• CS3 and Delphi: Place pdf in indesign

  Hello

  I'm developing a script with Deplhi that automates the creation of documents.

  I would like to be able to place pdf documents in an InDesign document. I adapted a script I found in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3013174

  I didn't define the types appropriate for variables, because Delphi does not not typed variables. There was a line in particular that I had to change completely:

  myPDFPage = myPage.place(File(myPDFFile), [0,0])[0];
  

  The nervous parameter must be an array of double, and missing parameters should be defined. Finally, the following worked:

  var
    APoint:      array of double;
  
  begin
    ...
    SetLength(APoint, 2);
    APoint[0] := 0;
    APoint[1] := 0;
    myPage.place(Filename, APoint, ActiveDocument.Layers[1], false, false);
    ...
  

  Original, the result of the function of the place is assigned to the myPDFPagevariable in the script, and I have problems to get this assignment work. Often uses TypeLib by as olevariants and we must understand ourselves what types are permitted and must be used, and what kind of actors.

  In the original script follows this code:

  myFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
  

  Only interfaces in the type library that have a property called pdfAttributes are PDF and ImportedPage. But none of these types of work if I set pdfAttributes of this type. I'm not sure if that place seems to return a table only adds additional problems. Most of the time, TypeLib tables are based at index 1, not zero.

  But I tried

  var
    APoint:      array of double;
    myPDFPage:   PDF;
  begin
    ...
    myPDFPage := PDF(myPage.place(Filename, APoint, ActiveDocument.Layers[1], false, false)[0]);
    ...

  and

  var
    APoint:      array of double;
    myPDFPage:   ImportedPage;
  begin
    ...
    myPDFPage := ImportedPage(myPage.place(Filename, APoint, ActiveDocument.Layers[1], false, false)[0]);
    ...

  and even with the array index to 1 instead of 0 and without a clue. But none of this should be compiled without error.

  Justifications know how this command line must be or what type of myPDFPage ?

  And more generally: how could determine the types possibla of a parameter, variable, or return type which is an OleVariant in the type library?

  I found a few InDesign CS3 scripts specific documents PDF here: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/scripting/, but no reference full of functions and types.

  Best regards

  Hi Christian

  I don't know if anyone else uses Delphi on this forum.

  But here is what I get JS - we will perform a simple test:

  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var myPDFFile = new File("~/Desktop/Sample.pdf");
  var page = doc.pages[0];
  app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = 1;
  var a1 = page.place(myPDFFile, [0,0]);
  var a2 = a1[0];
  

  A1 returns an array of objects PDF, but declare you it as doubles. AFAIK, it is always an array of single item since you cannot place more than one page pdf at a time.
  A2.constructor.name;
  Result: array

  A2 returns the class PDF object
  A2.constructor.name;
  Result: PDF

• Place the pdf into Indesign CC previews possible previous version bug

  I am just placing the pdf in Indesign, see the import options box pulls up earlier versions of the pdf file. The pdf is a 4-page newsletter that I've separated into 4 individual pds but the when I place it in indesign, he wants to pass the original pdf (UN-separated) file. I re-recorded and moved the pdf separated, but did not helped, also, I restarted my computer and tried a new indesign document.

  

  

  You crop in the PDF?

  I'm not 100% certain that your problem is, so tell me if I'm wrong. In my example below, I have a cropped PDF. If I placer place in InDesign, and then select crop to: Bounding Box (as in your example), the entire image is available. Cropping in Acrobat is temporary and may be uncropped. When I choose the harvest: harvest (as in my example), it happens only with acreage (in my case, the part in the framing box).

  Play with these settings to see if you get the desired results and report.

  

• A customer told me we can open and edit PDFs inside InDesign CS5.5

  Hello

  I have a problem with a customer, she told me that she can edit PDFs with InDesign CS5.5 so far.

  I check on his computer, and now she had a mistake (in french): pdf file is not supported a module is maybe missing.

  On the web, I realized you can import pdf files, but you cannot edit them with InDesign unless you use PDF2ID a sales module.

  If she's telling me the truth? Edit is possible and his InDesign is broken, or you cannot change PDFs inside InDesign?

  Thank you for your help.

  You can place a PDF file in an InDesign document, but you cannot modify it. You can make small amounts of editing PDF documents in Acrobat Pro.

  I wonder if your client is thought to an Acrobat form, where users can add data to text boxes and so on.

  Just a thought.

• interactive PDF in indesign by hypertext links caveat

  create ads that are interactive pdf in indesign with Hypertext and e-mail links links and now we are assembling the document back together in the form of a book, but on the import of the PDF in indesign, we get the

  Warning: 'this file can contain the most recent extensions or the information that this viewer can support. He can't open display correctly and cannot be changed. »

  When the PDF any hyperlinks on text work, but the hyperlinks on the images disappeared?

  Using the version cs5 v7.0.4

  If I read this correctly, you make a wrong assumption. You are assuming that if you have a PDF file with interactivity, that when you place in InDesign, it will retain its interactivity. This is false. This workflow will not work. InDesign does NOT read interactivity when placing a PDF file.

• Impossible to place pdf

  Hello to you all,.

  because today, I'm not able to place pdf files in Indesign (7.04) Win XP. The German error message is 'Öffnen der PDF-Datei fehlgeschlagen' translated it would be something like "cannot open the pdf Document.

  A restart of my computer DIND change anything. Old INDD documents with pdf files open without an error message. An attempt to reload the same pdf file in the same framework fails. (same error)

  Any suggestions?

