How to Set Bookmarks in Indesign CS5.5?

Hi,
I'm having problems getting more than 2 bookmarks to work once I export my Indesign file to an interactive pdf. The bookmarks work within Indesign but when I export the file as a pdf, only two of the three bookmarks work properly. What could be the problem?
Thank you,
Kristie

Text flow to additional pages at end of document, how to set up in InDesign CS5

I've added additional pages to a document in InDesign CS5 -- but how do I set up my document so when text is supposed to get pushed to the additional pages the text flows from page to page on these extra added pages? Right now I've added additional pages to the end of my document and when the text from the original document gets pushed past the end it disappears and not continued on the additional pages.
Thanks,
Jeff

Yeah, container may not be the best word to describe a book, which is why I put it in quotes, and I certainly didn't mean to imply that you can no longer open and edit the files outside the book. Doing that, however, means next time you open the book ID will complain and ask you to update things. No big deal, but if you open through the book panel it will save the changes through the book and that won't happen. No difference to the inidividual files.
Historically - as in *roff and other UNIX-based processing programs like xroff, nroff, etc - books that were published from multiple individual component files, were produced by the use of a "makefile." You'd need to create the makefile by typing the names of the component files in the book order, along withtheir specifications, such as starting page side, starting page number, etc. You'd save the makefile with a name to preserve all this information, then you'd run the "make" command-line command in which you'd name the makefile, and include arguments such as which printer, how many copies, even a job priority, to avoid unnecessarily hogging the network bandwidth and free the printer for higher-priority jobs. As GUI capable hardware and software progressed, command-line makefiles became GUI book files - still, basically lists of component files and processing instructions.
One important value of book files that don't contain component files is that different book files can control the processing of the same component files in different ways, as well as produce books that use some of the same files and some different files - for different audiences, different product sets, etc. Yes, opening a book file may warn that component files have changed - a good warning to the user to pay attention - and they offer a way to update the collection of component files so that the book file produces the desired result. Here's where some folks may be surprised when they find that sometimes a print or export dialog box, either retains or forgets the settings used for the previous run; the result may be printing multiple copies instead of one, printing to a different printer than expected, or exporting a PDF that's not suitable for the desired printer.
The short story is that while book processing lists that are separate from the component files offer flexibility and reusability, but they also require that the user pays attention.
Did I commingle Autoflow and Smart Text Reflow in some way? I didn't think so.
Not at all. I'm just extra-sensitive to my own experiences with not having taking pains to keep clear on the differences between these similar-sounding terms.
My point was that HOW your text was put into the file to begin with, coupled with how your settings for STR are configured, is going to control whether subsequent editing triggers reflow. It's possible to have STR enabled and not have it work because you've limited it to master text frames and you haven't actually used any. An understanding of how autoflow works when placing text is important to being able to troubleshoot why STR is not behaving as expected (not to mention why text frames may not be adjusting if you edit the master page).
One reason for the confusions that come from working with Smart Text Reflow is that there's no indication in the UI, that STR is enabled, and when it's enabled, there's no indication in the UI of which STR settings are in effect, except by seeing the behavior. Are pages added at the end or story, section, or document? You may see them added in the Pages panel, if it's open, on screen, and if the appropriate portion of the document is in view; you may see them added on screen if the appropriate portion of the document is on screen - the end of story, section, or document.
In InDesign's Help, Smart Text Reflow is covered in only a few paragraphs. As you noted, there's much more to it.

