How to create RTL Books in inDesign (Japanese)?

Hi there,
I want to create a RTL book in Japanese. I do not speak Japanese and I have the english version of indesign. I am downloading the Japanese version now, so maybe I will have two types but the thing is I can not speak Japanese.
Is there any way to do RTL books in inDesign CS6 ?  It does not matter if I can not type Japanese, I will be using images only.
Thanks for your help

There are two or three different ways to get spine-right binding, depending on which version of ID you're using, and I have no idea whatsoever where that feature is buried in the Japanese version. Honestly, I don't even know if there's an English localization of the interface of Japanese ID. 
The short version is that there's no way to get spine-right binding with plain-vanilla English ID, although you can probably pull it off with a script, and there are a number of plugins that will let you access InDesign's under-the-hood features. You're probably best off with something like an English install of InDesign and something like World Tools Pro.
But that link that Steve pointed you towards is pretty all-inclusive. Check out the "Choosing the Right Application" section - it should get you pointed in the right direction.

  • How to create a Book in Indesign and add indesign documents to it?

    Hi all,
    Can I create a book in InDesign CS3 and add indesign documents to it using javascript.
    Thanks,
    Hemachandiran.

    Here's my version of the script — now works in CS4 — may be it would come in handy to somebody:
    var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog( "Select a folder with InDesign files" );
    if ( myFolder != null ) {
         var myFiles = [];
         var myAllFilesList = myFolder.getFiles();
         for (var f = 0; f < myAllFilesList.length; f++) {
              var myFile = myAllFilesList[f];
              if (myFile instanceof File && myFile.name.match(/\.indd$/i)) {
                   myFiles.push(myFile);
         if ( myFiles.length > 0 ) {
              var myBookFileName = myFolder + "/"+ myFolder.name + ".indb";
              myBookFile = new File( myBookFileName );
              if ( myBookFile.exists ) {
                   if ( app.books.item(myFolder.displayName + ".indb") == null ) {
                        myBook = app.open( myBookFile );
              else {
                    myBook = app.books.add( myBookFile );
                    myBook.automaticPagination = false;
                    for ( i=0; i < myFiles.length; i++ ) {
                        myBook.bookContents.add( myFiles[i] );
                    myBook.save( );

  • How to create flip book in InDesign so it starts with a single page

    The flip book out of InDesign is cool - but I have not been able to find a way to create it so that it starts with a single page, rather than a spread (with a blank white page opposite the cover).  Any help appreciated.

    Moving thread from Creative Cloud Forum to InDesign Forum.
    Hi there,
    Currently, there isn't a direct way to make the cover page a single page through InDesign. You'll need to 'fake' it by fill the left side (first page) of the spread the same color as the background of your web page.
    Petteri_Paananen has suggested an alternative workaround using eDocContainer. You can find more info here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2279180#2279180#2279180

  • How to create a book (Diplomawork) with InDesign

    Hi all
    I will finish a very important diploma at the end of October. I am wondering how I can create a 'book' with InDesign?
    It should just be like a normal book with Summary, Glossary, and so on. If this is possible with InDesign, how can I do that?
    Will I first need to finish the document with word and then 'just copy paste' or is it possible to write it in InDesign with a dynamic
    summary and all that?
    Thanks for your appreciated feedback,
    Regards
    Fabrice

    Dear DerekC1000
    totally agree with you I know that it is a fantastic application. I'm IT and I know Dreamweaver and Fireworks from the past. Great software. But in oder to deep my knowledge I would like to start with e.g. a good think just like my Deplomawork.
    At the end is must lust like this and I'm sure that InDesign ist just right for that. I'm also sure that for the final printing I must take care of 100drets of things regarding the formatting or the documents. And here my quistions start. At the end it should look just similar to something like that (fotos below).
    Could you guide me a little?
    Cheers

  • How to Creat Work book

    Hi Bw guru's,
    please explain how to create work book using querries.
    thanks in advice.
    kumar.

