Can I place page 2 of an InDesign doc into another InDesign doc? A Script maybe?

I would like to take certain pages from document A and place them in document B so that when I change doc A, the linked pages placed in doc B automatically update.
I often place single page InDesign documents into other InDesign documents but can't figure out if there is a way to place individual pages from multipage files.

Hell yeah! Exactly what I was looking for. That little tick was holding me up all afternoon.
I usually drag and drop files from Bridge and don't often actually use the Place function!

Can't Place Captivate 6 swf or html5 File into Muse v3.2.

Muse v3.2 won't place my Captivate 6 swf or html5 files. "Error encountered during import" error 0. Has anyone else solved this or a similar problem? What can I do? Suggestions welcome.

I inserted the following HTML code that I gleaned from

The code is:

I also uploaded the .swf file using the "Add File" function. When I publish, I get a blank white box with no video that plays. Any suggestions? Have I named the file incorrectly in the HTML code?
I feel like an idiot. I keep pounding this day after day with no solution. Hope I am writing in the correct forum.

Can I copy and paste a drop down list into another field?

Can I copy and paste a drop down list into another field?

You don't have to create a PDF, but it would be helpful to know what, exactly, you want to do with the ppt.
You can export as a PDF which will keep vectors and text as PostScript (crisp) elements.
You can also Save As from ppt in a variety of formats such as PNG or TIFF.
These rasterize all the vectors and text, but are very useful if you're laying out a miniature gallery of the powerpoint presentation.
However, if you want to make the InDesign file a replica of the ppt slides for print, PDF is probably the best way to go.

Can I place my preferred folders from my machine into Captivate project library?

Hello everyone.
I have created a SWF(it may be of 2.0 or 3.0 versions) file which loads images and audio files dynamically from a source folder using XML and JavaScript.
I want that SWF file to play in my captivate project.
Is that possible ?
Or can we place the source folder in captivate project library and interact the SWF file to the source folder ?
Please give me the possible solutions for my requirement....
Thank you.

Hi Larry,
thank you for your reply.
They were originally in "Computer - Users - (my user name) - Pictures - iPhoto library *show package contents* - Import
(auto import folder is still in the iPhoto library if that makes a difference)
when i originally removed the import folder to my desktop. i closed iPhoto, reopened it, and everything worked fine. Now that i've put it in my trash and reopen iPhoto, everything is still fine and intact. I was just afraid things might change once i hit 'empty trash'. Also, once i hit yes to emptying the trash, i get the message that "there are some locked items in the Trash. Do you want to remove all the items, including the locked ones, or just the unlocked items?"
my gut feeling is that the import folder is just filled with junk that originated from my windows that my iPhoto won't recognize. but i'd rather be safe than sorry.
thanks in advance for your response and help.

Can I plug in (restore) an RMAN tablespace backup into another DB ?

11.2.0.3/AIX 6.1
We accidently dropped a development DB without taking the latest expdp backup of an important schema. All the objects on this schema belonged to only one tablespace and we have the RMAN backup of that tablespace. Is there anyway we could recreate that schema by restoring the tablespace backup into another database ?

Yes.
Use the TRANSPORT TABLESPACE feature/method :
http://oracle.su/docs/11g/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta2021.htm
Also check out sys.dbms_tts.transport_set_check
RMAN> transport tablespace emp_data, emp_data2
tablespace destination '/u01/app/oracle/oradata'
auxiliary destination '/u04/app/oracle/oradata';If you need to check your endian format use this query :
SELECT
PLATFORM_NAME,
ENDIAN_FORMAT
FROM
V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM;http://www.fadalti.com/oracle/database/how_to_transportable_tablespaces.htm

I can not access pages-numbers etc after resetting my mac air

Hi,
I can not find pages-numbers and other office doc after resetting my macbook air.
Even i can not find those prg at appstore/purchases.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible?

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible? In a nutshell I want to point the link to an image in a directory that uses just part of the address.

I know this is something you can do in Maya with linked files. I guess InDesign just isn't there yet.
MW Design - Yeah I think "Relative paths" is the right term! I want to create a Layout with an image in the center of the page - and then duplicate my folder structure with that file. With that, I want to replace the Linked image file with a diferent image file of the same name. In effect having multiple files of the same layout with different images. I hope that made sense.

