End footnotes to page footnote in xml flow indesign files.

Hi,
I am working with xml files in Indesign, but I had the problem with footnote text, because I need to set the end footnotes to be the page footnote.
Is there any script to make end footnote to page footnote for XML through Indesign files.
Thanks
Hasvi

In Indesign there is no way you can directly work on the XML-IN footnote, since indesign won't support XML tags in footnote stream.
To achive that you need to have XSLT/Perl/Indesign Scripting.
This task is achievable, you can create a auto footnote for XML workflow projects.
1. Create an XSLT to transform the footnote to the respective places
2. Change all the "<" ">" to some standard names, since indesign won't accept XML tags in the footnote stream.
3. Import it in indesign and using script convert it to autofootnote.

How to place an indesign page with hyperlinks in another indesign file, such that the links work?

I have a page of text with hyperlinks in a master indesign file.
I place that file into another indesign file.
(It is like an html include file for a webpage.In this way i only have to update the file in one place.)
But when i export the indesign file to pdf, the hyperlinks fail to work.
They work in the original but not in the second.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Abby Eagle

My apologies. My tests were done using URLs. They function in Acrobat regardless of their state in InDesign.
Aside to Bob: Since I had just made a PDF that worked, I mistook your "Since when" to mean since when won't a placed ID file work? I guess I was blind sided by the fact that the only hyperlinks I ever come into contact with are full URLs.
If Abbey's situation is as I envisioned -- that the placed files are more akin to smaller graphics within the layout of a page rather than discreet pages at all -- then is this not a insolvable problem given how InDesign works now?

Text flow to additional pages at end of document, how to set up in InDesign CS5

I've added additional pages to a document in InDesign CS5 -- but how do I set up my document so when text is supposed to get pushed to the additional pages the text flows from page to page on these extra added pages? Right now I've added additional pages to the end of my document and when the text from the original document gets pushed past the end it disappears and not continued on the additional pages.
Thanks,
Jeff

Yeah, container may not be the best word to describe a book, which is why I put it in quotes, and I certainly didn't mean to imply that you can no longer open and edit the files outside the book. Doing that, however, means next time you open the book ID will complain and ask you to update things. No big deal, but if you open through the book panel it will save the changes through the book and that won't happen. No difference to the inidividual files.
Historically - as in *roff and other UNIX-based processing programs like xroff, nroff, etc - books that were published from multiple individual component files, were produced by the use of a "makefile." You'd need to create the makefile by typing the names of the component files in the book order, along withtheir specifications, such as starting page side, starting page number, etc. You'd save the makefile with a name to preserve all this information, then you'd run the "make" command-line command in which you'd name the makefile, and include arguments such as which printer, how many copies, even a job priority, to avoid unnecessarily hogging the network bandwidth and free the printer for higher-priority jobs. As GUI capable hardware and software progressed, command-line makefiles became GUI book files - still, basically lists of component files and processing instructions.
One important value of book files that don't contain component files is that different book files can control the processing of the same component files in different ways, as well as produce books that use some of the same files and some different files - for different audiences, different product sets, etc. Yes, opening a book file may warn that component files have changed - a good warning to the user to pay attention - and they offer a way to update the collection of component files so that the book file produces the desired result. Here's where some folks may be surprised when they find that sometimes a print or export dialog box, either retains or forgets the settings used for the previous run; the result may be printing multiple copies instead of one, printing to a different printer than expected, or exporting a PDF that's not suitable for the desired printer.
The short story is that while book processing lists that are separate from the component files offer flexibility and reusability, but they also require that the user pays attention.
Did I commingle Autoflow and Smart Text Reflow in some way? I didn't think so.
Not at all. I'm just extra-sensitive to my own experiences with not having taking pains to keep clear on the differences between these similar-sounding terms.
My point was that HOW your text was put into the file to begin with, coupled with how your settings for STR are configured, is going to control whether subsequent editing triggers reflow. It's possible to have STR enabled and not have it work because you've limited it to master text frames and you haven't actually used any. An understanding of how autoflow works when placing text is important to being able to troubleshoot why STR is not behaving as expected (not to mention why text frames may not be adjusting if you edit the master page).
One reason for the confusions that come from working with Smart Text Reflow is that there's no indication in the UI, that STR is enabled, and when it's enabled, there's no indication in the UI of which STR settings are in effect, except by seeing the behavior. Are pages added at the end or story, section, or document? You may see them added in the Pages panel, if it's open, on screen, and if the appropriate portion of the document is in view; you may see them added on screen if the appropriate portion of the document is on screen - the end of story, section, or document.
In InDesign's Help, Smart Text Reflow is covered in only a few paragraphs. As you noted, there's much more to it.

Footnotes and XML: import and export.

