How to execute Actions programmatically in Acrobat X?

Hi,
I need to create and execute Actions programmatically. Is this possible?
Can anyone provide me the documentation for this?
Thanks.

I don't think either of these actions is supported. You can run the individual steps offered by action processors using the AVCommand interface, but the packaging up of AVCommands into batch processes or actions is a non-automatable UI task.

How to execute action on row change automatically?

Hi all,
Is it possible to trigger an action when a different row is displayed on the screen?
This is what I have
- An iteratator (materialsIter) bounded to a table containing material details
- On a jspx page, I Have a dropdown list containing the materials discription (bounded the materialsIterator) I created this list by drag/drop the view object from the data controls and drop it as an ADF Navigation List.
- I created a form displaying the details of the selected material. The form is related to the same Iterator
- I added a partial trigger on the form referencing the selectBox
So, when I select a material in the dropdown box, the corresponding details are displayed.
Now, I want to execute some code at the moment a new material is selected. How can I do this?
I was thinking to use the valueChangeListener on the dropdownbox, and find the currentent row with a DCIteratorBinding. But when doing this, I found the old row and not the new row. In other words, the valueChangeListener is executed before the iterator changes to the new row.
How can I add a method somewhere in my backingbean that is executed when an other row is selected from the dropdownlist?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I already use a valueChangeListener on this with autosubmit on true.
To give you an example of what happens.
- Suppose I have two rows in the materials table, A and B.
- In the valueChange listener on the select box I add code to print the material of the current row using the DCIteratorBinding
- If I run the program, by default, the first material (A) is selected in the box.
- If I now select material B, in the console is printed "Selected material A" immediatly after I select it. Just a moment later, the details of material B on the form are shown.
So, first it executes the ValueChangeListener and afterwards, the new current row is selected.

How to execute acrobat javascript thorugh acrobat plugin???

I need to perform a task using javascipt...but i am not able to run javascript from my plugin...I tried it using AFExecuteThisScript method given in API but it asks for " _gAcroFormHFT"..How can i import HFT into my plugin???
Is there any other method to execute a javascript from acrobat plugin??

You need to declare a (global) variable something like:
HFT gAcroFormHFT;
Then initialise it in your plugin's PluginImportReplaceAndRegister method, something like:
ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 PluginImportReplaceAndRegister(void)
gAcroFormHFT = Init_AcroFormHFT;
return true;

How to add a file to an existing package programmatically in Acrobat 8?

Hello
Is it possible to add a file to an existing package programmatically in Acrobat 8? (embed a pdf file in a pdf package programmatically); If so, how should I do it?
Thanks in advance,

Finally, I found out how to add a file to an existing package programmatically by using JavaScript (function: app.execMenuItem("AddFileAttachment")). Thanks for your help Ironsenth. However, I need to specify the file to attach programmatically and I can't figure out how to do it.
Could you let me know where I can find this information (what document to read)? Is there any parameters for the 'AddFileAttachment' method?
Thanks in advance,

How to create a line without using execute action method.

Hi All,
I want to create a line whose weight and co-ordinate are given to me. I am using ActionDescriptor and execute action method to do this.
Here is my code:
    var idcontentLayer = stringIDToTypeID( "contentLayer" );
    var idStrt = charIDToTypeID( "Strt" );
    var idHrzn = charIDToTypeID( "Hrzn" );
    var idPxl = charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" );
    var idVrtc = charIDToTypeID( "Vrtc" );
    var idPnt = charIDToTypeID( "Pnt " );
    var actRef = new ActionReference();
    actRef.putClass( idcontentLayer );
    var layerDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    layerDesc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), actRef );
    var lineDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    lineDesc.putClass( charIDToTypeID( "Type" ), stringIDToTypeID( "solidColorLayer" ) );
    var propertyDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    var strtPointDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    strtPointDesc.putUnitDouble( idHrzn, idPxl, startX);                         //startX, startY, endX, endY are given..
    strtPointDesc.putUnitDouble( idVrtc, idPxl, startY);
    var endPointDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    endPointDesc.putUnitDouble( idHrzn, idPxl, endX );
    endPointDesc.putUnitDouble( idVrtc, idPxl, endY );
    propertyDesc.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "Strt" ), idPnt, strtPointDesc );
    propertyDesc.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "End " ), idPnt, endPointDesc);
    propertyDesc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( "Wdth" ), idPxl, weight );               // weight is given.
    lineDesc.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "Shp " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ln " ), propertyDesc );
    layerDesc.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "Usng" ), idcontentLayer, lineDesc );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Mk " ), layerDesc, DialogModes.NO );
Is there any other way to do the above (using photoshop scripting method)?
Thanks,
AI

