Need Adobe Plugin that creates a view like 'story editor' but with text formatting

We would ideally like a third view in InDesign (other than the layout and story editor views) that behaves like MS Word's 'Normal View' ie. a long 'roll' of text like the story editor (no page breaks viewable) but with the text retaining its formatting (like layout view). Ideally anchored images would also be visible. This feature would be very helpful for us when working on long documents such as books when both content and layout is done from within InDesign. Does anyone know if a Plug-in like this exists? If not, would it be difficult for an InDesign developer to create such a plugin?
Many thanks for your assistance! Heulwen

so odd, really. just because sometimes workflow separates copy writers and stylists -- sometimes -- it's one person.
so just to write a document - and edit it normally - you need to use two applications?
how does that make sense?
i understand making it *possible* to separate content and style -- but forcing everyone to do so -- even publishers of regular ole multi-page documents -- i mean -- why?
why does it make sense to force people into such a workflow -- where you cannot even edit your whole document?
oh -- but you can -- but you have to use a separate application?
how does that make sense?
weren't we able to do this in, what was it called: pagemaker?

  • How to create individual view (like MRP,Accounting..)for existing material

    Hi,
    I have a scenario as below:
    Suppose I created a Material using MM01 txn only entering data in 2 views i.e Basic data1 and Basic data2.
    Now my workflow triggers. I have done this using 'Create' event of BUS1001006 Object type.
    Now i need to send workitems to all those who are responsible to create rest views  like MRP,Accounting,Work scheduling etc..Workitem will take them to MM01 txn with Material No. and user will select the view which he has authorization and will enter the relevent data and save.For this i have used  'CreateView' method of BOR BUS1001006 but its not working properly.
    I hope you could understand the scenario.If need more clarity then please revert.
    Can anybody tell the solution please.It will be very helpful to me.
    Regards,
    Madhu

    I am passing the object also..but its not helping.
    I think Parameter 'ViewListLine'  of method 'CreateView' is not passing properly.
    Can you please give any solution where to get this parameter value.

  • How to create a view to display Multiple lines of Text using ABAP WebDynpro

    Hi,
    I need to create a static view page in ABAP WebDynpro that displays Static text data in multiple paragraphs.

    I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics.  When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document.  What happened, and how do I fix it?  I'm trying to upload the PDF version to Vistaprint.  Thanks.

    Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

  • I need to know how to put a photo in a box with text under photo, so they all will move in page

    I need to know how to put a photo in a box with text under it, so they move together in a page of text.

    The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
    From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
    Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
    The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
    Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
    Example:  Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
    This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
    Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
    Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
    Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
    Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.
    Be well...

  • What Acrobat SDK Technology I need to build a plugin that creates a new item to the Right-Click context menu?

    I want to develop a plugin for Adobe Reader that will be invoked through a new item in the Right-Click menu.
    What is the right SDK Technology to build this new item? Javascript, Interapplication Communication or a C/C++ plugin?
    I would feel more comfortable with JS or C#, but I don't know if I must use the C++ API to be able to build such level of integration.
    Thank you very much.

    Plugins are written in C/C++ and especially something such as adding to the UI.
    To add this to Acrobat, no license or fee is required - you can do it today with just the SDK and Acrobat.
    However, to build a plugin for Reader, you will need to obtain a license from Adobe.  Details are in the SDK under "Reader Integration Key License Agreement" (RIKLA).

  • Why can't I watch news video on ipad2? Says I need adobe and that is not supported on this device

    I subscribe to several news feeds and cannot watch the videos they post (fb). On the site I am tol I need adobe but my device does not support it. Why doesn't it and what can I do?

    Actually it is not Adobe refusing to build an ios version of Flash, it is Apple who has refused to work closely with Adobe to allow them to create a very efficient version.
    In Steve Job's own words he says "WE do not allow Flash on IOS..."
    Blackberry, who has been working with Adobe, and allowing them access to the resources they need in order to create a very efficient Flash player has done so with incredible success. Even the Register points out how insanely well the Flash player and Air enviroment runs on the playbook, and during their tests found zero effect on battery compared to using any other software on the device, which gets about 13 hours in battery life.
    Google, has also allowed Adobe access to the resources required to make an efficient player and have done so with incredible success, Android 3.1 and Flash 10.3 incorporated Hardware acceleration, the ability for flash to perform operations on the gpu, requiring far less energy. Many reports coming out have found the same situaton as they did with the blackberry, meaning Flash, when allowed access to the proper resources can be less resource intensive and less of a battery drain than any other software on the device.
    Windows, has been working with adobe and allowing them access to these resources for years, and you can see the difference in performance on a windows machine vs a mac.
    If Apple does not want to work with Adobe to allow the Flash runtime to perform up to its potential on their devices then that is fine. But understand it is Apple that is crippling the flash runtime and causing it to perform task in ways it is not designed to, and thus requiring more resources, and battery.
    Last year, when Steve Jobs released his open letter, I was up in the air about it. But now after seeing company after company manage to get the Flash runtime working and being super efficicient, I have no choice but to think that the only company having issues with it (Apple) must be doing so via thier own choice, and not due to the fault of adobe, or the efficiency of the platform.

  • Has anyone seen a Component that Creates a Transition Like This?

    Has anyone seen a Flash Component that creates a slide transition similar to this... http://www.silversea.com/
    Looks like there is a looping background image and the other slides are loaded above it (hopefully via XML?) and the transition effect maybe in a component???
    Thanks for any assistance!

    It looks like the black and white image for the transition sits atop the others and the transition involves masks being moved over that black and white image to reveal it and hide it.  The color imagery is switched out behind it.
    I believe this is a handcrafted piece, not involving any component, though it might be something one could buy as a ready-made product that accepts different imagery via xml.

  • Creating a view on KONA & KONH -  Failed with 'Field name DATAB not unique'

    Hi all,
        I am creating a view on KONA (Rebate Agreement) & KONH (Conditions Header) tables. The link is KONA-KNUMA = KONH-KNUMA_AG.
       The field 'DATAB' exists in both tables and I have included those two fields under 'View Fields' . When I tried to activate the View, it fails with 'Field name DATAB not unique'.
       The following is the complete error message:
    Message no. MC060
    Diagnosis
    When you define aggregates (views, lock objects or matchcode objects), you can assign the aggregate fields your own names (the system assigns names to the basic fields automatically). These names must be unique.
    System response
    The system has established that the names assigned to the aggregate fields in an aggregate definition are not unique and issues an error message.
    Procedure
    Assign unique names to the aggregate fields in question.
       Why I am not able to create the view after including a field that EXISTS in two tables, PLEASE ?
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

    Hi,
    you can include both fields (but what for??); most likely KNUMH will also complain after fixing DATAB (just a guess...).
    You can include both fields if you name them differently (different aliases):
    In the view fields tab, enter two different names in the column "view field".
    this will work.
    hope this helps...

  • Flex Plugin that calls Webservice works in Internet Explorer but not firefox

    I created a simple flex plugin that consumed a web service i
    built and was working with it locally. I uploaded the files to the
    server, and when i test the file out in internet explorer, the
    plugin loads great. However when firefox or any other browser
    attempts to load the same file i get "Http Request Error"? I've got
    a crossdomain.xml loaded up.. here it is:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
    SYSTEM "
    http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
    <cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
    </cross-domain-policy>
    Any ideas? Thanks. I should note that the webservice and the
    plugin are both on the same domain.

    I was playing around some more, when i yank the
    crossdomain.xml, both browsers display a security error, but when i
    put it back in, internet explorer is happy but firefox still spits
    out "Http Request Error"

  • Create user like ias_admin user but with less previlege in Oracle 10g AS

    Hi Friends,
    I am using Oracle 10g AS(10.1.2.0.2).
    I am using ias_admin user to admistrate it.
    Is it possible to create one more user like ias_admin but with less previleges like Read-only previlege and if so whats the procedure.
    Please suggest
    Regards,

    If you are talking about creating additional admin users for AS Control for Oracle Application Server 10gR2 (v10.1.2), than that's not possible. It does not support role based access administration. You can do it though with EM Grid Control and AS Control in Oracle Application Server 10gR3 (v10.1.3.x).

  • How to CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG (MV fast refresh) with some JOINS

    Hi @ all,
    i'm trying to create a MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG for a fast refresh of a MATERIALIZED VIEW.
    It works fine with a simple Request in the MATERIALIZED VIEW:
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MV_ZOTD43_P
    TABLESPACE GDII
    BUILD IMMEDIATE
    REFRESH FORCE AS
    SELECT * FROM ZOTD43_P;
    COMMIT;
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON ZOTD43_P
    TABLESPACE "GDII"
    WITH PRIMARY KEY, ROWID, SEQUENCE INCLUDING NEW VALUES;
    call DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('MV_ZOTD43_P', 'f');
    But when I use a complex SQL-Request with some JOINS (one of the Table with spatial Data) in the MATERIALIZED VIEW, I get an error:
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MV_TEST
    TABLESPACE GDII
    BUILD IMMEDIATE
    REFRESH FORCE AS
    SELECT lptd04_p.sst_nr AS sst_nr,
    lptd03_p.aaaa AS aaaa,
    lptd04_geom.geom as geom

    JOIN lptd03_p lptd03_p ON lptd03_p.lief_nr = lptd04_p.lief_nr;
    COMMIT;
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON LPTD04_P

    WITH PRIMARY KEY, ROWID, SEQUENCE INCLUDING NEW VALUES;
    call DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('MV_TEST', 'f');

    *Cause:    The materialized view log does not exist or cannot be used. PCT
    refresh is also not enabled on the materialized view
    *Action:   Use just REFRESH, which will reinstantiate the entire table.
    If a materialized view log exists and the form of the materialized
    view allows the use of a materialized view log or PCT refresh is
    possible after a given set of changes, REFRESH FAST will
    be available starting the next time the materialized view is
    refreshed.
    Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG when the MATERIALIZED VIEW got some JOINS?

  • View all slides in timeline with text holding for duration

    Hi,
    I have been a video editor for 30 years and this is my first time with Flash.  I'm trying to make simple 15 second Flash clips for an Infocaster digital signage system but cannot figure out how to put in the advertiser's phone #/website and keep it there for the duration of the three slide run.  Also am not able to bring in Photoshop-created files where I've made the white BG transparent in order to make better text.  How can I see all three timelines concurrently with the contact info field stretched under all?
    Peter B

    Hello,
    You seem to have two Adobe ID's? But you are the same Peter?
    OK, starting to understand. You really need Captivate to produce a SWF in a more easy way than with Flash. And you do not want to do it with Powerpoint (I'm not a PPT-lover either), which could be easily converted to a CP-file and then to SWF.
    You were showing sort of a timeline (have you video past in mind), but do know that you do not really have to put everything on one slide in Captivate. To know what is the most easy way, I'll  try to summarize in CP-language and have to ask some more questions:
    your 'movie' will have a total duration of 15 sec
    your 'movie' should start with Title 1, and image 1 in sec. 0:0; title 1 has to stay for 15sec, image 1 disappears after p.e. 5sec
    image 2 replaces image 1 after 5 seconds and stays for 5sec
    image 3 replaces image 2 after 10 seconds and stays for 5sec
    Title 2 appears after p.e. 2 sec, has to be visible for about 10sec
    Title 3 appears after 3sec, stays for 3 sec
    Title 4 replaces Title 3 when it ends and stays for 6 sec
    Title 5 replaces Title 4 when it ends and stays for 3 sec
    Created this on 1 slide, you'll find screenshot at the bottom (did use rectangles to replace images, workflow is same). Some tips:
    Go to Edit view (top toolbar), there is one slide selected in Filmstrip. Open Properties of the slide (Enter), set Display Time to 15sec
    If you do not want any fadings in/out, open Edit, Preferences, go to Project, Start and End, deactivate 'Fade in on First slide' and 'Fade out on last slides' (you'll only have 1 slide)
    Insert Title 1 (is called Text Caption in CP) with Insert, Standard Objects, Text Caption (or first icon on vertical toolbar at the left), format it as you wish and set it to display for the duration of the slide (on Options tab of Properties or with CTRL-E after closing Properties, with Title selected).
    Insert your first  image (I used a first rectangle) with Insert, Image. It will be selected, resize if necessary; open Properties (Enter, while it is selected), go to the Options tab, and under Timing, set it to display for 5 sec. Check the Transition effect and change if wanted.
    Insert second image, resize, open Properties, Options, under Timing set it to display after 5 sec and for 5 sec.You could also stretch the time on the Timeline and move the object on the timeline, that is a personal choice.
    Think you got the workflow by now? Here is a screenshot of the Options for Title 2:
    You can Preview the Project using F4 of F12 (to preview in Browser). Even though you only have 1 slide, do not use the Preview slide, because that way of viewing doesn't compile to a SWF.

  • Can I create slides automatically using a master slide with text placeholders if I have a database of the content?

    I'm using Keynote, and I have a presentation that is over 100 slides all identical to the master slide. There are several placeholder text elements, and I have a database of all the text elements.
    Is there any way to do a "merge" to create the slides automatically using the master slide template?

    Sure, you can build in and out as many text boxes as you like -- just add a new text box, put in the text, and set the build for it. Do be aware, however, that the timing you get will not be very precise.
    If you specifically want to present song lyrics synched to audio, you might find that there are better alternatives than Keynote. Brian Peat, who contributes here regularly, has a comprehensive list of song presentation software. This list may have a better option for you.
