[CS1][CS2][CS3][CS4][VB][VBS] flipped GraphicLines - bug ...

hi
could you please run this script:
set myindi=createobject("InDesign.Application")
set mydoc=myindi.activedocument
for a=1 to 10
set myLine = mydoc.pages.item(1).graphiclines.add
myline.geometricbounds = array(0,50,200,a*10)
next
(I think converting it to JS shouldn't be a problem)
script "should" draw 10 lines from (50,0) to (a*10,200) - ten lines starting in the SAME point and going down - something like this /|\
could anybody please tell me WHY result is totally insane ?

JS draws me a nice picture. In what way is your result bizarre?
By the way, how case-sensitive is VB? You create the line as myLine, then address it as myline -- could that be the problem?
maybe "nice" - but not what I want ... now I need to find workaround - I need to LOSE extra time ... WHY ?

CS2/CS3/CS4: Cannot get file path in Unicode of the current document on Windows

Hi All,
In my automation plugin I need to have full absolute path of the opened document with any possible non-English letters. Using SDK examples Listener and Getter that come with Photoshop SDK the full absolute path which I obtain is in the default ANSI code page (CP_ACP) and I can convert it to Unicode using MultiByteToWideChar() API. However this works well when I have corresponding to document name language set in the "Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use." For example if name of the document has Russian letters and chosen language in "Regional and Language Options" is also Russian the described conversion works well. If I change "Regional and Language Options" to English for example, full path returned by Photoshop SDK API (AliasToFullPath in PIUFile.cpp) for the document with Russian letters will contain "????????.psd" symbols.
So I need to have an ability to get absolute file path in Unicode. Is it possible in Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4 for Windows? I have searched forum and SDK but could not find info on it.
Is it possible to have native HANDLE of the opened file to get file info using Windows API?
Please advice.
Below given slightly modified code from Photoshop CS3 which I use to get absolute file pat of the opened document.
Thanks and regards,
Sergey
std::string outFilePath;
int32 theID = 0;
SPErr error = kSPNoError;
error = PIUGetInfo(classDocument, keyDocumentID, &theID, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
Handle theFileHandle = NULL;
error = PIUGetInfoByID(theID, classDocument, keyFileReference, &theFileHandle, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
int32 length = sPSHandle->GetSize(theFileHandle);
Boolean oldLock = FALSE;
Ptr pointer = NULL;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, true, &pointer, &oldLock);
if (pointer != NULL)
outFilePath = (char*)pointer;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, oldLock, &pointer, &oldLock);

Hi All,
Does anybody know, whether it is possible to get Unicode file path of the current document in Photoshop via Photoshop SDK API or without them?
Thanks,
Serhiy

All copies illustrator crash, cs2 cs3 cs4 Leopard 10.5.8 powermac 1.8 dual

I crashes every time i open it. it suddenly started happening. i could get just past the opening pane at first allowing me to choose what kind of document to open print rgb etc, the it stopped doing that. i get the opening pane the it crashes, it aslo happens in past copies cs2 cs3 cs4 non of my illustrator copies will open

It could be an issue with your font caches. Go get fontnuke and try deleting all your system and application font caches.
It doesn't sound like a preference issue if it's affecting all the other versions. Do you have the suite installed? Is Photoshop working properly?

CS1, CS2, CS3 Animated Gif Creation Error.

Example: http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/5665/walksz2.gif
Whenever I made an animated gif with a transparent background, the above happens. It doesn't hide the previous frame when drawing the next one. However, when I give it a non-transparent background, it is still fine - http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8080/walklk4.gif
How can I fix this? This happens in Photoshop CS1, CS2, and CS3.
Thanks,
Dave.

