give me a cancel / Restore dialog box

I just want back. Don't ask me if want to come back.

Help, please.

Thank you

Tell InDesign to shut up and do what it is told. (After that, however, you can find out if she has something to complain.)

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
app.activeDocument.revert();
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;

Hello

Is the result of app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences a XMPMeta object?

Hello again
Hope this isn't a stupid question.
I wondered if the result of
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences;
is an object of XMPMeta according to "JavaScript Tools Guide.
I would say yes, because I found examples where the previous statement is followed
myDocXMP.setProperty (destNamespace, destNodeName, nodeValue);
But I would also say no, because when I'm looking for
myDocXMP.deleteProperty (destNamespace, 'CreatorTool');
ExtendScript Toolkit, I get an error message saying "myDocXMP.deleteProperty is not a function".
More I read, the more I get confused. Can you help me find a source of information for beginners? Thank you very much.
Giordano

Hello

metadatapreferences does not have a method deleteProperty()

Take a look: http://jongware.mit.edu/idcsjs5.5/pc_MetadataPreference.html

These methods belong to lib: AdobeXMPScript.

It is not as easy to manage as well. Have you tried another tool like exiftool commadline...

[JS CS3, win] Saving InDesign using app.activeDocument.save

Hello.
I have problems saving a document in InDesign using Javascript.
My goal is to have a box in the document where I type the name of the file and the path where I want to save the InDesign file (eventually it will be generated from a datamerge).
Then, I want to run a script that will read the contents of the box and then save the document to the file name or location.
At the moment I have:
SaveText.jsx
A JavaScript InDesign CS3
//
Saves the document in the provided path
get the content of the FileNameBox box on the document
var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
Save now
app.activeDocument.save ("/" + varFileName + ".indd");
Alert (app.activeDocument.filePath);
When I run the script (with 'Hello' in the FileNameBox) file changes its name on the top bar of InDesign to "Hello.indd", but (when I run the commented warning at the end) the file is not actually save anywhere.
If I close InDesign, then open it the file is listed under 'Open recent' on the menu, but clicking on it does nothing - even when the file does not exist.
Does anyone have ideas to help me to tear my hair out?
Where is my save file? (Or, if not, how can I do save!).
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

var myFolder = new Folder ("~/Desktop/Test");
If (! myFolder.exist) myFolder.create ();
var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
app.activeDocument.save (myFolder.fsName + "\" + varFileName + ".indd");
Alert (App.activeDocument.FilePath);

Illustrator Extension builder 3: app is not defined

What is Javascript or Extendscript?

If this is Javascript, you must call evalScript in the CSInterface class as below.

CSI var = new CSInterface();

csi.evalScript ("alert (app.activeDocument.name)');

Let's get out the the infamous bridgetalk activedocument

BridgeTalk is a gene. I hate the hoop jump to to get the dialog boxes and windows in the palette to interact with Illustrator.
That said, from my testing, it seems that everything that is really needed to 'bike' a script... is the active document.
In most of my scripts, it seems, if I get the active doc object so I can keep my script currently on the document in question.
I was playing with this code:
```
#target illustrator
#targetengine main

doc = function() {
  var bt;
  bt = new BridgeTalk();
  bt.target = 'illustrator';
  bt.body = 'foo()';
  bt.onResult = function(x) {
  $.writeln('result', x.body); // result[Document test.ai]
    // somehow return active document from onResult
  };
  bt.send();
};


function foo() {
  return app.activeDocument;
}


var activedoc = doc();
// do something with activedoc ...

// and later, like in a palette window button onclick:

activedoc = doc();
// keep workng on activedoc...
```
It's hard for me to explain (as I write this message in frustration), but I'm trying to think of a way to make things BT simpler than what I made (and seen) in other code.
Basically, it seems that all it takes is the activedoc. If I have the active doc then my code can continue to work on things.
The problem is BT returns a string and not an object.
Is long story short, possible for me to convert the string in the active document into a usable object?
Maybe I could parse the string for the "test.ai", then a little more code allows you to enter the "activedocument" of the name of the file object?
One of my questions make sense to anyone?
Thank you!
M
Did I mention I don't like bridgetalk? It just makes so messy script... Feels hacky to me.

but to answer you question, I don't think there's a way to transform your string into a "usable" object doc doc. In fact, you can pass the object real doc in Illustrator to javascript via BT using yourdoc.toSource (), and then rebuild the string into an object object using eval(), but you still can't talk to illustrator

