  As a first step, you must necessarily swatches Pantone in your document.

  

  Then it's easy:

  Change this:

  // measurement line color
  var color = new RGBColor;
  color.green = 255;
  color.blue = 0;
  

  to do this:

  // measurement with Pantone line color
  var color = doc.swatches.getByName('Pantone 485 C').color
  

  That's all.

• Pls fix my script for the creation of script label

  Hello

  I want to add the script label name in Masterpages only which was in options 'thread of text. Is it possible by script?

  This is my code

  }
  
  
  Instead of first line I want to create this script label "textpage" for master page 'text thread' text frame only
  

  Instead of the first line, I want to create this script name "enriched" page master "thread of text" text frame only. How to change my script pls help me?

• Suddenly unable to change script labels

  All of a sudden, I can't change the labels of script for one of the images in a document that I'm putting in CS4. Or, to be precise - ID won't remember/honor the changes I made. I can type a new value in the Script label Panel and pass, but when I go back and look at this new framework, the old script label is always there - my change was scrapped / unknown.

  Any ideas? I have restart ID, without change.

  Try an export to .inx...

• Run the Script on the Open Document event

  OK so I know about the spectacle of afterOpen and I think I understand how to use it, however, I do not understand how to open to a specific document.

  I don't want this script runs on all the documents that I opened, I would like to incorporate into a document and then run it whenever I open this document. Is this possible?

  Maybe run the script in the script label?

  Or I just put a script in the start Panel, and then create a session script that checks the name of each document open and then runs the script, if I have a match?

  Thank you

  As you chart put it in the startup scripts folder

  //startup script
  #targetengine "session"
  main();
  function main(){
      var myEventListener = app.eventListeners.add("afterOpen", excuteScriptLabel);
  }
  
  function excuteScriptLabel(myEvent){
            //The parent of the event is the document.
            var myDocument = myEvent.parent;
      if (myDocument.constructor.name == "Document") {
          if (myDocument.label != "")
              app.doScript(myDocument.label, ScriptLanguage.javascript);
      }
  }
  

  Then try this line on a document and save it, and then open the same file and a few others, you will notice that this code only run on this document:

  app.activeDocument.label = "alert (\"Yes\");";
  

• After using the iphone app, I get error: "unable to get labels for the script.

  Hello

  I think that this is related to the iphone app for Adobe Story. I added some comments on my script using the application, now when I try and open my script, I get an error; "Unable to get labels for the script.

  I tried Internet Explorer 9 and the desktop application. Both produce the same error.

  The script is completed to 55 pages, so I really don't want to lose...

  Thank you

  Hi Chris,

  We have fixed the problem and shared the document with you back. You can accept the notification, copy the document into a new (to be an owner) and work on it now. Meanwhile, we will also investigate why the problem occurred at all.

  Sorry for the inconvinience.

• Modification of the example Script to harvest in the ID

  I need help changing the way brand script sample harvesting works in InDesign.

  It works very well for the addition of benchmarks of crop to the objects in the document, but my company needs to be placed slightly different crop marks.  The best way I can describe it is to refer to the example below. The script gives item A crop marks.   I need them to resemble the B element. Both sets show crop marks that are long quarter of an inch and a quarter inch away from the image. I need them to be linked as b. and have the long side of the crop mark be the edge and not the short side, as if it has.

  

  Ideally, we would have also the script create a text box created for text in Bell Gothic Std, "BOLD", 9 pt, centered between the marks of low crop, but it's just in a perfect world.

  Any help is appreciated as I have no knowledge script to do this on my own and do not have the opportunity to learn.

  Thank you!!

  Ann

  * Ceci post earlier in the regular indesign forum by mistake. My apologies for the double post.

  Write a completely new scenario is easier than figgering what to change, then:

  prevHMU = app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits;
  prevVMU = app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits;
  app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.POINTS;
  app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.POINTS;
  for (s=0; s
  Copy, paste into a text editor (or in the ExtendScript editor that comes with InDesign). Save it as "MyCustomCropmarks.jsx" (or any other useful name) in your scripts folder.
  The script creates the four points and the text box as a bonus. The police should be put right - if it errors on this line, the name maybe isn't correct.
  Use: select one or more of your images and double-click the script. (It's true: it also works on more than one image!)
  		   

