Create an object Style that sets out a framework to an exact size?

I know I can use a style object to insert the contents of the frame, but what to make a frame one size I need using a style object?

I am trying to automate my workflow a bit more. I work at a small magazine and we have 7 sizes different options for ads. Our quarter page ads are 3.875 x 5, for example, and I would like to create a style for the pages of quarter which is exactly this size and fits the content to the boot image. We try to create all the ads to the size, but sometimes the deadline, we get ads ready camera through to the last possible moment that are only a fraction off so appropriate to the framework is not a problem, but from now on as long as the frame is 3.875 x 5 for a quarter, 8,625 x 11,125 for full page, etc..

If a customer changes sizes add us a link to the new announcement in the new spot, and adjust each box manually. It becomes tedious to check every ad and correcting sizes and locations one since we have hundreds of ads per magazine and 3 magazines every month. (we will add more than 3 magazines in a year so I need to get this whipped into shape!)

Finally, I would like to create a script/scripts to automate my workflow more, but my first step is trying to figure out if I can have a specific image applied with a Style of object size.

If im going to this topic in the wrong, is there a better way to do it?

If you have CS5 you can configure the States of the object.

If you set 1 state object to a size to say the big announcement.

Then object state 2 to the size of the media

Object state 3 to be size small

and so on

You can then select the State of the necessary object for advertising - and import the ad in this way - and each State of the object may have its own frame mounting Options to automatically scale the image to correct the proportion.

This should work pretty well - even though I don't him have not completely tested.

  • I created an object style to set the distance of the legend of my photos, but the distance is not consistent from one image to the image.

    I create a complex book with many images and chapters.

    I created the object styles to compensate for the distance the images for legends, but the distance changes according to how the image is adjusted within the framework and I don't know what dictates change. Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you.

    I have not marked as correct answer because it is not related to what you have actually done, which has been reset to the scale. Your problem seems to come from having defined preference generally by climbing, adjust the percentage.

    2 position the wood grain image above or below the shape where you want it positioned.

  • Confused about replacement of the object style that I can't understand

    Hello

    So I'll try to understand and to clean up a book a bit messy, I inherited (lots of inconsistent style and replacements). There are a bunch of boxes that have a style of object applied to them, but seem to have odd substitutions, which I can't understand how even got implemented Medallion.

    In particular, they have a substitution of "text frame General Options (spacing inset at left; Inset spacing on the right. I can't understand how you can even replace the object for this style.

    Even more strange, the paragraph style has a right of withdrawal. 0625 "and the withdrawal to the left of 0, but on the screen, I see the left indent is also. 0625 ". Even if it is not specified anywhere.

    Inside the style, is the inset spacing. 0.25 "right and left 25" and it's actually how the text is aligned. But it is clear lines on screens as if there is a left and right inset of 0,1875 "and a withdrawal of paragraph 0,0625 on both sides, when styles don't say this.

    Why do I care about all this? Well, I need to convert this CS6, and when I did, I found an extra. 0625 "Indent on the right side causing overset text. This led me down this rabbit hole.

    I know I have to get rid of all completely replacements and I intend to do at some point, but I can't do it right now for reasons of time, and I'm also actually really curious what is happening here. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    You have shown a paragraph style, but not necessarily one that is actually used. I have no way of knowing what calls for the definition of object style (but I see a substitution for the paragraph style), or what style is assigned to the text in this framework.

    Messed up, it is probably a good description of the current state, but to understand what is wrong, you will have to dig into what is really defined as opposed to what the appeal of styles to, then delete the replacements or redefine styles to give you what you want and probably some of both.

    You can use find/replace to find a style and replace it with itself to remove the replacements, I recall.

  • How to create a paragraph style that I can change the space between the paragraphs of return?

    Sample.jpg

    Yes, and you can see the additional empty paragraphs. You must use find/replace to delete (there is an application integrated in the drop-down list in the dialog box).

    If you need space between, you'll need to have styles of paragraph two, one for the name of the company and one for the address info and hours. Apply space before the name or space after the address.

  • Object style

    Stupid question: I created an object style that works well for more, but the object is still a chart and I want to be a text. I can't find the way to tell this object to be always the text exactly.

    What the object starts as depends on what tool you use to create the framework initially.

    If you use the Rectangle Frame (F) tool, you get a graphic image (the one with X showing).

    If you use the Rectangle (M), then you get an unassigned frame (one will detect an X and not a block of text).

    If you use the text tool (T), then you get an empty text block.

    Assuming you have set your default object style, the last two of the three tools above should create a framework usign the style of the requested object. For the graphic frame, it is defaulted to no style.

    This is the behavior I have with CS4.

  • Object Style options is missing options that exist in the Options of the Export Object

    I noticed that when I select the object Export Options, there are more options available than in the object (InDesign CC 2014, Build 10.0.0.70) Style of Options. In particular, I am interested on the options for custom CSS width and height. It would be much easier to create an object style with custom CSS width and height values that define the same setting for each object separately. Any reason why this is so? I don't know no personal Adobe following these forums but I hope they see this gap in their product.

    Thank you for your contributions. Actually implement this feature we were bit confused if it is more important to have these options in the object Styles. This is why you are missing here.

    But comments from you and a few other people, made us realize that we should have it in object styles too.

