InDesign Localization Capabilities

Hi there
I have reviewed some indd files in InDesign.
I am trying to see how it is possible to export the content of the file/document to html/xml file with a view to translating the file and reimporting back the translations.
I have tried the export option of via html and this seems to work, however there is no option to import html, only xml.
Can you confirm the functionality in InDesign for localization, is this something that is done? If any tutorials/links please let me know.
Many thanks,
Kate

Thanks Jongware for thread above.
I found since that the .idml file can be extracted and within the Stories folder can see all the English text within content tags in xml files.
I wondered if the stories xml files could be translated for example and then imported back into the idml or indd file to replace the english text with the new translations and if this was a possiblity for translating the text.

Indesign Image capabilities?

Is there a way in ID to tag images? For instance, if I'm building layouts for an ipad, I then have to export the images in PS to save out for web and devices, 144dpi, etc. It would be nice if I could export the images at the exact size, rotation, etc. from ID to PS. It would also be nice if ID could let me tag the images so I know the picture box frame specs etc. Is there a way to do this or is there a plugin for this type of functionality? Any insight would be appreciated.

var theLinks = theDoc.links;
l = theLinks.length;
while(l--){
if(theLinks[l].linkType.search(/Word|Excel|Text/) === -1){
    theName = theLinks[l].name.replace(/\..{3,4}/, '')
myContainer =     theLinks[l].parent.parent;
gBounds = myContainer.geometricBounds.join(', ');
myContainer.label = gBounds;
parentPageNumber = myContainer.parentPage.name;
newFile =new File(destPath + parentPageNumber + '_' + theName + '.jpg');
if(myContainer.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, newFile) === false){alert(newFile + ' konnte nicht geschrieben werden')}
Hope it'll be of any help

Indesign: language modules; link to a database

I would like to create a catalogue in different languages. Is there a tools/function for Indesign to create a module for each language?
Is it possible to link an Indesign file to a database?

I'd suggest that you tell us a lot more about your project if you want the "best solution." At the current level of detail, I'd say "job it out to a translation firm."
InDesign by itself cannot be populated directly by database content. You'd either need to export something from the database that InDesign can handle (XML or CSV or XLS, each with advantages and limitations) or you'd need to expand InDesign's capabilities with a third-party tool like InCatalog. There are many such tools.
Different versions of InDesign have varying degrees of support for non-Latin scripts. Once again, depending on your version of ID and your target languages, you may need to expand InDesign's capabilities in this area with third-party tools like, say, World Tools (my personal favorite).
Lastly - if you have in-house expertise in a scripting language, you may be able to do all of the above with scripting.

Internationalization/localization in Adobe AIR

Hi,
I would like to know how can we change the applications
strings used according to OS language. i.e. Is there any way in AIR
to get the OS language so as to use the respective resource bundle.
Thanks in advance,
Vijayata

Actually i got confused what is given in the flex help:
As at one point it’s given:
Under the topic: flash.system.Capabilities:
Specifies the language code of the system on which the
content is running. On English systems, this property returns only
the language code (en), not the country code.
On Microsoft Windows systems, this property returns the user
interface (UI) language, which refers to the language used for all
menus, dialog boxes, error messages, and help files.
And
At other point it’s given:
Under the topic: Introduction to localization:
Capabilities.language -- The Capabilities.language property
in ActionScript
provides the language code for Adobe® Flash® Player
and Adobe AIR™. This property returns the user interface
language, which refers to the language used for all menus, dialog
boxes, error messages, and help files in Flash Player and AIR.
Browser and OS language settings --
You can access the browser's or operating system's language
settings in the HTML wrapper by using JavaScript. You can then
pass the values as flashVars variables to your application.
So i got confused does it gives us the OS language or Adobe
AIR installers language.
I hope you got whats my concern.
Thanks,
Vijayata.

Does InDesign CC support Asian languages?