How to set default printer in CS5

I've been using Photoshop CS5 x64, in Windows 7 x64, ever since it came out. I print photographs on an Epson Stylus Photo R2400. I also have an HP Laserjet, for printing documents.
Whenever I am printing photographs, I change the default printer, in Control Panel, Devices & Printers, to the Epson. Until the last couple of weeks, this has always put the Epson in the default position in the 'Printer' field of the Print Dialog.
But now the printer field always shows the HP Laserjet.
This isn't true in any other program. MS Word 2010, Adobe Acrobat, Notepad, Opera, Internet Explorer: they all show the Epson as the default printer. So it seems more likely to be a Photoshop problem than a Windows problem.
I have the latest Photoshop update, and Windows 7 Service Pack 1. I have the latest drivers (2007) for the Epson. And I've trashed my Photoshop prefs.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks
Mary

>>If you change the printer in the Photoshop Print dialog, choose [Done], then re-save the PSD, does it come up next time with the proper default?<<
Well, yes it does, to my surprise--whether I save as PSD or TIF. This is true both of new files (via file dialog) and of existing DNG files newly saved as TIFs in Camera Raw.
I've now tried opening old files other than the ones I've been working on for the past month. They all default to the Epson printer--not surprising, since I always save files after printing, so that the print settings stick.
The problem files are the ones I've worked on recently. When opened, they all default to the HP printer. So I'll have to open, change Print settings and save about 200 files. I'll write an action.
I can't imagine how they got set to the HP in the first place. I've tried turning off the Epson and creating a new file: the Print dialog still says Epson R2400.
Thanks for your message. It got me to focus more closely on just which files were problematic.

How to install fonts in indesign cs5 mac

My designer sent me some fonts for a document they created for me, but I have been unable to figure out how to install the fonts. Google search and adobe search and still I am not able to figure this out. I am using macintosh os 10.64.
Can someone provide any guidance?

If you've already searched Google for something like "install fonts on mac 10.6" and have followed the instructions on the first link (under "Locations where fonts can be stored") then you'll have to post more details for us to help you. For example:
Which fonts are they? (Not all fonts can be used by a Mac, like Type 1 fonts for Windows. Give us the complete name of the font, hopefully with a file extension.)
How do you know they are missing? (Sure, when you open up the document it gives you a missing font warning, but it might just be a font naming problem, like InDesign is looking for "Helvetica Neue LE Regular" and your font is called "Helvetica Neue Regular." You can use Find Font under the Type menu to find & replace if necessary. If you don't see the missing font warning when you open the file, how do you know the fonts are missing?)
Where have you tried to install them? (There's quite a few places to install a font on a Mac; have you tried any of them? It's worth pointing out that installing multiple copies of fonts in multiple locations can cause fonts to not be read in some circumstances.)
What version of InDesign are you using? (If it's CS5 and there's a "Document Fonts" folder in the same folder as the InDesign document you're trying to open, then InDesign is supposed to be able to read them, but sometimes it borks up and you have to move or delete the Document Fonts folder in order to get it to work.)
and there are other minor possibilities like
What languages are the fonts supposed to support? (InDesign puts its Chinese, Arabic etc. fonts all the way at the bottom of its window)
and
Are you sure that the fonts aren't damaged? (What size are the files? Are they still in a zipped folder? Maybe they were broken when you downloaded them from your email.)
et cetera

How to set Bookmark element to expand

Hi All,
First I'll explain the solution so that you understand what I'm trying to accomplish.
The solution involves several PDF files and each one is linked by the bookmark using the following DDX:
<Bookmark>
    <Action>
          <Launch NewWindow="true">
               <File Name="MyFile.pdf"/>
          </Launch>
     </Action>
     <Title>Contents</Title>
</Bookmark>
Each PDF file will contains the same bookmark hierarchy data which consist of several levels, therefore they contain the links to the other PDF files. Each time one of the bookmark element is clicked the bookmark resets back to it's orginal state of collapsed since it is opening a new pdf file.
I'm trying to dynamically assemble a bookmark.xml file with a pdf document. There are two things I want to accomplish through the bookmark.xml:
1. Set one specific bookmark element to expanded when it's rendered
2. Set the focus (or highlight) a specific bookmark element when it's rendered.
Basically each time a bookmark item is clicked I want to maintain the user's last selected bookmark item to be expanded when the new pdf file is displayed.
I've attached a sample pdf file in which I can manipulate the expanding and collapsing of the bookmark via javascript, I need to figure out how to do this via the xml file that defines the bookmark hierarchy and functions, since the bookmark is merged with the PDF via the Assembler DSC service.
Is this possible? If yes what xml tag would accomplish this? Please provide any suggestion or alternative solution. Currently I have two alternative solution (html or flex UI) but this involves additional depencies outside of LiveCycle, I'd like to create a solution that is completely Adobe LiveCycle.
Thanks,
s_stuff

