Issue with Opening Files using Multiple Actions

I've noticed a strange issue when I attempt to use multiple actions in my Captivate 4 project.
I have a button that does two things: open an HTML file in another window and make another button visible. Of course, for the Open URL or File action, I'm entering the name of the HTML file and select New from the drop-down list so it opens in a new window.
Captivate doesn't seem to store that setting. When I click OK for that dialog box and then OK for the button dialog box, it reverts back to Current.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Here I am, setting the property...
...and here's me checking Captivate 4 to see if the setting "stuck" and seeing that it didn't:

Hi there
I've recently encountered that behavior myself. I found it was a lot more reliable to avoid using the Multiple Actions for the Button click. Instead, configure an Advanced Action to do the work and you should have better results.
Cheers... Rick

PDFOpenOptions issue with open(file, options)

Hi guys,
I have a script to open JPGs and now I need to adapt it to open PDFs.
I'm getting a "wrong type of enumerated value" error exactly because of the way I'm working the PDFOpenOptions (line "open(fileList[i], pdfOpenOptions);").
I found quite a few scripts that define pdf open options just like I did, but in all of them the root path was hard coded (I need it dynamic).
So, where am I going wrong? Too much time on it, can't see errors anymore... (mac, cs4)
#target photoshop
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.red = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.green = 255;
app.backgroundColor.rgb.blue = 255;
var pdfOpenOptions = new PDFOpenOptions();
pdfOpenOptions.antiAlias = true;
pdfOpenOptions.mode = DocumentMode.RGB;
pdfOpenOptions.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
pdfOpenOptions.resolution = 72;
pdfOpenOptions.supressWarnings = true;
pdfOpenOptions.cropPage = CropToType.TRIMBOX;
var fileList = File.openDialog("Select files to batch",true);
if (fileList != null) {
     for (var i in fileList) {
          if (fileList[i] instanceof File && fileList[i].hidden == false) {
               open(fileList[i], pdfOpenOptions);
alert("Done");
else {
     alert("No files selected");
Thanks in advance!

Cool!
I had to figure some other things out like extracting the path from openDialog
which I didn't find anywhere else.
So it's finely time to share a decent and commented script (with the invaluable
help of Muppet Mark, thanks man!):
//This script is set to open pdf files,
//make 256x256px JPG duplicates,
//create a folder named zJPGs relative to the doc's path
//and save the files there
//Gustavo Soares,
//with the great help of Muppet Mark and many others

Issues with Exporting files using Lightroom 5

I bought Lightroom 5 for Mac a couple of months ago and have been using it without any issues, then out of the blue I ran into export problems. Sometimes the exported images wouldn’t have the sharpness adjustments, sometimes it wouldn’t have the noise adjustments, sometimes the saturation or vibrancy, and then sometimes a combination of the above. I know there’s a known issue that effects noise on export if you export on files sizes less than 1/3 of the original size, but mine have always been exported at full size with image quality 70, exporting as jpeg.
I installed the latest update and that didn’t help. I uninstalled the software and that didn’t help either. I then uninstalled everything completely (including the library) by searching both lightroom and adobe in finder > system files> are included and deleted everything I could find pertaining to adobe lightroom (I didn’t delete everything adobe as I have other adobe products). This didn’t help either. What is really bizarre is that I tried restoring my Mac back to a time when Lightroom worked fine, and this didn't solve the issue, and I've also tried wiping the hard drive and just installing lightroom and this didn't work. This really baffled me.
What I have also found with Lightroom (and I'm sure it's all somehow linked) is that if I'm working on a file, and either close LR down and re-open it, or go to another file and then back to the one I was working on, initially the image has lost it's sharpening again, but if I click on the sharpen slider (without moving it) the sharpening comes back.
So has anyone any ideas on what my issues are and how to fix them. I’ve tried the advice on here too [url]http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/manually-remove-lightroom.html[/url].
My workaround at the minute is to use full screen view when I've completed my adjustments and take a hi-res screen shot, but the problem is that the saved images are only approx 1600 x 1000 pixels, which is fine for viewing on my Macbook pro but not good if I want to zoome etc.

I have both a PC (work) and my new Macbook Air. I am having issues with opening files that I have saved on my USB Flash Drive. The files are not corrupted because it works on my PC perfectly. Could someone advise how to fix the issue?

Please help!!!

Yes, I have the MS Office software for MAC that I bought from the Apple Store.
This is the Error.
Excel Cannot Open this File.
The file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
- I created these files on my MAC, but I have worked on it on my PC. But I can't reopen it on my MAC anymore.
Thanks All for the help.

Issue with Opening a PDF file

We have just completed an upgrade of one of our servers executing Reporting Services.   The upgrade was from 2005 to 2008.
After we have rendered a report and have it saved in PDF format, we start having issues.
If we try to open the PDF by double clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader starts, but sits unresponsive and consumes an excessive amount of CPU cycles.    It never completes the open and we have to kill the Adobe Reader process in Task Manager.
If we start Adobe Reader, and then use the Menu to do FIle -> Open, the PDF file opens immediately.
We have attempted both methods using several different versions of Adobe Reader.    The issue occurs on all versions prior to 9.3.
Since we are a service organization, we are unable to force our clients to upgrade to a more current version of Adobe Reader without providing assurances that this will correct this issue.
Has anyone else seen this type of issue with opening PDF files rendered by Reporting Services?   And if so, what is the cause and how did you correct it?
Thanks
Steve

Hi there,
Please find attached a word document which contains the error that comes up when I try to open the PDF file. This PDF was e-mailed to me from one of the Safety companies that I receive e-mails from on a regular basis. I believe I am running Windows XP and the version of Adobe is Adobe Reader X. I hope this is enough info for you.

I've encountered this error myself upon occasion. If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

Good Morning,
I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old. Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged. It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with. I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there. I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

hi gurus,
Issue with excel file read is that we can read only one file by setting the path from ODBC Data Source Administrator-->System DNS -->Select Work book
what i want to read the dynamic path(Every time I cant go back and set the Work book to select the excel file..
So i came up with a solution to write a Vbscript that convert the excel to csv my problem got solved for dynamic paths the script is as follow:
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
FullName = objArgs(I)
FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
objExcel.application.visible=false
objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
objExcel.Application.Quit
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
set objExcelBook = Nothing
Next
Now this script convert the xls file to csv with comma seprated values
e.g in excel sheet if data is ABC XYZ PQR
csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...
can anyone tell me that what should be the correct code for pipe
so that the output is ABC|XYZ|PQR
AS WE CAN USE THE SCRIPTS IN TOOLS

I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
Hope this helps.

Question about openning files using SDK 10.

I have written a Plug-In for SDK 9 that works wonderfully. One of the functions is for the user to be able to page (Next/Previous) between PDF files on our server. This functionality now longer works without crashing Acrobat 10. All I am doing is creating the URL path to the next/previous PDF, creating a CustomFileSys with the path and calling AVDocOpenFromFile.
Does this no longer work with Acrobat 10 SDK?
Thanks!

Should work fine, AFAIK.
For this level of issue, I would open a formal support request with developer support.

Reproducable program locks when opening files using finders "Today" filter

Hi,
I am experiencing lockups (have to force quit the programs - which works) in different software products when I try to open files using the "Today" smartfilter from finder / the open dialogue. This wil happen when I attach files to websites using a file-input in Safari as well as with Photoshop just to name an example. It happens every time. Don't know why - and sure, I can avoid using a workflow like this - but I think this is not normal.
Anyone else experiencing these problems? Seems to be related to snow leopard since I do not remember having had these issues in the past.
The filetype does not seem to matter. It happened with PDF's, Jpg's, PSD's, etc.

RollingRocker, did you ever get a solution for this? I am having the same problem. I produce a pdf using a JSF third party api called flying saucer, which actually uses itext to produce the pdf. I can attempt to produce the same exact pdf over and over and about 85% of the time the error occurs and the rest of the time the pdf opens successfully with no error. Obviously 15% of the time the reader is completely happy with this pdf, so it is not a malicious document in any way.

Mac Pro 6,1 STILL having issues with Open CL (4K scaling and SpeedGrade direct link grades)

