Automatic placement with IDML

I am writing a VB program to convert a text file to an IDML file. I started by generating a a page, page 8-1/2 "x 11 in InDesign with 1" margins on all four sides. I have a block of text on this page. I saved the file to the IDML format, unzipped with package.bat and use this set of files XML as a model, where I basically replace the file in the history with the file converted in my program and then he zip with package.bat to create a new IDML file.

What I have a problem, namely is how automatic text formatting. I added the following attributes to the element TextPreference in Preferences.xml:

AutoPageDeletion = "true" AutoPageInsertion = "AtEndOfStory" EnableDynamicAutoflow = "true".

However, they do not seem to do anything. Any suggestions? Thank you!

As the said substances, these settings are applied just like document preferences. So, if you were to open your IDML document in InDesign, and then importing text, he would obey the settings that you had specified.

However, if you want to succeed with your strategy, you need to be responsible for creating additional pages, as well as blocks of text through which history must elapse. It may be easier to say that since your process may not easily be able to determine how many additional pages is necessary.

You might consider a script approach to 'clean up' the document once it is finally open in InDesign or InDesign Server...

  • Automatically place a marker on a graph

    How can I automatically place a "marker" on a XY Chart? I want to emphasize a few points on the graph have been other events take place.

    I would like to place a marker and a note at this point as "X happened here" and "Z happened here" that the graph is generated.

    The table is exported to an image at the end and it is given to clients who are interested when these events occurred.

    According to me, you want a 'slider' not a 'marker '. Check out the property "Cursor List" of the "XY graph", discovered by the terminal of the graph right click block diagram and by selecting "Create" and then "property Node" then "list of cursor. This allows you to read or write all of the sliders of the chart. If you have the sliders created by the user already that you are not able to play with, first read the "cursor" list (read Scripture can be selected by right-clicking the property that you want to change and selecting 'Change to Read' and 'Change to write' respectively), then add your new cursor in the table using insert into table or build table (insert into is my favorite). The "Cursor List" property is an array of clusters giving you the ability to define more than information on the slider you probably you have always wanted, including or not display the text on the slider, text for the center of color, position xy etc... Let me know if I can be more useful.

  • Place with autoflow file

    I want to place a set of RTF files in a new document (created within my VB.NET program) with the following statement, so the text in each file follows the previous text in a connected chain:

    CType (BodyFrame.ParentStory.InsertionPoints.Item (-1), InDesign.InsertionPoint). Place (ImportFilePath)

    How to make it to the automatic placement of the text? For now he stops at the bottom of the text frame on the first page (only defined in the document) and entitles the red box of overset text in the bottom corner of the text block.

    If I use the method of location of the page, there is an optional parameter to specify the text of "automatic formatting", but the method of location of text frame has this optional parameter.

    Thank you!

    Hi Dan,.

    Also I am not able to set primaryTextFrame property of master spread, this seems to be a bug.

    But for your workflow, you can choose workarounds as defined either property of frame for the main text of the application as true so that new documents have primary text frame in it.

    app.documentPreferences.createPrimaryTextFrame = true


    Another is if you don't specifically want to reflow text smart to work only with the primary text block then you can activate for text blocks normal uncheck "limits to the primary text blocks."

    app.activeDocument.textPreferences.limitToMasterTextFrames = false

    Thank you

    Had to do a restoration complete my xp machine and will not update, in the past, system automatically updated with cartridges of siema etc service?

    What is happening, it is that it is so more the possibility of a user friendly hands on automatic update of Windows XP from a clean install.  Windows Update will NOT synchronize with and updated in the current order status to update a machine with a clean install of XP, but you separately download some patches and intermediate updates and apply them manually, to have a machine that connects a bit normally with Windows Update.

    Install the last update cumulative security for the version of Internet Explorer you have currently is essential, and you need to download separately and install it before going any further.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2888505

    Scroll to the information file for XP and Server 2003

    Download the file corresponding to your version of Internet Explorer and install first.

    It is also highly recommended that you install Firefox because IE8 is limited, probably compromised and sometimes useless and will crash on many sites, including Microsoft sites, including linked just above.

    Thanks for your help!

    Although your idea is a solution is not complete, it gives me a good idea to solve the problem.
    My solution is to change my coding over a part of the first horizontalfieldmanger:

    HorizontalFieldManager hfm1 = new HorizontalFieldManager()

    {

    public int getPreferredWidth()

    {

    Returns the value 100;

    }

    protected void sublayout (int maxWidth, maxHeight int) {}

    Super.sublayout (getPreferredWidth(), maxHeight);

    LeftField RadioButtonField = getLeftButton();

    If (leftField! = null & is equal to (leftField.getManager ())) {}

    int x = 0;

    int y = 0;

    setPositionChild (leftField, x, y);

    }

    }

    };

  • Captivate 9 slide advance automatically even with bar reading custom

    Hello!

    All of a sudden, my courses advance automatically, even with my bar of custom games. It happen before with my previous modules.

    I'm sure that I forgot to check or uncheck something, but I can't seem to understand.

    I enclose the screenshots of the chronology, in addition to the slide.

    2016-09-27_14-55-312016-09-27_14-55-58

    The PlayBar buttons are set to the rest of the project.

    Don't know what I did wrong, as my other modules are configured in the same way and are working properly. -Which means that I have to click on the next button to move to the next screen. It does not automatically advance to the next slide.

    Thank you very much

    Julie

    I don't see any point of suspension in the buttons. Normally I expect a suspension for the next button point (possibly also for the back button at the same time, if one of these buttons never can be hidden)

    As far as I saw, most of the smartphones will automatically recognize it these days, as long as the number is written in a format of regular phone number. This format also allows to make images or text other than a telephone number in a tap to call the link.
