Exporting snippets. Explicit answer from Adobe specialists is needed!

I searched hard and did not found any direct answer to the following question:
Is there a way by means of scripting to export several objects on different layers into snippet without grouping them (as we can do it by export command in UI)?

You need to activate "Paste Remembers Layers" option in Layers palette menu to preserve layers.
I never knew that applied to pasting snippets! Thanks for the information.
Unforatunately this doesn't help you. I hunted around the scripting DOM for quite a while and reached the same conclusion that you did -- there does not appear to be an interface for this. It seems like an omission.
There are a pair of bad choices you could consider:
1. Export multiple IDMS files and merge them yourself.
2. Export the layout to IDML and extract the content you want and convert to IDMS.
Neither of these are for the faint-of-heart and both require a good understanding of IDML XML.

  • Submit functions - I would like an official answer from Adobe...

    Hi,
    I would like to get an official answer from adobe about this subject:
    Until acrobat reader 7.05, any use of "get()" and "post()" FormCalc methods in any livecycle form, would not be allowed.
    With acrobat 7.0.5, those functions already work in any form created with livecycle.
    Is this a new functionality? Or someone has forgotten this methods...
    Thank you.

  • Export PDF to Excel from adobe/cloud hosted document

    Hi,
    I am working with several files of ~50MB from a remote location with a poor internet connection. When trying to do the upload & export/conversion from PDF to excel, I get getting errors to the effect that service was un available ot network problem so I decided to upload my files to the Adobe file store thinking it would then be quicker and more reliable to apply the conversion on the hosted files through the web interface.
    But....................from the file store menu, I cant see any option to convert/export the file and from the ExportPDF menu, I can only choose files from my local system to upload again!!??
    Please help.
    Sizwe

    Hi Ronald Boone Mill,
    Did you use the ExportPDF service to convert the file to Excel? Or did you use Acrobat?
    Can you please tell me a bit about how the file was created? If you don't know, you can see what created it by choosing File > Properties, and looking at the PDF Producer on the Description tab. The quality of the conversion depends on how well the PDF was written, and some third-party PDF producers may not include all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion.
    If the file wasn't created from a scanned PDF, you may have better luck by disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community

  • CS3 Save for Web bugs - No answer from Adobe in all forum posts

    I just upgraded to Illustrator 13.0.02 and the problem is the same: Slice names and output settings are not remembered/saved like all previous AI versions.
    I don't understand why this post was closed: CS3 Save for Web Problems
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bc41aeb.
    and this one: "Save for Web" names of frames vanish
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc4cd31/2
    It is the same as: AI CS3 - Save for Web & Devises image name problem
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c057eab
    Concerning slice name: It looks like they now have to be saved via drop down menus in order for Illustrator to remember the slice names for export again: "Object - Slice - Slice Options, and then in Save for Web, set the Output Settings for Saving Files"
    In my opinion this is incredibly poor UI design. In prior versions of Illustrator, I would save the names in the Save for Web dialog box by simply double clicking the slice frame, and it would remember the names of my slices for export again.
    Clicking through drop down menus just to name a slice is inefficient compared to just double clicking a slice frame to name the slice.

    This is a bit of an old thread, but I too have recently discovered this problem in working with AI CS3.
    I contacted Adobe support with the question. I asked them why it was not possible to select and optimize individual slices in the Save for Web and Devices dialog in CS3, and then maintain those settings after saving the slices or clicking "Done"... even though that very feature was available and working in CS2.
    Adobe's answer was, quite simply, that they have ceased any development on CS3, including bug fixes, and that anyone who wants the problem fixes would have to buy CS4 in order to "fix" the problem.
    In short, they are quite aware of the problem, but would rather have us pay for a new product in order to have it fixed, than to pay a programmer to spend a few hours or a few days in tracking down the problem and getting it sorted out. This is their short-term solution to a long-term problem.
    There is a workaround to the slice naming, as you have found - name the slices from the Object - Slice - Slice Options menu. It's a royal PITA, I know, but it does maintain the slice name settings.
    However, there is no real workaround to save the optimization and output settings (such as color tables and JPEG/GIF/PNG settings) for each slice. It's a completely broken feature, or in Adobe's own words, "a problem". A big fat bug. Let us not mince words here - it is technical and corporate incompetency. Technical incompetency can be excused - publishing a new build will fix the problem. But corporate incompetency, which tells the programmers that they don't need to fix the problem for "marketing" reasons, is totally inexcusable.
    It doesn't cost Adobe anything to just shelve a problem... at least, not now. But I refuse to buy Illustrator CS4 as a result, because I don't want to give in to their ineptitude and lack of attention to the customer in this case. Which costs them more now, to pay the programmer to fix the error and then publish a new build on their web server... or to tell the customer that the problem won't be fixed and to buy the newest version? You do the math. Read 'em and weep.
    Makes you want to migrate to Fireworks for web comp design, doesn't it. At least Illustrator has an excuse - it's an all-purpose vector graphics application, not specifically a web comp design app. If this were Fireworks, on the other hand, I think that there would be oodles of furious programmers screaming colorful obscenities at Adobe's front door.
    I really like Illustrator for what it does, but I'm not using CS3 for any more web comps after this.

  • How do you get support from Adobe?

    I cannot get any support or answers from Adobe. Chat: they said they couldn't answer my question, I had to call the support phone number. I did this. They asked for my phone number and said they would call back in 30 to 40 minutes. They called back in 5 minutes. I was then put on hold for just over an hour. And then they hung up on me.
    I've had very few problems with Adobe in the past 10 years. Always quick, sweet help. Now, nothing.
    How do we get help? Or are we just out of luck - too big, don't care?
    Here's my problem: I am a Creative Cloud member. I downloaded Flash CS6 on my main computer, and my laptop. I rarely used the laptop, but had to start using it. As I was working with Flash on the laptop I noticed the brush tool did not have any options on the toolbar. No size, pen tool use, nothing. I restarted the program. Still nothing. So, I reset the program by holding down cmd+option+shift as I restarted the program. The proper message came up asking if I wanted to reset, I clicked yes. Still didn't fix the issue.
    Given this program was downloaded, and knowing that problems can happen if the line "burps" during a large download I figured I'd simply uninstall Flash completely, and they go back and download it again. Nope, the button for download says it has been downloaded.
    Now what? Adobe apparently can't help. Any ideas?

    So, the answer is complain on the Adobe Forums if you need help and can't get it through the normal channels.
    Thank-you for your help. After running the CS Cleaner tool it found a lingering file, which seemed to be related to AIR. Apparently I didn't get a clean uninstall and that's why the CC apps saw that Flash was on my machine. After CS Cleaner did its thing, the download became available.
    I just wish getting the answer wasn't so stressful and time consuming. Adobe provides great products, now they just need to follow up with great customer service.

  • Some from Adobe, please respond

    I posted this question last week, and have gotten no response from Adobe. 
    I need to know if the accordion widget works correctly with audio, or if the interface is just incorrect.  The audio is not working the way I would expect. Can someone confirm how this is supposed to work? 
    Logically, when a user selects one of the accordion options, and the option expands to show the text within it, then the associated audio should play.  In the image below, you see the audio icon associated with the content for one option.  However, in the only documentation I could find, it is very vague about whether the audio is accociated with the content, as indicated, or just with the whole object.  Part of this confusion is that apparently you can add audio to a widget in Properties, but that is not what I am doing. 
    If the audio is just associated with the entire object, then the interface below is incorrect, because it indicates that the audio goes with each option.

    You may be working on an older version of the Accordion interaction.  Adobe has made frequent updates to these interactions.  But perhaps your PC doesn't have the latest versions.
    The actual interactions that you see when you open the Select Interaction dialog are the ones located in:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Interactions
    But there is another backup set stored at:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7 x64\Gallery\Interactions
    It would be nice if someone from Adobe could confirm whether or not Admin permissions to these folders are required in order for the automatic updates to Interactions can occur. If so, that would explain why some users in corporate situations that are not admins might find they are still using older version interactions that still have bugs.  When I select one of the interactions in the Public\Documents folder in Win7 it tells me that the own is Administrator.  So this tends to indicate perhaps only when an Administrator is logged on can the updates take effect.  But I could be wrong.