    hi kumar...chk these..
    Workbooks into which queries are inserted are no different in appearance than other Excel workbooks. They can be saved as files, copied, sent and (using Excel functions) edited however you like and even supplemented with other data.
    Ad-hoc query is the one that the user/developer would want to create/use for researching/validating something. This may be to validate the data also. This differs from Production query as it would not be used everyday and would be just be used for that moment.

    workbook
    1) A workbook delivers the interface for your query.
    2) In a workbook, you can embed design items and customized macros, and you can format its appearance for a highly customized look and feel. The end-user will typically open a workbook and navigate within it execute its queries and see current data.
    3) A query ad ho in WAD means that in your Web application, you want to be able to display data in a table or graphic, similar to in the Web Analyzer.
    You can do this by using the Dropdown Box Web item and linking the commands for showing and hiding Web items to it.
    hope it helps..

  • How to create an ebook using InDesign?

    I know how to lay out a book, I've done it before. But I feel like there maybe something special for ebooks. What size is needed? Do I put facing pages or single pages? It seems like single works, but with the ipad I have seen facing pages that people "flip" through. Does the text somehow flow differently through pages depending on your tablet and zoom level? I asked questions on another forum and someone answered with "not splitting text into explicit pages as e-readers are all different and people may have different zoom factors" ...how does one do that?
    OR, is it as simple as creating a layout in InDesign and exporting a PDF? Because I can do that!
    Background info: I found a job posting on a student website (I'm a student) to lay out an ebook for someone. Can I just create them an amazing pdf? Or am I in way over my head?
    ***EDIT: So I have just sorta found out what ePub means. According to wikipedia:
    "EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that the text display can be optimized for the particular display device used by the reader of the EPUB-formatted book, although EPUB now also supports fixed-layout content."
    Which I think is my whole issue. So, if I create a layout and export it as an ePub, does it then become a proper ebook that fits peoples displays? Do I make a pdf then turn it into an ePub? I'm guessing my Indesign & Adobe come with an "ePub" button?
    ANY info would be helpful. Thanks.

    The reason Bob has to ask is because 'ebook' is a pretty vague concept. It's an "electronic book", i.e., a text that can be read on an electronic device.
    PDF is a *pretty* safe bet, because that will ensure all people have to do is make sure they can read a PDF on their e-device.
    It's also non-reflowable, just like a regular PDF (not entirely true, by the way, but pretty much).
    "E-Pub" is the common format for dedicated devices such as the Kindle and the Sony reader, and is what iBooks on iPhone and iPad use. This *is* a reflowable format, and (depending on the device and software) usually you can change the font size and type to taste.
    DPS is Adobe's own version, and you can do lots of interesting things with it. It requires Adobe's own DPS reader. Search the Adobe web site for more information on this.
    You can produce a PDF right away with InDesign (don't use "Press Quality" settings for obvious reasons). You can export to the common e-pub format as well, but in that case you'd better investigate a bit deeper than can be answered in this forum, because all you get in that case is a pretty basic layout. Using other software, you can edit and enhance ID's output -- you cannot create any e-pub right away with InDesign any way you like it, it's not "an epub editor".
    For DPS, I suggest you first take a look at what's possible and then what it will cost you.

  • How to create Ticket Booking Functionality in SharePoint 2013 App?

    We have created a Ticket Booking site in Asp.Net.
    In that in Ticket Booking page user can book the ticket and the booked seats will be stored in the database. If there are any booked seats it will be disabled for the user and from other user can book tickets.
    Took reference from this site:
    http://techbrij.com/online-ticket-booking-system-asp-net-sql-server
    Now I want to do same functionality using SharePoint 2013 App Part with SharePoint Hosted App.
    I don't know how to start
    Anybody having Idea.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a Ticket Booking solution as SharePoint Hosted App.
    To build the similar solution in SharePoint, I would suggest you take a look at the links below about how to create ShrePoint Hosted App for a quick start:
    Create Host App:
    How to: Create a basic SharePoint-hosted app
    Create App Part:
    How to: Create app parts to install with your app for SharePoint
    Then for the data storage, here is a documentation will provide more information:
    App data storage:
    Data storage options in apps for SharePoint
    For the responsive UI, HTML plus JavaScript would be OK.
    Feel free to reply if there are still any questions.

