Any script for PowerMath Equation (InDesign CS4)

Hi,
All, I'm new to Indesign Scripting, and I'm hoping someone can help me.
Is that possible any type of script (Apple/Java) for edit/update Poermath Eqation in Indesign CS4.
In my Knowledge (not found) Powermath Editor have no Dictionary. Is that possible we make script for Powermath Editor.
Thanks for answering.
Regards

You can try it like this. (Tested on Mac OSX)
// export indesign doc to idml
// tested on Mac OSX
// this code is Public Domain
// check if the doc is saved
var doc = app.activeDocument;
if (!doc.saved) {
doc.save();// if not save it
// take the .indd's name and make a .idml from it
var aName = doc.name;// get the name
var newName = aName.replace("indd", "idml");// replace the indd to idml
// crate a new FIle Object
var theFile = File(File(doc.filePath).fsName + "/" + newName);
// export
doc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, theFile, false);
// done

Fix for very slow InDesign CS4 on PC

Hi, everyone- I don't know much about computers or software so apologies if I don't make sense! I installed my InDesign CS4 on my PC (which has a very fast processor, loads of RAM, etc) and accepted all the standard recommended settings (ie: I've changed nothing from what the standard installation settings are) but it's running so slowly. It takes ages for files to open, even ones that are only a few megs in size. It even takes ages for InDesign to open on it's own. And it takes around 5 minutes for it to shut down too, even if I've made no changes to the file which is an indesign document of about 3 megs in size.
A friend said that I should consider getting "ZX81" software as this is better quality than Adobe's products, but I'm not sure what he means. Any suggestions would be really grateful.

I think your friend is pulling your leg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX81
There are quite a few things that can affect performance. I'd start with a spyware scan, then look through this forum for other suggestions.

Any scripts for producing registration scripts for concurrent pgms?

Hi all
After I register concurrent executable, program, any custom values-sets, parameters, and adding to request group for any type of concurrent program(ex:report/host/plsql procedure) using application developer form screens, does any one have script that I can run to get the registration script out of oracle seeded tables for any given concurrent program.?
Any useful links also will be helpful.
I am looking for any script that should be produced, so that I can run the script next time to register the same insted of going through the application developer forms screens again and again. The script should register executable, program, parameters, request group, value-sets etc.,
I may be able to register the script into apps as concurrent program.
Thanks
RRB.

How to script for resize CS3 indesign

Hi there,
I've been trying to search the internet for a script that I can use in the following situation.
I already use this script to center the content:
myObj = app.selection[0];
myObj.fit(FitOptions.centerContent);
the next step I would like to do...after inserting a pdf file within a rectangle frame (that being the "image box"). I would like to, after using the above script, resize the contents of the rectangle frame to whatever percentage for both X and Y (scale X Percentage, as well as Y, both different values).
Any help would be much appreciated. Also, the indd files are all named different, as well as the pdf's being inserted.

Here's a very basic sample script to get you started:
if (app.documents.length == 0) exit();
if (app.selection.length == 0) exit();
var sel = app.selection[0];
if (sel.constructor.name != "Rectangle") exit();
var pdfFile = File.openDialog("Choose a PDF File");
if (pdfFile == null) exit();
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pdfCrop = PDFCrop.cropMedia; // General > Options > Crop to
var pdfPage = sel.place(File(pdfFile))[0];
with (pdfPage) {
absoluteHorizontalScale = 40; // Horizontal Scale
absoluteVerticalScale = 60; // Vertical Scale
sel.fit(FitOptions.centerContent);
It inserts the 1st page of the selected PDF file. If you want to insert specific pages, use app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber property.

Need Help Creating A Script For Labeling Finder Files from Indesign

Trying to figure out a way to have a script run in InDesign CS4 that will label a text file RED after it's been imported into InDesign.
We import numerous text files into an InDesign template. Since there are several text files in the same folder, we need to somehow "mark off" that we've imported that file and move to the next one to import. I have created an Automator "service" with a keyboard shortcut to label the file Red in the finder but it would be great if we could have this happen automatically after we import into InDesign.
If we import the wrong text file by accident and it gets missed in proofing, it costs us a lot of money with the printer.
Thanks for any ideas.
Jim

