Indesign XML-IN workflow - Anchoring issues

Hi all,
We are using Indesign CS5.5 and CS6.
For XML-IN workflow, we have developed a in-house tool for automation.
Marginal Notes: Using Script we drag the content from the XML tree and anchor it in Margin as per layout.
The issue here: In Pagination if they release the anchor the marginal content become Non-XML and wiped out from the XML tree.
Is there is any work-around to handle these types of issues.
Please advice.
Shaji

Hello Shaji.
As far as i know there is no solution for this. I'we been struggling with it for a while now. The only "workaround" i found was to use copy-paste instead of releasing the anchor:
Select the anchored frame, copy it, paste it in place, then remove the old anchor. It should create a new Story element in the XML tree.
It's not hard to script, if all you need is to release all anchors from the document/story, for example

Workflow Issue - Delivery address XML Reference workflow - Error

Hello All,
I am an ABAP developer, with very limited knowledge in Workflow, and I am stuck with an ongoing issue for quite sometime. We have a scenario where we need to a workflow triggers for a specific UNDATED sales order lines (identified by values in VBAP-Zfield ) in R/3 box, and it carries an XML request (probably mails it) to a SAP CRM destination, which would now update some CRM tables and generate a Call list in the SAP CRM box. This is one flow that used to be fine, but has stopped working since the past few months may because of some change, which is not yet identified. as multiple projects are working on the same boxes.
To elaborate -
1 - We have a SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 Idoc creating the SO, where in, based on a CUTOFF date condition, (if it is in the past), a VBAP-ZFIELD for the corresponding line is set to a value (08).
2 - This event is expected to trigger a workflow for the Undated order/Delivery resolution , which would then create an XML doc for the SO and send this across to CRM box
3 -This will then update a Ztable. This will be handled by a batch job in CRM to generate a call list.
Now we are facing a problem in the second step here, where in the activity - 'BCKGRD: Create XML_DOC for SO: xxxxxxxx' is completing successfully, but having a failure in the next step - 'Delivery address XML Reference workflow - ERROR'
This is how the detailed workflow log looks -

I've also attached a screenshot for the errors, if that gives a clue.
Request all the workflow experts to help me with a solution, or an approach towards a fix.
Thanks & Regards,
S Sen.

Hi S Sen,
Agree with Ronen....no mail recipient or from 10 records of mail recipient - one record is empty.
Try to find out the intended email recipients....any data change there might have resulted in errors since few months. Maybe, some position got vacant, some config table to get the recipients got changed.....
regards,
Modak

How to place the images in Indesign xml file by Javascript?

How to place the images in Indesign xml file by Javascript?
We got the Indesign xml file, how to give the image placement link by Indesign javascript? Please help me its urgent.

Hi,
You can pass the image url as a href attribute=> file:///Users/me/Documents/my_pic.jpg directly within your xml. It just needs that you pass a local, static and valid url.
If you want to add image later once the xml is flowed and so target specific nodes and inject images, it's a bit more complex. If the node is not part of the layout, you may try to reach the XMLElement objet and such an attribute, then layout the element.
var x = some XMLElement
x.xmlAttributes.add("href","file:///Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" );
If already placed, then you have to get the associated pageItem, then place your file into it.
pagItm.place ( File ( "/Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" ) );
Hope that helps,
Loic

InDesign cross-document Text Anchor Hyperlinks

I’m combining several InDesign files into one PDF, with several hundred text links across the different sections, as well as within each. The cross-document (section) Text Anchor Hyperlinks work fine in my workspace - but when I change the file location, they are no longer active (other links, bookmarks remain intact).
How do I set up InDesign cross-document Text Anchor Hyperlinks so that when the files are moved, they remain active?

They seem to be a lot of extra work, and I don't see what the additional benefit is. I have several hundred links to do. I would appreciate learning what the benefit is, as I don't mind the extra effort if it will deliver the desired results.

