Cleanup script

Hi all

Often, we translate indesign files using a cat tool to open the idml file. But most of the InDesign files that are sent to us was created by people who take a great many short cuts to get things to fit, that might be good for them but not for us.

We need a script that affect all kerning 0 or a constant value throughout a document, delete all text stretched and change something with true uppercase all THE CORKS.

There is a little more things to do to clean it upward which can take a few hours for a large document so it would be good that he had a script that could do or if anyone knows how to create one for us, we would be happy to work with you to create.

Here is a new version:

const kerningConstant = 0;
var doc = app.activeDocument,
stories = doc.stories,
story, text, s, t;

for (var s = 0; s < stories.length; s++) {
     story = stories[s];
     for (var t = 0; t < story.texts.length; t++) {
          text = story.texts[t];
          text.kerningValue = kerningConstant;
          text.verticalScale = 100;
          text.horizontalScale = 100;
          ChangeCase(text);
     }
}

function ChangeCase(text) {
     var i, found;
     if (text.contents != "") {
          app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
          app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+";
          app.findGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.ALL_CAPS;
          var found = text.findGrep();
          if (found.length > 1) {
               for (i = 0; i < found.length; i++) {
                    // $.writeln( i + " - " + found[i].constructor.name + "/"+ found[i].contents );
                    found[i].changecase(ChangecaseMode.UPPERCASE);
               }
               app.changeGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.NORMAL;
               text.changeGrep();
          }
     }
}

  • 12.2.4 WebADI - Integrator custom fails to cleanup script is triggered when the import returns the error lines

    Hi, hoping for help because it is not very useful detailed documentation on this topic here.

    I built a custom WebADI that uses custom procedures to validate and download the date in a custom table.  I then called an importer script that checks the balance of files (and other things) and mark the lines that do not reach a State of error.  I also managed to get these errors to be selected by the definition of error line and message error search section and everything is right with the world.

    Except that when imported and reports to hide the sad faces appear in the worksheet, I expect the cleanup script then learn to delete the records so that when the errors are corrected in the spreadsheet we don't get the lines in double... and is not.  No amount of tweaking, etc. application errors will result in cleaning the fire.

    Can someone tell me what I need to import of PL/SQL program to do when it detects a mistake for execution of the cleaning procedure?

    Thanks in advance

    Mike

    IT FIXED myself.

    The downloaded must be a function and return an error message of VARCHAR2.  If you return NULL - then the cleaning is not called as expected. If you return to any string, then cleanup is called.

  • Name of file cleanup script

    We have been going through old projects at work, and some projects still use old file naming conventions that are more in use.  Is it possible to have a script pop up a text input field where the user can enter the redundant part of a file name, and then store it in a variable that will be used to remove the redundant data to the file name before you save the file again?

    For example: say I have a bunch of textures of metal, fittings of different types (such as brushed, shiny, etc.).  The "redundant" file name would be "metal_trim_brushed", "metal_trim_gloss", etc., or maybe another category and subcategory (outside metal_trim_) for another part of the project.  How the script would ask the redundant part (a text input where the user can enter "metal_trim_" or whatever are redundant data) and then to remove text from file name before you save it?  Any help would be appreciated.

  • uninstalling QuickTime on several clients with several versions

    Hello

    our client has launched the warning of security for Apple Quicktime for windows (Cert - 2)

    You need to uninstall all Quicktime players on all the clients (approx. 55,000).

    Unfortunately, there are several versions installed on the clients.

    We need a complete uninstall routine the correlation between the Apple Quicktime
    The version and the GUID that is registered in the register.

    for example

    Version

    Where can I get a list of this GUID in correlation with that identify the versions installed?

    1. 1.0.0

    We need this installed quicktime versions urgent

    Thank you

    Jürgen

    I am in the same situation and Apple's KB on uninstalling QuickTime is pretty useless in a corporate environment.

    Apple should really get a cleanup script who will just look for an uninstall all QuickTime on a Windows machine.  That would be the best solution because they support is the product.

  • Appeal of a trigger

    Hello

    I would like to know how to call a procedure of a trigger.

    I have included a script to create the objects for my problem.

