harryz Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Aloha! I used to be able to download Adobe Flash and Reader from Filehippo using Ketarin with no problems. Sometime in the last month or two Filehippo changed so that if you try to download Flash or Reader you get redirected to 'get.adobe.com/flashplayer'. Obviously, Ketarin can't handle this (and I don't expect it to). But.. has anyone found another site to easily download the latest version of Flash and Reader using Ketarin? I did see a URL for a different download site in another post but it includes the version number, I would like something like filehippo where the url will always get me the latest (non-Beta) version.

shawn Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) FileHippo is now redirecting to the Adobe site for these. You can download directly if you know the pattern used. I have a parser on one of my sites to automate the process of Flash and Air: http://12pd.com/click?air http://12pd.com/click?flash http://12pd.com/click?flashie But Adobe Reader operates a little differently. Here's a way to get Adobe Reader: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Jobs> <ApplicationJob xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Guid="90cbcd3c-e217-48dc-aa4c-e5ac1023ccdc"> <Category>Viewers</Category> <WebsiteUrl>http://get.adobe.com/reader</WebsiteUrl> <UserAgent>Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C)</UserAgent> <UserNotes /> <IgnoreFileInformation>false</IgnoreFileInformation> <DownloadBeta>Avoid</DownloadBeta> <CheckForUpdatesOnly>false</CheckForUpdatesOnly> <VariableChangeIndicator /> <CanBeShared>false</CanBeShared> <ShareApplication>false</ShareApplication> <ExclusiveDownload>true</ExclusiveDownload> <HttpReferer /> <SetupInstructions /> <Variables> <item> <key> <string>schangelog</string> </key> <value> <UrlVariable> <RegexRightToLeft>false</RegexRightToLeft> <VariableType>Textual</VariableType> <Regex /> <TextualContent>http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708.html</TextualContent> <Name>schangelog</Name> </UrlVariable> </value> </item> <item> <key> <string>swebsite</string> </key> <value> <UrlVariable> <RegexRightToLeft>false</RegexRightToLeft> <VariableType>Textual</VariableType> <Regex /> <TextualContent>http://get.adobe.com/reader</TextualContent> <Name>swebsite</Name> </UrlVariable> </value> </item> <item> <key> <string>snotes</string> </key> <value> <UrlVariable> <RegexRightToLeft>false</RegexRightToLeft> <VariableType>Textual</VariableType> <Regex /> <TextualContent /> <Name>snotes</Name> </UrlVariable> </value> </item> <item> <key> <string>spc</string> </key> <value> <UrlVariable> <RegexRightToLeft>false</RegexRightToLeft> <VariableType>Textual</VariableType> <Regex /> <TextualContent /> <Name>spc</Name> </UrlVariable> </value> </item> <item> <key> <string>version</string> </key> <value> <UrlVariable> <RegexRightToLeft>false</RegexRightToLeft> <VariableType>RegularExpression</VariableType> <Regex>tools/ReleaseNotes/\d+/(\d+[\d\.]+)\.html</Regex> <Url>http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html</Url> <Name>version</Name> </UrlVariable> </value> </item> </Variables> <ExecuteCommand /> <ExecutePreCommand /> <ExecuteCommandType>Batch</ExecuteCommandType> <ExecutePreCommandType>Batch</ExecutePreCommandType> <SourceType>FixedUrl</SourceType> <DeletePreviousFile>true</DeletePreviousFile> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <TargetPath>.\{category}\{appname:regexreplace:([\s\t\r\n\-\\&\/]+):_}-{version}.{url:ext}</TargetPath> <FixedDownloadUrl>http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/{version:split:.:0}.x/{version}/en_US/AdbeRdr{version:replace:.:}_en_US.exe</FixedDownloadUrl> <Name>Adobe Reader</Name> </ApplicationJob> </Jobs> This required a slight change due to the behavior of the current release (version has a ".00" in it), but hopefully it'll work fine in the next build. If not, you'll need to modify the {fversion} value appropriately. You can determine the folder structure for Adobe aps by looking at the directory structure here, which equates to the web-accessible folder path in the FixedDownloadUrl variable above.

leo172519 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm hoping this isn't too ancient to be bringing back up, but I am not puting this job in the correct place? I do not do this intelligently this Ketarin since filehippo changed. I currently just go to the adobe ftp repo and download the newest now.

shawn Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hi, Leo! This is far from the oldest thread ever renewed around here. If you copy the XML code in the block above and just focus on the Ketarin window you can paste (CTRL+V) the app profile in. It'll show up in your list with the title "Adobe Reader". Click it then click 'update' and it'll get the current english version full Adobe Reader download. I just updated the template to work with the current version patterns for Adobe Reader, too.

leo172519 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Awesome! Worked like a charm. I would have never thought to paste it there, but it worked out great! Now I'm back to using Ketarin full time, thank you for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Shawn, I also wanted to throw in my thanks for the ctrl-v trick, I'd made it work a few times by saving it to a file but that way is *so* much easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bruce Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I can't get this one to work. I've tried the Ctrl+V method....nothing happens. When I try to import it as an XML, I receive the error: Failed to import the file. There is an error in the XML document (1, 1894). There don't appear to be any line feed or text wrapping issues that I can see. I'm stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bruce Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I finally found the problem. Line 43 has a set of bold HTML tags (<b></b>) that Ketarin probably wasn't too happy with. It worked fine after I removed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
