Open distiller with job option from indesign

Hi,
I m doing script for creating pdf from indesign using javascript, upto creating post script there is no problem,
For time being i used "execute()" for generating pdf from ps.
But my recuirement is i need to open distiller and ps should run prefered job option what i m specifying in my coding
Is it possible to open distiller from my indesign javascript?
Please let me know.

Hi Andreas Weiden and thank you for you rapid answer.
I don't think that is a good idea, because the same form ( Y ) is used by other users who can insert, update and delete data from this form.
If i do what you suggested, that will restrict the I-U-D options on the form properties, so for all the users.
Another idea ?
Many Thanks..

"Open Page With" menu option does not list Firefox anymore

I recently updated Safari to 4.0.3 and I am no longer able to open the current page in Firefox via the "Develop > Open Page With" menu option. It does not list Firefox even though I have 3.5.2 installed. Also, I am unable to show the Debug menu. Any thoughts?
thx

When Firefox downloaded the 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 update, the new installation was not recognized by Safari. I had to download the full 3.5.2 setup file and reinstall. That fixed it.

Error message in customizing Distiller's job options settings

I'm trying to customize job options settings in Distiller 8.1.0. I'm on Mac OS 10.4.9, and taking postscript files created in Quark 6.0 to Distiller to create PDFs. I have vendors who have provided settings and I want to transfer those specific customized settings from Distiller 6.0 standard to Distiller 8.1.0 professional.
If I try to customized 8.1's presets, I get the message "An error occurred trying to save the job options." Has anyone run into this error or this situation?

I ran into the same problem. If I try and save the settings file to a different location than the Settings folder (which is located under User_Home\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\)
then it actually works. But if you try and save to the Settings folder it will not save and gives you the error. This only happens with non-administrator users. If you try with an administrator account it saves fine. I checked the folder settings for permissions and changed it to read and write for all groups and it still gives the same error (the default setting is read and write for the user). I also tried updating to 8.1.1 but it does not touch Distiller with that update. I have tried deleting the Settings folder and recreating it this does not work. What did work was a mistake on my part but it worked. I deleted the Settings folder before closing Distiller and tried saving. It saved the settings file in the original Settings folder which was in the trash! I pulled the folder out and the setting file was in it. This means there is some kind of permissions issue with Distiller and not just the OS I think. Just so you know I did do a permissions repair before I tried all of this.
The only solution right now for people who can't save to that folder is to save it to a different location and then adding the settings file to your settings folder User_Home\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\
One other thing to note. Version 8.0.0 does not do this. It only happens after updating to 8.1.0
I did this in 10.4.9 and also 10.5.1

Can't open NEF with Camera Raw from Bridge

I recently updated to CS6 and got a new Nikon D600. Downloaded the lastest DNG converter but when I pull up files in Bridge I can't open them with Camera Raw anymore. My process was to open in Bridge. Select the NEF files I wanted then click mouse+control, which gave me a menu to open in Camera Raw. Now my only option is Photoshop CS6. I downloaded the trial for Photoshop CC and Bridge CC but still can't select to open with Camera Raw.
What is going on? I have never had issues like I have been. HELP Please.

From your description it sounds as if Camera Raw isn't installed, or is installed incorrectly. In Photoshop go to Help/about plug-ins/Camera Raw and verify that you have it installed correctly. Since you are on a Mac, I cannot advise as to where it should be installed.
The other thing I have been thinking about in your situation is, how were these images downloaded from your camera?if you used an older version of Nikon Transfer it can alter the files so that they cannot be opened in Camera Raw.
Do you have other software like ViewNX2 or CaptureNX2, and will those programs open your files?

Epson R2400 print clipping with PowerMac G5 from InDesign

I'm at a total loss here and would appreciate any help.
I'm attempting to print to print a 10x14 inch pages from InDesign on my Epson 2400 on to A3 sized paper.
All goes well until the paper feeds into the machine and and begins printing. The result is a correctly scaled print that's clipped to exactly 213x260 mm, the image is positioned in the top right corner of the A3 sheet.
There has been a lot of discussion on this forum regarding Epson drivers which I have read and followed through, performing my own trouble-shooting. This has included reinstalling the drivers, swapping USB for Firewire and visa-versa, setting up and new user account and even as far as a clean install.
Curiously, this problem not only only specific to InDesign (I can print fine from other apps, including Photoshop) but also specific to the G5. I have two Dual G5 PowerMacs in my studio which exhibit the same problem but there is no issue when I print from our Intel iMac.
I can't tell if it's an Apple or Adobe problem!
Please, if there is anyone out there that can shed some light on this I would love to here from you.
Thanks
Blair

