InDesign DPS and the example of Pinepoint

HI there, hopefully a simple question here...
Given the recent advances with InDesign and the new DPS single edition, can a site such as this:http://pinepoint.nfb.ca/
be created in InDesign for iPad/web distribution? If so, would there be any limitations or unique abilities that are not present on Pinepoint?
Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Thanks Bob! Your answer was very helpful. I've been researching this a lot over the last few days an it seems there is no easy way for someone like myself (a designer, not a coder) to create an experience similar to the Pinepoint one except on the iPad. DPS doesn't give me the ability to fade in/out music and video as would be possible with Flash and a timeline and user interaction. I want to take advantage of swiping across the screen of a tablet to move to the next scene of the interactive documentary. If you can think of any other solution that would accomplish this, I'd gladly purchase whatever it is and pull up the class on it in Lynda.com. Otherwise, I think I'll just stick to the limitations in InDesign and DPS.
Thanks again.

InDesign DPS and iTunes Connect: In-App Purchase won't appear

Greetings Adobeans,
first of all: I'm not a native speaker, so please forgive me my maybe erronenous english.
To my question / problem: The company I'm employed publishes a multi-folio-tourguide-app. It is produced with InDesign DPS and the App Builder, published via Folio Producer and should now be sold at iTunes to the Apple iPad, so the publishing process leads inevitable to iTunes Connect. We already launched the multi-folio-app itself along with a free folio as a free, non-consumable in-app purchase. The app is now online, downloadable and our first folio works fine - even it stays "Waiting for Upload" ... I think, the multi-folio-app tells iTunes Connect to get the data out of the Folio Producer, but I don't know the exact details of how this works.
The next step was to publish a second, priced in-app purchase.
Our steps were (they might be useful for a solution, I guess):
- publishing the folio in the Folio Producer (Status: Public - Trade),
- creating a non-consumable in-app purchase at iTunes Connect, using the same Product-ID as the folio in the Folio Producer,
- and uploading a update for the entire app, because Apple and Adobe say so.
But the folio never appeared in the app. It the iTunes Connect-menu it just stays "Waiting for Upload", like our first, but it won't appear at all.
My wisdom as a graphic designer has come to it's end a long time ago, Apple told us, that they don't look at these in-app purchases at all and we should ask Adobe for help ... and well, Adobe Help Services sent me to here.
So, I would be deeply grateful for any help or enlightement.
Greetings from Germany,
Der Bäcker Scholz

If your non-consumable in-app purchase in iTunes Connect is still "Waiting for Upload," it means it's not approved yet. You need to provide the screenshot and complete the in-app purchase submission to Apple. They should approved rather quickly. After a while (sometimes as long as 24 hours), your published folio will appear in your app.
In the future, submit your in-app purchases to Apple well in advance of publishing the folio. That way, you can publish the folio as Public and Retail, and it will appear in your app right away.

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.
In particular, I am analyzing the example "Even Angle Reference Signal Processing (Digital Tacho, DAQmx).vi", whose documentation I am reproducing in the following:
DESCRIPTIONS:
This VI demonstrates how to extract even angle reference signals and remove the slow-roll errors. It uses DAQmx VIs to acquire sound or vibration signals and a digital tachometer signal. This VI includes a two-step process: acquire data at low rotational speed to extract even angle reference; use the even angle reference to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Run the VI.
2. On the DAQ Configurations tab, specify the sample rate, samples per channel, device and channel configurations, and tachometer channel information.
NOTE: You need to use DSA PXI-447x/PXI-446x and PXI TIO device in a PXI chassis to run this example. The DSA device must be in slot 2 of the PXI chassis.
3. Switch to Extract Even Angle Reference tab. Specify the number of samples to acquire and the # of revs in reference which determines the number of samples in even angle reference. Click Start to take a one-shot data acquisition of the vibration and tachometer signals. After the acquisition, you can see the extracted even angle references in Even Angle Reference.
4. Switch to the Remove Slow-roll Errors tab. Click Start to acquire data continuously and view the compensate results. Click Stop in this tab to stop the acquisition.
ORDER ANALYSIS VIs USED IN THIS EXAMPLE:
1. SVL Scale Voltage to EU.vi
2. OAT Digital Tacho Process.vi
3. OAT Get Even Angle Reference.vi
4. OAT Convert to Even Angle Signal.vi
5. OAT Compensate Even Angle Signal.vi
My question is: How is the synchronization produced at the time of the compensation ? How is it possible to eliminate the errors in a synchronized fashion with respect to the surface of the shaft bearing in mind that I am acquired data at a low rotation speed in order to get the "even angle reference" and then I use it to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation. In this application both operations are made in different acquisitions, therefore the reference of the correction signal is lost. Is it simply compensated without synchronizing ?
Our application is based on FPGA and we need to clarity those aspects before implementing the procedure.
Solved!

