Converting InDesign CS3 document to HTML - windows vista premium

I have created a beautiful (for me) document that I want to post on several blogs. I have been told it needs to be in HTML but I do not see any options on the file menu to export as an HTML. What do I do.
(I tried exporting it as a PDF and then providing a link in the blog but the problem is that it is a large (3mb) and it takes a "long" time to load, and if any of the links are accessed, when you go back to the PDF it has to reload which is frustrating for anybody that wants to study the document.

Arthur,
You can't export the document directly to HTML, but you can use the Cross-Media Export to make and XHTML file for Dreamweaver (or other editor). It will generate an HTML page and a blank CSS style sheet, as well as gathering the images, but web and print are entirely different formats so you won't have anything resembling your ID doc when you get through, as far as layout is concerned. If you want people to see your layout as is, you need to use PDF. Try changing the compression settings for the export to bring the size down, but it will be a compromise somewhere most likely.

Hi,
I am beginner in Indesign Plugin development.
I want to export a Indesign CS3 document as PDF programmatically. I
know that we need to use IPDFExportPrefs and set the various

Can anybody give the code to implement it.
Or any reference to find it.

How can I convert an Applework document to .doc (Windows)?

Does anyone know how can I convert an Applework document to .doc (Windows)?

You can save an AppleWorks word processing document as Word using File > Save As… You will need to add the .doc extension as AppleWorks won't do it for you.
If you don't see Word as an option in the file type drop-down menu you likely have moved the AppleWorks application from the AppleWorks 6 folder and/or deleted the support folders, especially the AppleWorks Essentials folder where the translators reside.

Opening InDesign CS3 documents in CS4

I am hoping someone from Adobe can help me with this question. Here is the scenario:
I work on the support team in a prepress environment where we get hundreds of client supplied InDesign files weekly. Some clients supply their files in InDesign CS3 and some supply the files in InDesign CS4. We have both applications.
From our experience, we have found that if we open a InDesign CS3 document using InDesign CS4, there is a potential for items to disappear in the document. I don't know what changed from 3 to 4 to cause this problem. This has happened to us more than one time and we have experienced money losses due to on press errors.
One would say, as we have, if the document is supplied in InDesign CS3, work on it in InDesign CS3. Easy enough, right?
Well, not really. If you have CS3 and CS4 both installed on your mac at the same time, simply double-clicking on the file will default to CS4 (since it is newer).
We have told our operators that they need to identify what version the file was created in; which is not the easiest thing either.
If you "get info" on the file, you do not get accurate information. It may say "CS4", even if it is "CS3", I think this is because your system is reading what the newest application that you have install is.
I have found that by dragging the file over the CS3 icon in the doc, it will attempt to open the file in CS3 and if it truly is a CS4 document, you will get plugin errors and the file won't open. This works, but my 38 mac operators are so used to just double-clicking a file to open it, they sometimes forget to do it my way, and thats when we get errors.
Is there a plugin available that would prompt you, when double -clicking on a file as to what version it is, or what version InDesign that you would like to open the file in?
What did Adobe change in InDesign CS4 that would cause items to disappear or change when working on CS3 documents in CS4?
Thank you in advance.

First, this is a user forum, not an official Adobe support site, so you aren't talking to Adobe employees for the most part.
Second, though it is subtle, there is a visible difference between the icons for file created in CS3 and CS4, but you do need to look.
There is (or perhaps it's now "was") a known issue with master items disappearing when placing one ID file into another in CS4. Be sure your copies are updated to the latest patch. Another reason to avoid opening CS3 files in CS4 is potential differences in text flow due to text engine differences which will affect how lines break.
If you want to train your people in a hurry, tell them the next time you have to re-run a job because they opened it in the wrong version you'll deduct the cost from their pay.

Having upgraded to Firefox 24 it will now not start at all after clicking on the icon. My OS is Windows Vista premium. It will start in safe mode.

