full absolute path of the opened document with any possible non-English letters. Using SDK examples Listener and Getter that come with Photoshop SDK the full absolute path which I obtain is in the default ANSI code page (CP_ACP) and I can convert it to Unicode using MultiByteToWideChar() API. However this works well when I have corresponding to document name language set in the "Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use." For example if name of the document has Russian letters and chosen language in "Regional and Language Options" is also Russian the described conversion works well. If I change "Regional and Language Options" to English for example, full path returned by Photoshop SDK API (AliasToFullPath in PIUFile.cpp) for the document with Russian letters will contain "????????.psd" symbols.
So I need to have an ability to get absolute file path in Unicode. Is it possible in Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4 for Windows? I have searched forum and SDK but could not find info on it.
Is it possible to have native HANDLE of the opened file to get file info using Windows API?
Please advice.
Below given slightly modified code from Photoshop CS3 which I use to get absolute file pat of the opened document.
Thanks and regards,
Sergey
std::string outFilePath;
int32 theID = 0;
SPErr error = kSPNoError;
error = PIUGetInfo(classDocument, keyDocumentID, &theID, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
Handle theFileHandle = NULL;
error = PIUGetInfoByID(theID, classDocument, keyFileReference, &theFileHandle, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
int32 length = sPSHandle->GetSize(theFileHandle);
Boolean oldLock = FALSE;
Ptr pointer = NULL;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, true, &pointer, &oldLock);
if (pointer != NULL)
outFilePath = (char*)pointer;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, oldLock, &pointer, &oldLock);

Hi All,
Does anybody know, whether it is possible to get Unicode file path of the current document in Photoshop via Photoshop SDK API or without them?
Thanks,
Serhiy

Need to Uninstall CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 - Uninstall Tool Missing

We've been with Adobe for a long time.
We're upgrading computers and Mac OS on all to Mavericks.
Would like to clean up in the process.
Would like to thoroughly UNINSTALL all CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4 products on all computers.
We are currently using CS5. And, after installing Mavericks, will install CS6 Design Standard.
Most threads point to using the UNINSTALL TOOL ... but no one seems to have a link to where to get it?
It is not in the folders that everyone says it should be. I do not have it.
I hesitate to just DRAG the folders to the trash. I'd prefer a tool that will UNINSTALL proper plists, etc. ... not just trash the AP folder.
Anyone?

I have already been there.
1. In my Adobe Installers folder, there are only alias' folders for "Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium" and for "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2.1". When I "Show Original" and go there and try to OPEN the folder to run the uninstaller ... nothing opens. When I search for "Adobe Uninstaller", nothing is found.
2. I have downloaded and run the Cleaner Tool for CS3 and 4 ... but it was very very fast (didn't see a progress bar while it was working as expected) and CS3 and 4 are still in my applications folder. There was a message on one of them something about "support file missing".
So, this doesn't seem to have worked ... again.
In our office, we used to "trickle down" computers. The person with the oldest computer gets the new on and his goes to someone else. The problem with this has been that the person giving away the computer has been required to "clean it up" before passing it on and people haven't known HOW to do this. Thus, the missing uninstallers, etc.
So ... I want to delete (thoroughly) CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4, including Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager, Drive, Fireworks, Flash, Media Encoder, Stock Photos, Version Cue, SupportAdvisor ap.
Can I simply "drag to trash"? I suspect not. But unistallers don't seem to be present and cleaner tool doesn't seem to work.
Are the instructions for "manual" removal of all files?
Thank you.

CS, CS2 & CS3 place problem

Hi,
I was just wondering if someone could help me with the following problem:
All l'm doing is placing a text file into a text frame - sounds easy - test code below:
======
set boxContent to "HDPropane:textfile.txt"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
 activate
 set MyDocument to active document
 try
 set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
 «event K2 plac» (boxContent) with «class rtfo» without «class imot» given «class insh»:myframe
 on error emg
 display dialog emg
 end try
end tell
========
This works OK and will overwrite the contents each time... the problem is when you link the text frame to another text frame.... it still works fine if you run the script without having any contents in your text frames but as soon as you have some contents you get an error 'import failed' I get the same problem in CS, CS2 & CS3
I've even tried after the 'set myframe' adding set myframe contents to "" - adding this line was a little hit and miss sometimes it worked sometimes l got the same import failed message.
Regards, Gary.

Change this:
 set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
 «event K2 plac» (boxContent) with «class rtfo» without «class imot» given «class insh»:myframe
to something like this:
 set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
 set contents of parent story of myFrame to ""
 place file boxContent on myframe without showing options

It could be an issue with your font caches. Go get fontnuke and try deleting all your system and application font caches.
It doesn't sound like a preference issue if it's affecting all the other versions. Do you have the suite installed? Is Photoshop working properly?

Problem batch processing in CS2, CS3 and CS4e

I have all the above named programs and have tried unsuccessfully to get the batch process to work. I currently run it in CS with no problems. We want to upgrade to CS5e and actually be able to use it to process our web gifs without constantly going back to the old version.
I have an action set up with the following steps:
Start Record
Open File
Save for Web - Set Width to 150 pixels - Apply - Save (I select a folder called 150)
I repeat process for a 300 pixel image.
Close the file
Stop record.
Go to batch process:
Choose Action
Select Source Folder
Override Action "Open" Command is checked
Choose Destination Folder (150 from above)
I select OK.
This runs fine in PS CS and no matter how many files I have in the source I end of with the same number in both the 150 and 300 folder I have created, named correctly and in the correct 150 or 300 pixel width I need as gif files.
I repeat the same procedure in CS2, CS3 or CS4e and all I get is a folder with one image in it when done. the batch runs and you can see it opening files but it just constantly overwrites the original file.
I have tried to check other boxes such as the Override Action Save As Command and other things I have found on these forums but nothing is working.
I even called Adobe and was on the phone for 99 minutes and let them view my desktop while I ran the procedure in both PS CS and PS CS4e and they were stumped. I was told they would pass it on to supervisors and someone would call me back. I called back after a week since I had not heard from anyone and was told my call was recorded as a mis-dircted call and they had no record.
If someone could please help I would really appreciate it. I have spent the last three evenings combing websites and watching videos to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I have checked all those and am using the same settings from program to program without success. It always work
s in PS CS.

Identify the Application Version Cs/Cs2/Cs3???

Hi All,
I need to identify the Application Version [Cs/Cs2/Cs3].
Is there any way to identify using javascript???
Regards,
Ramkumar .P

It's not the endianness inside single bytes (thank the Silicon Gods for that!).[*] It's when you are working with values that require more than a single byte -- i.e., everything above 255 (which is the highest value that can be expressed -- normally -- with a single byte).
Everyone can see that 4589 is less than 9341, even though it has the same number of digits, because, well, the first one's rightmost digit is '9' and the second one's is '1' but that doesn't make sense, because it's the leftmost digit that counts most.
You're thinking, "Sure, but what about that endianness thingy?"
It's the same thing. Suppose you get two 2-byte values:
(a) 123 and 85
(b) 86 and 100
Which 2-byte value is the largest? Well, obviously it's the first one, as the most significant part (123) is clearly larger than that of the other (86). Now suppose you have to design a computer chip, and you have to decide in which order to store 2-byte values. It's quite obvious to you, me, and, for example, Motorola engineers, how you would do that: most significant byte first, then least significant.
Unfortunately, the designers of the most prevalent microchip to date, Intel, decided to do it ... the other way around. (Insert appropriate smiley/sad face/horror here). For some reason, they reckoned it useful to store the least significant part first. Remember, back in "the day" when this was decided, using two bytes to store a number was ... well, how golly big numbers do you computer techies want to process!? Two bytes, that's up in the thousands! Imagine!
So I imagine there must have been a highly technical reason for it.
The term "endianness", by the way, comes from Gulliver's Travels -- which, I'm sure, most of you read. Remember the Civil Wars on which end to start eating an egg?
Applying this to the (a) and (b) numbers, when you are asked "what is the bigger two-byte number?", then you ask "Is it Most Significant Byte first, or Least Significant first?" Is it the former, then it's (a); for the latter, it's (b).
[*] Above-criticized engineers had no problem in deciding that in
10010001
the highest bit value (128) is always on the left, and the lowest (1) is always on the right.

