[CS6] Lot of rebinding of cross-references

Hello

I technical manuals for a long time, distribute the books in separate documents. Each document includes indicators to show the product and language, for example, 'ProA-Intro-ENG' for the English version of the ProA product.

Then I send the documents to my translators, and the document takes a name like 'ProA-Intro-FRE"for the French version.

Later, I adapt my hardware to product B, then change the names "ProB-Intro-ENG" and "ProB-Intro-REF.

Cross-references are always broken. Contrary to the image that connects, I can just use a command to 'Recreate a link to the folder', or select a target file and to have the target of cross reference automatically included relinked. Cross-references need to be rebuilt everything manually.

Do you know any solution to avoid all this work? Shouldn't be much easier?

Paolo

I found a solution! The order of reference to re-edit the link in the pane hyperlinks is not reserved for the selected cross reference. On the contrary, it becomes available when no item is selected in the pane.

After choosing this command, you are asked to select the documents of the target, one after the other. The references are updated batch for each target document.

  • How you converting ToC links to cross reference?

    Hello gang,

    InDesign CS6 can export to ePub and can support the export of a table of contents to links in ePub, but can not bear two. Is there a script or plug-in that you know who can take a second or third selected ToC generated and to convert its links in cross references, as well as more than a table of contents can translate into a html-based link once we export to ePub?

    Thanks a lot for the pointers.

    Thank you, Ariel and I will check it. Thank you very much!

  • 6 InDesign cross-references cause mysterious line breaks

    In a paragraph with several cross references (7), 6 InDesign, the scrolling text to the next line, apparently without reason, even if there is room for the text on the same line.

    Here is my example:

    At the end of line 1): when I do a link to Unit 52, it makes the word 'article' drop down to the next line, even if there is room for it. (And also with 19, 22, when they are turned into links, they fall down.) If I remove the reference cross on "52" the word return upward on the same line.

    (1) animated and inanimate. This distinction affects how we use articles and verbs so we talk about in most of the units on the verbs and articles, but amongst the

    other places in the following units: 17, 19/B, 19/C, 21/B, 22/A, / 22B and 22 c /, / 23 c, 27 (used as an object), 52 (summary of articles).

    So after I created the 7th cross references, like this line breaks:

    (1) animated and inanimate. This distinction affects how we use articles and verbs so we talk about in most of the units on the verbs and articles, but amongst the

    other places in the following units: 17, 19/B, 19/C, 21/B, 22/A, / 22B and 22 c /, / 23 c, 27 (used as an object), 52 (summary of)

    Articles).

    It seems that 6 InDesign can't manage a number of cross-references in a single line.

    Have you ever seen this happen? Do you know what to do about it?

    Thanks for any input and help!

    I've seen it happen. I also posted about it here, and introduced a bug report, but I have not tested to see if it is still present in the CC of InDesign post-CS6 versions. Cross-references can cause goofy cloth, implausible, in conditions that I can't identify. However, your text will probably compose as you expect if you pass the composer of normal paragraph to the paragraph universal composer.

  • Eratic behavior: book, the main text blocks and Cross References

    I'm on InDesign 2014.2. Mac.

    I'm working on a fairly large book. About 14 chapters / sections, about 400 total pages. There are also hundreds of cross references, almost all of them to anchor references.

    The design of the book is as simple as possible. There is no graphics, text blocks only.

    I use a single master page, with facing pages, and a block of text type. I used it throughout the production of the book, and the primary text flow worked well, chapter after chapter. Pages have been created automatically, and automatically flowed text.

    Maybe I need to change the page size of the book, and I also have a lot of editing to do which will reduce a lot of the chapters. I wanted to make sure all pages use the main text flow to do that, go as gently as possible.

    To my dismay, I discovered that although I used systematically throughout the book master text streams, all but three of my chapters have inexplicably lost their text stream. All images in these chapters have converted into ordinary images. That I edit the book, it's playing havoc with paging and referrals.

    I tried to restore the flow of text in one of the first chapters. It's easy to do, in theory.

    • Move the first page off to the side frame
    • Delete all pages except the first page
    • Command-shift-click on the first page to restore the flow of the main text
    • Copy and paste the contents of the old frame into the primary stream restored.


    When I do, the pages to move properly, and I'm back to having a chapter with a block of primary text on each page. Unfortunately, this breaks all cross-references that refer to this newly reorganized chapter and all references to the front in this chapter.


    I tried to do all that I could imagine. Only remove the frames and not pages. Try without the busy book. Nothing works. I tried the command update cross-references in the book menu. Has nothing.


