InDesign document and metadata from Bridge

I was watching a Bridge videocast that (I thought) showed entering a headline or description of an image in Bridge and the headline/description showed up as a photo caption when the image was dragged into an InDesign document.  I've tried this several times with no success.  Can I really create a photo caption that travels with the image from Bridge metadata to my InDesign document?

Luck - I found this fairly quickly.  It was on adobe TV;  the video is by Rufus Deuchler and here's the link:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/csinsider-design/adobe-bridge-cs4-/
At about 4 minutes and 30 seconds, he talks about metadata and he says, by filling in headline or description, you can create a caption in InDesign.
It would be truly wonderful if anyone could tell how to do this.

  • Search results displays title from the document and not from its metadata

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with SharePoint 2010 Search results. While searching for any content in SharePoint, it displays the title value from the keyword in the document and not from the metedata.
    Scenario:- I have a document library and a document named "Bill Details C1234.doc" in it. The title for this item in document library is "Bill Details". However on searching with keyword "Bill" it displays the
    first word in the word document which is "I".It should display the title set in the document i.e. "Bill Details".
    Please suggest

    I think you're looking to do the reverse of this:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/c2ec4fc2-e04c-453c-8035-4f334f062d05/have-search-results-display-the-filename-of-a-word-doc-instead-of-the-title-metadata?forum=sharepointsearchlegacy
    check this out as well, again I think you want to reverse part of this where it references filename
    http://chris.gg/2011/06/display-filename-instead-of-document-title-in-sharepoint-search/
    So, where it references Filename, you would put title, but leave where it references title alone.  Or maybe I misunderstood and you are looking for exactly this, to make search display the filename and not the title, in which case I trust that you'll
    find this to be your answer.

  • Can a PDF of an Indesign doc be created from Bridge CS3

    Can a PDF of an Indesign doc be created from Bridge CS3 without opening the Indesign file; and retain version cue version info as you would "page information", using an "Adobe PDF Preset" ?

    Hi Willi:
    Thanks for your prompt response.  Do you know if there are any scripts that can do this or at least help automate some of this process?

  • Can't Drag and Drop from Bridge/Folders anymore. Trashing Preferences didn't work

    My Indesign CS4 is acting up.
    I can no longer drag and drop from Bridge into my layouts, nor does it work from my PC folders to the layout.
    I tried accessing the two  preferences folder on my Vista as suggested here: http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php
    That didn't work and I don't think the rebuilt worked because the files didn't recreate itself, I had to bring the copies back in.
    Any idea what's going on and what to do?
    Thanks!!!
    Amy

    There are actually two files in the ID prefs set that usually need to be removed together when things act up. See Replace Your Preferences

  • LR not getting labels and ratings from Bridge - SOMETIMES?

    I'm starting to feel a bit masochistic 'cause I just keep trying to use Lightroom... But, there are enough things that are so much easier to do in Bridge that I still use it for everything but Lightroom's Develop module...
    Anyhow, in Lightroom I loaded a directory of images (about 70). In Bridge I examined the same directory of images and rated some with 5 stars, and some of those with GREEN...
    Back to LR... None of the changes show up. Looked around LR for something that would tell it to update the images in its library. The only thing I could find was the metadata/XMP/Import XMP thing, and that didn't do anything (is there something else in there that I'm just missing?). Finally, I DELETED the whole directory, and imported the images again. STILL no labels or ratings. I even shut down LR and Bridge and restarted LR to see if that'd help... Then did the metadata/XMP/Import again. Still no change.
    Now I KNOW this has worked before, 'cause I've seen the images with the labels and ratings... Any ideas how come it refuses to work on these images?
    BTW: If I change a label or rating in LR it shows up immediately in Bridge.

    Tried that as part of the "how do I get metadata from Bridge into here" activity... On this set it still didn't bring in the changes... It may just be an aberation but its really bizarre to have different sets of images appear differently... But, since I just got killed by LR and its "Out of Memory" message I'm back to square one again anyhow.

    You need to set up the pages appropriately for the target device. For iPad that's 1024x768.

  • I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers

    I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers. We can still surf the web when it goes down.

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

  • HT4356 I can air print documents and email from my iPhone 5, but I cannot figure out how to print one of my Outlook Contacts. Any ideas?

    I can air print documents and email from my iphone 5, but cannot figure out to print a contact from Outlook from my iphone.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • Adding name of indesign document to metadata of all images used in document

    I have been asked to include the indesign file name in the metatag of each image used in every document i produce from here on.
    is there a way to write a script in indesign that will copy the document name then open every link (in bridge?) and append the document name to the metadata (i don't want to lose any existing tags) and then save?

    This should should give you a start. It'll add the active documents name to the field instructions of the img when executed. Tested once. No errorhandling.
    currDoc = app.activeDocument;

    docGraphics = currDoc.allGraphics;
    for(var g = 0; g < docGraphics.length; g++){
        currGraphic = docGraphics[g];

  • Structure inDesign document and export as XML for use in the web

    Hello everyone,
    I just recently started using inDesign and I am fascinated by its possibilities! I use it for a project where a finished inDesign layout that is used for a printed publication is now supposed to be transformed for implementing it on a web site. My job is to export the inDesign document as an XML file. After massive reading the last weeks I'm quite familiar with the structuring and tagging in inDesign. Though there's some issues I do not understand. Your precious advice would be of highest meaning to me
    The programmer who will later use my XML output for the web-transformation needs the document structured in different levels like "Root > Chapter > Subchapter > Text passage / table". I already structured the document with tags like title, text passage, table, infobox,... but the structure is just linear, putting one item following to another.
    How can I structure the document with reoccuring tags that enable me to identify the exact position of an item in the document's structure? So that I can say for example "text passage X" is located in chapter 4, subchapter 1. This has to be done because the document is supposed to be updated later on. So maybe a chapter gets modified and has to be replaced, but this replacement is supposed to be displayed.
    I hope my problem becomes clear! That's my biggest issue for now. So for any help I'd be very thankful!

    Our print publications are created in InDesign CS5 for Mac then the text is exported to RTF files then sent to an outside company to be converted to our XML specifications for use by our website developers.  I would like to create a workflow in which our XML tags are included in the InDesign layouts and then export the XML from the layouts.
    Some more detail about what kind of formatting is necessary might be helpful.
    I know that IDML files contain the entire layout in XML format.  Is it a good idea to extract what we need from IDML, using the already-assigned tags?
    Well, if you want to export the whole document, it's the only reasonable approach.
    We use a workflow system such that each story is a seperate InCopy document, stored in ICML format (Basically a subset of IDML). Our web automation uses XSLT to convert each story into HTML for use on our web site; it also matches it up with external metadata so it knows what is a headline and what is not, etc.. It is not exactly hassle free, and every once in a while someone uses a new InDesign feature that breaks things (e.g., our XSLT has no support for paragraph numbering, so numbered paragraphs show up without their numbers).
    You could do the same thing with with IDML, you'd just have to pick out each story, but that's small potatoes compared to all the XSL work you're going to have to do.
    On the other hand, there may be better approaches if you're not going to export the whole document. For instance,  you could use scripting to export each story as an RTF file, and then you could convert the RTF files into HTML using other tools.

  • How to transfer Collections and Favorites from Bridge CS5 to CS6

    Have the same problem every upgrade. Having to build up my Collections and Favorites from scratch.  (Keywords can be exported, so these are OK). Are there CS5 files i can copy into CS6? Gratefull for any advice. Tom

    Hello! It would be nice to have a migration script in Bridge too...
    In the past, there were folders you could copy, but given the database changes, I'm not sure, I need to check first with the team.
    On a Mac, it is in the collections folders in ~Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Bridge CS5/Collections/

  • Embedding SWF file into an Indesign document and later export as PDF

    Hi to everybody,
    I am searching now since 3 days for good solution of my problem. First I wanna tell you that the problem is not just to convert a swf-file into a pdf.  I did this many times with all animations, page flip and stuff.My situation is the following:
    I have varios catalogues with  more or less 12 pages each in an indesign format. Now I created an animated scroll down menu, which appears on an "index-page". On the menu I created buttons. One button for each catalogue. So the idea of the whole thing is to open a document and an index page appears where you have the animated menu and you choose the catalogue you wanna see. Until here it is quite easy. I created a swf file of each catalogue with my animations (as the special page turnover e.g.). So that I just need von Object in with I can load the different swf-files of these catalogues. I already did the process. I linked the buttons to the different swf files and so. So the problem is now when it comes to convert the whole thing into a PDF. Of course I convert it first to swf and then to PDF. After converting it to swf it works 100% fine, but in PDF not, suddenly the swf-files of the catalogues disappear.
    So the summary is, that I don't know how to embed swf files into an indesign document, creat buttons and interactions next to swf file, then save it to another swf, and then to a pdf without losing the first swf files within the pdf.
    Hope I made my self clear would be too nice if someone could help me or if someone may have a better idea of realizing the whole project.

    Jeffrey,
    Thank you for the answer. As you have written:
    I will also add that the ID's play mode contol [plays once] [repeat play] does not always control the file once in Acrobat.
    I presume you mean version of ID older than CS4 or version of Acrobat Reader older than 9.1
    It that is the case I will strongly recommend my visitors to upgrade to this version.
    I hope that would work.
    Thanks again.
