ID CS4: Can file import options be forced?

I have a scripted ID Cs4 app that I am using to construct books that are made from a library of PDF files. The library has files coming from various sources and as a result all PDFs are not created with a uniform definition of bounding box. I have found that if I import my files with the "cropbox" option enabled, all is well. However, I have also found that it's easy for ID to be "reset" to use "boundingbox" as the means of import and this wreaks havoc on my layouts. Is there any way that I can force ID to use the cropbox method of import when I invoke it?

you need to set PDFPlacePreference(s) before you place PDF page
Class PDFPlacePreference
Member of InDesign
PDF place preferences
and:
Property PDFCrop As idPDFCrop
Member of InDesign.PDFPlacePreference
Specifies how much of the PDF page to place
where:
Const idCropArt = 1131573313 (&H43727041)
Member of InDesign.idPDFCrop
Places only the area defined by the PDF author as placeable artwork
Const idCropBleed = 1131573314 (&H43727042)
Member of InDesign.idPDFCrop
Places only the area that represents where all page content should be clipped
Const idCropContent = 1131573315 (&H43727043)
Member of InDesign.idPDFCrop
places the page's bounding box
Const idCropMedia = 1131573325 (&H4372704D)
Member of InDesign.idPDFCrop
Places the area that represents the physical paper size of the original PDF document
Const idCropPDF = 1131573328 (&H43727050)
Member of InDesign.idPDFCrop
Places only the area that is displayed by Adobe Acrobat
Const idCropTrim = 1131573332 (&H43727054)

    I want to import bookmarks from Safari on the same Mac computer. Firefox
    Help says use Menu Bar/File/Import.

    How do I import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox?

    Import and Backup is the third (last) button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) that looks like a star.<br />
    Other platforms show the text label, but on Mac you only see toolbar icons.

  • FILE IMPORT OPTION NOT WORKING?

    Help!
    I have turned off the 'Copy Files To iPhoto Library When Adding To Library' option in the 'Advanced' menu .. yet I have noticed that it still seems to be importing actual files rather than just aliases.
    I'm running out of disk space!
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

    So, what you are saying is that I should properly import all of my photo library from the old folders on my external drive into the iPhoto library and then delete the originals?<<<</div>
    Yes. However, first reset that option appropriately just in case it decides to begin functioning as that would really screw you up. Also confirm that the import functioned properly before you delete the originals.
    By the way, are you aware that you can put the library anywhere that you wish? You might be better off moving it to the external drive. Use the finder to copy (drag) the library folder IN ITS ENTIRETY to the external drive. Do not open it up and play with the innards. Then, hold down the Option (Alt) key while opening iPhoto and direct it to the new location. AFTER confirming that all is OK, you can delete the library folder from the original location.
    You can then go further and break up the library into several libraries. The ONE thing that you can change with the finder is the name of the library and you'd need to do that so that you can choose which library you want to access. In any event, with several libraries, you would use the Option/Alt key whenever you want to access a different library from previous.

  • CS4: Can't import exported JPEG?

    I'm pretty sure I have myself asked for this before, but why can't a JPEG I exported from InDesign be imported back in InDesign? It shows grey in import dialog.
    I remember I have previously had this problem when trying to use InDesign exported jpegs in other programs, but it's InDesign itself also.
    Only Photoshop recognizes and if I open/save, it's ok.

    I can do this running CS4 on Win XP SP2. Not a problem.
    Anything special running in background like a screen grabber utility or something?

  • CS4 problem when importing older CS3 Project, mismatched edits

    I am trying to import a CS3 project into CS4 and for some reason some of the edits don't match up. It's only in some parts, most of it is fine. I really want to be able to use the new Media Encoder so I can make a DVD from the CS3 project (I was unable to do this in CS3 + older Media Encoder because it would always crash on my long length project).
    I also tried bypassing Premiere CS4 by using the Media Encoder CS4 standalone project import option and selected the CS3 project and then the sequences....I scrubbed through the player and the same edits are mismatched/incorrect.
    If I go back to the project in the older CS3, all edits are fine...but of course I can't export a MPEG for DVD because CS3's exports crash.
    What is the deal?
    If it matters, I am using 720p P2 footage.

    Well I'm interested in this thread because I'm having a similar problem importing CS2 projects - audio filters are screwy, especially EQ.
    I can't finish this project in CS2 for several reasons.
    I can't seem to convert every project CS2 project -- some work, some do not. Missing preview files, probably. I know that CS4 conversions hanging are a separate documented issue.
    So I'm trying to import projects instead. Everything looks all right but everything does not SOUND all right.

  • How can I import multiple iphoto libraries into Photos beta

    I have successfully imported a single iPhoto Library into the Photos Beta app.  However I have several other iPhoto libraries that I would like to import into the Photos library.  Think of is as merging everything into one now that there's iCloud backup.
    I started with iPhoto back in 2005 and have created a separate library every three years ever since.  Each one is quite large, ~40 gigs.
    What is the best means to import additional libraries into my new Photos library.  Unfortunately the File import option on Photos does not allow for a selection of iPhoto Library file type.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Merge all iPhoto Libraries into one before migrating them to the new Photos.app.
    You cannot add additional libraries to a Photos library, only additional photos.  Or have several Photos libraries, but only one of them can sync with iCloud.
    To merge your iPhoto Libraries into one, use either Aperture, if you have it  (see:  Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries), or the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager:  Download it here:  iPhoto Library Manager

  • IC reconciliation process with file import

    Hello gurus,
    I am using ERP 6.0 with new GL active.
    I want to implement the new IC reconciliation process and I don't have any problem with customizing (I have followed OSS note #863630 documentation...) except for the file import option (probably method RCOMP_UPLOAD ?).
    Have any of you already implemented this process with the file import option? If yes could you help me finding documentation, give me some clues about the customizing/developement logic of this option?
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Best regards,
    Pascal MORIZUR

    Hello Pascal,
    What would you like to know?
    Here is the minimum setup that is required in order to upload data for a company:
    1. In Companies to be Reconciled select Data Source File Upload.
    2. Specify DDIC Structure for Upload. You can use the delivered structure FBICRC_S_UPLOAD. For more information please refer to the F1 help for this field.
    3. Run Data Selection for that company. You will be able to select the file from your computer.
    Notes
    1. Make sure to apply the corrections according to note 1154899.
    2. If you would like to upload files without having to select them in a dialog, use the Logical File Name in activity Companies to be Reconciled. Check Upload from Presentation Server if applicable.
    3. Any lines with * as the first character will be skipped during upload. You can use this to set up a header line in the upload file.
    4. You should use the same Sequential Number (SEQNR) in Companies to be Reconciled for all companies with the same data source. That way you can run data selection for a specific data source.
    Some Advice Regarding Microsoft Excel
    If you want to use Microsoft Excel to edit or create the upload files you should keep the following hints in mind:
    1. The easiest way to deal with leading zeros is to set the cell format for the corresponding columns to Custom: Select the column, press Ctrl+1, choose Category Custom, type in n times zero depending on the length of the field (6 times for company and partner, 10 times for document number and accounts numbers). That way you do need to type in '000001.
    2. Make sure to save the file as text tab delimited. Tabs are the delimiters expected by the standard functionality.
    If the standard upload functionality should for some reason not cover your requirements you can check Select Data Using BADI and implement your own logic. The method which will be called up is IF_EX_FB_ICRC_nnn->SUPPLY_OTHER_DATA. You can use CL_IM_FB_ICRC_001->RCOMP_UPLOAD as a template for your own logic. Please note that the standard upload functionality was added later on. In most cases you will not need to implement the BADI method. The logic for the standard upload functionality is implemented in CL_FBICRC_SERVICES->UPLOAD_DATA.
    Hope this helps,
    Ralph

