App.Open (file) fails even with absolute path.

• CC of InDesign Server 2014 app.open (file) does not exist.

  I have implemented CC InDesign Server on a Windows Server 2008 R2 trial 2014 and try to run a simple script that converts an idml to PDF format.

  Here is the code

  document = app.open(File("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\presentation\Documents\Resumes.idml"));
  document.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File ("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\presentation\Documents\file.pdf"));
  document.close();
  

  I am running the script in ExtendScript Toolkit CC and it impedes every time on the first line, the open() method.

  I checked the path and permissions are fine as the other scripts work that write output, like this.

  //HelloWorld.jsx
  //Create a new document.
  var myDocument = app.documents.add();
  //Get a reference to the first page.
  var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);
  //Create a text frame.
  var myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add();
  //Specify the size and shape of the text frame.
  myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p0", "6p0", "18p0", "18p0"];
  //Enter text in the text frame.
  myTextFrame.contents = "Hello World!";
  //Save the document (fill in a valid file path).
  myDocument.save(new File("/c/HelloWorld.indd"));
  //Close the document.
  app.documents.item(0).close();
  

  No problem at all with this script.

  Help, please!

  Figured it out. App.open path () needs------instead of \.

• cannot open files or programs with icons

  Whenever I try to open files by using icons or shortcuts, I get the following message: System call failed. It has a title of explorer.exe on the box. I can't even get into Control Panel

  Hi Steve,.

  If you are using Vista, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations.  Once done, do the same for LNK entry.  That should restore your programs.  If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.

• Opening files Illustrator draw with Indesign?

• Cannot open file Captivate 4 with Captivate 8 program

  Hello

  I can't open the Captivate 4 with Captivate 8 program file.

  I tried to open some projects I created with Captivate 4, but without success...

  So much has changed between the versions. You need an intermediary

  version 5 or 5.5. But even in this case I recommend you start from

  scratch, because the amendment process would take probably more time than

  recreating.

• Open file failed with webstart unsigned application

  Hello
  
  Is it possible to open a document in the base application registered user (on the operating system) to an unsigned Java webstart application?
  I don't mind if the user receives a warning, but the only thing I found was the ability to save a file (also with a warning to the user), but I would like to automatically open the document generated by the webstart application in the default application on the operating system that is recorded for the file association. In this case, either a file *.xml or *.xlsx (Excel/OpenOffice)
  
  Any ideas?

  You can use BasicService.showDocument () to do this, but you will get a white windows open in the default browser.

• Cannot open files exe, even in safe mode

  My computer worked fine until last night. When I went today to my Ad-Aware Pro detected several attempts to change the registry. I wasn't sure what they were thus blocked. Now part of Ad-Aware Ad-Watch will not load and I can't open any .exe files at all, he said that there is no program associated with this action and to create in folder options. My Windows Explorer seems to be missing (the icon that launches in any case), and system restore no longer works (don't get the same message - no program etc...). I downloaded several anti-spyware scanners, but I can't run these either! When I restarted after having blocked attempts suspicious to change the registry, he stopped on the Welcome screen with a dialog box that has two small black lines in it, a close button (which does not), and an ok button. The boot process will not continue unless you click ok. It does now every time you start. Also, I booted in safe mode but nothing works, there either and I can't update my AV. in 'connect to the server' I tried the run box on the start menu to get the command prompt and that does not work either, I get the same message on there is no program etc... For a few icons I click that actually do something, they are all open Ad-Aware. It's my fault - probably the first time, he asked me to associate an icon with a program, I chose to apply it to all the files like this. Don't you think it's a virus?

  I have tried everything that suggests even joined a malware forum suggested, all to nothing done, because my system doesn't let me exercise one or more of the actions/suggestions/software. I'm admitting defeat guy - I'm going to rebuild, there is too much error different messages/things that aren't now doesn't work does not correctly that even if I fail to rid the system of the Malware, I'll probably still do more the top of page installation of XP to fix things. I don't have the patience.

  Thanks for everything and I'm sorry if you think I've wasted your time.

• Cannot open file in CS4 with plugins?

  Hi, hoping someone can help.

  I try to open an Indesign file (I think it's a CS3 file) with CS4, but get this message:

  Could not open the file

  Please update your plug-ins their versions the latest, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.

  It lists about 15 plugins that are 'missing ';

  for example:

  PDF. InDesignPlugin

  FontManager

  Group

  Generic

  Table model

  etc etc.

  Any ideas how to get around this so I can work on the doc?

  See you soon

  This error message means that you are trying to open a file that is newer than your copy of InDesign. So the file should almost be a CS5 file. Impossible to open a CS5 CS4; you have to open in CS5 and export a file IDML, you can then open in CS4.

  There is an element of additional confusion here:

  InDesign CS4 is actually 6 InDesign when you click Help-> about

  InDesign CS2 is actually InDesign 4 when you click Help-> about

  and so on

  However, it is not possible to see this error message when you open an older InDesign file in a more recent program.

• Cannot open files Photoshop CS4 with Photoshop 7

  Hi - I would be very grateful if someone has solved this problem before and can help me.

  I try to send a relatively small (5 MB) file CMYK in Photoshop in layers of my version (CS4) to someone who is still using Photoshop 7, but they are totally unable to open it. I saved using "Maximize compatibility" and there are just 3 layers without layer fancy, no set of layer, effects, and each layer has a transparent background. Whenever someone tries to open it (via file-> open), their Photoshop crashes and to force quit. It will open in Graphic Converter but it is then saved as a flattened, image is not that good. I'm at my wits end what to do to get this to open in the PS7 - someone has any ideas?

  I'm using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac Pro, OS X 10.6.3; they use Photoshop 7 on a G4 867 DP, OS X 10.4.11.

  Thank you very much.

  Deb.

  If someone else should encounter this kind of problem, here's the scoop:

  This is a bug in the analysis of metadata in Photoshop 7 and CS/8 (version 3-6 no problem, version 9-12 without problem).  It is caused by the metadata of the history of the file, perhaps due to the length of history, perhaps because the bits of history about InDesign.  I don't have a Mac OS 10.1 available in the public system for Photoshop 7 debug more, so I can't be positive about the exact cause.  But we know that Photoshop CS2 and later works just fine.

  If you wait 30 minutes, Photoshop 7 end by to load the file.  But that hurts productivity.

  The metadata of the history can easily be removed in Photoshop (or ImageReady, Fireworks, etc.).  But if you copy layers to a new document, the metadata of the history will not be postponed.  Save the copy, and the copy will work fine Photoshop 7 and CS/8.

• Cannot close tab groups. Close button fails even with an empty window.

  When I create groups of tabs, I can't close. The red X close tab group button does not work. I can resize, add or remove sites, or even remove all sites. But I can't get the button close the tab of the function group.

  Thanks for the tips. I traced the problem to theme Noia 4 v 1.6.7. I don't know how to advise developer or where else to post this information. But in any case, I will delete it.

  well a little update!
  Thanks Davide!

  It works > just, I was a little to the beginner to interpret correctly the answer Davide.

  So I put these codes in the main.js file in the JS folder:

  (function () {
      'use strict';
      var csInterface = new CSInterface();
      function init() {
  
          themeManager.init();
  
          $("#something_1").click(function () {
    var csInterface = new CSInterface();
    var extensionPath = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION);
    var imagePath = extensionPath + "/image/samplepicture.jpg";
    csInterface.evalScript("openFile('" + imagePath + "')");
          });
      }
      init();
  }());
  

  And it's the hostscript.jsx inside the JSX file:

  function openFile(imagePath) {
  app.open(File(imagePath));
  }
  

  And the index.html file call it like this:

  Button text
