Looking for someone to do paid scripting work

Hey,
I'm in a bit of a bind with InDesign scripting - I've got a huge amount of it to do in very little time. I've hired someone on Elance who claims to know about Extendscript etc to help me, but I am slightly dubious. I thought coming to the Adobe forums might be a good idea, as you guys will probably know what you are talking about!
Is there anyone around here offering scripting services for pay? It's quite an interesting project, automating the production of a certain type of book. I am fairly proficient in scripting myself after having written a script to do a similar thing last year, but simply can't deal with the amount of work I have.
I'm looking for someone who really knows InDesign and scripting inside out and who would be able to advise me on best practice, rather than the current situation where I'm instructing someone fairly unskilled how to do things the way I've just sort of 'worked them out'.
Apologies if this is in the wrong place; I'm pretty desperate!
Thanks,
Dan

There's a lot of very qualified folks here on this forum.
The big question is what's the scope of the project as well as time restrains.
I, for example would not be able to look at any sizeable project for at least a month.
Give some more details on what's involved, and someone will probably be able to help...

  • Looking for someone to script a Day Planner to a specific size and style.

    Hi,
    Looking for someone to script a year long Day Planner in Indesign CC. I've tried one or two scripts available out there but none seem to be able to accomplish what I need.
    I would envisage the rolling requirements.
    2015
    Day per page
    Set to a specific Design Style
    Fully Editable style hierarchy
    Ability to add in pages without kicking anything out
    Include Month with highlighted day on right hand page only
    Add localised public holidays
    Add another list of 'special dates'
    Fit size 148.5mm W x 210mm H (would be great to have it scaleable but not essential)
    All/any help appreciated. Here's a screen shot of the desired result.

    Hi Jarek,
    Thanks for the response!
    The script needs to create the pages in an Indesign Doc.
    One the pages are created we would be adding in custom pages at beginning and at other periodic stages in the document.
    Let me know if there's anything else you need

  • Looking for an email discussion lists script.

    HI! I am looking for a email discussion lists script that
    works on a windows
    platform. I have looked on Google but only found Mailman
    which is good but
    only works on UNIX/Linux. The other I found has to be
    installed via a
    setup.exe which is only good if you own and have direct
    access to your own
    server.
    Does anyone out there know of a email discussion lists script
    in ASP or PHP
    or similar that uses an ms-access or ms-SQL database and
    works on a windows
    platform?

  • Looking for someone on x86_64 to test a snippet of C#

    I'm having trouble getting a piece of C# code to work. It's 100% correct and was found working by two users running x86, however on my x86_64 it doesn't.
    It should display an icon in the notification area ('system tray'). For me it won't show the icon in gnome, but neither in openbox + trayer. The other two x86(!) users tested in on Gnome as well, and did get the icon to show up.
    I'm looking for someone else on x86_64 to test this code, to eliminate (or confirm) that it's a very obscure x86_64 bug. Make sure you're fully synched up - that is Mono 1.9.1, with (preferably) Gnome 2.22.3 (but if it won't work on KDE/Xfce/anything else that pretty much identifies the problem as well).
    You can find the 20-line snippet at http://pastebin.com/m4ebdcba6 (save as Test.cs)
    Compiling is easy, `mcs -r:System.Drawing,System.Windows.Forms Test.cs` should do the trick, followed by `mono Test.exe`. You will get a messagebox, and at that time it *should* display the icon.
    Thanks.

    I have Arch64 on Intel Core2Duo, with [testing] repository enabled.
    I use KDE 3.5.9. I could try it with KDE 4-svn later as well
    Mono version: extra/mono-1.9.1-1
    I tried that file and when I disable autohiding of my panel, it works correctly:
    http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/5647/screen1lf1.png
    If I hide the panel manually (by using the hide button on the right), and I show it again, the icon disappears, but the space is still occupied:
    http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/473/screen3on2.png
    When I have auto-hiding disabled, it appears fine (just like in the first picture), but when the panel hides and appears again I get black rectangle:
    http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/3091/screen2ye7.png
    The first time I tried it, the rectangle was white instead

    Oh, I'm not looking for free-lance work at all.  Some people come here with the expectation of freeloading in a forum populated by professionals, so it's good to hear you have no such expectations.

  • I'm looking for someone to render (export) a final cut X project for me.

    I'm looking for someone to render (export) a final cut X project for me. I am running FCX on my MB air & it works surprisingly well for small projects. However, I have a 4 minute video that is outside of the limits of my machine. I am assuming there is a way to dropfile the project & have someone else export it for me & dropfile it back to me as a HD video I can post on Vimeo. I am willing to pay for this service.

    I may not be doing this correctly, I created the new library & when I tried to copy the the clips it said this:
    You are editing compound clips or multicam clips between libraries.
    Final Cut Pro will copy files and create new parent clips in the library "Movies".
    The new clips will be independent of the original parent clips.
    Media stored in external folders will be linked to but not copied.

