Import TLF markup into InDesgin CS5 or CS5 Server

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to import the TLF markup into InDesign?  Is it possbile to translate the TLF markup into an IDML format?  I need to push text from a Flex app into InDesign while preserving all formatting.  Would it be better to use the TLF markup or the TLF html export option?  Any direction you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

It is possible to translate TLF markup into IDML, but I think you'd have to write it yourself. I haven't done it, but I would think you could write an XSLT script for the conversion. If you take this path, and you're feeling generous, you could post the resulting XSLT back here and earn gratitude from other folks with the same problem.
Using HTML as the mechanism is problematic, but worth considering. First issue is that TLF doesn't export regular HTML, it exports a special TextField-style HTML, and much of the formatting (not all) is stripped out, although things that TextField could do are represented. Also, InDesign doesn't import HTML (I don't think it does) although you may find a plug-in that can. If I were to use HTML, I would expect that getting it from TLF to some other text based tool like Microsoft Word that understands HTML, and then copy it out of Word and paste it into InDesign might work. I wouldn't expect all the formatting to come through though.
Hope this helps,

  • [CS5.5] How to import a snippet into the current page

    Hi All,
    I got the IDOMElement from the document UIDRef and imported the snippet into it. Here's the code-
    InterfacePtr<IDOMElement> documentElement(docRef, UseDefaultIID());
    if (documentElement == NULL)
        break;
    if ((status = Utils<ISnippetImport>()->ImportFromStream(tStream, documentElement)) == kSuccess)
        //success
    ( tStream is the IPMStream of the snippet I'm importing)
    This code above is able to import the snippet successfully to the first page of the active document, but I want it to be imported in the current active page instead. So for this, I tried getting the IDOMElement from the current page's UIDRef instead (logically I thought that this will import the snippet to the current page)-
    InterfacePtr<IDOMElement> documentElement(currentPageUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
    But the result is just the same— the documentElement is not null, but the snippet is imported to the first page only.
    May be that the concept of IDOMElement is not clear to me, but I cant find any documentation of it in the SDK guides too. Can anyone explain to me what's an IDOMElement and how can I import a snippet to the current page?
    Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

    @mfreitag, thanks a lot for your reply.
    I havent tried it yet, will let you know after I try it- but I want to ask that how will that help me placing elements to the page?   Can you please elaborate a bit.
    Actually in CS3, I used to follow this implementation to place the snippet into the current page-
    1. Create a dummy textframe in the current page (needed just to create a group).
    2. Create a Group using that dummy frame.
    3. Get the IDOMElement of the UIDRef of that group-
       InterfacePtr<IDOMElement> documentElement(groupUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
    4. Import snippet to this DOM Element
    5. Delete the dummy frame
    The snippet items were added into the group beautifully in the active page. But when I was porting the plugin to CS5.5, steps after step-3 failed, and the snippet is imported to the 1st page/spread of the document.
    I'm not sure, but seems that things related to IDomElement are changed for CS3+. May be you have an idea whether I could use the similar implementation to get this thing work?

  • How do I import Captivate 4 into Flash CS5?

    I am not a Flash expert obviously. I am trying to import my captivates into Flash and get an error message that the file was not imported because it could not be read. Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    Normally you can export the Captivate file to Flash from the File menu, but I'm not sure it will work between 2 different versions: 4 for Captivate and CS5 for Flash?

  • Trouble getting audio files when importing R3D files into CS5.5 Prem Pro

    Importing R3D files into Premiere Pro CS5.5 works for Video but the audio doesn't convert properly.   There is an audio file included in the R3D file that PP can see but it just has a few spikes.
    This same file played in REDcine-X plays the video/audio just fine.   Is there some audio setting in Premiere Pro that I should be setting?
    Oddly enough if I use REDcine-X to output a RED Trim file and then import it into PP, the audio file is shown separately and is imported correctly.   This of course involves a file conversion step in the workflow and a step that we are hoping to avoid.

