Compare PDFs in Batch Mode

I currently have Acrobat X Pro and I'm curious if it is possible to use a command prompt to compare 2 PDFs and have the output\report emailed or copied out somewhere for review? We're trying to automate some daily processes where compare PDFs from the prior day. Any suggestions are welcome if Acrobat Pro X is unable to accomplish this? Thanks!

This happens on Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows XP too - the text only compare in side by side mode correctly traps the redline differences but highlights non-changed text in a very strange fashion.
It appears to be a bug to me as when you open the comments list and click on the highlight it appears as with a type of 'Indeterminate' and the annotation 'Matching text on page 1 of other document'. When I click on the comment I get an Acrobat error dialog box with the text:
'There was an error processing an annotation or link. There was a problem reading this document (14).'
And I can't seem to delete the comments (presumably as Acrobat is failing to read the comments).
Very irritating. Worse, Acrobat 9 (Mac) has no way to preconfigure the compare so a 2.3MB compare in v8 is now 13+MB in v9 and every table edge (in a 150pp doc) is highlighted as different. Otherwise the v9 compare appears very good for on screen in v9 except it doesn't degrade very well to v8 and there is no side-by-side redline mode I can see.
Will be running v8 for a while yet.

Optimize Scanned PDF in batch mode?

I see 'OCR' as an option for batch commands, but there's no 'Optimize Scanned PDF'. Yes I can call the Optimizer in the Output options, but it doesnt reduce the file size like like 'Optimize Scanned PDF' does. I've tried different settings in the Optimizer but I cant come up with whatever 'Optimize Scanned PDF' does.
I cant understand why Adobe did not put this command as an option to run in batch mode.
Is there any way to run this command through Javascript? I'm trying different options.

Acrobat 9 Pro and Pro Extended offer "Optimize Scanned PDF" as an "out of the box" sequence.
There's no Adobe JavaScript mechanism for this.
Be well...

Photoshop CS3 Actions Batch mode bug?

I posted this in the Mac forum but received no responses after a couple of days, so I am trying it here.
Photoshop CS3 Actions seem to have a bug such that when used in Automate > Batch mode it will use the name of the first file opened in the batch session for every file processed in that session. Since that name is used in Save step, this means having to deal with the "File Already Exist" dialog for every file in the batch because it is attempting to save at the designated location with the same file name. If the continue option is chosen each time, the final result is one file with the first opened file name, but with the contents of the last processed file.
To confirm that this is a problem particular to the opening step, I have disabled all processing steps as well as the saving step by toggling them in the Actions panel. I then ran the action in batch mode on a folder containing 4 files. This resulted in 4 opened files all with the same name but different image content.
This was with the "Override 'Open' Action Commands" checked/not checked, and the "Suppress File Open Options Dialogs" checked/not checked. The problem described also occurs when using a Droplet.
By comparison, Photoshop CS exhibits the expected behavior: when an action is used in batch mode to process an entire folder of files, the name of each file is retained after opening and used after processing in the save or export step.
The above described behavior of CS3 is a change acquired along the way to the CS3 version (I do not have the CS2 version to test). But more importantly, can someone please report if the CS4 version behaves as I described for CS3, or if it has been returned to the CS behavior?

