• JS/CS4: Create references from XML-Data

  Hi scripters.

  My problem is the following:

  I am importing and scripts of a XML file in InDesign.

  Now I would like to Insert a reference (notes) in my text.

  The insertion point is after the element < endnotesign >, the endnotetext itself is located at the end of the document (and is also numbered).

  When manually editing the document I chose-> "Insert reference" and then bind it with 'paragraph' then I choose a special definition "endnotestyle", it contained all the paragraphs, I now link the first one and inserting 'paragraph number' (which comes from the numbering of the "endnotestyle"). I have to do after each < endnotesign > element

  Is there a way to automate this?

  I am a bit confused with the IndesignObjects in ESTK as there are references and hyperlinks that are mixed together in this content.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  This is my first fragmentary essay:

  function processEndnotes() {}
  myIdName = "processEndnotes";
  This.XPath = "//endnotesign."
  This.Apply = function (myElement, myRuleProcessor) {}
  var myInsertionPoint = myElement.insertionPoints [0];
  mySource var = myDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.add (myInsertionPoint);

  How to set the destination in this case?

  var xRefForm = doc.crossReferenceFormats.item ("page nr.");
  
  source var = myDocument.crossReferenceSources.add (myInsertionPoint, xRefForm);
  myLink var = myDocument.hyperlinks.add (source, destination);
  myLink.visible = false;
  Returns true;
  }
  }

  Hey franziska.

• What are the asterisks on FrameMaker xrefs imported from an xml file?  label cross reference *.

  I think I have a problem in my cross-references and hoping that there is a simple-minded answer (as I do something real dumb). I import the generated content of xsl and references appear in square brackets by * asterisks. If I double-click on a reference, it seems to open the appropriate file (may be an xml file before saving any files to fm docs).

  THE FOLLOWING XML CODE:

  < CrossReference XRefID = "IDapplications_tb" size = "fm:Fig - Tbl-Ex-Proc # on"

  "page #" srcfile="./CPU-1_Introduction.fm#IDapplications_tb"/ >

  HERE'S THE RULE:

  /*

  * Reference element

  */

  element "Reference" {}

  FM reference element "reference";

  "XRefID" attribute

      {

  is the property of fm cross-reference id;

  is the attribute of fm;

      }

  attribute "format".

      {

  is the reference property formula fm;

  is the attribute of fm;

      }

  }

  In the FM wysiwyg format, it pops up something like this (with the asterisks):

  Text label *.

  What do the asterisks mean? Thank you

  Your XML specified

  format = "" fm:Fig - Tbl-Ex-Proc # on page # ""

  but the model used when you open the XML file does not contain a cross-reference with that name, then format FrameMaker created for you with a few fake definition.

• Cross-references in the output PDF from Framemaker: how to center the Pages?

  I think I understand quite well the functioning of cross-references in Framemaker, but one thing that bothers me, it's how, when you generate a PDF from Framemaker file and clicking on a reference, the resulting page view locates the cross at the top of a page reference marker.

  It's very annoying and confusing when, say, referring to a figure of legend that appears at the bottom of a page. Page display that results when such a reference in a PDF document after Center the text of the _following_ page, with the text of the legend of the barely visible figure at the top of the page.

  My question: is it possible to build cross references that show the page, when you click in a PDF document, is centered on the page that displays the cross-reference material?

  Thank you very much.

  Not AFAIK in FrameMaker.

  But in Acrobat, set the initial view one Page instead of continuous.

  File > properties > Initial View.

  

  Two upward (direction) and two up (cover Page) would also work.

• Cross reference marker text differs from the text on the page

  The text for a cross-reference marker is different from the written text of the page. For example, I have a numbered heading written as "3.1 Cats and Dogs", but the text of cross-reference to this position marker is "55227: title 1: 2.1 pigs and horses." The cross reference looks and works great on the page, but I can't understand why the text of the marker is different, and why it cannot be updated to match the text on the page.

  I use Windows XP and FM9. Thanks in advance.

