Can an alternative layout be created with right-left direction (for Arabic language)

I'm creating a publication in English that will be translated into Pashto and Dari languages which run right to left. I won't be working the translated versions, but I want to set-up a well-organized InDesign master that makes it easy for the designer working on translation to create an alternate layout that runs right-left.

@Daniel – layouting for RTL (right-to-left-direction) would imply one basic setting for the whole document: RTL for the pages. So this would rule out the Alternative Layout feature of InDesign. You simply cannot reset the direction of the pages after a couple of other pages.
If you do not refer to the InDesign feature "Alternate Layout" here, but to an independent InDesign file, the answer is "yes", you can do it. With a "western" version of inDesign this is possible by scripting.
However, using a special plug-in like inTools' World Tools Pro would be the better solution:

  • How I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?

    Any ideas how I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?
    i updated it when we need to migrate and all emails are active and being used.
    i need to update an email address. we use this for my personal company and need to keep the email in
    the same format so it matches the others in the company. i dont see it anywhere in my account now.
    i am using a .mac format. thanks.

    In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
    Open iTunes
    Click Store
    Click Account
    Click View Account
    Enter your password
    Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
    To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
    Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
    I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
    Thanks guys...

  • Layout Pattern: Table with Header Left, Footer Right with JSFF?

    Details are in another forum, but was unsure if it was the correct forum to post to.
    You can find the post here:
    Layout Pattern: Table with Header Left, Footer Right with JSFF?

    The moral of the story is to set your <af:showDetailItem>'s stretchChildren attribute to "first".
                  <af:showDetailItem id="sdi5" text="Architecture"
                                     stretchChildren="first">The End.

    You have to go to Settings>Store and log out of one account and log into the other account.  If you have updates available for apps that were purchased from more than one account, you have to update the apps individually until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
    application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
    case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

    Can I rotate mark ups created with Adobe X on the background page of a PDF document?

    Thank you for taking the time to reply.
    I tried both ways and neither works.  It gives me a prompt box that I have to click "next" for every page but after going thru all pages, nothing is sent to the printer.
    Also, all directions I've read indicate it will print to the default printer.  If my default printer is on a network, will that cause problems....
    and...
    should I be getting a prompt box on every page?  I thought all this would happen behind the scenes and not force me to interact with every page.

  • Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

    Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

    first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
    the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey. 
      example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive)  the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
    but that is very occasionally,  most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed  ,  I don't know how that effects qt.
    qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)  
    I have gone to VLC  and MPlayerX  for direct playback for drones and cameras.  

  • I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.  Any ideas?

    Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
    Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
    Operating System
    Default location of iTunes library
    Microsoft Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    \Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows 7
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
    ... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

    I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.

    That's correct kayraypole! For our upgrade eligible customers, we have a deal that you can trade in any iPhone for a $200 Verizon Wireless gift card. Here's a link so you can check it out, www.trade-in.vzw.com. If you already upgraded & you are within 14 days of purchase then you can return the 5s, restocking fee may be applicable, and take advantage of this promo. How awesome is that!

    Hello, I am doing a layout in arabic language, and I am missing option of change direction in paragraph. I read on forum that I am supposed to download some kind of an plug in or version of indesign for arabic language support, but I just don't know what to download.
    Can you tell me step by step what to do and download.
    Thank you very much!

    InDesign is from a technical viewpoint a Plugin Activator.
    Every function is a plugin.
    With CC and higher you can change the language in the CC app preferences.
    When you change the language, additonal plugins, necessary for that language are installed, with the MENA (Middle East North Africa) versions RTL functionality is added into your primary version.
    InDesign chooses to start the program in the same language as you OS is set up, RTL functionality appears translated into your normal User Interface.
    After installing a MENA version you can switch back to your main language.

  • Where to sell fixed layout ePubs created with ID CC 2014?

    I'm wondering where I can sell my eBooks created with the fixed layout ePub3 option in InDesign CC 2014.
    I have already uploaded my first book to Apple iBook Store and it is online there.
    But are there other stores where I can sell my book? What is with Google Play, Kindle, Kobo?
    Has anyone already experiences?
    Thanks for your helps
    Almute

    Here's a chart that Anne-Marie Conception referred to in her webinar on Fixed Layout EPUB from InDesign CC 2014 which tells which features are supported by which platforms for EPUB3:
    EPUB 3 Support Grid | BISG
    Presumably, if a platform supports the feature, then it should be publishable on their bookstore.

  • How can I debug a DLL created with MS Visual Studio C++ using CVI?

    I have developed a DLL using MS Visual Studio C++, which is called by an other application written in CVI.
    My goal is to debug the DLL written with C++ when is called from CVI.
    So far I have some msg popups, but I would like to have more debugging capabilities.
    Thanks, Adalbert

    Hello Adi11,
    As documented in the CVI Help under "Debugging DLLs": "In the LabWindows/CVI development environment, you can debug only DLLs you create in LabWindows/CVI with the Create Debuggable Dynamic Link Library command. Other development environments cannot debug DLLs you create in LabWindows/CVI."
    This information was also mentioned on the following discussion forum.
