Script for printing using alternate layout in Word

I am relatively new to Applescript, but have a basic understanding of commands, etc. I am trying to write a script to print the active document in MSWord in draft quality. I often print large volumes of docs for quick reference but do not need high quality output. I am simply saving ink. How does Applescript access the printing preference settings? The Word script library obviously has no specific commands for the print dialog options, and I don't see any applescript commands to do it either. Since printing is handled by OS X, not by Word, I assume the commands will rest outside of the Word tell block?
Any help would be super!

It can't be done using only a PDF file - any link to a URL will simply open your web browser, and whatever handler that browser uses when presented with MP3 files will be triggered (download, play, etc.) - nothing in the PDF can override that handler and force a "save" operation.
Instead you'll need to configure your website to force downloads (using HTTP headers) and link to those URLs instead; which is a subject outside this forum.

Script for downloading files from pdf placed on web, script for printing for exchange-

Looking for java script command to set on button in pdf. We have mp3 and pdfs on our web site, example of URL: http://www.uzlicek.cz/download/Pohadky/O_holcicce_ktera_si_prala_byt_dospela.mp3

Any suggestion? In case of using “link tool” the file starts downloading to cache and this is not the objective. In case of using “sound tool”, the file does not appear for saving.
For exchange the script for Print the current page:

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

Error with styles when using Alternate Layout

I'm trying to use the new Alternate Layouts function in CS6 to create a template for both 8-1/2"x11" and A4 sized pages. While trying to create the alternate layout, I receive an error that says, "One or more styles were not mapped. Cannot create a mapped style when one of the source styles is based on another source style."
I think this means that InDesign doesn't like that some of our styles are based on others - for example, Figure references are based on Body text, with bold-italic-centered changes. I have changed all the paragraph styles to be based on "[No Paragraph Style]" instead of being based on other styles, yet I still get the error. What should I do? Thanks.

That's a great find Mike. I just ran into this problem myself and sure enough, removing the nested styles did the trick. That being said, I didn't get the error when creating the first Alternate Layout (even though the source layout contained nested styles). I didn't receive the error until creating the second Alternate Layout. I ended up removing the nested styles, creating the Alternate Layout, then putting them back in. Fortunately with this project, I don't have a ton of nested styles. If I did, it would be a huge pain. Anyone at Adobe able to comment on this issue? Known issue?

Marcela,
Your script sets EDITOR to an echo command which appends to $4, which is s1
in your invocation of addserver.sh.
However, tmconfig invokes $EDITOR on file /tmp/Ta$$ , where $$ is the
process ID of tmconfig. Therefore, your script
appends to s1 but leaves the file actually used by tmconfig unchanged,
resulting in an error since the name, group, and ID of the new server have
been left unspecified.
Try setting EDITOR=vi and adding the fields manually to add your server.
If you will be adding new servers frequently and want to develop a script or
program to do this, an ud32 script or a C program invoking the TM_MIB(5)
interface are probably the easiest ways to do this.

EBS script for counting used licenses

Hello,
I'm looking for a script to execute on the database aimed at telling me how many licenses are actually used on my EBS.
As part of an internal audit on licenses, I need to compare what we use in EBS with what we have bought.
Concerning what we have bought, I have all the contracts.
Concerning what we use, i'm looking for a method to determine the exact count.
Ideally, I was wondering if a database script could exist, regarding that all users, employees and so on are stored in the EBS database.
I was also wondering if a documentation exists.
Many thanks.

Script for printing changed pages only

Does anyone know of a script that will allow the printing of only those pages that have had changes made to them since a previous save? I'm a typesetter doing work only on books and journals and sometimes it's a bit tedious to keep track of the individual pages one works on. thanks,

Ok,
Here is a raw code. All you need to do is edit the script to specify the printer preset you want to use. I don't have a printer my self to debug but I think it should work.
Here is the idml to grab the object styles. Don't forget to apply on objects located onto the pasteboard. The script look for these objects and grab the page name next to them to finally print these pages.
Hope it helps,
Loic

Script for printing

I have written a small script which checks ink levels in my printer and writes them to a file for later checking. I would like it to automatically run when my computer shuts down, regardless of what desktop environment I am in. What would be the best way of doing this?

Use /etc/rc.local.shutdown.

A PDF keeps vector objects as vector, and thus resolution independent. Only if you have raster effects (drop shadows, gradients, or the like) would you need to worry about things like Press Quality -- though if you will be using PDFs much at all, it is a good idea to get into the habit of using the Press Quality setting for final output.
Yup... and the default Illustrator also keeps the resolution of the ai file. (Caveat... you'd probably have to have created the file at 300 dpi/ppi???)

Script for calculations using checkboxes in PDF form

I have 7 checkboxes, at least one must be checked, but the user may select all. Each one has a value of 800, therefore selecting all seven would give a total of (800 + 800 + 800 + 800 + 800 + 800 + 800). Selecting only two: (800 + 800), etc.
However, the last checkbox is a 50% discount for students.
I'd like the total to have this formula:
(CheckBox1 + CheckBox2 + CheckBox3 + CheckBox4 + CheckBox5 + CheckBox6 + CheckBox7) = x
If CheckBox8 is selected, then x/2.
I've done (CheckBox1 + CheckBox2 + CheckBox3 + CheckBox4 + CheckBox5 + CheckBox6 + CheckBox7) / CheckBox8
but in this way, I only get a value if the CheckBox8 discount is selected. Not everyone will be a student.
Excel, Access, no problem, but I'm new to javascript and pdf forms. Any suggestions?
Isabel

Two things about Acrobat JavaScirpt and forms you should be aware of:
1. Check boxes and radio boxes have a string value of "Off" when there is no selection is made for the field or a field within an exclusionary group of fields, fields with the same name but different export values.
2. One can not divide by zero and expect a reasonable answer. You will get a string returned with a value of "NaN' (Not a Number), "Infinity", or "-Infinity". Those values maybe number types but the numeric field type can not display them and reports a format error. You can check this by setting the field format to 'None'.
