Script worked in Abobe 7 & 8; not in 10

Hi,
I have a program that produces hundreds of pdfs with each run. Each pdf consists of between 10 and 1,000 ps files. The creation of the ps files is done in a Microsoft Access database. The database sends individual reports as ps files to a watched folder. There are four different reports for each minor group and between 1 and 100 minor groups to a major group. Each major group gets one pdf. In order to signal to Distiller to take action the following script was used:
/PathName (C:\Documents and Settings\X646894\EPEPEBuild/PostScript/*.ps) def
/RunDir {
{ /mysave save def
          dup = flush
          RunFile
          clear cleardictstack
          mysave restore
255 string
filenameforall
} def
PathName RunDir
This has been successful since 2005. We were just upgraded to Adobe Pro X. The script no longer works.   I need to either get help to convert the script so it will work with Distiller X or I need to get a reference to the Distiller scriping language in Adobe Distiller X so I can try to figure this out.
Thank you for your help,
Rick

Exactly what is your problem?
Does your VBA script place the files in the expected watched folder?
Does distiller fail to distill the created file?
Do you keep the log files on failure?
Distiller does not find the watched directory?
What is the version of MS Office that you are using?
For watched files, ever since version 4, there are 2 added subdirectories to the watched folder an 'IN" and "OUT" both created by distiller. The PS file goes into the "In" directory and the PDF, PS and log are placed in the 'Out' subdirectory. I would expect your directory to the 'in' directory for the watched folder 'C:\Documents and Settings\X646894\EPEPEBuild' would have to be
C:\Documents and Settings\X646894\EPEPEBuild/PostScript/in/*.ps

Short, basic VB script works on 2003 Server but not on 2012 R2 server

Hello all,
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. I have a legacy VB script that I need to keep, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on Server 2012 R2.
The script reads a file called "Test.txt" that contains the following string:
String1|String2
Part of the VB script is to read this "Test.txt" file and parse this line into 2 separate elements based upon the "|" delimeter:
On Error Resume Next
Dim FSI, inputFile, String, f, WshShell,WshNetwork, WshFSO, StringArray
inputFile = "Test.txt"
CONST ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
Set FSI = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = FSI.OpenTextFile(inputFile, ForReading, True)
Set WshShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'********* Read the file ********
String = f.ReadLine
msgbox("String: "&string)
'********* Split the line *******
StringArray = Split(String,"|", -1, 1)
msgbox("stringarray(0): "&stringarray(0))
msgbox("stringarray(1): "&stringarray(1))
The variables in this script when ran on Server 2003 are:
string = String1|String2
stringarray(0) = String1
stringarray(1) = String2
So this script parses the String1|String2 line perfectly on Server 2003. However, running this same VB script on Server 2012 R2 results in very strange output:
The variables in this script when ran on Server 2012 R2 are:
string = ӱƥt
stringarray(0) = ӱƥt
stringarray(1) =
Is there anything on Server 2012 R2 that I need to install to get this to work in VB, or what is the issue with Server 2012 R2 and visual basic? I'd LOVE to redo this in PowerShell but I need to keep it Visual Basic for legacy reasons for a few more months.

Hmm interesting. I tried using the 3 different "format" parameters for the OpenTextFile method, and none of them worked on Server 2012 R2:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa265347(v=vs.60).aspx
However, I copied the text file directly from the 2003 server and placed it on the 2012 R2 server, and then the script worked great!
Thanks for steering me in the right direction Bill!

Simple Script works on 10.6 but not 10.5.8

Hi,
Brand new to Applescript...I made a simple script (saved as an application) to rename Excel Sheet Tabs and it works on my MBP (10.6.2) however when I try sharing with other users (10.5.8), it fails to carry out properly. It opens a blank workbook rather than the "test.xls" workbook and won't go any further. Am thinking it might be due to:
1) where the script and .xls file were originally created/saved?
2) 10.6.2 vs. 10.5.8?
3) method of sharing? Tried attaching to Mac OSX Server Wiki, NAS and e-mailing but still wouldn't work.
here's the script-
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
try
open workbook workbook file name "test.xls"
activate object worksheet "names"
set myRange to range "A2" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 3 to myName
set myRange to range "A3" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 4 to myName
set myRange to range "A4" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 5 to myName
set myRange to range "A5" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 6 to myName
set myRange to range "A6" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 7 to myName
set myRange to range "A7" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 8 to myName
set myRange to range "A8" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 9 to myName
set myRange to range "A9" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 10 to myName
set myRange to range "A10" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 11 to myName
set myRange to range "A11" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 12 to myName
end try
end tell
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