  • How to create board game in InDesign

    I
    am trying to create a board game in InDesign, similar to the trivial pursuit board game. In other words, an outer wheel that has been
    divided up in sectionsand then spoes to the center. I think I can figure out how to do the spoes and the center, but I am having problems doing the outer wheel.
    Any ideas? Should I be doing this in photoshop instead?
    Thanks,
    FG

    Pretty much the same thing in Illustrator or ID, but Illy has more sophisticated drawing tools, including things like polar coordinates and duplication that will allow you to drag a copy of one of the line segments around an arc, then repeat at the same angle.
    In any case, you want to make two concentric circles, then draw a series of radial line segments between them. I'd then select all and creat a compound path.

  • How to create floating windows in InDesign for images

    Hi guys, any help on this would be much appreciated.
    I'm designing a document in InDesign that will be exported as an interactive PDF, and within the pages, I have some thumbnail images which, once clicked, will need to open a floating window in the document with the full image. Just wondering if anyone could please help me out with some instructions on how to do so.
    I don't want it to open a browser window, therefore just attaching a hyperlink to a web address is not what I'm after. What I'm hoping is the images can be embedded within the document, and then activated once the thumbnail is clicked.
    Hope that makes sense but if you need me to clarify anything please ask.
    I'm using CS6.

    Go to Tv.Adobe and do a search for interactive and/or object states.
    One other note: search for the topic with workflow export to SWF and replace in PDF.
    If you don't want SWF, then only use buttons (no object states).
    If you don't mind Dutch, take a look at a video at my blog about pop up in PDF etc:

  • How to create photo book from Album without cropping

    I just came from vocation and try to make a cool photo book out of my "best pictures" selection. Most images are "as is" from camera, so have "standard" aspect ratio: H/W.
    I also happy about composition and would like to keep all or most of it.
    I tried several "cool" templates, but can not get results I want: iPhoto randomly place my images on random template, but the painful issue is that it is also randomly crops my images to fit these random layout. It probably try to make it look "cool", but it does not make any sense and does not look cool.
    I can do it all manually and select template for every page, also, changing mask for every image (for some minimum of mask still crops more then half of image, so page layout have to be changed). I have about 200 pictures I picked for album and I am not happy about doing it 200 times.
    It may work for me if iPhoto just flow images without cropping for fit? Extra bonus would be if I can select images I want "big", "medium" or "small"
    Can iPhoto automatically create a simple PhotoBook for printing without killing most images with random and some times more than 50% cropping?

    Canon S90 - it is Advanced P&S. When I say crop I does not mean a little bit on sides I mean iPhoto 11 some times crop 50% of image, some times try to zoom on faces. At any rate, most images just rendered useless. Say you have normal landscape picture of person holding some thing in his hands. iPhoto made super wide strip out of it to fit in 1+2 kind of layout, so what you see is upper half with face, object in hands completely out and you can not change mask as at minimal settings it is still cuts more than half of image out.
    I tried many Themes, but I can not find one that would not destroy my images, that are very typical, hobbits images, with margin usually big enough for small fit crop, but as it is my trip record I would like to keep (naturally, no?) all details in.
    Zoom of face may be cool, but when the rest of image lost, what the point?
    I can go one by one, but this is time consuming for 200 images. It just make sense to have "preserve image" settings or "simple" photo book template some where... but I can no find it: all settings in iPhoto are kept to minimum , Apple style

  • How to create plugin in Adobe InDesign -CS5 using java?

    Hi,
    1.I want to create  new plugin in adobe in design CS5 using java .is it possible using java???Is any one know about  this please help me on this..

    Short answer: No, it isn't possible. The only available option is C++ development in most cases.
    Longer answer: It is possible to develop solutions with Java, depending on circumstances. The only available and truly sensible option is through InDesign Server which exposes InDesigns' scripting API to Java. Keep in mind that it us unavailable for desktop version of the product, and also, that it won't be a plugin, only scripting solutions. This means that you are given access to rather high-level API, and many details are removed. This may or may not be acceptable, depending on what exactly you want to achieve. Sometimes it is possible to avoid integration with Java at all.