  • Is there a way to export photo images and their metadata from Adobe Bridge to MS excel?

    Is there a plugin, or script that allows photos and their metadata to be exported from Adobe Bridge to Microsoft excel?

    I would like to see the description with the image when it is attached to an email.  I would also like to be able to create a DVD of the images that would include the descriptions when the DVD is played back.
    For that you will need iDVD to create a slideshow of the images and then display either the Title, Description or both as shown below and then burn to disk creating a video DVD to play on a TV set:
    If you want the description on the image itself you'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of those below or the free watermark iPhoto plugin, BorderFX.

  • Exported pdf from indesign drops punctuation when printed from adobe reader

  • How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

    I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer.  I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
    We use adobe premiere pro 4.  We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels.  When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us.  When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel.  Also useless. 
    When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down. 
    this is the problem.  Each of our  4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue.  When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language. 
    Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels?  How do you do it?
    Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

    Hi Steve,
    Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to save or export an e-book chapter from Adobe Digital Editions? Is it possible to export or save from Adobe Digital Editions to an Adobe pdf?

    Is it possible to save or export an e-book chapter from Adobe Digital Editions? Is it possible to export or save from Adobe Digital Editions to an Adobe pdf?

    I hope you won't see this as rude, but what you are missing is the obvious point that Adobe are in business to make money. So they put as little in Adobe Reader as they can, so people are motivated to buy stuff. Every development intended for Reader has severe limitations on feasibility and techniques for this reason; it's a huge (but very common) mistake to just develop for Acrobat and assume Reader will follow.

  • Export AVI from Adobe Media Encoder Mac

    I would like to export AVI files from Adobe Media Encoder (CS5 or later) on a Mac running 10.6.8 or later. Am I able to buy the codecs for Mac to do so?

    [email protected]
    VLC player does get the job done, but I have found it to be glitchy in the past.
    I would recommend MPEG Streamclip much more strongly.
    I trust it much more.
    And free download, for Mac or PC. Just google it. (Though I have only ever used the Mac versions.)
    Though, I don't understand what you mean by saying that the .avi extention seem contrary to what was said above.
    Whatever "container" you use for your video file is what the extension will be. i.e. "video_file.avi"
    Within that container, there will be a compression codec (of which there are numerous options) that the container used to compress the video.
    That codec will not be displayed in the extension.
    MknzBrkr
    I know you posted over a month ago...but maybe it will still be helpful!
    I do not remember the video codecs available within VLC player. Sorry.
    But if you decide to follow my advice to Timoyer and use MPEG Streamclip (which I highly recommend that you do!)...
    Then you can use File > Export to AVI... > and then select "Apple Component Video - YUV422".
    That is an uncompressed format.
    While it will be quite large, hopefully that will be what your client is looking for.
    Good luck to you all!
    And have a great week!

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 exporting data from adobe data set into Excel

    Hello - I am new to this, and have no IS support from my organization, so I am at your mercy.
    I am trying to export the files within my adobe dataset created from Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 into an Excel file. When I do this only 126 files are transferred. There doesn't seem to be any particular cut off or reason. For example last names a-p file entries #1-126, then cuts off at file entry #127 leaving the last half of the alpha q-z. I do have one friend is IS whom on his free time, looked into the program to see if there was a setting or something that only allowed a certain amount of space/files to be exported, but he couldn't find anything. His only thought was that my computer didn't have enough space, but I have 18.9GB of free space on the C:. Any sugesstions and or help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, ALR

    I select all, click the Export Button, and it only gives me the option to save as a CVS Excel type file, sometimes it exports files, other times it wont, when it does, it only does 126 lines in Excel, then won't let me add any more with a second export attempt.