Read up on "frame disposal method."
Here's a link to the online PS CS3 live documentation about the subject. This info applies to all the versions you mentioned:

Manage multiple versions(ID CS,CS2,CS3,CS4) of INDD files Indesign proxy for PC

Dear scripters,
I have multiple version of ID installed in my system. I have ID CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4. While I am opening (double click) the ID CS file, automatically the file opening in CS4. For solving this problem I have searched in the forums I found there is a program called INDESIGN PROXY for MAC OSX. It manages the problems well.
Now I am in the process of developing the application same like that for windows using VB. Here is my observation about Indesign proxy.
1. While user double clicks the Indesign file the argument is not passing to the Indesign.exe, but the argument passes to the Indesign proxy. Something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe" "%1"
to this
"C:\Program Files\IDproxy\proxy.exe" "%1"
2. The proxy exe lists all the version of IDs in a dialog box. If user selects CS2, the proxy exe passes the command argument something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe" "%1"
3. Now the file will open in correct version.
I am comfort with VB forums and coding but I am struck getting the file path while user double click's the file. I short need to get the file path of "%1" argument.
I think I am detailed.
Kindly advice me how can I proceed more?
Thanks

I don't think it's a mistake.
"InDesign CS4 (3.0)"
means: this is the OM for InDesign 3.0 (i.e., InDesign CS) that is contained in InDesign CS4.
Wait -- do you mean there might be a difference between "the OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS4" and, say, "OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS5" ?
Why on earth would anyone need that? I imagine it's not because even with versioning the 'older' scripts may not behave the same -- there must be dozens of mails about versioning not working ... I mean, if Adobe knows what causes older scripts to stop working (because, if I understand you correctly, they retroactively change it in the documentation for older versions), wouldn't it be yet easier to not cause those changes?

Need to Uninstall CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 - Uninstall Tool Missing

We've been with Adobe for a long time.
We're upgrading computers and Mac OS on all to Mavericks.
Would like to clean up in the process.
Would like to thoroughly UNINSTALL all CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4 products on all computers.
We are currently using CS5. And, after installing Mavericks, will install CS6 Design Standard.
Most threads point to using the UNINSTALL TOOL ... but no one seems to have a link to where to get it?
It is not in the folders that everyone says it should be. I do not have it.
I hesitate to just DRAG the folders to the trash. I'd prefer a tool that will UNINSTALL proper plists, etc. ... not just trash the AP folder.
Anyone?

I have already been there.
1. In my Adobe Installers folder, there are only alias' folders for "Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium" and for "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2.1". When I "Show Original" and go there and try to OPEN the folder to run the uninstaller ... nothing opens. When I search for "Adobe Uninstaller", nothing is found.
2. I have downloaded and run the Cleaner Tool for CS3 and 4 ... but it was very very fast (didn't see a progress bar while it was working as expected) and CS3 and 4 are still in my applications folder. There was a message on one of them something about "support file missing".
So, this doesn't seem to have worked ... again.
In our office, we used to "trickle down" computers. The person with the oldest computer gets the new on and his goes to someone else. The problem with this has been that the person giving away the computer has been required to "clean it up" before passing it on and people haven't known HOW to do this. Thus, the missing uninstallers, etc.
So ... I want to delete (thoroughly) CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4, including Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager, Drive, Fireworks, Flash, Media Encoder, Stock Photos, Version Cue, SupportAdvisor ap.
Can I simply "drag to trash"? I suspect not. But unistallers don't seem to be present and cleaner tool doesn't seem to work.
Are the instructions for "manual" removal of all files?
Thank you.

CS2, CS3 & CS4 upgrade questions

Is it possible to have both CS2 and CS3 installed and functional on the same Windows machine at the same time? Same question with CS3 and CS4 and, if it can be done, are there any known issues that result?
I need to migrate our graphics station to the newer CS3 (and eventually CS4 ... probably around the time CS10 is released), but I can't afford to lose access to projects during the much slower than normal process of getting the newer version fully ready to go (i.e., all plugins and the many custom files they use within my projects accessible by the newer version). Sorry for the 101 question ... I work in corporate video now and our facilities are way behind the curve so I have now become that way too.

As Navarro said: Should be no problem. Be aware, though, that several of the "Edit original" and "Open in Bridge" type functions will always resort to the most modern version and these functions thus will not work fully in older versions. If e.g. you chose to "Browse Presets" in AE CS3 with CS4 already on your system, it would open Bridge CS4 and you would be able to view the presets, but could not apply them with a double-click as you would otherwise. Also expect some confusion when working with MPEG stuff. You may get warnings about missing CoDecs in Encore and Premiere or weird licensing warnings ("not included in trial version" and such...)

