Problem of passage from CS3 to CS4 - adding files to book

I had a script which worked beautifully in CS3. Now, we moved to CS4 and he refuses to cooperate with me. I tried a solution on the forum, but it does not work for me.

Creating book

var myBookFileName = monchemin + custom "Modules/PW.indd";
myBookFile = new file (myBookFileName);
myBook = app.open (myBookFile);
myBook = app.books.add (myBookFile);

Add the cover page
myFilename = monchemin + custom "Modules/PW_Cover.indd";
myFile = File (myFilename);
myBook.bookContents.add (myFile);

Add the rest of the personal folders

...

For some reason, when it comes to the bookContents.add statement, it opens a save as dialog box. I wonder if there is a setting in InDesign CS4, rather than a script problem.

I would really have no idea.

Looks like you are trying to add a document in CS3 in a new book of CS4. InDesign wants to save the CS3 CS4 document and therefore gives you the Save as dialogue box. You can go through all the existing CS3 documents you want to add and save out them of CS4, or add a few lines of the script that will do it. (Change the name of the variable I used if it is used elsewhere in your script.)

// Creating book

var myBookFileName = myPath+"Personalized Modules/PW.indd";
myBookFile = new File( myBookFileName );
myBook = app.open( myBookFile );
myBook = app.books.add( myBookFile );

// Add the front cover
myFilename = myPath+"Personalized Modules/PW_Cover.indd";
myFile = File(myFilename);

// Save cover document in current version
myDoc = app.open(myFile,false);
myDoc.save(myFile)); // will overwrite CS3 file with CS4 file
myDoc.close();

myBook.bookContents.add(myFile);

// Add the rest of the individual files

I didn't test this code. Let me know if you have any problems.

  • There is a mistake in my program to flash on upgrading from CS3 to CS4

    First of all, I'm using AS3.

    I can't divulge too, but I have a flash multiscene program, quite complex which works well in CS3. During the upgrade to Flash CS4 - I can open the file and edit everything that elsewhere, but when he test (ctrl + enter) I get an error in the windows exit (1009) and an essay on white, as if it won't start.

    Why?

    I can only give few details if necessary. Thank you.

    There are changes in CS4 that could in some cases allow you to get away with things that you couldn't in CS3, especially to do with going a frame and try to do something to an object that exists now on this image. Error 1009 is what happens if you try to use something that does not yet exist. I guess it's possible that because CS4 is preferable to the use of objects in the new framework, it may have triggered a problem that CS3 would not have triggered.

    Anyway, first thing you could try is updating the recent 10.0.2. Which fixed a large number of questions and can improve things for you:

  • Migrate from the actions of CS3 to CS4

    Hello

    I want to migrate my actions of CS3 to CS4. The CS4 is a new installation on a Windows 7 fresh, CS3 settings I only have a backup of my drive before installing new. This backup, I checked the "C:\Users\ < username > \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Actions" folder, but it is empty. In my CS3, I had a lot of actions, sorted into different folders. Other presets (as for turns or the mixer channels) are there, so I'm pretty confident that my backup worked correctly.

    Am I missing something here and find the CS3 stock elsewhere or are they gone for good?

    Thanks and regards, Robert

    Different folders like in different action sets in the Actions Panel, right? have you actually used the Save Actions command in the Actions panel menu? If you don't back up then try to copy this file: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Actions Palette.psp in the same place but with CS4 instead of CS3 in the path

  • Keep InDesign CS3 when CS4 installation

    I need to keep InDesign CS3 on my PC for compatibility with colleagues, but upgrade to CS4. Can I keep both? (One of our printers wants certain things in CS2, and it of also on my computer and works very well.)

    I'm upgrading from my standalone CS3 to CS4 a stand-alone. By the way, also have the Web Standard Suite CS4 installed (does not inDesign), which caused no problems with the help of the autonomous CS3 to InDesign.

    Any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to have to disable or remove CS3.

    I have InDesign CS3 and standalone CS4 installed on my desktop PC at home with CS4 Web Premium. No problems.

  • Export from Adobe Premiere CS4 - out of low quality/pixelated WMV

    Export WMV (Windows Media Video) from Adobe Premiere CS4 (via Adobe Media Encoder CS4) gives a very low quality/pixelated output (especially when there is text in the video). I use the following settings:


    Video Codec: Windows Media 9
    Pass encoding: 2
    Bitrate Mode: Variable unconstrained

    Width of the frame: 1024
    Frame height: 576

    (* Same as source)

    Format of the pixels: Square pixels (1.0)

    Decoder complexity: Auto
    Keyframe interval: 5
    Average of Bitrate of the video: 5000


    I used the EXACT same settings in Adobe Premiere CS3 and the quality is absolutely perfect. (See the comparison example attached)

    Any ideas what may be the problem?

    Thank you

    Hi all. I'm looking to upgrade my Mac tiger to snow leopard, but I wanted to make sure that there aren't any problems beforehand. Someone has updated to Snow Leopard? Have you had any problems running CS3 or CS4 since?

