copy and pasting a page in an existing document? Copy and paste functions are greyed out? Also tried extracting the page to copy but am alerted that an incorrect structure was found in the PDF file?

What do you mean by "copy and paste a page"? What tool have you selected? Or are you just assuming you can select stuff and copy/paste as in Word?

InsertPage RaiseError: An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file

Hi,
I am trying to build a button script that will create a new document, copy (insert) from the first page of the open document, save it, then close it. I believe the part where it gets tricky -- and possibly not doable -- is that the original (source) document uses a template; full of form fields to possibly be spawned off as new pages.
Given the above, ideally the user of the form can click on the "save new page" button: it creates anj Inserted copy of the first form page, cleared of content if any has been entered, and not including any other pages that may have been spawned.
With the code I am using, it currently creates the copy of the page and it inserts it as the zeroeth page (ahead of a blank page I intend to add code later to delete) and saves it. However, there are a couple of problems that come up with this. First is the error code that opens in the debugger:
RaiseError: An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file
Doc.insertPages:29:AcroForm:Save New Form:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1
===> An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file
Despite the error it does still save the page (form copy) as mentioned above. However, if you try to start working with it, it lets you know that there are no form fields on the document (even though they are all there and seemingly functional).   When I look to edit the fields, it will then ask you if you want to try to recognize the fields. If I click on "yes", it says it was unable to, but then the form opens up with all of the field names perfectly matching the original. If I click on "no" it just opens the page with all of the fields perfectly matching again. So I feel like I am close to being able to do this!
I am using the following code to produce my results:
(In the JavaScript "app" folder, I have the following trusted functions:)
myTrustedMenu = app.trustedFunction(function(name)
    app.beginPriv();
    app.execMenuItem(name);
    app.endPriv();
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction(function(doc, namePath)
    app.beginPriv();
    doc.saveAs(namePath);
    app.endPriv();
myTrustedNewDoc = app.trustedFunction(function()
    app.beginPriv();
    var doc = app.newDoc();
    app.endPriv();
    return doc;
myTrustedInsertPage = app.trustedFunction(function(doc, namePath)
    app.beginPriv();
    doc.insertPages ({
        nPage: -1,
        cPath: namePath,
        nStart: 0
    app.endPriv();
(On the "Save New Form" button, the following code is activated:)
// First split document path into an array
var aPathComps = this.path.split("/");
// Get File Name off end of array
var myFileName = aPathComps.pop();
var pathway = aPathComps.join("/");
var myDoc = myTrustedNewDoc();
myTrustedSaveAs(myDoc, pathway + "/test.pdf");
myTrustedInsertPage(myDoc, this.path);
//myDoc.resetForm();
//myDoc.closeDoc(true);
I apologize for the long post and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to look into this issue for me.
Thanks,
Mike

You nailed it TSN! Deleting the tags did the trick. Thank you so much for your help! Just an FYI for any of you fellow "noobs" that might be referencing this discussion, to open the "Tabs" view (in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI in my case) go to View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panels > Tags. I looked all over the place for that until I found a document that mentioned how to open it.
Thanks for pointing out specifically how to get here. Thanks to the all for this post!
I also encountered this error, "An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file" from my published MadCap Flare user guide. I am attempting to find a way to build a bridge between Flare and Google documents for corporate-wide collaboration. Thus far, it's a crazy challenge finding a way to produce gdocs from Flare output. Neither product makes this easy. The closest I can get is by publishing the Flare doc as a PDF... but then I must break that document down into 2mb chucks...which led me to this problem, after attempting to use the Adobe Acrobat splitting tool.
Question:
What is the root cause of these bad tags. There are a LOT of them! Is this a fault in the way MadCap Flare creates a PDF document?
Yes, deleting some of the tags will allow me to finally split a PDF document. Unfortunately, this error occurs in all my published PDF documents, thus preventing me from automating (scripting) this split and then conversion to Google Docs!
Thank you

Incorrect structure was found in the PDF message

I have a folder level javascript that creates a custom menu item which when clicked inserts a page at the end of the open document.
Sometimes when executed, a dialog box appears that says "An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file" but the page is inserted anyway.
We work with a lot of documents that have been scanned as a PDF. However, as I said it only occurs with some documents....
Is it just the way they have been scanned? Or is there an error in my script? Or perhaps another explanation?
Could I suppress that particular alert since the page is inserted anyway?
---edit----
I have just checked the script with Acrobat 7.0 and although I don't get the 'Incorrect structure was found in the PDF' message the javascript debugger appears with this message in the console:'Exception in line 19 of function anonymous, script folder-level:App:InsertSummaryPage.js' but once again the page is still inserted anyway.
Here is the javascript I am using to insert a page:
trustedNewDoc = app.trustedFunction(function ()
app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privilege
this.insertPages({nPage:this.numPages-1, cPath:"/C/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 7.0/Acrobat/Javascripts/SummaryPage.pdf"});
app.endPriv();
app.addMenuItem({cName:"Insert Summary Page", cParent:"Tools", cExec:"trustedNewDoc()"});
Thanks

