Font Not Found.

$
0
0

Hi there,

 

Running InDesign Server with a front-end that takes imported IDML files and creates a print ready .pdf. Something I noticed is that sometimes a font is missing and I get the error message from InDesign server about this. It doesn't affect the .pdf output (except for the missing font but it substitutes it). Is there a way that when an IDML file is imported that the fonts are passed to the InDesign server to process? Or do I have to install all the fonts on the server instead?

 

Just trying to figure out what's the best way to do this.

 

Thanks.

Dead instances in corba mode on Mac OSX

$
0
0

Hello,

 

Since our transition to IDS CS5 we often experience that corba instances run into a dead-lock randomly.

With a dead instance, i mean that the process is still running, the ior file still exists and seems to be valid (the contentstring is the same as on startup), but the application object is lost. It occurs randomly somewhere during execution of our code and almost always on a different part of our code.

I can simulate this state of IndesignServer by running a corba instance on my MacBook Pro, closing the MBP and wait for about an hour. Then reopen it and trying to connect. Then i get:

org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 201 completed: No
       at com.sun.corba.se.impl.logging.ORBUtilSystemException.connectFailure(ORBUtilSystemExceptio n.java:2200)

       at com.sun.corba.se.impl.transport.SocketOrChannelConnectionImpl.<init>(SocketOrChannelConne ctionImpl.java:188)
       ... 9 more

This is exactly what i get on our customers servers (which don't "go to sleep" obviously). Just setting my MacBook Pro to a very short sleep time (1 min.) doesn't invoke this error. This makes it hard to simulate the problem. Apparently the sleep invoked by closing the MBP and waiting an hour isn't the same as putting it asleep, all parameters on, after 1 min.

All OSX versions are 10.6

So i have two questions:

1) What are the possible causes of those dead-locks? Errors in our code (both java and our own IDS plugin) normally cause a real instance crash which is traceable.

2) Is there a way to re-establish a connection to a dead instance?

 

Thanks in advance for any input!

How to start Debug server? No Redistributables?

$

Hi everyone,

 

Having issues with trying to run a Debug server for development testing. The server is not on the same dev box as Visual Studio, etc. It's a standalone W2008R2 box. I have the Debug version installed for testing but when trying to run it I get the 'side-by-side configuration error'.

 

Did a quick search and just installed the 2005 C++ redistributables but still no go.

 

So how can I get this Debug server up and running so we can develop against it without using our Production license?

 

There is zero Adobe documentation on this that I have found and quite frustrating for sure.

 

Edit:

 

I did a sxstrace and here are the results:

On the same server I have the Release version of 5.5 and it starts up with no issue. What's the point of the Debug/Developer version if it doesn't start? Do I need to reach out to my Adobe rep for answers on this?

 

Thanks for any help/tips/pointers.

OPI errors.

$
0
0

We're running CS6 server (multi-instance). Been running fantastic for a while now but recently I'm seeing this error:

 

One or more placed graphics include OPI information. The information is not permitted in PDF/X compliant files. You can click OK to produce a PDF/X compliant file with no OPI information, but a graphic may be omitted or may be exported at low-resolution if the high-resolution data is not included in the placed graphic.

 

This happens when a job is processed (an IDML file is processed to render a PDF). Seems the only 'solve' is to restart InDesign Server. I've never seen this issue until this past week and am trying to figure out what might be broken on the template or the server.

 

Any thoughts?

InDesign Server 10 CC 2014

Hi there,

 

we are using InDesign CS4 upt o CC 2014 and have some automation going with InDesign Server.

Our latest InDesign Server is 9. This workflow can't handle CC 2014- Documents.

 

Is there any Release-Date for InDesign Server CC 2014?

 

Many thanks,

Florian

I can't get indesign server to listen on the admin port on osx.

I've tried the example (with other ports) from the sdk with no success:

"/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS6 Server/InDesignServer.app/Contents/MacOS/InDesignServer" -port 12345 -heartbeatupdateinterval 10 -adminport 18485

The port isn't showing when I list the ports using lsof.

 

When I use LBQ the same things occurs. We start the server with:

/Applications/Adobe\ InDesign\ CS6\ Server/InDesignServer.command -configuration config_ior2 -pluginpath Server/Corba -iorfile ~/ServerTestFiles/LBQ/iors/ior2.txt -adminport 12342 -previews

 

When sending a REST call with KillInstance pointing to the ior file the same error occur as when calling the port through curl:

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

  at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)

  at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.doConnect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:339)

  at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:200)

  at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:18

.....

 

On windows it's working as expected.

 

Is there something to take into account when starting on mac?

How to convert idml to pdf in java through SOAP?

Hi All,

 

 

 

I am very new to INDD Server SDK. My question can be very basic.Sorry for that in advance.  What I need to do is sending an idml file to InDesign CS6 Server and get a PDF back in java. This is required to enable translators translating idml format to preview the translated idml. Is this possible? Are there some code samples about how to do it?

