Export Graphic w/Transparency, CS6 Server, Fail
I have a script that loops through all graphics inside an adobe indesign document. The script senses what type of graphic file it is (JPEG, TIFF, EPS, PSD, etc), and, based on some simple rules, the graphic will get exported as either a JPEG, or a PNG.
For source graphics that have the POTENTIAL to have transparent pixels in them (TIFF, EPS, et al), the export format is set to PNG. For all others, the export format is set to JPEG.
This has been running quite well for some time now, until I switched over a development server to CS6. It was just discovered, this morning, that graphics w/transparent pixies get exported as a PNG, but, where my transparency USED TO BE, I now see a big ugly piece of white. It's terrible.
I've scoured the documentation looking for an answer. Suprisingly, I see a new batch of PNGExportPreferences that I didn't have available to me in CS5.5, but, none of these seems to do the trick. The one that stands out to me is app.pngExportPreference.transparentBackground = true. The documentation for this property is a bit ambiguous in my particular use-case, and, sadly, doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm still seeing a big ol' white blob where I would expect to see transparency.
The basic syntax for what I'm doing is:
d.allGraphics.each(function(graphic){
graphic.exportFile(ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, "graphic.png");
Ideas?
NEVERMIND. I am an idiot. The script is running fine. the .transparentBackground setting IS the trick. I just completely FAILED to remember, until now, that MS's paint program cannot handle transparency. I was viewing the exported graphic in Paint. SUCH an idiot.

CrystalReport - Getting "The Report Application Server failed" while export
Hi Experts,
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 in my ASP.NET application to generate reports. Everythings works fine in the development environment. When I deploy it on my Windows Server 2003 system, I get an error "The Report Application Server failed" while exporting the report from the report control. But, the report assuch is working fine even in the production environement. I experience this issue only while exporting to excel or anyother format.
Do I need to configure anything or any settings needs to be turned on in the .rpt files!!
Appreciate any help to get this issue resolved.
TIA,
PremFirst a confirmation. When you say; "...exporting the report from the report control...", you mean the printer button on the viewer?
Questions;
What version of .NET?
What Crystal Reports Service Pack are you on?
How was the CR runtime installed on the server?\
Can you print the report OK?
Are you using sessions?

I've created a monitor graphic in Fireworks that looks like iMac and I would like to export it with transparent background.

Here are the previews
1st - the png-8 format
2nd - thejpeg format

I get a "dynamic link server server failed" error message when trying to add Premiere projects to adobe media encoder. CS6, update to date according to the adobe updater. Tried a restart, still nothing. This feature worked fine until about a week and a half ago. Wish adobe offered phone support for a $1,000 suite of software...

Reason: Please keep the title of your post short and concise for searchability purposes.Kyle,
I have the same problem. All of this functionality worked before (at least about 130 days ago), but there have been at least two updates to Pr since that time.
Here are a few more data points. (Win 7 x64 Ultimate on HP Z820 32 GB RAM, Quadro 4000 CS6 Master Collection)
(1) Exporting using Queue in Pr CS6 to batch in AME creates the project file in a TEMP directory, and launches AME and adds the file to the Queue. When I press start, it sits a LONG time, then finally in the Encoding panel, I get the "Connecting to Dynamic Link Server...", until it fails with the error "Can't read source file..."
(2) Exporting directly from Pr works fine (so headless AME is working)
(3) Importing a Pr Sequence within AME does not work, I get an error from the Import Premiere Pro Sequence dialog (after a long wait “Connecting to Dynamic Link server…”) that “Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed”.
I suspect this is a dynamic link issue, but don't know where. I've tried the 'create a new Premiere shortcut in dynamicilnk folder' solution, but it didn't work. When I first tried that, I did find two shortcuts already there, one for Pr and one for Ae, but BOTH of them pointed to a CS4 folder! I've never owned CS4, and went from CS3 Design Professional to CS6 Master Collection. I also suspect this issue was caused by one of the updates to Pr that occurred within the last 130 days (since the last time I know this functionality worked). I've made not changes to my system during that time.
I do not use Windows Firewall, and all of this happens on a single machine, so there should be no TCP traffic across the wire (unless it is communicating with Adobe?). I use Webroot Endpoint Protection, but have received no indication that anything is suspect or has been blocked. Any help from the Adobe engineers would be greatly appreciated. -