Upgraded to Firefox 24 and now nothing at all works despite uninstalling and reinstalling it several times and losing all my bookmarks etc. However it does start in safe mode. At first I thought it was my security Norton 360 but after 2 hours in contact with them I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I can see the cursor timing out and then it just disappears and nothing loads.
My OS is Windows Vista Premium and I am using Windows internet explorer at the moment.
HELP please!!!

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Trying to download windows vista premium on macbook pro

i just bought windows vista premium from microsoft market place then tried to download it .... not working ... please advise

In order to install Windows Vista using Boot Camp on a Mac you will need the disk version, as the install process will not be able to read the downloaded files from the Mac drive.
If the download hasn't downloaded then you may wish to check with Microsoft.

How can I find the total word count in my entire Indesign CS3 document?

I have a book that consists of 10 different files and many many different text boxes. I need to find out what the total word count is for the entire book. Is there a simple way to do this, or do I have to copy and paste all the text from InD into a word file to get the number? Your help is much appreciated.

This AppleScript will get the total word counts of a folder of ID files—it shouldn't be too hard to convert to JavaScript if you are not using OSX:
tell application "Finder"
activate
set myFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select the folder containing the files to count"
set myFiles to every file of folder myFolder whose file type is "IDd5"
end tell
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set wordcounts to {}
set total to 0
repeat with j from 1 to (number of items in myFiles)
open item j of myFiles
tell active document
tell every story
set wordcounts to wordcounts & (count every word)
end tell
set totalstories to count every item of wordcounts
repeat with i from 1 to totalstories
set total to total + (item i of wordcounts)
end repeat
close
end tell
end repeat
display dialog "The documents in the selected folder have a total of " & totalstories & " stories, and " & total & " words"
end tell
========================================
If you just want the active document's count it would be:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell active document
set wordcounts to {}
tell every story
set wordcounts to wordcounts & (count every word)
end tell
set total to 0
set totalstories to count every item of wordcounts
repeat with i from 1 to totalstories
set total to total + (item i of wordcounts)
end repeat
display dialog "Total words in all " & totalstories & " stories: " & total
end tell
end tell

Converting InDesign CS3 files to Word Files

I am running InDesign CS3 and I need to know the best way to convert an InDesign document to a Word Document 2003.

You might try printing the ID file to PDF, then exporting the PDF from Acrobat to Word. There are still some issues, but Acrobat 8 does a fair job of retaining the formatting and styles. This assumes, of course, that you have Acrobat 8...

Convert doc/xls document to html

Good morning,
I'am sorry if my post isn't in the appropriate category. I would like to convert an Excel document (.xls) and an Word document to html using Java.
Do you know if exists an API which permits to do that ? I tried to use Poi but it converts my read xls File to Text file and don't really translate the contain.
Thanks a lot

BIJ001, I know exactly what you are requesting. I too am using Apache POI and have the same dilemma. If you already found a solution please let me know. I am starting to look now.
Apache POI doesn't support the XLS to HTML conversion. There are Win APIs out there and I will try and assist.
Thanks, Bobby

How to access indesign cs3 document through VC++

Hello
i am new to VC++, i need to communiacte Indesign CS3 through VC++, for this what can i do? inorder to access indesign docuemnts,
i also need to access a Third party API for CS3 through VC++, for the two puproses, i dont have any idea, so
kindly help me
with regards,
ram

