• How to re - activate page body after working on the reference page?

  Dear friends,

  Even now I can't reproduce the following situation in a short test script:

  1. A document is opened and the script finds the existence of a page reference 'FM-calc.
  2. If found, go to step 4
  3. If it is not found, such a reference page is copied from a template
  4. Work on the reference page: replace certain paragraphs.
  5. The user does not see that the script worked on the Ref page and call a dialoge
  6. This dialog box inserts a marker at the current location
  7. The marker is inserted in the reference page where the work has been left

  How to get back to the current page of body (which is the first)?

  Just put

  var pgf = goCurrentDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
  

  before inserting the marker will not do.

  Normally the user woud the cursor in the document at a specific location, and then call the dialog box: it works very well.

  But this dialog box remains open when the user changes the document.

  In the new document, there may be no page reference, and as a result, the script creates one.

  The user clicks outside the text frame (illegal location for insertion of marker) - this can be managed with

    if (!goCurrentDoc.TextSelection.beg.obj.ObjectValid()) {
      alert ("Please place cursor in document text flow or select something!");
    return;
    }
  

  But for switching back to work on the page Ref I have not found a solution.

  Klaus,

  I think that there are better ways to handle this. The user should not have to finish the work begun your script. Why not just save the original insertion / text selection before doing a job on the reference page? Then you can restore later. Something simple like:

  var restoreTR = targetDoc.TextSelection;

  As long as the variable remains valid (IE, stays in the scope), you can do anything you want anywhere in the file, then simply return the insertion point to this place when you are finished.  If you have actually changed the view to reference pages, you can use the CurrentPage property to switch back. So, in summary, I would do something like this:

  var restoreTR = targetDoc.TextSelection;
  
  //....  do all the wild Klaus stuff on the reference pages, then;
  
  var bodyPage = targetDoc.FirstBodyPageInDoc;
  targetDoc.CurrentPage = bodyPage;
  targetDoc.TextSelection = restoreTR;
  targetDoc.ScrollToText(restoreTR);
  

  Hope this helps,

• overset text when creating background using the rectangle tool

  I met a strange problem that I can't solve alone, and I can't describe it well enough for a search engine to see if anyone else has experienced. I have a document with text and graphics on the page. I've created a header in the master document, but as soon as I tried to create a background color by dragging a rectangle on any page, it says that my header text is overset. I tried to send the bottom at the back of the document in the rearrange menu, always in excess. Tried to create the background on another layer below the text of the header... always in excess. Curiously however, when I clicked on the Red '+' symbol in the text box and click outside of it (as if I had to create a new text box to continue the overset text) will be the text magically adjusted comfortably inside its original text box (and no new text box is created). So I thought that solved the problem, but all the lines of text in the body of the document are always in excess. I have the piece longer than 100 boxes so I don't want to do it manually... and even when I try to adjust the text box to solve the problem "in excess", I have to drag the right text box at the edge of the page so that it is some text can reside outside the area covered by the master page background.

  It is clear that indesign is to see the bottom not as background at all and instead a foreground that covers the text, but what is weird is that this isn't matter if I send it to the back, and it affects all the graphic elements, text. Is it a kind of void master page that I'm missing/don't understand? Thanks for the help!

  It can be a text wrapping, try to select text block, then go to the object menu > text block Options > General > ignore the dressing.

• How do I paste text in a text block created via a master page?

  I'm struggling with InDesign CS 5.5 (on a Mac under OS 10.7.4): I'm sure it's very basic, but I just can't cope. (I'm a photographer, not a graphic designer, so a beginner with InDesign.)

  I created a series of master pages in order to throw a book it is the photos and text of 50-50. I try to paste text into a new page, based on one of my master pages of text. I can see the text box on the page as a dotted outline, but I can't seem to stick in there. When I try and click a command-V, InDesign creates rather a small square box with the first words of the text inside.

  Should I have not designed my book using templates? I thought that if I placed my graphic boxes and text (for the legends as well as the main text) on these master pages, it would be easy to fill the boxes with text and images. Rather pages based on these masters look like tempting fantasies, showing me the ghosts of real text and graphics boxes that I need for my book.

  (I already had a disastrous initial attempt to add text to my document by placing the entire file, when I knew he would still form edition - I then couldn't remove the superfluous pages without creating text doubled on the odd pages; and when I tried to dissociate things disappeared around text boxes.) I thought paste a section at a time instead would be foolproof. But not so far).

  To replace your frames of masters, if that is the route you decide to take, hold down the command + shift and click the image.

• Automatic update of the reference Pages

  Hello

  I'm new with FrameMaker10. Recently, the Agency I work with win a contract for the translation of a large number of documents in FM10. As their creator, my job is to ensure that the translated documents are as close as possible to the original.

  So my job is fairly easy. However, I have two questions:

  1. in the Pages of reference there are a few elements that recur throughout the book. Likes: Steps, subjects etc. Each chapter contains these elements in their reference Pages. Is it possible to automatically change these texts in a specific language without opening each chapter go to Pages of reference and translate manually. I Chapter 12 and 10 languages. So basically I should manually change 120 pages.

  2. a few Cross_references repeated throughout a chapter (as see Chapter XX YY page on multiple pages). Can I update one and then all cross references that are the same to update automatically? Or do I go to update their onee by one?

  Kind regards

  Sebastian

  Sebastian,

  1 create a template (for each translated language) that has the entries you want on the pages of reference. Ensure that the graphic reference frames retain the exact names of same as that used in the original Victorinox FM. Then at the book level, select all the files in the book (that require these reference pages) and the file > import > Formats, select pages of reference only, indicate the appropriate template file (it must be open) and let the FM to do all the work. Should take only a few seconds.

  2 again, in specific the language model, update the cross-reference format and import the "cross-reference Formats" of the template in the appropriate in the book files.

  You can do both at the same time.

• How to remove the default 'Contours' text when creating forms of vector layers?

  Hi all!

  You know the text, it adds to the layer name when you create forms of a vector layer who says the contours? Well, someone knows if it is possible to change it or remove it?

  It sucks to have to remove it manually, especially when there are a lot of layers and you took the time to prepare them in illustrator.

  Thankss,

  Oliver

  So the answer is no, there is no way to automate this process. There is no rename the lot for layers in AE, Illustrator, Photoshop, In Design or any other application I've ever used and that has layers.

• Please, I was faced with problems when creating a new book in Indesign CS6!

  Hello! I'm going to talk to you about my problem: I work for a COMPUTER company in the Brazil and we have developed a five - hundred page manual in Indesign CS6 software.

  Then, we decided that each chapter would be an .indd (document Indesign CS6) and that these 27 chapters would be part of a book (.) INDB).

  Finally, we got our book in the first revision (.) (PDF). In June, we copied our first revision in order to create a second.

  We recorded the second revision of the book (.) INDB) in June 2013. Now, in September, we tried to open this book, once again, to no avail...

  The second revision opens the first review! It's as if we have not saved our second revision, but I'm sure that we did.

  So, please I would like to know:

  (1) what we were wrong in this whole process of creation of new books;

  (2) if it is possible to import a PDF in Indesign CS6, because our PDF is right, but we have our unchangeable.

  I'll be grateful for any help!

  Thanks in advance!

  Making copies does not work the way you think that with books.

  A file .indb is naoual a collection of pointers to the individual files and make a copy, even if you copy individual files, not is not updated where the .indb showed up.

  There are two options here. PACKAGE the book and again work package, or make a new .indb file and add your copied .indd files.

• Tecra A10 - 1 h may not display the support page

  OK, I bought a Tecra A10 - 1 h from the local dealer here in the UAE.
  I know that I should go on the site of the Gulf to look for pilots and others, and I was able to find the model from there, but when I click on the 'Go' it gives me:

  We're sorry. The page you requested is not available.

  I get the same response when I entered the serial number instead.

  Now, when I discover that the product, the specifications mentioned on the site are close to mine, but not exactly the same thing, for example, on this page:
  http://Gulf.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/en/series/Tecra-A10-serie/1056184/
  He mentioned the graphics card like Intel® | Mobile Intel® GMA 4500MHD. But the one I have here is a Mobile 4 Series Express Chipset Family. Which is different.
  Edit: Utility Intel tells me that I have: Chipset Mobile Intel® GM45 Express. I'm confused now lol.

  I know I have to use the site of Gulf and not him Europe site, that's what I did. I don't understand why the specs on the site are different than real.

  Hi mate

  I could open without the problem of page.
  I found your laptop here and I clicked on see details
  http://Gulf.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/en/product/Tecra-A10-1hr/1075739/toshibaShop/false/

  In any case, this laptop belongs to the European series of Toshiba.

• I want to create a 2 cells in demand for numbers, the 1st cell is a dropdown menu with items of text, when choosing an item, that it would be represented by a numeric value in the other cell. How can I do?

  I want to create a 2 cells in demand for numbers, the 1st cell is a dropdown menu with items of text, when choosing an item, that it would be represented by a numeric value in the other cell. How can I do?

  You can use vlookup() like this:

  (1) crate a table like this:

  the first line is a heading row

  the first column contains the same list of items in the context menu

  the second column contains the corresponding values

  name of the table 'value '.

  

  In another table (where the pop-up menu), you can use the table of choice of 'Value' like this:

  

  create a drop-down list in cell B1

  Select cell C1 and type (or copy and paste) the formula:

  = VLOOKUP (B1, Value::A:B, 2, 0)

  short hand for this is:

  C1 = VLOOKUP (B1, Value::A:B, 2, 0)

  now change the pop-up to display the value in the change of cell C1

• Text flow create a delay when an overflow creates a new page, which prevents you from reading the page number, in error

  Hi all!