  • Can't import Final Cut XML file into Premiere Pro CS4 MAC

    Hello,  I'm traying to import FCP Studio 2 XML file into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4for the purpose of then color correcting the project in Adobe After Effects.
    I followed all the rules of exporting XML files from my Final Cut Studio 2 timeline, then closed FCP, opened Adobe Premiere CS4 and when I go to Import option XML file is greyed out.  I can't select the XML file...
    Could  someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Thank you so much

    I'll just say that the high end AE users list I frequent suggests that the more common workflow is to bring AE to FCP for color correction.  Isn't that one of FCP's strengths?
    Also, to the extent that you want to process an FCP project in AE, look for the best way to bring it directly, not through Premiere.  Ask in the AE forum what opinions people have.  Mac and PC types use AE, but my impression is that only a small proportion of those users use Premiere.

  • How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    How can I import a .swf file in Adobe Flash CS4?
    Thanks.

    you can use file/import but that would be a mistake.
    you should "load" your swf, not import it.
    if you want to load it and need help, are you using as2 or as3?

  • Can't Import AAC file into Premier CS4

    Hello!
    As the title says, I'm not able to import AAC files into my Premier Pro projects.  The funny thing is that these files were created in Premier Pro CS4, so what gives?  I took the audio out of a video and exported ONLY the audio in AAC format.  But when I want to import these files into a project, it gives me a file not supported message.  What am I doing wrong?

    It says the codec is installed, so it should work no?  I mean, like I said in the OP, I created these files in Premier Pro.  I find it odd that I can't import files I created in the same program I used to export them.
    I do agree that if you Export a file from a program, it should Import into that same program. That similar once did, but do not now, indicates that something has changed. Trying to find out what that is can be a bit time-consuming and can lead to dead ends.
    I would try the Export again, but use PCM/WAV, to make sure that that method, format will work.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • New user here.  Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File Import Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos

    New user here.  Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File>Import>Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos in place on the file system.  All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option.  What?

    All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option.
    That has been true for the previous Aperture versions. Now Aperture simply treats the original image files exactly as they are in the imported library. Referenced images will stay referenced, managed will be imported as managed. But you can always relocate the imported managed images afterwards by using "File > Relocate".

  • I can't find the import option under file, on Firefox 7. I'm trying to import bookmarks.

    I recently downloaded the newest version of Firefox 7 for Mac. I'm trying to import my bookmarks from Safari, and I don't see any option for importing in the file menu.

    You can find import now in the Library:

  • Can we mix mandatory and optional field entries for file import?

    Can we have devices with mandatory fields only and some other devices with mandatory and optional fields within the same CSV file used for file import?

    Hi Rita and Sandra,
    That is correct, you can mix mandatory and optional field entries for file import. However, if you don’t have OS type and version, the alerts matching would be impacted.
    Thanks,

  • Can't Import Mov file into Ppro CS4

    I have imported all sorts of mov files but one is from a SONY V1 and won't import. I get an error message saying there is a codec missing. In VLC player it takes along time to play and  it says the codec is MPEG-1/2 video (mpgv), 1440x1080, 29.97. In QT player the video is black but the audio is fine. How can I import this into Ppro?

    Do you have QT Player Pro (US$30 upgrade/unlock)? If so, load the file, and hit Ctrl+J for the properties panel. QT Player has a limited properties screen, but I do not recall the keystroke. Also, QT Player Pro, if it will play the file, can also Export to other formats/CODEC's, and I use it for that purpose often.
    Also, the free MediaInfo might do better, than G-Spot.
    Without knowing the exact CODEC, looking for it might prove difficult.
    Also, VLC comes with a bunch of internal players and CODEC's, so it can play stuff, that will not work in other apps., which require the installed CODEC's. There are several Apple-only CODEC's, that do not have any PC counterpart. In that case, you'd need to Open that file on a Mac, with the proper CODEC, and then Export (basically converting) it to another format/CODEC.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - here is an ARTICLE, that might offer a bit more background on CODEC's.
