How to link CS5 file to another file

I've done a 12-page newsletter - complete with loads of images etc - using Indesign CS5 with links created by the TOC (Table of Contents) to each of the articles within the newsletter which will be a PDF.
I have been advised that even as a PDF, the document will be far too costly to download on mobile devices/smartphones etc and that in order to circulate it to our mailing list, I need to produce a separate one-page Indesign CS5 file with links to the articles in my original piece of work.
What I now want to do is create a separate file for the front page linking to the main document which will be on our website but having spent the past two days attempting to figure out how to do this myself and trawling through my books and around the internet, I'm none the wiser.
I'd greatly appreciate advice/guidance on the simplest and easiest way to do this with a complete idiot's guide on the steps needed to do so.
Many thanks

CS3:How to link a file to a InDesign document?

Hello all, I looked at in the LinkWatcher sample code to get an idea how to link a file to a document, I came up with the code below, the last line of code needs pageitemUID instead of pageUID which I used it here: IDFile outFile = Utils<ImyUtils>()->getMyFile(); // it reads the file InterfacePtr<IDataLinkHelper> dataLinkHelper(::CreateObject2<IDataLinkHelper>(kDataLinkHelperBoss)); InterfacePtr<IDataLink> dataLinkNew(dataLinkHelper->CreateDataLink(outFile)); IDocument* theFrontDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument(); IDataBase* database = ::GetDataBase(theFrontDoc); InterfacePtr<IDocument> piDoc(theFrontDoc, UseDefaultIID()); InterfacePtr<IPageList> pageList(piDoc, UseDefaultIID()); UID pageUID(kInvalidUID); if (pageList->GetPageCount() > 0) { pageUID = pageList->GetNthPageUID(0); } // I try to link the file to the front document, although it say pageitemUID, as a second //parameter, but I don't want to link the file to a particular page item. is this a right thing to do? int32 result = dataLinkHelper->AddDataLink(database,pageUID, dataLinkNew); as I execute the code it doesn't add the file in Link palette in CS3, but when I pass a UID of one page item such as text frame, it will add the name of file to link palette with a "1" comes to end of row that shows how many times this file was included in the frame. but in case I have not a page item can I use the pageUID instead ? Thanks In Advance, Mor

Lee,
Sorry I think I didn't use the right terminology, somehow I want to include/link the file (not with menu item 'place') programmatically in my current open Indesign document, then I expect to see the filename in Link palette. I can do this with linking to a page item in doc but I don't want to assign it to a particular page item, rather I want to assign it to doc. Is any approach to do it?
Thanks again,
Mor

How to link to file in new window?

I'm building a portfolio site. Right now, I know that I can open a new window when linking to an external page or even one of my own pages. However, I want to link to files that will open a new window instead of reloading the current page. For example, I want to link to an HTML file that references a .SWF. The .SWF and HTML file are in the same folder, so it plays just fine, but I need it in a new window. Any ideas?

In the Inspector, Link to external page, and open in new window.

How to link one menu to another.

Hey guys,
I am creating a user input form for car types and car parts. I want to link one menu to another. I.e. the first menu will be make with a list of car makes, and if the user chooses "Ford" then the next menu will load items from a table "Ford" with the Ford models in it. I have the tables created in a database, one tabel is make with 50 different makes, and then i have 50 other tables for each make with the model types in it.
Sorry if this is confusing please ask me if you need any more info.
Thanks in advance

What you are looking for is a dependent drop-down menu. To get the values for the second menu, you need to send another request to the server, either by submitting the form again, or by using an Ajax request to populate the dependent drop-down. I don't know of any online tutorials for doing this, but you should be able to find something by doing a Google search. I know that "jQuery in Action, Second Edition" by Bear Bibeault and Yehuda Katz (published by Manning) describes in considerable detail how to do this.

How to link to file after download?

Hi,
I'm probably missing something real obvious here. But, I have a button that users use to download a file from the server. They click the button then it pops up a file dialog asking them where they want to save it, what to name it, etc.
That all works fine. But after the file is downloaded, they have to go into Windows Explorer to find the file they just downloaded in order to open it. How do I give similar functionality to a regular browser download where it gives a link to the file they just downloaded, then they can just click that link it and it launches the file in the associated application? Make sense?
Thanks!

Hi,
Don't take this the wrong way (I mean to be helpful here), but -
1) You mentioned this is for a bank, so presumably this file contains potentially confidential data.
2) Someone inside your organisation should really understand the format of this file (rather than giving it to me to understand).
3) Sure I can look at it, but that would fall under my category of 'consultancy work' (I do provide lots of free help in these forums, but I also need to draw the line somewhere!).
If you don't feel comfortable examining the file yourself, is there no-one else on your development team who would be able to take a look at it?

