Copying Text Variables still crashes In Design CS6

Copying Text Variables text boxes still crashes InDesign CS6 (or makes the program unresponsive) as they were in CS5. Any solution?

Hey thank you osgood for the reply!
When I look at code for long hours it sort of blurs together, and I miss things... I think that happens to the most of us
Ya I found what was blocking my text fields in my desktop.css
I primarily work through code view, and currently working on quite a few projects kind of makes your eyes miss the small errors.
Thanks again!

  • Crashing when copying text variables

    Hi,
    Since when I installed ID CS5, I've had crashes most of the times I copy a custom text variable from my document. I select it, copy it, and as soon as I move the cursor with the arrows or the mouse, ID crashes.
    I sent several reports to Adobe, but it seems this is not yet fixed. Does someone has the same problem and has a workaround? As it is, I cannot simply consider the Text Variable function as existing (and this was one of the main reasons for switching from FrameMaker, where I make heavy use of variables).
    Paolo

    Ok, this is a typical custom variable of mines. The others all look like this one.
    Since it is rather short, I'll also copy the crash report for the thread that seems to have crashed:

  • How to create Text Variables in BEx Query Designer

    How  can i create Text Variables in Bex Q.D.
    I am able to create characteristic variables
    but i can't find option to create text variables.
    What's the requirement to create Text variables in Bex Q.D.
    When i try to create Text variable for 0calDay.. the variable type is characteristic by Default and disabled.
    How can i create text variables related to 0CalDay with which i need to work in Customer Exit.

    Hi,
    You have to create characteristic variable processing by Customer Exit by considering 0CalDay as a Reference Characteristic
    After creation of the above variable, you restrict your KF with the above created variable.
    Now you can create a Text variable for the description of your KF. This way it works...........

  • InDesign CS3 Text Variables

    I was wondering if anybody could help me.
    Is there a way to export to a PDF from InDesign, and the text variables still function as they would in InDesign?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

    I don't believe that InDesign writes anything into a PDF file it creates that would allow text variables to work in the PDF. There is no concept of "text variables" in the PDF spec.

  • Copying text to the clipboard in AVDocDidOpen event handler causes Acrobat 9 to crash

    I'm trying to copy the filename of a document to the clipboard in a plugin with my AVDocDidOpen event handler.  It works for the first file opened; however when a second file is opened, Acrobat crashes.  The description in the application event log is: "Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 9.1.0.163, faulting module gdi32.dll, version 5.1.2600.5698, fault address 0x000074cc."
    I've confirmed that the specific WIN32 function that causes this to happen is SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hText);  When that line is commented out and remaining code is left unchanged, Adobe doesn't crash.
    Is there an SDK function that I should be using instead of WIN32's SetClipboardData()?  Alternately, are there other SDK functions that I need to call be before or after I call SetClipboardData()
    Bill Erickson

    Leonard,
    I tried it with both "DURING, HANDLER, END_HANDLER" and "try catch," as shown below.  However, it doesn't crash in the event handler; it crashes later, so the HANDLER/catch block is never hit.
    The string that's passed to SetClipboardData() is good, because I'm able to paste it into the filename text box of the print dialog when I try to create the "connector line" PDF.  I also got rid of all the string manipulation and tried to pass a zero-length string to the clipboard but it still crashes.
    Here's the code:
    ACCB1 void ACCB2 CFkDisposition::myAVDocDidOpenCallback(AVDoc doc, Int32 error, void *clientData)
        PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(doc);
        char* pURL = ASFileGetURL(PDDocGetFile(annotDataRec->thePDDoc));
        if (pURL)    {
            if (strstr(pURL, "file://") && strstr(pURL, "Reviewed.pdf")) {
                // Opened from file system so copy filename to clipboard for connector line report
                char myURL[1000];
                strcpy(myURL, pURL);
                ASfree(pURL);    // Do this before we allocate a Windows handle just in case Windows messes with this pointer
                pURL = NULL;
                HGLOBAL hText = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, 1000);
                if (hText)    {
                    try
                        // Skip path info and go right to filename
                        char *pText = (char *)GlobalLock(hText);
                        char *pWork = strrchr(myURL,'/');
                        if (pWork)    {
                            strcpy(pText, pWork+1);
                        } else {
                            strcpy(pText, myURL);
                        char *pEnd = pText + strlen(pText);    // Get null terminator address
                        // Replace "%20" in filename with " "
                        pWork = strstr(pText, "%20");
                        while (pWork)    {
                            *pWork = ' ';
                            memmove(pWork+1, pWork+3, (pEnd - (pWork+2)));
                            pWork = strstr(pText, "%20");
                        // Append a new file extension
                        pWork = strstr(pText, ".pdf");
                        *pWork = 0;    // truncate the string before ".pdf"
                        strcat(pWork,".Connectors.pdf");
                        GlobalUnlock(hText);     // Must do this BEFORE SetClipboardData()
                        // Write it to the clipboard
                        OpenClipboard(NULL);
                        EmptyClipboard();
                        SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hText);     // Here's the culprit
                        CloseClipboard();
                        GlobalFree(hText);
                    } catch (char * str) {
                        AVAlertNote(str);