    There are a few problems with a few plug-ins from third parties, and After Effects CS4 users should switch to After Effects CS4 (9.0.2). Michael Coleman and I try to keep track of issues as they arise. See this post and links it to what we know so far.

  • Problem playing a STROKE in Premiere CS4

    Hello world

    I have recently graduated from University and looking for my hand to be an independent filmmaker. Before now I have just used my small camcorder for all my projects, but I wanted to get the operation in HD I so bought a new HD camera and was really excited to start using it. 

    I had a few shots, the downloaded on my computer from the camera chip and tried to import them into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Files imported very well, but when they play on the source monitor and program monitor (after I drag in the timeline) pixels are nervous, in the wrong position and sometimes play back. Makes the images look blurred and chunky and it is really annoying when I go to change.  How can I solve this?

    The film is very well when I play it with Windows Media Player.

    I thought maybe I chose the wrong preset when I opened a new sequence, but I tried to change that for several different settings and nothing has changed. Most of the settings I tried were AVC-Intra and AVCHD. 

    It looked like few people had similar problems, but with different circumstances than mine. And I couldn't tell if they were able to solve the problem yet. I really want to be able to use this new camera for my upcoming projects and I was hoping someone could help me.

    Here are the specs of my software, camera and computer:

    SOFTWARE:

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

    CAMERA:

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Welcome to the forum.

    As your camera offers many possible settings, you will need to note exactly which setting you choose in the menu of the camera.

    Your Preset Sequence should match those setting perfectly.

    A couple of other things to think about:

    When you have your Clips on the Timeline, is there a red line above these Clips? This ARTICLE will go into the details.

    In the program monitor, which is the defined quality on? I put above and no car, although this work should - sometimes he chooses not of the best quality.

    What is the speed of the CPU on your Asus MoBo? For some sequences, such as AVCHD and other variations of the H.264 CODEC, it is VERY important for a smoother read.

    Have you updated your CS4? If not, do that first.

    Finally, note that playing a simple player, like WMP, VLC, etc., is not the same to play the timeline, as you look now edit images - a little difference that PrPro must manage the images of this edition. The Source and the little play in the project panel screen watching the original film, and now how it will be published on the timeline, so can give smooth playback, where the program monitor studied the chronology.

    Good luck

  • Want to upgrade from CS3 [Design Premium] CS5

    Hello

    You want to upgrade from CS3 Design Premium CS5 and I saw there is a difference in price of the update since CS4 and CS3. Stupid question: if I bought the CS5 upgrade, I would be able to install the suite or it asks for the previous version of CS4? If she asks only CS3 I would really put some $$$.

    Can you help me

    Ellen

    Sorry, but the answer is no you can't pass a suite to a single product.  A lot of people miss this restriction if you choose to purchase the Suite.  Adobe locks for purchase of upgrades for all once more that you've crossed him not you.  So the short answer is that you must purchase the upgrade for the entire suite.

    Check the recent thread on 'Adobe GREED' recent experience of another person with it.

  • Why the look of the evolution of the Photoshop CS3 to CS4 toolbar?

    A nice visual feature to Mac in Photoshop 7, Photoshop CS3 was the appearance of "brilliant" from the toolbar that has acquired the Aqua interface.  Now in CS4, the toolbar looks more like the version of Windows (more bland).  I know that 'how the program research' does not change the way that Photoshop is used, I just thought I would ask in the forums why they would change the appearance of the toolbar for Mac they have had for 7 years.

    I've never worked with a Tablet, so I can't address your concerns there.

    The guy at the Apple Store has been/is just. You CAN run Photoshop for Windows on a Mac. There are several way to do.

    1 boot Camp. -It comes with OS X, so don't buy anything. As long as you have a Windows install disc newerr than XP SP2, you can load. Downside is: you must stop and restart Windows with Boot Camp. No access to OS X. it is difficult if you are working with files in one and go to the other to change.

    2 VMWare Fusion - not free, but you can run Windows while you're still under OS X. very well with two monitors; Windows on one single, OS X, on the other. VMWare Tools allows to drag files from right Mac to the Windows Desktop also.

    3 parallels Desktop - once again not free, but has the same features as VMWare. and you can access files of two operating systems with the other OS.

    I use VMWare and tried to Parallels. I have XP, Vista and Windows 7, loaded as a virtual machines and CS3 and CS4 software running in each of them. Windows seems to actually runs faster on a Mac.

    Hope that helps.

  • Install upgrade between CS3 and CS4

    Hey everybody,

    I want to upgrade my current installation of Indesign CS3 to CS4 (not the entire creative suite). All I got is a new serial number. Can someone tell me what is the best way to do the upgrade? It just that I need to change a license file or run the CS3 installation routine still more enter the new number series or should I still CS3 uninstall first? Apart from this, is it possible that I can keep my version of Indesign CS3 running outside my new version of Indesign CS4?

    Thanks for your help!

    You can upgrade independent InDesign CS3 to InDesign CS4 standalone without removing the old product.

    It is the best way.

    Run the installation of new, and there you go, your old installation remains intact. Now you can edit the two generations of InDesign files.

    You can't pass a single product to a suite.