How to create a shortcut and/or how to link a file into the application/download folder

I would like to link a generic button of the keyboard to a file (xls, or multimedia or...) or to an application. Is it possible? I see that is possible to create a link only to a contact!
I'm also interested in moving/link some executable files (like .xls) into the application or download folders... it can be done but I cannot see any icon when I open the Directory from the main menu.
thanks
giona

Are you dragging it to the right side of your Dock? I've got 3 shorcuts to Windows servers in my Dock and put them there simply by dragging.

How to link javascript files in myApp.app directory in IOS from html file in app StorageDirectory

I'm using Adobe Air 3 for IOS offline app, and I want to implement a download updates (html files + js,css) feature from within the application. The files would be displayed in a StageWebView component.
Since Apple doesn't allow saving files inside the installation directory, I must use ApplicationStorageDirectory instead to download files into.
I want those download html files to link to .js / .css files already installed within the main application directory (e.g. at myApp.app).
The reason for that is I want to minimize the number of the downloaded (shared) files as much as possible. Is this possible?
Thank you.

I think this doesn't work in StageWebView:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f7e64a7f12cd2dd1867-8000.html#WS901 d38e593cd1bac354f4f7b12e260e3e67-8000
"Note: Links in a StageWebView instance cannot open URLs that use a custom URI scheme."
So I can't for example do this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="app:/CSS/Templates.css" type="text/css" media="screen, mobile" title="main" charset="utf-8">
What I need is something like the following:
Inside ApplicationStoarageDirectory (/Library/Application Support/):
test.html
I need it to link to a css file located inside ApplicationDirectory (installation directory), something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../MyApp.app/CSS/Templates.css" type="text/css" media="screen, mobile" title="main" charset="utf-8">

How to linking a textfield to another when checkbox is checked.

HI All
Can Anybody please help me;)
I want to do the following: I have to textfileds in a pdf form. Next to the second textfiled is a checkbox. I want to have the second textfiled to be linked to the first one only when the checkbox is checked.
So when the checkbox is checked, the second textfiled should have the same value as the first textfield. Whe the checkbox is not checked The second textfiled can be overwritten and has its own value.
This is my try:
var g = this.getField("checkbox1");
if(g.isBoxChecked(1))
var f = this.getField("Text1");
event.value = f.value;
Now the if statement doesn´t work. But when i just have this:
var f = this.getField("Text1");
event.value = f.value;
It works fine, and both textfiled s have the same value.
Can anybody please help me?;)
I am searching the whole net now for 2 days and haven´t found anything usefull. I also didn´t find anything in the adobe documentations and sample pdf files:(
Thanks for any hint;)
cheers dietmar

Corey,
Use a combo box with the part number and a switch statement (on blur, and commit immediately) linked to several text fields for the description. Something like this:
var combo1 = this.getField("Combo Box5").value;
var endDefault;
var a = this.getField("Text1")
var b = this.getField("Text2")
var c = this.getField("Text3")
switch (combo1){
case "Select an address":
getField("Text1").value = "",
getField("Text2").value = "",
getField("Text3").value = "";
break;
case "Part #1":
getField("Text1").value = "Part #1 Description",
getField("Text2").value = "Line break 1 description",
getField("Text3").value = "Line break 2 description";
break;
case "Part #2":
getField("Text1").value = "Part #2 Description",
getField("Text2").value = "Line break 1 description",
getField("Text3").value = "Line break 2 description";
break;
case "Part #3":
getField("Text1").value = "Part #3 Description",
getField("Text2").value = "Line break 1 description",
getField("Text3").value = "Line break 2 description";
break;
default:
endDefault = false;
if (endDefault = false)
app.alert("Please select from the drop-down menu",3);

How to link a button to another frame in Flash CS3?

I have a button, and on it, there is this code:
on(press){
gotoAndPlay("second");
the frame I want to link to is labeled "second", but the link is not working. What is wrong?

your button is a movieclip button and "second" is not in that timeline or "second" is not in the timeline that contains your button.
to start, don't add code to any object. assign your button an instance name (eg, btn) and use:
var tl:MovieClip=this; // assuming this timeline contains "second"
btn.onPress=function(){ // and you should use an onRelease for this.
tl.gotoAndPlay("second");

Adobe 5.5 Add button to link to file

Hi
I am revising a training in Adobe 5.5 (was working in Adobe 4 previously).    I am wondering how to link a file
to one of the slides using a button.   With Adobe Captivate 4 it was relatively easy.   But in 5.5 the button
does not appear to have a properties box to allow me to link the file. Please can you provide me with instructions for this?
Thanks!
Sandra

Just add the button to the slide, select the button, and then look in the Properties tab > Action accordion.
