Add lines to PDF script using cs2?

Hell all,
I've imported a PDF film script into Photoshop CS2 with the intent of adding lines and such to the script (part of lining a script and script breakdown). I was wondering what the best method is for adding lines. I've done some research and checked the help section, but haven't turned up a clear answer/preferred method. Any advice?
Oh, also. When I load the PDF I am prompted to select a specific page. Once I do so that prompt disappears. After I'm finished altering a page how do I select a new page?
Thanks!

Photoshop is not the ideal tool for this. Photoshop is rasterizing the type, making your output file larger, and making your type lower in quality.
You would do better to open the script in Acrobat, exporting to an editable filetype (RTF, DOC) and then edit in a word processor.

Can i add watermarks to PDF files using the PDF Pack?

Can i add watermarks to PDF files using the PDF Pack?

Hi Susannah,
Adobe PDF Pack does not allow you to edit a PDF file. For that, you would need Acrobat. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days: see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

Add bookmarks to pdf file using Excel VBA

Good morning -
I have, through internet searches, created an Excel macro that prints numerous workbooks to pdf, combines them into one file and prints that file. I have been searching for the last piece, which is adding bookmarks, but have not had any luck getting any of it to work. The following is the code that I am using to add the bookmarks -
Dim avdoc, pddoc, app As Object
Dim stFile As String
Dim btitle As Boolean
Dim PDBookmark As CAcroPDBookmark
stFile = "D:\Test\Test.pdf"
Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.app")
Set avdoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Set pddoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
pddoc.Open stFile
Set avdoc = pddoc.OpenAVDoc(stFile)
Set PDBookmark = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDBookmark", "")
app.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")
btitle = PDBookmark.SetTitle("Test Bookmark")
This code does insert a bookmark on the first page of the document. The bookmark title displays as Untitled instead of Test Bookmark as the code states. Can someone answer the following questions -
1. Why is the code not changing the bookmark from Untitled to Test Bookmark, and
2. How would I nodify the above code to go to a certain page then enter the bookmark.
All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Good morning Reinhard -
Thanks you very much for the help. I implemented as follows:
1. app.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")
btitle = PDBookmark.GetByTitle(pddoc, "Untitled")
btitle = PDBookmark.SetTitle("Total Accessories / Hardgoods")
I added the "btitle =" due to it erroring out. However, when I step through the code and get to that line, I get the "Excel has encountered an error and needs to close" error. Is there a reference that I'm missing that you know of?
2. I was able to find the code to get to a specific page number and it is working great.
Thanks again for all of your assistance.

Lines in PDFs from AI CS2

Ever since we switched to CS2 over 2 and half years ago we've had problems with PDFs out of AI. We have to embed all images otherwise there are lines that run across the pdf pages. Embedding solves the problem but its time consuming on some jobs especially if these are then placed in InDesign. Not to mention file sizes after embedding images as well.
Is there any other quick fix for this problem - a check box I'm forgetting. Or is this just a bug in AI CS2?
Has this been fixed in AI CS3
Thank you,
Christopher

This often happens when you make pdfs straight from Illustrator.
Dunno why.
The lines will be even more apparent if you have rotated the images.
It's best to make eps files and then use Distiller to make the pdfs.
Try this method and see if it works better for you.

I am trying to create a PDF document that calculates Gains and Losses in Mutual Funds. The calculation scripts are repetitive from line to line. The scripts work well until I reach the line 32. Although I am using the same script as the fields above in the columm, the script eventually stops calculating and I can't figure out why. Is there a limit of how many calculation scripts you can enter? I will attempt to attach my pdf as soon as I figure out how. Thanks.

For e31 :
var e30 = +getField("e30").value ;
var c31 = +getField("c31").value ;
if ( (e30 !== 0) && (c31 !== 0) ) event.value = e30 + c31 ;
else event.value = "";
for e32 :
var e31 = +getField("e31").value ;
var c32 = +getField("c32").value ;
if ( (e31 !== 0) && (c32 !== 0) ) event.value = e31 + c32 ;
else event.value = "";
for e33 :
var e32 = +getField("e32").value ;
var c33 = +getField("c33").value ;
if ( (e32 !== 0) && (c33 !== 0) ) event.value = e32 + c33 ;
else event.value = "";
Java console doesn't show any error... That's why I am wondering if it's not a limitation issue... or memory issue, because they are maybe too many rows or something....
The c value is not calculated.