  • Looking for a glossary split up script

    Hello,
    I'm a novice to AppleScript and I'm looking for a script that will be useful for me as a translator: a script to split up a glossary with source-side alternatives, separated by semicolons. As a matter of fact I'm not sure whether this is something that can easily be done with AppleScript or better should be handled with Perl or another solution.
    This is how the glossary looks (TAB stands for the tabulator character):
    Ethanol;Ethylalkohol;Äthanol;Äthylalkohol;Weingeist;Spiritus;Sprit;Alkohol;Hydro xyethanTABEthanol;ethyl alcohol;pure alcohol;beverage alcohol;drinking alcohol;CH3CH2OH;C2H5OH;C2H6O
    Quarz;Tiefquarz;α-QuarzTABSiO2;quartz;citrine;rose quartz;smoky quartz;milk quartz;milky quartz
    And this is how this UTF-8 text file should be rewritten:
    Ethanol TAB Ethanol;ethyl alcohol;pure alcohol;beverage alcohol;drinking alcohol;CH3CH2OH;C2H5OH;C2H6O
    Ethylalkohol TAB Ethanol;ethyl alcohol;pure alcohol;beverage alcohol;drinking alcohol;CH3CH2OH;C2H5OH;C2H6O
    etc.
    Quarz TAB SiO2;quartz;citrine;rose quartz;smoky quartz;milk quartz;milky quartz
    Tiefquarz TAB SiO2;quartz;citrine;rose quartz;smoky quartz;milk quartz;milky quartz
    α-Quarz TAB SiO2;quartz;citrine;rose quartz;smoky quartz;milk quartz;milky quartz
    Thank you for any suggestions!
    Hans

    Hello Mark,
    The script works beautifully. I now have:
    α-Quarz TAB SiO2;quartz;citrine;rose quartz;smoky quartz;milk quartz;milky quartz
    If I want to split up the right side of the tab too, I could of course use a spreadsheet program and swap the columns. But that is a little clumsy, especially with large glossaries (500,000+ lines).
    Would it be possible that you provide a script for 'the right side' too?
    So that I'd get:
    α-Quarz TAB SiO2
    α-Quarz TAB quartz
    α-Quarz TAB citrine
    α-Quarz TAB rose
    etc.
    Many thanks in advance!

    I have to say this is the hardest thing to diagnose that I have come up against over the past 10 years! Completely out of ideas.
    If this was just the Intuos3 with the mouse on my G5 then I would just say it is a bad mouse switch, but when a different mouse on two different tablets (Intuos 2 and Intuos3) are both exhibiting the same behavior on two different computers (a G4 Laptop and a G5 Tower) - then something is wrong.
    The only other thing I have done to both computers recently is I installed Adobe CS3. Have any of you that have responded also installed CS3?
    This is not a Wacom Driver issue, because if you plug in a tablet without the Wacom Driver installed, the mouse should still work like a standard mouse and I am having trouble even then. Even during a restart of the computer as soon as the Wacom tablet blue light comes on - even before the desktop appears, if I hold down the mouse button the tablet will irratically flicker between blue (receiving power from USB) to green (mouse button engaged)? (Again it does not do this with the Pen - it always works fine - just any Wacom mouse).
    If it were a USB power issue the tablet light would go off and on, but it doesn't - one of the LEDs is always lit. If it were a tablet grid issue, the Pen would also display the same symptoms - it doesn't. It acts like the mouse does not have enough "consistent power" output to keep the grid engaged when activated which would be easily explained by a bad mouse switch or for sure if the mouse had a bad battery, but I don't think the mouse has a battery does it? And none of this explains why I am getting this on two tablets with two mice (unless the mouse actually does have a battery and both are bad)?
    Anyway I am 95% sure this is a communication problem between the mouse and the tablet - not the tablet and the computer and Driver is not in the equation.
    Really stumped.

  • Looking for someone to write custom Premiere plug-in

    Hello
    I am looking to find a programmer with a working knowledge of writing  plug-ins for Premiere to write a custom plug-in for Premiere CS5.
    The plug-in is extremely simple. It will be a Video Effect that can be  applied to a clip on the timeline. It has one control that slides the  top half of the clip to the left and the bottom half of the clip to the  right; by a user defined number of pixels.  However the plug-in then  needs some kind of global control that allows the user to change the  functionality of ALL instances of the effect in the current sequence -  so at a command they slide the ENTIRE image left or right, and not just  the top/bottom half.  This could even be implemented by writing 3  plug-ins and shutting down Premiere, substituting the plug-in file on  disk and re-starting it.
    The reason we want this is that it will enable us to handle changing the depth of stereoscopic 3D clips in a Cineform workflow.
    This is a paying job and anyone interested should email me at [email protected] I can supply more detailed information about the functionality if needed.

    I am currently living in Indonesia and I do not have 24/7 access to WIFI so I purchased a Skype Number and then have all my calls forwarded to my Indonesian cell phone, so that I am able to communicate with family and friends back home in America. The problem is we talk a lot and it is costing me too much money, so I am looking for a subscription or monthly plan. I have seen with some subscriptions/plans I can choose a country of my choice to call with no limit, but does that apply to people from that country calling me on my Skype number???

  • Looking for someone to make a program for my mobile phone

    OK, I am looking for a programmer, who could make me a program for my mobile.
    I have a sony ericsson w300i
    The program needs to, when opened, change all bluetooth devices on the list, to always allow connections. So all the devices on that list are set to always allow and not always ask.
    If this is not possible to do, please tell me, or if you could make this program for me, tell me too.
    The program must be fast and silent. I need it to just work when opened, without a message coming up or anything, this will allow me to quickly and easily proceed with my business
    The reason I need this program, is because I have I REALLY long list of devices, and it really does take a long time to change the settings to allow connection on all of them. (I need to allow connections for the specific programs I test and use, on my PC)
    You can access the list (on sony ericsson) by going to: menu -> settings -> connectivity -> bluetooth -> my devices.
    I might be willing to pay, if the program works well!

    {color:#000080}@DrClap
    j2me can't mess around with the security that is built into the bluetooth protocol.
    @OP
    Bluetooth pairing cannot be overridden nor done programmatically. Ability to connect to another device would always depend on the owner of that device having maintained the BT address of your device in the list of known devices.
    Bluetooth connection can be done through a program, but there is nothing to be gained from that unless the program needs the BT connection to transfer data between devices, as the connection is in use as long as the program holds on to it, and disconnected when the program exits (if not before).