Larry – I did what you said and got the form to comply. I combined all the pages and suffered as the software bombed about every third or fourth move I made. For some reason, the form fields work like they should, but the text never goes into the order you want it to. I was having to move the text to the bottom and it would bomb every time I did. I would launch the software again and it would work for about 5 or 6 moves, but every time I moved the text to its proper place in the order, it bombs the program.
But your suggestion was the correct one.
I did get the message that some of the names were the same and I’ve had that happen before. I’ve gotten better at my naming convention. I’m hooked up to a network here and some times when they are doing whatever they do behind the scenes, I’ve had the software not cooperate or not perform optimally.
Our forms here were all built long ago, and the nature of them is to cram as much info onto a page as you can. It’s not uncommon to have 150 – 200 items per page. This makes compliance a real effort.
Thanks again for all your help.

Solution to "An incorrect structure was found in the PDF file"

I was trying to extract a page from a PDF file in Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 using Javascript, and got this error ("Incorrect Structure was found").
For future reference, here's what I did to restore the ability to extract/delete pages:
Go to the View -> Navigation Panels -> Tags. The panel showed that my PDF file had two Document tag "trees". Select the option to "Highlight content". Then, when you select a tag, the corresponding page items get a light blue border. It turned out that one of the two tag sets didn't highlight anything, so I deleted it (leaving one Document tag tree). Then I saved the file, and was able to extract pages after that.
So that's how I fixed it in this particular file. Hope this helps.
Darryl

Funny, I see this error in many spots but nobody from Adobe is addressing it where I can see. The tag idea was interesting (and tedious) but still not working. Looks like I won't make the deadline. Thanks for a whole lot of nothing Adobe...

An Incorrect Structure is Found in the pdf File

After creating a form from a Word document, I am not able to use the extract feature. When I try to extract pages, I get the error message "an incorrect structure is found in the pdf file". Is there a way to fix this? I have tried creating the form multiple times and this problem persists. Thank you!

Hi,
We are not able to reproduce the issue at our end. Which version of Acrobat are you using? Is this a generic problem?
If possible, can you please share a file with us so that we can analyze the issue further?
Thanks!

You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.

TS1702 Numbers keeps copying saved documents randomly and saves them to my Numbers desktop on my ipad. They are greyed out and you cannot open them but the original I can open and its happening all the time to eery document

I have numbers on my ipad 2, I have saved documents I have created in a folder so far so good. For some odd reason when I open Numbers before I anything it autocopies every single document saved, and there are about 50 documents. When it saves them the Numbers Icon is greyed out, the originals are still in colour. I can open the originals but cannot open the copies which I have to delete every single time. What is happening?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many (not all) documents that cannot be opened in either Pages '09 or Pages 5. They show on my doc lists, but are greyed out so I can't try to change extensions or anything else. Some are PDFs.

Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many documents, but not all, that cannot be opened in either Pages 5 or in Pages '09. The names show in my document lists, but are greyed out. They do not show any extensions, but I'm sure at seast some of them are PDFs. As I cannot open them, I am unable to try to experiment with any solutions - I am not tech savvy, but can sometimes fix things by trial and error. I have no issues with sharing documents as I have no other devices. I just want to be able to open my saved documents! Also, the documents I can open have to be persistently coaxed to open to a point that it is extremely aggravating. I am not so happy with this recent "upgrade." Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You use Finder to find stuff. It is what you use to look at where your files are kept and to rename, move or trash them. If you double click on a file in Finder it finds the right software to open it for you.
To open particular files you use the right software for each type. Usually, but not always, the software that made the file.
Pages opens files ending in .pages. Also .txt, .rtf, and doc.
Pages 5 is the latest (but certainly not the greatest) version of Pages. It has trouble opening all sorts of files including the older Pages '09 files but it will still do it.
Unfortunately Apple has chosen for Pages 5 to also save its files as exactly the same file extension .pages despite it being a different format that can not be opened by the older Pages '09.
As we all know Apple is wise and great beyond belief and would not do something that on the face of it looks extraordinarily stupid and shortsighted. Therefore we know that it must be our fault and we are not holding the software right. Because we are bad users, we must be punished, by either having to use Pages 5 or jump through hoops to avoid using Pages 5.
If you have installed Pages 5 any .pages file (old or new) will be opened by Pages 5. If you then save the file, Pages 5 will change the file format. So don't open your files with Pages 5 and don't save them if you do.
To stop Pages 5 opening and resaving your old files, you need to drag it to the trash and empty it.
When it is no longer around to annoy you, you can go back to using Pages 09.