Add the new page number with gaps in indesign extension app

Hi all
I develop an application for extension adobe indesign with adobe flex 3.4 sdk.
the application object is to publish the document to a remote server.
I did well all options.
now I am facing problems to Polish.
the problem is,
(1) adding new page
Let's say that a particular indesign document (portrait) contains 6 pages.
Page 1, 2 are spread
Page 3
Page 4
Page 5, 6 are spread
Now, I will add a new page through the indesign extension.
When I try to add a new page. It will add to the last page of the spread. (Page 5, 6)
Finally, he became Page 5, 6 and 7 in propagation.
What I want is.
After you have added the new page, the document must have the following structure.
Page 1, 2 are spread
Page 3
Page 4
Page 5, 6 are spread
Page 7
Is my code to add the new page.
document: var Document = app.activeDocument;
document.pages.Add ();
Please suggest me how to add a new page (without extension)
Thank you
Malaris

Try the code below

document: var Document = app.activeDocument;

document.spreads.Add ();

But make sure you use this code on a document that may be the structure of the page that had mentioned you, that is to say it must be created by unchecking the options 'facing Pages' in the dialog box new document. Otherwise, it will add two pages of the document.

This should solve your problem.

App.doc works more - stuck, please help

I'm pretty new to javascript inside Acrobat development. I had a set of scripts to the level of records who created the buttons to work. With the help of Acrobuttons, I set them up using the model type:
var oButton =
{cName: "testButton",}
cExec: DoCmdTest,.
cEnable: "event.rc = (checkValid()) «,»»
cMarked: "event.rc = false"
cTooltext: "try again!"
NPO:-1
{cLabel: "Try again"};
where the checkValid() function was defined above, something like this:
checkMyValid = {app.trustedFunction (function ()}
If (app.doc == null) {}
Console.println ('it always it is null');
Returns false;
}
other check here to see if the button should be enabled.
in which case they return true;
otherwise:
Returns false;
});
It was everything works fine, until yesterday. Suddenly, app.doc is null to everytime. And if I use app.activeDocs [0], same result.
Yet when I use the console with an open document, the app.doc and the app.activeDocuments [0] return my document.
If anyone has experienced this?
Thank you
Jack

Alternatively, you can test to see if a document is opened with:

cEnable: ' event.rc = (event.target! = null); »

[JS IDCS5 Server] app.menuActions.item ("Go to Item") .invoke ();

I have the following script applies xml attribute values to scale the image size and offset:

#include "glue code.jsx";

main();
 
function main(){

var myRuleSet = new Array (

var myYmove=myElement.xmlAttributes.itemByName("xoffset").value;
var myHeight=parseInt(myElement.xmlAttributes.itemByName("height").value);

                app.selection[0].graphics[0].verticalScale = myScale;
            app.selection = null;
     } 
catch(e){};
}
return true;
}
}

InDesign desktop it works very well. On InDesign Server, it does not work!

app.menuActions.item("Go to Item").invoke();

The line above does not work on InDesign Server because it has no interface? And the way to generate scripts to make it work?

Best regards, Sjoerd

No, no.

You do this:

app.select(myElement);
...
app.selection[0].graphics[0].move(undefined, [myYmove, myXmove]);

Never do this. If you mess with the user's selection, you're doing something wrong. It will be slow, it will mess up the State, it's probably not idempotent, and it won't work with InDesign server.

Instead, operate directly on myElement:

myElement.graphics[0].move(undefined, [myYmove, myXmove]);

(If this does not work, you may need to adjust the exact specifier or XML element you use, or use .xmlContent or whatnot.)

activeDocument null after the events focused on LCD screens

====================================================
Problem:
====================================================
Prob 1) in a TitleWindow popup, I a Dataservice oriented LCD screens that populates an ArrayCollection «pictures» collection See source below PreviewImage.mxml. On a CollectionChange event on 'photos', I have a listener "dataChangeListener(event:CollectionEvent)." In turn, this listener calls a static method NewsAgencyPhotoshop.updateMetadata (args).
When an image is open in PS, depending on the NewsAgencyPhotoshop.updateMetadata (args) get the reference of the Photoshop document active, check if it is not zero, and proceed to update the metadata of activedocument via the "info" property Example:
App: application var = Photoshop.app;
var docRef:Document = app.activeDocument;
If (docRef! = null) {}
var docInfo:DocumentInfo = docRef.info;
.....
However, every time I check if docRef is null, is null. I use the same lines of code to get a reference to the current document in other functions like close() or writeWatermark(), and in each of these cases, the docRef object is valid (non-null).
It seems that when a static function is called on the NewsAgencyPhotoshop manually by clicking a button or the activeDocument reference is good, but when calling a static function as an event listener for an event linked screens LCD LIQUID, then the activeDocument is always null.
Why?
Prob 2) I tried also to the activeDocument reference a static class variable, then the references in access to static functions. In the open function (filePath), I instantiated the class static variables, like this:
public static void open(filePath:String):void
{
App = Photoshop.app;
var file:File;
= new File (filePath);
App.Open (file);
app.activeDocument = docRef;
}
Using this approach, manual event-driven functions are working and have good docRefs, like this:
Public Shared function writeWaterMark (): void
{
App: application var = Photoshop.app;
var docRef:Document = app.activeDocument;
var myTextLayerRef:ArtLayer = docRef.artLayers.add ();
However, this works only in part with the function called by my LCDS change event listener, since the docRef is then not null it penetrates into the code block and attempts to write metadata to the activedocument, like this:
public static void updateMetadata(filePath:String,_data:Object):void
{
App: application var = Photoshop.app;
var docRef:Document = app.activeDocument;
If (docRef! = null) {}
var docInfo:DocumentInfo = docRef.info;
docInfo.copyrightNotice = data.copyrightNotice;
The problem here is that the docInfo.copyrightNotice line throws the following exception in Flash Builder:
17/02/2011 00:08:44.226 [INFO] com.adobe.csxs.stagemanager.window.impl.WindowManager routing event of type com.adobe.csxs.internally.events.BroadcastEvent to all extensions.

