Could not run the script. This command requires an active document.

Hi,
I'm receiving a confusing glitch running a batch process in
FW MX 2004.
I want to resize images in one folder and export them to
another. I step through the batch wizard and on commencement of the
batch receive an error:
quote:
Could not run the script. This command requires an active
document.
FW is telling me it can't run the commands on empty
documents, yet the batch is running on all images selected using
Add All during the batch wizard. Confusing. Similar batches have
worked fine in recent days.
Any ideas?
Thx

Fireworks (cs3) could not run the script

When I choose in adobe dreamweaver: command->create web
photo album fireworks (fw) is launched. The problem is that when fw
is launched I got the following message: "Could not run the script.
The file was not found." So the result is a webpage without
pictures and thumbnails.
What can I do?
Thank you for your answer in advance,
sz.g.

[AM] I wonder if this could be related to your InteliMac?
I'll try and repro the problem you are experiening.
Alan I do believe the problem is directly related to the
IntelMac issue with DW & FW having to run in Rosetta.
Unfortunatly the Adobe document FAQ Adobe Support for
Intel®-based Mac computers
http://www.adobe.com/products/pdfs/intelmacsupport.pdf#search=%22adobe%20studio%208%20not% 20supported%20intel%22.
in the section "Are there any known issues with running Adobe
Creative Suite 2, Studio 8, or After Effects 7.0 under Rosetta?"
doesn't say anything about the Web Photo Album command not working.
I upgraded to Studio 8 in mid August because when I upgraded
to an InteliMac I found that the FTP in my older DW MX application
would crash the application and obviously that would make working
on any websites sort of difficult. So I upgraded to Studio 8 and
everything was running fine (albeit slow at times) until about
three weeks ago now when a web site I was working on for a client
called for Web Photo Album and I discovered this problem.
It also turns out that I happen to like using the JustSo
Photo Album extension but it failed in the same way so it must call
on Fireworks in the same way that Web Photo Album does.
[AM] You could try this Slideshow Creator extension for
Fireworks:
Thanks for that tip. Is the Slideshow Creator your creation?
Unfortunalty I needed a "Photo Album" and not a slide show so I
ended up using Galerie (
http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/galerie.htm)
but I like the idea of a slideshow too.
I downloaded and tested your Slideshow Creator Extension and
ran a quick test and I like it but for one thing. The album page it
created had all the thumbnail images bunched up in the upper left
hand corner. I don't know whether that was something I did or
failed to do in setting up the output or is it another InteliMac
with Fireworks? I'll have to take another look at it this weekend
when I have some extra time.
Thanks again for the tip.

FW CS6 Error message: An error occurred. This command requires an active document.

Hi,
I've been seeing the following message while saving active documents recently: An error occurred. This command requires an active document. My document does indeed save.
I'm wondering if a recently-installed (and much-loved) extension could be the cause?
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!

As far as similar problems, I recently opened Fireworks 8 to test the File Management button (the Put command in particular) and found that it triggered an alert message normally produced by Aaron Beall's "Deform to Path" command:
I tried closing the Path panel, and the alert message was still triggered. (I do have that command also available within the Commands menu, but I'm not sure what was going on there; however, since I don't use Fireworks 8 much anymore and never use the Put command, I decided to leave it alone.)
Currently, I use Fireworks CS6. Several months ago, I noticed a "migrating panel" bug, where panels within the default configuration had been mysteriously swapped for one another: The Color Palette panel had been replaced by Lorem Ipsum, while the Path panel had gone missing, replaced by the Color Palette panel—bizarre behavior, to say the least. I tried reselecting a default Workspace (as well as a saved one), but it had no effect on the problem. I still haven't taken the time to diagnose and fix the issue, but I suppose it might have somehow been triggered by the Lorem Ipsum panel, which was a custom installation.

Video rendering : Could not complete the Render Video command because the settings in the file are invalid. What is this?

Could not complete the smart sharpen command because there is not enough memory (RAM)

Hi,
I'm trying to complete the AutoSharpen (Filter->Sharpen->AutoSharpen) feature but, i'm getting the following error when i click on "Ok".
Error in Dialogue Box "Could not complete the smart sharpen command because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
Request the SME's and Adobe community team members to help me overcome this step to proceed further.
I'm using a 32 Bit Win7 OS and have a 4GB RAM on board.
Regards,
Sachin_

As Curt says, Photoshop got more hungry for RAM from CS4, and 32bit systems just weren't cutting it, but there was a trick we used to use to squeeze a bigger slice of the available installed 4Gb
Run the Command Prompt as Administrator, and type:
"bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072" (I can't remember whether the quote marks are needed or not.)
That used to work for me with XP, and it is _supposed_ to work with Windows 7, but I know it doesn't always.
If it doesn't work, or has unwanted consequences, turn it off with:
"bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa"
If you want to research it before trying, seach for 'Windows 7 3Gb switch'.

