• Automation need to export multiple files for InDesign Markup (IDML)

  I use CS5 and CS4 uses another Department. We create several files several times a year. We must record in CS4 compatible since the other Department is not kept up-to-date to CS5 for now. We must save backwards so that they are able to open them. The only reason why I have CS5 is because I had to buy a new Mac and that they had no more licenses for me to use. So we had to buy a new copy of CS5.

  I don't know how to create a java script or apple for this. I see several scripts in the scripts menu, but I can't quite understand how to use as a starting point for my export.

  Can be a help for this?

• Automate export PDF in a specific folder without dialog box

  Hi, this post is a continuation of another post, but this forum is no longer relevant.

  Basically, I asked if I could automate the export of my InDesign file to two settings PDF different (one for printing, one for the Web)

  I got it to work, but a step, I can't avoid is having to do facing a dialog box asking where to save the file.

  In an ideal world, I want TO just finished working on my InDesign file, run a script that could automate export to multiple PDF files using my custom settings of the Print and the Web and automatically put the PDF files in a folder (that I put in the script itself - not in a dialog box)

  Here's the script I modifed:

  // BS"D 
  // All rights reserved (c) 2015 by Id-Extras.com 
  // Free to use and modify but do not delete this copyright attribution. 
  // This script will export 2 pdfs of the current document 
  // Choose the PDF presets by altering their names below 
  // The second PDF gets a suffix added to its name. 
  // Modify the line below beginning name2 = to change the suffix. 
  // For more InDesign scripts: www.Id-Extras.com 
  d = app.activeDocument; 
  // Here you can choose the PDF preset 
  preset1 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Hubcast Ready-Press Quality"); 
  preset2 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Web-Ready (JPEG High 200dpi - No Color Conversion)"); 
  if (!(preset1.isValid && preset2.isValid)){ 
   alert("One of the presets does not exist. Please check spelling carefully."); 
   exit(); 
  } 
  if (d.saved){ 
   thePath = String(d.fullName).replace(/\..+$/, "") + ".pdf"; 
   thePath = String(new File(thePath).saveDlg()); 
  } 
  else{ 
   thePath = String((new File).saveDlg()); 
  } 
  thePath = thePath.replace(/\.pdf$/, ""); 
  name1 = thePath+"_PRINT.pdf"; 
  // Here you can set the suffix at the end of the name 
  name2 = thePath+"_WEB.pdf"; 
  d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(name1), false, preset1); 
  d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(name2), false, preset2);
  

  My document structure is as follows below, so, basically, I want to modify the script so that the final PDF ('_PRINT' and "_Applications Web") automatically export to the "Final" folder, I always held to a higher level of the folder that contains the InDesign file.

  

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I hope that this code can respond to your request ;-)

  d = app.activeDocument;
  preset1 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Hubcast Ready-Press Quality");
  preset2 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Web-Ready (JPEG High 200dpi - No Color Conversion)");
  if (!(preset1.isValid && preset2.isValid)){
      alert("One of the presets does not exist. Please check spelling carefully.");
      exit();
  } 
  
  mDocName = d.name.substr (0, d.name.lastIndexOf('.'));
  mSourcePath = d.fullName.parent.toString();
  mRootPath =mSourcePath.substr (0, mSourcePath.lastIndexOf('/'));
  mTargetPath=mRootPath.concat('/final/');
  
  mNamePrint = mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,'_PRINT.pdf');
  mNameWeb= mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,'_WEB.pdf');
  
  if (!d.saved){
      d.save;
  }    
  
  d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNamePrint), false, preset1);
  d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNameWeb), false, preset2);
  

• Automatically export "export list...". "virtual Center

  I was wondering that anyone has found a way to automatically export csv "export list...". "virtual Center (file & gt; Export & gt; Export list...).  I wish I could have the csv export file in a directory.  Created everything previously scripts or tips would be appreciated!

  OK, firstly the script.

  PowerCLI is very convenient for the compilation of such reports.

  Sometimes not all of the information you want are available in PowerCLI objects, when to go to the VI .net objects (using the cmdlet Get-View).

  This is the script that needs to export the fields that you normally get in a tab of Virtual Machines by default.

  $report = @()
  Get-VM | %{
       $vm = $_ | Get-View
       $row = "" | Select Name, State, Status, Host, CPU, Memory, GuestMem, Notes
       $row.Name = $_.Name
       $row.State = $_.PowerState
       $row.Status = $vm.Summary.OverallStatus
       $row.Host = $_.Host
       $row.CPU = $vm.Summary.QuickStats.OverallCpuUsage
       $row.Memory = $vm.Summary.QuickStats.HostMemoryUsage
       $row.GuestMem = ("{0:f0}" -f ($vm.Summary.QuickStats.GuestMemoryUsage / $_.MemoryMB * 100))
       $row.Notes = $_.Description
       $report += $row
  }
  
  $report | Export-Csv "C:\VMtab.csv" -noTypeInformation
  

  The script will give you all your guests in the CSV file.

  If you want to have a specific set of customers in the CSV file, then there are several methods that you can follow.

