InDesign CS3 VB Set Ink Alias

How would I set the ink alias (Output panel of the Print dialog box) for all non-process colors to Process Black using VB Script?
Thanks,
Archie

I found the solution:
Rem SET INKS TO BLACK FUNCTION
Rem --------------------------
Function mySetInks (myDocument)
myInkCount = myDocument.Inks.Count
For I = 1 to myInkCount
myInk = myDocument.Inks.Item(I)
If myDocument.Inks.Item(I).IsProcessInk <> True Then
myDocument.Inks.Item(I).AliasInkName = "Process Black"
End If
Next
End Function

  • InDesign CS3 basic setting question

    I just upgraded this weekend and cannot find the preference or setting that allows me to 'show all menu items' without having to click on them. Under every menu and sub-menu item there is an entry for 'show all menu items.' I'd like all the lists to be fully expanded if that is possible.
    Thanks in advance for pointing me in right direction on such a basic question.

  • Photoshop File with Layered Set to Multiply Not Honored in InDesign CS3

    I am placing a PSD file from Photoshop CS3, that has a reflection/shadow layer set to Multiply with an additional layer of the model set to Normal within Photoshop. When I place this PSD in InDesign CS3, the Multiply inside of the Photoshop file is not honored.
    Is this Normal Behavior?
    Thanks

    Hey all,
    I've encountered this same problem in CS3, and for the life of me, I thought I remember in CS2 that the layers were indeed honored--hence the advantage of using native PSD files in InDesign. This was so any effects (transparency or otherwise) would be carried over in the InDesign file, therefore removing the limitations of using legacy formats like TIFF or EPS, which did not allow this type of dynamic workflow.
    Give us your thoughts on this, as it has hindered a couple of jobs in CS3 which required the effects exactly as explained above by the OP.
    Thanks!

  • How to set unequal columns using master pages in InDesign CS3?

    How to set unequal columns using master pages in InDesign CS3?

    I don't have CS3 anymore but I don't think this has substantially changed in the last few versions of InDesign.
    Choose View > Grids & Guides > uncheck Lock Column Guides. Then drag the column guides to the position you want.

    You're asking for the name of the application, not the document -- you need<br />to do it after your "tell myDoc".<br /><br />You could also get the name from the alias you open, rather than the open<br />document, something like:<br /><br />repeat with thisFile in listFiles<br />set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters<br />set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}<br />set docName to text item -1 of (thisFile as Unicode text)<br />set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims<br /><br />You should also move your "set properties of view preferences" line to after<br />your "tell myDoc".<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <[email protected]>

  • Indesign CS3 Data Merge "Merge Records" Command. Help?

    I'm looking to automate the merging of a mountain of records. I have 587 tab-delimited text files with 40 records each. I want to process these via Data Merge using a single pre-designed template with built-in placeholders and variable data fields, including a variable barcode graphic. In the end, I want to create 704 multi-page, 6-up per page, indesign files with merged data, and 704 multi-page PDFs.
    Here's where I am at. Using a combination of AppleScript, TextWrangler and InDesign CS3, I am able to set up a loop where I can open the single template, save it to a new file with a new name, change its data source to the appropriate text file, and as a test, make a PDF of the template using the correct export preset. What I cannot seem to do is get the template to perform a "Create Merged Document...".
    In InDesign CS3's AppleScript dictionary there is a command called "Merge Records" under the Data Merge section. It appears to do exactly what I am after. But when I try to use it (and the good Lord knows I have tried numerous permutations), it only returns errors like "Adobe InDesign CS3 got an error: active document doesn't understand the merge records message."
    Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I have set up a separate AppleScript for testing purposes that opens up the template, saves it under a new name, and attempts a "merge records" command. Here it is. Maybe someone smart out there can tell me what I am doing wrong.
    set templatePath to "Welch_Jobs:0_JOBS:280019_Churchill:WPC FILES:Workup:280019_6up_master template.indt" as text -- the main template file that will be modified, saved with a new name, then merged with its data to create a new merge file
    set newTemppath to "Welch_Jobs:0_JOBS:280019_Churchill:WPC FILES:Workup:goody.indd" as text
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    open file templatePath
    tell active document
    save to newTemppath
    merge records
    end tell
    end tell
    I have this feeling that this is a command that is actually unsupported. Google searches have been fruitless except for one poor soul who can't get it to work either. I have, however, seen that a similar JavaScript command exists called "DataMerge.mergeRecords". If it is impossible to do this via AppleScript, is it possible to make a JavaScript that will do it, and access the JavaScript with a "do script" command in the main AppleScript? If so, how would I accomplish this? What whould the JavaScript look like, and where do i need to put it?
    I would greatly appreciate any help you, dear reader, can give me on this.

