Accesing margins from javascript console

Hi,
Is there any way to access margins parameters from the javascript console for Acrobat X Standard or Execute a pre saved config (see image )
Can you show me a sample?

I just have started a new descussion here (adobe reader forum).
If anyone could help me, feel free to do so!
my configuration:
windows xp pro
adobe reader x
adobe livecycle designer 9 ( therefore it is not an version 8 issue )
admin rights on the pc ; )
I might add that you are not alone!
I am having the same problem (LSD ES2 (version 9.0.0....) and Adobe Reader X and Acrobat Professional 8)
Whenever I save a form as PDF and open it with Reader or Acrobat I get to see the console.
But never when I view the form in Designer preview!
That used to work until I installed Reader X.
Same as you I checked all configurations in Reader and Acrobat: all perfect.
I really do hope that someone finds a solution for this.
PS. This problem should be discussed in THIS forum. It is clearly a Designer problem!

[JS, CS5] Strange output in javascript console, from extractLabel

I get a lot of empty CData in the javascript console, if I write out the result from extractLable('anynonexistinglabel').
I use this code:
var allPgItems = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;
for (var i = 0; i <=allPgItems.length-1; i++){
var currentItem = allPgItems[i];
$.writeln(currentItem.extractLabel('asdfgh'))
The result:
<![CDATA[

]]><![CDATA[
]]><![CDATA[
]]><![CDATA[
]]><![CDATA[
]]><![CDATA[
]]><![CDATA[
]]><![CDATA[
]]> etc
Is this behaviour repeatable?

Andreas,
met the same bug during developing a script with ESTK v 3.5.1.59 (CS5) using insertLabel() and extractLabel().
After restarting both ESTK and InDesign CS5 (7.0.4), everything was o.k. again.
Empty text frames and empty cells showed:
<![CDATA[
]]>
as selection's contents.
An if(myCell.contents == "") let ESTK loop endlessly.
Glad it's over. At least for a while ;-)

How to get FindAgain & FindPrevious from javascript OR other options

Hi All, I'm trying to use the 'SearchResults -> Next Hit [Old] 'SearchSubmenu -> FindAgain' [New]
Out of all these: Find | FindSearch | SearchSubmenu | FindAgain | FindPrevious
Only 'Find' and 'FindSearch' works from javascript - None of others worked on Adobe 9 Pro:
For example: app.execMenuItem("FindAgain") did not work and no errors on debugger,
Please let me know, how I will be able to get to the next search item and previous search item from app.execMenuItem
I even tried these two to include with priv restrictions: app.beginPriv(); app.execMenuItem("FindAgain"); app.endPriv();
========================================================================================
I'm attaching the zip file that contains the two required files to view a pdf in a browser through html.
History: I'm working on this to help a old aged home where they have touch screens and it is very difficult for some to identify a pdf tool bar buttons or use their pdf's efficiently.
So, I was thinking about it for over six months and started two weeks back to really help them. Though I did not expect that it is going to make me purchase pdf 9 pro. I did. But, even after that with all these hours working on this, I could not get this working.
I got few samples from Jeff's: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/ajax/quickstart/scripting_pdf.html
I did use these files and trying to get that only feature which is 'Find Next' and 'Find Previous'. In fact tried almost all 'AcroSrch..... es
In the html, I have hard coded a search string 'lorem' with #search=lorem..., I plan to get a new search string from other html page. I will do it later.
As per Jeff, I had that 'Edit java Script' inlcuded in the pdf file.
If you get a chance please check the attachment. (Open test.html in the browser)
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY IN THIS WHOLE WORLD TO GET THIS 'FIND NEXT' and 'FIND PREVIOUS' to work? OR ANY OTHER IDEAS THAT WOULD GET THIS WORKING. THANKS A LOT. OR ATLEAST IN OLDER VERSIONS, IF POSSIBLE, ANY IDEAS THAT WOULD BE MOST WELCOME
========================================================================================
if you can think of any ideas which can make this happen, it can be any even to buy some additional software or option to add some buttons in pdf itself that can do the job or sending the keyboard shortcuts commands like 'Ctrl+G' and 'Shift+Ctrl+G' [which does the same like 'FindNext' 'FindPrevious'] to the pdf object from the html button action would help,

Both app.execMenuItem("FindAgain") and app.execMenuItem("FindPrevious") work just fine in Acrobat 8 Pro (from the console), but only after manually running the Find version once.
Think about it, all that JS does is call these functions. So calling Find from JS will basically not do anything because you can't specify to it what to search for. Even typing the string you want to search for in the "find" field doesn't work.
If you want to find words in a file using a script you will need to use getPageNthWord.

