Export XML including soft returns

When I want to export text to XML (UTF-8) I get an error on soft returns.
Is there a way to include soft returns correctly in the XML ?
Regards,
Droom

Hi Droom,
are you sure that it is this forced line break character that causes the error message?
There are indeed some characters that can not be exported by InDesign's XML export, but as far as I know there are no problems with the forced line break.
Maybe you are using another char like an AutoPageNumber char (0x0018), a SectionMarker char (0x0019) or a right indent tab char(0x0008). These characters can not be exported.
Generally every character that has a hex value lower that 0x0020 (except 0x0009, 0x000A and 0x000D) can not be im- or exported by XML.
Try to create a new document with only one frame, insert a single forced line break and export it. If it works you have to look for another character that causes the problem. If it doesn't work I am mistaken.
Form more info see my approach to import a right indent tab ( http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6dbd5/2 ).
For some information about InDesign characters see: http://www.absatzsetzer.de/downloads/Zeichen.pdf (it is in German, but the table is understandable, I think)

Prefixed XMLNS and exported XML from PDF

I have the following XSD sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.irs.gov/efile" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.irs.gov/efile" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="1.0">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:include schemaLocation="efileTypes.xsd"/>


<xsd:element name="IRSSubmissionManifest">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
I am importing the XSD file into Designer and generating all possible fields. I include a button to generate XML output using Acrobat. When I load the PDF into Acrobat and generate the XML, I want the following result:
<IRSSubmissionManifest xmlns="http://www.irs.gov/efile" xmlns:efile="http://www.irs.gov/efile">
However, no matter how I edit the XSD, I can only generate the following result:
<IRSSubmissionManifest xmlns="http://www.irs.gov/efile">
How do I get the " xmlns:efile="http://www.irs.gov/efile" " fragment to appear in the IRSSubmissionManifest element?
Thank you.

Thanks again for your help.
I tested your code as-is on a webpage for testing XLST, and when I gave it some sample XML data it returned all the element content with the element tags removed. The sample data is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<IRSSubmissionManifest xmlns="http://www.irs.gov/efile"><SubmissionId>2</SubmissionId><EFIN>123456</EFIN><TaxYear>2011</TaxYear><GovernmentCode> IRS</GovernmentCode><FederalSubmissionType>1040</FederalSubmissionType><TaxPeriodBeginDate >20110101</TaxPeriodBeginDate><TaxPeriodEndDate>20111231</TaxPeriodEndDate><TIN>123456789< /TIN></IRSSubmissionManifest>
I altered the fourth line of your XSLT to read as follows: <xsl:template match="IRSSubmissionManifest">
I tested that XSLT on this page: http://xslttest.appspot.com/
And the result was exatly what I needed.
However, I since imported that XSLT into the PDF in Designer and the transformation doesn't occur. The generated XML has all element tags removed. I receive no error messages regarding the XSLT when I save the PDF file in Designer.
So close yet not enough.
I wonder if the XML export functionality doesn't like having the root element tag altered. Regardless, it doesn't seem like any of the data supplied is in error.

Soft Returns in Tagged Text

Our Pindar AgilityCMS content managment system flows text to an InDesign page using a special PlugIn.
Some characters are stored natively (store an "a", get an "a" on the page), while other special characters are stored using Tagged Text or Unicode. A return can be either <0x000D> or \u000D. This is especially useful because we can output through one of four "channels".... InDesign, Quark, HTML or as entered in the content manager. The return can now be \p in Quark or <BR> in HTML. A non-breaking space, for example, can be \u00A0 in the InDesign channel,   in HTML or <\!s> in Quark. When we insert the "special character" in the Data Editor of our content system, it might be displayed as [sp], but it will resolve correctly regardless of which channel we publish to.
The problem is that unlike Quark, Adobe does not provide for a "soft return" or forced line break. Sure, you can type one from the keyboard with shift+return, and purists will argue that you'd never want to store a soft (discretionary) return in any type of tagged text or a content management system. However, all our text is set flush left, ragged right, and we frequently want to force line breaks for readability, and do so consistently.
Instead of:
On Sale Now Buy One, Get
One Free
we always want
On Sale Now
Buy One, Get One Free
Again, this is a problem whether you store your data in simple tagged text files, or if you bring it in via a complex PlugIn, as we do.
There are many, many threads on this site and elsewhere that discuss this shortcoming. Does Adobe plan to support Soft Returns in Tagged Text with some kind of special tag?

