• Numbered update cross-references blocks InDesign CS4 CS6 and

  I have a major medical journal that has a hundred references, I met with the thought that the customer can insert or change the references. I was correct and the client has now several references to go, I have updated the first in the list numbered at the end and disappeared to "update the cross-refernce" and InDesign crashes. I tried this in CS6 and CS4 but both crash.

  You could try exporting as IDML and opening the IDML and saving it under a new name.

• 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,

  Have you tried recording to the IDML format then regenerate a PDF file of the document cleaned? Any change?

• 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 and styles of character

  I created a cross-reference in InDesign format that includes the paragraph text and the page number. I want the cross-reference to be regular and the page number itself to be bold. In the reference formats dialog box, I clicked in front of < pageNum / > and inserted a character Style from the drop of the icon "+" to the right of the definition. I typed in the name of the character style between the quotes, which is "BOLD". The definition given in the dialog box looks like this:

  "< fullPara / >" < name cs = "Bold" > page < / CS > < pageNum / >

  I clicked on the "Save" button. It does not seem serious if I click on the check box on or off for the character for the reference Style. The reference everything is transformed "BOLD" or firing everything is regular. I am not able to apply a character style to the part of the cross-reference.

  If anyone has a suggestion or can he enlighten me on that, I would be very happy.

  The beginning and the tag for the character style must surround the content that you want to assign.

• 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.

• Endnotes in Indesign using cross-references

  Hey all,.

  I'm trying to follow this tutorial using the endnotes in indesign:

  http://blogs.Adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/03/endnotes_in_indesign_cs4.html

  In what it suggests, what appears in the document ends up being the full note:

  1 Salmerón, Loren The Diet Guide New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2002, page 56

  so that everything that I want to make is:

  1

  In his case, he could just make "1" appears. I note under reference dialogue format, his example shows "end note paragraph number. There is no option for me. Anyone know what it does I'm not understand?

  Thanks for the reply.

  Looks like this tutorial for step 4 details omitted the details of creating a cross-reference format. Click on the pencil icon indicated by a red circle in the screenshot of the dialog new references to open the cross-reference Formats dialog box, where you can create or edit cross-reference formats. Select the paragraph number in the list of formats provided by InDesign, then click on the '+' to paragraph number in double under the number of paragraph (1). Replace the note at the end of paragraph number name, as in the tutorial, or any name you like. Enable (check) for reference character Style, choose the style of characters superscript, you created as described in step 2.

  The "" notation in the reference format dialog box captures only the part of subsection the reference point to auto-numerotees. In your example above, it is supposed to be "1".

  Google search for terms like "InDesign create cross-reference formats", without the quotes, if you need more information about the several subtasks of reference mentioned here and in the tutorial.

• 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.

• 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.

• Is this possible with Cross references?

  My document has 10 digits (photos, for example) while the references in the text. Due to a series of changes, I now need to remove Figure 5. The former Figure 6 must now be Figure 5, the old Figure 7 must be Figure 6, etc.. And corresponding sources of text must be updated as well.

  Is it possible with a Cross device references integrated InDesign? If not, is there a plugin out there that could solve my problem?

  Thank you.

  Ask yourself how you can configure it in the past so in the future, you can automate the process? If so, Yes. I'm doing a book with a somewhat similar feature. But it handles only the text in the document of identity. It does not change the names of the pictures that have been placed. So, if you need to rename the PSD files, I can't help you.

  But, if it is only text, here's what I do.

  My legends of the figures are numbered lists. The format is "Figure #" then on the text. They have been defined through the stories.

  When I x - ref, figure, I x - ref set to pick up the number of the paragraph but not the text of the paragraph.

  If, in your example, I had to get out in figure 5, I would take the picture figure and legend. That would leave a x - missing Ref in the body of the text. It is very good. I would like to delete it. Then the rest of the x-refs will need to be updated.

  Similarly, I could insert an x - ref. I believe that the number of car would come from its position on the text pages.

  HOWEVER, you will need to have set up at the start. It won't help later.

  PS: I hope you ask cela in the future and for a lot more than only 10 digits.

• Creation of cross references

  Hi all!

  I'm new in this fantastic world of Extendscript, but I've been using Framemaker since version 5.5.

  I'm working on some kind of reference Manager and it works really nice. I can list all the cross-references to the level of the book or document, select the cross-reference to appear in the active document and so on. I use unstructured FM.