Hello Miguel,
I was going to come back to post some of my findings, one of which relates to your staement:
"- The open command created by Photoshop 6 doesn't keep the file's name, it is a much simple open command, and so it opens the file with the own file's name."
In my case I found that my CS version of the "same" action worked, while the CS3 version failed, precisely because the earlier one records less detail for the open step.
My need is to convert dozens of Quark pdf files to GIF and JPEG files for the web. What I found after several days of testing is that it is best to record the opening step in CS3 NOT using a pdf file, so that the "Open As Generic Pdf with 'Name____' " would not be coded into the opening step. Instead I recorded the whole action using a PSD file. Then I can proceed to run it in Batch mode choosing a folder of Quark pdf files as the source location with "Override 'Open' Action Commands" checked, and the "Suppress File Open Options Dialogs" checked, and it opens all the pdf files just fine in some background process, not getting stuck in the details of the file name, and proceeds to cary out the flattening, saving, and closing steps to my chosen target location and uses the finder file name of each pdf files in the source folder to save a filename.ext in the Target folder.
Contrary to what I stated in my original post, "Override 'Open' Action Commands" checked/not checked does indeed make a difference. If it is not checked, the files do open in batch mode, but the other steps are not performed. There is much more about this that I would like to know, and this may not be a general solution for all types of files that a user may wish to process in batch mode, but it works for my case. The main trick is to use as simple an opening step as possible when recording the action, and then letting Photoshop use whatever background process it requires to open a particular file type. I tested this by manually saving a pdf file to each of the twenty some odd formats available in the save as dialog to a Source folder, and then proceeded to batch process that folder with the action described above, and it worked for all except one.
So while there may not be a bug involved in this problem, there certainly is a lack of documentation about how the "improvements" in the opening step in newer versions of Photoshop affect using Actions in Batch mode.
Please comment if you can further explain any of the reported results. In particular, what is the situation in CS4?
Thanks,
Al

Need Expert Help.....Photoshop to slice pages in half Batch mode

I've searched everywhere for a solution to this, but in vain. Pls. Help...
I have taken digital images (color) of a few pages from a printed book. These are all double pages (2 facing pages in 1 shot). Pls. see the attached sample image. http://www.box.net/shared/ay2rqjp317
I want to use Photoshop (Elements 6 / CS 3 or above) to AUTOMATE the following :
1. Cut the single image (of two facing pages) into 2 single page images. (Also if you could suggest a way that picture be split (in batch mode) to NEARLY FIT the single page dimensions of the book).
2. Straighten the resulting single page image (to look NEARLY like a flat eBook - with text in ALMOST straight lines).
3. If at all possible, Remove imprint of fingers (seen bottom of the pic- finger holding pages flat- I've held the same place in all images).
4. Convert color image to black and white, to remove unnecessary details.
5. CREATE A BATCH process of all above steps, so it can be done for the 30 or so double pages I have, creating 60 single pages.
After step 5, I will run Omnipage to OCR text from all pages (This is simple, I can do it) and create a clean B&W book type PDF of 60 pages or so.
Its really important that I do the batch mode for all...this is beacuse in sucesssive projects, I need to digitize a few pretty old books.
At wikihow, I fdid find some useful info, but not for STEP 1 to 3, which are crucial. I'm reproducing that info here, if someone wants to incorporate that into approach they suggest for me.
Pls. Help...I'm just an amateur with Photoshop. Thanks a ton..
-------------------- Notes from WikiHow ---------------
4 # Create a processing action: Photoshop (any version) is a good software for processing, but other software may work just as well. To save file size and increase readability, you want to strip out as much extra color information as possible. You can automate this process: Start recording a new action. Then select Image>adjustments>threshold to convert to black and white - drag the cutoff slider to where it looks most readable. Save the images using File > Save for web and devices. Save in the gif format. You only need two colors, and you may safely crank up the lossy compression. Using this method you can compress six megapixel images down to under 200 kb, down from the roughly 2 mb original files.
5 # Create your pages. Now that you have created your action, open Photoshop and select file > automate > batch. Select the action you just made, as well as the original images you want to work on. Then select a destination and numbering scheme. Run the process and you should end up with a number of compressed GIFs. Review your images again. If any of your images were underexposed or out of focus, they will be illegible.

Someone may be able to recommend some easier to use software, but on machines where I do not have Photoshop I use http://gimp.org/downloads/

Dynamic input fields for Doc Props in Batch Mode; Acrobat Pro 9

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9. I'm looking for a way for Acrobat to automatically fill/replace the Title and Subject fields of the document properties with the file name of the PDF it is processing during batch mode. Currently I have this step set to interactive and must type the name in for each file as it is processed. Is there a script I can use? A macro? Heck! A Hack? It would literally take weeks off of my monotonous work load as the file names are long and there are thousnds of them to be processed.
Thanks,
Photonogon

