Re: Script for CS2

Does anyone have a script for sequencial numbering in CS2? Also looking for one where you can set the actual text height (not set through font). I had them but I have no idea how to create them. Please help......

Take a look at the descriptions and images of the two scripts named NumberedCallouts and SerialNumbers on

Script for CS3 won't work in CS2

Hello all,
I am new to scripting and trying to get a script written for CS3 to work in CS2. The script was given to me a participant in the InDesign forum. At any rate, here is the script:
for (n=0; n<app.selection.length; n++) {
app.selection[n].move([23.44, 100.05]);
I get an error messsage that says
error #19
error string "bad argument move"
Line: 2
Source: "app.selection[n].move([23.44, 100.0});"
Offending text: "100.0"
As i said I am new to scripting and have been perusing the scripting manual but cannot gather what my error was, and I am trying to meet a deadline.
Cheers in advance!

Ok, me again.
I got it working - well, it moves the text boxes I select - but for some reason the Y variable isn't coming out correctly.
For example, if I use the coordinates 32.385, 16.231 in a script, it moves it to the correct spot on the X axis, but the coordinate for the Y will be off. Further, depending on what text box I select to move, it will vary (by 1-5 mm) along the Y axis. Different text boxes go to different areas along the Y axis, but never far from the script coordinate.
So I guess there does need to be some alteration made? I'll post this in the script forum too, not really sure where it belongs with this particular problem.

Conditional Actions Script for PS CS2

This script from Sivaratnam Gunaratnam will perform actions on Photoshop files and can change depending on certain definable conditions encountered in each file.
From his Blog entry:
"This is a tool I scripted for myself that I would like to share with all fellow Photoshopers. It allows you to execute your Actions based on Conditions. No programming needed. Just click and define your conditions.. Some examples of conditions are as follows:
If the image height is greater than its width, do Action X, or else do else Y
If the image format is JPG / PSD / BMP do action...
If the image file size is bigger than 300KB, do action....
if the image IS/IS NOT of RGB, CMYK... etc
if image author is Siva, do action...
if image exif contains Nikon D70s, do action ....
if image name contains "paris", do action...
etc
etc
Please note thatas of this writinghe has only tested it on Windows and PSCS2. However, someone posted a comment to his blog entry stating that it "Seems to work perfectly on a Mac too."
caveat downloador :)

Indesign Contact Sheet script for Adobe Bridge 1.0.4.6

Our company currently has all the Adobe CS2 products but as stand alone applications and not part of the Creative Suite. Therefore, we don't seem to have all the functionality of the suite.
In particular the script to create Contact Sheets from Indesign CS2 of items through the script in Adobe Bridge.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to add the functionality of the contact sheet script for Indesign to Bridge without having the Adobe Creative Suite? And Why?
We are looking for something to replace an extension used by Quark to create contact sheets from Badia software. I am loath to upgrade this extension unless absolutely necessary. We receave thousands of photo's a week and output contact sheets for our editors to pick and choose which photos they want/like.
Thanks in advance.

Why? Are you talking CPU hours or staff-hours? Does your workflow require heavy

Script for 'Check Links Before Opening Document' preference

I'm trying to find the VB script for changing the "Check Links Before Opening Document" checkbox on the File Handling panel in the Preferences dialog? I haven't found any documentation referring to the Links items on that panel.
Bob

Thanks for the info.
Was there a document you pulled this from?
I have an old document from CS2 days that is invaluable for providing a detailed list of available script methods and properties. Obviously things that have been added in subsequent InDesign releases aren't in this document. Later InDesign CS releases offer script SDKs that contain helpful sample scripts but I don't find a detailed summary similar to one from CS2. Have I just not found them? Or how does one find the script method/property for things not contained in the sample scripts?

Setting mouse cursor from script (JS, CS2, CS3)

I'm working on scripts for Mac users. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to change the mouse pointer from within a script. Can one do this?
The reason I need to do this is that when a script runs the cursor changes to the spinning beach ball. I display a dialog asking for information and may users think the script has hung InDesign because of the beach ball. People also don't know where the hotspot is on the beach ball so it's hard to click things accurately.
Any tips?

I have often noticed that spinning beachball and found it distasteful when working with a dialog, but there's not much choice, I'm afraid. ScriptUI might be a way out in CS3, but not in CS2. If you want the same script to work in both, then I think you're stuck with the beachball.

Error when compiling AppleScript for CS2, need help

I've recently started learning AppleScript, and while I'm no stranger to programming I'm a little lost when it comes to errors like this one. I have both InDesign CS2 and InDesign CS3 installed so I'm not sure if my problem is caused by that, they were installed before I started working on this mac. I've also been recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, in case that might be a probable cause.
Basically, my problem stems from this:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    get active document
end tell
When I try to compile this I get a Syntax Error that says "Expected end of line but found class name." and highlights "document". I've also had problems trying to use things like "page 1" or "view preferences" with similar errors. With the case of things like "page 1" I've had to replace it with "item 1 of pages" to get it to compile.
If I change it to "Adobe InDesign CS3" it works fine, but I need to compile for CS2 for backwards compatability. Strangely, this method works:
set indesign to application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell indesign
    using terms from application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
        get active document
    end using terms from
end tell
Does this mean my CS2 dictionary is broken? I can view it fine from the Script Editor, and I've seen things like "active document" used in example scripts, so this syntax error is confusing me.

I'm not sure why you're getting that error, but a couple of things:
Using "document 1" instead of "active document" is not a bad habit,
because there are cases where active document doesn't work.
When you compile the scripts, the version is somewhat irrelevant -- when
you go to run them, they look for a running application of the same creator
code, and use that. It's a bit like when you double-click on a document in
the Finder -- it doesn't matter what version of ID you made it in, it will
try to open in whatever version is running first.

Updating a Script from CS2 to CS4

My client has a script written for CS2 (PC). They want me to quote the job it is used in (it's a series of scripts to help move their copy to the web, basically, so it tags and collects XML to work with their site), and if I'm to quote it, I'll want to do the job in CS 4, Mac platform. The scriptwriter who wrote it will not respond to me, so I'm looking for A) an understanding of how much work this is going to be, i.e. about what it's going to cost me to have updated and the platform changed, and B) where I find a script writer to do this for me. I'm not sure I'm intererested in learning enough about script writing to mess with these scripts myself, although certainly I know it's just one more thing I really ought to learn to do.

Hi Kayle,
I'm interested in the job.
It's difficult for me to quote my price without seeing the files and knowing all your requirements. So, I'd like to leave this to your discretion.
I'm ready to start tomorrow, if scripts written in JavaScript suit you. But I will be able to test them on CS4 Mac only starting from Wednesday when I get to work. I have only CS3 at home, but there's no big difference between CS3 and 4 as far as scripting concerns, so I can start it on CS3.

Creating SQL-Loader script for more than one table at a time

Hi,
I am using OMWB 2.0.2.0.0 with Oracle 8.1.7 and Sybase 11.9.
It looks like I can create SQL-Loader scripts for all the tables
or for one table at a time. If I want to create SQL-Loader
scripts for 5-6 tables, I have to either create script for all
the tables and then delete the unwanted tables or create the
scripts for one table at a time and then merge them.
Is there a simple way to create migration scripts for more than
one but not all tables at a time?
Thanks,
Prashant Rane

No there is no multi-select for creating SQL-Loader scripts.
You can either create them separately or create them all and
then discard the one you do not need.

Old school with CS2. Haven't used in a while and am unable to use the program as it says my serial number is invalid. Customer service tells me the server for CS2 has been shut down. Then they sent me here for help. Does anyone have any advice?

I don't have a clue what I am doing with this. Here is my discussion with Customer Service:

Naresh: Please click here to download.
Naresh: The 3rd link is for the download of CS2 Photoshop.
Naresh: Were you able to view the download link, Mary?
Mary Vance: what file in that download is supposed to help me?
Mary Vance: the first and 3rd link were the same
Mary Vance: when trying to load from my software, I get the message saying my serial number is not valid. All I need is a serial number that works. Is that going to be possible?
Naresh: Mary, Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 applications, including Acrobat 7 and Audition 3, because of a technical issue.
Naresh: So you will have to download the software from the above link.
Naresh: May I know in what OS you are trying to install the software?
Mary Vance: the link sends me to a CS2 help package
Mary Vance: windows 7
Naresh: I am sorry you will not be able to install the CS2 application on Windows 7 since it does not support CS2 version.
Mary Vance: I have had on here for a few years...why all of a sudden would it not work? Illustrator is fine.
Naresh: Okay.
Naresh: You can try downloading the software.
Mary Vance: was the original link that you sent me suppose to allow me to download Photoshop?
Mary Vance: I did try and got the message that the serial number is invalid. Is there any way to get around this or should I throw it away?
Naresh: May I know whether you uninstalled the product.
Naresh: ?
Mary Vance: I did uninstall Photoshop only. Then I tried reinstalling Photoshop only and got the message about the serial number.
Naresh: I check and see that it seems to be a technical issue, I request you to please post your query to the forums so that you will get the resolution from our expertise and I'll provide you the link to visit the forums.
Naresh: Please click here to visit the forums.
Mary Vance: I guess I will try that.
Naresh: Yes, please.
Naresh: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Mary Vance: I don't see where you helped me with this yet, so I guess not!
Naresh: I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Naresh: Thank you for contacting Adobe. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
Any help would be appreciated.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Custom calculation script for checkboxs

Hello,
Can anyone help me out with custom calculation script for this? I have two mutually exclusive checkboxes that, when checked, I want to populate data into other text fields.
If Checkbox1 is checked:
Company1=Warehouse Alpha
Address1=1234 Any Street
City/State/Zip1= Los Angeles, CA 90020
Contact Name1= Mr. Nice Guy
Phone Number1= 213-854-8565
Email1=[email protected]
If Checkbox2 is checked:
Company2=Warehouse Beta
Address2= 5678 Awesome Blvd.
City/State/Zip2= San Bernardino, CA 96545
Contact Name2= Mr. Handsome
Phone Number2= 909-824-8265
Email2=[email protected]
Thanks,
Bryan

