Export all text

Hello All,
I would like to export all text with the TextExportPreferences as
.CharacterSet = idTextExportCharacterSet.idUnicode
.Platform = idImportPlatform.idPC
to test.txt file for active indesign file.
Can you please suggest the vbscript for this?
I have the part of it as ....the second part which will iterate through all text ....
Rem TextExportPreferences.vbs
Rem An InDesign CS3 VBScript
Rem
Rem Sets the text export filter preferences.
Rem
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS3")
With myInDesign.TextExportPreferences
    Rem Options for characterSet:
    Rem idTextExportCharacterSet.idUnicode
    Rem idTextExportCharacterSet.idDefaultPlatform
    .CharacterSet = idTextExportCharacterSet.idUnicode
    Rem platform options:
    Rem idImportPlatform.idMacintosh
    Rem idImportPlatform.idPC
    .Platform = idImportPlatform.idPC
End With
Thanks,
Shail

Paul,
I'm the moderator here, and your response, in my opinion, was out of line. Daniel is a long-time vounteer here, and I see no evidence to suggest anything in your accusations.
In fact I would say your first post, made some rather egregious presumptions that your problem and that of harooki2 were the same, all evidence to the contrary. In his case he said that the type was visible in overprint preview, which categorically eliminates the possibility that it was set to non-printing in the attibutes panel. Though he might have phrased it better, Daniel was suggesting that had you followed the suggestion to check overprint preview and reported that the text (or whatever) disappeared, the first suggestion that any of us here would have made would be to check the attributes for non-printing. In fact, that's precisely why he suggested that check in the first response to this thread, to eliminate that as a possibility and quickly establish how complex the problem is.

Script for export all text in single rtf file?

Hi!
I need to export all storys from indd document to a single rtf file. Is there avaible some free script for CS4 which can do that?

Can I copy/export all text formatted with a given style?

I have a multi document book, which includes nearly a hundred references to web pages. Each of these is formatted with a character style. The author has not asked me if I can give him a list of all of those references. Is there any way to pull out all text using that character style, and either copy or export it? I already have a TOC and index, but if there is a way to force character styles into either of these, I could do this on a clone just to get the data.
Failing that, is anyone aware of a way to do this in the resulting PDF or EPUB file?
(I'm in CS5, by the way!)

I want to export all the screen text in a long video to a text doc

I want to export all the screen text in a long video to a text document. Is there a way to do that without copying and pasting each item?

Fortunately, I still have the project ready at hand, so I can cut and paste each text window from there, but I do admire the creativity of your approach. I thought about making the desired document as a collection of still images without the video track removed, but I decided that would be too cumbersome for this purpose.
It still seems to me that there ought to be a way to access the text resident in FCP and turn it into a text file, but maybe this will have to written into the program as a feature. Probably, it would not be a high priority among all the other tasks on the wish list.
Thanks for your help. If I learn something interesting, I will post it for the benefit of others who might want do what I want to do now. Off I go now to cut and paste!

How to export all images that don't contain editable text

Hi guys,
Is there any hack, script or general function to export all images from a PDF withouth them containing editable text?
For instance, i have a pdf that contains some scanned documents - these need exporting, i also have some tables in there that have editable text in them - these are being exported when i select export all images.
Can anyone help?
Cheers!

Search for a word or words in them as a group. Search for .pdf file type and containing....
Use a common word that they all might contain such as "a" or "the", etc.
The files that have been OCR'd will show up in the search. This won't catch 100% of them, but it will allow you to separate most of them.

Crystal Report 2008 export to text problem

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 for generating reports in our WPF application. In this application, we are exporting the report to txt file on a button click. Now the application contains a form called u2018Print Manageru2019, through which the user can print the exported report(text files). Now the issue, when we try to the any of the exported report file through the application, the printer leaves alternate blank pages. The printer used in this case is DOT MATRIX EPSON LQ-1150II ESC/P2. We even tried printing the text file on HP Laser jet 4600, but the same issue is faced.
Also, please note that when I try to read the exported txt file, a formfeed(u2018\fu2019 page break) character can be seen at the place where the printer leaves a blank page. Hence, my concern is, Is there any property of crystal report that I am missing on or is this a printer driver issue? But if it would have been a driver issue, then changing the printer might have solved the issue.
I also tried doing u2018Keep Togetheru2019 property = false of all the sections of the report. Also, I found that the u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = true and disabled for the u2018Page Footeru2019 section. So I set u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = false programmatically as
rdTest.ReportDefinition.Sections["Section5"].SectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = false;
but no luck.
If anyone has faced similar problem or have any clues, please help!
Any kind of help in solving this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation!

