Variable data merging with images and Excel

I have a question about the installation of variable data files. I'll put up an excel file for a small number of badges of identity (like 50). The headers are all set up as variable data of regular text (first, last, agency, etc.), but on the last section the variable information is a small graphic (circle, square, triangle, etc...) How you configure in excel to recognize that this is a graph when you import into Indesign using the data merge feature.

Is it still possible? I have attached the worksheet so that you can better see what I'm talking about.

For the graphical content, add the @ symbol at the beginning of the name of the field in the header and put the path to the image in the cell of each record.

I think it is covered in the help topic well enough, then you might want to go back and read it.

  • Create Adobe Muse Widget with images and the external JS file.

    Hello, I want to create widget that include all about 7-8 images and 1 JS file.

    I read the documentation, but I have a few questions.

    Is there any way to import images of widget (no link to them)?

    Y at - it means to import the folder 'images' with pictures on it and this folder to extract to which I have 'say' (for example level even where is the page or file in the folder root of the site)?

    Is there a way to include the JS file?

    In my opinion, that these things are possible, but with Adobe Muse themes.

    How to manipulate the page with the options for the widget?

    For example, in the options, you can choose between 2-3 options and the option to apply to the page.

    I want the option widget that can change 1 variable JS variable will be in the script that is added to the page (not external JS file). I know how to add this script to the page, but I don't know how to handle with the widget options. Here's another example, I have this:

    ...........

    < bodyEndHTML >

    <! [CDATA [< script type = "text/javascript" >]]

    $(function() {})

    var someVar = "somevalue1";

    });

    < /script >]] >

    < / bodyEndHTML >

    < / HTMLWidget >

    I want with option widget to manipulate this variable 'someVar' (its value), between the selected values.

  • Saving as a single .html does not include the full web page (with images and properly formatted) as it did before! What happened here?

    First of all I must emphasize that I keep always up-to-date as soon as a new version of Firefox will appear.

    Now, a few months ago Firefox was able to save complete web pages as a single .htm file (including images and styles). Proof of this is that I have done it then. But now, after a few Firefox updates (sorry, but I can't identify exactly which of them might have been the one that messed up for me), while he was trying to exactly the same thing on the same website it is no longer possible. What happens is that now to choose the option 'Save the Web as HTML' (which I think is that I used to select before) it will not save the images and styles of web page, only the basic text and the home page anchors while he primarily save!

    I still have the old .htm files, I saved before (I can give them to you) and they work again properly on any PC (I tested), so it means that it is not a .htm file using the cache on my PC to render the images links to the file.

    I am aware that I can choose the 'Full page' option, but it creates a folder that I don't want to, so I'd rather have the old option to export the web page in a unique and properly shaped file that includes images!

    Thanks in advance!

    I am creating a screen in a course which is a graph (jpeg) and in the graph, there is 4 areas that are false.  I want to learners to find out all the four questions by clicking on each of them.  When they click on each of them, will receive an image with textual comments (jpeg) and they will also hear a short audio clip.  When the audio is finished, the image should disappear, the learner can then on other possible issues that will work the same way.  There is no notation, there is no restriction to find each number in a specific order, etc.

    I tried to create boxes to click for this, but it does not work... the project never stops for the learner to click on the graph, it just continues and played audio until the learner clicks on anything whatsoever... and never displays text comments (jpeg).

    This makes me wonder how you preview. If you say that you use the type 'Play this slide' preview, that's why. This type of preview is more to simply observe rough (and I don't want to fuck in every sense of the term) calendar. Interactive elements such as click boxes, buttons, and text entry boxes do not work in this type of preview. That's why you see not all comments. (If this is the type of preview you used)

    mon_mac wrote:

    Well, Yes and no. In that sense, Yes, you could configure things so that a click simply allows the playback head visit another slide or whatever. And on the slide that you visit, you have an image, the user sees. Who could act as your comments. You can also configure the click box with a legend of success or failure to the feedback. They click on the click box or the outer and trigger the legend must be revealed. You can use an image of your choice for the legend. And must not contain text.

    Before going further, let's see if everything what I offered this day helps your question.

  • problem with image and pdf files to print

    Hello

    and I have to wait until this file (image or PDF) completely buffered in RAM, and that is problematic for me.

    Help me please.

    Thank you

    Hello Amirafshari,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    We need to know the following information to isolate the problem:

    1. When you print files no PDF, you have the same problem?
    2. What are the specs of your PC?
    3. Where are the files located? Is this an internal or external storage device?

    How can I configure what he shoots only in images of languages that speaks of the person AND in such a way that they align in the Center. (So 3 images in the case of 3 languages, aligned Center, 1 for 1, center aligned)

  • Problem with cfspreadsheet and excel files

    Hello

    I have a request from a client to generate a worksheet excel from a query. I have the query expel the fields and I can generate the Excel without a hitch. The problem comes when the customer takes excel file and then tries to handle it. The majority of the distress comes from fields that must be marked as currency or dates. I am, with a few combat capable of generating a 'real' date field Before this Excel was not correctly sort dates.

