Is there a script to make automatic footnotes?

Yeasterday my boss gave me a book to lay out.
I must do alphabetic index and over 1200 footnotes. If I imagine this proccess, it makes me sad
The first part of this job isn't hard, because I plan to use two brilliant scripts to make index: IndexBrutal and IndexMatic.
You can download them from this website http://marcautret.free.fr
But I need and plead for your help with footnotes. Is there a script to make automatic footnotes?
Or, maybe, you know the faster way to do this boring repeating of mouse cliks?????
Thanks a lot.

Depends on what you mean by "make" footnotes. What are you making them from? I used a script from http://www.adobescripts.com/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=9 once to convert thousands of endnotes back to into footnotes. And I'm sure there's a similar way to automate the process (either through scripting or a find/replace) if your footnotes are embedded in text but marked some way. For instance, if your footnotes look like this at the moment:
text more text footnote number comes next (22) text of footnote here end of footnote comes next\ more text following footnote
In this case, all footnote numbers show up between parentheses and all footnotes end with a backslash. If your footnotes are marked beginning and end in some similar fashion, then there's hope.

Is there a script to make specific attrubute changes to all layers in project?

Hello, and thank for your time!
I have a project that contains a lot of comps with a lot of shape layers in each.
Is there a way to make global changes to stroke size property of shape layers, for example from 0px to 1px?
Thanks.

This should work for you. Towards the very bottom is the code line that you can set for the width value. It will look like this a.property(i).setValue(1.0); //STROKE WIDTH VALUE
//START
var proj = app.project;
var comps = getAllProjectComps(proj);
for(var i=0; i<comps.length; i++){
          searchLayersAndChangeVal(comps[i]);
function getAllProjectComps(sourceFolder){
          try{
                     var itemAry, itemsInFolder, itemsInFolderLength;
                     itemAry = new Array();
                     itemsInFolder = sourceFolder.items;
                     itemsInFolderLength = itemsInFolder.length;
                     for(var i=1; i<=itemsInFolderLength; i++){
                               if(itemsInFolder[i] instanceof CompItem){
                                        itemAry[itemAry.length] = itemsInFolder[i];
                     return itemAry;
          }catch(err){alert("Error at line# " + err.line.toString() + "\r" + err.toString());}
function searchLayersAndChangeVal(compSource){
          var layerCollect = compSource.layers;
          var layerCollectLength = layerCollect.length;
          var curLayer, props, propsLength;
          var propObjAry = new Array();
          for(var l=1; l<=layerCollectLength; l++){
                    curLayer = layerCollect[l];
                    if(curLayer instanceof ShapeLayer){
                              getStrokeWidthAndChangeValue(curLayer);
function getStrokeWidthAndChangeValue(a){
          try{
                    var propLength = a.numProperties;
                    for(var i=1; i<=propLength; i++){
                              if(a.property(i).matchName == "ADBE Vector Stroke Width"){
                                        a.property(i).setValue(1.0);          //STROKE WIDTH VALUE
                              if(a.property(i).numProperties > 0){
                                        getStrokeWidthAndChangeValue(a.property(i));
          }catch(err){alert(err.line.toString() + "\r" + err.toString());}
//END

Is there a script to open an attachment within a PDF in a separate window?

I have a PDF with a button to open an attachment. I know that in my preferences I can set it always open in a separate window, but not all users know to do this. Is there a script to make this happen? I have a script to open links in a separate window, but not an attachment.

This can't be done with a script, but you can do it manually by going to
the link you created, editing the "Go to a page in another document" action
in it and then setting the "Open in" option to "New Window".
This can also be done with a stand-alone tool, but that is more
complicated, of course.

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.

Is there a way to make Apple TV move to the next video in a Vimeo playlist automatically?

Is there any way to make Apple TV play multiple Vimeo videos automatically, one after the next?
For any of you who have used a Google TV device, you know that this is the default behavior for internet videos (Vimeo included, obviously) there. It's the only thing that I miss after boxing that thing up to use my Apple TV full-time.
If there's not a way to do this, is there any hope of suggesting this behavior (and if so, who would I suggest that behavior to, Vimeo or Apple?)?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to make it automatically set the ouputs of new tracks to Bus 5? (or something other than Stereo Out?)

When I add a new track, it is automatically set to Stereo Out, is there a way to make it automatically set to Bus 5? I use a mix that sends everything through busses and every time I add a track it seems I have to adjust this.
Thanks

...and/or setup one or more tracks the way you want.. and then create/save a template and load that when you want to start a new project...
You can even have Logic (via it's Startup preferences) autoload that template every time you start a new project... by choosing your template as the default one.

HW acceleration (direct2d) causes problems for my site , is there a script to disable it automatically?

direct2d acceleration on FF4 causes really bad font rendering problems for my site.
Text goes on to of each other and behind pictures making it impossible to read for some parts. Disabling HW acceleration fixes the problem. Is there a script that I could use to disable it automatically for my site?