You know, these guys are absolutely right in their assessment that this is a good place for event listeners. You would need three scripts though.
Something like...
Label Placed Files Red.scpt
--Put this in a folder called IDScripts in your Documents folder
main(evt)
on main(myEvent)
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set placedFilePath to full name of myEvent
set placedFilePath to placedFilePath as alias
end tell
tell application "Finder"
--This turns the file color red
set label index of placedFilePath to 2
end tell
end main
And these two are in your InDesign scripts folder...
Start Placed File Finder Labelling.scpt
--Installs the afterImport event listener for the Label Placed Files Red script.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set myHandler to path to documents folder
set myScriptName to "Label Placed Files Red.scpt"
set myHandler to "" & myHandler & "IDScripts:" & myScriptName
try
set myHandler to myHandler as alias
make event listener with properties {event type:"afterImport", handler:myHandler, captures:true}
display dialog "Placed File Labelling: ON" buttons "OK" default button 1
on error
display dialog "ERROR: Couldn't start handler!" & return & return & "Make sure the \"" & myScriptName & "\" script in a folder called \"IDScripts\" inside your Documents folder and try again" buttons "OK" default button 1
end try
end tell
Stop Placed File Finder Labelling.scpt
--Removes the afterImport event listener for the Label Placed Files Red script.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set myHandler to path to documents folder
set myScriptName to "Label Placed Files Red.scpt"
set myHandler to "" & myHandler & "IDScripts:" & myScriptName
set myHandler to myHandler as alias
set myResult to remove event listener event type "afterImport" handler myHandler with captures
if (myResult is false) then
display dialog "ERROR: Couldn't remove handler! Are you sure it is active?" & return & return & "If so, please quit and relaunch InDesign to get rid of it." buttons "OK" default button 1
else
display dialog "Placed File Labelling: OFF" buttons "OK" default button 1
end if
end tell

Indesign CS4 and Indesign CS5 on new imac TOGETHER!

Hi,
I am purchasing a brand new imac (27in., quad core i5) which comes with the Apple Snow Leopard OS.
I am also purchasing the CS5 master collection.
A company that I freelance for is still using CS4 and wants me to create print layouts for them with indesign CS4 (they don't trust the .inx route).
Will I be able to run the entire CS5 master collection AND just indesign CS4 on my new imac?
Are there any issues or difficulties that I should be aware of?
Thanks!!!

Yes, you will be able to, but make sure you install CS4 first, get that going how you want it, (i.e. at least make sure it's working!) and then install CS5. If you ever have to uninstall and reinstall CS4 you're in for a bit of fun unfortunately, the only clean way to do it would be to uninstall the whole Master collection first... Having said that heaps of people do exactly what you're describing with no problems.
On thing to be aware of is that once you have installed CS5 all your CS4 Indesign files will automatically open in CS5 not CS4. You will not be warned about this until you have worked on it (Murphys law states that this will be for a long time) and go to save, upon which it will ask you for a new save location. The icons are slightly different so you could rely on that to alert you, and just use File > Open from CS4 or drag the files into CS4, or you could look at Soxy, which is a far more elegant solution, but IMHO is still not perfect, although apparently it's better on a Mac than on Windows.

Your InDesign CS4 License key here

I received the following email. Looked suspicious, but LiveChat couldn't confirm this. The advisor actually asked me to open the Zip file! Unbelievable, but true. When I suggested I would not, he asked for my email address to get back to me. No answer yet. Anyone else received the same email? This is what it said:

I just received this email, too. I opened the zip file (that should be okay, as long as you don't click any .exe or other potentially dangerous files inside it! and as long as you know it's actually a .zip file, and not a disguised .exe or something), and everything was 0k except an .exe file. Needless to say, I'm deleting it.
I wonder if it's coincidence that I recently did a trial of InDesign? That's what raised my eyebrow too.
God, I hate spammers!

Is Indesign CS4 compatible with Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2?

We are a small business and have been working in the CS2 suite forever. We had someone do some work for us in Indesign CS4 and are looking to upgrade to that version so we can work with these files as changes happen. If we upgrade to Indesign CS4 will it still be compatible with the rest of my CS2 programs (Illustrator and Photoshop). Placing files and such. Thanks in advance, I know I am way behind here but it is what is cost effective for now.

Adobe only sells InDesign CC (by subscription) or InDesign CS6. You might find boxed legal copies of CS5 or 5.5 from a vendor like Amazon.
You should be very wary of buying older Adobe software on the Internet or eBay. Many copies don't have a legal license and may cause you problems in the future. Caveat emptor.

