Removing date imbedded in image

I have a digital file of an image taken with a Kodak Easyshare C633 with the imbedded date option set to on. Using PSE 7, is there any way to delete that date information without cropping the area of the photo where it appears? If it can't be deleted, is there any way to prevent it from appearing when the image is printed?
Thanks for your help.

That imbedded date is part of the photo file: it is like an object in the photo. So there is no choice to not print an imbedded date. There is no function to remove "imbedded date".
Here is a suggestion to try but whether it will work probably depends on the subject matter of the surrounding area of the photo.
Try the Spot Healing Brush and trace over (directly over) the exact shape of the letters and numbers of the date: experiment with brush size
-- maybe it will sucessfully fill in over the letters/numbers from the surronding areas of the photo
-- maybe you will need to then do additional touch up
-- or maybe it will give nothing useful at all
Note ; by directly over, I mean that you can not do it like you are uisng a highlighter pen: if the letter is S, then you need do brush over the curved shape of the letter S

Remove date impression on image

Yesterday I have bought PS Touch for my Nexus 10 and have been trying to remove date impressions for some time now.
I have watched the "clean up background" tutorial several times. I just can't seem to do it. I can't seem to select the date proberly and when I use the stamp tool it always "bleeds" into the surrounding are.
I have been using Adobe Elements for years and never had a problem.
What am I doing wrong?

Is the background being cloned consistent (like in the tutorial)?
As always, with Photoshop, there's more than one way to create a selection other than with the Lasso Tool. Try the other tools (or a combination of the other tools) like the Scribble Selection Tool or the Brush Selection Tool.

Removing date stamps placed on images by camera

When taking some photos with a Nikon digital camera, the button that places a date stamp on the image as the picture is taken was inadvertantly on.
Now I am trying to remove this data from the image and am wondering if anyone knows a fast way of doing this.
I can tediously remove the pixels involved but then can't seem to fill in the gaps with something else. The usual replace color capabilities don't seem to work either.
What am I missing?
Thank you.

You can use the Date Removal Tool - no, I am only kidding here.
Unfortunately, you have created an image with the date/time as part of your image. There is nothing "below" this. The best that you can do is try and recreate the area of the image that WOULD be below that part of the image.
As has been stated, the Clone Stamp Tool, and also the Healing Brush/Patch Tool will go a very long way. If one uses these at a high magnification, it does require some hand-work, and a good eye, but can be done.
For what it is worth, the video folk are broken into two camps. Half want to "remove" this, and half wants to "add" this, regardless of which camera they used. If only they could get together, and all would be happy.
Hints: look closely, so slowly and small, and be patient with your efforts.
Good luck,
Hunt

Printing problem linked to EXIF time data for JPEG images.

For some years I have been using Photoshop Elements 8.0 with no problems of any kind. My computer runs on XP Professional with a system comfortably in excess of the minimum requirements to run Elements 8.0. I load my images into Elements from a card reader which is the same one since I got this version of Elements. I shoot mostly in JPEG with a Nikon D300. I print to one of 2 Epson printers, an SX100 and a PX700W. I don't use the wireless feature of the PX700W, connecting it via USB.
About a year ago I suddenly began to experience printing problems. If I tried to print an image Elements crashed just at the point where printing would begin. By trial & error I discovered that if I adjusted the time in the EXIF data of the image in Elements, whether by advancing or retarding it by hours or days and then adjusted it back to the original time I had no problems printing that image thereafter.
I also discoveredc that where I had shot in RAW I could print direct from the RAW image in Elements or from the JPEG I saved from an edited in RAW and had no problems.
I saw the forum discussions about the issues about the date/time in EXIF having been changed following the import into Elements. For those images I still had on my memory cards I checked the EXIF data in Elements and compared it what was on the image on the card. They were the same. I also checked the time zone and time settings of the camera and they were correct.
I backed up my catalog, re-formatted the computer to bring it back to its ex-factoy status, re-installed Elements and restored my catalog. I imported new images, tried to print them and the problem was still there.
Before I might upgrade to Photoshop Elements 10 I'm hoping someone else may tell me they have had the same problem and, hopefully, be able to tell me how they fixed it. I know the workaround will bypass the problem but it really annoys me that it suddenly appeared and I seem to be stuck with it. I'm also concerned that, given I totally re-formatted my computer but the problem is still with me, that the problem may be imbedded in my catalog and simply gets backed up to,\and restored from, my backup.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.

