Help with numbering lists in Indesign CS5.5 for epub file
I am working with a book in Indesign CS5.5 to export it as an epub file. I have been working on formatting the text and I have run into a small problem. Throughout the book there are multiple lists within the texts that need to be numbered. Each list, however, must start over at number 1 and not be continued on from the previous list. The lists are all unrelated and I need them to be completely separate. I used "Type", "Bullets and Numbering", then "Apply Numbering" to begin with. This had each list in the correct order. However, I also created a paragraph style with the correct font, size, indentation, and spacing that must be applied to all the lists before exporting. When I do this, everything keeps its correct formatting except that some of the lists continue their numbering from the previous list. For example, on page 1 I might have a list of four things all formatted correctly and number 1 through 4. On page 3, I have another list, of completely unrelated items. I therefore would like this list to be started over at number 1, but when I apply the paragraph style to it, it starts at 5, picking up where the last list left off. I need to keep these as the assigned paragraph style but it messes up the numbering. If anyone could help me figure out how to keep this from happening I would greatly appreciate it!
If you don't mind cracking open the ePub and editing template.css, then adding rules like:
h2 {
page-break-before: always;
should force each paragraph whose style is mapped to an h2 tag on to a new page. Whether or not it works will depend on how good the ePub reader is at implementing CSS. It seems to work for Digital Editions and also Kindle, if you convert ePub to Kindle format.
This doesn't help at all if you are trying to force sections into separate XHTML files, though.

Help with importing PDF to Indesign CS5 trial version
Hello: I am in a bit of a quandry. I have numerous PDF's that I want to convert to Epub. I called Adobe and asked them what program I would need to do this and they said InDesign CS5 so I downloaded the trial version to check it out. The problem is, that in the trial version there is no "place" command, which is how I would import the PDF. So I am left unable to run a test with this software and don't want to buy a program that I can't confirm. Any ideas or work arounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
KristaThe trial version of InDesign certainly does not have any features disabled. You should be able to place pages from a PDF file into an InDesign document.
File=>Place or Ctrl-D should yield a file dialog for you to select a file to place. Of course, you must already have opened an existing file or created a new file.

Indesign CS5 Crashes on Epub Export
I have used the epub export feature in Indesign CS5 successfully for several books. However I have one title that I have been trying to export for epub. It gets about 2/3 of the way through (as measured by the progress bar) and then Indesign crashes. I am wondering if there is a known issue and (hopefully) a work around. The book exports to PDF just fine.
Thanks for any advice,
ChuckI have also had a crash on export problem recently. I went through the suggestions in this thread and searched others.
Then I stepped through a few things in my INDD.
Deleted the suspect page. Export worked.
Brought the page back. Export crashed.
Looked at all the text on the page. I had 4 boxes with bulleted text.
I converted the bullets to text and the export went ahead with no problem.
I turned the bulleted list back into a real bulleted list and the export crashed again.
Go figure. -
Does Adobe allow exchanging my Windows version of CS6 Production Premium and InDesign CS5.5 for the Mac version? (The CS5.5 box is unopened, and the CS6 is in mint condition.)
You might be able to do something for the CS6 product, but as far as the CS5.5 application goes it will not qualify. See the following:

, Page Numbering/TOC in InDesign CS5
Hi, I am using InDesign CS5 and need some help showing the page numbers for a section that will be added after printing.
I have almost completed a low volume 400+ page book (60 copies) and need some special numbering.
I am using 8 & 16pp signatures in this book. The first section is: Front Matter, the second section is for Front Text, the Center Section is a color photo album with 40pp (2-16pp & 1-8pp signatures), and the fourth section is Back Text.
The Center Section will be printed on a color printer and hand inserted at the binders. I have no problem with the numbering of all the sections, but I would like to have the center section to be included in the Table of Contents of the book. I could update the TOC manually but as I move things around that would be a lot of work and I might have errors later. I hope that I made this question clear enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I would add the pages for the color section and any headings you want to include in the TOC, and simply not include it in the PDF you send to the the monochrome printer, and include only that section in a PDF for the color printer.

Thanks for help with Numbers and web stock quotes
Koenig Yvan,
I want to public thank you for sharing your Applescript: InsertQuotes from 2009 that works with Numbers.
I've successfully modified and simplified it for my purposes to be able to retrieve and set values for a portfolio of U.S. mutual funds that are our investments. I have a spreadsheet that started out years ago as an Excel spreadsheet on Windows XP and used Microsoft's ability to retrieve information from the web from finance.yahoo.com and place it in Excel spreadsheet cells.
I converted that spreadsheet to Google spreadsheet using their GoogleFinance function. It proved to be unreliable intermittently and now I've taken that spreadsheet into Numbers '09 and used your script, modified to use my portfolio's list of symbols and to put just the prices into a quotes sheet. For each account I track in my Numbers spreadsheet I use the table Lookup function to search the quotes sheet for a specific symbol and have the function return the associate price.
Following your instructions I put the Applescript in the ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Numbers/ and after opening my Numbers spreadsheet, with one mouse click in the System wide Scripts menu, execute the script which accesses finance.yahoo.com and sets the latest prices into my quotes sheet.
Thanks very much for sharing with everyone. I appreciate having access to your work to make my work much easier.Which structure ?
If you are wondering about the Library folder, it's a feature described thiuysands of time.
In Lion, this folder is hidden.
press Option while triggering the menu "Go to" give access to this folder.

Help with hyperlinks from and InDesign .swf
Hi All,
I created an interactive document in InDesign CS5 that I exported as a .swf and inserted it into a html based webpage. I would like the buttons I created with url actions to open the url in the same broswer window and not in a new broswer window. Is this possible in ID CS5 and if not how can I get it done. I have enough knowledge in flash to be dangerous.
Thanks in advance and if I was not speicific enought please let me know.You should address InDesign questions to the folks in the InDesign forums...

You won't be able to do anything in Flash with the swf you created with InDesign to change how the linked pages open. That needs to be defined in the swf's linking code and Flash cannot edit an swf. -
Help with iPad interactivity in Indesign
Hi,
I am creating an iPad app and need some help with the interactivity. I have 4 buttons on my page and each one, when pressed, shows a new box of information which I have achieved using the object states. I have also created a menu in the form of a scrollable frame which scrolls in from the left of my page. This is however, where I have a problem - because the frame that I drew for the scrollable frame to be placed into covers two of my four buttons, these two buttons don't appear to be working. Does anyone know how I can resolve this or any way to work around this problem?
Many thanks,
StephRedesign the page and consider using an MSO for the menu instead of a
scrollable frame. -
Help with Numbers. I am trying to input numbers such as 001, 002 etc.
I am trying to input numbers such as 001, 002 etc. but the 00's in front keep getting dropped. I understand putting them there does not make this true or real numbers but I need them in this table. How do I get this without the 00's being dropped?
If have a preset length of the field where the whole column must have the same length and you want to just backfill the leading zeroes, you could use a formula
If you enter this in cell C2 and paste it down in C column, it will add leading zeroes to your numbers listed in column B
=LEFT("00000",5−LEN(B2−1))&B2
If you want to expand this to a larger length, just add as many zeros as you want in the formula "0000000000" and change the 5 to however many zeroes you have between the "" in the formula.
If you want to add a constant number of zeroes (2 in my case) in front of the number, you could modify the formula to something like this:
=LEFT("00000",2))&B2
If you make it a formula, this would automatically turn the field format to show the leading zeroes, BUT..... you could still perform calculations on that field, which is a bonus!!! -
I was working with numbers on the iPad where it closed unexpected. Now it will not open the doc, saying it can't open at this and it won't send to email or iworks. Is there any way I can get my doc back.
only if you have it backed up to the itunes folder. I have gotten into the habit of "sending to iTunes" for backups. This moves a copy to another folder that iTunes sees. And if I lose my original working cpoy, I can "import from itunes" and at least have on ly lost limited. Funny that since I started doing that, I havent had a crash that corrupted a doc yet.

