I need a script for importing a PDF into IDCS3

I used the script that came with InDesign... specifically PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx...
And that worked well.. except for the fact that we just found out that this large PDF has oversize pages (larger than 8.5 x 11) and that plugin is not shrinking to fit. I had a plugin for IDCS2 that would give me import options.. but this PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx doesnt seem to have any options...

There's a script in the InDesign Interchange site called PDF Multipage Import MAC that will do it, if you know the percentage that you want the PDF scaled to.
It's my Martin Sretr. It's written for CS, but I think you know how to deal with that, Chris.

Best way for importing a PDF into FCE please

Hi there friends,
Can someone advise me the best was to import/work with a PDF I would like to bring into a FCE edit...
Regards,
Chris

Hi -
*If it is an unlocked PDF*, open it in the app "Preview", use the selection tool to select the area you want to show in FCE, type Command + C to copy it, and go to the menu File > New from clipboard and your selection will open in a new document.
Go to the menu File > Save As, choose Format PNG and a Resolution of 72 pix or lower and name and save it.
Then Open FCE and either drag the file to your browser or go to the menu File > Import > Files and navigate to the image you just made and click OK.
Hope this helps.

Automate script for import data

automate script for importing data to the cube from txt files.
Ex: - I have below 2 files for import
aaaa.txt
bbbb.txt
For the above simply i can write esscmd or Maxl script for importing files .
Esscmd :
IMPORT 3 "\aaaa.txt" 4 "N";
IMPORT 3 "\bbbb.txt" 4 "N"
my question , suppose if some more files added to the existing files, for example cccc.txt got added ,how can i write a code for this?

Well I guess this will do
dataDir=" " # Give the data directory path here
maxlFile="maxl1.msh"
cd $dataDir
for file in `ls *` ;
do
maxlStmt="import database sample.basic data from data_file '$file' using rules_file 'xxx.rul'
on error write to 'xxx.log';";
printf $maxlStmt >> $maxlFile
done
ls * is lists all the files in the directory. If you want to be more specific and if you yhink tat your data folder may contain more files then you can use "ls *.txt" if your file extension to load is txt.
Well I haven't tested this as I am on vacation...So you can just follow the similar way.
This is only for the 3rd point which you said

How do I import a .PDF into inDesign?

How do I import a .PDF into inDesign? Does anybody know how? I need to edit a book in inDesign that is a .PDF. So if anyone know how to do that please tell me.

Bob, Peter, grmg, many thanks for your very helpful comments. Delighted mac/pc not relevant. Will scratch that from list of herrings to chase.
Re PDFs - actually, I'm working in Acrobat (not just a finalized PDF), and Acrobat does of course allow editing of a sort; I'd concluded that since Adobe is willing to tolerate that degree of editing with its product, it should therefore tolerate moving its native format (*.pdf) into another of its own native formats (*.indd). I see that's a misconception.
This morning I tried all flavors I could find of getting my Acrobatted content into ID3, including copy/paste, place, and import (from the ID side); none was satisfactory. Output from Acrobat to Word and then placing Word was fine for English but destroyed the Greek - not just wrong font, but complete gobbledygook and loss of all diacriticals. Names of fonts don't matter for my purposes; the legibility of the English, and the legibility and tonic accuracy of the Greek do matter. Author of this project is not tech-savvy and is using old Greek system as well; nothing he or i can do to fix that.
Current plan is to request author to provide me his native files, which will be Mac files. Am I understanding the Import dialog and your collecitve comments to suggest that with that file resident on my PC (and unopened), I can use the Place dialog, with "Show Options" selected, to get the Mac file into ID?
Chapeaux to those of you with constructive comments - hugely appreciated.

How to import epub/pdf into macvericks' ibooks ?

how to import epub/pdf into macvericks' ibooks ?

Placing the PDF into an InDesign document shouldn't be a problem, but if it is, please post back. What I think you're asking for is how to edit a PDF with InDesign, which can't be done. You would need the source document, edit that and then export to another PDF (if PDF is the end goal). There are some programs that can edit PDFs or convert PDFs to other formats (Word, InDesign, etc.), and they will work to one extent or another. You should expect to have to rework parts of it should you go that way. Keep in mind that PDF is generally considered a final document that isn't intended to be edited.

I need a script that copies the filename into the file

I need a script that copies the filename into 4th column of each line in the text doc file.
I have over 2000 different file names each containing 6 columns and ~50-100 rows.
I can do this manually using this script:
awk '{print $1"\t"$2"t\"$3"\t <name> \t"$6}'
But I would like an automation command or script. Is there any command that I can use instead of <name> that will copy the filename into the column?
Thanks
Monica

Oops, I forgot the redirect to a file. It's not a good idea to edit files in place. A script could fail and you're left with at least one file ruined. It's better to create new files then delete the old files.
for file in *; do
    while read col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6; do
        printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" $col1 $col2 $col3 $file $col6
    done < $file > n$file
done
You could narrow the files listed such as
for file in *.tsv
and redirect the new files to another directory. Such as
done < $file > /absolute/path/to/directory/$file

Is it possible to import a pdf into Adobe Story?

