problems with the script in indesign

Hi all

I'm new and scripts so I hope I can explain what I need

Well, I have an indesign file in which I need to insert an extra layer with the translation of a language, have a layer IN English and an extra a FR for the french.

I found a script that's like that

with (app.clipboardPreferences) {}

pasteRemembersLayers = true;

}

var docTarget = app.documents.itemByName ('French.indd');

var docSource = app.documents.itemByName ('French.indd');

If (docSource.isValid & & docTarget.isValid) {}

var numSpreads = docSource.spreads.length;

for (var i = 0; i < numSpreads; i ++) {}

app.activeDocument = docSource;

app.activeWindow.activeSpread = app.activeDocument.spreads [i];

App.Select (App.activeDocument.spreads [i] .allPageItems);

If (app.selection.length > 0) {}

app. Copy ();

app.activeDocument = docTarget;

If (app.activeDocument.spreads [i] .isValid) {}

app.activeWindow.activeSpread = app.activeDocument.spreads [i];

app.pasteInPlace ();

}

}

}

}

but it seems to cause problems with the files,

I have to say that the source is a file very heavy, even enter takes a long time.

but I want to just get into the text layer,

Do you think this script works finally, can you spot an error or something?

Hello

Your script is copying content of any doc (allPageItems) in an another doc - all number two need to have equal variances.

You don't need to run the script if your goal is to create the new layer in the existing doc.

The questions are

What elements of the page must be copied into this layer

AND

should bound texts copied frames play any content

AND

wherever the content come from?

  • Problems with the script to output event

    In fact I don't know if I have a problem with the Exit event or if there is something wrong with my script syntax... The output of a field event, I check if the field is empty or not and check a flag I put in place.

    The first if statement works - if I get back a value in the field, everything goes as planned. If I delete the value of the field, nothing happens.

    //if field has a value hide subSection04
if (!(this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue.length == 0))
{
     subSections.subSection04.presence = "hidden";
}

//if field is empty and flag equals true show subSection04
else if ((this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue.length == 0) && (subFlags.Commercial.rawValue == true))
{
     subSections.subSection04.presence = "visible";
}

//if field is empty and flag equals false hide subSection04
else if ((this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue.length == 0) && (subFlags.Commercial.rawValue == false))
{
     subSections.subSection04.presence = "hidden";
}
    There are a few groups radio button that also control this behavior, they are all inter relate. So I tried also triggers the Click event of a radiobutton Group (which resembles the value in this field) out of this area, but that doesn't seem to work.

    Hi Jono,

    Your expression subFlags.Commercial.rawValue is true compares a String data type with a Boolean data type.

    Edit the expression as subFlags.Commercial.rawValue is 'true'

    I hope that this should work for you.

    Your code should look like

    //if field has a value hide subSection04
if (!(this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue.length == 0))
{
     subSections.subSection04.presence = "hidden";
}

//if field is empty and flag equals true show subSection04
else if ((this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue.length == 0) && (subFlags.Commercial.rawValue == "true"))
{
     subSections.subSection04.presence = "visible";
}

//if field is empty and flag equals false hide subSection04
else if ((this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue.length == 0) && (subFlags.Commercial.rawValue == "false"))
{
     subSections.subSection04.presence = "hidden";
}

  • Problems with the script tracks

    Hi all!

    I should start by saying that I have very little knowledge of scripting languages. I found a script of the interwebs that is designed to process images in batch photomerge. I was able to run the script that references a second script in the Adobe stock pile Scripts only on file (Photomerge.jsx). The error occurs on line 44 when he says that the file or folder does not exist. Here is the code:

    41 g_StackScriptFolderPath = app.path var + ' / ' + localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/InstalledScripts=Presets/Scripts") + ' / '.

    42 + locate ("$$$ / private/Exposuremerge/StackScriptOnly = stack Scripts only /");

    43

    44 .evalFile $(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "LatteUI.jsx");

    45

    46 .evalFile $(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "StackSupport.jsx");

    47

    48 .evalFile $(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "CreateImageStack.jsx");

    49

    $50 .evalFile (g_StackScriptFolderPath + "Geometry.jsx");

    51

    $52 .evalFile (g_StackScriptFolderPath + "PolyClip.jsx");

    So, I feel that I should need to modify the scripts of stock and if I do, it will open a whole Pandora's box. My question is, what am I doing wrong?

    This is the blog where I found the photomerge batch code: Automating automate: Photomerge in Adobe Photoshop batch running | Cristi Cotovan

    Thanks for any idea!

    ANI

    You, but you need a quotation for the path. You only have to the end. You can still use app.path:

    newPath = app.path var + ' / presets/Scripts/battery settings, Scripts Only / LatteUI.jsx'

    You may encounter another subject-the .evalFile $ with these, but it's how you manage paths.

  • Problem with the report and the system of axis 2d

    Hi, I'm trying to write a script with tiara, who wrote a 2d axis system in the report but I'm having a lot of problems with it.

    What I'm trying to do, is make 3 or more system axis 2d in the report, each displaying a part of the data of 2 channels (x = ch0, ch1 = y).

    With only 1 graphic I get what I want, but when I try to add the 2nd or the 3rd, they show without my defined x-scale and with the offset x different from the first chart.

    I tried everything, but I could not remedy

    I added as attachments the .csv file that I use to ch0 and ch1 and 2 screen shoots "what I get" (about the problem with the script) and "what I hope to get" (done manually, is what I'm trying to get the report)

    Hi lerman,.

    Here is an edited version of your code that works on my computer.  A problem that I know that I fixed it was that your presentation of the STATE was in the name-oriented mode but you use the variables based on the number to assign it X and Y channels.  The execution of these commands in a loop FOR makes it much easier to debug the code and to avoid any annoyance at first.

  • I have a problem with the content of spam. Somewhere in the Fox appeared script that's choking me audio spam. Every 30 minutes he's playing an audio clip that is malicious.

    Hello.
    I have a problem with the content of spam. Somewhere in the Fox appeared script that's choking me audio spam. Every 30 minutes he's playing an audio clip that is malicious. I can't find the settings as it eliminated. Now, I don't have any plug-ins and Add-ons strange that were not initially in the Fox, but the problem is there.
    I use the Fox years. The problem, he had 1.5 months after Fox cleaning. If the problem can't win, I'll be forced to give up the browser, and I wouldn't.

    Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    If the problem persists in Mode without failure, could reinstall you Firefox in this way:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.0.5 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Any improvement?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

    Yes and no it seems that if the file is a .doc or .pdf, that it does not load properly. But if I bring him in a Final Draft format, it works perfectly.
