Add a watermark, the hard way
Hi.
I've been drooling over the Acrobat 7.0 SDK documentation. It talks about an addWatermarkFromFile() function in JavaScript. You lucky, lucky, lucky people.
I have Acrobat 6.0 (Pro). Ugh. You can add a watermark in the application, but there is no addWatermarkFromFile(). I had thought of using MenuItemExecute to work the menus...
acrApp.MenuItemExecute "COMP:AddBack"
SendKeys "%b"
SendKeys MY_PATH & "MY_FILE.pdf"
SendKeys "{ENTER}"
However, the crafty dialog seems to be modal, ie the code halts at MenuItemExecute and waits for me to dismiss it before executing the SendKeys commands.
Is there a way round this?

On a Mac, in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014, when adding audio to an edit, i get the message "Could not complete your request, because Dynamiclink is not available".
When performing the exact same operation in Adobe Photoshop CC, i can add audio in the same way, no error message. Any ideas to solve this, anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.I tried to update and it keeps telling me to get the Application Manager. And this is what happens
Adobe Application Manager failed and it told me to download the Adobe Support Advisor.
Adobe Support Advisor told me that there was an issue:" cpsid_82829s1: "A restart is pending," bootstrapper error has occurred. "Token Number: 40-87772-063201122012
I followed the instructions it gave me to correct this issue:
If you receive the error "Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again," do the following:
#Restart the computer and try the installation again.
#If the installation fails, delete the InProgress registry key:

Had to reinstall Lion. Backed up my music to an external hard drive. When I plug in my iPod a prompt msg says it's synced w/another iTunes library and asks if I want to "erase and sync" (to what is now an empty library) or "Transfer purchases". Do i "erase and sync" and re-add music from the hard drive once that's done?
You just need to tell iTunes where the library is located. If you want it back on your internal drive, copy the entite iTunes folder. Follow the instructions below.

ichat starts to open, lingers a second, then 'unexpectedly' quits. I'm in Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I can't find the ichat plist in the library, even though I've custom re-installed (even the hard way) and downloaded the latest upgrade. Que pasa?

'Learn Python the Hard Way' book help - PowerShell
There's a book out called 'Learn Python the Hard Way' and it wants to run the exercises in PowerShell, which no one apparently knows much about, I just need to do a couple of simple functions, I just don't know how to do them and I don't
see how online. Here's an excerpt : "
8. You should be back at a prompt similar to what you had before you typed python. If not find out why.
9. Learn how to make a directory in the Terminal. Search online for help.
10. Learn how to change into a directory in the Terminal. Again search online.
11. Use your editor to create a file in this directory. Make the file, “Save” or “Save As...”, and pick this directory.
12. Go back to Terminal using just the keyboard to switch windows. Look it up if you can’t figure it out.
13. Back in Terminal, see if you can list the directory to see your newly created file. Search online for how to list a directory. "
I made a directory in PowerShell but haven't got past that. Any help?I'm sorry you weren't able to get a knowledge level-appropriate response to your question.
The answer you were looking for:
Use the command "cd" (change directory). At the command line type 'cd <directory name>'
So if the name of your file is is called "testdirectory" you would type 'cd testdirectory'
And it's that simple. -
HI
for this prblem i have to make a stack, but i have to program the stack the hard way and cant use any java predetermined stack things so here goes my problem.
I ahve been given this node class
public class Node {
public String data;
public Node next;
public Node(String tag, Node rest) {
data = tag;
next = rest;
} // end of constructor
} // end of class Node
no in the main body of program would it work as a stack if i did the following:
public class Stacking {
private Node top;
public Stacking() {
top = null;
public void pushTag(String startTag) throws TagError {
if(top==null){
top = new Node(StartTag,null)
else {
top.next=new Node(top,null);
top.data = startTag;
many thanks for any help that you can give meHere's something to get you started:public class Stack {
private Node top;
public Stack () {
top = null;
public void push (Object element) {
top = new Node (element, top);
public Object pop () { // throws EmptyStackException
Object element = top.getElement ();
top = top.getNext ();
return element;
public Object peek () { // throws EmptyStackException
return top.getElement ();
private class Node {
private Node next;
private Object element;
public Node (Object element, Node next) {
this.element = element;
this.next = next;
public Object getElement () {
return element;
public Node getNext () {
return next;
public class Test {
public static void main (String[] parameters) {
Stack stack = new Stack ();
stack.push ("1");
stack.push ("2");
System.out.println (stack.pop ());
System.out.println (stack.peek ());
System.out.println (stack.pop ());
}You still need to build the exceptions yourself.
Kind regards,

