Document Preferences

On page 19, in the Acrobat reference manual, ref: in “Document Preferences/Save Settings/Save As Optimizes For Fast Web View Restructures a PDF document for page-at-a-time downloading from web servers.” So my question is, when I save a document as a PDF, is it saved ‘as is’ or saved with its definition losing some of its quality, like after using ‘OCR’, and then the after-effect is clearly noticeable…? Is this action for my end or the end user, whom received the PDF I sent and downloaded it; optimized, restructured…? What is meant by, ‘Restructured’…?

You might want to check the Acrobat manual for a better overview (you have been there), but my understanding of optimizing for web view would be related to both graphic resolution and transfer process (like interlace graphics so that they load faster for display. The actual statement in the manual is that it states the document is downloaded page by page so that you can have a page up for viewing while the rest download. So the way that things are put into the PDF are changed in the order to allow this single page load at a time. That would be a restructure of the PDF, just changing the order of things.
You have mixed a bunch of things together with the addition of the OCR. The latter has resolution aspects as well as replacing visual graphic text with a replacement text or putting the text in a hidden layer behind the graphic. The latter even has the option to compress the graphic.
So I am not really sure what the question is. I have the impression you are not sure what to ask either.

Override document preferences when opening a file

Hi all
Does anyone know if there is a way to override the document preferences with the InDesign preferences when opening a file (or even when a file is open).
The issue i have is that I have a whole load of documents where for some reason the superscript has been set to size 100% and not the standard 58.3% and i want to revert it back to standard without the need to open preferences -> advanced type and then resetting all the sizes.
I know that Quark (sorry to swear) had this ability where on file open it would warn of a preference mismatch and ask if document or Quark prefs should be used.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it will save me a lot of time.
thanks
Justin

The issue is that although InDesign will open up Quark documents, it doesn't appear to allow you to add them to a book.
Therefore, from what i can best make out, i would need to import the Quark doc into InDesign, save the file as an InDesign file, then import it into a book to run the script. We have few hundred single page Quark docs for a packaging job we are doing.
It seems quicker to open the file, and just change the superscript preference, its not an insurmountable issue, just more of an inconvenience and a bit of a waste of time.
Thanks for yours and everyones help on this as it will certainly use the script on InDesign projects should the same issue arise.

Application server 8.1 alternative for Setting the Document Preferences

hi All,
I used to do the following under application server 7 to set the Document preferences:
To use the Administration interface to set the document preferences, follow these steps:
1. In the left pane, for the application server instance, open HTTP Server.
2. Open Virtual Servers.
3. Click the name of the virtual server you want to edit.
4. Click the Doc Handling tab.
5. Click Doc Preferences.
6. Choose the appropriate field values, as discussed in the following sections.
7. Click OK.
I need to do the same thing in application server 8.1 how can i do that?
What is the alternative procedure?
I want to have multiple indexes under the same instance which hosts multiple applications
Thanks,
Scotty

hi,
Can anyone please guide me to the correct solution?
I have a project and i dont know whether i am stepping right?
I read in the docs about "welcome-file-list" that is found in the default-web.xml file and it pointed that i can design my application's web.xml to include "welcome-file-list" to point to my customized index.html
If this is the case, then how can i point my browser to the server is it by the context root only?
Your quick reply is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Scotty

Script for 'Check Links Before Opening Document' preference

I'm trying to find the VB script for changing the "Check Links Before Opening Document" checkbox on the File Handling panel in the Preferences dialog? I haven't found any documentation referring to the Links items on that panel.
Bob

Thanks for the info.
Was there a document you pulled this from?
I have an old document from CS2 days that is invaluable for providing a detailed list of available script methods and properties. Obviously things that have been added in subsequent InDesign releases aren't in this document. Later InDesign CS releases offer script SDKs that contain helpful sample scripts but I don't find a detailed summary similar to one from CS2. Have I just not found them? Or how does one find the script method/property for things not contained in the sample scripts?

Acrobat 8 crashes - Reading Untagged Document & Preferences Menu

Hey everyone.
I have installed Adobe Acrobat 8 (8.2.1) Standard on my Win 7 (32-bit) laptop. It was working ok for a short while but when I open a PDF I have a pop-up come up "Reading Untagged Document" and the whole program crashes shortly after. Also I have noticed that when I go to the Preferences menu (edit>preferences) the program crashes shortly after the preferences menu displays.

