Editing a saved selection

Experts, I have a quick question. I have my saved selection out there on a page. Now, if I want to change that saved selection to add sorting on one column, how do I do that? Do I need to create another saved selection or is there a way to edit the existing one?
thx,
parag

Hi wallacem59620634,
Are you referring to a file that you've saved to your Acrobat.com online account? If so, you'll need to download that file to your computer to edit it. Please follow these steps:
Log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files.
Select the file that you want to edit, and then click Download. The file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer. From there, you can open it in an application that supports that file format and edit it.

Saved Selections for users

Hi,
Is there a way to control the option ' Save selections for others'? I know how to control the selections option from Privileges. But, I don't see the option to control saved selections for others.
Can someone please let me know if this can achieved?
Thanks
Chandu.

Hi,
The option you have specified controls from having selections privilege for a user.
I want to control the options * to save selections for others*.
Meaning that, I want to disable the option - * Page Options --> Save Current Selections --> For Others*, but keep the option * Page Options --> Save Current Selections --> For Me*
Is it possible?? Please let me know.
Hi..I just realized that, for non-admin users, ( user without admin privileges) will not be seeing the option ' Page Options --> Save Current Selections --> For Others'
Thanks.

Working with Saved Selections

Hey guys,
I'm working with a lot of saved selections suddenly, and was wondering if there are easier ways to work with them that don't require ScriptListener script. The 3 things I can think of that I need to do with saved selections is, of course, save a selection, load a selection, and the one I can't figure out is, can I simply check to see if a selection exists in the saved selection list? I'm assuming the best way to check for a saved selection is to simply look for that selection via the channels window/tab (a feature I haven't used much as far as script is concerned). Saving a select I would imagine is fairly simple, I just don't know how to do it outside of using SL script. Loading selections gets a little more complicated as I need to load a selection from one document into another. I have SL script to do both the save and the load, but if there is a cleaner way to do those, I'm all for it. The biggest thing is how to determine if a certain selection has even been saved. Anyway, any tips anyone can give are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Ok, of course I go and figure out most of the things I struggled with on my own shortly after posting. For finding and loading a selection was as simple as below:
var thisDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDoc = app.documents.getByName("original.psd");
var chan = myDoc.channels.getByName("channelName");
thisDoc.selection.load(chan);
Creating the chan variable throws an error if it can't find the one specified, so it simply needs to be placed in a try statement if you simply want to see if it's there or not. The load was a lot simpler than I expected as well. I'm still a bit confused on the save though. It doesn't seem quite as cut-and-dry as the check and load. Any suggestions on simply saving a selection as a certain name?
Edit: One thing to note is; if you're loading the selection to another document; it appears that the target document must be the exact same width/height as the source of the selection.

Saved Selections missing from Spreadsheet Add-in

Hi,
One of my end users is having a problem with the Oracle Spreadsheet Add-In that no-one else seems to be having and I'm at a loss for what to suggest to him.
Yesterday he encountered some network related problem which left it impossible for the Spreadsheet Add-in to connect to the AW on the database. Everybody else that uses OLAP cubes was still able to connect without problems. When he entered the username and password and pressed connect the system hangs for a few seconds and then returns to the spreadsheet without invoking the wizard. Our desktop services team looked at the problem and couldn't resolve it so have re-installed the Spreadsheet Add-In. This has resolved his connection problems and he is able to build his own queries using the cubes.
The problem that he is now finding is that the saved selection criteria that he had previously been using was no longer visible to him. I.e. when he is in the wizard building a query based on a cube, he selects, say, the time dimension, and rather than selecting from the members tab on the left-hand side of the screen, he moves to the Saved Selection tab. It is at this point that he would usually see a list of his previously saved selections - but he doesn't see any folders or selections.
When I reproduce his steps on my computer I see a folder called Users and then another folder with the schema name and then underneath that there are a number of saved selections. I can select these without any problems.
I'm not sure if this problem is related to permissions somewhere or if somehow the installation is incomplete.
Has anyone encountered this before??
LM

The first step to resolving this issue is to check your Analytic Workspace is working. Within AWM can you right click on each dimension and select the option "View data" - make sure you can drill up and down on each dimension. Then repeat this process for each of your cubes. I suspect there is something wrong with either a dimension or cube. If you cannot see data within AWM then Excel will not with either.
If the data viewer in AWM is working OK, then Excel should work as well.

