Building a custom web-to-print solution. Where to begin?

I am a web developer in an organization that deals with creating books. They don't actually print and distribute the books, but they create the book designs in InDesign where they then send them to the printers to be printed and distributed.
The organization is now interested in having users customize portions of books online (logo, certain text, particular images, etc), to be automatically sent to a printer and then distributed. The organization realizes that there are a number of web-to-print solutions that exist, but they are very much interested in creating an in-house, fully customized solution (for a number of reasons, they didn't find the other solutions satisfactory).
Essentially, the desired online experience for the user would be to go through a series of steps, filling in text inputs and uploading images to replace the templated portions of the InDesign file. Further, the user would see a preview of the inputted changes on the screen.
A lot of the burden would be on me developing the software necessary to make this work. I have a lot of experience in a number of programming languages, but have very little experience in the web-to-print industry (as well as little experience in InDesign).
If we were to create a fully customized web-to-print solution in house, where would I begin in finding out how best to implement a solution like this? If one with experience could provide a list of high-level steps needed for implementation or even a bullet list of items to research, I would be extremely appreciative.
Note that we are not interested in actually printing the books, but sending the fully created print-ready design files to the printers for print and distribution.

  • Is it possible to leverage InDesign Server templates in a custom web app?

    Hi there,
    I am building a custom web app and was hoping to leverage our existing InDesign Server templates within our web app. What I would like to do, is based on user input, show my template with the user's input in the browser. I have looked through the API guides for InDesign Server CS6, but I haven't been able to conclusively find anything that will allow me to use the APIs to call the server, send the data points the template requires, and then get an image back from the server.
    I believe this is possible, I am just not sure how to achieve it! Any ideas or articles that help push me in the right direction would be extremely helpful!
    Thank you!
    Marshall

    Yes it's completely possible. There are two parts to making something like this work:
    1. The scripts themselves. You can generally script InDesign Server and desktop InDesign exactly the way using ExtendScript. So that's the part of the process where your script receives variables and passes them into the template and replaces something you've identified as variable, whether text or an image or something else (perhaps a color theme, etc.). You should get your scripts running on desktop before playing around with server.
    2. The messaging between your web app and the server. Whatever language you are using (i.e. PHP, .Net, Java, Ruby…) there is a way to make a SOAP call to InDesign Server to tell it basically "run this script with these parameters". You should get the "hello world" script running from a SOAP call on the server before using your real variable-driven document.
    The documentation of these things is available here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
    You need to download the InDesign Server SDK (don't worry if you're on CC and it says CS6, almost nothing changed) and the InDesign Scripting SDK. The Server SDK deals with part #2 above, the Scripting SDK with part #1.
    It really isn't that hard. I should warn you, though, that it is addictive and once you do your first one you will become all-powerful and want to do nothing else. :-)
    Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.

  • T-Shirt/Web 2 Print Designer

    Since we are all on an Adobe forum -- I think its safe to say that many of us are designers, some for web, some for print. I'm looking for a way to build an ecommerce site in Muse in which customers would be able to design items like t-shirts, banners, business cards, or to be able to submit their own files. There are some companies out there that offer a designer tool (inksoft.com) but then you need have your site on the inksoft platform. It would be way cool if Adobe could design some type of product designer like this and then make it embedable into Muse through a Widget.  Add Business Catalyst ecommerce to the picture and we would have a very cool web to print solution.

  • How to enable a custom web part class file to be refreshed at regular interval of time, without affecting the entire page where its placed.

    Hi,
    I am calling a web service in the web part class file where it gets the data. I need to call the service at regular intervals of time which is in the web part, is there a way to get the web part refreshed automatically at certain intervals of time.
    Rayudu

    You can use Ajax for automatic refreshing.
    Add a timer control into an Ajax Update panel within your custom web part and execute your code to refresh the field values within the Timer_Tick() event.
    You can also control the timer interval to 10 minutes or so using the Timer.Interval property.
    This will always enable your page to remain with only the web parts getting refreshed.
    I just found
    a blog post which describes this in detail with screenshots.

  • SharePoint Apps and custom web services as remote services

    Hello,
    After reading documentation about Apps for SharePoint compared with SharePoint solutions I did not find any information about "You
    can develop your custom web services as remote services.".
    Could you please give me links or advise, where I can get information - "How to develop custom web services as remote services" using SharePoint 2013 Apps?

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to use WCF service instead of Web Service,
    also, SharePoint 2013 introduces a Representational State Transfer (REST) service that is comparable to the existing SharePoint client object models.
    Get started with the SharePoint 2013 REST service

  • P1606dn does not print web services printer code

    A message appears informing web services printer code  will be printed. But it is not printed. This did work once. However i needed to remove the printer from eprintcenter and readd. Readd needed a new printer code??

    Hi there hope you are doing well Lochana;
    I will need to know what operating system and version of it do you have in your computer? If you need futher assistance.
    Watch this video; to get familiar with eprint registration procces
    Let's take this steps 1st.
    Perform a power reset on the HP product and wireless router, and then restart the computer
    Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
    Press the Power button ( ) on the HP printer to turn it off.
    Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
    Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
    Turn off the computer.
    Wait 30 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
    Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
    Turn the computer back on.
    Wait for the computer to reload.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
    Turn the printer back on.
    Try again to see if get the printe code.
    Enable Web Services from the Embedded Web Server (EWS)
    Use the following steps to enable Web Services on your HP product.
    Locate your product's IP address on the test page you printed previously.
    Open an Internet browser (such as Internet Explorer).
    Type the product IP address in the browser address bar, and then press Enter .
    The EWS opens.
    NOTE:If the EWS does not open, your product is not connected to the network. Test your network connections again and return to these steps.
    Click the HP Web Services tab.
    On the HP Web Services tab, click the green Enable button to enable Web Services.
    NOTE:If you see a green Remove Services button, then Web services is already enabled.
    When Web Services is enabled, the product prints an information page. This process might take a few minutes. The information page contains the printer code you use to register your HP product at HP ePrintCenter.
    Firmware update
    A firmware update might help to resolve wireless connectivity issues. Firmware updates are available for download on the Web. Follow these steps to obtain a firmware update for your product:
    NOTE:Firmware updates are different from product updates (that were referenced in the previous step). Make sure to perform both types of updates to guarantee that your HP product has the most up-to-date functionality.
    Click this link, HP Customer Care , to go to the HP Customer Care Support page.
    Type your product number in the search field, and then click Next . You might also need to click your model in a list of similar products.
    The product support page displays.
    Click Software & Driver Downloads , select your operating system, and then click Next .
    Click the Plus sign ( ) next to Firmware to view the firmware updates.
    Click the firmware update, and then follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the firmware.
    Hope this helps!

  • Web Fed Printing?

    Has anyone out there seen or heard of a coldfusion
    application designed to handle web based printing (similar to
    overnightprints.com)?
    Not just a simple print function from a desktop pc, but
    rather an application developed for an end user to upload a photo,
    add text, edit and place withing bleed/crop marks, leaving the back
    end customer a finished pdf, or jpg file to print. Basically a
    prepress sort of app.
    Make sense? I know I've seen companies that offer this (ie:
    pageflex storefront), but I was wondering if anyone has developed a
    custom coldfusion solution.
    Thanks!

    Can you please send me some code which prints it. I am able to print it but it is missing some columns to the right. I am following HOW TO .. WEB PRINTING document.
    What is the process you are using to print the Web Page.
    Can you please let me know ASAP.
    thanks

  • Custom Muse Widgets - Where to Begin?

    I am an experienced coder; I have coded for Drupal for years and other platforms, and have been a web developer since 2000.
    My preface is that I would gladly make widgets and share them, but I have NO clue where to start! Muse is a fantastic tool, and with Business Catalyst has drastically cut coding time down to almost none - I can just focus on the design.
    I want to contribute to the community, but creating widgets is a mystery. I see websites like Musegrid having custom widgets for sell; heck, I would GIVE mine away - IF I just knew where to begin.
    Regards,
    - John

    That was super simple! Thanks so much; I am now signed up.
    It would be awesome if they had some sort of "widget" builder. With JS snippets and a CSS browser, sort of like Dreamweaver has. I would happily contribute.

  • I want to build a custom flash player for my desktop

    I want to build a custom flash player for my desktop, using C# and Visual Studio 2008. Where do I start? I just want a real simple one to play swf files. Play, stop, loop, full screen, normal size. I'll start there. Where do I go? I've searched the web for an answer, and found several example projects that don't compile, or are incomplete. It's very frustrating. This shouldn't be that difficult.

    I think you started the right way - looking for example programs.
    If they won't compile, then they probably contain errors.  Fix the errors until they compile.  Then develop your own extensions.
    This is one way of developing applications, the other way is starting from scratch.

    Hi,
    maybe this is the problem. The type is byte and not binary.
    But I have the same problem as mentioned in the other thread: I can't change the type.
    The type in the WSDL of my web service is "base64binary". Is there maybe a possibility to import a jar-file for this type?