Error while calling applet from Javascript via LiveConnect and WebDriver

Hi all,
I am trying to call applet Java code from Javascript via WebDriver.
Given the following two cases:
- calling a static method: Integer.parseInt("42")- constructing a new object: new String("Hello world")My Javascript code looks like this:
document.appletId.Packages.java.lang.Integer.parseInt("42");
new document.appletId.Packages.java.lang.String("Hello world");When executing this code in Firefox via the Firebug Javascript console everything works fine and I get the expected results. However, when executing this code via the JavascriptExecutor from WebDriver only the call to the static method succeeds, the construction of the new object leads to the following error: "Attempt to call a default method on object with no invokeDefault method."
I don't have any idea what is going wrong here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat Reader X / 10 - javascript console problem / crash

Hi,
I develop adobe interactive forms and need javascript console badly!
My system:
Windows XP Prof.
Acrobat Reader 10 (free)
Internet Explorer 8
Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 9 (latest version)
The javascript console works just fine if I start an adobe form "native" = with Acrobat Reader X directly.
But if I use Adobe Livecycle Designer (latest version) [the issue also described here], the console just crashes / disappears right after it started.
The same happens if I open the pdf-file (adobe interactive form) with Internet Explorer.
E.G:
- When using Acrobat Reader "native":
console will open up on javascript syntax errors or by klicking a button ( javascript = console.show(); )
- When using Internet Explorer or Adobe Livecycle Designer:
the same pdf file cannot view the javascript console. it just "disappears immideatly" / crashes
There is any technical support for Acrobat Reader expect this forum - so I was told when I called adobe hotline.
I hope anyone could actually help me here.

Hi,
Don't open the console just the reader application. and then open the console from your script as you do.
I have noticed in the past that sometimes the console appears for a very short period of time and then vanishes and this appears to be caused by the console window being associated with the open Adobe Reader application ( when it has no documents open) rather than the open PDF file in the preview or browser.
Just a thought

Calling1.4.1 signed applet from Javascript causes keyboard/focus problems

Pretty sure there's a JRE bug here, but I'm posting to forums before I open one in case I'm missing something obvious :-)
This issue may be specific to IE, I haven't tested elsewhere yet. Our web application is centered around a signed applet that is initialized with XML data via Javascript. We first noticed the problem when our users started upgrading from the 1.3.x plug-in to the 1.4.x plug-in. The major symptom was that shortcut keys stopped working. I debugged the problem off and on for about a month before I boiled it down to a very simple program that demonstrates the issue (included below). Basically, the program has a function that adds a JButton to a JPanel and registers a keyboard listener (using the new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class) that prints a message to the console. This function is called by the applet's init() method, as well as by a public method that can be called from Javascript (called callMeFromJavascript()). I also included a very simple HTML file that provides a button that calls the callMeFromJavascript() method. You can test this out yourself: To recreate, compile the class below, JAR it up, sign the JAR, and put in the same dir with the HTML file. Load the HTML file in IE 5.0 or greater, and bring the console up in a window right next to it. Now click the button that says init--you should see the small box appear inside the button that indicates it has the focus. Now press some keys on your keyboard. You should see "KEY PRESSED!!!" appearing in the console. This is proper behavior. Now click the Init Applet from Javascript button. It has removed the button called init, and added one called "javascript". Press this button. Notice there is no focus occurring. Now press your keyboard. No keyboard events are registered.
Where is gets interesting is that if you go back and make this an unsigned applet, and try it again, everything works fine. This bug only occurs if the applet is signed.
Furthermore, if you try it in 1.3, signed or unsigned, it also works. So this is almost certainly a 1.4 bug.
Anyone disagree? Better yet, anyone have a workaround? I've tried everything I could think of, including launching a thread from the init() method that sets up the components, and then just waits for the data to be set by Javascript. But it seems that ANY communication between the method called by Javascript and the code originating in init() corrupts something and we don't get keyboard events. This bug is killing my users who are very reliant on their shortcut keys for productivity, and we have a somewhat unique user interface that relies on Javascript for initialization. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I tried adding the requestFocus() line you suggested... Same behavior.
A good thought, but as I mention in my description, the applet has no trouble gaining the focus initially (when init() is called). From what I have seen, it is only when the call stack has been touched by Javascript that I see problems. This is strange though: Your post gave me the idea of popping the whole panel into a JFrame... I tried it, and the keyboard/focus problem went away! It seems to happen only when the component hierarchy is descended from the JApplet's content pane. So that adds yet another variable: JRE 1.4 + Signed + Javascript + components descended from JApplet content pane.
And yes, signed or unsigned DOES seem to make a difference. Don't ask me to explain why, but I have run this little applet through quite a few single variable tests (change one variable and see what happens). The same JAR that can't receive keyboard events when signed, works just fine unsigned. Trust me, I'm just as baffled as you are.

