Styles of synchronization through several models

I have an interesting problem, and my idea of 'smart' for a solution does not go as well as I hoped it would do to an apparent technical limitation in InDesign.

I have a bunch of InDesign templates. They share all styles (Pgph and tank for most) and attributes. There are about 30 models altogether for various reasons, and they share probably 25 identical styles.

Users open a file .indt and drop in content, style it and continue on their day.

Well, we need to update some of these definitions of Style, and it doesn't seem to be something that is particularly easy to do. The only way I knew to do is open a template file, make changes to each style, that I need to update and then save it to the .indt with a new.

It occurred to me that maybe we could put all .indt files in an InDesign book and use the style Sync feature to update all the, but .indt files are not valid entries in a file .indb. It's disappointing.

Is there a better way to do it? Now I'm looking at a full day to update Manual of dozens of Styles through a bunch of model files and then faced with the prospect that I might have accidentally missed a step or two on some of them and end up with mismatched styles.

Ideal for me would be a kind of file .inds that comes in is held the definition of styles as does a .css for the web file.

I could just use files .indd for models instead of .indt files, but we end up with users (myself included) who register on models by mistake.

I'm sure there are 3rd party tools that make this possible, but I doubt I'd get buy-in on those, and it would really make sense when we could only update these models all 6 to 24 months? Maybe there's some magic script, that I don't know who can do this?

Change that file temporarily to .indd extensions, add to the book, synch, then change back the .indt.

Any expansion is essentially say ID how to manage the default value at the opening of procedure. It has no effect on the content of the file.

  • Maintenance of the fill colors in styles of character through several documents HAVE

    I'll be very difficult to understand how Adobe Illustrator (CS6) manages styles of characters imported from different AI documents. If I create all styles of characters in a document unique .ai and only use that to in this document, everything works as expected - settings for colors, fonts and typography are maintained in the character style and newly added texts can be quickly style with the character style.

    My trouble starts when I want to re - use character styles in a new document .ai. In the menu style of character, I use the option import the styles of characters from another document, and that they import properly - all styles of work and text style as expected. But then i save & close the document and open it again it notes that character style entries are there, but the fills and strokes are all screwed up - fonts, sizes, typography settings are retained, but with a blue fill styles are suddenly filed with black, or another color.

    So, why is that happening? This occurs even if the nuances associated with character styles are imported to the new document as well. I read that all character styles are based on the 'normal' character style But, I tried a test ensuring that the style of 'normal' character was consistent between the two documents and I've known the issue.

    Here's a short video showing the issue I am experiencing: http://youtu.be/Z-BG7miwib8 (watch in 720 p)

    Points of view as to what I'm doing wrong would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Kurt - the steps you sketched out in fact held the imported styles intact through several save/re-opening of the document! Thank you. However, other styles of character initially imported but not used at once had the same problem to return the black fill and stoke color.

    So, I guess that the workaround is:

    -import swatches

    -import of character styles

    -make a text for each import object style of character and style it with every style of imported characters that you want to keep intact.

    -copy / paste each text object

    -Save the document.

    Good find on workaround Kurt - I use it without a doubt. I have just a small range of character outside of my plan of work style. What a pain though...

  • Help: apply different styles of Pará to several consecutive paragraphs using the script

    Hi all

    I need to apply different styles of Pará to several consecutive paragraphs using the script, something like this (found somewhere on the net):

    myDoc = app.documents var [0];

    mySel var = app.selection [0];

    var myPStyle1 = "A";

    var myPStyle2 = 'B ';.

    you need to add 6 styles here:

    var myPStyle3 = 'C ';

    var myPStyle4 = "D";

    var myPStyle5 = 'E ';

    var myPStyle6 = 'F';

    var myPStyle7 = "G";

    var myPStyle8 = 'H ';

    the last style is not necessary in the script?

    apply style 1 paragraph 1

    mySel.appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle1);

    apply styles to the paragraphs after selection

    style 2

    mySel.paragraphs [-1] .insertionPoints [-1] .appliedParagraphStyle = myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle2);

    next style

    mySel.paragraphs [-1] .insertionPoints [-1] .paragraphs [0] .insertionPoints [-1] .appliedParagrap hStyle = .nextStyle myDoc.paragraphStyles.item (myPStyle2);

    I tried a lot, but could not find the way to extend the sequence

    Sorry, no skills in the scripts still...

    all styles have "Next Style" option enabled, but I can't use ' apply style, then next style "or object styles, because I need four different sequences of these paragraph styles:

    A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H

    A-B-D-E-G-H

    A-C-D-F-G-H

    A-D-G-H

    and I don't really want to create special clones of the same style for each sequence (Keep It Simple, they say ).

