Help with Will Print - Current Date to apply to several hundred files

Hello,
So I've spent all morning trying to find a solution for my problem, but I know nothing about Javascript, and the more detailed answers I've found are that give step-by-step tips are for older versions of Adobe (I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro).
My Situation: I have several hundred SOP PDFs that I wanted to add "Printed On: current date" and "Notice: Printed copies of SOPs are only valid for 30 days past "Printed On" date. Printed SOPs must be disposed of by confidential shredding." in the footer. These PDFs are then linked to our intranet where all employees open them to print.
What I Did: I went to Tools>Pages>Add Header & Footer entered all the information, entered the "Insert Date" then clicked "Apply to multiple files" and thought that I had done everything. However, the date is not changing...it is staying on the date that I did the whole batch of files with the "apply to multiple files"
What I have found is that evidently i need to do batch processing, with the will print java script to put the following code in (but i'm not sure if this code will put it in the footer?):
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd('dddd mmmm dd yyyy h:MM tt ', new Date())
but i have no idea where to get to batch processing, will print, etc.
I can redo the apply to multiple files so that only the "notice" part will be on the right part of the footer, but can some nice forum person give step-by-step for dummies instructions on how to fix this so the date is current on the left part of the footer whenever someone opens the file?
Thanks!
Heather

Right, so I did find the Actions section under tools....So I did Create New Action>More Tools>Execute Javascript
Then I clicked on the little "Options" box, and all that pops up is an empty javascript window with "/* Put script title here */" Is that were I paste the code I had? Do I leave the /* or erase everything and put the code? Also, i don't see anything about adding a field....
...sorry to be dense about this, but this is way beyond anything i've attempted in acrobat. I do appreciate your help though.
Also, what options will i want selected on the "start with" and "Save to" options...i don't want the end users to have to mess with any prompts or anything, will Start With > a file open in acrobat run the script as soon as that file is opened via the intranet? Also, i'm assuming i then want "don't save changes" so the date will always change? Thanks.

Need help with how to store data in array in from reading file

i have a file named xxx.txt
i need to retreive data from that file. the data that i want to retrieve is enclosed with << >>
temp xxx-123 ccc << 90.5>>
haha xxx-563 sss 85.2
after a few lines, the another record appear.

i would like to record down the data, 90.5 & 190.5, how do i go about doing so, will appreciated it if someone would guide me along. thanks

After you have read a line from the file either
find the location of << and >> and substring the stuff in between or
use regex (regular expression) however this is advanced and may be beyond your level of understanding.

Help with ordering prints

Can anyone help with ordering prints for Shutterfly? I keep getting to step 4 (payment type) and then it just goes to blank page and nothing happens.

Thanks for your help, I am new to all of this. I think it was my edited pics that were the problem, they were to big of files, I had to go and save them as a new file as a jpeg and then went to shutterfly and downloaded from there. I never could get it to work from Photoshop Elem.

Looks like some problem! Just try the following steps. They worked for me: 1. Go to shutterfly website (www.shutterfly.com) and log into your account.2. In My Account Section> Billing Information, add your Credit Card details and Save.3. Logout from your account and open Photoshop Elements application to order prints.4. Now,on step4 (payment type),your Credit Card details will appear magically Let me know if this solution works for you. It can be of some help to other members too.

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? A

Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?

Not sure what plugins you mean, Hornet - Lr doesn't rely on plugins to read new cameras.
If you mean the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin - that's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. Lr has the same functionality as ACR, but it's hard-coded into the program, so if you're looking for support for a new camera, you need to wait for a new version of Lr.
And nobody here can say when Lr support for a given camera will happen.
Hopefully someone with a Merrill will be able to chime in about whether its files work with the current Lr.

Need help with code for adding dates to form

Hello forum goers
I'm new to making forms and figured out how to auto add the date, however I need the form to change the date for every copy made.
For example today is 06/08/2012 if I print 10 copies of the form it will output 10 pages ranging from 06/08/2012 to 06/17/2012. If code exists to do this I would be very gratefull to whoever helps, I also wouldn't mind if that is not possible for manually inputing the start / end dates.
Currently I print 15-30 copies of the form and hand write each of the dates but I'm just getting to busy to do that. I also cannot print one a day it must be in batches.
Thanks in advanced.

What you are asking for is more complex than just setting the current date. Each time the form prints it has to know that it has to change the date. I would suggest doing this.
First, setup a document level script to set the date to the current date. I suspect that you have already done this?
Next, Create a "DidPrint" document action to increment the date. To do this the script will need to scan the current text value of the date, add one day to it, and then reformat it. You'll find information on this type of scripting in these articles:

http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr
ipt-part-3
Since the increment happenes in the Did Print you will need to print each copy individually. If you enter 10 copies in the print dialog it won't work. You have to print one at a time. You can automate this activity with a console script.
One of the advantages of incrementing in the DidPrint is that you can also manually enter a date and it will increment from there.

