Actions are broken in Illustrator CC!

Since upgrading to Illustrator CC, my actions haven't been working right. All the details from certain steps are completely gone. For example, if a step involved rotating the selection by 90°, the "Rotate" step will still be there, but there is no longer a disclosure arrow next to it with the value of 90°. Also, the Fkey that was previously bound to the action has been removed.
I have another action that selects all shapes with a similar fill and stroke, and the "Select Similar" step is still there, but again, the disclosure arrow is gone that included the information of "Fill & Stroke". Also, the Fkey associated with that action is gone as well.
When I restore my actions from a saved copy, they are retained from file to file, but once I quit Illustrator and reopen it, the actions break again.

Hi, today I came upon the same problem (on PC, Mac works fine), I had this weird behaviour in disappearing paths to my 'open file' actions. I made a lot of actions for opening specific files and set the actions to the Button Mode. Therefore I deleted the Default Actions since I never ever use them and I don't want to see all that buttons in my interface.
What solved my problem of the disappearing paths: not to delete or move the Default Actions-set, just manually delete all the actions inside the set and leave the empty Default Actions-set where it is, don't drag it down, just don't touch it. I then loaded my own actions again.
Now all my 'open' actions stay intact after restarting Illustrator. No need to reset and reload anything and no unwanted default actions. Maybe this can help others.

How to request - Updating an embedded image in a PDF using Actions but not all actions are recorded

i am trying to create an Action in CS3 but some of my actions are not been recorded.
What i want to do is run the Batch option on a folder with a 1,000 PDFs in it. The PDFs
(which were created in Illustrator CS3) consist of a single page with a single embedded
image at the foot of the page. I am trying to update that embedded image.
The Actions i am trying to record are...
1) Select the single image in the Links palette.
2) Choose the "Relink.." option in the drop down menu of the Links palette.
3) Navigate to the new image and select "Place".
4) Save and close document.
But the first two actions are not been recorded.
How do i get around this problem ?
Note: From trying this manually the new image seems to take on the horizontal and
vertical scaling of the previous image which is what i want. But if i am going to have to
do a script then that is a factor that may have to be incorporated into the script.
Any help appreciated.

Give this a trial… It does a save as which is much safer than overwriting… At least you still have your originals should I get something wrong…? I did test but only with 3 files…
#target illustrator
function replaceImage() {
          var i, doc, fileList, inFolder, outFolder, opts, pic, rep, rip, saveFile, uIL;
          inFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose your Folder of AI PDFs…' );
          outFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Please choose a Folder to save AI PDFs in…' );
          pic = File.openDialog( 'Please choose your replacement Image…' );
          if ( inFolder != null && outFolder != null && pic != null ) {
                    fileList = inFolder.getFiles( /\.pdf$/i );
                    if ( fileList.length > 0 ) {
                              uIL = app.userInteractionLevel;
                              app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
                              for ( i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++ ) {
                                        doc = app.open( fileList[i] );
                                        rip = doc.rasterItems[0].position;
                                        rep = doc.placedItems.add();
                                        rep.file = pic;
                                        rep.move( doc.rasterItems[0], ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE )
                                        rep.position = rip;
                                        rep.resize( 31.414, 31.414, true, true, true, true, 100, Transformation.TOPLEFT );
                                        doc.rasterItems[0].remove();
                                        rep.embed();
                                        opts = new PDFSaveOptions();
                                        opts.pDFPreset = '[Illustrator Default]';
                                        saveFile = File( outFolder + '/' + doc.name );
                                        doc.saveAs( saveFile, opts );
                                        doc.close( SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES );
                              app.userInteractionLevel = uIL;
                    } else {

Linking image files created in Mac are broken on PC and Vice Versa

Hello,
A fellow designer and I are sharing Illustrator files in the office but she is on a Mac and I am on a PC. Our linking image files are located in multiple folders on our company server, but whenever we open each other's files, all the links are broken and have to be relinked due to our different operating platforms. This can be very time consuming since the images are in different folders and there are many of them.
Anybody know how to fix this PC/Mac problem without dropping all the linking files into the same folder as the .ai file? I'm not the IT guy so I don't think that rebuilding our server structure is an option either...would cause too much havoc around the office.
Any help would be appreciated.

