Drawings in the Flow of InDesign
Is there a way to draw objects in a frame or table box that will allow the image to move if text is moved?
For example, on page 1 I have text that explains the widget. On page 2, I have a drawing of a widget. On Page 3, I have text that explains producing the widget.
If I am using an illustrator drawing, I place the artwork in a table and If I cut the page 2 and move it elsewhere, the artwork moves with it. Or if I place a new page before page 2, the artwork stays with the text. Can something similar be done with a drawing made with the InDesign Tools?
you need to anchor your drawing in text:

How to place the images in Indesign xml file by Javascript?
How to place the images in Indesign xml file by Javascript?
We got the Indesign xml file, how to give the image placement link by Indesign javascript? Please help me its urgent.Hi,
You can pass the image url as a href attribute=> file:///Users/me/Documents/my_pic.jpg directly within your xml. It just needs that you pass a local, static and valid url.
If you want to add image later once the xml is flowed and so target specific nodes and inject images, it's a bit more complex. If the node is not part of the layout, you may try to reach the XMLElement objet and such an attribute, then layout the element.
var x = some XMLElement
x.xmlAttributes.add("href","file:///Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" );
If already placed, then you have to get the associated pageItem, then place your file into it.
pagItm.place ( File ( "/Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" ) );
Hope that helps,

When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign
When importing from a Word document placing the text in InDesign I can only see the text from the first page of the Word document. I have increased the number of pages in the Indesign document to more than what is in the Word document, still only text from the first page is shown. What am I doing wrong or did I not set a setting correctly?
When you want to auto flow text while placing, hold down the Shift key when clicking with the Place cursor on the first page. New pages will be generated and text will be auto flowed using the margins set up on the master page.

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design?
What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design? I'd like to know the advantages and features – all those I read about are to do with EPUB, collaborative working, teams or digital designs, and those don't reflect my work.
Very important is the span column paragraph property which allows to span several columns in a text frame or to split a column in several sub columns.
Very important is the tag feature, which is also important for creating PDFs with unlimited access.
A lot of problems with footnotes and page layout have been solved due to a better text engine. Up to CS5.5 it could happen that a footnote could force a page be empty when a document was opened.
With CS5 rounded frame corners which are editable were introduced.
Object Styles have been completed since CS3.
Content tools to create linked content were introduced. You need only to change the original content (text or image) and all linked content will be updated as any other link. The linked content can be in the same and in any other document.
Since CS5.5 it is much easier to anchor frames in a text flow with the little at the top of a frame symbol. -
Symbols do not flow into InDesign from standard text file
Within our application, we have the option to type in symbols within a text editor. Symbols include the copyright, registered, and trademark symbols. We then take the text that is typed in and merge the text to a standard text file, then place that file within InDesign CS3. At one think those symbol flowed in perfectly, but recently those symbols do not flow into InDesign on their own. What could be causing this problem.
Any body have any thoughts?
Thanks,
BrianYou can get these three (serif) characters in Symbol with
<0xF6D9><0xF6DA><0xF6DB>. Your three characters come in pink (which
means they don't exist in the font). It could be that they used to work
because you had a different Symbol font loaded. I always seem to have at
least three Symbol fonts (T1, TT, OT) going, even though I try to only
have one.
But why bother with the font change? These characters are ANSI: © ALT
0169, ® ALT 0174, ALT 0153. You should be able to see them in your
text editor and in just about every decent text font.

Error while checking the flow of bpel process in bpel console
Hi Experts
I have created one bpel process which invokes task manager for approving or rejecting the leave request. I ve successfully deployed the bpel process and also able to test approve or reject the leave request . But i am facing one error
when i am initiate a bpel process and started to check the flow of that bpel process in bpelconsole it gives me some error message in small pop up like
error : Internal/ bug ( #589 )
\u017E is not defined
i click Ok and after this no error and all working well.
Thanks.A quick answer is:
1. make sure you defined the Application/Integration Server in your developer (user/pass you have - if not oc4jadmin then one the IT gave you).
2. Deploy your project to that server.
3. Choose the correct domain in the Console when deploying.
Is this what you wanted to know??? -

How to track the flow of Sharepoint SSRS report requests to troubleshoot slowness
How to track the flow of requests of Integrated SSRS report links in Sharepoint.
We are using SSRS with Sharepoint for reporting purpose. The issue is some of the reports get generated fast and some other reports generation is very slow. When the sql query of these reports RDL file is executed, the records are shown fast.
Also even on clicking the "Add Subscription" link of "Manage Subscriptions" of a report is very slow for some reports, while it is fast for other reports.
I tried enabling SQL profiler to track the requests. I have checked profiler log for the SQL statements with exec sp_executesql. But they are not helpful.
Pls advice on how to track the request of flow of SSRS report request in sharepoint and how to troubleshoot the slowness in "Add Subscription" link, response of some reports.Hi Pradeesh,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to track SharePoint SSRS report requests to troubleshoot the performance.

