Script to Submit XFDF in the background?

I was wondering if anyone has any hints or techniques on how to submit a pdf as XFDF in the background using javascript on a web instance of Adobe Reader. Right now, I have a button that when the user hits save, submits the XFDF to another web page that then saves the data to the database. I'd love to be able to do this without having to redirect the user to a new page. I'd like to be able to just have it save in the background and keep the user on the web page and maybe even use a timer option in Javascript to do an auto submit at a time interval.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
John

Could you please elaborate on your requirement. In general we use SM36 and SM37 for IM creation and scheduling. For IM activation you have to use program RIMODAC2 and create and schedule job using SM36 and SM37

PHP script won't run in the background

Hi all
Hope someone can help me with a weird issue I have...
I am trying to run a php CLI script in the background and it just won't run - it has a status of Stopped SIGTOU (Trying to write output) - Here are the details
OS
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
PHP
PHP 5.3.6 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Sep 8 2011 19:34:00)
Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies
I created a basic script test.php
<?php echo 'Hello world'.PHP_EOL; ?>
Here are the results of various tests:-
Test 1) php -f test.php (Hello world gets displayed)
Test 2) php -f test.php >test.log 2>&1 (Hello world gets put into test.log)
Test 3) php -f test.php >test.log 2>&1 & --- I get [1]+ Stopped(SIGTTOU) php -f test.php > test.log 2>&1 -- and the job just sits there doing nothing nothing gets logged however lsof shows the log file is open
It has to be something to do with Apple's php build because a similar bash shell script gets executed no problems in the background...
This has me stumped ... any ideas? What can I do to find out what is going on ...?
TIA
Rich

Just realized your trying to load the php files by using the File->Open menu item in the Browser. That won;t work.
You have to load the php file by placing it in the Sites folder and entering http://localhost/file.php
(or if you have user Sites enabled http://localhost/~user/file.php)
The reason it is grayed out is that the browser doesn't run (or know of) php files. The web server runs those (via php) and the output of the file goes to the web browser.
This page How to enable Web Sharing in OS X Mountain Lion does a pretty good job of explaining it. (as does the user tip I lonked to before)

The submit button on my form will not show the word SUBMIT. I type it in but as soon as I take the form out of edit mode SUBMIT disappears. The background is yellow and SUBMIT is in black. Any ideas?

I can't make the word SUBMIT stay visible on the submit button

Yes. They need to download Reader and then disable Google Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe Reader.
FireFox should also be configured to use Adobe Reader and not the internal PDF viewer.
The internal viewers are created to process PDF documents by not including the features and code to process PDF forms.

Script to open RSS feed url's and post those in the background to a webpage

Dear everyone,
Im trying to work on a script that should do:
- Read My Apple mail RSS feeds every 120 seconds
- extract a NUMBER from the links from those RSS feeds
- then post them to a website url site.com/rss.php?id=<extracted id>
- It should run totally in the background of my apple
- The links should be posted in the background also without opening any browser or safari
Is this possible?
I have my apple now 4 months and this is my first applescript project, so its a bit too much for me, ive spend several hours investigating on how to do this can someone help me out a bit please?
on idle
if application "Mail" is running then
-- read RSS feeds from apple mail
-- Extract link ID www.site.com/?id=12345
-- Post Id 12345 to http://site.com/rss.php?id=<the id>
end if
return 120
end idle

Read My Apple mail RSS feeds every 120 seconds
Start by using a different RSS application.
Mail.app doesn't provide any access to RSS feeds via AppleScript, so there is no chance of doing this with Mail.app (or, at least, no easy way to do so).
Try something like NetNewsWire instead.
Once you have a viable app, the first part is pretty straightfoward:
on idle
if application "NetNewsWire" is running then
--extract a NUMBER from the links from those RSS feeds
tell application "NetNewsWire" to set numLinks to total unread count
end if
return 120
end if=idle
From here, though, I don't know what you're trying to do. You say:
then post them to a website url site.com/rss.php?id=<extracted id>
Do you mean you want to post the number of RSS messages (since that's what you asked for earlier), or do you mean you want to re-post the RSS articles? Or do you mean you want to download the links and re-post the entire linked article?
That's three options (and there are probably more), each of which require a different approach.

Can a script be written to take the next 2 files in a folder and place them on a background image..then saving with the first images filename..?

Hello all, I hope you can help.
In Photoshop I have a problem to overcome and have delved into the world of scripting..
If there is a quick way to produce the following could someone help me with some pointers?
Here is my situation..
I need to produce a photograph proof card, these are for a double image option so cause me a headache compared to just creating an action..
This proof card really is just a set of two different photographs placed onto a background image.
I would produce two different images of the same person and name them exactly the same except they are suffixed with an A or B to keep them together, these would be in a folder with approx 500 other images for example (250 x two of each person)
My preference for the process would be done in the following sequence:
1/ Open the background file jpg (which is sized at 2400 x 1800 pixels @ 300dpi)
2/ Load the first image from the batch file and place this.
3/ Get the filename of the first image and create it as a text layer and write it below the image at 10 point text size.
4/ Create another copy of this layer and change the font to 3of9barcode font, however the font needs an asterisk before the text then again after it. e.g. *filenameA*
Only the first image has the need for a barcode as they are for the same person. This is at 18 point.
5/ Load the next sequential image from the batch file and place this.
6/ Get the filename for the second image and as Item 3/ create a text layer below at 10 point text size.
7/ Place a png overlay with my copyright information over the images (I need to do this twice, once for each image)
8/ Flatten the images and save the file in a new folder with the same filename as the first image.
I can do this in Lightroom with the exception of putting the barcoded text, and the filenaming, this is because the background image is used as the identity plate and the filename is not based on the data from either photograph..
Can anyone shed some light on where to go from here?
Kind regards
Bryan

Photoshop Scripting-wise this seems fairly "easy".
But I would recommend creating a template file (that already combines background image, png overlay and the Type Layers).
Maybe data driven graphics would also be an option …

Is there and ipad app that allows you to record and edit audio, but can record in the background? This would be to record voiceover auditions/podcasts while reading a script

Hi wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I am an audio engineer and my wife is a voiceover artist. We just got the ipad thinking she could record her voiceover auditions on the go, but we can't for the life of us figure out how to record audio while reading a script off of her email.
Looking for an app that:
Either can record audio while in the background (garageband cannot)
OR Import text (copy paste I guess?) to read while recording
The app needs to be able to edit audio and export or email out an MP3 - by edit audio I mean trim, fades, and move around sections.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? I have been looking around the web for answers for hours and can't find any. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi- I've done a lot of research in this area and actually am just finishing a book on this subject which will soon be in the iBookstore.
The best app is TwistedWave. It allows easy editing and recording, and also allows you record while you are in another app (such as a script your agent sent in your email)
I recommend MiC by Apogee as your microphone, available at the Apple store.
My book which goes in depth in how to get the best sound as well as how to edit is called:
iVoiceover
Super. Simple. Recording.
I'll post here when it's live in the iBookstore!

How to create a "global" variable in Photoshop (or let a script "sleep" in the background)

I tried to toggle the select-tool and the move-tool with a script. Seems simple enough. Something like:
var toggleState;
if (toggleState == true){
    activateMoveTool();
    toggleState = false;
if (toggleState == false){
    activateSelectTool();
    toggleState = true;
should do it (well, beside the "activateMoveTool" and "activateSelectTool" functions, which are not a problem).
But how to rember the variable toggleState? I tried to make it global, but did not find a way. Is there any?
Or could I just have an objekt(or funktion) running in the background that would keep track of variables like that one?

