• doScript (UndoModes) breaks InDesign Undo (CS4)

  I wrote a small script. To make sure that I can cancel it all of a sudden, I used:

  app.doScript (principal, defined, undefined, UndoModes.fastEntireScript, "My script");

  Once the script has completed, regular cancellation of InDesign is broken. It is no longer cancels distinct but only revert to the point steps until the script was run.

  What can I add at the end of the script to return things to normal?

  Thank you

  Ariel

  If you use try/catch in your script, you should probably use

  UndoModes.entireScript instead.

  The reason is little complicated...

• Help with script overset text?

  Hi, I found this script I think it is by Laubender. Which I use for a while now and I love it. It is easier to see where the blocks of text with overset text.  My Question is.  How would change this to get rid of the fill color of Magenta (perhaps with the original color of text box before the Script ran?) after the overset text is corrected

    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;   
    app.doScript

• Find an object with an object style and increase its height! …

  Hi all

  I found each (anchored to the current text) 'invisible' block with a specific 'AA' object style and change its height SO its offset is > 180 (depending on the origin 0,0 page by default).

  This seems to be simple but, still, who doesn't!

  Thanks in advance!

  (^/)

  app.doScript("main()", ScriptLanguage.javascript, undefined, UndoModes.FAST_ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "xxx");
    
  function main()
  {  
    
  app.findObjectPreferences = null; 
  app.findObjectPreferences.appliedObjectStyles = "AA"; 
  myFound = app.activeDocument.findObject();
  
  
  for (i = 0; i < myFound.length; i++)  
       {  
          var myGB = myFound.geometricBounds;
          var myYOffset = myGB[2]; 
          var myHeight = myGB[2] - myGB[0]; 
          
          if (myYOffset[i] > 180) myHeight[i] += 90; 
       }  
  
  }
  

  Replace this:

  myFound.geometricBounds

  with this:

  .geometricBounds myFound [i]

  You must then change the geometricBounds and apply it to the object:

  myGB =...

  myFound [i] .geometricBounds = myGB

  Something in this direction.

• Edit an Indesign script for me?

  Hi all!

• Imitating a sequence of keys

  Hello world

  I have a problem that I can't find information on I'm sorry to say that I don't have an example or even a beginning of a script to put it up here .

  I try to imitate a sequence of keys, I use a plug-in that is not supported by the script, but I've set up a keyboard shortcut in InDesign to perform an action.

  I use manually the combination of keys 'alt r', I wonder if there is the path of the script imitating this key combination, so I can run as part of a script?

  Any help welcome, Bren

• 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... :-)

• Formatting text (copy / paste)

  Hi friends,

  I need your help!

  I am writing a script that will find in particular for "IMP" paragraph style, as the first line of paragraph correspond to the width of the text frame and continues the second cutting line and paste it after the 3rd line (that style paragraph maximum 2 lines only). I have the screenshot for your friends to reference below. Please suggest all friends.

  Width of the frame of my text: pt 340,157

  Before running the script: the Normal text formatting.

  

  After script execution: I need the text formatting.

  

  Please advice friends. It is possible to script? (very urgent process).

  Thanks in advance

  This script will switch paragraph style of lines two and three of each textbox with the "TRUER" applied. See http://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-install-a-script-in-indesign-that-you-found-in-a-forum-o r-blog - post.php for more information on the installation and use of this script.

• Point to add to the script or Grep Style?

  Hello

  Is it possible to add a hightlight to a script?  Basically, what I want to do is highlight the text and the tricky part is that the text changes size depending on the size of the file, we are working on that.  I want to highlight automatically the "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" the way that we do now is to underscore that in the menu options underscore: say my font size is 8, leading 9.6 (these will always change).

  Weight: = 9.6

  Shift: = - 8*.33

  Color = yellow

  It's the way we do now.  Can it be scripted or Grep style which will automatically do this for certain lines of text only?  And no matter the font size calculate what he needs to do if its 2pt, 10pt 100 PT etc... It will highlight the text specified correctly?

  I hope it's possible...

  Thank you

  The lower one is best.

  I remove a bug and also if not 'what' is provided to the point function culminating and there is no entry in find it which is the find panel of text and text is selected, then this text is highlighted.

  An idea in the script is that a shortcut can be applied to it and it will get its information from the Panel of text search.

  So for now to change the answer to this one

• Automatically convert soft line breaks in the text box to hard breaks

  I have the design of textbooks and convert to ePub recomposable, broke up. These ePub files get formatted then can be used interchangeably on the printed text. A book that I am currently in conversion is a literature book where there are lines of text with the overall line numbers so that teachers can quickly refer to a specific section of the text.

  All the line breaks in the ID file are defined just by the edge of the text box. So the text box change sizes, all line breaks would also change. Isn't a problem until you need to keep these online breeze in recomposable text and add up the numbers in.

  
  What I'm looking for is a way to insert automatically the line breaks in these LONG sections of text in the right places. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do that?

  Thank you!

  Select a text box and run this script. He puts a soft return at the end of each line that doesn't have a carriage return.