  • Conflict with text variable on Query Designer

    Hi,
    this is the scenario:
    - On Query Designer i got two restricted key figures: K1 and K2.
    - I'm usign a manual entered variable for 0CALMONTH.
    - On K1 the sales are restricted for the selected month.
    - On K2 the sales are restricted to a range between first month of the year, and the selected month-1.
    Then on a formula i use K1+K2 and a text variable (selected month) for the name of the column. Then, when running the query, the text for the variable can't be found. There is a conflict on text variable when using 2 restricted key figures on the formula.
    How can i solve it ?
    thx

    Hi,
    I assume that your text variable is of replacement type?
    If it doesn't work you can create a new text variable of user exit type and derive its value using entered 0CALMONTH.
    Best regards,
    Eugene

  • Text Variables in Report Designer

    We are creating some formatted reports in BI 7.0 using the Report Designer tool. One of the requirements is that when the report is flitered by a certain characteristic, say for e.g. Country = 'DE', the text associated with the country e.g. 'Germany' should be populated in the header of the report. Does anybody know if variable texts are supported in Report Designer ?

    Also please be aware that if you are using a 64-bit system you need to follow a different procedure to collect the DMP file to avoid us getting  this error from the IDE when attempting to view the file “Debugging a 64-bit dump of a 32-bit process is not supported, please collect a 32-bit dump of a 32-bit process."

    So, you need to use 32bit debugger, if you would like to collect a dump of a 32bit process. So, if your process is 32bit, then you need to run 32bit version of the task manager on a 64bit OS. 32bit task manager is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and the name of the file is taskmgr.exe.

  • Used of Sap text variable with replacement path in Bo designer

    Dear experts,
    I created a univers based on a SAp BW query. In this query I used a text variable in order to get dynamic header columns.
    The text variable is done by using "replacement path" that is the text is derived automatically from the user input triggered by a sap bw variable.
    example :
    the query contains a restricted key figure which shows net values for a selected year based on variable PYEAR.
    The name of this restricted keyfigure is &ZYEAR& where ZYEAR is the text variable with replacement path from the variable PYEAR.
    When generated the univers based on this query I get component &YEAR&.
    When I use this unvers in WebI my result containts header with &YEAR& althougth I selected for example the year 2006.
    According to several how to and white papers on SDN , it seems that text variables with replacement path are supported. So I am disapointed by this result.
    Can you give me advise to get a rigth result ?
    thanks a lot
    Olivier Doubroff

    Hi Rishit,
    I am trying to achieve the same as you, but it seems like text variables in restricted key figures do not work. I am using BO XI3.1 SP3 and SAP BW 7.01 SP6.
    A work-around for me has been to use the "user response" function in webi to create a webi variable that holds the dynamic text title. If the user inputs Jan 2010, I change the input to a date using the "user response" and "ToDate" functions in the webi variable editor. After changing the input to a date I use the RelativeDate to extract 1 month (e.g. 25 days) from the user input. Then I have both Jan 2010 and Dec 2010 as webi variables to use as headers for my restricted key figures.
    The formulas can easily become a little long, but by tweaking the user response string, you should be able to get dynamic headings by using webi functionality. But be aware that you need one webi variable for each dynamic heading if you use this method.
    Let me know if it works or if I can help more:-)
    Best regards,
    Morten
