Change the characterstyle in all frames related texts
 
			 
Hi all
I have a problem in my javascript script. I want a script that check that all texts in the document management and check the characterstyle of each tank.
If there is a "-" in the text, the characterstyle will increase to normal. The problem is that I have not found the text in the textframe with javascript. I m new in the business.
I think that my approach is wrong, but I find a can´t another.
My code:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var FO = doc.textFrames.anyItem ();
paragraphs var = tf.paragraphs.everyItem () .getElements ();
var applied_style = doc.characterStyles.itemByName ('%');
var paras_with_style = [];
for (var i = 0, l = paras.length; i < l; i ++) {}
para var = paragraphs [i];
If (para.appliedCharacterStyle == applied_style) {}
ContentText var = para.contents;
If (contenttext == '-') {}
para.changeTextPreferences.position = Position.normal;
}
else {}
para.changeTextPreferences.position = Position.superscript;
}
}
}
Thanks for your help

Hi Alex
You must use Greps, read the book of Peter Karhels on it.
See if the fact below what you want.
Trevor
var doc = app.properties.activeDocument && app.activeDocument;
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'Cent';
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = '-';
app.changeTextPreferences.position = Position.NORMAL;
doc.changeText();
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
I have two frames of texts linked on one page. But during an iteration by using everyitem() he chooses the second before the first?
 
			 

Salvation by the Expert

I have two frames of texts linked on one page. But during a iteration using everyitem() he chooses the second before the first?
var ObjDoc = app.activeDocument;
var LstPara is ObjDoc.pages.everyItem ().textFrames.everyItem ().paragraphs.everyItem () .getElements ();.
for (c1 var = 0; c1 < LstPara.length; ++ c1)
{
by var = [c1] LstPara;
$.writeln (par.contents.toString ());
}

is there a specific reason for this? Please explain
			 
To solve your problem, try the following code:

var ObjDoc = app.activeDocument;
var LstTxtFrame = ObjDoc.pages.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().getElements();

for(var c1=LstTxtFrame.length-1;c1>=0;c1--)
{
    var LstPara = LstTxtFrame[c1].paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();
    for(var c2=0;c2

is there a specific reason for this? Please explain
Text blocks InDesign will work in LIFO method (last in first out), that is, the last image of text created will be treated as a first picture of the loop, so try the above code.

Remove frames of related texts that has the same content
 
			 
Hi Forum,
I have this script, this will remove all the textFrame which contained © LW...
There are several managers of related texts which contained © LW.
I want to keep a block of text that has content © LW in it.and remove all others textFrame which contained © LW.
myDoc var = app.activeDocument;
var myPageItems = myDoc.allPageItems;
for (var i = 0; i < myPageItems.length; i ++) {}
App.Select (myPageItems [i]);
mySel var = app.selection [0];
var Cont = app.selection.contents;
try {}
mySel.locked = false;
} catch (e) {};
If (mySel.constructor.name == "TextFrame") {}
If (mySel.contents == "© LW") {}
try {}
If (mySel.contents > 1) {}
mySel.remove ();
}
} catch (e) {};
}
App.Selection = null;
}
}
Thank you...
			 
myDoc var = app.activeDocument;
ignore the var = true;

How to link two executives of related texts?
 
			 
Hi all
I'm new to the sdk. I have UIDref of executives two related texts, how it can be screwed?
«Indesign 5.0»
Thanks in advance
A.Hakkim
			 
You must add the UID of the kMultiColumnItemBoss kTextLinkCmdBoss itemList.
For the multiColumnItemUID of kSplineItemBoss.
MultiColumnItemUID UID = kInvalidUID;
InterfacePtr iHierarchy (pageItemUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());

InterfacePtr iChild (iHierarchy-> QueryChild (0));

If (iChild &: GetClass (iChild) == kMultiColumnItemBoss)
{
multiColumnItemUID =: GetUID (iChild);
}
For the multiColumnItemUID of kFrameItemBoss.
MultiColumnItemUID UID = kInvalidUID;
InterfacePtr iHierarchy (iTextFrameColumn, UseDefaultIID());

InterfacePtr iParent (iHierarchy-> QueryParent());

If (iParent &: GetClass (iParent) == kMultiColumnItemBoss)
{
multiColumnItemUID =: GetUID (iParent);
}

I would like for all the blocks of text in a document to experiment with what properties return information.  I have a simple test document with as three different text blocks and I want information on each collection.  This loop for doesn't seem to work though, and I can't quite wrap my head around how work the textFrame objects and linked text frames.
Thanks for the help!

Dynamically linked and some text...
 
