ID CS3: Bulk importing one image per page then creating a new page

Hello,
I have a project where I have 8.5x11 sized jpgs I would like to bulk import into indesign one per page, and have indesign create a new page for each image automatically. Is there some kind of simple import function that can do this? I have so far not found an easy way to do this.
Thank you.

Actually there is a script by Olav Kvern for doing exactly this that comes with IDCS3. It's called "image catalog.jsx". You can access it from your scripts pallet.
The documentation with it is nil. See my post complaining about it and the author's answer in the scripting forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6d931/2
It actually works quite well, after you learn to work with it's limitations

Can i import "all images" into iphoto to create a new library?

somehow about 4000 photos out of 10000 disappeared when I moved to the newest iphoto and attached my external hard drive with the old iphoto library to it and switched between libraries using alt to open it. i was unable to get iphoto to see the missing 4000 even though they were in all images.
i went to all images on the new mac and dragged it into iphoto and created a new library.
it seemed to work but then a few hours later when i looked at my photos they are all just faces!!!!!!!! and in all images the photos are all just faces too.
what on earth is this?

i am trying to understand why so many of my photos in the library seem to be just faces
Because you imported the face thumbnails into iPhoto as noted several times
As My first post explained
All images is just that - a list of all images on your computer - all photos (two or three versions of each in iPhoto), the faces thumbnails, and probably icons and other images that have nothing to do with iPhoto
No bug - simply user error
Yes you can create a new library from the photos in the masters folder
But first try to rebuild the database again - if that does not work this time download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use it's rebuild command and see how it does - that will create a totally new liberary leaving your existing one untouched so you can go back to it if needed

Is it possible to datamerge more than one image per page?

I am building a product catalogue using datamerge. Is it possible to data merge more than one image per page? (ie I have a logo, product image and dimensioned drawing to go with each product page)
What would the coding be for the Data Field Name?
Would it be
@Logo
@Product Image
@Dimension Drawing
Add image fields in the data source file
By adding image fields to the data source file, you can allow a different image to appear on each merged record. For example, when you merge documents that include information from various companies, you may want to include an image of each company’s logo as part of the merge.
Open the data source file.
At the beginning of the data field name, type an “at” symbol (@) to insert text or paths that refer to image files.The @ symbol is required only in the first line; subsequent lines should include the image paths. Paths, which are case-sensitive, must follow the naming conventions of the operating system in which they’re stored.
If you get an error message when you type the @ symbol at the beginning of the field, type an apostrophe (') before the @ symbol (such as '@Photos) to validate the function. Some applications, such as Microsoft Excel, reserve the @ symbol for functions.

You can use InDesign to view the path of an image on your operating system. Insert an image in an InDesign document, and then use the Links panel to view the image’s location. With the image selected, choose Copy Info > Copy Full Path from the Links panel menu. You may need to edit the path after you paste it in your data source. This technique is especially useful for images on a server.

Yes, pretty much exactly as you describe. You would then just add those fields to the boxes in your page. I tend to add an apostrophe before the @ symbol in Excel so it doesn't think it's a function - as per text you quoted above.

How can I create a one image per page caption sheet that includes the description in Bridge?

I am trying to find a way to create a one-image-per-page caption sheet for my workflow. I currently place each image into Word and copy the description onto the document, then repeat for each image. I am hoping that there is a way to automate this process using Bridge. I know that it can be done using Lightroom, however, that is not currently an option for me. Is this something that can be done or am I bound, like Sisyphus to Microsoft Word? I have a very limited grasp of scripting, but I feel like this is possible.
Thanks for any help.

To create a NetBoot image, you could just put the cluster node in target mode and attach it to your PowerBook. Then use SIU to create the NetBoot image.
If you're trying to create a backup image of the disk, use hdiutil, or put in in target mode and create the image with Disk Utility.

If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper; in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

Hi, I'd like to display a dynamic image from the web inside a JLabel or any other swing component it could work in. I've been looking on the Swing tutorials and others forums, all I can have is that a JLabel can load an Icon object, defined by an image URL, but can this URL be like "http://xxxxx/image.jpg" somehow or can it only be a local image URL?>
I do not know why you start talking about an image on the web then go on to show concerns about whether it will work for a 'local' URL.
But perhaps this answer will cover the possibilities.
So long as you can from an URL to the image, and the bytes are available for download (e.g. some web sites wrap a direct call to an image in HTML that embeds the image), the URL based icon constructors will successfully load it.
It does not matter if that URL points to
- a web site,
- a local server ('localhost'),
- an URL representation of a File on the local file system, or
- it is inside a Jar file that is on the application's run-time classpath.
How you go about forming a valid URL to a 'local resources' (or indeed what you regard as local resources) is another matter, depending on the form of the project, and how the resources are stored (see list above).
Probably the main reason that examples use images at a hard coded URL on the net is that it makes an 'image example' self contained. As soon as we compile and run it, we can see the result. I have posted a few examples like that on these forums.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version. Paragraphs seem to only be dealt with in styles, and the Formatting window for text doesn't seem to have the space after paragraph contrtol that the older Inspector had. What am I missing?

Sorry I did this without looking:
Side panel >Text > Style > Spacing > Turn the triangle > Before Paragraph/After Paragraph/

Invisibles are creating a new page when I try to move background image....

Hey Guys.
I am doing a resume for a friend of mine and its quite simple what Im trying to do;
-Background image
-Image
-Text
And I noticed when I try to put the background image to fit the background that it will create a new page... but I can't seem to find how to get around this problem... can anyone help?
Here's a screenshot: http://i46.tinypic.com/nf1t3r.png

Your image has word wrap on it that is squeezing out either text or a page break underneath.
The process and fix (turn off word wrap for the background image) were described here:

How to create a new page as a hyperlink to an external one?

I've been trying to solve this for like 2 hours and still haven't found the way!
When you create a new page in iWeb, it automatically adds its name into the navbar and creates a new page and folder with its content. Well, I want to create a new page that is a link to an outside webpage opening in a new tab. How do i do this? Editing the new page .html? I've tried that, but what should I write?
Anyway, hope somebody can give me a hand...
Thanx!

Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount 28

Post Author: tadj188#
CA Forum: Formula
Needed: Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount > 28
Background:
1) Report SQL is created with unions to have detail lines continue on a page, until it reaches page footer or report footer, rather than using subreports.    A subreport report is now essentially a group1a, group1b, etc. (containing column headers and other data within the the report    with their respective detail lines). I had multiple subreports and each subreport became one union.
Created and tested, already:
1) I have calculated @TotalLineForEachOfTheSameGroup, now I need to sum of the individual same group totals to get the total line count on a page.
Issue:
1) I need this to create break on a certain line before, it dribbles in to a pre-printed area.
Other Ideas Appreciated:
1) Groups/detail lines break inconveniently(dribble) into the pre-printed area, looking for alternatives for above situation.
Thank you.

Text flows create a delay when an overflow creates a new page, preventing you from reading the page number, giving error

Hi all!
I am creating a script to generate automatically a photo catalog; the idea is to prepare a master document with a text frame in the master spread with auto flowing, then insert images with their caption by the script, letting the system create automatically the subsequent pages when necessary by an unique flow of text.
My catalog is divided in sections, each represented by a different master spread; so I have to know in which page I am working when the script put there an image, just to link the current page to the proper master spread.
To simplify everything I have resumed the core of my script here, using text instead of images:
/* load a master document, only containing an empty text frame in the master spread, connected to the main text flow */
var doc = app.open(new File("~/Desktop/mySampleDoc.indd"));
/* I work on the story, thinking that whenever the textframe of the first page will be full, another text frame will be created in the next page (automatically created) */
var story = doc.pages[0].textFrames[0].parentStory;
/* now I put some lines of text into the story, expecting the creation of a new page when the first one will be full */
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
   /* this is next line: */
    story.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "this is line n. " + i + "\r";
    /* here I want to know on which page is the line just created (error is generated here just during the creation of the new page + text frame) */
    thisPage = story.insertionPoints[-1].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset;
   /* and now I print page number */
    story.insertionPoints.item(-1).contents = "current page: " + thisPage + "\r";
The big problem is: when the first text frame is full and an overflow is generated, a new page with a new text frame belonging to the main text flow (as the master spread wants) is generated; but it seems my script requests the page number before the new page with the new text frame is born, and an error is given.
It seems like the script goes too fast in respect to the creation of the new page.
If I delete the line thisPage = story.insertionPoints[-1].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset; everything is ok.
I tried to introduce a delay until 3 seconds without any effect.
I tried also to show or zoom the new page before the page number request, thinking to force the system to wait until page is really born, also without any effect (by the way, I was not able to show the page during the script's additions of text!).
Someone can help me?
Many thanks to everyone
Roberto

Many thanks: you are right!
Unfortunately, I am at the very beginning with ExtendScript, and there are so many things I don't know until now...
With recompose() everything works very well, and it give me a solution also for redrawing the page while the script is working...
Many thanks, again!

Move album from one library to another without creating a new project

I accidentally added photos to a new album in the wrong library. I want to move this album with masters and versions to the right library. I exported the album as a project. Then I import the project into the library where I want the album to appear. Importing using either merge or add creates a new project which contains the album. Is there a way to put the album into an already existing project without creating a new one? Using Aperture 3.1.1.

As Frank said, masters and versions all move together. They can't be separated because a version can't exist without a Master file. In fact, when working in RAW everything you see in Aperture is a version since RAW files need to be rendered for onscreen viewing. The masters are on your hard drive somewhere (managed or referenced) and what you see when you import a RAW file is simply an unedited version 1.
This is one of the most important concepts to grasp: you're never actually working with the masters. Aperture is just a big database pointing to files and applying instructions (adjustments) to those files in realtime on your screen.
Just remember that a picture and any of its versions can appear in many albums, in many different places. But as I said earlier, it can only appear in one project. Move a picture from a project and everything follows. Versions are just different renditions of the same master file.
Not sure I'm clear - hopefully I'm helping a bit!

When reading my book on iBooks, I encounter duplicate pages for many pages then it skips the pages that should be there so I am missing large parts to chapters, is this a "bug" in the book or app? How can this be fixed?

Does the same thing happen on any other books that you have in the app ? If not then it's probably just that one book, in which can you could try deleting the book and re-downloading it - if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' from your purchase history :http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

Extending a page to create a new region

Hello all,
We have a seeded page which has a region which contains advanced table. In the same page, i need to add one more region below it which inherits the same functionality,same view objects with some additional conditions.
How to start with it? Any detailed explanation is greatly appreciated. I created many new pages but coming to extensions, i haven't done any thing complex other than extending a Controller.
Thanks in advance
KK

KK,
Create the region using personalization with all the properties.
Now check whether u have be reused by binding the whereClause at runtime. If its already exists then extend the CO and execute the Query.
If not then createa new VO and attach it to the page.
Regards.
