Discuss Advanced Integration with InDesign Server

This is a topic that will be presented at the May 11th-15th Creative Suite Developer Summit. Use this thread to discuss the presentation.

AFAIK DSP has part of the production workflow NOT inside InDesign, so also InDesign Server alone can not be used to produce a digital magazine automatically. So its not about blocking, but having a better integration of the different parts into basic InDesign.
Whether this will happen in the near or medium to far future (CS6, CS7...) we all don't know, but if they were integrated they possibly would be available in InDesign Server API/SDK too, as the code base is pretty much the same (except for the whole Java interfacing).
IMHO InDesign will NEVER integrate all these production steps, as DPS is a lot about multimedia production workflow. A workflow system aka Woodwing for instance therefore is a wise solution to look at. Especially, as you can start at as low as €169 monthly with Enterprise 7 for DPS integration (in the near future with Enterprise 7.5).

  • DPS integration with InDesign Server

    Is there a way to integrate DPS functionality (create, upload, share folios) with InDesign Server, e.g. through the scripting API?
    Suppose I have an automated InDesign workflow and I want to publish the result to acrobat.com. Is this possible? Is this planned for a future version?
    I found a reference to the "Folio Producer SDK" in the DPS buying guide but could find any other information about this at all...
    Thanks

  • Tagging TextFrames With InDesign Server - not showign in desktop?

    Hi all,
    Ive come across a weird issue with marking up text frames with InDesign Server (CS3) whilst processing xml rules during an xml import.
    I run the following code on desktop it works fine. When run on server, it works apart from the frames will not highlight when "Show Tagged Frames" is selected.
    (code cut for brevity)..
    //..open a new doc, import the xml file, process the rule set.
    function AddTextFrame(element)
    this.name = "AddTextFrame";
    this.xpath = "//textFrame";
    this.apply = function(element, myRuleProcessor)
    with(element)
    var frame = page.textFrames.add();
    //...frame geometry code goes here...
    markup(frame);
    As Ive stated, the code is functionally fine on desktop and server, but the tagged frames will not highlight when the document is created on server?
    Ive tried numerous work arounds (placeIntoFrame etc) but to no avail.
    Any ideas, is this a known/expected behaviour?
    Cheers, Scott

    After much local experimentation and iteration with Adobe tech support, we have a fix for Problem nr. 1: cannot define the port that works in our environment (IDS CS4 running as a service, Windows 2008 Server).
    Add this parameter to your server startup command line for each instance of InDesign Server you're running:
    -ORBendPoint giop:tcp:<serverIP>:<portNumber>
    where
    <serverIP> is the static IP of the server that is running IDS. Note: The OmniOrb docs imply that you can use the server's domain name here, but that didn't work for us. 127.0.0.1 also did not work. The IP number does work. This might help your Problem nr. 2: wrong IP address in the application IOR if you set it to the IP you want to listen on, but we have no experience with that.
    <portNumber> is the port you want IDS (via OmniOrb) to listen on. If you're running multiple instances as we are, each instance should have its own unique port number.
    I completely agree that, as an enterprise product, IDS's default behavior of boldly going where no one has gone before in your port space at each restart is not the way to play nice in a firewalled, enterprise environment. This should be documented in Adobe's Introduction to InDesign Server in the command line parameter discussions, it would have saved us a lot of time

  • Problem with InDesign Server CS5

    Hi all,
    when i run from prompt (of Windows Server 2008) the command "InDesign Server.com -port 18383" the system respond "Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit", until some days ago the InDesign Server work perfecly. What i do for that issue ? I try to run cthe command "InDesignServer.com -serilanumber xxxxxx" and the command "InDesignServer.exe -serilanumber xxxxxxx" but doesn't work (the system says me the same think "Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed etc etc"). What can i do ?
    Thank you in advance
    Luca

    If you are using CS6, you need to link the installation to an Adobe ID. The simplest way to do that is input the Adobe ID while you install, but you can use the tools (I forget off hand what they are called) to do that afterwards.

  • WLC not integrating with Radius Server

    Hello world,
    I have the following situation:
    One WLC 2000 Series (software version 7.0.230.0) with multiple SSID`s, one is with 802.1x integrated with a Radius Server.
    Everything worked fine until fiew days ago, when users were unable to logon via they`re certificates on Windows XP.
    The infrastracture didn`t suffer modifications.
    What i have checked: Radius certification isn`t expired, client certification isn`t expired, the password between controller and Radius is correct.
    There are no ACL`s between the WLC and the remote Server. I can ping the devices, other SSIDs on the same controller (wpa/psk) are working correct.
    The AP`s are 1242.
    I have tried deleting the SSID, configure it back. The OS on Windows Server is  2003 Standard. The AP`s are configured H-Reap.
    I have increased the Server Timeout from Radius Authentication Servers from 2 to 30 sec.
    The message logs recived on WLC Trap Logs:
    RADIUS server X.X.X.X:1812 failed to respond to request (ID 161) for client xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx/ user 'unknown'

    Can anyone help why i cannot log the users via 802.1x ?

    Okay that is good..... this is what I would do next.  I would create a test ssid that uses PEAP MSchapv2 and create a new policy in IAS that is basic.  Allow 802.1x wireless and user group only and see if you can reconfigure one of the XP machines for PEAP.  Can you also post a screen shot of your polices (connection and network) so we can review it. 

  • Portal integration with Exchange server 2003 issues.

    Hello,
    We are using NW04s EP 7.0 SP16 and Exchange server 2003. We are trying to perform OWA and Groupware integration. Both the servers are in the same domain.
    I have followed all the steps in the notes and documents available there in SDN. There are few issues:
    1) The latest KerbMap filter has been configured in Exchange backend server. SAP note 785343 says that the exchange frontend server needs to be configured for anonymous authentication to enable pass-through authentication. But doing this breaks the form based authentication in exchange server, and it also poses security risk when the backend exchange server is behind the firewall. How do we enable pass-through authentication so that the exchange frontend passes the mysapsso2 cookie to the exchange backend server?
    2) When I try to create an appointment or try to view the appointments, it gives an error message saying " No logon data found for system Exchange". The Exchange system has been configured for SAP Logon Ticket, and the user mapping fields were left empty. Why should it prompt for user mapping when the logon method is "SAP Logon Ticket"?
    There are many documents out there, but none is the latest with clear steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
    Thanks,
    ~Yasin

    As far as I remember, when Exchange 2003 is installed on a Domain Controller, it uses the local DC as a GC. You need to set back the 2003 DC as GC and restart it.
    I believe, you are aware that demoting/promoting a DC with Exchange server on it is not supported by MS. The best approach is to:
    Introduce an Exchange 2010 member server
    Move all resources from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010
    Decommission Exchange 2003
    Demote the 2003 DC

  • Problem with InDesign server - Server slows down fast

    My javascript code iterates the pages of the InDesign Document and searches for the text frames with some special character style.
    I found some samples from Jongware :
    sourcelist = app.activeDocument.findText()
    and
    sourcelist = app.activeDocument.pages[p].textFrames[f].findText();
    if I use the first variant the memory goes to ca. 1.2GB (the server has 4GB), the search is completed in ca. 2 minutes but InDesign Server works incredibly slow.
    The problem is I have to find a page for each text found.
    If I use second variant the memory goes high slowly and so each iteration needs more time.
    After 300th page InDesign Server needs up to 30-40 seconds to process the page.
    (First pages are processed 3-4 per second)
    I tried several possible implementations, like
    for each page
         var actualPage = pages[i]
         for each frame
              var actualFrame = frames[i]
              var sourceList = searchText(actualFrame)
                   parseText(sourceList)
    or
    var actualPage=null,  actualFrame = null, sourceList = null;
    for each page
         actualPage = pages[i]
         for each frame
              actualFrame = frames[i]
              sourceList = searchText(actualFrame)
                   parseText(sourceList)
    I've tried functions with local variables. Nothing changes.
    Processing of the first 50 pages is really fast, but the test document has 630 pages.
    And I have no ideas how to make InDesign continue to work fast.
    Have someone had similar problem? Any ideas?

    To clarify my comment on pages:
    JavaScript objects referencing a native InDesign object have an internal representation for their "address" in the DOM, a textual form (similar to an XPath) is available via toSpecifier(). The specifier starts at the document and then follows collections (e.g. pages) and collection accessors (e.g. itemByID()) to finally reach the same object.
    You can see that the specifier of the document before and after the close/open roundtrip changes in CS5 or later (different document ID), where CS4 used a different specifier form (itemByName() for the document) . The renumbered document ID renders previous references to the same page invalid - see the isValid property. If you want to revive such a stale object reference across close/open, you can remember the page ID and use your reopened document's myDoc.pages.itemByID() method to get to the same object.
    Regarding your other performance problem: print the output of the ExtendScript helper function "$.summary()" before and after the code sequence in question, or compute the differences. You may want to precede that with two explicit calls for the garbage collection "$.gc()" - yes, double invokation seems to be more thorough. Sometimes you find memory leaks that way, for example caused by the javascript "closure" design pattern (all those "Workspace" objects).

  • [VB] Opening PageMaker layouts with InDesign Server

    I have numerous PageMaker 7.0 layouts that I need to open with a script running on InDesign CS4 Server.  These layouts open correctly using InDesign CS4 Desktop.  InDesign does a conversion on the layout but they do open correctly.  Does anyone know how to open these layouts from a script?
    When I attempt to open these layouts, using the Application.Open method, I get the following error:
              Cannot open the file "test.pmd".  Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing.
    Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sheldon

    Hi Sheldon,
    With CS4, InDesign Server no longer supports opening PageMaker files. This info is included in the Release Notes. InDesign CS4 will still open them so you could pursue a solution there.

