[JS][CS5] Storing a variable in the document label

HI.
I need to store the ID number of an item into the document label.
I have tried:
myLabelString = new String(myDoc.allPageItems[n].id)
myDoc.label=myLabelString;
But got the error
Result: Error: Invalid value for set property 'label'. Expected String, but received function data.
I can add the ID number by:
myDoc.label="713";
but I need this to be a variable.
I have seen some posts using the function 'insertLabel' passing value and key. What is the 'Key' in this?
Any ideas?
Cheers
Roy

Thanks heaps.
I have to pass the id number as a string though:
app.activeDocument.insertLabel('BackgroundID', (myDoc.allPageItems[n].id).toString());
but thats OK
Thanks again!
Roy

Exporting CS5 file to PDF causes the document size to enlarge on PDF!

I need help... FAST! I have a 14-page 4CP calendar that bleeds on three sides. The bleed size is 3/16", per the printer's requirements. When I export the file from InDesign to PDF, the overall page size is increased by exactly 3/16"! I nearly missed this and approved the job for printing. Luckily, I turned on the rulers in the PDF file to double-check all the page elements were properly placed and wouldn't fall on the fold. That's when I discovered that objects that I had placed on a page were extending into the fold and onto the next page. I went back to my InDesign file and found that those elements were properly placed and did not extend into the fold as they were doing in the PDF file. I tried different PPDs, exporting the file with and without printer's marks... all to no avail. I finally printed the file to a Postscript (PS) file and then exported that file to PDF and got it to work. However, I would prefer to avoid that extra step. What is going on? Why is the file enlarging (coincidentally the EXACT same amount that the bleed was set for) and/or what am I doing wrong? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Are you familiar with bleeds etc? i.e. have you used them before? It sounds to me as if you're doing everything mostly right but not realising that Acrobat and Reader (please don't mention Mac Preview) show the size including the bleeds when you choose those options upon export from Indesign.
Go back and check your document setup. Page size should be excatly just that, finished page size. Bleed settings (you might have to tick more options to see them) should be also just that. Export the PDF, go to 'Marks and bleeds' tick 'Use Document bleed settings' and you're done. The document will appear bigger.
oh and use the camera button for screenshots.
You can see the actual size of the doc by going Advanced > Print Production > Crop Pages and toggling between TrimBox (the size the page will get trimmed to) and CropBox (which includes the bleeds and is what displays).

Where is stored the Folder label registry location?

When I put a red label on a File that has xmp metadata, I can retrieve these values later and this will be stored in the file or in a side-car xmp file.
But Folder can't have xmp.
In this case, where is stored this info about the color label of a Folder? Only in cache? Is there a hidden file ( like, for example ".Bridgesort" hidden file for manually sorted items)
I noticed that I I label a folder in a common accessed network from computer A, I can retrieve that value from another computer B by rebuilding the cache parent folder of the labeled folder.
It can't be the file C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6\Cache\data\store because it is inacessible from other computers on network.
So is must be some hidden file on the same directory of the labeled folder.

Found it.
Its an hidden xml File created from Bridge when I use labels or ratings on children folders.
It is called ".BridgeLabelsAndRatings"
to get it from bridge, just try to use this
Folder([myPath]).getFiles("*.BridgeLabelsAndRatings"); // the name works like a long extension file (the dot in the beginning is important)
and this is an example.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<bridgedata version='1'>
<labels version='1'>
<item key='_d_10772009' label='Select'/>
</labels>
<ratings version='1'>
<item key='_d_10772012' rating='1'/>
</ratings>
</bridgedata>
This is updated from others computer over the same local folder network only when cache folder is recreated.

How to set the document language based on the contents of a text variable?

In my Indesign documents, I use a text variable in which I type the abbreviation of the document language according ISO639-1 (e.g. EN, DE, ES, ...). I'd like to have a JavaScript that checks this text variable every time the document is opened and then sets the Language property of my Normal paragraph style, but I don't have any experience with JavaScript.
Can someone help me please?
PS: I use InDesign CS5.5.

Hi Todd,
I believe ES4 sp1 allows you to do this, but I don't have that version so aren't sure. I follow the steps described in this blog, LiveCycle Blog: Gesperrte PDF-Eigenschaften in XFA-Formularen ändern//Edit locked PDF properties in XFA forms seems very hacky but does work (the English version comes after the German).

How can I get INSTID_B for the documents which are stored using Store Business Document functionality

Dear experts,
I had activated the functionality of Store Business document and successfully stored documents in external server.
My client have a custom function module which is used to send emails.In that FM they used SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1, SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 function modules.They passed Instance Ident(SRGBTBREL->INSTID_B)(eg: FOL33000000000004EXT39000000000026) as export parameter to the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' and get the attachment details and content.
Here my problem is I do not have entries in the table SRGBTBREL for the documents which are stored using the Store Business Document functionality and without INSTID_B I am unable to use the FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' to get the document details and content. Please help me to find INSTID_B for documents which are stored using Store Business Document functionality or please let me know if there is any other way to use FM 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1' for documents which are stored using Store Business Document.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kiran,
You can use the following method to get the information. For example if you want to get BO documents for a customer
CALL METHOD cl_binary_relation=>read_links
   EXPORTING
     is_object           = ls_lpor
     it_relation_options = lt_relat
   IMPORTING
     et_links            = lt_links.
then fill ls_por-instid with a customer number (KUNNR), ls_por-typeid = 'KNA1' and ls_por-catid = 'BO'.
Table lt_relat should contain a line option for each document type (for example 'I' 'EQ' 'NOTE', 'I' EQ 'ATTA', 'I' EQ 'URL', ...
In table lt_links you will get your information.
Maybe some other methods of class CL_BINARY_RELATION may also solve your issue.

