Trouble copying a large number of objects using Acrobat X

Acrobat X is many times slower than Acrobat 9 when copying a large number of objects in a PDF.  What used to take one second in Acrobat 9, now takes upwards of 45 seconds or longer in Acrobat X and often causes the application to crash.  I am using 10.2.1 on OS X 10.6.8.  Has anyone else experienced this performace difference or have any solutions?  Any thoughts on the subject would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

Since you do not want to crop your images to a square 1:1 aspect ratio changing the canvas to be square will not make your images square they will retain their Aspect Ratio and  image size will be changer to fit within your 1020 px square. There will be a border or borders on a side or two borders on opposite sides.   You do not need a script because Photoshop ships with a Plug-in script to be used in Actions.   What is good about Plugins is the support Actions.  When you record the action the plug-in during action recording records the setting you use in its dialog into  the actions step.  When the Action is played the Plug-in use the recorded setting an bypasses displaying its dialog. So the Action can be Batch.  The Action you would record would have two  Steps.   Step 1  menu File>Automate>Fit Image... in the Fit Image dialog enter 1020 in the width and height  fields.  Step 2 Canvas size enter 1020 pixels in width and height  not relative leave the anchor point centered it you want even borders on two sides set color to white in the canvas size dialog. You can batch the action.
The above script will also work. Its squares the document then re-sizes to 1020x1020  the action re-sizes the image to fit with in an area 1020 x 1020 then add any missing canvas. The script like the action only process one image so it would also need to be batched. Record the script into and action and batch the action. As the author wrote. The script re size canvas did not specify an anchor point so the default center anchor point is uses  like the action canvas will be added to two sides.

  • How to copy very large number of files from one drive to another???

    I'm a fairly experienced Mac user for serveral years but this problem really has me stumped.
    I'm trying to copy or move 152,000 files from one external drive to another drive. I can highlight (Cmd - A) all the files on the first drive and drag them to the second drive but Finder always shows 32,768 files being copied no matter what I try.
    Any and all suggestions on how to move/copy a large number of files from one external drive to another are greatefully appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Mack

    I would use the command line tool rsync.
    For instance with: rsync -av source-dir destination-dir
    -a The files are transferred in "archive" mode, which ensures that symbolic links, devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships, etc. are preserved in the transfer.
    -v Verbose, so you see the progress.
    Rsync is fast and really, really powerful and many times used in shell scripts and the like to automatically backup and/or sync stuff. Google a bit for more info.

  • Rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using Acrobat SDK DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard()

    I am trying to find whether each page in PDF document is color or monochrome.
    For doing this I am rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using Acrobat SDK DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard()
    Once after rendering the PDF page, I am using GetPixel() to read each pixel value to decide about color or Monochrome.
    Problem:
    When I read the pixel to decide about the page color or monochorme, in some XP machines it is showing the PDF page as color and in some PC it is showing it as Monochrome.  Color quality in both the system is kept as 32 Bit.
    After this I tried copying the PDF page directly into clipboard and then take the clipboard image to decide about color and monochorme, but even this also behaves in the similar way.
    Question:
    Why rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard() is behaving differently in each machines.
    If required I will send my sample project.
    With regards,
    Rajeshrv.

    In SDK documentation, there is no methods are defined for getting the color of the page.  In color spaces and color values, we can set the color for drawing operations. A method AVPageViewSetColor is used for setting the color. 
    But there is no methods defined for getting the color in the page.  Please let me know , is there any alternative way.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Trouble loading a large number of csv files

    Hi All,
    I am having an issue loading a large number of csv files into my LabVIEW program. I have attached a png of the simplified code for the load sequence alone.
    What I want to do is load data from 5000 laser beam profiles, so 5000 csv files (68x68 elements), and then carry out some data analysis. However, the program will only ever load 2117 files, and I get no error messages. I have also tried, initially loading a single file, selecting a crop area - say 30x30 elements - and then loading the rest of the files cropped to these dimensions, but I still only get 2117 files.
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated,

    How many elements are in the array of paths (your size(s) indicator) ?
    I suspect that the open file is somewhat limited to a certain number.
    You could also select a certain folder and use 'List Folder' to get a list of files and load those.
    Your data set is 170 MB, not really asthounising, however you should whatc your programming to prevent data-doublures.

