HELP! Export indd- epub AUTOMATION. How to Implement! thanks!

Hi. In need some help. Im an intermidiate .net programmer. i need  some help on how to implement a simple automation on exporting indd to epub.
What language suitable to use?
do i need indesign server ion this simple automation?
Thanks!

Jerome,
These days, Flex is the best way to "drive" InDesign and InDesign Server.
Because it has all the hooks for telling InDesign what you want it to do,
and because you can quickly build something with a nice UI. So, I think you
want to build an InDesign extension, using Flex / ActionScript.
A big help would be to use the Flex-based new-for-InDesign-5.0 Creative
Suite Extension Builder system. See
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/cs-extension-builder.html
A CS Extension Builder extension is a full AIR application, so it has full
access to the file system, enabling you to implement hot folders if you
wish.
The hard part is figuring out how to "translate" into an ePub format. You
could have a team of several programmers working for a year and still not
have a perfect system to do this.  BUT, you're in luck, because Adobe has
already written software to convert to HTML. It doesn't do a perfect job,
of course, but Adobe put a lot of effort into it.  And ePub format is
HTML5-based, I believe.
So, probably what you want to do is first tell InDesign to run it's
InDesign-to-HTML conversion feature, and then post-process the result into
the desired ePub format.
Cheers,

  • Export for epub missing in my Indesign CS5

    I have just installed In Design CS as part of the Adobe design premium suite. My problem is, Export for epub menu option is not visible. Hence I'm unable to export any epub. How can I bring back this option. Please help.
    Refer the attached screengrab.

    Did you check your "Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/Scripts" directory for additional directories "XHTML For Digital Editions" and "Export as XHTML"?
    Be aware that both subdirectories "Resources" and "startup scripts" should be present with a bunch of additional scripts.

  • How to implement multiple Value Helps within the same Application ??

    Dear Experts,
    I want to implement multiple value helps in the same view.For that I have declared exporting parameters of type 'wdy_key_value_table.' within the component controller for each of the value helps.While I do activate and test the application I get the following error :
    The following error text was processed in the system HE6 : A row with the same key already exists.
    The error occurred on the application server hsdnt24s11_HE6_00 and in the work process 4 .
    The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
    The ABAP call stack was:
    Method: VALUESET_BSART of program /1BCWDY/9VSHJWRNR0EZPKFT3ZKC==CP

    I dont know how to implement multiple value helps.Need your help on this.
    Regards,
    Mamai.

    Hi
    Hint is : A row with the same key already exists it means , It is assigning the same value/Key to row and you are calling it at WDDOINIT  so it giving error at the time of initialization .
    Better way to do the coding at some event in view OR if not possible than just execute the first value help in wddoinit later clear all the value before gettig the other Value help. Code it at WdDoModify View to get its run time behaviour.

  • How to implement SEARCH HELP for input field in WDA

    Hi All,
    I am doing a tool for my team. in this tool there are 4 input fields to show different processes. I implemented the 4 input fields and also bind the respective tables to these fields successfully. Actually I want to filter the data between 2 fields . Means the data in the 2nd input field should be based on the 1st input field. Means when I'll select for example 'CHI' (code for CHINA) in the 1st input field the 2nd field meant for country name should show all country name with value 'CHINA'. But the problem is that all values related to each field are in different table with no foreign key relationship and also some combinations are in single table..
    I have tried the import and export parameter method for search help but no luck till now.
    Can anyone please suggest me how to implement this scenario..
    Thanks in advance...
    sekhar

    Hi sekhar,
    Your Requirement can be implemented by OVS(Object Value selector) This is the custom search help .So that you can define on what basis the value has to be fetched.
    Look at the below link
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/ABAPWDObjectValueSelector(OVS)
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/606288d6-04c6-2c10-b5ae-a240304c88ea?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    You need to use the component WDR_OVS.
    It has 3 phases
    In phase 1
         You will fetch the value from input field to F4 help dialog box.
    In phase 2
         You will generate the search results , in this phase look for the input value given in field 2 and accordingly generate search result for the field 3.
    In phase 3
         The selected value will be returned to the original screen.

  • How to Implement BW in IT Service Desk/IT Help Desk /IT Complain Surveillance Dept/IT Customer Support Dept?

    Hi
    If a organization have 200 to 300 daily complains of there IT equipment/Software/Network e.t.c.
    How to Implement BW in IT Service Desk/IT Help Desk /IT Complain Surveillance Dept/IT Customer Support Dept?
    Is there any standard DataSources/InfoObjects/DSOs/InfoCubes etc. available in SAP BI Content?

    Imran,
    The point I think was to ensure that you knew exactly what was required. A customer service desk can have many interpretations from a BI perspective.
    You could have :
    1. Operational reports - calls attended per shift , Average number of calls per person , Seasonality in the calls coming in etc
    2. Analytic views - Utilization of resources , Average call time and trending , customer satisfaction , average wait time
    3. Strategic - Call volumes corresponding to campaigns etc , Employee churn and related call times
    Based on these you would then have to construct your models which would be populated by data from the MySQL instance for you to report.
    Else if you have BWA you could have data discovery instead or if you have HANA - you could do even more and if you have a HANA sidecar - you technically dont need BW. The possibilities are virtually endless - it depends on how you want to drive it and how the end user ( client ) sees value in the same.

  • How to implement Sync-Sync scenario in BPM? Please help!

    Hi Experts,
       I have a Sync-Sync scenario (SOAP - RFC) where both sender as well as receiver are synchronous.
       I have created outbound sender sync interface, abstract sender sync interface, Receiver abstract sync interface and Receiver inbound sync interface.
      In BPM I have started with Receive step.
      But in receive step I can give either Async Abstract interface or Open Sync-Async bridge. I am confused!
      How to implement my scenario in BPM?
      It will be really great if somebody can send me the step by step info or doc.

  • How to implement this? please help

    In my java class, I have a string array called strarray which hold serveral elements, some of the elements have the same value , for example, the first element is "swimming", the forth element is also swimming. I use a for loop to get each element and give it to arrayHolder which is also a array with the same size as strarray. Now, what I want is: I defined a Vector called element I want this vector to filter out the element from arrayHolder, get the name of non-duplicated name from the arrayHolder, the result should be inside the element vector (swimming,walking,running,dancing), no duplicated name. My code is like follows:
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class arrayTest{
    public static void main(String arg[]){
    String[] strarray={"swimming","running","walking","swimming","dancing","running"};
    String[] arrayHolder=new String[strarray.size];
    Vector element=new Vector();
    for(int i=0;i<strarray.length();i++){
    arrayHolder[  i  ]=strarray[  i  ];
    /* What should I do next to get the non-duplicated element from arrayHolder and
    * add them into the element vector????
    I did not finnish it, since I am a little bit confused, how to implement? Need some help. thanks.

    Not sure if I see the use of strArray & arrayHolder (I've not looked at your code - you might use code tags next time (check the "code" button above the message textarea), but may I suggest using a Map of some sort instead of a Vector? It will prevent duplicates for you.
    Good Luck

  • Need Help with Export to ePub in CS5.5

    I am working on my first ePub in InDesign 5.5. When I go to File—Export for— there is no option for ePub. In fact there is only "Buzzword" and it grayed out. How do I get export for epub?

    In InDesign CS 5.5, it's File > Export > EPUB.
    However, if this is new for you, if you haven't prepared your file properly, it may come out like mush.
    You need to prepare export order, styling of paragraph styles, character styles and object styles, you need to create a TOC style, there are many steps.
    I highly recommend one of these two resources:
    Anne-Marie Concepcion has a video series on Lynda.com for CS5.5:

    You can get a week trial for free.
    You can also get eBooks from Elizabeth Castro:
