• Girls need help with a script to repeat the link to another folder in indesign

  I REALLY hope you smart people can help me.

  We had servers which means that all of our Indesign documents now have a broken link. To manually "re-edit the link to the file" causes Indesign down :-(. And it takes forever I am hoping to find a script that can connect all the links in the doc to a new file structure.

  The name of the link (name of file) and the file structure remains the same; Just point to another server. The structure contains subfolders so the best way would be that the script can see subfolders as well, but otherwise I would gladly use a script that points of 6 subfolders at a time.

  Problem - I KNOW NOT ALL SCRIPTS and I'm a graphic designer so I can't create scripts :-(. I have already had success Googling a script to unlink everything in the document, but I don't know how to run the script. DO NOT to create them.

  ANY help in this forum? I have 6 designers waiting for me to fix this.

  Is there a script where I could just change the path and then he could repeat?

  We have iMac OSX Yosemite 10.10.4

  PLEASE HELP... :-)

• text box linking to the previous used document

  For some reason when I click on a text box, it opens the previous indesign file that I saved for the current file I'm working on. It pops up in front of the file I'm working on which is very annoying! There is a new feature that creates a link to previous files, that you saved?

  You have a hyperlink in there to the old file?

• Text box disappears when another text box is placed too close, anyway to turn this off?

  When you use pages any image or text box 'disappears' or moves if an another image/text is placed too close however to Keynote when it isn't a problem. This function can be disabled?

  Select the two text boxes and tab organize, assign automatic voice against zero dressing. Now, these two items are more questions of mutual polarity, and the boxes don't repel each other. It is a parameter object, and not an application setting permanent.

• JavaScript for text box fill trigger another text box fill

  All I'm looking for is when data is entered in a text box, another text box auto "00". I've searched the forums and can't seem to find what I'm looking for.  Thanks for any help.

  You can use something like it's custom validation of the first field script:

  If (event.value! = "" ") this.getField("Text_box_2").value ="00 ";

  Adjust the domain name if it is not the same as your file, of course.

• Document text now linked to another document - how to remove?

  I admit that I am new to InDesign and learning by the proverbial firehose. I was select, copy and paste content from an InDesign document into my current draft. As the new document uses different characters and Styles of paragraphs of the former, I remove the ones that copied during the previous document and reallocate all text copied with the present criteria. So far, it has worked without problem. The last time that I did, somehow my current to the old document document linked any content that I copied it from. So whenever I try to change it in the new document, even the smallest thing such as the removal of the text, he must go back and open the former document before he can make the change in the new. It really slows things down to be virtually unusable. How can I break this link for the old document? Thank you! Phil

  The best way I can think to move a book and get reworked links is probably the 'package book for printing." Who must make copies of everything in a single file that can be moved (NOT copied) to a new location and ID should find the right files in the same folder. Copy to a new location where you can always access the copied files repeat just the problem you have now.

• Text box for the title of master InDesign

  I want the positions and areas of text paragraph styles used on slide masters to stay the same on every page, regardless of the text in the box. As much as I know InD does not? Let me explain. I don't think I use InD commonly used. I use it as a more robust PowerPoint (MS Paint do you think vs Photoshop). I use it for the graphical flexibility and I use A LOT of HAVE graphics and make interactive PDF presentations, etc. My biggest beast with InD is with page titles. Imagine a title on each page, which all have the same paragraph style and specific location. Every page has unique text for the title, but I want the paragraph styles and positions remain the same, or better yet, to update the need later via a master page. Sometimes our presentations will be worked on my many people. Because as they put some text in the text block and tile, they override the master page text frame and where are allowed to move inadvertently. When all the sections back together the titles of the pages are free to bounce around page to page; albeit very subtly. With a terrace of more than 100 pages, it takes a significant amount of time to readjust all the titles of the page again. Which in my mind is an important aspect to have masters in total.

  The best work around is to use chapter markers. And they work great until the needs of title, a jump of line and then everything goes to poop because line breaks allow no chapter markers...

  I wish there was a way to break the master text block substitutions while keeping format constraints. It is the ONLY of PowerPoint feature I've wanted that ind did. If anyone has a clever work around or better understand, I would be grateful.

  Master frameworks should work properly. You can pre style and lock them to position, and then change the application preferences to allow selection of locked objects.

• InDesign unpredictable spacing at the top of the text box.

