Finding and replacing Missing Fonts

Dear All,
I need to find the missing fonts in the InDesing document and replace them into correct fonts using JavaScript.
Pl. help.
Thanks,
ArcRaj

Ole,
For a moment you had me rejoicing (I hadn't tried this in 5.0.3 yet). But my joy was short-lived, as I still can't get it to work. For instance,
app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont =
app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold');
still tells me that "The requested font is not available." That font is not installed on my system but is used in the active document.
Absent fonts seem to confuse ESTK. Getting some properties of this non-installed font leads to different results:
-- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').index
gives -1. Don't know what that means, but there's a result and no error.
-- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').fontFamily
gives Swiss 721 BT. Result as expected. (It's not the case that to return this property ESTK doesn't bother to check whether the font exists: ...('Olav Kvern\tBold').fontFamily produces an error.)
-- app.activeDocument.fonts.item ('Swiss 721 BT\tBold').location
doesn't do much apart from repeating the property name. No error, nothing in the console; just "location" in the staus bar at the bottom of ESTK's app window.
Am I missing something?

How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

Hello all!
Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

Multi File Find and Replace FAR missing from tools

I have RoboHelp x5.0.2 and I have always used Find and
Replace at my previous employer. I have started with a new company
and the RoboHelp FAR is missing from Tools. I know you can Add a
tool if you know the path, but I have no idea where to look.
Some background:
We use Source Safe (VSS) to check our files in and out.
I have verified that all of the files are NOT read-only.
HELP!!!!

Maybe you are mixing up something. RoboHelp includes a tool
named Multi-File Find and Replace. This should indeed be situated
on the Tools pane.
There exists a tool called FAR, which, among other things,
offers a similar functionality. FAR is shareware and
not included in RoboHelp.

Is design view missing from RoboHelp's new Find and Replace editor?

I just started using RoboHelp 10 and was excited about the new Find and Replace feature. However, it seems to force the user to edit in the HTML editor (which is very difficult when the topic has tables). Am I missing some preference setting?
The only workaround seems to be to to find a topic and then track it down in the Project Manager list and open it in the normal fashion.
Thanks.
Carol

Find and Replace in Files (as opposed to a single topic) has always been at HTML level.
If you do use this updated feature, do not use the Contains field unless you want to kiss your project goodbye. See Using Rh10 on my site.

Find and Replace Font Colors in Multiple Text Boxes

Hello,
I have Illustrator version 15
I made many text boxes with multiple colors, red and black on each letter. I was wondering if there is a find and replace tool for multiple text boxes. I want to change the reds to black and the blacks to light grey. I tried clicking on change swatch color but it only worked for the letter I had selected, even with the global option selected. I then when to select -> Same -> Color Stroke but it just selected each text box on the page....Is there anyway to do this?
Jordan

Not exactly a find and replace but you can do it.
Select the text frames yu want to change the colors using the shift key to click select the frames.
Then go to Edit>Edit Color>Recolor Art
You wll see a dialog with red and black bars along side two shorter bars click the shorter bars to select a New Color a color picker will appear you can use the swatches or the color mixer.
There is a live preview /so you will see the change in case you want to pick a different gray, of course you can always go back to the recolor art dialog.
I am afraid you manually have to select text frames with multiple colors in order to accomplish what you want but the method above I believe is the only want to change the colors.
This video shows how the dialog works but pretend the one frame I did not select is another color.

Auto replace missing fonts durring script place

I have a script that runs on startup that places a word document in a new indesign document. The problem is that if there are fonts in the word document that indesign can't find, then we get a message saying there are missing fonts and a series of javascript errors because there's a dialog open.
Is there an option to have it automatically replace missing fonts with a specified font?
InDesign CS5
Windows

Form my understanding you can't replace missing fonts until the document is open. To avoid the missing fonts modal dialog, you can set
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
before opening the document and then make your font substitutions. Don't forget to reset the userInteractionLevel when your script is done!