    I was able to call an excel formula using this:

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellFormula (, "DATEVALUE (#Chr (34) #Replacement_ETD ##Chr (34) #)", therow, 9) >

    Date value Force Excel to recognize him as a real date field. However, this fails when this file is manipulated by excel. The next problem is the currency field. I can't get excel to recognize it as a currency. It's always personal. When it is set, the SUM function will not work in excel. You can add the fields individually as A1 + B1 + C1 = TOTAL. This will not help when there are 200 lines.

    I was able to get a suggestion from an other CF developer who has had a similar situation. He generated the first with the appropriate items excel file and set the columns to their fields such as date and currency, etc.

    The next step would be to fill the rank by rank, and they must be properly formatted.

    Code:

    ("< cfset expandPath("./reports/arrivals.xlsx = filename ") >

    < cfspreadsheet action = "read" src = "#filename #" name = "s" >

    < cfset therow = 0 >

    < cfoutput query = "myExcel" StartRowOptional = "1" >

    < cfset therow = myExcel.currentrow + 1 >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (holders, s, therow, 1) >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (s, Section, therow, 2) >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (s, Position_Number, therow, 3) >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (s, Position_Title, therow, 4) >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (s, Incumbent_Emplyment_Type, therow, 5) >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (s, Incumbent_ETD, therow, 6) >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (s, Tour_Comments, therow, 7) >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (s, replacement, therow, 8) >

    < cfset SpreadsheetSetCellValue (s, Replacement_ETA, therow, 9) >

    < / cfoutput >

    < name cfheader = "content-disposition" value = "attachment; filename = Departures_ (#DateFormat (now (), 'MMDDYY') #) .xls ">"

    < cfcontent type = "application/msexcel" variable = "#spreadsheetReadBinary (s)" # "reset ="true">"

    The data in the cells has already been formatted properly. When this file is generated and sent to the user columns are not formatted as expected.

    Does anyone know if this method will work or have a better suggestion on CF getting to generate a suitable date and currency field to Excel for acknowledge?

    Adobe ColdFusion running on RHEL 5 v10

    Thank you

    For some reason, you need to format it twice - once before the data is inserted and one after.

    This is especially true if you have data values that are integers.  These, even if you format cell advance to be 'Text', always align to the right, as do the integers.  However, if you reapply the formatting after inserting the data, then it must be formatted correctly.

    HTH,

    ^_^

    PS. Thank YOU for taking the time to code for spreadsheetsetcellvalue (CF)!  Too many people become lazy and chuck just a query to an object tag cfspreadsheet.

  • Problems with images and files.

    After a computer no serious crash a few 6 months or so there are certain details applicable to each image below the icons of my photos turned the black normal script in blue and it is only in a few cases, although it doesn't bother me too much and they can be used, can it be reversed as it is annoying? recently, another point when I load more new photos to a new folder, if some require clock or anticlockwise, I sometimes get this notice of refusal, "cannot rotate this image that this file can be used or opened in another program or file or the file may be read-only." but none of this can be good as I just placed it new pictures in this folder. How to correct these problems?

    Hi J MVP, volunteer

    Thank you very much for the information that informed me of the files compressed, I asked several people about what it could be, but nobody seemed to know, your solution worked a treat, I've heard of file compression but has never had the need to use this method at all for a reason, and it was only caused initially by the computer crash.

    To answer your question above, the source of the images are directly from the camera, a Sony DSLR 550, via a USB cable, they are loaded into the computer, directly in a set end folder, there is reason for the type or the date at which the photos were taken, which is located in the folder "my pictures."

    Then I get to work with it on Photoshop, after I saw what I want to keep or discard, it's when I have a few photos activate in order to view properly, this problem only comes to occur for the first time as yesterday.

    At the same time I could turn several photos at once 3 or 4 + at a time, but it will now allow me only to make an at once it does not account for the rest, too, sometimes in the past when I turned a picture turned it the image on the screen but the icon remained impassive (this can happen sometimes at 3 or 4 in a row) When I then performed the same maneuver to the next image in the sequence, the previous icon also then becomes his main image returns to its initial position, but this happens only rarely.

    Only when I turn it dose it then right and eventually become stable, these odd little blips, I put in place with for some time, but this last problem, the fact that I can now have a soft image to look at, but can not turn as the computer says 'No', I must confess a again becomes quite painful.

    I've never confessed to be a computer buff, I want only to work on the photos for me and my pleasure to families and our web site, but when things like this crop up I admit that I have no idea where to start and so the reason I am looking for assistance.

    Thanks much again for all your help.

    If the batteries are low when the download is triggered.
    An example of how this happens download photos
    immediately after a session of photos long when batteries
    are low. I suggest to use an internal or external