Perhaps as a workaround I could insert javascript into the resulting pdf.
I want to insert the following script:
function CollapseExpand(bkm, nLevel, bookmarkNm){
    var s = "";
    for (var i = 0; i < nLevel; i++) s += " ";
    if (bkm.children != null){
        for (var i = 0; i < bkm.children.length; i++) {
            if (bkm.children[i].name == bookmarkNm){
                if (bkm.children[i].open == 1) bkm.children[i].open = 0;
                else                            bkm.children[i].open = 1;
            CollapseExpand(bkm.children[i], nLevel + 1, bookmarkNm);
The Adobe DDX reference mentions this:
<PDF result="resultDoc">
        <PDF source="pdf1"/>
        <JavaScript source="js1", name="onOpen"/>
</PDF>
I’m not sure if I can put the entire function code to replace js1. Is this workaround doable. How can I insert javascript via ddx?

How to set MinimumOSVersion iOS Flash CS5.5

Hi,
I thought I was finally ready to submit my app to the app store but then I realised I never saw anywhere to set the MinimumOSVersion for my app using Flash CS5.5, I need to set it to 5.1
I have done alot of searching and brought up some old threads about manually changing the Info.plist file by unzipping it on a mac then re code signing it back together again. (nightmare)
Is this still the case as the below threads are a bit old? Is there any other way to do this? Or is this still the only way to set the MinimumOSVersion using Adobe Air on Flash CS5.5. This seems to be a huge thing missing from Air? Will Adobe ever make this easy or is it Apples fault.
Surely we can edit some Air 3.2 core files that set the MinimumOSVersion in the first place. I did do a quick check by unzipping and it seems Adobe Air is magically targeting iOS 4.0
If anyone has any idea if its possible to edit the core Air 3.2 files so that it targets iOS 5.1 that would be a great help and probabaly easier than dissecting my .ipa file.
Here are the below related threads.

Hi,
Thanks for a speedy reply.
My app is basically a hybrid app (web app in a native container) When I was testing, the scrolling in my app did not work on iOS4 and the whole app was very slow but on iOS5.1 it was fine and very quick. I’m guessing the safari version made the difference.
I know it will get rejected if I submit it as they will test on iOS4 which doesn’t work well at all and I don’t want users using it on iOS4 as it’s a bad experience. I know I am probably going to reduce my installs if it’s only for iOS5.1 but its only a free App and I don’t see any option if on iOS4 it’s pretty much broken.
I really hope there’s an easy way or my last month’s work has been pretty much pointless.

How to set InDesign CS5 as the default in the system having InDesign CS4 has the default ?

How to set InDesign CS5 as the default .indd application when you have InDesign CS4 and CS5 installed and InDesign CS4 is the current default (InDesign CS4 was installed after CS5 installation)

Thanks, but I already tried it at first but it is not the effective method.
I think its because of the this reason :
Both - InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS5 have their application/program/exe named as "indesign.exe".
Installation of either InDesign CS4 or InDesign CS5, sets a Windows default path for the "indesign.exe". In this case, since InDesign CS4 was installed later (after InDesign CS5 was already installed), the "indesign.exe" which was directing InDesign CS5's "indesign.exe" was replaced by InDesign CS4's "indesign.exe".
But after long google and search through regedit, I've got the solution :
Locate HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command in regedit
Change the value of (Default) attribute to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\InDesign.exe" "%1" // Include the quotes

