Question about "missing glyph" error in CS4/CS5 live preflight

Hi all
Basically I'm wondering what the "missing glyph" error refers to specifically and what are the implications of such an error. The help file doesn't mention it, as far as I can see.
I have some PDFs (from WordPerfect) which are causing this error when imported into Indesign. I think the pages which cause this error have been corrected with a PDF editor (Iceni Infix) but Acrobat reports all the fonts are embedded and subsetted. A third-party preflight programs reports everything is okay too.
Am I safe to ignore these errors?
thanks,
Iain

I'm not sure "Missing Glyph" picks up missing glyphs in PDFs. What does ID point to when you click the page number hyperlink in the Preflight panel?
If you have missing glyphs in your document text, they will look something like this:
-- then again, perhaps you cannot see the pink highlight because of background (an image) or foreground (another character 'on top of it', or perhaps even a graphic over the text).
How serious this is? It's ... critical! As you can see in my image, the only thing InDesign can do is notify you with the pink highlight and temporarily insert the font's own "missing" image (which may be a rectangle, a question mark, or even just a space).
Fortunately, if you do need the character, all you have to do is change the font (for those characters only) to one that does contain the missing ones. You'll have to try all your system fonts before you find one that does and matches the rest of your text as well :-)
There are a few special cases where InDesign gets it wrong, though. The Symbol font, for example, might not get imported correctly from Word, and in that case you have to manually change the character -- i.e., find the correct one in the Glyphs panel and insert it from there. There is also the Strange Case of the Invisible Marker: InDesign thinks there is something but if you check against the original Word file, there is nothing. This will usually insert a character code U+FFFD; you can safely delete them.

    Hi,

  • [CS4 JS] Live Preflight

    Hi,
    The following is part of script which checks to see if there are any errors in the Live Preflight before continuing with a PDF export.
    var myPreflight = app.preflightProcesses[0];
    var myReport = myPreflight.processResults;
    myReport = myReport.replace(/\s+$/,"");
    if (myReport == "None")
    My problem is that this script doesn't distinguish between the Preflight for the current document and that for any other document that may be open. I assume it is using the FIRST Preflight process created which will not always be for the current document.
    Is there a way to reference the Preflight for the current document only? Searching for "Preflight" in the Object Model Viewer in ExtendScript Toolkit bring up No Results.
    Thanks,
    Skempy

    var myPreflight = app.preflightProcesses[0];
    var myReport = myPreflight.processResults;
    myReport = myReport.replace(/\s+$/,"");

    maybe you should check this "array":
    Property AggregatedResults As Variant
        read-only
        Member of InDesign.PreflightProcess
        The aggregated results found by the process. Type: Ordered array containing DocumentName:String, ProfileName:String, Results:Array of Ordered array containing ParentNodeID:Long Integer, ErrorName:String, PageNumber:String, ErrorInfo:String, ErrorDetail:Array of Ordered array containing Label:String, Description:String
    or maybe you should set PreflightScope - to your Document - in PreflightOptions:
    Property PreflightScope As Variant
        Member of InDesign.PreflightOption
        The pages or documents to preflight, specified either as an enumeration or a string. To specify a range, separate page numbers in the string with a hyphen (-). To specify separate pages, separate page numbers in the string with a comma (,). Type: idPreflightScopeOptions enumerator or String

  • Question about missing file

    Hello - I'm having an issue with Visual Studio, undoubtedly related to my own ignorance.  Here goes:  Installed VS2012, have dev site on Sharepoint Online, created new Sharepoint project in VS2012, which rolls out all the required files.  The
    default.aspx file, however, indicates that the sp.js file is missing.  However, the sp.runtime.js file is not missing?  Both of those files are present, installed with the Sharepoint Client Components.  The computer I'm using does NOT have Sharepoint
    installed on it, and since I'm trying to develop for Sharepoint online, my understanding was that should not be necessary.  I'm sure this is something simple, but I just don't understand what it means (or if I should be concerned about it.)   

    Yes, I've tried that.  Just now in fact, I tried it again.  Still doesn't work.  Yesterday, I noticed that I had two versions of the Sharepoint Client Components installed, so I removed the older one (thinking new is better, right?)
    Anyway, after doing that, now I see more errors!  Notice in the screenshot below, both sp.runtime.js and sp.js are marked as file not found:
    Also, here are the output messages from the Javascript Language Service:
    09:59:26.1179: Referenced file '~/_layouts/15/init.js' not found.
    09:59:26.1189: Referenced file '~/_layouts/15/SP.Core.js' not found.

    09:59:26.1189: Referenced file '~/_layouts/15/SP.js' not found.
    The Sharepoint Client Components install, as mentioned in the article in my reply to Steve Curran, installs the Javascript files at this location:  C:\Program Files (x86)\SharePoint Client Components\Scripts .  I am not sure how Visual Studio knows
    where to find these files - I just did the dumb monkey install, clicking run and ok.  Is there something I need to do in Visual Studio to make the IDE or specifically the project aware of these files?

  • Concept Question about EDI and Error Processing

    Hello All,
    This is a concept question, I was wondering how others would approach this scenario.
    Let's take this scenario. In EDI often the transmission for a purchase order comes in with an invalid material number. Normal error processing is for the EDI team to research the issue (find the correct matnr), edit the idoc and reprocess the Idoc.  I would like to move that type of error processing out of the hands of the EDI folks and into the hands of the business users.
    How would they correct the material number? It has to be more intuitive than editing an IDoc, it has to be an easy and intuitive user interface. This process has to also work for many types of EDI transmissions both inbound and outbound.
    There would be many ways to handle this: create a report with an editable grid that would change the idoc during input and create the order with the corrections, convert the idoc to xml and use simple transformations, use an xsl report...etc.  You get the point. 
    How would you approach this?  Before I start the design I want to make sure I've given all the options due consideration...all options, webdynpro, transformations, regex, you name it...all is available, except there is no XI. 
    Personally I'm leaning towards an editable grid and processing buttons that would post the idoc in background...but I do that type of thing all the time and I may be in a rut and neglecting better design options.
    Thanks for your input,
    Greg

    <b>Paul:</b> So it runs the transaction silently in BDC format, until the error occurs, then opens up in dialogue to allow the user to change the invalid material, and then continue on with processing.
    This works when the processing function module uses BDC. But even then I think this is possibly nice from user perspective, but a nightmare from auditing perspective. I.e. correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's no log indicating that the user changed the material number. Thus for anybody comparing the IDoc contents against the posted document (including change history) there's no trail that shows this change. Of course you can assume that this is what must have happened, but I personally prefer if I can track in the system what happened and have proof for that.
    <b>Reddy:</b>
    <ol>
    <li>it can be run daily basis, which should select all idocs which are in status 51 with message number (..related to wrong material number). report output should inlcude :idoc number-wrong mat no- space for new material to be entered by business against wrong 1. And there should be one button for RUN.</li>
    <li>After RUN, the material number should be changed to new 1 in segments and idocs should be reprocessed.</li>
    <li>repeat the run until business enter right mat num.</li>
    </ol>
    Design seems to limited to me (takes care only of one error message). Might work if that's the main pain point and this is the only one the user is dealing with. Otherwise I'd expect pretty soon they start complaining about having to use different tools for the possible errors. I'd keep the report more general, but allow this special form of processing only for a given error message (otherwise it's a normal re-process as triggered for example via BD87).
    Also, I assume that when you talk of changing the IDoc you mean that you actually keep an original copy around (like SAP does when you edit an IDoc). Often this is required from an auditing perspective. I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to check the material number <em>before</em> trying to process the IDoc to avoid wasting system resources (but maybe I misunderstood the step).
    Anyhow, in theory you could also achieve all of this via workflow. You can add custom columns to the work item overview in the inbox, only issue here is that it doesn't scale well (so issues with larger volumes).

  • Question about displaying handler errors in the webdynpro

    Hello all, Please forgive any EM terminology mixups as I am new to this unique module!
         Here is my scenario, I am in EM WebDynpro and updating the actual dates on a purchase req. The event handler accepts the date I entered and in the background makes a synchronous rfc call to ECC to update the related project with the new date. This rfc call fails because I have the project open and it is locked. This call is synchronous so I get the error right away and I set the return code to 4 and populate an error message that I want passed back to the user in WebDynpro. For some reason the EM system is ignoring this error and returning to the user a successful 'sent' message.
    EM WebDynpro --> Purchase Req --> PO Approved Actual Date entered --> synchronous RFC to ECC to update Project --> project locked error returned by ECC --> error message populated in EM --> EM WebDynpro returns as if it was successful
    I have put in breakpoints to ensure I was populating error messages back to EM and I see the details flowing back that are correct, but no details are returned to the actual user. If I go to the Event Handler Overview in the GUI I can find my error message recorded there. Problem is our users will be working from the Web primarily and would not see this message in a normal course of work.
    Is there a config piece that I should be setting to return this error to the users in WebDynpro? This seems like a trivial/standard piece of functionality so I am confused as to why it is not showing up in the dynpro.
    Thank you for any help or ideas and points awarded of course!

    Hello Berthold,
       I believe we understand what you are saying we should do and we have mimicked the activity you described. Now we are running into a short dump when the system tries to process the RETRIEVE MSG method. The code is looking for the class /AIN/CLPUB_ID_CONVERT for some reason. This class does not exist in this release. There is a /SAPTRX/ class that matches.
    So in /SAPTRX/CL_PUB_ID_CONVERT method CALL_AII_FOR_SINGLE_ID at line 45 there is this statement:      CALL METHOD (co_ain_class_name)=>(co_ain_method_id_mapping). Since this is a dynamic class/method call we think we must have something still incorrect in the IMG so we are going through troubleshooting and looking at OSS Notes. No luck so far.
    Any additional input or ideas as to possible missed steps would be greatly appreciated.

  • A question about cache group error in TimesTen 7.0.5

    hello, chris:
    we got some errors about cache group :
    2008-09-21 08:56:15.99 Err : ORA: 229574: ora-229574-3085-ogTblGC00405: Failed calling OCI function: OCIStmtFetch()

    and the exact scene is: our oracle server was restart for some reason, but we didnot restart the cache group agent. then iit start appear those errors informations.
    we want to know, if the oracle server restart, whether we need to restart cache agent?? thank you..

    Yes, the tracking table will track all changes to the associated base table. Only changes that meet the cache group WHERE clause predicate will be refreshed to TimesTen.
    The tracking table is managed automatically by the cache agent. As long as the cache agent is running and AUTOREFRESH is occurring the table will be space managed and old data will be purged.
    It is okay if very occasionally an AUTOREFRESH is unable to complete within its defined interval but if this happens with any regularity then this is a problem since this situation is unsustainable. To remedy this you need to try one or more of:
    1. Tune execution of AUTOREFRESH queries in Oracle. This may mean adding additional indexes to some of the cached Oracle tables. There is an article on this in MetaLink (doc note 473493.1).
    2. Increase the AUTOREFRESH interval so that a refresh can always complete within the defined interval.
    In any event it is important that you have enough space to cope with the 'steady state' size of the tracking table. If the cache agent will not be running for any significant length of time you need to manually cleanup the tracking table. In TimesTen 11g a script to do this is provided but it is not officially supported in TimesTen 7.0.
    If the rate of updates on the base table is such that you cannot arrive at a sustainable situation by tuning etc. then you will need to consider more radical options such as breaking the table into multiple separate tables :-(

  • A question about deinterlacing on export in CS4

    I've always found the "deinterlace" checkbox option in Adobe Media Encoder gives substandard results when encoding to WMV (and possibly to other formats, but I'm typically exporting to WMV), particularly when you're exporting at the true frame size. My workflow for fullsize projects which matter has typically been to export a DV AVI, then do the deinterlace/compress stage in Windows Media Encoder which produces distinctly better output.
    Is this now fixed in CS4? Or have I missed a simple trick which solves the problem in CS3.
    Best,
    Keith

    CS4 now decides for you to deinterlace or not based on the export option and source material. Which is why there is no longer a "deinterlace" checkbox in the export options.
    You will have to decide yourself on the quality. You can still perform your workflow if you wish to compare.
    On the flyout menu there is an render high quality option. The main purpose is to improve scaling. It does improve scaling quality but increases render time significantly. I havent tested to see if it also improves deinterlacing where appropriate.

  • Question about project manager on Flash CS4

    1 It seems that CS4 can not open flp, so how can I use CS4 to manager a project builded by CS3?
    2 if you choose a folder to found a new project in CS4, when you want to publish the whole project, you need to choose all the fla of that project...that will cost a lot of time if the project includes hundreds of files. But I didn't find out any quicker solution except check every fla by manpower. Is there any solution to publish a project faster?
    I am beginner of both CS3 and CS4, and thank you for anyone who can answer my questions.

    I'm planning on burning 1 master to a Taiyo Yuden White Inkjet Hub Printable 16X DVD-R disc.
    Make a disk image instead. It will be faster than a disc to disc copy.
    I have burnt tons of discs with the setting on "As fast as possible" with a 16x drive and discs. Never a problem. Some say that burning at a lower speed will increase reliability and decrease the chance of turning out a dud. Can't say that I have seen a difference.
    does it matter if I burn first and then print or should I print first and then burn?
    I would burn, check the disc and then print. If you do happen to get a bad batch, that's a lot of wasted time and ink if the discs don't work.

  • Simple question about tabular forms: error in MRU

    hi to all,
    i write here to check if what i think about tabular forms is confirmed.
    If i build a master- detail or tabular form and the underlying table are modified, the page where the tabulare form is contained doesn't work anymore.
    if what i've written above is correct, is there a way to realign the fields of the tabular forms to the db fields and make my page work again without rebuilding all?
    Can i modify something, somewhere inside apex to make my page run again?
    The error i get (in italian / english)
    Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Errore in MRU: riga= 0, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: La versione corrente dei dati nel database è cambiata da quando l'utente ha iniziato il processo di aggiornamento. checksum corrente = "ED73B05FA6016F8D5F3B4B5B69AF482D", checksum elementi = "CFD72DCC4221A340057D654B54EA7A04"., update "NEWPROJ"."CNT_VAL_SEG_DEMO" set "ID" = :b1, "FK_CNT" = :b2
    Means: The version of data in db (fields of the tables?) has changed since the user started the update process.
    By the way this sentence under my opinion can trick you as
    in italian 'La versione corrente dei dati nel database'
    can means both that data contained in tables have changed (dml error / process error / data the user see not are the real underlying data). Can mean as well the field definition is changed, however a more meaningful message in italian is: ' la definizione delle tabelle usate dall'oggetto tabular form é cambiata'.
    That translated in english is ' DDL of table/s used by tabular form has changed'.
    thanx a lot

    Marcello Nocito

    HI Heinz,
    yes is now clear, however is a pity that a litte change in the query has a lot of
    implications: a change in the structure of DB means new feature / the data model is not alligned with current requirement. So usually (but not always) it means changing the SELECT as well.
    Such Apex is a Rad an impression is that if you build a complex forms with several linked reports / field and one day you have to change the query of the TABULAR FORM / MASTER DETAIL generated with report you get a lot of rebuilding.
    I think i will avoid the use of this 2 object in the future and use more htmldb.items in the select.
    bye bye

  • Question about DNG converter in Bridge CS4

    Hello,
    I just installed Photoshop CS4, When I updated, it downloaded a hefty update (199 megs), so my setup now is:
    Win XP pro
    Bridge 3.0.0.464
    Camera RAW 5.7
    Photoshop CS4 11.0.2
    My Camera is a Panasonic Lumix FZ150 ( 2011 vintage)
    I have downloaded the Adobe DNG converter 6.6.0.261
    Every thing seems to be working fine so far, except:
    In Bridge when I "get Photos from Camera" the DNG conversion doesn't work. When I use the standalone converter it works fine.
    From reading past material on this forum I am assuming this is due to the fact that Bridge is older than my camera, and doesn't recognize the format.
    The questions:
    1. Does Bridge have its own built in DNG converter that is not upgradeable separately?
    2. If 1 is correct, is there a way to point Bridge to the location of the standalone converter so the work flow can be optimized.
    3. Since Bridge is not doing the conversion, but only importing the files, does the "Apply metadata" section of that window actually do anything? Should I bother to fill in any of those boxes?
    Thanks for any help.

    I posted a similar question quite a while ago, and what I learned was that Bridge has a DNG converter built in, but it's using ACR to read the file before it can convert. So you need ACR support for your camera.
    AFAIK there's no way to point Bridge to a standalone DNG converter.
    I suggested an updateable DNG converter plugin for Bridge, don't know why nobody listened...I thought it was an excellent idea
    As for the metadata, you just have to try. I don't know if it can write metadata when it can't read the file.

  • Question about my HDD before I install CS5

    I just purchased CS5 and I am currently running an old version of Premiere Pro. I use Windows 7 and have 4GB ram and my OS is on a 700GB drive which is 5400rpm.  I have a 750GB HDD (5400rpm) ready to install as a scratch disk.  I just noticed that CS5 min requirements mentions 7200rpm HDD.  Is this for the scratch disk or OS disk?  With my current configuration, will CS5.5 install and run at all?  Should I bother installing the new scratch disk or send it back.  Does 5400 rpm just mean poorer performance or will CS5.5 crash?

    Frederic is quite correct - when I increased the RAM in my laptop to the max allowed of 8GB, performance was much smoother.
    Replacing the system hard drive with a Seagate Momentus XT hybrid 7200 rpm produced a further, but smaller improvement.