VBA Word Find and Replace characters but excluding certain characters

I am trying to write VBA code in Word that I will eventually run from a VBA Excel module. The aim of the project is to find specific strings in the open Word document that have length of either one or two characters and are of a certain format, and replace
them with other strings in the same format. This is to do with transposing (i.e. changing the musical key) of chord symbols in a songsheet in Word. The Find and Replace strings are contained in ranges in an Excel workbook, which is why I want to eventually
run the code from Excel. I'm much more experienced in writing VBA code in Excel than in Word, and I'm fairly confident with transferring the 'Word VBA' code into an Excel module.
At the moment I'm trying out code entirely in Word, and I've come across a stumbling block. For example, I want it to Find "A" and replace with "B",
BUT only if the "A" is NOT followed by "#" (sharp) or "b" (flat).
Here is the code I've got in Word VBA, which I obtained by editing code produced by the recorder:
Sub F_R()
'Find text must have specific font
With Selection.Find.Font
.Bold = True
.Underline = wdUnderlineWords
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
End With
'Replacement text must have specific font
With Selection.Find.Replacement.Font
.Bold = True
.Underline = wdUnderlineWords
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
End With
'Find & Replace strings
With Selection.Find
.Text = "A" 'hard-coded here for testing, but this will
'eventually be referenced to a cell in Excel
.Replacement.Text = "B" 'hard-coded here for testing, but this will
'eventually be referenced to a cell in Excel
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = True
.MatchWholeWord = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
For the Find & Replace section I want to do something like:
With Selection.Find
.Text = "A"
.Text <> "A#"
.Text <> "Ab"
.Replacement.Text = "B"
End With
- but this produces a syntax error, presumably because you can have only one .Text line (or it won't accept <>?)
I tried adopting the way of excluding chars when using the Like operator, and while it compiles, it will not replace
any "A":
With Selection.Find
.Text = "A[!b#]"
.Replacement.Text = "B"
End With
I suspect that I'm going to have to change tack completely in the way I'm doing this. Do you have any suggestions, please?
The chord names/symbols are preceded/succeeded by either spaces or paragraph returns and can look like these, for example (all Font Bold and Underlined words only):
C7
Dm7
Eb-5
Bb+11
F#m7
i.e. [ABCDEFG][b # | optional][m |optional][- + | superscript, optional][2 3
5 6 7 9 11 13 | superscript, optional]
The crux of my problem is that the note A should be treated as entirely distinct from Ab or A# (and similar for other flattened/sharpened notes).
Sorry for long post.

Batch Edit Multiple HTML files | Find and Replace

Hi,
I would like to use Automator to automate (I know that sounds redundant) the following process.
1. Take a group of html files
2. Open each file so it can find and replace the script of any image folders
Example:
Change: img src="home_files/photo.jpg" to img src="images/photo.jpg"
3. Save & Close each file
I assume this this would have to be done in either AppleScript or Cocoa.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

you most definitely don't need Cocoa for something like that. if all you need is a straightforward search and replace in a bunch of html files you can easily do this with a shell script. If you need some more involved search and replace you have to explain what it is exactly that you want.
to automate direct search and replace you can do something along the following lines in automator
1. get selected finder items (this will select your html files)
2. run shell script action with input passed as arguments
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
for f in "$@"
do
fl=`echo "$f"`
sed 's%home_files/photo.jpg%images/photo.jpg%g' $f > /users/$USER/.tmp.txt
cat /users/$USER/.tmp.txt > "$fl"
done
rm /users/$USER/.tmp.txt</pre>

How do you find and replace "within selected text" in a textedit document (version 1.8, mountain lion)

In the textedit version on Snow leopard it was possible to search and replace within a peice of selected text only i.e. not the entire file. This was a very useful feature because you could select a paragraph and replace all occurences of word1 with word2 within that paragraph only! This feature appears to be missing from the mountain lion version of textedit (version 1.8). Or can anyone tell me how to do it ... ?

Having 46 people view a post without replying is not unusual. Some people look at a question to see if it's something they'd like to know the answer to, and then come back when it has eventually been answered.
I'm not sure if you need to escape forward slashes in Dreamweaver's Find and Replace dialog box, but I normally do because both JavaScript and PHP normally use forward slashes as delimiters to mark the beginning and end of the regex like this:
var pattern = /[A-Z]{4}/; // JavaScript
$pattern = '/[A-Z]{4}/'; // PHP
When a forward slash appears inside the regex, you need to escape it with a backslash to avoid confusion with the closing delimiter.
As you have worked out, a capturing group is created by wrapping part of the regex in parentheses.
If you want to match exactly 38 characters, you can use [\S\s]{38}. That includes spaces, newline characters, symbols, everything.
If you're trying to find everything between two tags, you can do this:
(<\/tag_name>)([^<]+)
The closing tag is captured as $1 and everything up to the next opening tag is captured as $2.
Learning regular expressions is not easy. I don't claim to be an expert, but I enjoy the challenge of trying to solve them. If you're interested in regular expressions, there are several books published by O'Reilly. "Mastering Regular Expressions" is the ultimate authority, but it's a difficult read (not because it's badly written, but because of the complexity of the subject). "Regular Expressions Cookbook" is very good. There's also a new "Introducing Regular Expressions", but I haven't read it.

