Newbie - Dreamweaver CC 2014 - Document Scan - Get Save Path/File

Hi,
I've been a programmer for a long time but have done very little web development. Last time I touched dreamweaver has to be 10 years ago. A company I'm working with is developing a web front end for their system. In their existing system, they are able to scan a document by pressing a button in the application. The button push scans the document and open Acrobat Pro. When the user saves the PDF, they are able to get the path where the user saved the file as well as the file name and then they store that information in the DB of previously mentioned system. From the application they are hitting a TWAIN driver to invoke the scanning (if I understood correctly). The scanner I saw this done with is an EPSON GT-S50 and I believe they are programmatically reading the registry to get the last 15 files that were saved and determining the path and file name from there.
Since they are now developing a web front end over the existing business logic, there are some things they have asked me to figure out. The first of which is how to duplicate what I mentioned above in a web front end. That being said, here's what I need to do:
- Add a button labeled "Scan" to a web page with Dreamweaver that will invoke the scan process of the EPSON Scanner.
- Have that scanned document open in Acrobat.
- On save of the document in Acrobat, I need to get the path and file.
- Add a button to view the file labeled "View".
- On select of the "View button", I need to display the PDF on the same web page.
I've done a bunch of reading so far and I haven't quite found what I need. If you can help point me in the right direction or have done something similar or even if you just want to offer moral support (haha) please let me know. I'll respond as quickly as possible to additional questions, I need to move on this...
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for responding. I guess the environment would be helpful.. (Sorry) . The web front in will be on servers in one of the major clouds (AWS/Rackspace/etc) and the DB's will be on other servers in the cloud while the servers will be at the customer's offices. So yeah, it is complicated. What I'm trying to come up with is way to do it without tying the end customer to have to marry their network to the cloud network or forcing them to use RDP or Citrix etc.. Trying to come up with the most flexible option. One other thing they are shooting for is mobile compatibility. I just started working on this with them, I wasn't involved in the meetings along the way...
Thanks,
Rob

Script to Save Path/File Name/login user information

Hi all,
Could anyone tell me how to solve this below problem.
·        Here i Need to write a script which does the following
            In Adobe Illustrator CS2, when i run script then the path information of the current open file, Filename of the file and the Login person name has to be recorded in a text file and saved onto the server. (Ex \\10.99.0.60\filehistory\ [today].txt).
·        All these activity should take place simultaneously by executing the script once.
·        Collect path/File name/Login information and write it to a file. After writing save it to a location in the server. All these should occur in one shot.
·        For different opened files of the same day work, different information (path/File name/Login) will be collected and appended to the same text file and locations.
·        Different files will be created for information about on each date.
Regards,
Sanat

Try This. (BTW, i am a newbie, learning Applescript now)
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set filePath to get file path of current document
set filePath1 to POSIX path of filePath
set userName to get short user name of (system info)
tell application "Finder"
set theFilePath to (path to desktop as string) & "test.txt" as string
set theFileReference to open for access theFilePath with write permission
set theResult to get eof of theFileReference
write filePath1 & " User Name: " & userName & return & return starting at theResult to theFileReference as string
set theResult to theResult + 1
close access theFileReference
end tell
end tell

After the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan and save the file to desktop or documents. You can only see the image in the print preview area. Does anyone know how to fix this or when a fix will be out?

After Aple support downloaded the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade on my MacBook Air, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan a document and load the file on to my desktop or document file. (You can see the doc image in the preview but it doesn't save it.) Does anyone know an Apple fix for this or when the fix will be out? After hours of trying reloading, and the usual fixes, etc. Apple told me to call HP, and HP told me they don't support Mac. It does not seem honorable of Apple to put out an upgrade and not tell people it will destroy their scanning ability, and that the only thing to do is to buy another printer/scanner.

Have you tried using Applications/Image Capture to scan.

