Help editing Specify script - font

Trying to edit Metaphorical.net's Specify script so the I can choose a specific font. It defaults to Myriad. I would think I need to change something under here:
Create a text label that specify the dimension
function specLabel( val, x, y) {
var t = doc.textFrames.add();
t.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 8;
t.textRange.characterAttributes.alignment = StyleRunAlignmentType.center;
Everything I tried doesn't work. Appreciate the help.
Thanks!

textRange.characterAttributes.textFont doesn't do it for you?

Help identify this script font

Love this one. Do you know what the name of this font is. It's "Member
Benifits" in blue.
I'd like to use it for a restaurant menue I'm designing.

Thanks a lot in advance

You're welcome, Serge.
And feel free to turn off the Auto-Quoting feature of your newsreader client. It's usually not necessaryespecially in short threads like this onehere in the forums because most folks visit with a browser, and it's certainly not needed just to express your appreciation. If you'd like to quote a previous reply in order to make yourself understood, please do so manually.
Thanks!

I have created an editable PDF via Adobe Indesign. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, is there a way to specify a font style? Or is there a way in InDesign to make sure when someone type in that text field it is a certain font?

I need to make sure the text that is entered is a certain font to keep it continuous with the rest of the document. Thank you!

To go into form editing mode, select "Prepare Form" in the right hand pane. You'll then get a toolbar along the top that contains the various form-related tools. The first thing to do is add a temporary button. You'll use this to determine the name of the font for use with the script as well as place the script that will change the font properties of the text fields. So create a button anywhere, double-click it to bring up the field properties dialog, and on the Actions tab add a JavaScript action to the Mouse Up event that is:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button
app.alert(event.target.textFont);
On the Appearance tab, select the font that you want to use for the text fields. Once you've done that, close form editing mode and click the button. It will display a popup that will list the font name. This may be different than the name that appeared in the dropdown on the appearance tab, so write it down. For example, when I chose "Minion Pro" from the dropdown, the popup showed "MinionPro-Regular".
The next step is to replace that Mouse Up script with the following:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button
// Change the font and font size for all text field in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = "MinionPro-Regular";
        f.textSize = 9;
Replace "MinionPro-Regular" with the font name that you wrote down before and set the font size to whatever you want. Use 0 to specify a font size of "Auto".
This script will change the font of all text fields to whatever you specify. When you've confirmed that the text fields are set up as you want, you can go ahead and delete or hide the button. If you think you'll be doing a lot of forms work, you can create custom tools in Acrobat to speed up this process, but this should get you started. InDesign won't let you specify a lot of field properties and actions, so you have to work this way, and using automation scripts is an accessible way to significantly speed up the process and avoid mistakes.

Help editing the imageTracing.jsx Script

Hello, I am looking for guidance on how to properly edit the imageTracing.jsx script in Illustrator CC. At the moment it only defaults to using a basic black and white trace, I need the trace to use one of my presets, expand the trace and save it. I need to run thousands of frames of bitmap animation through a batch trace process essentially. I've tried to batch it through Bridge, but it just throws up and error (59 I believe) and I've set up an action to try and batch that way but it never completes the batch by expanding the trace.
I've tried editing the script myself, but if I change the preset numeral it appears to break the save and close functionality of the script. Not quite sure what I am doing wrong. I've also tried adding a line for expanding the trace but I may be using the wrong syntax --- tracing.expandTracing(); ---
Below is the default script as shipped with Illustrator, no changes made.
// Main Code [Execution of script begins here]
// uncomment to suppress Illustrator warning dialogs
// app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;

                        doc.saveAs(outfile);

Thanks in advance for your help, as you can imagine, manually tracing thousands of images for a client job will be a nightmare if I can't sort out a batch.

hello,
after line 32 :
var tracingPresets = app.tracingPresetsList;
do an alert :
alert( app.tracingPresetsList );
it'll show you the name of the differents presets
then line 57, call the good preset :
t.tracing.tracingOptions.loadFromPreset('here the name of your preset');
for expanding :
change line 58 like that :
t.tracing.expandTracing();
you forget (t.) at the beginning
best wishes for the new year

Need Help on powershell Script to send mails in different languages

Hello, Just wanted to use the script below to remind users of password expiry date (I got it from internet New-Passwordreminder.ps1). We have companies in many countries, so the email should be in the language of that country. So since our users are in different
OU's according to countries, I thought some one could help me edit this script and say if the user is in AB ou then email in english will be sent, if in BC ou then the email will be in Russian....So in the script I will have all the languages I need
to have written.
<#

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Acrobat Form Fill Fields - Can you specify a font?