Not having X's programing background I think of an action reference as something that tells Photoshop what to do. And yes it is like a little action that you write instead of record. For example the code that I and X posted could also be written like this
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" ), stringIDToTypeID('tool') );// what key to get
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );// where to get it from
var cTool = executeActionGet(ref);// in this case returns a one key descriptor
var cToolTypeID = cTool.getEnumerationType( stringIDToTypeID('tool') );// get the value of that key
alert( typeIDToStringID( cToolTypeID ) );// make that value readable
Most of the ordinals you will see will be target as Photoshop likes whatever you are working on to be active. You sometimes see next or previous. I can't recall seeing a 'normal ordinal' like first or second.
There is not much in the way of documentation. Most of what I know comes from looking at the scriptlistner log, xtools and X himself, and a little bit of code I put together for exploring action descriptors and action list. It's not as nice as X's getterdemo but works more the way I think. It sends it's output to the ESTK console window
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
var desc = executeActionGet(ref)
var c = desc.count ;
//for(var i=0;i<c;i++){ // to enumerate list
// $.writeln('Key '+i+' = '+desc.getType(i))
for(var i=0;i<c;i++){ //enumerate descriptor's keys
$.writeln('Key '+i+' = '+typeIDToStringID(desc.getKey(i))+': '+desc.getType(desc.getKey(i)))

Running an SQL script in the background

Hi all,
I am executing a simple but long running script. Is there a possibility to have the script executed in the background so that I can close the SQL Developer with the script still being executed?
Thanks for your help,
Jan

Yes, but you'll have to schedule it using DBMS_SHEDULER or the older DBMS_JOB package. The latter is somewhat implemented inside sqldev, using the Jobs node.
Hope that helps,
K.

Changing the background by hovering over an object / triggering a jQuery script

Thanks to this thread i managed to implement a js library called backstretch, which adds dynamically resized background images to either the whole site or objects.
so far so good. Now i'm working on my portfolio page, and i want to change the background image when you're hovering over the thumbnail of an individual project like it was done here.
So i guess the script has to be triggered somehow, but i don't know how to do that. Any ideas on how this could be achieved are highly appreciated.
cheers,
Rabauke

Very simple.
create a symbol with your background
create the rotation in the symbol - select the background - select rotate at first frame - move playhead to the right - select rotate and change 0 to 360.
add code to last frame at 360 degrees.
var randomAColor = '#' + (Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF << 0).toString(16);
sym.$('Ellipse').css({'background-color': randomAColor});
sym.play(0);
here is the sample:
Randomly change color on rotation.zip - Box
Also see this file that has different ways to randomize colors with rgba, names or hexadecimals.

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

Running a database update in the background

I have a web application which needs to allow the user to
run a process in the background. The user needs the ability to
kick off a long-running process that will move data from a Sybase database to a datawarehouse. However, since the process may take up to 6 hrs, we don't want the process running on the user web browser. We just want them to click submit and then the process is kicked off and the user is notified by email when it is completed.
I tried using runtime to call a java program but, since we use JNDI to do our database lookup, I get the following error:
java.lang.Exception: Unable to get database connection in Move.moveProgram method.<br>java.lang.Exception: Unable to get DB connection in Move.initComm():<br>javax.naming.NamingException: JNDIManager::getDBConnection() getContext/lookup error: javax.naming.NamingException: java:comp/env namespace is only available from within a J2EE component
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
RM

My first suggestion would be to move the entire process out of the web server.
Secondly, don't do it is java. You can probably write a script that will extract it from Sybase in a formatted form and then load it in the data warehouse using the tools that came with it. One advantage would be that it will take significantly less time that doing it with java.
But if you must do it in java, then the client initiates a request. The server code starts a process using Runtime.exec() which is the java program. Or the process runs all the time and just waits for a request to come it to start processing (using a socket.) If you do it that way then you can run it on another box. And you don't have to figure out how to tell if it is already running.

I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
here is what I have so far:
tell application "Finder"
tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
end tell
end tell
so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
thanks in advance for any and all help with this

According to this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.