If you want the file name with the path, you could add the following JavaScript:
title = path;
subject = path;
If you just want the file name:
var filename = path.split("/").pop();
title = filename;
subject = filename;

Compare pdf's

I have created some code in c# to compare PDF's in Acrobat V9. I was wondering how to programmatically determine when the comparison is finished. If you run the comparison by interactively a progress bar is shows, perhaps I can access this. I would also like to know how to access the the summary page programmatically to determine if there are differences. We have hundreds of pdf's to compare that need to be compared before and after codes changes. Doing this interactively would be painful.
Some code snippets so it is understood how I am attacking the problem currently.
            PdOldDoc.Open(oldFile);
            PdOldDoc.OpenAVDoc("old");
            PdNewDoc.Open(newFile);
            PdNewDoc.OpenAVDoc("new");
            object activeDoc = AdobeApp.GetActiveDoc();
            AdobeApp.MenuItemIsEnabled("DIGSIG:CompareDocuments");
            bool ret = AdobeApp.MenuItemExecute("DIGSIG:CompareDocuments");
            Sleep(10000); //For now just wait 10 seconds until a better way can determined to figure out when the compare process finishes
            AdobeApp.CloseAllDocs();

So there are no .Net ways to compare 2 files. I have 90% of the comparison working and seems strange that I can't silently compare 2 documents and create a 3rd document with the differences.
Through .Net and the Acrobat.dll I can:
1. open the old file
2. open the new file
3 open a compare dialog with the 2 file names populated
4. *Manually select my document comparison type and Manually select OK in the Compare dialog
5. Save the compared file through .Net
6. Close all my Acrobat windows through .Net.
Is there no way to complete step 4 via .Net and the acrobat.dll?
Would another much more $$$ option be to go to a LiveCycle module and pay 40K+ for a module to compare a batch PDFs?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Download created XML File in batch mode // Parse XML file into single lines

Hello!
I upload a CSV file and based on that CSV file I create an XML "object". First I uploaded and downloaded it via gui frontendclass, but as it has to be run in a batch in the night I need to upload and download the data via OPEN DATASET.
The import and transformation of the CSV file works fine, also the transfer into an itab with the same structure as a CSV line is ok. I also create the XML file, which could be downloaded easily with gui-download but it is not permittet.
Import of data: I scan the folder and get the filenames into a itab, I loop over that itab and read the single files like this:
     OPEN DATASET ls_convert_batch FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
      CLEAR tab.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        DO.
          READ DATASET ls_convert_batch INTO line.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
            EXIT.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR tmptab.
            SPLIT line AT ';' INTO tmptab-product
                                    tmptab-contract
                                    tmptab-extagent.
            APPEND tmptab TO tab.
          ENDIF.
        ENDDO.
      ENDIF.
The XML file has a strucutre like

At the moment I download it like this:
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
        EXPORTING
          bin_filesize = l_xml_size
          filename     = filename
          filetype     = 'BIN'
*        CONFIRM_OVERWRITE = '0'
        CHANGING
          data_tab     = l_xml_table
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS       = 24.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
                   WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      ELSEIF sy-subrc = 0.
        lv_create_counter = lv_create_counter + 1.
      ENDIF.
But I need to download it via OPEN TRANSFER CLOSE Dataset as it has to run in batch mode.
Anyone has an idea? I am really desperate here. One idea would be to parse the single lines into a string and then create the XML file line by line as text and save it with ending XML, should work. But I don't know how!
Thank you very much in advance,
kind regards from Tallinn, Estonia,
Christof!

How to Upload a file in a Batch Mode ?

