Can I run an action via javascript?

I would like to know if it is possible to configure acrobat to launch a custom action created from the action wizard on startup. I'd like to automate the process so that a user would not have to manually start the action, but simply start the program. Thanks.

Thank you for your replies. I am new to Acrobat so I appreciate your help and patience. In this case every user does have a license. We have used Acrobat for other purposes in the past. We were hoping to be able to use acrobat for this as well. However it sounds like running an action from javascript or some other source would be difficult. Does anyone know if it can be done and if so how to do it? If not I guess I'll just have to look into other options. Once again thank you all for your input.

Can I control an Applet via JavaScript?????????????

Please Guys! Can I control an applet via JavaScript?
How????????????
Thanks
Renato

Great to see you back, bbritta! Problems with the
reauthentication stuff?The reauthentication was just another annoyance. I was getting fed up with answering posts for a variety of reasons (mostly because I don't have the patience you seem to have).
I got assigned to modify some old ColdFusion code. I thought it would be a nice change of pace having never done it before. Yick... Gak... I should have started over with JSP's, but the user insisted they wanted the old code modified. I have never seen so much cut and paste coding in my life. They actually got hold of the old developer and he was so proud of his code that I didn't have the heart to tell him what I thought of his efforts.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I ran into a problem with an applet I wrote about a year ago and wanted to search the bug database. I reauthenticated fairly easily, but found out nothing had changed.
A couple of days ago, there was a post in advanced topics asking if the forums were any use. I saw Dana respond and I thought it might be a chance to discuss some of the problems I saw with the forum. I came back to see if there was any response, but it looks like there will never be any meaningful discussion between Sun & the members about the forums.
I have tried for a couple of years to just post a link to a search page if the answer could be easily found by searching. It seemed like a better thing to do than just saying 'Do a search!' I'm not sure anybody gets it though.

How can I add a watermark via JavaScript that includes the current datestamp?

Part of my daily work process here is to scan in a huge stack of inbound mail. I then OCR the scans, delete the blank pages, and add a watermark. I've got a batch process set up for the first two steps, but I can't make a watermark for the datestamp itself and need to do so via JavaScript, but I have a luddite-level understanding of it.
As of right now, these are my settings I'm using to add the datestamp:
What I want to do is run a script to do the same thing and insert the current date where I have mm-dd-yy currently, but I don't have the first clue of where to start. Any help you could offer would be hugely appreciated

You can use the doc.addWatermarkFromText() method as a JavaScript step in an Action.
for example
var dt = new Date();
var stoday = (dt.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + dt.getDate() + '-' + dt.getFullYear();
this.addWatermarkFromText({
cText: "Deposit\r" + stoday,
nTextAlign: app.constants.align.right,
nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.right,
nVertAlign: app.constants.align.top,
nHorizValue: -72, nVertValue: -72
See the SDK Help files for information on what all the parameters do.

Can we run abap query via sapnco 3.0

Hi Experts,
I read tables LFA1 and LFM1 with RFC_READ_TABLE on sapnco. Then i convert these tables to entity and join these tables on lifnr property with LINQ.
But this operation takes a long time. Therefore, i want to run an ABAP Query that joining these tables. Can we run an ABAP Query like this on sapnco?
Or how i read a view that join these tables with sapnco?
Thanks in advance

Take care of the problem now. You can continue to use the external drive, but you will need to use fan control software to deal with the fan.

Can I run an action on all open files?

I'm converting some of my images to grayscale with an action. The images are spread across hundreds of folders and only some of the images need to be converted. I want to be able to look at the image to make sure it should be converted (or not, as the case may be). So I end up with, for a particular folder, maybe 20 open images.
Then I run the action manually on each image that is still open.
QUES: Is there a way to select "run action on all open images".
I know I could do it in Batch by moving all the files to a new folder, but every time I try to re-learn how to batch (I only resort to batch every year or two), an hour later I'm still reading the Help manual and nothing has been accomplished. So, an action it has to be, or manually.

Might be quicker to set the action to a hot key, open all files in the folder and then inspect them and if they need the action, hit the key, otherwise ctrl-w to close unchanged.