I am using the new feature of InDesign CS6 that allows creation of form fields for PDFs. After exporting the page to PDF via the interactive setup dialog [command+E 'Adobe PDF (interactive)] I'll inspect the finished PDF in Acrobat 9. Everything looks as it should, except that when I type in some sample text in a text field, it uses Times Roman as the font. I would like it to use Arial regular.
I can't find any way to specify a font for these form fields in InDesign CS6. This particular project involves quite a large number of files - so I'd rather avoid a process that requires me to go in to Acrobat and 'tweak' each PDF, changing the font in the properties dialog of each field to the Arial.
Is there a way to set the font of a form field directly in InDesign? I've looked around and can't find a menu or dialog that addresses this.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can edit the typeface used in your text fields in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Create your form with all the appropriate text fields you would like in InDesign CS6 then:
export your form from InDesign CS6 as an interactive PDF
open your file in Adobe Acrobat Pro
Click "TOOLS" on the right hand side (next to sign and comment)
Click "INTERACTIVE OBJECTS"
Click "SELECT OBJECT"
Then select all or any text fields you would like to changeif selected the text field should appear blue, not red, as well as displaying the description (if you assigned one while creating your form in InDesign)
Once selected RIGHT CICK (if using a MAC or mouse without a right click button press crtl + click your mouse)
a pop-up should appear and the at the top of the list you will see PROPERTIES
click properties and go to APPEARANCE
under the TEXT section you will see options to alter your text fields designated typeface, color and size
NOTE: I believe if the user filling out the form does not have the typeface you assigned to the text field(s) it will default to New Times Roman

Help needed on setting fonts up

I've consulted my Linux books for this, I've read the Wiki, I've searched the forum and read dozens of different threads concerning this topic; I've searched the net and read tons of different stuff there as well; I've tried different configurations and to understand, what's really going on, but the only thing that helped a little bit in the end was adding the following in my xorg.conf (strange though, I never had to do this in Zenwalk and its not there in my xorg.conf either):
Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
Fact is, my fonts still look like crap and the only thing I haven't tried yet is editing the /etc/fonts/local.conf and ~/.fonts.conf, simply due to the fact that both files don't exist on my Arch system. Do I have to set them up myself?
And if you have any further recommendations what can be done to make fonts look good, they are very welcome!
Thanks in advance.

Thank you!
But I guess I have to accept the fact that, for whatever reason (which is beyond my understanding), fonts look different in Arch Linux.
I've installed the ttf-ms-fonts, ttf-dejavu and ttf-bitstream-vera fonts already. I've also installed artwiz-fonts, but Xfce doesn't find them, so there must've been gone something wrong already. I've also consulted the Wiki already and read different entries there concerning fonts. I've also checked the Gentoo Linux Wiki Howto Xorg & Fonts. I've ran fc-cache, mkfontscale and mkfontdir. The only thing I haven't done yet is creating a soft link like this:
ln -s /usr/share/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir yourfontdirectory/encodings.dir
Because I don't quite understand this soft link (my font directory is /usr/share/fonts ?).
Finally, I have created a /etc/fonts/local.conf file. But neither this nor everything else I've tried up to now has helped really. Only adding the DPI stuff to my xorg.conf has changed the fonts to a reasonably size. But that's about it.
I add some screenshots to demonstrate what I'm talking about.

Since updating Firefox, just about every window I open uses a script font that is very small and unreadable -- why, and how can I get it to use normal fonts?

I never had this issue before the last update I made. The font is a font on my computer and I thought that maybe it was the font and if I disabled it, the problem would go away. But sadly, it just picks another fancy script installed on my computer. It doesn't matter how many I disable, Firefox continually picks another fancy script to replace the ones I've disabled. What's odd is that some windows I open are almost entirely the fancy script and others may only have one line or a heading in the script. This is not an issue at all on Safari and was never a problem on Firefox until the next to last update I made.

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:
*http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/multipleappsquit.html - Font Book 2.0 Help: Checking for damaged fonts
*http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/garbled_fonts_troubleshooting_guide.html
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can also try different default fonts.