  I create a script to automatically generate a catalogue of photos; the idea is to prepare a master document with a text block in the master full of self flowing, then insert images with their legend by the script, let the system automatically creates the following pages when necessary, by a single stream of text.

  My catalog is divided into sections, each represented by a different master spread; So I know what page I work when the script put there a picture just to link the current page in the master spread appropriate.

  To simplify what I got most of my script here, using text instead of images:

  / * load a master document, only containing a block of empty text in the master spread, connected to the main text stream * /

  var doc = app.open (new File("~/Desktop/mySampleDoc.indd"));

  / * I'm working on the story, thinking that every time that the textframe of first page will be full, we will create another block of text on the next page (automatically created) * /

  var history = doc.pages [0] .textFrames [0] .parentStory;

  / * now, I put a few lines of text in history, pending the creation of a new on the first page will be complete * /

  for (var i = 0; i < 100; i ++) {}

  / * This is the following line: * /.

  .silence story.insertionPoints [-1] = "This is line n." + i + "\r";

  / * here, I want to know what page is the line just created (the error is generated here just in the creation of the new page + block of text) */

  Thispage = story.insertionPoints [-1] .parentTextFrames [0].parentPage.documentOffset;

  / * and now I print the page number * /.

  story.insertionPoints.item(-1).contents = "current page:"+ thispage + "\r"; ".

  }

  The big problem is: when the first block of text is full and overflow is generated, a new page with a new block of text from the main text flow (as the master spread) is generated. but it seems my script requests the page number before the new page with the new text block is born and an error is given.

  It seems that the script goes too fast regarding the creation of the new page.

  If I remove the line thispage = story.insertionPoints [-1] .parentTextFrames [0].parentPage.documentOffset; everything is ok.

  I tried to introduce a delay up to 3 seconds with no effect.

  I tried also to view or zoom in the request of page number, thought new page to force the system to wait for the page is truly born, also without effect (by the way, I wasn't able to view the page in adding the script of the text!).

  Can someone help me?

  A big thank you to everyone

  Hello, unfortunately the reformatting of the text now does that if you double click on a portion of text (and when the feature is enabled under settings). This was an intentional change in firefox for android 24.

• Assignment of roles to the user when creating the user

  Hi all
  
  I gave a roll deposited (< dsp:input bean = "ProfileFormHandler.value.roles.role" maxsize = "30" size = "30" type = "text" / > on the registration page.) After registration, each field in db except role (table dps_role).
  Pls let me know what I am doing wrong.
  
  Thank you

  You should not assign roles to the user as 'ProfileFormHandler.value.roles.role' of 's profile. You can link formhandler property to which you can pass the name or id of the role that you want to assign role assignment must always route through safety ATG API in order to properly update the mappings of Homeland Security. Because of these dependencies, you should not try the role of simply call profile.setPropertyValue ('roles',...) The code cannot fail this way, but if you assign the role in this way then it may not work as expected when checking for role based privileges. Here's one possible way to do it:

  1. in your file properties formhandler declare a dependency on the directory of the default user, which by default points to the profile database:

  userDirectory = / atg/userprofiling/ProfileUserDirectory

  So, in the form Manager, you declare corresponding setUserDirectory() and getUserDirectory().

  2 then in the formhandler, get the DirectoryPrincipal objects associated with the user profile and the role you want to assign and then assign the role to the user:

  import atg.userdirectory.UserDirectory;
  import atg.userdirectory.DirectoryPrincipal;
  import atg.userdirectory.User;
  import atg.userdirectory.Role;
  import atg.userdirectory.DirectoryModificationException;
  
  import java.util.Collection;
  import java.util.Iterator;
  
  ..
  ..
  
  private boolean assignRoleToUser(String roleName, String userId) {
  
    UserDirectory userDirectory = getUserDirectory();
    DirectoryPrincipal userPrincipal = userDirectory.findUserByPrimaryKey(userId);
    DirectoryPrincipal rolePrincipal = userDirectory.getRoleByPath(roleName);
  
    User user = (User)userPrincipal;
  
    Collection collection = userDirectory.getRoles();
  
    boolean status = false;
  
    Iterator iter = collection.iterator();
    while(iter.hasNext())
    {
      Object obj = iter.next();
      if(obj instanceof Role) {
        Role role = (Role)obj;
        if(roleName.equals( role.getName() ) && user!=null) {
          try {
            status = user.assignRole(role);    //will return true if the role was added otherwise false
          }
          catch (DirectoryModificationException e) {
         //handle exception
          }
          break;
        }
      }
    }
    return status;
  }
  

  In the code above 'roleName' parameter is the name of the role to be assigned to the profile with the id as "userId". If you want to do the role assignment when creating the user, then you can do the things above in postCreateUser() so that you can get the Principal associated with the profile. For more information about the interfaces and classes used here, you can refer to the documentation of the API of the ATG.
