• [JS CS3, win] Saving InDesign using app.activeDocument.save

  Hello.

  I have problems saving a document in InDesign using Javascript.

  My goal is to have a box in the document where I type the name of the file and the path where I want to save the InDesign file (eventually it will be generated from a datamerge).

  Then, I want to run a script that will read the contents of the box and then save the document to the file name or location.

  At the moment I have:

  SaveText.jsx
  A JavaScript InDesign CS3
  //
  Saves the document in the provided path

  get the content of the FileNameBox box on the document
  var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
  Save now
  app.activeDocument.save ("/" + varFileName + ".indd");

  Alert (app.activeDocument.filePath);

  When I run the script (with 'Hello' in the FileNameBox) file changes its name on the top bar of InDesign to "Hello.indd", but (when I run the commented warning at the end) the file is not actually save anywhere.

  If I close InDesign, then open it the file is listed under 'Open recent' on the menu, but clicking on it does nothing - even when the file does not exist.

  Does anyone have ideas to help me to tear my hair out?

  Where is my save file? (Or, if not, how can I do save!).

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  var myFolder = new Folder ("~/Desktop/Test");
  If (! myFolder.exist) myFolder.create ();
  var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
  app.activeDocument.save (myFolder.fsName + "\" + varFileName + ".indd");
  Alert (App.activeDocument.FilePath);

• How to change type of police using InDesign scripting (Javascript)?

  Hello

  I need to change the font type of a document, InDesign using InDesign script (javascript). I found a few online references in the InDesign scripting guide and running extract next, gives me errors.

  Delete existing preferences

  app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

  app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

  app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;

  app.changeTextPreferences.appliedFont = app.fonts.item ("DEVANAGARI MT");

  App.Documents.Item (0) .changeText ();

  Download the msg of InDesign server.

  Error code: 1

  Error description: changeText

  The indesign file that is used to change the font is certainly not corrupt, cause the following script to export the file in .png works very well. Any help appreciated.

  app.pngExportPreferences.exportResolution = 100.0;

  App.Documents.Item (0) .exportFile (ExportFormat.PNG_FORMAT, PreviewDocument don't);

  Hello

  Try this 1-liner:

  app.documents.item(0).stories.everyItem().appliedFont = app.fonts.item("DEVANAGARI MT");
  

  Guess above specified police is available. Some disorders may begin with the name of the font, cause not always WYSIWYG.

  To be sure how to refer to a specific font by its name - a console text and notice of runing ESTK select this option:

  app.selection[0].appliedFont.name

• Setting value using javascript on the form of tables created by APEX_ITEM

  I can assign the value using javascript on normal form of table as below:
  
  var vRow = pThis.id.substr (pThis.id.indexOf ('_') + 1);
  $x_Value ('f05_' + vRow, 'Value');
  
  However I can't do the same if the tabular presentation is dynamically created by APEX_ITEM.
  
  Some tips on how to do this?
  
  Thank you

  If this should not be something like:

  this.id.substring(4, 8)

• How to use Javascript to loop through a tabular presentation

  APEX: 4.2.3

  DB: 11 GR 2

  Requirement:

  I have a master form / retail. We will see that master is the order information; Detail is the order lines. Detailed form is tabular

  The detailed form, there is an attribute called 'Line Order Qty' and the user can update this field.

  User can update all rows in the detail forms and change "line Order Qty' for each line. When the user click on 'Save' button on Master form, I have to do below:

  Sum of the 'line Order Qty' for all lines, and compare it to another field called 'Plan Order Qty' on the master shape.

  If sum 'Line Order Qty' > "Plan Order Qty", then it should appear a message with "Are you sure?" with two buttons on the message: OK and cancel.

  If users click on 'OK', the application will proceed and update another field called 'Sum of Order Qty' on the main form and the value set for the sum of "Online Order Qty" for all lines;

  If the user clikc 'Cancel', the application will be paused. The user must come back to change "Line Order Qty", and then try again

  given, I need a popup message when the validation, I think I have to write javascript; However, in the javascript code, I need complete all lines in detail (tabular form) to get the

  The sum of the 'line Order Qty'. Then I can compare the value and to launch the pop message if validation has failed?

  By reading this thread: building the perfect beast: Oracle APEX - Soft Validation using dynamic measurements

  I think I need to create a reference for action (DA) dymaic Javascript expression; However, in Javascript, how do I browse a table?

  Yet once, I need an example of using Javascript to browse tabular forms in the form master / detail.

  I don't know that my question should be raised before; but I can't find a good match of thread.

  Thank you!

  The sum of the 'line Order Qty'. Then I can compare the value and to launch the pop message if validation has failed?

  Follow the steps below

  Step 1: Change your page - > function and declaration of the Global Variable-> to insert the code below

  (i) f06 is here, the column on which I am looping the f06 column and enters the total variable to the value change in the values of the row that is changed by the user.

  (II) also replace your column with f06 markup on which you want to loop and calculate the total

  (III) assuming that P6_ITEM is the point where you plan_order_qty, replace with your article.

