Building an InDesign App for CS5, 5.5 & CS6

I'd like to build a simple extension for InDesign that will run in CS 5, 5.5 and 6.
I tend to use CS ExtBuilder for the UI and ExtendScript for the 'working' code.
How can I set this up in FB? And which version of FB is best?
Thanks.

If you make the project target CS5 and later and compile it with the 3.4 version of extension builder, it should work for 5 and 5.5 as well as CS6.
Actually, I find that the older (deprecated) CSXSInterface is somewhat more reliable - though my experiences with the newer CSInterface are mainly from Photoshop...

Help Building my first app for iphone??

Hi
I have started building an app for iphone using Adobe Flash CS5.
Please help me answer to my stupid( ) questions.
1) Everytime I try exporting an ipa, even a blank file with just a static text field result in a 3mb ipa. Is it normal or can we optimize it further for iphone.
2) Any good tester/website/programs to test your ipa in different versions of iphone(3g,3gs, ipod 2g,ipad)etc.
3) My app is made on 1 frame and all the code is written inside the same fla (no separate as file). I hope that doesn't effect app performance or selection criteria?
4) few points on do's/don't when submitting apps to appStore for apps build in flash. Or any idea of any flash apps dissapproved because of any certain reasons.
That will be all, will really help understand iphone development better.,
Thanks

Hi,
To answer your question:
1. it's normal.
2. I didn't understand what are you trying to ask here.
3. Using OOP is always better but coding in the .fla first frame should be fine.
4. before you start building your app make sure to read apple's review guidlines and you should be fine - http://stadium.weblogsinc.com/engadget/files/app-store-guidelines.pdf

Building an AppCloud App for use within your organization only.

I am re-posting this from, Register your App because, it was a good point this should have been a separate discussion.

I am trying to get more details on how to Build/Register "Private" AppCloud Apps and confirm at design time that we can deploy our in-house AppCloud Apps on several of our Eloqua instances without publishing them.
My assumption is that one would setup the App under the Provider section for each of the Eloqua instances so that each Eloqua Instance can see and install our our in-house private app and use it without publishing. I worry about this method because it give the impression the AppCloud App is in development or testing.
Or
I was hoping there was some way to officially register our app so we are using a production workflow but our app is not published or listed anywhere?
T.J. Fields Jul 14, 2014 6:06 PM (in response to Scott Kent)
Hi Scott,
The best practice here would be for you to:
1. Register as a Provider in a development instance of Eloqua.
2. Build out your app and Register it, along with your Service(s) under that Provider.
3. Whitelist any Eloqua client installs that you wish to allow to use your App. Do this by clicking the Publish to Another Site button.
4. Give the App install URL (found at the bottom of the App Details page under Catalog) to any of those clients that you whitelisted to use your app.
This way, only those clients that you've specified will be able to install and use your App, and it's not listed anywhere. You could also click the Publish to App Cloud button, which simply whitelists every install. The App will never actually be listed anywhere, as there is not yet a mechanism in the framework to do this. The only way to find and install your App is by using that install URL, so you'd have to give it out.
If you are a client that is building an App for use within your organization, you could also use your company's Eloqua install to register your provider, but as a development partner, your developer instance is intended to be used to register and manage your services.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, scott.kent ! I'm sure many will benefit from your great post!

