Is there a script that can count 'How many points are used in an entire document and/or how many are used by placed graphics'?

My company is having issues with artwork being used in it's creative that contains extremely high points counts.  This causes issues downstream and we want to be proactive rather than reactive.

It's not possible (to the best of my knowledge) to access the points in
a PDF or EPS that are placed in InDesign.
However, an InDesign script could open the files in Illustrator (if Illy
can open those files), get it to count the points, and return the result
to InDesign via BridgeTalk.

  • HELP! I've created a template for event badges and have been instructed by the client to insert the (200 ) names and relevant companies into it...Is there a script that can do this in illustrator? Should I be using Indesign?

    An events client I'm working for have asked me to create a template for badges. Rather than ask the printers to insert the names and companies of the individuals present at the event though, they want me to create all of the pdf files for (200+) people!
    I have an excel sheet of the people that will be present. My question is: is there a way to automate this? to define editable areas in a template and run some sort of batch processing script?
    Thanks!

    This would be a perfect job for Data Merge in InDesign. You can place your AI design into InDesign (minus the text fields), and then easily create a merge.

  • Is there a script that can prevent videos to work?

    I have a template from template monster , and for some reason
    videos wont play in it , its like it totally ignores the video, so
    i was wondering if template monster put a script somewhere that
    disables video.
    Thanks

    I highly doubt that. I have seen several templates from
    template monster (from people sending me them in order to help
    them), and I have to say that those templates are crap. The code
    they use seems like it came from Flash 5. They are WAY over-coded
    and almost impossible to trace their logic in order to add or
    subtract elements from the template.
    Anyway, I'm sure the video not playing has something to do
    with your code and/or how you are applying it. Can you post
    something to look at (maybe yet another crappy template)...

  • Is there a technology that can trace and count a link ?

    Is there a technology that can trace and count a link ?
    For Example ,how can I trace links and calculate how many times have they been clicked in CNN News ?
    Or how can I calculate  which link  is the top link clicked by people all over the world ?  I need this .

    lovat wrote:BTW HOW  does google news select its news ? Don't they choose the most clicked ones ? There must be a method .At least  google can do this .
    First, there's no way to trace how many links are "clicked" world wide (maybe there's an ancient alien race which has the technology, but we haven't met them yet ).  You can do that for single web sites though.
    The following is very simplified because I think Google uses some complex algorithms to calculate the relevance/importance of certain pages and for example their appearance in the Google News, page rank, position in search queries etc:
    Google spiders the web and checks how pages link to each other by scanning the content of the spidered webpage. For example the more external pages link to a certain news item are found, the higher is its relevance. The "credibility" of these external sites probably has also an impact on how Google calculates the "relevance" of a site. For example if the New York Times links to an article, this link "weights" more than a link from any other random web page. I also believe that news sites are spidered way more often and in shorter intervals than the rest of the web to make services like Google News possible.

  • I want to know how to create a new script that can be run in batch proces in Photoshop Element 11 ?

    I want to know how to create a new script that can be run in batch proces in Photoshop Element 11 ?

    Have a look at the menu file/process multiple files. You can choose to add your signature (or the caption) to the image and export the new files.
    If that solution is not flexible enough, consider using the very affordable (12$)  Elements+ add-on which offers a 'meta stamp' script :
    http://elementsplus.net/v5/en/meta-stamp.htm
    Otherwise, have a look at other free and good solutions like Faststone Photoresizer, Xnview...

    thankS Supreme~

    Here's the script I use. Notice the complications getting the live area when other than rulers per spread is employed. The script automatically selects the final selection point in the story and moves to that page in the active window.

                                  && app.selection[0].parentStory.overflows) {
                        app.doScript(fixOverset, undefined, app.selection[0].parentStory, UndoModes.entireScript, "Fix Overset");
              } else {
                        alert("There must be a selection that identifies the overset story.");

  • Hello,  Is there a script that I can change all the colors of a layer in to 1 PMS color, unite every object and than give it an offset of -0,2 mm ?

    Hello,
    Is there a script that I can change all the colors of a layer in to 1 PMS color, unite every object and than give it an offset of -0,2 mm ?

    the offset has to be semi-automatic, apply an Offset Path Effect (by hand), create a Graphic Style out of it (by hand), then the script can apply this graphic style to objects.

  • A script that can be used to track text content changes in indesign?

    Is there a possibility a script that can be used to track text content changes in indesign. My Indesign software's version is CS3. As you can see below, I have deleted some texts and added some. I did it in another software.
    I have been searched for a long time. Because of my poor English, I still can't come up with any Object Model related to the script yet.
    Here is some idea of mine:
    Use the script tracking my revising texts. When I  add some new texts, the texts will be underlined. When I delete some texts, the position of the first character of the removed text will be added a small red triangle or something.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hidden dragon, what does that mean?

    Is IDML short for Indeisgn Markup Language?
    I think you are telling me that I can open the Indeisgn document by using the software InCopy. Then I have change some contents. InCopy will help me tracking the revision.

    Well... it's not actually an iTunes or even an Apple question is it? But you can use either Shazam or Soundhound.
    If you do a search for both of them, you will find the various options available to you, which include apps for portable devices and in the case of Shazam, a work-round that allows you to use an online option using your computer's microphone on either a PC or Mac.
    There may be other services as well, but I know these two.
    I do not receive any reward (financial or otherwise) as a result of mentioning either Shazam or Soundhound.
