• How to make a block of text link?

  Hello

  I'm generating PDFs to an xml file by loading the xml into a predefined format.

  Code example

  cstrInddFile = marked Server.MapPath("~/Indesign_XML/DesingTemplate.indd")---contient palceholders
  cstrXMLFile = Server.MapPath("~/Indesign_XML/item.xml")

  objDoc.Export (idExportFormat.idPDFType, "D:/Test4.pdf")

  Problem: the pdf file is created but contains a page, how it will display all the data in the xml file.

  My sample xml is (I have tagged the textframe with tag story)

  < NewDataSet >
  < Story >
  < table >
  < > 34 ProductId < / ProductId >
  < > 267 ItemId < / ItemId >
  < /table >
  < / history >
  < / NewDataSet >

  Please answer someone.

  Hi Nishatry,

  After loading the XML, you must follow the following steps to resolve this problem.

  1 beginning Page numbers form XML elements.

  2. Add the number of pages required.

  3. link text frames by [myDoc var = app.activeDocument; myDoc.pages [0] .textFrames [0] .nextTextFrame = myDoc.pages [1] .textFrames [0];].

  4. place the XML to the first image [myDoc.xmlElements [0].placeXML(myDoc.pages[0].textFrames[0]);]

  5. can export to PDF

  Kind regards

• How to name a block of text to use textFrames.getByName?

  I think it's a pretty simple question, but I can't find examples explaining how to name the text block, so I can use the getByName feature.

  Right now I'm using a loop for to go through all the text frames and find a corresponding to a text string, but I am afraid that by random chance, that same text string will get used in a graphic and the script will change the incorrect text.

  I found this in an old NET, but couldn't find out how to apply the name to the text box. Extract the data from Excel to Illustrator javascript or vbscript

  Thanks in advance!

  Figured it out! I can quote the textframe in the layers panel so I show details for the layer that the textframe I want feeds. It defaults to the content of the textframe unless you call it in the layers panel, that's why when I tried to find a name, I wouldn't get a! Once I changed it on the layers panel, I could call him by his name! Sussed this out of one of your previous posts of Carlos, so thank you again for all that you give on these forums!

  

• How to "unscrew" a block of text?

  I have a continuous text document

  Threading from end to end. I want to interrupt the threading of the text and create a separate where the thread page stops just before this page. Could someone tell me how can I do this?

  My documents are in fact part of a book. Each document contains four or five chapters with threaded continuous text flow, and there are also a few tables in each document.

  I have two reasons for wanting a thread. One is that I want each chapter to start again on a page, so that when the text changes position during formatting, it won't move the chapter cover page.

  Similarly, I want my paintings on one page, and does not move when the text in front of them moves during formatting.

  Both of these can be treated without breaking the story threaded (tables can be said to not break on several pages in the properties of the Table, and there are several ways to force the chapters to begin on a new page, the most obvious which is out of frame just before the end of a chapter).

  But, that being said, it turns out that the SplitStory script will do what you want. I don't know if it is installed automatically with CS5, or if you go shoot is out of installation disks yourself. But it is there, somewhere.

  Finally: do not use it unless you are certain that you will be the last person who will ever work in this file at 100%.

  I have created several models of format and drop the documents to work with where my address and phone number are displayed.  My main Editor is WordPerfect, where all files are and were created in XP Professional and Vista Ultimate.  Is there a way to specifically select these files format/templates and opt for a search and replace specific text instead of opening each file?

  text in a cell block has a character as a parent, character has a cell as a parent, a cell table as a parent - to this place there should be the block of text just as the parent of a table, but unfortunately it is a story! so no idea how to get the block of text here?

• Copy the block of text in most of the pages

  Using CS4. I am designing a photo book and want to add a caption below photos on most of the pages.

  How to copy a block of text to most of the pages of the book, positioned at the same place on each page?

  Looks a very basic thing to want to do, but impossible to find some sort of obvious way to do.

  Must have something to do with master pages.

  Master page would certainly be a way to do it. Put the rframe on the master, then substitute ([Ctrl on windows] Cmd + Shift-click on the page docuent to release a Master object) to enter text or remove images or place text in the frame (without replacement) from an external file.

• InDesign: how tilt blocks of text without distorting the text?

  I want to put in place several large blocks of copy to these requirements:

  -the basic lines of the text are at an angle on the page

  -the left and right edges of the text block are shot-on horizontal (aligned with the guides in the screenshot below)

  -the block of text can be enlarged or reduced without changing the angle of the left and right edges

  -forms of the letters themselves are not distorted

  

  This screenshot shows what I'm after.

  

  This screenshot shows the real bounding box for the text block.

