Is it possible to create a script to produce a high res and low res pdf and jpeg from Indesign at the same time

Hi, I'm just wondering if there is a way to automate a long process I have to do to create assets for my job.
I have a single page InDesign 6 file which I have to output three ways:
A low res pdf without bleed or trims
A high res pdf with bleed and trims
A low res jpeg downsized to 2% of original size.
If anyone knows if this is possible I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance

Automation requires creating your own IDML script for output. Scroll down on this page to the section on Scripting resources. The text is a bit confusing. It says InDesign CS5 Scripting resources, but then the paragraph for that section says the PDF files are for CS6. I haven't read through these, I just found them by searching for "indesign automation". It does say in part that is can be used for preparing files for printing, so once you figure it out, it should be a single click option to do all three steps.
You can do them now with the menus you have, assuming you also have Acrobat Pro installed. With any document open, choose File > Adobe PDF Presets, and choose either from the prebuilt defaults, or create your own in the Distiller. However, I don't see a way in the Distiller settings to choose whether or not to include bleed and marks, so I'm not really sure how you'd have them on for one and not the other. As far as JPEG output, that can be chosen under Export. You get a choice to set a resolution and JPEG quality level, but not a size, so the output will be the dimensions of the document.

  • Time Capsule - Can it run as DHCP router, create a wireless network and plug into switch for wired network all at the same time?

    I have a closet with Wired connections from all over the house terminating in it. I also have the internet modem and a switch in this closet. My old setup was a netgear in the closet creating a wireless network and also feeding the Ethernet ports all over the house. In my room, I had an Airport express (a month old) bridging the wifi to make the wifi network larger. The Express was hard wired from the wall and my mac mini was using it's wifi (printer was plugged into other ethernet port). Everything was working great.
    Fast forward to last week. My Netgear died. So, I bought a time capsule. My plan was to move the Express to the closet and have it create the wifi network and also then run cat 5 cord from express to the switch to feed all the wired wall plugs. Reset it and set it up to create the wifi network as well as DCHP NAT. Wireless was running great on it. Then I plugged in the Cat 5 in the second Ethernet Port to the switch. Wifi stopped working and none of the computers would connect using wired connections either. They would see a 'network' but nothing would work. I would unplug the Cat 5 feeding the swtich and the wireless would start working again. Plug the Cat 5 back in and wireless would stop.
    So I thought I would try the Time Capsule in the closet and see if I could get it to work. Pretty much the same thing, except at this point I figured out if I went in and told it NOT to create a wifi network the wired portion worked fine and all the wired computers in the house worked fine. Of course, then I didn't have Wifi.
    I'm not clueless when it comes to networking, but I can NOT figure this out! Can either the Time Capsule or Express Create the wifi network AND also feed the data to the switch for all the wired computers?
    To simplify this is what I want my end result to be. I prefer the Time Capsule to be the wireless connection extender, but if I have to have the Express do it, I'm fine with that.
    1. Express in the closet creating the wifi network as well as feeding the data to the wired connections via my switch.
    2. have the Time capsule in my room at the opposite end of the house plugged into the hard wired connection to extend the wrieless network as well as have wired connections such as my printer and my Mac Mini.
    If I can get #1 to work, I don't think I'll have any problems with #2. Help!

    I have an equally complex setup with a managed switch actually but I have never seen the TC have this kind of issue.
    What I do notice is you have changed the TC from defaults.. you are using a non-default IP range.
    I have run across issues like this where people move things from default.
    I would like you to start over.. factory reset the TC. That will set it back to default router mode.
    Do the min setup on the TC..
    1. Change all names from what you were using. That includes the TC name and wireless name/s
    Make them short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric because that is the correct way to network. Apple default names with spaces and apostrophes are fundamentally bad.
    2. With just the TC plugged into the switch.. and a single computer connected by ethernet. Power cycle the whole network.. this allows the switch to clear all the old MAC address.
    3. Test on the computer just ethernet. Turn the wireless off.
    The computer must use dhcp and must get an ip from the TC.
    It has to get the correct Router.. ie Gateway.. I wish apple could stick with proper network terminology.
    And it must get same address or valid DNS server address/es.
    If it fails.. please plug ethernet directly to the TC.. bypassing the switch.
    You should get the standard IP addressing and internet connection.
    If not please post the screenshot from the Mac of the network preferences showing the ethernet setup.
    I need to see what address it does get. I need you to make sure the ethernet is the TOP of the list. So rearrange the order of network connection. With the airport off it should just go to the top of the list.
    If it appears to be working .. but a browser cannot connect, open a terminal and ping an internet address.
    Ping the actual gateway address the ISP gives you and ping the ISP dns address.