    Well, did you look at the dictionary?:
    merge recordsv : Merges records and produces an optional overset report.
      merge records
    data merge
        output overset report file alias or
    text] : The path to the file in which to store the overset report.
    Note also that it's part of the Preferences Suite, not the Datamerge suite. Do you see differently?
    Anyhow, you're clearly not calling it with a data merge parameter.
    I also have a suspicion that it needs to not be inside a "tell active document" but it probably doesn't matter.
    But my AppleScript is rusty.

  • Indesign CS3 - Changing file from all black to a pantone color

    Is there an easy way to change an all black file to a specific pantone color in Indesign CS3? I've ran into this plenty of times after setting up an all black job and then the customer decides they want to see on the laser printer what it would look like in a specific pantone color. I've always had to go into each photo and text block separately to do this.

    One way is to build jobs like this using a custom black ink defined as CMYK 0,0,0,100 and then all you should have to do for all elements created in IND is delete the black spot and substitute with your new spot.
    Check with your printer, but in general they'll almost certainly prefer a black file to a "spot" file. So if this is just one page you can always kick out a quick PDF, rasterize in PS and place into IND, painted as the new spot. I've never been burned with this workflow, but understand that the client signs off on a proof that is a couple steps away from the file that will go to press.
    I'm sure you can also export to PDF and use Acrobat's convert color utility to get what you want, but I wouldn't know how to go about it. [ed] And fiddled, and still couldn't figure it out.

  • Customised Flavor Drag and Drop in Indesign CS3

    Hello All,
    I'm implementing a to Drag & Drop from an external application (say windows Desktop) on to Indesign CS3 Document. I have implemented a Custom Flavor helper and a Data Exchange helper for my custom Flavor.
    I have registered my Custom Flavor in Constructor of My Custom Flavor
    RegisterExternalFlavor(TEXT("Portable Document Format"));
    In the Function CouldAcceptTypes, it is
    if (dataIter != nil)
    // Test for swatches in the drag
    DataExchangeResponse response;
    response = dataIter->FlavorExistsWithPriorityInAllObjects(kPDFExternalFlavor);
    bool16 valid = response.CanDo();
    if (valid)
    return DragDrop::TargetResponse(response, DragDrop::kDropWillCopy);
    return DragDrop::kWontAcceptTargetResponse;
    Now My Problem it is this variable "valid" is always False. So it is not going inside the loop. and hence I am not getting call in ProcessDragDropCommand. The Only calls which I am getting is in
    DataExchangeHandler::CreateScrapStorage() & DataExchangeHandler::GetFlavor()
    Note that I am dropping PDF only. I suppose the problem is in dropped Flavor only that it is not accepting.
    Kindly help.
    I am stuck at this point.
    ..Many Thanks

    From the Swing tutorial check out this section on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/dnd.html#customComp]Data Transfer With a Custom Component.
    The [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/example-1dot4/index.html#DragPictureDemo]Drag Picture Demo has the code I think you are looking for. Specifically the PictureTransferHandler.java class.
    a) In the createTransferable() method the source component is saved
    b) In the importData() method the source and target component are compared. When they are the same you exit immediately and set a "shouldRemove" boolean.
    c) In the exportDone() method your check the action and the shouldRemove boolean before doing anything.

  • Can't print more than one copy at a time in InDesign CS3

    No matter what quantity I set in InDesign CS3, it will only print one at a time. Doen't matter whether it's my HP 4250 LaserJet or a Xerox Phaser 8550. Also doesn't matter whether I set preferences with InDesign or the printer's preferences.

    Have you tried replacing your preferences?

  • Matching Raster and Vector RGB color in InDesign CS3.

    We print on a Durst Lambda RGB imaging device to photographic paper. All color management is done as an early bind (raster files are converted to the printer's color space and vector colors are chosen from a palette database). So basically the files must go through InDesign without any color change in raster or vector information. We have clients that require specific RGB builds for logo colors the are present in both their raster and vector files.
    Color Management is set to "North American General Purpose 2" with "RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles" selected.
    1) The file is exported as a PDF 1.4, High Quality, PDF/X_None.
    2) The PDF was ripped on a Cheetah RIP (Jaws level 3) with no color management on.
    3) Solid raster colors such as 0-255-0 will reproduce as 0-255-1.
    4) The color differences between the raster and vector are usually 1-4 points.
    5) The vector is consistent as was input in the programit's only the raster that changes. When you are trying to match raster and vectors logo colors it is a killer.
    However, I can go into the InDesign (or Illustrator) color settings and turn color management off (This is our current workflow). In doing this the RGB working space uses the monitor profile and "color management policies" are set to OFF. With these settings the RGB raster and vector match. The problem with this work flow is two fold:
    1) We have other devices than our RGB Durst Lambda that can use the InDesign color managementVutek flat bed 3200 and grand format 3360.
    2) We have had many occurrences where the custom "color management off" settings have reverted back to the default "North American General Purpose 2"without any intervention.
    I have tried this with different RIP's with the same results.
    Does anyone have an idea to create a simple PDF workflow and keep the color information consistent?
    Program: InDesign CS3 5.0.2
    Platform: Mac OS 10.5.2
    Computer: G5 tower with 4 gigs of RAM

    I believe that setting is an old Illustrator setting that has been saved to effectively turn the color management off. The monitor profile effects the image displayedit doesn't effect the color transform.
    Anyway, the color management I want to use is the "North American General Purpose 2".
    To reiterate:
    The procedure:
    1) The file is exported as a PDF 1.4, High Quality, PDF/X_None.
    2) The PDF was ripped on a Cheetah RIP (Jaws level 3) with no color management on.
    The Problem:
    3) Solid raster colors such as 0-255-0 will reproduce as 0-255-1It changes from the original raster color placed in InDesign.
    4) The color differences between the raster and vector are usually 1-4 points.
    5) The vector is consistent as was input in the programit's only the raster that changes. When you are trying to match raster and vectors logo colors it is a killer.
    To summarize, the color of the raster file will change from the original that was place into the documenteven though nothing was selected in InDesign that would change the color (i.e. profile conversion to an output profile or a transparency effect used). The change is slightbut there.

  • How can I restore proper PDF exports from InDesign CS3 or CS5 in Snow Leopard?

    I had no problems exporting PDFs from InDesign CS3 (on a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) until this past weekend, when all the fonts appeared bitmapped or thin and raggedy, and the images lost some color depth and contrast. When I copied the InDesign document to my MacBook Pro laptop, also running 10.6.4, the PDF emerged with its original quality. Calls to Adobe support referred me to documents concerning incompatibilities between InDesign and Snow Leopard. One of these documents was several pages long, but I could not print it from the Adobe website to my HP All-In-One Officejet, because one-third of the document was hidden under a white panel. This makes the document impractical for troubleshooting, because I don't have enough screen real estate (even on a 23-inch display) to keep the document open along with all the pages and dialogue boxes needed for reference. Back to phone and chat support, I was advised to upgrade my Creative Suite Premium CS3 to CS5 ($800!!!) and purchase the latest Acrobat Pro upgrade ($200), with no guarantee that this $1,000 cost would actually solve the problem. I did download the trial version of InDesign CS5, and it did NOT solve the problem. I'm also concerned that the problem did not exist until last weekend. Prior to that, my CS3 and Snow Leopard combination worked just fine. I then checked the forums and was dismayed at the variety of problems associated with PDF files, for which there seems to be no general fix. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of ads I'm supposed to be preparing and emailing as PDF proofs to businesses around the country. I have two books of 120 and 256 pages that need to be submitted to printers in PDF format with all kinds of fonts and image files belonging to my clients. The last time I submitted a book to a printer via email, the job went perfectly. This time, and next, it's obvious I won't be able to send PDFs at all! If that's the case, my 27-year-old directory business will be unable to absorb the expenses necessary to start all over with new computers and software, and I will be out of business. Period. So-- does anyone have a way to fix this? I would surely be grateful.
    David Henderson

    I'm on a local network, built on Apple's Airport Extreme. but I'm the only computer user on it. I use it for transferring files between the desktop computer (Apple Mac Pro) and laptop (Apple MacBook Pro) and, occasionally, to print from the laptop to a Xerox Phaser printer.
    About a year ago, I added an Apple Airport Express to the network, allowing me to play iTunes music from the laptop through a Panasonic BluRay player connected to a home theatre sound system. No problems of this nature appeared with that installation.
    About four months ago, we connected a DirecTV satellite receiver system to the D-Link router that carries wired network service from the desktop computer to the Xerox printer. The satellite TV system includes a series of modems that allows DVR recordings to be accessed and played from any of the TVs in the house. (As you would now perceive, I run my publishing business from my home). However, this set-up has been functioning for about four months, and I did not encounter the PDF problem until last weekend.
    Now -- about the fonts.
    Because of the many ads that I publish from various sponsors, it is possible that different versions of the same fonts have invaded my system. In the "missing font" alerts I get, InDesign frequently is seeking TT or T1 versions, which I replace with Adobe fonts when possible. Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium included a fairly large collection, which it keeps in one folder.  The Apple OS also includes a bunch in a separate font management folder; and there are carry-over fonts that came with the business when I acquired it 10 years ago. Some of those fonts may go back 25 years to the book's inception. However, in the past several years, I have generally rebuilt all the ads that appear in my publications, substituting newer versions of fonts. Hence, the preflight program has been able to locate and include all the necessary fonts in the packages that go to the printers.
    Once again, I have been able to export good PDF files for all the varieties of ads and books included in my system, until last weekend. One of the documents is built entirely with Helvetica Narrow, for which I have only one version.. Another document consists mainly of Times, and there are 3 or 4 versions of that font in the system; but the version contained in the document has not changed from when it exported properly.
    So... I guess the complexities involved in the network and/or fonts could be part of the problem, as you suggest, but golly -- I hope not. The last thing I want to do is disrupt and rebuild the network or font collections. The font situation especially would set back production for months if not years, because so many individual ads and off-site clients would be involved in the process.
    I'm sorry if I provided more details than you expected. I didn't mean to take so much of your time.
    Thank you.

  • InDesign CS3 crashes when I try to insert a new page

    I'm working on a document that is currently 70+ pages in InDesign CS3, and whenever I try to add a new page (regardless of where I try to add the new page at within the document), InDesign crashes. I haven't experienced this issue with any other documents. After not having worked on this document for several days, I was able to insert 2 new pages today before the issue started again. I've done several searches on the Adobe forums, and I haven't come across anyone who seems to experience this same problem. But if anyone has, or has a suggestion for me to try, I would really appreciate it, as this document needs to grow to 100 pages, meaning I really need the ability to insert pages!!
    Computer: Mac OS X, 10.5.8, Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5
    Software: InDesign CS3
    Error Message: InDesign has unexpectedly quit. A crash report has been generated....

    Thanks, Peter. The problem still persisted through a new indd file created from an exported inx file though. I was able to work around the issue by setting my document to 100 pages in Document Settings. That added enough extra pages at the end of the document which I can then move to other locations within the document.

  • InDesign CS3: Problem in creating assignment files through API.

    I had written some code for InDesign CS2 that allows user to
    create an empty Assignment file,export any selected pageitem and add to the Assignment,save the assignment.
    Now I have ported the same code for InDesign CS3 by following porting guidelines.
    I am facing an issue in saving the article. When any page item is exported and added to the assignment, the exported file name displayed under the newly created assignment in Assignments Palette of InDesign. But when i save the assignment the exported file is moved into UnAssigned InCopy Content in the palette.
    Also the final InCopy file doesnot contain link to exported page item file(.incx).
    I am using the following API in my code,
    void ExportStoryAndCreateLink(const UIDRef & story,const IDFile & file,
    const FileTypeInfoID & fileTypeID
    ) [virtual]
    Please post in this thread if any one has come across this issue.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi vivek,
    Have you tried adding the same document with the client ?
    OACT is the accounts table and this error message typically indicates that there is an account parameter missing somewhere in the system.
    Possible causes include:
    - you are using a tax group or warehouse which does not have all the required accounts set
    - There is a price rounding and the rounding price account has not been set in the account settings
    - etc.
    The first things I would check include the tax group settings and the G/L Account determination settings.