Help with linked lists and searching
Hi guys I'm very new to java. I'm having a problem with linked lists. the program's driver needs to create game objects, store them, be able to search the linked list etc. etc. I've read the API but I am really having trouble understanding it.
First problem is that when I make a new game object through the menu when running the program, and then print the entire schedule all the objects print out the same as the latest game object created
Second problem is searching it. I just really have no idea.
Here is the driver:
import java.util.*;
public class teamSchedule
public static void main (String[]args)
//variables
boolean start;
game game1;
int selector;
Scanner scanner1;
String date = new String();
String venue = new String();
String time = new String();
String dateSearch = new String();
double price;
String opponent = new String();
int addindex;
List teamSchedLL = new LinkedList();
String dateIndex = new String();
String removeYN = new String();
String venueIndex = new String();
String opponentIndex = new String();
start = true; //start makes the menu run in a while loop.
while (start == true)
System.out.println("Welcome to the Team Scheduling Program.");
System.out.println("To add a game to the schedule enter 1");
System.out.println("To search for a game by date enter 2");
System.out.println("To search for a game by venue enter 3");
System.out.println("To search for a game by opponent enter 4");
System.out.println("To display all tour information enter 5");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("To remove a game from the schedule enter search for the game, then"
+ " remove it.");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("Enter choice now:");
scanner1 = new Scanner (System.in);
selector = scanner1.nextInt();
System.out.println("");
if (selector == 1)
//add a game
scanner1.nextLine();
System.out.println("Adding a game...");
System.out.println("Enter game date:");
date = scanner1.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter game venue:");
venue = scanner1.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter game time:");
time = scanner1.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter ticket price:");
price = scanner1.nextDouble();
scanner1.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter opponent:");
opponent = scanner1.nextLine();
game1 = new game(date, venue, time, price, opponent);
teamSchedLL.add(game1);
System.out.println(teamSchedLL);
System.out.println("Game created, returning to main menu. \n");
start = true;
else if (selector == 2)
//search using date
scanner1.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the date to search for in the format that it was entered:");
dateIndex = scanner1.nextLine();
if (teamSchedLL.indexOf(dateIndex) == -1)
System.out.println("No matching date found. Returning to main menu.");
start = true;
else
//give user option to remove game if they wish.
System.out.println(teamSchedLL.get(teamSchedLL.indexOf(dateIndex)));
System.out.println("Would you like to remove this game? Y/N");
removeYN = scanner1.nextLine();
if (removeYN == "Y" || removeYN == "y")
teamSchedLL.remove(teamSchedLL.indexOf(dateIndex));
System.out.println("Scheduled game removed.");
System.out.println("\n Returning to main menu. \n");
start = true;
else if (selector == 3)
//search using venue name
scanner1.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the venue to search for in the format that it was entered:");
venueIndex = scanner1.nextLine();
if (teamSchedLL.indexOf(venueIndex) == -1)
System.out.println("No matching venue found. Returning to main menu.");
start = true;
else
//give user option to remove game
System.out.println(teamSchedLL.get(teamSchedLL.indexOf(venueIndex)));
System.out.println("Would you like to remove this game? Y/N");
removeYN = scanner1.nextLine();
if (removeYN == "Y" || removeYN == "y")
teamSchedLL.remove(teamSchedLL.indexOf(venueIndex));
System.out.println("Scheduled game removed.");
System.out.println("\n Returning to main menu. \n");
start = true;
else if (selector == 4)
//search using opponent name
scanner1.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the opponent to search for in the format that it was entered:");
opponentIndex = scanner1.nextLine();
if (teamSchedLL.indexOf(opponentIndex) == -1)
System.out.println("No matching opponent found. Returning to main menu.");
start = true;
else
//give user option to remove game
System.out.println(teamSchedLL.get(teamSchedLL.indexOf(opponentIndex)));
System.out.println("Would you like to remove this game? Y/N");
removeYN = scanner1.nextLine();
if (removeYN == "Y" || removeYN == "y")
teamSchedLL.remove(teamSchedLL.indexOf(opponentIndex));
System.out.println("Scheduled game removed.");
System.out.println("\n Returning to main menu. \n");
start = true;
else if (selector == 5)
//display tour info
System.out.println("Tour Schedule:");
System.out.println(teamSchedLL + "\n");
else
System.out.println("Incorrect choice entered. Returning to menu");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("");
and here is the game class:
public class game
private static String gameDate;
private static String gameVenue;
private static String gameTime;
private static double gamePrice;
private static String gameOpponent;
public static String gameString;
//set local variables equal to parameters
public game(String date, String venue, String time, double price, String opponent)
gameDate = date;
gameVenue = venue;
gameTime = time;
gamePrice = price;
gameOpponent = opponent;
//prints out info about the particular game
public String toString()
gameString = "\n --------------------------------------------------------";
gameString += "\n Date: " + gameDate + " | ";
gameString += "Venue: " + gameVenue + " | ";
gameString += "Time: " + gameTime + " | ";
gameString += "Price: " + gamePrice + " | ";
gameString += "Opponent: " + gameOpponent + "\n";
gameString += " --------------------------------------------------------";
return gameString;
}I'm sure the formatting/style and stuff is horrible but if I could just get it to work that would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

