• 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...

• frames of text block on master pages

  I use InDesign CS4. I created a master page from left and right - each master page has two text blocks. All frames are threaded, starting with the first picture on the left mask, then the second image on the mask on the left, which is then threaded to the first image on the good master, which is bound to turn the right on the right master frame.

  When I throw the text in blocks of text on layout pages, the text flows from the first column of the first page to column on the next page and so on.

  Is there a way to force the text to flow in the same way that frameworks are configured on master pages? In other words, I want a page layout, text is flowed by the first column of the first page, in the second column on the first page, to the first column on page 2, in the second column on the second page and so on.

  Are you that flow directly into the main frame, or you would outweigh the first one before placing the text? Substituted executives are no longer a part of the master plan of thread, but I think if you had column giudes implemented this autoflow elapse even through all the columns in the page, even if she was not use key frames. A little confusing, to say the least.

  Can you post a blank doc with this master page somewhere and give us a link here?

• The blocks of text and master pages

  You have a question about the layouts and master pages.

  If I build a file to have a left and right master page.  I have a text box to the Center which has a different position, based on the page being left or right facing.

  When I first add pages to the document, all right.  If I change the order of the pages in the text position box so wrong.

  I tried "Snap to Guide" and using "bearings commented.

  Any suggestions?

  BAD advice, Rik.

  Reapply a master page reaffirms all main objects behind those who were previously substituted. The same thing happens when you have facing pages and add or remove an odd number of pages - all pages that change of camp is rebuilt with new frameworks of unreleased masters for executives who have been manually replaced. Text blocks which were published automatically by placing text into it without a manual control must first swap positions, so it seems that the OP publishes masters executives before adding the text.

  A way to minimize the impact would be to allow the adjustment of the layout before adding pages, as long as managers are aligned with guides. You will always get the second image behind, but if she has no line, filling or content may not be a problem. In the show The other hand, if you publish a master frames before entering the text, one wonders why they are on the master page in the first place.

• Help w. blocks of text in the Master Page

  Hello

  I need to do a simple task, but it seems impossible.

  I do a large number of documents of the same type and stlye. Lets say, something like a certificate or diploma. They all have the same design, and the only thing that is different in them is the text in 2 areas that each text a. say that if we follow the example of certificate on each card, I have to put in the same text two boxes - 'the name of the person' and 'date '. So I have to set a beautiful master page with 2 text boxes that I can fill in for each card. Given that design can change, I need to be able to move the positions of the boxes on the master page, after I filled out their. I have to be able to change the case, the police and other properties of text in each box. For example, I when I have done 1000 certificates and filled respectively 1000 names and dates of receipt and then I decide that I must place the box with the name on a different position on the page and also to change the properties of the text, as Times New Roman to the Georgia. And to do it from the master page or another effective way without changing each certificate.

  So far I managed to place the boxes on the master page, and I saw that I can replace the text in each certificate and always be able to move the position of all the boxes on the master page. But I can't find a way to change the properties of text boxes.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  The trick is to not move the text block on the page of the document, or you need to move each one individually. If you want to move them all, move on the master page. If it's just a few, you need to move those appearing on the document pages and lose the connection to the master page.

  And you need to use styles if you want to make a change that will change everything. A paragraph style should do, unless you want different text within a paragraph attributes. In this case, apply styles of character for different pieces. And substitute styles locally.

• Why is the text in my master page header reformatted after the publication of Business Catalyst?

  Everything goes well with the text in my master page header in Muse, but when you are viewing my site online, the text is reformatted and a biased. I contacted tech support, and they told me that there is a problem with Business Catalyst, they are working on right now. The workaround is to open your site in Muse, click 'File', choose 'Properties of the Site' and under "Advanced", uncheck «Enable in the browser Edition.» Once you publish the site again, the problem should disappear. I'm curious to hear if anyone else has had this problem and if this workaround is successful or if you know other solutions.

  Hi Rebecca,.

  If you are publishing to Business Catalyst, go to file > properties of the Site in Muse. The 'Advanced' Panel will turn off IBE. We will address this problem in an update very soon.

• change /-the font size of a text field on master pages is not possible? (field prop)

  Hello

  I would like to change the font and the font size of a textfield on a master page.

  I wonder if I did anything wrong, because font options (size, fonts, etc.) are simple grayed out / not available, when I click on my text field.

  Apparently, there is a way to customize the font properties of a textfield (only) on the master page.

  Well, I guess it would work with java script in the event init... but really, why the hell it should not possible just use properties/text properties?

  Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm doing something wrong, or is it really not possible to customize the police of a text field on master pages?

• out the anchor text block and copy its contents

  Hi all

  I have a script that will be able to anchor to InDesign text block and it works well. Now my problem is that I released that anchored text frames and then copy its contents the same position where the text block was at anchor.

  Here's what I do:

  1. find and block of text of a document (using the find object, anchored by its applied object style).

  2. release the anchored object found.

  3 copy its contents the same position where it was anchored.

  For 1 and 2 rep, I maybe able to do but point 3 I have no idea.

  Hope someone can lend me the time to solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

• Apply effects to the text block and not the text

  I am trying to apply a shadow to a text block, but he keeps applied the effect of text rather than the text block.  I click on the text block, and then effects and shadow and object is selected in the 'Settings For' drop-down box.  However, he maintained the application of the shadow to the text, rather than to the text block.   I am doing this wrong, or is there something else I need to do?

• Blocks of text on the Master Pages with CS3?

  I produce a catalog in CS3 on my Mac using OS Mavericks.

  I put in place of master pages with square 6 graphic blocks on each page. Each of them has a CAPTION below, in which I put up as a block of text. I clicked on "Apply Master pages", but when I go to the blocks of text pages are not displayed to the top. The only way I can enter captions on pages is by creating new blocks of text, 6 on each page, which is very tedious and time consuming. What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you.

  Welll...

  As bob says it is not Quark where you can just click to type in a main frame, but you CAN Cmd + Shift + click to override the main chassis and type in it. You might be better off, however, with a framework prédimensionnée and style in a library that you can drag onto the page and position. My feeling on frameworks masters get substitution is that they probably shouldn't be on the master page at all.

• Eratic behavior: book, the main text blocks and Cross References

  I'm on InDesign 2014.2. Mac.

  I'm working on a fairly large book. About 14 chapters / sections, about 400 total pages. There are also hundreds of cross references, almost all of them to anchor references.

  The design of the book is as simple as possible. There is no graphics, text blocks only.

  I use a single master page, with facing pages, and a block of text type. I used it throughout the production of the book, and the primary text flow worked well, chapter after chapter. Pages have been created automatically, and automatically flowed text.

  Maybe I need to change the page size of the book, and I also have a lot of editing to do which will reduce a lot of the chapters. I wanted to make sure all pages use the main text flow to do that, go as gently as possible.

  To my dismay, I discovered that although I used systematically throughout the book master text streams, all but three of my chapters have inexplicably lost their text stream. All images in these chapters have converted into ordinary images. That I edit the book, it's playing havoc with paging and referrals.

  I tried to restore the flow of text in one of the first chapters. It's easy to do, in theory.

  • Move the first page off to the side frame
  • Delete all pages except the first page
  • Command-shift-click on the first page to restore the flow of the main text
  • Copy and paste the contents of the old frame into the primary stream restored.

  
  

  When I do, the pages to move properly, and I'm back to having a chapter with a block of primary text on each page. Unfortunately, this breaks all cross-references that refer to this newly reorganized chapter and all references to the front in this chapter.

  
  

  I tried to do all that I could imagine. Only remove the frames and not pages. Try without the busy book. Nothing works. I tried the command update cross-references in the book menu. Has nothing.

  
  

  It seems impossible to redistribute the text in a new primary master framework, without completely breaking the cross references.

  I finally found something that seems to work:

  • Create a new master page at the end of the document.
  • Go to the last page of the history of the chapter and the last history image a link to the text block type on the page that you just created.
  • In the pages palette, delete all pages in the document, with the exception of the master page that you created.

  All text will be redistributed within the frameworks of masters, and cross-references (to and from the frame) seem to be intact.

• Why not my text on the master page appearing is not on a page of body?

  I'm working on 11 FM. I have a text box "this page intentionally left blank." on a mooring on a master page called blank Page. When I assign this master page to a page of body (using the master page), the headers and footer appear, but isn't my text "this page left blank.". How can I fix it?

  Is "this page intentionally left blank." as part of the main text (flow one) on the Master Page 'white '?

  If so, remove it and place it in a new block of background text on this page.

  Flow text on MPs does not appear on the pages of body.

• Book level - import formats and master pages

  Hi all

  I am very new to writing scripts for framemaker (and a perfect beginning to script) and I find a little difficult to find information in an environment that I do not know in. Maybe you can help me.