Get and Put options are greyed out in DW CS4

I am a fairly green Dreamweaver user, and recently (finally) upgraded from MX4 to CS4. I am trying to get a file from my local c:drive and both the get and put functions are greyed out. Any idea how to enable these functions? I do not have the file that I wish to transfer open.

When you say you are trying to get a file from your local c:drive, dio you mean that you are trying to import a file into your site from elsewhere on your computer, rather than 'getting' it from your remote server. If you are trying to import a file from your local c:drive don't use the 'get' or 'put' buttons because they are just for remote connections, instead just use windows explorer to locate the file then either copy or cut and paste the file into the folder for your site.

Has anyone experience a problem with not being able to add a drumbeat loop to a prerecorded project? When I open the loop browser, there are only a few options available. The rest are greyed out. I can only choose individual drum sounds, not full beats

I have created a project and recorded 2 tracks, one with a guitar and the other vocals. I would like to add a drum loop, but when I pull up the loop browser, all of the normal selections aren't available. Some are greyed out, including "Beats". "All Drums" is available, but when I click on it it pulls up some cymbal sounds only. I've opened some old recordings in GB to see if this is a consistent issue, but it's not. Only this one project won't allow me to use drum loops. Which leads me to believe there is something I have selected or not selected within the project that's not allowing me to see all the loops. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
G Clef

The Function Buttons are Greyed Out in Numbers

I am new to Numbers having used Excel for years. I am trying to add up a column of figures but when I highlight the column and click the 'Function' button at the top of the page, all the functions are greyed out so not usable. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
I am using Numbers 3.1, downloaded on Saturday.
Thanks

clarie,
select multiple columns, then drag the quick sum tag or use the formula:
=sum(<RANGE1>, <RANGE2>, <RANGE3>, ...)
where <RANGE1> thru <RANGEn> are any valid ranges
e.g.
=sum(A:C) will sum columns which would be the same thing as:
=sum(A, B, C)
you can also sum rows 1, 4, and 7 like this:
=sum(1:1, 4:4, 7:7)

Exporting Slide Show- Invalid media was found in the movie

I have been trying all day to send a photo album to Itunes to put on my Ipod. Every time I try I eventually get the message that Invalid Media Data was found in the movie. What does this mean and how to I fix this.

I am having the same problem. I am exporting a slide show (450 pics) and after A LONG TIME (probably double the previous time it took in the previous iPhoto), I get an error message that says 'Invalid Media Data was found in the Movie'. I also thought it might be protected mp3s (I have music with the slideshow) and I found one 'possible' problem song file, but after I corrected it, I get the same error.
I have noticed that iPhoto 09 gives an import error for some types of .jpeg files (in particular those imported after scanning using the Image Capture program). I also noticed as I was editing the slide show that there are 5-6 pictures that come up black when you flip thru them in the viewer/editor. They show up in the scan, but do not in the viewer.
I have run the slideshow in 'play' mode several times without issue. I urgently need this file for tomorrow. If anyone has any suggestions on workarounds today, I would appreciate it.

Itunes music and ipod music are greyed out, can't click them why?

I have about 2,400 songs and only 5 of them i can click and listen on my new ipod touch 5g. i have itunes the newest one, and most of the songs are greyed out also on itunes. so i cant play them on itunes and my ipod. what the ****? i usually download music and drag the file to itunes and also drag it to a folder where i keep all my song files incase it ever needs a "locate file". When i click sync it syncs the music but when it says a song can't be read or written it stops the entire sync process. What do i do?

Do all the songs play in iTunes? If so then:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The acrobat reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a browser

The subject says it all. I'm unable to open a link to a pdf file.
I'm using Mozilla on a Win 2000 machine.
Version 8.1.2 worked fine. I see some people have reverted back to this version. Is that the only fix?

"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
Here's the simple solution:
1. Open Adobe 9
2. Select Help on main Toolbar
3. Select "Repair Adobe Reader Installation"
Yes, but make sure that all previous versions of Acrobat and Reader have been removed from your computer.
I had on Vista Acrobat Reader 5 and 9 because sometimes was problem with printouts in duplex on Acrobat Reader version 7,8 and 9.
You can have more then one version of adobe reader on your computer.
I had to uninstall this Acrobat Reader 5 and select Repair Adobe Reader Installation on Adobe Reader 9.3.3 version.
Success.