I installed Photoshop CC (2014) yesterday through the Creative Cloud app. Now, when in Lightroom when I go to "edit in"and select Photoshop CC (2014) and click on "edit copy with Lightroom adjustments", it opens Photoshop CC (2014) but my photo doesn't show up? My photo does show up when I click on "edit copy" or "edit original".
How can I correct that so that I can open up a photo from Lightroom WITH the Lightroom adjustments? Thanks!

I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

Photoshop bug: Smart Objects overwriting other Smart Objects when edited and saved in Illustrator

Experiencing issues when working with a large number (over 200) vector smart objects brought into Photoshop CS4 from Illustrator.
Things seemed to be going along nicely; if I needed to edit a Smart Object, I could double-click it, it would open in Illustrator and then I could edit and save it. Return to Photoshop and the Smart Object is updated. Swell and dandy. The issue started happen when I hit a large quantity of either vector smart objects (remember, over 200) or the many layers and groups within Photoshop (must be over 500). When I would double-click, open, edit, and save the vector Smart Object, the Photoshop Smart Object I was working on would update AND another/several other Smart Objects would update as well. Which, of course, would ruin the artwork, as suddenly I was seeing several instances of the same object. If it hadn't have been for ForeverSave, I many not have recovered the work.
It's rather hard to isolate the issue to see what's causing the problem. Here are some of the possible causes:
Running Snow Leopard on Mac
Many, many Smart Objects in file, perhaps enough to ruin the naming convention and cause bugs when Photoshop referenced the temp file
Many, many Photoshop layers and groups
Illustrator vector files copy+pasted from several different files (affects the naming convention perhaps?)
Some groups/layers in Photoshop are duplicates
To help make it a little clearer, you should know:
Running the most updated software / OS (that is until CS5 comes out)
Smart Objects showed no error until I had actually opened, edited, and saved the referenced temp file (i.e. VectorSmartObject1.ai)
Files saved and worked on from Dropbox (network folder)
Not looking for much of an answer to this question; I just wanted to see if anyone else had come across this bug. Also, Adobe PLEASE look into this as you begin testing for the next update. I have the file(s) if you need to replicate the issue. My best guess is that the naming convention of Vector Smart Objects has an odd character limit so when Vector Smart Object 200.ai is saved, Vector Smart Object 2.ai gets overwritten.

Have you tested this with Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5? (the current versions, that came out last month)
If you duplicated a smart object layer, both layers refer back to the same file content. So when you change the file, both layers would be updated. That is intentional and explained in your manual. If you didn't realize this, that could explain what you are seeing.
If you placed separate files, then they should not be updated at the same time, because they will refer to separate files.
Yes, Smart Objects only update when you save the file.
You would need over 4 billion smart objects in one document to get Photoshop confused about which one refers to which file. And since the layer limit is much less than 4 billion, I doubt that is the cause.
There is no naming convention involved. We don't limit the filenames (except to platform standards and to include a file type extension).

After the last update I lost a lot of documents I had edited and saved in my tablet. Any option to recover them? Now I can only access the documents of the cloud.

How to get Saved Selection list in javascript?

Hello!
Recently I met a little problem about save selection. I want to get saved selection list so that I can used in javascript. Now I have no ideals. Hope you tell me some useful information about how to get Saved Selection list in javascript!

Mark is right, it's not possible.
But do you know you can assign selection to a variable, and get back to it simply like this?
var sel = app.selection;
app.selection = null;
/* your codes here
app.selection = sel;

Database DLL error on editing the record selection formula?

Post Author: Aravind
CA Forum: Older Products
Hi All,I recently edited the record selection formula of an old report and since then the report is issuing me an "Error detected by database DLL" error.The report was running fine earlier and still continues to run fine if I undo the changes. Earlier, the records were selected based on a 'date' field and I edited the formula to select records based on another date field, but the report doesn't work.The report runs fine on my local PC using Crystal Reports, but web based reporting fails with the error message. The data is selected from a view and the date parameters I talked about are the fields in the same view.This view has around five date parameters and the report runs fine for all of them, except one date field.Any pointers are appreciated.Crystal reports version is 8.5. Regards,Aravind.