  • Converting from Pagemaker 7.0 to Indesign CS3

    Lots of questions here I'm afraid, but it would be a massive help if I could get this sorted, and I only have a week or two to do it.
    My colleague and I are writing an English language textbook, with separate teacher's guide and student's book. It is currently in Pagemaker but we have had a number of problems with it, including:
    1. Some pages will not PDF. Various error messages are given, none of which I understand.
    2. On the pages that will PDF, most of the Excel tables become black or grey boxes. They were inserted into the document via Edit>Insert Object but it does not seem possible to link them (doesn't accept OLEs or something). Nor can I Place them due to some unknown error.
    3. Some of the objects, esp those pasted in from Word, jump around when PDFfing.
    4. Some text and objects move when transferring between computers, messing up the formatting. This may be because my colleague and I have different printers installed, so we can't set it to the same one.
    Due to these and other problems, we're thinking of transferring the book to Indesign CS3. However, I have the following problems:
    1. When I try to open the Student's Book (SB), it tries to convert it to ID format, but before it opens the whole programme shuts down. There is no message or other indication of what the problem might be. It will open sections of the book when saved as different files, but not the whole thing at once. (The Teacher's Book [TB]) opens fine.)
    2. The Excel tables once again become black boxes, like when PDFfing from PM. I know I can redo them either by pasting in and creating table from text (which loses formatting), or by saving the files and Placing them (saves formatting but takes a while to save each file), but there are about 230 such tables and it would take forever.
    3. Other objects, such as speech bubbles pasted from Word, some Excel tables and some photos, become very low quality. They stay like this when pdffed.
    4. When I open sections of the SB, the text that was in other colours all changes to black. Eventually it will all be in black anyway, but I have highlighted some text in red and blue that I want to come back to later.
    In addition to solving those problems, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me:
    1. if it's possible to insert multiple pages of another ID file, so that separate documents become one, as in Acrobat. (This would allow my colleague and I to work on different sections of the book at the same time but still end up with one document.) The Place function creates one solid object (if that's the right word), with all separate objects merged, and is low quality like the images/tables mentioned earlier.
    2. if it's possible to save the formatting when pasting tables from Excel (and I mean pasting, not importing).
    3. if it's possible to create speech bubbles (callouts) in ID. I need loads of them. They don't seem to be in the Shapes section.
    4. if it creates problems if you paste stuff in without linking, e.g. speech bubbles and arrows from Word, images from PM, etc. I know it makes the file bigger, but apart from that? Someone said that may be behind the problems we had with PM.
    Thanks heaps for any help.

    #1. This is the hardest one.
    First, just because it shows in Pagemaker, doesn't mean it should show in Indesign. Pagemaker lists all kinds of crap, PPD fonts, system fonts.
    Courier (VGA res) is a screen font. ID won't (and shouldn't) list it and you shouldn't want to use it. Courier New is just about impossible to get rid of in Windows XP. You should substitute Courier New for Courier (VGA res).
    I can't help much with Lucida Handwriting and Tekton Pro, except to
    repeat my usual font advice:
    1) Make sure the font is actually installed. Make sure it shows in
    Control Panel > Fonts. If it's really there, delete it (make sure you
    have a copy of it somewhere other than Fonts), reboot, and reinstall it. Install fonts with File > Install new font. Don't just dump it in the Fonts folder.
    2) Make sure ID doesn't already list it. ID doesn't list all fonts
    strictly alphabetically. For instance, note that Adobe Caslon shows up in the C section, not the A section. And Lucida Grande shows up at the bottom of the list with the Hebrew fonts. You can have a situation where you have Courier loaded, it shows in ID's font list, but on opening, ID tells you Courier is missing. The lesson here: there's more than one Courier and ID is smart enough to know the difference.
    3) Search your hard drive(s) for adobefnt*.lst and delete all of the
    found files. Make sure you search hidden and system folders.
    4) Delete the stubborn font files and copy them from somewhere good (I think Lucida and Tekton come free with something Microsoft, probably Office). It's rare, but font files can be corrupted, and ID is more picky than most other apps.
    5) Check Type > Find Font to see where your missing fonts are used. If they don't show up there, they may be used in a style but the style is not used. Maybe you don't need them at all. Maybe you just have a space or a return formatted in the missing font.
