  myCaption.geometricBounds = [[2], [1], [2] Go + 3 GB [3]];

  Add the contents of the placeholder

  Hello

  Runing a code with your doc that you note possible occurrences (groups, the elements anchored, locked, etc items)

  This presupposes to exclude grouped and docked:

  capset ();
  
  function capset()
  {
  var
    mDoc = app.activeDocument,
    // anchored or grouped items excluded
    myGraphics = mDoc.splineItems.everyItem().getElements(),
    picContainer, gb, myCaption;
  while(picContainer = myGraphics.pop() )
  {
    // exclude empty frames
    if (!picContainer.graphics.length) continue;
    gb= picContainer.geometricBounds;
    // add a frame to to picture's parent, which is a Page
    myCaption = picContainer.parent.textFrames.add ();
    // set position and size of the caption
    myCaption.geometricBounds = [gb[2], gb[1], gb[2]+3, gb[3]];
    // add placeholder contents
    myCaption.contents = "Caption";
    mDoc.groups.add ([picContainer, myCaption]);

• Select all content in the indesign document to attach the script

  I have a script that does something useful for my document. But he always need chose the part of the document, as

  If (app.selection.length > 0)...

  Could you ask me how to select all the pages in the indesign document. I have a lot of pages. And I have a lot of files .indd
  I tried to use app.activeDocument.pages.item (0) .allPageItems; but it is not the effect of page = ( )

  Maybe I can use loop 'for', but perhaps there is a function of selection of all the document, is not only one page

  Thank you

  Of course:

  myPages = app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem () .getElements (); Table of references to the pages of the document

  for (var k = myPages.length - 1; k > = 0; k-) {}

  myPages [k] .allPageItems = myItems;

  for (var j = myItems.length - 1; j > = 0; j-) {}

  processItem (myItems [j]);

  }

  }

  It treats everything from BACK to front, which is usually the security approach and is potentially a bit faster that the other direction.

  You must always write the processItem function.

• Ungroup all groups on a layer (JavaScript) active.

  Does anyone know how you would you unlink all groups on a layer active with JavaScript?

  looking for "Recursion", check this thread, Mark has an example of recursion of layers and groups.

• Ungroup all the groups, and then create a single group

  Hey

  I can't get a script together where I can disassociate all groups in a document, then put everything under one group. Everyhting I work with as a single layer has, but for some of the arts that I am importing were groups within groups ect. To perform some actions, I did well after that I need everything that he in one group.

  I searched for an answer and found this (Carlos Canto wirtten)

  separate the function (whereToUngroup, group) / / where to separate them? layer, document, another group?

  {

  for (i = group.pageItems.length - 1; i > = 0; i--)

  group.pageItems [i] .move (whereToUngroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);

  }

  But I can't make it work.

  OK, it's just...

  Features 101 - you do not to change anything, you assume that build one (or someone else) and to use and reuse. You simply provide the parameters of that function was built to receive.

  to call the function (to use) to provide your own parameter names, they failed to match the original function names.

  var myGroup = blablabla... the group to dissociate

  var myDestinationGroup = blah... the group where you want the elements once separated, it could be a layer or a Document

  Unlink (myDestinationGroup, myGroup); call the function

  Since you are new to scripting and new here, I suggest to start good and mark questions as "correct" (or answered, I don't remember) whenever you get a satisfactory answer to a little close the thread, you don't have to if you think that you don't have the answer you are looking for.

  Dear professional inDesign,

  I have a problem with an InDesign Document. While opening, ID crashes down. I tried all the options in your HelpCenter, tried to open it in several applications, several Mac and PC. No luck. Is it possible to open it?

  This document is quite important vor an architecture-projekt.

  I'm afraid that I'm not having luck-getting an error code 5 even after running the recovery tools, that I have. I open in a text editor and he was able to read some version information, or at least what resembles the version information, and it seems that it might have been converted from CS to CS2 to CS3, but when generating 443, which was the first production or the latest beta version (do not remember at this point) , but that doesn't help much.

  At this point the only suggestion that I have left is the Markzware recovery service company paid: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery submission form

• I put 240 photos in an InDesign document using mini bridge.  Is there a way to hide the photos I used after I have put in my document?

  I put 240 photos in an InDesign document using mini bridge.  Is there a way to hide the photos I used after I have put in my document?

  I think Willi, and I even read your question differently. I thought you wanted to hide the images in Mini Bridge once they have been placed in InDesign so that you could keep track of those who you have (if you put twice the same image). If you want to hide in InDesign (as Willi read the question), his suggestion is very good. Another alternative is to use the shortcut to hide (command 3 on Mac OS), after putting the images, but before you click next to deselect them.

  I do not use Mini Bridge, so I can't help you there. If you want to use the full version of the bridge, you can use a Move command to move the selected items to another folder (temp), where they will not appear in your current folder. You can move after that that they all were placed. A bit of a hack, but it could work.

• apply a clipping for each top-level group mask in the document

  Sample file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzEoJSYDhH_WcXhIalFRTk9qOGc/view?usp=sharing

  We can assume:

  Art • grouped on configurations with a line called die.

  • All groups exist on "Layer 1"

  I am a loop in groups and work with groups who has relatives is "layer". I have to loop through all the groups in the document, but when I created the clipping mask creates a new group and live my loop. I am now a loop only in groups of "Layer 1"and moving them to a new layer before the clipping mask. My script is breaking after the Group has been moved to the new layer. I have a bunch of alerts in there for debugging.

