DataMerge to a pdf not in memory InDesign(cc2014) JavaScript

I am having an issue with the file merging in ram not to a pdf document.
When I am merging 20 thousand records having it merge in ram not only takes for ever it some times runs out of ram.
any ideas? This is my Current code.
              var jobNumber = prompt("what is your job number");
             // Setting the Folder to get the indesign and the Data File file from.
            var myTemplateFolder = Folder("~/Documents/hotfolder/template/");
            var myDataFolder = Folder ("~/Documents/hotfolder/data/");
            // Retrieving the Indesign FIle
            var myTemplates = myTemplateFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
            var myDataSet = myDataFolder.getFiles("*.csv");
            //Open the Template and Declare its value of myDocument
            var myDocument = app.open(File( myTemplates ));
            // Turning on the BackGround Layer For Proofing
            var myLayer = app.documents.item(0).layers.item("Background");
            myLayer.visible = false ;
            //Setting the data source to be merged    
            myDocument.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource(File(myDataSet));
            // Merging the Records and creating the overset text document to make sure nothing is wrong with the file.     
            myDocument.dataMergeProperties.mergeRecords(File("~/Documents/hotfolder/output/"+ jobNumber+"-composedoverset.txt"));
            //close the unmerged document.     
            myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
            //Exporting the merged document as composed file
            app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File("~/Documents/hotfolder/output/"+ jobNumber+"-composed.pdf"),false,"bandwPrinting");
            //Closing the merged document.
            app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
            alert("Complete");

I am sorry I did not ask the question properly.
The attached code does work on my system The template has the place holders already set. (We use this template already to produce about 100 thousand records a day with another system)
the .csv is routed through another routine before it is put in that folder to get rid of any bad characters. It also maps the headers to the placeholders.
The output folder is on my system
the preset is a preset on my system.
What I am asking is how do I produce Directly to a pdf not into memory.
When I try to produce 25 -35 thousand records it fills the memory and gets stuck.
Several plugins do not have this problem I am relatively certain that they are not merging directly into InDesign but into a pdf.

  • Window.close not working on indesign cc2014

    Hi All
    I am developing an extension for InDesign CS5 and above. I have a dialog of type panel, CSXSWindowType.PANEL which opens up on button click. This dialog contains a button for closing it. The click event executes " this.close() ".
    Now, the problem is that for ID CC2014 this.close() is not closing the dialog. Only the default close button at the corner of the window closes it. I have no idea why the dialog is behaving this way. It works in all the other versions.
    Any ideas?

    I went ahead and wrote the below code for close button handler,
    var openedWindows:Array = NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows;
    var i:uint;
    var count:uint = openedWindows.length;
    for(i; i < count; i++)
      openedWindows[i].close();
    This closed the parent application, but the dialog Window remained as it is..
    What is happening? Is this a bug with Adobe?
    What alternative do I have if I want to open another dialog?

  • Cannot open a layered pdf file (64mb only) inside PS CS5 "not enough memory"

    Hi!
    I cannot seem to open a pdf file inside PS CS5, I also created the file some 3 months ago, saving all the phostoshop layers in it. But now I can't open it inside the photoshop to retrieve the layers as I will be doing some changes. Unfortunately, the original psd file is gone for good. When I try to open it, it alsways says "not enough memory", i try to increase the ram to 4g, play with scratch disk setting but still no success. Any ideas? I can send the pdf file over and see if it open up in your machine. Please take note that the pdf file displays perfectly on a reader.
    Please help. thanks

  • PDF error - not enough memory to complete this operation.

    A friend with I think LION has this error when they hit print and then save as PDF on a single 1 page doc.
    PDF :  SORRY - not enough memory to complete this operation....
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi,

    hope that helps...
    Q is there a way to reset the default app?