So one has two check boxes and one wants them to be mutually exclusive. Name them the same and change the export value of the field. Try it and observe what happens as you check the different check boxes.
You have described what happens if either box is checked but what happens when a checked box Is unckecked?
One can place scripts in many locations. I would use a mouse up action for both the check boxes, use the same script for both check boxes.
I would assume you are using the following names for the fields to populate:
Company
Address
CityStateZip
ContactName
PhoneNumber
Email
// Mouse up action for both check boxes;
// initial value for the fields:
this.getField("Company"),value = "";
this.getField("CityStateZip"),value = "";
this.getField("ContactName"),value = "";
this.getField("PhoneNumber"),value = "";
this.getField("Email"),value = "";
// test for check box value for selected box;
if(event.value == 1) {
this.getField("Company"),value = "Warehouse Alpha";
this.getField("CityStateZip"),value = "1234 Any Street";
this.getField("ContactName"),value = "Los Angeles, CA 90020";
this.getField("PhoneNumber"),value = "213-854-8565";
this.getField("Email"),value = "[email protected]";
if(event.value == 2) {
this.getField("Company"),value = "Warehouse Beta";
this.getField("CityStateZip"),value = "5678 Awesome Blvd.";
this.getField("ContactName"),value = "San Bernardino, CA 96545";
this.getField("PhoneNumber"),value = "Mr. Handsome";
this.getField("Email"),value = "[email protected]";
// end Mouse up action for both check boxes;

Sharepoint warmup script for https sites

we want to warm up https site which is based on sharepoint 2010.
When we run some sample powershells it shows access forbidden error so we are not able to warm up https site.
Its slow on first load so need some warmup script for https sites.
sharepointer

Just ensure that the service account that you use to trigger the Powershell scripts has access to IIS and SharePoint. Most often, the SharePoint Farm account would be used for scheduling the warm up scripts on the WFE server.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

WSUS script for pending reboot possible addition - How

Hi, I am found script for pending reboot and script work perfectly. My problem is that script generate only pending computers reboot for master wsus server not for replica servers. Can I modify this script to generate pending reboot for all replica servers on
one place(wsus master server) or I must run this script on every replica server. This is script:
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration") | out-null
if (!$wsus) {
$wsus = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::GetUpdateServer();
$computerScope = new-object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.ComputerTargetScope;
$computerScope.IncludedInstallationStates = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateInstallationStates]::InstalledPendingReboot;
$updateScope = new-object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope;
$updateScope.IncludedInstallationStates = [Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateInstallationStates]::InstalledPendingReboot;
$computers = $wsus.GetComputerTargets($computerScope);
$report = @()
$computers | foreach-object {
$computer = $_.FullDomainName
$updatesForReboot = $_.GetUpdateInstallationInfoPerUpdate($updateScope)
$updatesForReboot | foreach-object {
$temp = "" | Select Computer,Update
$temp.Computer = $computer
$temp.Update = ($wsus.GetUpdate($_.UpdateId)).Title
$report += $temp
$report | Select "Computer","Update" | Export-Csv -Path c:\..PendingReboot.csv -Delimiter 1 -NoTypeInformation

Running Permission Scripts for App-V packages in VDI environment

Hi
We use App-V 5.0 SP1 in VDI environment.
We have a major problem with packages' permissions
Our users don't have administrative privileges on their machines.
As the option for "Security Descriptors" is discontinued, the only way to give permissions to a folder in a package is to use the VFSCACLS.vbs as a startup script of a package.
This way the first time users launch an application they're prompt to reopen it, and the second time they can use the application with the needed permissions.
The problem:
The script saves those permission changes under LOCALAPPDATA\AppV...
Therefore, everytime the users logoff the folder is deleted (VDI...) and again, they must run the script for the first again to get the permissions back after logon!
We cannot roam the LOCALAPPDATA\AppV folder as its size can be dozens of GBs...
Folder permissions with group policy is also not a solution, as the folder name changes everytime we upgrade a package and it's impossible to follow with hundreds of packages.
So it's either we're missing something critical in the architecture with VDI environment or there's a normal solution for these situations.
Would love to get some help
Thanks
Tamir Levy

Hi Nicke
that's what I did! the problem is that I find my self over and over again want to sequence packages in App-V 5.0 and forced to sequence it in App-V 4.6.
I really hope that it wasn't App-V team's goal. announcing App-V 5.0 and tell us it doesn't support many things so we will still need App-V 4.6 forever.
I have to maintain 2 different App-V environments with 4 different servers , 4 different sequencers and 2 clients on each computer. it doesn't make any sense for me to forced to stay with both of the versions forever.
correct me if I'm wrong but App-V 4.6 is a legacy application. the new versions cover only support on newer operating systems and nothing more. I won't be surprised if in the next version of MDOP won't come with App-V 4.6 anymore and Microsoft will announced
it's unsupported very soon.
Every time I open a ticket with MS Support the best thing I get is "It's a known issue, we can't tell when it will be fixed"
can you help me more ? move it forward to other people from the inside? at least agree with me that something is not as expected in App-V 5.0... :(
I love the technology, I believe in it, I'm kinda depend on it and I only want it to be better
