• Can't add placeholder text data merge for all blocks of text on the document

  I'm trying to put together a script that loops if all pages in an indesign file, search all text frames label caption1, caption2, caption3... (whenever you get to a new page, the number of text images label starts again from 1) and add a placeholder in the text data fusion: caption1, caption2, caption3... but this time, when you get to a new page the number continues to go... caption4, caption5 and so on.

  Page 1 - image text = caption1 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption1 > >

  Page 1 - image text = caption2 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption2 > >

  Page 1 - image text = caption3 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption3 > >

  page 2 - text = caption1 = image tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption4 > >

  page 2 - image text = caption2 = tag > data merge placeholder = < < caption5 > >

  Currently, the script is adding placeholder text merge data only for the two text frames first (out of 6) on a page (about 8 pages) and just the first image of text on the page two (out of 3)

  Any help will be greatly appreciated

  Here's the script:

  myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

  -SOURCE DATA CALLS FUSION

  main();

  main() {} function

  myDataSource var = File.openDialog ("Please select a datamerge source", "text files: * .txt");

  If (myDataSource! = null) {}

  myDocument.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource (myDataSource);

  myDocument.dataMergeProperties.dataMergePreferences.recordsPerPage = RecordsPerPage.MULTIPLE_RECORD;

  }

  }

  -MERGE OF DATA FIELD

  function get_field (captionString, myDocument) {}

  fields var = myDocument.dataMergeProperties.dataMergeFields;

  for (var f = 0, l = fields.length; e < l; f ++) {}

  If (fields [f] .fieldName == captionString) {}

  Returns the fields [f];

  }

  }

  Alert ("error: did not find all the fields with the name" + field_name);

  }

  THE TEXT - ADD PLACEHOLDER DATA MERGE

  var countFrames = 1;

  for (i = 0; i < myDocument.pages.length; i ++) {/ / TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES in the DOCUMENT}

  var capPerPage = 1;

  for (x = 0; x < myDocument.pages [i].textFrames.length; x ++) {//COUNT TEXT TOTAL IMAGES PER PAGE

  If (myDocument.pages [i] .textFrames [x] .label < 0) {}

  Alert ('can not find any image caption');

  } ElseIf (.textFrames [x] myDocument.pages [i] .label == 'caption' + capPerPage) {//IF IT IS A TEXT LABEL of IMAGE 'caption1' EXECUTE

  var captionString = "caption" + countFrames;

  var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages [i] .textFrames [x];

  var myDataMergeProperties = myDocument.dataMergeProperties;

  var myTextFrame.parentStory = monarticle;

  var myStoryOffset = myTextFrame.parentStory.insertionPoints [-1];

  var myNamePlaceHolder = myDocument.dataMergeTextPlaceholders.add (monarticle, myStoryOffset, get_field (captionString, myDocument)); ADD DATA FUSION TEXT HOLDER TO THE TEXT BLOCK

  countFrames ++; INCREASE THE NUMBER TO ADD DATA FUSION TEXT PLACEHOLDER FOR THE NEXT BLOCK OF TEXT

  capPerPage ++;

  }

  }

• Why States don't work not on view of Tablet for blocks of text on the background image?

  I have a Macbook Pro with Top high S/W config everything up to date.

  With the help of Muse.

  View the site of the tablet.

  Simple text box buttons with States on a picture background full width - WORK only!

  The buttons of the text frame are in the UPPER layer.

  Visible but do not respond to touch everything. At least I have remove the background image.

  
  

  Cannot understand the days.

  
  

  Help, please.

  
  

  Thank you

  
  

  Eli @.
  

  MUSE STAFF!

  I found a major bug that should be fixed:

  For the Tablet:

  A button image or text-related State should be in the upper layer to meet the States.

  If a composition menu is opening and covering the button when triggered - THE BUTTON WILL NOT RESPOND EVEN IF THE COMPOSITION IS CLOSED!

  Only if the button is PLACED over the composition of the layer and becomes the OBJECT absolute TOP in the layer - THEN ONLY he will answer.

  PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU GOT IT.

  I tested it on a few projects and the bug is consistent.

  Thanks to its fixation in the near future

• Paragraph styles works does not properly on the table

  I placed a table created in Word, and then on the application of my paragraph styles.  However, not all my styles work fine.  Specifically my style of Description of the tool which includes a nested style.  The nested style does not follow the rules, given that it is.  The name of the tool should in Helvetica Neue Condensed Medium (in uppercase) while the next Description the en dash should be Helvetica Neue Light Condensed (normal caps).  On the contrary, it seems that the middle is applied randomly in the whole of the description.

  Also, when I apply my style request said I find myself with a lot of pink highlighted text implying that the police is missing when it is clearly not column.  This could be due to the recommended symbol?  Any advice on how to work around these issues?  See the picture below which shows the two questions.