We do multiple versions of documents for our International markets. We just upgraded to InDesign CC (2014), but our translation company told us they have CC (2014) but InDesign CC does not support Asian languages (in this case, CH-TRA), so they will provide us with CS6 files. Can anyone help me understand this? I have been using CH-TRA fonts in CC for a while.

I suspect that it's either "Our translation memory tool can't handle IDML generated by CC" or, more likely, "We use DTP talent that cannot afford CC because we pay them almost nothing."
I have sent my fair share of InDesign localization/DTP work abroad in CC formats and have gotten back files generated by a wide variety of non-CC versions. I recall one ten-language rush job in CC where I did five languages myself, and we sent the other five to an unnamed North African DTP house. They did good work, as usual - but files came back in CC, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, and CS4 file formats.

How do I create a field, in which people can click to accept my general business terms?

How do I create a field, in which people can click to accept my general business terms?

I'm not sure what are InDesign's capabilities in this field, but I think
you can do everything there, except for setting up the button field with
the right options and applying the one line of code that allows the user to
import their own images into it.

Scaling SWF in PDF (FlashVar)

I'm currently strucling with an exported SWF file from Indesign, which I want to import in an interactive pdf. The importing isn't the problem, but it appears the SWF file does not scale with the pdf, when for example putting the pdf in fullscreen (or ctrl + ctrl -).
When I'm importing a SWF file which has the following actionscript: "stage.scaleMode = "extactFit";" it will work. But since I'm not in control of Indesigns export capabilities, I can't change this actionscript (I'm aware of changing the actionscript with the special decompiling tools, but then the "page transitions' from Indesign don't work anymore).
Furthermore I saw the special features when importing the SWF file, like the FlashVar options, but I really tried everything here to make it work. Apparently I don't know how it works, or Acrobat is failing...?
Maybe some of you had this problem before, please let me know!

The SWF will only scale with the PDF when scaleMode is set to exact fit. My suggestion is that you use another tool for authoring the SWF that will let you set the stage properties.
You can see an example of the difference in the two modes on my old blog at the URL below.

Stuck in IDCS4 Table H*ll--Please Help

I'm working on updating a parts catalog for my company (800+ pages) and it's my first big project using IDCS4. We've separated each section into an individual document (most between 50-80 pages, but a couple of the sections are 100+ pages).
Due to the nature of the project, I've attempted to make my documents as flexible as possible. Over the next few years we will be inserting new information at different places in the catalog, as we begin to carry new items. Because of this possibilty, the current information for each section is placed in an single table that overflows from the first page through the last page of that document.
The problem I keep running into, is that the table rows for different parts of the same document have to be formatted differently to achieve a consistent appearance. There are a few parts that have additional information that requires splitting and/or merging table cells.
Here are a few issues I've come across:
* When I try to Shift + drag a cell border, ID will not allow me to drag it past the threshhold of another cell in a higher or lower row. For example, I have a 3 inch cell in Row 2 of my document that begins at 0" and ends at 3". Further down at row 7, I have divided the 3" row vertically. The right half of the divided cell has been merged to the adjacent cell (to the right). When I try to drag the left wall of this cell toward the left, ID won't let me drag it past the 3" mark on the ruler (in fact, it stops about 1/16" short). Is there a way to override this and freely drag the cell wall to whatever size I want it to be?
* My other issue is attempting to paste rows from one ID document to another. Occasionally, ID allows me to do it, but it plays heck with my formatting when it does. Most times, even when the rows seem to be right at or very close to the same dimensions, the Paste function is not available after I Cut or Copy the rows from the older document.
Can anyone provide advice/solutions or even explain to me that I'm going about this all wrong, or have I come across an inherent weakness of InDesign's capabilities. I understand that an application that does every single thing you'll ever want or need isn't out there, but it seems like it's those things I want or need most that ID refuses to do.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all of your help. I checked out catalog plugins and downloaded a couple of the trial versions. They seem to be a great tool and something I'll probably pursue in the future. Unfortunately, their parameters weren't compatible with the amount of work I've already put into this project and in the interest of time-saving, I'm going to pursue another path for this version of the catalog so I can take my time working on the prep it would take make the most of the catalog plugins.
I did some homework on the linked text frames solution and have proceeded down that path. Due to some of the formatting (some of the pages were a lot more difficult than the sample I uploaded), I'm still using tables to preserve a consistent look, but I've broken down each product section into a separate table (of no more than 20-30 product listings per table). I don't know why that didn't occur to me earlier, I guess I was in the dark about the reflow feature that keeps objects flowing consecutively.
One other problem I'm having that I haven't found a suitable answer to: When pasting rows from one table to another, most help databases I've seen praise the flexibility of InDesign to copy from one table and *as long as there are enough rows to add the new info*, pasting from one table to another is a snap. However, I've found limited success with this feature. I'm not sure if it has to do with my tables, some of which became very complex (through splitting and merging cells to preserve a consistent appearance throughout a section), but InDesign will allow me to cut rows from one table and insert them as a new table into a text frame; however, when I try to copy more rows from the first table (formatted the same as the first rows that I cut), the Paste feature is inactive. Other than the first series of rows being cut from one table and pasted as a new table, their is no difference between them and the next section of rows I'm attempting to add to the end of the table.
Any thoughts on the seeming inconsistency?

Ideas about adding scorm capabilities to Indesign

Hello,
I'm using to deliver my content in 2 methods:
1. Adobe captivate for e-learning courses
2. Adobe indesign for books
Those 2 methods share great part of the content.
Indesign well supported to work with database content, which mean i can change my content from database and the data spread out to any book this piece of content deliver to.
With adobe captivate it impossible, the only way is maybe via XML, but the xml is not order by slides and I can't see logical order there.
after i read pipwerks.com article about add scorn to swf/html, I thought about using indesign for courses as well, and maybe use some solution to add scorn capabilities to indesign. http://pipwerks.com/2008/05/08/adding-scorm-code-to-an-html-file/
I would appreciate every advice/tip you guys might give me.

InDesign version with English menus and Middle Eastern production capabilities

I need a version of InDesign CC that has English menus and Middle Eastern (Arabic & Farsi) book production capabilities. I've spoken with 5 Adobe support techs but I've not yet received a download link.

Do you have the Creative Cloud app installed? Click on the settings "gear" in the upper-right-hand corner, go to Preferences, choose Apps, and then select "English (الشرق الأوسط)". Then when you download InDesign you'll get the Middle East edtion with English menus and controls for spine-right binding, kashidas, text direction, et cetera.

InDesign and Mobile Capabilities

Hi,
My company is implementing a mobile strategy. Currently, we do not use InDesign; however, I have been asked to research it's mobile capabilities. Does anyone know how involved it is to create documents (guides, manuals, etc.) for mobile devices using InDesign? Can one document be published to different documents easily? Can you publish to a mobile device without the Digital Publishing Suite? Are there other mobile capabilities?
Thanks.

CS3 InDesign & Illustrator Install Exit Code 7; Other CS3 Apps Install Fine

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse... (no offence to horse lovers out there - it's just an expression)
I'm having trouble performing an silent install of the CS3 suite from a network share on Windows 7. I've read through a number of posts on here, one of which was a 3 page post on this issue where Mac & Win 7 users alike posted failures, successes and how they got there, and another about removing the OS check feature from the application.proxy.xml file (which didn't work for me; unless I did something wrong...?) Unfortunately for me after trying much of what was suggested, I'm still facing a brick wall.
All these machines are Core 2 Duo's clocked at no less than 2.2GHz, have 4GB of RAM, have over 100GB of free disk space and are running fully updated/patched installations of Windows 7 32-bit (x86) with Office 2007 Enterprise.
When I try to install the suite silently it fails with 'Exit Code: 7', which according to the CS3_Deployment.pdf means "Unable to complete the silent workflow." If I take out the "--mode=silent" switch, the GUI launches and installs fine. I took a look at the compressed log file & searched for "Return value 3", "ERROR" and "FATAL" for clues, but its vague and nondescript. I didn't copy/paste the entire log in this post for brevity's sake, but you can check it out here:

I've got some initial questions that pertain to what's in the log file:
The areas in bold: Since the same install also fails on Windows XP machines, what does this mean exactly?
The areas in italics: Can anyone expand on what that means?
The underlined areas: What 'Policy' is this referring to: Setup's own internal policy (like the OS check) or something else?
Here's what I've done so far:
Went through the 'Run a silent installation of Adobe Creative Suite 3' document
Went through the 'Troubleshoot installation with install logs | CS3, CS4' document
Used the Adobe Support Advisor to go through the logs, but it always says that no problems are found.
Recreated the install & uninstall XML files, twice, via the "setup.exe --record=1" method for each application & the entire suiteNot that I think this is important, but I was never prompted to enter a serial number when creating the .XML files.
Renamed the XML files for each application (e.g.: Photoshop-install.xml; CS3Suite-install.xml; Flash-remove.xml etc.)
Copied the XML files to a common folder on a network share (e.g.: \\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3\XMLs)
Created install batch files for each application, including the suite, that install via the following command"\\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3\Setup.exe" --mode=silent --deploymentFile="\\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3\XMLs\Photoship-install.xml"
Tried the installs with & without the "--skipProcessCheck=1" switch but there's no change.
No applications are running during the installs.
Verified my application.xml.override file was in \\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3\payloads\AdobeDesignSuitePremiumen_US_Volume
Verified I didn't have any strange characters in my application.xml.override fileI deleted and manually retyped all double quotes just to be sure.
I noticed that the "installSourcePath" property in the install.xml files created point to a local location rather than, what I would expect to be, the installation source folder where I copied the contents of the DVD to. On a whim I changed it to point to the copied DVD files but that didn't seem to help either so I changed it back.
FROM: <Property name="installSourcePath">C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\498b43b77cac072081a5692bfc52804</Property>
TO: <Property name="installSourcePath">\\path\to\Adobe\Design Premium CS3\Adobe CS3</Property>
Aside from Acrobat Reader 9.4.0, Adobe Flash Player 10 (ActiveX & Plugin) and maybe Shockwave 11, these machines never previously had any other Adobe products installed.
For what its worth, uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.4.0 doesn't seem to help either. I didn't try removing Flash Player or Shockwave [yet].
Using the install XML files I created via "setup.exe --record=1", when I run installs for the individual applications silently [via batch files] one at a time, all applications install fine except for Illustrator and InDesign: Exit Code 7.
This may further help suggest my application.xml.override file is fine.
Even more interesting is that I get the same error on Windows XP and Windows 7 machines alike. (See the image below taken from an XP machine; the same happens on Windows 7 machines so it doesn't appear this problem is OS specific.)
Other than removing Flash Player, Shockwave and ripping out our Anti-Virus solution (Sophos), which is going to be difficult, is there anything I've missed?
Anyone have suggestions on why Illustrator and InDesign don't install?