Hi ram As Olav has pointed out, you need to decide whether to use COM or SDK. SDK is hard core - and I really mean HARD CORE. I consider myself to be a reasonably good VC++ programmer, but when I tried to develop an InDesign plug-in using SDK and VC++ I was completely lost. However it is possible to use VC++ to control InDesign via the COM object. Here is what you should do: 1) Make a new VC++ project (MFC, MFC Application) 2) In Wizard dialog select Dialog Based and leave everything else unchanged (simply press Next) 3) You now have a simple empty dialog with 2 buttons 4) Double-click the OK button 5) Insert the following code (before OnOK()): // COM support required for this // Call CoInitialize() to initialize the COM library on the current thread if(::CoInitialize(NULL) != S_OK) return; // Create instance of InDesign Application InDesign::_ApplicationPtr app; // Use the appropriate version here // This string will be used to search the registry for the application // associated with it and the same is invoked. // If you have different builds of the same version and you want to work // with a specific build, call CreateProcess() for that build and then // call CreateInstance() so that the currently running instance is returned. app.CreateInstance(L"InDesign.Application.CS3"); // Open existing document InDesign::DocumentPtr doc = app->Open("C:\\InDesign\\myDocument.indd", true); InDesign::PagePtr page = doc->Pages->FirstItem(); InDesign::TextFramePtr textFrame = doc->TextFrames->FirstItem(); textFrame->Contents = "Hello world"; 6) Go to the start of the file 7) Insert the following code before // CAboutDlg dialog used for App About // Required for calling COM initialization methods #include <objbase.h> // Import InDesign's Type Library #import "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Scripting Support\5.0\Resources for Visual Basic.tlb" 8} Build and run the project (F5). When you press OK, InDesign should launch, open your document, find the first page, find the first TextFrame and replace the text (contents) with "Hello world" How to get in contact with your third-party API is a completely different ball game (not in the scope of this forum), but at least you now have a VC++ project with header files etc. If your third-party API is indeed an InDesign plug-in, I totally agree with Olav that you have to direct your questions to the SDK forum. Best regards, Bo

How to learn Indesign CS3 SDK programming for windows

Hi, I am very new to plugin development.I am working in Indesign CS3 SDK (windows). But I am not able to write /understand the syntax of InterfacePtr. for eg : InterfacePtr<IClassIDData> orgDocFileHandlerData(doc, IID_ORGICLASSIDDATA); We get Pointer of any Interface , and pass some arguments . So can anybody help how to learn this programming , I am not finding any books or tutorials on this so that I can read from the basic. I have only referred to Programming Guide(CS3). Can anybody please help/explain me how to learn it? Thanks. Ravi Sharma

It's only my way of understanding about InDesign SDK : * SDK objects are know as 'boss(es)' and are accessed thru interfaces. * You can imagine object as collection of interfaces. And you can even aggregate new interfaces to existing objects. * When you have a reference to an interface of a boss, you can access other interfaces (of the same boss - or object) using the *amazing* syntax : (here, doc is a probably an IDocument interface on a kDocBoss object, and you want to access it's IClassIDData interface) InterfacePtr<IClassIDData> orgDocFileHandlerData(doc, IID_ORGICLASSIDDATA); * And finally, InterfacePtr has a reference counter, which allows the framework to destroy the interface object - not the boss of course, only the memory used by the object - when it's non mre referenced. HTH !

Indesign CS3 Crashes Randomly on Windows x64, Dual Monitor Setup

My coworker and I just had our computers upgraded Windows XP 64-bt on the following computer setup:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz CPU
8GB DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte GA-EX58 Intel X58 Motherboard
1TB Seagate ES.2 7200rpm 32MB Cache SATAII Hard Drive
We're running CS3. Indesign keeps crashing on her machine, randomly from what we can tell. It runs fine on my machine.
We are running Indesign in compatibility mode for Windows XP on both machings (the crashing was much worse before we turned it on).
The only difference between my computer and the workstation where Indesign CS3 crashes is she has a dual monitor setup.
Any thoughts on what might be causing it?

Thanks for the heads up.We're actually kinda banking on Windows 7 to be a bit more stable and switch to that, but it's a long few months when your program crashes every few minutes.
I just realized that we don't have the latest update (5.0.4) on her machine, we've downloaded it and are hoping that will help to at least reduce the crashing...

Convert Multipage fireworks document to HTML file

You can export multiple pages in a single step by selecting all the pages you want to export at once.
-In the Pages panel, select the pages that you want to export.
-Right-click, and select Export Selected Page(s).
-In the Export dialog box, select one of the options from the Export menu:
