Adobe XMP data and Spry

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of
examples of how to use Adobe's embedded XMP in Spry. I've tried
building an example using some of the code samples on this site,
but they all deal with generic XML.

I am also looking for a metadata modification solution. Check out this: http://www.lodgephoto.com/articles/pshop_scripting.htm. It has javascript reading the XMP data and writes it to a file. I modified the js in order to add the title and author IPTC fields, but am unable to find the correct variable for the keywords. If you have any knoledge of the way to correctly target the keywords, please reply.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Hulting

Split Spry.Data and Spry.Data.Region from SpryData.js?

I don't like Spry.Data.Region or anything like Spry.*.Region because it make hard to customize using javascript.
But Spry.Data with Observer / Notify feature is great one. In fact, using SpryData.js, I can write my own "render html object" easier.
SrpyData.js is big (127KB) even when compressed, it is still 65KB. That why, needed split Spry.Data and Spry.Data.Region from SpryData.js so who want to use Spry.Data only like me will get smaller trafic.
I've tried remove all Spry.Data.Region content in SpryData.js. Surprise, some in Spry.Data call to Spry.Data.Region >>> Design have problem.
Anyone can help splitting them?

Found this in the archives:
<div spry:if="{ds_RowCount} == 0" class="trigger" style="display:none"></div>
Basically a hack to point the tooltip to a hidden div so no errors are thrown.

How Adobe gets DATE and its format?

Hello,
I am getting current (todays) date by using below JS in some flds, and by using below FormCalc for some flds into my_form,
JS:
var currentTime = new Date()
Form Calc:
$.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(MM/DD/YYYY))
But, i dont have much idea that how adobe is getting this date? For my company this is the very first form, hence they are asking me how adobe gets date and its format whether,
1) From local IP/Interner provider address's date, format?
2) or user PC/laptop's LOCAL settings date, format? if so, for example, if Germany user (Laptop settings) has a DD.MM.YYYY configured, if this user comes to US on a busines trip and if that user opens the form, then how the date looks like for this user? as per user laptop settings DD.MM.YYYY or local internat provider date format MM//DD//YYYY?
Thank you

Hi,
the date() function returns the number of days since 01.01.1900 for the local date of the current system (related to the system clock of the OS).
If you travel from Germany to the US but don't update your date/time settings, then it returns the same date in the US as in Germany.
You can check the behavior by changing your local date/time setting or the timezones.

AME hangs at "Reading XMP Data" and won't start encoding

System:
Mac OSX 10.8.5
2 x 3.06 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
64 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Premiere 7.2.1 (4)
AME 7.2.0.43
I've created short videos, usually 4 to 12 minutes in length. Edited from Sony XDCAM EX video at 720p60.
I export 5 of these videos to AME using the h.264 codec to try to create mp4 files and cueue them in AME.
Once they are in the Queue of AME, I hit start. AME shows the progress at the bottom and says it is Reading XMP data, but it
then never progresses to the encoding process. I just keep seeing that yellow and grey barber pole progress bar moving, but nothing
ever happens.
I've used this process for months with no problems and now it won't work. My coworkers and I have the same setup and we are each
haveing nothing but problems ever since Premiere and AME went past 7.0.
I saw it mentioned in another question to uncheck "Enable native Premiere Pro sequence import". I tried that yesterday and it worked.
Today it does not.
Please help, this is getting rediculous the amount of problems we are suddenly having with Adobe products and a maxed out Mac machine.

After poking around the internets and reading this thread and others, I did the following. I am not sure WHICH of these steps lead to it working, so I will list all.
- Deleted all contents of "media cache" and "media cache files" directories. I tried hitting the "clean" button (in PPro prefs), but after waiting 5 minutes and the progress bar only getting to like 10%, I just hit "cancel" and deleted the files myself, brute force. Took all of 45 seconds. Then, for good measure, I hit the "clean" button again, and it finished in seconds. I did this for both PPro and AME, and both had identical media settings.
- Restarted AME and trashed prefs (holding "shift" while booting). Because of hitting this error before, I already had "Enable Native PPro import" checkmark ticked. When I trashed prefs, if went back on. For fun, I left it on.
- Searched project drive with my media on it for all ".CFA" files on it (because my media settings generates them next to source media when possible). I deleted.
- Restarted computer.
- Opened Premiere. Opened project. Let it reconnect all media and re-generate all CFA files. When everything was silent (took about 30 mins) I exported to Queue. Before I had experimented with using audio render files. I left that box off this time.
- Used the "metadata" settings in the export queue to NOT have it transfer ANY metadata from the project to the rendered file.
- Queue took a long time to get started, but eventually it worked.
It should be noted that I am dealing with a large project (5,000 RED clips, 10,000 audio files) where almost every clip is a merged clip. There's maybe 10 tracks of audio in every timeline and the final thing was an assembly sequence made up of 10 nested sequences. So... not simple.
My gut is that this is a problem with the audio. I don't know why, but I think it is. My next try was going to be just exporting video, no audio, and then running audio through ProTools via a OMF.

