Adobe Pdf Scripting

Hello All,
Here i need solution to a specific scenario in Adobe Pdf forms
In a Adobe Form, whenever we have a Dynamic Text or Numeric field, which can be either binded or scripted to fetch data from a Data Source, it works fine.
But in some case for eg.
Field[0]
Field[1]
Field[2]
which have same names in a array and also with "Normal" binding, the script written for it seems to malfunction, if each field have different script.(Note: this behaviour is happening in EhP systems )
Also Adobe recommends that, using Normal as a binding propety may have performance issues at runtime.
could there be a solution to overcome this.
Thanks & Regards
Srikanth.

HI Bernd Alheit,
Can you explain in detail.
thanks

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.

Problem with "Save as Adobe PDF format" in Excel and Word

Hi
When I use printing zone in Excel and make a «Save as Adobe PDF format» (menu File / Save as Adobe PDF), the first save is well done. But when I make it a second time, what's not in the printing zone is printing in the document.
I have also problem with the «Save as Adobe PDF format» in Word. The images superposition are not well print.
I'm using Windows 7 in french, Office 2010 french and Adobe Acrobat XI standard. All is in the latest version.
Thanks

The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
To create Pdf you have to use method used:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
Not before you attempt to use this method if Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF. AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to have access. But I have no idea.
First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
Good luck.

Avoiding the 'Save PDF File As' dialog when printing to the adobe PDF printer from a service

Hello, can someone please help.
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed.
I have an in house application which (among many other things) effectively monitors a directory and prints the file to the default printer. It works fine when run as an application.
I have set the defaults on the Adobe PDF printer to put the output PDF file into a directory and not to open it so it works silently without prompts.
When I run my application as a service, it brings up the 'Save PDF File As' dialog and I would like to avoid this. My impression is that if I put the right registry key in then it will work.
I do not want to do any scripting if I can avoid it.
Thanks for all constructive help given.

Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.

Why does error message occur when "Save as Adobe PDF" is used?

"Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work; it only generates "Error An error occurred while saving the PDF file."
I can create a PDF two ways: (1) distilling a Postscript file and using Acrobat Distiller, and (2) using the MacOS PDF generator (MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context).
Is there a reason "Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work? Is this an issue related to Yosemite or Adobe Acrobat? I am curious to know if other Yosemite and Acrobat XI users have this issue?
Kind regards, –John
Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3)

Thank you for replying. I appreciate your feedback, Mr. Lloyd. "Save as PDF" does generate a PDF using MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context. However, I am trying to solve an issue with PDF generating with Adobe Distiller since upgrading to Yosemite.
I am curious to know if anyone in the Apple community can verify if "Save as Adobe PDF" works for him or her. If this script specific to Acrobat Distiller XI version 11.0.10 does not function with Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, I can disregard this functionality. However, if the functionality does work for others, I shall work to find a solution.
My question was asked in part to help me gain understanding of changes in PDF production that have occurred since I upgraded to Yosemite. The following description is the root of my query which I posted on Acrobat Discussion groups:
Using Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3), I have been creating PDF files of music charts optimized for viewing on iPad using Acrobat Distiller XI version 11.0.10. I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). Music charts are designed using Pages 5.5.2 using Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 and a custom page size (7.75 in. x 10.25) with four 0.06 inch margins. This allows me to replicate exact content of a PDF file optimized for printing [Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 with US Letter page size (8.5 in. x 11) having four 0.5 inch margins] on a PDF file optimized for viewing on an iPad. The iPad PDF has reduced white space in margins allowing the music chart to have the largest print viewable when looking at an iPad while performing.
I am creating a PDF by distilling a Postscript file and using Acrobat Distiller [PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)]. "Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work; it only generates "Error An error occurred while saving the PDF file." Moreover, "Save as an Adobe PDF" never works for any circumstance.
The issue is iPad PDFs no longer have 0.06 inch margins. A PDF file is created, but there is more white space in margins. I have determined the PDF production is being affected by the HP LaserJet 1012 0.167 inch minimal margins. The outcome does not change if I select Any Printer from Page Setup. However, a PDF with 0.06 inch margins is created if I use the MacOS PDF generator (MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context).
Is there any thing I can do to use Adobe Acrobat XI to make charts optimized iPad like I could before I upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)? Just curious…