    I think that this can be done through four slightly adjusted scripts...

    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

    Sorry to be late to the party, I usually take up such things immediately.

    How about this one?

    1. no separate necessary script, it uses a small dialog box where you can choose what style to use. If I'm not mistaken, you can press a digit key on Windows to immediately select one of the items.

    2. it works down in the paragraph in that your cursor is located. It has nothing to do with the blocks of text, even if - consecutive paragraphs within a story always ignore the text frames.

    3. extensible: you can easily change the names of the styles in the table at the top of the page and the number of groups of style in the list.

    var styleLists = [
              [ "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H" ],
              [ "A", "B", "D", "E", "G", "H" ],
              [ "A", "C", "D", "F", "G", "H" ],
              [ "A", "D", "G", "H" ]
    ];
    
    var radiobutts = [];
    
    styleDialog = app.dialogs.add ({name:"Set Multiple Styles",canCancel:true});
    with (styleDialog)

              {

  • problem with the connectivity of customers after mixing several models with WLC 5508 Setup WLAN ap

    Hello

    I have 2 5508 wlc and AP 1130 and 1200 in my test harness.

    Currently, WLAN set is in place and works very well but the customer become a frequent problem with the power of the weak signal same AP is installed very near the place of the customer.

    I have my doubts, if I have a question because I use several models of AP in my set-up?

    How to rectify the same question?

    Some time customer gets limited connectivity, means that they usually get IP also.

    What are all the parameters to check in WLC?

    (1) very difficult for a person on a forum to respond. Check if your AAA server was indeed seen as inactive at the same time for other devices.

    If this is not the case, check the network connectivity between the 2. Maybe packets are lost between wlc and aaa server...

    (2) as I mentioned, it may have nothing to do with clent near or far from the AP. What happens if your DHCP server is not responding to the client? What happens if the dhcp request never reaches the level of the DHCP server for some reason any?

    You must investigate all along path to find out why the customer is not getting an ip address.

    Troubleshooting involves trace of sniffer, debug, client, etc...

  • Zoom through several Photos

    I'm new to After Effects and trying to replicate a similar sequence of an After Effects file, someone has already done in my cabinet. It's a zoom back effect buzzing of big picture plan New York (empire state building) through several photos to finally a picture of the globe. I do not understand how the zoom effect has been obtained, as there is no camera layer (this is how I saw it in many instructional videos). I also do not understand how the layers of photos work, because it seems that all the layers in the photo are on through the entire timeline. Shouldn't they overlap and cause a mess?

  • Question of Clickjacking - addition of several models of url in a single filter mapping

    It's on Clickjacking issue. To avoid this problem of clickjacking I've added the following in the config file (web.xml).

    I have a doubt here. I need prevent this problem of clickjacking for another application as well (say, https://abcd.rw.xyz.com/mer/nao/app_v5/*). But I did it by adding a filter plus-cartographie, apart from the one mentioned above, in the config file. I can achieve this by adding several models in the same filter mapping URL? If possible, which is the best method? I want to say the creation of a new filter-mapping or add several models of url in the same filter mapping?


    Any ideas or thoughts appreciated?

    In this case, you can use a set of with several elements of . This design is actually better than the one in which you define a url for each item in model. In the design of the latter, the underlying Java code will create additional objects to represent the additional filter mappings, unnecessarily.

  • Table of contents search function can search through several SCO files?

    Table of contents search function can search through several SCO files?

    My project is a combination of 6 different SCOs, which I wrapped using the Multi-SCO in CC 6.1. The client requested a Table of contents (TOC) which can be consulted; However, our tests indicate that, even if you create a table of contents in the Multi-SCO mode, you are unable to search across multiple SCO files. That's why when you use the function search to search for a specific term, you are only able to search within the current OCS (active/charge). Is there a work around that?

