• CS6 javascript tutorial scripts

  I apologize if this question has already been answered: I searched the forums with no result.

  I'll try to find the scripts that accompany the tutorial available on the InDesign developer documentation site JavaScript pdf

  The InDesign developer documentation | Adobe Developer Connection...

  The link to the tutorial scripts pointing to examples of scripts, and many more tutorial scripts. I have the tutorial for CS5 files, but many of them do not work for me in CS6.

  These files are available elsewhere? I can't find a way to contact Adobe to ask, because the contact support head to the forums.

  I have a number of learning resources, but the real scripts are very valuable when I try to follow the tutorials.

  Thanks for any help!

  I think they are all in the InDesign Scripting SDK, available here:

• CS6 javascript - textBox.contents does not return the full text

  I use script tags to find the text of a certain tag boxes and get their content. Sometimes I'm not all of the content. Is that all that I should check to find my error? It's the js that I use:

  myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

  var myPageItems = myDoc.allPageItems;

  for (var i = 0; i < myPageItems.length; i ++)

  {

  If (myPageItems [i] .label == "carpet details colors 1")

  {

  var myOverFlowFrame = myPageItems [i];

  if(myOverFlowFrame.Overflows==true)

  {

  var fullText = myOverFlowFrame.contents + ";

  Alert (fullText);

  }

  }

  }

  I don't have much experience scripts against InDesign and would appreciate any help I could get. Is there a better way than .silence for the text in a text box? Is there an obvious reason why it would fail to retrieve all of the text in some cases?

  Post edited by: rockymcclamrock (removed irrelevant code)

  Hello

  You can get the full text using the content of the TextFrame ParentStory,

  var fullText = myOverFlowFrame.parentStory.contents + ";

  Thank you

• Photoshop uses JavaScript to load documents open in the order of the corresponding color

  Hello

  I am a production artist and I make use of the corresponding color command a lot in my work. I often 6-10 Photoshop documents open and one of them is designated as my master document. With this document, I run the command of the corresponding color. Inside of the dialogue of the corresponding color, I charge one of the other open documents in the Source dropdown under statistics of images. I click Ok, and then save the master document under a new name. I have to repeat this step for all open documents. Naturally, it becomes tedious.

  
  

  I started to write a script to automate this process, but I can't find the syntax for the corresponding color. I have the Adobe Photoshop Cs6 Javascript Scripting reference, but have been unable to locate in this PDF file. I tried to look online, but no luck. Does anyone know what syntax to use as well as associated properties / methods?

  Thanks for any help.

  Try this:

  //
  // MatchColor.jsx
  // The source image must be the active document at the time this
  // script is run.
  //
  function matchColor(fileName) {
    function cTID(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
    function sTID(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
      var desc11 = new ActionDescriptor();
      desc11.putInteger( cTID('Lght'), 100 );
      desc11.putInteger( cTID('ClrR'), 100 );
      desc11.putInteger( cTID('Fade'), 0 );
      desc11.putBoolean( cTID('fsel'), true );
          var ref8 = new ActionReference();
          ref8.putProperty( cTID('Lyr '), cTID('Bckg') );
          ref8.putName( cTID('Dcmn'), fileName);
      desc11.putReference( cTID('Srce'), ref8 );
      executeAction( sTID('matchColor'), desc11, DialogModes.NO );
  };
  
  function main() {
    if (app.documents.length < 2) {
      alert("At least 2 images must be open for this script to run.");
      return;
    }
    var srcdoc = app.activeDocument;
    var srcname = srcdoc.name;
    var docs = app.documents;
    var len = docs.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
      var doc = docs[i];
      if (doc.name == srcname) {
        continue;
      }
      app.activeDocument = doc;
      matchColor(srcname);
    }
    app.activeDocument = srcdoc;

• use Image catalog script for the current document

  Is it possible to use the script to image catalogue for the current document in which we work instead of leaving the mark of script a new document fees for placed images?

  use,

• Create a gradient of the script.

  Create a gradient by scripts, the command stops and color.

  Do not understand in the document of reference Photoshop cs6 javaScript, how and where to access the gradient.

  Please help me, I can't do day after day...

  The principle of the script consists of scanning in black and white and the texture of the color of the pixel, registration of the colours in the painting.

  So in order to decompose the matrix of color from 0 to 255 black and white texture.

  Until you get the texture gradient.

  0 where blacks where 255 white. each color will be assigned a user ID and it will move to the color in the color gradient texture.

  Sorry for my English.

  Thank you!

  For a large a gradient with script, you must use scriptlistener. Then modify the variables in this code to match what you want. I use this method to create gradients on the forms which are sampled from a reference image.

  

• How to get the track changes inserted / deleted text?