Can you run continuous queries via Java Extend

I currently am access a Coherence cluster via a Java Extend proxy. All seems fine but I do not see any events coming back from a CQ. I do when using a simple cache listener though. Does Extend support CQ's or am I doing something stupid? The code is attached below.
thanks
Mark
System.out.println("Running continuous query ...");
System.out.println(queryStr);
System.out.println(filter);
MultiplexingMapListener listener = new MultiplexingMapListener() {
public long evtNum = 0;
public void onMapEvent(MapEvent evt) {
System.out.println("Cache event [" + (++evtNum) + "]");
if (displayResults) {
System.out.println(" Details: " + evt);
try {
Thread.sleep(delay);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, null, ex);
ContinuousQueryCache cqc = new ContinuousQueryCache(cache, filter);
Set results = cqc.entrySet();
System.out.println("Initial results returned [" + results.size() + "] rows");
if (displayResults) {
for (Iterator it = results.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
Object object = it.next();
System.out.println(object);
System.out.println("Adding listener ...");
cqc.addMapListener(listener);
while(1==1) {
try {
System.out.println("CQ waiting ...");
Thread.sleep(10000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
}

Mark,
It appears somehow that you have an old version of MapEventFilter (from pre-3.5). In version 3.5, we changed from using evaluate() to evaluateEntry().
Old:
// evaluate the filter
switch (nId)
    case MapEvent.ENTRY_INSERTED:
        return filter.evaluate(event.getNewValue());
    case MapEvent.ENTRY_UPDATED:
        // note that the old value evaluation is deferred, because
        // the event itself may be deferring loading the old value,
        // e.g. if the event is coming from a disk-backed cache
        boolean fNew = filter.evaluate(event.getNewValue()); // *** Line 178 !!!
        switch (nMask & (E_UPDATED_ENTERED | E_UPDATED_LEFT |
                         E_UPDATED | E_UPDATED_WITHIN))
            case E_UPDATED_ENTERED:
                return fNew && !filter.evaluate(event.getOldValue());
            case E_UPDATED_LEFT:
                return !fNew && filter.evaluate(event.getOldValue());
            case E_UPDATED_ENTERED | E_UPDATED_LEFT:
                return fNew != filter.evaluate(event.getOldValue());
            case E_UPDATED_WITHIN:
                return fNew && filter.evaluate(event.getOldValue());
            case E_UPDATED_WITHIN | E_UPDATED_ENTERED:
                return fNew;
            case E_UPDATED_WITHIN | E_UPDATED_LEFT:
                return filter.evaluate(event.getOldValue());
            default:
                // all other combinations evaulate to the same as
                // E_UPDATED
                return fNew || filter.evaluate(event.getOldValue());
    case MapEvent.ENTRY_DELETED:
        return filter.evaluate(event.getOldValue());
    default:
        return false;
    }New:
// evaluate the filter
switch (nId)
    case MapEvent.ENTRY_INSERTED:
        return InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getNewEntry());
    case MapEvent.ENTRY_UPDATED:
        // note that the old value evaluation is deferred, because
        // the event itself may be deferring loading the old value,
        // e.g. if the event is coming from a disk-backed cache
        boolean fNew = InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getNewEntry());
        switch (nMask & (E_UPDATED_ENTERED | E_UPDATED_LEFT |
                         E_UPDATED | E_UPDATED_WITHIN))
            case E_UPDATED_ENTERED:
                return fNew && !InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getOldEntry());
            case E_UPDATED_LEFT:
                return !fNew && InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getOldEntry());
            case E_UPDATED_ENTERED | E_UPDATED_LEFT:
                return fNew != InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getOldEntry());
            case E_UPDATED_WITHIN:
                return fNew && InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getOldEntry());
            case E_UPDATED_WITHIN | E_UPDATED_ENTERED:
                return fNew;
            case E_UPDATED_WITHIN | E_UPDATED_LEFT:
                return InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getOldEntry());
            default:
                // all other combinations evaluate to the same as
                // E_UPDATED
                return fNew || InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getOldEntry());
    case MapEvent.ENTRY_DELETED:
        return InvocableMapHelper.evaluateEntry(filter, event.getOldEntry());
    default:
        return false;
    }It's theoretically possible that we have shipped the wrong version, so I'll check into that. In the meantime, please check and double-check your classpath and make sure that you do NOT have tangosol.jar anywhere! (Everything is now in Coherence.jar.)

How can I take a Snapshot via JavaScript?

I need to set up a button that takes a Snapshot.
Right now I have a button that arranges the view and then displays instructions for opening the Snapshot tool and single clicking the page.
However, if the user changes the view before taking the picture, key information is lost.
What JavaScript code would produce the same result as opening the 'Take a Snapshot' tool and single clicking the page?
That would be the ideal solution, but if there is another way, I'm open to suggestions.

