Export multiple files .ase of the indesign document
Hello
I have an indesign document that has approximately 1 000 palettes of colors on it.
There are 5 colors in each color scheme and each pallet is made using 5 boxes of color (see attached template).
I need to export each of these palettes of colors as indivdual .ase files.
The only way I can do now is to copy and paste a range in a blank indesign document so I can identify the 5 colors used in the chart, select these 5 colors and then export it as an .ase file.
Is there a way faster and more reasonable to do?
Best regards, Tim
Sorry, but I can't help you there. I would have found a different way from the outset. 5000 samples in one document is not exactly what I would call effective.
You can try to copy and paste objects into an empty file and then export from there.

Hello
InDesign CS 6 works very well for Mac mini in MacBookPro it always crash on placing a file on the InDesign Document.
Crash report: http://pastebin.com/fUPiYd0c
I tried:
(1) to uninstall and reinstall CS 6
(2) using different accounts including admin
Troubleshooting 3) as following:
' a) Trash preferences (cmd-opt-shift-control keys for InDesign starting).
Corrupt preferences (see above), or maybe the permissions on the folders that contain the preferences are such that InDesign cannot write correctly for them. (it sometimes happen).
(b) by deleting sub folders: before you remove the sub directories/files, please make a backup (just to the trunk). Exit design and try to delete the following files/directories (InDesign recreates them initially to the top):
~/Library/application support/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS5.5
InDesign ~/library/caches/Adobe
~/Library/Caches/com.Adobe.InDesign
InDesign ~/Library/preferences/Adobe
~/Library/preferences/com.Adobe.InDesign.plist
~/Library/preferences/com.Adobe.InDesign.plist.lockfile
~/Library/saved application State/com.adobe.InDesign.savedState
Note: The user library directory hides under MacPro/Lion. You can get there in the Finder by pressing Option and then go to the menu (other ways are too thin).
Please let me know if I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance,
It hangs in the plugin simple catalog...

I can't have multiple files open at the same time! I need to compare the content from one to the other. How to display two files at the same time?
Hi sindres79946597,
Open Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> General-> uncheck "Open Documents in the new tab in the same window.
Now, reboot your system, when you open multiple PDFs that all will open in a new window so that you can easily compare.
Kind regards

Select all content in the indesign document to attach the script
I have a script that does something useful for my document. But he always need chose the part of the document, as
If (app.selection.length > 0)...
Could you ask me how to select all the pages in the indesign document. I have a lot of pages. And I have a lot of files .indd
I tried to use app.activeDocument.pages.item (0) .allPageItems; but it is not the effect of page = ( )Maybe I can use loop 'for', but perhaps there is a function of selection of all the document, is not only one page
Thank you
Of course:
myPages = app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem () .getElements (); Table of references to the pages of the document
for (var k = myPages.length - 1; k > = 0; k-) {}
myPages [k] .allPageItems = myItems;
for (var j = myItems.length - 1; j > = 0; j-) {}
processItem (myItems [j]);
}
}
It treats everything from BACK to front, which is usually the security approach and is potentially a bit faster that the other direction.
You must always write the processItem function.

How to add legend for all images in the indesign document using indesign javscript
I want to add the legend for all images in the indesign document...
It's my code... im being of error like:
invalid parameter.
capset(2) ();
function capset()
{
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myPicture = doc.allGraphics;
var f, i, myCaption;
While (PIC = myPicture.pop ())
{
f = pic.geometricBounds;
Add a frame to the parent of the image, which is a Page
myCaption = pic.parent.textFrames.add ();
define the position and size of the legend
myCaption.geometricBounds = [[2], [1], [2] Go + 3 GB [3]];
Add the contents of the placeholder
myCaption.contents = "Caption";
PIC.parent.groups.Add ([pic, myCaption]);
}
}
Hello
Runing a code with your doc that you note possible occurrences (groups, the elements anchored, locked, etc items)
This presupposes to exclude grouped and docked:
capset (); function capset() { var mDoc = app.activeDocument, // anchored or grouped items excluded myGraphics = mDoc.splineItems.everyItem().getElements(), picContainer, gb, myCaption; while(picContainer = myGraphics.pop() ) { // exclude empty frames if (!picContainer.graphics.length) continue; gb= picContainer.geometricBounds; // add a frame to to picture's parent, which is a Page myCaption = picContainer.parent.textFrames.add (); // set position and size of the caption myCaption.geometricBounds = [gb[2], gb[1], gb[2]+3, gb[3]]; // add placeholder contents myCaption.contents = "Caption"; mDoc.groups.add ([picContainer, myCaption]); } }