Hi Miceal,
Though I'm not sure, but see if Catalog repair and optimize helps resolve the issue.
For doing this, click File >> Catalog and selec your catalog and then click "repair' button.
Tick the checkbox for rebuilding indices in the repair workflow.
Now perform the optimize operation on the catalog similarly.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks

Add/Remove data object from dataset

Hello,
I was working out a way to add and remove data from a dataset
on the fly and could not figure out any built in methods to do
this.
As I have decided to include spry in my project I like to try
and utilise as much as of its code as possible since it is
complicated to explain I have created a simple example – a
colour picker! (thought it might be more interesting…) of
what I am trying to achieve at
http://www.freshfresh.co.uk/spry/
- if you have a go on this and maybe look at the source code (all
the JS is embedded in HTML there are no modifications to other the
other core files). I have only used spry effects etc, including the
‘accordion’ – which I have become quite attached
to, it is really good for condensing pages down.
You will see I am using the setDataFromDoc method to create
the dataset – I tried the .data = myArrayOfData; .dataHash =
hashTable; method i.e. creating from an object rather than array
but it did’nt seem to play ball with the
addDataChangedObserver method – it did’nt update itself
each time it was modified (I am sorry I cannot remember exactly
what I did – but I tried all kinds of ways…). I stuck
with the string method because it worked - each time my new dataset
changed it updated itself on the screen (you will have to have a
look to understand.....sorry!!), but I would be interested to know
how such a thing could be implemented using the object route if you
believe this would be more efficient.
My second question is more simple – is there a shorter
way to add and remove a data object from a dataset? – as you
can see from the source code I have effectively created an
‘interface’ to do these tasks…. I could’nt
work out whether these methods are already built in. Maybe they
are?
Third question is… to extract a data object from a
dataset I use the .dataHash[the_row_id] method – is this the
right thing to do or could it lead to complications… that is
using methods that might supposedly be private?
Fourth question (observation really) – whilst creating
that colour picker example I went over board with my datasets and
loaded in several palettes some of which had over 1000 elements or
data objects. Which inevitably was very slow (on my computer
anyway) – but it got me thinking about trimming the contents
of my spry regions for better performance. I am I right in thinking
that the less HTML etc that there is in a spry region the quicker
SPRY will process it. For example say you had spry repeat with an
image tag in with some onclick, onmousover, onmouseout, style
attributes etc and compare this to a spry repeat with a simple
image with minimal attributes set. I suppose what I am trying to
say is – does spry ‘store’ all the contents of
each spry region somewhere? Or does it just process it and leave it
to the browser dom?
Fifth observation.... I find it really difficult to explain
computer technicalities in writing. It must be tough reading these
posts.... I know I find it difficult sometimes when dealing with
written end user feedback!
Andrew