    Hi,
    We know that the Page.EnableEventValidation property is set to true(The default is true.),  Sharepoint Custom web(ASP.NET Web) validates that a control event originated from the user interface that was rendered by that control. A control registers its
    events during rendering and then validates the events during postback or callback handling.
    If you write client script freely,you might have to set "EnableEventValidation = false" in your C# code behind,but this method may be troublesome in SharePoint,
     so the method of "sadomovalex"( http://sadomovalex.blogspot.in/) is a good idea.
    Best Regards

  • Is it possible to transfer custom web galleries from CS3 to CS5?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer my custom web galleries from PS CS3 to Adobe Bridge CS5?

    Collections are not a physical directory.  It is kind of like a spreadsheet that tells Bridge where to find the pictures and display them, so you can't just move the folder.
    Smart collections are a little easier to transfer, but do not think CS3 had those.
    Not an expert here but believe you would first have to have the same computer  and HD so that all the picture loacations are the same.
    Then go to User/App Data/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge/Collections and copy file from CS3 and insert into same spot for CS5.
    Maybe someone that have done this will jump in and prove me wrong.

  • Building a custom worklist client in 11g R1 fails to authenticate [Solved]

    Release: 11gR1
    Hi,
    We're trying to build a custom worklist client using the APIs exposed by the workflow service described here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_worklistcust.htm#BHAHBHID
    I created an ADF/webcenter application.
    Created a page and added ADF security to the page which in turn authenticates via OID - this works.
    However when I try to use the workflow API to retrieve the workflow context I receive this exception:
    ========= get tasks =========
    admin user : weblogic
    admin pw : weblogic1
    realm : myrealm
    user : harry
    exception : ORABPEL-30501
    Error in authenticating user.
    Error in authenticating and creating a workflow context for user myrealm/weblogic.
    Verify that the user credentials and identity service configurations are correct.
    message : Error in authenticating user.
    Error in authenticating and creating a workflow context for user myrealm/weblogic.
    Verify that the user credentials and identity service configurations are correct.
    ORABPEL-30501

    Further Notes:
    The out-of-the-box worklistapp included with BPEL authenticates correctly through the same OID instance.
    The above was when I used REMOTE_CLIENT, I get a similar error when I use SOAP_CLIENT.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I left my wf_client_config.xml file as is. (shown in the original comment above - I have this file in the ViewController project's src directory - not the global src directory)
    I reverted my workflow-identity-config.xml file to its original state (ie removed the multiple configurations and defaulted to the jazn.com realm):
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
    <ISConfiguration xmlns="http://www.oracle.com/pcbpel/identityservice/isconfig" >
    <configurations>
    <configuration realmName="jazn.com">
    <provider providerType="JPS" name="JpsProvider" service="Identity">
    <property name="jpsContextName" value="default" />
    </provider>
    </configuration>
    </configurations>
    <property name="caseSensitive" value="false"/>
    </ISConfiguration>
    It seemed to me that the worklist client service (API) always uses jazn.com as the realm, even though I added users to myrealm (weblogic's default realm) via oid.
    When I browse for users in a HumanTask.task file in JDeveloper for instance the users I had added to myrealm show up in the jazn.com realm - which is okay since they're all in there.
    Since this is a client and we don't really know the password of a user logging in I used the authenticateOnBehalfOf() method to get the IWorkflowContext of the user after getting the IWorkflowContext of an Administrator.
    In order to get an administrator IWorkflowContext you need to authenticate against a user who is in the 'Administrators' group.
    The code I used is below:
    public class worklistService {
    String adminUser = "harry";
    String adminPassword = "welcome1";
    String realm = "jazn.com";
    public List getTasks() throws WorkflowException, StaleObjectException {
    String user = ADFContext.getCurrent().getSecurityContext().getUserName();
    try {
    IWorkflowServiceClient iWorkflowServiceClient = WorkflowServiceClientFactory.getWorkflowServiceClient(WorkflowServiceClientFactory.REMOTE_CLIENT);
    ITaskQueryService iTaskQueryService = iWorkflowServiceClient.getTaskQueryService();
    System.out.println("admin user : " + adminUser);
    System.out.println("admin pw : " + adminPassword);
    System.out.println("realm : " + realm);
    System.out.println("user : " + user);
    IWorkflowContext directUserContext = iTaskQueryService.authenticate("ben", adminPassword.toCharArray(), realm);
    System.out.println("------ directUserContext : " + directUserContext);
    IWorkflowContext adminContext = iTaskQueryService.authenticate(adminUser, adminPassword.toCharArray(), realm);
    System.out.println("------ adminContext : " + adminContext);
    IWorkflowContext userContext = iTaskQueryService.authenticateOnBehalfOf(adminContext,user);
    System.out.println("------ userContext : " + userContext);
    Hope this helps someone else ...

    Any suggestion. Appreciate your help

    Are you running ant in the <j2eetutorial_home>\examples directory> ?J2eetutorial_home refers to the directory where the tutorial is installed. I don't think this is the problem, but I thought i might check.
