  3) the datafile :
  {code}
  ID projet*-*ID tâche*-*Tâche/Description*-*RàF*-*lun. 13/07*-*mar. 14/07*-*mer. 15/07*-*jeu. 16/07*-*ven. 17/07*-*sam. 18/07*-*dim. 19/07*-*

  {code}
  
  - As you can see, the datafile delimiter is "*-*" .... there's no pb about this.
  
  - Also, there are 5 lines in the datafile. Currently, the _*load status*_ is :
     - Line 1 is the header  >>> not loaded, and that's fine with me.
     - Line 2 is successfully loaded
     - Line 3 / Line 4 / Line 5 : are not loaded .. but I need these lines ...
  
  *What I'd like to get is to successfully load lines 3 to 5 with a default values for the first 3 columns (project/task ID/ task desc)*
  
  I hope it's clear enough and that you will be able to provide a good answer ..

  If this field is always filled, try this:
  WHEN TACHE_DESC! = "Task/Description".

• 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.

• CS6 Crash inDesign on placing a file on the indesign document, Crash report is attached.

  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.

• Entry fields fill pages of document with tabs

  I need a method to submit a form field entry page which

  then fill various business documents in any of the other tabs interface or

  with the help of a diagram of button to submit the documents completed for printing.

  I have two questions in this regard:

  1. is it possible to create a tabs interface in LiveCycle Designer ES2?

  2. how to create a button to fill all or each individual business of data entered into the first page?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Let's say you had a page on cover and four other tabs, you can create a form of five pages. In the master page, along the top, you can create five buttons that contain the script to pass the five pages.

  I recommend a landscape layout, as it is for computer screens better, especially to adjust α page.

  In this case, the user could scroll through five pages or click on the button right along the top of the page.

  If you only want one page visible/available at any time, then you can assign four pages hidden - this excludes the layout. The buttons would then have an additional script to show/hide the pages.

  There is an old sample of Model-View-Controller somewhere on the Adobe Web site, which may be of interest.

  Regarding the second question, yes it is possible as well. The easiest way is to put the names of identical objects for fields that must reflect the same data. Then, in the object > link tab, set a global binding. This means that information you typed in on the first page will be automatically published on fields with the same name in the following pages.

  Hope that helps,

• 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?

• How to paginate an Indesign document with a PDF file?

  Hello world!

  I am a french student and I have to do a paper on the film IN TIME (2011) by Andrew Niccol, and I wanted to paginate my document in the style of the meter the characters have on their arms (0000.00.0.00.00.00).

  I created it on Photoshop, as a simple text, and I wanted to know if there was a way to automatically paginate all documents with this file (by changing the numbers automatically)? In addition, it would be perfect if it could be lower, as the counter, having the last paged numbered 0000.00.0.00.00.00... ?

  If anyone has an idea...

  Thank you for helping me!

  I've added snapshots to make my question more clear:

  PS: I'm sorry for my bad English...

  

  

  InDesign cannot change text inside a file Photoshop - you are aware of this? You would need to make a Photoshop file for each page.

• Which connects InDesign template with excel data

  I have a pretty weird that I start.

  I need to make a model of design with different data fields.  There will be about 100 pages total.  The data of these text fields is stored in Excel files.  I know that I can just copy and paste the information from one to the other, but I was wondering if it was possible to somehow dynamic link between the text field in the spreadsheet so that, if the data changes in excel it automatically updates in the indesign file.

  Or is there another solution out there somehow since excellent data link to a model?

  Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Damon

  Yes, the answer is in your preferences. Create link when you place text files or a spreadsheet. Wording is perhaps not right because I don't have InDesign not open right now.

• Open the InDesign page with rules showing as a school notebook paper

  Baseline grid. No need to panic, it is a display only setting.

  As with almost * all * InDesign settings, all you have to do is close all documents, then select view settings you want in the usual menus. Who will become the defaults for new documents.

  If you see it in an existing document, and that bothers you, simply it turn off and save your document.

• Filling the first page second page data

  Hi all
  
  I developed a demo.cfm page that has the grid table. I display the table grid of database data.
  Each row of the table in the grid has a button change. Click on edit button redirects to another page that contains text fields whose names are similar to grid table headers.
  
  As soon as the user clicks on a particular line of the grid edit table button. Button clicked line values must be entered in the second text of page fields.
  
