Looking for Javascript to replace 'selected' pages in a pdf?

Hi
I've searched the web looking for a solution to a time consuming issue without luck. I have multi-page, print ready pdfs - but have to make corrections to a number of 'random' pages in InDesign. I have to replace only the random corrected pages in the standing pdf.
An ideal solution would be a script that could launch an interface allowing input of the corrected page numbers eg: 3,5,14,56,92,146, together with a facility to select the corrected file/or files to replace pages, page number for page number in the print ready pdf. Does anyone know of a solution or possible starting point?

Hi,
Have you tried transforming this using XSLT?

Printing selected pages of a PDF to Adobe PDF

I have Acrobat 9, Windows 7, and was happily creating new files from existing PDFs by printing selected pages to Adobe PDF. After having done this a hundred times or so, the process stopped working. I got this message: "When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, 'Adobe PDF Settings' page and turn OFF the option 'Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.'" Then I get a message, "The document could not be printed." Then I get a message, "There were no pages selected to print."
First, I wasn't having any problems up to this point; second, I'm not trying to create a postscript file, I'm just trying to print to Adobe PDF (as in, just page 3 of a six-page document."
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I downloaded the Arcobat SDK and now learning to use it with its sample.
However, I got stuck when I run the program BasicIacVB.
I got the following error message:
Cannot create ActiveX component.
When running the line
gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
I run this program on my PC with VS2005 installed.
What extra step do I need to do to use the sdk?
Seems there's no installation package there...
Sorry about my stupid question, I am a total newbie in AcrobatSDK.
P.S. My ultimate goal is to develop the program in VB6 (not using VB2005),
as my client PCs does not (and cannot for some reason) install .net framework.

Looking for Scripts that Replaces Text and Master Pages (Batch Missing Files and PDFs)

I have just found the Script Library panel in FM 10. (Always used InDesign before.)
I'm up to replace a text string and two master pages in 100+ documents. Tried to google for some nice solutions to make this automatically but cannot find any scripts/macros to FM at all.
Do you have som tip where to find such scripts/macros?
To facilitate my work I also look for a batch script that automatically updates the image pathes in each framemaker file (image folder has been renamed).
And at a last FrameMaker -> PDF Batch converter.

100 is a small enough number that no time may be saved writing a script (assuming none exist for the purpose).
I'd be tempted to ...
Create a sourcing file that has the new MPs needed (and safe versions of MPs "Left" and "Right")
Create a new Book file.
Add to it all 100 of the files needing update (this is the only tedious part).
Use Find/Replace from the Book menu to fix the text string.
Select all book component files:
File > Import > Formats
Import from Document [MPsourcefilename.fm]
[Deselect All]
[*] Page Layouts
[Import]

Looking for CRM IC Webclient HTML page

Hi guys
I need to change a value which is found on a HTML page.
The page starts with :
<html dir="rtl"><head><title>Interaction Center</title>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
This html can be obtained if I tight click the page in the browser and look for the
page source code.
But I cannot find this page.
I have searched SE80 under CRM_IC_* modules and found nothing.
Any hint will be appreciated
regards
yuval

Hi Yuval,
Instead of looking into the source code of the broweser better you maintain the parameter CRM_ICWC_TEST with value 0x23456789 in your user setting. This will activate your tool tip and then you will see a tooltip appearing in the application when you point your mouse to the title of a view, telling you the BSP application name .
<b>Reward points if it helps!!</b>
Best regards,

Safari hangs up, seems like it is looking for something, when it opens page

Hello,
I have tried everything, safari upon opening takes sometime to open a page, once that page is open, it is somewhat quick to open other pages within that page, but when going to different pages the same delay happens,
it looks like safari might be looking for an ip addy? I am using airport and have also tried everything as far as resetting, setting up new locations?

If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache and clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
This is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.

Looking for a phone replacement, want the Nexus 5 or One Plus One. Why aren't they compatible?

