Embed images in a bunch of closed indd files.

We need to batch process a ton of InDesign files. Specifically, we need to be able to copy a few hundred files to a new server. At the same time, these copied versions need to have their images embedded. Doe anyone have an idea how to do this?

I don't know why you need to embed the images? Embedding the images just makes the image part of the indesign file, so you get the same size in disk space usage, whether the files are just linked or embedded.
The quick way, probably messy, would be to make a new book, File>New>Book and in the Panel Options (the arrow at top right) go to the Book Page Numbering Options and untick the Automatically Update document page numbering.
Drag all the indeisgn files you want in there.
And from the same menu as before, choose to package the book for print. This will gather up all the files you have used, images, fonts, indesign files etc, copy them to your desired location and relink all the images back to the file.
So the advantage is that all the indesign files are in one place
All the indesign files link to the images on the new location (in your case the server).
All the images will be centrally stored in 1 folder instead of having loads and loads of image folders.
The disadvantages are vice versa of the advantages. all the files under one roof. Which may not be desireable.
The only way I know of to embed the images is to open each file and manually do it.
The Book Option might be favourable, it might not.

How to embed images in an INX file using script

Hi All,
Kindly help me in embedding images in INX file using Indesign Javascript.
I have used the following code to embed images in an indd document and exporting that document to inx. But the images in inx are not embedded by default.
var linksCount = myDocument.links.count();
var linksOnPage = myDocument.links;
for(var x=0;x<linksCount;x++){
 var linkedItem = linksOnPage.item(0);
 linkedItem.unlink();
myDocument.save(new File("filename.indd"));
myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_INTERCHANGE, File("filename.inx"), app.pdfExportPresets.item("[Press Quality]"));
Thanks in advance,
Anitha

Hi
I think your script has two mistakes
you embed only first link image in for loop => set x for linksOnPage
exporting to inx isnot need PDF export preset => remove app.pdfExportPresets.item("[Press Quality]") from exportFile()
this work for me.
myDocument = app.documents[0];
var linksCount = myDocument.links.count();
var linksOnPage = myDocument.links;
for(var x=0;x < linksCount;x++){
 var linkedItem = linksOnPage.item(x);
 linkedItem.unlink();
myDocument.save(new File("filename.indd"));
myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_INTERCHANGE, File("filename.inx"));
thank you

Dynamic embed images?

Hi,
Here is one of ways to embed image in Flex:
[Embed (source="img0.jpg")]
public var Img0:Class;
But I want to embed a bunch of images, is there a syntax like this, or a better coding method?
for (var i:int = 0; i<10; i++) {
 var img:Image = new Image();
 img.source = [Embed('img' + i +'.jpg')];
Thanks for reply.

Embed is for compile time, so, it is not possible to do what you are trying to do. But using the same concept, you can load images dynamically as shown below.
for (var i:int = 0; i<10; i++) {
 var img:Image = new Image();
 img.source = "http://someurl.com/path/image"+i+".jpg";

JS InDesign: download and embed image

Hi,
I need my script to palce an eps file into myLogoFrame from my desktop. This what I was able to find in OMV:
myLogoFile.itemLink = desktop.myFolder("MyLogo.eps");
myLogoFile.place ("ND MastHead.eps", true, embed) = myLogoFrame;
I need the file to be placed into specific frame and I need to be able to specify the full path name of the source file, and then embed the file into InDesign.
I realize that this is might not even be on the right track, I am not sure where to look for more information.
Your help is highly appreciate.

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it.

I am trying to organize a zip file with a bunch of links and files. But when I drag an image file to a folder, it always "Snaps to grid" instead of just landing where I put it. All of the files are going into the same zip file but I want them visually in the space that I put them and not at the bottom of the snap to grid folder location they are looking like. I am trying to drag and drop files in groups so that I can group them for now, but image files always do their own "sort by" when I drag them from my web pages. Links don't do it though. I tried resetting the folder, and deleting the DS files. No luck.

Embed image into email (not attachments)

Hi all,
i need to embed images into an HTML table of an email.
Can anyone help me, please?
Sergio

I have done this in a prior application.. Are you building an html style message?
I have attached some ideas for you to try:
define hidden page variable to get the url and location for the images files:
p19_SERVER_STRING
Source or expression:
SELECT owa_util.get_cgi_env('REQUEST_PROTOCOL')||'://'||owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST')||owa_util.get_cgi_env('SCRIPT_NAME')||'/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=4398899520272508996&p_fname='
FROM dual;
(Security Group is from YOUR application)!!
Next:
In a After Submit process assemble the emial message:
local variable lvMessage VARCHAR2(7500)
Define message body in html document (Store in local varchar2 variable)
<body>

<img height="90" hspace="0" src="'|| V('P19_SERVER_STRING')||'srtt_header.png' || '" " width="778" border="0" style="WIDTH: 931px; HEIGHT: 90px">




Send the mseeage after you assemble the required pieces:
HTMLDB_MAIL.SEND(
P_TO => '[email protected]',
P_FROM => '[email protected]',
P_BODY => v_message,
P_BODY_HTML => v_message,
P_SUBJ => 'Your email with an Image');
APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE;

Embed images in one MovieClip, use in another?

I apologize if you've already read this message. My question
isn't only AS, not only Flash, not only Flex. It's in the
mysterious area where the three come together. I posted this in the
AS discussion, but think it might be better off here.
Is it possible to embed images (jpgs) in one MovieClip, then
load that SWF into another MovieClip and use those images in the
loader? We are trying to avoid reloading an image each time we need
it, but still load them dynamically. We'd like to do this:
Container.swf:
<mx:Application>
<mx:Script>
[Embed(source="images/myimage.jpg")]
public var img: String;
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Then, load that SWF and use its embedded image:
Loader.swf:
<mx:Application>
<mx:Loader id="container" source="Container.swf" />
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Image id="the_image" source="container.content.img"
/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
It looks like this should work, and the "resource" string is
properly being passed to the_image (something like
__Resource.43234564.myimage_jpg) but it cannot actually load; we
get a broken image instead.
I'm guessing I somehow need to register the object library of
the Container.swf with my Loader.swf? How?
Or, is this whole enterprise impossible?
Thank you!
Greg

In Flash you may use 'export for runtime sharing' future. In
Flex there
must be a way also (look at adobe devnet topics)
In Flash common problem is you can't control loading progress
of this
add-on. Preload first add-on to one movie without "export for
runtime
sharing" future with loader progress if you need it, then
reload common
movie to 'real' loader - add-on wil be taken from cache

How to embed image in email msg using MAC version of PSE

I can embed an image as Photo Mail in email msg using WIN version of PSE8 but can only send the image as an attachment in MAC version. Is there a way to embed images in MAC version email msgs?

Well, it's not complicated at all really. Just put the cursor in a message where you want the image and drop it in, or else click the stationery button in mail, choose a template, drag over the placeholder "greeking" text and replace it with your own, then drag your own photos into the placeholders. Here's a look at one of the templates. You can see that as my mouse is over the right hand image it tells you to put your own photo there in place of the sample. Moving over the other ones does the same thing.

MIME Multipart/related to embed images in html files - Servlet

Hello,
My goal is to embed images in html/xhtml files to decrease latency when using slow networks. Think about mobile phones, if I have 10 images in one page, I will have 11 requests/responses to get the whole page.
The solution would be to embed all images using Content-type multipart/related, so I have one request to the whole pack.
How to do that in java? I mean, I need to set the content-type and build all parts encoding the images to base64.
I tried JavaMail API, there I can build messages like this and instead of send an e-mail, I can write:
myMimeMultipart.writeTo(response.getOutputStream());
The problem is: I am getting everything as text in my browser, including the MIME headers of each part. Another think is that the first header (the main one) doesn't appear too.
Any thoughts/other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andr� Carlucci

If memory serves me right, I believe in the Servlet spec you have access to the Response object. You "should" be able to set any headers you need there. In addition, you can get the output streams just as you described.
I did a similar thing, although slightly modified, to output dynamically-generated XLS (Excel Spreadsheet) files using a reporting engine called JasperReports. It wasn't a multipart response, however, so you may need to figure out how to handle that part of it, but in my case I set the mime-type header, then grabbed the output and started writing my XLS file too it. Once done, you close the streams and return the response. Worked perfect.

Trying to embed images from my iWeb site

Sorry if this has been asked before but I did a search and could not find any answers.
I upgraded from iLife 06 to 08 and managed to get a seamless transition of my iWeb site. The only problem now is that I seem unable to embed images from my site into other web pages on other sites. It used to be a case of copying and pasting the image address into the other web page. Now however it comes up with a very different looking image address that no longer ends with .jpg(jpeg) I have tried adding the .jpg to the end of the address without any success. Am I simply missing the obvious or is this feature no longer available?
Thanks for any help

Disable slideshow or not won't effect the way javascript render photos page images into canvas and anchor links.
But, You can:
1) get Safari 3.1.1, and turn on Develop menu. Safari -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> Show Develop menu in menu bar (bottom item). This allows you to see all the elements in the page.
2) get Firefox, FF has DOM Inspector and Page Info.
With the above, you will have to wade thru the info and fish out the links. or,
3) using script to do the heavy lifting (scripting is your friends), there two free scripting languages: AppleScript and JavaScript in every mac.
Combine the two and with understanding of iweb and DOM and you have the ultimate tools for iweb developing, here is the result of your first three links (I have all of them, but just post three here):

Embed image in form not displayed

I am trying to embed an image in the form i.e., point an image that is in my local workbench.
While I was testing from my local Workbench/Designer.
I created a process which receives input xml document and sends the pdf document as response.
However, when I deploy my process on the EB3 server and try to get the PDF from the java code, here is what happens
(1) There is a check box in the designer --> Embed Image.
If I check this check box, then I get pdf damanged error and the pdf will not load in my servlet
(2) If I don't check the check box, then the pdf come but the image is missing.
I would appreciate if someone helps me to avoid the error and get the image in the pdf.
Thanks