Your question is predicated on some false assumptions, and I'm afraid Peter, Peter, and Stix didn't quite pick that up in their replies. (This gives me pause since normally they're all very detail-oriented).
As I told you when you posted in the thread from 2009, "InDesign Tagged Text supports forced line breaks just fine."
You write:
Does Adobe plan to support Soft Returns in Tagged Text with some kind of special tag?
Adobe's import mechanism does indeed support soft returns. There's no need to speculate on Adobe's plans, which is the direction the other replies went to.
With that in mind, let's move to your actual question:
Our Pindar AgilityCMS content managment system flows text to an InDesign page using a special PlugIn.
Some characters are stored natively (store an "a", get an "a" on the page), while other special characters are stored using Tagged Text or Unicode. A return can be either <0x000D> or \u000D. This is especially useful because we can output through one of four "channels".... InDesign, Quark, HTML or as entered in the content manager. The return can now be \p in Quark or <BR> in HTML.

When we insert the "special character" in the Data Editor of our content system, it might be displayed as [sp], but it will resolve correctly regardless of which channel we publish to.
I think you need to address this question to your support channel for Pindar AgilityCMS. Indeed, in IDTT <000A> represents a shift-return. Here's a screenshot of a test textframe:
and when exported to InDesign Tagged Text, it produces:
<ASCII-MAC>
<Version:7><FeatureSet:InDesign-Roman><ColorTable:=<Black:COLOR:CMYK:Process:0,0,0,1>>
<DefineParaStyle:NormalParagraphStyle=<Nextstyle:NormalParagraphStyle>>
<ParaStyle:NormalParagraphStyle>Paragraph one
<ParaStyle:NormalParagraphStyle>Paragraph two<0x000A>P2/Line two
I presume you have tried <0x000A> as discussed in the prior thread.
I suppose it's remotely possible this is a Mac/PC issue, because the two operating systems do you different line break characters.
Anyhow, once again, your criticism of InDesign and Adobe is false and unfair. And if you have a problem with a 3rd party plugin, those are really the people you need to talk to.
Still, it might be wise to get it working with plain File > Place. Try testing my above IDTT file. Or exporting your own from a sample textframe like the one I used.

Soft return in tagged text file

Hi, anyone has example of using a End of line (soft return) in tagged text file?
i tried using <0x000A> but it does not work. Advice needed.
Tkz

So it does. It also drops it if you export in GB 18030. I would file a bug report:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Only workaround I can think of would be to enter some other unique character (maybe |?) and find/replace it in ID after bringing in the tagged text.
Ken
Hold on, I tried exporting tagged text and then bringing it back in. It's not dropping the forced line break. It's exporting it as a single Line Feed (hex 0a). And it interprets that as a forced line break when importing back in. My text editor ignores Line Feeds. I had to look at it in a hex editor to see the 0a.
I don't know if that helps any. However you're producing the tagged text, you would need to be able to make it enter a line feed without the carriage return.

