Need to hide running heads in placed PDF

I’m trying to reformat the PDF of a book for a client that was set up the wrong size to print. If I could remove the running heads from each page then I could get the PDF into a new ID document that’s set up to the proper trim size. I tried cropping the pages in the PDF, but that just hides the part that’s cropped out. The full page shows up when placed in ID. So then I pulled down the top of each frame in ID so that the running heads were no longer visible. I exported this to PDF and it looks good. I know the running heads are still there, just not visible. I’m concerned that they might show up when the book is printed. Can I assume that if something is hidden on the PDF page it won’t print?

That script probably honors the last used choice for a placed pdf so placing once, enabling Show Options, and selecting trim or crop would be honored by the script.

Move[x,y] placed pdf

Hi All,
My document have 300 spreads. I have placed pdf through script in the required template.
I need to move verso [left page] placed pdf by x-52, y-30 and recto [right page] placed pdf by x250, y-35 from page ruler origin.
Is any body please provide me the JS code which can move my verso [left page] and recto [right page] rectangles accordingly?
Thanks!
Mon

Assuming you have a reference to the pdf's containing frame (because that's what you need to move):
myPage = myPDFframe.parentPage;
moveAmount = myPage.side == PageSideOptions.leftHand ? [52, 30] : [250, 35];
myPDFframe.move(moveAmount);

Getting the offset of a placed PDF within the container rectangle

I need to get the offset of a placed PDF inside of the container rectangle. I have figured out that this information should be available in the transformationMatrix of the placed file. So I do something like:
var pdfTransform = pdf.transformValuesOf(CoordinateSpaces.pasteboardCoordinates)[0];
var horzTranslation = pdfTransform.horizontalTranslation;
var vertTranslation = pdfTransform.verticalTranslation;
but the coordinates I get back are just weird. The horizontal value seems reasonable, but the vertical is way off what I expect.
There may be some precondition to doing this that I'm missing. Running the pageitems/TransformValuesOf.jsx sample from the Scripting Guide also gives weird values. That sample creates a rectangle with a center point of [0, 0] and then retrieves the transform. I would expect the translation to be [0, 0] but I actually get [5, -415.95] (horz, vert).
In that sample it talks about ruler coordinates, so I tried setting document.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin to different values, but that does nothing.
I'm stumped. Can someone please give me a hint on what's going on here?

Thanks Peter.
Some more info: I basically want to get the coordinates of the objects in a placed file in the coordinate space of the containing document. As an extra twist, the placed file is a PDF created from an InDesign document. So, I first extract the coordinates from that InDesign file, then the coordinates for the document that contains the placed PDF, and finally I merge the coordinates of the two documents as if all the objects were contained in a single document. This workflow is then used outside of InDesign to draw frames around all the object boxes on a JPEG created from the document containing the placed PDF.
Anyhow, to answer my own original question, this seems to work thus far:
rectOffset = containingRect.resolve(AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR, CoordinateSpaces.PASTEBOARD_COORDINATES)[0];
pdfOffset = pdf.resolve(AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR, CoordinateSpaces.PASTEBOARD_COORDINATES)[0];
horzTranslation = rectOffset[0] - pdfOffset[0];
vertTranslation = rectOffset[1] - pdfOffset[1];
That gives the same values as I can see in InDesign when selecting the placed PDF. So far so good ...
BUT, that is not enough! When placing a PDF using the default option of Crop to Bounding Box, I sometimes get a bit of extra margin (different for different documents) that offsets the translation values. I have no idea where this margin comes from but I need to compensate for it.
Please help! And let me know if this description is unclear so I can try to explain better.

How to access a placed PDF inside a rectangle and move it around

Hi, I have the following code which places a PDF inside a rectangle var f = new File("C:/pdf.pdf"); var doc = app.activeDocument; var thepdf =doc.pages[0].rectangles[0].place(f, false); doc.pages[0].rectangles[0].fit(FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY); Now I want to move "thepdf" (which is of object type PDF) but I can only find a way to move the rectangle around it. I need to move the inner rectangle (the PDF), like I would do with the Direct selection tool. is this possible?

Yes. That's possible.
The PDF placed inside the rectangle is the graphics[0] object of the rectangle.
Or, if you look it up in the links collection, the parent of that link. The parent of that parent is the container object, the rectangle.
myRectangle.graphics[0].move(/*insert your arguments here*/)
Would move the PDF inside. Where the move() method could have different arguments:
Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: Graphic

I'm trying to create a running header to pick up one of two paragraph styles...

I have a Header_1 and a Header_11 paragraph style. I need the running header to pick up either instance of those; as it stands, InDesign can only pick up one style at a time...

You have to define a running header based on a character style and apply
the char style to your titles.
Alternatively, you could create 2 master pages with two different
paragraph-based running header text variables.

Need help - Hide row of a recursive grouping if textbox value is empty

Hard to explain, but I will do my best.
I have a simple report that has a resource (accounting) recursive grouping. The group and the recursion is working correctly. The only dollar values I have to display are at the lowest level of the hierarchy so instead of having a simple SUM("POSTED_TOTAL_AMT")
field to show the rollup totals I did the following =Sum(Fields!POSTED_TOTAL_AMT.Value, "TREE_NODE", Recursive).
TREE NODE
POSTED TOTAL AMT
ALL_RESOURCES

Everything I have read shows you how to hide a row based on a dataset field but I need to hide the row based on the textbox expression. For reference here is the expression for the values showing on the report: =Sum(Fields!POSTED_TOTAL_AMT.Value, "TREE_NODE",
Recursive)
I added this into the row visibility: =iif(IsNothing(Fields!POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2.Value),True,False)
But when I run the report I get the following error:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The Hidden expression for the grouping ‘TREE_NODE’ refers to the field ‘POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the
specified dataset scope. Letters in the names of fields must use the correct case.

Hi BlackHills_SD,
According to your description, when you use the iif expression to set visibility of the row, you got the error message.
When we write expressions, we will find that the term scope is used in multiple contexts. Scope can specify the data to use for evaluating an expression, the set of text boxes on a rendered page, the set of report items that can be shown or hidden based
on a toggle. It seems that POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2 is not in the same dataset as TREE_NODE. We can refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:
Right-click the report and click Insert to add a text box.
Right-click inside of the text box, then click Expression.
Click Datasets, click First(POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2), scope of POSTED_TOTAL_AMT2 will be listed.
For more information about Understanding Expression Scope, please refer to the following document:

How to make a text variable (running header - character) resize a text frame?

I have successfully been able to get a metadata text variable to auto-resize a text frame, but when I change the text variable to a running header-character/paragraph variable, the text frame does not resize - in fact it gets smaller and squashes the text.
Surely if Indesign can handle one kind of variable it should handle another??
Please help!

Thanks all.
Will- I tried adding another character to the text box but this made no difference.
Eugene- I'm trying to avoid the purchase of any 3rd party plugins due to budget constraints.
I realised that all I needed to do was use a wide paragraph rule to emulate a box behind the text, and make the text box long enough to hold all possible variables.
One other issue has now cropped up, the running header (character) only grabs the text up to the first return, but I need it to grab all text formatted with the Character Style (2-3 lines max).
I require a forced line break in the title (where the header is being pulled from) as it has a paragraph rule style attached, requiring a full return for each line of the title.
Any ideas?

I need to know how to edit a PDF document?

I need to know how to edit a PDF document?

Preview has limited PDF editing capability. You can get a lot more on:
http://www.pdfescape.com/
or with Wondershare's PDF Editor.
Adobe Acrobat Pro is the most expensive solution.
Since you posted under iMac PPC forum, which is for iMacs that can't run any operating system newer than August 28, 2009, I can't say specifically what the capabilities of your version of Preview are. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac. If you have an Intel, you do not have a PPC. If you have a G5, G4 or G3, you posted to the right forum, and just need to find the version of Preview you have in Applications folder.

I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics

I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics with "Alternative Text".
I know that with a Microsoft product graphics can be tagged before a PDF is made. I need to know how to do this with my programming.

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...

Change visible layers in placed PDF

I need to programmatically change the visibility of layers in a placed PDF. Do I use kChangeVisibleLayersCmdBoss? Please show an example. I can get the "eyeball" to toggle in the "Object Layer Options" dialog box, but the view does not reflect the change.

I'm not sure if this setting exists in version 8, but check to see if Allow Layer State To Be Set By User Information is selected in the Documents Preferences. If it is not selected, Layer Properties dialog box settings, other than Layer Name and Default State, are ignored.

Overriding Text Variable Running Header

When you override a text variable running header, is there a way to keep that header "running"? I needed my header to be two lines so I did an override, but now it doesn't flow with the rest of the text. Now it's become a stationary header?

No. When you convert a variable to text, it is no longer "variable".
You can try and wait until your layout is totally finished before you convert tot text.
FWIW, multi-line headers is one of the advantages of Power Headers...

ID CS2 Incorrectly Rendered & Output Placed PDF

Out of necessity, I run many plates as placed pdf's into CS2. Fully patched (patches for CS2 are long done of course) what appears to be a fine pdf failed to render a small simple gradient.
Sequence - A Logo was created in Illy CS5, info shows as Adobe pdf library 9.90, Compatibility 1.5 (Acrobat 6). The logo sheet was placed (lettersize trim) and cropped to the 2 Spot version In ID CS3. (Production notes, cmyk values, etc. cropped)
This CS3 file exported to pdf, and placed into CS2. CS2 failed to build the gradient included in one spot.
Any thoughts relevant to avoiding this. Screen shot shows problem.

It is the machine which see's the printer.
More to the point - It prints to a Mac Shared printer, an Agfa imagesetter.
Other Windows based machines and the Mac sharing the printer have one of two problems - Plates image with the fonts "crammed" . At the end of lines or paragraphs fonts are crammed, set upon/overlapping each other as if the device did not understand the spacing. (Send ppd fonts is always toggled in dialogs without effect.) The workaround is to plate all files with the transparency flattener. I avoid this extra step.
My primary Win Vista station cannot succesfully install the printer; the process I use is Bonjour Printer Wizard which adds Mac printers on Win machines. After discovering the Agfa, windows cheerfully loads a Cannon Bubble Jet driver for it. Quite annoying. I have installed the Agfa PPD local to my System PPD folder, but it's not quite right.

Why are you placing PDFs into CS2?
To make direct plates; the file in question was for another print shop, in this case I am their service provider.

Http Response - needing to hide application directory from browser

Hi,
i need to hide the application root directory from the browser, as you can see at these steps example:
1) Http request: www.xxxx.com
2) Apache runs module Alias: redirect www.xxxx.com to www.xxxx.com/somedir/
3) Apache returns www.xxxx.com/somedir/ to the browser
But, i need to change the step 3: Apache must just return "www.xxxx.com" to the browser, instead of ".../somedir". How can i do it?
Thanks in advance, Euclides.

Is your question related to Web Cache or to access control in general? I'll take a stab at answering the question anyway, in hopes that I understood you correctly.
If you are wondering whether Web Cache supports user/group restrictions on file or directory access, the answer is "not yet". Until that time, requests that require access control should be flagged as non-cacheable, either in the Web Cache configuration or by using Surrogate-Control: no-store in the response headers.

Animation symbols not running smoothly in interactive pdf

I created an animated symbol on flash and placing it on the interactive pdf has been quite successful, except it does not animate as smoothly as I hoped it would.
Instead of looping a smooth animation on its own it requires the mouse to be hovered over the element area in a kind of sweeping motion in order for it to play keyframes, and sometimes with relatively smooth success and other times not. I've tried running the pdf in adobe reader in different computers and achieve the same results.
It was made for the NavCardSelected instance and the symbol itself is a relatively simple 'growing vine' animation, if that helps elaborate any more. Anyone have some kind of workaround to this?

I would check the Flash/SWF code to see if it requires any special events to be sent.