Prepend 2 lines to an existing shell script using java

Hi:
I have a shell script such as
#!/bin/sh
#author ...
#goal ...
set CMDARGS = ...
Now, I need to add 2 lines to this file before the set command so that the script looks like
#!/bin/sh
#author ...
#goal ...
Line 1
Line 2
set CMDARGS = ...
Essentially, Line 1 will be the first line of the script after the comments. How can I do this using File IO in java 1.5?
Thanks.

There no special I/O methods to insert lines into the middle of a file.
I would do the obvious:
1. Read from a BufferedReader
2. Open a temporary file and write to a BufferedWriter,
inserting the new lines where they should go.
3. Delete the original file and rename the new one to take its place.

CS2 Indesign doc - Tables have uneven thick and thin lines - made PDF - on screen some white out

Using CS2 Indesign. Doc about 100 pages with numerous tables. The lines inside the tables is uneven although I have changed the stroke size to be consistent. Once it was made into a PDF Acrobat 9 it looked much worse on screen. Uneven lines and some lines actually whited out. Really out of time trying for a solution - with an important deadline. Anyone have any experience with this?

How does it print? You can't always judge line width on screen.

How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer.
I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

Can I print the last page of a PDF document using command line?

Hi
I am in a situation in which I constantly have to deal with multiple PDF documents and I need to print the last page in each of these, and ONLY the last page. The total number of pages will vary for each file, so the page number for the last page will also vary.
I would really prefer to not do this manually, by opening up each file in the visible Adobe Reader window and then print.
Question:
Is there a way with Adobe Reader (maybe with the help of some other Adobe product) to print only the last page of a PDF document using some kind of command line without opening up the PDF file in the visible Adobe Reader window?
I'm using Windows.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Emil

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I tried both ways and neither works. It gives me a prompt box that I have to click "next" for every page but after going thru all pages, nothing is sent to the printer.
Also, all directions I've read indicate it will print to the default printer. If my default printer is on a network, will that cause problems....
and...
should I be getting a prompt box on every page? I thought all this would happen behind the scenes and not force me to interact with every page.

Compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line

Does anyone know how to compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line. I want to do this via command line because we want to compare hundreds of file every day through some automated windows tasks.
If command line option is not available in acrobat, then is it feasible to make use of acrobat javascript API to do this task?
Any kind of help will be greatly.

Command-line: Not possible.
JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is simulate clicking the Compare Documents button. The rest has to be done manually.
However, it *might* be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information...

Project Server 2007: use cannot add lines to or recall timesheet

I have a certain user that, for some reason, cannot use the Add Lines or Recall Timesheet function in Project Server 2007 SP3. The weird thing is, it works on another laptop, so it must be something related to the user's machine - but I'm baffled as to what
the exact cause may be.
There's no error what so ever - no Error On Page as is pretty common with these behaviors.
Here's what I've tried so far:
- Internet Explorer 8 version is supported
- Deleted ActiveX controls, but these don't seem to be a prerequisite for Timesheets
- IE Compatibility mode on/off
I have no idea what else to check, and I want to make sure I've tackled everything before escalating this to SysOps for a browser/OS reinstall.

Hi DMachiels,
Have you tried to refresh your IE session deleting the cache (CTRL F5)?
Also ensure that the PWA URL is include in the IE trusted sites (intranet and internet).
Hope this helps.

How Can A Website Be Opened In Chrome Using Adobe PDF Script?

How Can A Website Be Opened In Chrome Using Adobe PDF Script?
An Internet Explorer website can be opened using: app.launchURL("Website-Name", true);

Does it not just open it in the default HTTP viewer? If not, there certainly isn't a chrome-specific interface.

No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.