? Printing a PDF file to Adobe PDF messes up everything

Here are three questions that may be related to each other. I've wanted to ask them for a long time but kept hoping they would somehow resolve themselves. Any advice would be appreciated.
1. When I print a PDF file to Adobe PDF as an image, the black color (even the fonts) becomes gray and blurry. The selection to print as an image is made in Print (to PDF) - Advanced Print Setup - Settings Custom / Print as Image (resolution 600 dpi, which is the highest available choice). This happens regardless of what settings I choose in Print - Properties (Standard, High Quality Print, etc.).
2. Running OCR on occasion does something similar. The letters become blurry and grayish. Everything is more difficult to read after OCR. It's as if Adobe has chosen to substitute the font or color for something blurry. It's strange.
3. Sometimes OCR doesn't make things worse. The quality doesn't deteriorate. In this case I wonder whether the quality should actually improve rather than stay as is. If a letter is recognized despite the fact that its image is not perfect, shouldn't it be substituted in the document by a perfectly solid letter with no defects by using one of the regular Adobe fonts? Should a real font be used instead of an image of the letter that has been recognized in OCR?
Are my settings wrong or am I doing something wrong? I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks in advance.

What version of Acrobat? What OS? What are your choices when creating the OCR? Without knowing how you are doing things, it is hard to answer.
It is not clear why you want to create images in a PDF from a current PDF. For a black type style, it is probably better to use a preflight script to convert to gray-scale first and then do your graphic conversion (I am not asking why you want to do this, but just trying to address your question).

Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefox & Netscape ''9.4.1'' was causing unresponsive problems on my browser and I had to disable it . Is there anything I can do about this?

I was getting an unresponsive script warning on most web pages, but more persistent on Windows Live telling me to stop script or continue. I could view the pages by doing both and the only way i could stop the warnings from appearing was to disable the Adobe PDF Plug-in. Increasing the time for the script to run didn't seem to work either. It was taking too long for the pages to load and Firefox used to hang.
After disabling the plug-in it stopped doing it.
Does disabling it effect my browser in any other way?

Hello Vivek,
I have learned I do have the latest Adobe Reader installed and that the plug-in is included in that download & install. So apparently the problem lies with the Firefox plug-in checker.
I did the ALT + H, while in FF, & deleted the file, retried update, using the Firefox Plug-in Checker w/same results.
Then I exited FF, did the Windows key + R typed in %APPDATA% & located it then deleted it, and now wouldn't you know the Plug-In Checker is not working, (We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later.)
Just gave it another shot & it's working . But still no joy, same results, showing the plug-in needs updating - being outdated version.

Problems with Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java

As of now , I have two major issues in developing Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java .
1.Text getting wrapped and repeated from the first line :
Any text field that flows to the next page gets wrapped at the end of the page and is again printed on the next page beginning from the first line .
For eg:
If I have 4 lines in a text field that is at the end of the page
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
3333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444
and the page holds space for only two lines it prints the lines
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
in the first page and then proceeds to the next page and prints
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
rather than printing
3333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444
2.No way to hide a page at runtime:
It is not possible to hide a page in a PDF form at runtime . If scripting is used , the page turns into a blank page but not hidden .
Any pointers on this????????
Helpful answers will be suitably rewarded with points!!!!

Yes,I am using the versions that you mentioned.
I have a node called MasterData which is the root node for my PDF Form.I have a node called GenData inside this node whose ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num attribute is bound to a hidden TextField in my form.In the docReady event of this TextField, I am writing the following FormCalc script to hide my SubForm whose Id is MngrCmptnc
if(MasterData.GenData.ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num == "2")
then
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "visible"
else
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "hidden"
endif

No Adobe PDF or EPS available in InDesign "Print Booklet?"

I am running Windows 7 and have InDesign CS6 and Acrobat X Pro installed. I need to save a multi-page document in booklet form to a PDF to send to a service provider. When I try to use the “Print Booklet” routine there are no presets for Adobe PDF or EPS. A non-Adobe PDF creator that I have installed does show up but it is inadequate for this job. Exporting the document to Adobe PDF works just fine. but that doesn't impose the proper page sequence, Can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure that the PDF virtual printer is actually installed after Acrobat 9 since it no longer works in Mac after Snow Leopard.
There are scripts that will allow you to do simple two-up impositions that don't use creep, and an inexpensive (used to be free, and might be still) plugin for more complex impositions: Overview | IDImposer
But this printer is really not doing his job if he wants you to d the imposition, and I'd be very suspicious of his ability to output your file correctly. Do you have other options?

Error with "Save as Adobe PDF" in Word 2008

I have Word 2008 12.2.5 on Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I just upgraded all in one go from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to 9.3.3. I went to try out the "Save as Adobe PDF" function, and every time I get an error popup that says "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". The popup includes the OS X "Automator" icon of a robot holding a pipe(?).
First there is a dialog box where I set Adobe PDF Settings: Standard and After PDF Creation: Nothing. I click Continue and a file dialog is next where I choose the output filename, where I click Save, then the error box appears.
Help?