PHP Script works in Chrome, IE9 but not in Firefox 15

This page is a PHP script for creating hyperlinks to all files in a directory:
http://www.checktheevidence.co.uk/audio/index.php?dir=&sort=date&order=desc
It works fine in IE9 and Chrome, but Firefox "give up" about 3/4 way down the listing the hyperlinks for the files are no longer shown. Weird stuff.
This issue has been present for a long time

It's not pretty, is it. The problem is that your page opens <strong> tags without closing them. For example:
<div>
<a href="Victoria Derbyshire Cuts off Police Constable talking about The Club in the Police - Radio 5 Live - 13 Sep 2012.mp3" class="w"><b><strong></b>Victoria Derbyshire Cuts off Police Constable talking about The Club in the Police - Radio 5 Live - 13 Sep 2012.mp3 </a>
(1.5 MB) (Modified: Sep 17 2012 11:06:37 PM)
</div>
This causes Firefox to "nest" tags in the page past a maximum depth. After that point, it just dumps text to the page. Similar/related past threads:
* [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/846246 Part way through a particular web page, HTML stops being rendered]
* [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929969 text is missing from webpage]
So just a small fix to your PHP and you should be good to go.

SQL script works in SQL Developer but not when scheduled

I have a script that I can run, logged onto my server as a user with full permissions and into my database as SYSDBA, that produces a CSV file on the server when I run it from SQL Developer ON the server. HOWEVER, when I set it up as a scheduled job, using those SAME CREDENTIALS (same Windows/network user; same database user), I get no output. The job indicates that it's running successfully, but no file gets created.

Script works fine in CC but not CS5- Any tips?

So i have this script that detects instances of XXXXXXXX and turns them into hyperlinks. It works fine in InDesign CC however won't play nice in CS5.
Anyone have any tips as to how I can go about making it work?
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myLinkStyle = myDoc.characterStyles.itemByName("link"); // the Character style of the links
var myURL = "http://www.abc.com.au/part/{part_id}?utm_source=ABC%PublicationName&utm_medium=Catalogue&utm_term={part_id}&utm_campa ign=Catalogue"; // url of your company
var myUrlPartReplace = new RegExp("{part_id}", 'g');
var i, myLinks, myLink, mySource, myDestination;
for (i = myDoc.hyperlinkTextSources.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
    mySource = myDoc.hyperlinkTextSources[i];
    if (mySource.sourceText.appliedCharacterStyle == myLinkStyle){
        mySource.remove(); // removes existing hyperlinks to avoid "double bookings"
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\<(\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d)\\>";
myLinks = myDoc.findGrep();
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
for (i = 0; i < myLinks.length; i++){
   myLink = myLinks[i];
   mySource = myDoc.hyperlinkTextSources.add(myLink);
   myDestination = myDoc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add(myURL.replace(myUrlPartReplace, myLink.contents.replace(" ", "")));

Thanks in advance!

HI Trevor,
Thanks for the suggestion. I copied the script into a new file and tried to run from the ESTK... no luck (see screenshot).

Scroll script works in Flash 6, but not in 9

I have a simple scroller script that works fine for scrolling
a movieclip in Flash 6, but when I publish in anything later, it no
longer scrolls. Both are set to AS2. Is there an obvious reason
that anyone can see of why this should be? When I test the script
syntax in the actions panel, it says there are no errors in the
script. By tracing I can see that there's no trouble with targeting
the up and down buttons or scroll slider, and the slider still
drags, but the content MC doesn't move as it should. Thank you very
much for your help, in advance. Here's the script, in case the
answer isn't obvious from the description:

You were right! It works now, even as posted above. I just
remembered I had fixed an upper/lower case inconsistency just for
neatness since I last tested, never thinking that would fix the
problem! I just tested again and to my surprise, it works great. I
guess neatness does count!!! Thanks again, kglad!