Convert XMP Date and Time

Hi, in my script I am trying to read the Date and Time using the XMP functions of a selected file in bridge. Then, I want to convert that date and time into a format that looks like: "01/12/10 | 01:23 PM" and write that to another metadata field like the description. Im stuck on trying to convert the date and time into what I want it to look like? Can anyone help, thanks!
Here is the part of the code I'm having trouble with:
When I read the dateTimeOriginal property of the file, it is in an unfriendly format. It looks odd and shows the time zone. The commented lines is code that I have tried, but didn't work. I was trying to convert the XMPDateTime object into a Date object so I can adjust the format, but I haven't been successful.
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
      var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
      var Name = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "DateTimeOriginal");
      var date = new XMPDateTime(new Date(Name));
      var date2 = new Date(date);
      //dateFormat.masks.portfolioDate = 'mm/dd/yy "|" hh:MM TT';
//date.format("portfolioDate");
//date2.format("mm/dd/yy");
alert(date2.toString());
Name.convertToLocalTime();
Name.toString();
alert(Name);

Thanks for helping me out Paul. I just have one more small problem. I am trying to access the Headline XMP property, and I know i need to use the IPTC Core property, but it doesn't seem to work. Here is my current code, can you help me out?
var selectedFile = thumb.spec;
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
var xmpString = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "DateTimeOriginal").toString();
            alert(xmpString);
var xmpString2 = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_IPTC_CORE, "Headline").toString();
alert(xmpString2);
var dat =xmpString.match(/(\d+).(\d+).(\d+).(\d+).(\d+).(\d+)/);
var amOrPm = "AM";
var hours = Number(dat[4]);
if (hours > 11) amOrPm = "PM";
if (hours > 12) hours = hours - 12;
if (hours > 11) amOrPm = "PM";
if (hours < 10) hours = '0' + hours;
var dateString = dat[2]+"/"+dat[3]+"/"+dat[1].substr (2) +" | "+ hours +':'+dat[5]+ ' ' +amOrPm;

Adobe Forms: date and number display format

Hello all,
I am new to Adobe Form, and I am quite unimpressed with how difficult it is to do the most simple things.
I have managed one way or another to solve all my problems until now, but this one got me stuck.
I have date and number fields in my form, and here is what I want to do but cannot (beware, it is impressive): I need these fields to be displayed using the defaults date and number settings of the SAP user who is generating the form.
Anyone has an idea of how that can be achieved?
Thank you.
Moderator message: please post again in the dedicated forum for "Adobe Interactive Forms".

Hi Thomas,
For these kind of issues you will get many answers if you search the forum.
If your requirement is to display the current date in the form, just drag and drop the "Current date" UI element from the Library palette -> Custom.
If it is to get the date from SAP and display, pass date to the context node and just drag and drop the field into the form from the data view.
Check the following wiki by Chintan. It explains some common scenarios in javascript.
[JavaScript Part 1|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartI]
[JavaScript Part 2|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartII]
Use an 'if' condition, check the value and based on the value you can make the field hide/visible in the form.
Hope this will help.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanoosh

NEF files contain XMP data

I've just found a load of old NEF files with embedded XMP data, which seem to have been updated in July 2008. Many of them have Camera Raw settings in them too.
The files contain the string <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Core 4.1-c037 46.282696, Mon Apr 02 2007 18:36:42 ">
Any idea how they could have got there? I thought the only software which would write to NEFs was made by Nikon.

Time to resurrect a three year old thread of mine.
I still have about 500 Nikon raw files "infected" with Adobe XMP data, and this might be causing indexing problems with Camera Raw and Bridge. So I'd like to cure the infection. Problem is, I'm not aware of any editors which will fully understand and write sensibly to NEF files. I just tried EXIFtool and it doesn't identify the dodgy data at all.
I tried a workaround a couple of years ago, which was laborious but seemed to help: I loaded each file into a binary file editor and changed the word "Lightroom" into "bightroom" and the word "Camera" into "bamera". Don't laugh, it was the quickest and easiest workaround I could come up with. The upshot was that each Adobe XMP "container" was then effectively hidden from Adobe software.
Now, it turns out, Camera Raw is still copying the "bogus" XMP data to the XMP sidecar, sensible or not. I guess it's being ignored, but I'm not so sure Bridge is so immune.
I think I've worked out that the infection was caused by Microsoft Pro Photo Tools (nice one, Microsoft), as the infected files also have a tag MicrosoftPhoto:Rating. I'm reluctant to download it again, in case it cocks up more photos, and my Windows installation too. Indded, it may not be able to reverse the action anyway.
I tried converting a file to DNG, but clearing metadata doesn't seem to touch the stuff originally embedded in NEF.
So, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might reverse-engineer a few NEF files, and chop out bogus XMP data?

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

In Windows 7 using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) was able to copy an item (name, number, date) and paste in another document. In Windows 8.1 using same version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) not able to do this. Any solutions?

With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy. With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy. Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
Eureka!!! Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy. Hurray!!!

Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

This is not a message that Adobe is providing, and I recommend that you not click on the link. It sounds as though you might have malware on your computer.

Insufficient data sent error in Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X

I have an issue that is happening with several users that I support. It is only happening in a specific program that they use. When they open PDFs, they get the message insufficient data sent and then a blank document opens. I noticed that this seemed to be an issue a couple years ago, but it was apparently solved with recent releases of Adobe reader. I have installed and set up Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X, but the results are the same and very intermittent. It can happen when trying to open a document and then not happen 10 seconds later on the same doc. The company that provides the online program blames Adobe. Where do I proceeed from here?

Hello,
unfortunately it's a reserved document. I'll try to reproduce the issue with a different design and, if possible, I'll post a link to it.
Thank you!
Best regards,

What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity. Thanks

What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
Thanks
<moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?