I spoke with Adobe Support today and was directed to this support article:
CPSID_84332 - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/843/cpsid_84332.html
Although this article speaks to CS5 installations, even though I thought I made it clear that I was working with CS3, I decided to give it a shot anyway.
The first comment passively suggests troubleshooting [all] "install errors using Creative Suite 5 install logs", which links you to CPSID_84451 - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/844/cpsid_84451.html. But again, its CS3 I'm having trouble with and I've already linked, what I believe to be, a more appropriate CS3 [and CS4] log troubleshooting document in my first post.
Step 1 requires restarting "your computer in a minimized state before running the installer." - This isn't at all optional nor ideal when we're talking about silent installations, especially when they can take place in the middle of the day - its highly distruptive, or deployments in general. Plus, I'm not interested in developing a package that will perform the steps outlined and then undo everything. Its important to note that this isn't a one-off problem: every machine that needs to have CS3 installed experiences this problem. But for what its worth:
I did as instructed in the troubleshooting documentation but it didn't work.
No other applications fail to install, and all but these lone Adobe CS3 apps install fine; what gives?
Step 2 is to perform a repair installation of the Windows Installer. (FYI: Windows 7 ships with 5.0, my version is 5.0.7600.16385, and for the record there doesn't seem to be a redistributable download available at this time.) I can't use this as part of my silent installation package because it calls you to run `sfc /scannow` which is time consuming and, if something is found, often requires a reboot. Fortunately for me, "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
Step 3 is to preinstall Adobe Air and the AdobeHelp payloads:
AIR isn't part of the CS3 DVD, it has to be downloaded & installed silently (via -silent -eulaAccepted if you don't have the redistributable package); this was done but didn't help.
There isn't an 'AdobeHelp' payload, only 'AdobeHelpViewerAll', which will not allow a manual instalation so I can't do that.
In summary, these tips unfortunately did not solve the problem.

How do you apply the same password policy to every PDF document you create with inDesign?

All,
Adobe peeps!,
I don't know if this is really supported with inDesign 5.5, but here is my my use case:
I constantly create more than 10 PDFs a day using inDesign
On all PDF's I create, i want to apply password security to protect them
But in order to do so, within inDesign, I am always forced to go to the "security dialogue" pane to set up the same permission and passwords over and over again
This gets tiring :/
So what I am hoping to do is the following:
Like acrobat, I want to create a password policy within inDesign
I want all PDFs created to have such a password policy be automatically applied
I know acrobat supports something like this (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d68.w.h tml), but, unless I may have missed something, the Acrobat feature is limited. That is, the help link does not tell me how to automatically do this with Acrobat either (the link does not explain to me how to "automatically apply the same password security policy to every PDF document I save within the application). I think the only way to do so is via "Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES", but for non server users, I am hoping there is another way.
So my questions are:
Is it possible to create password security policies in inDesign?
Is it possible to apply the same password security policy to every PDF i create in inDesign?
If not, can I change default settings within Acrobat ProX to automatically apply a password security policy everytime I save a PDF?
If all fails, do you guys know of any extensions that can support this?
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Steve,
Thanks for your notes. To follow up on your response.
Bummer. I kinda had a hunch at this inDesign limitation.
I have been aware of the method for setting up of a security policy within Acrobat. While this feature does cut down some of the work involved in creating and applying password policies to pdfs, what I am looking for with Acrobat is to apply the same password policy to every document I save from the app. Automatically. Without having to manualy select a policy.
I think my solution will have to lie in me creating some sort of script to help support this need. I don't think Acrobat Pro X has the capabilities to allow me to tinker with, say, creating a save PDF preset that will allow me to automatically apply a password policy.
PS. I am using acrobat pro x.

Is there a way to save a table in Photoshop (that was created in InDesign) without fuzzy text?

I am trying to save a table in Photoshop that was created in InDesign for web use. When I save it as a png (can't save as pdf or jpeg due to limitations with our company's website), the text appears fuzzy (pixelated?). Is this because the table is getting flattened/rasterized?
Is there a different adobe product that can be used to avoid this happening? The company who has built our website has a style editor that has limited capabilities. We have tried using the website's editor to create the tables; however, the editor lacks the flexibilty and user-friendliness that comes with InDesign. That is why we opted to create the tables in Indesign.
In order to upload the table into the editor, the file must be saved as a png, so that is why we are creating in InDesign and then saving the table in Photoshop.
Any ideas?
Thank you for the help!
Tracy

Thanks for your help!
Just to clarify, are you suggesting going through the export process while in Indesign? I did that and saved the table as an EPS file, then proceeded to open it, trim, and save as png in Photoshop. I noticed it lost it's white background when I reopened it in Photoshop; the table appeared with a transparent background (which isn't a big deal). When I uploaded the png in the website it doesn't appear to be as blurry, so that did help.
Thank you for the suggestion!