    In order to import all kinds of  r3d, we had better convert it to adobe more compaitble video format like dv, mpeg, avi
    You may refer to the following step by step guide on how to convert .r3d movies at Convert R3D to ProRes, MOV, AVI, MP4, WMV, 3GP, MKV
    The guide applies to:
    Convert R3D to ProRes 4444, 422, 422 (HQ), 422 (LT), and 422 (Proxy) to fast import any version of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Pro X.
    Convert R3D to MOV, MP4 to import R3D to iMovie for easy editing or to play R3D in QuickTime, iTunes, iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV.
    Convert R3D to AVI, WMV, MPG to edit R3D in Avid, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Windows Movie Maker or play R3D in Windows Media player, Xbox 360, Microsoft Surface.
    Convert R3D to FLV, WebM, H.264, MP4 for upload R3D video files to YouTube
    Convert R3D to DV, VOB, ASF, SWF, RM, 3GP, OGV, FLAC, OGG, MP3, WAV, WMA, AC3, AIFF, WMA and etc.

  • Importing audio into Adobe Flash Pro CS5.5

    Every time I try to import any audio into Flash an error appears, I've tried any kind of file, mp3, WAV, M4A, nothing happens. I've seen some of the same questions here and everyone says I just have to put it through Audacity, but I made the files in Audacity and I've tried putting other files in Audacity but nothing helps.If you have any answer I would very much appreciate it.

    that's usually a bitrate problem.  change the bitrate to 44.1

    While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get to the chat. Please advise!!!!

    MoeGhazal I reviewed your account and it looks like you have have upgraded from a CS4 volume license for Design Premium to a retail upgrade of Design Premium 5.5.
    I also show that you made two purchases of CS5.5 Design Premium but the second purchase was canceled.  Please make sure you are utilizing the serial number which ends in 7886.
    If you are using the correct serial number then it is likely the installer will not recognize your volume license CS4 serial number as being valid for an upgrade.  If you can contact our support team then you can be walked through an unlocking procedure to allow you to proceed with the installation.  You can contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.  You may want to try installing a web browser you have not previously utilized.  It is likely a toolbar or some other software application is affecting your ability to access chat support successfully.
    If you are still unable to reach our support team then please verify the information under your account is accurate.  If you can please then update this discussion after confirming this then I can request a member of our support team contact you directly.

    Good day!
    What is your OS?
    Can you open the images?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

    Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

    Versions of Photoshop have different installation trees and user preferences.  You do not merge Photoshop versions. Each version is independent.  When you install newer versions of Photoshop the are options to migrate your presets and Preferences. You can start and use any version installed on your machine.  For the most part newer version of Photoshop are backwards compatible with older versions of Photoshop. However some changes  Adobe make to Photoshop change user interfaces and and the way Photoshop performs some functions these changes break some user actions, scripts and user work-flows.  In fact all the version you listed CS4, CS5 and CS6 have comparability issues.  In that respect Photoshop CC is not any better it has compatibility issues.  
    Newer versions of Photoshop have new functions and updated old function.  Older versions can not handle everything save by newer versions of Photoshop. If you save PSD and PSB files with the maximum compatibility option checked. Older version should be able to open you layer document with layers that look like what was saved though some layer may be altered and may even be a different layer kind then was saved. If you need to support older versions of Photoshop always use the maximum compatibility option.

