Script to move all items on each page

I'm quite new to scripting, but I'm trying to write a script to select all elements on each page and shift the X values and are specified. The script works but only seems to move 1 point on each page, I know it's probably something really simple and I was wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction?

This causes the:

for (a = myPages-1; a>=0;
a--)
{
app.activeDocument.pages[a].pageItems.everyItem().select();
app.selection[0].move (null, positions)
}

You are 'select' objects but only moving one...

In normal circumstances, you should use 'select' in a script - you can 'target' any object immediately. And even if you did have something selected, all objects will move again! Change for this, I have not tried, but it should make it work:

for (a=myPages-1; a>=0; a--)
{
  app.activeDocument.pages[a].pageItems.everyItem().move (null, positions);
}

Move all items from carton to a layer in InDesign (AS)

Just learning how to move all the guides to a layer, now I would like to just the products box to a layer. My goal is to separate the elements of page elements pastnoard on separate layers. Favorite AppleScript.

It seems like it should be very simple, but I can't work as a (ID CS5, Mac OS x 10.6.8).

If I select a point on the editing table and ask its parent, the result page is 'nothing. ' But asking you for each page element whose parent page has nothing (or 'nothing' or 'no' or 'nada' or "") returns no result.

Can I ask for each item in the page which the parent page ID is the identification number of my single page, and you will find the item on this page (except the items in cardboard), but if I ask for each page element whose ID is NOT the ID of my page, it does not find the two points that I put on the editing table.

Substances, can you get it actually works in JS?

The only thing I've found so far and who works at all in AppleScript is a solution very kludgy:

Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"

Tell document 1

each element of the page including the id of the parent page is greater than 1 the value myPageItems

the value myEveryItem for each page element

Repeat with myItem in myEveryItem

If is not then myItem in myPageItems

myItem move to the layer "layer of cardboard.

end if

end repeat

tell the end

tell the end

That could take some time to run on a document with a lot of page elements. It is good to be a better way...!

How to reset all items on a page on the page change?
Hi all!

I'm trying to reset all items whenever a user edits a page. Then when they are on page 17, they can calculate the food values, and these values get inserted into page elements.
Now, I want to be able to reset all these objects on page 17, when a user goes to one page other than 17.

I did a page process, on the laundry after the header, visit runs once per page.
The code is like this:
```
if :APP_PAGE_ID <> 17 then
:p17_set_unit := null;
:p17_set_language := null;
:p17_set_weight := null;
:p17_new_weight := null;
:p17_new_kcal := null;
:P17_new_carbs := null;
:p17_new_protein := null;
:P17_new_fat := null;
:p17_foodname := null;
:p17_select_foodname := null;
:p17_foodid := null;
end if;
```
So basically, if the current page is not 17, then it should reset all values. Why does this work?
I made other processes that do the same (as when you change the language of food, all items except the point of language GET reset), but it does not work.
What I am doing wrong? Or should I fix this on a different path?

Thanks in advance.

APEX version: 4.1.1.00.23
Hello, Magali,.

Oops! I missed it. We do not have the process on page 0!

You can create a Process of Application which runs in charge of pages and clears the cache for the page 17 using APEX_UTIL. CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE. Use the above condition.

Remove nonprinting items from each page/double

Hi all
Below is my code that can be selected all nonprinting items on a single broadcast. As we can not select all items appear on more than a spread in InDesign.
That is why it is showing error if my spread exceeds more than one. I want to edit this script in a way so that it can remove all nonprinting items appear in more of a spread.
Can someone help me on this.
NonPIt = app.activeDocument.layers.item (0) .allPageItems;
for (a = 0; a < NonPIt.length; a ++)
If (NonPIt [a] .nonprinting is true)
{
App.Select (NonPIt [a]).
Alert ("Selected item No."+ [a] ");
}
Thank you
tans

Maybe something like this:
```
NonPIt = app.activeDocument.layers.item(0).allPageItems;
     for (a=0; a

Select and move items on the page...

Hello world
We are currently working with InDesign CS3 documents. I have to select all the items on each page and move it with 9 pts both both horizontal than vertical position. If it's a recto page movement-9 pts and if it's the back page must move + 9pts. So what I do is, try to select all items in page and do it in a group. After this should get the geometric limits of the Group and move it in 9 pts. I got an error when doing my selection in the group. Find the script below
//------------------------------------
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var mySelection is doc.pageItems.everyItem () .select ();.
var myGroup = doc.groups.add (mySelection);
//------------------------------------
can anyone give in this help me. Also suggest me if there is a better way to do it.
Concerning
Indana

Try this:
```
var dx = 9, u = 'pt';

Object.prototype.offsetX = function()
     {
     if (this.parent.constructor != Page) return;
     var sgn = 1 - 2*(this.parent.documentOffset%2);
     this.move(undefined,['' + sgn*dx + u,0]);
     }

var items = app.activeDocument.pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
var obj;
while(obj=items.pop()) obj.offsetX();

Hi all
I have InDesign CS5.5. I have a document with more than 50 pages, and each page has a unique image and description for the image.

Script to move the same objects of value of color to a layer

I have a range of color objects upward into process colors, and I would like to the moved to the individual layers of script.
so the result would be to move all items from cyan to CYAN layer, move all the magenta elements to the Magenta layer, etc. etc.
Could someone help please?
Thank you very much

something like this will do the trick.

Add textFrame on each page of the document

I tried to write a JavaScript script to add a textframe on each page of a document.
The script is written is:
myDocument var = app.activeDocument;
for (pageCounter var = 0; pageCounter < myDocument.pages.length; pageCounter ++) {}
Create a text frame on page pageCounter
var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item (pageCounter).textFrames.add ();
The scope of the text block
myTextFrame.geometricBounds is ['60 p', 22 ' p', '65P', "40 p"];.
Enter text in the text block.
var pageCounterPlus1 = pageCounter + 1;
{myTextFrame.contents = "Page" + pageCounterPlus1 + "" + myDocument.pages.length}
In my 5 page document, the script sets a textframe on page 1, 2, page 2 and 2 and page 4, but omits pages 3 and 5.
My guess is that it's something on the pages, but I don't know how to fix it.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

How to recover the large number of columns for all items at once
I have a table (T1) with a large number of columns (50). I am building a page on which I would like to consolidate these columns in some regions:

Region: has
Items i1 - i10

Region: B
I11 - i20 items

Region: C
I21 elements - i30
…
Etc.

The majority of the articles on this page are extracted from the same table (T1). So far, the type of each source element has the value SQL query and each item has the motion of the source is defined as:

SELECT column1 FROM t1 WHERE t1id =: global_item

What is the best practical approach to retrieve values for all items on this page? Is there a way to retrieve all the columns point at the same time, something like:

SELECT column1, Column2, Column3, column50 FROM t1 WHERE t1id is: global_item

Instead of:

I1 point source:
SELECT column1 FROM t1 WHERE t1id =: global_item

Point source i2:
SELECT Column2 FROM t1 WHERE t1id =: global_item

Point i3 source:
Column3 SELECT FROM t1 WHERE t1id =: global_item
…
Item i50 source:
SELECT column50 FROM t1 WHERE t1id =: global_item

For each item on this page, when they are displayed?

Thank you for your time.

Daniel
Set the source of static assignment type item and delete individual values of source of SQL query. Create a process before the header PL/SQL along the lines of
```
begin

  select
            column1
          , column2
          , column3
            ...
          , column50
  into
            :i1
          , :i2
          , :i3
            ...
          , :i50
  from
            t1
  where
            t1id = :global_item;

end;
```
OR

Create an automated process line go through the wizard for the table T1, then set the Source Type of the database column and the source values for each item in the name of the corresponding column in the T1.

my computer still not crash each time I have delete or move an item, how can I fix?

whenever I have move an item to another folder as some blocking window. samething when I delete 1 point he blocks as well. what I always do is to put an end to the task bar and open another window

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Script to remove all the images, text blocks, and the page numbers on a layer

I have a 364 pages with 322 illustrations, photographs mainly, for offset printing.

The photographs will be be overprinted with the varnish on a plate in the fifth, and I set it up as follows:

On a new layer, (double layer 1) all photos are removed, but not their mounts.

The frames are then filled with 100% black.

All text blocks and page numbers must also be deleted.

I realize I could have done this job easier if I put all the images on their own layer first, but unfortunately I do not have.

And I don't do myself, script, so I was wondering if anyone has a script that will do...

With the help of CC 2015.1 on Windows 7.

Today, I don't have time to finish, which gave time to until now is the following:

    myLayers.locked = false;
    myDoc.layers.item(myLayer).visible = false;
    NewLayer.name = "SampleNew";    //Add your new layer name here

                function re(){

                    for (var d = 0; d < openDocsLen; d ++){

                    myDocuments.layers.item(myLayer).locked = true;
                        for (var i = links.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
                            if (links[i].hasOwnProperty('relink')) {

                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                  }

        var myStories = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().getElements();

            myTextFrames[j].remove();
            }
        }

Move all the items assigned an object Style to a specific layer?

Hi all
I just posted this in the regular InDesign forum but thought you Scripting Guys can have some smart solutions too:
I'm working on a long document in InDesign (think the or not!) in which I have a lot of shots of models and images of the still life as it comes to women's fashion catalog. I only work in InDesign as all Photoshop work is ensured by our repro House, off site. At the present time the way in which I communicate all work comp that needs to be done is by placing a solid box of magenta or cyan on the image for maximum visibility. Of course, I have a style of object applied to these boxes, and I also like to keep a layer separate from the work immediately so that they can be off print times.
Often I forgot to move a box to the correct layer or sometimes just slows me to do. What I would ideally like to do is assign a layer to the style of the object, but seeing that this is not possible, I was wondering if there is another solution to get all these boxes one layer in one foul swoop and so save me a piece of time.
Thanks in advance!

Ah, sorry about that. The script makes the unfounded assumption that each object has a style of object applied to it.

Try this variant:

myDoc = app.documents [0];

myPIs = myDoc.pageItems.everyItem () .getElements ();

for (var j = myPIs.length - 1; j > = 0; j-) {}

try {}

If (. appliedObjectStyle.name myPIs [j] = 'Repro Note') {}

.itemLayer myPIs [j] = 'Repro Notes. "

}

} catch (e) {}; ignore the elements that have no style object

}
