Access InDesignServer instance running as Windows service via COM?

April 2, 2014, 5:00 am
$

0

I 'm trying to obtain the COM application object of an InDesign Server instance that is running (via the InDesignServerService) as a Windows Service but all attempts at this have thusfar failed.

 

This is what I did

  • I have created a new instance via InDesignServerService.msc. The new instance has no port and the following commandline argument "-configuration IDS_1".
  • I have set the InDesignServerService to log on using my local user account.
  • I started the InDesignServerService
  • I'm using InDesignServer CS6 (8.0) x64 on Windows 8 (also tried on Win7) and I'm a local admin.

 

I want to communicate with the InDesign server instance from my application (this is a .NET application, but all COM functionality is through low-level p/invokes calls). Actually this will eventually run also as a service, but for debugging purposes I thought it would be easier to run it as a simple console application.

 

I would have expected that a COM moniker called "IDS_1" would now be available to which I could bind to gain access to the Application object of the server instance. However, this does not seem to be the case.

 

The thing is, when I run InDesignServer as a regular application the moniker is in fact available.

 

Any help on what could be wrong here and a possible solution would be much appreciated.

Problem printing documents from a Script

Hello, I have developed a JavaScript for InDesign Server CS6.
The JavaScript take the InDesign document and send it to print to a poscript printer.
Usually the script works correctly, but after some executions it appear the error message "There is a problem with the font "---------"".

At the beginning I thought that the font was corrupt but it makes no sense because if I restart the InDesign Server and launch the execution with the same document, It works correctly.

I have reviewed the script, and we are sure that the script is correct.

The documents should be correct because if I launc any document after restarting the application It works OK.

The fonts seem be OK, following the same reason that I say about the document.

So we don't know where is the problem but it is an important problem.

could someone help me?

Regards

Right now I have the InDesign instances all running great as services so on a server reboot they start up fine. The clover/lbq part is  just the .cmd script and it's not running as a service. I looked in the documentation but haven't found any info on getting clover to run as a Windows service.

 

Anyone know how to set it to do this? I'm on InDesign CS6 (server).

 

thanks.

Hi,

 

Info for interested readers:

 

As a result to a call to the Adobe Developer Support we (the support team and me) found the following solution:

 

It is a language dependent bug:

If you use Scripts:Application:myscript.jsx it works in the english (enUS) version of the InDesign Server, but not in the german (deDE) version.

But if you use Scripts:Server:myscript.jsx it works in both languages.

Other languages were not tested.

Indesign Server CC Trial issues

November 27, 2013, 6:40 pm

The installation instructions states

 

You need to download Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition (APTEE) for using the InDesign Server trial

 

The download link only refers to CS6, CS5.5 & CS5 not CC

Since there is no Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition for CC I decided just to install and run the trial.

 

However I got the Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit message.

According to the CC Release notes it says:

 

InDesign CC Server needs to be activated before it can be used. If the computer is online, activation is done automatically when you install. You need to provide your Adobe ID, and serial number when prompted by the installer. Unless the software is activated, you'll see an error, "Adobe InDesign Server’ is not properly licensed and will now quit."

 

My computer was online yet the it seems it didn't perfom the automatic activation as it suggests. When I entered my AdobeID credentials I did not get any errors saying it could not connect online.

 

So I had to do something and decided to use the Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition for CS6.

This allowed me to get pass the licensing issue.

 

The next problem was I was getting DDE Server Window:InDesignServer.exe System Error popup. Telling me The program can't start because svml_dispmd.dll is missing from your computer.

So after browsing the net to see where I can get this missing svml_dispmd.dll I found this post http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/285859

and decided to install what it suggested.

I still got the missing dll error so I copied it from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\intel64\compiler into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server x64

 

Now it just sits there and hangs at the same spot

11/28/13 08:09:08 INFO  [javascript] Executing File: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server x64\Scripts\converturltohyperlink\ConvertURLToHyperlinkMenuItem.jsxbin

 

What the heck is going on here?

 

 

I have installed Indesign Server CC on another machine and although I did not get the missing dll problem it still however hangs at the same spot mentioned above.

Could someone from Adobe please help. The already I'm losing days with this trial and I will have little days left to test this product.

How to disable sessions in CS6?

December 4, 2013, 3:32 pm
$

InDesign Server CS6 added a mechanic of multi-threading jobs via sessions.

Now you can begin session and end session via SOAP web service call.

 

However, the sessions add a huge overhead for those who want to use multi-instance instead of multi-threading.

 

A webservice call without a session ID is always ~500ms slower while it creates a session in the background. The session is then appears to be used on a ~5 second sliding timeout allowing subsequent calls to be 500ms faster, however if you wait around 10 seconds, the next call recreates the session and increases render time by ~500ms again.

 

This is a major issue when rendering takes on average of 1000ms. That's a 50% longer execution time. This is a major problem when trying to offer a speedy web application built on top of IDS.

 

I tried creating sessions and keeping the IDs in memory, but they expire and result in a whole bunch of SOAP errors.

 

My question is: Is it possible to disable sessions in IDS CS6 or remove the session expiration time completely?

Cannot start Trial for InDesignServer

Hi!

 

This problem drives me nuts.