Script works for one frame but not another

I set up 2 keyframes, each one loads a different text file
into a dynamic text box. The text box for the first keyframe is
named "session" and the text box for the second keyframe is named
"oneptq". The text file for the first text box is named Titles.txt
and the text file for the second keyframe is 100Q.txt. The code I'm
using is identical (except for the respective names of the text
boxes and text files) but for some reason the text will load in the
first text box but not the second.
Here's my AS for the first keyframe:
lvLoader = new LoadVars();
lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
if(success)
session.text = lvLoader.textbody;
lvLoader.load("Titles.txt");
And my AS for the second keyframe:
lvLoader = new LoadVars();
lvLoader.onLoad = function(success)
if(success)
oneptq.text = lvLoader.textbody;
lvLoader.load("100Q.txt");
I can't figure this thing out. Please help. Thanks.

Have you double checked that it's a DYNAMIC text box? Maybe
it was accidentally swapped by to static at some point...

Script works in one frame, but not with frames before it

Hi all-
I'm a complete AS/Flash n00b, but hoping that I can get some guidance on this.
I'm trying to test a very simple function for an e-learning module that is to train people on using 'quick keys' or key combinations on their keyboard. Basically, I want to show them a command and have them practice. In the practice, they will be asked to use a command and then have to do it on their keyboard.
I used the code below successfully with one frame and a couple layers. I created a text-area ("traceArea), put it on the stage, set up the event and function... it works great! (although I'm sure the code isn't very pretty) When anything other than ctrl-p is pressed, it traces the "Try again!" message and when ctrl-p is pressed, "Great job!" pops up.
stop();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, detectKey);
function detectKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void
if (event.ctrlKey== true && event.keyCode==80 )
traceArea.text = "Great job!";
else
traceArea.text = "Try again!";
So, then I tried to build on to the file and added two frames before the previous AS code.
Frame 1 - Intro
A short introduction to the 'module' with a continue button. The code for this frame is:
stop();
continueBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,buttonPressed);
function buttonPressed(event:MouseEvent)
nextFrame();
Frame 2 - Instructions
This frame shows the viewer the correct keys to use to print (ctrl-p). There is another continue button here. Code:
stop();
continueBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,buttonPressed);
The last frame is then the 'practice' (see first code above).
When I run this file, there are no errors, but when it gets to that last frame, nothing is traced and there is no output on any keyboard command. I know the solution must be pretty easy, but I'm missing it and have no idea what it might be!
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
-Andy

use the trace function to debug your flash code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, detectKey);
function detectKey(event:KeyboardEvent):void
trace(event);
if (event.ctrlKey== true && event.keyCode==80 )
traceArea.text = "Great job!";
else
traceArea.text = "Try again!";

GPRM Button scripts work in Simulate, but not after burning

Hello everyone:
I have a question regarding GPRM-based buttons and scripting menu navigation. My scripts work perfectly in DVD Studio Pro's simulate mode, but after building and formatting a DVD, the scripts do not function properly on a set top box, in Apple DVD Player, or when playing from the Video TS folder. The scripts were based off of a tutorial by Hal MacLean at dvdstudiopro.co.uk.
Essentially, I have one track which is accessed via a Main Menu or a Chapters Menu. There is an animation that plays at the head of each menu, so menu has a loop point. The user should return to the correct screen, the correct button should be highlighted, and the menu should jump to the loop point. All of these things happen in simulate mode, but after burning, the loop point is ignored: The correct menu and buttons are highlighted, but the menu plays from the beginning. Here is how the project is laid out:
From the main menu, if the user chooses Play Movie, the following script plays:
mov GPRM 0, 1
Jump Feature
From the main menu, if the user chooses Chapters, the following script plays:
mov GPRM 0, 0
Jump Chapters Menu
Each of the chapter buttons is assigned to the start of a scene. The feature's menu call is assigned to the following script:
mov GPRM 1, SPRM 8
div GPRM 1, 1024
Jump Main Menu(Loop) [GPRM 1] if (GPRM 0 = 1)
Jump Chapters Menu(Loop) [GPRM 1]
I was able to make the menus behave properly by writing the scripts this way:
mov GPRM 1, SPRM 8
div GPRM 1, 1024
Jump Main Menu Script [GPRM 1] if (GPRM 0 = 1)
Jump Chapters Menu Script [GPRM 1]
Main Menu Script:
Jump Main Menu(Loop)
Chapters Menu Script:
Jump Chapters Menu (Loop)
But, although the user is returned to the correct menu and the loop point, now only the default button is highlighted.
Has anyone run into the same issues? Can anyone see any flaws in my scripts, or have any suggests? i would really appreciate any thoughts you all have. Thanks for your time!

