Inserting QR Codes into InDesign document ??

Anyone know about inserting QR codes (those bar codes that are all over magazines these days) into InDesign?
Someone I know is going to get me a QR code for a magazine advertisement I'm creating. What is the standard format for this image I should get to place into InDesign?
Also, can I scale the image in InDesign? Or will that mess up the functionality of the QR code?
(I'm delivering the whole InDesign file as a PDF to the publication.)
Thanks in advance for any info!

The standard for QR codes comes from Denso Wave (Toyota), the creator of the QR standard.
From the Denso standard on their site:
The size of QR Code depends on a module size and a symbol version. The module refers to the black and white dots that make up the QR Code. The symbol version determines the data capacity.
The area of a Version 1 QR Code is made up of 21 modules per side. Each higher version number is made up of 4 additional modules. The highest version number is Version 40.
For example, a Version 2 QR Code would be composed of a 25 by 25 module matrix. If the module size is 0.5 mm (19.7 mils) square, the size of QR Code will be 12.5 mm (0.5") square. (QR Code requires a four module wide quiet zone around the symbol.)
Other than that, your size should be tested after output with something other than the latest smartphone, because a greater portion of people are using older technology that cannot focus very close. I've found that a QR code of .875" x .875" to be ideal for a basic URL without URL shortening, using a chunk of plastic trash called a blackberry. If your URL is superlong, your results mar vary.
The iPhone 4 however, can scan a QR code 1 molecule x 1 molecule wide, if your audience is demographically hip enough to own one, by all means go for that.

p.s. there are plenty of sites that will export you a nice clean vector EPS, so requesting a tif and converting it to a bitmap, while super fun, can be avoided by eps goodness.

How to insert Tab Pages into a document

I have a print job, where I need to insert tab pages into a document. Is there a tab template that I can insert into the Indesign document? If not, how can I create tab pages in Indesign?

When I used to do tabs I would set up a page that was as wide as the tab sheet including the tab, then add text frames in each tab position.

Insert JAVA3D CODE into a HTML PAGE

My java 3d code is working perfectly with javac and java command. I can see the result of my game in the appletviewer
But when I want to insert the code into a html page,it dosen t work
the java applet remain grey....
Can someone tell me why and someone can tell me how to solve it
Could you give me an example of HTML page using java 3D code with mulitple classes

I don't know Java3D, but I know a little applets. :)
Are you sure your browser understands the 3D API ?
applets work with AWT and JDK1.1, (it's your browser than run your applet and not your jdk 1.3 or 1.4), so peraphs you should download a plug-in to run Java3D in your browser ?
for example, if you want to use swing, you have to download a plug-in in your browser.
and another problem is that different browsers work differently with a same applet : for example, IE 6.0 don't run than IE 4.0 or Netscape 3.0
it's the internet's way of life... :)
Good luck,
David
PS : sorry for my english, I'm from Paris ! :)

Insert IPA symbols into Word document

Hi,
Does anyone know what is required to insert IPA symbols into a Word (v. X) document. The type of symbols I'm looking for can be found here, but I can't get them into my Word documents. I'm afraid I'm missing some special font or symbol library, but I have no idea which ones. Does anyone know what I might need to get symbols into my documents? Thanks very much.

The openoffice spreadsheets work and when I save them
as .xls files and open them in NeoOffice they still
work, but if I open them in Word v. X I get no
symbols. However, if I open the NeoOffice created
files in 2004 I have no problems whatsoever. So I
think for my local stuff I'll use NeoOffice, but I'll
have to get Word 2004 to interact with my co-workers.
There is nothing you can do to make this work with WordX, which is not compatible with Unicode IPA. Getting Word2004 will not help. If your co-workers only have WordX, then you have to also use WordX yourself and download the special non-Unicode fonts from SIL. WordX and Word2004 use two different standards for what codes generate what symbols. And the standard used by WordX is obsolete, or almost so.

Inserting a page into a document

I hate sections but whether I designate a Section or not, the program just goes ahead and does it. Then if I need to insert a page after the initial layout, and can't do it. Is there a work around here?

