Book preflight with InDesign CC Server

Hi,
I'm trying to preflight a book using InDesign Server CC. Preflight seems to be done (takes somes seconds) but no pdf report is generated.
Same code works perfectly on InDesign CC Desktop.
Even tested to first write 'Coucou' to the file (just to check the path is correct and not write-protected). When I open the file, found 'Coucou'.
Code:
function fnPreflightBook(pLog, pIDBook, pstrPdfReportFileName)
    var preflightProfile = app.preflightProfiles.firstItem();
    pLog.addMsg("Execution controle en amont <" + preflightProfile.name + ">");
    var f=new File("c:\\jtripoz\\jako.pdf");
    $.writeln(f.exists);
    f.open("w");
    f.write("Coucou");
    f.close();
    $.writeln(f.exists);
    try
        // False = DO NOT open automatically the report after creation
        pIDBook.preflight(f);           
    catch(ex)
        pLog.addError("Erreur lors du controle en amont: " +ex.message);
        return LOG_RETURN_ERROR;               
    pLog.addMsg("Controle en amont OK");
    return LOG_RETURN_OK;
And log :
-- INFO: Mardi, Décembre 30 2014 11:14:47 - Controle en amont OK
-- INFO: Mardi, Décembre 30 2014 11:14:47 - Export PDF C:\jtripoz\FISC-6-2014\jako.pdf(Profil: PDFACI_Jouve_colibri_UAT)
-- INFO: Mardi, Décembre 30 2014 11:14:55 - Fermeture du fichier  /c/jtripoz/FISC-6-2014/jako.log
Any idea ?
TIA,
J.

I've moved this over to InDesign Scripting because I think you are more likely to find Server users here who can help.

  • How to create a book (Diplomawork) with InDesign

    Hi all
    I will finish a very important diploma at the end of October. I am wondering how I can create a 'book' with InDesign?
    It should just be like a normal book with Summary, Glossary, and so on. If this is possible with InDesign, how can I do that?
    Will I first need to finish the document with word and then 'just copy paste' or is it possible to write it in InDesign with a dynamic
    summary and all that?
    Thanks for your appreciated feedback,
    Regards
    Fabrice

    Dear DerekC1000
    totally agree with you I know that it is a fantastic application. I'm IT and I know Dreamweaver and Fireworks from the past. Great software. But in oder to deep my knowledge I would like to start with e.g. a good think just like my Deplomawork.
    At the end is must lust like this and I'm sure that InDesign ist just right for that. I'm also sure that for the final printing I must take care of 100drets of things regarding the formatting or the documents. And here my quistions start. At the end it should look just similar to something like that (fotos below).
    Could you guide me a little?
    Cheers

  • Connecting Via COM with Indesign CC Server

    Hi
    We are currently using Adobe CS5 Server - and connecting to it VIA COM.
    We are looking to upgrade to Indesign CC Server - but we want to know if we can still connect to it via COM ?
    Best Regards
    Martin

    Yes, Adobe InDesign CC Server still supports the COM interface, and it is hard to imagine they would change this. If you download and install the trial, you can test it for yourself... looking at page 24 of the "Intro to InDesign CC Server" document that comes with the install, they have all the same language and no indication of any changes related to the COM interface.

  • Address book sync with 10.7.3 server - problem

    I have an 10.7.3 server to that I have 4 Macs, 2 iPhones and 1 iPad connected.
    I have enabeld Address book and iCal on the server, this works (after much headache). It works great for all devices except one of the Macs.
    It has recently been updated to 10.7.3 and it refuses with no apperent reason to sync against the servers address book.
    iCal works fine.
    No matter what account I use the address book never syncs, orc teh activity spinner starts at the given time.
    Spins for a while and the goes away.
    Anyone has any clues?
    The logs on the server doesnt have any kind of suggestion what could be wrong.

    Have you tried rebuilding the accounts in SystemPrefs>Mail, Contacts and Calendars?
    Are the machines bound to the directory?
    Try setting it up in a fresh account on the broken Mac.
    Try setting it up on a different Mac.
    Hope this helps,

  • Tagging TextFrames With InDesign Server - not showign in desktop?