    It seems impossible to redistribute the text in a new primary master framework, without completely breaking the cross references.

    I finally found something that seems to work:

    • Create a new master page at the end of the document.
    • Go to the last page of the history of the chapter and the last history image a link to the text block type on the page that you just created.
    • In the pages palette, delete all pages in the document, with the exception of the master page that you created.

    All text will be redistributed within the frameworks of masters, and cross-references (to and from the frame) seem to be intact.

  • Cross references not Visible in Control Panel

    Hi all

    I've been enjoying the feature Cross references in Indesign CS6 to use dynamic text that changes... until very recently.

    When I started to use, references of Cross (CR) would be listed in the Panel links/CR.

    I can create a destination, create a hyperlink to this destination, change it shows (I use the paragraph number) and it works as it should.

    The problem I have is that the CRs are not visible in the cross-reference panel (hyperlinks too by the way)

    This means that I can't change my cross references.

    Does anyone know why don't they show in the control panel? Or y at - it another way to see?

    I need to solve this problem. I tried to reset the preferences I found in other posts, but that did not help

    SOLVED!

    The problem appeared to be with my working space profile. I changed my custom profile for 'For interactive PDF' (which has the hyperlinks) and it worked. All hyperlinks and cross-references show.

    I customized my workspace with the panels I need and then registered a new workspace with the same name. Everything works fine after you save a new profile. I'll take a backup of the workspace file, so I can easily restore it if it happens again.

  • Cross-references in InDesign does not convert the links in the PDF

    Hello


    I can't work on any model that... I have a number (75, to be precise) of references in a single InDesign file to other locations within the same file. In InDesign, all work well - I can go from destination to source and vice versa.

    When I export to PDF, about 20% of them (I did not, I'm afraid) jump me to a particular page... page 58 of the 61-page document. They should not. There two correct links to this destination, the rest should go to various other pages. All cross references are using heading styles. I have not used all the bookmarks (if I remember correctly - work has been done some time ago, but has only raised the issue).

    In some cases, there are destinations in the PDF files to the appropriate pages, so I'm fixing this way links. They cannot be the original destinations, because I have more than one destination per page in some cases. In other cases, there is no destination for the page required... they have not been exported, so I'll have to create destinations in the PDF file as well. I noticed that a lot of destinations end with "Anchor xx" (where xx is a number), others are a 5 digit number what is the difference?

    It has been a pain fix these, but will be even worse when the document is updated in a few months... I don't want to have to manually re-create each hyperlink each time. I also wanted to use InDesign for another project, but the files would be updated on a regular basis in this case and if there is a known bug, it would not be an acceptable load.

    Any suggestions? Oh - the graphics are almost all related, and most are anchored frames... don't know if this has an impact, but I noticed when picking topics cross reference that some were (chart) after the title of the topic.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Cross reference flow problem

    Hello

    I try to develop a PDF parser, but I'm stuck at the stream of cross-reference.

    First of all, my program reads all the objects in a PDF document, and then saves it.

    If the version is 1.5 or superior, the cross-reference is an object that uses the filter FlateDecode and a predictor of 12.

    Everything seems to be good, but the PDF reader cannot open the file.

    When I save the file with a normal cross-reference, the PDF works fine.

    Can someone please help me find the problem in the following file:

    Download

    The file above is the result of the following file:

    Download

    With a normal cross reference table, therefore this file (work):

    Download

    Note that the difference between 1 and 3 is only at the end, where the dealer or the purpose of the xref.

    I checked the table of cross references again and again, but I could not find the error.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    13 + 1 would be better

    The specification also says: 7.5.4 [...] For a file that has never been updated incrementally, the reference section contains only one paragraph, one object numbering starts at 0. [...]

    If you follow it, you must also not the Index Entry, or?

    Could you show me the results of your current work?

  • Changing the text that appears in a cross reference

    Hi, I'm kind again in this cross reference something set and I'm doing something that doesn't work, I tried a few things and did some research but nothing has really helped me.

    So I work in a book, and we have several exercises (exercise 4.1.4.2, 4.x and so on) that works with the ball and the numbering style. We refer to them in the text, so I wanted to my reference to say "(do l'exercice X à la page XX) but when I link the cross reference, since the original exercise is written with a letter from cap (year X) well, he wrote"making the exercise page XX X) "

    I read that we cannot force in small character in ID (hoped to apply a simple character style) so there at - it another way to make this work?

    I can change it manually, but then it appears a conflict in the Panel cross references

    To make it more simple, I just want the exercise automated 4.X to write exercise 4.X, is it possible?