JavaScript Console Problem (only in LS preview mode)

Hello,
my JavaScript console "crashes" in preview-mode in lifecycle designer. It just appears for a "millisecond"´, well I see it flicker at last.
It doesn't matter if there is a syntax error or if I try to start the console by clicking a button ( Event click => console.show(); )
The console just flickers.
If I save the pdf file everything works fine. Console shows up on errors or if it told to do so (e.g. my button is clicked).
I cannot afford to save the pdf-file every time for some reasons (livecycle designer is used in sap gui, I have to run the whole process to get the PDF ...)
By the way, the same problem is present in Livecycle Designer if I use it "native", not called from within the sap.
I have already tried to close the acrobat reader tasks. There are two of them, when adobe reader 10 starts (native or in livecycle-preview).
But by closing one of the tasks, the second one closes, too. Therefore there is no help this way.
I use Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES 8.0 (8.01.2008.1.380548) and Acrobat Reader X (10.0.1)
The PDFs output in LS is set to Acrobat 8 (dynamic)
In Acrobat Reader javascript console/debugger is set as active, as well as to show errors etc.
It might be a problem realted to sap gui.
I just ran the pdf-preview in sap gui. And Console didn't show up again.
I have saved the same document from the sap print-preview on my local hd drive. Then started it with adobe reader and everything worked just fine.
Please do not blame sap only. As I have told before: the same problem occurs if I use livecycle designer "native", not within sap gui

Applet function call from javascript

Hi,
I'm haveing a problem with accesing applet's functions from Javascript in Mozilla. IE works fine but in Mozilla I get the following error:
Error: document.applets[0] has no properties
The code used is: document.applets[0].test();
The applet has the following 2 tags defined, I don't know if they are necessary here but I'm doing the reverse too (applet functions call javascript).
<PARAM name="MAYSCRIPT" value="Y">
<PARAM name="SCRIPTABLE" value="Y">
If you have any ideea please help.
Thanks

in javascript try document.getElementById("idOfTheApplet")
use object tag instead of applet tag:
     <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
              height="300" width="450" >
        <param name="code" value="appTest.class" />
        
        <object classid="java:appTest.class"

Recursive setTimeout becomes inactive through JavaScript console

Hi,
I'm using setTimeout() recursively in functions which stops working completely as soon as I trigger an alert-box (alert()) from the JavaScript console. Calling alert() from the document's code itself does not have this effect. Refreshing the site F5 or hard refresh Ctrl+F5 reloads the page but doesn't start the timers. The only way to restore the site completely and get setTimeout() to work again is to close and open the tab or browser again. This seems to be a bug, I think. I'm using Firefox 15.0.1 on Win 7 64-bit.
See example below. The code below keeps displaying the time in the window's title after clicking the button. If you execute "alert('');" from the JavaScript console instead, it stops all setTimeout() functions and does not reactivate them even if you reload the page.
Edit: Sorry, heres the code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function init()
callself();
function callself()
var now = new Date();
document.title = now.toLocaleString();
setTimeout("callself()", 100);
</script>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:init();">
<button onclick="javascript: alert('');">click me</button>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for the info! Very useful to not become crazy while debugging it

Enabling javascript console?

