Captions displayed in PDF created in Bridge?

Hello,
I'm trying to create PDF of about 20 images with only one image per page, and I want the caption to display underneath the image on the page. I've played around a bit with the overlay options but only seem to get the filename to show up and can't get the meta-data entered caption to show.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I'm using Bridge in CS6.
Thanks!
Glenna

Does anyone know how to do this?
Sadly enough you can't do so using Bridge Output Module. While it can create very nice contact sheets the options are indeed very limited.
Maybe a third party application or a custom made script can do so but I'm not sure about that.
Meanwhile if it is only one or a few times you need it you can create an action in Ps that creates a new document with enough space for the image and a text layer.
Once recorded you only need to run the action, place the image in the new document and copy paste the caption in the text layer.
From the saved documents you can create a PDF in Bridge that show the image and caption. Just a thought

Two page display of pdf created in InDesign CS4 js

Hi, I need to set page desplay for pdf created in InDesign to two page view and I couldn't find anything like that in OMV. I assume it will be setting preferances for Matadata. Would you be able to help me.
Thank you.
Yulia

@Yulia:
You can set all "open"-options with Acrobat Pro and you can automate this with a batch process under "Advanced => Document Processing => Batch Processing".
Also there is a way to do that through pdfmark instructions inside a placed EPS. Documentation for doing a "Two-Up (Cover page)" with pdfmarks is not available in the pdfmarkReference_v9.pdf for the PageLayout-tag. And of course you have to use Distiller to get the pdfmarks working, no chance doing that trick with PDF export.
Here is the pdfmark-code for an EPS you can work with (found and adapted it from the "PostScript & PDF-Bible" by Thomas Merz and Olaf Drümmer):
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 72 72
%%EndProlog
/pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse
[ {ThisPage} << /Trans << /S /Dissolve >> >> /PUT pdfmark
[ {Catalog} << /PageLayout /TwoColumnRight >> /PUT pdfmark
%%EOF
Save the code as a plain text file with the ".eps" suffix. Place it on any page you want to print of your InDesign layout, write a PostScript file and distill it to pdf. You should get a "Two-Up" view when opening it in Acrobat.
Meanwhile (after doing a little research on the web) it seams that all possible "/PageLayout" parameter pairs are indeed documented, but not in the pdfmarkReference_v9.pdf, but in the PDF32000_2008.pdf on page 73:
SinglePage     Display one page at a time
OneColumn     Display the pages in one column
TwoColumnLeft     Display the pages in two columns, with odd-numbered pages on the left
TwoColumnRight     Display the pages in two columns, with odd-numbered pages on the right
TwoPageLeft     (PDF 1.5) Display the pages two at a time, with odd-numbered pages on the left
TwoPageRight     (PDF 1.5) Display the pages two at a time, with odd-numbered pages on the right
Default value: SinglePage.

Odd Display of PDF Created with Pagesn '09

I create the monthly newsletter for a Macintosh user group, Capitol Macintosh of Austin, Texas (CapMac), using Pages '09. The newsletter is exported from Pages as a PDF and is then made available on the CapMac website <http://www.capmac.org/>.
A weird problem is that the newsletter displays as intended when viewed in Preview but not when viewed in either Adobe Reader or Acrobat. In Reader and Acrobat some of the included text displays as light gray and not the specified black.
I've found a weird work-around which is to change, in Pages, the text which displays incorrectly from black(#000000) to a dark gray. (#191919) and then re-export the PDF.
So, the question is am I dealing with an error in Pages or an error in Reader or Acrobat?
The version that is posted on the website has three instaces of text changed from black to dark gray. These are on Page 2 (the text between the bluebonnets), Page 7 (the article), and Pages 9 and 10 (the article)
Many thanks for any thoughts and/or suggestions..

TaliesinSoft,
What you are looking at is an effect of color management where the black text has been changed to a cmyk mix that results in a dark grey.
Why it is happening selectively I can't say, I would have said in the case of the bluebonnet example because it is over the tinted background but then it has also done it on plain white background.
You could try saving the newsletter to a .ps file and using Acrobat Pro (if you have it) to convert the file to a .pdf using your own selection of color management and distiller settings.

Bug Report: Original image location sometimes displayed in PDF created with Word 2013

I found a non-critical security bug in Office 2013.
Here is the issue:
If you drag and drop an image into Word 2013 (I'm using x64 version in Windows 7 if that matters) and then save as PDF (using the default settings) it saves the full file path of the original file in the PDF such that the full path name gets displayed when
you hover over the image. I've only tested this in Adobe Reader XI. If you use the Insert Picture method then this does not occur.