I've been playing around with ID CS4 for a week or two now, and can't seem to figure out a way to get footnotes into, or out of, an InDesign document using the XML import / export feature in the Structure pane. It seems you can't tag footnote text, which precludes it ever being "structured". I did notice the footnote is available when exporting as IDML, however.
Is there a way to manipulate footnotes from the document's structure / xml tree? I am working with DocBook sources, and need to find out a way to get footnotes marked up correctly in InDesign... this is proving to be a bit of an issue. Any help or reference pointers would be greatly appreciated.

well, this is what i've discovered so far
indesign footnotes don't live on the xml tree, so there's no way for them to be "tagged" as a footnote on import. from what i can tell, the easiest way to "automatically" create footnotes from n xml import is using the indesign scripting system. there are a few pdfs inside the indesign application folder and some samples - these are also available on the adobe website.
using scripting, you can create an xpath query to iterate over your footnote elements, then create an indesign footnote object at the same point in the text, copy the contents from the footnote element into the indesign footnote, then remove the footnote from the xml tree. or maybe just plonk it in a text frame living on a hidden layer or something. i haven't gotten that far yet.
i haven't got as far as exporting yet, but i reckon there could be a similar trick available via scripting. another option would be IDML, which definitely has footnotes tucked away in its pckage somewhere.
does anybody else have a better solution, or more light to shed on the matter?

Footnotes won't renumber indesign cs6

I'm in book publishing and new to Indesign. I'm working on a mac pro, in a document created by another publisher (a 44 page chapter of a book). The Type > Document footnote options are set to renumber every section. There is one section in the document, at the first page. If I insert a footnote, the subsequent note callouts in the main text renumber, but the notes themselves don't. The newly inserted note has the correct number, but the following notes retain their numbers. Thus, if I insert a note after note 24, the new reference number will be 25; old note 25's reference number is now 26, etc.; the new footnote is also correctly numbered 25, but old footnote 25 and all following footnotes retain their old numbers. If I change the footnote options to renumber each page, the reference numbers comply, but the notes themselves retain their original numbers. I've tried cutting all the text out of the document and pasting it back in, but nothing changed. Can anyone enlighten me here?

I have never seen what you describe, and I've set scores of academic books and journals, many with several hundred footnotes, going back to before ID could "do" footnotes and they required a separate text box adjusted by hand (à la PageMaker). Maybe I misunderstood, but I wonder why you need a section on the first page: sections are an aspect of pages rather than text flow, so ID allows just one per page. Every now and again I need to change the numbering within a page, and when I do I fake one set notes so I can control the numbers.
Much more often, I need to add an un-numbered or asterisked footnote above the first note, generally the author's acknowledgments. The workaround for this is to insert a carriage return before ftnt 1 and type the note on that new line (I often use a separate paragraph style). ID doesn't care, apparently thinking my addition is part of the first note. If the first page doesn't have a ftnt for me to sneak the acknowledgments into then I do it the old-fashioned way, in a separate text box at the foot of the page -- easier than messing with sections.
There are many complaints on this forum about the failings of ID's footnoting, and kind souls occasionally explain various workarounds they've come up with. The most frustrating is ID's habit of losing footnotes when importing word files, which has become more pronounced with new versions. Jongware became so frustrated he wrote a Javascript that converts Word end-notes (which seem to import okay, albeit as dumb text at the end) into ID footnotes. The best single source I know of for information on notes in InDesign is Peter Kahrel's website.
Good luck,
David

Problem with JSF page in reused task flow

Jdev 11.1.1.4
I have a main JSF page with an af:paneltabbed.
The paneltabbed has two af:showdetailItem
In every showdetailitem there's a region.
In both regions I have the same fragment taskflow.
In this fragment task flow there's one page fragment (as a view activity).
If I'm executing the secondary page fragment in both showdetailitems at the same time, they interfere one each other. That's my issue.
This page fragment has a backing bean that depending on the value of a selectonechoice, shows or hides several fields.
If in showdetailitem A I make a selection that displays all fields and then I go to showdetailitem B and make a selection that hides all fields, when I go back to showdetailitem all fields are hidden as in B !
Is there any procedure in order to make indepedent both page fragments ? (in fact they are the same but executed in to different regions) I don't want instructions like "si1.setDisabled(true)" of one page fragment affect the other.
The page is quite complex and that's my main reason to reuse it.
The page flow is Transaction "Alway begin new transaction" and "Share data controls" disabled in order to make them as independent as possible but I don't think this can affect my issue.

The bean, that I know has Backing Bean scope which is the most limited scope that I know.
It is a standar bean created with: Design->Page Properties->Component Binding->checking Auto Bind. The one that is usually created in order to map a pages field and then be able to deal with the fields showing or hiding them.
By the way, in wich xml file is this registered ? I haven't found it. The only thing I have found is an XML comment at the end of the page's source code like this:
++
but I don't thing JSF is going to map the page to that bean only with this.
Now I'm working in the line to stop and restart both task flow when changing the tab of the panelbox. Restarting the task flow every time I lick in one tab should avoid this problem, wouldn't it ?

Footer not coming end of the page in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I am developing a report in which the footer output is not coming end of the page after the tabular output per group Completion.
There is a tabular group and free form group which output coming accourding to number of lines in tabular output but after the tabular output there is one
more group in the form of tabular which show the details sum of the first tabular output which i have to print each of the group end and end of that page but
when i am trying to get output it coming just after the first tabular output.
Please advice...

you have to use the word footer and header, and put these place-holders there
better send me the template and xml, { i guess.}i know what you are trying

BSP adds CR/LF marker at the end of the page even with compression options

Hello!
I'm creating normal BSP Page with Flow Logic and setting the contents myself:
<%@page language="abap" %><%
response->set_cdata( '-=-' ).
%>
The problem is that WebAS somehow always adds a CR/LF (new line) marker at the end of the page (even if I set compression option to "Remove leading and trailing spaces"). I also tried to set different mime-types.
On the other side there is a BSP Application it00 (described here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/eb/8c683c8de8a969e10000000a114084/content.htm ) that shows the uploaded file right.
So I was trying to include that 'solution' setting OnInputProcessing event to this
*         set response data to be the file content
          runtime->server->response->set_cdata( '!=!' ).
*         set the mime-type and file size in the response
          runtime->server->response->set_header_field(
            name = 'Content-Type'
            value = 'text/plain' ).
          runtime->server->response->set_header_field(
            name = 'Content-Length'
            value = '3' ).
          navigation->response_complete( ).
But nothing happens at all.
Please, help me getting rid of these two annoying bytes ('CR/LF') at the end of page.

Thank you, Cornelia!
It works now.
The following code is "must have"
navigation->response_complete( ).

Data runs off the end of the page

I have a form which is flowed and the rows and table are set to allow page breaks. However, when a cell has more content than will fit on a certain page, it does not go to the next page, it just runs off the end of the page. Does anyone know why?
Thanks!

Couple of questions, are you interactively entering data or are you merging data?
What is the xfa template version or what do you have chosen as the Target version?
If you click on the cell in Designer and go to the Layout tab, under Height is the "expand to fit" checked?

Not able to reset the page number in XML Publisher based on each PO

Not able to reset the page number in XML Publisher based on PO
Hi,
I have created a custom purchase report and rtf template. In the rtf template, I have added the page number feature (i.e. Page 1 of 5) from Word in the template. When I run the report for a range of POs, I expect the results as follows:
I have given 3 POs on single request. (PO#1 has 3 pages, PO#2 has 2 pages and PO#3 has 4 pages), the page number on each PO should look like as follows:
PO#1 page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3, page 3 of 3
PO#2 page 1 of 2 page 2 of 2
PO#3 page 1 of 4, page 2 of 4, page 3 of 4 and page 4 of 4
But the page number displays on each PO as follows:
PO#1 page 1 of 9, page 2 of 9, page 3 of 9
PO#2 page 4 of 9 page 5 of 9
PO#3 page 6 of 9, page 7 of 9, page 8 of 9 and page 9 of 9
Here I have to reset the page number based on each PO. If anyone done this already, can you please share with me.
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi
One clarification please.
Are you putting Page # of ## in the for-loop section? I mean it should be within For-each@section block.
Even if this doesn;t work, then try using Insert->Page Break after every PO.

Varun

Defining page size in XML Publisher

Can we define page size using XML Publisher APIs.
We have a problem where a single RTF template will be used for different countries and depending upon the country, the report needs to be printed on Letter or A4 or anything.
I could find a parameter for Orientation but none for page size.
Is there something we can do for defining page size or we need to rely on the printer setup.
Regards,
Satrajit

to which column do u wnat to calculate goto that column
<?add-page-total:variable_name;Column_name?>

Page counting in xml

I have an xml report template; the request is that if the page brakes in for-each-group
To set page number.(Index+1)
How can i mange the numbers of pages if i can know when the page brakes
(Using xml publisher 5.5)

Hi
What are you trying to achieve functionally in your template?
The template is completely unaware of the page numbers, its not until the rendering engine lays the contents of the report onto the page we do not know what is going to fit on each page.

How to get next and previous page in a Train Flow .

Hi,
For creating record I am using multi-step flow (train).
I have three page and I want to navigate the page via multi-step flow (train).
I followed the steps given in the Toolbox Tutorial of create purchase order and