  (1) based on a container of VI

  Suppose that you want to export only the guests in a specific resource pool, you can replace this line

  Get-VM | %{
  

  with this line

  Get-ResourcePool  | Get-VM | %{
  

  (2) based on a specific filter

  If you want to export only the customers whose name follows a specific pattern (the example of the anme starting with PC), you can replace the line even with

  Get-VM "PC*"| %{
  

  (3) based on a specific property

  Yet once replace the line with something that

  Get-VM | where {$_.PowerState -eq "Powered On"} | %{
  

  This will export only guests who are lit.

  To schedule the script take a look at the blog running a scheduled task PowerCLIof Alan entry.

• I would like to know why I have so few restore points (7) when I got the computer for many months.

  I would like to know why I have so few restore points (7) when I got the computer for many months.  My last restore point was on 07/02/13 and have a total of 3 automatic restore Points.  With my previous version of Windows XP, I used to get a calendar that shows the many restore points for the month, and at least one System Restore Point otherwise every day at all the two days.  I don't know what the problem is or how to fix.  I have 10% of my hard drive allocated to the restoration of the system, and I am running Windows 7 Home Preium Version.

• Path to script and automate the vmkfstools command?

  Very long story short, running vSphere 5, I need a way to execute the command 'vmkfstools y 60' against my stores of data to recover free space on my table of Compellent SAN.

  This article explains the command and the object: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2014849

  From one or more hosts, I so need to go into each VMFS data store and run the command "vmkfstools y XX" to reclaim space. Otherwise the Compellent table see SVMotion jobs and snapshots as "new entries" and never release the free space.

  To automate this, I would use PowerCLI and maybe just run the script as a scheduled my vSphere Server task.

  I understand also the VMA device can do this kind of stuff, but I don't understand how to automate/schedule tasks with it more I prefer using PowerCLI.

  Anyway, sorry for the question noob and thanks in advance. Any help is very appreciated!

  The problem is we use thin Volumes put into service on a Board of 3par, with T10 off Unmap (which is now the default) freeing up space by deleting a virtual machine or by a storage vmotion means space gets released to the VMWare/data store layer and can be reused by Vpshere but he is not recovered at the Array level , delivering a vmkfstools, writes a file in the data store removes it returns T10Unmap to the matrix, the 3par then and returns this space to the free pool. It works when we manually we just want until VMWare decide UNMAP turn automate it.

• Saves out as IDML for previous versions of InDesign causes alternative layout problems.

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with alternative presentations used for refunds in InDesign. Currently using InDesign CC for all files, but these need to be saved out as IDML files for translation and to be compatible for CS6 as my CC license is not renewed at the office.

  What happens is that when I open the IDML after saving outside, alternate layouts extend outwards and scale incorrectly. Does anyone have experience or suggestions to work around this problem, other that individually save each file layout? I have 42 items if prefer to keep 3 renderings in a single file.

  Thank you
  Sam

  Ok. I have the culprit of this disaster!

  Just check the rules of the pages for liquid layout.

  For the first page, which have not changed, it was: 'basic '.
  For the other two pages that change, it was: 'Scale '.

  Then I put all the pages of "basic", exported an IDML, opened again in v9.2.1 CC and everything seems fine.

• Script to automatically replace the specific layers?

  Hello. I work for a small company and we frequently get client files I need to edit. Because of the way thay are formatted the layers always come with the same name/structure, but they still have a layer we need to replace. Go to a shared drive and manually place our desired element (a .pdf file if it is of importance) in the subset to continue with the file layer. Thus, for example, there will be a layer in the default file named layer 1, and this layer is Group 1 > Group > mask of clipping and Image.

  I know ideally we should simply fix the script that formats the layers, but for now is not possible. So what I would like to be able to do (assuming that it is still possible), is to have a script that we can run that automatically replaces the 'Image' file in these layers of subset, I spoke with a file to a location on a local computer (for example replace the 1 layer > Group 1 > Group > image.jpg with C:/example/example.pdf).

  I searched online and could not find anything, so I thought that I have turned to the community for help. Entries, suggestions or creative solutions would be greatly appreciated! And as always, thanks, everyone on these forums is usually very beautiful and impressive, so it's always nice to come here to help.

  Glad to see that you have accepted the challenge.

  Well, this should help you get started. Keep in mind, it is written in VB.NET then you will need to translate it is that you want in Javascript. At least you will have a model to begin with. This is just a quick hack for you to start with - you may need to change the layer you want the new image appears on, if it's important. In addition, it is assumed that you started with a plot point (image.jpg) and whether you want the new image to be incorporated. You will see the code tweak as you wish.

  Var app As Illustrator.Application = CreateObject ("Illustrator.Application")

  Dim aDoc as long as I. Document = app. ActiveDocument

  For each item in aDoc.RasterItems

  If the element. Name = "image.jpg" Then

  order of the day. Selected = True

  Dim newPlacedItem As AI. PlacedItem = aDoc.PlacedItems.Add

  newPlacedItem.File = "YourNewFilePathHere.pdf".

  newPlacedItem.Embed)

  order of the day. Delete()

  End If

  Next

  I hope this helps.

• Script to automatically calculate answers to the questions of the option button?

  Hello

  Anyone know if its possible / how to write a script to automatically count the responses of the radio buttons?

  For example, I have a form with 14questions, where the answers are either "Yes" 'Unknown' and 'No' - I used for each question radio buttons.

  At the bottom of the form, I want it to be automatically calculate how much 'yes' 'unknown' and 'No' responses there. (ie. a text box that displays the number of 'Yes', another area of text that displays the number of 'No'... etc)

  Can someone help me with this?

  Thank you so much

  OK, for the text field that counts the groups of numbers with the Yes option radio button is selected, you can use code like:

  // Custom Calculate script for text field
  (function () {
  
      // Initialize counter
      var sum = 0;
  
      // Loop through the fields
      // and increment the counter for each Yes value
      for (var i = 1; i < 15; i += 1) {
          if (getField("Question " + i).value === "Yes") {
              sum += 1;
          }
      }
  
      // Set the value of this field to the sum
      event.value = sum;
  
  })();
  

  Do the same for other areas, but change the 'yes' in the code above to the appropriate string, either 'No' or 'Unknown'.

  It would make sense to convert this to a function in a script at the level of the document, something like:

  // Document-level function
  var radioButtonValueCount = function (sVal) {
  
      // Initialize counter
      var sum = 0;
  
      // Loop through the fields
      // and increment the counter for each sVal value
      for (var i = 1; i < 15; i += 1) {
          if (getField("Question " + i).value === sVal) {
              sum += 1;
          }
      }
  
      // Set the value of the field that called this function to the sum
      event.value = sum;
  
  }
  

  You would then call it like that in the case of calculating a text field that counts the number of selections of Yes:

  // Set this field to the number of Yes selections
  radioButtonValueCount("Yes");
  

  Do the same for Dummies and unknown fields.

• Exporting to idml - idml settings - Adobe InDesign CS5

  Hi all

  I have a problem with the export of an idml file.

  I created a file Adobe InDesign Template (in this case a white book) and put a text in this model. When I want a new white paper I copy the new text, replacing the original text in the templete. So far so good.

  But when I export this new indesign file to .idml for purpose of the translation, the idml file still contains the original text of the InDesign template I created originally. It is very annoying for all translators, since they will translate the same text over and over again.

  The 3rd party software that we use to read and translate the file .idml is Deja-vu http://www.ATRIL.com/

  1. How to get rid of this 'inherited text' in the idml file?
  2. And how can I change the settings for the idml file?

  Hope you can help. Call Adobe support couldn't help me with this.

  Kind regards

  Joost

  It certainly has to do with the track changes.

  In my memory, it may be necessary to re - turn on track changes, accept all the changes, turn on turn off, then save under the file and close it.

  Open the new INDD file, then that exporting to IDML.

  Basically, if InDesign thinks that there are changes, they will be exposed in the IDML. So anything that reads IDML must be prepared for it. As you say, by filtering. The scariest part, at least if you're in shape the IDML, is that you must also manage InsertedText and MovedText. I guess that's not a big deal for the translation.

  In addition, if there are Notes in the document, those too will appear in the IDML.

  Despite my constant removal of Yahoo in all search preferences, it keeps returning automatically to my defaul for Firefox search. Help, please! I hate Yahoo!

  On Mac, this most commonly seems to be caused by Spigot or pipe modules, or something else that snuck in without being detected with other software that you downloaded.

  Please try to disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CMD + SHIFT + a

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete). Especially if you find something called SearchMe.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Is that what helps you regain control?

• Laptop battery will work for many years if I run the laptop without it?

  Hello

  Model No. - HP Pavilion dv6330ea laptop. Check out the link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3411896&

  My operating system is Vista Home Premium 32-bit with Service Pack 2.

  I use my laptop more than 20 hours a day. I have connected my laptop to the power adapter that connected to the ups (uninterruptible power supply) and from there it connects to the wall jack. Given that I have turn my laptop so long, so I removed my battery and put aside. Because I thaught if I have my battery is connected with my laptop, then life battery will decrease since I use my laptop for more than 20 hours a day. That's why I took off. I'm using this method for a few years.

  I use my PC laptop battery only when I travel I make much less.

  So I was wandering if it is good practice to remove the battery and run the laptop for power adapter?

  My battery will be coming for many years or it will get cuttings due to not use it for a long time?

  What is your opinion, to run the laptop with the battery or not - computer since I use my laptop more than 20 hours a day?

  Please reply as soon as possible.

  Bye,.

  Hi Siva,

  It is certainly very well run Notepad on just the AC adapter.

  Regarding the battery once a month, reinsert the battery, turn the machine on and let the battery fully charged.  Unplug the AC adapter and let the unit run until you start getting a "low battery" warning  Completely load it again, then let the battery drain to about 40%.  Shut down the laptop, remove the battery and store it separately in a cool place.  Repeat this procedure each month will help you keep your battery in good condition.
