Automatically create & print snapshots

Good morning.
I do a large amount of shipping and the labels are printed using a PDF document with 2 labels per page. Right now I have to manually take a snapshot of each label and then print to my Zebra label printer. Is there a way to automate the snapshot/print process? Perhaps some sort of macro program or ability within Adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance,
Kyle

Not in the sense of something that you can record, like in Word, but it contains an internal scripting mechanism that allows you to automate many tasks.
In fact, I've developed a script that does something quite similar to what you've described. I'll send you some more info about it via PM.

  • Firefox 29 is no longer automatically creating bookmarks backups.

    I hate to be posting another question having finally (I believe) finding a work around for the "Firefox 29 fails to exit properly and remains running in task manager" problem.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997670
    However, in Firefox 28 FF would automatically create a new bookmarks backup upon first opening of each day and the number of bookmark backups could be set in about:config setting:
    browser.bookmarks.max_backups
    Since installing Firefox 29 this functionality does not appear to be working. Is this by design or another "issue"? Has anyone else noticed this issue?
    Please don't ask me to "reset to default state", "run in safe mode", etc. I just went through all that with the above "Failing to exit properly" thread. I know I can manually backup bookmarks. I would like to know whether this is by design, if other people have noticed this, or I am the only one experiencing this.
    Here is my troubleshooting information (excluding the thousand references to my printer):

    This is a bit of a "bump" with some new things I have tried. I have run the Places Maintenance add-on (again) and places.sqlite integrity seems absolutely fine.
    Places Maintenance: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    I have re-installed FF 29.
    I am able to create manually, and restore, bookmark backups without a hitch.
    I did delete places.sqlite and restarted FF 29. The only thing I lost was all my bookmark Icons. So I re-added the former places.sqlite. Of course, I would have to wait until tomorrow morning to know for sure, but since the Places Maintenance add-on indicated no problems, and since I can manually create them, I am quite sure it is not a corrupted places.sqlite file.
    I tried what may be a dubious add-on, BackupFox, and it failed to create a new backup but left a temp file in the main profile folder.
    Logic tells me that if I can manually create and restore bookmark backups, then something in the engine(?) may be responsible but I do not know enough to go further with that. Permissions must be O.K. or I wouldn't be able to make (manually) a backup.
    I did not have this problem at all with FF 28. Rather, I was asking cor-el how to limit the number of backups, which he showed me. What makes this difficult to test is that I would have to wait until the first opening of FF each day to tell.
    I can't tell if this problem is "only me" or affecting others, however, (no insult intended) I can paste into the support.mozilla.org page search box the exact title of this thread and not find it. I shows up number 1 on Google doing similar search. People who aren't checking their profile folder each day might not even be noticing this.
    cor-el, or anybody, have you found auto backups have stopped in FF 29 for you? Anyone who reads this please let me know if your bookmark auto-backup is working. Just peak in your profile and see if you have a new one each day.
    Does anyone know just what .dll or .exe or what actually is triggered how that causes the auto-backup to occur? Is it the maintenance service?
    What I have not tried is creating another profile because this one seems just fine and I has always worked before 29, and still does work, as far as profiles go. I need to know what "triggers" auto bookmark backup and I doubt it is my profile.

  • Hyper-V creates hidden Snapshots - Howto merge

    First of all, is there a possibility to give information about a bug to microsoft without paying?
    As I haven't found one (which would be really NOT customerfriendly) and I hope to help others I will post my problem and solution here.
    Today our productive server which is a vm on a hyper-v host ran out of hdd space which was quite confusing for us as the assigned size of the disk is much less then the space the physical disk on the host has.
    The hyper-v manager didn't show any snapshots. In the filesystem we saw a vhd AND a avhd file, the avhd file being the newer one and causing the error as it took all the space left on the disk.
    We do NOT know where this avhd file comes from (maybe microsoft or some of you know how this could have happened?) but here comes the solution how I managed to merge the vhd and the avhd file.
    I created another snapshot. So now I had two avhd files and one vhd file. Now I also saw at least the LAST snapshot in the hyper-v manager. I deleted this last snapshot in the hyper-v-manager (DO NOT DELETE THE AVHD FILE IN THE FILESYSTEM!) and started merging
    the snapshot and the vhd. In this merging process also the hidden snapshot is merged and both avhd files dissappear and diskspace is free again.
    Reserve some time for the merging process - it took me about one hour.
    I'm quite alarmed about that now as we are just bying a new server and wanted to use hyper-v again. Would be really helpful to know where this hidden snapshots come from and how to avoid them so we can decide if we should stick to our decision to use hyper-v.
    Also I feel very unhappy with the fact that there iseems to be no possibility to contact microsoft without paying even if there seems to be a bug in their OS.
    Best regards,
    Tina

    Hi Tina, There are a few possibilities here.  The Virtual Server could have been moved from a previous Version of Hyper-v, leaving the AVHD file inplace, this wouldn't show up in the new hyper-V console.
    Or some backup solutions create independent snapshots, which are using to backup online Virtual servers
    Have you moved your Virtual Servers recently to new hardware ? you don't mention what version of Server your are using 2012 ? 2008R2 , 2012R2 ?.
    Also if you delete a snapshot on 2008R2, the snapshot can stay there until you power off the virtual server. at which point it then automatically merges back into the original VHD.
    When you delete a snapshot, the .avhd files that store the snapshot data remain in the storage location until the virtual machine is shut down, turned off, or put into a saved state. As a result, when you delete a snapshot, you will need to put
    the production virtual machine into one of those states at some point to be able to complete the safe removal of the snapshot.

