[CS4, WinXP, JS] bridgeTalk.getTargets() does not return Acrobat

Hi, I recently upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and have a script that communicates with Acrobat through bridgetalk.
(It batch converts pdfs in a folder to eps - it works fine on CS3 and my test station copy of CS4)
The problem is that when I try to talk to acrobat, acrobat is not listening.
BridgeTalk.getTargets() returns:
fireworks,ame,bridge,devicecentral,dreamweaver,estoolkit,exman,flash,illustrator,indesign, photoshop
While BridgeTalk.getSpecifier("acrobat") returns:
null
I've searched the forums and seen this problem in other threads, but I could not find any answer as to how or why Acrobat "unregistered" itself, or how I can "re-register" it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edit: CS4, WinXP, JS

Hi Pat,
I don't know why this works with some versions of CS and not with others -- anyway, it is not officially stated anywhere in documentation that it should work.
But after reading your post, I remembered that long ago I had read a document about programming Acrobat using Visual Basic. Today I reread it again and made a few tests -- and it works.
So we have another option: instead of using BridgeTalk we can use JSObject -- a mechanism that allows external clients to access the same JavaScript functionality provided by Acrobat from environments such as Visual Basic or AppleScript.

  • WebI does not return failed when scheduling a report which only holds parti

    WebI does not return failed when scheduling a report which only holds partial results.
    We have scheduled reports which take some time to run. When they are scheduled they sometimes show successful even though the report only holds partial results. The only indication is when you open the report as webi report you see the warning that it holds partial results.
    When running the report manually, it works file.
    The issue is not in the no of rows in the universe settings because we this unselected. The issue is that it times out.
    The reason that it times out is that a lot of resources are used for loading and processing data when the report is scheduled. When running it manually, it works because at this time the serverload is less. the time in the universe is set to 10 min.
    The version we have is BOXIR2-SP4.
    Ok. Issue identified.
    The question is - why is the report successful when it holds partial results? If this is normal behavior, noone can really trust the scheduled reports, especially when you save it to excel and send it by mail.
    Is there a solution for this except increasing the allowed query time which would not solve the issu but only allow more reports to complete?

    Hi ,
    Currently this problem exists in XI R2. This feature will be part of thenext Service Pack i.e XI R2 SP6.
    This CER will be delivered from IDC Webi and BIP Platform as part of Jupiter Sp6.
    Problem Statement:
         Scheduled WebI Reports which are partially refreshed are distributed to the destinations for Users to View and make decisions. These users arenu2019t usually aware that these reports have u201CPARTIAL RESULTSu201D
    Recomended Solution:
        Allow the Schedule Creator / Modifier to set a parameter to stop the distribution of the u201CPARTIALLY REFRESHEDu201D WebI report.

  • My PC does not return to the source document I print from

    I had a setting control for
    this in XP but can't find the page I got it from.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p> </o:p>
    In ANY application or browser
    this happens.  I print from a specific Excel workbook, by example, when I
    have a number of them open.  The system does not return to the workbook I
    printed from.  This is maddening and causes all kinds of issues.
     Searching the web for this now produces nothing and I know I can't be the
    only person who experiences this.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p> </o:p>
    This is a Windows 7 platform
    in a networked business environment.  I'm running the Classic Menu add-in
    from Addintools because I can't stand the ribbon and have never liked it.
     In Windows 7, I'm running a couple of other add-ins that restore the XP
    use of the task bar properly so one can work efficiently.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p> </o:p>
    None of the add-ins are what
    is causing this issue because I'd run the same Classic Menu add-in on the XP
    box and it had the same issue until I found the work-around that I can't
    remember now.<o:p></o:p>

    Hi,
    "I print from a specific Excel workbook, by example, when I
    have a number of them open.  The system does not return to the workbook I
    printed from."
    If I'm not misunderstanding, do you mean that the workbook is automatically closed after you print from that workbook, right?
    As I know, if we use the default ribbon in Excel, no matter in Windows XP or Windows 7, the opened workbook should be stay opened after you print from that Excel workbook.
    So the question is that: what is the version of office? What is the Classic Menu add-in you're running now? Did you manually download and install it to your system? Could you please share a picture with us about the add-ins you're using?

  • Very Very Urgent Issue: Restricted Key Figure does not return any data

    Hi all,
    Please help me solving this urgent issue.
    created customer exit variable on characterstics version and also
    other customer exit variable on Value type.
    I coded that in variable exit. Problem is when I include these in
    restrickted keyfigure My query does not return me any data.
    But if I remove from restrickted key firgure and put it as normal
    charaterstics I see the variable is getting populated.
    Also in RSRT the SQl generated when these are included in RKF is not
    correct.
    I debugged and know they are getting populated. As when included in RKF
    I can also see the values of customer exit variables from information
    tab.
    I also know that there is data in cube for those restrictions.

    good to know. that you have already implemented similar thing. In our case if employee want to pick a manager he will only be given option from a custom table entries.
    They way i was thinking was that there will be a checkbox that will say "Override Approver"
    and when that will be checked text filed will be enabled with search help restricted to custom table entries.
    I have one question. When I am enhancing FITE_VC_REVIEW and adding field in that view, I m finding it hard to track it. Looks like adding to General data screen will be much easier.
    R u using ABAP memory to track field and use it at SMOD or you are using SAP memory ?
    I am just starting on this one and not expert at webdynpros.. will ping you if i need any more help
    and yes i just added following like in FM HRTRV_IF_GET_TRIP
    read TABLE user INTO userdata INDEX 1
    to get it to load userdata..