  Hello

  I have read the Adobe InDesign CS6 JavaScript Scripting Guide and wrote a JavaScript as below:

  var myChanges = app.documents.everyItem().stories.everyItem().changes;
  var myString = '';
  for (var i=0; i<myChanges.length; i++) {
          var myChange = myChanges[i];
          myString += myChange.userName + '\t';
          myString += myChange.date + '\t';
          myString += myChange.changeType + '\n';
  }
  alert(myString);
  

  My script can get the username, date and change the type.

  But the guide does not cover on how we can get him insert / delete changes?

  Thank you very much!

  The lines I wrote above deleted content work.

  Your problem is that not remove anything to show him because you started to follow the story of its creation.

  If you first create a story and then start tracking it and add, remove etc. your will see the scripts to get also deleted ones.

• Reference UI info (window, dialog, palette, etc.) for scripts to HAVE

  I'm looking for information of standard reference on elements of user interface like the pop-up windows (dialogs, palettes, etc.). I went through the Scripting of Illustrator CS6 Javascript reference guide and also the CS6 Scripting guide, checking every mention of the words 'Window', 'Dialogue', 'Pallet' etc. (it there is no much), over related terms such as "edittext" and "slider" (which apparently do not exist in these documents in all) and can't find what I'm looking for.

  ----------

  I'm trying to script a simple information box that contains information generated by a script that doesn't have to be closed before the user continues to operate.

  What I'm trying to find out is essential. Looking at other scripts I realized that you can create a popup like this box:

  var box = new Window('dialog', 'Some title');
  
  var panel = box.add(panel, undefined, 'Panel title');
  panel.add('edittext', undefined, 'Default value');
  panel.add('slider', undefined, /*Default numeric value*/,/*min*/,/*max*/);
  
  var group = box.add(group, undefined, 'Group title');
  group = area_len_box.add('group', undefined, 'Title (not displayed)');
  group.orientation='row';
  group.closeBtn = group.add('button',undefined, 'Close', {name:'close'});
  group.closeBtn.onClick = function(){
    box.hide();

  .. .this which is enough for a very basic entry system, but which must be closed before the user can return to their work - and I can't find any resource that gives the full options:

  • What are the other options for "new window"? I am aware of the "palette", which appears to need a table of four coordinates such as [20,20,100,100], but he clearly needs something else too, as each pallet I did instantly closes. And what else is there beyond the window and the Palette?
  • What other input devices are there beyond edittext and slider, and what are the parameters they each need?
  • What can go in the s 'undefined' that I see everywhere wherever they are used?
  • etc etc.

  There must be a reference to it somewhere, but I can't.

  Here is an attempt at a consolidated whole:

  Script interface elements are similar for all Adobe applications - called "ScriptUI". There are two PDF files:

  • Peter Kahrel ScriptUI documentation (recommended)
  • The Adobe Javascript Tools Guide (not as good, but official)

  There are two ways to browse the structure of the object to see what is available:

  • Use the web pages generated in the http://jongware.mit.edu/, for example
    • ScriptUI - http://jongware.mit.edu/scriptuihtml/Sui/index_1.html
    • Illustrator (CS6) - http://jongware.mit.edu/iljscs6html/iljscs6/
    • InDesign (CS6) - http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs6js
    • Photoshop (CS5) - http://jongware.mit.edu/pscs5js_html/psjscs5/
  • Open the Adobe Extendscript Toolkit (ESTK, on a Mac, it's in the Applications > utilities > Adobe utility...), then open help > object model viewer, choose "ScriptUI classes" from the upper left corner of the menu drop down.

• How to print colors specific spots in separations?

  I'm still a newbie to ExtendScript & JavaScript, but I learn quickly. Right now, I need to find a way to tell InDesign to print specific pages in the active document with a "Preset" printer and - here's the best - only using some spot colors.  (The preset already allows separations.)

  Now, I followed the Guide from Adobe InDesign CS6 JavaScript scripts on pages 47-51 as Jongware guide on the subject. However, two only refers to turning money or shut down the Cyan, Magenta, yellow, black or channels (using the methods .printCyan, .printMagenta, etc.); There is no mention for spot colors that exist in the document.

  When you use the dialog box print normally, you just click the output tab and click on the little printer boxes (essentially the boxes) beside each separation of color that you want to print. Surely this can be replicated in ExtendScript, but how?

  what you are looking for is Document.inks

• Different results, running the same Javascript - CC vs CS6

  I am having some problems affecting the font size of a text using Javascript. For some reason, I always get characters of 2.88 points as opposed to what I put it to (in this case, it's 12). Anyone know what is the problem that the PS is not recognizing the command to set the font size here and why?

  #9740928-Pastie

  Line 42 is where I'll put the size.

  Line 27, that's where the variable is defined. I tried just punching in an integer with the same results.