Q: Since I upgraded to Macintosh OS X 10.5 Leopard, some printer driver options are missing. What should I do?
A: Make sure youre not using the Macintosh OS X 10.5 Gutenprint driver. Follow these steps to check if youre using the Gutenprint driver and change it if necessary:
From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
Click Print & Fax.
If necessary, click once on your printers name in the Printer list. (You dont need to do this if only one printer driver is installed).
If you see Gutenprint next to your printer name, go to step 5 to change the driver. (The Epson Stylus Photo RX620 appears in the example below, but youll see your printer or all-in-one name instead).
If you see only your printers name, youre using the correct driver, and you can skip the remaining steps.
Turn off the printer.
Click the button to remove the printer from the Printers list, then click OK.
Go to the Macintosh Leopard Support page and select your printer or all-in-one from the appropriate list.
After you select your printer or all-in-one, the web page will either inform you that the driver for your model is included in Mac OS X 10.5 or give you a description and download option for an Epson driver for your printer.
If the driver for your model is included in Mac OS X 10.5, go to the next step. Otherwise, download and install the Epson driver for Mac 10.5 before continuing with step 8.
From the Apple menu, select System Preferences. If necessary, click Print & Fax.
Turn on the printer. Your computer should add the printer automatically.
If your computer does not add the printer or if it adds the Gutenprint driver again, contact Apple for assistance. You may need to reinstall the Epson drivers provided with Macintosh OS X 10.5.
Note: To check ink levels, click the Utility button, then click EPSON StatusMonitor. The Supply Levels button will not show remaining ink levels for your Epson printer.

Problem with exporting PDF from Indesign CS6

Hi,
I recently registered & installed CS6 on my computer (Last week!), and I seem to have problems with Indesign, which is the main reason for my buying the product.
The problem is that whenever I try to save & export a file as PDF from Indesign I get an error message (See attached file).
The files are saved with 0KB size, and so the Acrobat reader can't open them for preview.
This really interrupts my work, and backs up the entire comapny schedule.
I already tried updating, and uninstalling&re-installing the suite - but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated, and we need it ASAP.
Thanks in advance,

Without proper system info and details about what PDF settings you actually used and how and where you save your files, nobody can say anything. You could simply be doing something silly like using PDF/A, but trying to enforce high-res pictures or whatever. In any case, ask in the ID forum.

Open a file in photoshop from indesign

Hello,
I been trying to open a photo from indesign to photoshop.
I loop through the selected graphic boxes which I get the path to the images.
I can get the path easy enough but opening them in photoshop is another matter. I been reading about Bridgetalk, but can't seem to figureout how to get bridgetalk to load the images into photoshop.
using CS3
code:
if (app.documents.length != 0){
    if (app.activeWindow.activeSpread.pageItems.length != 0){
     for (i = app.selection.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
         try{
         if(app.selection[i].graphics.length != 0)
                      var myGraphic =   app.selection[i].graphics.item(0) ;
                      var myLink = myGraphic.itemLink;
                      var myLinkName = myLink.name;
                      var myLinkFile = File(myLink.filePath);
                      var bt = new BridgeTalk.launch("photoshop");
                   } //end if
    catch(err)
    } //end for loop
    }//end first if
    else {
        alert("The active spread does not contain any page items.");
}// end second if
else{
    alert("No documents are open. Please open a document and try again.");

You can find an example of how to do this here.

Problems with image conversion from InDesign to PDF

My images look posterized when I convert from InDesign to PDF. Any ideas about this?

That'd be in the export settings not in Reader. Ask in the InDesign forum, they'll probably know better.

Need to create pdf with thumbnail pages from InDesign

How can I create a pdf with multiple InDesign pages on each sheet (thumbnails)? I have snow leopard, cs6. Thank you.

On a Mac, the way I like to do it is to start by generating a PDF from INDD. Open the PDF in Apple's "Preview" app. Ctrl+P. There are all sorts of options for layout — including "Pages per Sheet" under the layout option in the menu. Then, at the bottom left-hand of the print dialog box, you'll see the PDF button. After you've made your page-layout decisions, click PDF and choose your options for PDF delivery.
In the instance documented with the attached graphics, I selected "Mail PDF." The thumbnailed PDF is created and attached to a new email.
Maybe this helps.