I tried to import a pdf into Adobe Story and received the message: "Failed to import document".
If this is not possible, what kind of files/types of pictures (e.g. jpeg, tiff,...) can be imported?

You can import a .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .gif image in an AV/Multicolumn script.

I need to convert hundreds of TRANSPARENT PDFs into PNG or TIFF

I need to convert hundreds of TRANSPARENT PDFs into PNG or TIFF.
That's not possible with Acrobat. It’s possible to convert hundreds of PDFs into PNG or TIFF using batch processing. But transparency is LOST!
Photoshop is the only software I know of which is able to keep transparency when converting from PDF to PNG.
But now I have problems to get batch processing running.
I made an Action with “Open file”, “Save as PSD” and “Export to PNG”.
Using this Action in batch-process-files with source as a folder with many PDFs and target as a different folder results in many opened PDFs within Photoshop. Nothing else happens:-(.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Norbert

Great:)
It worked at once.
Thank you so much for this link.
Best regards

Importing a pdf into photoshop CC and it corrupts the artwork slightly but in older photoshop version it does not corrupt?

Hi
When Importing a pdf into photoshop CC it corrupts the artwork slightly but in older photoshop version it does not corrupt? Please help as this corruption slightly marked the artwork, it was then printed and is going to cost my company thousands to replace. [email protected]

"Slightly corrupted" sounds very much akin to "slightly pregnant". Hard to imagine.
I assume you're referring to some sort of image quality deterioration or some added artifacts.
Could you post a screen shot? Just so that someone familiar with PDFs opened in CC can form an idea of the nature of the "corruption" and where the cause might lie.
If you post back, please give complete hardware and software details about your setup, including the exact version of CC so they can see if all updates have been applied.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
software settings,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

Is there a way to import a .pdf into a pages document and have it wrap to a 2nd page?

Are we talking about a spread? ie the pdf spans 2 pages side by side? Like in a magazine centrefold.
That requires you to insert the pdf on both pages, one hanging half over to the right and the other half over to the left.

What version of Acrobat is needed to split pages of a PDF into separate documents? Standard or Pro?

Need to be able to split PDFs into separate files dependent of what page. Can standard do this? Or will i need Pro?

Hi asfkmg,
Both Acrobat Standard and Pro will allow you to split a PDF into separate documents. Here's a great video that shows you how: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-break-a-pdf-into-parts

Needed: Script for importing Photoshop layers, converting to shape layers

I've uncovered what seems to be a "bug" in After Effects CS5. When I import photoshop artwork in layers, and then try to apply effects to an individual layer, such as a color change, a drop shadow, or pretty much anything including puppets, when I later try to render the movie, it crashes.
My solution has been to laborously go through and convert any layer where I need to apply effects into an AE shape layer, copy the mask over, etc. Its not much fun, but it does solve the bug.
I know this could be done with a script, but I don't have the chops or the time to write it.
Has anybody else written such a script?
In essence, it needs to:
1. import a Photoshop file in layers.
2. select each layer in the file and
3. create an AE layer
4.copy the mask from the PS layer and
5. paste it onto the AE layer.
6. keeping the same registration and
7. keeping the color of the PS layer.
Easy, huh? For somebody who knows what they're doing, which doesn't include me.....
:<)McFrisco

Wouldn't it be just more efficient if you provided one of your crashing PSDs along with the AE project so we can check and verify? If you contact me off-forum I can assure you confidentiality and even provide you with an upload location. I even looked up your otehr threads, but I feel we never really reached a point where we could make out something definite, so rather than trying to fix things the hard way, it may make more sense to let someone take a look. This may be something trivial, after all and be perfectly fixable by doing something differently...

Need a script for archive/copy IMAP Emails older than 25 days to local mailbox

Hi there,
I am really troubling with archiving my IMAP mails. So far I was using standard rules, which have a major drawback - they only work on incoming mails. But I want to copy only mails to my local mailbox that are older than 25 days. The reason is that by copying all incoming mails, mail also copies all spam and unimportant mails into the local mailbox. However I only want to copy the mails that I was able to read and consider to be important, which I am able to do within a couple of days. However, I am not able to to that on a daily basis and that is why I chose the 25 days window, because my hoster deletes them automatically after 30 days. I read in a lot of forums that rules wont help, since they only work for incoming mails, therefore I am guessing that I would need a script because I want this to be automated and only applied to mails that passed the 25 day timeframe. Is the anybody that could help me out? Thank you so much in advance.

Hi adayzdone,
thanks for your reply but I am not a Gmail user, I am using Strato. Therefore the handy Google Scripts won't help.
I need a script in Apple, that only copies or moves the mail from my inbox to a local mailbox once they are past the 25 days line. Within those 25 day I have deleted all unnessecary mails, marks or higlighted the important once and know only the remaining once are worth keeping. But I still want them to be available in Mail and none of those archiving solutions that create pdfs or import them into their one database will help.

# This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize

# are discussed, and example settings given.
# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
# For parameters that require different values in different size
# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
# according to installation size.
# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
# three scenarious provided in this file:
# -------Installation/Database Size------
# SMALL MEDIUM LARGE
# Block 2K 4500K 6800K 17000K
# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
# This way, when you change a public
# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