Hi all,
I am currently in the process of shopping for an acceptable replacement for my current phone. I am looking to buy a phone full price off contract and use it on the network. A few different ones I am looking at and prefer to have are the One Plus One and the Nexus 5. Now I understand when looking online people have tried popping a VZ sim card into both of these phones but have had no luck successfully connecting. Why is this? (I understand Verizon is a CDMA network)
When looking on the two websites, both of these phones contain the appropriate LTE radios and have support for the bands that Verizon currently uses. In addition the Nexus 5 also appears to have support for the CDMA radio and can utilize the Band Classes: 0, 1, and 10; (I'm not familiar with the ones that Verizon currently uses, some incite could be helpful?). The actual tech specs found on the two websites can be seen below:
Nexus 5:
Networks
2G/3G/4G LTE
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
One Plus One:
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
WCDMA Bands: 1/2/4/5/8
LTE Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40
If those are the correct CDMA bands that Verizon uses on their network, then why does the Nexus 5 not work on the network? Is there anything that can be done to make it work? Secondly, I understand that the One Plus One is not equipped with a CDMA radio, but why does it not connect to the LTE network? In addition I understand that Verizon is in the process of rolling out their VoLTE network, if either the Nexus or the One Plus One was able to connect using just LTE then theoretically you would not need the phone to connect using CDMA and everything would work properly, correct?
Looking forward to the responses. Have been a customer for years now and would like to continue that, but am starting to loose faith.

These will never work, and even after VoLTE it probably won't. They're both missing Band 13 which is key to Verizon.
They want you to buy THEIR phones on THEIR network. They don't make money when you buy those phones at cost. Another reason why the terrible Gnex was over $500 when it launched on Verizon. I'm surprised Verizon is getting another Nexus, but then again, it's now $650 so the appeal of Nexus devices is gone. To some, not all. Hope you can find a replacement.

Looking for examples of the Exchange Page

Hey! Any Body??
I am looking to display data like on the Exchange page with
logo and links in the tables. Does any one know of where I can
start looking for something like that? I like the layout of the
Exchange page. If any of you know something please let me know.
thanks.

You can find several examples that will work with the DAQCard-1200 at zone.ni.com/libraries/.
Then look under Data Acquisition. There are also examples that ship with
LV and NIDAQ. Look in ...\Labview\examples\daq\anlogin\.

Digikam update - should I look for a (slimmer) replacement?

Hi!
I'm using Xfce and Digikam, so I have a few parts of the kde libs installed to make it work. Today I was checking the packages to be updated, and there's a new version of digikam. The thing is, that it comes with 320Mb other stuff, needed by kdegraphics, kdepimlibs, and kdelibs.
Since it's an EeePC, I don't have much space anyway, and been wondering, is this 320Mb a replacement of some of the libraries (thus not entirely newly occupied space) or pure "fattening"? Because if I need >300Mb just to download the pictures from my camera, then maybe it's time to look for something slimmer....
Or can digikam compiled such that it's include all necessary libraries and won't need all the ballast?
Cheers!

ise wrote:the "problem" is that digikam needs libkexiv2 and libkdcraw, both libraries are provided by kdegraphics. kdepimlibs is needed for some plugins in kipi-plugins and kdelibs is needed because of kdegraphics. No way to have this thing smaller. I'm not so happy with the dependencies, too, but no way to make it smaller. Maybe you find the standalone libraries on the internet and you can compile against them, but since KDE4 those were included into kdegraphics.
If there's no way to make it smaller, then there's some serious problem with this dependency-web. I mean there are a number of 3rd degree dependencies even (e.g. kdegraphics -> ebook-tools -> libzip) just to get it work...
Is it because of the internal reorganization of the KDE4 libraries?
ise wrote:Smaller/slimmer replacements could be:
f-spot (needs mono)
gthumb
Cheers for the suggestions. f-spot looks better.but it comes with 120Mb "package" of dependencies. The previous digikam is 33Mb, the new 320Mb, gthumb is 8Mb...
Tried gthumb, and it's pretty bare - but that's mostly what I'd need anyway, a downloader. If it had a way to show which pictures were already downloaded and which are new, then it would be total sweetness. So maybe I'll check out some source code later...
userlander wrote:Try gtkam in XFCE4. It's very light.
gtkam - 1.5Mb, very light indeed, maybe a bit too much. I'd prefer not to manually browse through the directories on the camera. Will check it out a bit more, though, it was just a quick look. Thanks!

