OnLoad, execute a javascript script
I need to execute a javascript script that will set the values to some drop-down lists and some textfields on page load. I can simply write that on a field, but I want to run it when loading PDF.
You must use a script at the level of the doc, then.
You can create one via Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts.
Here is a simple example of a script that sets the value of a text field:
this.getField("Text1").value = "12345";

script ScriptPath language javascript
end say
But it gives error
error "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 was an error: syntax error" number 8
I also try:
the value ScriptPath to alias "HD:private:var:root:Documents:Adobe Scripts: Source1.jsx.
say application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5.
set myDocument to do document
script ScriptPath language javascript
end say
No compilation error
The runtime gives the same error "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 was an error: syntax error" number 8

and run Source1.jsx using extend Script Toolkit CS5.5 then script executed successfully.
My Java Script is:
indesign #target
myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6 p", "p 25", "30 p", "30 p"];
myTextFrame.contents = 'Spread Master';
I don't understand where is syntax error.
say application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5.
script alias "HD:private:var:root:Documents:Adobe Scripts: Source1.jsx" javascript language

How to execute a JavaScript script associated with interactive field?
I need to perform a virtual a plugin click. Say a set of 3 button to check/radio fields have the value of exports:
-Yes
-No.
-Maybe
I have a script which indicates that was clicked almost the button of "Maybe". All I have to do is find which radio buttons:
radioButton #0
radioButton #1
radioButton #2
contains the export value of "Maybe". So far, this task is very doable. My question is how to do the following:
I need to call the JavaScript Shell and run it, using as argument the code JavaScript associated with the top of the button mouse.
Any help will be most appreciated...
TIA,
-Ramon
IF you try to do it from a plugin - I would use just Cos API to obtain the appropriate JS of the action of the field dictionary and then pass it to AFExecuteThisScript().

to increase or decrease the height of a subform, you use the following syntax in the click of + and - button
cmdAdd::JavaScript
_Row1.addInstance (1);
var b is parseFloat (Subform3.h) - 6.5;.
If (b<>
b = 0;
}
Subform3.h = b + "mm";

var b is parseFloat (Subform3.h) + 6.5.;
Subform3.h = b + "mm";
_Row1.removeInstance (this.parent.index);

I created a Javascript script that adds a watermark on the document action "paper print". This works in Acrobat Pro, but does not work in the drive. I am a novice using Javascript, so what am I doing wrong?
Cannot use either addWatermarkFromFile or addWatermarkFromText methods of document with player as shown in the documentation. You can hide/display the form fields and the existing layers, so consider this approach.

How to run 'Save as optimized' in a javascript script to automate the optimization of PDF.
How to run 'Save as optimized' in a javascript script to automate the optimization of the pdf?
In can't find if this function exists even in javascript, because the API reference is a dead link:
This is the good link: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat SDK license agreement | Adobe Developer Connection
But just to make you save time, you can not do with JS directly. You can probably trigger the menu item he does, but then you still need to interact with it manually.

How to execute a Perl Script in ODI and Catch error

Use the OS command to achieve this. In your package add command OS and in the command line, specify the path of your perl script.
PS: Make sure that your agent may be able to access this location/path specified.

How to execute a Perl script and returns the value as a string?
Hi, I am trying to build an application using the eclipse 2.0.0 with the Blackberry SDK 7.1 plug-in. currently I tested Simulator 9900 version 7.1.0.523. I need to use the Perl language to access the raw biological database and returns as a string without having to write a longer program using java.
In a stand alone Java SDK, I can use the line:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime () .exec ("perl script.pl")
but when I tried to use it on the IDE for a Blackberry project, the project will not compile. It is said:
Method exec (String) is undefined for the type of Runtime
Hopes, can someone show me the correct syntex to use, but if no class is available, could someone show me a sample for unified research process? The names of blackberry dev is very complicated, I can't find any samples for her.
Thank you.
Seems interesting.
Your idea was to download the data to the BlackBerry and then directly execute queries.
Although there are a number of other obstacles, the first fall you in East platforms supporting Perl. Here is the list:
http://perldoc.Perl.org/perlport.html#supported-platforms
BlackBerry OS Java is not included - in fact the only ' included phone OS is Symbian. Interestingly, it seems likely that PlayBook and BB10, because they are based on the QNX operating system.
If we discard Perl as a query language, then you will need to provide another option to search. I think that unified search is an option, but you will have some work to do to use it. The first thing you should do is find out if in fact, you can download the database on the BlackBerry. The only available on the Blackberry database engine's SQL, so if you want the database can be exported to a SQL database, there is a chance that it would work. I had a quick glance around the site, and I can't tell what the "database" is in the format. Then I suggest that look you at that next.
I hope this helps.