  • Canvas Resize to Square for a large number of images using script. E.g. image is currently 1020 x 600, I would like to change this to 1020 x 600. PLEASE HELP

    Hi All,
    I have a large number of images that I need to resize the canvas sizes to a square, the images are currently in different sizes. For example, if an image is 1020 x 600 I would like to change the canvas to 1020 x 1020 so that the image becomes a square. I am using CS3 and all the images are jpeg's. I have done research on scripts but the ones I have tried have not worked. Please help.

  • How to upload a large number of object states?

    Hello,
    We are working on a quiz/poll app and have 582 object states in one page. The file doesn’t respond while uploading and InDesign doesn’t react anymore. There are several button and sound actions inside the states. Does this mean there is a limit to the number of object states? Or does anybody know another solution to upload this document?
    Cheers,
    Edward van Eck

    You should re-design your page to reduce (drastically) the number of object states. There's no way that many object states will render well on mobile devices with limited memory.

  • How can I edit large amount of data using Acrobat X Pro

    Hello all,
    I need to edit a catalog that contains large amount of data - mainly the product price. Currently I can only export the document into excel file and then paste the new price onto the catalog using Acrobat X Pro one by one, which is extremely time-consuming. I am sure there's a better way to make this faster while keeping the accuracy of the data. Thanks a lot in advance if any one's able to help! 

    Hi Chauhan,
    Yes I am able to edit text/image via tool box, but the thing is the catalog contains more than 20,000 price data and all I can do is deleteing the orginal price info from catalog and replace it with the revised data from excel. Repeating this process over 20,000 times would be a waste of time and manpower... Not sure if I make my situation clear enough? Pls just ask away, I really hope to sort it out, Thanks! 

  • Querying for large number of objects... searchspec limitation

    As part of a product i'm developing i may come across a scenario where i need to query for 100+ specific objects based on ids.
    I know the query input for WS 2.0 has a "searchspec" string field, but based on the sheer number of specific objects i need to query for i'm afraid the string may eventually get too large.
    Is there a way around this? Can i send multiple individual queries in a batch request? Can i add more than one search object to a single query page request? Anything?
    Thanks!
    -Kevin

    A few options available using the WS v2.0 Query methods:
    1. Use Arguments like page size and startrownumber arguments. This will allow you to specify the pagesize of the recordset to be returned and also the starting row number.
    2. The searchspec is a powerful argument and it supports a set of binary and unary operators. Refer the Ondemand user guide for a more complete set of operators supported by searchspec. To narrow the results of your query, you could use the "AND" operator between 2 or more fields in your object query.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I copy a large number of contacts into a list in the address book?

    I want to send a message to a large fraction of the people in my address book. How do I copy their addresses into a new list without doing it by hand?

    Thanks for your answer. It works very poorly. I have tried a number of permutations, and each one fails in some way. If I try to copy ten names, it may just write the first few. if I highlight all the names in the source book, then the list name doesn't highlight when I move my cursor over it - only the other address books do that. I got the closest to success by exporting my entire source address book to a text file, removing the unwanted names by hand, and then importing only a few fields to a new address book - name and email address. When I highlight all the entries in this new address book and drag them to the target list, it copies MOST but not all of the entries. I have never seen drag and drop work so poorly. Any ideas?

  • How do I process a large number of rows using ADO?

    I need to iterate through a table with about 12 million records and process each row individually.    The project I'm doing cannot be resolved with a simple UPDATE statement.
    My concern is that when I perform the initial query that so much data will be returned that I'll simply crash.
    Ideally I would get to a row, perform my operation, then go to the next row ... and so on and so on.
    I am using ADO / C++

