May 3 InDesign SDK Workshop in Seattle: Enrollment about to close

Registration for InDesign SDK Dev Workshop in @CSBU Dev Summit in Seattle officially closes April 16. We still have spots available, but late enrollment causes us some logistical hassles.
We might or might not accept latecomers, and there might be an administration fee.
Learning to program the InDesign SDK can easily take between two to six months of non-productive time.
Kris Coppieters will return with his acclaimed one-day workshop that will slash the time it takes to get up to speed. This class is run in conjunction with the Developer Summit - there is an additional cost, and registration is handled separately from the Adobe Developer Summit.

InDesign SDK Theory - REGISTER_PMINTERFACE

I have another of my "theory behind the SDK" questions.
Today I was playing around. I created a pure virtual class looking something like this:
    class IMyClass: public IPMUnknown{}
I then added the following defines to the project header:
    DECLARE_PMID(kClassIDSpace,                  kMyClassBoss,                kMYCPrefix + 3)
    DECLARE_PMID(kInterfaceIDSpace,            IID_IMyClass,                  kMYCPrefix + 0)
    DECLARE_PMID(kImplementationIDSpace, kMyClassImpl,                kMYCPrefix + 0)
    DECLARE_PMID(kActionIDSpace,                kMyClassAboutActionID, kMYCPrefix + 0)
I then created the actual implementation of the class derived from the pure virtual class:
    class MyClass : public IMyClass {}
I also included this in the implementation:
     CREATE_PMINTERFACE(MyClass, kMyClassImpl);
Finally, in MyClassFactoryList.h I did this:
     REGISTER_PMINTERFACE(TheClass, kMyClassImpl);   // Note the value of the first argument.
And in the calling plugin I included this line:
InterfacePtr<IMyClass> iMyClass(static_cast<IMyClass *>(CreateObject(kMyClassBoss, IMyClass::kDefaultIID)));
All of the above worked without a hitch. Both plugins performed flawlessly.
I then changed TheClass in REGISTER_PMINTERFACE to AbraCadabra just for the fun of it. I chose that string because it was as far from MyClass as I could make it. I cleaned, compiled and linked, and ran. Once again, the plugins worked flawlessly.
I have always thought that in REGISTER_PMINTERFACE() the first argument should always be the name of the class derived from the pure virtual class, that is, in the above example, MyClass. What is the code really doing there? Is there any special reason why it worked whne I used something different from MyClass, or am I correct in assuming that the first argument in the REGISTER macro does not matter, or maybe that it's just a placeholder?
I am writing up documentation for using the SDK in my workplace so it would be nice if I heard from those of you who are more fluent in the SDK and the theory behind it.
If you would rather reply directly instead of cluttering up the forum, my direct email address is John dot Darnell at Walsworth dot com.
TIA!

Indesign SDK colorspace reporting

Hello forum members,
I am writing a vb.net app using the Indesign SDK to create a new PDF file. In this file is most likely text of varying color and a number of images that may be jpeg or pdf place into the Indesign document. Is there a way for me to tell the number of colorspaces in the resultant document? Sort of like PDF preflight, which would tell me all the colorspaces in the file? Even if I have to check the colorspace of the image file after I add it to the document, I could run an array of the colorspace and I would already know the color of the text I am adding myself. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi! Adobe seems to be very slow in granting access. After I had waited more than a week to be granted access i just tweeted to this guy: https://twitter.com/timothyspencer who seems to be a product manager for the InDesign SDK as he promised me to grant me access and voila i had it 2 days later. Maybe you should try the same.

How to create table of contents in c# using indesign SDK CS5?

Hi,
Currently I am using adobe indesign SDK to implement a sample application. Here I need to write C# code to generate tabel of contents in a indesign page. Since I am new to indesign sdk, so I need help from you guys.
Please send me some sample code to generate table of contents or any helpful link, which can help me in development.
Thanks
Chandra Prakash

Please read the forum overview message.

In other words, C# is a scripting language. It has nothing to do with the SDK.
Post scripting questions to the scripting forum.

How to access third party plugin (inmath styles) in indesign SDK

Hi All,
I would like to know that how can we access third party plugins like inmath styles in indesign SDK using VC++. And also I got C++ header file from the third party to interface their style into indesign. Please help me how can we do that.
Thanks
Saravanan Rethinam

You have the header file from inmath. It must contains something like this:
#define kTPPrefixNumber 0x89ABC      // Prefix number of the plug-in issued by Adobe
DECLARE_PMID(kInterfaceIDSpace, IID_ITHIRDPARTY, kTPPrefixNumber + 12)   //
class IThirdParty : public IPMUnknown
     public:
     enum { kDefaultIID = IID_ITHIRDPARTY };
     virtual bool16 IsThirdPartyEnabled() =0;
To use it in your code obtain an interface to object. You need to know where to look for it. Here is an example where it is on the Application boss:
#include "../ThirdParty.h"
InterfacePtr<IApplication> theApp(gSession->QueryApplication());
InterfacePtr< IThirdParty > iThirdParty(theApp, UseDefaultIID());
if (iThirdParty != nil) {
     // Safe to call functions on the Interface ...
     if (iThirdParty-> IsThirdPartyEnabled()) {

