Scripting problem dealing with Acrobat 9's extra (unwanted) nodes

Hello All,
I'm having a few issues with the way Acrobat 9 creates extra nodes in the model tree when you try to export it
out as a u3d.  Here's what i mean.
In version 8, my object tree looks something like this:
<Node Name="model">
       <Node Name="DTM">
             <Node Name="D1"/>
             <Node Name="D2"/>
             <Node Name="D3"/>
             <Node Name="D4"/>
But, when i export the same model in version 9, the object tree looks something like this
<Node Name="model">
       <Node Name="model.u3d">
             <Node Name="DTM">
                  <Node Name="D1">
                         <Node Name="D1"/>
                   </Node>
                        <Node Name="D2">
                              <Node Name="D2"/>
                   </Node>
                   <Node Name="D3">
                         <Node Name="D3"/>
                   </Node>
                   <Node Name="D4">
                         <Node Name="D4"/>
                   </Node>
Acrobat 9 adds a new level of nodes.  This is a problem for me as i have been using a simple script to toggle my
objects on/off.  The script that i've have been using:
var Context = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;
var mesh = Context.scene.meshes.getByName("D1");
mesh.visible = !mesh.visible
This works fine under version 8 but not in version 9. I'm assuming that with the new level of nodes, i have to alter my script to reflect this. Does anyone know how i can adjust my script to make this work with all these extra nodes?
Thanks

I think I have isolated the source of this problem. It's the Pitstop Professional 9 plug in. I un-installed this, and everything opens quicker than greased lightning. I re-installed it and it's back to slowsville.
Unfortunately Pitstop is essential to my workflow.
Until recently I did my pre-press on a Mac G5 with Acrobat Pro 7 and Pitstop 6.5. I never had this problem with slow file opening. But it seems that the delays would occur when I used the plug-in with large complex files.. So it would open files as fast as you'd expect from an elderly machine. But starting to use Pitstop would result in a prolonged period of staring at a spinning beachball.
I wonder is there any way to stop the Pitstop plug-in from initializing until it is used? So the plug-in stays inert until you select the tool from from the menus.

  • Problems Scanning with Acrobat XI Pro for Mac

    I am running Acrobat 11.0.10 on a Mac computer (Yosemite 10.10.2).  Ever since i have updated Acrobat, when i attempt to scan documents with my Epson Photo RX620 it won't scan.
    When i try it without image correction, it tells me "an Error occurred while scanning".  If I attempt to scan using manual image correction, it will scan the document, and when it gets to the end of the scan, it says scanning canceled.
    Prior to the update, I was having no issues scanning with the same equipment.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hey JeffSPHR,
    Please refer this KB doc link mentioned below and try troubleshooting scanner issues:

  • Outlook 2010 has problems dealing with in-line attachment (not an Exchange issue!)

    Hi all...
    Is there an official way to have this bug looked at? 
    (Note -- it is *not* the Exchange/PDF bug that has been semi-addressed with the very-recentInterim Update for Exchange 2007...)
    If I set up Outlook 2010 to use an IMAP server account (not an Exchange account) and send that account a message from Apple's Mail.app program -- that contains an in-line attachment -- Outlook 2010 displays the e-mail incorrectly.
    If I send e-mail using Apple Mail of the form:
    <some text>
    attachment  (and in this case I've tried .pdf, .docx, .xls, etc. -- it seems not to matter what the attachment is...)
    <additional text>
    <signature>
    Outlook 2010 displays the resulting e-mail with a problem:
    The received e-mail will look like this
    <some text>
    then *two* attachments -- the attached file *and* an "Untitled Attachment" that contains the <additional text> and <signature> parts of the e-mail (!)
    The reproducible bug (at least here) is that Outlook 2010 should display the remaining text after the in-line attachment within the *body* of the e-mail message.
    Again, this is *not* the recent Exchange issue with .pdf files -- this is strictly an Outlook issue.
    Any thoughts/help on this one?
    - Steve

