How to get number of a character Page?
Currently I get a character by CreateOutlines Page
Dim oaPols = oChar.CreateOutlines (False)
Download oaPols (1) page of the object.
But sometimes Indesign was the crash by this code: Dim oaPols = oChar.CreateOutlines (False)
How to get number of a character Page?
Willi Adelberger wrote:
Why do you do the contours? It should NEVER be done in InDesign!
Hey Willi,
the OP is trying to find a method to get the page name of a character given somewhere on a page or on a spread and use a VB-Script scripting method.
The False parameter in the method indicates that the character will be duplicated on top of the character as an outline object.
In the user interface you select a character and press and hold the ALT key when you use the menu command for this.
Usually we take the object returned after obtaining the information of her by the script.
But obviously something bad on the side of the OP, because InDesign crashes if this method is used on one of the sample characters. Usually a geometrical object on a page will return the page object as the value of his property in parentPage (ExtendScript).
I'm not in VB-Script, so here's an excerpt from ExtendScript to get the name of the page in the text of a character block.
Select a character and run the code snippet:
// ExtendScript (JavaScript) snippet // One single character should be selected: var myCharacter = app.selection[0]; var result = myCharacter.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage; if(result == null) { alert("Character's text frame is considered on the pasteboard") } else { alert("Character's text frame is considered on page: "+result.name) };
Now, back to the createOutlines() method.
It would fail on for example all white space characters and characters that represent a fixed page element.
It would also fail if the character is in the overset text.
createOutlines() would be to raise an error, but should not crash InDesign.
Now go to the OP to the following questions:
What is the character that you try to use the method with?
Is there excess in text?
What is your exact version of InDesign?
What is the exact version of your Windows operating system?
Kind regards
Uwe

How to get a date on different pages?
Hey everyone, I am working on a daily planner for the office and I have a script that automatically generates the dates but I Don t know how to get each of the dates on another page. I would appreciate if someone could help me get each date generated by the script on the next page of my 365 page document. The scrip is:
var month = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "Peut", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "December"];
var length = [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31];
var days = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Game", "Fri", "Sam"];
Count = 0;
day = 0;
months = 0;
week = 5;
Str = "";
While (count < 365)
{
Count ++;
"days of Str += [weekday] +", "+ (day + 1) +" "+ month [month] +"\r ";
day ++;
If (day > = length [month])

months ++;
If (month > 11)
months = 0;
}
day of week = (day of the week + 1) % 7;

Tanks!
Try this,
app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;

How to get back more than one page at a time?
Surfing on sites like eBay, I often look through several pages of a search. When I finished. I would like to be able to 'Go Back' to the page where I started. It may be several pages back and using the button 'Go Back' is heavy, when I need to go back several pages. I hate to say it, but IE has an arrow next to the 'Go Back' and 'Moving forward' buttons which offers a drop down of the last X number of pages visited. This function allows me to 'Go Back' page I want with a single click. I really want to switch to Firefox, but this issue is a real pain for me when browsing. Is there a feature in Firefox that will allow me to do this easily?
You can get the menu drop-down by clicking on the previous/next buttons or now the left key pressed until the list is displayed.
If you want the drop-down arrow, you can add it with the add-on of dropmarker rear - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Hello
I am new to InDesign scripting in javascript. I would like to know if there is a way to get the position of the last character in a text frame that is busy? I need this because I want to calculate the number of characters is hidden (overflow text) via the script.
I looked in the forums about this, but I think it is always a script to alert if there is too much text or not.
I'd appreciate any help!
Well, let's say myFrame is a flowing text block.
Thus, the last character in this context would be
myFrame.characters-[1];
To calculate the number of characters to spill, select the
framework text overflow and run this script:
myFrame = app.selection [0];
myParentStory = myFrame.parentStory;
Alert ("number of characters to spill is
"+ myParentStory.characters.itemByRange (myFrame.characters [-1],".
(myParentStory.characters [-1]) .length-1);

I have a Verizon Fios connection. My old computer and hard drive are slaughtered. However, my favorites, etc. were transferred to the good folder on my new computer. I can't the butterfly on my desk? The main thing I want is to come back to my mail. It would be nice to get my homepage even without having to do it again. I would still have my account with the same user name and password - I just can't understand how to access it. I also have nothing to do with Windows Live. Help, please.
Thank you once again, but I solved the problem in the meantime. I found myself on a verizon site which had a robot named Frank who provided the download that I needed. I started to www.verizon.net/micro/betterway , but had to submit to certain fluctuations so that he can understand that Windows 7 has met their minimum requirements. I now have the butterfly on my desk, and all my mail, Favorites, homepage and addresses are intact. Anyone else with this problem should go on the verizon site, press the help button and tell Frank the robot you want a 'Verizon Broadband with download MSN for Windows 7".