[Beginner] build a calendar app for each team using out of the box calendar app

Hi all,
First of all, I'm a beginner in sharepoint and need some advice in the following case:
We want to to create a calendar for different teams. Each team has it's own calendar to schedule a standby (all day event) for each day. In the overall view we want to see for each team the schedule who's standby (overlay). My preferred solution is to create
a new site and use the calendar app and customize this a little bit.
I tried to do this by creating a new calendar app and adding different views for each team. I have set the group calendar option on true so we can add users to each team calendar view. Unfortunately, I have understand that it is not possible to set default
users for each view. I´m also looking how I can set a default title filled with the name of the view when you add a schedule, I tried to do this with a calculated value but I can´t get that working. An other question is, can I set permissions on each team
view who can edit the schedule or is it better to create for each team an own list? For example, I want to disable that team members can edit schedules in the past, only schedules in the future is editable.
I'm not not sure if the out of the box calendar app is suitable for my case or I have to look futher in other solutions. Any advice is welcome!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to build a calendar app which can add default users for each calendar view and set default title when adding schedule.
For adding default users in each group calendar view using custom JavaScript, here is a detailed code demo for your reference:
SharePoint Group Calendar, Adding default users
For adding default title when adding schedule, I suggest you can add some Jquery to fill the title textbox when the schedule new form loading. You can add the Jquery under PlaceHolderMain tag of calendar new form page.
Set Textbox value-using JQuery
For setting permission in the each team view, I suggest you can check the schedule end time in the edit form, if the schedule time is before the current date time, then you can set all the fileld read only using Jquery.
More information:
Jquery function to compare date with current date
Jquery set read only
Thanks

Problems building the sample Apps for JSF

I m trying to build the sample Apps provided as part of the JWSDP 1.3 for jsp after making some changes.
The JSF tutorial says to run tne "ant" command after making changes to the build.properties file.
The problems i am facing are:
1. It says to specify the username/passowrd . I do not see anything like that in build.properties.
2. For building it says to excute "ant" command. But that comes back with errors just specifying the usage which is similar to java usage. I have set all the variables like JSF_HOME, ANT_HOME, JWSDP_HOME etc to the correct values..
Can anyhelp me by pointing me to how to rebuild these samples..
BTW i am using the Tomcat that cam bundled with JWSDP 1.4
Thanks
SJ

I also had some problems building the examples. As I use WinXP, I can't really help unfortunately. But I would like to mention, that a stand-alone JSF EA Version wouldl be great and definitely make it easier for newbies to get contac to this technology.
Another recommendation would be to have a jsf-blank.war, that contains all necessary libs, config files, etc. without references to other downloads. This way I am sure, that many people more would be fascinated.
I guess that JSF will be available as such a standalone version in the end, but it would also be nice to have it right now, even as an EA.

Indesign upgrading from CS5.5 to Cs6

Hi,
How can I upgrade my current version of Indesign CS5.5 to CS6? I don´t manage to open files created with CS6 version. Does it existe a kind of patch?
I have juste updated the CS5.5 version online but I don´t find the way to upgrade it.
I am working on PC.
Thanks for your help

http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?promoid=KFOZP
Just to repeat what you’ve already been told. You are affectively buying a version that is already two versions out of date. There’s very little benefit of going from CS5.5 to CS6 at this point.

Building Native Mobile App for Android: error message, build fail

Hi,
I'm trying RH10 on a Win 8 x64 system, trying to get the generate for mobile devices, Android to work. I've installed the Android SDK (part of the complete ADT) in a "Development" folder in the C drive, installed JDK for Win 64, added the PhoneGap and ANT unzipped folders to the "Development" folder and then in the RH10 dialog to generate the Android APK, I've pointed set the correct paths to these tools. (All installed tools are correct for my OS, Win 8 x64.)
No matter what I try, using a sample file (EmployeeCare, Salesbuilder), I get an error message at the very end of the build process. Please see the screenshot showing the error message and the relevant part of the log which looks like the ANT path is not working correctly. The build fails every time. I've tried to do some troubleshooting online and for example, came across setting the environment variables for the ANT folder, which I did, but with no success in fixing the problem. The Eclipse installation connects with the JDK and runs OK if I simply boot it up.
My path settings are in a second screenshot below.
(I've tried the ANT path with different values, for example "C:\Development\apache-ant-1.9.0-bin" etc. Doesn't prevent error message and build failure.)
I am not sure what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. At this point, I would be happy to simply be able to build one APK then test it on an Android device.
Thank you for your help.
Kind Regards,
saratogacoach

Not much on the forums yet about creating an app but I notice you are using Windows 8 which is not officially supported yet. Can you try on a Windows 7 machine to rule out the OS being the problem?

