Can "Actual PPI" and "Effective PPI" be extracted from InDesign?

A script that I may require, needs to reach inside InDesign and extract the Actual PPI and Effective PPI from certain images, and then process the images in Photoshop. Are those variables available to scripts?

Update: this applies for javascript, i don't actually know if you in Applescript would use the Open Library function, and then selecting Indesign.?
With Creative Suite comes a program called Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit (in CS3 and CS4 its ESTK 2).
Open this program and look under (for CS3) "Help" -> "Adobe Indesign CS3 Object Model" this is the Object Model Viewer, or in short OMV.
In there you will se all the available objects, methods and so on.
If f.ex. you will like to know how to get a reference of a image:
app.activeDocument.pages[0].images[0]; // will give you the first image of page 1 of the currently active document
In ESTK, click application, now you see all available objects for the app (activeDocument is one of them), click this and you will see that Data-Type is document. Click on the blue link document, now you see what objects are available for a document.
Have fun.

  • How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

    Can someone please help me with this query:
    How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
    I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
    It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

    Hi Amila1,
    Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
    If so is the Preview pane turned ON?
    Please check the doc: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10862.aspx

    The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
    The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

    Can I purchase and turn on iTunes Match from my iPhone 5 with out a computer? And if so how?

    You can't do it from your phone. If they are iTunes purchased songs then you should be able to copy them to your laptop via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources, anf i you haven't got them on your backup of your library, then you will need a third-party program on your computer to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page which might work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You don't need to install iTunes for the purchase history. You can see it in your iPad (iTunes > Purchased), but you need to install it if you want the order numbers

  • How can I generate and/or retrieve log files from iPad

    How can I generate and/or retrieve log files from iPad?
    OBS!
    There are NO files apearing in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<name of iPad> so where else can i find it?
    I want to force it to produce a log, or find it within the iPad.
    It is needed for support of an app.

    Not sure on porting out the log data, but you can find it under General->About->Diagnostic&Usage->Diagnostic&Usage Data.  It will give you a list of your log data, and you can get additional details by selecting the applicable log you are looking for.  Hope this helps.

    I've never used Print Booklet or your printer, but some things are determined by the printer and printer software, rather than the program from which you are printing. You might want to see if Xerox's website has any info also.

  • Original and effective ppi

    Hey everyone! I would like to ask for some urgent help on Indesign + PDF print document subject.
    I prepared a document for offset print (business cards 8,5cm width x 5,5cm height) and it turned out that the pictures were very rastered on the Proof. Like, you could see the raster dots on it.
    I checked out my Indesign document again and I found out that the original ppi of the images was 762 and the effective ppi over 1000. I then realised that on Photoshop, I setted by mistake the pictures´s resolution for 300 pixel per cm instead of pixel per inchs!!
    I changed that and they have now:
    300 pixel per inch resolution
    4cm width x 5cm height
    and the pixel dimensions are: 472 px width x 591 pixel (height).
    In the Indesign document, it appears now:
    300 original ppi
    between 300 and 400 effective ppi
    472 px x 591 px dimensions
    My question is, do you guys think I solved the problem that way or should I still change something before I sent it again to print?
    The real dimensions of the pictures on the business card should be about 4cm width x 5cm height, so I decided to have them on Photoshop with that dimensions and 300 pixel per inch resolution, so that I don´t have to scale them much on Indesign. Did I do it right?
    Thank you!

    The original psd file has, more precisely:
    Image size: 14,8 cm width x 21 cm height
    Resolution: 762 px / inch ( = 300px/cm )
    Pixel dimensions: 4440 x 6300
    Then, I changed the Resolution from 762 px / inch to 300 px / inch, and checked in the "resample image" option, which converted the Pixel dimensions into: 1748 x 1418
    (Image size remained the same)
    This file has good detail quality, it looks sharp.
    Then, I drag the layer from this file to a new one, with the image size I need :
    Image size: 4cm x 5cm
    Resolution: 300 px / inch
    Pixel dimensions: 472 x 591
    Which makes me think of another question: Are these Pixel dimensions enough for print? Is this psd file good enough to place in Indesign and for print?
