New project on GitHub - DialogBuilder for InDesign CS5... (pure javascript)

Let me introduce one of my Projects - DialogBuilder for ExtendScript.
Designer focused on autolayout dialogs and generates code as ScriptUI-resources strings.
small video on YouTube
probably it will be interesting to someone...
sorry for my english : )

I assumed this.
To a huge regret I haven`t system with MacOS and never worked with it (to my shame). Therefore, the program is tested only on Windows.
Quite possibly in the future I will undertake compatibility with MacOS.
Now, I almost finished big work with Settings subsitem (add features for work with users lists of colors and fonts, and other...) and within 1-2 days lay on gitHub new revision, but I don`t know when I can do compatibility with MacOS.
If someone wants to help me with this - I will be very happy! For this purpose the project in open access!

You have 2 unreachable statements in this method.
public static int eval(String s2, String op, String s3) {
return lookup(s2);
return lookup(op);
return lookup(s3);
} You're missing a } at the end of this method:
public static int lookup(String s) {
    for(int k = 0; k < symbols.length; k++){
        String symbol = symbols[k];
        if(s.equals(symbol))
            return k;
    }You have some loose } and ; at the end of the file:
public static void main(String args[])
commandline();

DPS Tools for InDesign CS5 / CS5.5

Hi everyone.
Can't find download link of DPS Tools for InDesign CS5 / CS5.5. on Adobe site.
We plan to use CS5/CS5.5, cause we use WoodWing Enterprise in production.
Anyone can help us to download latest builds for CS5/CS5.5?
Thanks
Thanks

Hi Tomek
I know about that, but WoodWing customer can still use InDesign CS5/CS5.5.
Quote from dps-faq-indesign5and5.5:
>>>
How did this product change impact me if I am a WoodWing or vjoon K4 customer?
WoodWing and vjoon K4 pure EWS customers see no impact. WoodWing and vjoon continues to work for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5, however the creation of folios will be capped at v31. Pure refers to the vjoon customers using only the vjoon K4 user interface that do not also use the folio builder panel.
Hybrid WoodWing and K4 customers (those that do not disable Folio Builder panel and those using the Overlay Creator panel) are impacted. The Folio Builder Panel no longer functions in CS5 and CS5.5. v31 will be the last release for Overlay Creator panel and the Digital Publishing plugin for CS5 and CS5.5. There will be no updates or bug fixes to the Overlay Creator panel or Digital Publishing plugin for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5.
<<<
So we need to download v.31 tolls.
Could you help me with that?

What kind of laptop would recomend for InDesign CS5?

I am trying to buy a Toshiba Laptop Satellilte P750-BT4G22
Intel Core i7, 1G NVIDIA, 6GB memory, 640 GB HD
Would this work for InDesign CS5?

Any laptop really would work. Your laptop seems more than capable. It helps if it has a nice processor and a good amount of ram, which you do, but I have found InDesign is rather friendly
and most people can run the software easily. Also, screen size may matter to you for ease of use.
Here are receomended specs for InDesign from Adobe:
Windows
Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor
Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 3 or Windows 7
1GB of RAM (2GB recommended)
1.6GB (1.3GB for InCopy) of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash-based storage devices)
1024×768 display (1280×800 recommended) with 16-bit video card
DVD-ROM drive
Adobe® Flash® Player 10 software required to export SWF files
Some features in Adobe Bridge rely on a Direct X 9-capable graphics card with at least 64MB of VRAM

