How to select a spread in Indesign CS3?
Hello All!
Can somebody give me an idea how to select a spread in Indesign CS3 ?
The simplest script
#target indesign
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
app.activeWindow.zoom(ZoomOptions.FIT_SPREAD);
for (j=0; j < myDocument.spreads.length; j++) {
app.select(myDocument.spreads[j]);
alert("j: " + j);
Windows XP is used, and here this script works in CS4 and CS5 absolutely correct -- I see what it jumps from one spread to next and shows in alert message an index of current spread.
But in CS3 the program only calculates number of next spread but on screen I see the same layout.
May be there is an another way to select spread?
Thank you.
Mikhail
app.activeWindow.activeSpread = myDocument.spreads[j];
app.activeWindow.zoom(ZoomOptions.FIT_SPREAD);

How to change prices by percentage (indesign CS3)
Further to the V.A.T. changes in the UK this has raised some issues in a catalogue we are working on. All the prices are currently based on the old V.A.T. rate of 17.5 percent and we need to do a global change to 15 percent. Obviously the idea of going through and amending thousands of individual prices is not an option and assume someone must have done a plug-in or script, does anybody no of anything out there? we are currently using indesign CS3 - PLEASE HELP DEADLINE FOR PRINT IS WEDNESDAY!?!?!
Shaun,
Have you considered copying the text into Word then performing the percentage change? I am not aware of an option in InDesign that will do what you need. I hope someone else has a better answer. -
How to get UIDRef of the selected page item in indesign cs3
Hi,
I want to get the UIDRef of the selected page item like Rectangle Frame. Can you show me the complete code snippet to get the UIDRef of selected Rectangle Frame. I need this UIDRef for getting the geometric bounds properties(width and height) of the selected rectangle frame to display the user in dialog box.
Regards,
K.Saravanan.Hi,
UIDList selection;
InterfacePtr<ISelectionManager> pSelectionManager(Utils<ISelectionUtils>()->GetActiveSelection(), ISelectionManager::kDefaultIID);
if(pSelectionManager == nil){
break;
InterfacePtr<ILayoutTarget> pLayoutTarget(pSelectionManager->QueryConcreteSelectionBoss(kNewLayoutSelectionBoss), ILayoutTarget::kDefaultIID);
if(pLayoutTarget == nil){
break;
selection = pLayoutTarget->GetUIDList(kDontStripStandoffs);
Then, you can use this interface "IGeometry" to get information about spline size.
InterfacePtr<IGeometry> pGeometry(selection.GetRef(i), IGeometry::kDefaultIID);
if(pGeometry== nil){
break;
PMRect splineBounds = pGeometry->GetStrokeBoundingBox();
PMReal width = splineBounds.Height();
PMReal hight = splineBounds.Width();

How to access indesign cs3 document through VC++
Hello
i am new to VC++, i need to communiacte Indesign CS3 through VC++, for this what can i do? inorder to access indesign docuemnts,
i also need to access a Third party API for CS3 through VC++, for the two puproses, i dont have any idea, so
kindly help me
with regards,
ramHi ram<br /><br />As Olav has pointed out, you need to decide whether to use COM or SDK.<br /><br />SDK is hard core - and I really mean HARD CORE. I consider myself to be a reasonably good VC++ programmer, but when I tried to develop an InDesign plug-in using SDK and VC++ I was completely lost.<br /><br />However it is possible to use VC++ to control InDesign via the COM object.<br /><br />Here is what you should do:<br /><br />1) Make a new VC++ project (MFC, MFC Application)<br />2) In Wizard dialog select Dialog Based and leave everything else unchanged (simply press Next)<br />3) You now have a simple empty dialog with 2 buttons<br />4) Double-click the OK button<br />5) Insert the following code (before OnOK()):<br /><br />// COM support required for this<br />// Call CoInitialize() to initialize the COM library on the current thread<br />if(::CoInitialize(NULL) != S_OK) return;<br /><br />// Create instance of InDesign Application<br />InDesign::_ApplicationPtr app;<br />// Use the appropriate version here<br />// This string will be used to search the registry for the application<br />// associated with it and the same is invoked. <br />// If you have different builds of the same version and you want to work<br />// with a specific build, call CreateProcess() for that build and then<br />// call CreateInstance() so that the currently running instance is returned.<br />app.CreateInstance(L"InDesign.Application.CS3");<br /><br />// Open existing document<br />InDesign::DocumentPtr doc = app->Open("C:\\InDesign\\myDocument.indd", true);<br />InDesign::PagePtr page = doc->Pages->FirstItem();<br />InDesign::TextFramePtr textFrame = doc->TextFrames->FirstItem();<br />textFrame->Contents = "Hello world";<br /><br />6) Go to the start of the file<br />7) Insert the following code before // CAboutDlg dialog used for App About<br /><br />// Required for calling COM initialization methods<br />#include <objbase.h><br /><br />// Import InDesign's Type Library<br />#import "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Scripting Support\5.0\Resources for Visual Basic.tlb"<br /><br />8} Build and run the project (F5). When you press OK, InDesign should launch, open your document, find the first page, find the first TextFrame and replace the text (contents) with "Hello world"<br /><br />How to get in contact with your third-party API is a completely different ball game (not in the scope of this forum), but at least you now have a VC++ project with header files etc.<br /><br />If your third-party API is indeed an InDesign plug-in, I totally agree with Olav that you have to direct your questions to the SDK forum.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Bo