Whatever version of Pages you are using (you haven't said) does not create Sections, you do.
Sections do not make it impossible to insert extra pages or reorder existing pages.
A Section Break is an invisible character inserted into the document, dividing it into what it says; "sections" (chapters if you will).
A Section is a series of pages within a Word Processing document that share Headers and Footers, Layout and background images.
The Section can be dragged into a different order in the Thumbnails, but the pages within the section do not change. They move together, otherwise you would scramble your text.

Script for replacing Image from a frame into InDesign document file

Hi All,
I am having an indesign document (indd) file with images and texts. I am using InDesign Server CS4 to run the scripts via SOAP.
My requirement is to replace any of the images from the required frame/s of indesign document through scripting (I already have frame id of which image needs to be replaced). I have written written java-script file (as given below): but when I execute this java-script on InDesign Server via SOAP, I get follwoing error into InDesign Server:
10/03/09 15:15:54 INFO [javascript] Executing File: \\Server_IP_Address\JavaScript_File_Path\JavaScript_File.js

Following is the java-script that is being used for replacing image from indd's frame:

var objPage=myDocument.pages.item(i);
var objPageitems = objPage.pageItems;
try
var obj = objPageitems.itemByID(tmp_frmid);
obj.images[0].remove;
obj.appliedObjectStyle = null;
var myImage=obj.place(File('//Server_IP_Address/Images_to_be_reolaced_Path/ImageFile.jpg'));

myImage.geometricBounds = [obj.geometricBounds[0] + "mm", obj.geometricBounds[1] + "mm", obj.geometricBounds[2] + "mm", new_width + "mm"];
var diff = obj.geometricBounds[1] - myImage.geometricBounds[1];
myImage.move( undefined, [diff,0] );

app.documents.item(0).exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, previewFile);
myDocument.close();
I have very urgent requirement; if anyone have any idea; please suggest me. \
It would be highly appreciable.
Kind Regards,
Prashant.

Fluid grid for Wordpress: insert PHP code into DW or DW code into Wordpress?

This may be a stupid question but it's a dilemma for me. Here's the problem. I want to create a mobile first, fluid grid Wordpress website in Dreamweaver CS6 based on an existing Wordpress theme. I can see two ways of doing that:
1) Create a fluid grid layout in DW, then insert the Wordpress PHP code into the right places in DW
Pro: the fluid grid layout is set up by DW and therefore can be easily edited with DW (I imagine)
Con: It is beyond my coding skills to make a fully functional WP template
2) Take an existing responsive Wordpress template with media queries and edit that in Dreamweaver
Pro: I start with a fully functional WP template and only have to make changes (mostly in CSS) to customise it
Con: When I start with an existing template (like Skeleton) I run into trouble using DW
For example: I click a navigation button to get at the CSS but it's not clear to me from DW's interface in which media query I have to make changes. I did a tutorial on creating a fluid grid layout with DW so I can do that. But DW doesn't work the same way with an existing WP template like Skeleton. I searched the web but all I can find is help on creating a fluid layout with DW, not editing an existing one.
By the way, I am experienced with HTML/CSS but not PHP and I have a local Wordpress server running on my Mac so I can work in Dreamweaver's Live View.
The problem may be that I am only just starting with responsive web design and need some more experience with media queries, css rules and DW CS6. Could anyone comment on this problem or point me towards more information on the subject?
TIA!

You can certainly use DW to customize a 3rd party WP Theme. However, you must be throughly familliar with how WordPress Themes work and have a good working knowledge of HTML, CSS and PHP code. Design View will not be much help to you.
WP Themes are a sum of their various parts: header.php, footer,php, sidebar.php, page.php, index.php, archive.php, etc... The web server parses code from the various parts and creates whole pages on the fly. Once WP is deployed on your server, you cannot use DW to edit content. You must use the WP Admin Panel (CMS) to manage content, Themes, plugins and backup data.
For simple static sites, the FluidGrid Layout feature in DW is a nice starting point. But these layouts have definite limitations which, IMO would not be a good fit with WordPress.