  • Adobe Media Encoder and Encore CS5 Vs. CS5.5

    Hii,
    I have a Tennis project that has both DSLR 720P (60) footage and HDV footage 1080 (60i) footage. I have tried  making a Bluy-ray disc in Encore 5.0 and it looks good. I tried encoding Blu-ray H.264 footage from PP CS5 and Importing this footage into Encore CS5 in a Blu-ray project. Then Transcoding to DVD format. The resulting Jaggies/Saw Tooth lines of the Tennis court are terrible looking. Looks good in Blu-ray format. I have made DVDs from straight HDV footage and those come out looking great. It is something to do with the combining the different footages.
    My questiuon is did Adobe redesign the Media encoder or Encore in version 5.5. If so I would upgrade just to fix this problem. If not is there any good external Transcoding program that I can try? I have tried just about every known setting/Encode type in Media Encoder but non do a good job.
    Thanks,
    John Gerard

    I think part of the problem is mixing 720p60 with 1080i60 for DVD production. Different steps have to be taken to change HD to SD when encoding to DVD. See: http://www.bellunevideo.com/tutdetail.php?tutid=10

  • Indesign CS5 and CS5.5 missed INX

    If cant able to delete the colors from swatchs that time export to inx and open it in text editor and find the color value and just delete it in Indesign CS3.,
    But we missed inx in CS5 and CS5.5, Hope everybudy know that .INX is replaced by IDML,
    If in case we face the above issue how can we solve it,

    If this is just to delete colour swatches that you can't get rid of any other way there's a faster way that might work.
    Make an object that uses the swatch.
    Cut that object to a new InDesign document.
    Save and close that new document.
    Place that new document into the original document.
    Delete it.
    You should be able to now delete the swatch.
    It's taken me longer to type this than it would have to do it!

  • Installed CS5 after CS5.5. How do I fix associations?

    I installed CS5.5 Master which includes PRemiere and After Effects onto a brand new PC I built. I though I knew that I'd never need my copy of CS5 MC again so I didn't even load it. Then I realized I have several plug-ins that will not install in CS5.5. So I went ahead and installed CS5 MAster but only selected After Effects and Premiere since these are the only ones I need the plugins for. Well...it worked, but going forward "all" plugins are pointing to CS5 now instead. I modified the registry key HKLM\software\adobe\premiere pro\current version\plug-insDir to point back to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS5.5\MediaCore.
    I thought this should fix it but is does not. Additionally all my projects are opening with CS5 instead of CS5.5. Is there some way to fix this? Can I reinstall CS5.5 overtop of itself, even if I've done all the updates and installed a dozen+ plugins? Any help would be great!
    Thanks.

    These are older versions of a few plugins that work in CS5.5 but will not properly install since the installation package is looking for CS5. I have them installed and working now, but I am wondering how I can get CS5.5 to be the main version of CS on my system again? I tried to go into Programs and Features and see if I could simply do a repair of the installation but Adobe only offers uninstall options. I'll keep looking. I realize now that I should have installed CS5 then CS5.5 but I have a streamlined clean build that I spent 3-4 days on and don't want to start from scratch.
    Thanks.

  • Upgrade from CS5 to CS5 extended pricing?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded from CS4 to PS CS5 and now want extended.
    The upgrade price for this is the same as upgrading from any of the previous versions PS CS4, etc. $350
    Originally the upgrade to CS5 from CS4 was $200 and to upgarde from CS4 to CS5 extended was $350.
    So it seems to me I should pay about $150 to upgraded from CS5 to CS5 extended.
    Am I missing something here?
    Could this be right?
    Thanks,

    Log into your Adobe account and under orders, you should see the order.
    There is a button for returns.
    I'd get that going since it can take a few days for them to get working on it.
    In my experience, they will open a case and you'll need to attach a screenshot of your online credit card statement to prove you were actually charged before they'll credit you back.

  • Flash CS5 and CS5.5 Crash when compiling

    Hey,
    We're running into an issue where CS5 and CS5.5 are crashing when compiling an FLA. Our class structure is rather large, and it seems flash is running out of memory. We narrowed it down to commenting/uncommenting any line of code will let it compile or crash. I can literally open any as file from our project, comment out 1 line of code and it will compile, comment it back in and flash crashes. Has anyone run into something like this before, and have any advice on fixing it?

    Hi Morf,
    I can't reproduce your crash. Can you please send me the file up to the point where you saved? Please zip the file, change .zip extension to .zzz, email the attachment to my attention at [email protected]