wdewindI don't understand your first problem.
Your second problem:
for (Iterator it=teamSchedLL.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
game game = (game)it.next();
// do the comparation here, if this is the game want to be searched, then break;

Indesign CS5 Duplex printing Postscript file
I am designing a book half english half spanish—It is an instruction manual so you read the english then flip it and read the spanish.
In my Indesign CS5 document pages 1-30 are English then 30-1 again are spanish (upside down). I need to export them as a postscript file so that I can print it double sided correctly for a mock up.
I am making multiples of these books and only some are exporting to a postscript correctly and I cannot figure out why.
When exported to postscript correctly, it should look as if the left page is the cover in english and directly to the right of it is spanish but upside down, and then it alternates all the way to the end. So for example:
Spread 1: English on left right side up, Spanish on right upside down.
Spread 2: Spanish on left, English on right
Spread 3: English on left, Spanish on right.. and so on
But, some, are exporting so it shows a cover, then a blank page, and all the pages are jumbled up. (I do have "do not include blank pages ticked when exporting to postscript)
The only guess I have is that it has to do with the page and section numbering? I don't know if this effects how the postscript converts or not. But, I have several books exporting very differently to post script. Please let me know if anyone can help me figure this out!I had a brief PM conversation with Stephen this morning, and it just hit me that I may have been thinking about this incorrectly. There are actually two approaches to this kind of document.
The approach I've been envisioning presents the reader with all the text on only the right-hand pages -- the lefts are all the other language upside down. But thinking back to my youth and buying some two-title sci-fi paperbacks, I think those were built so that if you tore apart the binding in the center of the book you'd wind up with two "normal" books without back covers, and there would be no page overlap between the two titles.
I'm guessing that the OP actually means to do the second, and I apologize for being dense yesterday. Seems like it was happening all week. If that's true (I mean the binding layout, not my being dense), then I understand what you were saying about Print Booklet, and there's actually a pretty easy way to make this work, I think without a plugin (though IDImposer might turn out to be even easier).
Here's the approach I would use to make a single book that can be cut apart to make two independent volumes:
First, download Scott Zanelli's Multipage Importer script from InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files The script allows you to automate placing multiple pages from either a PDF or another .indd file into a new .indd doc, and it allows you to select the page range to import, the page on which to start placing, and allows scaling, rotation and alignment adjustments.
Since you have two 30-page sections, make a new 60-page file. The first time you run the script, place the first 30 pages normally, starting on page 1. Now run the script again, choosing the range 31-60, but do the following: check the Reverse Page Order box, Start Placing on Doument Page 31, and Rotate 180:
You can run this new file trough Print booklet.
The original content in the new file cannot be edited directly other than moving pages around or cropping/sizing/repostioning the page images. If you need to make text changes or other edits, do them ithe original, then update the links. -
InDesign CS5 hangs when opening files
I have recently begun experiencing a problem whereby I cannot open any existing InDesign documents. I can create new documents and work in them, but I cannot open any documents previously created in CS5.
InDesign CS5, MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion OS 10.8.2, Intel Corei7
The problem appeared shortly after the most recent Apple OS update so I suspect that may be causing this. InDesign just hangs with the beachball trying to open the file which it never does. It gets past linking files, then hangs. The problem has also occurred when I try to open files with InDesign CS6 on the same machine. I have tried to open a variety of different files and the problem still occurs so it doesn't seem to be file specific.
I encountered the problem a few days ago and somehow resolved it through a combination of trashing preferences, removing the SING folder and some font management. Today the problem returned and I can't seem to resolve it via any of those methods. All other Adobe CS5 and 6 apps work just fine.
I saw a post that recommended removing the SING plugin from InDesign's plug in folder so I tried that too. So far no luck.
I've attached the crash report and the Sample Process report from the Activity Monitor.