"Could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

I'm trying to save a file and an error keeps popping up saying ""Could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory (RAM)". I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. I have no other windows open. I checked the RAM allocated to Photoshop, in the Preferences > Performance tab, and I have tried it at 60% (980 MB) and 90% (1483 MB), still with no luck. I tried Purging the undo, clipboard and history with no help either.
I read a couple of other posts that were similar to this and people suggested " resetting the preferences as described in the FAQ." but is there any way to do this without closing Photoshop?
I can't loose this file, so any help woudl be appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear it locked up on you, and with only a GIF saved (which is probably useless). Perhaps I should have suggested Select All / Copy first.
As far as what went wrong... It might be helpful to know some of the specifics:
What operating system are you running?
Do you see any errors in the Windows error logs corresponding in time to this problem, and if so, what are the specifics?
Do you have Photoshop updated to 12.0.3?
What video card do you have, and do you have updated video drivers?
Is OpenGL enabled in Edit - Preferences - Performance?
What kinds of operations did you do since you started the session of Photoshop that ultimately went bad?
What other applications were you running?
What kind of computer is it (specifically, can you install more RAM)?
It might not be possible to pinpoint just what went wrong, but perhaps we could make some general suggestions that might help.

Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder.

So initially, my problem was solved, but it stopped working again. Same issue. I tried installing the media encoder app, but no luck please help!
Here's the original post:
Hello, I'm running a macbook pro retina, and previously I was able to render video with no issue, and now this is popping up. I've tried deleting and reinstalling photoshop, but it was not helpful. I would very much appreciate any help or guidance. Thanks!

Web links in .pdfs inoperable- "Acrob. could not run the browser"

I keep my Adobe Reader updated often, but I've been experiencing a severe inconsistency with the ability to open a (FFox) web page by clicking a link given by the author of any given .pdf., embedded in it. Sometimes it works and opens up the new FFox page OK. But maybe a little more than half the time I first get a security warning, "The document is trying to connect to (URL). If you trust this site, choose 'Allow'. If you do not trust this site, choose 'Block' ". So, I'll click 'allow' and then I get a window saying, "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown error (740).
I've tried to find out more about an error 740, but there's no relation online between any error w/ that # and Adobe. It reads kind of contradictory anyway, since it says "unknown error" but then gives you an error #. Ideas, anyone? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem and have found a few suggestions from different places that may help.
1. Add the site / host to the trusted sites list in Internet explorer. E.G http://hostname or file://hostname or hostname.
2. In Adobe reader or Acrobat go to START>PREFERENCES>JAVA SCRIPT Untick 'enable Acrobat JavaScript'.
3. Create the documents from open office and use the export to PDF option.
The last option seemed to work when adding the hostname to the trusted sites list in IE 8 (IE 6 didn't work)
One thing I noticed when I created PDF's this way is the link was displayed as file://hostname/share/doc.pdf.
When I converted a document from MS Word 2007 and used Acrobat standard to convert the document the link was displayed as file://///host/share.doc.pdf.
I'm not sure why the extra //// were added but it seems that MS word puts the hyperlink in this format.
As I said creating the document in Open Office worked when I added the host in IE 8's trusted site list but this isn't acceptable for me due our SOE restrictions.
Our setup is as follows..
XP Pro SP2
Internet Explorer 6
Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.3

Itunes could not run because some of its required files are missing. please

After trying to run iTunes, I get the error message: "iTunes could not run because some of its required files are missing. please reinstall iTunes." It hasn't always done this, and I've had iTunes for years. Any ideas why it has just started now, and what I can do about it? Thanks

have you tried reinstalling?

Could not complete the ... command because of a problem with the filter module interface

I just reinstalled Photoshop CS6. I'm running OS X 10.8.2 .
I use the Nik plugins suite, and reinstalled them as well. Now whenever I try to use one of those plugins I get the error "Could not complete the ... command because of a problem with the filter module interface."
The reinstallation was a bit of a struggle due to issues on Adobe's end, and I am hesitatnt to just dive in and reinstall without wome idea as to what might cause these errors.
Any insight appreciated.
Stu

Not sure I know what you mean by "disabling the Nik filter folder".
I have the latest updates for the Nik filters and they are compatible with CS6.
Since yesterday I tried uninstalling the Nik filters, manually locating and removing every file related to Nik/Nik Software, redownloading the Nik installers, uninstalling/reinstalling Photoshop, and reinstalling the Nik filters. Same result.
I am pretty sure this is something on the Photoshop end, but am not sure what to do next. Maybe repeat the above and use the Creative Suite cleaner before reinstalling?