Is InDesign SDK (CS4) cross platform

Hi
I am newbie to Adobe SDK and had a quick question.
I remember reading in some documentation that Adobe SDK CS4 is "almost" cross platform. I am wondering if anyone here has experience with both windows and mac development to mention if that is the case or if there is some big differences. Also I am wondering if to use InDesign SDK on Mac would I need to use objective C or would C++ work fine. Is using the SDK on Mac as simple as simplying copying the C++ files from windows and doing minor tweaks to them to compile?
thanks
Sam

Hi
Your source is the same for Windows and MAC
The only difference is the compiler.
Meaning if you are using source control, you can check out the same source om both Windows and Mac
When dealing with files and Strings there are functions that only exist on Windows and some only on MAC
But it's pretty straight forward....
Of cource you have to download the SDK for both platforms

Extended Link sample in Windows InDesign SDK 5.5

Hi,
I am a newbie of InDesign Plug-in Development and have just gone through
the "Chapter 2 - Getting Started with the InDesign SDK" of
"<SDK>\docs\getting-started.pdf" in Visual Studio 2008 with InDesign 5.5.
(Windows version: Microsoft 7 Professional 32-bit (Trad. Chinese))
In trying another sample "ExtendedLink / ExtendedLinkUI", I can also successfully
compiled these sample projects but fail to try them in InDesign 5.5.
I have followed exactly the "MySQL Setup Guide" topic in "<SDK>\docs\reference\index.chm"
in my development machine and have checked the database records are valid and the ODBC
connection is successful. ( MySQL Server version: 5.5.14, MySQL ODBC version: 5.1.8 )
According to "ExtendedLink" topic in "<SDK>\docs\reference\index.chm", in step 4 of
"To use ExtendedLinkUI to place an asset......", the instruction is: "Fill in the fields for Authority
and Table Name......". I put "mysql" in the field of Authority Name but cannot find the field of
"Table Name". (Another field name is "Shared Folder" which I think do not relate with "Table Name")
This makes me found nothing by following Step 6 and Step 8 and fail to try the sample.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Loading the TOC style gave me the fonts I wanted, but not the dots & the page numbers that were in the doc from which I loaded the styles. My TOC has no page numbers now, but I do like the font.
Is there a trick to getting the page number display with the dots to show up?

Indesign SDK License for using COM

Hi,
I am developing .net application for creating PDF document from adobe indesign file using Adobe indesign COM object. Since i am using COM object, the adobe indesign SDK needed for this development. Please suggest me which product of adobe indesign i need to purchase?
For reference please refer below link.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/Adobe_s_Indesign_COM_obje.aspx.
Regards
Raja

COM is just the Windows way to expose the "high level" object model aka scripting. You make sure InDesign creates a TLB, add that to your VisualStudio and are ready to experience the advantages adventures of .Net strong typing. Details are better discussed in the scripting forum, e.g. where to find the TLB and what to do if it is missing (start InDesign once as admin).
Edit / Addition: InDesign SDK has almost nothing to do with COM, it is used to write plug-ins (in C++).
The question whether an InDesign Desktop license is sufficient or you need InDesign Server is better answered by someone who can read the legalese of the matching EULAs. I am not a lawyer, but if the resulting outside application (be it written in .Net or other technology) is just used by a single user to control a single instance of InDesign on the same PC, to me that sounds like a case for InDesign Desktop.

Ffox help says "To close a tab, just click its close button." I did this. But still got the message about to close 5 tabs. I could close one tab at a time, in the past but now can't. How do I close just one tab?

WTF? you ask for details then tell me I have exceeded the 255 character limit. Clicking on links in an email I wound up with 5 open tabs. Tried to close the last tab opened. I got pop-up warning I was about to close 5 tabs.

ya I'm aware of the shortcut keys. Been using a mac since they came out. She is used to interaction with the mouse, hence the specific question as to where the X has gone.

Before updating to FF 4.0, when I close, it warned me that I was about to close multiple tabs IT ALSO gave me the choice to save all open tabs (not bookmark) so they would all open once I opened FF again. Where is it???

When I close - it does still tell me that I am about to close multiple tabs... but it no longer gives me the option to save open tabs, NOT bookmark, SAVE open tabs. That way, the next time I open Mozilla, all the open tabs from my previous session would open once again. 'Save Open Tabs' is GONE - it would be very helpful to have it back. I don't use it all the time, but it was much easier to save open tabs when I wasn't able to finish what I was doing instead of having to search through the previous days history to find what I need when I start my next session!!!

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