I found this posting as I have now "rediscovered" this issue. I came to the same conclusion - edit ALT TEXT for every image.
However, I think it is confusing that these paths of image file are not considered Personal Information that can be removed using the Inspect Document feature (I tried - was not successful). The list of things to be removed using this wizard is quite extensive
- and some of them less visible than these file paths.
It would be interesting to know if this is going to change with future updates of Word. Why is an ALT TEXT included at all per default? I think using the file path in ALT TEXT should be made optional. Is there a way to turn off this default embedding of
the full path?
As the OP I also used Office 2013 on Windows 7 64bit.

The thumbnails/previews of PDFs created in InDesign CC look dull or cloudy in Bridge CC

The thumbnails/previews of PDFs created in InDesign CC look dull or cloudy in Bridge CC. The actual files are fine and open with the correct rich colors, but the colors don't look as vibrant as they should when viewing in Bridge. It's only PDFs that are affected. The InDesign thumbnails/previews display correctly in Bridge.
This was not happening when I was using CS6. This is only a problem since the upgrade to CC.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you're going to mess with the registry
- create a restore point http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows7/create-a-restore-point
- backup the registry http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-registry
I absolutely plead with all my heart - don't start changing registry entries unless you know what you're doing - or ask your IT department to take a look.
If you don't have an IT department, then source a good professional that can make these changes.
If any way unsure - then under any circumstances, - do not mess with the registry.

Reader 11.0.07 does not display content of PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
Any ideas, anyone?!?

Hi,
Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

Bridge CS6 occasionally displaying wrong 'Date Created' for .NEF's

I noticed this problem only recently, and this the third time it happens (that I know of).
Sometimes my Bridge puts a wrong Date Created (not Date File Created or Date File Modified) on a NEF RAW file, whilst the next one (taken perhaps just a few seconds or a minute later) has the proper date. Strangely the Date File Created & Modified do show the proper creation date.
Example to clarify:

As you can see, it's not a 'stable' deviation.
I could live with it, apart from one problem: the batch rename function only has 'Date Created' as option for renaming with date.
It's also quite annoying for my photography study, since my teachers might get confused by the wrong date in the Metadata when I turn my photo in.
I tried compacting the cache whilst my camera's SD card wasn't connected (so the files aren't 'available' anymore), no difference.
Another thing I tried was to hook my SD card up on a different computer, same result.
So it might be my SD card, but that doesn't explain why the correct date is shown on my D90 itself, though.
If anybody here has an idea how to fix / avoid this problem, help is much appreciated.
Greetings,
Alex

I have never inserted the 8GB card in the D3000 before just a minute ago.
And I just took 7 rapid photo's of my previous post (~1s interval)
All 7 displayed actual date in my camera, the first 4 displayed a wrong date in bridge (24/09/2013, times; 2:12:16PM, 2:12:20PM, 3:09:24PM and 3:10:26PM). Last 3 displayed proper time in bridge.
So yea, I'm pretty sure something is wrong. I'll try formatting the SD card (as suggested before) but however you look at it, this doesn't add up.
edit:
Well I figured out one thing: if I view the photo's directly on my SD card through bridge, it shows the same date for Date Created, Date File Created and Date File Modified.
Quite logical, to be honest, since I am viewing the date the file was created on the camera.
However, if I export photo's with Adobe Photo Downloader (or whatever it's called again), it displays the date those copies were created (by Date File Created). Date File Modified is still ~the same as Date Created since it hasn't been modified since the original creation.
edit2:
The formatting seems to have solved the issue, for now anyway. Still have no clue why the SD card got such (occasional) cases of drunkness.

PDF created using Java iText package - Text not editable and not displaying font properties on Acrobat

Hi,
I have an issue in editing the text and viewing the font properties of a text region on a PDF created using Java iText package.
I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and the option Tools -> Advanced Editing -> TouchUp Text Tool.
The strange behaviour is that, I have 2 PDFs created out of the same base PDF and text added via Java iText package with the same Text, Font and other properties.
One of the PDF has the text region editable on Acrobat but the other one has the text region which is not editable.
But both the PDFs are editable via Adobe Illustrator.
I have attached both the PDFs for your reference
PDF_Editable.pdf - Editable on Acrobat
PDF_Not Editable.pdf - Not Editable on Acrobat
Any help or insight to find out the difference/issue with the PDF which is not editable via Acrobat would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Madhusoodhan Henryraman

You don't have direct control of the leading of a multiline text field. A common approach is to control the background color of the field with JavaScript since the lines are not really needed when the field is used in Reader/Acrobat. They may be useful when using the form by hand. For more information, see the posts by Max in this topic: http://acrobatusers.com/forum/forms-acrobat/how-do-i-use-multi-lined-text-fields-over-prin ted-line-area-existing-form

How do I view .PDF files in Bridge?

