Through the development of Application InDesign/InCopy

Hello

I have developed a plug-in for InDesign and InCopy automatically fill stories and layouts with the contents of a database.  Until the Extension Builder / 1.5 CSSDK what I coded for InCopy worked in InDesign as well. Now, since EB/CSSDK 1.5 all variables must be strictly defined

[Bindable]

private var hostName:String = HostObject.mainExtension;


[...]


If (hostname == "com.indesign.app") {}
var thisStory:com.adobe.indesign.Story;
var xmlElement:com.adobe.indesign.XMLElement;
var storyRootTag:com.adobe.indesign.XMLElement;
}
else {}
var thisStory:com.adobe.incopy.Story;
var xmlElement:com.adobe.incopy.XMLElement;
var storyRootTag:com.adobe.incopy.XMLElement;
}

Is there an easier way to do this?

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!

Although there is overlap in InDesign and InCopy urgency, is one subset of another, then it would probably not trivial to implement a common CSAWLib for both. It would be interesting to measure roughly similar overseas departments are.

«InDesign and InCopy are considered to be separate packages and the only way to program itself at once is to use ExtendScript calls or throw to the wind of type checking all.»

You would never write your script code in YOU rather than not typed AS? If so, why? Use non typed LIKE code very similar results, with some bonuses. For example, you can debug your extension code in the same IDE.

  • What is the next step to get the debug version of InDesign CS6?

    I downloaded and used earlier versions of the developer version of InDesign for Mac and I completely forgot how. I hope someone here can advise me what I should do and point me in the right direction.

    To the header of this forum it says:

    "To effectively use the InDesign SDK, you must have installed the InDesign debug version. Debugging of InDesign are available through Adobe partner programs. You can connect to one of the partner programs using the Partner Portal. Here is a link to the landing page of Solution Partner. Here is a link to the company the developer program page. »

    I use the account by which we have established a program of partner before. So here are my questions.

    (1) how to find my details to see if I need to renew the partnership? We already had one, but it could be expired and I can't say. Should what kind of partner program I expect?

    (2) once the partnership program is released, I will actually download the debug for CS6 InDesign for Mac?

    (3) if the above is the wrong approach, no one knows the SKU for the debug version. We talked to our contacts at Adobe, and they have not heard of a debug version of InDesign. The SKU could help them find the right product for us.

    Drop an email to the folk on the assistance of partner technical [email protected]. They manage the administrative aspect of this partner program and should be able to help with questions about your membership and the debugging of InDesign.

  • The Developer J with Webcenter installation

    Windows Server 2008 Standard 64-bit running. The Oracle environment is on 2 servers with the same configuration. DB is 11G (v 11.2.0.1.0). I installed the last Webcenter Suite (R11 - PS3) in Weblogic (10.3.5.0) server.

  • InDesign only will launch properly through the creative application of Cloud

    Windows 10, InDesign CC 2015.4.

    I was happily using InDesign yesterday and is working on a large file from a remote server. All idle so an analysis it was unusable and I started having funny behaviours, such as not being able to select things. I finished by force he leave via the Task Manager. Since then, every time it loads, it will access interface but then freeze: do not click on menus, the window does not respond: just frozen (However the window never come with "No answer" as you would expect). Only way is to kill him via the Task Manager.

    A ctrl + alt + shift reboot several times, not good. Finally, I uninstalled, then reinstalled. Same thing. Abandoned during the day and I am now at home. Tried to uninstall and reinstall again and again the same thing. However, because I had the creative application cloud opening instead I clicked "Open" app. It opens up very well and I was able to work. Quit smoking, has launched from the taskbar, recent applications and by double-clicking InDesign.exe (all three are essentially the same thing) and I get a window does not respond. Open again via the app and no problem.

    Tried starting secure, and it works little matter how I try to launch it.