Thanks! It looks interesting, I'll put together a PKGBUILD hopefully over the weekend and let you know.

Looking for a desktop replacement, how will this one fare?

How will this stand up to some moderate to heavy editing? I am new to the video editing world, coming from music production. I would mostly like to make simple youtube videos for man on the street stuff and work my way up to documentaries and the like, maybe around 45 mins in length or so with lots of graphics and stock footage. Will this be a good bargain for what I am looking for? I would rather it be overkill than get invested in the process of editing only to find out my computer cant cut it...
Thanks a lot you guys I am always learning more when I come here!

BTW...this is something I did recently which got me on this kick. I did it on my brothers Dell. I think it was a 17R if im not mistaken. It took it pretty well and rendering was about 2 hours for this 22min clip which is longer than I would have liked. But I didnt do any color correction or get to heavy into it, I was just learning the lay of the land for Pp.
I will mainly be using AVCHD full 1080p from my Canon Vixia M500 and 1080p from my GoPro Hero 3 Black if that makes any difference...Thanks!

Using browser javascript to copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Air app.

I have posted this question on reader forum as well, but I think it is more suited here...
I am trying to create a note-taking application in air. I want to extract selected text from pdf file as a string object or to the clipboard.
Obviously, all pdfs in my local storage will not be scripted to recieve postMessages and act accordingly, and that is not practical either. So, my problem is, how can I copy the selected text in the pdf file (opened as an object in htmlloader within my Air app) to clipboard or directly in another control by say clicking a button in air application? I suppose, this is possible using javascript, however, I don't know which reader methods are exposed to the wrapper htmlloader control. In short, I want to execute app.execMenuItem("Copy") command through htmlloader javascript. Any alternate solutions are also welcome.
This is similar to passing inbuilt commands/methods/functions (of adobe reader) to pdf-reader plugin embedded in a webpage via javascript. This is possible in IE where the pdf is rendered as activex object, and hence JSObject interface of pdf document/reader is accessible to the browser javascript. I have also read that this same JSObject is accessible to VB as interface for IAC, so as the Air is Adobe's own product, I was wondering if equivalent of JSObject is accessible to htmlloader control as well.
Thanks in advance...
Mits

Thank you Thom for your reply...
from
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
...Through JavaScript extensions, the viewer application and its plug-ins expose much of their functionality to document authors, form designers, and plug-in developers...
As it is explicitly mentioned, that the functionality of adobe reader are exposed for plugin development, I thought someone here might have used external javascript to execute some safe methods in adobe reader. The functionality (i.e. external javascript interface-JSObject) is already available for VB programmers to develop IAC. Further, the Acrobat SDK example called "AcroPDFinHML" shows how one can embed a pdf-reader in a html page and execute some safe methods (like gotonextpage(), zooming etc.) in IE as ActiveX plugin. I have checked it myself for adobe reader 9, and it works perfectly, so there is no security issue as such to implement the same for another browser (like in my case, the htmlloader control in flex/air app).
I intend to create a note taking application in air, where it is very much required that I should be able to copy selected text from various pdf documents, that are open in my app, and subsequently paste/collect/save the collected notes and process them afterwords (offcourse, from the pdfs that allow me copying text). However, it is not happening for me here. As the pdfs are opened through adobe reader plugin, it does not register the copy command executed by my air app. It registers the system level copy command (by keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C), but my air app has no way to execute the system level copy command programmatically. So I am kind of stuck here...
Thanks again for your reply. Having known what am I intend to accomplish, any other (may be alternative) solutions will be appreciated nonetheless...