  • How can I read the printer snapshot file printers.xml

    How can I read the printer snapshot file printers.xml

    XML files are typically viewed using a web browser.
    Open the XML file and the default program should open it automatically.  If you are prompted to select a program, use the option that lets you choose a program and brows through the directories for your browser (for example, use Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.).
    If need be, you should be able to right-click the file and select open with to choose the program to open it with.
    There are other XML viewers out ther, but web browsers are typically the default as XML is a web language.

  • Automatic Workload Repository  Snapshots stopped ! How to restart

    Hello,
    On a 10.1 database when I try to create a ADDM report (Database: DBNAME > Advisor Central > Create ADDM Task ) I get a warning the following Warning :
    Insufficient Data in Interval. For displaying data on this page, two historical snapshots are needed. Make sure that two snapshots are present in the target database instance. In addition modify the interval so that it is contained within two available snapshots.
    if I check the AWR snapshots (Database: DBNAME > Automatic Workload Repository > Snapshots
    )I notice that I have no more snapshot since few days.
    I have search how to start again the Automatic Workload Repository Snapshots, but I did not found how to do it.
    Some body can help to restart the AWR snapshots.
    Thanks in advance !!!
    Best regards
    Gaspard Amiet

    Hello Chandra,
    Select snap_interval from dba_hist_wr_control; Return : +00 00:10:00.000000
    Before It was to 1 hour and I change to 10 minutes.
    statistics_level=TYPICAL, that is the default I think.
    One more point, on this database the AWR snapshot work well before.
    Best regards

  • Stop LR from automatically creating TIFF or PSD files when opening in PS.

    Every time I open a RAW file into Photoshop CS5  from LR3, it automatically creates and saves a PSD or TIFF file. Is there a way to stop lightroom from doing this? When I used LR2, I saved these files only if I choose to. I always convert my files to jpg after I'm done editing in PS and don't need these huge files hanging around.

    Kara_Rue wrote:
    The jpgs contain my photoshop edits so that is why I save them. As far as I know, the lightroom data will be retained but any additional photoshop editing will need to be saved in some format. I'm a professional photographer so I like to have the JPGS easily available for when people order prints.
    I suppose that is just a difference in our personal workflows. Since JPEG files are compressed with lossy compression, many people prefer to keep the TIF or the PSD that Photoshop creates. That file contains all of the Photoshop changes as well as the original Lightroom adjustments. And there is no quality loss in those files. Then JPEG images are created as needed for printing or sharing on the web. And once that purpose has been met, the JPEG files are deleted. But your workflow seems to be different, and one that you are comfortable with. Sorry for harping like I did. I didn't even think about your need to upgrade ACR. Just be aware that if you decide to upgrade it will be necessary to upgrade both programs in order to keep everything in sync.

  • How do you unmark the Rely on System Fonts settings to automatically created virtual printers in Citrix?

    Hello!
    We have an application that requires the Rely on System Fonts box to be unmarked.  I already unmarked it on the Adobe PDF printer on the Citrix server however this change does not roll down to the automatically created adobe printers in Citrix.  How can I roll down the change?
    Thanks
    MarisolB

    Steve,
    Thanks for your notes. To follow up on your response.
    Bummer. I kinda had a hunch at this inDesign limitation.
    I have been aware of the method for setting up of a security policy within Acrobat. While this feature does cut down some of the work involved in creating and applying password policies to pdfs, what I am looking for with Acrobat is to apply the same password policy to every document I save from the app. Automatically. Without having to manualy select a policy.
    I think my solution will have to lie in me creating some sort of script to help support this need. I don't think Acrobat Pro X has the capabilities to allow me to tinker with, say, creating a save PDF preset that will allow me to automatically apply a password policy.
    PS. I am using acrobat pro x.

  • Photoshop's File: Automate: Create Droplet: is droplet's function reliable?

