How to 'Place in the linked file' (not 'import') a multipage PDF file on a single work plan?
ILLUSTRATOR CS4
Hello
I often use import it the Carlos Santo multiPDF script and it works fine.
But I sometimes customers multipage PDF files with text and the fonts are embedded so rarely.
As you may know, the solution for this font "vectorized" even if you don't have it in your font collection is to place your pdf as a linked file (menu file-> Place with the "link" box checked) in an open document (or drag and drop the it) and then via the object Menu-> flatten transparency , I check the "Embed text" did.
So to automate it with a multipage PDF and inspired by the script of Carlos, I tried this:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
var doc = app.activeDocument;
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
firstPage var = 1;
var lastPage = 10;
pdfFile = File.openDialog ("open multiple PDF pages", "*.pdf", false);
for (i = firstPage; i < lastPage; i ++)
{
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = i;
var thisPlacedItem = doc.placedItems.add ();
thisPlacedItem.file = pdfFile;
};
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
It does not work! I find myself with 10 placedItems the number of page 1 of the pdf file. Maybe the pageToOpen option only works when I use the Open method? Actually no, because if I run the application only the 2 following lines and then I drag and drop the pdf file, the specified page (page 8 of the example) is well placed.
//////////////////
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 8;
/////////////////
I don't know how to fix. I have 2 solutions, but it only makes "semi automatic":
-Create a dialog box palette with a button that increases successively the pageToOpen option and then make drag and drop my file once for all pages (easy)
-Without the palette and the button, but with a listener of events with a function that increases the value of pageToOpen whenever I have do drag and drop a new file (perhaps by listening to the evolution of document.placedItems.length), but is it possible?
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help!

I had the same problem, my first option was to place the pdf pages, I couldn't make it work I therefore had no choice but to open the file instead.
go with your first option, besides you drag Actions may place the right page, based on the property of pageToOpen ... so there is hope, record an Action to place your pdf and...
1. run your script to increase the property of pageToOpen
2. play your action
3. Repeat this process for each page
actions can also run scripts, then you can do it too.
If you had CS6, it would be easier, CS6 can play shares with Javascript

How can I fix the link between adobe and windows if I see .pdf not win32 application
How can I fix the link between adobe and windows if I see .pdf not win32 application, without the disc?
"Adobe" is the name of the company that provides a great many different applications.
Adobe Reader is free and allows you to view pdf files.
Adobe Acrobat is expensive and allows you to create, edit and view pdf files.
Assuming that you are referring to the reader, uninstall all the versions of it using the control panel > add or remove programs. Then either
1. go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO and download the current version (remember to uncheck the box to install McAfee Security Scan Plus.
or
2. go to http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/ and download Foxit Reader, a small pdf reader and many more.
Then, install the reader that you have downloaded.

Illustrator could not find the linked file
When I open an Illustrator file that uses linked pictures, I get a warning that it could not find the linked files and asking me to fix all the links one by one! Linked images are sitting in the same folder as the Illustrator file that uses. HAVE this problem only occurs when I need to open the file on another computer (PC or Mac) and I guess that's because Illustrator uses an absolute path to the loading of the images related rather than a relative path based on the location of the file.
Everyone knows the same problem? All solutions?
Software: Adobe Illustrator CS3
Hardware: Windows XP PC and Mac OSX
Thank you

Are all the files in the same folder and they create and save this
document with all in the same folder. If they created the
the document with files in other places and then moved the files to the
good record, it will not work.

How can I fix the problem of not being able to open files by double clicking with photoshop
How can I fix the problem of not being able to open files with photoshop by double-clicking it in windows Explorer?
This problem affects psd, jpg, and png files. I get an error saying "the program can't start because adbeape.dll is missing on your computer. I can open all these types of files in the menu 'open' in photoshop. It is not a matter of them not having no not extensions. I use windows 7.
Thank you
Thanks for the update.
Just for test, could you please rename Photoshop.exe to Photoshop CC2015.exe location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC2015
then change the file association to the new renamed exe file and let us know if this helps or not.

How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7? It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!
What happens when you try? Make sure you drag the icon image and not the text of the name.
If it still doesn't work there are some registry changes that can try to alleviate the problem. But because the changes to the registry are tedious and dangerous, I recommend to leave the system to repair it for you. Here's how:- Type of restore in the search box of the start menu to find and open to restore system files and settings from a restore point.
- Click Next, choose a date before the problem started, then click Next once more.
- This process only takes around 2 minutes and only restores your system files/settings: it will not affect any of your files, documents, photos, emails, or anything else.
If the system restore does not resolve the problem try this to replace missing or corrupted system files. Here's how:- Type cmd into the start menu search box, and then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to launch as administrator.
- At the command prompt to start the File System Check, type sfc/scannow .