  (IV) SAVE this demand is what happens when OK is clicked, assign the request to process.which you give the floor to a click of the button SAVE the

  function update_order_qty () {
    var line_order_qty_tot = 0;
    $("input[name='f06']").each(function() {
      line_order_qty_tot += parseFloat($(this).val().replace(/,/g,''))||0;
    });
  
    var plan_order_qty = apex.item( "P6_ITEM" ).getValue()
  
    if (line_order_qty_tot > plan_order_qty) {
        apex.confirm('Are you sure?', 'SAVE');
    } else {
        apex.submit( 'SAVE' );
    }
  }
  

  Step 2: Edit the page-> Execute when loading the page-> to insert the code below

  \\calculate the total on change
     $("input[name='f06']").change(function(){update_order_qt();})
  

  Step 3: Change your button Save and put under the Action when the button is clicked

  Action: Redirect URL

  Target URL:

  javascript:update_order_qty();
  

  Hope this helps you,

  Kind regards

  I created a matrix report, enabled the conditional formatting. The only problem I have right now is to go to a link in the report.

  I use 3 text elements Apex - P1_ID, P1_NAME and P1_URL.

  I use also 3 dynamic actions

  1. DEFINE NAME - will set the P1_NAME field with the value clicked in the report.

  2 SET ID & URL - define the fields P1_ID and P1_URL of the DB using the P1_NAME field.

  3-pop-up-appears the P1_URL using javascript.

  Problem statement:

  The pop up page is a blank page, although I can see that the value for the P1_URL field is defined using dynamic measurements.

  Could someone please take a look at this example and help me with the same.

  PS: The example was developed using sample data.

  Hello

  When you use the substitution in JavaScript string, the value is used when page and is pretty hard-coded in the document value.

  Even if you change the value of the element or the element value in session state, it will not happen to the HTML document.

  In dynamic action, try something like

  popupURL($v("P1_URL"))
  

  Who will choose the value of the item and pass it to the popupURL function.

• Can you create Destinations named by using JavaScript?

  I am creating a menu option in Adobe Acrobat that uses JavaScript to parse through a large pdf document and create named destinations by using the titles in the document.

  The titles all follow the same format unique, so I am able to identify them using regex. Once I found a title, I identify also the page it's on--and I store several times the title and the page in a table.

  My plan was to create named destinations using the information stored in the array. However, I did have a lot of chance to find how to create destinations named with JavaScript.

  Any input would be appreciated.

• How to incorporate paths in InDesign using ExtendScript document?

  Hello

  I have graphics vector somes in an Illustrator document that I need to integrate into an InDesign document. To do this, I use javascript, Scripting InDesign CS6 of targeting.

  What I managed to do is the AI placement in a rectangle in InDesign:

  var rectangle = page.rectangles.add();
  rectangle.geometricBounds = [15, 15, 15 + 30, 15 + 40];
  var aiFile = File("/d/test.ai");
  rectangle.place(aiFile);
  

  It works fine I get my file I put the rectangle. However, it creates a link to the file have, while I would like to integrate each path draw lots in InDesign.

  Is it possible to copy vector using scripts, as graphics when you select, copy paste from Illustrator into InDesign?

  Hey Kevin,

  You can disassociate the link of the placed Illustrator file.

  In your case it would work like this:

  var rectangle = page.rectangles.add();
  rectangle.geometricBounds = [15, 15, 15 + 30, 15 + 40];
  var aiFile = File("/d/test.ai");
  rectangle.place(aiFile);
  
  //Embed the placed AI file:
  rectangle.graphics[0].itemLink.unlink();
  

  However, this isn't the same vector copying / pasting shapes from Illustrator into InDesign.

  The file placed remains a file embedded PDF type on the page.

  If you want to copy and paste paths, you must Access Illustrator and InDesign scripting, do not place the files in InDesign.

  But there is a good chance that you will end up with very strange constructions on the page in InDesign. Or you might fail for reasons of the strange. 'Easy' routes might work, "complex" will not and throw errors.

  To access Illustrator, you can use the BridgeTalk of ExtendScript features. Or maybe AppleScript, if you are on a Mac.
  Refer to the Documentation from Adobe for BridgeTalk script or search this forum or on the web. There is nothing for beginners, I would say.

• Extract PDF form data using JavaScript and write in the CSV file

  I received a PDF file with a form.  The form is * not * formatted as a table.  My requirement is to extract form field values and write into a CSV file that can be imported into Excel.  I tried using the menu item "Merge data from spreadsheet files" automated in Acrobat Pro, but the release includes both the labels and values.  I'm mostly just interested in the form field values.

  I would use JavaScript to extract the data from the form and learn JavaScript write CSV file (since I know what should look like the spreadsheet of end).  I got regarding the extraction of the fields in the form:

  this.getField("Today_s_Date").value;

  And the rest of this post: http://StackOverflow.com/questions/17422514/how-to-write-a-text-file-in-Acrobat-JavaScript , I tried to write to CSV using:

  var cMyC = "abc";

  var doc = this.createDataObject ({cName: "test.txt", cValue: cMyC});

  but I get the following error:

  "SyntaxError: syntax error".

  1:Console:Exec ".

  Ideally, I don't want to use a third-party tool online to make, because the data are sensitive.  But please let me know if you have any suggestions.  The ideal output is a CSV file that an end business user can open in Excel to see the format of spreadsheet of his choice.

  Did anyone done this before?  Open to hearing alternatives as well.  Thanks in advance!

  The code you have posted works fine for me in the JavaScript console, so I suspect the problem is something else. Where did he put the code and y at - he seized another code?

  In addition, if CSV is not a strong requirement, I would say that you use delimited by tabs instead. Fields normally cannot contain tab characters, this is a good qualifier to use. It will be also more reliable when you import in Excel. If you need to process the field data that may contain quotes, you need prepare correctly the string data and can use a JavaScript library like this: https://github.com/uselesscode/ucsv