  Ex: Grid table demo.cfm contains the following data
  Name Age Sex Address
  
  1. 22 M Edit XYZ xyz
  
  When the user clicks Edit button form is submitted and in the second page text boxes him clicked on change line of link values need to be filled.
  Here we clicked on the first edit of a line button then second page text fields are filled with the values of line first.
  
  NAME: xyz
  Age: 22
  Sex: M
  Address: xyz
  
  Similarly, regardless of the line edit button than row data must be completed on the second page of the screen areas.
  
  
  How to solve this problem.
  
  Can someone help me solve this problem.
  

  Change the link must go to the second page details specific to this line.

  Do something like:

  
  Edit
  

  Then, in your form on the second page, you fill in the form as:

  
  
  

  Clearly this all depends on your so-called fields etc (I guessed right) and also, you will need to check some variables exist or not while it throws an error when they are not - but that's a different question.

  Good luck.

  Hello everyone,

  my company is using PDF documents with hyperlinks to Lotus Notes databases.

• Receive error message when calculating the two fields with different date format

  I'm more familiar with SQL Server and Oracle, then after a search online without success, I ask here.

  I use developer PL/SQL with DB Oracle 11g Release 11.2.0.2.0 Enterprise 64-bit

  MyTable:

  ID_Number VarChar2

  Date of Date_Received

  Select ID_Number,

  Date_Received,

  To_Date (substr (ID_Number, 1.6), "YYMMDD") SentDate,.

  Date_Received - NumDays To_Date (substr (ID_Number, 1.6), "YYMMDD")

  FROM MyTable

  Where substr (ID_Number, 7.3) in ('ABC', 'ABD')

  and length (Trim (translate ((substr (ID_Number, 1,6)), '0123456789',' '))) a null value

  ID_Number Date_Received SentDate NumDays

  131002ABC1654106 10/16/10/2013-2013 14 2

  131004ABD8813899 4/12/2013-4/8/2013 4

  131014ABD1844832 10/16/10/14 OF 2013-2013 2

  Sometimes the first 6 characters in the ID_Number aren't the numbers and length (Trim (translate deletes records))

  I want just the records where NumDays > 2

  I tried to put the request in a subquery and using where NumDays > 2 outside.  I also tried using the calculation directly in the Where clause.  Without it in Where clause it works very well, with him in a place, I get the following error:

  ORA-01931: Date format picture ends before converting all of the input string

  
  

  I don't know how to put the two dates in the same format.  I tried to declare the format without result.  I don't understand how I can calculate in the selection, but do not use the same calculation in Where clause.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  SQL is a language to describe the desired results.  How the system gets these results belongs to you don't have much say about which conditions will be applied when.

  One place where you can control the order of things is a CASE expression.  When you say

  CASE

  WHEN condition_1

  THEN expression_1

  END

  You can be sure that expression_1 will be evaluated only when cond_1 is set to TRUE.

  Try something like this:

  WITH got_sent_date AS

  (

  SELECT id_number, date_received

  CASE

  WHEN the TRANSLATION (SUBSTR (id_number, 1, 6)

  , 'x' 0123456789 '.

  , 'x'

  ) IS NULL

  THEN TO_DATE (SUBSTR (id_number, 1-6)

  , "YYMMDD".

  )

  END AS sent_date

  FROM MyTable

  WHERE (id_number, 7, 3) SUBSTR ("ABC", "ABD")

  )

  SELECT id_number

  date_received

  sent_date

  , date_received - sent_date AS num_days

  OF got_sent_date

  WHERE date_received > sent_date + 2

  ;

  If you would care to post some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results desired from this data, I was able to test this.

  Of course, you'll still errors of execution if id_number starts with 6 digits, but they do not have to be valid, for example '131100' or '130229'.  This is one of the reasons why the date information storage in VARCHAR2 columns are a bad idea.  To work around this problem, see

• The size of the InDesign document serious error whenever I try to change.

  Hello world.

  So this guard that happens every time I try to change the size of the document (after the strike in the new size and press OK).

  I don't know what is happening, and it's stressing out me!

  Someone met with this error message?

  It wasn't a new document. A document existing, just try to change the size.

  In any case, it's working now. Copied and pasted everything in the new document. Suspect that the original file may be damaged.