  The problem I face is the creation of reference itself. I know how to create a cross-reference to the xref Guide, but I Don t know how to insert the xref in the content. I tried with NewAnchoredFormattedObject function with parameters of type object, format and textLoc . Also West of XRefSrcText property (string containg single ID:pgf_tag:text).

  The question is: can I use the same string (the content of XRefSrcText) in the form of text for the type of cross reference marker? Or just the text of TFP that contains the cross reference?

  I found several examples of using Framescript but I'm unable to reproduce the code by YOU.

  Thanks for reading me. I'd appreciate any help on this.

  Concerning

  Hello

  Your code does not work, but you forgot to update the cross-references in your document. To do this in the code, add the following line at the end of the snippet to insert XRef:

  doc. UpdateXRef (doc, newcrossref);

  Ciao

• Problems with cross-references spots

  In FrameMaker 12, I can't reference spots to work, despite the help instructions. I created a cross-reference marker, then created the cross-reference to the marker, but he keeps inserting the entire paragraph and not only words from marker I want.

  For example:

  1. I added a marker of type reference cross to a paragraph in one of my FM files, called "user management".

  2. in another file, I created a link of my marker reference (special > referral source type cross, then selected reference markers my marker)

  3. in the type of format, I select position, which has the definition of < $paratext > as one of the constituent elements.

  Unfortunately, this procedure then inserts the text of the full paragraph, not only the marker text I want.

  I suspect the step 3 is the place where I'm wrong, but the help instructions are not specific on blocks of construction/Formats to use.

  Thank you

  Warren

  If you want to do this type of reference, then using a reference spot will work. Just create a x - ref format that has the text 'Click here for details' properly formatted and the link to the spot-xref.

  If you want to link to a custom text in the paragraph, then it's more complicated, but it can be done [although that may have a building block of $markertext would be the best way to go].

  1. Create a custom color that you will use to create a text 'invisible '. [do something bright that stands out on the page]
  2. Create a paratag for the text of x - ref custm and use this custom color.
  3. Using the color > views, assign this custom color to be invisible and visible in the view 6 in view 1 (default).
  4. Switch to the view 6 (these / 6) so you can see what you are creating.
  5. In the paragraph where you need the custom text spot x - ref, insert a framework anchored with a block of text it contains (better to create on the referring page, so that you can cpy & paste as neeed) value be out column (but adjust so that it sits on top of the exact place that you want to access). Enter the required text using the x - ref paratag.
  6. Change in view 1 to make the x - ref invisible text (these / 1).
  7. You can now make the x - ref to the "custom" text FM still sees the 'invisible' content, even if it never gets when you create the output.

• Cross references have disappeared!

  Help! Just an upgrade automatic Id CC and cross-evidence disappeared from my hyperlinks. Can see and work with hypertext links very well; can see the cross-cranked up in the document, but they do not appear in the links Panel. Cannot access, go to them, update... nothing. It is a serious problem

  Apparently, Adobe has moved cross-references in a separate Panel. He is no longer a part of the hyperlinks. I found it in the type and tables.

• Cross reference incorrect syntax

  Try to create a partial cross reference text using the suggested code:

  "< fullPara delim =".:” includeDelim=”false”/>

  However, InDesign (DC) gives me a message "invalid syntax".

  Ideas?

  Thank you.

  Uwe,

  You are right that the quote thing is confusing. There are actually two types of quotes in the definitions for the x - Ref.

  The quotes around are regular quotes and can be curly, or German, or guillumets or anything like that. In fact, they do not have to be quotes.

  These quotes are indicators that you want some characters around the text of the full paragraph.

  "But the citations in the delim = building block": "don't go to insert citations in the text. They are in the code of the markers that indicate that what is between the markers (quotations) is the element that will stop to pick up all the text in the partial paragraph.

  It is these quotes that cannot be curled.

  Does make sense?

• Cross reference options

  Hello.

  I had a problem with my cross references and I was hoping to get the answer here.

  My problem is:

  When I'm adding a cross-reference in my document and to include the full paragraph, and page number, it says 'paragraph name page XX' most of my documents are in Norwegian, so I wonder if there is a way to chanage the language or phrases (""page "in this example) which are automatically generated by indesign for something in my language?

  Thanks for any help

  Rune

  You can create your own layout for reference.

  In the hyperlinks Panel menu, choose define cross-reference formatting.

  Select the format on the left that you want to redefine. Click on the sign that will duplicate the style and call it [Stylename] 1 +. You can rename it. Now use definition below box to refine the format in Norwegian name. Click OK.

  Now, change your reference to use this new format.