Let me ask you something does this sound like a viable way to work?
The way to do it is as you yourself suggest to work locally with all the files in one folder so you cannot break the links and that you know where the art is at all times.
If the IT thinks this is a good way to work then let them create a script to save all linked files to a common live folder for the project so that both computers can find it.
But from what you describe it is just looking for trouble and might be exactly what the IT wants trouble so they can extend their job. In which case ther is no solution.

No manual actions are available

Hi all,
I've implemented two ways to print a smartform from the Portal. The first one is through a scheduled actions area and the other is through a print button on header area. These two buttons worked fine until I upgraded the CRM 4.0 to SP16. Now, print button located on top is not working and when I click on it and I get an error message about "No manual actions are available".
Any idea to solve this problem, please?
Thanks in advance and regards.

Hi,
Check for your Settings in the Action conditions for your Action Defination.
In Path:Customer Relationship Management>Basic Functions>Actions>Actions in Transaction>Define Conditions:
In the "Details of the Selected Processing" for your "Selcted Processing" you have made the settings for Print Option and defined the Printer Selection the Action Execution Interval,
check for these settings weather are Appropriate or not,Also check for the Options Available in the Output device are still available or not and selected ones are Appropriate or not.
Hope it answered your Queries..
Thanks and Regards,
RK.

When converting over to HTTPS and PKI for clients, not all actions are available in configuration manager cpl

I'm not exactly sure which forum heading this should go under so if this isn't correct please let me know or move it on my behalf.
So I am trying to setup Internet Based Client Management in SCCM 2012 R2 and have come across a few articles on how to do so. I think I have mostly gotten it to work but I seem to be having a client issue when deploying new machines. My already
deployed servers seem to have picked up the PKI setting no problem. In the past when I would deploy a new windows client everything would be fine. When i converted over to PKI in my test environment I am now having issues when I go to deploy a
new windows client. I don't get all of the Actions listed in the Configuration Manager control panel. All I have are Discovery Data Collection, Machine Policy Retrieval and Eval, User Policy Retrieval and Eval, and Windows Installer Source list Update
Cycles, before all of them would populate no problem. I have let this machine sit here for several hours and nothing has changed yet. It does say PKI for client certificate. Sometimes when I would deploy new machines it would say NONE for
Client certificate. In my production environment it says self-signed. I have found if i uninstall the client and re-install the client it does populate all of the cycles but I don't understand why it is not working on deployment.
Ok so maybe not all the time that when i reinstall the client it fixes it. I just did an uninstall and reinstall on a test client and all it has under actions are machine and user policy cycles.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I think SCCM client installed before the GPO applied, so you don't a certificate available when it is required.
You can export and import the certificate by using MDT integration, try this blog for PKI part:
How To: Build and Capture in Configuration Manager 2012 using HTTPS
And in addition, you can upload the log to your onedrive so you can share with us.

Excel ActiveX invoke nodes are broken

I am using LabVIEW 2007. We are using a VI that runs on most of the PC's in our facility however on some the "invoke node" related to Excel functions don't operate. They are broken and the VIs won't run. We get errors that the "Invoke Node: contains unwired ro bad terminals". When going to select methods or properties not all of the properties are shown as seen on the functional PCs. Some of the properties are missing from the selection menus, thus making it incompatible.
Has anyone seen this problem and a solution?
Thanks
Manliff,

What about separating the compiled code from the source? I recognize that this will only work in LV2010, but I expect that that will prevent the compiler from breaking activeX code that depends on a different version than the local one...
Testing this idea is on my to-do-list, but I was wondering if anyone has tried it already.

Not all installed fonts are available in Illustrator CS4

Hi,
I've noticed that not all of my fonts are available in Illustrator CS4. My list appears as usual in the drop down menu, but many of my fonts have somehow become incomplete. For instance, only 3 weights of Helvetica are available, instead of the 20 or so I have installed on my Macbook Pro. I use Linotype Fontexplorer, and all of my fonts appear without problems in the browser window, but not in Illustrator.
I've deleted the Adobefontlist file with no result, and I've also tried uninstalling the fonts and reinstalling them with no result. I've had a few searches to see if anyone else has had the same problem, and some people have similar issues but not exactly the same. I've also tried some of the adobe troubleshooting steps with no result.
Any help with this would be gratefully received. Somebody must have experienced the same problem?
Many thanks
Jono

Thanks Jesseham, a good suggestion. All fonts within the families are ticked like you say, and I've just performed a clear out of the caches but still no success I'm afraid.
I've attached a picture of my font list in Illustrator in the hope that someone might see something that I'm not. As you can see from the list, Helvetica Neue LT Std is in the list as Helvetica Neue LT Std 85 Heavy and only has the option of 'Regular' under the font style drop down menu. It should be just Helvetica Neue LT Std in the font list drop down menu and have all of the available weights in the font style drop down menu.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Jono

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, navi and linked images are broken.

Translation from CS5 to Cloud doesn't work correct, <navi> and linked images are broken.
The data of CS5 was created at another PC. I installed Cloud version into two different PC. One has had the site data since dreamweaver CS5 and it works correct in Cloud version. Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.

Another PC got the site data from remote server and it doesn't work correct. <navi> and linked image are broken.
This implies your site is not properly defined in DW. Go to Site > Manage Sites.
Or simply go to your other installation of DW and export the site definition file from Manage Sites.
Save it to a flash stick or other removable drive. Then import the STE file into your 2nd installation of DW.

Some Myanmar characters are broken or replaced on InDesign. I use InDesign CS6/Win8, font is Myanmar text. Please let me know some advice.

Hi,
you would need to file a service request with support and provide a test case for this problem to be analyzed by development. For this you need a support contract. Depending on the JDeveloper version you use, it may be that this old browser hasn't been tested. Also note that with 12c we probably start de-supporting old browsers like this.

V9.0.1 TG4RDB & TG4RMS .pdf documents are broken

The Transparent Gateway for Rdb and RMS .pdf files are broken. The link is located at;
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/gateways/content2.html
The files can be downloaded OK, but when the files are opened with the Acrobat reader,
it reports fixing a broken file, then opens the file. However, all the pages are blank.
The index is present, but there is no data!
Have tried other .pdf files from this page, and they open OK.

Same thing here with Keynote 4.01. Pictures will not display in Adobe Reader.
Preview will display fine. Adobe Photoshop CS3 will also show the pictures correctly. In Adobe Reader 6.0 everything is there, except the pictures. This is true for "exported" PDF's as well as "print as PDF"'s.

Button Actions are not working -invoking task flow from other project regio

Hi
I have a project using a mani.jspx file having a regions and the region is updated with different views based on a router condition in my bounded task flow. Everything working fine with in the project. I have a seperate project in my application having an index.jspx and region in it. I created the ADF lib jar file of the first project and imported to this project. I could invoke the task flow in the first project to the region in the index.jspx file in the seconed project.But none of the action managed bean method attached to the buttons in this view are working.The methods are not getting called on clicking on button and no error in the backend console of Integrated weblogic server.Any body can help what could be the issue ?
Thanks
Suneesh

The issue that is happening when I refreshed the region with task flow from the project I imported.If I load the taskflow from the imported project on first time rendering all my managed bean actions are executing but if I load a different flow initially and change the taskflow Id imported from other project none of the managed actions are working.
Thanks

I have 2 printers HP 6310 all in one with the same problem, the Print Cartridge Door Hinges are broken.
Were can I buy the parts? is it too difficult to change them?
Is it a HP repair services in my area?
Is it any "recall" for this problem? I know same peobles with the same trouble
I thank you for your help
geny

Hi geny,
I understand the cartridge door latch has broken.
I will be happy to help you.
This is a older model so you might not be able to get that part replaced.
I have provided the HP Parts Surfer. It doesn't look like a replaceable part.
If you can get it to connect and tape the door shut so the printer recognizes the door is closed, you might still be able to still use the printer.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a wonderful day!
