Hide or Import Original XML?

I have an original XML file that is being imported into InDesign and transformed with XSL and I want the original structure to be included (it is required for export and re-ingestion into a CMS) but I want to only show the XSL transformed data while retaining the original XML. Is there a way to hide XML tags or reimport the orginal XML file at export (maybe scripting?) in InDesign?
As an example, I have an XML file that looks like this (actual XML will contain many more fields, this is an example):
<Object>
<id>3425</id>
<name>Title of object</name>
<description>A description</description>
<extraTag1>Some extra tag not needed in InDesign but required for re-importing</extraTag1>
<extraTag2>Some extra tag not needed in InDesign but required for re-importing</extraTag2>
<Content>
<Content>Some body text required</Content>
<relatedObjects>
<relatedObject id="234" />
<relatedObject id="244" />
</relatedObject>
</Content>
</Object>
that will be transformed into something like this (with an XSL file on import):
<Object>
<id>3425</id>
<title1>Title of object<title2>A description</title2></title1>
{* Combination of name and description tags from original XML above *}
<body>Some body text required</body>
{* Pulled from Content/Content path of original XML above *}
</Object>
When I export the XML data from InDesign I need the original XML structure to be exported (using the data above re-mapped to the original structure). That is why I need to know if there is a way to hide tags (so I would stuff the original XML into a hidden tag that would be ignored by InDesign except for export). Or perhaps is there a way, programattically or does InDesign pass parameters to the XSL file, that allow for importing the original XML file on export through JavaScript or XSL?
Put simply, I either need to hide the orginal XML in the transformed XML upon import or be able to have a path to the original XML passed to the export XSL file so I can restructure the data the way it came in... any ideas?

You don't say whether you intend to make changes to the XML that's imported into InDesign. Presumably you are, otherwise there's no need to get it back out, correct?
If you are doing an XSLT transform on the XML imported into InDesign, you'll have to do the "reverse" transformation via XSLT on export. This unless you aren't modifying the XML data in any way.
"Hiding" isn't possible because two XML entities can't refer to the same InDesign element. Importing both the transformed and original XML is useless for the same reason: InDesign will update one but not the other.
Are you certain that you need to transform the XML to use it in InDesign?

Trouble importing an XML that uses DPX sequences

We are doing an offline edit using a DPX sequence. We're testing now to ensure that an XML of the sequence when we're done will work. (Our DPX is in HD, and the online house will be taking a 4K DPX version of the same piece - identical except for the resolution - for the online.) However, when we start up a new project and import the XML to test it out, it isn't making the edits to the DPX sequence that we made. Everywhere there is an edit, it just starts the DPX sequence at the beginning again. This is the same exact HD DPX sequence that we used when we made the edits.
Here is the original project:
http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1802/i2ht.jpg
Here is what it looks like when we create an XML from that project and import it into a new project:
http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6389/swfw.jpg
The text block you see in the thumbnail for the videos in the sequence is the slate at the top of the DPX sequence, so you can see that it's just starting at the beginning of the DPX sequence every time there's a cut. What should we be doing differently?

My apologies Jim. My understanding - which was probably incorrect - was that the XML schema that was in use by FCP7, which has since been implemented for use in Smoke, Resolve, Premiere, etc., was developed by Apple. Thanks for educating me!
XML as currently coded cannot convey sequences created from image-sequence-based media.
What has been an issue for me and a few others, which may be in play here, is relinking to media coming from a third party grading session. Smoke, Hiero, Resolve, SpeedGrade can all conform DPXs to an EDL or XML using timecode (independent of reel name, clip name, etc) while Premiere as yet does not. Premiere's relinking struggles if there's any disparity between the source file names and the file names it's relinking to. It would be great to see some more flexibility there, such as timecode-based relinking coupled with optional fields for partial clip name and partial reel name relinking.
Since the original post refers to a third party vendor doing the finish on the project, simply relinking in Premiere may not be an option. If the vendor in question is going to be conforming in either Smoke, Flame or Hiero, just sending an EDL over will just about guarantee a successful conform. I'd contact them and find out what they prefer.
Cheers!

How to import FCP XML to FCPX?

The only problems people seem to be having is importing FCP XML into Adobe or other third party software. I can't even import it from one computer with FCPX to another computer with FCPX!!
The following error message occurs when I try to import the XML file;
The document "project name.fcpxml" could not be opened. The location is not available.
In fact I get the same error message when re importing the fcpxml file into the project that created it!
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I can now import the fcpxml from one computer to another HOWEVER I still have a big problem.
The footage that I shot was 1280 x 720 at 50fps - so I can create a smooth slo mo in post. In my 'original' project, I am usiing a 1280 timeline with a 25fps base so that when I 'retime' and 'conform speed' I get exactly what I want - the 50fps shot playing back at 25fps, thus creating slow motion.
When I export the xml and import it into another computer, there is a problem - The timeline is correct - 25fps 720p resolution HOWEVER the media that was previously 50fps 720p is now 25fps 1920p....
How/why does this happen and how can it be fixed?
Presumably it is xml import settings but I'm so far unable to achieve this...