  • Cannot print to pdf -There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate this document

    I don't know if this is an Adobe pdf issue or just a Word 2013 thing.
    But I'm now using Word 2013 on Win 8.1, 64 bit, 8Gs of Ram and when I go to print a few select pages of my document a message pop out at me saying
    'There is not enough memory or disk space to repaginate this document'.
    When I had Win 7, the same amount of Ram and Word 2010, I print incrementally to pdf okay. Granted, sometimes certain pages print blank and I have to print it again after restarting the computer but at least I got stuff printed to pdf.
    Now I go to print to pdf as little as 1 single page and that message just pop right up like a really bad penny. As far as I can tell, Adobe is up to date unless I'm missing something.
    Has anyone ever had this issue and got it resolved?

    Thanks TSN.
    (how to check if Ram is full )?
    the memory is 8 G Ram. I only have office 365, Acrobat X1 pro, Gimp, and Inkscape installed. The problem was there before I installed the last two.
    I posted on Microsoft as well and the response was that since I could print the document on regular printer without any issues, then it is an Adobe issue. Using the toolbar is pdfing the full document. That takes a very, very, long time besides at the end of it, many pages are blank in the pdf file and then it is a matter of restarting the computer, re-pdfing until I am tired. So I print the pages incrementally.  Any other way to pdf select pages without any problems?

  • Can't open large layered pdf files. Not enough memory

    I have a large 300 M layered pdf file that when I attempt to open eventually pops up the "not enough memory (RAM) message.
    I am on a windows XP Power Spec computer with 1.97 GB RAM I have allocated 1106 MB for memory useage, 12 history states and 8 cache level.
    I have a 187 GB Seagate exterior harddrive as my main scratch disk and a mirrored main drive C with 154 GB of free space as my second scratch disk.
    I also experience a canvas disapearance occasionally when using the polygonnal lasso tool. I can be clicking along and all of the sudden the image disapears until I click again. Annoying but not unworkable.
    Any ideas?

    I can open psd and other file formats of equal size but not pdf's. I switched the scratch discs around to see if that helped but still am getting the same issues

  • Load, edit or delete PDF presets in CS6 InDesign not possible.

    Load, edit or delete PDF presets in CS6 InDesign not possible, it says: The folder may be write protected.
    How do I solve this problem? I also work with Adobe Acrobat Professional X.

    OK.
    Lets back up a bit and take things step by step so we all know exactly what's going on, and what you've tried and haven't tried.
    First, what version of Windows are you using? The use simple file sharing is the very last option on my system (XP Pro) if you open Explorer and then use Tools > Folder Options > and select the View tab. This is also the tab where you will need to make hidden and system files visible, and I strongly recommend showing extensions for known file types as well. As far as I know this option (not to use simple file sharing) is available in XP home, too.
    Second, once you've taken care of the first part, please do a search using the search in Windows Explorer, for *.joboptions under all files and be sure to select more options to search hidden and system files. You may find these files in more than one location, but the bulk of them will be in \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF\Settings (note that this is the same directory as the one in the tree called "shared documents" -- I have no idea why the name is displayed differently in the folder tree than in the path in the address bar). Right click on one of those and select "Open Containing Folder" option.
    The folder should open in a new window. Click the go up one level button in the toolbar (looks like a folder with an upward arrow on it), then right-click the settings folder icon and select either Properties or Sharing and Security (both open the properties dialog) and click on the security tab.
    At this point, in all probability, the allow options are all grayed out because they should be inherited from the parent object. On my system the only user listed is "everyone" and they have full control. If yours is different, please let us know, and we'll go from there. If it's the same we'll try something different.

  • IOS 8.2 and InDesign / layered PDF not functioning properly

    Over the last week we deployed new iPads which came loaded with iOS 8.2. We are noticing that layered pdfs that formerly worked fine are suddenly experiencing buttons and text and even full pages and components completely disappearing when the document is used on the ipad. Wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this? We are following through with this in some other avenues, but am open to any advice.

    @Tina,
    What you're experiencing is a limitation in the PDF readers on all mobile devices. Many of them do not support all the interactive features like buttons and video.
    Here is an article I wrote a few years ago, but it's still mostly true:
    For Interactive PDF, Not All Readers Are Equal | InDesignSecrets
    You'll need to buy a PDF reader like PDF Expert (Readdle, $US 9.99) to view some of those features.