    I suggest you simply use the default fast-forward read-only (firehose) cursor to read the data. This will stream data from SQL Server to your application and client memory usage will be limited to the internal API buffers without resorting to paging. 
    I ran a quick test of this technique using ADO classic and the C# code below and it ran in under 3 minutes (35 seconds without the file processing) on my Surface Pro against a remote SQL Server.  I would expect C++ to be a significantly faster
    since it won't incur the COM interop penalty.  The same test with SqlClient ran in under 10 seconds.
    static void test()
    var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff"));
    object recordCount;
    var adoConnection = new ADODB.Connection();
    adoConnection.Open(@"Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Server=serverName;Database=MarketData;Integrated Security=SSPI");
    var outfile = new StreamWriter(@"C:\temp\MarketData.txt");
    var adoRs = adoConnection.Execute("SELECT TOP(1200000) Symbol, TradeTimestamp, HighPrice, LowPrice, OpenPrice, ClosePrice, Volume FROM dbo.OneMinuteQuote;", out recordCount);
    while(!adoRs.EOF)
    outfile.WriteLine("{0},{1},{2},{3},{4},{5},",
    (string)adoRs.Fields[0].Value.ToString(),
    ((DateTime)adoRs.Fields[1].Value).ToString(),
    ((Decimal)adoRs.Fields[2].Value).ToString(),
    ((Decimal)adoRs.Fields[3].Value).ToString(),
    ((Decimal)adoRs.Fields[4].Value).ToString(),
    ((Decimal)adoRs.Fields[5].Value).ToString());
    adoRs.MoveNext();
    adoRs.Close();
    adoConnection.Close();
    outfile.Close();
    sw.Stop();
    Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff"));

  • Processing of large number of records using JDBC Sender Channel

    Hi experts,
    We have a JDBC-File scenario where in the tables contain about 500K records on an average.
    I used multimapping to generate a flat file for every 10K. The problem is ..when I start the JDBC Sender CC, the memory goes up and the J2EE engine restarts. In the Sender CC, I gave the Disconnect from the database option too. The query is SELECT * from TABLE and the Update statement is <TEST>. Please help me out how to solve this.
    Regards.

    Hi
    Use the below query,
    // Oracle
    SELECT Statement :      select colname from tblname where rownum<=1000 ;
    // MSSQL
    select top 1000 colname from tblname
    Regards

  • Problems syncing large number of photos while choosing all photos option

    I have 17,800 photos and have experienced problems with trying to sync in iTunes since release day 1.
    If I choose to sync using the all photos option, the iPad will reboot during synch and appears to finish. Ipad will become unresponsive and hang with the apple logo on screen and a hard reset will then be required.
    Then when trying to launch photo app in iPad it displays "updating library" for a minute or 2 and then photo app crashes back to home screen.
    Have tried many options in trying to solve this including restore iPad software, deleting photo cache in iTunes, rebuilding iTunes library, etc.
    Only solution I have found was to break down my 17,800 photos into events and choose to synch events instead of the all photos option and that works, getting all 17,800 photos into iPad. Photos take about 5.8 gb of storage.
    There is definitely a problem with iTunes here in synching large number of photos using the all photos option and I have reported this to AppleCare support via two support calls. There does not appear to be a awareness of this issue in tech supports knowledge base and I am surprised to that there are not a large number of incidents reported as there are a few discussions started here on the issues of photo sync.
    Hopefully this post will help others with the same issue.

    Solved problem of synching iPad with desktop containing large photo library (20,000 photos): In summary, solution was to rename, copy and live iPHoto Library to XHD and reduce size of library on home (desktop) drive.
    In the home directory, rename "iPhoto Library" to "iPhoto Global" (or any other name you want), and copy into an external hard drive via simple drag and drop method.
    Then, go back to the newly renamed iPhoto Global and rename it again, to iPhoto 2010. Now, open iPhoto by holding down the Alt/Option key and opening iPhoto. This provides option to choose library iPhoto 2010. Open the library, and eliminate every photo before 2010. This got us down to a few thousand photos and a much smaller library. Synch this smaller library with the iPad.
    Finally, I suggest downloading a program "iPhoto Library Manager" and using this to organize and access the two libraries you now have (which could be 2, 10 or however many different libraries you want to use.) The iPhoto program doesn't want you to naturally have more than one library, but a download called iPhoto Library Manager allows user to segregate libraries for different purposes (eg. personal, work, 2008, 2009, etc.). Google iPhoto Library Manager, download, and look for links to video tutorials which were very helpful.
    I did not experience any problems w/ iPhoto sequencing so can't address that concern.
    Good luck!