  

  This screenshot shows how the angle of the text box changes when I change its size.

  I think Illustrator is a kind of function that allows you to "zero" (reset the transformations of a grid of 90 degrees) an object after it is transformed. Not finding anything like that in InDesign. And I find no way to set a custom angle constraint that would allow me to use the direct Selection (white arrow) tool to change the height or width with confidence.

  I'd appreciate some tips! Thank you for your attention.

  I do so with the example of shooting. Tilt works the same way.

  1. draw your rectangle, I applied a text frame reference grid (textframe options)

  

  2. with the Selection tool or the transform tool turn the frame in one direction, you can also do this with the entrance of the value in the transform Panel, what I would recommend.

  

  3. now, select the direct Selection (white arrow) tool and hold the ALT key and click on the frame. Now, only the frame is selected. Turn the other way, or insert the value in the transform Panel.

  

  I also have another method to offer:

  1. Draw the main frame with the text tool.
  2. Draw a small box above, it must be much smaller than the main frame.
  3. Turn the small frame in the direction that where you want to go the text.
  4. Select the two images.
  5. Go to the Pathfinder > Add.

  Now, you can add text or select a text based frame reference grid. He will do the same as above. May be simpler.

• How can I replace a range / the text in an XML tag

  I want to replace a piece of text in an XML tag in a text frame.

  In my input parameters, I have the In-design page number, UID text frame in this page and the name of the XML tag within this block of text

  that surrounds my old text.

  which interface/function/command can I use who can help me to replace the existing text with the input text?

  for example:

  [old text] --> [new text]

  where [] is the XML tag with the name tag1.

  After a few trails and POC, I was able to write the piece of code below.

  It detects the start and end position of the marker and based on that we can replace the text inside. It will be useful.

  InterfacePtr data (signalMgr, UseDefaultIID());

  If (data == nil)

  {

  break;

  }

  UIDRef docRef = data-> GetDocument();

  InterfacePtr doc (docRef, IID_IDOCUMENT);

  IDataBase * db = docRef.GetDataBase ();

  Get the spread

  InterfacePtr spreadList (doc, UseDefaultIID());

  Int32 spreadCount is spreadList-> GetSpreadCount();.

  for (int32 spreadIndex = 0; spreadIndex)< spreadcount;="" spreadindex++="">

  {

  Get the reference to the spread

  UIDRef spreadUIDRef (db, spreadList-> GetNthSpreadUID (spreadIndex));

  Get the object of dissemination

  InterfacePtr spread (spreadUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());

  Int32 numberOfPages = spread-> GetNumPages();

  for (int32 nPage = 0; nPage)< numberofpages;="" npage++="">

  {

  UIDList pageItemList (db);

  spread-> GetItemsOnPage (nPage, & pageItemList, kFalse, kFalse);

  Browse page items and save on the UID of executives.

  Int32 pageItemListLength = pageItemList.Length ();

  for (int32 j = 0; j)< pageitemlistlength;="" j++="">

  {

  UIDRef pageItemRef = pageItemList.GetRef (j);

  InterfacePtr frame (pageItemRef, UseDefaultIID());

  If (frame-> IsTextFrame())

  {

  Now try to get the position of the Guide to the XML tag

  TextIndex 0 = startPos, endPos = 0;

  IXMLReferenceData * xmlReferenceData = Utils()-> QueryXMLReferenceData (pageItemRef);

  REF XMLReference = xmlReferenceData-> GetReference();

  IIDXMLElement * element = REF. Instantiate();

  InterfacePtr (REF.). Instantiate());

  TagUID UID = element-> GetTagUID();

  WideString elementName = element-> GetTagString();

  for (int32 i = 0; i < element-=""> GetChildCount(); i ++)

  {

  ChildRef = element XMLReference-> GetNthChild (i);

  InterfacePtr child_element (childRef.Instantiate ());

  tagUID = child_element-> GetTagUID();

  elementName = child_element-> GetTagString();

  Int32 index = 0;

• How can I get a standard text block can be found on the last page of my documents?

  How can I get a standard text block can be found on the last page of my documents without having to type in all the time? I have a mission statement with a line to the signature of the customer who I want on the last page of my bills and now I have to type every time or cut and paste a previous invoice. I already have a Master Page that contains customer information and my company at the top of each page, and I use the data merge to fill each page with the ordered items and photos etc. I would just have this mandate type block automatically appear on the last page after the last element in the data merge.

  Thank you all in advance for your help.

  Create a new master based on the one you have now and add the block, then change the master applied to the last page.

• How can I create a series of blocks of text using the Excel list values?

