Exporting/Importing Layers from and to InDesign (CC 2014)

I would love to see a feature where i can export a layer from one InDesign file to another InDesign file, like in Photoshop and Illustrator.
I often am working with translated files, where i need to update the / for example / French text to Dutch text from another file. Now i manually copy and paste every layer one by one. This is such a waste of time, there must be an easier way to do this, using a copy and paste layers function.
Thanks!

Hi all,
The solution for the moment is to use the cc extension Illustrator Layer Exporter http://dehats.com/illustrator-layer-exporter/
Thanks to Franck for his help ;-)

Export/import to/from database

hi,
i do not know what is this for. i read the help but still no idea.
i know to use export/import to/from memory id and also set/get but not export/import to/from database.
1) what help says it stores data cluster? what is data cluster
2) can have example of export/import to/from database?
3) what is the different for export/import to/from memory id and database?
thanks

Hi,
1) A data cluster is a set of data objects grouped together for the purpose of storage in a storage medium(Like database, local memory or shared meomory etc), which can only be edited using ABAP statements like EXPORT, IMPORT and DELETE.
2) Suppose you want to export the data in a internal table to database.
Here TABLE_ID is the identifer of your data cluster. You are exporting your data to a SAP table INDX and giving it an ID (TABLE_ID in this case and this ID you are giving it an area by name XY where your data will be stored). EXPORT tab = itab
TO DATABASE indx(XY)
CLIENT '000'
ID 'TABLE_ID'.
You can get this data as follows.
IMPORT tab = itab
FROM DATABASE indx(xy)
CLIENT '000'
ID 'TABLE_ID'.
3) The difference is simple when you use MEMORY ID the data you export is stored in the application server MEMORY where as in the case of DATABASE it is stored in the database.

Export/import text with all styles (indesign CS3 (XP SP2))

I'm looking for the best way to export text so authors can edit their text using MS Word, Excel or xml. (they don't want to use Indesign). after they are done editting I want to import the text back into Indesign (with par, char, obj styles).
I know how to import/export to .doc with styles, but this doesn't work for table, object styles, and page breaks.
Xml tags or plugin/software might be a solution.
I've searched the forums, google and read the help file, but still don't know what the best/quickest solution might be. ... ?
thanks in advance

1. Those programs don't support every feaature of InDesign, so you are out of luck.
2. If they don't want to use InDesign, ask them to use InCopy, that is the only one programm which supports the whole InDesgin-functionlity
3. Page breaks should never be done manually, never in Word, neither with InDesign. They should be created via paragraph styles in both program, but with the import options is a checker to get Word's page breaks.

EXPORT / IMPORT TO/FROM SHARED BUFFER

Hello all,
I am facing a problem with the EXPORT/IMPORT to SHARED BUFFER statements.
In my report program , I export data to the shared memory.
I then call a transaction to park an accouting document.
The BTE 2218 gets triggered in the process. Here the IMPORT works fine.
Later, there is a standard function module which is called IN UPDATE TASK.
Within this, the IMPORT statement fails.
It works on one server but not on another.
Notes :
The IMPORT works in debugging mode but fails if I simply run.
Another point is that the ID used for identifying the shared memory uses sy-uname.
Can the visiblity of sy-uname in UPDATE TASK be controlled by settings ?
Any ideas on this ?
Please don't copy paste the help on SHARED BUFFER etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mariano,
the issue is to due to multiple servers present where SHARED MEMORY is specific for each application server.
So we export data into shared memory in program A, we have to be sure, that program B or FM which is called in background or update task by program A runs on the same application server
Here, the problem is when program A calls the program B or FM in background or update it’s a dynamic scheduling to all application server with have batch work processes and not the same application server that of calling program A always, so program B runs on another application server which has different shared memory.
Solution will be:-
To Force program B to run on same application server as of calling program A by
passing sy-host of calling program A to Function module “JOB_CLOSE” parameter
name “TARGETSERVER”. OR
Instead of using SHARED MEMORY we will use DATABASE.
        EXPORT itab FROM itab TO DATABASE indx(ar) CLIENT sy-mandt ID job_number in programA where job number is unique.
        Then IMPORT itab TO itab FROM database indx(ar) CLIENT sy-mandt ID job_number in program B Where job number is passed from program A to B.
        Then DELETE FROM DATABASE indx(ar) CLIENT sy-mandt ID job_number.

Export/Import groups from address book?

How to export/import database from tools menu in sql developer.