Saving 0% 'Could not complete the save as command...'

Hi,
I keep running into this issue on my Mac Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.4 - 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 16GB 1066 MHz DDR3 - 2013) in Photoshop CS6 13.0.5.
I have just finished working on a file and saved the .PSD
The only problem is it appears to be stuck at 0%.
The filename in the current document photoshop tab is followed by '-Saving 0%'
If I try and save the file again via 'Save as' I get the following message:
'Could not complete the Save As command because the document is currently being saved in the bavkground. pleae try the operation again after the save has been completed'
Any ideas how I can force this to resume saving or am I about to lose hours of work?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Mike,
I have no other apps running, the only thing using CPU in Activity Monitor is Photoshop at 1%. I currently have 6GB of RAM free and 100+ GB of hard disk space. There is also 100GB free on my scratch SSD for photoshop.
What do you mean by dismount server? I'm not currently connected to any networks and have unplugged all external disks just incase.
How long will it take to 'error out'? It's been over 30 mins now
I didnt switch apps during the save, I wasn't actually doing anything else at all.
As far as I know this isnt a background save because I went to file - save as. Or do you think this has conflicted with a background save?
I also just made a new document and saved that as a .PSD without any problems. The other is still stuck at 0%.
Thanks for your help

3D Repoussé Could not complete the Layer Mask command

Hello,
I was studying this tutorial: http://www.netmagazine.com/tutorials/create-3d-gamepad-icon-photoshop-and-illustrator
The first time I did it, I reached the result with no problem. But now, a little while later, when I tried to use:
3D > Repoussé > Layer Mask (Step 5 - Tutorial)
The following error message was delivered (image attached):
Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Extended
(X) Could not complete the Layer Mask command . The selected path cannot be converted to Repoussé. It does not contain any closed sub-paths or has an unusable subpath.
Does anyone had an idea of what is happening? Or how to solve it?
Warm Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for pointing out that tutorial.
I haven't walked thru it, but what the error is meant to tell you in this case is the path constructed in AI is an open path. Repoussé requires a closed path to generate meshes. Try going back to AI and making sure the mirrored path file is closed before copying into Ps. Or you can try to modify the path in Ps using the vector tools to make it closed.
regards,
steve

Could not complete the Refine Edge command because of a program error.

This is kind of me being a smart ***… but, I’ve found an Error with the new refine edge. And I’ve solved the problem:
If you check “remember settings” and refine a selection with output set to “New Layer with Layer Mask” and then try and refine another selection when you have an adjustment layer selected, the “New Layer with Layer Mask” is greyed out, but unless you change the output setting to something not greyed out, you get the error "Could not complete the Refine Edge command because of a program error.”.
I’m sure there’s a better place I could have posted this and all that, but there you have it.
Oh, and the solution is to just change the “Output to” to something not greyed out.

Without system information and details on what exactly you are trying to do like what channel/ mask/ slection you are trying to refine in what specific image nobody can really say anything. Such errors are always specific. It would be best if you provided a screenshot of the selection in the image.

Windows XP Pro SP3
Photoshop extended CS3 with all the latest updates.
Asus P5B Deluxe Cpu Duo 2 E8400 4gigs ram.

Thank you so much for your reply. My PC does have the latest quick time version.I went into QT Preferences and under advance, I checked "Enable encoding using legacy codecs" but this change didn't help. Is that the one you were talking about?. Where do I find "GDI-only mode without hardware acceleration" ? The weird part is no matter what format I choose to render out I still get the pop up. Photoshop doesn't even try to do anything at all, just shoot up the error window. Is there by chance something I needed to install but didn't? I install photoshop CS3 as part of production premium set. PP and AF render video just fine no problems.

Could not run the web browser

I've installed Reader 7.0.9 in order to read ebooks. When I try to activate the mobile device, reader responds with "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown error. (0)". Is there a plug-in missing or corrupted control somewhere. Any suggestions. This is XP SP2 (and SP3) on a Dell Precision.
Any suggestions.

Let me amend my comment. Reader 7 might have been tested with XP SP2,
but with all the changes in the OS due to security changes, OS changes
and browser changes, Reader 8.1.3 or Reader 9 would be a better match to
your software.