Help with crazy printer issue? ;)

Hi All!
My printer is about 2.5 years old and just a few days ago started acting crazy. It seemed to have started when we had a client try and send a fax and it never came across. There was an error message that kept coming up... something like "wrong size paper selected?", although the fax was a standard size that fax never came through. We since had friends send faxes and they do come through. But after that.....
Then it started taking a long time to communicate between our computers and the printer. Typically it has printed immediately when we hit the print command. now it takes several minutes..... Like it's tired and thinking a lot and confused. (a lot like me these days, interestingly - must be another forum however ) Anyway we turned it off with the power button on the front of the machine as we have often done, and a message came on that said something like "this machine was not properly powered down, use the power button - which we had. At one point when it was trying to print the fax (which was not two sided) it started to pull a paper out that had just printed and pull it back into the machine. I've never used the two sided feature but figured, oh that's interesting....but not helpful.
I hate to buy a new printer this one is only 2.5 years old. Out of warranty but really? Can't it be fixed? I think we had a PGE power outage over the weekend before the fax came through maybe the power outage impacted it? Is anything going on astrologically that I should know about? (this is a joke and I know another forum) We have four computers that are networked and all 4 computers have the same long delay when printing.
HELP. thank you.
Madison

Hi @madisondelaney I Googled astrological signs hoping to find a solution, but I quickly got confused and thought maybe I would stick with what I know!
You said you had a PGE power outage over the weekend, is your printer connected with a USB cable or is it setup wirelessly? I know you said the computers are all networked, I just wonder what connection type you use for the printer. Also, what printer model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Do you currently have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet, or is it in a surge protector or power bar? If you are currently using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector

I look forward to hearing from you, and working towards a solution!

Please help with wireless printing

I am running a wireless network in the house and having trouble printing. The printer (Canon MP800) is connected via USB to my Windows XP desktop. The desktop is connected via Ethernet to a 2Wire DSL modem that broadcasts the wireless signal to my Powerbook G4 running OSX (10.4.10). I can’t get the powerbook to print, though.
I have followed the instructions at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html up to the point where it says:
“Select the printer but do not click Add as you need to change the Printer Model.”
“Under Printer Model select HP.”
I assume that since I am using a Canon that I should look for Canon instead of HP. The only options I get are
Generic
Other
Apple
ESP
“Generic” is a selection all by itself
“Other” opens up a finder dialog box that allows me to choose a file on my harddrive, but I have no idea where to go.
“Apple” opens a pulldown menu that allows me to select from a list of Apple printers.
“ESP” opens a pulldown menu that allows me to select from a list of other printers. This list includes Epson, HP, etc. but does not include any Canon printers.
I selected the “Generic” option. When I try to print from the powerbook, I have noticed that the printer queue on my Windows XP desktop shows a document entitled “Remote Downlevel Document.” The printer queue spools up with this document, it appears to go through the cycle and then disappear (as a normal print document does), but nothing happens on the printer.
The desktop will print normally. The powerbook will print normally when I connect the printer to it via the USB cable but another printer is created in the Printer List. This printer is named MP800 and is kind: Canon MP800 whereas the first attempt (wirelessly) names it Canon MP8 and is kind: Generic Postscript Printer.
In troubleshooting I have attempted to remove and reload the printer from both the powerbook and the desktop independently to no avail. I have even temporarily removed the firewall (Norton 360) from the desktop to make sure that wasn’t it.
I Googled the term “Remote Downlevel Document” and discovered that it was associated with a virus that affects print servers. I updated my Norton anti-virus and did a full system scan which came up clean. Some of the Google results also suggested that there might be clutter in one of the printer folders in Windows. I should remove any .tmp files I find there, but when I followed the path, there were no such files in that folder.
I apologize for the length but I wanted to make sure I had a full and accurate account in case someone might be able to point me in the next appropriate direction. Thanks for whatever advice you can offer.
I am cross posting this question on the macbookpro yahoo group, the applemac yahoo group and the apple discussion page.

still looking for some help on this intriguing matter... if anyone can help out, i'd really appreciate it! thanks.
edited original post:
I have a Samsung ML-1710 printer which we use with both an iMac and an iBook. When the iMac needs the printer, we connect the printer's USB cable to the iMac. When the iBook needs the printer, we connect the printer's USB cable to the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
Both the computers use the AEBS - the iMac is connected via ethernet (DSL modem) and the iBook connects to the AEBS wireless network.
The small annoyance of having to change the USB cable aside, there is a bigger problem. After every time the printer is used by the iMac, printing does not go through on the iBook. The only solution I've found is to restart the AEBS (through AirPort Admin Utility). As this interrupts the wireless network, it is a major annoyance.
I do not want to spend $ on an Airport card for the iMac at this point...
Is there any way to correct this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Help with Over 30 Days Data

Gurus,
I have to create a ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AGED INVOICE REPORT where I need to to know the Future, Over 30 days (1-29), Over 60 (30-59),Over 90 (60-89). How can I have this info in the report. What are the steps that I need to follow. It's a urgent report. I dont any columns related to Over 30 days........ Is there way to write so sql on the Current date to get that info.
Please Help.