Klaus

Getting the document content in a variable??

Hi,
How can I get the entire contents of a document into a string variable? I donot
want to print the contents inline but rather have to get them in a variable. Using
printDoc or printProperty tag?? I guess I will have to use printDoc but then how
can I stop the contents from being displayed in the jsp and how can I put them
in a variable??
Please help me...
Thanx.

You should always double-check code put on the newsgroups, even if it's
put there by me :)
It probably should be at the beginning:
<es:forEachInArray array="<%=docs%>" id="adoc"
type="com.bea.p13n.content.document.Document">
<%
     byte[] bytes = adoc.getContentBlock(0L, -1L);
Notice 'byte[]' instead of 'bytes[]', the type specified as Document
(Content doesn't have the getContentBlock() method, the sub-interface
Document does), and the 'L's on the numbers to specify that they are
longs to help the compiler find the correct method.

Gregory Smith <[email protected]> wrote:
You will need to call the getContentBlock() method on the Document
object to retrieve the bytes of the document's content. Then, you do
whatever you need to with the bytes. When converting it to a String,
you
should be aware of double-byte-character encodings, and should check
the
Document's encoding metadata attribute, e.g.:
<%
bytes[] bytes = doc.getContentBlock(0, -1); // retrieve all the content
String enc = doc.getPropertyAsString(null, "encoding");
String str = null;
if (enc != null)
str = new String(bytes, 0, bytes.length, enc);
else // use VM default encoding
str = new String(bytes);
%>
In 8.1, the new <cm:getProperty> is able to retrieve the BinaryValue
of
a binary property of a Node.

SharePoint 2013 - Document Set Capture Version History. Does each version captured for each document set keep a copy of all the document stored in the document set?

Hi All,
We have currently encountered an issue where even though version control is turned on in a document library, changes made to the metadata of a document set is not tracked in a version history.
We have found that in order to this a user will need to manually click on the capture version history button.
With this in mind, we are concerned about the impact of this on our storage. The question we have been trying to answer is whether each document set version:
stores the change in metadata of the document set and a copy of all the documents stored in the document set
stores the change in metadata of the document set and a reference to the documents stored in the document set (making use of SharePoint 2013's shredded storage)
The reason we ask this is that if a document set version stores a copy of all the document stored in a document set, a change in one of the fields in the document set could result in the storage used to grow exponentially. e.g. if the document set contains
documents totaling 30MB, and if we have 10 versions of the document set, we could take up 300 MB in the content database for just one document set.
We have tried to some searching around Google but wasn't able to find any answers around this question. Would appreciate some assistance from anyone who has knowledge around how document set version history works.
Thanks in advance.
John

i had a long thing written out, but submit failed. suffice to say it does "2". it only stores the changes with pointers to the documents.

Create Attachment issue in storing the document

We are facing an issue in tranaction PR05 (Travel Expense Manager) on services object for Create Attachment. We would like to know is there anyway/manage to find any setting so that the u201CCreate Attachmentu201D would result in storing the document on the content server like the u201CStore Business Documentu201D does.
Please advise and confirm.
Thanks & regards
AK

I try to answer based on my understanding.
If you want to store the document in the server when attaching the document in Services for object, it can be done.
You have to define the directory in the server where the documents are to be stored. Also you need to define a naming convention for all the files which need to be stored in the directory.
Then you have to programatically enable the services for object to store the files in the directory created for that purpose. Also on clicking, you should programatically enable the document fetching from the directory by making use of the naming convention.

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings

then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer

you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

CS5 - Standard Screen Mode - Hand Tool don't move the document

Hi all
In PS CS5 -> Standard Screen Mode -> Hand Tool don't move the document unless you zoom the document so it became bigger than the working area!
Is it possible to use the hand tool (move the document arround) while the document is smaller than the working area?
Thanks

Why not just shrink the window border and move the Window around to where you want it, as has been described above several times?
because that will make the working area much smaller. You'll be able to move the Window around, but if you zoom in, you will lose working area and you'll have to use the scrolls.
Maybe it would help to describe WHY you want to move the image within the window/tab?
There are many reasons for that and I don't have the time to describe all of them right now. I'll give you just one: if you paste an object that is bigger than the document size and you want to transform the object (scale down for example) - you press Ctrl+T and the top, bottom and middle right points are no visible (they are outside the area). Then you have 2 options if you want to scale down:
1) scale the image with the left side point, and then move the image back to the document
2) zoom in the document -> so it became bigger than the working area -> so you can move it with the Hand tool (spacebar) -> so you can see the right points -> so you can transform the object -> and then you zoom out again
both ways are just very slow
if you can move the document inside the working area (inside the window) then you can perform the task much quicker:
move it with the Hand tool (spacebar) -> grab some of the right point and transform as simple as that. And you still can see all of your document, and you can still reach the right points
this is just one example, I can tell you more

Why is Indesign CS5.5 Sooooo Slow When it Goes to Deeeper of the Document

Hi all,
I've got a question recently in using Indesign CS5.5 on a MacbookPro with i7 processor, 8GB RAM and MacOS LION 10.7.2. The interaction turns to be extremely slow when I go deeper of the document. The response is quick at the beginning of the document, but when I turn to 15 pages or later, it takes several seconds to change font and adjust the text frame. I have almost tried all the solutions including readjust the virtual memory or shut down other applications while editing my Indesign file, but it just keeps performing this way.
Is there anyone who has the same problem with me? I hope I can get some useful suggestions from you guys. Thanks!

The blog post below lists several reasons why InDesign can be slow:
