Scripts for indesign

• Fast Java Script for indesign issue.

  Normal java code will work in indesign?  For example, if I find a good bit of code I want to integrate into indesign scripts?

  Yes, with the following exceptions:

  1 no browser-specific code. (no document, window, etc.)

  2. no modern Javascript features will not work. ExtendScript uses an older version of SpiderMonkey under the hood. Stick to ECMAScript 4.

  It is worth noting that ExtendScript supports E4X, XML is a first class citizen.

• Need help to create a Script for the labelling of Finder of Indesign files

  Try to find a way to have a script run in InDesign CS4, who tagged a RED text file once it's been imported into InDesign.

  Import multiple text files in an InDesign template. Since there are several text files in the same folder, it must somehow 'delineate' that we have imported this file and move to the next import. I created a 'service' with a keyboard shortcut Automator to label the Red file in the finder, but it would be great if we could have this occurs automatically after we imported in InDesign.

  If import us the text wrong by accident and it gets missed in fermentation, it costs us a lot of money with the printer.

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  Jim

  At its heart, it's what you want to do.

  tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
       set placeFile to choose file
       tell active document
            tell selection
                 --Assumes you have preselected the picture or textbox to place file in
                 place placeFile
            end tell
       end tell
  end tell
  tell application "Finder"
       set label index of placeFile to 2
  end tell
  

  You can expand on it pretty easily. The script for InDesign dictionary must be in the Library palette in the Applescript editor and the docs for Applescript are all online.

  If you need further assistance, you may wish to ask someone to write a complete script for you to spec for real moneyz.

  Best o ' luck!

• I have two script. one for indesign and another for photoshop. How can I combine the two scripts?

  
  Hi all

  I have a script for indd that convert a table selected user in JPG format (1276 px width, height varies). Second script photoshop asking to select jpg file and then check if the height in pixels is less than 1018 pixel, can he expand canvas size (height) to 1018 px.

  How can I combine the two script, tip, or how to start would be useful? The workflow must be:

  • the user select table in the indd document
  • export table in jpg format
  • script you will be asked to select the file table jpg or if it is possible to automate this would be awesome.
  • enlarge the height of the canvas to 1018 px

  Thank you

  PS: I have already read the Java script tool guide pdf but unable to understand

  Yes and the documentation is pretty self-explanatory.

  However, here is an excerpt:

  function callPhotoshop(file) {
     var bt = new BridgeTalk;
  
     bt.target = "photoshop";
  
     bt.body = "function main (){ return confirm('Am I in Photoshop?'); }; main();";
  
    bt.onResult = function(resObj)
    {
    var myResult = resObj.body;
    alert( myResult? "PS code was correctly executed" : "Something wrong happened" );
    }
  
     bt.send();
  }
  
  callPhotoshop();

• PDF-to-InDesign script for the folio

  Hello

  I downloaded the script above to create a folio of pdf in ID6. I would use it to publish on devices Android, but understand that a Horizontal scrolling in the DPS should be turned off to enable the pinch to zoom on Android devices feature. However, when we use this script, it creates an article in ID 2 page (with the exception of the front and back covers), that is, when Horizontal scrolling is disabled, scrolling occurs on the Android device which makes it very confusing to navigate the magazine.

  My questions are, we can modify the script so that it produces unique page ID files and if so will pinch to zoom work with specific items?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I adopted the script for several scenarios, which may be useful. It can certainly be more managed.

  Claudio, to answer your question, Yes, you can adjust the offset value in the script. I did it for our PDFs with versions below.

  I made changes in the script which include the following:

  1. Drop the required naming convention. Page names should be ordered now 1 - x. Ex: 1.pdf "Page, 'Page 2', 'Page 35.pdf', etc. I added a sort function to sort problems where there is a # different numbers in the numerical value of page. Note that the word "Page" is not necessary.
  2. This allows spaces in file names.
  3. Note that the script still requires the sidecar to the command files correctly. Folio Builder will import an article "Page 10" before "Page 2"when you perform an import multiple article.»

  Here is one who creates 1024 x 600 H & V. page layouts (target: Kindle Fire 7 "SD.) Note, due to a limitation of Android/DPS of the flattened chimneys not being is no PtZ, you can not PtZ.)

  Here is one who creates layouts of 1280 x 800 H & V. (target: Kindle Fire 7 '' HD Note, due to a limitation of Android/DPS of the flattened chimneys being don't not PtZ, you can't PtZ.)

  Here is one that creates only provisions of 1280 x 800 h. (target: light the fire 7 '' HD.) Given that this includes no flat batteries, you can use PtZ).

  We were just testing some of these options, in that no guarantees are these infallible. However, if you encounter a problem, feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll see if I can fix it for you.

  Concerning the PtZ is not not available for items flattened in the Android, my discussions Adobe viewers has no desire to fix this / add features to their current viewers focus on the air. When they release a viewer Android native (Q1?) it would probably be a valid request if it is not available from the start.

• Script for automatic placement of several text files?

  An editor I work with is slowed by a change to their workflow. Maybe there's a whole script for help? I looked but can not find, so I post here.

  Old workflow: Designers would be "automatic formatting" a single Word doc with all the preliminary pages (sometimes > 10 sections of diff.) and chapters and endnotes in a model book.

  New workflow: The Word doc is now divided into 30-40 InCopy files, always destined to a single InDesign layout doc (The InCopy files were created from a Word doc marked by a different system, so that they are all new to the InDesign user.)

  Y at - it a script which, according designers load a square slider with 30-40 (in the right order) files, which will allow them to simple-click on page 1, and InDesign will place one after the other files, autoflowing necessary? They still need them to be placed in individual InCopy files (so would not help concatenate Prime). I don't think that there is never a case of 2 stories being on the same page.

  Thank you

  Hey AnneMarie,

  This script allows you to select a bunch of files and will try to place them, one by one, in your InDesign document. It will be auto-flux them according to the needs (but be careful because standing in excess of problems - because the script does not test for this).

  I tested with a lot of property, but not with InCopy files because I did not. If they are adjustable as Word documents, the script must run end.

  Let us know if everything works correctly for you.

• Script for grep that looks for the B of paragraph style paragraph style

  Hello

  I am fairly new to scripting in Indesign, and I ran across something I want script that I do not know how. Among the paragraph styles that are in our files are Normal and song. I need to add an extra paragraph return between all instances of normal followed by a song. I tried to search the forums to see if what was already here somewhere, and if it is I didn't come through it. I want to implement in the form of script grep, but if anyone has another way to do it, I would like to know also.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  For example, you can use a script.

  I guess a block of text with a correct history is selected and the history is in a setting or related frameworks.

  ....

  monarticle = app.selection [0] .parentStory;

  If (myStory.constructor.name! == 'Story')

  {

  Alert (' select a destination text block, then try to pls\rand ");

  Exit();

  }

  myNormal = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item ("Normal");

  mySong = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item ("Song");

  app.findTextPreferences = null;

  app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = mySong;

  mFound = myStory.findText ();

  Len = mFound.length - 1;

  If (len > = 0)

  While (len)-

  {

  currPara = .paragraphs mFound [len] [0];

  If (.appliedParagraphStyle myStory.paragraphs.previousItem (currPara) is myNormal)

  currPara.insertionPoints [0] .silence = "\r";

• Apply Find &amp; Replace Script for. INDB?

  Hi Chaps,

  Is it possible to apply a script to search for and replace type to an InDesign book (CS4 > .indb)?

  I have a folder .indb that my have a number of documents, each with the word 'EURO' in a number of tables. I want to change that to "GBP" in all documents, but would like to automate the process, instead of manually apply the script to each document.

  Does anyone know of a script for this?

  Much thanks

  Samuel

  Well, it's also quite possible to have a script open all documents, make your operations on each and then close them. See, for example, http://forums.adobe.com/message/2072111#2072111

  Google around scripts more - I've written several that do similar things.

• Mode script for ANY c ++ function

  Hi all

  My goal was to use the pxi 5406 to implement features of frequency sweep. Right now, we use only the functions on the list of the frequencies of creation. There are four modes of release for the frequency list, signle, continuous, step by step and burst. We use the bleachers through fashion. It is painful to use this mode, since for each frequency, you need to send a rising edge, so if I have several hundred, it means I have to produce this amount of rising edges. This will generate a lot of buffer in another analog card.

  My question is, could I use script for the frequency list view? Or is there a smart way to achieve this? From the file of signal aid, he said that there are some c programe on script mode. But I can't find any examples in my computer. If you have any other, could you send me?

  Thank you very much.
  .

  Yami.

  Yami,

  The 5406 has the ability to run script mode. Only for her output modes are Standard function and frequency list. However, I believe that you can do what you want to do with the list mode frequencies. Assuming that you do not want to trigger you can put the camera in single or continuous Mode. Single will play your select frequency scan and then once completed, build:

  

  Continuous is similar, but you continue to repeat the signals to stop:

  

  All the above details are in aid of signal generators of NOR. I looked under the heading devices > 5406 > trigger > triggering Modes.

  With simple or continuous, you can specify the length of the waveform step, which could be a good starting point. With regard to the examples for c ++, I do not have, but if you look in the Start Menu, NOR-FGEN, National Instruments, examples, OR-FGEN C examples you can find a folder for "Sweep generator", there is a model and an example C you can look over your program after. I hope this helps!

• Scripts for data cleansing Perf