You can only create normal and text layers using the Object Model. For other layer types you have to use Action Manager.

AIS CC: how undoing the actions of a JS run via app.doScript

Hello,
AIS CC (9.0)
I wrote a JavaScript, which I can properly run through app.doScript(UndoModes.fastEntireScript, etc.).
Now, at a given time, I would like to programmatically undo the actions of my own script.
The various resources I have got here (InDesign_ScriptingGuide_JS (CS6), InDesign_ScriptingTutorial, the ExtendScript Toolkit Object Model browser) suggest things (app.undo(), app.documents.item(0).undo(), etc.) which fail, when executed on my AIS CC.
Any idea or tip, on how to undo actions submitted via doScript on AIS CC?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
GB
Snippet:
var main = function()
     // something
app.doScript(
     main,
     ScriptLanguage.javascript,
     undefined,
     UndoModes.fastEntireScript
     ); // << this works perfectly: the actions in the "main" function are executed
app.undo(); // << this will fail with "app.undo is not a function"

Thanks for your fast reply.
you're undoing the entire script, which is probably not what you want.
Undoing everything embedded in my "main" function is really what I want to achieve.
Whether it's a bunch of complex code, or nothing at all (as in my snippet, where "main" contains only a comment line ), it's what I want.
the recommendation is to us entireScript
I changed my "UndoModes.fastEntireScript" into "UndoModes.entireScript", as you suggested; with no avail so far: I still get the same "is not a function" error.
Actually, I have the feeling that I do not understand/master the InDesign DOM here, and am simply trying to make a call to a method (undo) which does not exist in this class (app) - despite the Adobe Reference Manual says it does...
It sounds an inefficient way to write a script
My script makes some changes in an InDesign document ("main" function), then exports it to PDF (out of the "main" function).
Then, the environment I work with (XMPie) will inject variable information in the InDesign document for the next recipient.
At this time, I need the document to be reset to its original design.
That's why I need to undo all the changes applied by the "main" function.

How to execute CGI Programs in Tomcat Server

Hi,
I am working on executing Perl Scrtipts(or CGI programs) in Tomcat Server.
I have downloaded ActivePerl 5.8.0 6.0.3 build.I have modified some .jar files in tomcat\server\lib.
I have changed conf\web.xml to access the CGIServlet.class that is in servlets-cgi.jar.
My example.cgi is
#!c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
print
"Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
foreach $var (
sort keys %ENV) {
print
"$var=\"$ENV{$var}\"\n";
@values = split(
/&/,$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});
foreach $i (@values) {
($varname, $mydata) = split(
/=/,$i);
print "$varname = $mydata\n";
and my test.html is
<HTML>
     <HEAD>
          <TITLE>Environment Variables using GET</TITLE>
     </HEAD>
     <BODY>
          <FORM ACTION="cgi-bin/example.cgi" METHOD="POST">
               Press submit for a list of environment variables. <BR>
               First Name: <input type="text" name="fname" size=30><p>
               Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname" size=30><p>
               <input type="submit">
          </FORM>
     </BODY>
</HTML>
here I have changed url mapping in web.xml to cgi-bin.
The test.html produces two text fields first and last name on submit:
it accesses:http://localhost:8080/smalltownpapers/cgi-bin/example.cgi?fname=Tim&lname=Eden
this should print some environmental variables but it is producing an empty page.
Tomcat is not showing any errors or Tomcat is not at all listening.
Can any one help me to solve this and how to execute Perl scripts in Tomcat server
Thanks,
Regards
Murthy

Sorry, I've never done this. I went to the Tomcat site and pulled down the CGI docs, which you might have seen:

No other help available from me. Sorry.