Cross reference or hyperlinking not working for InDesign CS5 Book to ePub

I cannot get hyperlinks or cross reference links to work when generating an ePub from InDesign CS5. (7.0.0.355, Mac OS 10.6.2)
Here's how to recreate a simple test demonstrating the issue.
1. Create a new InDesign Book (File -> New -> Book)
2. Create document one (File -> New -> Document)
3. Create a text box and type "Table of Contents"
4. Create document two (File -> New -> Document)
5. Create a text box in it and type "Story One"
6. Create a new paragraph style and assign it to the Story One text
7. Save document 2. I just kept the name Untitled-2.xhtml
8. Back in document 1, add a cross-reference and select document 2, the style you created, and then "Story One". "Story One" should now appear under the previously typed Table of Contents text, and when highlighed, should show it is an active cross reference in the Hyperlinks panel.
9. Save document 1. I just kept the name Untitled-1.xhtml
10. Add both documents to the Book and save the book.
11. From the Book panel, select Export Book to EPUB...
12. Save the epub file and open it in Adobe Digital Editions.
Note that the text "Story One" appears as a hyperlink but when clicked does not switch to the document 2. It does nothing apparent when clicked.
Looking at the XHTML source for the first document, it is immediately evident why. The filename for document 2.thml is missing. It looks like this: <a href="#anchor-anchor">
When it should be : <a href="Untitled-2.xhtml#anchor-anchor">
The same thing works if you create a hyperlink instead of a cross reference.
I note then when I use the option to go to the destinate reference in the Cross Link (hyperlink) panel, it does switch to the second InDesign docuemtn. So the cross reference is functioning (in InDesign). But the link is broken in the ePub for the above mentioned reason.
Bug? Something I'm overlooking?
Entire source of Untitled-1.xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

</head>
<body>
<div id="untitled-1">

<p class="basic-paragraph" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="no-style-override">Table of Contents</span></p>
<p class="basic-paragraph" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="no-style-override"><a href="#anchor-anchor">‚Äústory one‚Äù</a></span></p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

As far as I can tell, it has NOT yet been fixed in CS5.5. I'm having the same problem. I have about 90 hyperlinks to fix.
And the explanation that Teus Dejong gives indicates it's not going to be that helpful: "we have found that only the links in documents split by the CS5 exporter will be fixed. For books the script does only work for references to earlier documents in the book, not for forward references. This means in practice that for most books the script will not repair the links and should be seen as a means to add the year only. At the moment I see no way to repair this, because the book epub output of InDesign does not contain sufficient information to repair links referencing forward to others documents in a book."
It's pretty discouraging.

Where is product key for InDesign CS5 located in Mac Osx?

Hello Adobe Community,
So this is the context:
Our only Mac in head office is unable to boot up into OSx, I took it to the Genius bar to troubleshoot and they said to wipe the hard drive and re install OSx which is fine except that I need the InDesign CS5 product key off of it. We don't have the product key written down anywhere or the original software/box it came with and also, I don't know which email address InDesign is registered to because it was installed years before I was hired. But I am able to access the hard drive on the Mac and see all the files by booting off an OSx on my USB key. So my question is: does anyone know the file or where I can find the product key on the hard drive?
I'm hoping someone has run into a similiar problem and has a magical answer!
Thanks in advance!

Do you still have the original proof of purchase (CS5 was released in April 2010)? E.g. check who you purchased the software through as well. Depending on the license type the supplier might even be able to assist with the S/N if they recorded it. Also if the serial number was registered against a company name, support might be able to retrieve this for you based on the domain name, but you'd need to at least have proof of purchase is my guess. (Generally they'd ask for a copy of the installer media as well to show that you have the original installer CDs/DVDs).
I'd definitely try contacting Adobe Customer Support:

Let us know how you go.

Won't accept serial no. for InDesign CS5 when trying to upgrade to CS6. What to do?

I own InDesign CS5 (single product, not part of a suite) and I'm trying to upgrade to CS6, which I just bought. When prompted for the serial no. for CS5 the installer won't accept it; it says it is not a qualifying product. I have double-checked the serial number at My Adobe account – it is correct. Please help!

XCode version required for InDesign CS5

Newbie--AppleScript for InDesign CS5 help needed

How can I select a page number in a table (a text string as a Source) and have an AppleScript read that text string and convert it to an integer value?
I have to put over 1,200 hyperlinks into a document that already has page numbers in tables. Each page number (Source) will be assigned a hyperlink to go to that page (Destination).
The page numbers in tables are in the preface to my document, which is 44 pages in length.
The actual pages in the main body of my document are numbered 1-432. Thus, the 45th page in the document is Page 1 to the person reading it, and the 476th page is Page 432.
So if a table in my preface has a page number of 32, for instance, the actual page number I want as a Destination is 32 + 44, or page 76.
If I manually double-click to select the text of a number "x" in a table as a Source, I want to write a script that when invoked will
• read the text string I have selected
• convert it to an integer value equal to the number in the text string
• add 44 to that value
• create a hyperlink that goes to the destination page number that corresponds to that value
Thanks.

