Cannot Get Text Variable to Read Metadata

Hi,
I am having an issue loading XMP Metadata into a text variable. I have tried the following procedure on two computers and no result (Windows 7, InDesign 5.0 and 5.5)
Here is the basic procedure:
1. Create a new InDesign Document.
2. Navigate to FILE > FILE INFO
3. When the XMP data appears, place the word "Test", “Test1”, “Test 2”, and “Test 3” in the Document Title, Author, Author Title, and Description fields and push OK. See Screenshot.
4. Make a text box.
5. Place the text insert cursor in the text box then go to the menu and open TYPE> TEXT VARIABLES > DEFINE.
6. Once the dialog box opens, select NEW...
7. Name the New Text Variable "Author" and select "METADATA CAPTION" for TYPE: and "AUTHOR" for METADATA: then push OK.
8. Press the INSERT button to place the new "Author" text variable into the text box.
Every time I get a <no intersecting link> indication. Can someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong here?

Thanks Steve, you are right on. Was hoping that the Metadata information could be absorbed into the file somehow like you can do in MS Word with the document properties for Title, Date, Revision ect. I now will change my plans and I will put the document information on the Title Page and cross-link it to my headers and footers.
Thanks for the help.

  • So I update from an old DroidX to a Iphone 5 and now I cannot get texts on my 2012 Ford Edge My Touch Sync.  I thought I was upgrading

    So I update from an old DroidX to a Iphone 5 and now I cannot get texts on my 2012 Ford Edge My Touch Sync.  I thought I was upgrading?   Before my text messages would come in and I could have them read to me as I was driving.   I can voice text messages as I am driving with Siri but now I do not receive responses.   Is there a way around this?

    Have you consulted the documentation for your car's system to see if it is compatible with the iPhone?

  • HT3529 i cannot get text message via voice on my ford touch console after uploading the latest ios7 upgrade.

    i cannot get text message via voice on my ford touch console after uploading the latest ios7 upgrade. Is this an issue with the upgrade or is there a setting on the phone that needs to be fixed?

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

  • Can an embedded Flash SWF save and get a variable with Reader?

    My SWF content contains text in different languages.  The user selects a language and it appears.
    Is there a way to store this setting locally so that the correct language appears when the pdf is reopened?
    I only need a two-letter string, like "EN," "FR," "ZH," etc. and the SWF does the rest.
    I've tried calling multimedia_saveSettingsString from the SWF Actionscript, and I've tried setting an Acrobat global variable and setPersistent using Actionscript and local .js files. It works in Acrobat, but not Reader on a users system.
    I also tried using a separate pdf form to store a global variable, and then attempted to get that variable using the SWF Actionscript.
    Could the be an issue with security settings or Acrobat properties?
    I'm not a virtuoso at this, so script examples would help.
    (Windows 7; Actionscript 3; Acrobat 9 and XI are available; Adobe Reader 9 is in the installed base, but I may be able to switch to a higher version of Reader)
    I asked a similar question in the Acrobat Javascript community, but got no responses. I reworded it here with additional detail
    Thanks.

    Here's the section from my example that's linked to the Save and Load buttons. evalText, infoText and replyText are the three TextArea fields.
    Note that it's important to send a string, but return an object and cast it back into a string. EI.call() has no clue what's being sent back from JavaScript.
    // button handlers
    butSave.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSave);
    function doSave(e:MouseEvent):void {
        var rtn:Object = ExternalInterface.call("multimedia_saveSettingsString",evalText.text);
        if (rtn == null) {
            infoText.appendText("Save: REPLY = null");
        } else if (rtn.toString() == "") {
            infoText.appendText("Save: REPLY = empty string");
        } else replyText.appendText("Save: reply = " + rtn.toString());
    butLoad.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doLoad);
    function doLoad(e:MouseEvent):void {
        var rtn:Object = ExternalInterface.call("multimedia_loadSettingsString");
        if (rtn == null) {
            infoText.appendText("Load: REPLY = null");
        } else if (rtn.toString() == "") {
            aT(infoText,"Load: REPLY = empty string");
        } else replyText.appendText("Load: reply = " + rtn.toString());

  • Cannot get texts during a phone call

    I cannot receive texts (iMessage for sure--haven't had any SMS opportunity yet) when I'm on the phone with someone.  Is there a way I can get those texts to come through during a phone call? 