Just clarifying my questions a bit further....
I found some old code regarding question 1 by using the
object method I mean something like this...
var mySwatches = [{'@hex':'ff0000'},{'@hex':'00ff00'}];
var hashTable = [];
function createDs(){
for (var i = 0; i < mySwatches.length; i++)
mySwatches
.ds_RowID = i;
hashTable = mySwatches
dsMySwatches.data = mySwatches;
dsMySwatches.dataHash = hashTable;
dsMySwatches.loadData();
i.e. not writing out a whole XML string string as the online
example does. When using this way I did'nt seem to be able to get
the HTML to refresh. I tried using [
Spry.Data.updateRegion('mydata'); ] after recreating the dataset I
also tried adding an [ .addDataChangedObserver ] (like in the
string example) amongst numerous other ways but it just would not
work like the string way. - Maybe I did something wrong somewhere.
In question 3 I refer to the [ .hash ] method .... its not a
'method' its a 'property' - my question should read - is it ok to
access private properties (from a browser campatiblity/security
point of view) that do not have specific methods to gain access to
them. I suppose it does'nt really matter with JS...
In question 4 I mention minimising the amount of code in a
spry region to speed it up. A clearer example of this might be for
example - a gallery with lots of images. As we know there will be a
slight delay as SPRY writes all the html so to speed up that intial
write I strip out all the image attributes such as onlclick do
this, onmouse over do that... and add these after the images have
loaded using a seperate function similar to my
fillSwatches(ds,prefix) function in my online colorpicker example.
I suppose it like a 2 tier processing of all the data. SPRY does
the intial display writing to get everything in place and then
another pass is made over to add any further functionality
adjustments etc. I am still not sure if that makes any sense!
***edit
Also on the subject of speed and the application as a whole
i.e. including my PHP - In one example I was creating I ended up
with an XML structure where each node has over 14 attributes i.e.
<somenode att1=”x” ……..
att14=”z”/> - as the file grew it obviously took
longer to process particularly on the server side, i.e. added all
those attributes just slowed it all down. So I did
this…… <somenode att1=”x:y:z” /> i.e
condensed selected attributes into a string that I could explode
later on.
Obviously this limits SPRYS ability to access the attributes
using the {attr} syntax. I had to create a function to explode the
array and do the ‘necessary’ on a second pass over the
data – this works ok for me. But its interesting that in this
particular case the server could not refresh the XML in an
acceptable time without doing this – just thought that might
be interesting to you. I suppose technically what I am doing is
abusing the concept of an XML structure and simply using it as a
‘carrier’ to feed my application …. Which I
suppose is where JSON comes in…. which is a bit more compact
and maybe faster to manipulate on both the server and client side
– I don’t really know, I have never used it –
just throwing ideas around!!

Assembly of pdfs - "insufficent data for an image" and blank page

Hello.
We are using Adobe Livecycle Assembler 8.2 to assemble a set of pdfs uploaded by end-users together with a pdf that our application create. We have been using the assembler and pdf generator for å few years.
Lately we have had a couple of situations that our custoumer is not very happy with.
Situation 1:
Assembly of 5 pdf is sucessful, but when we open the assembled pdf, one page (representing one attachemnt upload by an end-user) is displayed as an blank page. The attachment is correctly displayed in the table of content with a bookmark to the blank page. The first time scrolling over the blank page in Adobe Reader X, a popup with the message "Insufficent data for an image" is shown. Our applications has no knowledge that the assembly is not sucessful, so its difficult to identify the problem. It seems like the pdf is a scanned image (Producer: AXIS 70U Network Document Server). Have also viewed the assembled pdf in another pdf-reader, but still the same blank page and popup.
Situation 2:
Assembly of a few pdfs is sucessful, but when we open the assembled pdf, one page (representing one attachemnt upload by an end-user) is displayed as an blank page. So fare same as situation 1. However, the attachment is not displayed in the table of content and no popup is given when scrolling over the blank page representing the attachment, just a blank page.
I am looking at a way of detecting pdf that would cause these problems (if I can't fix the pdfs). Maybe there is a way (programtically with iText?) to check if the pdf contains fonts and if not, regard it as a scanned image and mark it as problematic (most scanned pdfs are assembled just fine). Earlier on we had another problem when assembly pdfs, we then got an exception "PDFUnsupportedFeatureException: FlateDecode Filter". Our solution was then to use PDF Generator to convert all uploaded pdfs(attachments) to ps, then back to pdf and reassemble. This approch also works in situation 1 and 2. However we have no failing applications with exceptions now... Doing the pdf2ps2pdf for all attachments is very time consuming and not a good solution for our customer.
Do anybody have a clue what is wrong with our pdfs? Is there a way of solving this when doing the assembly? Any DDX-tags that might do anything nice?
The data in the pdfs are sensitive information, so I can't attach them to this post. Can send the metadata if requested.
Any response would be appreciated.

Haven't seen that error before. How are you converting the data after the function call if at all, i.e., are you moving to an XSTRING before handing it off to the web app?
The things I would suggest which may be stating the obvious are:
- Download the PDF locally after conversion with GUI_DOWNLOAD and check for the error
- Does the same issue occur with program RSTXPDFT4 or fm RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB or a SAPOffice (direct) conversion?
- Remove the logo and try and/or take the original logo, reconvert it to BMP and upload it again in SE78
- What happens if you change the destination device in the call, if anything?
- Does OSS note 1320163 apply?

Insufficient Data for an Image error with Adobe CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

We are using the standard function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to
print a standard invoice to the spool and convert it to a PDF. This
PDF is displayed on the web by directing the output of this function module to Adobe Reader.
We are having a production problem where suddenly these PDFs will not
print, and are displaying the error message "Insufficent data for an
image" with Adobe Reader. While a partial PDF is displayed, some of
the data is missing. It appears that the image that is being complained about is a company logo, and the pdf also does not display some additional characters.
We saw this data 2 years ago in production, but it suddenly went away
after a few days. Suddenly it is back.
The issue can be easily replicated in our Dev system and Prd system,
but Tst is acting fine.
Has anyone ever seen this error? Any advice on what may be occurring would be a huge help with this production problem.

Removing date stamps from photos

Hi,
Can anyone please advise if there is a quick and easy way to remove the date stamp from photos. My brother has a heap of great landscape shots he's taken over the years, however he has always had the date stamp set on his old camera - he knows better now and won't use it in the future. How do can he improve the quality of the photos he already has by removing the date?
Cheers

Use the magic extractor tool.

But you need to do the same for each of your single image.
No way to do for all in one go except for resizing the images in one go via File->Process Multiple Files to that much size which can remove date stamps.

Error removing data from MDS using WLST

I'm new at MDS so i want to remove some data which I inserted in the wrong structure....sounds quite easy. After some looking around I should be able to do this using a deployment plan and WLST. I chose the last one as I am not realy familiar yet with deployment plans. I connect with my server and started WLST did the following:
wls:/offline> connect ('weblogic', 'mypassword' , 't3://localhost:8001')
Connecting to t3://localhost:8001 with userid weblogic ...
Successfully connected to managed Server 'soa_server1' that belongs to domain 'MY_DOMAIN'.
Warning: An insecure protocol was used to connect to the
server. To ensure on-the-wire security, the SSL port or
Admin port should be used instead.
wls:/MY_DOMAIN/serverConfig> deleteMetadata(application='soa-infra', server='soa-server1', docs='/apps/deploy/*')The outcome was:
Location changed to custom tree. This is a writable tree with No root.
For more help, use help(custom)
and after a while it closed the WLST connection. Can anyone tell me how I can remove data from my repository or what is going wrong here?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I think you were getting this error because you had your server name incorrect : soa-server1 instead of soa_server1. Also it might be possible that soa-infra is installed on the different server.

"Insufficient data for an image" when saving a file

I'm running Acrobat 9.5.0 on a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.8.
After scanning a document from my Canon MX882, or opening and editing an existing pdf I get the following error when I try to save the file:
Insufficient data for an image
When I try to save the file again, I get this:
The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (109).
Sometimes the error also has (8) instead of (109).
When this occurs, the thumbnail of the page appears correct in the left pane; however, the content of the page itself is entirely or partially missing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
-c

I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

Schedule a report with the system date imbeded in the file name

Hello,
Could anyone tell me how I can schedule a crystal report with the system date imbedded in the file name (FileNameYYYYMMDD) through BOE? When I scheduled the report through BOE, I gave a file name and selected Attach Date Time, but the file name is coming out slightly differently and with the time imbedded as well (FileNameYYYY-MM-DD-HH-MN I think). Is there a way to change the default system date time format in BOE so that the date stamp comes out the way we want it?
Thanks!

%SI_STARTTIME% will add the time the report ran too.
Adding onlt the date will necessarily have to be done via the appropriate SDK.

Error when opening legitimate documents "Insufficient data for an image"

I work for a company who has sold "downloadable resources" via PDF for years now. We created a large batch of PDF documents in 2003 with
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 paper capture, and these are all PDF 1.5 type documents. We've provided these resources for years, however just today we were notified by a user that upon downloading the file they get a message "Insufficient data for an image". These ARE NOT HACKED PDF's. and they worked fine until 9.0. I have tried 9.0 and 9.1, on multiple computers and have confirmed this issue.
Now we are stuck with hundreds of PDF's that won't open in 9.x.
I did try downloading a free demo of "PDF-TOOLS" Recovery & Analysis tool, and I open the file using that program, scan the file - TELLS ME ALL IS OK, then resave it using that program.
Only then can I open it in 9.x.
What are we to do now short of buying a $200 tool and taking perhaps several days of time to open and save hundreds of "previously working" PDF files???