  • Is it possible to create a script that does this?

    Hey there,
    I can work my way around a Mac pretty well, but as for coding, I'm not as good. Hopefully someone will know how to do what I'm looking for:
    I do a lot of school assignments on my computer, and I've recently utilized an online service that allows me to sync up my files on my computer with their servers (like MobileMe, but not). Anyway, this is great and all, but this service is virtually useless if I'm trying to access a Pages publication via my school's computers which run Windows and, consequently, Microsoft Word 2007. However, they ALSO run Adobe Reader. Is it possible to create a script that, every time I save a Pages publication, automatically creates a PDF export of that same file in the directory where I'm working? Also, when I update the Pages file, it'll automatically update the PDF file?

    Saving a script as a Script, an Application or an Application bundle requires the use of the Script Editor as explained in the System (Finder) help.
    step 1:
    open the script in the Script Editor
    step 2:
    compile it clicking the "Compile" button
    step 3:
    Save the script from the "File > Save" menu:
    To save as "script" select the "script" menu item
    To save as "Application" select the "Application" menu item
    To save as _"Application Bundle"_ select the _"Application Bundle"_ menu item
    The files which I post are saved thru the "Text" menu item which attache the extension name ".applescript" telling that it's an _Applescript's text file._
    All these infos are given in resources pointed by my late messages !
    Now are infos which maybe you will not find in the Apple's resources
    I use the text (.applescript" format because it embeds nothing related to my machine.
    To work from the Scripts menu, my best choice is "Script" which appears to be the fastest one.
    "Application" is slower and sometimes gives odd results on MacIntels.
    "Application Bundle" behaves well on every machines but is slower than "Script".

  • I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked.  I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button.  I need the actions script code to make this happen.

    I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time.  I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen.  I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code.  It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
    Thank you in advance
    AP

    It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description.  If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work.  Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

  • Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?
    aa

    I think you are confused with the way cluster is installed. Installing SQL on cluster is a two step process. On first node you create a new SQL cluster and on second node you need "AddNode" action.
    Same edition media has to be used in above two operation.
    you can install two separate instances with one enterprise and one standard.

  • Multiple scripts running at the same time?

    Is there a way to have multiple scripts successfully running at the same time?
    At the moment if I start a second script while the first one is still running, the second one completes successfully but the first one stops. This seems to be because the first one is no longer the active document once the second one opens so can't continue.
    Is there another way to script things like this so that multiple can run independently at the same time? You might ask why I'd want to run two at the same time and not just wait, but i've setup an asp.net web form front end and having problems if two people click the button around the same time.
    I'm guessing this isn't going to be possible and i'm going to have to look for ways of doing this in asp.net instead and somehow queue the requests so you have to wait longer if the script is already running?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    This is correct. The scripting interface to PS is single-threaded so you will need to queue up requests.