How to dynamically assign Display Pattern using FormCalc in Adobe PDF Form

I am using Adobe PDF Form Designer. I am trying to dynamically assign a display pattern like MM/DD/YYYY to the Field tab - Display Pattern property. May I know how to do that?
I am using FormCalc scripting.

hi,
After placing the date field in layout from data view, u will get tabs like field,layout,border etc..
In field tab under the edit pattern specify the pattern in which you want to display the date field.
hope this works.
Reward points if helpful.

View Adobe Pdf results Minimized

I'm running Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 with QuarkXpress and Photoshop CS5. With both programs when creating a Pdf by using the Adobe Pdf driver and the "View Adobe Pdf Results" checked, a pdf file is created, but not fully opened. A flashing minimized box is placed on the taskbar which opens to a full page view when clicked. In earlier versions of Acrobat it opened directly to full page view. Additionally, when creating a pdf with a third party program (NovaPDF), it works properly and directly opens to full page view. Perhaps, I haven't configured the preference file correctly. Has anyone else run into this problem? Appreciate all help & guidance.
Burt Stuttman

Yes, I'm printing to the Adobe PDF printer. FWIW, I used to be able to right-click in MSIE and use "convert to PDF" to create a PDF, but when my hard drive crashed and was replaced and the OS (and everything else) reinstalled, that wouldn't work anymore. Now I get a script error. I'm guessing that's an MSIE problem (possibly because when the OS was reinstalled, a newer version -- 9 -- of MSIE was installed), but at this point I can live with it.

Help with "Print to PDF" Script...

Hi All,
I'm a Web Designer and I would need help creating a Print to PDF Script...
Here's what I have:
// Illustrator Export Script
var difDocuments;
difDocuments = documents.length;
 for(i=0;i<difDocuments;i++) {
 var aDocument;
 aDocument = documents[i];
 var docName;
 docName = aDocument.name;
 var docPath;
 docPath = aDocument.path;
 var docPathStr = docPath.toString();
 if (docPathStr.length>1) {
 var documentPath;
 documentPath = aDocument.path + "/" + aDocument.name;
 else {
 var documentPath;
 documentPath = "Z://Users//Fred//Chavi Files//Saved Exported PDF" + "/" + aDocument.name;
 var printOpts;
 printOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
 printOpts.printPreset = "Print As PDF";
 var fileToSave;
 fileToSave = new File(docPath + "/" + "Saved Flat PDF" + "/" + aDocument.name);
 aDocument.print(fileToSave,printOpts);
So what I'm attempting to do is to make a Print to PDF script rather then a Save As PDF, since print as PDF takes half the space...
The settings would either be from a Print Preset or just by regular options...(if someone could make a list of the attributes and the "formatting" it'd be extremely appreciated...
Thanks,
Fred.

I already tried that...my test file was around 60kb with the "Print as PDF" and 104kb using the "Save as PDF" and then Optimizing....
I'm mostly doing the exporting to PDF on the Windows machine and I tested my script in Windows as well...
Am I just formatting it wrong?
It tells me:
"Error 1242: Illegal argument - argument 1 - Object Expected
Line: 30
->
aDocument.print(fileToSave,printOpts);"
and just before that I had a couple of "Constructor" errors...in the "Adobe Illustrator Scripting Guide" it was saying that:
"The following objects must be created explicitly:
Illustrator save options
PDF save options
PPD file
PPD file info
printer
print flattener options
print job options
print options"
What exactly do they mean? I created the objects like so: "object = new object();"
It also mentionned a "var object = app.document[0].add();" Those are to create paths and shapes if I'm not mistaken (ActionScript background).
Hopefully I'll find a way around this...
P.S: how much slower would an Action be? And could an action be "transformed" into a Script?
Thanks a lot for your help

Adobe CS3Clean Script for Windows

I have downloaded and unzipped the file located at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
English/Japanese
Download the Adobe CS3Clean Script for Windows (ZIP, 978 KB)
Each time I extract the files, the
AdobeCS3CleanReadMe.pdf
will not open because it is corrupt.
There is an additional file named:
âNâèü[âôâAâbâvâXâNâèâvâgé+é-éóé-.pdf
which I have not attempted to open for obvious reasons....

I don't know for sure, but a good guess is that it's the same
readme in
Japanese. I don't have Japanese characters installed so
perhaps that's why
the gobbletygook?
However, the AdobeCS3CleanReadMe.pdf in the download I just
got is fine.
Try downloading again .. if that doesn't help .. and your
Adobe Reader is
updated .. drop me a line and I'll send you the PDF from my
download.
