Document JavaScript tool is missing

Hello
I've found this old discussion (see below) - seems like it never came to a solution.
I have the same problem. I can't find the Document JavaScript tool in my Acrobat Pro X. It should be in the Tools menu. But this is all there is:
The installed version on my computer is 10.1.3.
Thank you in advance
Advanced Menu Option Missing
This question is Not Answered.
Nov 3, 2011 11:02 AM
Adobe Acrobat X Pro was recently installed on my pc. I noticed some menu options are either missing or have moved and I can't find them. I am specifically looking for the Advanced menu option. I have searched Adobe Forums as well as the internet and haven't found a concrete answer.
Ultimately, I would like to create a date text field, using JavaScript, that will auto-display the current date. I technically know absolutely nothing about JavaScript but managed to find some information online. According to the Acrobat 6 Javascript Scripting Guide, the directions say to choose Advanced > JavaScript > Document JavaScripts to add a script. How do I do this in X?
Thank you.

Open the "Forms" category and you will find additional options for form processing. You will have create a form or be editing a PDF form to get the Tool Well to change to show the forms task. Once in the Forms task, "Other Task" will appear and within that set of tasks is the "Document JavaScripts..." option.

Acrobat X Std.: How to geht "Document JavaScripts" & "Edit All JavaScripts" Options

Hi,
I am trying to add a date stamp while opening the PDF-Document. For that reason I need to edit the "Document JavaScripts" and am missing that option.
My view of the Tools pannel:
The view I know from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/quick-tip-how-to-add-a-date-stamp-to-a-for m/:
The linked Video above give a well working description for adding a date stamp when an end user prints the form. The only difference, I want to add a date stamp while opening the PDF-Document. This can, refering to reply 2 of http://forums.adobe.com/message/4212629, only be done in "Document JavaScripts".
Thanks for your help!

Wow! You are right, I use the Standard edition.
So what are my options to start a script on "Document Open"?
The Document Actions are limited to the following:

My Pointer/Position Tool is Missing and I need it BACK!

I'm working in CS4 on a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8). I've had some wanky things happen recently, culminating in pointer tool going missing, and followed online instructions to trash my preferences and saved data (this helped wonderfully well the first time this happened, but despite repeated tries now, does NOTHING). I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling inDesign TWICE. I actually waited for 1 hour on the phone today to talk to a technical advisor, who told me that CS4 is no longer supported and I'd need to look for my answer in this forum.
Any ideas? I'm desperate for my pointer/position tool! The only way I can make use of it now is to quit inDesign. When I re-open it, the cursor defaults to the pointer tool, but once I need to use another tool from the tool bar, there is no way to get BACK to the pointer tool to move objects around my document.
I would be EVER SO GRATEFUL for helpful advice!!!
Thank you!
Megan

This is a real long shot, but try resetting the workspace.
I think, though that you are going to need to uninstall (and check the box to delete the prefs), then run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall again.

Where do I find the JavaScript Tools Guide

I’m fairly new to Adobe scripting. I just downloaded the Photoshop 2014 CC JavaScript Reference,
and in describing ExtendScript’s features, it includes the line,
For details of these and additional features, see the JavaScript Tools Guide,
which it says is installed with Adobe CC at
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit CC 2014\SDK.
It wasn’t there — there’s no such folder on my system. The Javascript Reference goes on to say,
The latest versions of this document and of the ExtendScript Tookit,
can also be downloaded from Adobe Developer Center,
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/.
I followed the above link to the Developer Center, and I couldn’t find it there either.
Where can I find a copy of the latest JavaScript Tools Guide?

JavaScript Tools Guide CS6 PDF

I've found that the JavaScript Tools Guide CS6 PDF is not available for download from the Adobe website. It is only available as part of the ExtendScript Toolkit CS6 (ESTK 3.8).
ESTK 3.8 is not available for download from the Adobe website either, but is included in all Adobe CS6 products.
If you have an Adobe CS6 product installed on Windows, the JavaScript Tools Guide CS6 PDF can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Utilities - CS6\ExtendScript Toolkit CS6\SDK\JavaScript Tools Guide CS6.pdf

Thanks Todd, so posting the actual PDF documents themselves would not be allowed then? I ask only because the JavaScript Tools Guide CC.pdf does not have a link online. Search results return only for the JavaScript Tools Guide CS5.pdf

Just for anyone else who hits this problem: I encountered the same issue with an XML document that XMLSpy claims is quite well formed. I opened the document in a hex editor, and there at the from was a three-byte byte order marker - the marker that I believe the UTF-8 standard says is optional. I removed these three bytes, and the file was parsed correctly.
In this case, the XML file was created using a Microsft DOM (save).
My solution is to make the java parser - as I use it - a tad more robust: Open the file and create an input stream - a pushback input stream. Read the first three bytes; if they are NOT a BOM, then push those bytes back. Now - in any case - give the stream to the parser to read.
try {
// Open file for reading.
f = new File(path);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
PushbackInputStream pis = new PushbackInputStream(fis);
byte[] buf = new byte[3];
pis.read(buf, 0, 3);
if (! (buf[0] == 0x00EF) && (buf[1] == 0x00BB) && (buf[2] == 0x00BF) ) {
pis.unread(buf, 0, 3);
builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
doc = builder.parse(pis);
catch (Exception x) {
x.printStackTrace();
}

Unable to use B2B Document Editor tool to create guideline from data file

Does anyone successfully used the B2B Document Editor tool to generate the guideline doc from an HL7 data file ?
I attempted to use the SpecGenerator feature of this tool to create a guideline from the "a01.xml" sample file in the HL7 tutorials (came with the B2B installation" and the wizard kept on giving me "parsing errors" message below
"The data in the file could not be parsed. Please check the file to verify that it is valid and formatted correctly. This error can occur for one of the following reasons: A) The data file may be a Word document or have some other binary format. B) The envelope data may not be formatted properly. If this is an X12 data file, please verify that the ISA segment is the correct size (exactly 106 characters). If this is an EDIFACT data file, it must have either a UNA or begin with UNB. For other standards, verify that the envelope segments conform to the specified rules. C) The segment/record delimiters in the file are incorrect."
Any idea why ? I did not alter the sample file in anyway -- its format is exactly the same as when it was installed.
Any helps are appreciate !!

Hi,
I would suggest that you learn the B2B product starting with the HL7 tutorial. Start by importing the export files and follow the instructions to make the system work end to end.
Next, you want to configure for the HL7 tutorial manually using the ecs and xsd files provided in the HL7 tutorial directory. Again, ensure that the system work end to end after you have done the manual configuration.
Next, you create a new ecs and xsd file using the Document Editor from scratch and use them in your manual configuration. You can use the same doctype and version as in the tutorial so that you can be familiar with the Document Editor and at the end of this exercise, you know you have done things properly if the system works end to end. The documentation for Document Editor is mainly in the Windows Help section.
After the incremental steps above, you will have the knowledge to implement the document type and version of your project. Going straight into the requirements in your project makes it difficult to debug because they are too many moving parts.
Hope this helps,

Acrobat X Pro Ctrl E option for Edit Document Text tool

Hi,
When I use the "Edit Document Text" tool (formerly TouchUp Text) in Adobe X Pro and press Ctrl E, it's saying "Properties No current selection".
However, pressing Ctrl E on other tools such as Comments, Link etc, the Properties toolbar is showing properly. And when I switch back into using the "Edit Document Text" tool, the Properties toolbar will show as grayed out.
I tried using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and it's doing the same thing.
Is the Ctrl E Properties toolbar is not really available for "Edit Document Text" tool? Do I really have to right click on the area and choose Properties?

Hi gracet41265898,
Please refer the page associated with this Link (Unable to access Acrobat's Tool properties toolbar (greyed out, or "no current selection") ).
Please let me know if this resolves your issue or in case your problem persists.
Regards,
Rahul

XML "Document root element is missing"

i have made a research in the forums but i have no definite solution about the error.
my flash client sends XML stream to my ServerSocket. and i want to parse these XML datas.
Document XMLDoc;
DocumentBuilderFactory Factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder Builder = Factory.newDocumentBuilder() ;
InputSource Is = new InputSource(new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(Sock.getInputStream(),"UTF-16LE")));
XMLDoc = Builder.parse(Is);
But now i have problem called "Document root element is missing". My XML stream comming from flash client :
// Actionscript code :
XDoc = new XML("<?XML version=\"1\"?><LOGIN><USERNAME>KHARON</USERNAME><PASSWORD>485009</PASSWORD></LOGIN>");
----- The XML data i want to sent to ...
<?XML version="1"?>
<LOGIN>
<USERNAME>KHARON</USERNAME>
<PASSWORD>485009</PASSWORD>
</LOGIN>
What is the problem ?

now ?
// Actionscript
XSock = new XMLSocket();
XSock.connect("127.0.0.1",6667);
XDoc = new XML("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><LOGIN><USERNAME>KHARON</USERNAME><PASSWORD>ew2345dfs</PASSWORD></LOGIN>");

Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated.