Can't place and Indesign CS5 created swf back in an Indesign CS5 file?

I hope someone can help me? I have created an animated swf file in Indesign CS5 using the amination and timing panels, for use in an interactive PDF. The swf has exported correctly and plays as expected in the browser. However, when I go to select the swf to place it in my Indesign file its greyed out and unable to be selected.
I have basically tried to follow Rufus Deuchler's method to incorporate animations into a PDF http://tv.adobe.com/watch/csinsider-design/indesign-creating-interactive-pdfs-with-page-tu rn-and-flash-animations/. In the video his swf is available for selection when using the place command and everything else I have found on the web talks about importing swf's into indesign files being a standard feature in CS5 and CS5.5.
I have tried re exporting the swf by different names and to different folders; quitting Indesign and restarting it; trying to place the swf into a completely different indesign file; going through all the Indesign Preferences to see if there is an option to "turn on" swf import and I have even tried following Rufus's steps and export options exactly when creating the swf. Nothing has worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have screen shots and the swf I am trying to import which I can email if that would help anyone ease my growing frustration.
Cheers
Pete

Hi John,
Thanks for the extra information. I did as you suggested and downloaded Onyx and rebuilt the launch services database. But only after finding out that my harddrive was corrupted to some extent after both Onyx and Disk Utility found a problem when I verified my Hard Drive. Anyway I sorted that out, executed the rebuild launch services database via Onyx and unfortunately still no luck with with being able to place a swf in my indesign file. Very frustrating.
The only other thing I thought I would mention is that upon verifying the disk with Onyx it initially presented me with a "Choose Application" dialog box with the question "Where is ARM?" at the top. I didn't know what this meant and I couldn't find any information on the web so I chose "cancel" and then Onyx went through the verification process without a problem and lauched the Onyx application proper. I'm clutching at straws now but I was wondering if not selecting an application could have undermined the rebuilding of the LS datatbase?
Again, and help you or anyone else can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Why can't I place an image from Photos into another program like InDesign?

This was never an issue with iPhoto but I just discovered that I can't place an image into InDesign from Photos. Or any design program for that matter. I only seem to be able to access Photo Booth which is useless. Using Yosemite 10.10.3 and a new iMac.

Maybe Adobe need to update their package - the media browser works just fine from Safari, Pages, etc - same as it did previously with iPhoto and Aperture except now there is the addition of Photos
Contact their support and see what they have to say
Certainly the export work around is more trouble

Can't place pdfs in InDesign CC

Can't place pdfs in InDesign CC as before - message comes up "Cannot crop to bleed box is not defined, or is empty." What happened?

That's a new improved error message apparently. The old one just said
Can't Place PDF (not very helpful, either).
The options are sticky so the prior PDFs must have had bleed.
In any event, I'm glad you got it sorted.

How can I place Tagged Text in InDesign

I use tagged text in the files I place
in InDesign. For example,
<cn>This is the chapter number
<ct>This is the chapter title
<cst>This is the chapter subtitle
<bt>This is the beginning of the body text
<ah>This is an A-level head
and so on. In PageMaker, there was a checkbox in the "place"
dialogue box named "Read tags." I checked that, and when I placed the file in the template (in which I had the styles defined), the whole chapter appeared with the formatting I wanted for each style.
I can't find the equivalent checkbox in InDesign. I can't believe it is no longer there, but search as I do, I can't find it. There is a lot online about exporting tagged text, but where, oh where, is my checkbox for placing tagged text? If someone knows where it is, I'd be very grateful.

How can I place 2 A5 sized pages on an A4 page for printing?

How can I place 2 A5 sized pieces of text on one A4 page for printing?

Hi,
If you want the text to flow from one side to the other, create a new A4 blank landscape document. Set left and right document margins to 1cm:
Type in some placeholder text, select it and set the Layout to 2 equal columns with a 2cm gutter:
Type in the text, it'll end up like this:
If you don't need the text to flow from one side to the other, then an alternative is to draw two equal-sized text boxes and type into them.