Problem in the exportation to PDF (Indesign CS6)
Problem in the exportation to PDF (Indesign CS6):
Page with 3 layers: 1st background image, 2nd semi-transparent white square, 3rd text in color black.
It looks OK in Indesign, but when exporting, in the PDF file the letters are not black, they are gray. What could happened? I've tryed already the obvious solutions (the order of layers is OK, restarted the PC...)
Thank you in advance.the default [Black] swatch (0/0/0/100 in CMYK) really is a lighter color than a rich black mixed from four CMYk ink, or 3 RGB colors. It would be pretty unusual to see a black background in an image that wasn't a mix.
Do you have the preference in ID for Appearance of Black set to Display All Blacks Accurately? That will show you the difference in ID on screen as well. -

Getting error: Report Application Server failed
I started posting my problem in thread below and have been advised to continue in this forum
Reference thread: The Report Application Server failed
My problem occurs in a asp application (vb 2005) and also when I run the Crystal Report stand alone (xi rel 2).
The asp application does not render any other messages than "report Application Server Failed" but running the CR stand alone I get "error formatting cross tab object". Whenver I get this message and if I switch page setting (either from landscape to portrait or portrait to landscope) it work for the report in question.
I have now advanced a little further in trying to solve the issue or at least find what is wrong. I have created a .net windows application where I export the CR to disk
Dim DiskOpts As CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions
myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
DiskOpts.DiskFileName = ReportPath & ReportName
myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions = DiskOpts
myCrystalReport1.Export()
I get the same problems, some reports will not let me export and I am getting error:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InternalException: The Report Application Server failed ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800003E5): The Report Application Server failed

at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export()
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export()
My default page set up is landscape and if I now reverse the page set up like: myCrystalReport1.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait it will let me export.
My windows application exports hundreds of reports in a single run and by toggling between landscape and portrait I manage to get it working when I get an export error (like above).
Was hoping that anyone couldm point me in a good direction, I've been fighting this problems for many days now and I do not have a solution as to why this is happening. Thank you.Hi,
The cross-tab reports that are causing this error, do they have any formatting formulas on any of the objects?
Are your using any running totals or setting the Evaluation Time using WhilePrintingRecords?
I've run into this problem with crosstabs when I created a Display String formula using Running Totals.
The report cannot render the report because the running total is conflicting with the results of the crosstab.
When you right-click an object and go to Format Field. In the Common tab if the Display String has a formula set, remove or comment it out. Do this for all the objects and try running the report again.
Good luck,

Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed
I am using an HP Desktop computer:
- 24 GBs RAM
- Quad Core i7
- NVIDIA GTX-580 GPU
- Windows 7 Professional
I have Master Collection CS6 and I'm not sure if Dynamic Link ever worked properly for me. But I am experiencing 2 issues:
1). When I use Media Encoder, I want to use "File" > "Add After Effects Composition..." or "Premiere Pro Sequence..." and can't progress further. When I try to bring in the Premiere Pro sequence, I get a loading bar, but it never loads the sequence. When I try to bring in the After Effects composition, I get the message "Connecting to the Dynamic Link server failed."
2). When I open a squence in Premiere Pro that has a clip that is Dynamically Linked to After Effects, the clip will show in the timeline as media not found or available. I have to try and relink it to make it work. This would be a huge hassell if I have many clips that are dynamically linked.
I have tried virus scans, reinstalling the software and checking to make sure the firewall is not blocking the Adobe protocols. Nothing seems to work. I unfortunately have never been able to use Dynamic Link until I got a computer that was speedy enough that would allow me to run Premiere and After Effects at the smae time! :-) Is anyone else having this issue and is there a solution?
Here are some screen shots:I've been searching/troubleshooting for days, none of the firewall, new shortcuts in folder, antivirus, you name it I tried it even wiped my system which seemed to work at first..
What did it for me in the end was I had Dxtory (a software recorder, for recording gameplay) running on startup, and somehow it interfered with only Premiere projects in Media Encoder, I could still import AE projects go figure.
Check all the programs you have running or use sometimes, if they have some sort of hook into other programs/deal with video/codecs this could be your problem too!
Thanks to everyone trying to solve this problem!