  • Creating an object with a script style

    I slowly teach me scripting, but my first script has a bug that I can't fix. Part of it creates an object called a "plain text" style that has certain qualities. One of these attributes is that the first offset base should be "attached" to a certain leader. When I run the script in InDesign CS3, sometimes it works and the first base offset is "fixed", but sometimes this does not work and the first base line offset remains at the default of "rise." I need to work in InDesign CS4, too, but it does not there at all. I looked into the DOM, but it seems that everything is coded correctly.

    Here is a part of the script. What Miss me?

    Create the object style "plain text".
    var myPlainTextObjectStyle = myDocument.objectStyles.add ();
    {with (myPlainTextObjectStyle)}
    name = "plain text";
    enableFill = true;
    enableStroke = true;
    enableStrokeAndCornerOptions = false;
    enableTextFrameBaselineOptions = true;
    enableTextFrameGeneralOptions = true;
    fillColor = myDocument.swatches.item (0);
    strokeColor = myDocument.swatches.item (0);
    textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset.firstBaseline = FirstBaseline.FIXED_HEIGHT;
    textFramePreferences.minimumFirstBaselineOffset = myLeading;
    textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 1;
    textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN;
    }

    Your problem is that you have an extra "firstBasline" in the line that defines the firstBaselineOffset. Your script is:

    //Creating the "plain text" object style.
    var myPlainTextObjectStyle = myDocument.objectStyles.add();
    with(myPlainTextObjectStyle){
    name = "plain text";
    enableFill = true;
    enableStroke = true;
    enableStrokeAndCornerOptions = false;
    enableTextFrameBaselineOptions = true;
    enableTextFrameGeneralOptions = true;
    fillColor = myDocument.swatches.item(0);
    strokeColor = myDocument.swatches.item(0);
    textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.FIXED_HEIGHT;
    textFramePreferences.minimumFirstBaselineOffset = myLeading;
    textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 1;
    textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN;
    }
    

    Even if there's a better syntax you can use:

    //Creating the "plain text" object style.
    var myPlainTextObjectStyle = myDocument.objectStyles.add();
    myPlainTextObjectStyle.properties = {
         name : "plain text",
         enableFill : true,
         enableStroke : true,
         enableStrokeAndCornerOptions : false,
         enableTextFrameBaselineOptions : true,
         enableTextFrameGeneralOptions : true,
         fillColor : myDocument.swatches.item(0),
         strokeColor : myDocument.swatches.item(0),
         textFramePreferences : {
              firstBaselineOffset : FirstBaseline.FIXED_HEIGHT,
              minimumFirstBaselineOffset : myLeading,
              textColumnCount : 1,
              verticalJustification : VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN
         }
    }
    

    What makes this better, it is just an interaction with the object model, rather than one for each property in the object style.

  • Create "Object Style" by script

    Hello

    My 'Library.indl' file has the "Box1", "Box2". I need to create the object style (with dummy properties) based on library file names.

    If the library has BOX1, BOX2, I need to check my Indesign file has a Style of object with the same name (BOX1, BOX2).

    If an object style is not presented in this particular name (BOX1, BOX2) in Indesign, I create the dummy object style. (The "style object name must match with BOX1, BOX2).

    Is it possible by Indesign script?

  • Can I add indesign object styles to my creative cloud library?

    I have an object style that I use on the screenshots in my InDesign documents to give them a shadow and rounded striped black mount.

    I normally keep this style in my template, but once from time to time I like to use in another document which is not based on this model, so I usually have open, copy and paste the screenshot with the object in my new document style and then reapply the style of the object (which is imported) for the desired screenshot.

    I was wondering, with the integration of libraries CC in InDesign, I could save the style of the object directly to the library?
    I noticed that if I drag the screenshot in my CC library, he adds, in the form of a graph (bringing the object style), so basically, all I have to do is to capture the screenshot of my library, place it on the page, delete it and then use the style of the any object that is left behind on my screenshot desired.

    I was just wondering if directly add JUST THE STYLE of OBJECT (like you do with character or paragraph styles) is feasible now. It doesn't seem so, but maybe in future releases?

    Thank you

    Object styles are not moveable in CC libraries. Do not forget, that the function is cross-application (also works with Illustrator CC, CC of Photoshop and other applications). Libraries of InDesign objects are necessarily InDesign only.

    But you have found the best solution: when you drag an InDesign object, it copies an extract file (which contains all styles) and a PDF file in the CC library. An application like Illustrator or Photoshop can set the PDF file, the extract is used when copying to InDesign. It will add the Style to the object if you move it to another InDesign file.

  • Can I create a character style to replace normal spaces with a nonbreaking space?

    I'm working on a manual with hundreds and hundreds of equations. I need to make these not to break through the lines. It seems to me that the simplest solution would be to create a character style that would automatically transform regular spaces for nonbreaking spaces. I still need to select each equation and apply the style, but at least I would not select and change each space.

    Or if there is a way to do with GREPs, I'll take that, too. Or if there is some way to make it even better and easier that I didn't even imagine, I will take only three. ;^)

    ~ Valerie

    You can apply the attribute without a break to the whole equation - just create the character with checked seamless style.

    If you post a screenshot of your equations, I'll watch it tomorrow to see if there might be a GREP search that would work.

    Hello

    If I can create a form of object Styles, by entering its dimensions, it will allow me to create the style for import into InDesign, 4 d, our CMS.