  • How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

    I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
    I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
    panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
    In particular, I don't want to refer to:
    *  page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
    * named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
    Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
    I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
    I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
    Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
    file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
    However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
    Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
    Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:
    http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
    Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.
    Thank you!

    Follow-up post (solution is not available):
    I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
    In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
    http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
    Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

  • Memory full.Not enough memory for operation.

    To the Report Design Team,
    It has been suggested that I post this issue here based on another thread I started: Re: Memory full.Not enough memory for operation.
    The template contains a single 24 bit PNG image as a background in the Page Header section, plus 9 image records from a SQL Server image field over 3 pages (3 images per page).  The images are all JPG at 3000x2000 (digital camera).
    To summarize, we are experiencing three problems.
    1. CR2008SP2 Designer issues a Memory Full error when Exporting to PDF.
    2. Using a 3rd party PDF Printer (Bullzip PDF) and CR2008SP2 Designer generates a PDF, however, the CR2008SP2 API throws a "Memory full" exception suggesting Designer and API are different (see stack trace in linked message above).
    3. With only 3 images on 1 page, CR2008 Designer Export to PDF takes 110 seconds to generate a 24MB PDF while our third party PDF Printer generates the same report in 17 seconds and 580KB.
    Edited by: Don Williams on Sep 30, 2009 6:43 AM

    The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save.  Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
    The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
    When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full".  If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error.  However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
    The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything).  The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
    We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
    We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem.  Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
    Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2.  The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size.  However, the API reports memory full.
    The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing.  When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
    Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have?  Are there known problems with large images in reports?  Do we need to lodge a formal support request?

    I have recently upgraded our Crystal Reports version from Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to Crystal Reports 2008.

  • How do i fix a file where relinking or updating file is too slow and generating 60+MB pdf from a 4mb Indesign file?

    I have an 18 page files linking several pdf images and working with this file is horribly slow.  These pdf images(total of 15) easily take a min to relink or update (pdf's are at max 2mb but majority are less than 1mb).  The Indesign file is only 4mb but when i export or print to pdf I get a 60-70mb file. Exporting or printing these 18 pages easily takes 30 min.  I can't use the file with a higher display quality unless i have the patience of watching a plant grow on that day. I've read a majority of ways why InDesign would be slow. At work im operating Windows 7, Indesign 6 and I have 32MB of RAM.  Extremely frustrating and reminding me of the days of dial up internet.  I've already done a SAVE AS and tried to reduce linked files image size and to no avail has not helped.  I was able to get my 72mb pdf file to reduce to 6mb after using Adobe Acrobat and getting rid of the hidden information but I lose alot of quality in the linework.  I am guessing its because these pdfs are generated from Revit or Autocad is why it might be holding onto some hidden info. So how do i make this file work faster (relink,export,pdf etc)?

    Just to note as well, InDesign only links to files, there's no embedding, you would see a 4mb file, but if it's linked to a 10mb pdf and it has to include all that PDF in the final file then it will be circa 14mb file.
    What you have is a vector heavy PDF and there's no real way to reduce that without losing quality.
    You may have better joy by opening the linked PDFS in acrobat and using File>Print and choose Adobe PDF (or another method) to basically refry the CAD pdfs.
    I'd do this with a copy of all the files though just in case something goes drastically wrong.
    Frankly, I feel it's the nature of how CAD pdfs are made that's causing the downfall here, refrying these and Printing these files to PDF removes a lot of the complicated things happening in CAD files and makes a very dulled down PDF version.
    Once you've done this then try FIle>Export from indesign to make your pdf.