Enabling tabbing to controls on DW CS 4 Mac in Find and Replace

I have used Dreamweaver on Windows for many years. I'm now working on the Mac.
I have configured OS X Leopard for improved keyboard access to UI controls. This allows me to tab to dropdown (or popup) menu and use the keyboard to quickly select menu items. I realize this is a personal preference but personally I'm more productive this way. This setting affects the OS and appears to work in many applications. It doesn't appear to work in Dreamweaver CS4.
I work on one PHP project that has hundreds of files. I routinely need to use Find and Replace to search in "Selected Files in Site" but often need to only search in "Current Document", so I'm routinely switching between these options. I'm also routinely toggle the "Use regular expression" option. On Windows I could change these settings without having to use the mouse. I could quickly tab (or shift-tab) from the "Find:" and "Replace:" text boxes to the "Find In:" and "Search:" Dropdown Menus or the various "Options:" checkboxes, but find that one the Mac I have to use the mouse to change the dropdowns and checkboxes.
Have I missed a Dreamweaver setting or a magic keyboard shortcut that would enable full keyboard access to DW's Find and Replace and other Dialogs?

Yep.
"A Better Finder Rename" is great for batch file renaming.

Find and Replace Japanese characters in pdf file on iPhone

Hi eveybody !
I want to find and replace Japanese characters in pdf on iPhone.
I using zlib to deflate stream - endstream block and extract text.It's work fine with latin-text.
But when i work with japanese characters , I don't know how to do it ?
I decode a sample japanese pdf file, and I know that each Japanese characters are performances as hex string : "<01b7><0e230a23>..."
But i don't know how to convert Japanese characters to the hex string like that.
Can evrybody help me?
Thanks!

Searching is the same process as extracting - since it's about turning page content into something understandable. So that still remains what you need to learn/understand - of course, referring back to all the previous sections about font formats, etc.
Replacing in PDF is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for two reasons - subset fonts and explicit glyph positioning. Have you determine (conceptually, if nothing else) how you plan to addresses these two issues?
PDF doesn't do UTF8 for page content - so don't worry about that.

Using + and - keys to change dates and times; Find and Replace event

Hi all, \
I have two iCal related questions. One has been bugging me since the Snow Leopard upgrade and the other I'm just wondering about.
1. Is it just me or is it no longer possible to use the + and - keys to increment dates and times when editing an event? It seems that now I have to actually type in the numerals instead. Is there something in the preferences I'm missing or is that just the way it is now? Seems like a step backward, if so.
2. Is there a way to do a "find and replace" for an event that occurs sporadically throughout the year, but isn't a repeating event per se? I just want to rename the event itself.

Don,
...is it no longer possible to use the + and - keys to increment dates and times when editing an event?
I did not know that was possible. Try using the ↑/↓ arrow keys to increment numbers, and →/← arrow keys to change fields.
Is there a way to do a "find and replace" for an event that occurs sporadically throughout the year, but isn't a repeating event per se?
AFAIK, you have to use the search field to find the individual events, and change them when you click on the events in the search results field.

Find and replace using wildcard

I've inserted table content using Insert/Table Objects/Insert Tabular Data in DWCS3 and want to remove unwanted code from the table insert.
Example:
<td width=156 valign=top style='width:117.0pt;border-top:none;border-left:
none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt;
mso-border-top-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;mso-border-left-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;
mso-border-alt:solid windowtext .5pt;background:#FF8A50;padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt'>
The text between "width" and "Arial'" varies but these two start and end words are the same in each instance to be replaced - how can I find and replace using a regular expression wildcard? Have researched on web but not come across answer yet. I thought it might be simple and hopefully it is and I'm just having a shocker. Is it something like Find: "<td [^"]*> and Replace with: "<td>"? Am I close?
I'd appreciate anyone's help and thankyou in advance for your time.

You might be able to sort this out with Commands > Clean Up Word HTML.
However, the following regular expression should also do what you're looking for (make a backup first). Put this in the Find field:
(<td)[\w\W]+?Arial\'(>)
Put this in the Replace field:
$1$2
Select "Use regular expression".