Open CS5 Documents in Earlier Versions (CS2, CS3, CS4)

I am currently working on some documents in CS5.
Others need to access these files but they are not on CS5.
Is there a way to save down the files from CS5 so they can use them in the earlier versions?
Or is there another way besides saving down that I can give them the files for their use?
Thanks for the help!

Yes there is. How many older versions do you have installed on your computer? (You need all of those you mentioned expect for the very oldest one.)
Just like most software that produces extremely complicated files, InDesign cannot 'save as' any old version. There simply is no way to 'convert' most new features into stuff that works with an older version of the program -- think of spanned columns, cross references, grep styles, footnotes, tables.
You can export your document to a format that can be opened with ONE (1 -- that's one, not two or three) previous version. All features that were new in your current version will silently disappear, and will not show up or be visibile or leave any remark or note in the document when opened in the older version.
Apart from that, there have been updates of other parts of the program, even though to the casual user they appear to work the same. One I know of is the Paragraph Composer -- this has been changed from CS3 to CS4, meaning that if you open and edit text from a CS3 document into CS4, it will be reformatted. In the other direction, the same will happen.
Given all this, are you absolutely sure you want to even try this? There is absolutely no guarantee exporting down to one older version will create a usable document. Saving down two, three or more versions is hopelessly optimistic for anything more complicated than a plain-text newsletter.

Como utilizar el master hecho en indesign cs4 en alguna version anterior como cs3 deperdida, hay alguna manera?

Arturo, creo que no estás en el foro correcto; y además, tu pregunta no es clara. ¿A qué "master" te estás refiriendo, a las páginas maestras, o a otra cosa?
Te sugiero poner tu pregunta en uno de estos dos foros, explicando más claramente qué es lo que quieres hacer:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/international_forums/espanol?view=discussions (en español, pero no dedicado específicamente a InDesign, sino que para todos los productos Adobe); o bien,
http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_general (específicamente para preguntas sobre el funcionamiento de InDesign, pero en inglés).
Además, te sugiero que, si preguntas en el foro en inglés, pases primero tu pregunta por algún programa traductor (hasta Google tiene uno); así te asegurarás que la lean. El resultado no va a estar en buen inglés, y probablemente hará sonreir y talvez hasta reir a los de habla inglesa, pero con un mínimo de buena voluntad (que abunda en estos foros), te entenderán.
Basically, I'm suggesting Arturo to post his question, either in the forum in Spanish, or in the specific InDesign forum, while at the same time explainig more clearly what he wants/needs to do. Finally, I suggest to pass his question through a translation program before posting it in a forum in English.

CS3 CS4 CS5 backwards compatible or just backwards?

Have just spent over a month talking with Adobe "Customer Service" - an offshore call centre whose entire capability seems to be to read from a script which says "Sir I understand your problem" - really? - "But all I can suggest is that you purchase CS5" - I had already! - "Or visit our online community".
Over a month - I may include the thread here - including a dozen telephone calls where I was occasionally hung up on and where I NEVER ONCE spoke with a technician who actually understood my problem.
I have client video projects stretching all the way back to Premiere CS2.
When I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 (on PC) I was told to "start all my video projects from scratch" - that was the helpful answer from the Adobe "Customer Service" team! It appears as though the way CS4 handles native media formats is entirely non-compatible with CS3 or earlier.
Two months ago I purchased a Mac and CS5 suite. Again, my CS3 projects are not compatible it seems. One month ago my PC died.
I began a dialog with Adobe "Customer Service" looking for help.
I own Production Suite or Master Suite in CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5 - so I'm not a software pirate - and have a reasonable expectation that I should attract a certain level of support: specifically, I would like to exchange my CS3 PC software for CS3 Mac - seems like the best way to run those older projects - BUT I would gladly take any advice you can provide!!
After over a month talking with a range of "Customer Service" people ranging from well-meaning but un-trained to straight-ahead rude people, I've been told to go buy the software somewhere else!
Adobe CS3 for Mac ships new from $800 to $1500 from eBay.
Boot Camp is an option since I own CS3 for PC but then I need to buy Windows and a Parallel software solution - also around $1200.
I no longer feel like such an evangelist for IP - when this is the service you get as a Genuine Adobe Customer.
I love using Adobe products but am disgusted at the total lack of service.
Can anybody help?

