problems with passing of Pagemaker in InDesign

Hello

I'll try to make my problem as understandable as possible.

I work in a company that made their catalog with Pagemaker, is a very small company, so no real expertiese in PM or ID.

I know that many will crinch when they hear this, but we use links from excellent to h.

These links are used to change the language of the catalog. The basic idea is that the catalog is roughly the same in all languages and its only small amounts of text that changes depending on the language (most are numbers).

So we have a spreadsheet with x columns where each column represents one language, each line represents a different textline. We also have a master column which is related to h. This gives us the ability to change the language of the catalog just in sticky columns of different language in the main column and update of PM.

Most of you can probably see where this is going.

Design support links to excel, it seems. So I was wondering if anyone has an idea that could help us to transfer our catalog ID in a smooth manner and maby at the same time give us ideas how to improve our how to change the language, without too many problems.

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Simon

'Links' are really related, or are incorporated. PM wanted to incorporate default things (and it's really important to change the images to embedded to linked in Manager link in PM before converting in ID). Since used PM really strange OLE routines for spreadsheets, I'm not sure they will result as real links for ID. You may be stuck.

Converting PM documents is really hit or miss, depending on the structure of the PM. Some will be almost perfect, other useless, but you should always count on doing some work in ID.

  • Problem with imported * file OAM to InDesign

    Hello

    I'm new with Adobe CC and DPS, if its possible this is a stupid question. But I have a problem with my imported file of OAM is a simple logo flying, when I place it in a document of the iPad in InDesign a TI does not appear when I try to preview.

    Well the OAM file has a transparent background, but I have tried also without it and the same result. Please can someone help me?

    Thank you very much.

    Sorry, hit send too fast.

    You have a black background on the page, but the logo works very well.

    You should test it on a device. Test on the desktop will not work correctly.

  • Problem with passing the values in a report to the other

    Hello

    I am Agnes, I have developed 2 reports. Summary of the first high level, Mithraeum is detailed. First report is developed using Union (4 union), I have 4 columns. The report generates data. I used the Navigation option on customer column to go to the second report. In the second report with filter I use the easier option. Due to a problem, the customer value of the first report is failed per second. The second report is getting generated for all customers.

    Normally, I have used this option to navigate through other reports and which works very well. I even tested with Union, it works. This time is to give some difficulties.

    Please, let me know what goes wrong.

    Thanks for the help.

    If your Union pivot source then by a simple navigation that you can not pass clicked value to the second report.

    With the help of GoNaV you can pass the selected value source union pivot report to the non-Union target report. If the target report is also union pivot, then it won't pass filters using GoNav.Not sure that because someone talked about a few days back that with the help of GoNav possible to pass the value of a union pivot query to pivot anothet union report.

  • Problems with the creation of books - InDesign 2015 cc

    Hello community,

    I have a strange problem I'm not sure how to address and a bit difficult to describe. Let me first off the coast by saying I'm relatively new to InDesign, there might be something I have configured wrong. That said, some information on the issue.

    I have a client who had me create a book for printing to CreateSpace. How I built it is as follows:

    marked printed book 1 directory


    1 file book. For more convenience, I am labeling it Print book.indb

    In this book file, I assembled the following files:
    Title.indd

    Copyright.indd

    Foreward.indd

    Preface.indd

    TOC.indd

    Chapter 1. INDD

    Chapter 2. INDD

    Chapter 3. INDD

    Chapter 4. INDD

    Chapter 5. INDD

    Chapter 6. INDD

    This book has some images that I placed without using wrapping (was not aware of the service when I started).

    This book turned out fine, but then my client asked me to create an EPUB for the book too. This is where the problems started.

    I copied the directory for the printable version (assets/images, INDB and CO-OPERATE in a different folder, files marked EPUB book.

    I created a new file labeled INDB book.indb EPUB

    I added to the book file all INDD files generated previously.

    I made changes to the files as part of the book, (i.e. I anchored images, used items to organize images images/text for the shape/layout formatting, etc.)

    Then, I noticed an error in the printed version, so I closed the full EPUB version, then open the PRINT version. All the changes I had made to the EPUB version now appeared in the version to PRINT as well.

    I normally save the directory before making changes, so I got 4-5 version to return, but all seemed to be changed as well. When I watched the INDD files separately, they have not been changed, so I was able to recover my finish for print, but any time I make changes to each book, they change the other book as well.

    I tried to delete the files of the book (INDB) and to recreate them, but the problem persists. As soon as they have an associated book file, when I open the INDD files via the menu book tool, changes are reflected in the two sets of files, but if I open the files CO-OPERATE directly, they are beautiful. What I am doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help. Have a great day.

    Sounds like you was create shortcuts/aliases to the original files. Are what operating system you?

  • Problems with sovereign wealth funds in indesign

    I'm trying to put in place a swf file that has several other imported in SWF files (all created in indesign) when I load the page, on any browser, I get a static Flash logo (the same as the one that appears when you import a swf file in indesign) that do not load or play. The file is NOT hosted as we need our representatives to be able to view the file locally without an internet connection. I'm using CS5. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    First of all, make sure that you have correct settings in window/media/interactive panel (poster, play on the loading of the page on or off etc.). Then, after exporting, make sure that you keep your main SWF and resources folder. All you under the SWF files are located in the resources folder and the user flash player assumes that it is in the same root with main SWF... InDesign automatically creates resources files when exporting SWF with videos or other SWF files placed in any page of it...

  • Problem with passing parameters to an applet?

    Hello

    I have a page of the apex which is a popup page. I am passing the parameters of the cmdlet and then to read in my java code.

    Here's my applet code
    <SCRIPT>
      function getStatus(retStatus) {
        $s("P3_MESSAGE", ''||retStatus||'')
      }
    </SCRIPT>
    <APPLET ARCHIVE="/i/bin/offline_load.zip" CODE="offline_load.class"  STATUSMSG WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0> 
    <PARAM name="username" value="&APP_USER.">
    <PARAM name="dbuser" value="&P3_DBUSER.">
    <PARAM name="dbpassword" value="&P3_DBPASSWORD.">
    <PARAM name="dbserver" value="&P0_DBSERVER.">
    <PARAM name="dbport" value="&P3_DBPORT.">
    <PARAM name="dbsid" value="&P3_DBSID.">
    </APPLET>
    P3_DBUSER, P3_DBPASSWORD, etc. are all defined on the page zero elements also hidden and protected

    My applet code
    public void init() {
    
        CallableStatement load_stmt = null;
        String userName = this.getParameter("username");
        String dbUser = this.getParameter("dbuser");
        String dbPass = this.getParameter("dbpassword");
        String dbServer = this.getParameter("dbserver");
        String dbPort = this.getParameter("dbport");
        String dbSid = this.getParameter("dbsid");
    
        try {
            
          System.out.println("init(): loading OracleDriver for applet created at " + created.toString());
          Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
          System.out.println("init(): getting connection");
          conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + dbServer + ":" + dbPort + ":" + dbSid, dbUser, dbPass);
             
        } // end try
    The strange thing is that I got this job twice then it stops unexpectedly just work when I make a change to the java applet code.
    And the changes have absolutely nothing to do with the code above, it can be anything is the first, I added the error handling
    to another part and the second, I modified a stored procedure call.
    Anyone have any idea why this might happen as it drives me completely crazy :(

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    In your init() code, you have a "try" block - you have a 'Finally' block to close the connection? Something like:

    finally {
      try {
        conn.close();
      }
      catch (Exception ignore) {
      }
    }
    

    If you have reached the limit of the number of connections open available?

    Your code looks OK I can see (based on examples at: http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/JDBC)

    In addition, in your new have pieces of code, you added try/catch/finally blocks? Is the compilation of code completely (IE, no warning)? Have you added new imports that could conflict with existing code such that you have to characterize completely the existing objects/classes (for example, you have now two DriverManager class or CallableStatement objects)?

  • Problem with pass - and - play

    Hi I'm doing a simple web with 4 buttons. And I did the respective links with gotoAndPlay in as3. Everything works fine, but when I click the last button, the btn 4 and then want to go to the btn 3 it does not work. It works only when I want to go button 01:56, but 4-1. Why is this? Here is the code:

    Stop();
    Btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, funcion1);

    function funcion1(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
    gotoAndPlay (10);
    };

    btn2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, funcion2);

    function funcion2(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
    gotoAndPlay (20);
    };

    btn3.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, funcion3);

    function funcion3(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
    gotoAndPlay (30);
    };

    btn4.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Click, funcion4);

    function funcion4(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
    gotoAndPlay (40);
    };

    PD: I'm sure that all buttons have the instance name in all frames (10, 20, 30, 40)

    What image are you adding the button event listeners? I start from frame 1. Whenever you put a keyframe on the timeline you are essentially new instantiating the movieclip on this layer and you can't expect that an event listener that you added previously will still apply after the new keyframe. There are a lot of different ways to solve this problem. In your case the simplest would be to on each key frame, remove the button event listeners (in the case where they are there, avoiding memory leaks) and then add them again. Not the best approach, but it should work.

    HTH.

  • Problems with passing parameters to a dynamic theme

    Hello experts,

    I have been struggling with this for days now and can't seem to understand what is happening here. I don't think that it is difficult to understand and I don't know I'm not the only one who came through it, I just feel like I'm missing something.

    In short - I have a predefined theme called TEST_DYNAMIC_THEME_NEW2. Its styling rules are as follows:
     
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
    <styling_rules caching="NONE">
        <rule>
            <features style="C.RED"> select geom, :1 FROM TRACT_CURRENT_GEO </features>
      </rule>
    </styling_rules>
    I try of course to pass a parameter to this theme, representing a column name. Maybe this is not possible, but I don't know why not.

    The error message that I do not get in Firebug is as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <oms_error> MAPVIEWER-06009: Error processing an FOI request.
    Root cause:SQLException: ORA-01722: invalid number
    </oms_error>
    On the other hand, when I'm in mapbuilder and I saw the theme it works fine. He asks for a parameter value for: 1, I give him a column name, and a large red card is displayed in the preview screen (this is what I want to see [at least for now]).

    Ideas, people?


    Thank you all very much for your time,

    John

    The binding settings should be used for parameter values in your query condition. It is not intended to define column names in your selection list.
    Although it seems to have worked for you in MapBuilder, there is no guarantee that you will get good results with the server of the FAITH.

  • Problems with Chapter cross refs in Indesign CC 2015 when you open a book in 2014?

    Can someone help me with this question, is there a quick fix all refs are now missing in the chapters of the book. I start a new book and will have to update manually, but that's a lot of unnecessary work I have a lot of books with chapters of reference.

    The best advice is probably to go back and finish the book in the version that you have started.

  • Hello I have a little problem with pass values pop-up

    I want to transmit values when the user click on current line, then see the menu right click popup is displayed.

    I need help after the code. Because it does not pass the current row values, it passes all values in the database. I thought that the filter does not work.

    First of all, I added Bind Variables named VarEnqID and criteria named GetbyIDCriteria on my view object.

    Second, I created picture objects and interfaces of object classes and display code of the method of the object class:

    Public Sub setSearch1C (String input)

    {

    ViewCriteria vc = getViewCriteria ("GetByIDCriteria");

    vc.resetCriteria ();

    setVarEnqID (input);

    setVarEnqId2 (input);

    applyViewCriteria (vc);

    executeQuery();

    }

    Thirdly, I drag setSearch1C of data control and make context menu right click Add attribute named Id to links, and then click code value.

    My criteria did not work so I decided to him another way. I dragged the data control display object to bring up and created the unalterable form adf. Then everything would be OK.

  • Problem with passing parameters to an HTTPService on buttonclick within the grid

    I have a DataGrid where I use ItemRenderers to render components such as buttons n Images within the grid. Now, I need to pass parameters to an HTTPService on click of a button. If the button is directly on the form (not in the grid), is easy to call HTTPService. But given that the button is in a grid, it is not able to resolve the HTTPService and so I can't call the HTTPService on ' click on ' event of the button.

    I would like to know if anyone can help.

    You should probably use click = "outerDocument.myClickHandler ()" "

    The outerDocument allows you to access the methods outside of the rendering engine.

  • Quiz results: problem with Pass Message and background Image

    Hello

    I use v1 and I had a question on the quiz results page. I input a Message goes in the quiz Manager, but not the entire message appears on the Quiz results page. It seems to be cut. Y at - it something I need to do to ensure that everything is displayed or Captivate allowed me to enter a long message in the Quiz Manager, but not display it on the screen of Quiz results.

    Also, if I choose a background image it seems to appear on the upper left of the results window. Is there a way I can place this image to appear where I would that he on the results page?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Julie88,

    First of all, for the long message, your observation is correct. Captivate has allowed to enter long message Quiz Manager, but its actually impossible to view it in the SWF file.

    Second, for the image, unfortuantely you can't do Captivate 1. Captivate 2 comes gives you this option. Infact in Captivate 2, you can view the result do drag in the Editor pane and change it as you wish.

    Thank you