• How to change the label color in the script Labelgraphics in?

  I use the ID CS4 and run the script Labelgraphics to tag multiple images in a document of great size. When I run the script thre, the box with the name of the file is transparent with black text. I wish that the box was white with black text. Is it possible to edit the script that will allow this? It would be great if there was a 'style of object' in addition to 'paragraph style' in the pop-up of script execution. Anyone?

  I was going to try but decided to look around a bit. See Change Script adds captions from the Clipboard to Images. The script modified by Steve Wareham allows to set a background color; and you can use the drop-down list Style to select a paragraph style that has "[Book]" as the color of the text.

  [Edit] UM. You want black text. Well, essentially it is that put you it in the style of paragraph for your caption, so still no sweat.

• launchd works but the script is run?

  I have looked for answers here, but could not find them. So my question is this: I created a launchd like this: com.schedule.arp.plist

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.schedule.arp.plist</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Library/Scripts/arp.sh</string> </array> <key>StartInterval</key> <integer>300</integer> </dict> </plist>

  I can see that the computer runs every 5 minutes as it should. Here is the console:

  Apr 21 09:46:39 eps-amsterdam com.apple.xpc.launchd [1] (com.schedule.arp.plist [2946]): Service came out with abnormal code: 1 Apr 21 09:51:39 eps-amsterdam com.apple.xpc.launchd [1] (com.schedule.arp.plist [3274]): Service came out with abnormal code: 1 Apr 21 09:56:39 eps-amsterdam com.apple.xpc.launchd [1] (com.schedule.arp.plist [3554]): Service came out with abnormal code: 1 Apr 21 10:01:39 eps-amsterdam com.apple.xpc.launchd [1] (com.schedule.arp.plist [4156]): Service came out with abnormal code: 1

  The actual script is here:/Library/Scripts/arp.sh it contains the following:

  #!/bin/sh sudo php56 /opt/local/apache2/htdocs/epsamsterdam/arpreach_full/a.php cli/auto

  But this last part is not executed? Manual to hit this command in the terminal works very well. So where should I go wrong? I am running to El Capitan 10.11.4

  First, if the job should run as root, it should be in/Library/LaunchDaemons with appropriate permissions (owned by and writable only by root). Eliminate the 'sudo' to the script. Provide the full paths to 'php56' and ' cli/auto '.

• How can I get the control specifies a reference (by the script)?

  By what method of property can I control that specifies a reference? (See an example of a reference to the code snippet).

  

  When I reference (ControlReferenceConstant in the script), I can't get control of the reference points to. I guess it's done with the property ' reference control bound to. " But I don't know how to convert the variant to the control. Conversion to the control class does not work. (See excerpt below). Conversion does not return an error, but the reference is not valid.

  

  A few details: the variant contains a reference to a control and has a name matching [2]. The type of reference data is just as well [3]. But the reference is 0, which is of course invalid digital show (seen in the probe and indicator).

  An entire book would be to iterate through all controls (indicators included as well as items in clusters and berries). The label could be the first check. But because they do not have to be unique is not enough. As a second step could be verified that the ReferenceConstant is listed by the property "nodes of control."(delede contrôle) reference ".

  [1] LV12 helps ControlReferenceConstant properties:

  http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvscript/controlreferenceconstant_p/

  [2] get the variant name with:

  Select 'Type of Show' in the context menu of indicator varying or

  OpenG VI 'get name of data '.

  NIs in \Utility\VariantDataType\GetTypeInfo.vi VI

  [3] get the Refnum Type in the variant with

  NIs in \Utility\VariantDataType\GetRefnumInfo.vi VI

  If you look at using the property, you will see that it actually returns the data type of the node, not the actual control. That's way, you cannot use the reference in variant - it's not a real reference to a control.

  I think it's all just an oversight that no one added to the relevant property to the node, but there is a simpler solution for you that I think should work, that should come to him on the other side - for each control in the public Service, get the property [] of control reference nodes and it look for the reference of your node. If you found it, the node made reference to this control.

• management of the script errors when using the step of the call placed

  I have a script which is activated by a trigger of jtapi. At some point places the caller on hold, makes a call using step Place call, plays a prompt and then terminates the call.

