Run batch process by javascript

Hi,
I am created one Batch Sequences in the name of “Auto Update” which displayed below.
Now I want to run this Batch Sequences "Auto Update" just by calling batch name as "Auto Update" in javascript code.
Or
By using OLE Automation C#.
So please advice me how can I do this?

Hi Thank you Gilad and Dave
I am try to do set the Document Properties - > Initial View after creating PDF file from Post Script File.
Input PDF Initial View:
After my setting the Initial of the PDF file will as below:(What I am trying to do)
This only I am trying to do by automation.
Note:
I am saw one discussion in this forum as my request in the below link
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2306817
From this discussion I am got one point that is Document open options (DOCVIEW) setting in Post Script file.
With the help of pdfmark Reference (Adobe SDK) and above discussion I am tried to set DOCVIEW in post scrip
Post Script:
[ /PageMode /UseOutlines /Page 1 /View [/Fit] /DOCVIEW pdfmark
The above script will set
Document Properties - > Intial View
Document Option
Show: Bookmarks Panel and Page
Page Layout: Default
Magnification: Fit Page

So please give me advice.
What is correct way to meet my requirement by automation.
If you can please provide me PSOT SCRIPT coding to set those setting in post script file it self, it is better to me.

Acrobat 9.4.4 crashes when running batch process to remove metadata

I am attempting to run a batch process to remove metadata from all documents within a folder. Only one or two documents will process before Acrobat crashes. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

Some time ago I was looking for a way to find out a pdf’s page-count and this was one of the solutions I was presented with (Bridge might offer a better sollution, though):
#target photoshop
thePageNumber = getPDFPageCount ( File.openDialog("select pdf"))
alert (thePageNumber);
// by jezz, based on something by xbytor i guess;
function getPDFPageCount(f) {
f.open ('r');
var gotCount = false;
while (! gotCount) {
next_line = f.readln();
if ( f.eof ) {alert("Aborting the script\nWe've got to the end of the file without finding a page count");
     f.close();
     exit();
     if (next_line.indexOf ("/N ") > 0 && next_line.slice(0, 9) != "<</Length" && next_line.slice(0, 9) != "[/Separat") {
     var p = next_line.match (/\/N (\d+)\/T/)[1];
     gotCount = true;
     else if (next_line.indexOf ("/Pages") > 0 ) {
//      alert (next_line);
     var p = parseInt(next_line.substring(next_line.indexOf("/Pages") +6), 10)
     gotCount = true;
f.close ();
return Number(p);
I suppose this approach could be modified to address some of the features you are looking for.
But the issue might be a fairly complicated one, as a pdf may for example combine many different TrimBox-sizes.
Have you asked over in the Bridge Scripting Forum, too?

Do Not Update Display when running Batch Processes

This has been the case since the beginning of time so it would be great if this could be sorted.
I'm sure batch processes would be immeasurably faster if Audition didn't update the waveform display with every single process. When I'm batching hundreds of WAV files this makes things sllllooooowwwwww.
An option before running the batch to 'do not update waveform display' would be a godsend.

Pro Ver 6 Batch Processing Error

When running batch processing on .doc files, at the end of the run the batch processor errors and warnings window shows a "bad parameter" message for each document. But it does not say what the bad parameter is. I can successfully convert the same document manually, so not sure what to do. The log file is no help, as that just contains the same error messages. Running version 6.0.6 of Acrobat Pro, WinXP Pro and Office 2003. The documents are all single page Word files with an embedded .tif file. The manually converted .pdf files look fine.

hi TAJ0808,
there is a fix for it go and ask support we already have it installed.

Batch Processing doesn't update files in Premiere Pro CS5.5

Hi,
I'm not sure if this question should be under 'Audition' or 'Premiere Pro', but I'm selecting a large range of audio clips (from a wedding ceremony) and sending to Audition from Premiere (selecting 'Edit in Adobe Audition')
When the clips appear in the files section of Audition I select 'Batch Process', drop them in and make the batch process start. When everything is finished and the files are automatically saved, I head over to Premiere to see if the wav's have updated - but nothing. Everything is exactly the same.
Any help would be great?
I'm not adding any prefix's etc to the filename, and I'm selecting 'overwrite existing files' and 'same location as original files'.
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Durin,
Sorry for the delay, had a couple of deadlines to meet and ended up doing the hundred-or-so clips one-by-one in audition to get it done.
That's the issue exactly, I go back to Premiere after doing the batch process (and they all auto-save) but Premiere doesn't update the waveform or in fact the audio doesn't show the changes I've just made. The strange thing is that if I do them one by one, then Premiere recognizes the changes and I can get on with it.
The steps I take are: 1) Drop the clip in the timeline, do a bunch of editing (occasionally nesting and multi-cam editing a sequence). 2) Right click and Edit in Audition 3) Open Batch Process in Audition 4) Drag drop all the files just sent to Audition from Premiere, into the Batch Process section 5) Run batch process 6) Go back to Premiere and see if it's updated in the timeline. I wait, and wait, but nothing. Everytime.
I'm thinking it's something simple I've clicked, but have no idea what. Either that or it's some sort of bug issue.
I will be upgrading to CS6 creative cloud soon, hopefully that'll fix it.
If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, thanks for trying.

Is there a way to trigger batch process via Applescript or Javascript?