Good morning.
We've got something to get straight first
When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;

How can I export to Text and/or CSV format and get correct page info?

I am using CRVS2010 to upgrade an application from CRXI RDC to .Net. When at runtime I generate the report and export to Text or CharacterSeparatedValues my page footers show Page -1 of 1. Using the CRXI RDC, I see the correct page info in the footers.
When I export to Text, I get the Page -1 of 1 for every page. If I set LinesPerPage to zero, then I get it all on one page, which still has Page -1 of 1 at the end.
If I export to CSV, I get Page -1 of 1 for every line. If I use the viewer to review the report at runtime, and export from there, I cannot export as Text so I have no comparison. However, the Export to CSV from the Viewer as Page -1 of 1for every entry just as my export does.
What do I need to do to get the correct line info? What is that is different from CRXI RDC and CRVS2010 .net that would impact this behavior?

Yes, I am using SP2 for VS 2010 and I'm using the Page N of M formula in the page footer. While my export code was not quite as simple as yours, I did it both ways in my test program with the same results. A one page report whose footer says Page -1 of 1.
Here's the relative code snippet:
#if 0
    CrystalDecisions::Shared::ExportOptions ^exportOptions = gcnew CrystalDecisions::Shared::ExportOptions();
    exportOptions->ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions::Shared::ExportDestinationType::DiskFile;
    exportOptions->ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions::Shared::ExportFormatType::Text;
    TextFormatOptions ^textFormatOptions = exportOptions->CreateTextFormatOptions();
    textFormatOptions->LinesPerPage = 0;
    textFormatOptions->CharactersPerInch = 11;
    exportOptions->FormatOptions = textFormatOptions;
     CrystalDecisions::Shared::DiskFileDestinationOptions ^diskFileDestinationOptions = exportOptions->CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions();
     diskFileDestinationOptions->DiskFileName = gcnew System::String("c:\temp\test.txt");
     exportOptions->DestinationOptions = diskFileDestinationOptions;
    thisReport.Export(exportOptions);
#else
    thisReport.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions::Shared::ExportFormatType::Text, gcnew System::String("c:\temp\test.txt"));
#endif

Unable to Export to Text when using Enterpirse

Post Author: dmface15
CA Forum: Exporting
I created a report in Developer and have the ability to export the report to a text file. However, when i saved to report to Crystal Server and run it I do not have the option to export to text. What is the difference and why the limitation?

Usually your cd-burning-software should be able to show you if it supports CDText or not (for example Nero has it's own info-tool that informs you about all features of your drive).
But if your drive is only one year old it really should support CDText.

Export to text and chr(13)||chr(10)

Hi All,
I have report (10g) and one column that formatted by PL/SQL to have multiply rows in it. This achieved by adding chr(13)||chr(10) to the row, so I have multiply rows result on report output.
But when the same report is exported to text file, then chr(13)||chr(10) are ignored and result is one long row instead multi-rows…
Is the way to overcome such result in export?
Thank you.
Edited by: user555411 on Nov 10, 2008 8:02 AM

You can get multiple lines by using repeating frames. That's on the line level.
On the field level, for example, if you have a varchar2 field containing string with 50 characters, but want to display in two lines, you can add a field in report layout that is not long enough for 50 char, but make the length of the box vertically variable in Property Palette. So when there is not enough space to show the whole string, it will go to next line.
You can try this if inserting chr(13) or chr(10) can't do what you want.

Is there a way to excerpt all texts from the captivate course?

Hi all, can someone tell me whether there is a way to excerpt all texts from a captivate file? We need to convert all the texts on the screen to audio and insert the audio into each slide... Thank you for any inputs.

Hi there
Try clicking File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions. That should produce a Microsoft Word document.

How to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?

how to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?
I have a requirement in SAP HR where in the appraiser can add comments in the area given and can export that to excel file. Currently the file is getting exported but the comments getting split into deifferent rows.
I want the entire comment to be fit in one row.
Please help.
Thank you

Hi,
if your text edit value is stored in 'lv_string' variable.
then before exporting the value to excel you have to remove CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
that is '#' from the variable lv_string.
for that use code some thing like this.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE in lv_string WITH space.
I think this will do the trick.
