[JS CS3] Preflight info through scripting

Hi!
Is it possible to generate the preflight information text from a javascript in InDesign CS3?
I know it's possible to generate the preflight text (file) by exporting a package (document.packageForPrint), but what about the separate "Preflight" command in the File menu? Is it not available from scripting?
Thanks,
AJ

Looking at the ESTK object model library, I can't find any lead for preflight command.
However, you may have at least 2 ways to explore.
1. Either use document.packageForPrint
Document.packageForPrint (to: File , copyingFonts:boolean, copyingLinkedGraphics:boolean, copyingProfiles:boolean, updatingGraphics:boolean, ignorePreflightErrors:boolean, creatingReport:boolean, versionComments:string, forceSave:boolean):boolean
So Document.packageForPrint (your filepath , false, false, copyingProfiles:false, updatingGraphics:false, ignorePreflightErrors:true, creatingReport:true, versionComments:false, forceSave:false);
then File(the generated indd filepath).remove();
So at the end, you only have the report.
Tricky I know but it can work.
2.Use the menu.invoke() concept. I am not skilled with that but the Indesign CS3 scripting guide details the procedure.
Good luck.

Can you set a layer to "Template" through script?

Hi there,
     I am creating a script to batch export multiple artboards as SVG, and setting a layer to "Template" will keep my unwanted paths from exporting. I am using Illustrator version 17.1.9(64bit)
Is there a way to set a layer to "template" through script?
Thanks!
Scott

You are correct on this, if I create a template Action let say called "template layer" I can call that with app.doScript("template layer", "folder"). After testing it does work... on my client where I have the Action, but I have a few other artist who will need to run this script.
EXAMPLE:
for (var i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.layers.length; i++)
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i] ;
    if(app.activeDocument.layers[i].visible == false){
        app.doScript ("template layer", "NI");
The only other solution I can think of is putting all non-exportable objects on a layer, and call that layer "nonExport" and select all objects on this layer delete them, then export, then undo this action ... ewwww... sounds messy.
Cheers,
Scott

Hide navigation pane of adobe reader through scripting

Hi.. I'm looking for a script to hide the navigation pane of the adobe reader through scripting, is there any way I can achieve that?
my main objective is to restrict user from attaching a file by using navigation pane because I'm already giving buttons to attach a file on the pdf and I want user to attach a file ONLY using buttons on the pdf. Can I achieve this by any other way?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you can hide all panes with this script in the docReady:event.
event.target.viewState = {overViewMode:1};

How to find out web content files linked in folio through scripting

Hi all,
Please suggest me, how to find out web content files linked in folio through scripting.
Regards,
Moorthy

@Moorthy – can you tell us a bit more? By mentioning "folio", I think you are referring to Adobe Digitial Publishing Suite (ADPS or short: DPS). If yes:
1. Do you want to analyze Folio files *.folio and get the linked web content files?
2. Or do you want to check an InDesign file with an overlay and check what files are linked as web content?
3. Or something else?
Where is your base problem?
Packaging the InDesign files and copy/relinking the web content files after the packaging process?

Not sure how you want to animate your chart but, in the example below the chart is created in code. I've instansiated a SeriesInterpolate class and set the showDataEffect of the series. This then aminates the chart when the data changes.

Turn off “Ask when opening” for profile mismatches and missing profiles

May be one of these will help…? Add to the event manager… You should really be looking at why this happens thou… Change to suit your settings name…