How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

Hi Rave,
InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type. I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document. The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document. That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago. I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??

DPS and the content viewer

So I am new to the DPS world and I would like to know if when sharing the Folio that I made, the person that I shared it with can view it. Can they view it without the content viewer on the ipad, and can they view it without Indesign, and the DPS tools?

They will need to use the Adobe Content Viewer on their iPad.
The DPS help system has answers to many beginner and advanced questions.

Problem with InDesign, Photoshop and the clipboard...

Dear community,
this is my first posting within the adobe forums, please be gentle
So, first things first. We recently switched from PowerPC PowerMac infrastructure to much more powerful Windows machines (i.e. i7 3.4GHz, 16GB Ram, 128GB SSD and decent Motherboards). Now one very annoying bug occurs (and it only occurs on windows machines).
System Information
- Windows 7 SP1 (x64, enterprise edition)
- Creative Suite Design Standard
- Indesign v7.5.1
- Photoshop
Lets assume we have an InDesign-Document with the following specifications:
Around 8mb size
Various Layers with images on network storages (mixed, eps and tif documents)
one of it is a relatively large tiff file (178mb) (300dpi, about 9.200x12.000px, opens normally in photoshop)
When I copy all elements of one page into the clipboard, it renders the pdf for a while. If I then try to start a new document in Photoshop, it won't let me use the clipboard, even though the document is in the clipboard (new document in indesign -> paste -> ét voila).
It seems to be the fault of either the tiff or some text layers (the used font is okay and recognized by photoshop, no errors here), but since we need the whole document in PS for editing purposes, it's a no-brainer to exclude layers for copy&paste.
What I've tried so far:
it's not the system itself, the error occurs on every machine, no matter if real computer or just a virtual machine with only windows, indesign and photoshop
Modified registry values for Photoshop (inserted AlwaysImportClipboard and AlwaysImportClipboard64 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\55.0\) - no change here.
empty clipboard in Photoshop before c&p.
Stupid thing is ... it works flawlessly on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the same Creative Suite version It would be great if anyone has any ideas concering this error.

I have just that !

WebLogic 11gR1: Where can I find the docs and the examples

I just installed the Zip Distribution of WebLogic 11gR1 on Ubuntu 10.10. I also installed the supplemental zip, that contained samples.
On the WebLogic 9 installation on a windows box at work, starting up WebLogic causes it to bring up a browser with a web page with very nice documentation on it, including hyperlinks to the examples. How do I find this page with my at home ZIp Distribution?

The README that accompanies the WLS supplemental zip file describes how to create the samples:
http://download.oracle.com/auth/otn/nt/middleware/11g/wls/README_SUPP.txt?e=1311046330&h=9c8a6b93b066372a53ca5d65bafcb9a5
>
WLS Supplemental Zip Distribution for Oracle WebLogic Server @WLS_VERSION@
The WLS supplemental zip distribution is intended for development use. It is
supported on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X systems. It contains the necessary
artifacts to develop and test applications on WebLogic Server.
WLS supplemental zip requires that the primary zip distribution is already set
up and is ready to use. Supplemental zip contains samples, evaluation database
(Derby) and L10N console help files.
The following instructions should help in quickly setting up the extra
components in WLS via the supplemental zip. Please refer to the general WLS
documentation for detailed instructions.
QUICKSTART
1. Ensure that WLS has been installed under MW_HOME (eg: /home/myhome/mywls)
using the zip distribution - wls@WLS_VERSION@_dev.zip
2. Extract the contents of the supplemental zip MW_HOME
3. Setup JAVA_HOME and MW_HOME variables in the current shell.
This should pre-exist.
Linux
$ export JAVA_HOME=/home/myhome/myjavahome
$ export MW_HOME=/home/myhome/mywls
Mac
$ export JAVA_HOME=
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home
$ export MW_HOME=/home/myhome/mywls
Windows
> set JAVA_HOME=C:\home\myhome\myjavahome
> set MW_HOME=C:\home\myhome\mywls
This version of WLS requires JDK 1.6. Ensure that you have the proper
JDK version installed.
4. Run the installation configuration script in the MW_HOME directory
(This step is required to be run only once. If you move the installation to
another location/machine, you need to rerun this step)
Linux/Mac
*$ ./run_samples.sh*
Windows
> run_samples.cmd
This step creates the sample domains. The sample
domains should be created in MW_HOME/wlserver/samples.
5. WLS can be started from these sample domains by issuing startWebLogic command.
This will also bring up the WLS console in the default browser.
6. Start a browser and open up url - 'http://localhost:7001/console' to
administer the server.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
# Samples
# Derby DB (for use with Samples)
# L10N versions of WLS console help files
CLEANUP
The supplemental zip contents are interleaved with the base zip contents. You
have to delete the MW_HOME directory which will delete both the WLS
installation as well as the supplemental zip contents.

Indesign Server and the SDK

I wanted to know whether the SDK is a part of Indesign Server CS6 so as to use it in coldfusion? Or the SDK comes with additional cost?

DPS and simple Edge animation - help

Hi-
I am having problems getting a very simple edge animation to work in my adobe digital publishing folio.
I have several kinds of other advanced web overlays using css3 transformations, other using jquery that work perfectly.
I thought I would save some time and try using edge for one simple animation, but nothing shows in the content overlay desktop preview or the ipad previewer. Or sometimes it all just spins and spins the desktop previewer never launches, and I have to force quit out of InDesign and restart my computer.
I have tried uploading the whole file folder as HTMLResources.zip as well as just linking to the index.html file.
My InDesign DPS is the most recent version CS 5.5 and Edge is the most recent preview.
I have also tried these tips - that were posed in a previous thread:
The first tip is to rename the InDesign layer after placing the animation.
In the Layers panel locate the sub-layer that represents the placed HTML. It may be named <rectangle>. You can locate it more easily if the animation is selected. When an object is selected the square to the right of the object will display in color.
Rename the sub-layer in such a way that removes the angle brackets. (Anything meaningful, just no brackets.) There’s some evidence that the angle brackets are causing issues when the content goes to DPS.
The next tip is around settings for making the animation play when you display the page. Here are the settings.
Auto-play = ON
Delay = 0.125
Can anyone see something that I may be doing wrong? Is Edge compatible with DPS?
Thank you!

It seems to me that the culprit lies in the generic name of the object <rectangle>, not necessarily in the Edge animation.
I had an issue with a simple button object that went away after renaming <rectangle> (the contents of the button was a simple rectangle filled with a RGB color) to something else.
The issue leads to a none working button in the Desktop Content Viewer to preview the folio or the article.

InDesign Mac and Windows troubles

Hi,
We got 2 different shares on our Windows Server. One share for InDesign documents and one share for pictures. The pictures are used in the InDesign documents.
We use InDesign CS6 for Mac and for Windows. If we create the InDesign documents on a Mac and open it on a Windows InDesign the picture links are broken. Same thing happens when we create the InDesign documents on Windows and open it on a Mac. Between 2 Macs or 2 Windows computers there isn't any problems.
If both the InDesign document and the picture we link to is on the same server share there's no problems too.
Shouldn't it be possible to edit the same InDesign documents on both Mac and Windows without breaking the links when they are stored on different shares?
Thanks!
Best regards
Brian

Sounds like either a problem with the path separators (Mac style vs. PC style), or possibly the network protocol used to link to the server on the Mac side.

How to set the scan rate in the example "NI435x.vi" for the 435x DAQ device?

I am using LabVIEW 6i, A 4351 Temperature/Voltage DAQ, and am using the example vi "NI 435x thermocouple.vi"
How do I set the scan rate on this VI? I added a counter to just to see the time between acquisitions, and it is roughly 4s for only 4 channels. The Notch Filter is set at 60, but is there a control for scan rate on this example. I'd like to acquire around 1 Hz.

Using this DAQ example, it may be easiest to simply place a wait function in the loop and software time when the data is extracted from the board. You can also take a look a the NI-435x pallette and the examples it ships with, along with the timing specs on page 3-3 of the 435x manual and set the filters to meet your needs:

Why are my LabView Dialog Boxes no longer modal when using the Example LabVIEW Operator Interfaces?

Hello,
I have a step in my sequence that pops up a modal LabVIEW dialog box. My LabVIEW vi uses the TestStand - Start Modal Dialog.vi and TestStand - Stop Modal Dialog.vi as described in the example and it works as advertised when I'm using the TestStand Development environment however when I use the sample Operator Interfaces distributed with TestStand the Dialog boxes lose focus. I have the VI Properties->Window Appearance set to Dialog and have followed all of the instructions I could find for making a dialog modal. I've also reviewed all the documentation I could get my hands on including previous posts on this board and didn't see anything obvious.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be missing? Has anyone else experienced this problem and come up with the solution?
I am using LabVIEW 8.0 along with TestStand 3.5.
Thanks,
RG

Hi RG,
Running the example modal dialog in the teststand3.5 examples folder and using labVIEW8.0, I notice that when the Dialog is displayed its not active, but it is modal to the OI. Clicking on the Dialog panel makes it active. If you try to click on the OI panel behind, you can not. Is this what you are seeing?
I am using the Full labVIEW IO as supplied with TestStand and the example VI in the modal dialog folder is as supplied.
The LabVIEW Adapter is still configured to use the active labVIEW developement environment.
If I run the same example, only this time using LabVIEW7.1, the Dialog panel is active.
There is a patch to take it to labVIEW8.01, at this moment in time I am not sure what the update fixes.
There does seem to be a problem with TestStand3.5 (engine) and LabVIEW 8.0.

InDesign CS5 and InCopy CS3

I work at a weekly newspaper, and we have been using and InDesign/InCopy workflow for several years. The Reporters use InDesign CS2 (never did get around to installing the CS3 upgrades we bought because at first the computers they use wouldn't handle it, and after the computer upgrades got done all around, no one ever bothered). After the stories are written, the editor reviews them in InCopy, then releases them to the page designers who are now working in InDesign CS3 as part of Standard and Premium Suites.
We are considering upgrading to InDesign CS5, but absolutely NONE of the reporters or the editor needs (or will ever use) the listed improvements included in InCopy CS5. Since there are nine InCopy products in the office, and as everyone knows the economy sucks - especially for PRINTED NEWSPAPERS these days, we really hate to have to upgrade just for upgrades sake.
I have downloaded InDesign CS5 trial to check if our CS3 files will open and work in it, after reading an article published in the Washington Newspaper, a publication put out by the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association, reported that one of the state's newspapers happily upgraded to CS5 and had a nightmare of problems just opening their CS4 files. This has my editor very nervious about us upgrading. So... I'm testing it out, and I can't place, then open and edit our CS3 Incopy Files. I get a message that says "this story needs toa be converted to "InCopy Document" format to edit it. I've saved it in InCopy CS3 to both incx and incd formats, and both receive the error. Has Adobe made simple InCopy files incompatible with InDesign? I can import files from just about everywhere BUT InCopy??? The Sister Program?
Please advise a simple work around, or I'll bet our upgrade is totally put off.
Daria Lacy
The Reflector