    In the trigger named TABLE_A_BI , I noticed the lines that do not work for me.

    The lines look like this (it doesn't).

    --  :NEW.COL_A_DATE :=

-- CALL TEST_PKG.INSERT_RECHECK_RECORD_PRC (:NEW.ID);

    The script will set the scene for the following to be run (it runs successfully);

    I think I did that obviously it is.

    I'm trying to call a procedure from a trigger. I'm not having any success in getting this work.

    The trigger performs the following:

    When a column in the Table_A ("COL_A_DATE") is inserted or updated it raises an event that inserts a duplicate TABLE_B and updates the record first to TABLE_B with SYS_RECHECK_CREATED = 'YES '.

    The lines below work when executing the procedure in a sql window, so for me

    call a procedure/function of a trigger in the same way you call it anywhere else

    do not work.

    OK - Thanks for the extra info.

    A trigger is PL/SQL code. You call a procedure in the SAME WAY in PL/SQL if you are using a trigger or not. Just use the name of the procedure and pass arguments.,.

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/AppDev.111/b28370/subprograms.htm#CHDBEJGF

    Subroutine calls

    A subroutine call has this form:

    subprogram_name [ (parameter [, parameter]... ) ]

    A procedure call is a PL/SQL statement. For example:

    raise_salary(employee_id, amount);

    A function call is part of an expression. For example:

    IF salary_ok(new_salary, new_title) THEN ...

    This article from doc for details and includes the example code

    When a column in the Table_A ("COL_A_DATE") is inserted or updated it raises an event that inserts a duplicate TABLE_B and updates the record first to TABLE_B with SYS_RECHECK_CREATED = 'YES '.

    You probably don't want to go, but this process will NOT scale and is likely to have performance problems, but also problems of consistency of the data as well.

    Oracle is a multiuser database which means another user MAY BE editing the same table at the same time as you.

    A trigger is part of a transaction and delivers NO validations. And a trigger BEFORE UPDATE FOR EACH ROW can often get restored and restarted by Oracle. He might even get thousands of times, restarted.

    So whatever data your trigger shown in table B at first may be totally different if the trigger is restarted.

    Yes - I know - you probably won't hear how this architecture is, but it is BAD.

  • First error can not Open sequence and CC presets missing

    I am having some problems with the first.

    I was working on a project which has been very well for awhile, but now when I try to open it, first gives the error:

    "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No preview of the sequence is preset file or codec might be associated with this type of sequence. »

    In addition, in any project when I create a new sequence, there no useful presets. I found the sequence presets folder and they are all there, but they don't show up in the first.

    Also, when I import AVCHD. The MTS files, I get video but no audio, while they play fine in VLC

    I've tried but alternatives that solve nothing:

    1 disconnect, restart first, sign

    2 re-create the Adobe Premiere Pro preferences and the plugin cache. (using the shift/option drop-down list)

    3 uninstall first, reboot, run cleaner script, restart, reinstall the first

    4 uninstall creation, execution script cleaner, restart, reboot, create a new user account, install the first in this user account instead of the original account

    I am aware of this page: http://helpx.Adobe.com/Premiere-Pro/KB/features-presets-missing-Premiere-Pro.html

    and this page: http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/CS5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

    A few pages I met suggested that executing the script cleaner several times, but you can really run only one time, since after the first cleaning, when you run it again once nothing appears on the list to be cleaned.  There are still remnants of things Adobe has left on my machine not cleaned by the cleaner script that I need to manually remove?

    If someone has had this problem but had no one of the proposed solutions adobe work for them and subsequently corrected this?

    It is Adobe first CC 2014.  I'm under it on a Mac Book Pro, which is less than a year, OSX 10.9.5 w / 16 GB memory running.

    It's UNBELIEVABLY FRUSTRANT.  I spent almost all day this problem and all I want to do is change my video. A quick search of the internet shows that I am far from alone in having this problem. In addition, relocation is not trivial because the speed of download where I am is slow.

    Dave

    Well, it took a long time, but I finally got it working properly.  All codecs and presets are, I can import AVCHD files correctly with audio and the project that I could not open before now opens very well, so it turns out not to make a corrupt project. It seems that the problem was that the script cleaner does not clean actually all it should be, and I had to do it all manually.

    I uninstalled all the software Adobe Creative Cloud, rebooted, run the CC cleanup script and restarted again.

    So I uninstalled Flash and all other Adobe software, I got on my machine.

    Then I used the app to find any file to find all the references on my Mac for any file with "adobe" in the name - including system files - and deleted and empty the trash.

    The only things of Adobe, I have left on my machine were the Adobe RGB color profile and all Adobe fonts, I had.

    Empty the trash again, reset again.

    Then, I used the CC Setup program to install the first and only first (I was not yet installed Adobe Media Encoder) because I didn't want to spend all this time download only to fail again on me.

    And finally it worked. Then I went back and installed Media Encoder, which does not break something, then I went back and installed the other CC apps I wanted on my machine and things are finally working.

    The "cleaner" script lets a files related to LOT of creative cloud on your machine, which, in my opinion, means that this isn't a very effective "cleaner".  He seems to want to leave a lot of preferences and files other files which I don't know the purpose (but I deleted them anyway).  It should at least be a checkbox somewhere on the vacuum cleaner that says "wipe absolutely everything about Adobe off my machine.

    Thanks again for your suggestions, Neil.

  • Yet CS6 cannot run in serialized Mode Non-redevance

    I had a lot of problems to make Encore CS6 runs correctly.


    I have a subscription to creative cloud.

    I downloaded Premiere Pro. First is installed as well as yet.

    When I opened again for the first time, everything works fine. Once I got close and try to open it again, I get an error message that says:

    "Adobe CS6 still cannot operate in serialized mode non-redevance. The application must be serialized with a royalty bearing serial number.

    After that, another window opens asking me to enter a serial number. As I am a subscriber of creative cloud, that I don't have a serial number to get in here. Adobe does not provide one for users of creative Cloud.

    (I've included screenshots of these posts below).


    I have lived many messages from the forum and even tried to contact Adobe, but no one has any solution to this. The customer service is almost non-existent.


    Here's what I 'think' is happening.

    Initially, I downloaded and tried to run again as a trial. Later, I decided to subscribe via Creative Cloud. I deleted again and first since my mac (but has not used the "uninstall" option, because I didn't know that existed, I just deleted all the files). I downloaded then first again as shown in creative cloud. I guess there could be a kind of hidden file or key that says not to run without a serial number. How to remove this file/key or even if that's the problem I have no idea.

    I hope someone here can help you!

    My only solution at the moment whenever I have to use again is to uninstall and reinstall. This is very far from ideal!

    Help!

    Hi jaypurcell,

    I think that you are facing this problem because you do not uninstall the earlier version properly. First uninstall your current version and then try to clean your machine to remove all traces of previous installation using the cleanup scripts posted by Adobe here - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

    and then install again yet.

  • Help necessary after CS4 CS3 installation uninstall problem

    Hello

    I recently upgraded my computer from Vista to Win7, so I spent a lot of time to update applications.  I realized my CS2 wouldn't work and I was told that I had to at least get CS3.  I bought the CS3 and installed on my two new Win7 machines without problem.  I then discovered that CS3 is no longer supported by Adobe, so I need to get CS4 or CS5. I installed CS4 trail and decided for now back to CS3.  I had not uninstalled CS3, but was disabled, not knowing if CS4 would no longer write it or if the two can co-exist.  uninstalled CS4 via the Control Panel, CS3 re-activated and all was well on both machines.  Then, on my machine main update of Adobe wanted to update a few modules, InDesign and Acrobat Pro.  Things went very well with the update until he asked me my CS4 disc?  I have it mood the second time and fed Alternatively the CS3 and CS4 disc... he let me not put both if I swapped the drives until I was no longer able to lift my arm and when everything is done, the installation failed.

    He left me with no functional InDesign.  To make things worse, activation could not connect to Adobe for some reason any.  I was able to use the phone process to activate products, but now I wanted to try installing CS3, but it wouldn't let me disable due to network issue, and there is no option to disable, internet phone or she to jump.

    I called Adobe and asked for help.  I talked about the problem of turning off for them.  They said to go and Uninstall CS3 and we arrange activation after the re - install.  Knowing that he might take a long time, he said he'd call me back... never did.  I tried to help and were unable to get help.

    What I have now is a CS3 uninstalled that I can't install at all, so I am in worse shape before, when only InDesign did not work.

    I have DW3 on the same computer and it is very well and has been very well throughout the process.

    I need a way to exorcise the PC of all memory of CS3 or CS4 so I can really start from scratch.  Is there a such a "wipe bomb Adobe" I might fall on my registry to really get rid of his insistence on the CS4 install disk need?

    I am convinced that CS4 did not uninstall cleanly, leaving files or settings that still refer to CS4, in conflict with any attempt to update or reinstall the product correctly.  I hope that this happened to someone else and has found a solution, far from rebuild the whole PC.

    Thank you!

  • CS4 does settle?

    So I just ordered the entire suite CS4 student edition and I have my serial codes and is not a problem. What is a problem is that I already had drivers for Illustrator CS4 and Photoshop CS4 in my computer to have trial versions. After the completion of this and before you install all programs in CS4, I deleted them from my computer by dragging to the trash and empty. I then restarted the installation process of CS4 and still, Photoshop and Illustrator are not put into evidence. I don't know what I thought, but I moved and all other installed programs.

    After everything was done, I went back to the disc one to see if I could choose to install Photoshop and Illustrator. No luck, even after restarting my computer.

    So that is where I am currently: no driver for the trial versions of Photoshop and Illustrator CS4, all programs except for these two Photoshop CS3 and CS4 that I received two years ago.

    Can someone help me please?

    Run the cleanup script and remove the entries for CS4. Cleanup script is stored in the: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html , please read the instructions carefully before you try.

    I'm assuming that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Photoshop and Illustrator CS4

  • How to get Premiere Pro CS4 rendering HDV again?

    Embarrassing problem:

    Use PP CS4 (as part of the master collection) for several months, no problem. Details of the system below. This morning, I made a 1 HR 1080i HDV sequences 29.97df (AVCHD, Blu - ray) m4v format. I've done many other makes this same sequence, with no problems (MPEG 2, etc.). Completed successfully rendering. So, I decided that I would study the output and possibly adjust the brightness. I tried to import the PP. any sequence, he showed as a screen orange without video or audio. I assumed that this meant that the PP could not interpret the video rendering, which seemed strange (it seemed to be a reasonable-AVCHD with audio PCM format).

    Like it wasn't a big problem, I simply deleted the imported clip and decided to make an another record in HDV MPEG-2 format. (I have I'm going to do a standard DVD also and wanted images MPEG-2.) I started to export standard (MPEG-2 1 - pass VBR with 384K audio preset, even the one I had used many times before) and nothing happened. Adobe Media Encoder hung on the first image with no progress. I tried to stop the queue and delete current file. SOUL hanging there. I had to use the Task Manager to kill him. I then closed PP and rebooted the system. Open pp with sequence again and I tried export again in the same way. Same results.

    I tried a few times with different preset settings - whenever TEA would hang and he made no progress. Whenever I couldn't cancel, but had to kill using Task Manager.

    Then, I decided to do a new rendering part of the sequence just to see if that would make a difference. I put a small bench and deleted the files of rendering by using the option menu sequence. A red lines as expected. Sequence hit + effects on a work area. Nothing. Render hung with 0.02% full. Tried to cancel. No dice. You have to use the Task Manager to kill PP.

    Tried a bunch of times with different segments of the sequence. Every time I did, I would be cleanly restart the system to ensure that nothing has been left in a strange state.

    If at this point, I could not export or go to MPEG-2 or AVCHD.

    Next: I create a new test project dummy with a film DV, import, apply effects and rendering. No problem. Export also works very well.

    The same project, create sequence HDV and import the small clip of HDV video. Plays very well. However, cannot make no effect and cannot export. (Same problem as before: hangs.)

    HERE IS WHERE I AM NOW:

    PP works fine in every way except that I can't make any effect of HDV footage and I can't export HDV to MPEG-2 or AVCHD format. I can make and export DV SD to SD (AVI etc) formats with no problems. I was also able to export the HDV SD AVI film (but only without effects - if I tried to apply effects in PP, they wouldn't render-hang as before).

