Extract graphics in separated fm files

Hello,
I am a beginner in ExtendScript and I need to outsource the graphics of my docs. I wish to create a file .fm for each graph found in the doc to be able to generate the images apart and not have to rebuild for each change of doc.
I advance slowly with the docs and examples that I found but I still can not do what I want.
For now I wanted to do this as follows:
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
if(doc.ObjectValid()) {
    var inset = doc.FirstGraphicInDoc;
    while(inset) {
         // Create empty doc from a template
         var newDoc = SimpleNewDoc(File($.fileName).parent.fsName+ "\\" + "DocGraphicTemplate", 0);
         // Insert graphic in created doc.
         // I still don't know how to do this...
         newDoc.addGraphic(inset);
         // Save doc with graphic in .fm file
         newDoc.Save(docPath, newDoc, params);
         // Replace graphic element in doc by the image generated from the newDoc .fm file
         // I still don't know how to do this too
         inset=inset.NextGraphicInDoc
} else {
    alert("No active document could be found!");
Is this the right way to do? If so can someone help me on the sticking points?

Peter,
I sent the test file and graphics per instructions on your site. Thanks very much for your help.

  • I have a problem to  extract data from oracle dump file (.dmp) using oracle database or any other tools.

    Hi,
    EdStevens
    Actually I was using SQL Developer. Sorry for the wrong define question. Now the real problem is:
    I want to read or extract data in a txt file from Oracle Dump (.dmp) file without using Oracle sqlPlus or Oracle Database.
    No need to say that i am able to extract dump data using sqlPlus. But for that, there is a little burden to install oracle database
    or sql Developer.
    I also listen about Oracle Loader a little bit. Is it a tool for providing extraction of data from Oracle dump file.
    Thanks for your previous reply,
    And now waiting for your suggestion.
    thanks,

    This isn't a SQLDeveloper question. You will get better answers in the Database - General forum.
    Oracle dump files produced by the exp or expdp utilities are inproprietary formats which can only be read by the imp or impdp utilities respectively.
    The best way to get data out of a dump file is to import it into a database and then extract it to plain text files using SQL.
    Alternatively, leave it in the database and your application can access it there.
    The exp dump file is mostly plain text, but the format is not published so you could waste a lot of time figuring it out.

  • Extract graphics from fla

    Hi,
    I have a load of FLA files with large libraries of vector graphics.
    Is there a way of forcing Flash to create an export(jpg or swf)of all the graphics in a library without having to manually drag them onto the stage or into a scene before publishing or exporting them?
    I'm thinking there might be an SDK or utility or something that can read fla files and export everything programmatically.
    Any ideas?
    TIA,
    Paul.

    Great thanks. Here's link to a decent example showing how to export images from an FLA library:

  • How to extract text from a PDF file?

    Hello Suners,
    i need to know how to extract text from a pdf file?
    does anyone know what is the character encoding in pdf file, when i use an input stream to read the file it gives encrypted characters not the original text in the file.
    is there any procedures i should do while reading a pdf file,
    File f=new File("D:/File.pdf");
                   FileReader fr=new FileReader(f);
                   BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
                   String s=br.readLine();any help will be deeply appreciated.

    First, you set i once, and then loop without ever changing it. So your loop body will execute either 0 times or infinitely many times, writing the same byte every time. Actually, maybe it'll execute once and then throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. That's basic java looping, and you're going to need a firm grip on that before you try to do anything as advanced as PDF reading. the case.oops you are absolutely right that was a silly mistake to forget that,
    Second, what do the docs for getPageContent say? Do they say that it simply gives you the text on the page as if the thing were a simple text doc? I'd be surprised if that's the case.getPageContent return array of bytes so the question will be:

                byte[] data=read.getPageContent(1);
                int i=0;
                while(i>-1){

  • Use LINQ to extract the data from a file...

    Hi,

    which is a collection of

    The specified day is the date selected on the calendar control. This method will be called from the CreateEventList.
    This method should clear all data from List communityEvents.  
    A LINQ
    query that creates CommunityEvent
    objects should select the events scheduled for selected
    day from the file. The selected events should be added to List
    communityEvents.

    Look, you have to make the file a XML file type -- Somefilename.xml.
    http://www.xmlfiles.com/xml/xml_intro.asp
    You can use NotePad XML to make the XML and save the text file.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296560
    Or you can just use Notepad (standard), if you know the basics of how to create XML, which is just text data that can created and saved in a text file, which, represents data.
    http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/522456/Reading-XML-using-LINQ
    You can do a (select new CommunityEvent) just like the example is doing a
    select new FileToWatch and load the XML data into the CommunityEvent properties.
    So you need to learn how to make a manual XML textfile with XML data in it, and you need to learn how to use LINQ to read the XML. Linq is not going to work against some  flat text file you created. There are plenty of examples out on Bing and Google
    on how to use Linq-2-XML.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query
    <copied>
    LINQ extends the language by the addition of query
    expressions, which are akin to
    SQL statements, and can be used to conveniently extract and process data from
    arrays, enumerable
    classes, XML documents,
    relational databases, and third-party data sources. Other uses, which utilize query expressions as a general framework for readably composing arbitrary computations, include the construction of event handlers<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-reactive_2-0">[2]</sup>

    Hi jackp52432917,
    How was that PDF file created? Please see  Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
    It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?

    Hi,
    We have exactly the same error in IBolt. This error happens sometime and we don't find the reason.
    IBolt has been upgraded to Version 3.1 SP1 and a fix has been developed by the support. After installation, we've work hardly during 2 days for testing all the flows by the customer without having this error.
    Ibolt works as a service and when this error occurs, the service stopped and must be restarted.
    In our flows, we have put a delete of the observer.dll file just before the rest of the flow but it doesn't solve the problem.
    Deleting the directory can be temporarly a solution but the error come back another day.
    Each time the SBO client or DTW is started, the %temp%\SMS_OBJ_DLL directory is created...
    When you just delete the observer.dll file and leave the rest of the directory like it is, the file is re-created when you start and log to SBO. I would say that this file is a copy of another file observer_800178.dll (800178 depending of the version of SBO yoi have). 800178 corresponds to SBO 2007 A PL 42.
    Do you have more information since your post has been send ?

  • [Forum FAQ] How do I export each group data to separated Excel files in Reporting Services?

    Introduction
    There is a scenario that a report grouped by one field for some reasons, then the users want to export each group data to separated Excel files. By default, we can directly export only one file at a time on report server. Is there a way that we can split
    the report based on the group, then export each report to Excel file?
    Solution
    To achieve this requirement, we can add a parameter with the group values to filter the report based on the group, then create a data-driven subscription for the report which get File name and parameter from the group values.
    In the report, create a parameter named Name which use the Name field as Available Values (supposing the group grouped on Name field).
    Add a filter as below in the corresponding tablix:
    Expression: [Name]
    Operator: =
    Value: [@Name]
    Deploy the report. Then create a data-driven subscription with Windows File Share delivery extension for the report in Report Manager.
    During the data-driven subscription, in the step 3, specify a query that returns the Name field with the values as the group in the report.
    In the step 4 (Specify delivery extension settings for Report Server FileShare), below “File name”option, select “Get the value from the database”, then select Name field.
    Below ‘Render Format’ option, select Excel as the static value.
    In the step 5, we can configure parameter Name “Get the value from the database”, then select Name field. 
    Then specify the subscription execute only one time.

    For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
    in a supported way?

  • "Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File" error message when installing new drivers

    Hello, I'm trying to install new drivers for my HP Photosmart C4385 Printer.  I downloaded the full feature drivers for Windows XP 32-bit, and when I start to install (extract), I get the error message:
    Extraction Failed
    Cannot Open Output File
    And the process closes.  It happens at about 85% extraction every time.
    Any idea why?  I called HP but since it is out of warranty they wanted money, which I think as absolutely ridiculous - won't even give me basic support??  Poor, poor customer service.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    If you haven't still got the  Full Feature software installer, download it from the link below and save it to your Desktop.  If you already have it, place it on your Desktop.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20274/mp-53147-4/100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_USW_enu_NB.exe
    Make sure the Printer is disconnected from your PC.
    Download and install 7-ZIP.  Once installed, right click on the software installer for your printer, select 7-Zip and choose extract files, then click Ok.
    Open the newly extracted folder and double click the setup application to start the installation ( the setup application will probably have the same icon as the original software installer you downloaded ).  Connect the printer to your PC when the software asks.
    Hope this helps.
