Is it possible to call Distiller and Acrobat?

Hey there again...
Following my question in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1449735?tstart=0 , I need to use the 2 PSs I've made, convert them to PDF and concatenate both of them in a single PDF file.
What I need to know is:
do I need to go to Applescript to invoque Distiller and Acrobat?
Or is it possible in ExtensionScript to call Distiller and Acrobat to execute this?
If it is possible to do it in ExtensionScript how may it could be done?
Thanks again for the help!!

No, you can’t do this in ExtensionScript. The only version where you can communicate with Acrobat from InDesign directly via ExtensionScriptis is InDesign 5.0.3, Acrobat 8.0.0 (tested in Windows XP SP3). Here is an example.
But it is possible to trigger an Acrobat JS from AS. I guess you can print two ps-files to Distiller’s hot folder.
Another script may monitor the hot folder on a certain interval, say, every minute: this can be done in AS. When the PDFs in the “Out” folder are ready, the Acrobat JS merges them saving it to another folder and deleting the original PDFs.

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

First smart phone I have owned and the old flip phone was much easier to answer.....just press one button.

  • Acrobat Distiller and music notation application

    Hi All,
    I am on Windows XP, and Acrobat 7.0.
    I am trying to convert sheet music to PDF from the application Finale 2008.
    Occasionaly, sections are produced in the PDF where the lines are lighter, or in some cases are missing altogether.  It is not a problem with the printer, and appears on different printers and different machines.
    The lighter and missing lines only appear when I print to hard-copy from the PDF.  They are not an issue when I print directly from the application.
    Any clues as to things would be randomly changed when printing from a PDF?
    I've attached a PDF that is having that particular issue - You will see it if you print a hard copy on the first line of music - The first line is noticeably lighter than the rest of the page.
    Thanks in advance
    - Dennis

    Sometimes it works by changing the Print Quality (printer properties>Advanced) to 300 dpi, possibly 600 dpi, in the Adobe PDF printer properties. The default is 1200 dpi that causes problems with lines and such. At least it might be worth a try. Then create the PDF with this modified resolution. Keep in mind, that 100 dpi is typical of the resolution of the human eye, unless you are zooming in. At least it is worth a try. It solved my problem with line graphics several years back.

  • Is it possible to take the CDR data from a v4.2 Call Manager and copy it to a separate server where it would be made available for reporting?

    Is it possible to take the CDR data from a v4.2 Call Manager and copy it to a separate server where it would be made available for reporting? We are not interested in migrating the CDR data to v6 because of the concerns it introduces to the upgrade process. Is it possible to get the raw data and somehow serve it from a different machine? (knowing it would be 'old' data that stops as of a certain date). If so, what would be the complexity involved in doing so?
    It seems like the CDR data lives within MSSQL and the reporting interface is within the web server portion of the Call Manager... that's as far as we've dug so far.

    Hi
    It is absolutely possible to get the data - anyone you have in your org with basic SQL skills can move the data off to a standalone SQL server. This could be done most simply by backing up and restoring the DB using SQL Enterprise Manager.
    Moving the CAR/ART reporting tool would be more difficult... if you do actually use that for reporting (most people find it doesn't do what they need and don't use it for anything but basic troubleshooting, and get a third party package) then the best option may be to keep your publisher (possibly assigning it a new IP) and leave it running for as long as you need reporting.
    You would then need a new server to run your upgraded V6 CCM; you may find you need this anyway.

  • How do I create the highest quality pdfs with InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9?  New settings needed?

    I sent a lot of jobs to printing companies by sending them high-res proofs on very large, multiple page jobs with lots of photos and graphics.  Many companies are requesting that I just send pdfs.  I just upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5.  I used to have some special settings in my older Acrobat Distiller  and InDesign which have been lost.  They gave a much better result that what I seem to be getting from the "Press Quality" setting for pdf's.  Does anyone have an excellent list of settings that can used to improve the quality of pdf's?  I don't know if this is a combination of settings in both InDesign itself, as well as in Acrobat Distiller, or if the settings in one program will solve this.  I have a job pending that needs improvement in the pdf quality.  Thank you.

    Thanks Peter.  My last post was specific to using the Print Booklet feature (which is now solved thanks to your help).  But this is related to creating high-res pdfs in general that go to printing companies, and being used for sending high-res proofs to clients.  In general I don't need to set up printer spreads for my jobs (just for the one I asked about in my other post), but I used to have some specific settings that a printing company supplied me with to give the highest res pdf output possible.  Those settings did in fact give a better result than the Press Quality settings built into my Adobe programs.  I have had printers over the years request that I create a postscript file, then use distiller (using the settings they supplied) and I got an excellent result.  After getting a new computer, Windows 7 and new CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade, all of these settings were lost.  I have notes on the settings from a couple of years ago, but they don't seem to apply to the CS5 programs in every given area and I feel like there may be just a couple of boxes that either should or shouldn't be checked that I'm missing now.
    I understand that this is very specific information, and I may just need to go with the Press Quality settings. The printing company that gave me that great info a while back is no longer in business and other printing companies I have checked with won't spend that kind of time with me (or maybe they don't know anything other than using the Print Quality setting).   Maybe within the CS5 program now, the quality of this setting has been improved more than I realize yet.  Again, I'm new to CS5 and am just trying to get everything back to the way I used to have things running, and trying to get the best results possible.
    Thanks again!

  • How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

    I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
    Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
    Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
    Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
    Any help is very Appreciated

    eh,
    The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
    I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
    foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
    That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
    Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
    If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

  • Is it possible to call a adobe form inside a function module?

    Hi gurus,
    i am trying to generate the pdf data source inside a custom function module,
    the function module will call the FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' , then call the function module of the pdf interface. then get the pdf data back and return.
    but at run time i got the error message:
    FPRUNX101, the job already started.
    then the program stopped.
    i checked the service market place, there is a note for that:858325 Message "Job already started" when you display PDF forms .
    according to the notes,it seems that it's only possible to call the pdf generated function module in a program.
    my question is , is there a way to call that in a funciton module?
    best regards.
    Jun
    the note states that:
    Reason and Prerequisites
    At runtime, a PDF-based form is called using a generated function module. If you use the new interface, it is necessary to set the function modules FP_JOB_OPEN and FP_JOB_CLOSE as control structures with one or several generated function modules. In order for the single test from Transaction SFP to work simultaneously, however, the system checks for the test environment of Transaction SE37 (in which the test ultimately runs) in the single test. In this case, the function modules FP_JOB_OPEN or FP_JOB_CLOSE are called automatically.
    If you then test a function module that calls a PDF based form and therefore calls the function module FP_JOB_OPEN itself, this leads to the error message mentioned above.
    Solution
    The test should be carried out using a program that in turn calls the function module to be tested.

    sorry, i found out the reason.
    the fm can not test direct in se37, it should be wrapped by a program.

  • Is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence?

    I have created a custom TestStand operator interface and have modified the default sequential process model to display a UUT information dialog that prompts for more information than just the UUT serial number.  This UUT information dialog is a LabVIEW VI.  To distribute the operator interface, I build it into an executable.  As part of the build process, I make a copy of the UUT information dialog VI (which is part of my operator interface project) and place it in the same folder as the executable.  I have then configured the sequential process model to call the dialog VI from this location.  It would be really nice if I could embed the UUT information dialog VI inside the operator interface executable so that I could distribute just an executable instead of an executable and separate VIs.  Is this possible?  In other words, is it possible to call a VI that is inside a LabVIEW executable from a TestStand sequence just like a standard LabVIEW VI call?

    Ryan,
    The dialog that you've created isn't being directly called by the OI at all and shouldn't need to be included in the same directory as the OI for distribution. Since you are modifying the PreUUT of the default process model, you will give the path to the VI in that step, create a deployment and then manually copy the VI to the directory referenced in the step. The VI is considered a support file for the process model and is not related to the OI at all.

  • Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?

    Hello,
    I have a customer using CRM 11.5.10.2 ( Database 9.2.0.6 / 6i Forms) and will be created a functionality in the CRM screen, where end user will call (via button) a custom application running on 9i Forms.
    Customer believes that there is a technical limitation to achieve that. That is, call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms.
    Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?
    Thank you in advanced for help,
    Marcos Souza.

    I should have thought so, as Forms 9i is exclusively web-driven, so how you launch the URL is immaterial as long as you use a supported browser. As your Forms 9i apps will invariably be on a remote web server, you'll not encounter compatibility issues either. And Forms 6 and 9 development is possible on the same PC using multiple Oracle Homes. Ask Oracle beforehand if you are still not convinced.

  • HT5071 Is it possible to call a locally installed ibook from a hyperlink? What about to a bookmark?

    Is it possible to call a locally installed ibook from a hyperlink? What about to a bookmarked page?
    I have 2 questions..
    1. Can I send a link via email that when launched will open an ibook that has already been downloaded to the bookshelf?
    2. If question 1 is possible, can I take it a step further and call a bookmark, i.e. chapter 3.
    Our company has it's own appstore and I want to send out links to sections of the ibooks using bookmarks or at the very least take them to the start of the ibook.
    I don't need to give them a link to install the ibook as they already have it installed.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Chris.

    That would be cool, but it's not possible. The ibook is not accessible by URL in the user's bookshelf.