  If the trigger (first contact) hangs up when the phone for the second contact rings, when the second contact answers the phone plays the default script or "Sorry we currently live the problems of the system."

  Here's what I did (without success) to try to get around it: changed the default script for the application (do not know why it does not work.) This logic is invoked in a subflow, maybe that's the problem?), placed a Terminate step for the second contact in case of square step call, put in a bunch of steps On Error Goto who attend a stage finish to the second contact.

  Brandon, until the original caller is replaced, an 'exception' will be thrown.

  To make up for it, to the step "On Exception GoTo" > choose the ContactInactiveException > choose the label you want the call to go into the script > clears the exception (on no exception) and then play your .wav file (sorry, the band hung up.. blah, blah) > and then terminate.

  who should git'r done.

  Pleae rate useful positions.

• Apply the shift via the script

  Hello

  from Toon Boom, I have many animations frame by frame vectored in the form of PDF files that need to be converted to SVG.

  Using an Illustrator script I found on the web, it is no big deal.

  This is the script:

  Due to some other issues, I am currently for any compensation my graphics using the object > path > offset in Illustrator and assigning a value of 0.001 mm.

  I thought that it is the simplest solution, and after that, the graphics are perfectly fine.

  The problem is that it is not only a few simple graphics, but animations with often more than 200 images (which would mean 200 PDF files to edit).

  It manually all would be almost impossible.

  So I'm wondering if there isn't a way to add the offset command to the script, so all of my PDF files have been applied all offset by being converted into SVG.

  Would it be possible (I'm really hoping so)?

  I just need a way to automate that. An action recording can be useful for some images, but I think rather in a batch operation.

  Thank you!

  but you can use actions on a lot!

  Use the 'batch' option in the drop down palette menu actions. It allows you to perform an action on a folder of files.

• Select all the script maps

  Hi all

  Hoping someone out there can help, I need my script to end with one of the following 3 options:

  Select all: as in "cmd one"

  Select all the objects on the layer "Tabs".

  Select all the objects with the Script title boxes"tabs".

  Reason being, when the script ends I need a bunch of boxes to be pre-selected loan for a manual deselect by 1 point (chosen by the user) and then they Deletes selected objects manually to finish. (I didn't understand my original script here as has no impact on the autonomous part I need for the final selection)

  Hoping that this is a simple script but as it is rare to have a script of object selection and not do something with them, I think it's impossible to create.

  Thank you, Bren

  Read the object model and you will find that the equivalent script Cmnd + A is as follows:

  app.selection = null;
  pItems = app.windows[0].activeSpread.pageItems;
  app.select (pItems, SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
  

  To select all items in the layer tab page, filter the items in the page:

  app.selection = null;
  pItems = app.windows[0].activeSpread.pageItems;
  
  for (i = pItems.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (pItems[i].itemLayer.name === 'Tab') {
      app.select (pItems[i], SelectionOptions.ADD_TO);
    }
  }
  

  To select objects with a certain script label is a variant of the (or an addition to) the second script.

• hide the text label in the section report IR under certain conditions

  Hello
  We have a textlabel and a calculated field in a section of report to the IR 11.1.2.1. Is it possible (in a script) to hide the textlabel and field based on certain conditions, like for example, if the field computes to 'zero '?
  Thank you.

  Use a field instead of the text label. In the Expression Editor you can use the function if() {} else {}

• is it mandatory to run the script preclone.pl on DB level as well as on retainer for Apps

  Hi guys,.
  
  is it mandatory to run the script preclone.pl on DB level as well as on the application on the Source layer.
  
  If I'm not going to run the preclone script then cloning is possible?
  
  Environment:
  
  Oracle Apps: R12
  
  Database: 10.2
  
  Kind regards
  Sachin

  is it mandatory to run the script preclone.pl on DB level as well as on the application on the Source layer.

  Yes, it's mandatory.

  If I'm not going to run the preclone script then cloning is possible?

  Cloning can be done without preclone. You can run preclone while the services are on the rise and running.

  FAQ: Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID 216664.1]--19. # Don't fast Clone modifies the source system?

  Thank you