Each form has a large amount of logic determining what options are available depending on what size, control, attachments, ect that have been selected further up the form.
The option categories and number of option categories are all different for different product groups. Different settings need to be specified by the customer if they have selected particular combinations of options. It would be hugly complicated to combine them all together. And it wouldn't be pretty or easy to navigate through hundreds of settings to see what applies to your product...
Maybe one day, when I have mastered creating PDFs. But even so, the file size would be larger and I would expect it to be slower + more random crashing. Trouble shooting or making any fundamental changes would be difficult.

Total nube to jws, need to run ssh command via web or jws?

Ok So we had a developer that created this application that can basically run ssh commands via jws I believe. Unfortunately he is no longer here. I am wondering how you do this? I know tha commands that are already set up, but I have no idea how to implement it into my project.
I am using Struts 2, Java 5, Weblogic 9.2, Spring
Thanks

Have a look at:
http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/
basically you'd need a small webstart client to wrap something like the above library. Best thing is to try with a standalone java client first. Once that is working have a look at turning it into a webstart app.

Is it possible to run an action from an acrobat javascript

I'd like to run an action created in the "Action Wizard", from a javascript.
Is it possible?
Otherwise I need a way to save a pdf from javascript, with the same settings as set up in the action (downsample images and discarding objects).
Can that be done?
Thanks,
Andreas

Thanks for confirming that actions can not be started from Acrobat javascript.
The suggestion to use preflight for optimized save has been done on a couple of questions similar to mine, but never explained in detail, so I'll just add some detail, while exploring it:
I didn't know where to find the PDFOptimizer settings for preflight in Acrobat Pro XI, but it's here:
1. Show the "Print production" pane, by checking it in the small foldout menu in the top of the right hand menu.
2. Under Print production click Preflight.
3. from the Options menu in the top right corner of the Preflight window, select Create new preflight profile.
4. Under "Fixups" you will find many of the Save optimized PDF options, such as Downsample images, and discard object.

I run my iTunes via a external hard drive, however it has lost all it's contents and I haven't backed up! What can I do?

I run my iTunes via a external hard drive, however it has lost all it's contents and I haven't backed up! What can I do?
My iPad contents probably 75% of my iTunes library, but I'm scared to sync just in case in wipes the entire contents. I know I should of backed up but it was one of them jobs I never got round too (will def do now if my problem is solved)
Can anyone help with a solution?
Many thanks

If all of your media is from iTunes, don't worry about it. You can either transfer everything on your iPad from your iPad to your commputer; and/or you can redownload from iTunes all music and apps, and most of everything else.
If any of your media is from other sources, that's not so easily recoverable. If it's on your iPad, you can transfer it to your computer via a third-party application such as Senuti. (There are many alternatives to Senuti, some work just as well and are free.) Anything from non-iTunes sources and not on your iPad is completely gone, unless you have CDs or other physical media from which you obtained it stored somewhere.
At least now you know how important it is to have a backup.

Can we run SQC and cobols via CA?

Hi All,
A couple of questions for you all. I am trying to test CA by creating manual steps. I have been able to run sqr and dms via CA. Here's what I am stuck on
1. Can we run Cobols in CA ? For Test batch cobols like PTPDBTST ?
2. How to run sqc files in CA? for eg-dddviews.sqc, if we give only dddviews in step properties, then the log shows that CA takes it as dddviews.sqr. If we give full name dddviews.sqc in step properties, then CA takes it as dddviews.sqc.sqr . In both the cases, the step fails. How to run sqc files ?
Thanks

Hi,
These are all the steps you can define in CA, also to found in PeopleBooks > PeopleTools 8.52: Change Assistant > Modifying Step Properties and Parameters with detailed descriptions:
Application Engine
Build Project
Compare And Report
Copy Database
Copy from file
Copy to file
Create project
Merge project
Data Mover-Bootstrap
Data Mover-User
DBTSFIX
Deploy file
Execute process
Load Base Data
ProcessScheduler
SQL Command
SQL Script
SQR Report
UpgradePeopleTools
As you can see you, there is not step for Cobols or SQC.
Instead of trying to run a Cobol straight from the CA, you can define a ProcessScheduler step, which will run the Cobol in the Process Scheduler, just as you would initiate Cobol from online PeopleSoft.
You should use SQC's in SQR's, so if not yet done so, create a SQR that calls the SQC.
Now you can use step SQR Report to execute the SQR which will execute your SQC.