When I returned to Default Settings for Bridge CS3, it doesn't recognize or view all of my recently created .PDF files (some of which were created in Photoshop CS, not with Acrobat.) Bridge is wonderful when it views and displays the .PDF files as graphics, because Windows Explorer won't display .PDF files as images. Bridge helps keep everything organized. Do you know how to restore settings so Bridge to consistently recognizes .PDF files?

Actually, the problems were only in the Web Browsers, not in the email, which for some reason was okay (not great, but okay). I should have been able to Reply or Score or Like in the Web Browsers, too. Oh, well.

Curt, I have spent (or wasted) ten minutes or so more than once looking for the active Reply button or link, as well as the active buttons or links to Score your Answer or register it as a Like. I see what look like scoring buttons, but they don't activate. I don't see Reply anywhere. I simply don't see anything intuitive on the screen on my laptop, running Windows 7. I wonder if using a particular Web Browser, such as Internet Explorer 9 or Opera 11, would be better for Replying in an Adobe Discussion? Anyway, that's why I'm stuck using email, which isn't as effective or advantageous. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem in Replying, and what solutions they may have found?

PDF Security and Bridge Thumbnails

So here is what I am experiencing with Bridge CS5 and Acrobat 9.
I save a PDF with page thumnails. The thumbnail previews in the Bridge display fine. Once I apply password security settings and save the file Bridge no longer displays a thumbnail for that given PDF and just displays the generic PDF icon.
Why? Is there any settings I have to be aware of in order to have password protected PDFs that display thumnail previews in the Bridge?
NOTE: I have applied all updates currently available to CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9.

Why would thumbnails be dependent on the hability to copy text/images? That makes no sense to me: if one wants to cheat and copy the images with screen shots then they don't need thumbnails, they can use the full reader window. That said, attached is the settings of another secured PDF I have here. This one shows thumbnail previews in the Bridge - and also in Windows Explorer. Notice that the "Enable copying of text, images, and other content" is still not allowed. In fact both PDFs use the same security settings. So I guess we must be looking for another reason... could it be related to how the document is converted or optmized?
Both documents were created using InDesign. I often use the same pre-defined conversion profile and both of them have embedded thumbnails that display properly in both Bridge and Windows Explorer before security settings are applied.
Now I am really confused!

Unable to display a PDF image on the page - Mac 10.6

Hi,
Running an iMac with 10.6.8 and Indesign 5.0.4. Just wanting to export a PDF as per usual via File > Export function. However, I keep getting the error message, "Unable to display a PDF image on the page'. No idea what this is and have never seen this error before. The only info on the internet reveals error code 0x2511(9489).
I've deleted prefs, closed down and re-opened Indesign and even restarted the computer. I've also re-linked the images contained in the document and even created a new document and set it up the same, but still the same problem. Investigating further, other Indesign documents still export properly.
The only ones that don't export are 2 documents, both giving this same error message. Both documents are ones where a client has sent a PDF, I've imported into two of these into an 2-page A4 Indesign document (each PDF is 48MB each) and then just added a text layer (using Times) which is properly installed on the computer. I basically have to 'update' course dates for the client and add PDF to the website, all very basic.
I've tried importing a jpeg and other PDFs into the file (replacing the existing ones) and they export fine.
All my software is legal and I've exported this document before now in exactly the same File > Export without any problems (under 10.5 and 10.6).
OK... I've just imported the offending PDFs into Acrobat, optimized and shrunk the file size, re-imported back to Indesign and the PDF export works fine. So it seems InDesign / PDF Export doesn't like large imported PDFs? I think they were originally exported from Publisher, so maybe that's the problem or a file conflict somehow.
Any ideas on the culprit? I've googled it, searched these forums and Apple discussions and haven't found anything. Although I've found a workaround, I do get large files to import and then export. Thanks for any help
Steve

It does sound like a problem with the original PDF files the client sent you. You can check how they were made in Acrobat Pro from the Additional MetaData button on the Description tab of the document properties dialog. It will be under Advanced at the bottom of the list when the metadata opens.
You might be able to salvage them by running the optimzer and not changing the size, or just doing a Save As in Acrobat.