  What I would do:

  I would like to be able to change master pages, page layouts, paragraph formats and character formats in the first document of a book and then run the script, which will be

  1. import pages masters and the first document formats into other documents (just like if go you via file > import > Format),.
  2. the book was updated.

  In the folder in the installation folder example scripts, I found an example script which runs through all the documents in a book:

  Book = app. ActiveBook;

  comp = book. FirstComponentInBook;

  while(COMP. ObjectValid())

  {

  Open (comp. name);

  nextComp is comp. NextBookComponentInDFSOrder;

  prevComp is comp. PrevBookComponentInDFSOrder;

  compType is comp. BookComponentFileType;

  Log ("BookComponent.log", "CompName"- + comp. name);

  Log ("BookComponent.log", "comp" file Type - + compType);

  Log ("BookComponent.log", "Component Type (FDLR, Grp, line)-" + comp.ComponentType);

  Log ("BookComponent.log" + "PreviousCompName" prevComp.Name-);

  Log ("BookComponent.log" + "nextCompName" nextComp.Name-);

  Log ("BookComponent.log", "-");

  component Process here.

  model = nextComp;

  }

  open function (filename)

  {

  openProp = GetOpenDefaultParams()

  i = GetPropIndex (openProp, constant. FS_FileIsOldVersion)

  .propVal.ival = constant .FV_DoOK openProp [i]

  i = GetPropIndex (openProp, constant. FS_FontNotFoundInCatalog)

  .propVal.ival = constant .FV_DoOK openProp [i]

  i = GetPropIndex (openProp, constant. FS_FontNotFoundInDoc)

  .propVal.ival = constant .FV_DoOK openProp [i]

  i = GetPropIndex (openProp, constant. FS_FileIsInUse)

  .propVal.ival = constant .FV_DoCancel openProp [i]

  i = GetPropIndex (openProp, constant. FS_AlertUserAboutFailure)

  .propVal.ival = constant .FV_DoCancel openProp [i]

  retParm = new PropVals()

  docOpen = Open (filename, openProp, retParm);

  Return docOpen;

  }

  function Log (logFile, textLine)

  {

  file = new File ("C:\\ESLog\\"+logFile);

  leader. Open ("a +", "TEXT","?");

  leader. Write (TextLine + "\r");

  leader. Close();

  }

  Makes me started a little. I saw the line here //process component / /, and I am a little familiar with programming and scripting. I sort of see how it works in principle. But then I'm at a loss.

  I know there is a lot of documentation on scripting FrameMaker (I have the script guide). But I can't find the corresponding information without spending hours of learning.

  Could someone help me?

  Huge gratitude in advance!

  Hi Matthias,

  While Jang was cooking a script, I have too, so here's my version... that the duel begins!

  An essential point about your original message... that the example script is almost here, everything you need to add was:

  -A line to remember the first document in the book. You will see that in the script of Jang where he defines 'sourceDoc' and my script where I define "firstDoc.

  -A call to SimpleImportFormats() on each document to import this first document formats. You will see that in both scripts.

  In addition, the example script included a lot of logging that was not really relevant to the task you want to complete, so I simplified the logging to be easier to apply. You don't want logging at all... in which case you might lose the Log() lines. It was just something useful sample showed how to do.

  Jang script includes a function to search for a document currently open before you attempt to open it from the file system. I think it is good practice and something I would work myself in a script like this.

  My script includes checking for a file of open book, in which case the book window is currently active. You can or don't want that. I put that much because it's often a pain to have to remember that the book window must be active.

  In any case, with this, enjoy!

• Cannot change the text in the Master Page

  I don't often work in InDesign.  I had created a template file for a book back in December 2011 (initially created in CS3).  I opened this file in CS6 today and did save as.  Now it's time to change a few things to customize for this new book.  So, I went into the Master Pages to tweak things.  But, I can't edit any text.  I can click on some pictures (not all), but no text is selectable or editable.  What in the world happened to my account?

  I have also returned for the final files for the book that I did in December (not the template file, the files of actual work).  Those who give me the same behavior.  Text that should be editable is not selectable.  Once again, some photos can be selected and moved, etc. but no text/text box.

  Is there a conversion that takes place opens a CS3 file to the CS6 which causes this?  How should I do?

  Thank you

  Matt Tyree

  You can always open the objects individually using either the layers panel (which is been updated, too), or by clicking on the lock icon on the object itself (near the upper left corner).

  That said, you'll be happier if you cahng Evos preferences to allow selection of locked objects. This essentially restores the beahvior you are used to see - post is locked, but you can still select and put the content in a frame.
