Can I use a formula to show data in a indesign file?

I am wondering if it is possible to pull some data from within a file within indesign or illustrator.  I would like to create a shape filled with CMYK values and then was hoping to create a formula or script that would show the values of the shapes color build.  Is this possible if so how?

DVD@cess works for all sorts of stuff- a link to a website, links to all sorts of files on the disc. It's very cool feature.
One gotcha for PC's: there's a one time install of a little applet needed to be fully functional on a pc- otherwise you'd have to go to the root level of the dvd to open any files.

    I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
    How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!

  • How can I use more lines to show a field of a row in a report?

    How can I use more lines to show a field of a row in a report? Table A have two columns: (c1 number(5),c2 varchar2(1000)).When I show the table on a report,the column c2 show itself in one row.So the width of html page is very wide.How can I split the field c2 to many lines?
    Thanks for any help.

    I was wondering if an answer was found for this one.
    I have the same problem using the default "Look 4" template for the region. I have found in the CSS file where it is defined and it specifies "nowrap" in the style, which is why the long value is not being split over multiple lines.
    So, my question is, without modifying or creating templates, is there a way to override the "nowrap" attribute from within the item definition? e.g. in the Column Attributes.Column Formatting.CSS Style field. I had some success changing the display properties, such as background colour and font size but I can't seen to override the nowrap attribute!

  • Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ?

    Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ? Please help me as its urgent.THanks for your help in advance.

    Hi Jay,
    SSIS can only recognize the absolute path of a XML Configuration file, the relative path is not supported. Furthermore, if the XML Configuration file is already generated, we can use the Environment variable package configuration type instead so that
    SSIS runtime automatically looks for the configuration file from the path defined in the environment variable. This is convenient when we need to deploy a package to different environment. We only need to define the environment variable for package configurations
    once on each server, and then the variable can be used by all the packages on this server.

  • Custom Metadata panel to show linked graphics from InDesign files?

    Hello all,
    I'm looking to create a custom Metadata panel to show linked graphics from InDesign files. I'm not even sure if this is possible. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I figure if you can see the fonts used in an InDesign file, you should probably be able to pull the links, right?
    Thanks for any and all help!

    Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences
    And of course it's essential that the links be up to date.

  • I can't link a specific group of jpgs to an InDesign file, why? How do I fix this?

    I can't link a specific group of jpgs to an InDesign file, why? How do I fix this?

    I am using Adobe Creative Suite 5. My OS X is 10.9.5. So what happens when I try to link 6 specific jpgs is that they are greyed out and I cannot click to open. In this folder there are 20-30 some other jpgs that are functioning just fine in the document. The 6 jpgs used to be linked to my document but once I updated them and tried to relink they became grey and I am now unable to click them. I exported these 6 jpgs from another InDesign file that is not corrupted but is producing  jpgs that are unusable in the creative suite. I can open these jpgs in preview or photoshop even but not InDesign anymore.