Hi, I want to upload a Comma separated value File via RFC to a BW system.
The scenario is the following: From a Portal server i call the BAPI using JC0/JCA.
The problem is that GUI_UPLOAD does not support a BATCH job. At least i get a error when calling the BAPI: Exception condition "NO_BATCH" raised.
How do i upload a file in a Batch Mode ?
Thanks,
Kai

Hi Kai,
Sorry for the delay. The delay was in trying to get to talk to the Basis team.
Here is how we have it.
On the message server of every instance, there will be a SAP admin id that is '<SID>ADM' or 'SAPSERVER<SID>' where SID is the system ID. We use the '<SID>ADM' user id.
On the external NT fileserver, there has to be a user id created on the NT box with the same SAP admin id and this id on the NT box should have access rights do Read/Write.
All of these have to be in the same domain (or different domains that have trust access to each other).
So, there is basis,network and security groups involved.
Once these are in place, we can have file access to the external fileserver box.
We use logical filenames at our place (Transaction FILE).
This makes all the file transfer locations well organized and manageable.
Hope that answers your question regarding this.
Regards,
-Ramesh

Compare pdf:s in Acrobat X

I have recently updated to Acrobat X (on Win 7 X64) from Acrobat 7 (on Win XP) and can no longer compare pdf:s as I used to do.
Comparison of pdf:s created in Word still compare as expected and generate a good report with marked differences. However, the pdf-comparison I need most is of pdf-files created from XML-files and the creation is made in Documentum. When comparing that type of pdf the compare report does not include any marks on the differences.
Anyone who has any experience of a similar problem, or better yet, anyone who has a solution to the problem?

No. Starting with Acrobat 9 it is no longer possible to open multiple PDF files in the same window.

Getting a COM error when calling MenuItemExecute in batch mode

I support an internal document management system for our corporate contracts. Among other applications, I have one that runs nightly in batch mode to store new invoices and connect them via bookmarks to their corresponding “parent” contract files. The original program was created in 2005 with Acrobat 7 (later updated to Acrobat 8) and it worked well for several years. However, a few months ago I upgraded the system to Acrobat 9 and since then the program has not run consistently.
The “program” actually consists of a VB application and two plug-ins. The VB application does as much work as it can with IAC and the JSO bridge, but because the files are (owner) password protected one plug-in automatically applies the necessary password using AVDocDidOpen when the VB application opens the AVDoc. The VB application then also calls the other plug-in using MenuItemExecute. The second plug-in is used to create the bookmarks between the two files by grabbing info off bookmark strings and creating the necessary actions. It also applies the password to the files.
Here is brief outline form is how this is all structured:
pdDocParent.Open
         pdDocInvoice.Open
                 avDocParent.Open (This triggers the first plug-in to apply the password)
                         Create bookmark strings in both files using JSO bridge
                                MenuItemExecute (To create the bookmark action in the parent)
                                pdDocParent.Save
                        avDocParent.Close
                        avDocInvoice.Open (This triggers the first plug-in to apply the password)
                                MenuItemExecute (To create the bookmark action in the invoice)
                                pdDocInvoice.Save
                        avDocInvoice.Close
                pdDocInvoice.Close
        pdDocParent.Close
Since the upgrade, I’m getting a COM error [The server threw an exception. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT))] on a non-consistent basis when the application tries to call MenuItemExecute. When I say “non-consistent” I mean that some days the program will process several hundred files just fine. Other days it won’t process any. Then some days it will not process the first, oh, four files but will process the next 300. Usually it runs fine when started interactively, but even then the error sometimes occurs.
I recompiled both plug-ins and the VB app using the Acrobat 9 SDK (headers for the plug-in and the Acrobat type library for the VB app) but that didn’t make any difference. I added code to check if the MenuItem is available and it is in all cases.
After reviewing this more, I got to thinking that perhaps a race condition was the culprit—that a string hadn’t been completely written before the second plug-in tried to create an action for it. So I added some half-second pauses along the way, but that doesn’t seem to have helped, either.
At this point the only thing I can think of is to rewrite the application as a pure plug-in. But it’s a long and involved application and if I can get the current app to work I’d prefer to do that. I tested it with Acrobat 10.1 and encountered similar problems.
As I said, it’s been working fine up until Acrobat 9. Does anyone know of anything that might have changed with Acrobat 9 that I haven’t considered? Is there anything else I might check? Thanks.

Leonard,
I'd be interested in hearing why you think that because others at Adobe have told me it's OK. Acrobat is only being called by one user at a time and we've paid for a full license.
Thanks,
Dick

RE: Reporting after many forte tasks run in batch mode?