Clipping Mask for placement into InDesign document

I have a drawing in Illustrator CS3.
I need to "place" certain sections of this drawing into an InDesign CS3 document using the File--->Place command. These sections will need a 1 pt black border when they get "placed" into InDesign.
Pretty sure Clipping Masks are the answer but I've never used them. Can someone tell me how to do this? Do I need to create new files from the Clipping Masks to pull this off?

multiple Clipping Masks on the same drawing
This would entail making a compound clipping mask with many "windows". You will need to give the mask a stroke afterwards
Just save your Illie file with pdf compatability an place it into InDesign in the usual way (Cmd+D).
Like this:
Left to right: Artwork, rectangles (compounded together), select both, Cmd+7 and add stroke

SMG file (Solidworks Composer) into Indesign Document

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to embed an SMG file into Indesign. I just took a Composer course, and we did it through Microsoft Word very easily through the developer tab and adding a Composer ActiveX contol. This then grabs the entire Composer file, animations and all, and placed it into the Word document, shown below:
My company currently uses Indesign for production guidebooks that show our production staff how to assemble parts on the floor. We are looking at going digital in the near future with these guides, and interactivity would be extremely useful. I have found this forum (Using SolidWorks Composer & InDesign? | SOLIDWORKS Forums) regarding a similar situation, but other than that I am at a loss after hours of trying. Composer has output options to HTML, but I can't seem to get that to embed either.
Please let me know if you need any more information. Please help!
-Becky

There is no 3D model format that will import directly into Indesign with the expectation of full interactivity. If you choose PDF as a format to distribute manual, then you can import U3D format into Acrobat to have a fully interactive model within the manual. But the 3D model won't go through Indesign. One note, Solidworks can export U3D format. If you choose other formats for the electronic manual, you could have some levels of interactivity with the model. You could rotate the view in SW, export into a image format, create as many views as necessary, then import images into Indesign using Folio Overlays or Object States to accomplish interactive aspect.

Integrating Screenshots into Indesign documents

Hi,I'm an fairly inexperienced indesign user,I'm trying to develop pdfs/e-books which will contain quite a few screenshots unfortunately when placing screenshot images into my documents I lose a lot of resolution and my screenshots end up looking rubbish,I've tried a number of approaches including the following
checking resolution is 300 ppi in photoshop and resizing accordingly
placingimages as .png, .pdf(browser screen capture)
set display to high quality (indesign prefs)
ifanyone has any advice as to what I'm doing incorrectly or could point me at a good resource I'd be delighted
Thanks
Carl

say I have to resize
There's no problem with resizing, which is what happens when you scale a capture in ID. It's resampling up or down (adding or subtracting pixels) that degrades a capture. The only instance where ID resamples is on export.
You can't get around the screen display quaility of captures. You might be careful to never allow resampling anywhere in the workflow, but when the captures are exported to PDF the appearance will be affected by the reader's magnification setting as the page is scaled up or down.

Inserting Script code into HTML - possibly using snippets?

I am using Robohelp 7 and I need to insert some tracking script code into the HTML.
The location needs to be right before the body close code.
I have multiple pages and would love to use a snippet so that it would be easy to update as necessary.
When I create the snippet code and drop it on the design page, it shows the code.
I cannot get it to drop into the HTML. Any suggestions?
If it can't be done with snippets, is there a way to mass import code into the HTML of ALL pages? I'm talking hundreds of pages.

Hi there
I doubt you will want to use snippets for this. Why? Well, if you use Snippets, you will need to edit all your pages so they include the snippet!
So here's how I might approach it.
Open the Project Set-up pod. Create a Topic Template. Inside the Template, add a Footer. Insert the script into the footer. Save the template and apply it to all your topics. You do this by selecting all topics in the Topic List pod, right-clicking them and choosing the Template. Whoosh! The template is associated and all topics now have a footer (with the script inside).
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Insert line numbers into a document, Insert line numbers into a document

Does anyone know how to insert line numbers into a pages document?

One of the crude, but easy, workarounds is to Insert a 1-column table (zero Header Rows), Floating, and Fill the column with ascending numbers. Position the column in your left margin and adjust the row height to match your line spacing. Things will line up better if your body text is styled with line height set to "Exactly". When you have the alignment satisfactorily close, click once on the border of the table to select the entire table and go to the Graphic Inspector and set Stroke to None. Then, while the table is still selected, Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master to get it to appear on following pages.