Saving documents via Scripts: Get current file name and set save path/file type

I am writing a script that will:
-Make all layers invisible
-Make a layer named "background" visible
-Delete all the invisible layers
-Save the docment as an EPS file (leaving the original document untouched)
I am new to scripts and so have based my script by copying code from other scripts.
Here is my code:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var name = doc.name;
var hide = function (){ // hide all layers (based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/644267)
     var L=doc.layers.length;
     for (j=0;j<L;j++){ doc.layers[j].visible=false; }
hide();
// loop through all layers
for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++) {
              // Create the illusrtratorSaveOptions object to set the AI options
    var saveOpts = new IllustratorSaveOptions();
    // Setting IllustratorSaveOptions properties.
    saveOpts.embedLinkedFiles = true;
    saveOpts.fontSubsetThreshold = 0.0
    saveOpts.pdfCompatible = true
//Set up Variable to access layer name
          var currentLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
// Loop through the layers and make the back ground layer visible
          if (currentLayer.name == "Background") {
                    docName = name + currentLayer.name+".eps";
                    currentLayer.visible = true;
// Delete Invisible Layers (based on http://www.cartotalk.com/index.php?showtopic=7491)
var myDoc=app.activeDocument;
var layerCount=myDoc.layers.length;
for (var ii = layerCount - 1; ii >= 0; ii--) {
    var currentLayer = myDoc.layers[ii];
    currentLayer.locked = false;
    var subCount = currentLayer.layers.length;
    for (var ss =subCount -1; ss >= 0; ss--){
        var subLayer = currentLayer.layers[ss];
        subLayer.locked = false;
        if (subLayer.visible == false){
            subLayer.visible = true;
            subLayer.remove();
    if (currentLayer.visible == false){
        currentLayer.visible = true;
        currentLayer.remove();
// Save Out Document with New Name
var saveName = new File ( doc.path + "/" + docName );
doc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts );
Everything works fine except:
1) It saves the document with the name AdobeIllustratorBackground as opposed to the name of the document
Also, I am not sure how to tell the script to save as EPS and to specify the save location.
Could some one give me some pointers?          Thanks!

Thanks! I changed my code to this:
var title = doc.name;
var title = title.substring(0, title.length - 3);
And it now works! (The substring thing removes the .ai extenion).
However, how do I get it to save it as an EPS? (I found this script that saves as PNG, but I am not sure how to adapt it to EPS).
Also, how do I set the file output path?
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 Can't save an edited page? Crashes?

Oh well, it's the thought of update software that counts.

Hi Devendar,
Thank you for the email. I’m running a MacBook Pro6,2 with 8 GB of RAM, in OS X 10.9.5 (13434). Any existing file I open in Dreamweaver, make a change, then attempt to save, Dreamweaver responds with a spinning beach ball and I force quit after a few minutes. Any new file and modify (insert an image, delete a letter in a word, etc.) then attempt to save results in the exact same action.
I have uninstalled Dreamweaver and reinstalled it—same results.
Here’s two recent crash reports:

Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 sharing violation with CSS files

I am getting the following error while working with a CSS file in Dreamweaver:
Encountered a sharing violation while accessing:
c:\<path to file>\css\style.css
I have searched and tried a range of difference fixes - but no fix has worked as yet, and many of the solutions don't apply to my situation. This just keeps occurring when I access certain CSS files.
The CSS files are part of a web app that gets run using a local server - and when the server is running I can save the CSS file a couple of times, then after a few saves (and refreshes of the browser to see my changes) I get this sharing violation and can no longer save changes to the file.
I have installed various locked file inspection apps to find out what is locking the file and to see if I can force it close - but all the apps I have tried report the file as not being used or locked. Therefore none of these apps have enabled me to "unlock" the file to then save changes.
But if I copy and paste the contents into any other editor like Sublime Text 2, Notepad, Notepad++ then I can save the CSS file no worries. When I flick back to Dreamweaver, it prompts me saying "The file has been modified outside Dreamweaver" - so I choose to reload the file and I try and make a change and save it and I am back to encountering a sharing violation again.
If I stop and restart the server (which takes about 2 minutes - so not a viable fix) I can get access to the CSS file in Dreaweaver again, but a few saves and refreshes of the browser and it reports it as locked again. I think Dreamweaver is falsely reporting this violation. Because every other application I have tested (Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text 2 - even Microsoft Word!!!) has no issues accessing the file, just Dreamweaver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Have you tried changing the DW settings to look like this:
You want to remove the Check in/Check out stuff because it is for people working in groups and making changes independently. Make sure you click on the APPLY button after the changes and perhaps close and restart the DW.
Good luck.

Get/Save PDF file generated by Reports.

How can I get the temporary .pdf file stored in the cache by Reports Server when, there is a request for a report?
When the a request to view output as PDF file? Reports server stores the output PDF file in the server cache but generates bogus alphanumeric files. Is there a way I can save it myself so that I can capture that file for future use. or maybe a Reports API?

When it appears in the browser you could use "Save As" to save it locally.

FM for MatchCode to get Server path-file ?

Hi
I have used a FM (F4_FILENAME) for make a match code
to set for file names, and this FM shows the computer directories and files to select one.
I need some FM like that, but for the Server (not the PC).
Does somebody knows a FM wich allows me to navigate in Server paths and Files and select one file ?
Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank
I dont think any special authorizations are required for executing this FM.
Can you let us know the OS of the other system.
Also check if FM: <b>F4_FILENAME_SERVER</b> can help you on both.
Kind Regards

How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?