THis is a copy of a post by Rich1UK it worked for me. it is a workaround though, not a true solution. i hade the same issue moving from vista 32 to Windows 7 64.
Hey everyone. I have been having trouble with Acrobat 8 Standard on Windows 7 32-bit. Version 8.0.0 worked fine but when I try to update from this version I have had a problem. When I open a PDF I have a ‘reading untagged document' popup window open and shortly after the whole program crashes. If open a PDF document when I hold down the shift key the program works fine. However I have also found that if I choose to run the program as an administrator (permanently as an option) it works fine and it no longer crashes. Don’t ask me why but it seems to work. Maybe this can help someone!

New document preferences not working

I'm wondering why my Photoshop preferences don't save when opening a new document. If I create a 4"x4" document, then create a new one, it defaults to pixel sizing) Why?

Both my work Mac and home Mac don'y follow that for some reason. If I copy and paste an item from Illustrator, or create a new document, or work on a current document (ex. 5"x7"), then create a new doc, it reverts back to a smaller size doc. measured in pixels. CS 4 didn't do that. Unfortunate.

Setup Document Preferences and save file to a certain location

I am wanting to have a javascript button on my toolbar that will setup the following document properties....
Embed page thumbnails
Navigation tab: Pages Panel and Page
Page Layout: Single Page
Magnification: Fit Page
Then save the file in the following format
file.name(substring 0, 4) + "_PUB"
Save the file to the following location on my computer
T:\ Checking \ _PUB\
Would appreciate some one helping me out with this!
Thanks in advance!
Windows 7 64 bit....
Acrobat 8 Pro
Acrobat 10 Pro

OK so thank you for the direction guys! Here is what I ended up with.....
In the following folder location:
C:\Users\wolfecj\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\JavaScripts
I saved a file named:
PUB and SIS file save.js
Here is the code in that file:
function savePUBAndSIS() {
app.beginPriv();
if(this.documentFileName.substring(8, 9) != "_"){
this.saveAs("T:/Authors/Corey Wolfe/" + this.documentFileName.substring(0, 11) +'_PUB.pdf');
this.saveAs("T:/Authors/Corey Wolfe/" + this.documentFileName.substring(0, 11) +'_SIS.pdf');
else{
console.println("T:/Authors/Corey Wolfe/" + this.documentFileName.substring(0, 8) +'-00_PUB.pdf');
console.println("T:/Authors/Corey Wolfe/" + this.documentFileName.substring(0, 8) +'-00_SIS.pdf');
app.endPriv();
Then in the following folder location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Javascripts
I saved a file named:
trustedSave.js
Here is the code in that file:
app.addMenuItem( {
cName: "trustedSave",
cUser: "Save PUB and SIS", cParent: "Tools",
cExec: "savePUBAndSIS();", nPos: 0
Now to execute my trusted function I go to the Tools menu and click on Save PUB and SIS
Now I just need to figure out how to save my PUB file as a standard quality and my SIS file as a optimized for web view!
Hope this helps someone out!

Current page (not Document) width and height with JSX

Hi,
I am trying to create a script that saves every page of the document and add its width and height to the name.
So far I managed to get the dimensions of the document using:
app.activeDocument.pages.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
app.activeDocument.pages.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
That's ok when all the pages in the document have the same dimensions (Document Preferences).
However, when I use custom pages that does not work.
I tried the code below but does not work either.
for(i=0; i<nb;i++)
 app.activeDocument.pages[i].documentPreferences.pageWidth;
 app.activeDocument.pages[i].documentPreferences.pageHeight;
I have done some research and I don't seem to find any information regarding custom pages dimensions.
Can you please help with this?
Thanks in advance,
Isko

Main();
function Main() {
 var doc = app.activeDocument,
 pages = doc.pages,
 page, width, height;
 for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
 page = pages[i];
 width = page.bounds[3] - page.bounds[1];
 height = page.bounds[2] - page.bounds[0];
 $.writeln("Page: " + page.name + " - " + "width = " + width + ", height = " + height);

How to Mark an InDesign Document with an "Indelible Watermark"

For CS5 and ActionScript:
I want to mark an InDesign document I've creating via scripting in such a way that an end user can not get rid of the marking (e.g., when distributing my extension as a trial version). Ideally, I'd want "Trial Version" splashed across each page "indelibly".
How can this be done?
TIA,
mlavie

Hi,
Try using watermark document preference:
app.activeDocument.watermarkPreferences;
There are some properties like text, font, style, rotatio, opacity...
Hope that helps.

Why when I scan an 8.5X11 document is the resulting pdf 8.5X11.7?

How can I fix this? I cannot find a document preference setting or default setting. Using Acrobat Pro 9.

You can set the paper size of your scanned document using Custom or Paper size.
To get to this use Create PDF from Scanner.

824pp document to pdf as single pages

Hello
I am after some help if possible. We are producing a catalogue that is 824 pages in length. We do not have 1 document with 824 pages, we have split it into smaller sizes. However, we are using on online proofing system and have been asked if we can upload our high res pdf's as single page documents. This will help speed up the proofing and will make ftp transfer of the files a lot easier. Is there a way to take a multi page document and export it as a high res pdf to PDFX1A standard as single pages. For example, if one section is 32 pages we need to export it as 32 separate pdf's.
Thanks in anticipation
Gary

Here's something I've posted this AS before and it works for me in CS2. Put the document you wish to make single pages of in its own folder, open the document then run the attached script. PDF files will be placed in folder that the document's in. Good luck. I can't claim ownership for this script. I picked it up from another forum or thread.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set allPresets to name of every PDF export preset
set thePreset to choose from list allPresets
if thePreset = false then
beep
error number -128
else
set the thePreset to item 1 of thePreset
end if
try
set thepath to (full name of document 1) as string
on error
set theDesk to path to desktop as string
set thepath to theDesk & (name of document 1) as string
end try
if thepath ends with ".indd" then
set thepath to text 1 thru -6 of thepath
end if
set pageCount to pages per document of document preferences of document 1
repeat with i from 1 to pageCount
set page range of PDF export preferences to i as string
export document 1 to file (thepath & "-" & i & ".pdf") format PDF type using PDF export preset thePreset without showing options
end repeat
beep
display dialog "Finshed." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell

Setting default preferences (CS3)

Hi, I seem to be losing my preferences a lot recently, when I have a crash, and it's becoming quite tedious fixing them manually.
I've managed to successfully java script a few things to work on startup. However there are a few things I don't know the code for:
1. Uncheck "Dimensions include stroke weight"
2. Uncheck "Adjust stroke weight when scaling"
3. Printer prefs > Graphics > images > send data "all" (Needs to be for the application default printer preferences, NOT the current document preferences)
Is there a list available that covers all these things? Can't seem to find them in the Adobe scripting reference or guide.
Cheers

First thing to do is grasp the difference between name of an object and name of a property
"TransformPreference" is the name of an object -- a 'type', just as "Number" is, and "String", and lots of Others. As sort of convention, these are written with an initial capital. You cannot assign a value to an object; you need a variable of that type instead. And an object, in turn, may contain new variables (its 'properties').
So, if I say that an Application contains an object TransformPreference that has a property adjustStrokeWeightWhenScaling, you cannot literally copy-and-paste everything together. Besides, you really have to check case usage. Javascript is Case Sensitive!
"app" is the name of the Application object we are working with (you got that right)
the transform preference object is called 'transformPreferences'
and that, in turn, has a boolean 'dimensionsIncludeStrokeWeight' (note case)
So a full assignment line would be
app.transformPreferences.dimensionsIncludeStrokeWeight = false;
or, in the alternative notation
with(app.transformPreferences) {
dimensionsIncludeStrokeWeight = false;
adjustStrokeWeightWhenScaling = false;
(which reminds me, where did you ever get "ScaleStrokes" from?)
The Print Preference thingy is something different. The "application" doesn't have any print preferences you can set! Only a Document or a Book (which is kind of a document, I suppose) can have these. The print preferences are what "get changed" if you take a print preset and change those before actually pressing the 'print' button.
The short of it is that you cannot set default 'print preferences' for the program; however, that ought not to be a problem because that's what Print Presets are for. And you don't need a script to save/restore these.

[CS3, AS] Setting assorted preferences

I am writing a script that will set my preferences to my preferred settings.
I have been able to define most of the preferences but there are a few I cannot figure out.
How do I:
-specify snippets are to be placed in original location
-specify which shortcut set is to be used
-import printer presets from a saved set (.prst file)
Thanks in advance for your help.

Viewing Web Intelligence Documents Using Interactive Format

When I go to the Advanced Rights screen in Central Management Console, this right is set to Granted:
Enable interactive HTML viewing (if license permits)
When I log in to InfoView to set my Web Intelligence Documents Preferences, I do not see "Interactive" as an option under "Select a view format".
Do I need a special license to enable interactive HTML viewing? We have the Premium version of BusinessObjects.

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
BI Platform
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Migrating my Preferences to PS CC 2014

I haven't done this in a long, long time. Is there an automated way to migrate Workspaces, Actions, Preferences in general from PS CC to PS CC 2014, in Windows 7? I found this document Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CS5, but when I follow the three-key instruction, all I manage to pull off is opening the Properties window. A more detailed step-by-step instruction would be helpful... anyone!
Thanks for your time and attention.
Miguel

There is potential but no known harm in doing this. With the Preset Migration, it is essentially doing this but also converting the files so they are supported by the new version. Without this conversion, there is the chance that some of the data will not work correctly and result in unexpected behavior. So I'd say try it, but keep an eye out for trouble.