Based on what I've found so far on the internet, the answer is no. The Applescripts I've found so far that attempt to run a batch process don't work for me in either Acrobat Pro 8 or Pro 9.
I've been using Applescript to automate a process that starts in InDesign (create PDFs), then goes to Acrobat to set open options (I've got a batch process for that but can't find a way to trigger it). If I can get that to work, I'll attempt to automate the task of using a Photoshop droplet to create JPEGs of a specific size from these PDFs.
I've settled on InDesign CS3 for creating single-page PDFs from a multiple-page document, partly because I could not find a scriptable way to do this in Acrobat. I know just enough about Applescript to be dangerous. I know much less about Javascript.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Getting rid of batch processing javascript console popup

So i don't know much javascript but i am doing some relatively simple commands here...
i thought that before whenever i would execute javascript from the batch processing window it would just go through all of the files.... but now it prompts me with the javascript editor for every single file it goes through.
this cannot happen as i am running this on over 1000 pdfs and i must let it run without a user present...
does anyone know how to get rid of the window from popping up? or why it is popping up?
the code i am executing is the following:
/* Extract pages to folder */
// Regular expression used to acquire the base name of file
var re = /\.pdf$/i;
// filename is the base name of the file Acrobat is working on
var filename = this.documentFileName.replace(re,"");
try {for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++)
this.extractPages({
nStart: i,
cPath: filename+"$" + i +"_" + this.numPages + "$.pdf"
} catch (e) { console.println("Aborted: " + e) }
any help is much appreciated

hmm that didnt work either....
what is so wierd to me is i am pretty sure that a couple of days ago i tried using the exact same script and it went through fine... but now it is doing this...
i dont know what could have changed...

Batch process to add Javascript to PDF files

Hi All,
I have written a small piece of Javascript for my PDF files. The idea is to add a date stamp to each page of the document before printing. To do this, I have added the following code to the "Document Will Print" action:
for (var pageNumber = 0; pageNumber < this.numPages; pageNumber++)
var dateStamp = this.addField("Date","text",pageNumber,[700,10,500,40]);
dateStamp.textSize=8;
dateStamp.value = "Date Printed: " + util.printd("dd/mmm/yyyy",new Date());
My question is this: Does anyone know of a way to batch process a whole directory (of around 600 PDF's) to insert my Javascript into the "Document Will Print" action of each file?
Many thanks for any information you may have.
Kind regards,
Aaron

> Can I just confirm a few things please? Firstly, should I be going into "Batch Sequences" -> "New Sequence" and selecting "Execute JavaScript" as my sequence type?
Yes, you are creating new batch sequence that will use JavaScript.
> My second question is, how can I insert my body of script into the variable "cScript"? I have quotation marks and other symbols that I imagine I will have to escape if I wish to do this?
You ca either use different quotation marks or us the JavaScript escape character '\' to insert quotation marks
Your will print code will only work for a full version of Acrobat and not Reader, because Reader will not allow the addition of fields. Also each time you print you will be creating duplicate copies of the field. So it might be better to add the form field only in the batch process and then just add the script to populate the date field in the WillPrint action.
// add form field to each page of the PDF
for (var pageNumber = 0; pageNumber < this.numPages; pageNumber++)
var dateStamp = this.addField("Date","text",pageNumber,[700,10,500,40]);
dateStamp.textSize=8;
this.setAction("WillPrint", "dateStamp.value = \"Date Printed: \" + util.printd(\"dd/mmm/yyyy\",\new Date());");

Data import as a batch process - Issue on successive runs

Hi,
We have a requirement of creating a batch process that will have to read data from REMOTE_TABLE on remote database system and insert all the rows into LOCAL_TABLE on our local data base.
Scenario:
When the batch runs for the first time, since LOCAL_TABLE is empty, all the data is read from REMOTE_TABLE and is getting inserted into LOCAL_TABLE.
But on the successive runs, the same set of data is being duplicated on the LOCAL_TABLE, which I want to avoid.
I want to update only those records on LOCAL_TABLE that were updated in REMOTE_TABLE and I want to insert only those records that were newly created on REMOTE_TABLE.
How can push in some business logic.
Thanks

Running a batch process (via thread) in java

Friends I have gone thru 2 books of java and everywhere it says
that
1) the main thread is the one from which other child threads will
be spawned.
2)Main thread must be the last thread to finish execution.When the main thread stops,your program terminates.
Then I am wondering how it works in my case (albeit with little unpredictably !)
I have this JSP and java application.I throw this JSP and pressing a Submit button I execute a java method in Myclass.java.
If the book is true then this should not work.But it works.
Note that I am using Apache server.
please help.
Myjsp.jsp
processSubmission(true)
class Myclass implements runnable
public void processSubmission(boolean background) throws Exception
if (background) {
Thread oThread = new Thread(this);
oThread.setDaemon(false);
oThread.start();
message = "submission being processed in the background";
return;
my huge batch processing java codes.
public void run()
try
processSubmission(false);
catch(Exception e)

No.
Your program stops when all of the non-daemon threads exit or if the application is explicitly exited - via System.exit().
Even if you substitute daemon for 'child' in the above it still does not apply.
From the java docs
The Java Virtual Machine exits when the only threads running are all daemon threads.
It doesn't say anything about a 'main' thread. And specifically it is likely that all of your threads will be done before the daemon threads have stopped. So it is much more likely that any 'main' threads will stop first and then the daemon threads stop (I can't see it happening any other way.)
Even so I would not rely on execution ordering threads for any purpose. If you need execution ordering then you must explicitly provide for it in your code.