  Thanks for any help.

  
  

  So I think that there could be a problem with Adobe CC or maybe some changes in its development with regard to the way he treats the Javascript. I ran several tests today and did some reading. At the end of the line, I decided to try the script on CS6 and I got the correct results. The script works on CS6, but not cc? I made an example of script I did my tests to take a pic to Adobe team. It's the end of this post.

  
  

  I'm not the master script by any stretch of the imagination, but I find it odd that this script works correctly on Adobe CS6, but does not change the size of font correctly on Adobe CC. I expect that same results. If any of you come up with anything please let me know. Cheers.

  BEGINNING OF THE SCRIPT

  var defaultRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;

  preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;

  var AD = activeDocument;

  Size = 53;

  var TextLayer = AD.artLayers.add ();

  TextLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;

  TextLayer.opacity = 90;

  var txtRef = TextLayer.textItem;

  txtRef.font = "Impact."

  txtRef.contents = size;  The size of 53 is reflected in CS6, but when this script is run on CC, is not. Sometimes 12, sometimes it is 2.88.

  txtRef.size = size;

  END OF SCRIPT

  ^ I save it as a. JS

  The ruin of font size of DOM somewhere in 2014 of the CC is a known problem.

  Re: Do you have CC 2014.2 break textItem.size?

  The alternative would use code AM.

• HTML5 reference code works is not inside the Javascript on DW CS6 function

  Hello

  I'm working on Dreamweaver CS6 and indicators of code does not work as expected when you write Javascript code.

  The minute that I insert a code hinting feature no longer appears the HTML5 elements.

  

  Should I remove the function then him reappears indicators of HTML5.

  

  How can I get the code referring to work when I add in the function?

  Thank you

  Thank you for reporting this issue, Herman!

• CS6 findchangebuylist with javascript error

  Running Mac OS 10.6.8

  iMac 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7

  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

  InDesign CS6 8.0.1

  I created a new page with nothing on it except a text box. I imported some paragraph styles and text for a page master templatre created for a catalog that I've created. I created the new page to try to eliminate any problems that may have been cause by opending a document created in CS5.5. I use the latest version of 'recordfindchange' script for cs3 - cs5 written by Martin Fisher to export the result of my test of the findchange. Here is a picture of the findchange Choir:

  

  I get an error in java script when I run the script copy buy, I created the "findchangebylist: javascript and txt, file by adding the _SimpleTest name to the names of files and replaceing the 116 line number in javascript with this:

  var myFindChangeFile = myFindFile("/FindChangeSupport/findChangeStrings_SimpleTest")

  Here is the error I get:

  

  I don't know anything about javascript. so I am dead in the water. so can someone please help. Are there problems with the CS6 and the findchangebylist script? "recordfindchange" is no longer works with CS6? Could this be a problem of version of javascript (I've just updated to the latest version)?

  It seems I could have solved my own problem. through diligence, I came to the conclusion that every time you are appling a paragraph or style, you must include a characters ', changeConditionsMode:1919250519' in your grep. If you look above the "findChangeStrings_SimpleTest.txt" you want of course that this has not been added in. so you will get a javascript error. Also, there is an extra ',' (comma and space) in front of "findwhat" and "appliedParagraphStyle" I removed those just for consistency. but he appeard have no effect.

  He shhould look like this:

  {findWhat:"\\r\\r.+[:].+\\r} »

  {appliedParagraphStyle: '01-Header', changeConditionsMode:1919250519}

  SO in short, it looks like the 'ChangeCondidtionsMode:1919250519' is the key to eliminate the javascript error.

  I don't know why. All that I know is now it works.

  Looking at my file findchange.txt for the project, I am working on (not the one above) I also noticed that here we Eparses characters outside the "{" (in brackets). That was apparently CS6 crash indesign. Where I worked on the script has been written in CS5.5. This version must have been a little more forgiving with sloppy code. After cleaning all the random characters until no more accidents.

  I also have my version 8.0 CS6 upated version 8.0.1. Adobe has a downloadable patch. Who can help the issue as well. However, it has not helped the missing changeCondidtionsMode or sloppy code.

  The RecordFindChange script I was using does not have the "ChangeCondidtionsMode:1919250519" in the exported .txt file and it also adds additional quotes. Which must be changed by a person who knows javascript and that's not me.

  I hope this helps.

• Is it possible to perform an action with a script using javascript cs6

  It is said in the pdf for the guide of script:

  "A script can perform an action, but action cannot run scripts.

  I can't find a way to do it, and I know a way to have an action to run a script so that the part is wrong haha. But if anyone knows how to have a script to perform an action, it would be very useful for me. Thanks in advance!

  Watch the doScript call which will play a defined action game action. Available for Apple, Visual Basic and from CS6, ExtendScript.