Actually, if you're looking for MAKEAPPDISTRIB (I assume that's how you
create distributable) you can see if the command was succesfull or not.
<<deployrep.js>> This Jscript will look for this string and it will
generate a report based on the next line in the log file.
The script assumes you have an environment variable (DESCARTES_ROOT) that
points to a folder (let's say "D:\TEST"). Under that folder you have a log
folder ("d:\test\log") which holds the deploy.log log file. You can easily
change the script to reflect your systems settings.
The generated report looks like that : <<deployrep.txt>>

Hi,
I would like to know if overnight builds went okay, and therefore need to
parse the log(s).
The issue is that I don't have a proper string to look for (i.e. for
grep).
If I consider 'ERROR", then the following message won't be understandable.
There might a way to cheat with the indentation (i.e. the lines with only
two first blank chars)..
Has anyone experimented such a need ?

Hi,
To trap error message from Forte log, I usually do this
egrep '(EXCEPTION|Exception|exception|ERROR|Error|error)' filename
This takes a regular expression to 'egrep' all occurrences of "exception" or
"error" not matter they are in upper case or lower case.
Hope this help.

Peter Sham.

How to run a 10g report in quiet\batch mode

Good Afternoon,
Please advise if there is a way to run a 10g report from command line.
We use 6i right now and our job scheduler runs reports using "D:\ORADEV6I\BIN\RWRUN60.EXE ..." executable in batch mode on a separate server. We plan to migrate to 10g Database, Forms, Reports. Is there a way to keep this functionality and create a "command" to request the report server to run a report?
Thank you,
Dmitri

So the server (we will call it server1) you have "Redwood Cronacle 6.0.2" installed on has a C: drive and a D: drive. On the D: drive is installed Developer 6i (D:\ORADEV6I). You can install Developer Suite 10g also on the D: drive (D:\ORADEV10G for example). After that, setup Oracle iAS on server2. The good news is you have to change very little code. You can:
Not use the iAS server at all and use the following command (similar to how you are doing it now) in Redwood:
return 'D:\ORADEV10G\BIN\RWRUN.EXE'
||' userid=:USRPWD'
||' module='
||v_path||'\'||p_module
||' batch=yes paramform=no destype=file'
||' desformat=' || v_printer_driver
||' desname=:OUTFILE'
||' cmdfile=:CMDFILE errfile=:LOGFILE';If you want to use the iAS server, you have to consider where the report will physicall exist. You can have it exist on the reports server or you can have it brought back to the client. If you bring it back to the client you will lose the ability to run this asynchronously (or in batch mode). You will have to play with some of these parameters to get it to work perfectly, but this should be a good start. These are examples of have the report results saved locally on server1...not server2:
1. Use rwclient to submit a report request
return 'D:\ORADEV10G\BIN\RWCLIENT.EXE'
||' userid=:USRPWD'
||' module='
||v_path||'\'||p_module
||' paramform=no destype=localfile'
||' desformat=' || v_printer_driver
||' desname=:OUTFILE'
||' cmdfile=:CMDFILE errfile=:LOGFILE'
||' server=server2';2. Use rwservlet to submit a report request
return 'D:\ORADEV10G\BIN\RWSERVLET.EXE'
||' userid=:USRPWD'
||' module='
||v_path||'\'||p_module
||' paramform=no destype=localfile'
||' desformat=' || v_printer_driver
||' desname=:OUTFILE'
||' cmdfile=:CMDFILE errfile=:LOGFILE'
||' server=server2';I would think that Cronacle 6.0.2 can submit a url as a job and wait for the results to be streamed back, so you could look into doing that also, in which case the url you would submit for the job would be something like:
return 'http://server2:7777/reports/rwservlet?'
||' userid=:USRPWD'
||' module='
||v_path||'\'||p_module
||' paramform=no destype=cache'
||' desformat=' || v_printer_driver
||' desname=:OUTFILE'
||' cmdfile=:CMDFILE errfile=:LOGFILE'
||' server=server2';