    Hello,
    In order to get a better understanding of your issue I have a few questions:
    1: You mention that the sending client is an Apple mail application. Do you see this issue when sending from a non-Apple email client?
    2: Which version of Apple Mail app are you using?
    3: If you send the same mail to an Outlook 2007 or earlier version of Outlook do you see the same issue?
    4:  What is the format of the Email when being sent from the Apple mail client, is it HTML; Plain Text or Rich Text? Additionally, what happens if you send the same email but change the format.
    5: If you send an Inline attachment to the Apple Mail application from Outlook 2010, what happens?
    6: As per the Post you are attaching a single Inline attachment with text before and after the attachment before sending the email, but when you receive the mail in Outlook you get two attachments. Are these attachments still inline attachments?
    7: The second file attachment; next to the remaining text and the signature does it contain any other text? Like some error added by the server?
    9: Instead of .pdf, .docx, .xls file if you send an image as an inline attachment from the Apple mail application, then so you see the issue?
    10: If you send the files as normal attachment not inline does everything work?
    Below is an article which may be applicable to your issue although it pertains to an earlier version of Outlook:
    ‘Outlook renders inline message information as an attachment’
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814111
    I also came across a user who experience similar issue and they suggested, setting the apple mail application to Always insert attachment at the end of the message.
    View->Attachments and select "Always Insert Attachments at End of Message
    Let me know what the results are using that setting.
    Do let me know if you have any queries regarding the same and I shall try my best to address it as far as possible.

  • Script to Deal with Organizing Music

    Hello all,
    So I've been wanting to organize my music collection for a while, and I wanted to also fix errors with tags. Instead of spending an hour to do it by hand, and have things degenerate again over time, I wanted to create a script that would do this all automatically every time I ran it.  I'm just not really sure how to write out the script.
    So here's what I want the script to do:
    My music is organized in the ~/music folder on my machine. Each folder here is an artist's name. I want to use a tool like mp3id to take this folder name as a variable like $artist_name and force all music files under it to have $artist_name in metadata.
    In each artist's folder, there will be a folder for each album. I want to to make sure all files under each album contain the the album name and the appropriate album art, if possible.
    What would be a good way to go about scripting this? I'm a little bit familiar with shell scripting, but I'm not sure about mp3 metadata editors, or how to make a script visit every subfolder in a given folder. Any insights are appreciated!

    I've also found that foobar2000 on Wine tends to work quite well for this task -- Masstagger for unifying the tagging scheme, its file operations for the directory reorganization. Though I haven't used Picard in some time, and if you can get it to do this I'll be looking into it again.

  • My problem deals with the url bar.

    Before switching to 5.0, I was able to type in let's say something like, "Imdb.com jack nicholson" into the url bar & I would end up on the actors Imdb profile, but now since I switched, it just re directs me the google search for his page. So, is there something I can do or re config to back to the way it once was? Thanks!

    There is a change beginning in Firefox 4 in how Location bar search works.
    *'''''In Firefox 3.6.x''''', Location bar search uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and
    **if there is a clear match it will take you to the site
    **otherwise it shows the Google search result page
    *'''''Firefox 4's default''''' is
    **to perform a Google search and present the Google search results page '''''if''''' you type something which is not recognized as a URL
    **you must type a complete URL, such as www.youtube.com , to go directly to the site
    To get the Firefox 3.6.x behavior in Firefox 4. you need to change a hidden preference '''''OR''''' install the add-on below.
    '''To change the preference:'''
    #Type '''''about:config''''' into the location bar and press the Enter key
    #If you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #A list of preferences will open
    #Filter = keyword.URL
    #Double-click on that preference in the lower pane
    #A small window will appear; copy one of the URLs below and paste into the box in that small window (or type it into the box in that window '''''exactly''''' as shown below):
    *Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=

  • Problems dealing with huge amounts of email!  Help!

    I have my own business and receive about 200 emails
    per day, mostly spam email.
    When iPhone synched to my email accounts it downloaded
    about 1500 emails that I suppose it pulled off my server
    (although I have been deleting them off my Mac daily).
    In any case, with this much email, iPhone cannot handle
    deletions. From what I see there is no option for a mass
    delete and I have to sit here and delete each message
    one-by-one.
    Additionally, while deleting in this manner, the iPhone
    locks up after a handful of deletions, probably because
    it can't process those deletions very fast. After a few
    minutes of freeze-up I am able to continue deleting
    more messages.
    Anyone having email deletion lockups, and more importantly,
    has anyone found a way to do a MASS DELETION of email?
    Look forward to your replies.

    It may be too late, and I don't have a direct answer to your question, but maybe a possible solution going forward. Setup the push email via yahoo, then have your email coming into your business addressforwarded to the yahoo account. Now any new email coming in will go to the yahoo push account and you won't get bogged down by retrieving old email off your server. Plus you will use less battery checking email as the push will just send it to the phone instead of having to check it. Just a thought....