How to create a pdf file from selected pages of a pdf file?

I basically have an online college catalog that has a lot of information that I need to print out. I know that I can select pages from the main pdf file to print out, but I want to have a separate pdf file that I can look at any time without doing much scrolling.

Hi tanasiluv,
Please check the video: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-acrobat-xi/extracting-pages/

Printing selected page as a pdf in adobe reader

Hi,
I have Adobe Reader for the Mac. I'm dealing with pdf documents that are hundreds of pages. If I wanted to save a single page (or several pages), it seems I have to go through an extra step:
1) print
2) then select printer
3) then get warning window telling me to go to applications dialogue box
4) click ok, go to box
5) select page range in applications printer box.
that's a lot of steps. Preview does this in one step (but has other problems). Is there a way of selecting pages and going directly to save as pdf. I know there's no extract page feature like there is in Acrobat.
thanks for any help,
jeff

Not in the free Reader, no.

Can't crop arbitrary selected pages in combined PDF?

I'm getting weird behavior or seeing a bug when I try to crop selected pages in Acrobat XI.
Steps:
1. Click Create->Combine Files into a Single PDF
2. Add files and combine them as usual
3. Click on the Page Thumbnails view on the left
4. Control-click on a non-contiguous selection of thumbnails
5. Right-click and select Crop Pages. Fill in all the details and click OK.
Expected: Only the highlighted files are cropped.
Actual: All pages between the first selected page and the last selected page are cropped, even if they weren't selected. Pages before the first selected page and after the last selected page are not cropped.
Is there a way to override this behavior so only the selected pages are cropped? In the crop dialog, I can select all pages or a contiguous range (with the even and/or odd options), but no option for just "selection" like the rotate pages option has.
Thanks.
Chris

I should say that the crop pages function was never written to work with noncontinuous pages ... similar to other things like Extract Pages (at least in Acrobat X) which doesn't either, useful as it would be.

Is there a way to replace a page automatically in pdf document

how can i replace a page in pdf document automatically.

Other than GetboxMan's suggestion, you'll want to be sure that the IRS will accept a Word document bfore doing the work. My agency collects tax documents and we're very specific about what you send back. It needs to be something that works with our data collection software.
At any rate, if they DO accept Word documents, you may want to try out the trial version of Acrobat. It has the abiity to save as a Word document (although the success rate can be low). The trial is fully functional and free for 30 days.

Looking for an App that supports Text Searching in PDF (more complex finding text))

I try to explain it clearly since my English not good
when I using Ipad to search with some app like PDF expert. I can search words if I only type one single words or I type more than one words but these words are continuous in one sentence. Example like this
In this case. I type "and for the", and I got the result, because these three words are contiunuous in one sentence
But if I type words that not continuous but seperated in the file like this one. I don't get any result.
So, I'm looking for an app that read pdf and can search multiple words at same time. Like what preview does in the mac
See in the mac preview, we can search different words at same time and still get all the results.
So, Is there any similar PDF app that offer same function on IPad?
THanks so much

Yes, PDFPen for the Mac does do multiple word searching. I just tried it using this example:
I searched the iPad User Guide for "switch control". It only found those two words together.
Next, I searched for "switch". It found additional occurrences.
I did find, however, that I was required to place the two words "switch control" inside double quotes to find the two words together (and only that string).
UPDATE: Oops, sorry, the above statemant about the double quotes being required is false. Sorry, I used Preview by accident when I wrote that.
Indeed, PDFPen works just as you seem to want ... searching for "switch control" (without quotes in the search string) finds only those two words together.
UPDATE 2: Oops ... it sounds like this is just exactly the opposite of what you want. You are looking for something that, when searching for "switch control", finds all occurrences of "switch" and all occurrences of "control". If that is right, PDFPen won't help you.