Do you have any pre scripts atached to the menus? I was having the same problems as you and found that pre scripts and GPRMs don't play nice (at least in DSP). Removing the pre scripts solved my issue.

Script Works in Formcalc but not Javascript

I have two radio button lists laid out in two columns to select garment sizes (small, medium, large). The "M" side is MEN and the "W" side is WOMEN. The Radio button lists are named MENS and WOMEN respectively.
ITEM    QTY.       COST       ITEM    QTY.    COST
||MS                          ||WS
||MM                          ||WM
||ML                          ||WL
||NO SELECTION                ||NO SELECTION
                    TOTAL                      TOTAL
The user selects the size using the radio button, moves into the QTY field to input the quantity and the COST is automatically calculated in a read-only numeric field (the QTY and COST fields are not shown above).
However, if a radio button (other than "NO SELECTION") is selected in one list and you attempt to select something in the OTHER list, after inputting a quantity a message box will pop up saying: “Unable to calculate totals. You have an active selection in the other side. Please set the other side to 'No Selection' to continue." The event used for this in the QTY field is "exit".
Additionally, the fields are reset to zero (0) making the TOTAL zero (0).
The "NO SELECTION" button of each list has a value of 1.
I have a formcalc script in each of the QTY fields on the mens side that read:
if (Women > 1) then
   xfa.host.messageBox("Unable to calculate totals. You have an active selection in Women. Please set
   Women to 'No Selection' to continue.")
     MS=0
     MM=0
     ML=0
endif
The WOMEN side has a similar formcalc script if something is selected on the MENS side. It works fine in formcalc. However, when I try to use Javascript to perform this, the message box does not appear.
if (Women > 1) {
   xfa.host.messageBox("Unable to calculate totals. You have an active selection in Women. Please set
   Women to 'No Selection' to continue.");
      MS=0;
      MM=0;
      ML=0;
I am teaching myself JS and wanted to put functions into the project since this is all repetitive. However, I don't understand why it works with formcalc and not JS. The book I purchased for learning JS was a bad choice (and I won't mention it here). However, any help would be apppreciated.
BTW, I used UPPER CASE in this post for emphasis. The case matches in the actual script.

Paul, will this script work, instead?
var brain
var correctSyntax = "Object.rawValue"
if (correctSyntax != "Object.rawValue") {
   xfa.host.messageBox("YOU ARE AN IDIOT!);
   brain = ""
Learning Javascript is gonna be a loooong process for me
But as they say, if you don't make mistakes, how will you learn? I'm glad there are guys like you around.
THANKS, PAUL!

OOTB script supplied with Illustrator CC does not work

Hi everybody,
I'm searching someone that could tell me how to use the scrpit supplied out-of-the box with Illustrator CC whose french name is "EnregistrerDocAuFormatSVG". As I have only a french version of the product, I do not know the english name. This script is supposed to export all opened files in Illustrator in SVG format in a suppplied folder.
Each time I used it, the SVG that is done is not correct whereas the same operation I have done manually using "Save As..." is working. In other words, the SVG done manually is not the same as the SVG done using the script !!!
So I think that there are some errors in the script or some missing configuration.
Please help me solve this problem.
I already post a french post for this problem, but it seems that the community is more english people...so I repost the post in english.
I will also post the same post in "Scripting Illustrator forum", because I do not know which forum is the best to receive such a problem.
Eric.

Thanks you,
Hi,
I was just reading this part of reference guide when you answered to me.
After some tries, I succeded modyfing the original script so that SVG is saved in a good way...
But now my work is not finished: I need to automate this three steps in whatever way.
I thought that the best way was to automate the processus of loading a file and running the script using automation...but even if the program is working, the result is not good (I do not understand why). When having a phone call with support technical team, I understood that whereas Illustrator permits to automate, this operation is not supported.
So I have to find another way that is supported by Adobe to do the same thing as the automation function...
I though that I could write a command line that could take a paramter (my input file I want to convert) and run Illustartor with some program line parameters.
Is there some way to run a script after having open a file in Illustrator ?
Eric.

Script worked in Abobe 7 & 8; not in 10