Learn the Hard Way. Zooming in on video = Major Loss in Hi-Def Resolution?
Hello, I'm doing a job for a friend. Basically a commercial job, but we're amateurs and doing it alone.
We used a high-end Panasonic camera with a P2 card. It recorded at 30 fps and at 720p.
I did all the editing, then compressed it for the iPad. Looks okay... BUT.
BUT. I original shot from a few feet back extra to stop the actors from going out of frame. Then I zoomed in a little in editing using the "Image and Wireframe" option.
I'm noticing the zoomed in shots look a little grainy. At first I thought this was my video card (don't laugh, but I'm using a white macbook). Now I'm realizing that it's the zooming in that's causing the graininess, as the shots were I didn't zoom in look crystal clear high-def.
Is there anything I can do? I thought using the P2 Card would have such high resolution I'd be able to zoom in just fine. I guess this is learning the hard way? Next time, should I just mentally let go of the "Image and Wireframe" option as it's going to be a different quality than the other shots?
Thanks guys. We might have to reshoot this whole thing.Yeah, you should render it out before giving up all hope.
That said, if you zoom by a factor of 2, your 720 becomes 360.
That's less resolution that SD! So it all depends +how much+ you zoom.
Maybe you can zoom in a bit less, and it'll look passable.
Sometimes I shoot at 1080p if I know I'll need to zoom +a little+
or use a smoothcam function, so I'll have decent resolution at 720p. -
What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections? I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).
Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
"1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
Also in those reviews:
" Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
Personally I only deal with OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
As far as value for price:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
500 GB for $130.
However as far as reliability is concerned:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable. -
Uninstalling iTunes the hard way?
I installed iTunes in my external hard drive which has done some weird stuff which changed its letter from G to I, and now it will not longer recognize itself, so now I have to uninstall it, but it won't allow me...
The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required.
The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder.
So the only way I could think of to pull this off is to uninstall and reinstall the very hard way, which leads to my question... is there a hard way of uninstalling it?I installed iTunes in my external hard drive which has done some weird stuff which changed its letter from G to I
do you get any joy with launching itunes again if you change the drive letter of the external back to G?
although the following document deals with changing ipod drive letters, the same techniques can apply to changing other drive letters:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear -
The only way I got Yosemite to Work.... the Hard way
I think I have tried every suggestion in the support forum to get my Yosemite running on my 2013 15" MBP from Mavericks. Everything I tried ended up with a black screen with a white circle with a slash. Tried the upgrade way, upgrade with safe boot, upgrade with verbose boot. I cleaned up the MBP, fixed all permissions, ran Disk warrior AND Diskutility first aid.
I then tried a clean install by creating a boot disc on a USB drive. Erased the MBP SSD. That did work and I had a working Yosemite but none of my stuff on it. So I did migration assistant. Black screen with white slashed circle.
Oh also tried the trim enabler someone suggested.
So I went back and did another clean install to the working yosemite and use shared drives to move music, videos, and photos over to Itunes and Aperture. Loaded new programs not on app store. downloaded programs from App store.
Everything is working now. But it took about 80 hrs of working and waiting (mostly waiting). Never had a problem like this before. Evidently there was something on my MBP in the applications, or settings or something that Yosemite did not like.
The good news is that my MBP is pretty lean now compared to the previous set up that had lots and lots of little apps that I had tried and stopped using but never removed complete with applications, application support, and application prefs.
So if you are having problems you can do this brute force clean install and it should work.Hi Idreier,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
Hopefully this helps! -
Quick paragraph style application transformation ... or reverse engineering a document the hard way?
Hi everyone,
I'm using Indesign 5.5 for Windows and have inherited a technical document with no styling applied (not even text threads or auto-pagination), but all the fonts are in the correct sizes and colours. So it looks ok in print, but trying to actually do anything with it is a nightmare. For obvious reasons I WANT to apply paragraph styles to the document so I can generate a new auto-updating TOC, maintain and add to it, and all the other good stuff that means.
My question is this - is my only choice to go through page by page and apply new styles (matching their current appearence) to every different heading and bullet point, or is there a nice easy way (or script) that i can use to whizz through the document for me, neatly applying a new style to each different font variety or element it finds (not altering their appearence) and leaving me with a nice list of styles I can rename (then take all the credit for? ha!) Basically take a document that's already been put together wrong, and make it right? I think this might've been imported into InDesign from something like Quark, hence the state it's in, but I don't have access to anything but this version. Any help you could offer would be great. Oh, and if (as I suspect) my only option is indeed to apply all the styles manually one line at a time, then feel free to point and laugh, I doubtless deserve it.
Thanks!
PhilIf you need to reproduce the existing page layouts, I'd suggest you read up more on what paragraph styles can do, before annihilating whatever layout and flow behaviors have been stuck on the content. For example, if level "X" headings always start at the top of a text frame, or top of a page, or even top of a right page, or top of a left page, a paragraph style property can do this. So you'd want to create and apply a paragraph that does this to those paragraphs before you thread text frames; the top of <whatever> frame paragraph property will keep the paragraphs in place.
It is possible to create paragraph styles with properties that behave crazily when they do what you define for them. For example, you can define a paragraph style that sets the style of the paragraph that's created when you press Enter/Return. You can also use the smartness built into the Next Style property. If a paragraph style, say Head1 is defined to create a new paragraph when you press Enter/Return, it can also apply its next style property to the paragraph follows Head1 in the same text selection. So, if you select a paragraph that's supposed to become Head1 (which defines its next style as BodyAfterHead1) and also select the paragraph that follows it, and then hold down Ctrl+Click on the Head1 style's name in the Paragraph Styles panel, Apply "Head1" then Next Style appears. If BodyAfterHead1 defines Body as its next style, and more than two consecutive paragraphs are selected, Head1 will be applied to the first paragraph, BodyAfterHead1 will be applied to the second paragraph, and Body will be applied to the third and following paragraphs.
So, you'll be investing in setting up the Next Style property for paragraph styles, and selecting as many consecutive paragraphs as needed for applying a pattern of styles that agrees with your next style definitions. Each time you use this feature, you're collecting benefits from your investment.
If you need to reproduce the look of the layout on some number of pages, you could export to PDF and use a script to efficiently place each page of a multi-page PDF on a "PDF layer" you create, that appears on every document page in the ID document, lock and move the layer below the active document layer, and use it as a placement underlay.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign apply style and next style," "InDesign place multipage pdf script," "InDesign installing and using scripts," "InDesign paragraph style keep options," and "InDesign start paragraph options," without quotes, for informative links to anywhere on the Web, as well as on these Adobe forums.

SPF and altsrchost the hard way
Just wanted to share my expierence in getting into the world of SPF and altsrchost to help prevent someone else from hitting the potholes I did and to ask a question.
Situation:
We just recently deployed a TXT record on our public DNS to begin the setup of making our e-mail pass SPF verification. Originally I was told to setup a TXT record for a different project. Not knowing anything about SPF we set it up. Long story short, it was a SPF1 entry and caused some SMTP servers to reject our e-mail because our IronPort appliances were not included in the entry. To begin troubleshooting it I added MX to the SPF1 entry and did some testing of the entry and all was well, so I thought. Turns out our IronPort appliances are using all public interfaces to deliver e-mail for this domain. No problem, I had read about the altsrchost functionality and thought that it was perfect for setting IronPort to route e-mail from this domain only using the interfaces that are also setup as MX. Wrong, once I set altsrchost to say only use these two public interfaces our IronPort appliances could not deliver e-mail that is sent from that domain from other internal systems back to our internal messaging system, because I just told it to only use these two public interfaces. So, I cleared out the altsrchost and mail flow was fixed. I did have a few hundred e-mails stuck in the queue that would not deliver because they were trying to still use that public interface (stuck in a queue or something). I did get that cleaned up by just bouncing the e-mail, could not figure out a way to get it to not want to use only a public interface.
Question:
How can I get IronPort to only use specified interfaces to deliver e-mail on the public side but still allow it to use the private interfaces to deliver e-mail to our internal messaging system when it needs to? The altsrchost command appears to only allow me to specify one interface.
We have two C660s running in a cluster.
Jason MeyerHi Jason,
You can use more than one alt-src-host action using filters. Please check the filter below.
if (recv-listener == 'OutboundMail' and rcpt-to == 'internaldomain\\.com')
alt-src-host('inbound1');
else
alt-src-host('outbound1');
You can add more filters with different conditions in case you want to use more than one interfaces.
We will be able to assist you better if you open support ticket and provide us your configuration along with your requirements.
Thanks,

Learning the hard way you should back up your iphone!
Hey everyone,
I dropped my iphone 5 in the bathtub, needless to say it no longer works. I can switch it on and off but the screen stays blank. My computer does not register when i try to plug it in. If I take it into an apple store is there any way they will be able to get my photos off the phone for me despite it not working?
Thanks a lot.likely no
try putting it in an open bowl of rice on the radiator or heated bathroom floor for 48hours to see if being died out will make it work a bit more you may get lucky

In order to find the location of a substring in a string I tend to use this method:
set ptrFind to (offset of "get in "target" as string)
this results in ptrFind = 3
However, I'm at a loss when it gets more complex like when I want to find the location of the second "get" in the string "to get to the target".
Any suggestions?Once you have found the first offset, you can use that as the beginning of the text to get your other offset. From there, to get the offset into the original string, you just have to add the original item back in (plus a correction factor for changing the starting point):
set Target to "let us proceed to get another get"
set SubString to "get"
set FirstOffset to offset of SubString in Target -- the first item
log result
get offset of SubString in (text (FirstOffset + (count SubString)) thru -1 of Target)
set SecondOffset to result + FirstOffset + (count SubString) - 1 -- the second item
log result
I also have a handler that gets all of the offsets and returns them in a list:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run -- example
set TheText to "this is some testing text, some testing text this is"
set TheItem to "is"
set TheOffsets to (GetTheOffsets of TheItem from TheText)
-- show the result
set the beginning of TheOffsets to "The offsets of \"" & TheItem & "\":"
set the beginning of TheOffsets to "The text: \"" & TheText & "\""
choose from list TheOffsets with prompt "Search results:" with empty selection allowed
end run
to GetTheOffsets of SomeItem from SomeText
return a list of all offsets of SomeItem in SomeText
parameters - SomeItem [text]: the text to look for
SomeText [text]: the text to look in
returns [list]: a list of offset(s) - {} if none found
set {OffsetList, OffsetCount} to {{}, 1}
repeat
set TheOffset to (offset of SomeItem in (text OffsetCount thru -1 of SomeText))
if TheOffset is less than 1 then
exit repeat
else
set OffsetCount to OffsetCount + TheOffset
set end of OffsetList to OffsetCount - 1
end if
end repeat
return OffsetList
end GetTheOffsets
</pre>