Bob,
I have to feel that you aren't really reading my posts. While I did mention that our reporters and editor lessentially use InCopy for a word processing program, I did specifically mention in my last post that we use the program for exactly what it was originally intended, for reporters to write and edit, for designers to layout the text, and for writers/and or correction people to get into the files and fix problems - up until the last minute, so yes, we do need to use InCopy, in the manner we were told it was developed for. We don't use it for viewing layouts - that's what InDesign is for.
PLUS, none of our reporters have time, inclination or need to view the layout as it appears in InDesign. If they did, we'd get InDesign for them. They are busy investigating and writing stories, they don't have time to learn even the basics of layout, and frankly, they don't even want to. The one single reporter that is interested has learned some of the basics of InDesign, but she doesn't use it on a regular basis, and dosn't need or want to view the pages. She does need and want to edit a story occasionally even after it's been placed into the layout, but she want's to view it as the same copy she wrote, so she can do it quickly, not as a page layout she has to hunt thru it and every other story on the page to find the problem.
I don't mind Adobe stopping selling older versions - don't blame them at all on that one - if you're buying a new product - go buy the latest and greatest. If the version didn't matter, you wouldn't have to worry if about matching your other versions and you wouldn't need to find an old version. But why BUILD IN obselecense in a PART of a system within just a couple of years. We're using CS3 InDesign, yes, but we bought it just shortly before they came out with CS4. If we'd known when the release would be (we don't track the industry close enough to be checking on when release dates are "expected" to be) we'd have probably waited the 4 months and upgraded to that. But time wise, we haven't had the CS3 THAT long, so I don't go along with the "two versions back is too old" theory.
I'm afraid I don't quite see why the text fit would change from one version to another when the fit is based on font, text size, etc. And that doesn't change, Times Roman, 10.5 point on 10.7 leading... And as far as split/span/balanced column features and mutiple page sizes - those aren't going to affect our work flow at all. All we need is the ability to write text, and edit that text from other desks besides the designers, as well as the designers being able to open the file to fix headline size in InDesign.
As for the reporters getting the trial version and trying it out - did you miss where I mentioned that we provided CS3 to all of them, and pretty much none of them bothered to load it onto their computers??? They don't want any bells and whistles. They want to keep going as they are going.
If they wanted to go to the latest and greatest - it'd wouldnt' be an issue - but they don't need or want it, why should they be forced to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading?
And that also brings up the issue, when we buy those 7 versions that aren't going on computers with InDesign (and the whole rest of the Standard and Design Suites) who wants to bet me that it's gonna take more hard drive space, more ram, and there's a huge potential that it ain't even going to fit on their computers and still leave room for it to think?
And just one other though - just because backwards incompatibility is a fact of life in today's programs - does that make it good or right?
What this basically means, with no specific NEED for the designers to upgrade to InDesign CS5, and the requirement that if they do we'll have to upgrade not only the reporter's versions of InCopy AND most probably, their computers, we will probably put off upgrading and wait another year and a half for CS6.

Adobe Indesign CC2014 and mac freeze crash at dialog box "nouveautés"

Hi !
Adobe Indesign CC2014 and the mac freeze crash when the dialog box "nouveautés" appears !
The Indesign CC work fine and doesn't crash, but the CC2014 freeze on this dialog box !
Is there a possibility to do this dialog box don't appears ? In preference file to edit on the disc for exemple ? or a file to delete ?
Thanks

Thanks pooja2087 but that doesn't work !
But I have news :
I have started without extensions (with "Maj") and then the windows "Nouveautés" appears but totally white, but that is working, i can close the windows and work with indesign. But the windows appears on next launch because I cannot clic on the "don't show next time" case (the windows is white).
Then this windows is the problem (probably directX function that crash my old computer (this one is old)).
Then how can I desactivate this window on startup ?

How to use the examples in IMAQ Vision Builder?

I tried many times to use the examples brought in IMAQ Vision Builder(or LabView 6i ?) or download the similar examples from website of NI in order to learn some skills(I am really new with it!). But Whenever I click the example I want to run and a new dialog window always opened and ask me to find a VI named ???(??? is like for emample: IMAQ Windraw) and I always failed to find this VI!!! Where are this VI or How to use those emamples??? Thank you advanced!!!

Hello Swedlin,
IMAQ WindDraw is a VI that is included in the IMAQ Vision toolkit (see http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?lang=US&pc=mn&cid=1305 for ordering information).
If you are tring to run examples that include IMAQ WindDraw (or any other functions that are in IMAQ Vision), a dialog message will prompt you locate the VI manually (because the initial search failed).
- Installing IMAQ Vision for LabVIEW will remove the message, and the examples will run.
