Problem with missing links.

Hi,
I've created similar topic in InDesign Server Developer forum section (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b70e8d). I post it here having hopes of possible solution in the range of scripting.
Company I work for is developing web application that processes InDesign documents (we use CS2 and CS3 servers).
We experience problem when users upload documents containing external links to some network paths and these network paths are inaccessible from our server. In this cases performance degrades drastically. For example document with 20 external links to network paths is opened by InDesignServer by 7 minutes, while the same document with external links to some local path is opened within 5 seconds.
I suggest that this degradation is caused by time InDesign Server is trying to access network path to check status of the link, as it can take a lot of time to assure that path is invalid.
Does anybody if I can do something via scripting to avoid that link lookup or make it shorted, and preserve that links in the same time?

hi all,
> Does anybody if I can do something via scripting to avo id that link lookup
> or make it shorted, and preserve that links in the same time?
it's definitely a timeout problem. indesign tries to access these links.
i've the same problems with indesign desktop cs3 last occurrence with 5.0.3
haven't tested with 5.0.4.
haven't found a solution yet, but would greatly appreciate one!

Problems with Dinamic Link between Premiere pro CC and After Effects CC

I'm having serious problems with dinamic link between premiere pro and after effects, really serious problems that have 2 big projects in trouble (a documentary and a video clip) and I had to redo all the work pipeline to the consumer.
The documentary for a spanish TV was made on CC 2014 and a video clip was made on CC. Both of them with a lot of after effects composition in the premiere pro timeline. Render freeze, a lot of playback issues, and many more problems... Until I decided to remove these links between premiere and after effects and render out all the after effects compositions one by one and insert as clips in premiere pro. 1 week working away with back and fourth.
I've got a huge workstation:
i7 4990
32Gb ram
GTX780 3gb
256 gb system ssd
2 Tb project storage
*All my hardware and software are update.
I know that a lot of folks are on the same huge problem and I want to ask everyone:
How do you save this?
What is your pipeline?
Are there any solution?
Best practice to use dinamic link in a huge project?
Thanks,

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it.
This happens only when a load my pdf file on my server, because if i click on the link when the file is on my iPad, the page opens without problem.
Any help please?
thanx

the % sign is often used when there's a space in a name. HTML doesn't like spaces so it fills them with % or %20
try, on the end of that link, see if there's a space built into the page or the link when the page was made
On the web address you may be able to 'backspace' at the end and erase that space to get the address, but whomever made the page possibly put a mistake in the link

Problem with Help Link in search result screen of PCUI

Hi,
I am trying to access the pcui applications that came out of box with crm using BAB,everthing is working fine but got a problem with "Help" link in top right (beside personalize link) the search result area of all the PCUI screens.
when i click on that i get "page cannot be displayed" error, seems that it is pointing to some wrong URL, where should i change the url to point to our company's help site for that link..
clicking on the properties of that link shows that it is pointing to
javascript:CATshowF1(%20'/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_bsp_f1_help/f1help.do?doctype=kw&loio=70B4ED8E03595645A6ABA33B4576BB57&class=IWB_EXTHLP&language=E' );
Please help me in this regard.
Thank you

My response help resolve Kodru's Message which he also posted in EP Implementation Forum. He resolved it by changing the variant noted below.
The link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40/helpdata/EN/70/B4ED8E03595645A6ABA33B4576BB57/content.htm should display Activity Info.
First I would check if the crm_bsp_f1_help service has been activated in SICF.
Secondly I would check the settings in the IMG -> SAP WAS -> Know. Mgt. -> Settings in App. Sys. -> Usage of Help Type "Dynamic Help". The Tab PlainHtmlHttp should have a variant called CRM_HELP, Server Name (help.sap.com) and path.

After Effects won't close/Problems with dynamic links

When I quit After Effects the icon still shows up and it says that it is still open, even force quit will not work. Also having problems with dynamically linked files between after effects and Premiere pro. Rendering in Premiere doesn't work unless I go to AE, save the project, then go back to Premiere. I have OSX Mavericks 10.9.2, a late 2012 mac pro, and AE CC 12.2.1.5

Kevin: would appreciate further thoughts on this.
I am using Pr2014, version 8.0.0 I am using AE2014, version 13.0.2.3. When I was on earlier versions of each, I had no problem importing AE comps into Pr. I'd choose import in Pr, then select the AE project, then select the comp. But with my new and improved versions of AE and Pr, I keep getting "importer reported a generic error."
I also tried to go the other way. I selected in Pr the clips I wanted to work on in AE, and then tried "replace with AE comp" but got the "generic error" message again..
Finally, I attempted to create a Dynamic Link from Pr via the File menu, but with each of the options from there, I got "failed to connect to AE Dynamic Link"
Any advice you can share, would be most welcome.

Strange problem with Database LInk

Hi Everyone,
I have strange problem with Database Link in Oracle 11g Express Edition;
There are two computers: computer-server and computer-client. Tnsnames.ora are the same on both computers ie.
CT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = krzysztof)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
I created database link :
Create database link zdalny
Connect to <user_id> identified by <password>
using ‘CT’;
Client can’t connect with server when I am using above command. But when I change “using” for using ‘krzysztof:1521’ or using ‘krzysztof’ or using ‘server IP:1521’ – everything is ok.
Why I am asking. Because in all materials which I am reading about Oracle command with using ‘CT’ should be working correct. But there is not. Do you know, why?
Thanks in advance and apologize for my English.

PS. I tried with using 'XE' - not working.Assuming that is the correct tnsnames, of course XE is not working. You don't have a tnsnames entry for 'XE'.
You need to be aware that when using a dblink, the client is the db in which the link is defined, not the desktop from which you connect to that database.
I think you need to start here:
http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/ora-12154tns-03505/
http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/sqlnet_overview/ (Help! I can’t connect to my database )
http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/sqlnet_client_cfg/ (Help! I can’t connect to my database (part duex) )
The fact that your client (db link) is a database doesn't change anything taught in the above.

Problem with subrpt links in crystal reports 8.5 (cr 9 and 2008 installed)

I am trying to add a subreport to an existing CR 8.5 report. I currently have Cr 8.5, cr 9 and cr 2008 on my pc (xp). The subrpt is pointing to a sql 2005 stored procedure that has a parameter (@vvcrCono). When I try to set up the link, the parameter is not listed in the of available parameters to link to. I select a field from the available fields on the main report, hit the > to move it over as a field to link to, and the dropdown that contains the list of parms to link to on the subreport will change to ?pm-(fieldname). I do not see the parm list from the subreport. I am unable to get the link defined. This occurs even when trying to edit an existing subreport.
Is there a problem with running these crystal report versions on the same machine? Or am I just missing something? It has been a while since I've used cr 8.5.

Joanne, thank you for your posted solution and specifically your mention of miniscule scroll bar of the 'subreport parameter field to use' drop down, I had been on several forums but none of them mentioned this, my subreport now accepts the passed parameter and main report works well. Hope your post helps others as it did me, only wish we could include a graphic to illustrate this as I have seen same question posed several times and several different msg boards.

[CS4 WinXP] InDesign crashes on opening docs with missing links

Hi,
I expect this issue is more to do with the PC than InDesign itself but I would be interested to know if anyone else has seen a similar problem (and been able to resolve it).
The design team in my office have just been given new HP Compaq PCs with CS4 (inc. InDesign 6.0.4). When these designers attempt to open certain InDesign documents, their InDesign will crash with no warnings or dialogues. The same documents can be opened on other (older) PCs without crashing.
The documents which crash all contain links to graphics on a network which is not available. The same document will open on older PCs but will obviously report missing links. The network is not available to the older PCs either. The older PCs are also running InDesign CS4 (6.0.4).
If the failing documents are opened on older PCs and the links removed, these can then be opened on the new PCs with no issues.
As I said, I expect this is a PC/Networking issue rather than InDesign itself but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Simon Kemp

Try changing the preferences regarding checking links on open, and also using a workspace that doesn't include the links panel or preflight. That might be enough to get the files to open, and exporting to .idml or .inx and resaving might solve th problem (for that matter, it wouldn't hurt to export one from the older machine and see if that will open).

Hi - Go ahead and try the steps in this document. It will walk you through cleaning the contacts on both the cartridge and in the carriage. What can happen over time is ink residue can accumulate on the contacts preventing the ink cartridges from working properly. If this doesn't resolve the issue, try setting the cartridge with the nozzles face down on a damp paper towel for about 45 seconds just to resolve any problems with the ink nozzles.
Hope that helps.

4.1.1 SDK Problems with missing xpacket tags in sidecar XMP files

The current 4.1.1 SDK has problems with sidecar XMP files that don't have the xpacket headers and trailers, i.e:
<?xpacket begin='ï»¿' id='W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d'?>
<?xpacket end='w'?>
is missing. Now, unfortunately Adobe Bridge CS2/CS3 does not export these xpackets in sidecar XMP files.
The standard, http://www.aiim.org/documents/standards/xmpspecification.pdf, is also very vague about it all:
● Write external metadata as though it were embedded and then had the XMP Packets
extracted and catenated by a postprocessor.
The grammar is strange(past tense had) and the spec implies that the xpacket should be extracted and again catenated... Someone should review this document and clearly state if xpacket statements should be in sidecar files or not. I suspect myself that they should be there, but the standard is very vague.
Anyway, there are two places in the SDK code where changes might be needed:
XMPFiles::Initialize has XMP_Asserts in case the xpacket header/trailer is missing, but the underlying assert is only active in debug builds.
XMPScanner::PacketMachine::FindNextPacket () also has in its truth table the assumption that the xpackets exist.
There could be even other places in the code that assumes that the xpacket tags are present in all files, which includes text XMP sidecar files.
Anyway.
a) Shouldn't bridge export the xpacket tags? Same with any other application?
b) If the spec is vague, then the SDK should not assume that the xpacket tags are present.
Any comments? Has someone already fixed this issue as I suspect a lot of apps using the the XMP SDK would break concerning reading XMP sidecar files? Thx, Kent

