Illustrator SDK sample: Windows plug-in error when exporting to EMF

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a plug-in that exports a whole AI document or just a selected portion of it to an EMF file.
I've used classes from [SnippetRunner] SDK sample, i.e. from \Code Snippets folder, and I've encountered a very strange behavior when calling
SnpDocumentActionHelper::ExportDocument(ActionDialogStatus dialogStatus, AIActionParamValueRef parameters)
with formats such as WMF, EMF etc.
If function sAIActionManager->PlayActionEvent() is called with 'kDialogOff' status an error message "The plugin cannot complete because of an unknown error" appears, although the export is completed and the return code is 'kNoErr'.
If I try exporting with a dialog interface (omit parameters or 'kDialogOn') everything is fine.
I checked it both for CS3 and CS4 SDK, as well as for WinXp and WinVista.
I also tested with the actual sample plug-in (SnippetRunner), same behavior.
Is this an SDK bug? Any ideas?

I don't have a lot of experience with this kind of problem, but the first thing I'd check is the parameter block you're passing the action call. I don't know why it would matter if the dialog appeared or not, unless the export settings block wasn't being filled in with everything it needs?
You might try recording an export you perform manually via the action palette, and then saving it to a file. You can open it up manually and compare it (even if it's a binary block) to what you're doing in code. You might spot something that way.
I don't know what else to suggest though. It's unlikely to be an SDK bug, though it could be a bug in the action-aware part of the exporter.

LSCompatibility plug-in error when exporting to EXCEL partial workaround

hey guys. i had a big project at work today that i needed to turn in and when i went to export my file to excel it just kept dying out on me. anyway, i looked at my spreadsheet and decided to remove all the drop down menus and just replace them with the answers. it worked right away! so, obviously we shouldn't need to do this. but for now, use it, it works.

I'm really surprised because here, I may export flawlessly documents with Pop-up Menu items to Excel.
Of course I get the alert explaining that this kind of item is not recognised by XL and that they will be replaced by the values of the cells.
May I know the number of Pop-up Menu cells in your document?
Maybe there is a limit to the number of "problematic" cells.

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

I get missing plug-in error when opening my online bill which is in PDF format. I am using a 2010 Macbook with the latest version of Safari and Adobe suite installed in my computer. Why do I get this error? What should I do?

In relation to my previous inquiry regarding inability to view a pdf file using Safari...
Is it possible that I can view other online bills from other website but not this particular bill from one specific website?
Sorry if I missed any important point in this article -->Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory

'file could not be written due to an error' when exporting jpg

I'm working with an Illustrator file in CS2 and after a certain point it has started saying 'the file could not be written due to an error' when exporting to a jpg.
i've tried a couple things like deleting layers and although the file is much smaller, it still says the same error when exporting.
at its highest it was 130mb as an illustrator file and jpgs were 2-5mb.
i''ve tried copying some of the layers into a new file but the error report still comes when i'm exporting.
i have vector and raster based data in the file and tried turning off/deleting either of the layers and there is no difference.
i don't understand why it's started doing this because before it had no problem at all exporting before.
ANY IDEAS ANYONE? I'm trying not to have to reproduce days of work to remake the file.
many thanks,
P

Mylenium,
Sounds like you know a good deal about this product. Is there any way to restore a color profile/setting to an earlier point?
I don't recall changing it and to tell you the truth, wouldn't be able to say which it may have been set to before - if different.
Thanks,
Paul

Error when exporting reports using MAPI

We created a .NET class that wraps CR 2010 .NET Crystal Reports functions and made it COM visible. This class is used to create a COM object in a js script which in turn used to export reports to a PDF file with the destination MAPI.
It exports reports just fine without any errors however if prior to instantiation the exporting class we instantiate a class that has nothing to do with the Crystal Reports functions, our exporting object throws u201CExternal component has thrown an exception.u201D error when exporting. It appears that it has something to do with the SideBySide feature. I was wondering if somebody knows what causes this and if there is a way to fix this problem.
Thanks for your help!

Error when exporting to flat file in ODI 11g

This works ok in ODI 10g. I'm using IKM SQL to File Append on Windows Server 2008 R2
Getting the following error when exporting to a flat file in ODI 11g: ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array
I've seen a couple of threads like this on the forum, but I've never seen an answer to the problem.

