Auto Import text - medium easy?

Hello!

I wonder if there are scripts available for importing text automatically?

I have 3 boxes they are labeled A, B, c...  I would like the script to import word files and place them in these boxes...

Folder - goes in A box, etc...

Any tips?

Thank you

This will be useful for you

myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

var aFile = File("~/Desktop/a.txt")

BFILE var = File("~/Desktop/b.txt")

CFile var = File("~/Desktop/c.txt")

If (! afile.exists:! bfile.exists:! cfile.exists)

{

Alert ("file missing text... »)

}

on the other

{

myDoc.textFrames.item("a").parentStory.insertionPoints.item (-1) .place (afile);

myDoc.textFrames.item("b").parentStory.insertionPoints.item (-1) .place (bfile).

myDoc.textFrames.item("c").parentStory.insertionPoints.item (-1) .place (cfile);

}

  • Why auto import does not work?

    As shown in the Panel LR file to 'auto import' is not sensible. To set up a control folder requires it to be empty, but announces that he will feel a card (which will have folders) in a location on the computer. Then the Setup program indicates the folder must be empty.

    Try to make all this work, I put an empty card in the slot and for the installer selected empty folder DCIM/100EOS7D of the card. LR who agreed that the folder is empty. Then allowing with the box in the upper part has been accepted by LR. But when I tried to eject the empty map, I got an error message that the card was in use (no other programs to use it). So I had to close and restart LR, and it can eject then OK.

    Then, I put a map with photos in the folder DCIM/100EOS7D into this slot and waited and waited. No LR reaction, which was already running (CC 6.3 on Win 7 Pro).

    I am sure I do not what is expected, but I tried over and over again in the course of the years and never managed to do work. Why don't the treat of instructions of installation using a card slot and use words that describe what will happen with the card when inserted? If it takes the installer with an empty map, say so. But I proved that is not enough, or not right in the first place.

    If anyone has this work, I'll be happy to read about a process that works. The published data are totally confused. J Kost video has nothing about it and huge book of same V Bampton just repeats the instructions from Adobe. Thanks in advance for fixing this.

    The "Watched" folder must be located in your computer system. For example. on the desktop. (Not on the camera card or a connected camera)

    You must use the operating system to do drag or copy & paste the images from the camera card to the 'Watched' folder using the software of the camera or just with Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder.

    Then when Lr is running it will take images of the "Watched" folder and import them into the catalogue and the "Destination" folder

    So "watched" folder on the hard drive of the computer. (Desktop computer is handy!)

    For anyone who uses a scanner setting up the scanner can set an output folder - this could be the "Watched" folder and each scan would be automatically added to the catalog.

  • Auto import grayed out

    I have a new Canon 7 d Mark II, which is not supporated by Lr5 Tethered Shooting for now. Studying, I found a feature I wasn't aware, Auto Import. I have instructions on how to put in place where I that would use the EOS utility to capture and save a picture in a folder and if properly Lr Auto import would then import the image in Lr. sounds good, but turn on Auto import in the menu file is gray, everything that can be clicked auto import settings. If I click that, when the option screen opens at the top there is a checkbox to activate the automatic import who is also grayed out.

    Can someone help/make a suggestion?

    Kenn, you must initialize the parameters in the parameters dialog box. This indicates LR where to find images and how to import them. Once you fill in the parameters, the 'Enable' option will be active and you can select.

  • Import text data into text with script level file fields


    I use Adobe 9 professional and have a level of javascript file import text into the existing fields of a pdf document.

    There are several fields with multiple lines of data to import.