  It is first of all, the first script I am trying to write from scratch. I'm completely green at the script and I picked up a few bits of ID Adobe scripting guide, but nothing has really stuck still relating to this particular goal.

  My supervisor maintains a master list of advertising space, with the name of the account, is the width of the space, and how space is the height, in an Excel sheet. These spaces can number in the hundreds, and I'm stuck manually drawing a rectangle for each space, which takes a lot of time.

  I would like to create / helped to create a script that will take these values and "magically" to draw these spaces in the form of blocks of text, with the width (in columns) and the height (in inches) defined by the values in the main list, as well as the name of each account in the subsequent text frames.

  The script didn't necessarily need to be able to pull the values directly from the Excel sheet; Can I transfer a file text if necessary, or directly in the script, values he change because I need it. A great thing (if she is not able to pull directly from an Excel sheet) which is the number of spaces a week changes, and so do the accounts and the width and height. Accordingly, it would be ideal that values of the sheet could be modified easily, in order to create a new set of spaces as necessary.

  Positioning for each space is not crucial, only the height and width. If they were all on top of each other on the same page, it is a result for me. The main idea is to not have to draw them all manually, one by one.

  For me, this looks like a command, but I hope that some experienced there Scripting Guys can help me, because I want to become experienced as well.

  Thus, the TL; DR version:

  -Script to draw a series of text blocks.

  -Size of the text boxes should be defined by the values width and height of spreadsheet Excel.

  -Text blocks must have the account name as content (from account in the Excel worksheet names).

  -Accounts, width and height changes every week in the Excel sheet, so must be relatively easy to exchange all values.

  -Width values on the Excel worksheet columns. It would be ideal that the script could turn those numbers into multiples of columns as necessary.

  -Script (optionally) can take values directly from Excel sheet.

  -Script (option) can set the fill color for the gray text frame. (If it works as I think, I could just select all the resulting images of the text myself and put them all to grey at the same time... I'm not lazy as )

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help in any way possible, even if it's just a little push in the right direction. This script will save 1 to 2 hours of boredom every week.

  Look like the perfect thing for the InDesign scripting.

  I copy content from Excel to a text file, for a format easily read in InDesign, and there will automatically be a TAB for each 'cell', just using copy and paste.

  Here is a piece of code, perhaps you could go on with (the addition of variable to change pages and the location on the page and other things).

  The readFileLineByLine function, can be easily reused with any function using "recall". You simply tell the function what you want to be executed for each line of text that reads:

  const COLUMN_WIDTH = 2; // Define the column width in inch
  
  var pageIndex;
  var textFramesExported; // not implemented.
  
  // Add a new dokument. Set myDoc to app.activeDocument to use
  // the current document instead of creating a new one.
  var myDoc = app.documents.add();
  
  // The doSomethingWithTextRow function is called upon for every line of text read.
  readFileLineByLine('c:\\test.txt', doSomethingWithTextRow);
  
  function doSomethingWithTextRow(row){
      // We expect the text line to be TAB separated (\t = TAB). We get that from just copying the contents of an
      // excel file into a text document.
      var cells = row.split('\t');
      var companyName = cells[0]; // The Company name in the first slot of the array
      var width = COLUMN_WIDTH * cells[1];
      var height = cells[2];
  
      // Create a new text frame for every row handled
      if (pageIndex==undefined) pageIndex = 0; // Count up when you have exported a number of texts, I leave this for you to do.
      var newTextFrame = myDoc.pages[pageIndex].textFrames.add();
      newTextFrame.contents = companyName;
  
      // The text frame is created in the top left corner.
      newTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, height + ' in', width + ' in']; // Top, Left, Bottom, Right 
  
      // You might want to move the textframes to other positions, keeping track of how many you put out per page.
      newTextFrame.move( [10, 10] );
  }
  
  function readFileLineByLine(path, callbackFn){
      var myFileIn = new File(path);
      if (File.fs == 'Windows'){
          // This was probably added to recognize UTF-8 (even without its start marker?)
          myFileIn.encoding = 'UTF-8';
      }
      myFileIn.open('r');
      var myEncoding = myFileIn.encoding;
      try{
          if (!myFileIn.exists){
              throw('Missing file: ' + myFileIn.fsName)
          }
          var ln = '';
          while(!myFileIn.eof){
              // Read the lines from the file, until an empty line is found [now as a remark].
              ln = myFileIn.readln()
              // if(ln !='' && ln!='\n'){
                 // Call the function supplied as argument
                 callbackFn(ln);
              // }
          }
      }catch(e){
          alert(e);
          gCancel = true;
      }
      finally{
          myFileIn.close();
      }
  }
  

  The file in C:\ in my example was recorded in UTF-8 format and looks like this (showing hidden characters):
