Indesign Image Catalog Script

Hi,
I need to change the current Indesign (CS3)ImageCatalog script (.jsx) to look a all files and folders on a CD not just a single folder. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks!

The way it's supposed to be used is by changing the way you wiev files in Bridge. Disable folders, and you will see all files.
So in Bridge choose the CD*/Folder that contains the images/folders with images you wish to use, in the Filter Panel, click on the Folder symbol, this will show all files in all folders below the containing folder.
Selecting no files, and just running the Indesign Contact Sheet script will then use all the files.
*(Actually you should properbly copy the files to your desktop)
That should do the trick.

Is there a way to format images using Image Catalog Script in Indesign cs4?

I'm trying to make photo cards that are 3x4". I have 53 photos and I want one on a page. The script gets all the pages, but I can't figure out how to change the page size when I use the script. I keep getting 8 1/2x11. I have a master page set up. Anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks!

It looks like that will make a document using whatever the current default is—the same thing you would start from if you did File=>New=>Document. So you should make a new document preset (File=>Document Presets=>Define...) at the size you want, then make a new document, choosing that preset. Close that document and then run the script again.

I have an 10x14" InDesign image that I'd like to shrink to fit within a 8.5x11 printed document.

I have an 10"x14" InDesign image that I'd like to shrink to fit within a 8.5"x11" printed document (using InDesign) without losing the quality of the image (especially on print). What is the correct/least destructive process to do this?
And how is it that you can view different image sizes on Flickr (of the same image) and it doesn't seem to effect the quality of the image?
I have tried saving/exporting the InDesign image as an EPS file, then opening the file in Photoshop, adjusting the size to my liking, saving it as a Photoshop file, then placing that file in a new InDesign document, and the image comes up distorted looking/pixelated even with my screen zoomed at 100%. I've also tried this same process with exporting it as a PDF file instead of an EPS file with the same distorted/pixelated results.
Help!?!?! Thank you in advance!!

I am assuming you are in InDesign CS5:
Change your InDesign Document Size, but before you do this you must make sure the "Enable Layout Adustment" is on.
Under: Layout/Layout Adjustment/Check the "Enable Layout Adjustment" box is checked and adjust Snap Zone.
ALSO: Make sure your horizontal and vertical margins touches your live area.
Then you can change size of document

How to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign by Apple Scripting

Hi Friends,
I am new to Indesign Scripting by Apple Script. As a beginner, I am trying to do some basic scripting in Indesign by Apple Script.
My aim is to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign. This option is available when we go to Indesign ---> Preferences----> Appearance of Black.
Also, if a user opens a file, in which the swatch is already enabled, then it should prompt him for disabling.
I can make a display dialog in AppleScript. But, I am bit unsure as how can I go ahead and disable this option. I tried this below script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
      tell every layout window to set overprint preview to false
end tell
However, it is changing the view option to overprint preview.
Appreciate your help and suggestions!
Thanks,
Abhishek

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
          tell the active document
                    set overprint black of document preferences to false
          end tell
end tell

Image processor script

Hi everyone,
I just tried using Photoshop's image processor script to convert a folder of .ai files into .tiff files. When it finished running though, I noticed that the physical file size of each image was really tiny, ie. not the same as the original .ai file. For example I had an A4 sized .ai file and it ended up being only about 2cm in width after being converted to a .tif.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Any advice appreciated.

It is a long-ish Script, but at a glance it does not seem to be intended for use on ai-files.
There are a couple of other Image Processor-style Scripts available, but I’m not sure they make provisions for that case.
Maybe you should ask over at
Photoshop Scripting
or

Image Processor script won't close windows

I'm testing a client's favorite method for converting folders of, say, 1000 images from RAW to large JPEG. He now uses Photoshop in CS3: He opens File Menu > Scripts > Image Processor, designates a huge folder of RAW files, sets the right parameters, and saves to a different folder. Works perfectly (but slowly) on a Mac G5.
Now I am testing it on a Mac Pro in PS-CS4, the setup he wants to buy, using exactly the same parameters. Trouble is, the window that opens on each document isn't closed, and so they accumulate! Doesn't matter whether Tabs is enabled or not. Starts eating up scratch space and has the potential to open 1000 tabs or windows. Something is wrong.
Same operation works perfectly in PS-CS3 on this Mac Pro.
If the Close Window is missing from this repeating script, then it should be added back -- or a checkbox should be added: "Close each window." I haven't been able to create an Action that will close each window without confusing the Save/Save As mechanism in the script.
How can I report this apparent bug? Or can someone please tell me what I'm missing.
(I know there are other ways to accomplish this task. But this one should work!)