Double-click/Drag-&-drop Photoshop files opens application but not file or I get a message saying that some files in Application Support are missing and I have to reinstall. (Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3)

This is most commonly due to installing Photoshop CS/CS2 before doing an archive and install of Mac OS10.3 or OS10.4. One solution is to reinstall Photoshop 7/CS/CS3 after you have installed Mac OS10.3 or OS 10.4. If you have Photoshop 7 and 8(CS), the easiest way to reinstall Photoshop (without disturbing the original installation) is to install to your desktop. After the install is done just trash the Photoshop folder on the desktop. Note: This will only work with Photoshop 7 and 8(CS) but not with 9 (CS2). Photoshop CS2 you must delete the Photoshop CS2 folder. If you have any 3rd party Plugins or presets remove them from the folder before deleting. Just placing the folder in the trash will not work it must be deleted. After reinstalling CS2 you can now put all 3rd party Plugins and presets back in the new folder. --------------------------- Another solution courtesy Anne Shelbourne Open your Previous System folder. Find "Adobe Unit Types". Copy it into: <Your current system Hard Drive>/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ Then reboot your Mac. --------------------------- However, if you happen to be running a non-English version, like Photoshop CS CE or Photoshop CS ME, it appears the missing file does not get installed. You would need to install and delete the international English version first.

The problem you got into is a known problem after updating to Tiger. It is a small 4K file that gets trashed with the update. It is called the Adobe Unit Types. Both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements need this file to function.
One way to get it back is to reinstall Photoshop, the other is to add this file again.
You can get the file from here http://www.dd.se/Tips/bildbehandling/downloads/AdobeUnitTypes.zip
It is only 3,7 KB big.
You put the file you download here:
[hard disk] /Library/ScriptingAdditions. If you don't have a Scripting Additions folder, you create it.
As you trashed Photoshop, you need to completely deinstall it to be able to reinstall it.

CS1, CS2, CS3 Animated Gif Creation Error.

Example: http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/5665/walksz2.gif
Whenever I made an animated gif with a transparent background, the above happens. It doesn't hide the previous frame when drawing the next one. However, when I give it a non-transparent background, it is still fine - http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8080/walklk4.gif
How can I fix this? This happens in Photoshop CS1, CS2, and CS3.
Thanks,

Buying a iMac 24" Intel Core 2 Duo processor for CS2 & CS3?

I have been a PC and MAC person for many years, but would like to move to one platform, MAC.
I am a photographer that has been using a XP x64 PRO box (AMD 64 3800+, 4GB DDR Ram, Dual Monitors) for a couple years in my photography sorting and light editing and am wondering if an Intel iMac 24 could handle my daily tasks; they are as follows: These are all RAW files from a Nikon D2x or D200.
1. Loading the daily shots from a shoot using a card/media reader
2. Open and make the picks within Bridge
3. Open keeps in Camera RAW, I make 98% of my adjustments in Camera RAW.
4. Then open the ones that need alittle more tweaking into CS2 as 16bit, to make very minor corrections such as dodge and burn or a B&W conversion using channels; save as PSD/DNG.
5. I may print some of these to and Epson 1280.
Since I do not use any major filters and do very little heavy loading in CS2, will a iMac 24 handle this type of work.
Regards,
Johnny Kurtz

Well, thank you to all who responded.
I ordered my iMac 24 and it should have been here today, but snow has slowed my delivery to Utah, luckily it is coming new from the East Bay of San Francisco and will be here tomorrow.
I went with a 24" iMac 2.16 Intel Dual Core 2/2G RAM/500 G HD/Nvidia 7600GT256, and will be running dual monitor via the mini DVI port. I am also taking 3 SATA II drives from my PC and running them externally, firewire & USB. I am watching eBay and other sources for the 2GB DDR chip so I will have 3GB DDR soon.
I will run my PC version of CS2 until CS3 ships and will do a cross-upgrade to the Mac version then, also looking at Lightroom for culling the herd of photographs. I don't like the reviews and Apple Discussions about Aperture, maybe version 2.0.
Cheers,
Johnny

How to stop Leopard corrupting CS2/CS3 Photoshop files?