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.

Problems importing an XML Schema

Hello,
I am trying to import an XML schema using the MDM Console.
In the Console Hierarchy tree I right-click on the MDM repository into
which I want to import the XML schema and choose Import
Repository Schema from the context menu and finally I choose a simple XML file.
Then an message appears: "MDS Version mismaths. Upgrade the source repository to the latest version and import the original schema again"
I use the SAP MDM Console for Windows, version 5.5 SP4. There is another way to import an schema in my repository? This Console version really doesn't support it?
Thank you.
Could I import my Schema of my repository using MDM Import manager?

Hi Marta,
MDM Console will not update the schema.If you select an xml schema in the import manager and try to specify an xml file with different structure,Then it will give you error and will not allow you to import.
You define xml schema into MDM console so that u can import data into MDM repository from the xml file or files having same structure as defined into xml schema table of repository.
The XML Schema drop-down list in Import manager includes an entry for each XML schema you define in the MDM Console. For each XML Schema defined in the console, you can select multiple XML source files, each having the same structure.
Hope it will help you.Let me know the result and further queries if any.
<b>
Please remark if it helped you.</b>

Additional audio channels being imported with XML from FCP. Merged Clips. Out of Sync

Problem
When I import an XML Interchange Format V5 file from FCP7 and then import into Premiere Pro CC, my merged clips now have 4 audio channels. 2 from the original file and 2 from the merged audio.
Versions
FCP 7
Premiere Pro CC 7.2
Workflow
* Create merged clips in FCP
     * ProRes Video clip with camera audio
     * Stereo audio clip
     * Sync in Timeline
     * Delete unneeded audio tracks, reducing track on video clip to 1 mono track, centered
     * Drag to browser
* Export XML Interchange V5
* Open Premiere
* Import XML Interchange File
* Clips are imported, HOWEVER
     * Clips now have 4 tracks of audio
     * Tracks 1-2 are audio from the original Video clip
     * Tracks 3-4 are audio from the synced second source audio file
     * Additionally, tracks 1-2 are now OUT OF SYNC
I cannot find a way around this. Clips now all have out of sync indicators on them. Merged audio is insync, and original audio is out of sync.
I do not want to have to resync all of my audio, everything is tagged and organized into bins.
Anybody know why this happens and a workaround?

Ha ha, an excellently wry comparison.
I'm using photo-jpeg because it was reccomended to me as a way to achieve greater image quality when exporting within the confines of youtube.

How to import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
I created an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
So my question is the following:
How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
number of XML files could be unknown.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

Use XSU to store in multiple tables.
"XSU can only store data in a single table. You can store XML across tables, however, by using the Oracle XSLT processor to transform a document into multiple documents and inserting them separately. You can also define views over multiple tables and perform insertions into the views. If a view is non-updatable (because of complex joins), then you can use INSTEAD OF triggers over the views to perform the inserts."

Hello Baski,
I tried the following
- Checked the time zone of CI Server - On which DBIMPORT is running and verified it to be same.
-Checked the DB server time zone and verified it to be same
- Restarted both the server nodes.
- Ran the DBIMPORT again with install_root.xml , still get the same error.

Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently are their any data services provided to do this?

1. Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently?
2. Will it process it node by node or the entire file at a time?
3. Are there any data services provided to do this?
This for a project use case i also have an requirement to process bulk XML files, suggest me to accomplish this task

Hi Patrick,
I am addressing the similar issue. "Getting data from huge XMLs into Hana."
Using Odata services can we handle huge data (i.e create schema/load into Hana) On-the-fly ?
In my scenario,
I get a folder of different complex XML files which are to be loaded into Hana database.
Then I gotta transform & cleanse the data.
Can I use oData services to transform and cleanse the data ?
If so, how can I create oData services dynamically ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Adobe not allowing import of XML file captured from Media Express through Black Magic capture card

I have been going crazy trying to find a way to import the XML files to fix the digitized look Adobe capture gave my footage. Someone help me
These are not XML from Final Cut. They are files saved from Media Express, a Black magic design program used for Capturing.
THANK YOU.
Please email me if you know how to fix this
[email protected]
THANKS AGAIN!

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to open the actual media files captured with the program?

How to import multiple xml records into PDF form

Our organization needs to print and distribute serveral hundred PDF forms to our members. We want to populate the names and some other basic info at the top of each form so the member can fill in the rest and sign and return it. I have the one page form set up with the fields and it's connected to an xml schema data source. When I import the xml file it reads the first record and that's it - how do I get it to read all of the xml records into a copy of the form for each record in the xml data source file so we can print and discribute the forms? We are using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows 7 32 bit machine.
Thanks

Is this a form created with Acrobat or LiveCycle?
Acrobat would need uniquely named fields for each individual's page or pages if they are all in one file.
If you are processing one PDF file per individual, I would look at splitting the XML or FDF file into a record for each individual and them populating each individual's PDF form.
You could even use a tab delimited file and a template to populate the PDF template and then spawn a new page from the template.
With LiveCycle I would look at using a database for the variable data.