InDesign XML unparsed Entity unable to handle

Recently we switched over to the latest DocBook V5.1b2.
This DTD includes entityref attribute whose required value is an ENTITY.
Unfortunately this attributes throws error while validating in InDesign, which doesn't when validated with other XML validator tools after exporting.
I found the below note from InDesign XML reference document from the link
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_xmlrules.pdf
Note: Unparsed entity references are not processed by InDesign. For images, use an href attribute
that contains the file name instead. If necessary, transform the XML file with XSLT to create the
required structure.
Have any one got idea to overcome this restriction within InDesign to handle unparsed entities.

"Within" InDesign, no, nothing you can do. It's documented though, as you found out yourself, and the solution provided might work.
Can you show a tiny snippet of XML where this entity attribute is used? It ought to be quite simple to write an XSLT that removes this attribute and does an identity transform on the rest of the data, and to apply this XSLT on importing your XML.

Does anybody know when the InDesign Digital Magazine Workflow is coming out?

Does anybody know when the InDesign Digital Magazine Workflow is coming out?

InDesign CC fails during update - issue has lasted approx 6 weeks - have deleted app, no change. Need fix.

InDesign CC fails during update - issue has lasted approx 6 weeks - have deleted app, no change.
The update process for InDesign is broken.
Need this fixed.

It's the same issue that - apparently - has existed for YEARS.
The installer can't find a file it thinks should be named a certain way and stops trying. Even though Adobe is the part responsible for naming files.
The programmers haven't included any sort of troubleshooting scenarios in their updater. And they haven't kept up with all the ways they name files in various versions.
It's this error from the log file:
ERROR: DS015: Unable to read symlink target of source file "/Applications/Adobe Media Encoder CC/Adobe Media Encoder CC.app/MediaIO/codecs/MCMPEG4VideoCodec.framework/MCMPEG4VideoCodec"(Seq 11)
I've done all the troubleshooting of this Adobe programming issue I'm going to do.
Adobe knows about this issue and needs to update the software manager.
I'm extremely unhappy that I'm paying $600 a year for Adobe to write crap software and expect ME to troubleshoot their junk.
I don't NEED Adobe software. I'm on the verge of canceling my subscription.
This is completely unacceptable.

Best way to get SharePoint workflow to trigger InDesign XML refresh and PDF export?

What is the best way to get a SharePoint workflow to trigger the refresh of an XML datasource within an InDesign document, and generate a PDF export? The datasource would be hosted by SharePoint.
Would InDesign Server be required?

My understanding of the license is that Adobe requires you to use InDesign Server for this sort of thing.
But the implementation is probably the same either way. Periodically poll, or find some way to trigger it.

Indesign XML support frustration, my worst customer experience ever

Hi,
I have opened a paid for incident with Adobe, case # 182 433 774 , and am completely frustrated. I have spent 3 hours on the phone talking to people that have NO grasp on the english language, and no technical expertise. They say they don't know XML, but can help me. Days have gone by, and they claim that my problem has been escallated, yet they don't even have the details of the problem. This is clearly the worst tech support that I have ever encountered, even though we are talking about a $2,000 product. Isn't there any better tech support that I can buy?
Does anyone know what support options I have to resolve and XML issue? We are only able to render the first page of our XML driven catalog, then the job seems to complete without any complaint. We are using Indesign 5.0.

Well, you could ask your question here! I hate XML but I can probably help you.

InDesign-XML Exporting text that has been deleted

Hey,
After tagging my document in InDesign i deleted some text/pictures/tables. Now whenever i seem to export the same document to XML the old deleted text will export as well? Is there a way to stop this "ghost text" coming back in the export?
Thanks!!!!!

Yep--I read your first post too quickly.Sorry about that. Does the tagged structure show up in the structure pane? It should.
I cannot replicate the problem. Anything I delete in my tagged files do not get exported into the resulting XML whether it is recycling imported XML or creating it from scratch in ID.
Can you upload a sample to dropbox.com or another large document sharing site (that does not require membership) and provide a download link? If it is sensitive stuff, feel free to click on my name and email or private message me the download link. I would be happy to take a look.
Oh. You also don't indicate which ID version you are using. Which could be an issue as regards me looking at the file. I stopped upgrading with CS6. I do not think XML or data merging has changed since, well, before CS6, so functionally it shouldn't matter. But if you are using CC, you would need to save out as an IDML for CS6 in order for me to look at it.