    Booted up normally again, no dice. I disconnected (e) Creative cloud before embarking to see what would happen. Launched inDesign and he has popped up with the Application Manager asking me to connect. Has done this, then the Application Manager stops on "wait a moment" with the spinning wheel indefinitely until the window had finally "not responding" in the title bar. Had to kill with task again Manager.

    So, can someone help me out here? Only other thing I can think is to uninstall all apps CC then the Manager app CC itself, but all my other apps seem to well (well, Illustrator and Photoshop are, in any case).

    I managed to do remove my recently given admin rights. Restarted, and CC apps seem to work fine now. Why this should affect things, I don't know. However, I enjoy once more being able to navigate to an InDesign file, double-click it and opened it.

  • Publisher cannot access file InDesign in InCopy CC, while the designer is in the same folder with InDesign CC

    Hello

    That's the problem we have

    When a designer opens a file that is stored on a network through InDesign InDesign share, and an editor trying to open the same InDesign file in InCopy, the error message "this file is already opened by another user or another application. This file can be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it."is displayed. To work around this problem, the designer must close the file in InDesign, and the editor should open the InDesign file in InCopy before the designer will again open the InDesign file using the InDesign application. This issue does not appear in 9.1. Adobe support said that the files are not at the same time in InCopy and InDesign, but it is the function that the product has been designed to accomplish and this problem has never happened before. The files are stored on a network share.

    dcf6d27e7fc58f50e8f8d1781df0753c.jpeg

    In addition, when an editor is updating an InCopy assignment and a designer click the transfer of update to update their view from InDesign, the error message "the content is locked and cannot be modified." appears. If the designer click OK, the display is updated as expected. This happens even is the assignment is NOT checked out by another user.


    aa1f3400f4f3a8e22c68e970cd7b81b4.jpeg

    Finally, if a designer adds or updates a graph in a file using InDesign InDesign while the editor is editing the file using InCopy, the editor using InCopy is not update unless they completely shut out of the InCopy application and re-open it, which, because of the above problems is not possible. The only way that the file can be edited in InCopy is the designer to close completely out of the file, for publishers to close, and then reopen in InCopy, how the designer can reopen the case. If some editors are away from their office at the time of the update, the whole process must be repeated so that they are able to open the latest version of the file in InCopy.


    This question seems to be due to a significant flaw in the 9.2 update version for InDesign, as none of these issues took place before the 9.2 update. A computer currently always has version 9.1 of InDesign to our company and does not have these problems, we lead with 9.2. We tested several configurations of our network trying to deviate from our network as the problem, but the only case in which we experience these problems is when we use InDesign version 9.1.  Also, we never had this problem before the update of InDesign and InCopy 9.2

    Thank you!

    Graham, thank you for this detailed post and screenshots. A group of my friends InCopy customers alerted me on the question and pointed me to this thread. I have passed along some products Adobe InDesign/InCopy and engineers and leaders hope to see their responses here soon (and a fix, fingers crossed).

    In the meantime, the workaround that is not * too * expensive is to use assignments. InCopy users on 9.2 can open assignments without a question, as I can tell. If you use a workflow based on the layout (like most of my clients), all this means, is that you have your opinion of designers one more step when preparing their ID file and that is, to create an assignment which is the * entire * InDesign file, actually it backwards in a layout-based workflow.

    They create the transfer by clicking the new posting at the bottom of the assignments Panel, no need to enter anything in the "assigned to:"on the ground or to change other settings, ensuring that InDesign records in the file of the project to the server. "

    Say they called the assignment "April Issue." If they have already exported stories, simply drag the InCopy content not affected on the April outcome category in the category and then update the assignment (they can right-click on it to update, or choose update assignments in the Panel menu). If they export more/news stories, ask them to export them or drag and drop to this assignment even.

    Notify your users of InCopy do not open the INDD file more. Make them rather go to assignments folder (automatically created ID) project folder and open the assignment file. "April Issue.icma" in this example.