RollingRocker, did you ever get a solution for this? I am having the same problem. I produce a pdf using a JSF third party api called flying saucer, which actually uses itext to produce the pdf. I can attempt to produce the same exact pdf over and over and about 85% of the time the error occurs and the rest of the time the pdf opens successfully with no error. Obviously 15% of the time the reader is completely happy with this pdf, so it is not a malicious document in any way.

PDF from postscript (ps2pdf) displays "Insufficient data for an image" error in Reader

Hello,
I'm not fully confident this is the best place for this, but I'll start here. Note that this is NOT the same as the issue that was recently fixed in Reader 11 (found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/insufficient-data-image.html)
I am using the command "ps2pdf" (using Ghostscript) to convert postscript files to PDF. To get better quality, I use the ps2pdf options "-dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode", which force lossless encoding for color images. However, there are images on certain pages that yield the error "Insufficient data for an image" when opened in Adobe Reader XI (current version), and the image on that page is not viewable (or rather, it can be viewed, but only until you get the whole image on the screen; then the image disappears). If the PDF is printed, the image will not print. The error also occurs in Acrobat 9.4.0, and possibly other versions. However, Reader 8 displays the files with no issues. Also, Foxit reader displays the PDF files fine.
The postscript files are screenshots generated by the user dragging a box to define the area of the screen to be printed to file. This issue only occurs for some size boxes that the user draws; others come out fine and are read by Reader just fine.
This only happens when using FlateEncode; using lossy JPEG compression (e.g. the default ps2pdf output) does not yield files that produce the error.
Here are some example files to demonstrate the issue (hey, maybe the issue is not even reproducible for other people! That would be helpful to know if true, so even if you can't help solve the problem, if you could verify whether this issue occurs when you open one of these files in Reader or Acrobat, it would awesome).
bad pdf where error occurs: http://www.mediafire.com/file/zbk36yfy7vrhvhw/gmbad.pdf
good pdf (very similar, but slightly different box drawn): http://www.mediafire.com/file/649fuxul0td5bsx/gmgood.pdf
Merged good and bad: http://www.mediafire.com/file/54nwwebh3da7p9w/good_and_bad.pdf
If anyone has any ideas on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you think this isn't the right place for this, and perhaps know of a better place for my question, I'd appreciate that too. Thanks!
Additional possibly relevant information:
ps2pdf is being run using Ghostscript 8.15 on Unix Solaris 10. I also ran the same postscript files through ps2pdf (again using Ghostscript 8.15) on a Windows 7 machine, and the resulting PDFs did not exhibit the same errors when opened in Reader or Acrobat.
Adobe Reader 8 and 11, and Foxit were run on Windows 7. Acrobat 9.4.0 was run through a Citrix server, and I'm not sure what version of Windows it runs on.
I tried lots of different options in ps2pdf, and also tried running the postscript through ghostscript directly (using the "gs" command). Nothing was able to eliminate the error without resorting to using lossy JPEG compression.
I am now using lossy (but fairly high quality) JPEG compression in the workflow, accepting the loss in quality and (paradoxically) doubled filesize of the JPEG-compressed PDF files, so I'm really just pursuing this to figure out what the heck is going on, not because it is mission critical.
Postscript files used to create the above pdfs:
bad: http://www.mediafire.com/file/v656dp45h2jeyj6/gmbad.ps
good: http://www.mediafire.com/file/47sn60dgbzbxrs6/gmgood.ps
The .ps files are very similar to each other, differing only in the image content and the image location/translation.
The postscript files give multiple warnings/errors when opened in gsview (this happens with all .ps files created by Pinnacle, not just the ones giving me issues).
The program that is used to create the postscript files is Philips (Adac) Pinnacle^3, a treatment planning system for radiation oncology.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Our application uses scanned images up to 10 years old, and there are thousands of images so we cannot rescan these unfortunately.
I work in a large organisation with it's own desktop team so unfortunately I can't upgrade the version of Reader on our user's machines to see if this resolves either. The desktop team will also not upgrade the version as the problem appears to have only started in 9.5.2.
Does anyone know how I can confirm if the problem was first seen in 9.5.2 or if there were instances in 9.5.1 also?
Thanks again