Any documents created within 10.6 and printed/saved as a pdf file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool activated allowing selection of text and copy/paste or text highlight actions made.
Using OSX 10.6.7 Preview application using the File > Import from Scanner (Epson V500 scanner), the scanned document cannot activate the Text Tool. Only the Move and Select tools cans be selected, activated and used. It's as if Preview's document scanned image using Format-PDF, the scans appear to be an image scan of the text/document into a PDF file and not using OCR to allow a Text Edit.
I can scan a printed document using Acrobat and my Epson scanner and the text tool within Acrobat or Adobe Reader works fine.
Is this a shortcoming within Preview using Format-PDF that the Text tool cannot be activated or used on Preview scanned documents containing text? If so why is Preview's text tool even offered?
If Text Tool can be used on a Preview scanned document…How ? Please!

After further research I have been able to answer my own question regarding-
"Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated."
In Apples Mac 101 Support article entitled: "Using a scanner (Mac 10.6) last modified on March 15, 2011, states: "Item 6. Click Scan to scan. Note: The scanned items will become JPEG images with 300 dpi"
So there it is…Any item (or printed document) scanned under Preview using the selected Format-PDF will be scanned as a JPEG image.
That' s why the Text Tool cannot be activated, it's not being scanned as text but as an image.
If a document is created within the computer via Pages, Text Edit, Word etc. and saved using the "Print-PDF-Save asPDF" file option, the already digitized text is saved within the PDF file and can then the PDF file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool will be available for use to copy/paste or highlight.

Javascript code was missing

Hi
I am using Photoshop Elements 6.0 on Windows Vista and I have added Elements+ (http://simplephotoshop.com/elementsplus/index.htm). Now suddenly I cannot launch the Elements+ functionality. I get the error message "Javascript code was missing". Does anyone here have any ideas on where I should start looking for the error? The javascript code for Elements+ is located at
c:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\E+\Scripts\
(and probably somewhere else to...)
Best regards,
Fredrik

It can be noted that the scripts run as expected when issuing them from the file manager (associating .jsx files with Photoshop Elements). I guess there must be something wrong with paths. Any ideas?
Best regards,
Fredrik

F4M document contains errors - URL missing from Media tag

I feel like I'm getting close to finally get a live stream to work correctly in 4.5
I can see the streams being recorded in the following directories
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent1
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent2
     C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\liveevent3
Each directory contains five files: bootstrap ,control, meta, f4f, and f4x.
I have a single file called Event.xml in the directory: C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent
<Event><EventID>liveevent</EventID>
<Recording>
<FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
<SegmentDuration>16000</SegmentDuration>
<DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
However the client player receives the exception F4M document contains errors - URL missing from Media tag.
If this file is dynamically generated on the fly by the server what do I need to change to resolve this issue?

I will suggest you to go through this doc for complete implementation details. It is pretty comprehendable and would help you understand http live streaming better.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSeb6b7485f9649bf23d103e5512e08f3a33 8-8000.html#WSd391de4d9c7bd609a95b3f112a373a7115-7ff6.
As per your questions -
1. "I try to access the stream using the local player at http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" - This should be http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/liveevent.f4m.
     The name of the f4m is the name of the event you are referring to. In your case, the live event - liveevent is associated with all your three livestreams- namely livestream1, livestream2. livestream3.
2. "Do I need to create BOTH a 'manifest.xml' and a 'event.xml'? And do both of these files need to be in the event directory like below?" - Yes. If you are using mbr you need both these files at the exact place you mnetioned.
For simple single bitrate streams, mainfest.xml file is optional.
3. "If I need to manually create a manifest.xml file would this file and directory be correct?" - Yes, you are right on track. Create the file Manifest.xml and place it inside events directory at the place you mentioned.
4. "Do I need to use a absolute url in the streamid field in manifest.xml to resolve the error msg 'The F4M document contains errors URL missing from Media tag'?" - No. This is not needed. StreamId is not the content path, that is taken care of by the url path in the output manifest. You streamIds will be - livestream1, livestream2, livestream3.
After all this, I would suggest you to check one more thing. If you are publishing the way you mentioned above, there would be '.stream' files (For eg - 'MTYxMjAzMzAzMg=.stream' ) created in your events folder - "C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent\". You should check that there are 3 and only three files formed. It somehow happens that when you publish and republish again without deleting these files, FMS creates multiple copies and tries to map each one to the actual content written at - C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\livestream1\ etc.. So there should be three files and each one should point to one of the streams directory. If there are more, please delete these files, delete your hds streaming content (if possible) and republish again the same way.
This should solve your problem. If still you are facing some issues, do let us know.
Thanks,
Apoorva.