Ever since upgrading to Leopard 10.5.3 (including updates since then)--the DAY AFTER I installed 10.5.3--I have had intermittent corruption of Photoshop files (.psd, .tif, .jpeg). The only constant from the dozens of times this has happened is that it happens when I am saving in Photoshop; Photoshop freezes up, won't shut down; I have to manually reboot; and then the file I was saving AND files that had been saved in the last several hours (and were okay) have been corrupted into Mexican rugs. I repeat, files that were saved and opened and previously found to be okay ARE THEN RETROACTIVELY CORRUPTED along with the file I'm currently trying to save. Also, when Photoshop froze, before shutting down, I've tried opening recent files with Preview and they look okay, and I take captures of the images before I shut down, and after reboot these are corrupted as well. This has been going on for six months, unpredictably. It has happened with lots of things running (iTunes, DVD player, podcasts) and little running; with a full desktop and a clean desktop; saving to desktop, Lacie drives, and different internal drives on my G5. Apple Store says nothing wrong with my machine, I've wiped my drive and run Disk Warrior--no problems. The only constant is that I never had this problem prior to Leopard 10.5.3 and have had it ever since the day after I did that upgrade, and subsequent upgrades. It started with CS2, so I upgraded to CS3. It still happens, however unpredictably. I also noted tonight when it froze that after reboot, I couldn't use Spotlight for ten minutes because the OS was "indexing". Error messages include "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered", "Could not complete your request because the file is not a TIFF file (it is)", "Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing the TIFF file", " Cannot open file because it was created with different version of Photoshop (not true)". No other file formats or files are corrupted, only Photoshop-created files.
Please note that Apple’s release of 10.5.3 caused corruption of PS CS2 files when saved over networks, instigating upgrade 10.5.4 days later. I never had any problem like this with Panther or Tiger; indeed, I wish I’d never upgraded to Leopard due to the lost hours and income this corruption problem has created. But I did, and now I’m stuck. Any solutions out there?

If you're seeing issues with files from multiple applications, I'd suspect corrupt sectors on your hard drive. Do you have an external/another drive you could install OS X and your applications on and see if the symptoms persist?
Otherwise, here's another suggestion:
If I was dealing with your issue, here's what I'd do.
1) Backup my data--not a clone of the drive, since you're having issues.
2) Erase the drive and reinstall OS X. Do not bring in any applications yet.
3) Apply all OS updates.
4) Reinstall one 3rd-party (non-Apple) software application. Test this for a few hours or a day and see if any issues pop up.
5) If things are still error-free after a day, make a clone of the drive to an external. This way, if any changes you make cause problems, you can erase the internal and then restore your copy of the clone to the internal.
6) Install another application, and repeat the steps.
Best of luck to you!

Photoshop CS2 & CS3 + OS 10.6

Hi, I'm thinking about updating to 10.6. One issue is older software, since I cannot afford to upgrade any of that. Can someone tell me if Photoshop CS2 works on snow leopard? What about CS3? Thanks!
Jen

After the upgrade...CS3 appeared to work fine, but I had some issues (eventually resolved) when I added an new Epson printer (3880). I updated everything related to OS, printer, CS3 (much frustration). Now PS works a little differently for printing. After the "print" button is clicked in the print window, THEN another print setting window pops up for color management, etc. The final print button is in that second window. Very confusing, but it seems to work now.

CS2, CS3 & CS4 upgrade questions

Is it possible to have both CS2 and CS3 installed and functional on the same Windows machine at the same time? Same question with CS3 and CS4 and, if it can be done, are there any known issues that result?
I need to migrate our graphics station to the newer CS3 (and eventually CS4 ... probably around the time CS10 is released), but I can't afford to lose access to projects during the much slower than normal process of getting the newer version fully ready to go (i.e., all plugins and the many custom files they use within my projects accessible by the newer version). Sorry for the 101 question ... I work in corporate video now and our facilities are way behind the curve so I have now become that way too.

As Navarro said: Should be no problem. Be aware, though, that several of the "Edit original" and "Open in Bridge" type functions will always resort to the most modern version and these functions thus will not work fully in older versions. If e.g. you chose to "Browse Presets" in AE CS3 with CS4 already on your system, it would open Bridge CS4 and you would be able to view the presets, but could not apply them with a double-click as you would otherwise. Also expect some confusion when working with MPEG stuff. You may get warnings about missing CoDecs in Encore and Premiere or weird licensing warnings ("not included in trial version" and such...)