File name of the active document
Hello friends,
Now that I managed to find quotes (special strings) in paragraphs, notes, tables and table notes - all with your generous help - I need to know the name of the file (path) of the current document (or book).
All I've found is how to get the name of an element of the book file (finally that I need too, but later).
How can I find the file name of the active document (which is not part of a book) and
How can I find the file name of the current book?
Thanks again for your help
Klaus
Friends,
Suddenly, I found the answer (research in the reference of the oject for 'Filename' rather than 'file name' - 'path' in the FDK reference):
alert ("Now processing book\n"+ app.ActiveBook.Name); alert ("Now processing document\n"+ app.ActiveDoc.Name);

How to upgrade all PSD files in the Indesign document as a JPEG?
Hello
I'm a wedding photographer who uses Indesign CS5 to create albums. All my photos are initially PSDs in the album. At the end of the album, I would convert PSD files in JPEG format and then be updated in InDesign Album. How can I do this?
This would smoke less on the size of the file and I will always have the option to edit the album in the future.
Thanking you in advance for your time and understanding.
Kind regards
Phil
You can batch convert them in Photoshop and save them to a new folder. As long as the file names are the same, you can connect them easily using the repeat order for file in the links Panel. There is a choice there be reprinted under the same name with a new extension.
But my $0.02 worth is that it won't do a thing for the size of the InDesign file and you will need to store the PSD in any case... which means this actually will increase the amount of storage space you need.

Illustration, linked to the InDesign document
I created a color illustration in Illustrator and saved as .ai file. I'm working on a black and white manual that I created in InDesign.
When I placed the illustration in my InDesign document, it looks blurry. When I export my InDesign document as a .pdf file seems correct. When I print the pages with the illustration, it seems correct to my PDF document.
Question - why the illustration linked in my InDesign air document blurred?
Thank you

Adjust overall color of the process used in multiple files open at the same time?
I often draw series of illustrations (maps) using the same overall color of the process and later to adjust the value of the color in all the files.
In previous versions of Illustrator I just all the open files and adjust the color values in a single file and all other files automatically got the same values and could still be saved.
This does not work in Illustrator CC 19.1.
How to do this in a way effort now?
Please tell the history of the ease of sharing 'lost in versions '.
I asked at the start of the best technical sharing and setting/editing of uniform colors between multiple documents.
We cannot link to a shared color palette and just edit this palette because the colour palettes apply only to the actual document when used.
I tried a work-around, which probably works for my needs, is the attached illustration.
I work with a set of four-color CMYK defined as Global colors, so I only need to adjust the CMYK values in the color chart to affect all the colors used in the document.
But this only applies to the actual document and does not, when objects are copied/pasted between similar files.
Instead, if I name the Global CMYK color chart (e.g.Pink) definition instead of simply use process values (0-70-20-0), give me a change to update a definition when copying objects between similar documents. If I choose "Merge swatches" in the dialog box "Swatch Conflict", the old 'Rose' (original) color will be updated to the new definition of the "Rose".
This could be useful for others?

A .plist file appeared in the My Documents folder
A few days now, a file named "purchaserecordexpirenotifications - qlm.plist" appeared in the My Documents folder.
If I delete i, it reappers the next day.
I can't understand why, or that either the app created that.
Any thoughts?
Angelo
It is probably created by the so-called "Quick License Manager" (developer name "Soraco"), installed by a third-party app, but I can't tell you that one.

How to export multiple files please
Hey all.
I want to export several files at a time in numbers. I need to send copies of invoices of VAT to my accountant, and if I select a file, the option to export to PDF format or excel, for example, then that's fine, but if I select the muliple files then share or export is greyed out.
Apple is normally very good at organizing things and make life easier, but in this case Apple probably cannot expect me to select one invoice at time of s can?
Any info would be great please?
Thank you very much

So many steps required in Windows 7 that were not required before. One is, I was not able to directly open the file manager to 'my documents', either by placing a shortcut on the taskbar setting enpoidsouen file manager it opens there automatically tasks.
Also, while I am, I wish you could put a shortcut to 'my computer' on the taskbar, as in former times. It's a nuisance to the taskbar for these choices, in part because you cannot minimize the folder - must close completely.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure what you're asking for 100%. You have a Windows Explorer icon on the taskbar? If you drag the "My Documents" folder to the taskbar it going bust in the icon WE.