    Here's what I see:

    ImporterProcessServer.exe hangs in the background (Task Manager) as PPProHeadless and processcoordinator. None of them shows no activity of the CPU. Somehow, the HD processing pipeline is defective (locked). There seems to be no problem for SD DV rendering.

    Here's what I did to try to solve this problem:

    -Downloaded and updated to latest version of DirectX (9 c for XP)

    -Downloaded and updated for more recent QuickTime

    -Ran CHKDSK on the system and A / V drives (no problem found)

    -Reinstalled PP, AE, SOUL and modules involved in the original game from DVD - ROM

    -Downloaded all updates of PP, AE, Adobe's SOUL and installed

    -Deleted all files of the user for the PP, SOUL, etc. (i.e. under Documents and Settings) and permit software to re - create.

    -Delete the Cache of media and permit PP to recreate (which she did successfully). Also moved Cache of media to a few different readers.

    -Double amount of virtual memory available (it was a shot in the water because everything had worked perfectly before)

    -Rebuild the cache plugin (now SHIFT key)

    -Checked for own log events (in the Windows Event Viewer)

    -Check the logs of other SOUL and PP without finding something interesting

    -Checked the nVidia card has latest drivers (it did)

    -Services checked to make sure minimum of background tasks are running

    -Checked to make sure that the disks have enough free space

    -Sacrifice a goat to the God of the Moon at midnight

    (Kidding on the last one of them, but just barely.)

    I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be skeptical of suggestions that the equipment or system is at fault, given that PP has run so well before, and given that the computer does not show any other problems. My hunch is that in some way something damaged the MainConcept HD codecs, but I guess that uninstall and re-install the software Adobe must have re-installed them, and which did not help. I don't know of another way to test them, or to re - install just this component. It is confusing that the SD treatment works very well.

    I'm frankly at a loss and have spent 8 + hours trying to understand this...

    Thanks for help that someone can give!

  • Please help with trial version

    Hello

    New in Indesign, but use other Adobe stuff.

    Try to have a go of Indesign on a trial download of Adobe.

    Loads fine and all seems well until I have try and open it. When I downloaded the tick the box for the trial and not a product key, but when everything is done and I try and open Indesign, I can't even get into all the screens it just has a pop up window saying "License for this product has expired".

    Get very frustrated that tried this 3 times this afternoon and it takes forever to download again each time.

    All could give me a little advice in this please?

    Thank you.

    If the cleanup script did not work...

    You didn't reset the system clock, by chance, after the first installation? Used to murder trials and darkness doesn't always work (care of rinstalling again and again to avoid buying the license). What Tweak UI or any other utility to tweak system? It is possible, something like that could be messing with the registry and the origin of the problem of license.

    I'm running out of ideas, so if any of the walkers have a suggestion, jump in full.

    For what it's worth, CS4 is an excellent product and normally works very well. I have had no problem justifying the cost upgrade when it came out because it has increased my productivity. If you purchase a license, you will have at least a Support response technique Adobe when you call with an installation problem, and they can work with you on the phone who could help. On the other hand, if it is not a purchase of upgrade, or if she is, and you feel you can expect so cycle the normal version was 18-24 months it is likely, there will be an announcement for CS5 in the coming months. You can currently upgrade to CS4 from CS or later version, but given that the model I would expect that you would need CS2 or later to upgrade to CS5.

  • No floating boxes anywhere!

    I used CS4 to my office several times.  I know how to do things and the pages of newspaper format, etc..  I bought CS4 for my own personal use on my MacBook Pro.  Since I installed it, all three programs are empty when I opened the! There is just the outline of the workspace but no toolboxes (colors, paragraph styles, clothing, etc.) to the actual ones don't work in programs! Please help, I didn't spend all that money to watch a blank page and do nothing.

    Did you receive a confirmation e-mail when you tried to remove preferences? If this isn't the case you were too slow on the keys and nothing has changed. See replace your preferences

    If you really made repalce the preferences and the Tab key is either do it, you probably need to reinstall. Uninstall, run the cleanup script (see run the CS4 Clean Script), and then reinstall.
