Setting client acrobat resolution settings via javascript?

hi,
i have this long lasting problem with acrobat since cs2/cs3.
we use pdfs as container format for our screen design presentations. our screen designs are 72 ppi bitmaps.
now the problem:
since acrobat cs2/cs3, these images looks blurry in acrobat even in 100% view. this is because acrobat has this new preference setting under "page display" called "resolution". here the default is set to "use system setting", which in my case is 99 ppi.
the result is that our 72 ppi screen designs got interpolated to 99 ppi by acrobat even at 100% view. since most users have different system settings, there is no way to control the appearance of our 72 ppi bitmaps.
do you guys know of a way to circumvent this problem?
one way i can think of is to use javascript to set the clients acrobat software to "custom resolution" with 72 ppi. but i have no idea how to do that.
any ideas?
best regards,
marc

Acrobat 6 add the application object 'monitors' method and the 'Monitor' object with a number of properties. See Finding user screen resolution with JavaScript by Chris Dahl for instruction and an example of how to use this method and object.

How can I set Illustrator CS5 color settings using Javascript?

I can set Photoshop color settings with the app.colorsettings ('File') in javascript, but I cannot locate an object in Illustrator that would perform the same task. I can only find readonly objects for illustrator. I would like to have illustrator read a script file to set the color setting
upon startup.
Thanks

Hi imagecollection, that was kind of true in 2010, color mode was possible to be changed via Actions and vbs or as
Re: Change color space
with CS6 or newer it is more straight forward since js can play actions, and even easier using executeMenuCommand...however I'm not sure if the OP needs to change color mode or if he wants to load color profiles.

How to get elements in a multi-value field via javascript?

The following will set variables.variable1 to variables.variable2 when the "Script Link" component is clicked...
<Field>
<Display class='Javascript'>
<String>
function myScript() {
el=getElement(document.mainform,"variables.variable1");
el2=getElement(document.mainform,"variables.variable2");
el.value=el2.value;

My issue is, if variables.variabl2 is a list / multivalued, i get errors trying to traverse through the "array".
How can i read and set an a list element via javascript function above? I've tried things like get() , and variables.variable2[0] .
any help would be appreciated....
is there an API somewhere i can reference?

Hi,
thanks for your reply!
If I have the parameters in the URL and use the method GET it works all right.
but I need the method to be POST. I suppose, I have the wrong way identifying the parameter name
This is from VB
varTarget = "http://localhost:9090/gm/getData" ' getData is my servlet
xmlSendStr = "SQLStmt=SELECT TCPD_Cars.* From TCPD_Cars WHERE (((TCPD_Cars.CarIdent)=45));"
    xmlHttp.Open "POST", varTarget, True   'True means asynchronous
    xmlHttp.Send xmlSendStrthis is part of my Servlet
     protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
               throws ServletException, IOException {
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();
          String SQLStmt = request.getParameter("SQLStmt") ;
        //make the database query and get the returns
        writer.println(GetSQLData(SQLStmt));
        //close the write
        writer.close();
     }I would appreciate any suggestions

Changing Hyperlink Settings via JS

Hi there,
i have a bunch of InDesign CS3 documents where i need to change the zoom-setting for all hyperlinks.
how can i access the zoom-setting of all selected hyperlinks via javascript and set it to "fit to window".
i hope someone can point me to the right direction here.
cheers,
christian

yes, sorry. here we go:
doc = app.activeDocument;
var hyLinkPAGE=doc.hyperlinkPageDestinations;
for(var p=0; p < hyLinkPAGE.length; p++)
hyLinkPAGE[p].viewSetting=HyperlinkDestinationPageSetting.FIT_WINDOW;

Copy/Capture Adjustment Layer settings using Javascript

Hi,
For last couple of days I'm trying to copy adjustment layer settings via Javascript after adjustment layer has been already created.
General idea is to capture adjustment layer settings and save them to JSON file for future preset etc. I was hoping to capture raw data ( getData(stringIDToTypeID('legacyContentData'))) and store it in JSON file base64 encoded.
I'm able to capture raw data but I'm not able to restore it to the adjustment layer using putData or something similar.
Capture raw data of adjustment layer:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var layer = doc.activeLayer;
ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt"));
var desc = executeActionGet(ref).getList(stringIDToTypeID('adjustment')).getObjectValue(0);
rawData = desc.getData(stringIDToTypeID('legacyContentData'));
Trying to restore raw data:
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putEnumerated(cTID('AdjL'), cTID('Ordn'), cTID('Trgt'));
        desc.putReference(cTID('null'), ref);
        aldesc = new ActionDescriptor();
        aldesc.putEnumerated(sTID("presetKind"), sTID("presetKindType"), sTID("presetKindCustom"));
        var list1 = new ActionList();
// Not sure what to do here ...
        aldesc.putList(cTID('Adjs'), list1);
        desc.putObject(cTID('T   '), id, aldesc);
        executeAction(cTID('setd'), desc, mode);
If I'm using above code with code generated by i.e. script listener or action translated into javascript it works (at least for curves), but I'd rather use getData/putData so I can capture already created adjustment layers with out need to code each layer separately. toStream and fromStream also would work, but I wasn't able to restore data using these methods too.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies you guys. It's not hardware related Mylenium. My machine was purpose built for AE work and this is a very simple comp that is nothing remotely as intensive as some of the truly complex and effects ladened projects I've done before. It's even simpler than the one in the same project where the other adjustment layer is working properly. The layer is going white before an effect is even being added, so it's not that. I'll double check the OpenGL when I can get back on my machine in a bit, but I never changed anything before changing comps, so I don't think that's it.
I'm guessing that it is probably related to the layer settings itself. There's no 3D layers so it's not that Dave. I'm going to check Rick's idea when I can because the white solid behavior sounds exactly what he is talking about.

