How to combine book-files into one IND-file

Hello,
I'm trying to make one InDesign-file from the separate files included in a book.
I know the book option Export to PDF but what I want is something like:
add the pages of bookfile 1 to a new document,
then add the pages of bookfile 2 to that new document (at the end)
then add the pages of bookfile 3 to that new document (at the end)
until all pages of all bookfiles are combined into one document.
I don't want to place the pages (what makes them imported pages like images).
Is this possible? [platform Windows - Javascript]
What I figured out (as a non-programmer) is
to open the bookfile
var myDocument = app.open(File("/c/Bookname.indb"), false);
use a counter for the number of bookfiles in the book
for( i=0; i< myDocument.bookContents.count(); i++ )
to retrieve the name of the bookfile
var myINDFile = myDocument.bookContents.item(i).fullName;

Theres a Move Pages -command in Pages panels menu. With it you can move pages also between documents... may be you could use that programmatically too? Guys in InDesign Scripting forum might know better, though some of them reads this forum too....

  • How to combine multiple webservices into one WSDL file

    Gurus,
    I have 4 four webservices(ws1,ws2,ws3 & ws4) defined in XI. Normally in XI when we define webservice ,WSDL file will be generated for each interface. Now I have 4 related interfaces, so 4 WSDL files will generated. Suppose if I have 100 webservices then 100 WSDL files need to be generated & need to send to other party to consume our services, which is very tedious task & to track also. So is it possible to combine related webservices into one WSDL file? Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Santhosh

    Hi,
             Instead of trying to combine the interfaces, you can try to define your interface mapping with 4 sender interfaces with in one interface mapping . I think this may give you the result you are expecting.
                      If you want entire content to be in one interface , then, define single interface which can accomadate, all message ocntent of all 4 interfaces.Means your sender message to contain the 4 datatypes internally.

  • How to combine XDCAM clips into one big file for import?

    Hi, I'm not sure if this is a basic question or just not possible... I'm on location and have to rush edit. I've not worked with xdcam before. Usually I would import all of the media in low-res (one tape at a time), see what I want, then re-import that in high-res.
    In xdcam, when I import, I import EVERY single shot as a separate file. I can set ins and outs and just import what I want, but this is laborious to open and close every shot to see if I want it, then mark ins and outs.
    Isn't it somehow possible to import everything on the xcdcam disk as ONE single file as you would a "tape" so you can quickly screen it, see what you want, then go back to the individual clips on your xdcam disk and import those in high-res? This would be so much faster!
    Many thanks for your help... am in a bind and in a rush!

    Ok thanks... that seems to work. It won't actually work for the way we're editing, but in theory had we synced up our workflow from the start...
    Re. something new... well I hear what you're saying but I have changed formats several times, used 4 different nlediting platforms so far and not complained. This is the only one that seems much harder especially when you're working with different editors in different countries under tight time pressure.
    The brief user guide that I read (and our tutorial instructor at work) told us to import all the little clips and said nothing of combining them... I'm not sure how people could actually work that way and manage dozens of disks' worth of individual shots as files. It would take years to cut an item... and usually we have about 45 minutes to an hour.

  • Can we combine multiple excel files into one excel file using SSIS?

    I have a bunch of excel files in a specified folder. I wanted to combine all the excel files into one excel file by adding additional tabs in one excel file. Can I do this using SSIS?
             OR
    I know using macro we can combine multiple excel files. Can we run a excel macro in SSIS? Please help me.
    Actually the complete package is this:
    Step1: Using FTP task I'm downloading the bunch of excel files into a folder.
    Step2: Above implementation is the second step that I have to do.  

    You can do it in two steps
    1. First get all data from excel sheets to a sql staging table. For that you need to use a looping logic as explained in below link (you dont required the additional logic used for checking file name etc in below example as you need all files). Also make
    source as excel instead of flat file
    http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2012/05/package-to-implement-daily-processing.html
    2. Once you get the data onto a single table, use below to get it exported to multiple sheets within same excel destination file

  • Error Message When Merging Multiple PDF Files into One PDF File

    Good Morning,
    I have a problem with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am trying to merge/combine multiple PDF files into one PDF file, but I keep receiving this error message:
    Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you!

    To fix:
    Provide a unique name for each form field. This includes the individual PDFs fields. As you intend to combine/merge no field name in each of the individual PDFs can be the same.
    Be well...

  • How do I join multiple mp3 files into one mp3 file?

    Hello,
    I have multiple mp3 files that I would like to join into one mp3 file and to use it as an audio book. This explains how to do it, but in iTunes 12, I do not see an option called "Part of a Compilation" option.
    Is there a way to do it in iTunes without installing a new app?
    Thank you.

    Eugene,
    Those instructions, if I read them correctly, are about how to collect several MP3s into a single audiobook.  They will not create a single continuous MP3.
    iTunes does not have the ability to combine multiple MP3s into a single MP3.  The best it can do is if you burn them to audio CD and then rip back with "Join Tracks" enabled.  The better way is to use an audio editor such as Audacity, or a special purpose combing tool such as MP3 Joiner.
