Hello,

I have a catalog and I have added two pages in the middle of the catalog. Now, because of this two page addition, I need to update the page numbers listed on the indexes with the new page numbers. I only need to increase each of the page numbers by two, but that only starts on a certain point. So, example, on one of the indexes I have, the page numbers 1-70 can remain the same, since the two extra pages were added AFTER page 70. But every number after 70 needs to increase by 2.

I have a find and replace script. I create a table in excel and drop into the document. The script then takes whatever word or number that is listed in Column A and replaces it with what is in Column B. I originally used this script to find and replace product codes in the catalog, and it worked great because all of the product codes were completely unique.

Trying to use this same script to change the page numbers, but it totally backfired. The issue is that the same number will reoccur later in the table, so the script has the table constantly replacing all of the numbers with the first two. So, here's a small sample of my table:

Col A      Col B

423         425

422         424

421         423

420         422

But when I run the script, here's what it will turn into:

Col A                            Col B

423 becomes 425         425

422 becomes 424         424

421 becomes 425         423 becomes 425

420 becomes 424         422 becomes 424

Because it changes the table, all of the corresponding numbers in the document will then change to 425 or 424.

Is there a way to make it so that the script does not change the information in the table that it uses as a reference?

Here is the script below. I did not write it (some very nice person on these forums did) and don't know anything about scripting.

the_table = app.selection[0].tables[0];
app.findChangeTextOptions = null;
with (app.findChangeTextOptions)
{
caseSensitive = true;
wholeWord = true;
}
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.changeTextPreferences = null;
for (row=0; row<the_table.rows.length; row++)
{
   if (the_table.rows[row].cells[0].contents == '')
     continue;
   app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = the_table.rows[row].cells[0].contents;
   app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = the_table.rows[row].cells[1].contents;
   app.activeDocument.changeText();
}

Thank so much!

Hi,

Is it possible to add hyperlinks by javascript, so that they can be assigned later in the document? Let me explain my thoughts:

This screen shot shows a list of different docs (001 to 005) and the URL for the first document. I would like to make a hyperlink to all of them more automatically. Because the file is saved as 54K0504001.indd, I think it can be done.

What I should need:

1. a pop up with a question:"how many hyperlinks to make"

2. depending on the answer, creating the new hyperlinks in the panel with the full URL (if the answer is 2, I should get 2 hyperlinks, http://www.dekamer.be/FLWB/PDF/54/0504/54K0504001.pdf and http://www.dekamer.be/FLWB/PDF/54/0504/54K0504002.pdf

Hi experts,

I am creating one gui for swatches related automation task in CS4 using javascript. Is it possible to get swatches in dropdown list with its color preview? Same like colors in Swatches palette.

Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Working on a large ID book document (*.indb), I have saved several dozens of Find/Change Queries (named "col01", "col02" etc.) that I run on "All documents". For a particular reason I have to run these queries several times a day.

So I was wondering whether there is, or whether anybody out there would write, a script that runs these queries one after the other. Given the size of the book, it might be necessary to provide for the script to pause after each query is run (before it goes on with the next), but I am just guessing.

Any help is much appreciated!

OK, so I have two snippets, both contain a Rectangle with an Image child.

In one of them, that is all I have.

In the other, the Rectangle is part of a group with another item.

After importing the snippet, I relink to fix the image paths.

On desktop, this works perfectly for both.

For IDS server;

1. The single, ungrouped, snippet gives me programmatic access to the link but then tells me the link doesn't exist after it has been relinked, so attempting to do link.update(); throws an error

2. The grouped snippet works perfectly as per desktop

So...

1. Does anybody have any workarounds?

2. Where can I report this bug?

Hi all.

I'm working on a script to facilitate the creation and editing of books in InDesign. I'm not a programmer, and besides a few lines of code written by me, the script consists of code found and adapted to the purpose.

I have a problem related to two objects (left_box and right_box) : they appear to be undefined, therefore I can not operate on the elements that populate the listboxes that are contained in the objects themselves.

I have reviewed the code many times but I do not understand where I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help.

This is the complete code :

Hi all.

For my project I would need to read through javascript information of the documents contained in a book, in particular the status of the document. I did some research but could not find any useful reference.

Any help is welcome .

I attach a picture to clarify my request (text in Italian). Thanks in advance.

I am trying to get the following script working as a startup script.

the goal is that when the user chooses to save the document, they are presented with a dialog box asking for a quick summary of the edits that were made. Then this info is written to XMP fields.

The core functionality actually works, the dialog prompts and the data gets saved in the XMP.

The problem is that when the save action is initiated an error dialog pops up announcing "The requested action could not be completed because the object no longer exists." and then the script proceeds and functions properly, then it prompts for input and saves the data again.