  If you create a new user account, log on to it and try the same thing, okay?

  If so, connect again to the original account and try trashing preferences (see replace your preferences)

  If this isn't the case, I think that your installer has been damaged and you should first try a "repair" install by inserting the original disc and running the installer and if this also fails to solve the problem, uninstall, reboot, run the cleanup tool (see resolve installation problems with the CS5 cleaner tool and it also works for CS3) restarts, run MSConfig and disable all startup not essential, including antivirus, anti-malware programs, help browser and toolbars, instant messengers and iTunes, reboot and reinstall. Run MSConfig again to restore the normal startup.

• Can't print PDF from InDesign after update Microsoft anni

  Hi all, since the anni update I was unable to print PDFS from InDesign. No matter if I put PDF for default printer or use the option "Microsoft in PDF format; what I get is: "printing error: Adobe Print Engine failed at the end of your data due to an unknown problem. Sometimes it will print a little less than half of a 60-page document and that's all - it fails (but I get a PDF of that half...). Sometimes, it just goes straight to the error.

  Anyone know what is happening on our how to fix? I have a deadline...

  See you soon

  Steve

  Hi Dov, thanks for the reply. As mentioned earlier in this thread, I use export when I want to send it to the printing press. However, at this point, I am willing to create a test that is reduced file size and allows me to put all 60 pages of the document in a gap of seven pages using the print option of 3 x 3 thumbnails per page. It gives me a manageable file to send to several people for the document of proof and, at this stage, the output of high quality is not necessary.

  However, I seem to have solved my problem:

  As mentioned, the document prints 1-27 on a 60 page document (print, failed on page 28).

  The paper would not print the range 27-60, when I tried later.

  The document will print 30-60 range.

  Therefore, the problem lies in pages 27 and 28. I've got rid of the pdf linked to two pages and tried work a print - it worked. then, of course, my problem lies in one of the PDFs linked to each page 27 or 28. It turns out that when I opened the linked PDF (sent to me as a PDF from another company as an advertisement) on page 28 in PS, PS automatically rasterized image, I recorded to a location different, re-related in InDesign, and guess what - it worked. I got the impression that I asked who had already failed.

  So, this boiled down to a single work of art linked PDF requiring a pixelation...

  All the best

• How can I import a multipage (300pgs) PDF in InDesign CC

  How can I import a multipage (300pgs) PDF in InDesign CC. I prefer not to do it using the importer to file page by page. A valid script that will work with CC 2015 would be ideal

  Hello

  There is a script included with Indesign called PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx. That should do the job for you.

• Export interactive PDF in indesign, with the animation of the edge to the SWF file?

  Hello

  I have an interactive pdf in indesign with animation, works very well when they are exported to the swf file.

  I need to use more complex animations that Indesign has, so I created some new features of Adobe Edge animate, exported save them as a file .oam and then put them in the Indesign file.

  If I use the Preview on the animation tab I see indesign animations and the edge, but if I export it to a SWF file is - this only animation to indesign working, and if I export to epub file is only the edge animation work.

  Somehow it is possible to export so that the two works of animation types. and it is possible to do it in a SWF file.

  I have Creative Cloud 2014 for both programs

  Thank you!

  NO.

• Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign is "click to go to the next page" instead of "scroll to go to the next page?

  Anyone know how to export a PDF from InDesign is "click to go to the next page" instead of "scroll to go to the next page?

  I do not use the InDesign last, but in the past ID options for export to the format PDF did not define how a PDF should be considered once exported.  However, these settings can be adjusted in Acrobat via preferences: departure of layout and Zoom in the view of the Page.

• Button nail in interactive PDF from InDesign CC

  I designed an interactive PDF in InDesign CC. When I export and open it with Acrobat the 'buttons' have a blue fill (see them the color for the border of stationary fields).

  I know that I can go into my Acrobat preferences and disable this option however when sharing with other users the PDF I don't want that they have to make those changes in their Acrobat preferences or devrais I must. I understand the highlight color is important when creating text fields for forms, but it's a boring and useless feature for the "buttons".

  It also makes my custom buttons look crap. Is it possible in InDesign to turn off the highlight color before exporting to interactive PDF?

  See my screen capture below, you can see how it destroyed my design.

  

  Geigreg I am a designer as well and understand try this with my code above:

  `

  Acrobat X Pro, you will use the JavaScript Panel in the tool pane. You may need to display the JavaScript in the dropdown at the top right of the Tools pane.

  To add the script to the Document level, you then click Document JavaScripts. An opening of dialogue where you enter the name of the script (for example "highlighted". Then, a text editing box opens, where you can enter the code. Select the entire document and delete it. Then add the code as described above. Confirm and close the dialog boxes.

  For the willClose script, click the value of the Document Actions. Opens a dialog box where you can choose the events. Select close document. An edigint text box opens, where you can enter the code. Enter the code as described above. Confirm and close the dialog boxes.

  Save the document and reopen it.

  I hope this can help.

• How to convert a PDF fo InDesign CC 2014?

  I see that I can export to Microsoft programs or .rtf, but I do not see anywhere to convert to InDesign.

  Thank you

  Is not a. InDesign files have a complex structure that cannot be reconstructed from the data in a PDF file, although this native PDF from InDesign. There are some third-party products that try a conversion, but it is better in the long term to save the PDF file to RTF (Word, etc.) and which re - import a new model INDD, creating styles and graphics again from scratch.