First of all, I think you mean "elaborate" not "allowbarate." ;)
What you need is the date column that represents where the customer payable invoice stands "today," say "INVOICE_DATE." There is a repository variable called CURRENT_DATE which houses the "current date" so you don't have to build it.
1) Click on the fx button of the INVOICE_DATE column and enter: TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, CURRENT_DATE, INVOICE_DATE)
This column will now house the difference between the two dates.
To determine the days an account is delinquent, create BINS as follows:
2) Click on the fx column of the above column you have and then click on the BINS tab.
3) Click on "Add BIN" and in the next window, choose the operand "less than or equal to" and for the value, enter 30.
4) Click "OK" and name this BIN, "0-29 Days."
Repeat this for the rest of your date breakpoints and you now have column that categorizes your measure by what category it falls in.

Help with Capturing Business Graphics data point

Hi,
I created a BusinessGraphics UI element with SimpleSeries and assigned eventId for the categories and data points. I am able to get the series that is clicked through the event but I would like to know which point (value) is clicked as well.
The steps I followed are
1. Created BG UI element, category and SimpleSeries
2. Assigned eventIDs
3. Created an action class and mapped it to the UI element
4. Code in wdDoModifyView is
     if (firstTime)
       IWDBusinessGraphics chart = (IWDBusinessGraphics) view.getElement("bgCSB");
       chart.mappingOfOnAction().addSourceMapping("id", "pointID");
5. Implemented action class with one parameter (pointID) and able to get the value.
Can someone help me to get the data point values from the user click.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kalyan

You have done everything right, except I don't think you can do this with simple series.
Create something like this:
in the context:
series-> (this node can be with 1..1 cardinality and 1..1 selection)
   points->
       label (string)
       value (int)
       pointId (string)
in the business graphics:
create one series (not simple one) and add to it one point of numeric type.
in the properties of business graphics bind seriesSource to series context.
Series: bined poitSource to series.points
Series_points: bind eventId to series.points.pointId
                        bind label to series.points.label
                        bind valueSource to series.points
Values (these are the numeric values): bind value to series.points.value
in wdDoModify method do the same thing as you have done already.
Now, when you click on a point you will receive in your event in pointId variable the pointId context attribute value.
Best regards,
Anton

Help with Java Printing-Custom paper sizes

Hi,
I'm trying to print documents with custom paper sizes out of java.
I can print fine when I don't try to set the MediaSize to a custom size or when I use already named constants like: "MediaSizeName.JIS_B4"
The error message I get is this:
java.lang.ClassCastException
     at javax.print.attribute.AttributeSetUtilities.verifyAttributeValue(Unknown Source)
     at javax.print.attribute.HashAttributeSet.add(Unknown Source)
     at hello.Printy.printDocument(Printy.java:103)
     at hello.Printy.main(Printy.java:135)
The offending line(103) looks like this:
pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH ));The function that its from looks like this:
public void printDocument()
try
          System.out.println("input file name is");
     System.out.println(inputFileName);
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintService printService[] = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, pras);
PrintService defaultService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
PrintService printPrintService = null;
// didn't work pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH) );
PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200, 200,printService, defaultService, flavor, pras);
if (service != null)
     System.out.println("There is a service aunty-may!!");
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(getInputFileName());
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
//pras.add(new MediaSize((float)3.25, (float)4.75, Size2DSyntax.INCH ) );
// - works
//pras.add(MediaSizeName.JIS_B4);
pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH ));
//pras.add(new MediaSize(1,10,MediaSize.INCH) );
     System.out.println("Doc has been set to custom size");
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, null);
job.print(doc, pras);
     System.out.println("any doc for you?");
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to java but I've programmed a bunch in c++.

Hmm ... no real help, but I found this note in the API:
MediaSize is not yet used to specify media. Its current role is as a mapping for named
media (see MediaSizeName). Clients can use the mapping method
MediaSize.getMediaSizeForName(MediaSizeName) to find the physical dimensions of
the MediaSizeName instances enumerated in this API. This is useful for clients which
need this information to format & paginate printing.