			 
OK so I obviously not looking for someone code this, but I hope to some "summer he does" entry type.
I have a set of files InDesign for the simplicities sake, I'll love novel and another game that is derived. Now, I would like to be able to simplify the text changes in InDesign novel to the derived files files. At this point, I am considering the bloated following strategy for most to wrap my brain around that, and then a final goal to dons the tool down to make things a little more unified.
(1) export the words of managers of related texts and Tables as separate text files. (No notes worry don't thank God). (At this point, I'm confident in my ability to this script).
(2) place the text files in the InDesign files in their respective places. (I did not do that, he's going to be a bit of a chore, but I feel like I can find a way to this script using geometricBounds and content... "I'm in a design phase).
(3) when the novel InDesign file, or once a day, the text script would be run and save the old text files. Set derivative updated InDesign file would detect links changed when it opened and the new text is filled.
It sounds simple enough, but I know with formatting, etc. things are going to get sticky real, real fast, but it feels like a better solution to extend the new changes to derivatives, one at a time. The alternative, I can image the track changes and then do a find replace on the dataset as an IDML.
In any case essentially in summary I want to push pieces of text of a set of documents in the other series of documents.
			 
I can see why John asked you about the translation, because what you describe is a pretty normal thing when you manage documents in 20 languages. 'Management' is the key word here; SDL has all sorts of 'content management tools' that make your work very easy. Unfortunately, these tools are very expensive, so they are more likely to be useful to you if you ask on behalf of 10 to 30 people. But it looks like it's just you, to be honest, so I won't go in the descriptions of global-team-cat-breeding tools unless you ask. (They are great, especially if you have herd of cats).
What I do when I'm in your shoes, it's that I'm doing a translation memory 'false '. I would align my document 'parent' against him, saying that the source language was en_US and the target was en_NZ. I could do this because translation memory tools Excel doing what you're trying to (reuse the same content outside of its original context, magically, without working laborious alt - tab to Ctrl-c Ctrl-v).  Of course, this is why SDL, a company that has built his fortune on the translation of tools of memory, has expanded his toolset to encompass the management of monolingual content. There are these other tools out there, of course, but I mention SDL, because if the translation is involved in your workflow there is a chance that you already have Trados. Anything that could do for you, if you were to do a fake TM I describe above, would be to get your 'master content' off ID and in a database, which is where it belongs if you want to try managing the contacts on this scale. This could be a homebrew database, or you could choose a content management tool that has been able to trigger the script to regenerate your stuff in InDesign. I can't propose something because I always ignore the content management tools that have no multilingual content management, localization and internationalization built in from the beginning.

Yes, homebrew: I don't know what is like your background in data bases. Because I had this conversation with the developers of database Mac of dozens of times over the years, this is where I usually mention Filemaker. What is your level of skills here? Because, honestly, if you wanted something script but don't know anything about databases, so I would say: move all of your content in Excel. Seriously. Save to CSV from there and put it in InDesign via to merge data. Manage content in Excel. Make people submit the changes in Excel. Manage the change tracking by writing scripting VBA to change tracking in Excel.

Well, there are other ways to do it on a roll-your-own basis, of course - I implemented a small SQL database, my client put in place a small online form for new presentations, and then we worked on getting the database to spit an XML well marked, we could then import in format ID and auto-magiquement. This workflow is usually very difficult, but because we have controlled how the XML has been marked up, it took place without a hitch. Most of the XML-in-ID projects are not as smooth, or so I heard. But I've never had to lift a finger to fix the XML, it has always been perfect and I thought that generally XML in ID projects require a lot of XSL transformations to make the data usable to all. But, once more, if you have the skills and tools, it is another technique of DIY-management content deserves to be studied. (But be careful if John posts on XML-> InDesign projects, his experiences were apparently also frustrating that the mine has been easy.)
TL; DR: Don't try to manage your content in InDesign. Out of your page layout tool in a container that makes sense, like a CMS, or a database Filemaker homebrew or even Excel.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Unable to send a link in a text with the latest version of Thunderbird.
 
			 
Since the download of the latest version of Thunderbird, I can no longer create a link in a text.
I emphasize the word, that I want the link to be associated with and click 'Insert', 'link' and when I try to paste the link in the link box, I get a message not declaring: "no named anchors or the positions on the page. This problem started with the new download.
			 
Dough press 'Ctrl' + 'V '.
Make a right click you can only select "named anchors", so if you have none then you get the message 'None of the named anchors or headings on the page' otherwise you would get a pop-up showing the named anchors.

