"Select the same...". "Just like in Illustrator in Indesign?

Hello all-

I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any Indesign plug-ins or scripts that work similar to the illustrators ' Select same...» "feature to find objects, type & features the same color value as what youhave already selected.

I work in prepress and we have customers that spec type in weird colors (0% black, color registration, or an RGB color which is not yet in their color palette)

Specificaly in the text, it would be great to have a tool that shows what text is colored and where. What objects or anything that can be in RGB, because the color is often not in their palette. We have these traps all the time and it is difficult to catch manually all.

Any direction for such a plugin or script or advice would be appreciated!

DA

DA,.

Select that even does not work in the ID that you would be able to choose some stuff on a single gap.

But have you looked at the selection options in the find/replace by attributes of objects?

This feature is actually more robust than the orders of 'Identical' Illustrator.

You can find objects with a certain color of line and a specific race weight.

You can search for objects by rounding, transparency attributes options, envelope text options and so on.

It is so much more powerful than Illustrator!

And you can save complex queries for future work.

Oh, even BETTER than Illustrator.

Alternatively, you can APPLY using this formatting dialog box. Much more powerful than Illustrator.

  • Impossible to select the same graphic style on glued eps

    I opened an eps.

    Copy the whole graph.

    Open the correct model and paste the chart copied.

    The template styles to graphics with the same background and outline (no other attributes don't exist) pasted chart.

    However, I can not select items from pasted chart based on the pasted graphic graphic even if Style contains elements with the same stroke and fill.

    I can't select the same outline and complete either.

    I checked the Document Color Mode and made sure it was RGB color.

    However, when I select the item and double-click on the initial window color picker shows new 1100 color so I suspect even if the same style Illustrator is affecting the color of the element and running like new.

    This selection process is a step in an action to apply styles and works - so this isn't.

    Probably something simple changed the settings, but appreciate any suggestions as to where the issue could be found.

    It's old CS2 on Mac PPC G5 pays for itself always perform the simple processing of the output files.

    All advice appreciated as many hours trying to figure this out.

    Thank you

    Michael

    Awesome! Works a treat. I have to just make sure that Document Color Mode is CMYK and color as you say Graphic Styles are defined to same in the imported graphic. I thought I was smart by setting Document Mode of color RGB and graphic Style as well.

    Thank you for identifying and really, really appreciate your time and knowledge.

  • By selecting the same outline color or fill in only a single work plan (not all)?

    This seems to be an obvious question. I have 6 work plans in a document, each containing a slightly different version of a complex logo that I'm working on. In the past, I would have just used a large body of work and had a layer for each different version but this time I thought I'd give multiple work plans, a go (I've just updated for CS3) and without layers. Trying to go to Select - same line color, it seems that it selects the same color of stroke on ALL working plans. In the past I would have had the layers locked except the one I was working on. I looked in preferences to see if there's something to turn it off, but it does not exist. Am I missing something?

    One thing you can do:

    Select the entire document on the artboard, you are dealing with, select reverse, Lock (Cmd + 2).

    This way you have blocked all on other work plans.

    You can now select same wotever on the artboard, you deal with without affecting the others.

    I have the table and I would like to draw only the data points in pairs of lines in a table. Unfortunately, the data field in the series tab does not appear to support formulas, so something like (MOD (ROW (a1: a10), 2) = 0, a1: a10 does not.) Anyone have any ideas on how to automate this?

  • Opening Subvi in the same monitor like main vi

    How to make my Subvi to open in the same screen the main vi is in?  I tried the execution window position options, but that seems to fix the Subvi to a particular monitor.  I want the user to be able to drag the main vi in any available monitor and open the Subvi this monitor.

    Thank you

    Learn a few methods of VI:

    Before Panel.Run - Time Pos.Get - returns a bunch of default stuff including watching the front panel is on.

    Before Position.Centered Panel.Run - Time - specifies where the VI will appear the next time it is run.

    In addition, defining the position of the window may move between monitors.

    This might get you where you want to go.