Hard Drive setup for CS5 master collection

Dear All,
I am looking for advice on what drive configuration to use. I am currently reformatting all drives for a new cs5 install and have the following drives:
1. WD Raptor 10000rpm 150gig
2. WD Raptor 10000rpm 300gig
3. Seagate 7200 rpm - 1.5tb
4. Seagate 7200 rpm - 1.5tb
I have read various forum messages, but need some clarification on what to install on what drive
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with 6 gig memory and i7 processor
I assume windows is best installed on either of the faster WD drives. and my video projects on the seagate drives.
Where should cs5 program files be ?
I have raid options but dont know a lot about the best set up
Any advice most welcome, would like to try to get it right first time!
Regards
Chris Anderson

Hi Harm
many thanks for your reply. I am considering purchasing new HD's specific to build a machine just for CS5.
What would you recommend for performance. No price budget as such.
Im thinking 15000rpm.
Im thinking SATA - is this the fastest?
Do i have to consider the motherboard to support fast sata drives? - i am confused as i see you can get sata drives with a 6gig transfer speed, does this depend
on the motherboard?
Would a bigger cache ie 64mb make a good improvement?
Any advice most welcome
Thanks

InDesign CS6 folio builder/links question. For iPad app.

Hi there. I am a graphic designer who is very experienced in InDesign using the software for print purposes. I am now branching out with the capacities CS6 has and am learning to design (mainly presentation) apps for the iPad. So, I've designed a portfolio as a multiple page document with both portrait and landscape page orientations. The app would consist of a starter page which would be a load of animation exported as swf, and imported back into InDesign as HTML5, or MP4, or however (I haven't nailed this yet as I'm leaving this till last as this page will serve as a screen saver until swiped). When the viewer swipes page 1 they will enter into the main 'contents' page with a load of thumbnails of clients I have and within those clients a load of case studies. So, I've roughly designed the layout and will need to build but I need to know what I'm limited by.
Page 1 title page,
page 2 contents (with scrollable bar with links to other pages)
page 3 will be the 1st client and will need approx 6 case studies, which I presume I'll need to make extra pages. And so on.
Anyhow, I digress – the question I ask is that to upload and test on the iPad through content viewer I obviously need to upload the articles as separate pages (incorporating both H & V orientations) but would I make the links from my 'contents' page when the document was a multiple page document (ie in it's original state) or would I apply these links (as buttons I presume rather than hyperlinks) when the articles have been separated and I'm working with page 01, 02, 03 etc in folio builder?. I know how how to create buttons from thumbnails but I can't work out how to link them to their desired targets (next page/page no/ etc etc) for the record I want to present my work on an iPad as an app, without relying on WIFI or 3G. Last question (phew) Is I have a picture frame with a slideshow in - is it possible for the viewer to click these and open them in full screen mode and flick/navigate through that way? then click via a cross in the top corner back to the screen they were on. Very grateful for any replies – It's a steep learning curve from print! Steve C, London, England

Steve,
we have many resources, from step-by-step tutorials to videos and more at our DPS Developer Center at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite.html.
There is also a very cool (and free) app called DPS Tips with many examples on using interactive overlays in DPS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/digital-publishing-suite-tips/id436199090?mt=8
The iPad Publishing Companion Guide PDF is available on the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com). The link to download the Companion Guide is available in the "Additional Resources" section on the Dashboard.
I think that these resources will provide answers to most of your questions.

Programatically determine installation location for InDesign CS3, CS4, CS5, AND CS5.5 (Windows)