  • Bash script: Rotate your wallpaper and SLiM theme at the same time

    EDIT;
    I've decided I should really thank Cerebral for his help with writing this script; this thank you should have been here from the get go.
    After writing:
    #!/usr/bin
    echo "Hello World!"
    I wrote a script to rotate my fluxbox background and SLiM theme at the same time, so I could have a contiuously changing background and still have a smooth transition from SLiM to fluxbox.  (It just looks so much cooler when both have matching backgrounds).  By the time you finish reading it, and configuring your box so it will work, you will probably have decided you could have writtin your own, better script to do the same thing.  But, on the off chance anybody finds use for it, here it is:
    (this should be obvious, but: don't run this script without at least reading the comments)
    #!/bin/bash
    #this is a script to rotate a number of backgrounds
    #to be shared by the fluxbox desktop and SLiM login manager.
    #it is the first meaningful script I've written. It may be
    #freely distributed and used with the understanding that you are
    #using it at your own risk.
    #Before running this script you need to check that your SLiM
    #themes are installed to the path /usr/share/slim/themes, which
    #is the defulat path for installation in Arch. Here are some
    #other things you need to set up:
    #1. create (if you don't have it) the directory /usr/share/wallpapers
    #2. create a wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers called 'dummy' by copying
    #you current wallpaper to that filename
    #3. set your window manager to display the wallpaper 'dummy', this works fine
    #using a style overlay in fluxbox, I haven't tested it with any other window
    #manager, but I don't see why this would cause a problem.
    #4. create a directory /usr/share/slim/themes/current, you can copy one of
    #your slim themes into that directory if you want. (this will prevent you
    #from seeing some error messages the first time you run the script)
    #5. define the names of the themes you want to rotate, in order for this
    #script to work, you must name them "themeNUMBER", where NUMBER is replaced
    #by an integer. Your themes must be numbered consecutively, start with 1
    # that is:
    #theme1 , theme2, theme3, etc. , theme305
    #If you don't number consecutively, this script will not run properly. You
    #must also define the total number of themes as "rotate_number"
    #6. Check if the script runs, if it does, you should change /etc/slim.conf to
    #use the theme "current"
    #7. This theme will now rotate your SLiM theme and wallpaper in such a way as
    #to make them match each other. Note that SLiM will not let you change themes
    #"on the fly", (as of July 6, 2008), so changes will not be apparent unless you
    #restart SLiM. I run the script before I run slim in my etc/rc.local local
    #script, so each time I reboot I get different wallpaper / login background.

    You can't do it out of iDVD.
    If you create a disk image file (.img) out of iDVD you MIGHT be able to do so using Roxio's Toast and the .img file.

  • Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?

    My work involves preparing images for printing lightboxes and window installations.  My clients require to pre-approve the photos before printing.
    I usually save my files as psd but since the files are very large in this format I usually save another copy as a jpg file that has a much smaller file size.  This makes it possible for me to add these to a presentation and and send them to my client.
    Is it possible when saving the psd file to have an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?  Or do I still have to do this manually?

    If you save the document manually as a PSD file in Phtoshop not from within an Action, Script, Plugin or Droplette.  You may be able to write a Photoshop that would do as save as Jpeg,  And you should be able trigger its execution by setting up a Script Save event using the Script event manager.  When You do a manual save  the script should be triggered.  I wrote may be able to for I have never tried to write that script or set up a Script Manager Save event.  I have only use open events.

  • Is it possible to get 2-ch signals from TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time with LabVIEW "7.0"?

    Hi, everyone.
    I've been trying to get the signals from 2-ch of Tektronix TDS2012 oscilloscope at the same time using IVI connection with LabVIEW "7.0"
    I've already searched this developer zone for the answer.
    I've tried the famous example: "IviScope - Acq Dual Wfm Edge Triggered.vi"
    and it gave me the error message like:
    Error -1074110451 occurred at IviScope Initialize With Options.vi
    Possible reason(s):
    Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFA600D) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA600D) The Config Server module is not present on the system.
    I think I've installed all~ the required softwares for IVI. For example, ICP 2.2, IVI engine 2.0.46, and tktds1k2k ivi (instrument driver for tds2012, in fact this one is for LabVIEW "7.1"... :-P)
    TDS2012 and my computer is connected through HPIB(GPIB) and it is shown on the MAX (a GPIB instrument as well as an IVI hardware asset)
    I've tried GPIB connection but it gives me asynchronous signals...
    Is it possible to get 2 signals at the same time with LabVIEW 7.0(not 7.1 or higher) by any means?
    What in the earth is the "Config Server" in this case?
    I don't need to sticking to IVI and any method to achieve my goal will be welcome.
    Could anyone give me the hint for this problem, plz?

    I think your problem is that the instrument specific driver is version 7.1 and you are using the class driver with 7.0. You can create your own 7.0 driver by downloading the LabWindows driver and using the Import CVI Instrument Driver under the Tools>Instrumentation menu.
    Since you don't seem to have a good reason to use IVI, why don't you try the native LabVIEW driver at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9139659CE034080020E748.... I believe you have all of the functions to setup each channel and then when you trigger the scope, both channels will be captured. You would then transfer each waveform separately. The data is always read sequentially but that's not important as long as both channels are triggered at the same time.