    Otherwise, I will pray for a "tiny" for CS6 style option...

    Thanks in advance

    I don't do much with the refs (tried it out on the last project, however), but I think your problem is that you must change the type of anchor text anchor point, you need to create from hyperlinks context menu > new Destination of the hyperlink...

  • Cross-references in the output PDF from Framemaker: how to center the Pages?

    I think I understand quite well the functioning of cross-references in Framemaker, but one thing that bothers me, it's how, when you generate a PDF from Framemaker file and clicking on a reference, the resulting page view locates the cross at the top of a page reference marker.

    It's very annoying and confusing when, say, referring to a figure of legend that appears at the bottom of a page. Page display that results when such a reference in a PDF document after Center the text of the _following_ page, with the text of the legend of the barely visible figure at the top of the page.

    My question: is it possible to build cross references that show the page, when you click in a PDF document, is centered on the page that displays the cross-reference material?

    Thank you very much.

    JMW

    Not AFAIK in FrameMaker.

    But in Acrobat, set the initial view one Page instead of continuous.

    File > properties > Initial View.

    Two upward (direction) and two up (cover Page) would also work.

  • Several cross-reference Formats

    Hello

    I have a document with figures and notes. I use paragraph styles to dial my digits. I do the same with another style of paragraph numbering my notes.

    So sometimes I add cross-references in the text of a link to the image. (So if I add an image somewhere in the document, all the following numbers of the figures will be updated and I can update references in the text with the command "update cross-references".

    (Basic on the numbering and references stuff can be found here: tutorial InDesign: automatic update of the references listed for books: lynda.com - YouTube)

    Now I can use the "Cross Reference Format" option in "Edit the cross-reference" Pop Up.

    If I click on the little feather I can choose a character to the cross-reference style. So far everything is ok.

    (See images)

    But now I want to have a different format of cross reference, every time I refer to a note (then I want something with an exponent). If I refer to an image, I want the italic text, but not exposing.

    If I change the format of the cross-reference to a single reference, it will change the format for all references.

    Y at - it any way I could use reference formats?

    Thanks for help.

    See you soon

    Ok. I just discovered. I thought I have just the options that are given by default.

    These are for example "numbering". But I can add another in the left column of the second screenshot. By Cross Reference Format I can use different character styles.

  • I want to add tab stops to the cross-reference format to make my OCD, a solution of a single click, but the format never comes out right and using the tab key in the window of the dialog box to move the cursor to the next window.

    When you try to format my references I would add tab stops so that the format for the TOC works with the cross reference.  For example my format on the pages of reference is

    < $chapnum > - < $paranumonly > < $paratext > < $chapnum > - < $pagenum >

    With tab stops before the chapnum, between paranumonly and paratext and the next chapnum.  If the final result should look like

    4-16 speed vertical digital - primary Mode... 4-28

    Help?

    In the reference page, add a \t where you want a tab to be, i.e. \t<$chapnum>-<$paranumonly><$paratext>\t \t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>

    Then, make sure that the format of paratag has the tabs tab placed at the correct locations.

    When you re - generate the table of contents, you should get the desired effect.

    Hi you

    I have a question. Is it possible does not show the number of the page where the reference is in the same page? in a sample is attached. Thank you very much! It's really important... pls let me know. Andrea Imbrosciano

    Cross Reference Type indesign.png

    Hello Andrea, if you delete the text you are referencing, the cross reference will show as 'broken' in the Panel cross references. At this point, you can navigate to the reference, using the icons in the lower left corner of the Panel and to remove the reference. About changing the order of multiple references, they will appear in the order in which you create them. If I understand what you're trying to do, you want to combine, or concatenate almost references. (See tab 10, tab.11 and tab 12) on page 102. You need to play with the cross-reference formats to see if you can get the results of your search of. I did in the past, but usually end upward with a kind of workaround. There is no easy way to refer to multiple text boxes.

  • specify the format of the cross-reference in read/write rules?

    How can I specify a cross-reference in the rules format of reading/with import xml document?

    Gary,

    If you want all occurrences of the xref element to use the same format, you can specify the format of an InitialObjectFormat rule in ESD or use a rule r/w in the form:

    element 'figref.

    {

    is part of fm of reference;

    format FM property reference value is "Figure."

    }

    If you want to use different formats and have a particular element to specify that one, you can set an attribute whose value is the name of format with a rule like:

    "xref" element

    {

    is part of fm of reference;

    attribute ' xref-fmt' is the formula of property reference fm;

    }

    In fact, if your DTD defines an attribute called 'format', default FM it uses for this purpose.