    Multiple InCopy users open the same file transfer simultaneously, just as they could open the same INDD file simultaneously. They have nevertheless check stories in and out as usual. Always only one user of InDesign can open the file at a time.

    The only other change in the workflow is that the designer will have to remember to always update the assignment of each change. Save the changes to the InDesign file does not automatically update the assignment file (ICMA). They might want to assign a keyboard shortcut to this command.

  • WebWorks development through the deployment of visual studio plugin problem

    I developed an application WebWorks using the Visual Studio plugin, now after compiling the application, I have a series of .cod files, not. bar.  Documentation indicates that the blackberry - deploy command wants a .bar file to deploy the application on the Simulator.  I tried to just take all my program assets (images, js, css, htm files, etc.), the zip and compile them using the command line tool (bbwp), but I get a series of errors of syntax and then a final error (an exception through the JRE) indicating that it could not find the file necessary to complete the compilation bar.  Maybe I forgot something?  Any help would be greatly appreciated since I can't test this application, unless I can actually deploy in the Simulator.   The .cod file deploy the application I get an error indicating that there is no such thing as a specific file in archive (although I've specified a .cod file).  For some reason any I can't get this thing to deploy on the current device.  PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! This part of the project is so frustrating at the moment, been working on the deployment of the hours now.

    I think it's because the config.xml file that was generated by visual studio for BB device and not the playbook.  You will need to create a file config.xml for the app playbook.  The simplest way is to each one of the webworks tutorials copy or there is an example in the 'Blackberry Webworks SDK - Table OS Development Guide'.  Here is the link http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/24043/BlackBerry_WebWorks_SDK-Development_Guid...

  • Can I develop the online Admission application without using the AAWS feature?

    People,

    Hello. I have implemented PeopleSoft Campus Solution 9.0 revision 5 for a University.

    I need to develop an application for Admission online for future student to apply for admission.

    My installations of PeopleSoft are below:

    Server machine: Oracle Linux 5.10 (64-bit)

    Client computer: Windows XP Professional (64 edition) with the Internet Explorer browser

    Architecture Internet Oracle Linux 5.10 Server:

    (1) database server: Oracle Database 11 g version 11.1.0.6.0 is

    (2) the server application: Tuxedo 11 g

    (3) web Server: Web Logic 10.3.6.0 and JDK 1.7.0_09

    (4) browser: Firefox Mozila

    (5) two Instances of huge database on the database server: 8.53 PeopleTools and Campus Solution 9.0.

    To develop the application for Admission online, I made the 4 parties with WebLogic 10.3.6 and JDK 1.7.0_09 as below:

    (1) install ADR (Application Development Runtime) 11.1.1.6.0 (64-bit)

    (2) install the RCU 11.1.1.6.0 to create the scheme of OWSM_MDS (32 bit)

    (3) create a WebLogic 'Domain_CS' domain in WebLgoic 10.3.6.0 in support of MARC 11.1.1.6.0.

    (4) install JDeveloper 11 g 11.1.1.6.0 Studio Edition including WebLogic 10.3.5.0.

    The application for Admission online is developed in JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.6.0 Studio Edition and WebLogic Server 10.3.5.0.

    His EAR file will be deployed in Production WebLogic Server 10.3.6.0 in PeopleSoft Internet Architecture.

    As a general rule, Web Application is connected directly with database Tables.

    But in PeopleSoft, application for Admission online does not connect with database Tables directly. He must connect with AAWS (Admission Application Web Service) and through AAWS gets to the DB tables.

    From my point of view, we can connect directly the admission application online with its Instance Tables of database and do not need to connect with AAWS. It is easier to connect with DB directly to AAWS. In other words, do not use characteristic AAWS.

    My question is:

    May I develop the application for Admission online linking directly with database Tables and do not use the feature of AAWS?

    Thanks in advance.

    People,

    Hello. The problem is solved by myself. We use AAWS because constraints are built. Thank you.