[CS3]How to export a table in InDesign to an excel file?
Hi,
Can any one tell me how to script the process of exporting a table to excel file in InDesign CS3 using javascript?
Thanks in advance.
myRiazSorry, no javaScript, but here are some lines from a localization tool that I made in VB. I simply loop through the Rows and Columns and use the Excel DOM to fill the Excel-cells.
Of course you can read amended/localized Excel files back into inDesign the same way, provided that the tables match (nr of rows and columns).
Afterwards you could loop through the characters of each cell to apply the formatting that you want to keep in Excel, such as SuperScripts.
Hope it helps you.
Set myExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
myExcel.Visible = True
Set myTableBook = myExcel.Workbooks.Add
Set myTableSheet = myTableBook.Worksheets.Item(1)
myTableSheet.Columns.ColumnWidth = 35
myTableSheet.Cells.VerticalAlignment = xlVAlignTop
myTableSheet.Cells.WrapText = True
For R = 1 To myTable.Rows.Count
Set myTableRow = myTable.Rows.Item(R)
For C = 1 To myTableRow.Cells.Count
Set myTableCell = myTableRow.Cells.Item(C)
If Len(myTableCell.Contents) = 0 Then
myTableSheet.Cells(R, C) = ""
Else
myTableSheet.Cells(R, C) = myTableCell.Contents
myTableSheet.Cells(R, C).Value = Replace(myTableSheet.Cells(R, C).Value, "1397058884", "—")
myTableSheet.Cells(R, C).Value = Replace(myTableSheet.Cells(R, C).Value, Chr(13), Chr(10))
End If
Next C
Next R
good luck

How can I find the total word count in my entire Indesign CS3 document?
I have a book that consists of 10 different files and many many different text boxes. I need to find out what the total word count is for the entire book. Is there a simple way to do this, or do I have to copy and paste all the text from InD into a word file to get the number? Your help is much appreciated.
This AppleScript will get the total word counts of a folder of ID files—it shouldn't be too hard to convert to JavaScript if you are not using OSX:
tell application "Finder"
activate
set myFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select the folder containing the files to count"
set myFiles to every file of folder myFolder whose file type is "IDd5"
end tell
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set wordcounts to {}
set total to 0
repeat with j from 1 to (number of items in myFiles)
open item j of myFiles
tell active document
tell every story
set wordcounts to wordcounts & (count every word)
end tell
set totalstories to count every item of wordcounts
repeat with i from 1 to totalstories
set total to total + (item i of wordcounts)
end repeat
close
end tell
end repeat
display dialog "The documents in the selected folder have a total of " & totalstories & " stories, and " & total & " words"
end tell
========================================
If you just want the active document's count it would be:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell active document
set wordcounts to {}
tell every story
set wordcounts to wordcounts & (count every word)
end tell
set total to 0
set totalstories to count every item of wordcounts
repeat with i from 1 to totalstories
set total to total + (item i of wordcounts)
end repeat
display dialog "Total words in all " & totalstories & " stories: " & total

How to learn Indesign CS3 SDK programming for windows
Hi,<br /><br />I am very new to plugin development.I am working in Indesign CS3 SDK (windows).<br /><br />But I am not able to write /understand the syntax of InterfacePtr.<br /><br />for eg :<br /><br />InterfacePtr<IClassIDData> orgDocFileHandlerData(doc, IID_ORGICLASSIDDATA); <br /><br />We get Pointer of any Interface , and pass some arguments .<br /><br />So can anybody help how to learn this programming , I am not finding any <br /><br />books or tutorials on this so that I can read from the basic. I have only <br /><br />referred to Programming Guide(CS3). Can anybody please help/explain me how <br /><br />to learn it?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Ravi Sharma
It's only my way of understanding about InDesign SDK :<br /><br />* SDK objects are know as 'boss(es)' and are accessed thru interfaces.<br />* You can imagine object as collection of interfaces. And you can even aggregate new interfaces to existing objects.<br />* When you have a reference to an interface of a boss, you can access other interfaces (of the same boss - or object) using the *amazing* syntax : (here, doc is a probably an IDocument interface on a kDocBoss object, and you want to access it's IClassIDData interface)<br />InterfacePtr<IClassIDData> orgDocFileHandlerData(doc, IID_ORGICLASSIDDATA); <br />* And finally, InterfacePtr has a reference counter, which allows the framework to destroy the interface object - not the boss of course, only the memory used by the object - when it's non mre referenced.<br /><br />HTH !

How to download latest InDesign CS3 Server Installer?
Hi there,
Anyone can help me point to the right direction, how to download the latest InDesign CS3 Server Installer (without the error).?
been looking for couple of days in this adobe site, but nothing found.
Thank you.
Regards
Jimmy HarjadiI would guess you'll need to contact customer service. CS3 products are no longer posted as demo downloads. InDesign server is a licensed product, and presumably if you bought the license you were given media or a link at that time. If you've lost that, Customer service would be th only ones who can help.