A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8. After what appears to be a successful installati
on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
architecture" comes up". Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
ation" when launching afterwards. The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility. I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
ties. Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
r. When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up". Followed KB404711 article and no success. What else can be don
e to fix this issue?
This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
issue i came across
to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements for
Adobe Indesign Cs4
by going to the following link
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE you
will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response. In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me. Until then I am down. Thanks for the help.In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again. -
Help required in understanding the flow of control in working with EJB 3.0
*1. Can anyone help me in understanding the flow after getting an object of InitialContext in using Stateless/Stateful in EJB 3.0 from client i.e. what we are getting in the step Object ref=jndiContext.lookup("CalculateBean/Remote) .*
*2. What is the use of INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY*
*3. PROVIDER_URL*
*4. Java.naimg.factory.url.pkgs*
*5. why org.jboss.naming and org.jnp.interfaces separated by semi colon.*
*6. Why we dont require INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, PROVIDER_URL and Java.naming.factory.url.pkgs if the client is a web client.*
Properties p=new Properties();
p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"jnp://localhost:1099");
p.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
Context jndiContext = new InitialContext(p);
Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("CalculateBean/Remote");
Calculate c = (Calculate)ref;
int sum=c.add(3,4);
System.out.println(sum);
Thanx in advance........Annotations can also be processed at run time using the core reflection API (java.lang.Class & java.lang.reflect.*), so you might want to explore down that path. I have no idea how JBoss actually does it, but annotation processing at build time and core reflection at runtime are the two most obvious possibilities.

How to find the flow of procedures?
Hi we are using 11gR2. I have a procedure Proc_Cust_Rpt(id NUMBER);
This procedure has two procedure calls inside it in an IF-THEN-ELSE condition. But at a time for the given input parameter only one of them is called. Again, inside the child procedures multiple procedures get called, but at a time only one of them will get called depending on the parameters passed. Then again there is one more level like this.
What are the ways I can find out the flow of procedures depending on the parameter id passed? I want to avoid using DBMS_OUTPUT or a logging procedure to find the flow.>

You need to do it the 'old fashioned' way: review the code and analyze those IF-THEN-ELSE conditions just like you have described.
That will result in what is known as a 'truth table' that lists each of the TRUE/FALSE conditions for each IF-THEN-ELSE and the result of each possible boolean combination of those values.
See the Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_table
Here is another article that shows how you create a truth table - the first example is pretty simple.

Change the flow of the BPEL service based on WSDL operation
Hi,
I have a wsdl which has three types on operations:
1) SOAP
2) HTTP GET
3) HTTP POST
I have a BPEL process in which the flow need to be decided on basis of operation of the incoming message... i.e; If it is a SOAP then I should execute a particular flow .. similarly if it is HTTP GET or POST I need to perform different activities flows respectiviely.
1) At the BPEL side can I implement this using PICK activity with different branches for different operations in Receive activity ?? If not, Please let me know any other alternative ...
2) Since I have three different types of Protocols of operations (SOAP, HTTP GET, HTTP POST), how do I give input to BPEL through the same partnerlink ?? Should I use three partner links to invoke a bpel process (at Exposed Services side) to receive input from (two HTTP Adapters for GET, POST and one for SOAP operation) ?
Thanks
Edited by: bpeltechie on Jul 2, 2012 4:01 PMHi,
Can you make one thing clear please - Your bpel process by definition has 3 operations to start with, or you want to call a WS with 3 operations?
See more information on using SOAP header here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/dev.1111/e10224/bp_manipdoc.htm#CIHFCBAD
If you need to call a WS with 3 operations, you have to use an invoke activity(x3). Meaning, you can:
1. Seperate your process into 3, according to the needed operation. Each process will execute one operation.
2. Use some logic and call the same partner link 3 times(3 invokes), each time with a different operation.
A pick activity will help you when you want to receive one message or more, and/or you want to have time limitation on the receive.
For understanding the pick activity - in your example, let's say the WS you are calling is a bpel process. Then, it will start with a pick activity, and according to the operation, it will execute the right flow.

I have a photo of an ice surface and another of a flower. Now I want to create a merged photo with the flower lying under the ice. I understand that I shall use the function "Layer" and have even read in the manual and looked on a video, but that information is not sufficiently detailed for me. I have tried several options, but I come now way. Generally it seems that your information is only for the ones who can, not for the people who can´t although it is we who really need to learn. Please give me a step by step (click by click) information on how I can get the ice above the flower and then make the ice partly transparent so the flower is seen underneath. Please send me an e-mail Erik Solbu [email protected]
Open a new document big enough for your image. Then additional open your ice and flower image as well. Copy each and paste it into your blank document. They will be placed on their own separate layers.
Make sure in your layers panel. (Bottom right) the ice is above the flower, by dragging it in place. In that same layers panel click the ice layer to select in and find the opacity meter above. Drag to the left until you get the effect you desire. -
