Is is possible to open indesign from a script?
Is there any way to open indesign from within a script, or does the application already need to be running before a script can access it?
Thanks in advance.

In Applescript, when you compile the code, the app must be running. If it's not, then it will start.
When you run the script, InD doesn't have to be started first. You could have some Finder actions happen, then InD starts at the needed time when it's actions occur. You can have an if/then statement that only requests InD to do an action only if other circumstances are met. You do not even need to tell application InD to launch, just the first tell app statement will do it.
I do not know how things work in Javasc or VB.

Is it possible to open lunix from a usb on a imac os x 10.5.8? And if so, how can i do it?
I am not sure.
You are installing another completely different OS.
I think you need a separate partition on a hard drive to install this.
You maybe able to run Ubuntu in a virtual machine environment, within OS X, using something like VMWare Fusion, Parallels Desktop or the free, open source virtual machine called VirtualBox.
OR, you need to install this on either a fast reading/writing formatted USB 2.0/3.0 Flash drive or you need to purchase a fast external hard drive and install the OS on that drive.
You don't post the specs of your iMac.
If you decide to use an external hard drive depending on your iMac model, I would purchase a hard drive that connect, at least by FireWire 800. If a newer iMac, look into Thunderbolt connected hard drives or if you have a late 2012 or 2013 iMac, look at USB 3.0 connected external hard drives. -

HT4759 Is it possible to open icloud from any phone browser?
Nowadays our smart phones has replaced our PC. So is it possible to use iCloud from any phone browser, better than running to find a PC which's not always close by, to find or retrieve our lost/stolen device.
You can access your data on icloud using the various apps on an iOS device. There's no need to use a mobile browser to access icloud.com unless a friend is using your device to check his/her data - that's the one negative to the system.
As for a lost device, download the Find My iPhone app to your device. This is used on iOS to track devices. -
Indesign from Illustrator Script
I'd like to automatically open InDesign/InDesign script from an Illustrator script.
There would be some arrays with data that will be passed on to the InDesign script for processing.
I thought that involved #target indesign but that does not seem like what I need to do.
I may just export the values to a txt from Illustrator if there are a lot of bugs in this process and then run the other script manually from InDesign.
Javascript
CS6Then it seems like I'd like to go the export txt route.
That doesn't seem to be an option through scripting though you can manually do it??
myCSVFileName = "illustratorValues.csv";
myCSVFilePath = "~/desktop/"+ myCSVFileName;
myCSVFile = new File(myCSVFilePath);
myCSVFormat = ExportFormat.textType;
myDoc= app.activeDoc;
myDoc.exportFile(myCSVFile, myCSVFormat);
ExportType.JPEG
ExportType.PHOTOSHOP
ExportType.SVG
ExportType.PNG8
ExportType.PNG24
ExportType.GIF
ExportType.FLASH
ExportType.AUTOCAD
ExportType.TIFF
txt isn't an option like in indesign? -
hi,
I need to call transaction from cProjects to open Easy DMS.
I need the configuration settings.
Regards,
Reema.Hi Reema,
in fact it is possible to open EasyDM from cProjects. Therefore the R/3 document either has to be linked via 1) the tab "object links" or 2) the tab "SAP DMS".
The following settings are necessary for the 2 scenarios:
1) cProjects -> Connection to external systems -> Object links in SAP systems -> make settings for the linked SAP objects -> select 0DOCUMENT -> First doubleclick 0DOCUMENT and check if the RFC connection is correct then select -> Service for an object type -> There you have to add 0EASYDMS as an additional row.
Now if you link a R/3 document and press open on the right a pop-up appears with the option "Transaction URL" that opens EasyDM.
2) In -> Cross-application components -> document management -> control data -> define document types you have to add the object link DPR_OBJLNK (screen no 271) to the document type you want to link. Now in cProject in the tab SAP DMS you should be able to create a link to existing or new document (note that on this tab the DIR can´t contain originals - it´s just used as a container). Now in cProjects customizing you need to go to -> documents -> define object links for documents in DMS -> There you need to check if the RFC correction is correct and again at -> Service for an object type you need to add "0EASYDMS".
Now you should be able to create a SAP DMS container at the tab SAP DMS and with the open button you can start EasyDM and fill this container from EasyDM.
In addition if you link this folder with the project template the folder and all DMS documents below are copied on project creation.
If you use cProjects 4.0 and the link 0EASYDMS does not appear please check note 994803.
Best regards,

Possible to restart AE within a script?
Is it possible to restart AE from a script rather than simply quit it? I couldn't find any restart() method, so I thought something like this might work (at least for OSX):
APP_EXECUTABLE = new File(Folder.appPackage.parent);
app.quit();
APP_EXECUTABLE.execute();
Any pointers?
Thanks,
LazYou can't restart After Effects from an After Effects script. But you can start it from a batch/shell script, as with any other executable.

I use my Adobe programs from the Creative Cloud. When our design agency sends me files, I open them and fonts I have on my computer aren't showing up when I open the file. Everywhere online it says I need to add the fonts to InDesign's font file, but since I'm working out of the Creative Cloud, I don't have that option. How do I get InDesign to recognize these fonts when I'm opening files from our agency?
ID sees fonts installed on your computer and contained in a Document Fonts folder in the same folder as the document, if one exists.
I don't really understand what you are saying about fonts you have installed not showing up. And cloud makes no difference -- all the applications and support files are installed on your hard drive. -

Is it possible to have two versions of Muse on one Machine? WhenI open Muse from my program menu in WIndows 7 it comes up the way I am used to. I did an upgrade a week or so ago and now I have an Adobe Muse CC 2014 on my desktop. WhenI open the application that way the GUI interface looksw totally different, more like Illustrator. What is that all about?
Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
Thank you folks for any advice you can give,

Also you can select multiple regions and see the inthe SAME window if you select to show multiple regions, and you can have the notes shown in their respective track colors.