Ah, yes, the good old generic date error.
The problem is likely an invalid date value in one (or all) of your records with that field. You don't say what database engine you are connected to or which driver you are using for the report, but I'll give you some "pointers".
Basically, the SQL fetch has encountered an error in your date field and the driver you are using in the report can't handle it.
A null date could cause that problem. Also a date-time field with an invalid value or truncated time value. A robust ODBC driver, like one of the Microsoft drivers might be able to overcome it. Likewise, vendors frequently release updated drivers to improve error handling just like this.
1. Analyze your data, specifically the contents of the "new" date field you are using for some kind of invalid date.
2. Experiment with different ODBC drivers by creating alternate ODBC connections to the same database using different ODBC drivers.
3. Browse and experiment with options in Crystal Reports Properties that allow you to specify data conversions for NULLs and Dates.
Good luck !

Saved Selections not applying hierarchy change in dimension

I am using Oracle BI Discoverer 10.1.2.54.25. I have created Saved Selections and am trying to have 3 saved selections for a certain dimension in my report. I want each saved selection to apply a different hierarchy within that dimension, but when I do a replace to apply the new saved selection in the report, it looks like its working, but it does not change the hierarchy - it looks like it always uses the default. I do select the hierarchy I want in the saved selection definition. Can anyone help?
Thank you!
Ann

You should post your question to [disco forum|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=56&start=0].
I noticed that I cannot include the saved selection created for other hierarchies than default.

Editing documents saved as PDF

Why can't I edit documents saved as PDF? Last week I was able to save them and then edit them. Today I can only view them.

Hey johnfromnew malden,
First off, do you have all of your files backed up?
Have you ever replaced the hard drive?
Try starting up in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key while booting. Continue holding the Shift key until you see the login window. It may take 5 or more minutes to start up as Safe Mode will try to repair your hard drive if there are issues.

Illustrator's font is different for some reason and hard to read, I need to change it so i can read all the tabs and file names. Like file, edit, options, type, select, effects..... swatches, layers.. every tab is in a different font that is hard to read

Illustrator's tabs are all in a different font that I can read.
I need to know how to change it so I can get back to a steady workflow.
For example..
File, edit, options, type, select, effects, view, windows, help..... pathfinder, layers, swatches, stroke, and the file name (all the tabs)
are all in a different font, I don't know how it got changed but now it is different.
This is a shared computer so someone might have changes it on accident but I'm not sure.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

External editing and saving

For some reason pictures that I have edited in photoshop are no longer being saved to aperture. Before when I finished editing and saved an image it automatically went to the place where it was filed in aperture before I edited it. I am sure I have changed no settings and suddenly it stopped saving properly. I don't know how to get it set up to save the way it used to. Can anybody help? I have a project due and I can't seem to get past this.
Thank you.

This is probably not going to be any help, but just in case...
Are you at any point in your Photoshop editing work saving the file with a new or revised name -- intentionally or otherwise? And then not saving to a separate Finder file from which you can subsequently import that "new" (from Aperture's perspective) image into your Aperture Library, as either a Managed or Referenced file (depending on your workflow)?
I ask only because I frequently find myself creating a whole new file from versions of images I've sent to my External Editor (i.e. Photoshop) from Aperture -- an example being when I create a Photomerge. But also sometimes I end up wanting to save two different versions of the file while still in Photoshop. For those situations, I've created a folder on my Desktop called PICS TO IMPORT, and it's to that folder that any of those new or "Saved As" PS files get sent. Then, back in Aperture, I import those new PS files, (in my case using the "Move Files" option so they are placed into the correct sub-folders in my MASTER IMAGES folder, which my Aperture Library then references).
The only thing I have to remember (and which I occasionally forget when I'm in a hurry) is to navigate to that "PICS TO IMPORT" folder in Photoshop's Save dialog BEFORE saving the new/revised file for the first time, otherwise it will be saved by Photoshop to the default location, which is deep within that MASTER IMAGES folder (wherever the files reside which Aperture used to create the original Exports for the External Editor). That means when I return to Aperture, I can't see the new PS file, since I still haven't officially imported it yet.
Whereas if I just send a jpg from Aperture to my External Editor, and simply keep saving that new .psd version "as is" in Photoshop (no changes or revisions to the file name), then every time I flip back to Aperture, all my Photoshop revisions (up to my last save in PS) are reflected in the .psd file now residing in a Stack right next to the original jpg which "gave birth" to it.
Again, I've no idea if any of this is even germane to the problem you're having, but I hope maybe it might at least spark an idea.
Good luck!