Hi,
I need to export database from a server and import it on another db server using the export database function under tools menu in SQL developer. How do I import it? This is for Oracle 10g database.
Thanks

Depends what are you trying to do? Are you making a database copy or just creating an empty schemea or creating schema with the data?
With 10g, you have also options of using datapump (expdp/impdp) and conventional export/import which is very usefule and easy to use when it comes to create a clone (duplicate schema) or an export/import of some objects.
If you right click on table object, you have options of export ddl/export data and import data but thats different thant what expdp/impdp or conventional export/import provides. For very small database you can use sqldeveloper but consider
using other above mentioned options. Hope this helps

There are two documents in an book. both of them contain the same layers, but different content.

Is it possible to export/print the book, and use layer1 form document one and layer2 from document 2?
Maybe there is a plugin / script for this topic?

Export/Import xml from dynamic pdf form using java

Hi,
I have been searching for the last 2-3 days on the internet for this. Some posts do talk about it, but none have provided the answer I was looking for. Hopefully this is the correct forum to post the question in.
I am working on a desktop swing application that works on extracting and changing data in a XFA form, I would like to export the form's content modify it and import it back using java. This is so easy with the Adobe Reader, where it nicley exports the form content as an XML document, you can change it manually and the import the data back. I am searching for a way of doing this in java. I found XPAAJ.jar mentioned in some forums, that may make this easy. I havent been able to use it, since I cant find it anywhere.
I found a blog from Mike Potter
http://blogs.adobe.com/mikepotter/2006/07/download_xpaaj.html
This says that XPAAJ is free as long as I use it on forms developed using livecycle. I dont own livecycle, but the forms that I am working has been built using livecycle. So my questions are:
1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
Thanks
Sethu

Hi Sethu;
First, its important to know that xpaaj never was a supported piece of software. It was supplied "as is" with no support from Adobe. It has been pulled and is no longer available from the Adobe web site. Mike's blog is from 2006, so its really old information.
1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
While the xpaaj library will import and export data to/from a form on the client, Adobe now recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms server.
2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
The license stated that you need to own one of Adobe's server side products (not LiveCycle Designer, but one of the server side LiveCycle products).
3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
XPAAJ was pulled by Adobe. They found a few bugs and since it was unsupported software they just pulled it from the web site.
4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
Not from Adobe. Adobe recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms software for merging data and forms.
5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
As far as I know there Adobe doesn't have a client side library available for this (merging dynamic XDP based forms with data).

Export/import utility from within apex

Hi Friends,
With my knowledge in oracle forms the export/import utility can be called from within a form in runtime
using a push button.But how can i achieve this using a similar button in the oracle apex.
Pls give me a helping hand.Thanks.

kehinde

Hello:
The Oracle Data Pump utility is now the preferred tool to use to import and export data and metadata from an Oracle database. Oracle Data Pump provides capabilities that far exceed those provided by the older imp/exp programs. Further, in addition to command line invocation of the tool, Oracle Data Pump has a set of pl/sql APIs (DBMS_DATAPUMP) that will let you do import and exports from pl/sql. You can therefore easily set up an APEX page that will accept a bunch of parameters and execute the appropriate procedures within DBMS_DATAPUMP to do the export/import.

Hi,
based import and export we need to do.
suppose we think we have created tables in production and data also populated. we need to export the tables with data. i am able to export the tables with data some tables or full database.
suppose we have development environment. in development environment there is no tables. we can treat nothing in development. we have only username,password and hostname.
when you import the tables production to development automatically create the table structures with data.
where ever we wanted to import the tables no need to create table structures. thats why no need to think about table structures.

How to export/Import default prefs and object styles with no project open?

I would like to export my preferences and object styles with no projects open and them import them on my team's machines so that no matter what project we create, we all start from the SAME set of defaults. When I open captivate and check both with no projects open, there is no ability to import/export. I know I could open a project and export, but then importing is an issue.
I'm using CP8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
Help?
Thx.
Lori

After a fresh install I start by editing the Preferences globally, that means by using Edit, Preferences before opening any project (like switching to Expert UI, default language, replacing feedback captions by shapes). There is indeed no way to import preferences from a specific file. I will do the same for some object styles (like creating a blank Highlight box for audio objects). You can only export/import from and to a project, same like for all Library assets.
However the Object styles: they are part of the default theme, along with their theme colors, master slides and skin. You cannot edit everything without having a project open. I would recommend to create a custom theme in a project, in which you have all the wanted object styles. Changing the theme colors (you can have a custom theme color palette) will change partially colors of the objects. Once you set that theme as default theme, you'll have all the object styles in the projects that use the default theme.
To transfer Preferences, custom themes to another machine, maybe this article could help you out. It was written for a different purpose, but you'll find the location of a lot of files that you could transfer in this post:
