How to embed data into an InDesign Document

Hello everybody,
I'm porting a QuarkXTension to InDesign CS3 on PC but, maybe, I've found a showstopper...
The current xtension writes some collected data into a document slug that is retrieved by an external application simply scanning the content of the file.
I need to maintain the same way with InDesign but I've discovered that the persistent data added to a document workspace doesn't stay all together when is more than few KBytes (everything seems to be ok until 2 KBytes but that's too little) inside the InDesign document but is scattered on many locations. Of course this makes the work of the external application impossible.
Is there any way to command/force inDesign to write the persistent data insidde the file in one single chunk?
I understand this is something unusual but that's the way that complex publishing workflow works and can't be changed in that part.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Luca Severini

I think I have found a possible solution to embed my data in a way readable by an external application. To use the XMP toolkit.
Very interesting the fact XMP Toolkit includes the source of a simple command line tool that parses the xmp embedded into InDesign file.
The same source can be easily modified to get all the objects contained in the document aka database.
Bye
Luca

How do I get a Euro into my InDesign document?

I need to know how to insert a euro symbol into my Indesign document.
I have looked at other posts and the suggestion of holding down the Alt key with 0128 doesn't work for me.
Does anyone have any other suggestions please?
I am based in England.
Thanks

Hey, I'm from Ireland and the Euro symbol is a pita.
The keyboard comes fitted with an Alt Gr + 4 (the right alt key and the number 4 on the top row) but that does not translate well across RIPs and often come out as question marks or blank squares.
Please use the Euro Font that is available for free http://www.adobe.com/type/eurofont.html
Usually I will use a symbol I don't usually use in the document (being in Ireland I don't need the £ symbol at all), so I use that symbol but in the Euro Font, available in 3 different flavours with different weights.
So pick a symbol you won't use and then apply the Euro font.
I have a nested style for Euro symbols that applies it as a character style. And with CS4 it should be possible to use a GREP STYLE to apply the Euro font to anywhere you need the Euro symbol to show up.
It's really the best option as it's a font and it's a character of a font and it won't drop out of the RIP.
(Suggestions for alt characters to use could be ¬ or $ or ~ or #, for example. That way if you need to find $ or £ you still can without finding all the Euro Symbols too)

Embedding SWF file into an Indesign document and later export as PDF

Hi to everybody,
I am searching now since 3 days for good solution of my problem. First I wanna tell you that the problem is not just to convert a swf-file into a pdf. I did this many times with all animations, page flip and stuff.My situation is the following:
I have varios catalogues with more or less 12 pages each in an indesign format. Now I created an animated scroll down menu, which appears on an "index-page". On the menu I created buttons. One button for each catalogue. So the idea of the whole thing is to open a document and an index page appears where you have the animated menu and you choose the catalogue you wanna see. Until here it is quite easy. I created a swf file of each catalogue with my animations (as the special page turnover e.g.). So that I just need von Object in with I can load the different swf-files of these catalogues. I already did the process. I linked the buttons to the different swf files and so. So the problem is now when it comes to convert the whole thing into a PDF. Of course I convert it first to swf and then to PDF. After converting it to swf it works 100% fine, but in PDF not, suddenly the swf-files of the catalogues disappear.
So the summary is, that I don't know how to embed swf files into an indesign document, creat buttons and interactions next to swf file, then save it to another swf, and then to a pdf without losing the first swf files within the pdf.
Hope I made my self clear would be too nice if someone could help me or if someone may have a better idea of realizing the whole project.

Jeffrey,
Thank you for the answer. As you have written:
I will also add that the ID's play mode contol [plays once] [repeat play] does not always control the file once in Acrobat.
I presume you mean version of ID older than CS4 or version of Acrobat Reader older than 9.1
It that is the case I will strongly recommend my visitors to upgrade to this version.
I hope that would work.
Thanks again.

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

How to embed excel into a region on portal AS

How to embed excel into a region on portal AS??
Any suggestions will be appreciated...

Hmm. topic is from 2005. But havent they gotten something better than iframes since 2005??? I find iframes not flexible enough to paste in portlets, made by, say mod_plsql into a article publisher tool.
For example, I want to make an article using my companies article publication tool (Intranett publisher) saying..
Blah blah blah
If you look at the table below u see the current data updated every hour:
<iframe call to portlet with data>
This data is blah blah blah etc
When I use iframe I have to set the size (I dont know how big table will be in the future), and get ugly borders with scrollbars if I dont set size right. Isnt it any better code out there yet? Hopefully as easy as embed pictures from the outside.

Hi,
Any one know's how to insert data into the mysql table by giving as a text file as the input in JSP.Please respond ASAP.

At least you can try StringTokenizer to parse your text files. Or download a text JDBC driver to parse your files, for instance, HXTT Text(www.hxtt.net) or StelsCSV(www.csv-jdbc.com).

How to put data into a RFC import parameter structure from portal

Hi, All,
I have a RFC in which an import parameter is a structure (not a table). I want to put data into that structure. I know how to put data into a table or a string. I tried to use
IRecordSet MyTABStr = (IRecordSet)structureFactory.getStructure(function.getParameter("MYTABSTR").getStructure());
MyTABStr.setString("FIELD1", value1);
MyTABStr.setString("FIELD2", value2);
importParams.put("MYTABSTR",MyTABStr);
But it works for table not structure. Is there anybody know how to do that?
Thanks in advance!
Meiying

Hi,
You can try the following code -
IRecord structure = (IRecord)structureFactory.getStructure(function.getParameter("MYTABSTR").getStructure());
structure.setString("FIELD1", value1);
structure.setString("FIELD2", value2);
importParams.put("MYTABSTR",structure);

How to use CrossReference and DVM in ODI &how to populate data into Xref

Can any one tell how to use Domain Value Maps and Cross Referencing in ODI?
DVM or Domain Value Map are created and used in ESB console of SOA suite.
My actual requirement is as follows:
The below steps describe loading data from ERP Application 1 to ERP Application 2.
1. The Source Application ERP APP1, populates the interface table using their native technology.
2. A job scheduler invokes the Source side ODI Package.
3. ODI then extracts the data from Source Interface table and populates the Target Interface table.
4. After populating the Target interface table the ODI populates the X-ref table with App 1 ID and generated common ID.
5. The ODI either deletes or updates the rows that were processed from the Source interface table.
6. On the Target Application ERP APP2, the native application extracts data from target interface table and populates target database there by generating ERP Application 2 ID.
7. A job scheduler on the Target application invokes the ODI package to populate the Application 2 ID onto the Xref table matching on the Common ID.
I just want to know :
1. How to populate data into the Xref table from Source datastore
2. And if data is successfully laoded from target datastore to actual base table of target then how to populate the target id into the cross reference table.

can anyone suggest me some answer, then it would be of great help?

How to upload data into form of Oracle EBS R12 using ATS ver 9.0

Hi experts,
Could you please guide me how to upload data into form on Oracle EBS R12 using Oracle Application Testing Suite verson 9.(The simpliest way)
For example: I need to create user account on Oracle EBS. Normally, I use Dataloader to upload the data, however it just can upload one by one record, cannot upload multi record at same time. Moreover if the performance of server is low, so I will get the issue when using dataloader.
Thanks in advance

Hi you can create Virtual users to enter data. Note than you have to name the objects accordingly.
For Example default recording provided by Open script is ObjectNAME_(Index No of the object).
when you record one iteration the name of any object would be ObjectNAME_(0)
You can then create virtual users so the index will increment as the total number of Virtual users increases. Also you have to handle which row of your test data would get mapped to which Virtual user in the script run session.
Thanks

Is it possible to link text from Pages into an InDesign document [as you can with Google docs]?

In InDesign, you can get a plug-in [word flow] which allows you to link the text in a Google Docs document into an InDesign document, so that you can edit the text in Google Docs [on your computer/tablet etc] and it will update in the InDesign document. Additionally, if you edit the text in teh InDesign docuemnt, the Google Docs file is also updated.
Is there a plug-in for Pages? Or a way to do this [without ditching Pages and starting to use Google Docs]?
Thanks

There are no plugins for Pages for iOS. Period.

How to load data into user tables using DIAPIs?

Hi,

But I don't have know how to load data into this user table. I guess I have to use UserTable object for that. But I still don't know how to put some data in particular column.
Can somebody please help me with this?
I would appreciate if somebody can share their code in this regard.
Thank you,
Sudha

You can try this code:
Dim lRetCode As Long
Dim userTable As SAPbobsCOM.UserTable
userTable = pCompany.UserTables.Item("My_Table")
'First row in the @My_Table table
userTable.Code = "A1"
userTable.Name = "A.1"
userTable.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_1stF").Value = "First row value"
userTable.Add()
'Second row in the @My_Table table
userTable.Code = "A2"
userTable.Name = "A.2"
userTable.UserFields.Fields.Item("U_1stF").Value = "Second row value"
userTable.Add()
This way I have added 2 lines in my table.
Hope it helps

Hi ,
1.)You must have to create a EO based on custom table and then VO based on this EO eventually to save the values in DB
2.) the row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED); is used to set the the status of row as inialized ,this is must required.
3.) When u will create the VO based on EO the viewattributes will be created in VO which will be assigned to the fields to take care the db handling .
You must go thtough the lab excercise shipped with you Jdeveloper ,there is a example of Create Employee page ,that will solve your number of doubts.
Thanks

How to embed html into keynote

I want to embed the youtube code for a vid into my keynote presentation so when I export to flash I can post the entire thing online, the presentation will work and I can watch the vid too. Any thoughts on how to embed html into a keynote page?
Thanks,
Jeremy

The only way to get video out of Keynote that I know of, is the QuickTime export. Now, if you use another tool after that (to convert the QuickTime video) that might be able to work for you.