JavaScript, script working almost help returns something weird
Hi scripters,.
I work almost Javascript Variable to inDesign who kindly gave to me (see below) I know very very little JavaScript and I almost got this job I just need help.
The script returns the size of the document and the unit of measurement to a variable, but my goal was to get the unit of measure to be abbreviated (IE; Mm mm)
It works, but it also returns a weird thing in front of mm (NaN).
function toTitleCase(s) { return s.toLowerCase().replace(/\b\w/g, function () {return arguments[0].toUpperCase()}); function getPageDimentions(page){ var width, height, bounds, units, abbr, decPlaces; // function presumes that normal pages // i.e. same vertical and horizontal and no page shape transformations decPlaces = 3; units = toTitleCase(page.parent.parent.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits.toString()); // If you forgot to include the toTitleCase function then remove the method abbr = UnitValue(units); bounds = page.bounds; height = bounds[2] - bounds[0]; height = myRound(height, decPlaces); width = bounds[3] - bounds[1]; width = myRound(width, decPlaces); return height + " x " + width + " " + abbr
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Scott
Hi Scott,.
you have not provided the script. And some closing hooks are missing as well.
However, the point is, that you use:
abbr = UnitValue(units);
Instead of:
abbr = UnitValue(units).type;
like Marc suggested this other thread.

If the State shows red and javascript script does not
I am just learning Javascript and I can't believe, I have problems with that simple statement, but alas I am.
Any help would be appreciated.
The script is a script of learning:
JavaScript document
var crust = prompt ("what kind of crust do you want - thin or regular?'");
If (== crust "thin"). (crust is 'regular')) {
var cheese is prompt ("choose your cheese?");.
{Switch (Cheese)}
case "mozarella":
case 'feta ':
"parmesan" case
case "cheddar":
break;
by default:
Alert ("sorry we not that kind of cheese.");
break;
}
} else {}
Alert ("sorry we don't serve that kind of crust here.'");
}
Line no 4 and 19 shows red and the script does not run. Help, please. I created a similar script with numbers and it works fine but as soon as I put channels in I get errors.
I tried to rewrite these lines so many times in so many different ways.

read apex_item.checkbox in a javascript script
Hi people,
I have a page of report of popup with a report of checkbox
Select apex_item.checkbox(1,empno) tur,
Ename,
job
EMP;
The user can click on the checkbox and give the button submit. I need to pass the value of the checkbox on the page parent via JavaScript. I know that the way to get the value of the item through JavaScript
Text1 = $v ("P4_COMMENTS");
But I don't know how to get all the item clicked is a Java variable. I even tried
< script >
function i() {}
AV = document.getElementById ("G_F01");
Alert (AV);
}
< /script >
Document.GetElement does not work in this case.
Please let me know how to extract the
Article apex_item. CheckBox checked in a JavaScript rather than PL/SQL block.
Thank you in advace
knockaert
Hello
Place the following script on the popup page to get the values back to page 1. Make sure that you call the javascript returnCheckedVals function by clicking on the submit button.
function returnCheckedVals(){
var pChked='';
//Get all the values of the checkbox by name
$("[name=f01]").each(function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')){
pChked = pChked+','+this.value;
}
});
//Remove comma at the front
pChked = pChked.substring(1);
alert(pChked);
//Return values back to page 1 item, imagining the popup report on page 2
opener.document.getElementById("P1_EMPLOYEE_IDS").value = pChked;
close();