  • System Events not working correctly with Acrobat Professional

    Hey Guys, I have a script that I have written that automatically enables security settings on a PDF through Acrobat Professional. Because of Acrobats poor scriptability I am forced into doing much though System Events.
    This is not a major problem... however when activating some settings in the security settings, often warning Alert dialog boxes appear when you tell System Events to enable particular settings. These Alerts do not have a title... The only way I have been able to get the script to deal with them is with the following code:
    if title of front window is "" then
        tell front window
            click button "OK"
        end tell
    end if
    I guess this is an ok solution... bit hard to identify windows when they don't have titles...
    BUT this is not my main problem. The main problem is that the script gets to one of these alert dialog boxes and just sits there... It sits there for like 10 seconds and then it performs the "click button "OK"" command.
    This is a problem as there are like 3 of these instances and it really adds up. Can anybody help me... I am using Acrobat Professional 8.2.0 and the entire code is:
    tell application "System Events"

  • How can I use applescript for OCR of a bunch of files - with Acrobat XI?

    Hi there,
    Iwant to write a script (eg applescript) that can be used as a droplet or has a menu to open a folder of scanned pdf-files to conduct OCR. And - I want to use Acrobat XI (as this is my version), German verison.
    As Acrobat XI is not recordable with the applescript-editor and I do not find a manual of objects and methods I googled a script that worked with Acrobat 9 but not with Acrobat XI. Here you define a "Action Assistant"-Script e.g. called "OCR this" and "click" the item. But as in Acrobat XI this Item is noch in the main-sbubmenu anymore it seems not to work.
    Here is a Screenshot:
    And this is theapplescrpt, tha opens the "Aktionsassistent":
    click the menu item "Aktionsassistent" of menu "Werkzeuge" of menu item "Werkzeuge" of menu "Anzeige" of menu bar item "Anzeige" of menu bar 1
    Butr then I cannot reach "OCR this".
    If any body has a hint - either for clicking "OCR this" or to sript  an OCR on an opened pdf.file with applescript this would be great.
    Thanks,
    Maritn

    AppleScript is documented in the Acrobat SDK. But there is no method for this.

  • How to deal with this problem?

    How to deal with this problem?
    We plan to use Oracle Coherence (In Memory Data Grid) for a large-scale application. In order to keep the database table data in Coherence caches, we will create all the corresplonding Java objects (entities) and construct the persistence system using JPA/EclipseLink+JDBC. In this way, any in-memory object update will be persisted to the corresponding database tables.
    The problem is that some existing application codes are updating these database tables directly now. If the direct-database-table update is not permmited in the persistence environment, we have to discard most of the existing application scripts.
    I want to know, in this situation, should I discard most of the existing scripts?
    Are there any other solutions?

    Allowing writes from both cache & DB is possible with its own set of issues.
    The main issue to consider is conflicts from updates on same record via both cache and DB. If your caches are write-through the conflict decreases - but then cache writes become slower. If your caches are write-behind potentially the older cache update will overwrite the latest DB update. Now you are back to Database 101 -- timestamps, versions, etc...
    If you use a DB trigger to initiate the resync request you might want to distinguish whether the update has come from the cache-store (in which case, you may choose to do nothing), or if the update was from the 'existing apps', etc...
    If you choose to inject the resync logic at the application code level - you have the usual sourcecode issues - can you modify the code, is all the DB code localized, what options do you have to link with Coherence functionality (DLL, external proc, webservice, etc), etc... Naturally though, if you have to make substantial changes to signal a resync....you might consider taking the extra step and change the code to write to the cache.

  • How to deal with "Script stopped responding" in general Part 3

    OK, I have asked about this issue before, and am back because it won't go away.
    First, I have tried resetting Firefox. Yesterday was the most recent time.
    I have tried using add-on Script Blockers.
    The Script Blocker program worked for a while. The problem is that the primary source of the script problems are Hotmail and Gmail, and I need to have these functioning and open. Plus it is not easy to determine what a script does before deciding to let it in.
    So I'm going to start from the computer user perspective: Why does this happen at all?
    I understand the need for scripts to be used for websites to function. What I don't understand is why my entire computer slows to a crawl, some programs get cut off entirely, and then I have to try to figure out what webpage is causing the problem...slowly. Even when I click the box to stop the script, my computer is still incredibly slow for an unreasonable amount of time. By unreasonable amount, I mean that it is so long that I can't even close Firefox within 5 minutes just to make it stop. By unreasonable amount, I mean I have actually just set my computer to restart so that Firefox will be forced closed and then cancel the restart when Firefox shuts down.
    What can Hotmail, Gmail, or any other program be doing that is of sufficient importance that it can essentially take over the computer? Nothing that isn't critical to the functioning of the computer should have this power. There is nothing critical about a script on Hotmail while I'm not even using that should let it take over all of the computer's resources. I would rather have Hotmail crash and shut off than have it let a script take over my computer. I can click on my Hotmail start up button within seconds while a script that won't respond might take 15 minutes to deal with.
    So can someone please explain to me why this system exists? Why isn't there a command that says "a script may use up this amount of processing power only" that allows a person to keep using their computer while the script futily whirls away? Why isn't there a way to have an automatic setting like "let a script try to run for X seconds and if it doesn't work just stop it"? Why doesn't a window pop-up on the computer screen regardless of where the script problem is to alert you what webpage is causing the problem instead of making the user guess?
    There doesn't even seem to be much purpose to the scripts. If I stop a script that is not responding on Hotmail, I can still use Hotmail when the computer recovers. So why does this happen?
    This system seems insane to me. Honestly, I don't understand why scripts are allowed to do this. Can someone at least help with an explanation of why this happens? Why there isn't a way to make it stop? In a world of apps it seems like something that would kill non-responding scripts after a brief time would be a winner. How did we reach this chokepoint in computer functioning and why haven't we figured out how to stop it?
    Thank you for any help, whether it be fixing the problem or just explaining the purpose.