  Ron,

  The target of a cross-reference marker must have a unique string that differentiates it from any other marker of cross-reference in the file... it is how Frame numbers how when it comes so it can maintain the link and make updates. As you have probably guessed, this string is a concatenation of way random (I think) integer to format BMP target and target the text of TFP at the time of the creation of the xref. With all these settings, it is easy to achieve the goal of a single string.

  It seems appropriate to have this text update during an update of the xref, if something changes in the target. However, this would create two problems:

  -All xrefs that are not being updated at the time wherever the marker is published would be broken. For example, suppose you have xrefs folder has a target and make updates, which modifies the marker of target due to changes to the target. Any xrefs in file B (or any file for that matter) would become broken, because they are still configured to search for the previous string of marker.

  -An update of the xref always you would have to save the changes to the target file, which is an inconvenience at best. For example, if you have made an update of the book and xref target markers have been changed, you'd have to make sure that the files associated with the changes were saved later, otherwise your xrefs update would be broken later.

  So, in summary, the text of the marker is just a unique identifier that is defined during the creation of the xref and necessarily must stay the same for its useful life, unless you want to go around fixing broken xref all the time. Moral of the story... do not put swearing or slandering of boss in your topics like temporary jokes if you never create xrefs their

• specify the format of the cross-reference in read/write rules?

  How can I specify a cross-reference in the rules format of reading/with import xml document?

  Gary,

  If you want all occurrences of the xref element to use the same format, you can specify the format of an InitialObjectFormat rule in ESD or use a rule r/w in the form:

  element 'figref.

  {

  is part of fm of reference;

  format FM property reference value is "Figure."

  }

  If you want to use different formats and have a particular element to specify that one, you can set an attribute whose value is the name of format with a rule like:

  "xref" element

  {

  is part of fm of reference;

  attribute ' xref-fmt' is the formula of property reference fm;

  }

  In fact, if your DTD defines an attribute called 'format', default FM it uses for this purpose.

• Eratic behavior: book, the main text blocks and Cross References

  I'm on InDesign 2014.2. Mac.

  I'm working on a fairly large book. About 14 chapters / sections, about 400 total pages. There are also hundreds of cross references, almost all of them to anchor references.

  The design of the book is as simple as possible. There is no graphics, text blocks only.

  I use a single master page, with facing pages, and a block of text type. I used it throughout the production of the book, and the primary text flow worked well, chapter after chapter. Pages have been created automatically, and automatically flowed text.

  Maybe I need to change the page size of the book, and I also have a lot of editing to do which will reduce a lot of the chapters. I wanted to make sure all pages use the main text flow to do that, go as gently as possible.

  To my dismay, I discovered that although I used systematically throughout the book master text streams, all but three of my chapters have inexplicably lost their text stream. All images in these chapters have converted into ordinary images. That I edit the book, it's playing havoc with paging and referrals.

  I tried to restore the flow of text in one of the first chapters. It's easy to do, in theory.

  • Move the first page off to the side frame
  • Delete all pages except the first page
  • Command-shift-click on the first page to restore the flow of the main text
  • Copy and paste the contents of the old frame into the primary stream restored.

  
  

  When I do, the pages to move properly, and I'm back to having a chapter with a block of primary text on each page. Unfortunately, this breaks all cross-references that refer to this newly reorganized chapter and all references to the front in this chapter.

  
  

  I tried to do all that I could imagine. Only remove the frames and not pages. Try without the busy book. Nothing works. I tried the command update cross-references in the book menu. Has nothing.

  
  

  It seems impossible to redistribute the text in a new primary master framework, without completely breaking the cross references.

  I finally found something that seems to work:

  • Create a new master page at the end of the document.
  • Go to the last page of the history of the chapter and the last history image a link to the text block type on the page that you just created.
  • In the pages palette, delete all pages in the document, with the exception of the master page that you created.

  All text will be redistributed within the frameworks of masters, and cross-references (to and from the frame) seem to be intact.

• ISO 3200 - 7.5.8 flow cross reference

  Hello

  I cannot interpret the example 4 on page 48 of the PDF 32000-1: 2008, specifically regarding the blue bold text below.

  The first field in these entries is the entrance type (2) - what is represent it 2?

  Item number stream (15) - what is represent it 15?

  
  

  position in the order of objects in the stream (0, 1, and 2) object - what this refer to?

  
  

  It is not clear which is the 15 if it is the second entry?   Someone would be able to explain where these numbers come from?
  

  The following example shows the same objects in the previous example, stored in the stream of an object in a PDF 1.5, as well as a stream of cross-reference.

  The cross-reference stream (see 7.5.8, "Reference Streams") contains entries for fonts (items 11 and 13) and the descriptor (item 12), which are compressed into the flow of an object. The first field in these entries is the entry type (2), the second field matches the number of the object stream (15), and the third field is the position in the order of the objects in the object stream (0, 1, and 2). The stream of reference also contains an entry of type 1 for the flow of the object itself.

  Refer to table 18 (7.5.8.3). The last 3 lines of this table describe what type (2), item (15) number and significance of the third field.

• Problems with cross-references spots

  In FrameMaker 12, I can't reference spots to work, despite the help instructions. I created a cross-reference marker, then created the cross-reference to the marker, but he keeps inserting the entire paragraph and not only words from marker I want.

  For example:

  1. I added a marker of type reference cross to a paragraph in one of my FM files, called "user management".

  2. in another file, I created a link of my marker reference (special > referral source type cross, then selected reference markers my marker)

  3. in the type of format, I select position, which has the definition of < $paratext > as one of the constituent elements.

  Unfortunately, this procedure then inserts the text of the full paragraph, not only the marker text I want.

  I suspect the step 3 is the place where I'm wrong, but the help instructions are not specific on blocks of construction/Formats to use.

  Thank you

  Warren

  If you want to do this type of reference, then using a reference spot will work. Just create a x - ref format that has the text 'Click here for details' properly formatted and the link to the spot-xref.

  If you want to link to a custom text in the paragraph, then it's more complicated, but it can be done [although that may have a building block of $markertext would be the best way to go].

  1. Create a custom color that you will use to create a text 'invisible '. [do something bright that stands out on the page]
  2. Create a paratag for the text of x - ref custm and use this custom color.
  3. Using the color > views, assign this custom color to be invisible and visible in the view 6 in view 1 (default).
  4. Switch to the view 6 (these / 6) so you can see what you are creating.
  5. In the paragraph where you need the custom text spot x - ref, insert a framework anchored with a block of text it contains (better to create on the referring page, so that you can cpy & paste as neeed) value be out column (but adjust so that it sits on top of the exact place that you want to access). Enter the required text using the x - ref paratag.
  6. Change in view 1 to make the x - ref invisible text (these / 1).
  7. You can now make the x - ref to the "custom" text FM still sees the 'invisible' content, even if it never gets when you create the output.

• Cross references have disappeared!

  Help! Just an upgrade automatic Id CC and cross-evidence disappeared from my hyperlinks. Can see and work with hypertext links very well; can see the cross-cranked up in the document, but they do not appear in the links Panel. Cannot access, go to them, update... nothing. It is a serious problem

• Cross-references in InDesign does not convert the links in the PDF

  Hello

  
  I can't work on any model that... I have a number (75, to be precise) of references in a single InDesign file to other locations within the same file. In InDesign, all work well - I can go from destination to source and vice versa.

  When I export to PDF, about 20% of them (I did not, I'm afraid) jump me to a particular page... page 58 of the 61-page document. They should not. There two correct links to this destination, the rest should go to various other pages. All cross references are using heading styles. I have not used all the bookmarks (if I remember correctly - work has been done some time ago, but has only raised the issue).

  In some cases, there are destinations in the PDF files to the appropriate pages, so I'm fixing this way links. They cannot be the original destinations, because I have more than one destination per page in some cases. In other cases, there is no destination for the page required... they have not been exported, so I'll have to create destinations in the PDF file as well. I noticed that a lot of destinations end with "Anchor xx" (where xx is a number), others are a 5 digit number what is the difference?

  It has been a pain fix these, but will be even worse when the document is updated in a few months... I don't want to have to manually re-create each hyperlink each time. I also wanted to use InDesign for another project, but the files would be updated on a regular basis in this case and if there is a known bug, it would not be an acceptable load.

  Any suggestions? Oh - the graphics are almost all related, and most are anchored frames... don't know if this has an impact, but I noticed when picking topics cross reference that some were (chart) after the title of the topic.

  Thanks in advance,

• Changing the text that appears in a cross reference

  Hi, I'm kind again in this cross reference something set and I'm doing something that doesn't work, I tried a few things and did some research but nothing has really helped me.

  So I work in a book, and we have several exercises (exercise 4.1.4.2, 4.x and so on) that works with the ball and the numbering style. We refer to them in the text, so I wanted to my reference to say "(do l'exercice X à la page XX) but when I link the cross reference, since the original exercise is written with a letter from cap (year X) well, he wrote"making the exercise page XX X) "

  I read that we cannot force in small character in ID (hoped to apply a simple character style) so there at - it another way to make this work?

  I can change it manually, but then it appears a conflict in the Panel cross references

  To make it more simple, I just want the exercise automated 4.X to write exercise 4.X, is it possible?

  Otherwise, I will pray for a "tiny" for CS6 style option...

  Thanks in advance

  

  I don't do much with the refs (tried it out on the last project, however), but I think your problem is that you must change the type of anchor text anchor point, you need to create from hyperlinks context menu > new Destination of the hyperlink...

• Cross-references and pulling exactly the text you need

  Hello, my question today concerns the references.

  My problem with the referral system is that, in its present form, it can be quite rigid. Essentially, I need only a small amount to be drawn from the cross reference which is nt specific anywhere in the paragraph of the text.

  My first idea was to develop a format that would be part of a paragraph ONLY text that has a style CrossRefNo character called (in my case), which is just a character style empty developed purely for this purpose. However when you use the

  < name cs = "" > < / CS > definition its plain enough that it is not infact extract text which is a certain CStyle but rather the text found in a certain formatting style (which seems a little redundant next to the button below which gives you the ability to apply a character style to the reference). So if you only use this format unless you type something in the field, it will produce no real text.

  I'm looking for is essentially the objects they used to build the formatting code cross references.  If they have already available from 10 items or if it is extremely restrictive.  Is there a type of < foundText = theTextWithinThisParaThatIsFormatedWithThisCharacterStyle = "CrossRefNo" > < / found text >

  Thank you! and please let me know if it belongs to another jurisdiction.

• Hundreds of broken cross-references

  Hi all

  I someone gave some FrameMaker work for me to do.
  Apparently he did ' Save As' on one or two files (documents in the book). "
  
  
  Now, all the links (100's of them...) of these files to go places in the book have been destroyed.
  
  
  He said open files in Windows Explorer, rather than within the FM Book window, then did "save under", and that it is used for doin it like this when using FM with UNIX.
  
  
  Does anyone know what * exactly * caused the links to be destroyed, and if there is a way to get all the back links (apart from the reissue of links one by one...).
  
  
  TIA
  
  
  -avi
  
  

  If a component file is included in a book, you can change the name of the file within the frame.

  Select the component file in the book, right-click, and select Rename. This process updates the links, cross-references and everything that depends on a relative path to other files.

  It can be used to do it this way, but it's the wrong way to do it in a file of any OS he is accustomed to using.

  You can quite easily get links by remaking the renaming of the right way and then redo the changes.

  If you're very lucky, you can add the files renamed to SaveAs to the book and use the file > links tool.

  You may also be able to get back them by editing in a MIF file version, although if you make a mistake, you're going to corrupt the file format. And you may be able to make the changes with www.frameexpert.com plugin special find/replace Rick Quatro.
