Accessing or creating thumbnail images of pages to use in navigation

In Bridge I can scroll through the Indesign pages by scrolling through the thumbnail images without opening the Indesign file.
Is it possible to access those thumbnails so that I can use them as page navigation buttons in the Indesign file, or is there another way to create a thumbnail of the pages to reuse as buttons?
thanks

In the thread here I mention an external utility I wrote to extract the JPEG thumbnails that InDesign creates for use in Bridge. If you don't use Windows, google a bit to find a Javascript that does the same. (The difference is, you need to run the JS from within InDesign; my program works without.)
Both the script and the program can only extract what's in the file: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6d51a.h tml
(Similar to the above, a PDF may contain a per-page thumbnail, but I have no idea on how to extract those.)

Creating Thumbnails for web page links to larger images.

I want to create thumbnail images for linking to web page linking to enlargements. I'm using PhotoShop Elements 2.0 on a Dell 2400, XP Home Edition with 512mb RAM and 35gb storage available.
The language I read in help sections doesn't addressed the issue I want help with. I believe it addresses saving thumbnails for Windows and Mac using .tiff or .psd format, not the .jpg or .gif I need. It seemed like there should be a way to change the thumbnail format. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Ted,
You can use the ' Web Photo gallery ' as Jodi suggested for a large
number of images or,
Open your image, click the bar at the top of the displayed image &
reset the size to what you want, then 'File', 'Save for Web' & save as
.jpg or .gif. .jpg gives more options for reducing file size so that
is what I use. Close the image without saving
HTH,

Create Thumbnail Image in JSP

I have JSP a page, were I want to show Thumbnail Image from specified path. The specified path contain one or more file. If anybody have the code or reference for doing this please replay. (For one image will also the helpfule for me)
Thank You

The following is what I use to create thumbnail images. It uses struts, is a bit of a haste work but never failed in creating thousands of thumbnails. I'd be glad if you suggest improvement.

Create Thumbnail Images

Hello, I currently use Automator on Mac OS 10.4 Tiger. I most often use this program to create thumbnail images for easy web upload. However, I plan to upgrade my operating system to Leopard soon, and I was wondering, will my Automator workflows that I've created in Tiger work on the Leopard OS? If not, is their an equivalent automation on Leopard that will output thumbnail images?

without knowing specifics it's hard to say anything definite but leopard automator includes everything Tiger automator had and a whole lot more. the action to create thumbnails is certainly present. you might have to remake the workflow from scratch but it will certainly work.

Creating Thumbnail Images

Anyone know how to create thumbnail images on the fly?

First google:

Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them. Report back with the results.

IDVD won't create thumbnail images in slide shows

In a slide show, the window that used to show the photos in a slide show no longer renders thumbnails in the list or grid views. The status at the top of the window just sits there and spins forever, with the text "Creating thumbnail images...." Anyone know of a workaround?

Neither of these "fixes" has changed anything. I also cleared my cache, ran a diagnostic check, and a virus/trojan scan! Either way, firefox 4 is just not working up to my needs! Should, or can I go back to 3.6?

Import Images into slide show - Creating Thumbnail images -Hang

I am using iDVD 7. I imported my images into a slideshow. The pictures were not in iPhoto but just a folder that I created and edited in Photoshop. Once I import the images, the window shows all the file names as expected but all the Image Thumbnails are blank and the top of the window there is a message "+Creating thumbnail images... (32 remaining)+" with a spinning wheel next to the message. This message stays there forever. The 32 is the number of images in the slideshow. I can do most things in iDVD while this is going on, but I cannot add the audio I want.
What is causing this and can I get it to stop?

To add to this I decided to remove the slideshow and now import the pictures from iPhoto. I can only get ride of the message by closing iDVD down. When I relaunch iDVD the message is gone. When I now import the pictures from iPhoto the same thing happens where it hangs on creating thumbnail images.

OS X Mail High CPU "Creating Thumbnail Images"

I just upgraded to Yosemite and noticed that my computer has become quite sluggish. I noticed that Mail is running the CPU very high. I opened the Activity window in mail and notice that it's continually "Creating Thumbnail Images". Does anyone know what exactly it's doing? Is there any way to limit the amount of CPU it uses?

Hi, I have got some aditional information. I switched off all network connections and was able to remove the email from the outbox. Now I can use Mail again to fetch mail. To my surprise, the email that still resided in the outbox was sent. It was just not removed from the outbox.
I rebuilt all mailboxes, still no change, i. e. same crash when trying to send an email.
Any ideas?

How to create thumbnail images on the fly from JSP or servlet?

Hi all,
Iam new to this forum. I need a solution for the problem iam facing in building my site. Ihave groups and briefcase section in my site. I allow users to upload files and pictures.
When they upload pictures i need to create thumbnail for them on the fly.
Is there any taglibs or java source to do this from JSP or servlets.
It would be very greatful if i can get an early answer.
Please let me know if there is any other forum where i can get better answer, if not here?
thnx.

Here is how you can create dynamic images:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt0821.html#tip2
However, if you want to create gifs/jpegs and save them to the disk it depends from where you want to create the images. It is different if you are creating from another image or just drawing one from scratch etc.. But in the end you will probably need to use one of the imageencoder classes and write the result to the disk with the file io classes.

Creating a default web page and using WEB_API

Hi ,
I want to create a default html page to be displayed in html viewer control.Where I should create this html page and how to
call this in my program.It is mentioned that
'This page can be designed with the SAP web repository.' How to design this page with SAP web repository.
Also it is mentioned that COM_PRDCAT_WEB_API(701) can be reused .Where to find this COM_PRDCAT_WEB_API.Can anyone help me out in this ?

Use Tcode SMW0.
The object COM_PRDCAT_WEB_API which you mentioned is the package, i think its available only in 701 release.
Goto SMW0 , press F8, you can see the SAP web repository objects.

Creating thumbnail images in XE

Hi,
We like to create automaticly thumbnails after immage upload through the enduser like Scott Spendolini mentioned in his webblog.
Unfortunatly Oracle interMedia is necessary to do manipulate the images within the database.
To install interMedia it is also necessary to have JVM intslled on the DB, but this is not possible for the Express Edition.
What I am asking now is, if anybody knows a different method to create compressed thumbnails (not only to define width & heigth in html).
(maybe on filesystem/OS basis).
We upload the images to the #IMAGE# area in XDB with a copy from wwv_flow_file_objects to XDB with dbms_xdb.createResource function which works very nice after setting the priviliges for the workspace owner in XDB.
Afterward we also want to upload a minimized thumbnail of the same image (also in XDB schema).
Thanks for help in Advice
Thomas

Hi, i'd like to know if i can create another database in the Express Edition versionXE license says 1 DB per system.

Help with creating thumbnail images

Hi there
I need some help with a webpage that displays images.
I am capturing an internal xml file ..and want to display:
An Image or images with a width of 130 px and height of 130
px
My problem is that when our users upload the pictures to the
website ..they are not resized ..and they would not know how to use
a program to do this.
Is there a code or way to take the uploaded picture file and
reduce it to a size of 130 x 130 in the existing page?
It currently is displaying the full size image(s) which are
take up 2 screens.
thanks for your time ..Rob

> Is there a code or way to take the uploaded picture file

> size of 130 x 130 in the existing page?
In the HTML you can just give it a width and height of those
values.
However, the full image is still loaded by the browser, so if
the image is
large, it's still going to be a bandwidth hog.
Ideally, you'd resize on the server at time of upload. This
can be done with
various components depending on the particular back-end
server/scripting
language.