    I've just begun using droplets that Photoshop creates in its Automate submenu (File: Automate: Create Droplet:), and am enjoying the convenience that these droplets afford working with Photoshop actions. However I have misgivings concerning reliability of the droplets' function, (and hope that  someone, either with technical expertise, or else someone who simply has used the droplets a great deal, can give me some insight).
    Specifically, my concern is with the kind of the (droplet) application that Photoshop is producing with Create Droplet command, which is kind PowerPC (as is indicated in the System Profiler).
    My Photoshop copy is CS4, its publication date 2008; my operating system is Mac Snow Leopard (v. 10.6.8). All of the applications that have shipped with my current os, and all of the up-to-date applications that I have installed, are of application kind Intel, or else kind Universal, and notably PowerPC is not present among them.
    The architecture of PowerPC I know to be rather outdated. When I'd purchased my new Mac Pro computer (Intel based), all of application scripts which I wrote with AppleScript Editor on my old PowerMac computer, were dysfunctional when copied onto the new computer, and needed to be rewritten or discarded. (Kind of these problematic applications was PowerPC.)
    Don't wish to be fanatical, (and I realize that the droplets may actually work just fine). Still my dread is a scenario, working with droplets, that they (may) produce error in my graphic design files, and when sent to the printer could cause trouble, subsequently trying to look at where the problem is, droplets would NEVER occur to me as source of trouble, and a means to fix be quite evasive.
    Leo.

    I've now come across several instances of this problem from other people posting on the internet.
    My problem is that is adds a .jpeg extension, another one I've seen has a .pdf extension and someone else has had problems with a .abcdp extension always being added. Someone else had a problem with a .com and another with a .exe
    Perhaps that once a droplet is saved once with an extension then the script is altered to save all droplet like this? I'm only guessing here...
    This doesn't seem to be a new problem either as the .abcdp extension came from PS3, my own problems are with CS3 and the .pdf extension problem mentioned earlier was with CS4.
    Unfortunately, I've still not found any answers.

  • Automatically creating non-interactive PDF forms from XML data

    Hi All,
    I am a newbie to the whole Adobe LifeCycle Designer product and have been trying to find a definitive technical article on a way to automatically create pdf documents from template forms using XML data. I can create the XML, I can create the form based on the XML schema but I can't seem to find anything which explains how to automatically associate the form with the each xml file that I create and produce a pdf document based on the xml data.
    The project I am working involves creating marketing brochures, driven from our enterprise databases, to be sent to a printer. No user interaction is required, and I estimate that we'll need to create around 500-1000 pdf's per day.
    To me this seems like it should be quite a simple task but I can't find anything which gives me a starting point.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Nick Smith

    Hi Nick,
    Just curious if you figured out how to generate a PDF out of a template? I've a similar requirement where I transform XML schemas into templates, convert the template into a PDF document, and at run time bind the PDF with the form data.
    To sort of answer your question of how to bind an XML instance file to a form, if that form is an XML-FORM, then all you'd need to do is open that document as a PDF document using the PDFFactory, and invoke the importFormData() method on it, passing the XML instance as the input stream.
    The harder part though is getting the PDF out of the template in the first place, without using any adobe user interface period.

  • How to get rid of automatically created server accounts in iCal and Mail?

    I have recently setup an OS X 10.6.2 Server for our small office. I got the domain name wrong in the initial install and fixed this by doing a complete clean reinstall of OS X 10.6 server (then upgrade to 10.6.2).
    The problem is that one of the OS X 10.6.2 clients had been setup to talk to the server prior to the rebuild. Now on this client, I cannot work out how to get rid of or change the automatically created server accounts in iCal and Mail - everytime you login, these are recreated using the old domain name (and of course don't work).
    In Mail if you remove the server account (from Accounts in Preferences), it just pops back again. I even removed every trace of the old domain name from the apple.com.mail.plist file but when I re-open Mail that darned server account (with the old domain name) just pops up again.
    In iCal its slightly different in that you can remove the account and it stays away while you have iCal open. But as soon as you close and re-open it, that server account just pops up again!
    I thought it might be something to do with Kerberos and found a Kerberos file on the client which had the old domain name throughout it - I changed all these references to the new domain name, but still the same behaviour in Mail and iCal.
    This is doing my head in. Any ideas?

  • How to delete the automatically created receipt in the expense report

    Hi experts,
    I am getting an error "no expense type for estimated costs has been defined. cannot save" while creating a travel request for an employee.
    Base on the reply from Raynard which posted on Re: FM for  trip exp
    It's because "The estimated cost in plan and request are now included into fund management. So if you have active funds management, the entered estimated cost are used to make availability check and commitment. Therefore you must create an expense type in view V_T706B1. Under 'amounts are' you have to choose 'estimated cost, no reimbursement to employee'."
    How ever, because the linkage with funds management, I faced the problem and also ckecked out the reason from SAP Help that "After the trip takes place, the user needs to manually delete the automatically created receipt in the expense report."
    Anybody can provide the solution how to automatically delete this receipt before user create the expense report??
    Thanks
    Daniel

    Hi Francis,
    Check the BADI "TRIP_WEB_CHECK" method "USER_CHECK_GENERAL_DATA".
    Here based on the schema you can modify the "estimated cost" field.
    Hope it helps.