    Hi all,
    Ive come across a weird issue with marking up text frames with InDesign Server (CS3) whilst processing xml rules during an xml import.
    I run the following code on desktop it works fine. When run on server, it works apart from the frames will not highlight when "Show Tagged Frames" is selected.
    (code cut for brevity)..
    //..open a new doc, import the xml file, process the rule set.
    function AddTextFrame(element)
    this.name = "AddTextFrame";
    this.xpath = "//textFrame";
    this.apply = function(element, myRuleProcessor)
    with(element)
    var frame = page.textFrames.add();
    //...frame geometry code goes here...
    markup(frame);
    As Ive stated, the code is functionally fine on desktop and server, but the tagged frames will not highlight when the document is created on server?
    Ive tried numerous work arounds (placeIntoFrame etc) but to no avail.
    Any ideas, is this a known/expected behaviour?
    Cheers, Scott

    After much local experimentation and iteration with Adobe tech support, we have a fix for Problem nr. 1: cannot define the port that works in our environment (IDS CS4 running as a service, Windows 2008 Server).
    Add this parameter to your server startup command line for each instance of InDesign Server you're running:
    -ORBendPoint giop:tcp:<serverIP>:<portNumber>
    where
    <serverIP> is the static IP of the server that is running IDS. Note: The OmniOrb docs imply that you can use the server's domain name here, but that didn't work for us. 127.0.0.1 also did not work. The IP number does work. This might help your Problem nr. 2: wrong IP address in the application IOR if you set it to the IP you want to listen on, but we have no experience with that.
    <portNumber> is the port you want IDS (via OmniOrb) to listen on. If you're running multiple instances as we are, each instance should have its own unique port number.
    I completely agree that, as an enterprise product, IDS's default behavior of boldly going where no one has gone before in your port space at each restart is not the way to play nice in a firewalled, enterprise environment. This should be documented in Adobe's Introduction to InDesign Server in the command line parameter discussions, it would have saved us a lot of time

    There is no problem if I use Internet Explorer.
    My wife uses Yahoo mail and I just use Firefox.
    Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem. I also have the same problem on other web sites, for example when opening a few of the description pages on e-Bay. It appears to be inconsistent as if there is some sort of timing issue as on a few odd occasions I have managed to open Yahoo.
    This started about 3 weeks ago when I was running 3.6.21 and the problem persists after I updated to 3.6.22.
    I am concerned at the lack of response from Mozilla/Firefox as this seems to be a well established problem with several hundred problems reported - but no solution.
    Perhaps the easiest solution is for the users to turn our backs on Firefox and use Opera or Google Chrome instead.

  • How to digitize a physical book (scanned pfd file) to a kindle format with Indesign? pages are 8x11.

    How to digitize a physical book (scanned pfd file) to a kindle format with Indesign? pages are 8x11.
    I have all scanned pages, but the kindle format offered on the Indesign options is bigger. What should I do? Do I start a book from scratch with the scanned pictures or do I leave the pages with the white space on them with the kindle option of Indesign.

    Hi barbaraegarza,
    For your situation, you could try using alternatives like PDF4Kindle, Calibre, or Papercrop.  But based on what I've read and my quick experiment, depending on the complexity of  your PDF, it may be more effort than it's worth to try to convert a PDF into a legible Kindle, ePub, or any other e-reader file.
    I did a quick test on Calibre with a 16-page PDF that contained multiple columns and images.  The results were illegible!  It ran the lines from each column together, making the text difficult to comprehend.  Calibre explains why PDFs are difficult to convert -- Ebook Conversion — calibre User Manual.  I have not tried the other two applications that I suggested above, but I would assume that the results would be very similar.
    I don't know what kind of results you got when you converted it in InDesign, but if your first test turned out fine and it was just the size of the file that you are concerned about, you could use Acrobat to reduce your PDF's file size and convert it to the Kindle format in InDesign again.
    Hope this helps.  Good luck!

  • Problem with indesign & acrobat cannot saved files on server : file already open-

    About the problem of Christina
    It's the same for us with Indesign and also with Acrobat. The problem comes from Adobe. They do not understand that we work on server. They tHink that we must work in local and after save files on server. That's totally crazy when you are saverall to work on the same file at different time of the day. How could you know that you work on the right file?
    Please, ADOBE, could you solved this problem?

    You need Adobe Drive, which helps to connect with DAM systems. AFAIK, Adobe does not supply DAM systems though.
    More about it, here: http://www.adobe.com/es/products/adobedrive.html

  • Will Adobe indesign cs6 books work with the adobe indesign creative cloud version?

    Will Adobe indesign cs6 books work with the adobe indesign creative cloud version?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think, this question is a very good one.
    If I have a *.indb document created in CS6, populated with InDesign documents from CS6, what to do, if I want to migrate my workflow to the latest version of InDesign CC-2014?
    Short answer (avoiding trouble and headaches):
    1. Convert all your InDesign documents from CS6 to CC-2014 (*)
    2. Use NEW document file names for all your CC-2014 InDesign file types: *indd, *indt, *indl
    3. Build your *indb documents for CC-2014 anew.
    4. Use NEW document file names for CC-2014 InDesign file type: *indb
    But isn't that a tedious task to do?
    Yes. But fortunately there are some scripts around helping you with the conversion process.
    See Peter Kahrel's website. Especially:
    Free script Batch convert/export InDesign documents | Peter Kahrel
    There are others as well…
    Uwe
    *Before migration of the workflow batch export all InDesign CS6 documents to IDML and PDF.

  • I have a mac book pro with snow leppard, I tried to get update to flip4mac but I get a message saying unable to contact server ? is this happening to any one else

    I have a mac book pro with snow leopard, I tried to check for updates on flip4mac but got message saying cannot contact server try again latter. This is the second day in arrow with this response. I got a I Tunes update yesterday and my flash player is up to date. is this happening to anyone else ?

    I am recieving this error as well.
    Yes, going to the website is an option for updating, but the Flip4Mac System Preference panel affords a method to check for updates without going this route.  It may be either a problem with Telestream's software, or perhaps it's a probelm with system configuration (corrupt prefs, outdated URL, etc.)  Telestream is aware of the issue, but has not as yet found the problem / solution.

  • [VB] Opening PageMaker layouts with InDesign Server

    I have numerous PageMaker 7.0 layouts that I need to open with a script running on InDesign CS4 Server.  These layouts open correctly using InDesign CS4 Desktop.  InDesign does a conversion on the layout but they do open correctly.  Does anyone know how to open these layouts from a script?
    When I attempt to open these layouts, using the Application.Open method, I get the following error:
              Cannot open the file "test.pmd".  Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing.
    Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sheldon

    Hi Sheldon,
    With CS4, InDesign Server no longer supports opening PageMaker files. This info is included in the Release Notes. InDesign CS4 will still open them so you could pursue a solution there.

  • DPS integration with InDesign Server

    Is there a way to integrate DPS functionality (create, upload, share folios) with InDesign Server, e.g. through the scripting API?
    Suppose I have an automated InDesign workflow and I want to publish the result to acrobat.com. Is this possible? Is this planned for a future version?
    I found a reference to the "Folio Producer SDK" in the DPS buying guide but could find any other information about this at all...
    Thanks

    AFAIK DSP has part of the production workflow NOT inside InDesign, so also InDesign Server alone can not be used to produce a digital magazine automatically. So its not about blocking, but having a better integration of the different parts into basic InDesign.
    Whether this will happen in the near or medium to far future (CS6, CS7...) we all don't know, but if they were integrated they possibly would be available in InDesign Server API/SDK too, as the code base is pretty much the same (except for the whole Java interfacing).
    IMHO InDesign will NEVER integrate all these production steps, as DPS is a lot about multimedia production workflow. A workflow system aka Woodwing for instance therefore is a wise solution to look at. Especially, as you can start at as low as €169 monthly with Enterprise 7 for DPS integration (in the near future with Enterprise 7.5).
