InDesign document setup dialog

Hi All,
In Indesign we have a document setup dialog ( you can found this under File > Document Setup )
In this dailog we have Ok/Cancel button and other fields.
Now I want to  know how I could get a call in my plugin when user click Ok button.
Should I need to implement a command interceptor to catch this action or there exist some other way to handle this.
Regards,
Alam

Hi All,
Does anybody have an idea/comments on my problem?
Regards,
Alam

  • InDesign crashing when changing Document Setup

    Hi
    I have an 75 page InDesign file with some text and placed files
    When I make any changes in the Document Setup dialog, (Pg Sz, Facing Pages etc) InDesign crashes with the following message:
    I exported to IDML, but that didn't help either
    Any suggestions?
    I'm running CS6 on Mac OSX Mountain Lion
    This only happens to this file - other files are ok
    Thanks
    David

    I think maybe the style itself is corrupt. The next thing I would try is creat a new file (blank) and in that file define a new style with the exact same name (case sensitive) and then import the style into the other file using Load All Text Styles from the paragraph styles panel menu.
    I'm not certain that's going to work though, so be prepared to export the text to InDesign Tagged Text, then make yet another new file. Recreate (or load from that other new file) any styles that are causing a problem, then place the tagged text. You can work from there in the new file, or you can go back to the original, delete the offending style (leaving the text without a style), then copy the newly placed text in the new file and paste it into the original to replace what's there and restore the style assignments. You might want to do all of that on a copy, by the way, just for safety.

  • What is a good ID5 Document Setup for an epub ebook for the iPhone?

    I'd welcome some help using ID5 to create an ebook that is optimized for displaying on the iPhone.
    In particular, I'm looking for appropriate dimensions of the base page, in pixels, to enter in the Document Setup dialog box.
    From what I've read, 320 x 480 pixels should work well for both the iPhone 4 as well as previous versions.
    Is that accurate?
    The Setup page also includes boxes for Bleed and Slug. Should any values be entered there, or should they remain zero?
    Thanks for the help.

    On InDesignSecrets David Blatner lays out the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly facts in Best Document Size for EPUB Export:
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    This is a great question because it seems like there should be… but the truth is that there isn’t. The reason there isn’t is important: You don’t lay out an EPUB “ebook.”
    Since you got off with a bad start, you might want to invest in your background material; either new book in New InDesign-to-eBook Resources should be good for starters.

  • Fix the Document Setup feature

    In previous versions of Illustrator and all the other CS programs, you go to"File>Document Setup" and you have a place where you can type in the page size you want. In Illustrator CS4 they eliminated this feature. You can click on a button called "edit artboards" and drag handles to resize the page, but if you want a specific size, it's best to type in the page dimensions, not drag handles like you were cropping a photo.
    Pleas bring back the ability to type in a page size in the Document Setup dialog box.

    The problem with that is that now that Illustrator supports multiple artboards (let's not call them “pages”), how should Illustrator interpret the values you enter? Change all artboards? The last edited artboard? The first artboard? Let Illustrator guess? That only makes sense if there is only one artboard or if all artboards are the same size. Even then, one might actually want to change only one artboard, not all of them.
    The interface for artboard size, much like the interface for bloody everything else in Illustrator, is awful. What’s needed is a Freehand-like Inspector panel where thumbnails of artboards can be resized and arranged without having to zoom way out, change tools, enter sizes in the Control panel, drag artboards around, wait for the art to redraw, do the hokey-pokey…

  • Indesign makes file bigger as a PDF even though set at a smaller size in Document Setup

    Hi there,
    When I export my file (which is set to 132mm x 198mm in Document Setup) to PDF, the PDF file is much bigger. In the information panel about the page in Indesign, it says the page is the size I specified it to be, but that the 'media' is 210 x 250 (or something like that). This is the size it comes out as as a PDF. I need the PDF to be 132 x 198 - how can I do this?
    Thanks,
    Lucy

    Did you use the Page tool to change the page dimensions?

  • Why am I having lines/borders appearing around my placed Illustrator images in my Indesign Document?

    After I save my InDesign Document and close it... When I open it back up again. There are borders around all of my Illustrator placed images.
    I can't seem to find out what is causing them or how to get rid of them.
    When I am working on the file with it open they are not there.. it's only after I save, close and reopen.
    What the heck????

    Thanks for asking Will....
    I've gotten so confused with back issues of the file....saved in InDesign CC that I just started over..
    Was simpler to do that than to try to fix the one I was working on.....
    But while I have you trying to help me..
    Could you tell me how to set the document setup for a new document in InDesign CC to inches?
    I tried going into the preferences.... it's not there.. Looked through all of the preferences.. still can't find it.
    The documents I'm working on are 47" x 28" or thereabouts and I am having to go back to InDesign 5.5
    create the document there then open it in InDesign CC to have it the right size.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Content of linked files in a inDesign-document refuses to update when edited.

    The problem:
    I have a question about linked files in an inDesign-document.
    We have a indesign-file (indd) wich contains text, linked map-illustrations and ads.
    One of the linked maps gets changed by an external map-producer via an VPN-tunnel. He works directly on one of the existing linked files (a map), and does not change the name or location of it after editing.
    After the change, we open the indd-file again, but no dialog-window appears telling us that a link needs to be updated. So we do it manually, but the changed content doesn't get updated in inDesign.
    If we target the linked file and choose to open it in illustrator for editing, all of the changes that was ment to be there, still is. It just doesn't show up in indesign. This also shows that the linking isn't the problem.
    The file is only placed at one spot in the document.
    Workaround:
    1. If WE (not the external map-producer) open the linked file and save it again (same name, same location), inDesign instantly promts us to update the link and the graphics updates without problem.
    2. If we place the file in a another location of the same inDesign-file, the correct content shows. (But still, the existing one does not update.)
    Question:
    Is there any way you can think of that could make this happen?
    If so, How can we solve it without having to use the workarounds?

    This will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
    Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files.

  • Ps CS5 "Print Page Setup" dialog will not open

    Hello: I was printing via my Photoshop CS5.
    I accidentally created a paper size of 0cm x 0cm and attempted to print (up to this point Photoshop and Print worked).
    I now (permanently) get an error message: "There was an error opening your printer. . . "
    Photoshop >File >Print. . . will not open the Print Page Setup.
    Photoshop >File >Print one copy (works, but still tries to print 0cm x 0cm, the printer spits out a blank page).
    Using the (Mac/Apple) app 'Preview' I deleted the paper size preset '0cm x 0cm'.
    apps; Preview, Text Edit, Mail, Word, . . . all print properly (they can open the 'Print Page Setup' dialog).
    I set up two other printers (now three in total) and they work with all applications (except Photoshop).
    I uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop and my printers, including all their preference files.
    Also, I again deleted Photoshop preference files by opening Photoshop while pressing 'Shft-Opt-Cmd'.
    In 'System Preferences' >Print & Fax >Printers; I reset my computer's "Printing System".
    I repaired 'Disk Permissions', Safe Boot and have also done multiple restarts.
    Since only Photoshop has a problem, I believe Photoshop has (somewhere) set a preference thinking it's default paper size is 0cm x 0cm which is throwing an error and preventing the 'Print Page Setup' from opening.
    I updated Photoshop Adobe Air, Printers, . . . after re-installing.
    I ran an app that clears my computer's caches.
    I reinstalled (and updated) my computer's operating system (OS only, not my account and data).
    I would appreciate your help. Thank-you, M_L_R

  • Automatic Hyperlinking of a 30,000 page InDesign Document

    Hello,
    I am trying to figure out how to best develop a system of automatic hyperlinking in an InDesign document (I know this is usually done small-scale and manually). This document will eventually be exported as an e-book or interactive PDF. Ideally, users would be able to click a link within the document and it would lead them to another link internally, further down in the document. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to best incorporate a more technical program into InDesign, or how to go about this? Any help would be much appreciated. Also, is anyone aware of how to create this document so that updates that are added to the 30,000 pages can be automatically 'pushed' to the subscribers or readers Desktop?
    Thank you very much,
    Ali

    You have facing pages, so you should set up your document as document with facing pages.
    You should have done it with New document but you can change it with File > Document Setup.
    You will have to change your master to 2 pages and to allow to shuffle the pages.
    Shifting pages are shifted when you use the page tool. It can happen more easily with non facing pages.
    Was there a specific reason, why you choose not to use facing pages at the first place?
    With the page tool you can shift pages.

  • Stuck parsing an InDesign document, extracting data to an XML file

    Hi,
    I have an indesign document of a newspaper page (1 spread + 1 page) with some articles (title, body, img, img caption) and ads (img). I need to parse this and create an XML file from which data can be stored into a mysql db. The db handling is already programmed.
    The xml file will have this structure (page = root):
    <page>
         <article>
              <title>Title</title>
              <content>Lorem ipsum</content>
              <img title=""></img>
         </article>
         <ad>
              <img title=""></img>
         </ad>
    </page>
    The .indd file is created using the Smart Layout plugin from WoodWing software. When trying to print the "TextFrames>Texts>contents" the textframes that use the smart layout plugin do not show, they seem to be not included in the data model of the app. That's why I went another route, and parsed "Stories>Texts>contents". I can get all the text objects of the page, including the articles that are created using the smart layout plugin. Among these objects are article title's and article bodies. The problem is I don't know which title belongs to which body, so I can't create a new article node in the XML. I have exported the orignal file as IDML and browsed the spread and the stories, but I see no way to link article titles (textframe), article bodies (textframe) and images (contained by rectangles) together.
    Is there a way to solve this?
    Setup:
    InDesign CS4 .indd documents
    Win2k8 server
    JavaScript (via ExtendScript toolkit)
    InDesignServer CS5.5 (64bit) (want to use this)
    SmartLayout plugin (installs @ InDesignServer CS5.5 32bit. This 32bit InDServer does not start, it has missing dll's).

    I am building something similar, and I have much of it working. Respond here if you're still interested, and hopefully I'll see it!

  • Tick Marks in Corner of Indesign Document

    Hi,
    I am making updates to an indesign document someone else created. There are two small tick marks in all 4 corners of the page (one vertical and one horizontal). The creater advised they were bleed marks. However, I looked in the Document Setup and found that the bleed/slug are both set at 0pt. I have done a lot of research and digging online without success. I also tried to look at the margins/guides, etc and did have much luck. Do you know what could be causing this? I would really like to remove them.
    Thank you!

    Please see the screenshot. The lines are in all 4 corners.  Thanks!

  • Uploading an InDesign Document to "Issuu Online"

    I work for a small newspaper that produces a monthly catalog of homes for sale in my area. Beyond printing this free publication on a press we also upload it to the Issuu Online website so readers will have access to the homes online as well.
    I took over this project for a designer that just "up and left" without leaving any explanation on how to do this correctly. The problem that Issuu Online has appears to be caused by their limitations to how large of a document can be uploaded. I am hoping that I can get my publication online by postscripting the document, but am unsure as to what the optimal presets should be. Any help in this area would be great.

    At the paper we "print" to file/PostScript to cover all of our bases when creating an ad. We have set up several options to do several different things like convert an full color ad to black and white, or ensure that an ad is completely CMYK even though some images built into the ad are RGB. Once we have created the PostScript, we distill in Adobe Distiller using similar setting that further refine the file, like adjusting a black and white ad to 200dpi instead of 300dpi to ensure that the black won't bleed too much on the newsprint and create a "muddy" image.
    I was hoping to setup a preset from scratch so that I knew how to fix it instead of just scratching my head wondering what went wrong after an hour of PDF-ing and uploading to the Issuu site.
    I hadn't tried the smallest file size preset yet. I guess it just seemed to easy to be the fix. I tried to upload the file again today and had "heard" that one problem might be found in how the document as a whole was set up. The magazine is built in separate sections in InDesign, then PDF-ed and then placed into a new InDesign document that is the whole book. I had "heard" that there may be an issue in the way the sections are created, some of which were built by non-designers (people that think they know how to design using MS Publisher or whatever).
    Still trying ideas and looking for solutions, but will get back when I can. Thanks!

  • My InDesign document has two page 1s and I can't get the page numbers to work.  Help!

    My InDesign document has two page 1s and I can't get the page numbers to work.  Help!  How do I fix this?

    Do you mean the first section is starting at page one?
    And the second one now is starting at page two?
    So I would ask why you would need sections at all?
    Did you set the controls for Automatic Page Numbering?
    If you select the particular page where section two is starting in the Pages Panel, you could untick the Start Section option in the numbering and section dialog. That would remove the section. You cannot do that with the very first section, but you should set the first section to Automatic Page Numbering if you ever want to use your document with an inDesign book file.

  • Document Setup question

    How do I get the content on a page to fall to the center when I enlarge the page in the Document Setup? In Indesign 5.5 it would center but in CC it falls to the top left corner.  I realize I could use and Alternate Layout or the Page Tool but then the Document Setup does not change.

    Try to use Page Tool (Re-center) on Master page

  • When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    When I export an indesign document the graphics are missing from the eps file.

    The why it isn't working can be a number of reasons. While I never have exported an EPS out of ID before, I just tried it and it worked fine.
    What "graphics" are missing? I used bitmaps, native drawn ID vector, lines and a placed EPS file. Came into AI as an opened EPS fine.
    Links up to date? For items not hitting the EPS, are they on a layer set to non-printing?
    In the export dialog,General tab, PostScript Level 3? Data format set to ASCII? On the Advanced tab, Send Data set to All? OPI off?
