• 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):

• If is it possible to apply the wiggle expression loop to individual characters in a block of text?

  I'm relatively new to After Effects and text animation. What I was, I was wondering if there is a way to essentially take the effect of a wiggly selector, rotation, which applies to each individual character, and then pass? Also impressive that the expression 'loop wiggle' is, it seems to apply only to the entire text block.

  Selectors of expression work on indexes text and the expression of Dan is not adapted specifically work on text animators. It only returns a uniform value. You have to build a loop around it for each character through the clues. If you really have such a short text, it can be faster and easier for you to understand, to use only the many animations of text because there are letters and limit the influence of each in a single character...

• Blocks of text on the Pages of body 'Buried' after update of the Page Master

  I have a background full screen on my main page (on the left in this case) that integrates static graphics and borders for certain master pages. I use the borders/boxes for NOTE and END of text on some pages. Blocks of text on these master pages do not overlap. I added text blocks with my icons and the text of the note to these body Pages that I need them. All great so far.

  I decided to update the background chart on page master to change colors, etc.. All files are linked.

  Now, with funds master page updated, these pages where I added text blocks are 'buried' as on a sublayer. I checked that my Master Page background images are "sent back". I tried to wear my text boxes at the front on the Pages of my body, but they are still hidden. Interesting as the anchored frame (the icon), I attached to each NOTE or TIP point appears, but the text is not. Also, I can see and select the contours of the block... the text is hidden. If I drag the fame to another part of the document (for example, on top of another Master Page text frame sank, while the text is displayed.

  There is no image on the master page to the enclosed area. I wonder if that's what I need trouble. Just add a backstory (not attached flow)?

  Advice before I go and screw something else?

  It is what it is supposed to look like (1). Image (2) what I mean now.

  

  

  Thanks Arnis,

  It was the property of skin! How simple... I didn't have on this subject.

  Solved!

  To answer you question, however... my approach for the construction of this new model was:

  1. I created a graph from bottom (full page) to contain the image of brand and imported/positioned.
  2. I placed the header and a footer frame and filled with content.
  3. I placed the blocks of text with streams (as a single stream in this document).

  I'm not dropping blocks of text for the content of the body... except for these tips and remarks. I don't want to use a workflow for this because I never know where they'll pop up and I want to be able to (position) specifically on each page. Is this a good approach?

  Yes, I'm aware of the continuous line down the block of text NOTE you mentioned. Originally, I had all the text within the limits. When I have updated master, all offbeat pages (only in blocks of text body page with notes/tips). I repositioned and they flow very well now.

  Thank you very much for your help continues with it. Why these problems always pop nitpciky - up to date - not when things are slow!

  You would be better to use a flashdrive rather than an Ethernet cable. To connect using an Ethernet cable you need a crossover cable and then configure the network cards.

• find and delete blocks of text with the same geometricBounds

  Hi writer... .new question from here:

  mySelection var = app.activeDocument.selection [0] .geometricBounds;

  alert (mySelection);

  throughout the document, I need search and delete blocks of text with the same geometricBounds.

  If possible, the same dimensions, but not the same positions.

  Thanks for the help!

  OK Bala... .in to decimal differences, some executives have not been removed.

  I solved with "Math.round' instead of 'number '.

  ===================

  mySelection var = app.activeDocument.selection [0] .geometricBounds;

  var myWidth = Math.round(mySelection[3]-mySelection[1]);

  var myHeight = Math.round(mySelection[2]-mySelection[0]); Alert (myHeight);

  var allFrames = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

  While (t = allFrames.pop ()) {}

  {if (t.IsValid)}

  var myTextframe = t.geometricBounds;

  var myTWidth = Math.round(myTextframe[3]-myTextframe[1]);

  var myTHeight = Math.round(myTextframe[2]-myTextframe[0]);

  If ((myWidth == myTWidth) & (myHeight == myTHeight)) {}

  t.Remove ();

  }

  }

  }

  ===================

  Now, your script works great!

  Thank you very much!

• CS5 - most effective way to wire and independent streams of two blocks of text in the same document?

  Greetings...

  I am responsible for creating a 100-page instructor guide and I looking for a little guidance in the use of independent text blocks that thread the length of the document.  The idea behind the use of two columns, is that the first column (left) must be used for the notes 'instructor-only', advice, etc..  The second column (right) should be used for the text of the student guide.  Two columns (or blocks of text) would need to move independently of each other.  In other words, when the left column is filled with text placed on the page, the flow of additional text in the left column on page two, left column on page three, etc.  Same thing applies to the right column.  There is no link or thread of the text between the two columns on the same page.

  I tried to reproduce this in a two-column table format, however, the table row height is limited and overset text will not continue the table in the block of text on the next page.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Set up master page text frames.

  If you use facing pages, put on the student to the student and executive trainer instructor on master pages.

  Be very careful when your document is redéroule however. Take a look at this discussion, we had recently on the subject:

• In Acrobat XI, how can I select and move multiple blocks of text/image at the same time on the same page?

  I work with PDF files generated by student requiring all content in a specific range of margin. Occasional tables and figures are indented or otherwise properly spaced so that the content violates the margin requirement. In Acrobat X, I could use the selection tool to draw a selection rectangle around all text and lines of a table for example and just drag the entire table over a little to meet the requirements without referring the PDF to the author for correction. It did not always work, but quite often that I was able to use it on a daily basis.

  Is it possible to select several (but not ALL) blocks of text and image on a page pieces, so they may be submitted at the same time? If I have to select each text block and lines (or each point and in a chart) and move them each individually, it's going to be a nightmare.

  I have Acrobat XI for Mac and Windows, but tend to use the version of Windows more often.
  

  People have reported what happens when preview of the output (I think) window is open. So you can close.  have not heard of another fix