  • NAC Integrated with Guest Server

    Hi all,
    I encountered a problem which happened when I integrated NAC with Guest Server.
    Hope I can find solution here!
    When I create an account in Guest Server, the account will also be created in NAC as local user.
    If I chose "Time Profile - Start-End", the account will be created in NAC.
    But if I chose "Time Profile - from First Login", the account will not be created in NAC.
    So the guest can't login with this account using "Time Profile - from First Login".
    All the configuration in the document including "Radius Client and Accounting" was correctly configured.
    But I still can't find the solution.
    Please answer me if you know the answer. Thanks a lot!!!!

    Hi Jet Li,
    This should be expected since only time profiles with start-end are supported when integrating NGS with the NAC Appliance solution:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/guestserver/configuration_guide/20/g_guestpol.html#wp1063409

  • WebGate 10.1.4.3 integration with IIS server

    Need help with OAM WebGate on IIS 7
    WebGate version is 10.1.4.3 and according to docs it is compatible with IIS 7. IIS is running on x64 windows- in 32 bit mode.
    However, I am running into issues with the webgate integration with ISAPI (the plugin).
    The installation has gone fine, however, the webgate does not seem to be integrated with the ISAPI plugin.
    The protected url is not being protected.
    The following post refers that with IIS7 and webgate 10.1.4.3 - one has to manually configure the WebServer. ie during installation of the webgate, it asks whether you want to do it manually or let the install program do it automatically for you. This post says that one has to do this manually. Here is the reference
    OAM WebGate 10g for IIS 7
    Has anyone noticed this behavior?
    How to check in the IIS server or local webgate install that the webserver is integrated with webgate?

    You can see list of ISAPI filters in IIS Manager -> Connections Pane (at root or specific web site) -> ISAPI filters
    In the list you should see oam webgate dll in isapi filter section.
    http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/isapifilters
    Also to verify if webgate has been enabled on iis server , you can hit http(s)://web site/obrar.cgi .. This is a special webgate url and if you hit this directly webgate would correctly respond back with error message (Oracle Access Manager operation error).
    Did you create policies in OAM to protect specific urls ? If not then you should create policy.

  • Use AD with InDesign Server

    Hi,
    we use adobe bridge CS5 with adobe drive 2.1 and version cue CS4 - everything works fine!
    now we try to connect our InDesign Server CS4 and CS5 with VC CS4 through AD 2.1, means
    our IDS should generate pagepics or pdfs from InDesign documents.
    Everything works fine while the IDS and ID use a normal UNC path for a picture link.
    but now, if the picture is placed in indesign and it is linked to version cue (through drive)
    the ids could "see" the link, but can't use it to generate the pagepic or the pdf.
    the server does not sent a reasonable error or warning, it just generates the pagepics by using the picture
    thumbnail. for example: if we placed an illustrator .ai file in the Indesign document the
    server will only show a grey area in the pagepic instead of the right .ai file.
    if the server tries to generate the pdf, it stops with error announcement: "error while generating the pdf file"
    the IDS works on a windows 2008 R2 server. VC CS4 is also hosted on the same server.
    we tried to solve the problem by hosting version cue on a mac or an other windows machine,
    but the problem is still the same. we know that IDS is not listed in the system requirement list
    of Adobe Drive but maybe there could be a solution to use it anyway?!
    thx for all helpful answers!
    greetings

    Stineson-
    Hi I was wondering if you ever overcame this the issue with bad IDS link to an Adobe Drive volume. I'm trying to do the samething for a different purpose. When I place a piece of art on an InDesign page from Adobe Drive the HFS path looks normal.
    When I see IDS process the same file, with the same availability to the art. I get the following logging in IDS:

  • Looking for software that allows CMS integration with InDesign.

    Looking for catalog production people who have already found a solution to this problem.
    We have a content management system that serves as our data warehouse for our catalog and product information. This data includes information from Marketing, Accounting, and Engineering and is used with our on line catalog and data extracts for customers. Our goal is to extend the use of this system to include an interface to the printed catalog process.
    Immediate goal would be to provide keyed access by product key into InDesign for pricing and technical specifications. Design staff needs to have keyed access to additional catalog information used in the catalog sections, headings, and product descriptions including bullets and paragraph information.
    We are looking for software that can act as a "bridge" between InDesign and our CMS. We need a software company that can provide training and support for the InDesign users and documentation allowing IT to support new processes including the possible use of apple scripting and automator scripts.
    Our IT staff has the database skills to manage and change the CMS database as needed by this project including custom tables and views. Our CMS is available using a MySql server running on Lunix. This is a dynamic copy of our primary CMS from a DB2/400 server.
    We have looked at a variety of software packages, but I have found you learn so much more when you actually USE the software. I would like to avoid any more expensive dead ends.
    Thanks for any input.
