• Create the Excel using Indesign javascript file

  Hi all

  We can create csv file using indesign javascript. Is there a way to create excel file using indesign javascript?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi all

  It is a way to generate an Excel from an InDesign table by using a combination of jsx, vbs and applescript.

  Quite a long discussion on that Open with below is a better application of the suggestions here.

  // Exports SIMPLE tables to proper excel file single and double quotes in the table would have to be escaped on the Mac version
  // Does not take Unicode file names
  // with a bit of brain racking can be developed to deal with merged cells and nested tables

• InDesign Javascript *.pdf in counter

  Hi all

  I want to ask you if there is a way to count the pdf files in the directory via Indesign Javascript. Thanks for the tips.

  GetFiles allows you to gather all your PDF documents (with "*.") PDF' as argument). Then check how long the resulting table is.

• HTTP request at regular intervals

  Hello

  I have an application that update its database, create an http request and parsing the xml response (it dynamically build the query with xml content). I want to update my database at regular intervals, so I need to do http request at regular intervals, of power to the top of the device to power off. My autorun app at startup, but I would like to request http in the same interval, even if I enter the application and I close. I tried with the task of thread or a timer, but I have the same problem, it is if I enter the application and close the thread dies and I can't see http request. I don't know if I explain my problem... Can you tell me if there is a solution?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Gianni.

  Use a background application. You can use a different entry point (see the knowledge base) to enter your main application.

  a timer and timertask run a thread would be the best solution I think

• perform a function javascript on a linked page

  I have a page (one.html) which has a javascript function named rocker. on the page, it passes a variable to the function using onClick. for example, onClick = "toggle('img7').
  
  now on a separate page (two.html), I have link to this first page. I would like to have the link open this page and run the function of rocker, with a variable I specified in the link. is this possible? If so, how? "something to the effect of < a href =".. One.html & toggle ('img5'); "> my < /a > link
  
  Thanks a lot for taking the time!

  What I meant is that every page using this method must have
  the toggle() function to fade in, or who are related to him... as well as the
  the function below... two of them. The two functions could be placed in a
  external js file and liinked to all pages that use that.

  I am all that directly from the Scripting Guide with only a very few changes.

  But I never see the two last executed statements.   I tried all sorts of things to make this work and it won't work.

  Someone at - it ideas why this won't work and what I can do about it?

  Hello Larso

  Did you install own OS or you are using already preinstalled at the factory?

  In my opinion these things should not happen, and if I were you I would dealer and him to confront these issues. The device is new and before starting any kind of troubleshooting check that with garage.

  The only thing you can try is to preinstall unit with recovery media. On this way the OS will be own pre-installed and you can check if the problem persists.
