What's needed for a PDF processing module for InDesign Server?

Hello,
After digging through lots of documentation and whitepapers, I am still puzzled about what would be an efficient way to implement a software module that handles some specific processing tasks of PDF output (automatically generated in InDesign Server and targeted for various types of print configurations from small-run LFP up to very high volume commercial printing).
We have a working standalone script that uses Acrobat's preflight and correction functions, and now we would like to port and integrate this into a server-based workflow. Apparently, there is no Acrobat Server product available. Distiller Server does exist, but seems to be limited to converting PostScript to PDF without the PDF-to-PDF processing features we need. Some of the functionality that is typically found in RIPs (e.g. converting colours to a preset output intent with highly configurable options [for pixel/vector elements, black and spot colour ink issues etc.] and flattening native transparency) could probably be implemented using the Adobe PDF Print Engine, but this seems a bit overkill and would probably require extensive programming from scratch. I suspect there should be a smarter way to use existing software – but which? I am not yet familiar with InDesign Server; does its SDK permit full access to the same parts/functions of the PDF library that Acrobat uses for its preflight and correction features?
Any help is welcome.
Eric

  • Need Help in Creating adapter module for SFTP Sender in NWDS

    Hi experts,
    I have a scenario where i should write an adapter module for SFTP sender in NWDS.. need your help in achieving this..

    Hello,
    >>i have followed the procedure of FTP but, adapter is not picking the file
    Make sure u have written proper expression to pick file.
    >>do we have any different adapter parameters for SFTP... the input file is .csv..
    I don't think there are any specific parameters needed for SFTP (but in case u are reading file name in AM then u might have to adjust SFTP namespace)

  • What ports need to be open on Fw for Waas Communication--Urgent

                       Hi All,
    This product is new to need your help in configuring this. I am explaining the architecture below:-
    We have a requirement to use WAVE-594-K9 Software Release 5.3.1 and in our Manila location and it will not talk to Waas central Manager in our client location instead client has installed one same model Wave-594 in PHX.
    So now client has said it will only be used for caching contents and not for optimizing, they have some video training on web which will be passed through this wave and for making them highly/fastly available to agents they want to use this.
    We have installed one Wave in Manila in application-accelerator mode and using PBR to redirect the desired traffic via Wave. As per our client Manila Wave will talk to PHX wave and PHX wave will get registered to Waas Manager in client network.
    We have firewall between PHX wave & Manila wave, please let me know do we need to opened tcp/udp ports on FW for opening the communication between these two waves?
    and what else i need to configure on Manila wave?
    This is very urgent quick reply will be highly appreciated!!
    Thanks!!
    Bhisham

    Thanks for the quick reply Kanwal!!
    I checked with my team in PHX and we have Juniper FW in between these two Wave's, so what i understand from the links which you have shared.
    In Manila Wave i need to configure that in Directed Mode and udp port 4050 needs to be opened bi-directionally on Juniper FW between IPs configured on wave devices.
    In Manila we have 10.111.x.189 (Virtual-Blade IP) & 10.111.x.190 IPs & in PHX we 63.149.23.x & 63.149.23.x (VB) so from both IPs we required to open udp 4050 bi-directionally? Want to be sure before raising any request :-)
    In PHX wave i am not sure whether we can configure that in directed mode and if it’s not then also it will work by opening port 4050 on FW Right?
    In last our client was saying that Manila Wave will only be used as cache engine (VB is configured as content-engine) and it will download contents from PHX Wave (which is registered to CM at client side), what does it mean and do i need to do any special config on wave to achieve this?
    I am very new to this device and lot of research on net confused me a lot, please don’t mind!!
    Will wait for your reply then only i will raise request with FWteam.
    Thanks,
    Bhisham

  • Help needed with Bridge PDF Output Module

    Hi:
    I posted this in the Photoshop forum but got no replies except to try here. I created a PDF presentation with 34 jpg images which I want to send to a publisher by using the PDF output module in Bridge. the images have the sRGB color profile embedded in them and the colors look vibrant when the jpgs are viewed in CS 4. However the PDF that opens in Adobe Reader shows the colors looking very dull. Is there a way to view the PDF in CS 4 or a way to make them appear as they should in Adobe Reader? Maybe Adobe Reader has no color management capabilities, I don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Need help to get processing log for mass invoice output

    Hi Experts,
    I have one requirement,

I want to capture all the invoices, customers, medium and error text and want to display as a report.
    We can see the processing log for a single invoice in VBFA transaction but I want to display one consolidated list where the user can see all the error log records at one place.
    I know some tables where we can see some data in NAST, NACH but I would be greatful to you if you provide some more information about this.

  • Script for Place PDF file into a InDesign file

    Hi everyone, i need to import a PDF file into a InDesign document and in order to do this i used scripts found over  the net (e.g. Zanelli's script ecc.) but i tried this solution:

        app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
        var myDocument, myPage;
        if(app.documents.length != 0){

             myData[2].remove();  
    what i would is, before the script place every single page of PDF file in the document, determine if the same page of the Pdf file is vertical or horizontal, to make the right section for the page.
    Is it possible?
    Thank you

  • Required JAR's for developing custom adapter modules for PI 7.31 SP 09

    Hello experts,
    I have a new development wherein i have to consume .xlsx files in PI 7.31
    i have gone through a lot of blogs but did not find any relevant JAR's specially for PI 7.31, I am planning  to go for custom module development for conversion of .xlsx file into xml
    so need your help for finding the JAR's for PI 7.31 and also some custom JAVA source code for conversion of excel spreadsheet into XML.
    Regards,
    Sushant.Shinde

    Hi sushant,
    The module key seems correct ffor you. But the blog you shared is cozy. I developed 4 adapter modules using a document. Please refer that.
    And NWDS EHP1 is available you can use that to be perfectly sure on compatibility.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0b39e65-981e-2b10-1c9c-fc3f8e6747fa?overridelayout=true
    use the above document to verify the steps you followed-
    Please provide following screenshots
    NWA->configuration->infrastructure->Application Modules-> and search for *xlmodule*
    if you find your module then click on it and at the bottom there will be a window with JNDI Name. Share that JNDI name and use that JNDI name in your Module. (localejbs/JNDIName).
    Also go to NWA->TroubleShooting-> JNDI Browser and see where is your Adapter module situated. I mean under which directory. Either directly inside root/localejbs/ or root/localejbs/sap.com.
    Please verify your steps according to that and redeploy and share result.
    and Go to NWA- Site Map-> find Start & Stop
    In that go to Java Applicaitons Tab and search for your module. It must be started. If it is stopped try starting it.