Apple script for QT

In FCP you can scrub though a video in the viewer by 1 second intervals by holding shift + arrow key (left=back, right=forward). I really like this shortcut.
Anyone have any script for QT to make it do the same thing?
Apple should add it on the next version. It will be super helpful and better integrated with FCP.
Blake

Yes, but in FCP when you hit shift+arrow every time you hit the arrow it scrubs either 1 second forward or 1 backward. This is very helpful if I know I want a clip to start at and exact point and go for exactly 5 (6,9,25) seconds. I have to do this a lot in my work. In QuickTime it just moves you frame by frame, which is perfect for certain situations but I would really like to be able to do what I can do in FCP also.

Test Script for Billing

Hello Experts,
I would like create test script for Billing.Since i have no clue about test script coz in my previous organization we have not made any script for testing.Now i would like to create testing for Billing.
Could you all explain me what are the pre - requisites for testing only for Billing.
What are the different ways for testing to perform since i have never worked on testing on documentations.
Your reply would appreciate.
Thanks
Shri...

Test script is nothing but unit testing through which you list down the steps that are needed to execute a test case and record the results.
In your case, since you wanted a test script for billing, first you need to identify the different types of billing documents configured in production client. For each and every billing document type, you need to create a test document and record in the following format
Test Scenario No.
Scenario:::Billing
No.::TCode:::Description:::Input Data:::Output Data:::Remarks (OK/Error)
We call this process as ASAP Methodology. The prescribed format you can get in service market place.
thanks

Is there any script to archive the HFM logs?

Currently, we are manually archiving the HFM logs from the servers. Is there any automated way (i.e. any script for this process)?

Please confirm what log you are talking about :
- HsvEventLog.log
- HFM Application specific Task Audit log stored in HFM database? (<APP_NAME>TASKAUDIT)
- HFM Error Log stored in HFM database? (HFM_ERRORLOG)
- Windows event logs referring to Hyperion/hfm?
For the database tables, you could create SQL (or oracle) jobs to copy the data to a different table, or export it somewhere.
For the file(s) such as HsvEventLog.log file, you could create a windows scheduled task or cron job on unix to move the files somewhere.
For the Windows event log, I believe you could create a job to export log data, but I've never bothered with this log since most of the info you will find here is also in the error log from HFM.

InDesign CS4 launches with missing workspaces, keyboard shortcut sets, etc

Due to the mixture of multiple issues in this thread:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6c639/
I'm starting this as a new topic to focus on the cases where InDesign CS4 users are able to launch and use the product, but are missing resources such as the following types of presets: Workspaces, Keyboard Shortcut Sets, and Swatch Libraries.
All reports of this issue appear to be related to user permissions. For these resources to to be accessed you must be running InDesign CS4 with an account that has read/write access to the following folder, including it's subfolders and all of their content:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Presets
If you have a setup where you are running into problems getting resources from this folder to appear in InDesign CS4, and you believe your user account has read/write permissions to all of it's contents, please let me know as I'd like to work with you to find a solution.

The complete fix from start to finish for my problem (InDesign CS4 launching without toolbars or keyboard shortcuts when logged on without Administrator priviliges) is below. It's actually quite simple once you know how... The problem is just getting all of the information in the same place. Hopefully it will help others having the same problem.
1.        Install CS4 from the 2 installation CDs. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish.
2.        Log on with an Administrator account:
a.        Navigate to “C:\Program Files\Adobe\”.
b.        Right-click on the folder named “Adobe InDesign CS4”
c.        Click Properties
d.        Click on the Security tab
e.        Change permissions for Users to Full Control
f.         Click on the Advanced button and ensure that there is a check in both of the boxes (inherit and replace permissions).
g.        Click Apply to reflow the permissions
h.        Click OK twice.
3.        Navigate to the following locations and rename each of the EN_UK folders to EN_US:
a.        C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Presets\InDesign Workspaces\
b.        C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Presets\Page Sizes\
c.        C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Presets\Start Page\
d.        C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Presets\InDesign Shortcut Sets\
4.        With a user account, launch Adobe InDesign CS4 and immediately hold down Shift, Control and Alt together. Click Yes to delete the InDesign Preference files.

Script for soft kinsoku override in InDesign CS4?

I have a javascript for the soft kinsoku override for IDCS5.5 but not for ID4. Can someone please post the .jsx? Thanks!

I've should have been more specific...I've imported text from Word to InDesign CS4. I didn't realize the paragraph style had the Kinsoku: Soft kinsoku attached to it until I'd already formatted much of the 400 page book (there's a plus sign next to my TXT paragraph style because of this). I have character styling within the paragraphs and don't want to option click the style to remove the Kinsoku. Isn't there a java script available that I can run on the whole InDesign CS4 document that will clear this out. I found one online for InDesign CS5 but not for CS4. I do not know how to write scripts. Thanks!
