Hi Asha - we have sample code for barcode scanning here:

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.

Creating Bookmarks in form using JavaScript on searched string.

Hi all,

Otto,
We have forms created with bindings as well as document (word document) are being (merged)/populated dynamically.
After it has been compiled I need to do a search for "string" and where the first "string" is matched I need to add a bookmark to that particular page. Bookmarks are used widely in Acrobat and there is a JavaScript to create bookmark available but the code for Adobe LC/ SAP Adobe Form is different. So I need help if someone knows how I go about do this.

Creating a model window using JavaScript

Hi,
How can i create a model window in Java Script??
Please help me. I am new to this.
Regards,
Narahari

if you want to limit yourself to IE, you go look at
the IE JS documentation at
msdn.microsoft.com/library
if you don't want to limit yourself to IE, you don't.Here's the first line:
Here's a window named javascript_1.
When you click on this link, a new window called javascript_1 gets opened and the HTML page javascript_window_1.html gets put into the window. Because the features parameter is optional, you can just leave it out. This will give you the default window you would have gotten if you'd used a targeted href, as in the previous page.
Notice that I put the call to open the window in an onClick. You don't have to put window.open() calls inside an onClick, it was just convenient to do so in this example. You'll see examples of window.open() inside <script> tags soon.
The second link is almost exactly like the first link. It just opens a window with a different name and loads in a different HTML page:
Here's a window named javascript_2.
The third link sticks a new HTML page into the first window. This works because the third link opens a window with the same name as the first window: javascript_1.
Here's another HTML page going into javascript_1.

Help to create outlines using javascript in adobe illustrator cs4

Hi,
Please help me to create outlines using javascript in illustrator cs4.
Thanks
Karthik

The textFrame object has a createOutline() method. So if you are wanting to save a version of your file that will not require fonts then loop thru these items in your document… (Loop backwards btw its easier that way) Take a look at the other posts at the top here as others are wanting to do the same thing… If your document is more complex then you may need to iterate all the way though which takes a bit more work…

How to rotate a art board in a illustrator using adobe extended javascript

How to rotate a art board in a illustrator using adobe extended javascript
how to create mirror image of each textframe content of artboard

1. there's no "Rotate" function, you have to rotate all your objects and then "resize" your artboard to simulate rotation.
2. there's no "Reflect" function either, to make "mirror" images, use the ScaleMatrix function, see this post
Reflect whole objects

How to create new subsite while adding new item to the list by using javascript?

hi,
I hav a task ie, when I add item to the list then subsite will create with that list item title and description . So By using javascript, I have to create subsite while adding new item to the list.
Help me to solve this.
Thank you,

Is your item getting added through Javascript client object model ? If yes, you can write in the success delegate of your list creation method the logic to create the subsite.
function CreateListItem()
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('List Name');
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
this.oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item('Title', 'My New Item!');
oListItem.set_item('Body', 'Hello World!');
oListItem.update();
clientContext.load(oListItem);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.CreateListItemOnSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function CreateListItemOnSuccess() {
var subsiteTitle = oListItem.get_item('Title');
//Logic to create a subsite
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
I have added a sample flow for the above scenario. Have a look at the following lnk for how you can craete a subsite using ecmascript.

Using Javascript and ScriptUI to create a form that brings in a symbol from library

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to pull together the right info to use javascript to create a form to bring in particularsymbols from the symbol library based on the variables taken from the form. I've taken bits and pieces from various sample scripts and tried to make this work, but my problem appears when I try to use conditionals.
This is a limited version of what I want to do, but it is enough to get the point across.
1. I want to select a script that has various dropdown boxes. I would like the first dropdown to give me 3 options: 10, 13, 18
2. I would also like another drop down box that gives me three more options: single needle, double needle, and knife edge.
3. I would then like it to have an "ok" button and "Cancel" button.
4. From here when I click the ok button, a symbol is brought in from the library depending on what parameters were given to the form.
ex. If I selected 10 in the first drop down and double needle in the second, I would like "SYMBOL A" to be pulled from the library and centered on the artboard.
ex. If I selected 13 in the first drop down and double needle in the second, I would like "SYMBOL B" to be pulled from the library and centered on the artboard.
I've gotten the UI to pop up and it works as planned as well as bringing in a symbol, my problem comes when I try to incorporate conditionals and functions.
Here is my script. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Pallette = new Window ("dialog", "Create a Shell");
Pallette.add ("statictext", undefined, "Fill Opening in Inches:");
Pallette.orientation = "row";
var myDropdown = Pallette.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, ["10", "13", "18"]);
myDropdown.selection = 1;
var myButtonGroup = Pallette.add ("group");
myButtonGroup.orientation = "column";
var btnCreate = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");
MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection
btnCreate.onClick = function () {
    if ( MyFillSelection = "13") {
               symbolRef = myDoc.symbols["SYMBOL A"];
        symbolItemRef1 = myDoc.symbolItems.add(symbolRef);
       redraw();
var btnCancel = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");
Pallette.show ();
If anyone has any input, it would be much appreciated.
thanks,

MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection is outside the function, so it will always read "13", nothing is making the value change.
move that line into your function and add the text property to it...MyFillSelection = myDropdown.selection.text;
then do your if comparisons, that will do it.

Also, I tried removing SP.SOD.executeFunc

Kindly suggest !!!

Create link using javascript or other relevant automated process

i have multiple PDF which i have combined using Acrobat pro... the table of content for this pdf does not have link as i had generated it in Word using RD fields. Now, my main concern is it possible to create links using Javascript or any other process.. i am aware of link tool however my document is very huge and the TOC comprises of around 25 pages.. it will be very cumbersome to manually add for each topic and will be difficult to maintain as we keep updating the document content..i would really appreciate if any one could help me in this as i really stuck up in middle of project...

thanks a ton for your prompt response..As i had mentioned earlier, i have around 13 sub documents. i have generated a table of contents for these document using RD fields in a seperate document and saved it as TOC.doc. As these are fields are referring to topic outside the current document, the links are not availabled in word.. i am not aware of any possible method in word to retrieve links for these topics just like how a standard TOC in word works. as i saw it PRO, there is an option to create link, i was wondering if there is any way i could automatically link these topics as in PDF, the topics are in the same document where as in WORD these are different documents.If you could suggest some work around, i would be glad

How do I create a 3D pyramid using Illustrator CC?

I have been trying to create a 3D pyramid using Illustrator CC. All the tutorials I have found have been telling me I need to create a custom bevel, but the Bevels.ai file is not in the plugins folder as it used to be. How do I create a custom bevel in Illustrator CC?
Thanks!

Perfect now you have two such files whiuch ae different
yes, that's perfect. Because that way you've got the origibal unaltered file as a fallback in case you made any error when editing it.
snd looking for trouble when all you had to do was save it and close it.
No, you're not looking for trouble when saving a copy. Actually in the future you're looking into less trouble not having to open the program package again, mistaking the open window with something else and editing in there.
Not like Illustrator is prone to preference corruption.
Preferences have got nothing to do with the plugin folder.
