Export as text

Sorry, this must have been asked and answered here several times, but I can't find a clear answer.

Is it far from export a document in plain text format? At the moment I'm going via the Clipboard of the operating system, but there must be a better way.

Thank you!

"Export text" in the online help States that you will find all the export formats that are available in the export dialog box.

... OTOH, it fails to list them and doesn't mention (I think) you have to set your text cursor within a story to export plain text out of it. If you do so, you will find 'Text' only list "Save as type".

If your problem is, you have several stories and you want to export all the of them, not one by one, try the ExportAllStories script. It comes pre-installed with your InDesign: http://indesignsecrets.com/exporting-all-stories-text-rtf.php

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - OCR: no export image text conversion

    Based on the exploration of online Adobe help resources, I subscribed to export in PDF format on the assumption that I would be able to use convert scanned image Adobe Acrobat Reader DC text in MS Word text.

  • export pdf text

    I want to read the text of a pdf document in a text editor. How can I convert a PDF to text? EXPORTPDF displays no text or .txt as a type of document available to convert.

    Hi cellist_01,

    I can understand your concern. You can create a PDF of a .txt file, but it is not possible to create .txt file from a PDF file using the Adobe service export to PDF format.

    As a work around, you can create a .doc or .docx file from the PDF file using export to PDF and then simply copy & paste the contents of the fichier.doc/.docx the .txt file.

    Kind regards

  • How to export the text properly?

    When I export a PDF, in particular of the academic paper, all the 'ifs' become a single character in the text file. How to avoid it?

    You can not. It is a special character called a ligature that use certain fonts.

    You can do a search and replace, and replace it with a "financial institution", however.

  • encoding and export of text (JS CS3 MAC and PC)

    Hi - I'm trying to export text in InDesign as an ASCII file. But I end up with a file of zero K.

    myX var = new File (myTarget);

    myX.encoding = "ASCII";

    myX.lineFeed = "unix";

    myX.open ("w");

    myX.write (myString);

    myX.close ();

    I have success with this:

    myX var = new File (myTarget);

    myX.encoding = "UTF-8";

    myX.lineFeed = "unix";

    myX.open ("w");

    myX.write ("\uFEFF" + myString);

    myX.close ();

    But the person at the other end of the export, says I need to convert UTF - 8 coding ASCII.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My bad! I knew that U + FFFD might appear occasionally in straight copied text out of InDesign, so I checked his UTF8 encoding and it's 'EF BB BF. That's why I thought that you are deceived and recommended to remove U + FFFD.

    But... you're right after all. One tells you it's, "EF BB BF", also translates into yet another code ID use as a "placeholder": U + FEFF, and since it is also a special code in Unicode your customer has problems with it.

    Change the line of replacement to it (this time around, I made sure to run your script and check the result before posting...).

    myString = myString.replace (/ \uFEFF/g, "");

  • Does not export the text in black

    I use InDesign CS 3 and you have created a PDF file for a self published book which has the art of the color and the text. They require RGB files, so nothing is in CMYK mode.

    I received the proof of the sample and it is great except that the text is not a pure black: he has shades of light color from one page to another (reddish black, greenish black, bluish black).

    Is there a setting in preferences in InDesign, or maybe in the settings for exporting the file in PDF format that can remedy this? I had the preference of the "appearance of Black" value "output all blacks as Rich Black. Change to "Output all blacks accurately" fix it?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

    Zina,

    I read your first posting and responses of others and yourself.

    (1) he would have no sense which 'they' (I guess that your printer or Publisher) requires RGB files. There is nothing about digital printing via PostScript or PDF which requires RGB or CMYK files. Reliable PDF print publishing process would dictate that you let your images in their original RGB color spaces with their profiles. The RIP process should automatically convert these images to CMYK using your RGB source profiles and printer CMYK destination profile. On the other hand, black text should never repeat never, be done in RGB, unless you try to achieve some special effects such as the so-called intense Black, generally 100 %K with some other color components. Rich black would generally not done for text other than for big screen type. Even sointense Black would be generally specified in CMYK mode to achieve some expected exact effect. So, either specify typical black text in RGB (255,255,255 generally) or output text components and images as a file PDF RGB is far from safe. A PDF file preserving the original colors is what you want and need.

    (2) the question of InDesign for Appearance of Black preference affects only the display on the screen and real non- peripheral PostScript printing. It has no effect whatsoever for printing to PostScript or PDF export devices.

    (3) you will need to have a good discussion with CSR your printer (customer service) or their expert pre-press as to what they do in their workflow. If you have them sent a PDF file with CMYK black text (i.e., 0,0,0,100%) and with the RGB RGB images with profles, you shouldn't be seeing the results that you did in the so-called evidence they sent you.

    Proceed with caution, or you may find yourself with a costly mistake. Something is not quite right with what the printer ask to you or the printer does in its workflow with the PDF file, you provide.

  • The list of images exported as text and send it as e-mail

    Hi, I have a problem that I hope you can help me with because it would greatly facilitate my workflow:

    After that newly hired personnel film each month, I usually have a large amount of images to be changed by other employees who have indirect access to the same folder that I export my images (in order to make the ID ect.). By indirect I mean they use a specific program to access the folder.

    I would like to be able export these images directly from Lightroom to the specified folder and at the same time, make a list of the names of files that I can send it as an email to the Department of human resources.

    Is there a simple solution for this? -Is it possible for example to make a Lightroom export action open to the top of my e-mail program and produce a list of exported images (just the names of files in the form of text) that can be inserted in the email?

    On this page: http://alloyphoto.com/category/lightroom-plugins/export-list/

    The plugin list exports can do what you need and more. In the word, the plugin sets a post-processing action, which can be chained to any export operation. The user can choose to generate the output in different formats file and open it in the program by default, or even launch Mozilla Thunderbird compose mode with the output file automatically added as an attachment.

    Hi Arie,

    How are you?

    What you see is a by-product of the automatic encoding of CSV feature. Automatic encoding of CSV is set to 'Yes' for the Application Express Application Builder. With this feature enabled, the CSV files are coded such that they are compatible with localized versions of MS Excel. Without this feature, the generated CSV file would still be generated in utf-8 format, which MS Excel could choke in certain geographical areas (American, German, Japan).

    'Something", you can use is to temporarily run the Application Builder in the language of the browser 'hi. ' Hindi is one of the languages in the Application Express which has the game mapped to AL32UTF8 characters CSV. In this way, you will get a file that you will not be able to open directly in MS Excel, but you are also suffering the character set conversion issues.

    Does make sense? I hope this helps.