How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?
I need to save all files from web and store onto a drive to reupload to a new domain name. I use Dreamweaver CS3.

First define your Local Site folder in Dreamweaver. DW will use this folder to store your site files.
Go to Manage Sites > New or Edit site. See screenshots.
Servers: Enter your remote server's log-in details. When complete, hit TEST to see if the connection is working. If all is well, hit SAVE.
From the Files Panel (F8), click on Remote Server to show the files that are currently there. Click the green Down Arrow to GET files from remote server to your local site folder.

Help!! - "The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."

New OJ6830, latest HP software installed on Win7 64 bit.
HP Scan scans and displays the scanned pages. But, when I try to save the file as a pdf or tiff, I get the following error message:
"The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."
BTW, I have tried running the app as Administrator and have disabled my antivirus software.
Why won't the HP scan app save the file? Has anyone else seen this error message?
Is there anything else I can do, or this this just a major bug in HP scan software?

Mike,
One Idea:
Make sure you have "San Preview" checked else the software will not accept "specified location".

Save Scan to Specified Location

Dreamweaver CC 2014 - Where is the .exe file located?

I can easily find the Dreamweaver CC (ver. 13) .exe path, but it's apparently not the same for Dreamweaver CC 2014. Where is the path for it?

C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014
or
Applications :: Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014

An unknown error appears when I try to save older files in CC 2014. If I outline the fonts, I can save.

It also happens with my illustrator.
Have you found a solution with Adobe Support?
You can transform the all fonts in curves, but itll be impossible edite again. Sad. too sad.

"couldn't save media file" error when saving

I'm using Keynote 2.0.2 and for some reason, it won't let me save my presentation when it includes a 3.3Gb quicktime .mov file.
The presentation runs perfectly on my laptop, but when I save, the spinning ball appears and then I get this:
"The following errors occurred while trying to save this document:
Couldn't save media file - week3edit.mov"
This is driving me nuts, especially as I can insert exactly the same .mov file into a PowerPoint presentation and have it save no problem!
What could be causing this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Barry

Use only numbers or letters in the file name. I've
seen failures in files that use even simple
punctuation. Cynthia's sound.mov should be
cynthias_sound.mov.
The other issue could be "protected" files. You can't
share iTunes Music Store files. If the file extension
is .m4p the file is protected.
These are .mp4 files that I converted. No copyright issues. And there is a space in the file name, but there are in all the other file names as well.
Weird, huh?

How can I get the path name and rename it?

I Hope someone who knows more about automator than I can help me out here. What I'm trying to do is get the path file name, while also changing part of it. Here is my example:
I can get the path name with this "Get Path" script I found http://automatorworld.com/archives/get-path/all-comments/
It does half the job so I just need to tweak it but know how. When I get the path this is what I'll get: /Volumes/Public/Creative Services/Campaigns/2010/NCDDiv-32CDV Upgrade/NCDDIV-32Versions.xls
I need to remove the beginning part"/volumes" to "file://///nhmanmkt01"
This is so I can send the path from our sever where we keep our files to my windows friends so they can open it.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

ok, make the following workflow.
1. get selected finder items.
2. run shell script
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"|sed 's%/Volumes%file://///nhmanmkt01%'
done</pre>
set the script to accept input as arguments
3. copy to clipboard
save it as a finder plugin.

Save as file format CSV in Excel

Does anyone know the correct syntax on this one?
I have an excel file which should be saved as CSV.
This is what I came up with, but it doesn't run.
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
activate worksheet "worksheet1"
set fileSaveName to get save as file format CSV file format filename
save as filename fileSaveName
if fileSaveName is not "" then
display dialog "Save as " & fileSaveName
end if
end tell

It's not surprising it doesn't run but that's not entirely your fault. Excel has pone of the funkiest dictionaries around - I think they forgot to read the AppleScript Implementor's guide and instead tried to bolt VB on instead.
Anyway, I digress...
I'm not sure what you expect this line to do:
set fileSaveName to get save as file format CSV file format filename
but it's completely invalid. For one, save as is a command verb, not a function, so you cannot get save as.
If you read the dictionary for Excel's save as command you'll find:
save as sheet ¬
filename unicode text ¬
file format as ¬
password unicode text ¬
write reservation password unicode text ¬
read only recommended boolean ¬
create backup boolean ¬
add to most recently used list boolean ¬
overwrite boolean ¬
save as local language boolean
so the first, required, parameter is the sheet to save followed by any number of the optional parameters. Given the above, I'd expect your script to look more like:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
save as worksheet "worksheet1" file format CSV file format filename "whatever.csv"
end tell
which is completely bass-ackwards, if you ask me, but that's how it goes.