Steven,

You have run into a bug Photoshop Mac involving events, a description, the workaround and the library are described here:

http://cookbooks.Adobe.com/post_Creative_Suite_5_Extensions_and_Photoshop_CS5_Redu-17727.h tml

You can download the library.swf as a sample project from this page. As you've seen, the problem is that after receiving an event, the active document as well as other references of Photoshop DOM will be null. Workaround kicks Photoshop by the valid DOM, essentially re - run your function with a valid context.

As the book post was written by Bob, I used workaround often successfully, of course we are also working closely with the team of Photoshop for repair. Once again, as you have seen, it is a problem for LCD screens, but it is also necessary in frameworks such as PureMVC as well as FlexUnit.

Here is my version of a line of code, that I put at the top of each function called by these events.

If (Utilities.shouldForceClean ()) if (PsEventScrubber.getInstance () .forceClean (this, arguments, arguments.callee)! = null) return; Workaround

Note you mentioned creating a static function, with a static, you can't use 'this', simply replace this with your class:

If (Utilities.shouldForceClean ()) if (PsEventScrubber.getInstance (.forceClean (MyClassHere, arguments.callee, arguments))! = null) return; Workaround

Finally, the Utilities.shouldForceClean () is my simple check that prevents even to make the call. Although Bob wrote PsEventScrubber to do an audit of the platform, I put this to avoid calling even when not on a mac. It is also for a function that could detect bugs and avoid making the call in a future version, when it is fixed.

/**

* Utility to specifically target Photoshop Mac Bug - Ps Bug # 2584580

*/

public static void shouldForceClean(): Boolean {}

Return (flash.system.Capabilities.os.indexOf ("Mac OS") == 0);

}

Let us know how it works for you.

Iteration through the activeDocument.layers is very slow

Hello
I am trying to build a table of all visible layers currently in a document, and the only way I know how to do it is by performing an iteration (by using where loop method) app.activeDocument.layers however, the problem is it is really slow for some reason any. For 37 layers, it will sit there for about 10 to 15 seconds and the mouse pointer will fluctuate between normal and busy pointer.
A few questions:
(a) is there a better way to build the list of visible layers?
(b) why it takes so long to complete this (Note: there is only a single action in the loop that is assigning the active layer in the layers panel to l):
var layers = app.activeDocument.layers;
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i ++)
{
var l = layers [i];
}

?
Any help on this will be appreciated!
Thank you
Nate

If you have CS4, you can use the function below to get the index of the selected layers AM.
```
function getSelectedLayersIdx(){
     var selectedLayers = new Array;
     var ref = new ActionReference();
     ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
     var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
     if( desc.hasKey( stringIDToTypeID( 'targetLayers' ) ) ){
          desc = desc.getList( stringIDToTypeID( 'targetLayers' ));
          var c = desc.count
          var selectedLayers = new Array();
          for(var i=0;i
There isn't really any documentation by using the Action Manager. The javascript guide that ships with Photoshop lists the properties and methods for the action descriptor, Action reference and list of actions. And the app.object methods to convert an ID.
		   
```

app.swfExportPreferences.pageRange?

Does anyone know how to set all pages with app.swfExportPreferences.pageRange? Each documentation tells me how for example set 1-7 pages, etc... But if I want to export all pages, is there a simple value for whom?

P.S. Here's the script:

myDoc var = app.activeDocument;
app.swfExportPreferences.pageRange = PageRange.ALL_PAGES;
var myFile = new File("~/Desktop/ScriptTest.swf");
myDoc.exportFile (ExportFormat.SWF, myFile);

pageRange can be PageRange enumeration or a string, for example "1", "1-3".

app.activeDocument.revert ();