Problem is with the difference in behaviour for the IKM SQL to File Append KM between 10g and 11g.
Our 10g target file datastore had a mixture of fixed string and numeric columns. Mapping from the source to target was simple one to one column mapping. It generated the desired fixed format flat file; numerics were right adjusted with embedded decimal point and leading spaces. Each numeric column in the generated flat file occupied the exact space allocated to it in the layout. This gave the desired results, even though documentation for the 10g IKM states that all columns in the target must be string.
When we converted to 11g and tried to run this interface, it generated an error on the "numeric" columns because it was wrapping them in quotation marks. The result column was being treated as string, and it was larger than the defined target once it acquired those quotation marks.
In order to get 11g to work, I had to change all the numeric columns in the target data store to fixedstring 30. I then had to change the mapping for these numeric columns to convert them to right adjusted character strings (i.e. RIGHT(SPACE(30) + RTRIM(MyNumericColumn),30).
Now it works.

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins?

In aperture 3.4.5, I get unsupported file error when exporting version of photo I've edited using plugins. I have try reinstalling aperture three times, deleting plists a few times, reinstalling plugins, restarting my MacBook Pro many times. Everything I've tried may fix the problem for a very short while and I can export a few photos before it returns. The problem happens with topaz and photomatrix pro plugins after I edited and try to export version.

I had the same problem with the Photomatix plug-in and this solved it for me. I realised it only happened with Photomatix and not other plug-ins so I checked where the plug-ins were installed. The Photomatix plug-in was installed in
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
where ~ is the home location for the current user account. All the other plug-ins however were installed in
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
which is the location that makes them available to all user accounts on your Mac. Moving the Photomatix plug-in to this location solved the problem for me.
Note that the Library directory under the first location is normally hidden, to get to it hold down the Option (Alt) key and select it from the Finder Go menu.

Getting Export Controller Error When Exporting MPEG2 to High boardband & up

I just got QuickTime Pro and MPEG 2 Playback for Windows. I am getting an Export Controller Error When Exporting MPEG2 to High boardband or to the default settings. The file I am exporting is around 60 MB and when it gets to about 15%, the program errors. However, the program works for Medium and low Board band. If anybody has a solution for my problem, I would love to know.
Thanks!

Not sure if this is going to work, but it worked for me. After exporting the movie and I got the error, I noticed that the process "exportController" was still running, so I stopped it from the task manager and am not sure but apperantly that was the problem because once I did that the file open up fine in other players like Winamp. Also after stopping the process the following exports I did seemed to be exported fine without any errors !... worth a shot.

SSRS XML Errors when exporting to .xlsx from Dynamics NAV Database

We use Dynamics NAV for our ERP and have many SSRS reports. We get xml Errors when exporting to Excel .xlsx. I've seen this happen since SQL 2008 R2 and have posted in many places trying to find an answer, but was hoping MS would solve the
issue. The numeric data types in the Dynamics NAV database are all decimal(38,20) and when the value is zero the Excel renderer throws the errors.
We now have over 400 reports and we export them to Excel 2003 format. I'm starting to feel like this is my new Y2K issue when Excel 2003 is set to sunset. I'm fearing that I'll have to do conversions on all numeric data types for all reports.
Both of these are Microsoft products so I'm wondering is this even on their radar.
We're running SQL Server 2012 SP2, and just rolled out CRM 2015 on SQL Server 2014. I get the errors in SSRS 2008R2, 2012, and 2014. Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Skywalker73,
According to your description, when you export the report to Excel, the error “Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the unreadable content.” throws out when opening the Excel file.
Based on my research, it has reported the same issue when exporting to Excel. The issue could cause by numeric columns has a precision of 16 or higher. To fix the issue, we could change data type in the table to a support lower precision, or convert
the numbers in the stored procedure that populates the report. For more information, please refer to this article:
SSRS 2012 Bug – “Excel found unreadable content”. Besides, please refer to this
article to check if non-printing characters exist in the report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Unknown error when exporting 32-bit 5.1 wav audio

I get the ever useful "Unknown error" when exporting the audio from Premiere Pro CS6 to a 32-bit, 5.1 channel uncompressed WAV file most of the time. I was able to get it to work just fine by pasting the audio to a new project, but that isn't working anymore. I get the same error when I change it to 24-bit audio. However, when I change to 16-bit sound it works fine.
First, is there a real audible difference between 16- and 32-bit when it's all going through a WAV to AC3 converter? The AC3 files get dumped into Encore as the audio track so that I can get 5.1 sound on blu-rays instead of Encore re-encoding things.
Second, what would cause it suddenly not work, and how can I get it working again?

That error can happen for many reasons...one of the reasons that I occassionaly get it is because I try exporting a movie to an external drive that has been formated in the old FAT32 instead of the NTSF standard. FAT32 only allows for file sizes up to 2 gigs. And as soon as it reaches that...I would get that error. I don't know if that is why you are getting that error...but it would be easy to check. 1) are you generating a file that is over 2 gigs? 2) is your drive that you are exporting to FAT 32 (just right click the drive in My Computer and select "properties" then just look for what it says next to "file system".