  • Search does not return my documents

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created few documents using CM SDK. I could able to see these documents using IFS browser.
    Now I wrote content search method to search document content.When I search for "cmsdk" string it returns 13 documents.But when I search for a string in the document, I created , for example a text like "struts" it does not return any result , though this document I can see in IFS browser.What could be the reason?.
    BTW I didn't create any FORMAT type while I am storing the document. Can any one point me to a document where I can find some instructions on "must and should things to do before search".
    I am using CM SDK 9.0.3.
    Thanks in advance.

  • WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS does not return values

    DB v 10.2.0.2
    OWB repository/client v 10.2.0.3
    A DB function has a call to the Control Center transformation WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS to extract and preserve the metadata of number of records inserted/updated/deleted in a DB table.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    1.
    The control center transformation WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS does not return any values when used under the Post-Mapping Process(mapped to the DB function describe above) in a Map.
    The input parameter ;Audit Id' to the Map is passed from a calling Process Flow. The following query is used to retrieve the Audit Id of the Map.,
    SELECT execution_audit_id
    INTO l_audit_id
    FROM ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS
    WHERE parent_execution_audit_id = P_AUDIT_ID;
    And the retrieve l_audit_id is passed to the WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS transformation to extract the number of records inserted/deleted/updated with the execution of the map.
    Gurus, please advice if the approach is appropriate to retrieve the number of records inserted/deleted/updated by the execution of the map. If not, any alternate method.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    2. The control center transformation WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS returns values when used in a standalone pl/sql block with the appropriate audit_id.
    Is this because the metadata for the Map execution is complete, whereas in the earlier attempt, the transformation is called within the map using the Post-Mapping process.
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    3. Since the option 1 did not return any value, tried other option of calling/executing a transformation(call the the DB function mentioned earlier) after the Map activity is successful in a ProcessFlow. Here, the transformation does not seem to be executing, any tips of correcting this issue.
    Request the forum for some helpful tips to resolve the problem. TiA (Thanks in Advance) for the response.

    In a process flow, passed the pseudo variable to a transformation to run the WB_RT_GET_JOB_METRICS after the map execution. I am not sure if this is the best solution, but it worked for me.
    Still trying to figure how to use the pre-defined transformation when working on expression.
    Thanks.

  • When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card

    When using rabbitmq-jms for vFabric RabbitMQ javax.jms.Message.getJMSDestination does not return the actual destination when it is received from a consumer listening on a Topic with a wild card. I have tested with both 1.0.3 and 1.0.5 clients with RabbitMQ 3.1.5.
    I was wondering if the community was aware of this problem and if there are any workarounds? If not what is the proper channel to file a bug report. An example code snippet is below. The test fails because the TextMessageMatcher expects the destination passed in on construction (second parameter) to equal the desination on the message received (aquired from getJMSDestination).
            Mockery context = new Mockery();
            final MessageListener messageListener = context.mock(MessageListener.class);
            final Latch latch = new LatchImpl();
            final String prefix = "test" + System.currentTimeMillis();
            context.checking(new Expectations() {
                    oneOf(messageListener).onMessage(with(new TextMessageMatcher("MSG1", prefix + ".1234")));
                    will(new CustomAction("release latch") {
                        @Override
                        public Object invoke(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable {
                            latch.unlatch();
                            return null;
            final Connection connection = createConnection(null, null);
            Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
            connection.start();
            Topic wildcardTopic = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + "." + "#");
            Topic destination = (Topic) getInitialContext().lookup(prefix + ".1234");
            final MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(wildcardTopic);
            consumer.setMessageListener(messageListener);
            MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(null);
            producer.send(destination, session.createTextMessage("MSG1"));
            latch.await(5000);
            connection.close();

  • OCIStmtExecute does not return immediately when client is busy.

    Hi.
    I'm testing a very busy multi-threaded client server that consistently generates
    a large number of simple queries through oci. The problem is that, when the
    server(client) is busy, OCIStmtExecute does not return immediately in
    non-blocking mode.
    Of course I have set non-blocking mode and OCIStmtExecute does return
    OCI_STILL_EXECUTING immediately when the server is not busy. But
    when log rotation occurs which concatenates a large text file (~500MB)
    onto an even larger text file (up to several giga bytes), or when I simply copies
    or concatenates large text files manually, OCIStmtExecute returns very slowly.
    (roughly about after 100~200ms)
    However, while log rotation takes place, everything else including other oci
    calls that come before OCIStmtExecute (prepare, define) return fast. So
    for me it really seems that only OCIStmtExecute becomes extremely slower
    when local server (especially the disk) is busy.
    Is there any way to let OCIStmtExecute immediately return all the time?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I knew that OCIStmtExecute would be the only function that causes such
    delay and that was why I traced that call. And so far, I checked several times
    what happens at the exact moment on the server but everything was ok.
    Actually OCIStmtExecute becomes slower exactly when crontab-ed log rotate
    occurs so I think this delay must be a client-side problem for now.
    This server is quite busy and has to respond fast, so it is important to
    guarantee fast response time while a small number of timeout losses are tolerable.
    But as OCIStmtExecutes' first OCI_STILL_EXECUTING return takes hundreds of
    ms it has become more like a blocking call and currently I cannot find any way to do what I want.
    So now everytime such thing happens, the thread waits
    quite long, after the first OCI_STILL_EXECUTING return
    the time difference exceeds timeout limit, and the thread
    calls OCIBreak() and OCIReset() and returns.