I've seen the staff responses to the issues of the new Mac Pro GPU saying that 10.9.4 fixes everything. For me, it has fixed my export issues, so I'm glad. I'm no longer getting lines and artifacts on my renders.
That's great.
However, I'm still having several issues, and they seem to be linked to Adobe and Open CL.
Here's a video that shows what's going on:
mac pro issues july 7 - YouTube
Issue #1
Like most of you probably, I'm doing 1080p exports of most things I'm working on. The first project shows a 1080p timeline with a mix of 4k, 5k, and 720p footage. Because zooming in so much on a 720p file in a 4k timeline looks so crappy, I'm doing 1080p timelines and scaling everything to the size it needs to be. I started in a 4k timeline then switched to 1080p because the 720p footage looked so terrible. However, in the 4k timeline, I didn't have any of the issues I'm showing in this first part of the video.
When I switched to the 1080p timeline, I discovered a weird quirk: When I resize the 4k (or 5k) footage to the size it needs to be (which varies based on the frame I want), it goes back to the 100% view when I'm scrubbing through it. When I pause, the size of the video goes back to the way I set it. I show this in the video. Then I show what was my working solution for the time being: "scale to frame size", which brings all the videos to the size of the sequence frame size and works fine. Later, I turn off OpenCL in premiere and when I scrub through the video, it doesn't zoom back in or only stay at the size I set when stopped. For some reason all of these issues only happen at 50% scale or smaller. It doesn't happen at, say, 60%.
I've tested this with raw R3D files and other 4K (or 5K) clips (even clips exported from After Effects) and the same thing happens. It doesn't seem to happen with 2.5k footage or 1080p footage.
Issue #2
This is the second project you'll see in the video.
After grading in speedgrade (through direct link) I open my project back up in premiere and start playing it back. The video plays back with delays and frame drops. Now normally, this would be expected. But this is 1080p pro res footage, and this is just an effect added, and the yellow bar appears indicating that open CL should be accelerating the playback and it should do so smoothly.
Maybe I was just wrong in assuming that a simple grade from speedgrade would be able to playback smoothly. I turn off the grade, and it plays normally.
But then, when I turn off open cl and leave the grade on, the video plays back without ANY issues.
So to me, it seems I'm still having issues with Open CL and adobe. I've found fixes that make it work temporarily, I don't need that kind of answer. However, I would like this to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I need to do to get this to work?
Here are my specs:
Mac Pro 6,1 (Late 2013)
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB (x2)
OSX 10.9.4
Firmware: 2.20f18
What you're seeing is latest version of Premiere (CC 2014, v8.0.0 [169] Build)
Everything here is ProRes 422, running from a Promise Pegasus2 R4 RAID (drives: 4x Seagate Desktop HDD 4 TB SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST4000DM000) (that's thunderbolt 2).
I've done everything: I've restarted my computer hundreds of times, I've reset NVRAM and PRAM and done power cycles.
This isn't just some issue that started with 10.9.3 of OSX, the 4k issues happened when I first switched to a 1080p sequence back in February (2014) or so, which means it was an issue even with 10.9.2 and the previous firmware release.
I've reported this issue to adobe.

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Hi ,
I feel you are using ASM but still check the below details:
Cause
Production and Auxiliary have same directory structure and are running on two different machines. RMAN must be told not check that the target datafiles are sharing the same names as the duplicated files being created. Otherwise, the following errors will be returned:
RMAN-05001: auxiliary filename /qmaxnt/u04/qmaxntorafiles/table/QMAXAD08_03.dbf
conflicts with a file used by the target database
RMAN-05001: auxiliary filename /qmaxnt/u04/qmaxntorafiles/table/QMAXAD08_02.dbf
Solution
To implement the solution, please use nofilenamecheck in syntax as follows:
1. Connect to Target, auxiliary, and rman catalog and
2. use script as
run{
set until time "to_date('2005/09/17 14:00:00','yyyy/mm/dd HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate auxiliary channel aux1 type 'sbt_tape';
allocate auxiliary channel aux2 type 'sbt_tape';
duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck;
Make sure to use auxiliary type of channel so RMAN restore take place at auxiliary database.
Thanks,
Rafi.

Auxiliary filename conflicts with a file used by the target database

Hi,
I am using RMAN backup to duplicate my prod database.
My database is 10g on Linux.
My RMAN script is like this
connect auxiliary /;
connect catalog rman/rman@catalog;
connect target sys/sys@prod;
sql "alter session set optimizer_mode=RULE";
run {
allocate auxiliary channel dup1 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel dup2 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel dup3 type disk;
set newname for datafile 1 to '/d05/u08/oracle/qadata/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/d05/u08/oracle/qadata/system02.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/d05/u08/oracle/qadata/system03.dbf';
set newname for tempfile 1 to '/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/temp01.dbf';
set newname for tempfile 2 to '/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/temp02.dbf';
set newname for tempfile 3 to '/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/temp03.dbf';
set newname for tempfile 4 to '/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/temp04.dbf';
duplicate target database to qa logfile
group 1 ('/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/log1a.log',
'/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/log1b.log') size 50m,
group 2 ('/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/log2a.log',
'/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/log2b.log') size 50m,
group 3 ('/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/log3a.log',
'/d05/u09/oracle/qadata/log3b.log') size 50m;
I am getting the following error in the middle

Recovery Manager complete.
Previously the duplicate db was successful, but now it is giving error.
How can I solve this.
Thanks,
Kavitha

5001, 1, "auxiliary file name %s conflicts with a file used by the target database"
// *Cause: RMAN is attempting to use the specified file name as a restore
//         destination in the auxiliary database, but this name is already
//         in use by the target database.
// *Action: Use the CONFIGURE AUXNAME command to specify a name for the data
//          file that does not conflict with a file name in use by the
//          target db.