Going from Windows to MAC with AVI, WMV, and converted VOB's (if done) may cause some funny things to happen.
I think I would check up what CODEC's those AVI and converted VOB's are using, and check if your MAC supports them, and also check if your MAC supports WMV.
"basically every kind of media you can import to PP" is probably different on Windows than it is on MAC.

From When Adobe CS3, CS4, Cs5, CS5.5 and CS6 will loose activation support like cs and cs2

From When Adobe CS3, CS4, Cs5, CS5.5 and CS6 will loose activation support like cs and cs2

Nobody can tell you that. CS2 activation was turned off because of bugs in the software that made it too difficult to maintain. so far no such thing has been the case with the otehr versions. Either way, if and when that time comes surely Adobe will let you know and provide a solution...

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3?

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3? It would save me time.

Colin,
>But I did exactly what everyone on here said they did, went onto adobe.com to do our research, saw that the upgrade works from CS2-CS4
Adobe shows there are multiple versions of the suites on their site and clearly points the way for purchasing at the Adobe Store. Just for the heck of it, I also went to MacMall.com and MacConnection.com, two well-known online resellers. I checked their Adobe CS4 upgrades, and they clearly indicate which older versions they are meant to go with. Not quite so clear from MacZone.com and a few other reseller sites I visited.
>I am an IT person for a printing company, and as such I spent hours upon hours preparing for this transition.
It took me just a few minutes to find the correct version I needed.
>no one can tell the difference, and most vendors don't know it exists. We could help you, but you didn't buy it from us."
Maybe the reseller you bought from is just sloppy and didn't mark the SKUs properly. But how is this Adobe's fault -- particularly when other vendors can and DO get it right?
Also as both Mac and Win upgrades are pretty much determined and marketed the same way, what does this sloppiness have to do with Mac market share?
But that said, there is enough good information on the Adobe site that should trigger some questions if you as the IT guy have any doubts and are responsible for buying for your company. At the least, doesn't it make sense to call Adobe and ask which SKUs you should buy? It could've saved hours of research time.
If you truly did your research and purchasing carefully and were still fooled, I suggest you start with a complaint to the reseller who sold you the goods.

Problem upgrading from Photoshop CS2 to CS4 Extended

I purchased the retail box Photoshop CS4 Extended Upgrade (Windows) from a retail store ($349.99 + tax). I am upgrading from Photoshop CS2 and this is the version that the Adobe website says to purchase for this upgrade path. The problem is that CS4 doesn't see my installed, working, activated, and registered CS2 installation so it brings up the next screen offering to allow me to install it as a trial version OR list my qualifying product and serial number. The way that it offers to let me enter my qualifying product is via a drop down box with a single entry of CS3 Extended. No way of entering my CS2 there and it doesn't like my CS2 serial number entered with a CS3 product being shown there (says it isn't a valid CS3 serial number...of course it isn't). Does anyone know how to get this thing to install? Adobe tech support is gone until Monday and then I'll be at work, unable to try anything they might suggest.
Why does Adobe make upgrades so painful? I remember CS2 was a PITA and took Adobe tech support a week to figure out how to get it to install.

No, this shouldn't be extended to extended (I wouldn't expect to shell out $350 twice for extended). This is Adobe P/N 65015396 which their website says is for PhotoShop CS, CS2, CS3, and CS3 upgrades and retails for $350. The face of the box is identified as Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended Windows and the side of the box only says that I must have an "eligible older version of Adobe or Macromedia software." It also says to check the website, which says this P/N is what to buy for my upgrade path. A mess? YES!!!

CS2 to CS4

Can I upgrade my CS2 direcly to CS4 by downloadin the upgrade through the internet or by buying the upgrade CD package?

Make sure you buy the correct upgrade. There's a CS3 to CS4 and a CS/CS2 to CS4.
