Hi,

I'm working on a complex book and need to split threaded stories at lots of places. I know I can do it manually through the Story Editor but have really set my eyes on the Story Splitter script created by Adi Ravid. I found its place @ the Adobe Exchange (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1302 518#)  but get an error "We're sorry, we encountered an error processing your request." - also when pressing "Email author: Adi Ravid".

So, could someone who has the script please post it here?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,

I have a text box that lists the word "English" which identifies the English Manual on the title page. I copy and translate this manual. On the translated manuals, I want to change this "English" into the word "Spanish" or "Japanese" using a script. What would be the right way to do this? I could do a find change that targeted only the first page or is there some way to give a text box a unique identifier to call out in the code? Is this what "script labels" do?

Greetings,

I have a database full of text and I would like to publish the data into a nicely designed InDesign file. I can easily dump the data into XML, JSON, or raw Text but is it possible to dynamically populate an InDesign file with this data then publish straight to PDF? Are there any examples of dyanmic data being published from an external source (like XML, JSON, etc.)?

Hi all,

I have a script that opens any InDesign documents that have "0050" in the name ( Thanks to Kasyan Servetsky for the original ).

My problem is that the larger script it will be incorporated into has a variable called "pgNum" that controls which page number needs to be opened (not always page 50) so I need to replace the "0050" with the "pgNum" variable.

I've spent quite a while chopping and changing, then going back to the original but cannot find a way to do it, if anyone could help that would be fantastic .

Many Thanks, Bren

var pgNum = 0060

var files; 

var folder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder with InDesign documents"); 

if (folder != null) { 

    files = GetFiles(folder); 

    if (files.length > 0) { 

        // turn off warnings: missing fonts, links, etc. 

        app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT; 

        for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) { 

            app.open(files[i]); 

        } 

        // turn on warnings 

        app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL; 

    } 

    else { 

        alert("Found no match"); 

    } 

} 

function GetFiles(theFolder) { 

    var files = [], 

    fileList = theFolder.getFiles(), 

    i, file; 

    for (i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) { 

        file = fileList[i]; 

        if (file instanceof Folder) { 

            files = files.concat(GetFiles(file)); 

        } 

        else if (file instanceof File && file.name.match(/0050.*\.indd$/i)) {  // ******** NEED TO CHANGE "0050" TO THE VARIABLE pgNum ********

            files.push(file); 

        } 

    } 

    return files; 

} 

I don't think I've ever been so fast before:

http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html is updated, it now also contains my Friendly Help for CS6, as both HTML (separate files) and CHM (one compiled file for use with a Windows Help viewer).

By way of experiment I added a "Full Index" to the HTML version. This is a single huge file, 2.7MB, but it contains links to all properties and methods in the entire set of files. So if you can't use the live one in the compiled CHM, you can still use this one to get a good overview of What to find Where.

... Enjoy!

This discussion is for changes to the scripting DOM which can affect legacy scripts.

Please use this discussion for discussing new scripting features in CS5.

Please keep in mind that all changes are specific to version 7 DOM. InDesign supports versioning, so you should be able to use legacy scripts in CS5 without issues. Versioning can be done in two ways:

1) Place the script in a folder named: "Version 6.0 Scripts" (or 5.0, 4.0, 3.0). The folder must be named exactly as specified.

2) Set the script version preferences at the start of your script. (i.e. app.scriptPreferences.version = 6), but it's highly recommended to reset the scripting version at the end of the script, and even to enclose the script in a try/catch/finally block to ensure that the script preferences are reset correctly.

Here's quick links to issues brought up in this thread:

1. PageItem.parent
2. PageItem.itemByName()
3. PageItem.cornerOption and PageItem.cornerRadius
   
4. Text values returned as Strings instead of Numbers
5. PointType.LINE_TYPE was changed to PointType.PLAIN
6. PasteBoardPreference.minimumSpaceAboveAndBelow was removed.

I am looking for a script to export a large indesign document to JPG images and rename each page as the Live Caption attached to the image on the page. The caption is a paragraph style named 'filename' if that is better to use.

I am new to scripting and have had a look at other scripts and they only rename multiple pages as a basic name and a number after.

Wondering if this can be done?

Hi,

Is it possible to hide a particular column in table using script?Please do guide me on this...

Regards,

Revathi

This discussion is for new features/improvements in CS5 related to scripting. For changes to the scripting DOM which effect older scripts please use this discussion instead.

Appropriate topics are ones which revolve around the ESTK, InDesign's DOM, or new technologies (such as the new "CS Extension Builder"). Please try to keep the discussion on topic!

Thanks,

Hello!

The  code find a list of text like human, free,... with a specific Paragraph Style, like Style 01, Style 02, and after replace the Paragraph Style to MyStyle

But didn't works, because something is not working in the line number 12, with appliedParagraphStyle.

Please can you check and help me?

var myDoc = app.activeDocument,    
myCodes = ["human","free"],  
C = myCodes.length,  c;    
app.findTextPreferences = null;  
for ( c = 0; c < C; c++) {           app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = myCodes[c];           myFound = myDoc.findText();        var F = myFound.length,  f;      for ( f = 0; f < F; f++) {          myFound[f].appliedCharacterStyle = myDoc.characterStyles[0];          if (( myFound[f].appliedParagraphStyle.name == 'Style 01') || ( myFound[f].appliedParagraphStyle.name == 'Style 02') || ( myFound[f].appliedParagraphStyle.name == 'Style 03') || ( myFound[f].appliedParagraphStyle.name == 'Style 04')) {              myFound[f].appliedParagraphStyle = 'MyStyle';        } else{}    }  
}  

Thanks so much!

Hi! I can call an ExtendScript script from a command line or batch file just by using its path, but is there a way to pass parameters to the script? Thanks. -Rick

Hi everyone,

I posted this very same question about a month ago but I got no reply so I thought I'd try again. Even if I can't obtain a free script that will do what I need, I'm happy to look at paying for one if someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for a script that will target the stroke weight in tables and change them to a lighter weight, eg. from 0.5pt to 0.3pt.

I have a script that targets the fill at the following url:

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/681944

...but I'm looking for one that targets the stroke.

Just wondering if anyone might know where I can find one?

Thanks

Hello,

Is it possible to add a event listener for radiobuttonGroups1 and radiobuttonGroups3 where those two options can’t be selected at the same time?

So if you click a button in radiobuttonGroups1, all buttons in radiobuttonGroups3 are deselected and the other way around so only one of those two groups can be active at a time.

I found an example in Peter Kahrel’s ScriptUI for dummies but only for “new Window ("dialog”);” dialog type………nothing for the “app.dialogs.add type”

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Below is the dialog code.

var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Color Swatch Options", canCancel:true});

with (myDialog){

with (dialogColumns.add()){

with (borderPanels.add()){

var myradiogroup3 = radiobuttonGroups.add();

with (myradiogroup3){

var myyesradiobutton3 = radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:'Check For Spot Color Usage "No"', checkedState:false});

var mynoradiobutton3 = radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:'Check For Spot Color Usage "Yes"'});

staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"", minWidth:15});

}

}

with (borderPanels.add()){

var myradiogroup2 = radiobuttonGroups.add();

with (myradiogroup2){

var myyesradiobutton2 = radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:'Delete All Unused Swatches "No"', checkedState: false});

var mynoradiobutton2 = radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:'Delete All Unused Swatches "Yes"'});

staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"", minWidth:17});

}

}

with (borderPanels.add()){

var myradiogroup1 = radiobuttonGroups.add();

with (myradiogroup1){

var myyesradiobutton1 = radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:'Convert Spot Colors To Process "No"', checkedState: false});

var mynoradiobutton1 = radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:'Convert Spot Colors To Process "Yes"'}); 

}

}

}

}

if (myDialog.show() == true){

var Spots2Process = myradiogroup1.selectedButton;

var DeleteUnusedSwatches = myradiogroup2.selectedButton;

var CheckForSpot = myradiogroup3.selectedButton;

myDialog.destroy();

}

Thanks is advance!!

We have some set of texts that need to find and change in the entire InDesign CS4 document rather than doing manually. Kindly help me out to do the same successfully.

for e.g. find text - "mam" and replace with "man".

Is it possible to extract or export single pages from an InDesign document?

So far I've done it this way: I remove all the other pages, save to a new document and reopen the original document.

Here's my script https://gist.github.com/2964807

But obviously this is more of an hack. And the problem is that it's very obvious to the user, as the document is closed and re-opened. Is there a cleaner way of doing it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Is it possible to combine, lets say 15, PDF-files using Indesign and some scripting magic?

I know it's easily done in Acrobat Pro, but I'd like to skip that step and make it even easier for my colleagues.

Any hints, tips or links are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Thomas