Visio - bug - The server failed to process the request
Hi
When uploading a visio diagram into one of our sharepoint document libraries we then get a 'The Server failed to process the Request' error when we then try and view the document in the Web Browser. Does anyone know how to fix this?
ThanksI understand that this is an old thread. The following might be useful to other readers engaging this issue in the future.
I experienced the same error message when provisioning a new instance of the Visio Graphics Service application for a new farm. I first tested the approach presented by sjb500 and found that this approach did resolve the problem. I then
explored using a more limited permission approach. Over the course of several attempts, I eventually found that I only need map the application pool identity to the SPDataAccess role to resolve the problem: -
Creating Hyperlink using InDesign CS6 Server
Hello,
Could anyone help me to automate hyperlink generation for the web related contents, I can acheive this using desktop, but not in InDesign CS6 server, since 'selection' property is not supporting by the server version.
Thanks,
PraveenAs i understand, if your panels at the same height you can create a new document with 6 page with the size scaled to 25%, then on page panel: unckeck AllowDocumet Pages to Shuffle. Drag the pages to be side to side, and that make the total width of you mural
When you export to pdf, on general tab check on all pages & spreads -
Data merge crash in ID CS6 server (but works in ID CS6 desktop)
I have a strange problem with datamerge solution of InDesign cs6 server.
There is a 20-page indd document and a 50-record csv file to be used along with it.
Creating merged document (using data merge) causes ID CS6 server to crash right after the moment the following line executes:
objDoc.mergeRecords();
However, strangely, for the same template file there is no crash in InDesign desktop counterpart.
I certainly seems that there is some inherent problem with data merge in the InDesign server. All data merge settings are same for both applications.
Even there is no crash if I directly export to PDF as follows:
objDoc.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, outputfile);
So, in summary for the same template file:
objDoc.mergeRecords(); // crash occurs in InDesign server but not in desktop counterpart
objDoc.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(...); // no crash at all
It would be a great help if someone can throw some light on this.This is two separate issues. The highlighting is a behavior change and not for the better inthe opinion of many, but nothing you can do about it at the moment.
Links, on the other hand, have ALWAYS been absolute, as long as ID can find them in the path stored in the file. Even if you copy a links folder from the server to the local machine, ID is going to ignore it and use the links on the server as long as they are there and you have a connection. -

AndreaIf you are getting connection refused, either the server isn't listening on the port you have specified or there is a firewall intervening.
Can you connect to the database using any other MSSQL client tools (query analyzer for instance?) If so, make sure the setting you have there are the same in sqldeveloper. -

"Connection to server failed" error with Gmail exchange server
Hi,
I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3 on Friday and now I can't access my Gmail account using the Microsoft Exchange settings, I just get a "Connection to server failed" error.
I also have a Google Apps email account for my website and I am able to access it using exchange... it's just my regular Gmail account that I can't access (and that's where all my contacts are stored).
I can access the account using the regular Gmail email settings but that doesn't sync my contacts over the air, which is the advantage of using Exchange that I love the most.
I don't know if it is related or not, but I had a really hard time upgrading to iOS 4.3. I guess the update file was corrupt and it put my phone into restore mode. I had to use a different computer for the upgrade to finally work. Because I was using a different computer I had to restore it as a new phone rather than restoring from a backup, so maybe that has something to do with my email problem.
Message was edited by: KJones75I seem to have solved the problem. I deleted my Gmail account from the phone and then changed my Gmail password from my computer, and then tried adding the account to my phone again... and surprise, surprise, it worked.
I'm not sure why changing the password fixed the problem, but I'm glad it's working again.