    The folder level script does not work (but there is no error in the console showing when operating)

    I manually tested the file opening text with the following code in the console and the text file opens and fills text fields, so the text file must be correct:

    this.importTextData ();

    The following code is the folder level script that does not work:

    function mailmergeFunction()

    {


    Import the first line of data of "Mailmerge.txt".

    this.importTextData ("of/h/mailing/Jo Smith Things / Mailmerge.txt", 0)


    If (typeof cnt == 'undefined') cnt = 0;
    this.importTextData ("of/h/mailing/Jo Smith Things / Mailmerge.txt", cnt ++ % 4)

    }


    app.trustedFunction (mailmergeFunction);

    app.addToolButton ({cName: "Mailing", cExec: "mailmergeFunction ()", cTooltext: "Mailing", cEnable: true, NPO: 14});

    If anyone can please provide assistance, it will be more appreciated thanks.

    Try using an app.beginPriv () just before the importTextData statement and a statement of app.endPriv () afterwards. Don't forget to restart Acrobat after you change the JavaScript file.

  • Auto Import - Initial preview STOP?

    Hi, how can I stop the initial preview jumping to the most recent image that was imported?

    My configuration is:

  • Auto Import: why LR passes the imported file to 'Auto imported photos "?

    If I put a picture in the control folder, why duplicate in another folder?  After importing, I seem to have the photo image file in two places.

    She should move (do not copy) from the folder of control to the destination folder. Can you provide a screenshot of your auto import settings?

    Also confirm your permissions of the watched and the destination folders. I bet you need read/write on the control record must be able to move because it is essentially the removal after copying. But I expect some kind of error message in this case.

    I Diagram a guide business , they have something called a sign (letreiro) , this sign has 3 lines. The first line is entirely capital, and the third is standard, the second is compressed.

    what I want not know is so have means of import text (normally we have some 400 sign, 1200 lines) in the 6 InDesignand automate the style for these lines 3

    Is something like this:

    this method would be facilitate a LOT for me

    Thank you

    Your English is very good - much better than my Portuguese

    There are several ways to do so. One way is to simply import all the text normally. Make three paragraph styles and set the Style in each of them. So FirstLine has the next Style of say, say the next Style of dictations and dictated was the next first line Style. Select all text at once, then click the first name of style in the paragraph Styles Panel, and then click "Apply FirstLine, then next Style."

  • Import text from a txt file.

    Hey guys,.

    I'm looking for a way to import text from a .txt file, but I'm totally lost. If someone could point me in the right direction would be great

    Hi Prails
    This script is basically what you asked:

    #target illustrator

    main #targetengine

    function copyText() {}

    text var file is File.openDialog ('select file');.

    If (! textFile.exists | app.documents.length == 0) {}

    return;

    };

    textFile.open ("r");

    var txtContent = textFile.read ();

    textFile.close ();

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var textItem = doc.textFrames.add ();

    textItem.contents = txtContent

    };

    copyText ();

    Basically what you need to do is to declare the text file, open, read and close it. Then, you create a new text element in the Illustrator document and write content once caught in the text element.

    You can continue to work with the variable 'textItem' in my example script if you want to set properties such as size, text color, position and so on. Also, if you wish, replace the first line of the function var textFile = new file ("" ~ / Desktop/Test.txt ' "); textFile var = File.openDialog ("select the file"); so the script opens a dialog box asks you the file you want to copy the content.

    Hope to be helped

    Best regards

  • Can Lightroom auto import of the subfolders in a folder of control?

    I have a job "watched folder", implemented through Lightroom's auto import settings.  When I place an image in this folder, it is imported in my lightroom catalog.

    However, if I put a folder of images in this folder of control (i.e. "James and Stephanie" is put in a 'marriage' case), nothing happens.  I don't want all my images in one folder; That's why I have Lightroom, so they can be organized into folders but collected in a database.

    I do not understand why Lightroom wants to go automatic image import to a destination folder.

    I would like to file a case in the 'watched' folder and have Lightroom Import (without moving the image) in my catalog.

    I was surprised not to find this question in Internet research; It is terribly obvious, or is there a better way that I'm not familiar with?

    Thank you!

    The control record is largely for simple images to be embedded in an external application of attachment, import and travel in a designated folder catalogued.  LR is not a way to visualize a folder tree.  You can use sync the folder for it.