Using the transaction launcher to call a BOR method to display a PDF

Hello gurus,
I have created a PDF icon and an onclick action to open a pdf, that displays on every row of an assignment block in the actions column, but I do not know the technical process to determine how to get a PDF from the IXOS system from the line selected. (even if I know it depends on an ID attribute of that assignment block) I want to to call a transaction launcher with the url for the pdf in the IXOS that has an ID that identifies which line in the assignment block the user has clicked the pdf icon for (does that make sense?)
In CRM 4, in the collection factsheet assignment block, the link was coded into an XSLT which is then displayed in the GUI and you would have a clickable link for a pdf file in a row in a table. That link would be as follows:
         <xsl:variable name="ev_key">SAPEVENT:?OBJTYPE=<xsl:value-of select="attributes/OBJTYPE"/>&OBJKEY=<xsl:value-of select="@KEY"/>&LOGSYS=<xsl:value-of select="attributes/LOGSYS"/></xsl:variable>
             <a href="{$ev_key}"></a>
This will get the file in IXOS and display it, in CRM 4. In CRM 7, the link is an icon in every line of an assignment block.
Here are some questions I have now for the functional side in the meantime:
1) Can we fetch the PDF in IXOS for each line of an assignment block and have it open? If so, how? Transaction launcher, function modules (like ARCHIVOBJECT_DISPLAY) in the OPTA package? (the package for all IXOS related function modules..)
2) Which URL should I call with the transaction launcher? a URL link to the PDF on the IXOS system?? or sapevent:xxx?
3) Do we have to configure a transaction in the IMG to be launched with the attributes listed there? Do we have to link it to any classes/ objects?
4) Do we have to have the code to the logical link dynamically to call the right PDF for each table line? Is it right to put this code in my event handler?? Usually transaction launchers are just in the nav bar.....
5) Are there any existing examples of this or a similar functionality/ logic that I could refer to, preferably in CRM 7 WebUI?
6) Do you have any code to just display a PDF in a new window? Or prompt a download?
One possible way I thought of would be for me to have a logical link defined in the IMG for the transaction launcher, and have the attributes defined for my BOR object that I would call, and pass it different attributes (eg. objtype, objkey, logsys...) and then return the PDF and display it in the UI in a new browser window by itself. (There is a BOR method for my BOR object named 'display_pdf'!!!!)
What do you think would be the optimal solution here? Does my theory of calling a BOR object with a transaction launcher to display a PDF make ANY sense whatsoever???
Please do not hesitate to propose any potential solution. Any partial answers/ links to wikis/ other threads, anything would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Jonathan Laplante

Hi Any help on this....I am still awaiting the response.
Requirement: My requirement is to launch the SE38 transaction on WEBUI using transaction luncher tool and set the parameter on the selection screen.
Issue: The issue is that I am able to lunch the transaction but unable to set the parameter
Steps Performed:
I want to list down all the steps I performed to launch an SE38 transaction using transaction launcher on the WEBUI
1) Defined logical system in tcode CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS
-The logical link looks like this
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!?transaction=IC_LTXE&okcode=ICEXECUTE ?sap-client=300
2) Defined URL & paratemeter wherein the request method is "GET", opted for NON-BSP URL
URL link here is
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!?transaction=SE38&okcode=ONLI
-Note: My selection screen okcode os ONLI*
-The logical system ref is provided here
3) Defined the parameter by giving the screen name like for SE38 selection screen name is "RS38M-PROGRAMM"
4) Configured the transaction launcher of type B - URL type and provided the reference of the URL ID, choose the relevant parameter from the drop down and have hardcoded the value, cheked the box "Save Data in Activity Clipboard
5) Added this in the NAvlink/Bus Role etc
6) Now in the handler class of the TL the code looks like this:
IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER~PREPARE_DATA_FLOW
__gdc ?=
cl_crm_ui_data_context_srv=>get_instance( gv_view_controller ).
__value
=
'ZC_TEST'.
add_parameter(
   iv_name =
'RS38M-PROGRAMM'
iv_value = __value ).
However, after performing the above steps I am unable to set the parameter. Please suggest where am I missing out on. An early response would really be appreciated.