    Hi auzziewog, a couple of thoughts on long pauses.
    In some cases, this is caused by Firefox waiting on content from the server, or loading some content into a plugin. Other than blocking some extraneous content in pages and setting plugins to "Ask to Activate" (click-to-play) on the Add-ons page, this is a hard problem to solve.
    If the problem is a script (the eventual appearance of the dialog suggests that possibility), please see the above reference post.
    Perhaps it is a combination of those things, since scripts often run after some other elements are loaded...

  • How to deal with multiple language SQL script?

    Hi All,
    We now want to create a SQL script that contains multiple languages(English, Chinese, Japanese), this script need to be run at there different database installed on different OS, for example, Oracle9i on Windows 2000 English Edition/Chinese Edition/Japanese Edition.
    If I save the file as ANSI format, this file will only be recognized at local OS(e.g. the Chinese and Japanese character will not be normally displayed on other OS, if I run the script, the CH/JP characters will not be stored normally in DB).
    If I save the file as Unicode format, this file can be recognized by all three OS, but Oracle SQL Plus will not recognize it, thus we can't run the script.
    Who can tell me how to deal with this issue? Is it possible to save only one script that can run on different language OS?
    Thanks,
    Spark

    Hi,
    The ISQLplus supports multiple languages, but there will be following problems for my case:
    1.ISQLplus don't support Unicode format script too, so I must save the file as ANSI format.
    2.To display the characters normally depends on the database server's platform. I create a script contain three languages with ANSI format in Chinese OS, but if I want to load this script to database server installed on English OS via ISQLplus, the Chinese characters will not be displayed normally too.
    PS:
    So, I think this is not only related with Oracle but also the Windows OS, it is hard to create one file with ANSI format that can be displayed normally in different platforms.
    Thank you all the same,
    Spark

  • Requesting guidance on how best to deal with removal of CreateElementSteps for tables when option to 'script validation for new constraints' is enabled during schema compare

    I have a DeploymentPlanModifer subclass that is responsible for removing certain tables from a deployment plan under specific conditions. It is relatively trivial to find the
    CreateElementSteps I need and subsequently remove them via
    DeploymentPlanModifier.Remove(), but...
    ... if in my comparison I have enabled the 'Script validation for new constraints' option, the deployment plan will contain a
    DeploymentScriptDomStep with a Batch containing AlterTableConstraintModificationStatements for tables with foreign key constraints. My problem starts here - there will be an orphaned
    AlterTableConstraintModificationStatement for each of the tables that I removed. Obviously, execution of the generated script comes to a grinding halt when asking SQL Server to to alter a table that is never created.
    I'm able to get around this by digging around in the aforementioned batches and removing the orphaned alter statements, but this seems really hacky, which makes me think I'm missing the proper way of dealing with this.
    So... if anyone is aware of a more correct way of avoiding this problem, I would really appreciate finding out more about it.
    Thanks in advance for any help. :-)

    Hi Greg. Unfortunately there is not an easy solution here. Walking the deployment model, spotting potential issues and excluding them really is what you have as an option here. The alternative is to pre-process the dacpac to have it in the form you want,
    but I'm not sure if this is an option in your case and it also has limitations.

  • ITunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?

    iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved?  What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
    Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

    Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
    9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
    I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
    with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
    policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
    When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
    work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
    an unknown domain.
    I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
    root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
    then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
    OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
    OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
    OK: Policy file accepted:
    https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
    Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
    seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
    cause any problems, but see
    http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
    for an explanation.
    Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
    xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
    Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
    requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
    lack of policy file permissions.
    Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
    anyway.
    PS: I found the XML schema files here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
    and the socket policy schema:
    http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
    UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
    example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
    and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
    the IMAP server.
