CS3 [WIN]- ConvertWideStringToUTF8() problem

Hi,
I'm using the StringUtils::ConvertWideStringToUTF8() method in order to get an string UTF8 encoded. I have at input the following WideString "áèÍÖ", that is in UNICODE:
(dec.)= 0x00E1,0x00E8,0x00CD,0x00D6,
so, the output of this method must be a char* like this:
(in UTF8)= C3A1,C3A8,C38D,C396 ... but the real output I'm getting is:
C3A1,C3A8,C320,C396 ... and C320 (Í) is not a valid UTF8 code,so, any xml parser or utf8 validator says that this is not a valid char.
Then, does anybody know something related with this problem? It ConvertWideStringToUTF8() works? Have I to implement my own method to convert a unicode string to UTF8 encoding? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Rajani,
You are right, and PMString is not the better place to work with encoding.
This code is working too:
std::string result;
// pstr is my original PMstring
WideString wsStr( pstr.GrabWString());
// trasnform widestring to utf8 char *
StringUtils::ConvertWideStringToUTF8( wsStr, result );
Thanks for your help!

CS3 Win printing problems

I have been trying to print a page within my file and it will not print. I have tried
restarting program then computer
save as PDF- error "out of memory"
pulling just the page in question to my hard drive and all links
resaving the document as Interchange then printing
removing graphics to find the culprit- seems all would be the problem
resaving all graphics as another name, re-placing them in ID then printing
The graphics links are from Illustrator and saved via network
I do not have an error to go by except I have crashed many times.
Any ideas?

Thank you it worked.
I did what you said and then re-link the files to the new location. I had to print the page in question by it's self and it took approximately 10 min. Is that because of the file size of the graphics? Also they are created in Illustrator but they also contain raster art with clipping masks. Would this cause it to slow down? I'm trying to figure out the best and fastest way to get these printed.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

DW CS3 site cache problem

I upgraded to CS3 with no problems except I now find that if
I attempt to delete a word of pdf file that I know is linked to an
htm page, DW no longer gives me a warning message. This means that
If I do a sync. any updated word or pdf files do not get uploaded
to the server. If I do re-create the site cache the files still do
not get "re-linked". Anybody got an idea what is going on? I have
an awful lot of pdfs and docs linked from my site.
Thanx in advance

I figured out if I drag the file window to the left it will
stay on the left. I thought
before in previous version when you select files to be on the
left the preferences menu they would go to the left. Problem
solved.

Upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac is possible?

Quite a simple question:
Is it possible to make upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac?
If "yes", which are the steps I'll have to follow?
I would like to mention that I'll buy the upgrade software
in Romania, so I'll have to deal with a Romanian Adobe
software distributor.
Thank you!

All right. Thank you!

CS3 Illustrator crashing problem

Hello all,
Lately my illustrator cs3 has been crashing every time I try to save a new file. It is so frustrating after doing all the work and can't save. I work on Windows XP 2002 system. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much!

Hi Jacob, Just so you know, I was in a hurry and no way was able to buy an expensive product to do my artwork project. I couldn't find older TRIAL versions to download without 3rd party attached programs & BS that could be bad to do.
But, I need to go back on the forum to say that I rebooted to try one more time and it worked. Don't know why it didn't work the first time around because it was a fresh open of Illustrator, hadn't been working on it for a month then the first time didn't work.
I don't have time to go back on the forum right now got to leave for work. You can mention you heard this from me if you want so that people aren't misinformed.
thanks for replying

Wine : sound problem

i installed the game sof2 by wine.
the problem is that the sound in the game is bad
do u have solution?
thnak u

You can check winecfg -> Graphics to see if Direct3D Vertex Shader Support is set to hardware. If it isn't, switch it. Otherwise it's probably just a bug with emulating that game.
Here's the linux gamer's howto on the game; but it looks like they didn't have much trouble with it so it probably won't be much help.
Also if you don't mind, please don't post the same thread in multiple topics. Thanks.

Smart Objects Problem : Templates : CS3 : WIN

Hello,
I am trying to create some reusable templates in Photoshop CS3 using Smart
Objects. Basically I want to layout the page with some place-holder photos
that are smart objects and then when I need to create a page simply load the
template PSD, right-click on the smart object layer in the layers palette
and choose replace contents. This seems to be possible and even works
sometimes. However, a lot of times the size of the smart object images
change.
For example I could set a smart object place-holder image to be 4 x 6 -
inches at 300 dpi, replace the image with another image and the size will
then jump to some odd size. I even had it once go to 2 x 10 inches. I
thought the whole point of smart objects was that I could replace the
contents and it would be sized, etc. the same. Well that is one point of
smart objects.
Is there a bug? Could the fact that I have layer styles and rotation and
resize transformations applied to the smart object be creating the problem?
Any way around this?
This is Photoshop CS3, Windows Vista, Quad Core Processor, 4GB of RAM, 8 TB
of hard drive space.

Are you perhaps changing the layer order, grouping or some clipping masks? As usual I'm not working with these features a lot and probably shouldn't advise ;-), but I could imagine that this would affect rasterization and how PS may want to update info that no longer is in the place where it expects... I'd also check the "Temp" directory (Documents and Settings\Rachael\Local Settings\Temp). Perhaps it's simply full and the programs are not able to update the temporary files.

Problem in Getting Child Count And Child Reference of a Group [CS3/WIN]

Hi All, I have Created a group For Some pageItems using kGroupCmdBoss InterfacePtr<ICommand>groupItemsCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kGroupCmdBoss)); InterfacePtr<IGroupCmdData> groupCmdData ( groupItemsCmd, UseDefaultIID()); UIDList*list=new UIDList(grpList);//grplist contains UID of all items to be grouped groupCmdData->Set(list); ErrorCode status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(groupItemsCmd); Till here every thing is working fine. But when i want to traverse through all group item using IHierarchy every time its giving child count as one. InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> child( groupRef, UseDefaultIID() ); int32 grpchildCount = child->GetChildCount(); //always 1 I am not getting why its always return child count as 1. But the same code is working fine when i am creating group using click on Group In UI. Can any one tell me How Top Iterate through group in above case.??? I think when i am executing Group command some document hierarchy is changing becoz of that i am getting issue?? any idea??

Hi Dirk, Thanks For your Reply. ya you are correct I'd call that variable groupHier rather than "child". ---You've omitted the interesting part, how and when you obtain that groupRef. When i am creating group as mentioned above after executing group command i am using. ErrorCode status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(groupItemsCmd); b UIDRef grpRef((groupItemsCmd->GetItemList())->GetRef(0)); I am using this reference to set script label("Group") for that group.till here its working fine group is created and script label is set. Then i am iterating through all page items using UIDList itemsOnPage(database); const bool16 bIncludePage = kFalse; const bool16 bIncludePasteboard = kFalse; spread->GetItemsOnPage(pageIndex, &itemsOnPage, bIncludePage, bIncludePasteboard); int noOfItems=itemsOnPage.Length(); for(int32 pageItemIndex=0;pageItemIndex<noOfItems;pageItemIndex++) { UIDRef pageItemRef=itemsOnPage.GetRef(pageItemIndex); //here i am reading script label if (Utils<IPageItemTypeUtils>()->IsGroup(pageItemRef) == kTrue) { InterfacePtr<IScript>script(pageItemRef, UseDefaultIID()); PMString grpScriptLabel=script->GetTag(); if((grpScriptLabel.Compare(kFalse,"Group"))==0) //comparing with group label to check that this is group { // so it is group InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> grpHier( pageItemRef, UseDefaultIID() ); b ASSERT(::GetClass(grpHier)==kGroupItemBoss); //No Asserts here int32 grpchildCount = grpHier->GetChildCount(); // here i am getting always one } } } I check for Ur suggested Assert But i am not getting any assert. And One more interesting thing i found that the group i have created programatically is behaving fine as group in Indesign UI.But when I want To Ungroup In UI by right on Group item And Click UNGRoup option in menu nothing seems to happen. I am really puzzled.

CS3 + Win 7 64 + Quad Core = Rendering nightmare

I really need some help here.
I installed Win 7 Ultimate 64 with 8 GB ram and a Q6600 quad core processor. I have a WD Caviar black 7200 RPM HD with 32 meg buffer as my OS drive and two WD 7200 160 GB HDs in RAID 0 as a video drive. Im also using a EVGA GTX275 Nvidia card with 868MB RAM and the latest driver.
I have some serious concerns about Premiere Pro CS3s abiltity to render in Win7.
Here is the video I am attempting to render. I am making a Star Wars type intro with rolling text. I have two rolling text titles (each on their own layer) over a starfield video (on its own layer) that is being held on the INPOINT (the star field is). One rolling title starts where the other ends in order to give the effect of one long rolling title off to the far distance.
When I render this....and while watching my CPU Usage gadget, all four cores peg at 100%. Thats good. However, the render takes forever..and crawls. Sometimes it ticks off one frame per second. To make a segment that runs about 1min 30secs, its takes a good 8-10 mins to render. All the while, the four cores show 100%.
What is the problem? Ive tried to defrag. I tried to turn off Aero. Ive run it AS ADMINISTRATOR. Ive run CS3 in XP SP2 mode etc. Nothing. There is no way it can be this slow to render that. Overall, I think I see slow renders in other areas too. And the previews themselves, are choppy.
Tell me there is a fix or a patch or something. This is ridiculous.

Thanks for the input. I ran it again.

Top half of video is missing on imported WMV files. Running CS3 & Win XP Professional

Top half of video is missing on imported .WMV files. I'm running CS3 Adobe Premier Pro with Win XP Professional OS
Hi all,
I just installed my Adobe Premier Pro CS3 for the very first time. I then IMPORTED a WMV file into the Project Frame and then Dragged & Dropped it into the Time Line. All the windows (or Frames) Project Frame, Source Frame and the mini-Project Frame show this video with the top half missing. I’m running Win XP Professional with the latest Service Packs installed.
Please Help.
Thanks
Derek

After Searching the net for a while here, I found a solution to the "Half Screen" problem!
The half screen video problems seen while trying to play WMV files in my CS3 Adobe Premiere Pro program seems to have been due to a recent Windows software Security update made to it’s Windows Media Player programming. As soon as I removed that update, my WMV files now show normally within Adobe Premier Pro.
If you wish to uninstall this Windows Patch / Security Update on Win XP Machines:
No#1 Prior to removing/un-installing the file, shut off "Windows Automatic Updates" and set update preferences to manual. Thus in the future you can select which Updates you want to instal (and which one not to instal) *remember to ignore the KB2834904 update in the future! That is at least until Widows fixes this Security Update / Patch.
A) Go to "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel
B) In the Add/Remove Programs, check the "Show Updates" box located at the top of that window
C) Scroll down to "Windows XP Software Updates" and within that section, scroll down to "Security Update for Windows Media Player" KB2834904 (mine was dated 7-10-2013)
D) Click on the REMOVE button and re-start your system.
If using Win 7 Operating System: to remove this Patch / Security Update the file to remove is: KB2803821 - In Windows 7, go to "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel, click on the "View installed updates" link in the left sidebar, search for KB 2803821 and click REMOVE.
Good luck everyone!

Cross-grading from CS3 (Win) to CS5 (Mac)

I've read some horror stories about people trying to cross-grade from one platform to another but I was wondering if the problem only really came about if you were trying to cross-grade between the same version numbers (i.e. changing a Windows CS4 to a Mac CS4)? Can I just purchase a Mac version CS5 suite upgrade and install it (on the Mac, obviously) if I have the qualifying Windows version suite? Will the Mac upgrade accept the Windows license number and let the install work?

Not without buying it directly from Adobe. The serial numbers and media are platform specific so your Mac upgrade won't recognize the Win serial number.
Another point. The upgrade from CS3 to CS4 is $200 less than CS3 to CS5. If this is something you want to do, I would strongly encourage you to call Adobe quickly and ask if you'll qualify for a free upgrade to CS5 if buy CS4 now.
It will be a complicated with the switching of platforms but it's worth looking into.

[JS CS3, Win] Saving InDesign using app.activeDocument.save

Hello.
I am having problems saving an InDesign document using Javascript.
My aim is to have a box in the document where I will type the filename and path where I want the InDesign file to be saved (eventually this will be generated from a datamerge).
I then want to run a script which will read the contents of the box and then save the document to that filename or location.
At the moment I have:
//SaveText.jsx
//An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
//Saves the document to the provided path
//get contents of the FileNameBox box on the document
var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
//now save
app.activeDocument.save("/"+ varFileName+".indd");
//alert (app.activeDocument.filePath);
When I run the script (with "Hello" in the FileNameBox) the file changes name on the top bar of InDesign to "Hello.indd", but (when I run the commented out alert at the end) the file is not actually saving anywhere.
If I close InDesign and then open it the file is listed under "Open Recent" on the menu, but clicking it does nothing - again the file doesn't exist.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me from tearing my hair out?
Where is my file saving? (Or, if it isn't, how can I make it save!).
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

var myFolder = new Folder("~/Desktop/Test");
if (!myFolder.exist) myFolder.create();
var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
app.activeDocument.save(myFolder.fsName + "\\" + varFileName+".indd");
alert(app.activeDocument.filePath);

Dual Boot Win 7 & win 10 Problems?

I am dual booting this, (Win 10 on my 2TB HDD and Win 7 on my SSD.) and now when i try to boot back to Win 7 my mouse switches off. The thing works fine in 10, and had been workign for years on 7... Anyone else seen a problem like this?
I have tried reinstalling the mouse drivers and it isnt helping on Win 7. Unplugging and pluggung in, the mouse lights up for a split second, but then dies again. switch back to Win 10 and it works as usual. No problem at all...

Hi RobGamez,
Are you using USB mouse?
If so, how about another USB port?
If this is a USB mouse, I suggest you uninstall the USB controller in Windows 7 system and restart to check if you can get it work.
1.Open Device Manager.
2.Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
3.Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
4.Restart the computer, and then reinstall the USB controllers.