I read the instructions here:
http://blog.deconcept.com/2005/07/28/safaris-hidden-debug-menu/
and I opened the Terminal (Macintosh HD>Applications>Utilities>Terminal). The Terminal window displayed:
Last login: Tue Feb 6 13:54:51 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
<user info here>$
I then pasted in the command:
<user info here>$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
and hit return. The Terminal window displayed:
<user info here>$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
<user info here>$
The instructions say:
Now the next time you start Safari, you’ll have an extra menu up top called “Debug” and inside are all kinds of goodies.
I then closed down Safari and relaunched it, but I can't find a Debug menu item. I'm using Safari 2.0.4, and there is nothing in the Safari Help when I search for "javascript console" or "debug menu".
17" intelimac 2ghz 2gb 250gb Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I then closed down Safari and relaunched it, but I can't find a Debug menu item.
I discovered that I didn't actually close down Safari. I thought closing all the browser windows shut down Safari. However, that is not the case. If you look at the dock and there is a black arrow pointing at the application's icon, then the application is still running. To quit Safari, I right clicked on its icon in the dock and selected Quit from the popup context menu (you can also click on Safari>Quit Safari). Then I relaunched Safari, and voila! the Debug menu item appeared in the menu.
If you want to get rid of the Debug menu item, reopen the terminal and after the $ sign enter the command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0

DEBUGGING - JAVASCRIPT CONSOLE

hello gil, usually after a fresh install firefox asks you to help by submitting performance data to mozilla. this is internally dubbed "[https://blog.mozilla.org/tglek/2011/05/13/firefox-telemetry/ telemetry]", so the error you're seeing is likely linked to this functionality.
according to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732874 bug #732874] this will be fixed in the next version of firefox. in case you want to, you can also disable the gathering & submission of performance data in ''preferences > advanced > general'' for the moment...

Error while accessing a public method of applet from javascript.

Hi,
I am getting "Object doesn't support this property or method" error
when accessing a public method of applet from javascript in IE 6 using
document.applets[0].myMethod();
The same is working in IE 7.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know why it happens, but this works for me in both versions:
<applet ..... name="MyApplet">
</applet>and in javascript use
document.MyApplet.myMethod()

Adding items to a selectOneListbox from Javascript

In my JSF page I have...
<h:form id="alternateDeviceSelectForm">
    <h:selectOneListbox id="selectBox"/>
    <h:commandButton id="okButton" value="#{i18n.ok}" action="#{aBean.anActionMethod}"/>
</h:form>I also have this Javascript...
for (var i=0; i < devices.length; i++) {
    var device = devices;
// a String
var id = device.getId();
// another String
var displayName = device.getDisplayName();
this.selectBox.options[i] = new Option(displayName,id);
This creates the listbox and when the Javascript method fires, the appropriate items are listed in as list items. However, when I hit the OK button, I get a JSF message about a validation error. I'm not using any custom validation at all.
Here's the error message I get... "alternateDeviceSelectForm:selectBox: Validation Error: Value is not valid"
Any ideas on how I can get this working? (I have to get the listbox item values from Javascript because that is the interface to a browser plugin that is involved in this process.)

the only thing is there is no data to begin with. after you choose the data structure there is a text field to type in something like apple and then you click add. then you can type in something like pear and click add.If you do it right, the part that controls the data structures won't need to directly interact with the part that adds/removes the elements in the data structures -- they'll be independent units. That's what we call "orthogonal", and it helps make programs much easier to develop and maintain. To do that, you have a common set of add/remove operations across all data structures -- just like in the Collections framework, which you should use unless your teacher is telling you that you must make your own. (And even if you do, ask your teacher if you can use the interfaces from the Collections framework, if not the implementations.)
The example I showed you supports that, in that it doesn't assume that the data structures initially contain any data. (Though it might be better to create empty Collections in your constructor, rather than ever letting existingCollection go null.