[AS] CS3 Find -Change inserting soft return instead of hard

Can anyone help identify why this script doesn't work? i want it to replace multiple returns with a single paragraph return. It's replacing with a soft return rather than a hard return.
I copied and pasted the find grep and change grep fields into the script. I even tried it by typing "\r" into the change grep field. Any thoughts? Much appreciated!
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
--Clear the find/change preferences.
set find grep preferences to nothing
set change grep preferences to nothing
set find text preferences to nothing
set change text preferences to nothing
--Set the find options.
set include footnotes of find change grep options to false
set include hidden layers of find change grep options to false
set include locked layers for find of find change grep options to false
set include locked stories for find of find change grep options to false
set include master pages of find change grep options to false
--delete multiple graphs
set find what of find grep preferences to "~b~b+"
set change to of change grep preferences to "
set myStory to parent story of item 1 of selection
tell myStory
set myFoundItems1 to change grep
end tell
set find grep preferences to nothing
set change grep preferences to nothing
end tell

Shane, thanks! This worked. What I meant to have written was that when copying "~b" from the find/change field in InDesign and pasting into Script Editor, and saving, it converted it automatically to a hard return. I didn't try it manually because sometimes the obvious is elusive! (to me at least)
Thanks again.

Soft returns not importing

Hi. I recently impoterd a Frame 7.1 Chapter into RoboHelp
HTML 8.0 and everything worked okay with the exception of soft
returns. For some reason it didn't import these and I was left with
large strings of test which I had to fix by hand. Any ideas? Thanks
in advance

As far as I can tell, this isn't a new bug in as much as InDesign CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 (Mac) all exhibit the same problem exporting soft-returns in Unicode encoded Tagged Text where they are replaced with hard returns on import. Unfortunately it appears that we may be the only ones that care and thus it's unlikely that Adobe will fix it (unless someone adopts it as a JDI bug).
Update: after testing some more it appears this is an export bug for Mac OS-only. In other words, if you use a PC to export a story that contains soft-returns to Tagged Text (Unicode), the soft-returns are preserved when placing into a document using a Mac. And vice-versa, using a Mac to export a story with soft-returns to Tagged Text (Unicode) and then placing this into a document using a PC exhibits the same substitition of soft-returns for hard-returns.

Change exported XML from a report

Hello,
I need to export a XML from a report button with this structure:
<LOTE CONTABLE>
<CONFIG />
<LOTE>LOTE</LOTE>
<LINEAS>
<LINEA>
<FAC_CODI>1</FAC_CODI>
<EFDESC>F/pruebass N 1</EFDESC>
<EFTYPENT>P</EFTYPENT>
<EFCOMPTE>960</EFCOMPTE>
</LINEA>
</LINEAS>
I have a report with all the columns that I need. I have created a Report Queries (from Shared Components) to generate a XML with the same sql as the report but the XML that APEX generates by default has this structure:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<FAC_CODI>1</FAC_CODI>
<EFDESC>F/pruebass N 1</EFDESC>
<EFTYPENT>P</EFTYPENT>
<EFCOMPTE>960</EFCOMPTE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
How can I change this structure? I want to add a header and replace "rowset" and "row" to "lineas" and "linea". Is it possible?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Amparo

The issue is that in the following code, I've replaced this line:
qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext('select hash_value from hash');
with this line:
qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext(V_Return);
I did this because the value that I want to be in XML is in the variable V_Return and not in a table. I get a compilation error:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong typeCompilation failed
Is there a way to use newContext with a variable value rather than a select statement from a table?

It seems unlikely. The DBMS_XMLGEN documentation says:

The DBMS_XMLGEN package converts the results of a SQL query to a canonical XML format. The package takes an arbitrary SQL query as input, converts it to XML format, and returns the result as a CLOB.

If <tt>VReturn</tt> is not a SQL query then you will need to use one of the (many) other ways of generating XML. This question has nothing to do with APEX and would be better addressed to the XML DB.
Additionally, the recommended methods for XML generation, encryption and hashing are heavily version-dependent and you should always quote the relevant DB version/edition information to ensure an appropriate answer. For example, DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT is deprecated as of Oracle 10g and replaced by DBMS_CRYPTO.

Import/Export xml data from subtree of dynamic XFA form

Hi
We would like to import/export xml data (subtree) of a dynamic xfa form. The following script does only work with static AcroForms:
formular.content.subformDaten.Button1[1]::click - (JavaScript, client)
event.target.exportAsXFDF({aFields:["formular[0].content[0].subformDaten[0]"]});
With dynamic forms the script does export an empty xml file (no data is included, only xml root tag):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"
><f href="ExportTest_frei.pdf"
/><ids original="EA43F92A6B6EA34F9C4DBBC2DA0B1840" modified="6A7C6282A167594F91240B773AA979A7"
/></xfdf
>
Any ideas? Many thanks.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Paul
The Problem that Daniel posted was originally mine. Now after subscribing to this forum myself, I try to describe the aim of using exportAsXFDF/importAnXFDF.
exportData("", false) and exportXFAData works, in my opinion, only with a DataConnection. In my form I have indeed such a connection for sending the whole form. But in addition I need the possibility to export and import only part of the data without overwriting the rest of the filled form.
exportAsXFDF works with static forms. So there MUST be a possibility that works with dynamic forms, right?
I hope anyone has a solution.

CS3 .indd and .inx file freezes (not responding) in soft returns, copy/paste, across machines

My file first started crashing when I tried to soft-return following an em-dash, en-dash, or hyphen. For a while I worked around this by soft-returning on the line below, typing in the text from above, and backspacing the line above (all to help with typesetting the rag).
I had diagnositics run on my machine at the Genius Bar where they replaced my battery and ran first aid, etc.
Software-wise, I've since tried deleting preferences, etc, in the library. I looked to delete the application support file but didn't find one. I also tried opening the file on a second laptop and it still crashed when I did the items above (returns, copy/paste). I tried exporting to an .inx to clean up the file. However, when I open it (Untitled) and try to save it as an .indd to keep working, the software freezes.
I'm using InDesign CS3 and Mac OS 10.5.8.
I've copied the crash report (from the frozen .inx saving) here: http://pastebin.com/Dq9UCgk1
Thank you in advance for your assistance

As I don't want to install additional software to measure temparetures I can't tell you about my exact core temperatures. However, I can tell you that my fans go off again when load decreases for some time.

How can i make a soft return with pages shift enter does not work!

how can i make a soft return with pages shift plus enter does not work!!

On full keyboards with a numeric keypad, the key above the right shift is "return" & the one on the numeric section is "enter." On a Mac (or Apple IIgs ) they do have separate functions. On the "mini" keyboards, both names are on the same key, but "enter" is written in smaller letters. I'll have to check to see how that works on another Mac later today.

XML tags in an "export : XML" Report Template

Hi All,
I'm using the export XML report template to produce XML from a query. One of the column contains XML tags and the template is translating eg: if the column is "Groups" then I get:
<Groups>& lt ;Group& gt ;Sales & lt ;/Group & gt ; & lt ;Group& gt ;IT& lt ;/Group& gt ;</Groups>(ignoring all the spaces - OTN is translating the & gt 's :)
instead of:
<Groups><Group>Sales<Group><Group>IT</Group></Groups>Is there an easy way to stop this ?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Did you ever solve this? I'm having a similar issue while trying to build a Report Query that I want to build with nested elements.

Soft returns in Pages for iPad

I would really like to create a space between numbered items in Pages but I can't figure out how to do it. Does anyone know how to create a soft return in Pages for iPad?
I have seen responses for the desktop application but not the iPad application.

Pages 1.7.1, IOS 5.1.1
You start a bullet item and then press both ⇧ and return keypad keys to force a newline. This turns off the bullet style. Press return. Use the paintbrush toolbar icon to reselect the Bullet paragraph style again. This approach shows the inelegant possibility.
The best approach would be at the end of your bullet text, change your line spacing from 1.0 to 1.25 from within the paintbrush > Layout tab. A return continues your bullet style. If your normal body text has been 1.0 line spacing, you can switch back to that after your list.

Why isn't that in the help topics for Pages? Frustrating.
I guess that we could ask that question about a few different things Apple related.
I'm glad that you got the hang of it.