  Hello everyone. I have some frustrating problem which I assume is an easy solution. InDesign creates this empty space on the top of my text box function where to place the box. In this case, I found the pixel exact position where when I move the box one px upwards, it removes the space, but when I move it to the bottom space is added. Any ideas what setting that could be and why is it useful? At the moment it is more frustrating.

  Note: This text is linked to another text box, and nothing seems to change on the previous text when it has created space.

  

  Looks like you have a snap on the base power grid.

• Expandable text box

  My client is interested in the following set up:

  1. a user clicks on a button and it brings up a text box hidden with information there.

  2. in the text box, there is another button that is able to extend the text box and displays additional information.

  3. when the user is finished, the click the button again and the text returns to the initial display.

  Can someone guide me on how to set up this situation. I am aware that JS should be, but I'm rather elementary in the JS area.

  1. What are the events is it necessary? (Mouseover/click?)

  2. how to keep the text box open and allow it to expand with a button clicked?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Here is my solution for this. You want to do some prettying up the layout before submitting it to anyone, of course.

  

• Problem with the pdf export: text box becomes visible

  When I export to pdf format, sometimes a text box lines become visible. In Indesign, I put them in transparent, so you don't see them here. But after an export to PDF, they are visible in the form of thin white lines. I tried to export to EPS and also here it gives white lines: the borders of a text box. Seems not all the text boxes. But sometimes one or two.

  So let me assure you... it will DESTROY the quality.

• How to make a text box appear in a PDF file in InDesign CC when the cursor rolls over another area of text?

  I'm doing a text box appears in a PDF document in InDesign when the cursor of the user hovers over an another textbox, and I want it to disappear when the cursor moves off the coast of the first text box. I tried the following with adjustment of various, and it does everything just for me.

  Display a different button on turnover

  You can create a hotspot in which clicking or mousing over an object contains another object. To do this, create two buttons, hide one of the buttons and use the show/hide button action to show and hide the button target.

  • Create an object to use as the "source" button. In the buttons Panel, click the icon of the object to convert to A button.

  • Place the image you want to use as the button target and convert it to a button.

  • Select the target image and select hidden until this that triggered at the bottom of the Panel buttons.

    The image must be hidden in the exported document that can be displayed when the "source" button is clicked or wriggle on.

  • Click the source button and create two different actions, one for show the image target and target the other to hide the image.

    If you want the image to appear when the mouse is over the button source, use events on Roll Over and On Roll Off. If you want the image to appear when you click on the source button and disappear when you release, use events on a click and release. In both cases, use the show/hide action buttons to show or hide the target button. See the interactive buttons.

  • Use the Preview Panel to test the buttons.

  Should work...  On your last point (not 12?) I get the feeling that you have exported your doc as Adobe PDF (Print)? You must instead use (Interactive) Adobe PDF...

• Selection in the drop-down list box determines the text to display in another box - ideas?

  Hello, my name is Zac.  I spent a lot of time trying to figure this one out for myself, but I couldn't find what I needed.  A few threads looked promising, but I realized that they only apply to the LiveCycle.  Many other threads link to discussion 2006 Thom Parker on this subject, but it is very advanced and I feel that what I need is not as complex as the solution he proposes.  I've never used Adobe Acrobat until a few weeks ago, but with the help of Bernd Alheit and George Johnson I managed to create a document with fly-out help windows and scrolling lists and radio buttons which dictate the choice.  It's great and it works.  The last thing I have to do is to create a text box (or some kind of box) which will display a pre-written block of text based on the user choice in another area (a drop-down list box).  Like this:

  

  I wish, it is also easy to create because it draw a picture of him!  If the user selects "Algebra 1", for example, a specific description display below.  There are a lot of courses and descriptions, and the descriptions are long enough (as shown).  It is not necessary for the user to make changes to the description - in fact, which would be terrible.  But I would like to be able to copy text from it and paste the text in another area of text on the same page.

  Thank you very much, all those who have ideas please share them! Again wild guesses. I learn from all this.

• Why my links do not work in the text box next to the e-mail in Outlook?

  I created an email template in Eloqua, which is a two-column layout. The text box on the left has links that work very well. The text box on the right has links that do not work. This only occurs in Outlook. If I find the email in an another e-mail client, all right. What could be wrong causing the links is not working?

  If another person has ever run into this and found a solution, please let me know. I'm pulling my hair out!

  I called support this morning and all I had to do was move the text box on the right side to the top of a few pixels and now everything works fine. I guess when the two tables are the same height, Outlook rides them and cannot process the links properly. I like it when it's an easy solution!
