Can I copy/export all text formatted with a given style?

I have a multi document book, which includes nearly a hundred references to web pages. Each of these is formatted with a character style. The author has not asked me if I can give him a list of all of those references. Is there any way to pull out all text using that character style, and either copy or export it? I already have a TOC and index, but if there is a way to force character styles into either of these, I could do this on a clone just to get the data.
Failing that, is anyone aware of a way to do this in the resulting PDF or EPUB file?
(I'm in CS5, by the way!)

How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?

How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?
I have a number of fonts (approx. 500) on my work laptop which are sorted to different Collections. I'd like to have a copy of the Font Book library with Collections on the laptop I use at home to work. I'd think there was a more straight forward way to do it, but I haven't found any posts regarding the matter so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

To anyone who is reading this based on needing to copy their Font Book to another machine as I do, there is a way to make a copy of the fonts in Font Book by going to file/export fonts. Keep in mind that you will need to have all the fonts selected (command A) in your "All Fonts" list for them to be exported. You will then have a new folder saved to where ever you chose, with all your Font Book fonts in it.

Export all text

Hello All,
I would like to export all text with the TextExportPreferences as
.CharacterSet = idTextExportCharacterSet.idUnicode
.Platform = idImportPlatform.idPC
to test.txt file for active indesign file.
Can you please suggest the vbscript for this?
I have the part of it as ....the second part which will iterate through all text ....
Rem TextExportPreferences.vbs
Rem An InDesign CS3 VBScript
Rem
Rem Sets the text export filter preferences.

Paul,
I'm the moderator here, and your response, in my opinion, was out of line. Daniel is a long-time vounteer here, and I see no evidence to suggest anything in your accusations.
In fact I would say your first post, made some rather egregious presumptions that your problem and that of harooki2 were the same, all evidence to the contrary. In his case he said that the type was visible in overprint preview, which categorically eliminates the possibility that it was set to non-printing in the attibutes panel. Though he might have phrased it better, Daniel was suggesting that had you followed the suggestion to check overprint preview and reported that the text (or whatever) disappeared, the first suggestion that any of us here would have made would be to check the attributes for non-printing. In fact, that's precisely why he suggested that check in the first response to this thread, to eliminate that as a possibility and quickly establish how complex the problem is.

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

Hi there
I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.
Cheers... Rick

I'm working with a Mac, with 10.10.2 system. My Audition program has been working fine for years now. But, there is a problem I can't solve. All my markers on a given piece of audio allows me to left click to highlight the time signature until my audio reaches the one hour point. From there on, the left click will not give me the drop down menu in order to copy and then paste into an Excel sheet I then have to submit for the proofing purposes. After the one hour mark, I can only control/c in order to highlight, then when I slide up to my Excel sheet, I'm able to right click and paste. Why is the program not, all of a su allowing me to left cllick the mouse and have a drop down menu give me the option to "copy, " as it does for any time signature markers up to 1:00:00.000?

Which version of Audition? With the latest version of Audition running on a Windows 7 machine I can't get a dropdown menu at all when I left click on the time in Markers List. The only way to do it is with cntrl-c.

You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

Crystal report : Export to Text format from BI Launch pad

Hi,
We are facing issue in exporting the Crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad view mode. Currently BI launch pad doesn’t support export to Text format option for crystal report in view mode. But export to text format option is feasible in schedule mode. But customer is not interested in exporting the reports through schedule mode.
Please advise, if we have any alternative way of exporting the crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad.
Thanks,
Chinnu A

Hi Chinnu,
The question is better suited to be asked in the BI Platform space.

Export to Text format

When a report is exported to Text format, trailing spaces do not appear in the exported file.
How do you resolve this issue?
1. Create a report.
2. Include 3 fields
3. Export ->txt
After the end of 3rd field we require 200 spaces...any idea...

Try to insert a new formula after the third field like this
space(200)
or try to create a formula for the third field like this
+space(200)
and place this formula in the place of the third field and export to text file.
Regards,
Raghavendra

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.

How can I print out all texts from one person

How can I printall of my texts from my very bad lawyer?

It's not a file, so you can't "open" one file. Every message (and note) is a single file on the computer.
This Applescript will grab all the notes in the selected mailbox (i.e. the selected Notes item in Mail) and put them in a textEdit document.
Note that Mail doesn't differentiate between a note and an email message, so if you run this while a normal email mailbox is selected, it will gather all of your email messages.
tell application "Mail"
set theMailboxes to the selected mailboxes of message viewer 0
repeat with aMailbox in theMailboxes
set theNotes to the messages of aMailbox
set theText to ""
repeat with aNote in theNotes
set theText to theText & content of aNote & return
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
set myDocument to make new document at end of documents with properties {text:theText}
end tell
Copy and paste this into a new AppleScript Editor Document, select the Notes mailboxes you want to print the notes from, and click the Run button (Green button with arrow).
This may take a while.

Acrobat 9.4.2 does not save/export all graphic formats

Dear all,
Obviously i had my glass of wine to early! See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798630 for the whole story of my re-re-re-istallation of Acrobat.
The installation of 9.0 from the TCS2 DVD was OK
After update to 9.2 my tests displayed correct results for all desired tasks
After the update to 9.4.2 i obviously did not test thoroughly enough (hence the glass of whine).
Later it turned out that 9.4.2 does not save/export graphic formats:
pdf (all flavours), eps and ps are exported correctly
html (all flavours) export a html file and the image as jpg correctly
jpg, jp2 does not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
doc, rtf save issue error message "Save As failed to process this document. No file has been created"
png and tif do not save anything, and no error message gives a hint
xml table and xml export correctly
txt (both flavours) are exported correctly
Hence the only method i can get a picture is to export as HTML and through away the HTML... or: enlarge the picture as much as possible on the screen and take a screen shot.
What is missing in this installation?
During my re-re-re-installtions some Windows updates may have happened.
Any help available for this issue?
Klaus Daub e

The story goes on and hopefully Adobe has an answer/fix for this
There was an automatic update from 9.4.2 to 9.4.3, but the problem still existed.
So I decided to uninstall Acrobat and re-install it for the nth time: start with the installation of 9.0 from TCS2, reboot, update to 9.2, reboot, update to 9.4.3 and reboot again.
The result is very mixed (and this was alrady with the newly installed 9.0):
Save as RTF or DOC creates RTF and DOC files - although the contents is not that useful.
Save as PNG is OK
Save as JPG, JP2 or TIF works, but it turns out, that the files are all PNG (although with the various extensions)!
Creating a snapshot now works correctly. The clipboard receives a bitmap. However: although I have set the preferences for the snapshot to be of 96 dpi the bitmap gets the property 72 dpi!
Setting acrobat.exe to be Compatible to XP SP3 does not change a jota.
Keep in mind: on Windows XP things worked correctly for a long time. Switching to Window 7, x64 creates this strange problem.
I need to start with Acrobat from the TCS2 DVD, because otherwise I do not get the correct implementation for working with FrameMaker.
I'm very reluctant to buy Acrobat X, for me there are too many gimmics there (besides the costs).