From Kathy: "I still can not find out your issues here. You may try report this to adobe through this link.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform"
Thank you, Kathy! This was the tip I needed. I thought that Adobe may, indeed, be monitoring this forum. Many manufacturers monitor and post in their own forums, e.g. Apple.
"Also one simple workaround for you, could be create a close action and run this action in Image Processor."
I really did try this. Trouble is, you run into unresolvable interactions with a Save As dialog. I.e. the Close Action seems to interfere with the saving of the converted JPEG. At least I couldn't get it to work -- but it should not be necessary.
There are workarounds, such as selecting multiple items in Bridge, opening them all into ACR, and then selecting them all and clicking Save File. Doesn't open any windows at all! But the bug still needs to be reported.
From Ramon: "Before your frustration causes you to become overly argumentative, you may want to consider that your interlocutor may actually know a bit more than you seem to think she does. Kathy may even be part of the Adobe team, for all you know."
You are reading way too much into what I said. Argumentative? I meant what I said literally. The behavior of the Image Processor script should not have any dependencies, and the documentation (such as it is) indicates none whatever. Further, the script, when run identically in CS3, runs perfectly.

What image gallery script is this?

Hi,
Has someone any clue about what kind of image gallery script is on this site? Pictures scale to page size in full screen , easy forward-backward browsing. And thats it, simple and user friendly. Most of image galleries are quite heavy in practice. Im looking for something much the same.

How create indesign using Java Script

I am new in indesign and want to create indesign application using JavaScript.
When i use AppleScript to create Indesign Application i use this statement
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"

end tell
Indesign Application create sucessfully.
How create Indesign Application using JavaScript ?
or what is equivelent statement of ( tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5" ) in Java Script.
There are some java scripting example given on forum or in sdk.These all example start with app.
when I debug these java script using ExtendScript ToolKit 3.6 It give error on app (undefined app).I think this app ia application object.
How create indesign application object app in javascript ?
While this script run sucessfully when i put these script in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Scripts
and to run these script use Scripts panel (choose Window > Utilities > Scripts), then double-click the script name in the Scripts panel in indesign application.But In this case first i start indesign application and then choose Window > Utilities > Scripts then double-click the script name in the Scripts panel.
I want to create Indesign Application (instance) using JavaScript.When I run or (debug) my JavaScript in any javaScript tool like ExtendScript ToolKit 3.6 then Indesign application should start, like in Apple Script.
Thanks

Thanks Vamitul for reply
For example when i run SelectObjects.jsx An InDesign CS5.5 JavaScript in ESTK then message prompt "Target Adove Indesign CS5.5 is not running. Do you want to lanch." Then on click yes Indesign application start.
I want to Know how indesign object "app" is created to start Indesign application on click yes.
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/indesign/cs55-docs/In DesignScripting/InDesign-ScriptingTutorial.pdf
Like in VB to create indesign object we use CreateObject("InDesign.Application"). In javascript how create object say "app" of InDesign Application.
For example if i write
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item(0).textFrames.add();
myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p", "6p", "24p", "24p"];
myTextFrame.contents = "Hello World!";
in a simple text file and save it with .js extention and to open this double click on this it give error undefined "app".
Source :Microsoft JScript runtime error
So how define "app" or create indesign object ?
Thanks

JS CS2 Call out specific image in script

I've never had to do anything with images in scripting, and I'm unclear whether I need to use "links", "images", "graphics"...so I came here. For everything I've found here so far, people are dealing with all images in a document. I just want to perform an action on a specific image, not all. (example: "logo.eps")
I have the same image in each document twice - once on the left master page and once on the right master page. It's a logo, and we've just added the registered mark to it, so we need to update it on all of our documents. The new image is the same name, so I need to:
*Update both links to the image
*Fit frame to content to both (the (R) makes the logo wider)
*On the left-hand master page, 'fit frame to content' widens the frame to the right. I need the right edge of the logo to stay on the right margin
I don't want to "fit frame to content" for all images, because some frames for other images may have been purposely sized--I don't want those to change.
Suggestions? (Unfortunately, we're still on CS2)