Motion - Final Cut title - related text alignment
 
			 
I created a title Final Cut in Motion 5.
Then I copied the text to a different layer and created an animation.
The text of the first, is published, so I can customize later for Final Cut Pro X.
So the second text corresponds to the text of the edited user, I've added a link to the text using the source: Object.Text, Object.Text destination.
When I use it in Final Cut, the text is changed and I can even looking fonts, size etc.
The problem is, that the second text alignment is left, I even specified that it is centered.
How can solve this problem?
I can link somehow the alignment of another text?
Here's what it looks like in Motion 5:

Here is the title in Final Cut Pro X, where the animated text left aligned instead of centered:

Problem of position relative text object
 
			 
Hello
I have a problem by specifying the relative position of the object using DIAdem scripts.
I try to use the RelPosLst variable to set the position of the text relative to the 'right '. However, when I run the script, I always get "Center" as the relative text position. The following code example:
Call GraphObjNew ("FreeText", "Text3")
Call GraphObjOpen ("Text3")
TxtPosX = 14.7
TxtPosY = 57
TxtBold = True
TxtTxt = "Site:"& Site.
TxtFont = "Arial".
TxtSize = 4
RelPosLst = 'Right '.
Call GraphObjClose ("Text3")
I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you
Egor
			 
Hi Egor,
the RelPosLst variable is only the variable in the list of positions, you must use the TxtRelPos variable in your code.
Tip: If you want to get all the variables dialog box, open it and press on "Strg + a". With this, you copy all (scriptable) variables of the dialog box to the Clipboard and you can paste it in your VBScript. It's much easier to find the help file.
In the code:
Call GraphObjNew ("FreeText", "Text3")
Call GraphObjOpen ("Text3")
TxtPosX = 14.7
TxtPosY = 57
TxtBold = True
TxtTxt = "Site:"& Site.
TxtFont = "Arial".
TxtSize = 4
TxtRelPos = 'right '.
Call GraphObjClose ("Text3")
Call PicUpdate

You can link two dynamic text objects?
 
			 
This is a question about dynamic text objects.  Is it possible to link two dynamic text objects so that they flow together into an email or a landing page?
For example, say you have two dynamic text objects, DTO1 and DTO2.  Also assume that DTO1 can vary in length, for example, two lines of five lines.  Is it possible to establish that DTO2 runs immediately after DTO1 to say, a single line of space empty between them?  I see no way to do it in email or the landing page editor, but perhaps that there's a way to do it with html or another approach.
Thank you
Andy
			 
Hi Andy,.
Yes, to do this with html raw. Once you have the code, you can either put in the view of the source of a text box (if you use the Eloqua editor) or just throw in some test-tube html.
First of all, you need get the HTML for your dynamic elements. It's kind of awkward to get this code but not too difficult.
Open a downloaded landing page or sent e-mail. You can not access the landing pages or emails that have been built using the Eloqua editor code.
Display dynamic content browser and search for your dynamic elements
Drag them into the section code of your destination or by e-mail page
Copy the code that gets placed there then the output of the page destination or email without saving changes
The code should look like this:
It is a piece of sample code for an element of dynamic content
Now, when you build your email or a landing page which will contain both of these two elements of dynamic content just sticking two snippets in there and separate with a line break)

) to get the bit of empty space. As I've mentioned above, you can place code in the view of the source of a text box (if you use the Eloqua editor) or just throw in some test-tube html.
In fact, if your final product should be a page external destination loaded or email you could save yourself the time and code just in a place-holder when you generate your html code. Then when you're done uploading, please drag the dynamic elements in the code of the dynamic browser and add your line breaks.
The final code should look like this:
It is a piece of sample code for an element of dynamic content



This is another sample of code for an element of dynamic content

Link to related content of financial reports
 
			 Hello
I have developed a few reports financial information using 9.3.1 version.
I used the related content feature in order to get a link in one report to the other.
The problem is that the new report linked to related content opens in a new respect for different window of the source report.
I need to open the new report not in a new window, but in a new framework (just a new tab in the worspace env.)
I want to get the same effect I have when I run a report in the EPS of the workspace. without opening another window.


An idea whose settings or setting must be managed in order to achieve this behavior?


Thanks in advance.


Kind regards

Try to get a collection of frames of texts related with the second table in my document
 
			 
Hi all
There are two long tables in my document, and I want to do is to get the collection of blocks of text that contain the second table to resize (single height),
and set the number of columns to 3 columns and column gutter to 0, but I am unable to get the collection of blocks of text that contains the second table.
I also want to apply a different master page to the pages that contain the second table.
I know that I can change my number of columns and the gutter using script below, but the thing is I don't want the script to assign my first table,
and I can not also put the tables in separate the file because there are cross-references.
Script to change the gutter and the number of columns
app.findObjectPreferences.textColumnCount = 1;
app.changeObjectPreferences.textColumnCount = 3;
App.Documents.Item (0) .changeObject ();
app.findObjectPreferences.textColumnGutter! = 0 ;
app.changeObjectPreferences.textColumnGutter = 0;
App.Documents.Item (0) .changeObject ();
I'm new to javascript and I searched for solutions for several days, but still can not find how to get it work.
Any input will be appreciated!