Workflow Questions - How to execute the steps in a workflow automatically?

I am using MDM 5.5 SP6.
My Question is how to execute the steps in the workflow automatically. That means NO user interaction.
I have a simple workflow, Start- Process -- Syndicate - Stop.
When a new record added /updated/inserted this workflow will start automatically. The workflow inbox, the workflow status is u2018Receivedu2019 Step is u2018Processu2019. Now I have to right click on the record then u2018Next Stepu2019 then click on u2018Syndicateu2019 then workflow completes automatically.
How to execute the Syndication step automatically?. I donu2019t want to have any user interaction to syndicate these records.
Is this possible?
The reason for this is I want to do some field validation and based on the field validation some assignments then then I want to syndicate these records without user interaction..

Hi,
If you want to do some validations and then based on result assignments on some of the fields before syndicating, then you have to use workflow. Only syndication server will not fulfill this requirement.
you may try by making validation's automatic property as "Error". This way it will not allow to add any record not fulfilling validation. You can also try using calculated fields instead of assignment.
I am not sure if you can make your workflow fully automatic, because atleast one process step is must for any workflow, and process step means user action.

Shiv

How to call GUI/Dialog in Acrobat sdk Plugin

How to call GUI/Dialog in Acrobat sdk Plugin using VC++ here is my code
ACCB1 void ACCB2 MyPluginCommand(void *clientData)
HMODULE hAppInst = GetModuleHandle(NULL);
DialogBox(hAppInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, NULL);
HWND hWnd = ::CreateDialog(hAppInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, DlgProc);
::ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW);

You can, with care, use Windows API calls in a plug-in. But you have to understand the process of loading resources. In particular, the calls you use try to load resources that belong to the main executable, which is Acrobat.exe. Plug-ins have their own instance handle, which is conveniently stored in gHINSTANCE.
In certain cases, especially modeless dialogs, there may be extra calls to make things work properly.
You do need to know how to use the Windows API, and your sample lines seem confused, unless you intended to first display a modal dialog then open the same dialog as modeless. That's something for another forum,

How to execute a update query when the particular date changes

hi all,
i am using date base 11.1.0.6.0,
i am trying a small update query it should fire when particular date changes in year.
i think for trigger but i didn't get how to execute it.
Regards,
Pavan

Hi, Pavan,
Use dbms_scheduler to run a procedure at a given time (or at repeatedly, at given times).
A trigger is good for re-acting to certain actions in the database, someone INSERTing a row in a given table, for example. Nothing will necessarily be happening when you want your procedure to run, so a trigger is not good in this case.

How to execute a method after page Load?

My question is very similar to what was discussed in following thread:
How to execute a method after page Load?
My requirement is that I want to run a method in backing bean of a page, immediately after the page gets loaded. In that method I want to invoke one of the method action included in the pagedef of this page, conditionally.
I tried using the approach given in the above thread, i.e to use <f:view afterPhase="#{backing_security.setPermPriv}">, but the problem is that our page is not using 'f:view' , so I explicitly added one f:view with afterPhase property set , but it is not working, page it self is not getting loaded, it is throwing the error:

Hi,
I assume that your view is a page fragment and here - indeed - the f:view tag cannot be used. If you use ADF then one option would be to use a custom RegionController on the binding layer to listen for the render phase to invoke the method. Another option would be to use a hidden field (output text set to display="false" and have this component value referencing a managed bean property. The managed bean property's getter method can now be used to invoke the method you want to run upon view rendering