In fact updating my graphics was the cause of the problem. With the old drivers there were no problems. It depends on the system. So far I've tested on 6 Windows PC's. on 2 of them it worked fine. My site should be 100% W3C compliant. It works fine on 3.6, Chrome, IE and Opera

Is there a script available to make an alternate size layout of a book?

Hello:
I was referred to this forum from this thread: How can I export a pdf of an InDesign alternate layout from a book?
I have a book that is in a 6×9″ layout and I would like to make an alternate layout of the same content for 8.5×11 (and other formats). I found out that I cannot create an alternate layout in a book and export just the layout, without including both sizes; I have to create a whole new set of book files. Is there a script that can do this or at least do some of the heavy lifting? It will need to take the current 6x9" format and make it 8.5x11" and also adjust the text frames for the larger size pages.
Thanks for any help!
Kevin

Hi,

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro laptop I work mainly on the desktop but when i go away for work I take my laptop. Is there any way to make it automatically back up to mirror my desktop? Like when I update a file it updates on there too, if I install software it installs on there too etc?
When I first got the laptop I syned it to load with all the same software etc but it hasn't continued to sync
Thanks

I use
Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
and
Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.

Script to resume automatically when there is a disruption

In my PL/SQL script, I want to include the logic for the script to resume automatically when there is a power outage or any other kind of disruption.
The script is inserting huge data and I dont want it to restart from the point it started in case of a outage.
I know of resumable_timeout parameter in case of space issue. Anything else?
Please suggest.

There are PL/SQL stored code (in the form of packages, procedures and functions), and then there are PL/SQL anonymous blocks send by clients.
PL/SQL is not a scripting language. Do not treat it like one.
The script is inserting huge data and I dont want it to restart from the point it started in case of a outage.Quite simply actually. Let's say your processing code is done in procedure FooProc - and as good PL/SQL code does, it leaves the decision of when the end of the business transaction arrives, to the caller. In other words, the caller commits.
Now to create this restartable-process-in-case-of-a-power-failure-or-any-other-instance-failure, you write the following code:
declare
jobID number;
begin
DBMS_JOB.submit( jobID, 'begin FooProc; commit; end;', sysdate );
commit;
end;This starts a DBMS_JOB process. When there is an instance failure, the job process will be undone (rolled back). When the instance starts again, this job will be restarted.
Should the job complete before an instance failure, it will commit the processing of FooProc and the job will terminate and be removed from the job queue.
The only time that it will fail, is after 16 successive instance outages. If a job fails 16 times in succession, it is marked as a broken job. It remains in the job queue for investigation, but will not be executed again until marked as not broken.
And yes, this is the correct approach.. any other approach (like manual restart points) are extremely risky and typically how one should not do it.

Is there a way to make Mailbox automatically update as soon as you get new mail?

I just got an iPhone 4, and I noticed that my mailbox only updates when I open it, even if I received new mail since I last checked. Is there a way to make it automatically update when I get new mail in my inbox? There's sort of no point to alerting me when I get new mail if I'm already in the inbox.
I dunno if it matters, but my mail box is synced to a gmail account.
I also don't really know what my operating system is, but I guess it's iOS 6 since it's a new phone? I don't know how to check.

It depends on how you have mail checking your mail. You mention that you have a Gmail account. Did you set this up as an Exchange account to use Push? If you have mail set to only check manually, then that is what will happen, it will only update manually. If you have it set to one of the other time settings, it will update like that, as that will be the only time it will connect to the mail server, even with the application open.

I need an arrow or some sort of icon that points and moves to alert the website user to scroll down. Are there such widgets or is there a method to make an image move on its own. Also, how to get my muse webpage to automatically scroll down?

Thank you for your help, but I believe my questions remains unanswered -- mainly, because my English isn't the good.
Here's what I am asking:
1. I need something that is animated that blinks or flashes to alert the viewer to scroll down the page. I would put the wording: Scroll Down for more (and then an arrow blinks or gently moves up and down to alert the user to move down).
2. is there a way that the entire homepage on it's own moves downward?
Sorry for my poor English.

Is there a script to automate NBAR Protocal pack download from CCO

is there a script to automate NBAR Protocal pack download from CCO ?

I do not know of one. It may be challenging to build one, too. While there is an HTTP API built into EEM Tcl, it supports HTTP only. I believe accessing the NBAR protocol packs would require HTTPS? If it can be done with a clear text protocol like HTTP or FTP, we could build a script to automate the process.

Thanks Guys! StartupSound was exactly what I wanted. Perfect. It works just great. There is something reassuring about a Mac's startup sound that I couldn't just mute it, so to be able to keep it at a soothing level no matter what the volume is is perfect. Thanks again. P.S. My neighbors thank you, too!