  I do this in Word or CO-OPERATE?

  InDesign. You should be able to clear overrides from the paragraph Styles Panel menu.

  Check for character styles applied, you don't want to, also, if something is still wobbly.

• Paragraph style does not take into account the style options

  I'm changing the style to a paragraph style options in InDesign CS6, but the changes are not applied to text that uses this paragraph style.

  My paragraph style is called copy, and it of Helvetica Neue (TT), size 10 pt and pt 12 leading. I open the window Options of paragraph for the style Style and change the size 8pt and leading him to 9,6 pt; However the text does not change. Even if I save these Options in paragraph Style and then re - open this window again, the window shows the new values. There is also no "+" that displays next to the paragraph style of copy in the paragraph Styles Panel, so it is not substitutions.

  If I replace the style of paragraph copy by manually changing the size and head, the changes are applied to the text, so I don't think that there is a limitation of Helvetica Neue invovled.

  Any idea?

  A common reason for this is that a character style has been applied to the whole paragraph in addition to the paragraph style.

• can we define the auto size property for blocks of text through jsx?

  is it possible to set automatic size property for blocks of text through jsx. This option is present in the dialog box type options in illustartor.

  To open the dialog box.

  Select a textFrame-> Type-> area type Options. -> now see property auto size check box.

  Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Upendra

  We can set the auto sizing preference:

  app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("text/autoSizing",
    !app.preferences.getBooleanPreference("text/autoSizing"));
  

  You must run the script before adding tetFrames.

• Heights of game for all the blocks of text in a document

  Looking to do something seemingly simple. I want all the blocks of text in my document to the same height.

  Here's where I am.

  app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem () .height = "2.3195 in."

  Note: I work in InDesign CS5.

  Any help on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

  Or, in the CS6 and later*:

  var NEW_HEIGHT = '2.3195 in';
  
  // MULTIPLE RESIZE() IN ONE STEP
  // =============================
  app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().resize(
  
      // Target bounding box(es) -- Use OUTER_STROKE_BOUNDS if needed
      // ---
      [CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, BoundingBoxLimits.GEOMETRIC_PATH_BOUNDS],
  
      // Reference point -- Here resize is performed relative to the top edge
      // ---
      AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR,
  
      // Absolute replacement
      // ---
      ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,
  
      // [width, height] in points
      // ---
      [ResizeConstraints.KEEP_CURRENT_VALUE, +UnitValue(NEW_HEIGHT).as('pt')]
      );
  

  * Can operate CS5. x too, but I think remember that CS4 has a bug where resize() is a plural specifier whose receptors belong to several blocks spread.

• How can I create a series of blocks of text using the Excel list values?

  It is first of all, the first script I am trying to write from scratch. I'm completely green at the script and I picked up a few bits of ID Adobe scripting guide, but nothing has really stuck still relating to this particular goal.

  My supervisor maintains a master list of advertising space, with the name of the account, is the width of the space, and how space is the height, in an Excel sheet. These spaces can number in the hundreds, and I'm stuck manually drawing a rectangle for each space, which takes a lot of time.

  I would like to create / helped to create a script that will take these values and "magically" to draw these spaces in the form of blocks of text, with the width (in columns) and the height (in inches) defined by the values in the main list, as well as the name of each account in the subsequent text frames.

  The script didn't necessarily need to be able to pull the values directly from the Excel sheet; Can I transfer a file text if necessary, or directly in the script, values he change because I need it. A great thing (if she is not able to pull directly from an Excel sheet) which is the number of spaces a week changes, and so do the accounts and the width and height. Accordingly, it would be ideal that values of the sheet could be modified easily, in order to create a new set of spaces as necessary.

  Positioning for each space is not crucial, only the height and width. If they were all on top of each other on the same page, it is a result for me. The main idea is to not have to draw them all manually, one by one.

  For me, this looks like a command, but I hope that some experienced there Scripting Guys can help me, because I want to become experienced as well.

  Thus, the TL; DR version:

  -Script to draw a series of text blocks.

  -Size of the text boxes should be defined by the values width and height of spreadsheet Excel.

  -Text blocks must have the account name as content (from account in the Excel worksheet names).

  -Accounts, width and height changes every week in the Excel sheet, so must be relatively easy to exchange all values.

  -Width values on the Excel worksheet columns. It would be ideal that the script could turn those numbers into multiples of columns as necessary.

  -Script (optionally) can take values directly from Excel sheet.

  -Script (option) can set the fill color for the gray text frame. (If it works as I think, I could just select all the resulting images of the text myself and put them all to grey at the same time... I'm not lazy as )

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help in any way possible, even if it's just a little push in the right direction. This script will save 1 to 2 hours of boredom every week.

  Look like the perfect thing for the InDesign scripting.

  I copy content from Excel to a text file, for a format easily read in InDesign, and there will automatically be a TAB for each 'cell', just using copy and paste.

  Here is a piece of code, perhaps you could go on with (the addition of variable to change pages and the location on the page and other things).

  The readFileLineByLine function, can be easily reused with any function using "recall". You simply tell the function what you want to be executed for each line of text that reads:

  const COLUMN_WIDTH = 2; // Define the column width in inch
  
  var pageIndex;
  var textFramesExported; // not implemented.
  
  // Add a new dokument. Set myDoc to app.activeDocument to use
  // the current document instead of creating a new one.
  var myDoc = app.documents.add();
  
  // The doSomethingWithTextRow function is called upon for every line of text read.
  readFileLineByLine('c:\\test.txt', doSomethingWithTextRow);
  
  function doSomethingWithTextRow(row){
      // We expect the text line to be TAB separated (\t = TAB). We get that from just copying the contents of an
      // excel file into a text document.
      var cells = row.split('\t');
      var companyName = cells[0]; // The Company name in the first slot of the array
      var width = COLUMN_WIDTH * cells[1];
      var height = cells[2];
  
      // Create a new text frame for every row handled
      if (pageIndex==undefined) pageIndex = 0; // Count up when you have exported a number of texts, I leave this for you to do.
      var newTextFrame = myDoc.pages[pageIndex].textFrames.add();
      newTextFrame.contents = companyName;
  
      // The text frame is created in the top left corner.
      newTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, height + ' in', width + ' in']; // Top, Left, Bottom, Right 
  
      // You might want to move the textframes to other positions, keeping track of how many you put out per page.
      newTextFrame.move( [10, 10] );
  }
  
  function readFileLineByLine(path, callbackFn){
      var myFileIn = new File(path);
      if (File.fs == 'Windows'){
          // This was probably added to recognize UTF-8 (even without its start marker?)
          myFileIn.encoding = 'UTF-8';
      }
      myFileIn.open('r');
      var myEncoding = myFileIn.encoding;
      try{
          if (!myFileIn.exists){
              throw('Missing file: ' + myFileIn.fsName)
          }
          var ln = '';
          while(!myFileIn.eof){
              // Read the lines from the file, until an empty line is found [now as a remark].
              ln = myFileIn.readln()
              // if(ln !='' && ln!='\n'){
                 // Call the function supplied as argument
                 callbackFn(ln);
              // }
          }
      }catch(e){
          alert(e);
          gCancel = true;
      }
      finally{
          myFileIn.close();
      }
  }
  

  The file in C:\ in my example was recorded in UTF-8 format and looks like this (showing hidden characters):

• find and delete blocks of text with the same geometricBounds

  Hi writer... .new question from here:

  mySelection var = app.activeDocument.selection [0] .geometricBounds;

  alert (mySelection);

  throughout the document, I need search and delete blocks of text with the same geometricBounds.

  If possible, the same dimensions, but not the same positions.

  Thanks for the help!

  OK Bala... .in to decimal differences, some executives have not been removed.

  I solved with "Math.round' instead of 'number '.

  ===================

  mySelection var = app.activeDocument.selection [0] .geometricBounds;

  var myWidth = Math.round(mySelection[3]-mySelection[1]);

  var myHeight = Math.round(mySelection[2]-mySelection[0]); Alert (myHeight);

  var allFrames = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

  While (t = allFrames.pop ()) {}

  {if (t.IsValid)}

  var myTextframe = t.geometricBounds;

  var myTWidth = Math.round(myTextframe[3]-myTextframe[1]);

  var myTHeight = Math.round(myTextframe[2]-myTextframe[0]);

  If ((myWidth == myTWidth) & (myHeight == myTHeight)) {}

  t.Remove ();

  }

  }

  }

  ===================

  Now, your script works great!

  Thank you very much!

• CS5 - most effective way to wire and independent streams of two blocks of text in the same document?

  Greetings...

  I am responsible for creating a 100-page instructor guide and I looking for a little guidance in the use of independent text blocks that thread the length of the document.  The idea behind the use of two columns, is that the first column (left) must be used for the notes 'instructor-only', advice, etc..  The second column (right) should be used for the text of the student guide.  Two columns (or blocks of text) would need to move independently of each other.  In other words, when the left column is filled with text placed on the page, the flow of additional text in the left column on page two, left column on page three, etc.  Same thing applies to the right column.  There is no link or thread of the text between the two columns on the same page.

  I tried to reproduce this in a two-column table format, however, the table row height is limited and overset text will not continue the table in the block of text on the next page.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Set up master page text frames.

  If you use facing pages, put on the student to the student and executive trainer instructor on master pages.

  Be very careful when your document is redéroule however. Take a look at this discussion, we had recently on the subject:

• Apply a paragraph style for the XML elements that have a specific attribute

  (1) I am an almost complete noob when it comes to XML