Hi Loic,
Thanks! It seems like a good start. It's not exactly working, but I'll see if I can adjust it myself from here. (For example, it's only updating the logo on the left master page. The one on the right page is not updating.) If I can't, I'll be back...

Indesign image display is very slow and jerky

good morning
I contacted Adobe Customer Service in Italy because I have big problems with the Creative Suite CS 5.5, in particular with Indesign and in general with the display of images of AI and Acrobat.
As I work with Indesign image display is very slow and jerky. Even with AI and Acrobat work experience is not good, the images are jerky and there are hesitations in the fluidity of view.
The software is installed on windows 7 64bit Utlimate, the workstation is very powerful: Supermicro motherboard, dual Xeon E5620 2.4ghz, 16gb ram, SSD OCZ vertex4, PNY Nvidia Quadro 4000.
The customer service has sent me several tips for email, I have followed all the instructions but I did not get results. In conclusion, when I pointed out that reading on the forums I was not the only one who showed this problem and after discussing about my hardware configuration, they told me that the problem is probably due to the fact that I have two Xeon processors!
In efects had observed that CS 5.5 on my notebook works better, but I never thought about having problems because the PC is powerful. I checked the CPU and GPU when using Indesign and I could see that uses a single CPU, and most "only 1 core"! But of CPUs in the system there are two for a total of 8 cores. Indesign seems to use only 1/8 of the available computing power ... In addition, practically does not use the GPU (only 10-15%).
From the customer service was suggested to disable or remove a processor from the system. All this seems to me incredible. I use the workstation for applications that can take advantage of the power of the machine, should I remove the processor whenever I have to use CS 5.5? If things are this way I'm thinking of asking if Adobe buy me a PC with a single processor only for use with CS 5.5 ...
Thank you.

Interesting idea, I'll investigate in this direction, I should try to make a mirror of the ssd on a traditional hard drive, exchange them and see if the situation changes. It must, however, be a further factor in the eventual bad combination hardware ... on my laptop I have: windows 7 x64, intel core i7 processor, 16gb of ram, nvidia quadro 3000m, and .... a ssd ocz agility 3, but indesign is more responsive.
But why indesign should be influenced by the hard-drive? With 16gb of ram and working files on NAS because in design interacts with the hard drive?

When I "save page as" I also get a folder with gif images, jscript script files and other similar items. how can I stop this.

When I "save page as" via the file button at the top edge of the page, I also get a folder containing gif images, jscript script files and other similar items. I am not is allowed to delete it unless I also delete the page I need. How can I stop this from happening. is it the way I've configured firefox perhaps.
== since I installed firefox

Make sure that you have selected "Web Page, complete" to save the page.

Discovering problem in image changing script

Hello!
I'm quite new to flash editing and am currently working on a pre-designed template for a friend. I was in the midst of replacing the photo's and something went awry with the image changing script. You can see exactly what I mean here:
http://www.greenworknow.com/Test/2138/flash&html/main.swf
http://www.greenworknow.com/Test/2138/flash&html/main2.swf
The first link is a successful working change, I had edited it a few days before and everything worked just fine. But in the second part you can see the same movie, but with the animations all choppy and broken. To change the images, I simply viewed the properties of the image needing to be change and used "Update", selected the new image and saved. But when following these same steps again I seem to get really choppy animations, any clues to what I'm doing wrong?
I've made sure to crop the new images to the same size, I've also tried using Import instead of Update. I can't seem to find a way to keep everything smooth. Any help is much appreciated, thank you!
[Also unfortunately I do not have the FLA file for the first movie, only the FLA file for the (broken) second one.]

Both movies look approximately the same. There was some jerkiness to the photos showing up in each movie. The problem that you are seeing may be due to the first movie's images being cached and the second was not.