Hi WheatWilliams,
Something like this, then:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
set myTextObjects to {text, character, word, text style range, line, paragraph, text column, cell, table, row, column}
if (count documents) is greater than 0 then
set mySelection to selection
if (count mySelection) is equal to 1 then
tell document 1
--Is the selection a text selection?
if class of item 1 of mySelection is in myTextObjects then
set myText to item 1 of mySelection
try
set myErrorString to "Selection already contains a hyperlink text source."
--Create the hyperlink text source.
set myHyperlinkTextSource to make hyperlink text source with properties {source text:myText}
set myPageNumber to item 1 of mySelection as integer
set myPageNumber to myPageNumber + 44
set myErrorString to "Could not get page number."
set myPage to page myPageNumber
set myErrorString to "Could not create hyperlink page destination."
--Create they hyperlink page destination.
set myHyperlinkPageDestination to make hyperlink page destination with properties {destination page:myPage}
set view percentage of myHyperlinkPageDestination to 100
--Now use the source and the destination to create the hyperlink.
set myErrorString to "Could not create hyperlink."
set myHyperlink to make hyperlink with properties {source:myHyperlinkTextSource, destination:myHyperlinkPageDestination}
set myErrorString to "Cound not format hyperlink."
--Apply formatting to the hyperlink (could be done in the properties record, above).
set visible of myHyperlink to true
set border color of myHyperlink to blue
set border style of myHyperlink to solid
on error
display dialog myErrorString
end try
end if
end tell
end if
end if
end tell
Thanks,

Updating plugins for inDesign CS5

This has surely been discussed and answered prior to today but I can't find any mention other than a Search uncovering dozens of torrents.
I frequently get a message I need to update my in-design plugins but can't find a link to an adobe download. Any help appreciated.

I inherited the job of recovering files created during the period of time my company used Adobe CC and after analysis decided to go back to using CS5 and CS6 software they had purchased. I'm forming the opinion now that it will be easier for me to simply reconstruct the documents either in another program or ID CS5. There may be serious differences between CS5 and CC versions but for the publications this company produce, I can't find any useful difference between the two versions or at any rate, nothing I can't overcome with CS5.
I'm not surprised to discover what you've said seems to be correct. Just another example of too much focus on profit and not enough on product perfection. When I compare some of my magazines created with an Atari system, the only functional difference is the colour and the layout. Both of which could be easily brought into line with current design trends. I agree absolutely with your description of the message. All it seems to have done is create a plethora of virus riddled torrents unknowing people are poisoning their computers with.
Thanks for the reply. I think this company's answer is to recreate those documents that were not converted to .dml files before removing CC from their workstations.

There were no results for InDesign CS5.5 crashes when exporting a PDF in OSX.

Clean install, I created a file from scratch with embedded links to jpegs, single page pdfs, and photoshop files I created.
This is not acceptable in released software to be going backwards like this. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Thanks.

That sounds like the problem that Larry was talking about which seems to be related to the latest release of Lion. Try holding down the Opt key when you export to bypass the dialogs. You'll find more details at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4496690#4496690

Adobe InDesign CS5 Server JavaScript: Get rectangle by XML tag

Hi,
Current set-up:
Adobe InDesign Server CS5 scripted through ExtendScript via PHP SOAP
The problem:
I'm currently placing an image file into a rectangle using the following code:
frame     =   doc.rectangles[0];
imgList   =   frame.place(new File(img));
This works fine; the img file is placed into the rectangle as expected. However, this only refers to the first rectangle in the document: if I have two rectangles in the document, the image is placed into the last created rectangle.
What I'd ideally like to be able to refer to the rectangle by its XML tag - something like:
frame     =   doc.getRectangleByTag('Pic'); // <Pic> being the name of the XML tag
imgList   =   frame.place(new File(img));
Does anyone have any advice as to how this can be achieved? I realise this is rudimentary question, but am finding no joy after several hours of searching.
Many thanks

What I'd ideally like to be able to refer to the rectangle by its XML tag - something like:
frame     =   doc.getRectangleByTag('Pic'); // <Pic> being the name of the XML tag
imgList   =   frame.place(new File(img));
Are you sure you want to do it this way?
Could you explain why? I suspect there is a better solution.
In any case, at least in my test case, the XML tag is associated with the image inside the frame and not the frame itself. So if you want the frame, you must get the image associated with the tag and then go up to the parent. This works in a simple test:
var frame =
    app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].
    evaluateXPathExpression("//tennis")[0].
    graphics[0].parent;
[object Rectangle]