    Ugh.  The other phone did not have "send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable" turned on.  Good thing I noticed that AFTER I posted here.

  • Please Help: Automator to get text from Safari Reader into Text file

    Hello All,
    I was hoping that someone will be able to help me.
    I would like for automator to obtain article text from a website without me having to manually cut and paste it.
    I tried to put together a workflow to get text from webpage, but it unfortunatley get some information that I don't want for eg. Menu Bar Titles and additional links etc. What would be ideal is if I could only extract the data that shows when I use the Safari Reader function.  I have tried a jave Readability Script, but this also extract the same information. Is there anyway someone could please kindly help me out with a nice Applescript or something?
    If there is no way to do this, there could be another solution around this... if there was a way I could use automator to delete the first and last 10 lines of the text document.
    Again, any help will be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    VicandMeliJvR

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your feedback. I would be happy to use a screen capture program, but Quicktime X seems to only allow me to record audio and record the video separately. I will do this as a last resort, but it's a big pain to try to line up the video audio.
    Thank you! I will definitely do this if nothing else works.

  • Did the yosemite upgrade now i cannot get text on mac or iPad

    did the yosemite upgrade and now i'm only getting text on my phone, not my iPad or mac.
    i also had issues with my iCloud password so i had to reset it. is that causing the problem? if so can someone help me fix it.
    i'm use to using all three if needed and now i can only use my phone. HELP!!!

    well, i actually tried that. but i had no luck. not sure why. the strange thing is, up until the upgrade i could text on all 3 and up until yesterday i had never heard of "Handoff System". after the upgrade before this last one all of a sudden i noticed that i could iMessage with people that did not have an iPhone on my iPad and my mac. nothing i did, it just happened.
    when i went into my settings for my iPad i do not have handoff. it's an ipad2 with all updates and upgrades.

  • Text Variables - possible use metadata of the document itself?

    When using text variables, is it possible to pull the metadata from the document itself (as opposed to a placed image, etc.)?
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    If the title of the document was the same as the file name, you could use variables:
    A second way is more manual. You could use the Section Marker field in Numbering & Section Options. You'd have to enter the title in the field. Then on the Master Page, place a text frame, and choose Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Section Marker.
    Best,
    Steve

  • Regd: getting xpath variables by reading xsd of  webservice

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement like reading xmlschema of wsdl file and getting the xpaths out of it. How to get the xpaths by reading wsdl file. Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    what are the "xpaths" that you are trying to get? maybe an example would make it more clear.
    and wsdl/schemas are normal xml, you can read them with any standard xml parser.

  • Cannot get text file to print in jtable. Using text file as a database

    Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button.

    Nothing happens because in the actionPerformed() method you are creating a new version of GUIdirectory. You just want to execute the dbTest() method of the current instance of GUIdirectory.
    The code should be:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
    //GUIdirectory gui = new GUIdirectory();
    //gui.dbTest();
    dbTest();

  • I cannot get my HDTV to read shared files from my iMac

    I have just brought a HDTV live and am having trouble getting it to connect to my mic and read files. I am pretty sure I have all my file sharing settings ok. I read that there are issues with this system and mountain lion is that correct!
    I really need some help as this is driving me nuts!!
    Thanks

    I have it all connected to my wifi network and to the tv. But when I try and access my files on the Mac from the HDTV it says that it cannot connect to the files and to check that the files are shared.
    Could this have something to do with Samba being removed on Mountain Lion? Do you know of a fix?
    Thanks