I get an error, then the script runs twice.

I am confused.

#targetengine session

var myEventListener = app.addEventListener("beforeSave", myPromptForInput);

function myPromptForInput(myEvent){

var myTimeStamp = myEvent.timeStamp

var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Enter a simple description of edits made",canCancel:true});

with(myDialog){

//Add a dialog column.

with(dialogColumns.add()){

//Create a text edit field.

var myTextEditField = textEditboxes.add({editContents:"Description of document changes", minWidth:300});

//Display the dialog box.

var myResult = myDialog.show();

if(myResult == true){

//Get the values from the dialog box controls.

var myNotes = myTextEditField.editContents;

//Remove the dialog box from memory.

myDialog.destroy();

myAddXMPData(myNotes + " - " + myTimeStamp);

//alert(myEvent);

}

}

}

}

function myAddXMPData(myNotes){ 

//var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

with(myDocument.metadataPreferences){

I work with a magazine that prints mug shots of criminals. I get the mug shots of the people's faces, and I have tons of them to put on my layout. They are all different sizes, and right now I have to go through by hand and resize each one to fit it inside the image frame so that that face fills up the frame and is not cut off. Is there any type of script that could somehow detect the face or shape of the people and automatically size them to fit within the image box? If not, does anyone know an easier way for me to do this? It takes forever because I have hundreds to do.

Thanks!

Hi everyody,

I try to select my way by using two dropdownlist.

Each item on the first list change the second dropdownlist

example

List A                              List B               List C               List D  etc..

ItemA1  -> call ListB     ItemB1               ItemC1

ItemA2  -> call ListC     ItemB2               ItemC2

itemA3  -> call ListD     ItemB3               ItemC3

itemA4  -> call ListE     ItemB4               ItemC4              

I scripted like this :

var myList0= ["ItemA1", "ItemA2", "ItemA3", "ItemA4"];

var myListA = ["ItemB1", "ItemB2", "ItemB3", "ItemB4"];

var myListB = etc ....

var columns = myOption2.add("group");

var dimC = [0, 0, 100, 50];

var col1 = columns .add('dropdownlist', dimC , myList0);

col1.onChange = function()

{

     if (col1.selection == 0)

          {

               var col2 = columns .add('dropdownlist', dimC, myListA);

               return col2;

          }

     else if (col1.selection == 1)

          {

               var col2 = columns .add('dropdownlist', dimC, myListB);

          }

     etc ....

}

finally, it happens that my second dropdownlist overlap the first, and i want it separately.

Please, if anyone have an idea ?

best regards

If we import or enter a text code (e.g. a Katakana character )  for which a font has no Glyph, then Indesign will display an x'd rectangle.

Is it possible to find/scan for these with a script?

Thanks !

Is there a way to sort the swatches, like I did for the paragraphStyles, characterStyles, and so on...?

There is no swatches[x].move(Location_option) in CS3 nor CS4 like paragraphStyles have.

Would CS5 have it?

Thanks, Alex.

Hi All,

How to get "AUTO_PAGE_NUMBER" value using indesign javascript.

Thanks & Regards,

Senthilvel S

Hello everyone,

I would like to test for the presence of at least one table in a document before starting a process (on edge strokes). 

I found this, but I do not know if this is really effective:

                              setCountOfTables1tocountoftablesofeverystory

                              setCountOfTables2toeverytableofeverystory

The first gives me a list of the number of table in each story; the second gives me the objects reference of every table.

Is there another way?

TIA.

Oli.

Hi All,

Request:

1. Need to find special characters or Junk Characters in Links name (i.e., Figure$.eps, abcd?cde.jpeg etc)

2. Links name allows only [a-z] or [A-Z] or [0-9]

3. Links name not allows special characters like (i.e., ?, !, @, $ etc...)

4. White Space also not allowed

Very Urgent Request...

Trying Code is:

var myLinks = app.documents[0].links.everyItem().getElements();
alert(myLinks.length)

for(i=0; i<myLinks.length; i++)
{    var mySplit = myLinks[i].name.split(".");    var myFinal = mySplit[0];       for(k=0; k<myFinal.length; k++)    {        if(String(myFinal[k]).match(/[a-z]/g) !=null || String(myFinal[k]).match(/[A-Z]/g) !=null || String(myFinal[k]).match(/[0-9]/) !=null )        {            alert(myFinal);            break;            }               }    }

Thanks in Advance

This line hides InDesign:

app.windows[0].minimize();

But how do you get the app back? I've tried app.windows[0].restore(), .maximize(), bringToFront(), .bounds = [...]. And I've tried it with layoutWindows[0], layoutWindows[0].everyItem().etc(), but nothing seems to work.

Thanks,

Peter