 

 

 

Thanks a lot.

so right now on my windows server which is 2008 r2 I have the following installed

Captur00e.PNG

I am trying to get InDesign CC Server 2014 trial activated and here is what I have done so far

Captur00e.PNG

So I got the error that it is not properly licensed so next I ran the command from the Adobe Manager Directory : adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=V7{}InDesignServer-10-Win-GM

Captur00e.PNG

 

Captur00e.PNG

 

Now I got a successful StartTrial indicator, so I will go back and try again

 

Captur00e.PNG

I am confused at this point? I got the right return code for successful, but yet its not licensed properly?

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding this? or maybe I am missing something and doing something incorrectly somewhere?

Hi,

 

I have an InDesign Server with 8 ports running in one Windows Server. Currently, I have assigned 4 InDesign ports for UK client, and 4 InDesign ports for US client.

 

How can I configure the ports in such way 4 ports to use UK Dictionary always, and US Dictionary for the rest of ports. Especially, I have customer defined dictionaries to use.

 

Please advise how to achieve this.

Execute javascript on InDesign CC server 2014 with CORBA plugin.

I have installed InDesign CC server 2014 & wants to communicate with InDesign server via scripting.

I checked that we can pass script path with SOAP connection, but here I have to connect with CORBA to get support for LBQ component.

 

I am new to InDesign server scripting. So,comment/ask if you need any more info.

Scripting InDesign Server

$

0
I understand that when scripting the server, there is no such thing as an activeDocument, so app.activeDocument should be replaced with:

app.documents[0].getElements()[0]

if you want a resolved reference (app.documents[0] is usually good enough, though).

But what happens to commands like:

alert(Msg)

and it's confirm() and prompt() brethren? Do these cause a message on the server thereby bringing things to a halt? Or is the server intercepting these and moving on?

Is there a place a scripter can go to get information on what can or cannot be done on the server? Or should that be "what should or should not be done"?

Hi Experts,

 

We are running multiple instances of Indesign server service. But for all the instances Logs are coming into single file. Is it possible to separe the logs for each instance of server.

 

It will be great help for analysing each server request. If possible please let us know.

Thanks in advance.

InDesign Server CC2014 Trial issue

$

Hi,

 

I cannot start our InDesign Server CC 2014 (Windows Server 2008). I have installed the software and was logged with our Adobe ID and installation was successful without any error message. The installation manual states that “InDesign CC Server needs to be activated before it can be used. If the computer is online, activation is done automatically when you install.” However, I got an error message when I tried to launch InDesign Server: “Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit”.

 

Since  I had previously installed InDesign Server CS6 on another machine, I tried to use the APTEE to start the trial. I used the CS6 one because I did not find any version for CC 2014, I finally got the message:

StartTrial Successful

Return Code = 0

but when I tried to launch again InDesign Server, I always get the Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit message.

I also read this thread but did not find the solution Indesign Server CC Trial issues

 

Thanks for help!

How can I get command-line flags list of InDesign Server?

Actually the situation is testclient doesn't work.
I installed InDesign Server and SDK.
I run InDesignServer.com then I use something like this "testclient -server t.js".
Server and client runs on same comp.
As result I have this exception:
SOAP FAULT: SOAP-ENV:Client
"Unknown error"
Detail: TCP connect failed in tcp_connect()

in SDK indesign-server-test-client.pdf I found:
"Using InDesign Server
In order to use the test client, you must have a machine that has InDesign Server installed and
running properly, as the test client will communicate with the InDesign Server application.
For instructions on running and terminating InDesign Server, including command-line flags,
please refer to the InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide."

Any suggestion?

[CS5 Windows] LBQ crashes Java

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to follow the instructions in the "Working With Load Balancing and Queueing" document for CS5 server. I've run four instances of ID Server using the recommended CORBA parameters in that document. Then I started LBQ by running the "clover.cmd" batch file (after tweaking it a bit, because they forgot to set the JAVA_HOME path). All seems well.

 

However, when I ping the LBQ as recommended, by opening this URL:

 

http://localhost:8080/com.adobe.clover.application/api/GetVersion

 

I get a message that Java has crashed. Specifically, it says "Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working." Then Windows helpfully offers to find a solution (I've never actually experienced Windows finding a solution, ever). Of course then the browser request times out, and we're back to using QuarkXPress.

 

This is using Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1 (say that fast, 3 times), and InDesign CS5 Server 7.0.0.355.

 

I thought perhaps the Java version was suspect, so I uninstalled it (both 32- and 64-bit versions) and installed fresh versions from www.java.com. Still the same problem. Then I thought, maybe it needs more memory, so I changed the command line -Xmx parameter from 512M to 1024M. Still the same problem.

 

The problem isn't InDesign Server, because it never actually gets to that point; it's in the LBQ Java code (I think) and/or some mystical Java configuration.

 

So I'm stumped. Has anyone successfully used Adobe's load balancing solution as documented?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Chuck Weger

Hide cmd windows after running LBS bat file

Hi,

 

Now I am working on a solution of converting indd file to pdf on server side in our product.

Since this process may cost time I choose LBS with job queue, but after running "startup-indesign-server-CORBA-4instances.bat" there four cmd windows will popup to listen to request.

What I want is that can I hide these window after they started? I don't want customers to close this windows for their careless.

I have tried to write a .vbs script to hide the cmd window but failed.

Anyone has an idea?

 

 

Thanks