 

I have installed a fresh new version of Microsoft Server 2012.

I download the latest version of InDesign-Server for Windows.

I install Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition 3.1.

 

I use booth adobe_prtk.exe from the AAMEE and from the Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition with

 

adobe_prtk.exe --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Win-GM

 

I get this result

 

StartTrial Successful

Return Code = 0

 

But if i try to start InDesignServer, the console prompts

 

Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit. (On my machine the german translation of this error).

 

 

What I'm doing wrong?

 

The strange thing is... If I call

 

adobe_prtk.exe --tool=StartTrial --leid=FooBarFooBarFoo

 

the tool says also

 

StartTrial Successful

Return Code = 0

I have reinstalled the Microsoft 2012 Server and a 2008 R2. I have disabled security settings like User Account Control, internet settings and so on.

 

adobe_prtk.exe  gave me on booth machines Return Code 6 what means  "Product whose LEID is entered is not installed on the target computer. "

Although the InDesignServer was installed...

 

But the solutions was quite simple for me:

 

If you look in the adobe_prtk logfile (%temp%/oobelib.log or /tmp/oobelib.log) you can see some entrys from a LEID called InDesignServer-CS7-Win-GM.

 

And that's it.

INDS PDF export issue

Hi,

 

Exporting large document from InDesign takes significantly long time in InDesign CS6 server. Our document has minimum 1200 page needs to be exported to PDF. It takes around 12 minute to export with "smallest file size" preset. Our requirement is to export quick PDF rather then smallest size pdf.

Can some one suggest best setting to fastest PDF export from InDesign. Here is PDF export settings that we use as alternate to "smallest file size" ?

 

 

//Basic PDF output options.            pageRange = PageRange.allPages;            acrobatCompatibility = AcrobatCompatibility.acrobat6;            exportGuidesAndGrids = false;            exportLayers = false;            exportNonPrintingObjects = false;            exportReaderSpreads = false;            generateThumbnails = false;            includeBookmarks = false;            includeHyperlinks = true;            includeICCProfiles = true;            includeSlugWithPDF = false;            includeStructure = false;            interactiveElementsOption = InteractiveElementsOptions.doNotInclude;            //Setting subsetFontsBelow to zero disallows font subsetting;            //set subsetFontsBelow to some other value to use font subsetting.            subsetFontsBelow = 0;            //Bitmap compression/sampling/quality options.            colorBitmapCompression = BitmapCompression.AUTO_COMPRESSION;            colorBitmapQuality = CompressionQuality.LOW;            colorBitmapSampling = Sampling.BICUBIC_DOWNSAMPLE;            colorBitmapSamplingDPI = 100;            thresholdToCompressColor = 150;            //colorBitmapSamplingDPI is not needed when colorBitmapSampling is set to            //none.            grayscaleBitmapCompression = BitmapCompression.AUTO_COMPRESSION;            grayscaleBitmapQuality = CompressionQuality.LOW;            grayscaleBitmapSampling = Sampling.BICUBIC_DOWNSAMPLE;            grayscaleBitmapSamplingDPI = 150;            thresholdToCompressGray = 225;            //grayscaleBitmapSamplingDPI is not needed when grayscaleBitmapSampling is            //set to none.            monochromeBitmapCompression = MonoBitmapCompression.CCIT4;            monochromeBitmapSampling = Sampling.BICUBIC_DOWNSAMPLE;            monochromeBitmapSamplingDPI = 300;            thresholdToCompressMonochrome = 450;            //monochromeBitmapSamplingDPI is not needed when monochromeBitmapSampling            //is set to none.            //Other compression options.            compressionType = PDFCompressionType.compressObjects;            compressTextAndLineArt = true;            cropImagesToFrames = true;            optimizePDF = false;            pdfDestinationProfile = "sRGB IEC61966-2.1";            pdfColorSpace = PDFColorSpace.RGB;            //Set viewPDF to true to open the PDF in Acrobat or Adobe Reader.            viewPDF = false;

InDesign CC Server Availability

First, thanks to all of you in here for taking a look at my question; I'm a newbie here and this question is a little below your level, but since I'm new I'm not really up to date on current releases. I've been trying, for the past few hours, to find out where I can get a non-trial version of InDesign CC Server. It seems that nobody in customer service or sales knows anything about the product. Nobody seems to know it even exists. I'm really confused. So, questions for those of you that may know something about the product:

 

1) How much does the CC version cost when purchasing from Adobe? I am an developer trying to price out for my employer (<15 people). We have a solution we're running off of InDesign desktop CS4 but it's time to make the system faster and tighter and let the rest of our users use it.

2) Is there a significant difference in functionality from InDesign CS6 Server?

3) Why, in your opinion, doesn't anyone in customer service or sales know anything about this? Is it a dud product that nobody's buying and Adobe's not pushing? I was told multiple times that I need to contact a partner, but I'm not interested in any services the partners have to offer - I just want the software to not expire after 90 days and it's like pulling teeth trying to get someone knowledgeable.

 

Thanks!

No I didn't get this to work so I droped it.

 

However I made my own using a webform that converted input into an XML file.

Then I used that file in a script that makes a InDesign document using that XML input.