We build plug-ins for all versions of InDesign from CS3 and later, for Windows and Mac.
To deploy our plug-in(s) on Windows, we use InstallShield, which has a somewhat complicated mechanism to locate InDesign.exe and determine its version so we know which plug-in(s) to install, but basically, the location is determined (via the RegLocator table in InstallShield) based on this registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\InDesign.exe
This has been working fine for all versions of InDesign since CS2. However, that location is apparently no longer set by the InDesign CS5.5 installer. So, we need to find some other way of programatically locating InDesign CS5.5 with our installer.
I've searched the registry of a machine with InDesign CS5.5 installed, and there are other registry entries related to InDesign, but those entries are not set by earlier versions of the InDesign installer. Ideally, there would be a registry setting, or some other reliable marker we can use to locate the InDesign installation, which is consistent across all versions of InDesign (at least back to CS3).
Using the registry setting is something we came up with on our own via trial-and-error, since, as far as I know, there is no documented way to locate the InDesign installation folder. (Our Mac installer uses a simpler mechanism to locate InDesign by the application name and version number.)
I find the apparent lack of documentation on this a bit ironic, since just about every other aspect of the SDK and the methods for creating InDesign plug-ins is extremely well documented, expect for the last final bit one needs to know to get to the promised land of actually deploying a carefully crafted plug-in to customers' machines. (This seems to be true of the Acrobat SDK as well.) However, I could have just missed the relevant documentation, in which case, please point me to it.
So, is there a recommended way to programatically locate the InDesign installation location on Windows? How are other people doing this in their installers?

Hi Dan,
this is the InDesign plugins SDK forum, you need the installer forum....
Just kidding. I use a really hacky piece of VB to install my plugins while I'm developing...
here's the bit which works out the folder depending on which version I'm compiling for.
That gives you the gist anyway, and I imagine that most installers are going to do more or less the same thing, except they'll have short cuts ways of getting it.
There's probably a better way, but this works for me...

CS5 Extension Builder and Indesign Server ?

Hello,
Is it possible to write an extension with CS5 Extension Builder for Indesign Server? It works fine with Indesign Desktop for me, but I'm ot sure for the Server version. Spend time to search on the web, without results.Just found this note in "indesign_cs5_server_scripting_guide.pdf" : You can use the ExtendScript Toolkit to create JavaScript scripts explicitly for InDesign Server, or you can use the Creative Suite Extension Builder (CS Extension Builder) to develop CS extensions in ActionScript. CS extensions are Flash-based (SWF) and can potentially work in a variety of Creative Suite applications.
Many thanks in advance,
David

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the answer. This is not good news for us, but again, thanks for the answer.
In few words, we are a leading French software editor (www.perigee.fr). Our software is a database that works with Indesign (using a C++ plugin), and manage pictures, text blocs, tables from PIM & DAM mgt.
We are working on a brand new software suite that will be based on both Indesign and Indesign Server. We intend to develop the Indesign UI in ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder.
On the model side, we need something that works as well on both platforms. We tested several solutions (C++, Javascript) so far but we came to the conclusion that it would be ideal to use ActionScript.
If there is no solution for AS and Indesign Server, we'll have to mix four programming languages in our solution (Java, C++, ActionScript and some JavaScript). Alternatively we could delay part of our project depending on the availability of AS on Indesign Server.
We really like ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder, and hopefully a solution to stay on our preferred languages: ActionScript and Java.
We also explored the full Java/Corba option but it is not supported on the non-server side. And, again, we believe that ActionScript is the best solution.
I hope our problem is clearer now.
Do you see anything we may have missed?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
David

Flash CS5.5 or CS6 creating an interactive ebook /app for IOS

I'm in middle ground here as I'm able to create a simple app for IOS using CS5.5 and was wondering if I'm able to create an interactive IBook ( which is actually an app ) to know what I mean if you go to the Apple Book Store and download the free "Beatles" Yellow Submarine you will see the interactivity.
When I write middle ground I mean I just finished downloading CS6 and looking at some tutes so if this is possible, which I know I can get the interactivity but its just putting it in book form that I was curious about.
thx
RD

I misunderstood you, because I'm not english speaker. But I will try to answer..
You develop 1 app. This app will include all that you wants. Page - it's just object. Each object can contain another objects. Like a tree and leafs. So you simply make 1 page with any animations. Page 2 with any animations and etc and combine this to one APP.
Here is the link, you can get free 8 pages. Will be good if you can spent $1.99 =)))

If you don't have iPad - here is a Russian video review http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rXb2jswoz0Y
This all done using Adobe Flash CS5.5 and Exported to Adobe Air, than published to AppStore.
If you want to offer me some job in this area - just write me PM