  • Several models available for single data model?

    Hi all

    Currently I'm working on the XML Editor, here I need information on how to create a multiple page layouts for the unique data model using RTF.
    Please provide me with information, such as, how we can load several files of patterns page/how we can save and the process to select the specific provision based on the
    requirement.

    Thanks in advance...

    Kind regards
    Gopi.CH

    If you had heard a little more on the requirement, you could get best suggestions for your needs.
    Now it is not clear on what you expect, anyway here's my entries too.

    In addition to the submodel logic suggested by user928059, you can also create several models of XMLP liability provision.
    These models can have the same data source as your data model.
    At runtime, you can choose the desired model of the 'Options' tab in the screen SRS.

    Or if this is for a series of reports, then select the custom layout created in the configuration screens.

  • With the help of several models of breaking

    Hello

    We use BEEP 10.1.3.4, I have 2 questions regarding the breakup:

    1. is it possible to use several models of bursting - to give a quick explanation of our requirement, I need to burst a report with the destination file, but I want to have 2 different models based on a criterion in the application - that is to say if the category is X, then use A burst, the use of other model model B. Is this possible?

    2. I have planned another report to place every day, but I want the report to run only if there is no data output, it should not work if the output result set is empty - is there a way to remove the regular run when there is no data?

    I tried searching forums for the 2 question above, but could not find the right answers... Any comments will be highly appreciated.


    Concerning

    option 1:
    Use model PDF, burst them, you will get two different pdf output, use pdf merge into single output

    option 2:
    move to the rtf model to make the PDF model to the only two model RTF.
    It burst and get a single PDF output.

  • Synchronization of several text boxes in a single Indesign file

    In theory, this problem seems simple enough and there should be a simple way to accomplish my task, but every search I tried to sync text explains only how to thread text boxes.

    What I do is a model that is 4UP on the presentation page. Currently, whenever I make changes to my text, I copy several times change to reflect the change of each instance of my layout on the page.

    I want to do is to synchronize all my text boxes so that changes or updates will be automatically reflected in every instance of the layout. In the past I've accomplished this in Illustrator using symbols and instances of that symbol, but I still have to find a way simlar in Indesign.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Zach Barner

    Hi, Zach:

    Thanks for the comments. You should not repeat or update several references changed in a document individually.

    I did a test on my suggestion, because x - Ref are not supposed to break completely when the context of the source is changed. I saw that I didn't warn you about deleting the cross-reference marker (AKA 'Anchor Text'); When you create a cross-reference to the material of origin, in the same or different documents, InDesign inserts a marker for reference at the beginning of the source paragraph. If it is not visible, select Type > show hidden characters. It looks like a colon (:)) in the indicator of the layer color.

    NOTE: InDesign uses the term 'Destination' to describe subsection which shoots a reference in the position of the cursor when you insert a cross-reference, and he uses the term 'Source' to describe the paragraph from destination that is displayed at the location where the cross-reference is being inserted. This usage derives from terms used for InDesign hyperlinks, where it's raining logical. Depending on your experience pre-InDesign with references in longhand, typewritten, or other applications on the computer, you can find, as I do, contrary to intuition. I think of 'source', as what you shoot in 'destination', as the place where you view what is pulled and "reference" the thing that is pulled in. I also use the term "source document" to describe the document that contains the source of the reference, and I use the term 'document container"to describe the document that contains the reference (the stuff that are fired).

    Thus, when you change the material source of a cross reference in the source document, if you take care of not to delete the cross-reference markers/text anchors created at the beginning of the paragraphs of source, the reference in links hyperlinks/cross-references Panel of the document container to display a triangle of yellow warning for each source of change and you can update in a single action.

    Updating changed references may also be confusing: If no modified references (yellow triangle) are selected in the hyperlinks / Panel cross references are selected (highlighted), you use the update references at the bottom of the hyperlinks button / references Panel, or update hyperlinks reference point / wheel of the panel menu references , EVERYTHING changed references are updated. However, if one or more references in the Panel are selected, the update button or menu item updates only the selected references.

    See if this helps you simplify your operations.
