[JS] [CS5] My Script will not remove any cardboard in CS5

Hi all

We used this script in years, but CS4 now I try it in CS5 and it removes everything, not only the items on the pasteboard. I know there are a few changes with pageItems in CS5 and I suspect it has something to do with the problem, but I can't. Any help would be greatly appreciated as usual. Also, I took out cela a script that Dave Saunders created for us. I would use it in another script, that I am currently working. I know that's not pretty as if it were when Dave created, but I tested this in CS4 and it works, if you can clean at all too, would be great.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;


deleteAllPasteboardItems(myDoc);

function deleteAllPasteboardItems(myDoc) {
          var myPIs = myDoc.pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
          for (var j = myPIs.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
               var page = findPage(myPIs[j]);
               if (page === null) {
                    // must be on Pasteboard -- can't be overset
                    try
                    {
                         myPIs[j].locked=false;
                         myPIs[j].remove();
                    }
                   catch (err)
                    {
                    }
               }
          }
     }




     function findPage(theObj) {
          if (theObj.hasOwnProperty("baseline")) {
               theObj = theObj.parentTextFrames[0];
          }
          while (theObj != null) {
               var whatIsIt = theObj.constructor;
               switch (whatIsIt) {
                    case Page : return theObj;
                    case Character : theObj = theObj.parentTextFrames[0]; break;
                    case Cell : theObj = theObj.insertionPoints[0].parentTextFrames[0]; break;
                    case Note : ; case Footnote : theObj = theObj.storyOffset; break;
                    case Application : return null;
               }
               if (theObj == null) return null;
               try
               {
                    theObj = theObj.parent;
               }
               catch (ignored)
               {
               }
          }
          return theObj
     } // end findPage

Thanks again,

Danny

Hey Danny,

In ID CS5 any top-level page point belongs to spread even if it is on a page, so your findPage function no longer works. Fortunately the DOM offers now a parentPage property that returns the null value if the object has no parent page (= does not hit any page).

The following excerpt should do the job:

// ===============================================
// Remove Pasteboard Items / InDesign CS5+
// ===============================================

removePasteboardItems(app.documents.length && app.activeDocument);

function removePasteboardItems(/*?Document*/doc)
{
    if( !doc ) return;

    var items = doc.pageItems.everyItem().getElements(),
        t = null;

    while( t=items.pop() ) t.parentPage || removeItem(t);

    t = items = null;
}

function removeItem(/*PageItem*/item)
{
    try {
        item.locked = false;
        item.remove();
        }
    catch(_){}
}

  • Tecra M1 will not read any type of SD card

    Help!
    According to the title, my M1 will not read any type of SD card. I'm running the SP2 of XP reloaded from original floppies, and it is fully up-to-date with Windows Update.
    The little green light adjacent to the slot flashes briefly on the insertion of a card, but nothing happening for example no open option window and nothing visible in my computer.

    I downloaded the latest drivers and installed according to the directives of the readme.txt file and even thought to copy the SDDEVMGR.dll in the System32 folder.
    I obviously lack something, so any help or pointers are welcome.

    Thank you very much. Craig

    Hello

    Usually, books are not all sizes of SD card and so you should be sure that the used SD card is supported and compatible with the Tecra M1 card reader.

    But if you are using a compatible SD card the laptop should be able to read/write on the SD card.
    I try to remove the SD card in the Device Manager controller and remove the driver software malfunction. Restart the computer and install the latest drivers again.

    PS: A registry cleaning would be desirable. CCleaner is a great registry cleaning applications

  • Outlook Express 6 - recently emptied my folder deleted items, but now I can not remove any messages in my Inbox

    For my sins, I always use Outlook Express 6 for my e-mail personal. Recently, I've erased my deleted items folder, but now I can not remove any messages in my Inbox. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Outlook Express has never reduced the file size of the file folder deleted during the clearance of the output folder. Instead he left a lot of dead space that has not been used for something beyond too much space.

    The good news is that if you simply, locate the Outlook Express mail storage folder and delete the Deleted.dbx file, Outlook Express will recreate a new vacuum the next time it starts up.

    1. Open Outlook Express and access Tools, Options of dialogue,Maintenance tab, click store folder and copy the location. Close Outlook Express.
    2. Click on Start, run or the Windows key + R to rap then paste in the location previously copied and press on . The storage folder should open.
    3. Remove or rename the Deleted.dbx file.
    4. Close the file, and then restart Outlook Express.

    That should solve your problems of deletion. You can also run a Compact on your other files .dbx tabmaintenance Tools, Options dialog box.

  • Outlook express 6 will not receive any e-mail, send e-mail

    Outlook express 6 will not receive any email from verizon but not email.  Tired separate identify and clear and redo account?

    An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'incoming.verizon.net', server: 'incoming.verizon.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, error number: 0x800C0133

    Now it means everything. Error number: 0x800C0133 = a corrupt Inbox.

    Move any message you want to save to a local folder that you create. Then, remove the problem of Inbox as follows.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and delete it. Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager correctly or you see a yellow exclamation mark on it?

  • T520 will not use any device DVD

    People,

    I was going to do a backup, when I noticed that the DVD player was no longer under my computer.

    I when in Device Manager, where he showed with a yellow X... I tried to update the device driver, it said that I had the right device. I've done many other things - nothing has worked.

    I really wanted to get the backup made, so I took my portable DVD player/burner and plugged. The laptop computer found a loaded device OK... but it does not appear in my computer. I had the same problem as the DVD drive internal.

    Then I got a USB drive external Passport, connected to the same USB port, no problems... He mounted the disk and I made the backup.

    My T520 will not use any device DVD... ideas?

    the windows system restore feature is a very important system.

    and if it is defective or failed in some way, then this may be a sign that your whole system could be damaged or unstable.

    what you can try is execution of the system via safe mode restore.

    If this does not work yet, so the next step is to move your personal files, documents, photos and send boxes out of the system because the following methods that will help restore your system can put your personal files safe.

    Try this program