How to make a handwriting font look like real handwriting in InDesign CS5

This is a script I've written (AppleScript) that addresses the problem most handwriting fonts have — they look like fonts, mostly because they're settled so regularly along the baseline and their glyphs are so uniform.
It began as a way for me to address a need for a project I was working on, something designed to look like a scrapbook. I was using the "Journal" typeface designed by Fontourist (http://www.dafont.com/journal.font), which gave me a good balance of readability and organic feel, but of course it had the same issues as all other fonts of its ilk.
To address that I wrote a script to trawl the taxt frames in a specified CS5 INDD document, looking fist to see if they had that font as their active one, after which the script shifts each glyph up or down the baseline by a random amount, gives each glyph a random stroke weight change, and finally tints each glyph a random amount off of its basic tint.
Each of these changes is very subtle, with the result being something that looks considerably more organic and hand-made than the font did out of the can. The script should be easily modified by anyone who wants to run it using a different font instead of "Journal". Here it is. Enjoy!
-- This script changes the baseline offset, stroke width, and color tint
-- of any type set in the "Journal" typeface to randomized values, giving
-- the text a much more organic look and feel.
-- Written by Warren Ockrassa, http://indigestible.nightwares.com/
-- Free to use, modify and distribute, but I'd prefer attribution.
-- Note that this script can take quite a while to execute with larger
-- or more complex files.

                             set stroke tint of thisCharacter to myTint

     end tell
     beep
     display dialog "Modifications finished!" buttons {"Groovy!"} default button 1
else
     display dialog "Operation cancelled" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end if

For the fonts, the really cheap and dirty method would probably be to load the names of the fonts you want to use into an array variable in the AppleScript, then get a random index count to grab one of the font names out of that array.
The script as it exists now goes character by character - you'd want to revise it so it went word by word instead, or else you'd end up setting each word's character to one of your random font choices. Instead of
repeat with thisCharacter in (characters of myText)
you'd do something like
repeat with thisWord in (words of myText)
As for loading an array variable in AppleScript - I've not done that before, but it's probably something like:
set myFontArray to {"Papyrus", "Arial", "Comic Sans"}
The curly braces are necessary, as it appears that AppleScript supports lists rather than arrays (a minor but not entirely unimportant detail). Anyway, from there, you'd grab one font at a time, randomly, probably like this:
set myWordFontNumber to random ( length of myFontArray ) - 1
set myWordFont to item myWordFontNumber of myFontArray
You do the first line to get a random number based on the number of items in your list of fonts. You subtract 1 from it because the count on the actual list begins at 0 rather than 1, which means that sometimes you'll get a random number that's actually 1 larger than the number of items in the list, and you'll never see the first item (which is at position 0). This is a very old-school gotcha when working with arrays and lists - a ten-item list will count from 0 to 9, not 1 to 10.
From there, you'd set the given word in your text frame's font to the name of the font you pulled out of the myFontArray variable. You'll want to make sure that the font names you load into your list are the actual names of the fonts you're working with - the examples I used here probably won't work.
Please note that this is just a high-level gloss of what you'd need to do in order to modify the script. You'll have to hit the AppleScript documentation (and InDesign's scripting documentation) to get the precise syntax.

How do I use a Korean font in an English version of Indesign CS5*

I have created an English brochure for a client, and the same brochure was translated into German. Now I am being asked for a Korean version. Can someone provide some guidance on how best to proceed in Adobe Indesign CS5? I gather that I use Apple Gothic or another font... but it doesn't show up as Korean. Also, is Korean a vertically read font?
Thanks!

Also, is Korean a vertically read font?
Korean is occasionally set vertically, but it's an extremely old-fashioned technique outside of a few limited areas - some ads, the spines of books, et cetera.
To be honest, I'd say "package your InDesign file and send it to a firm or freelancer that specializes in English to Korean translation, with experience in the subject matter of your brochure." It sounds like you are asking for automated machine translation within InDesign; ID has no such ability. There are ways to flow automated machine translations into ID documents, but you're most likely to find those tools in the hands of translation agencies anyways.
No matter where you get your translation done, I'd advise against you trying to typeset the Korean yourself - there are issues with Korean in English-language ID. Without some careful setup, ID will treat Korean characters as if they were Chinese, and will break Korean words in incorrect locations instead of at spaces.