  • In Design CS6 - pdf not printing right

    OSX 10.8.5
    Adobe Creative Suite Design Standard / In Design v. 8.0.2  (latest update)
    ISSUE:  Seems to have arisen right after I upgraded my Mac OS from Tiger to Mountain Lion.  Not sure if there's a connection, however.  I just did the latest update for CS6, so don't know if the prior version of InDesign led to the problem either (it was CS6 but I hadn't done an update for awhile).
    Issue:  I created an InDesign page and then generated a press quality PDF for a commercial printer, who put it thru a RIP and then printed it.  My submitted PDF looked just fine, no issues that I could see.  However, on two occasions the pages printed with things missing…..in one case a header at the top and part (not all) of a block of text in the other.  On the second occasion, two bits of text within two separate text blocks were missing.  This NEVER occurred before, ever.  BUT….this has happened since upgrading to Mountain Lion OS and before updating CS6 to the 8.0.2 version I now have. 
    My printer said "In Design sometimes doesn't distill a PDF correctly", although this doesn't make sense as I've never had this happen before.  The fonts were fine, not protected, everything was present, all colors were fine, it was just sporadic missing text.  I've looked at everything and can't find any reason for this.
    Has anyone got ideas about this?

    Can we assume that you are exporting PDF, not somehow creating PDF via distillation of PostScript? PDF via distillation of PostScript is not reliable.
    And exactly what PDF joboption preset did you use when you exported PDF?
    Quite frankly, I somehow suspect that neither you, the MacOS version, the InDesign version, nor the PDF file itself are the problem.
    The fact that your printer is mumbling about “In Design (sic) sometimes doesn't distill a PDF correctly” leads me to believe that your printer may be the problem. Quite often, printers muck around with perfectly fine PDF files, opening them in (gasp!) Adobe Illustrator “just to check things out and to ‘fix things’.” The problem is that usually there really isn't anything to fix and that Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again not a PDF file editor. The only PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely open and edit are PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator if and only if the “save editability” option is selected when such a PDF file is saved. Otherwise, it is very possible that text and other PDF objects may be lost or otherwise modified, colors changed, etc. The damage occurs when the PDF file is opened in Illustrator and becomes permanent when such a file is saved, even if nothing is explicitly done to the file by the user!
    Alternatively, your printer may have a wonky PDF workflow system with very out-of-date components or a very, very out-of-date RIP/DFE.
    Generally speaking, if you can open the PDF file in Acrobat or Adobe Reader and print successfully to a local print device, you should have no problems of the type you describe.

  • Satellite Pro P100-327: memory card reader does not read Memory Stick Duo

    I just got a P100-327
    http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=121991&toshib aShop=true)
    which, according to that page, is supposed to have "1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)" but the pdf user manual that came with it says that it does not support Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo or mini-SD.
    However, I have a Memory Stick Pro, and a Memory Stick Pro Duo in a Memory Stick Pro adapter and the reader can't seem to read either of them (they should both count as Memory Stick Pro which should be readable right?)
    Should I be able to read my Memory Stick Pro cards? Why can't I since it says I should be able to? Do I need to install something first?

    Hi
    In my knowledge and according to the manual the Bridge Media slot supports Media of type
    - SD Memory Card
    - MultiMediaCard xD-Picture Card
    - Memory Stick
    - Memory Stick Pro
    Please note that the Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro are not the same as Memory stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo.
    Dont mix it.

  • Parts of masked line art and text appearing in PDF and (some) in InDesign files

    Hello Adobe community,
    I was wondering if someone can shed any light on an issue (or possibly 2 issues) I am having. I am using CC on a Mac. Software versions are Illustrator CC 17.1, InDesign 10.1.0.71, Acrobat 11.0.07.
    Firstly in InDesign there is some screen residue appearing on the frame edge. The problem seems to be sporadic and not on every page of a 100pg+ document. The residue is appearing from a vector file of a map and this part of the map is masked with a compound path in Illustrator. The following is a screen snapshot of the Indesign file. (The little red arrow is not part of the file - it's just pointing out the problem)
    The placed Illustrator file looks like this. The following snapshots shows the .ai file, the isolated compound path and outline mode showing what is happening beyond the compound path.
    The horizontal arrow in the above (outline) snapshot shows part of the art that then occurs in the pdf. The vertical arrow shows where the compound path begins.
    When I make a pdf not only does the fine line occur but part of the art beyond the compound path occur.
    First arrow indicates fine line. Second arrow indicates the part of the masked artwork that is showing.
    If anyone could suggest what may be causing this issue, that would be tremendous. I also cannot understand why this happens with just some of the masked artwork.
    Thanks in advance
    Stef