Are you using a Microsoft or Apache web server? If so, you can submit to a server-side script, which will bypass web mail and client-side email software such as OUTLOOK.

Setting IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file

I am currently in need of a way to set IIS W3C Extended Log File settings via command line, registry or configuration file. More specifically the 'Bytes Sent (sc-bytes)' and 'Bytes Received (cs-bytes)' settings that are not enabled by default.
If anyone knows where I can locate these setting (outside of the GUI) for all IIS versions that would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I have found a valid solution. You must have the WebAdministration module loaded. I hope this helps someone.
Use the following syntax to view current W3C fields:
Get-WebConfiguration -filter system.applicationhost/sites/sitedefaults/logfile | select-object -expandProperty logExtFileFlags
Use the following syntax to set W3C fields:
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter System.Applicationhost/Sites/SiteDefaults/logfile -Name LogExtFileFlags -Value "Date,Time,ClientIP,UserName,SiteName,ComputerName,ServerIP,Method,UriStem,UriQuery,HttpStatus,Win32Status,BytesSent,BytesRecv,TimeTaken,ServerPort,UserAgent,Cookie,Referer,ProtocolVersion,Host,HttpSubStatus"}

Setting the Color Settings (Illustrator - Javascript)

I would like to set the right color settings file using a startupscript in Javascript.
If the name of the color settings file to be set is "myColorsettings", I assumed this line should do the job:
app.loadColorSettings ('myColorSettings')
But it returns an error. What's wrong?
The manuals tells me:
app.loadColorSettings (filespec)
Thanks,
Peter

Peter, I would expect that 'filespec' needs to be a 'file object' created with a string to the full location & name of file… Some thing like…
var filespec = new File('/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Recommended/Europe Prepress.csf');
alert(filespec.exists);
Sorry I don't have a version that supports this for me to test. Check for the existance of the target file then load… Oh my example was on my mac your OS may differ…?

Set Word 2013 Track Changes settings via Registry edits or Group Policy?

Hi
Would anyone know if there is a way of changing Track Changes settings via registry edits or Group Policy (e.g. changing Simple Markup All Markup)? I've had a look in Group Policy Admin Templates and the Registry but cant see relevant
Thanks!

Hi,
The All Markup/Simple Markup selection is controlled by the RevModeShowSimpleMarkup value within the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options
The value is 0 (zero) for All Markup or 1 (one) for Simple Markup.
If we close all Word instances, and change the value to 1, then start Word, the All Markup option should be selected.
In addition, some track change settings can also be controlled by the GPO settings in the following location:
Administrative Templates > Microsoft Word 2013 > Word Options > Track changes and compare
If you still need further assistance on this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Regards,
Steve Fan

How can I add a watermark via JavaScript that includes the current datestamp?

Part of my daily work process here is to scan in a huge stack of inbound mail. I then OCR the scans, delete the blank pages, and add a watermark. I've got a batch process set up for the first two steps, but I can't make a watermark for the datestamp itself and need to do so via JavaScript, but I have a luddite-level understanding of it.
As of right now, these are my settings I'm using to add the datestamp:
What I want to do is run a script to do the same thing and insert the current date where I have mm-dd-yy currently, but I don't have the first clue of where to start. Any help you could offer would be hugely appreciated

You can use the doc.addWatermarkFromText() method as a JavaScript step in an Action.
for example
var dt = new Date();
var stoday = (dt.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + dt.getDate() + '-' + dt.getFullYear();
this.addWatermarkFromText({
cText: "Deposit\r" + stoday,
nTextAlign: app.constants.align.right,
nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.right,
nVertAlign: app.constants.align.top,
nHorizValue: -72, nVertValue: -72
See the SDK Help files for information on what all the parameters do.

Apply watermark and then apply Flattener Preview via JavaScript

Hello all,
I have a bunch of PDF files which were generated from InDesign.
Currently I am applying a watermark to all the PDFs in Acrobat XI and then a flattener preview to all of the PDFs manually one PDF at a time.
I want to make a script which does all this.
I also tried the Action panel, but it didn't automate the flattener preview part.
I am comfortable with JavaScript and scripting in general.
Any help or a pointer to resources will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards.

Thanks for replying.
The flattener preview is located under "Print Production" panel. Where one can configure the text flattening options, among many other settings.
I want to flatten the text (convert it to outlines) via JavaScript as you have suggested.
Please suggest any sample code.
Thanks and regards.