  • Prevent the same selection in the menu in a Table expanding

    Hi all

    I have a table 2 x 2 in which the top line is a header line and the line of the low 'Row1 '. Row1 Cell1 has two buttons, one to add a new Row1 using Javascript click script of the instance:

    this.parent.parent.instanceManager.addInstance)

    .. .and one for delete all Row1 using Javascript click script of the instance:

    rowNum var = this.parent.parent.index;

    this.parent.parent.instanceManager.removeInstance (rowNum);

    Row1 Cell2 contains a datadropdown object.  Basically, when a user adds an extra Row1, I need prevent the to select a previously selected item in the list of dropdowndata.  I can't understand because I'm trying to set up output instance script (or would be - this script validate?) who's trying to reference Row1 [*].  In most simple situations where I have two fixed objects, I just made this as an output FormCalc script:

    If (Object1 = Object2)

    then xfa.host.messageBox ("you cannot select the same thing again")

    and xfa.host.resetData ("Object1")

    endif

    ... that prevents the user to select something with the same rawvalue by alerting the, then turning off the field.

    I hope this makes sense and someone can help!  Thanks in advance for all the gurus of adobe there

    Hello

    Would it not possible to filter the choices in the drop-down list that have already been selected.  If so, you could try something like this JavaScript in the event your falling down preOpen.

    dropDownItems var is ['abc', 'def', 'hij'];.

    var lines = Table1.resolveNodes ("Row1 [*]");

    for (var i = 0; i)< rows.length;="">

    {

    var line = rows.item (i);

    If (! line.) DropDownList1.isNull)

    {

    dropDownItems = dropDownItems.filter (function (item) {element return! == row.}) DropDownList1.rawValue});

    }

    }

    this.setItems (dropDownItems.join(","));

    The first line Initializes a variable with all possible values and then we will although each line filter those already selected.

    You will probably have to change the names of form objects depending on you form, but here's my sample to test the code, https://files.acrobat.com/preview/eb0256dc-af30-4f7c-9187-469ba84464a4

  • To organize how to apply the same setting to all subfolders in a library?

    I created a new library and included a simple 'root folder '.  When you use Windows Explorer to view the contents (subfolders) in the root folder, I want all subfolders to be displayed with the same settings custom: arranged by updated (descending order), see details, set custom column widths (which I adjusted it), etc.  But no matter what I try, I can't not all subfolders have the same settings.

    I first tried to resolve one of the issues just like I wanted, thinking I could use the option under arrange / folders and Search Options / View (rather that the way XP and W2k allowed you to make the changes then 'apply to all').  But this option seems to be disabled with the library.

    Then I scrolled down (in Solution Explorer) and saw the same folder - without going through the library.  Yet once, I adjusted the settings to be just like I want.  Then I tried to arrange new / folder Options & Search / View.  This time, the and options WERE available... but even after I first and then subsequently settings still don't are not captured by other files - even not records 'child' of one, I changed.

    Then, I went back to the library and tried to change the "type of optimization" from the general to the Documents... and then repeat all the steps described above.  Still no joy... the bookstore seems determined to view all content "by the record" rather than how I want.

    I lost a few hours now, trying to do this simple task - VERY frustrating!  What Miss me?

    Thank you
    Adam

    IMO, this is not possible. You will need to individually customize the folder > subfolder > and so on and so forth...

    The opeion "Apply to all" has the XP/Win 2 K will only be missed here!

  • Import multiple Word documents of several pages with the same master page?

    Hi, I should start by saying that I have no experience with script.  However, I wonder if there is a simple script for the following problem:

    I created a master page with three linked text boxes. Right now, I use Cmd + D to select a file in word, and then Shift + click in the first box to place the text on the page. But I have 125 pages that are exactly the same, just different layout Word files to import. I could repeat this process 125 times, but I wonder if there is a way to tell InDesign to create 125 pages using the Master Page X and a for each import file?

    I use InDesign CS5 v 7.0.4 on Mac OS x Snow Leopard 10.6.7 v

    I thank in advance for any help you can offer,

    NW

    I'm sorry. The problem is that InDesign treats the two pages of the spread of master together, I guess you have to make a few hoop jump. Try this, then:

    var
        d=app.activeDocument,
        p=d.pages,
        i, frames, masterPage, page;
    
    for (i=0; i
    

    We have to check the whether the page is a left-hand page, and if it is, use the first page (0) of the master spread, otherwiseuse the right page.