  Inside of my plu script that it breaks in silence, in this example script is for me a 'no such item. There should be such an element, I just put there. Once the script completes, the Group has been moved, which means that the named path is right where it should be.

• How do I change an OpenType font to small capitals caps in my cc InDesign document?

  Greetings, community. It would be great if I could discover how to change the caps of an OpenType font to small capitals in my cc of InDesign document. It's a simple question.

  
  

  To be more exact, I have a piece of 18 pages that contains stage directions uppercase in brackets, I would change to small caps. The font that I use is an OpenType, Minion Pro, with small capitals.

  
  

  Another thing is, ideally, I'd like to be able to do it without change in capitals in the document and also, for not having to convert the caps to lowercase in order to.

  
  

  My source document (that I placed in my InDesign document) is Microsoft Word for Mac 2011.

  I go to Microsoft to know how in Word, but could not find a solution for Word for Windows.

  I tried their solution in all cases (a macro), but it did not work.

  
  

  Thank you very much. It's great to be in InDesign, even though I had my good years with QuarkXpress, which will become impossible for me.

  
  

  Morty Sklar

  You are missing a parenthesis at the beginning of the find which, according to me. Here, it works with all small caps OpenType.

  Photoshop CS5: Shots of the menu bar on cintiq 21ux I work with photoshop cs5 on a Wacom Cintiq 21 ux and it has always worked great. But all of a sudden the documents, I work in a wink from the above menu bar and I can't go back there. It covers only 2/3 of the cintiq. I installed the drivers from the wacom and installed photoshop again, but the problem is not resolved. It's very frustrating because it is almost impossible to work this way. I hope you can help me. I have Yosemite on the iMac, and it worked correctly. The problem occurred suddenly. I reinstalled the driver for the Tablet and photoshop cs5, but it does not solve the issue. I have a multiple display set in place. All other applications work fine (corel painter, illustrator, indesign). It's almost as if there is an invisible magnetic line on the screen where align with the document and the other tabs in the workspace. Now, I bought and installed cs6 and the problem is still there. Can you give some advice? Is this a known issue? I don't know if it ' s a problem caused by Wacom, Photoshop or Apple. Help, please. Thank you.

  I suggest that you take a look at this thread and see if something is a help to you: problem window CS6 on Cintiq on OSX Yosemite

• Batch to change the page size of InDesign documents

  I have about 300 documents in InDesign (2014 cc, Mavericks) a page of various page sizes. Each page is wider than 4 inches and 4 inches larger than the content of the page. The content is in middle of the page - actually make a margin of 2 inches (but with no margin guides) around the content. What I need to do, is get the page of all documents will have to be a specific page size, 7,125 "x 9.75".

  I was able to accomplish this by putting all the docs in a book, make a master page 7,125 "x 9.75" on a doc, synchronize the other docs and then opening each doc and apply the master page. The last piece was a bit a lot of work and I would like to avoid it in the future.

  Could write a script that opens some InDesign documents (in or not in a book) and changes the various sizes of page to the necessary size? I've never written scripts before, so no idea if it's possible or how to do it.

  I put the following on another forum and got help, but it took that I have control over the creation of the original documentation. And I did not. "Is there a way to globally apply a master page to all pages of all documents in a book?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

• Delete all groups and layers that are turned off, even if they are locked

  Hello

  I need help with a script that will do the following:

  Delete all groups (including the layers inside) and layers so they are not visible - with the following requirements

  a. even if the group or layer is locked

  (b) even if the layers within the group are locked

  c. same layers within the group are visible, although the parent group is off

  Then... the required logic would be

  Is it group or layer turns off? Yes, then delete all independently of any other thing, OTHERWISE move on to the next layer/group

  Basically, I have a lot of groups and layers here and I want to analyze the layers to leave just the layers that are visible in the final document. Visible merge or flatten the will does not work as I want to keep visible and visible layers. Layers remove hidden does not work. And file/scripts/deleting empty layers does not work because the layers are not empty. They are simply not necessary.

  In collaboration with CS6.

  Thank you

  The other is round, but this should unlock all layers, after that delete hidden layers should work.

• Several items may be in an indesign document?

  I have an indesign document with several articles in it. I did articles using the Articles Panel. How can I add these items to a folio? When I add an article to a folio with folio builder Panel, he added the entire document, even if I used the Articles to specify Panel than, say, pages 2-5 are an article entitled "family issues".  Is an article should be a separate indesign document to be added to a folio?

  On a more general level, I have not seen anything in the DPS literature which explains what is an article, what can/cannot be an article, etc.. I think that would help me. Thanks to anyone who can answer this question.

  Currently, this is an article by document. INDD. (Two INDD if you plan to do dual orientation)  The Panel 'items' is more directed to epub and html export.

  The concept of the "article" (with respect to the Digital Publishing Suite) was much easier to understand when he was earlier called a 'stack' in the draft.  The concept is that each page of your paper stacked on top of eachother to form a single article.  You article InDesign file contains all of the pages of this particle 'stack '.

  Think of it in terms of a magazine.  Each "article" has its own section in the viewer and therefore to have the InDesign document (including all pages of this particular article).  All of these different items or InDesign documents come together to make a "folio" or issue of your magazine.

  My suggestion would be to familiarize yourself with the workflow to understand what is and is not supported in Indesign.  Some great videos are on the page "getting started with the DPS.