EDITING SQL SCRIPT IN CRYSTAL REPORTS

I just installed Version 12 and am trying to edit SQL scripts in Crystal Reports that were created in Version 8. When opening the Database tab on the Main Menu, the Query Panel is greyed out and not accessible. I can view the SQL Query but cannot edit it. If someone can advise me what to do I would be very appreciative.
Edited by: Frank Romano on Mar 18, 2009 4:17 PM

Hi Frank,
Here is the SAP Note that says that you cannot edit SQL from Crystal 9 and later
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR) 8.5 and earlier, it is possible to edit the SQL statement in the 'Show SQL Query' dialog box. Doing so allows the report designer to modify the SQL statement that CR generates. Starting with Crystal Reports version 9, users are no longer able to modify the SQL in the 'Show SQL Query' window.
How can you control the SQL statement that Crystal Reports sends to the database?
Resolution
To control the SQL statement that Crystal Reports 9 and later uses, use the 'Add Command' feature to create a Command Object. The 'Add Command' feature replaces the ability to edit SQL statements in the 'Show SQL Query' dialog box. Use this dialog box to write your own SQL command (query) which will be represented in Crystal Reports as a Table object.
More Information
Additional information about creating and using Command Objects ('Add Command') can be found on our support site and within the Online Help file contained in Crystal Reports.

HELP! Embed PDF Font for Qoop Document

I am attempting to create a book for qoop.com; howevver every time I attempt to upload the pdf, created in Adobe Acrobat (version 6.x), I get an error message stating that "The file you uploaded contains non-embedded fonts that we cannot print. Please embed the fonts and re-upload." I have contacted the Qoop company; however they just said to google it to find the solution....AWESOME customer service! At any rate I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. My file is all Times New Roman, has columns, bullet points and bold fonts (if any of this matters).
Thanks SO much for any help you can provide.

Select the Print or Press job options settings. The Standard settings does not embed Times Roman and other default fonts. Check the font properties of the job settings files to be sure. You can do that in Distiller if you like by selecting the job settings and then selecting edit => check the fonts tab. For the Standard, Arial and Times-New-Roman are both listed as never embed. They are not listed in that set for the Press or Print settings.

Script Font Styles

I am currently using the CFR Builder 8. When I am design mode I can apply a script font style and see the font style no problem but, when I pull the report from the web the font style reverts back to a non-script type.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated..
Examples:
Design Mode:
Live Mode:

Resolved: The font style has to be added to the Coldfusion Admin. Font Manager.

How do I get to use my printer post script fonts in Illustrator and In Design

I am running the CS2 Suite with Photo Shop, Illustrator, and In Design. I have purchased a Xerox 8550 post script printer, and it comes with 40 really cool post script fonts. I know that Adobe uses the common files folder in program files to store the fonts, but it dosn't list the fonts that are resident in my printer. Is there any way that I can tell the common files area that I have these resident fonts, if so, how?
Thanks,
Tom

That would be up to the printer driver. When installed, it should create either a full set of PostScript fonts, a set of bitmap placeholder fonts or offer a way to manage fonts on the printer, including downloading them manually - if allowed. The driver is also the place where to look for font substitution rules. Double-check the manual/ help files for the printer, I'm sure it's explained somewhere...

Please edit my script to get specific measurements?

Please edit my script to get specific measurements?
Hi Guys,
I do have script, which gives specific measurements of selected objects. This is working great. But I need the following requirements.
·      Size should come exactly. That means the selected object is 10.4mm. But this script is measuring as 10mm, which is not correct exactly.
·      Color should be following.
o   Measurement line color with ‘XYZ’ PMS
o   Measurement text color with ‘ABC’ PMS
Here is the script of that.
Thanks in advance...
Kind Regards
HARI

Here is the script of that..

Edit rman script

Hi guys,
someone can tell me if is possible to edit rman script in Backup Jobs definition of Grid?
I've scheduled some jobs backup and I need to edit script but don't find where i can edit it..
thanks
Andrea

hi,
yes this is possible.
from grid, select the database and then scroll down to the bottom of the page, there you will see a section called Related Lin ks,
one of these is jobs.
select this and you will then get a page which shows any scheduled jobs, completed jobs.
there are also a number of options one of which is 'edit', this will allow you to edit your job.
hope this helps
Alan