I was able to work around the problem by creating a mapped view of the .xmp file (this creates an array in memory backed by the file on disk, so there's no need to read the file into a separate internal buffer), and constructing the SXMPMeta object directly from the buffer. (The ctor for that class calls ParseFromBuffer, so this is the same thing as was suggested by other messages in this thread.)
It seems that Adobe needs to do one of these things:
(1) say that Bridge CS3 has a bug, and agree that Bridge CS3 should include a proper xpacket header when writing xmp sidecar files
(2) say that the XMP Toolkit has a bug, and that the SDK should be able to parse sidecar files without an xpacket header, and agree to fix the toolkit
(3) say that Bridge CS3 and the XMP Toolkit behave as expected, but then provide a sequence of steps by which users of the XMP Toolkit are expected to read xmp sidecar files written by Bridge CS3
Does Bridge CS4 write an xpacket header to the xmp sidecar files?
Maybe what I could do is create a custom file handler for .xmp sidecar files, so I could use the SXMPFiles for everything, instead of having to special-case .xmp files.
My needs are pretty modest though, and it might be just as simple to use the MS DOM-based XML parser for load the xmp sidecar file. I bet I could get the data I need (only the "Rating" for now) using a simple XPath expression.

Export to pdf with missing links

I recieved a indesign document with a few missing links on some small thumbnails. Is there any way to embed pictures with already missing links?
using ID CS5
Thanks

PDF export is a background task by default in CS5, so it can look like nothing is happening for a while (or it could be stalled). Open the Background Tasks panel and see if anything is really going on.

Problem with action links

I have a relatively simple DVD project with 10 movie sequences each placed on a separate timeline. DVD has just one menu with a Button: "Watch whole movie" which basically sequences all 10 clips and then back to the menu.
Then I also have 10 Sequence-Buttons on the menu that should only show the respective sequence and then back to the menu.
1. I set up the action sequence for "Watch the whole movie" m1-m2-m3-m4-m5-m6-m7-m8-m9-m10-menu. No problem with that.
2. When I then start working on the first sequence button "SCENE 1" the problem starts. What I want is just Scene1-back to the menu. I tried it without and with end action override but then I disturbed the m1-m2-m3-m4-m5-m6-m7-m8-m9-m10-menu sequence.
I really couldn't figure out this simple task. Maybe somebody can give me a hint.

1. I set up the action sequence for "Watch the whole movie" m1-m2-m3-m4-m5-m6-m7-m8-m9-m10-menu. No problem with that.
Actually, that is the problem. Instead of making the end action of each timeline the next timeline, create a Playlist and sequence the timelines in there. Your play all button links to the playlist. End action of the playlist is Return to last menu.
Without end actions that go to the next movie, your Scene buttons will work fine. (The end action on each timeline will be "Return to Last Menu."

Problem with PDF, link in website doesn't find the adobe

We are using Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8 and Adobe Reader 9.0.
There is a website with a link to open the dokument with adobe. But when we take a klick on this link adobe isn't found. The format of the file is any file and there only cryptical sign in the file, which would be open. Please - I need help!

I have the same problem - shocked that this hasn't been addressed by Adobe or Microsoft. It began with recent updates. Adobe Reader will not open a .pdf file on the web. I sometimes get the following dialog but mostly I get a blank screen with "Done" in the status bar.
If I open a .pdf from my hard drive I get a message about protected mode. If I click on the link in the message, I get Adobe instructions about turning off protected mode - but it is already turned off. If i cancel that message i can open a local .pdf.

Two problems with my linked text

Hi, I am having a couple of problems with my code for a link.
Problem 1
I am trying to get the text "learn more" to be "red" on (main) but it is only showing "red" on (over) or hover. Please tell me how to make the text "red" on (main).
Problem 2
The code seems to be identical for all thumbnails but only the text below the "circled" image seems somewhat correct. I can't figure out why the other text has a link (is linked) when the code is the same as the "circled" code.

<a href="http://www3.telus.net/~jessum/holiday pools/services.html" target="_self">
Thanks Nancy, so I named my main website folder "holiday pools", (with a "space") I guess this is bad. So in my code (see above) there is a space in "holiday pools".
Question #1
Do you know how can I delete the space or add a underscore without destroying all of my linked pages and images?
Question #2
I read that this (see below) is how I can add comments without it being visible in the browser, so why is this giving me errors?