How do I create an accessible PDF for Thesaurus with many chapters, from InDesign CS 5.5 and Acrobat

Hi folks,
I have redesigned a Thesaurus (controlled vocabulary for an Agency's archives) in InDesign CS 5.5. I am now preparing an accessible PDF from the many files (using a Book created in InDesign). The front cover, front matter and back cover are not part of the Book, to keep the page numbering simple.
The Book includes two main sections, an Alphabetical display and a Hierarchical display of terms and their relations. I created chapters per alphabet listings, i.e. Alphabetical Display A, B, C, etc. So there are over 50 chapters, including cover, front matter, etc.
I've successfully made the front cover and front matter PDFs after viewing videos here: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/accessibility-adobe/preparing-indesign-files-for-accessibility/ and downloading and using this recommended Action for Acrobat: InDesign CS5_5 Accessibility Touchup.sequ
Several questions specific to this project don't seem to be addressed in the videos, however.
First, I'd like to know if I can create an accessible PDF using the Book function > Export Book to PDF. Or do I need to make a PDF per chapter? The book has over 50 chapters (by alphabet, twice), so creating them one by one will take a lot more time, but I'll do it if that's the best practice.
After creating the PDFs, if I use (in Acrobat): Create > Combine Files into PDF to make one full PDF (over 600 pages BTW), will the final PDF retain accessibility settings? Do I need to run the Accessibility Report again for the combined PDF?
I used InTools.com Power Headers plugin to add a page header that automatically shows the new first term used per page. So, one chapter (with Chapter Title as H1) will have a different page header (which will be H2) per page, however the text flows through the whole chapter. I don't see where to add the page headers to the Article Window in InDesign. Do I add in this order: H1, H2, text (for whole chapter), H2, H2, H2, etc. Will I need to work on the PDF in Acrobat, where pages will be shown, in order to get the correct H2 with the correct text on the page? Am I missing something?
Will I have any issues with Bookmarks that requires a specific workflow?
I think that's about it, though I might run into more questions as I progress through the project.
Thanks, Marilyn

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.

Problems with 'Print Booklet' from InDesign CS4

I am having problems using the 'Print Booklet commane in InDesign CS4. I have done this 100s of time from CS3 with no problems but for some reason it just won't auto duplex (print on both sides of the paper) when I do it from CS4. USing exactly the same settings, computer and file. The printer is setup correctly as will print double-sided automatically from other apps. Using mac leopard. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, I have tried this. I choose 'layout' from the printer option within the driver and pick 'short edged binding'. Still no luck.

Urgent text shifting problem with pdf creation from indesign

I have eps files placed in indesign and when some pages of my document are exported as pdf for press, the text moves slightly, like 1/16" or less, but enough to cause problems. I'm using the original Indesign CS and eps files saved out of Illustrator 10. Yup, old.....I know, but it's what I have to work with right now. Some files are working fine but others are don't and they were all created/saved/exported the same, as far as I can tell. Here's a small sample. All the street name text is shifted down and to the left from the actually street. Occurring with text on path as well as straight text. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

You might also try exporting to .idml form CS5 (see Remove minor corruption by exporting). We've had other reports of similar beahvior when working with legacy files, and exporting to .inx from the original version may work even better.

Creating a PDF with a watermark from InDesign CS3

Hello,
I have a question on exporting or printing a PDF file that will have a watermark.
What I'm wanting to do is take a InDesign file (and/or Quark file) and export/print a PDF file that will be in low res and have a watermark placed on it. (for a "Review" copy)
I am aware that I can place a watermark on a PDF file with Acrobat Pro, but it seems like I need to make the PDF file first then place the watermark. I am wanting to do this in the exporting/printing step all at the same time.
Thank you any information.
Scott Isbrecht

OK, maybe I need to reword the question.
I have a full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
I am wanting to take a file/book that is in Indesign/or Quarkxpress and make a PDF file that is in a lower quality/resolution that also has a watermark "review stamp" on at least the front cover, if not on every page. (would like it on every page)
If there is not a way to export a PDF file out of InDesign or Quarkxpress this way, can it be done by printing a .PS (postscript) file and have Distiller create the PDF file?
I would like to keep the InDesign/Quark file "As Is" in a final print ready format, and be able to produce a smaller "review" PDF with a watermark on each page of the PDF file. (watermark on cover page only would be OK)
This way there is no chance of this file making its way to a full scale printer and it being printed with a low quality PDF (review copy).
Any information would help out.
Thanks,
