Open .xml documents into InDesign?

Is there a way to open .xml documents into InDesign, or any Adobe program?
The goal is to access text from a web site feed and place it in an Indesign doc, to create a print product.

You can't open XML but you can certainly utilize it.
Here's a good book you might want to look into: http://amzn.to/i3iWZ5

Can I append an XML Document into another?

I have a large xml document which I open into coldfusion (mx
7), and then a smaller group of files that are opened into thier
own xml objects. After some customization of xml text values, I
want to append the smaller xml documents into the larger document
at specific positions within the document tree.
I have the code that I thought would do this, using an
arrayappend function, but what happens is that only the root
element of the smaller (inserted) xml document is placed into the
main document.
Is this possible, or do I need to modify the code so that the
entire tree of xml data that I am appending is created on the
fly?

Personally I do this with XSLT.

Can't open XML documents

Hi there, I am trying to open XML documents but can't as I have Office 2004 on Mac 10.5.8. The update is only available for 11.5.0. So do I have to buy a new Office package? Or just buy Mac 11.5? Thanks.

Long Word document into InDesign

I understand how to place a Word doc into InDesign and even through InCopy and preserve all the styles etc, but what I am missing is how to get a 100 plus page document into InDesign without having to maually place each page. I am sure there is something simple that I need to set/change to get multiple pages in there automatically.
Thanks for any help!

Autoflow.
Drag in a new page after the last page, go back one page, click the out port (little red plus sign at the bottom right of the frame), take your loaded cursor to the next (last) page, shift click in the upper left margin corner. ID will create as many pages with frames as it needs to flow out all the text.
You can also do this when you first Place the text. Just shift-click the loaded cursor instead of clicking (without shift).

Failed to open XML document. Failed to retrieve Public ID

I have a client posting to Weblogic 6.1 server with the help of Apache
SOAP 2.2. The posting works fine if the contents of the SOAP message
is small. But when the contents of SOAP reached more than 11KB, the
following error occurs:
Error: Failed to open XML document. Failed to retrieve PUBLIC id or
SYSTEM id from the document. Decrease the number of char between the
beginning of the document and its root element.
The SOAP document looks like:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<mn:sMethodName xmlns:mn="sMethodURI">
<batch appid="1">
<employee>
<name>...</name>
<address>...</address>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>...</name>
<address>...</address>
</employee>
</batch>
</mn:sMethodName>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The Max Post Size in Weblogic is set to (-1).
The program is able to handle less than 50 items of
<employee>.....</employee>. The error occurs when more than 50 items
are used. The problem is that our application should be able to handle
more than 1000 items of <employee>....</employee>.
My questions are:
1. How should I configure weblogic to solve the problem?
2. How should I configure the deployment of Apache SOAP to solve the
problem?
Pls advise. Thanks.

One can deduce from the error message that the parser is looking for the
<?XML...?> portion of the document because that is where the SYSTEM and
PUBLIC ids are found in the document.

Sorry, but I didn't get what you mean. I thought that was handled by theApache
SOAP API already? And if it couldn't see the XML document header, then whydoes
this only happens when the document size is large? It doesn't haveproblems whenever
the document size is small.

To load an XML document into 40 tables

How do I load a large XML document into 40 tables. Most of the exmaples, I see only load one table into the Orcale database?

From the above document:
Storing XML Data Across Tables
Question
Can XML- SQL Utility store XML data across tables?
Answer
Currently XML-SQL Utility (XSU) can only store to a single table. It maps a canonical representation of an XML document into any table/view. But of course there is a way to store XML with the XSU across table. One can do this using XSLT to transform any document into multiple documents and insert them separately. Another way is to define views over multiple tables (object views if needed) and then do the inserts ... into the view. If the view is inherently non-updatable (because of complex joins, ...), then one can use INSTEAD-OF triggers over the views to do the inserts.
-- I've tried this, works fine.

A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

I second LibreOffice as it's the most recent fork, however NeoOffice and OpenOffice will also work.
Just say No money to Redmond!
Also the old Ready Set Go! will be having a Lion version out soon.
It's a low cost page layout program (like Indesign but without the high price) and can make booklets etc better, import the excel grpahics from LibreOffice.

Cannot copy and paste from an external document into InDesign cs6

I am unable to copy and paste from "anywhere" into my InDesign cs6? Not from emails, word, or any other programs? HELP. thanks.

You might find more accurate help here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign (InDesign Forum)
Copying and pasting is not usually a good idea. Try using the "place" command to place your external files or documents into InDesign. Nevertheless, you should be able to copy text from Word or other programs with no problem. How are you doing it exactly? Try to do it not only with keyboard shortcuts, but using the actual "copy" and "paste" menus on both programs.

How do i import a large word document into Indesign CS6?

I am a new user to InDesign, using version CS6, I would like to know if there is an easy way to import a MS word document into InDesign. The document is about 1000 pages and contains text, images and tables.

Notes on importing from Word to InDesign CS6 and exporting via Kindle Plugin can be found on my blog at:
http://02cafd3.netsolhost.com/blogs/eBookTec/?p=316
To make a long story short, the Kindle Plugin has a long-standing problem with tables and/or more than a certain limit of hyperlinks. Since these problems have persisted for at least 2 years now, I must conclude that there are organizational problems on the Kindle Plugin project. The possibilities include too many junior programmers, not enough attention to the project, not enough positive incentive to make the plugin work and any number of possible management weaknesses. It took our JPL team about 3 years to put Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, so there's no way a technical problem could be standing this long in the way of the Kindle Plugin handling tables or any number of embedded hyperlinks - nor, for that matter, a Word source document of any reasonable size whatsoever. One might also cite a lack of competition in this new business sector but then you'd have to ask, do they want to play in the eBook market or don't they? Companies like Apple succeed by ignoring the competition and in this way end up setting the standards for decades to come.

I cannot open any documents in Indesign after downloading Yosemite. Says I need Java 6. I have Java 8 and still doesn't work. Please suggest.

It may seem strange indeed, but yes, you have to ALSO install the older version 6 for Apple's system; other applications will use your Java (which I believe is now even 9) and others will use that version 6.
Download directly from Apple here:

XML document into multiple tables

How to insert a xml document into multiple tables. Eg. Purchase Order having multiple line items. I have to insert xml document into Parent as well as child with different sets of columns.

I created the tables using the create_ch14_tables.sql. I call it using java -classpath .;C:\commerceone\xpc\lib\xmlparserv2.jar;C:\commerceone\xpc\lib\classes12.zip;C:\commerceone\xpc\lib\xsu12.jar XMLLoader -file deptempdepend.xml -connName default -transform deptempdepend.xsl. The code doesn't seem to like the "<xsl:for-each select="Department">" tags. If I remove them, the insDoc.getDocumentElement().getFirstChild() will find the element, but it still doesn't insert anything into the database.
Thank You,
Dave

Existing XML documents into KM

Hello Everyone
Is there a way to load existing xml documents into KM and then maintain them using xml forms built using the form builder. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Swetha

Hi Renuka
You can move the XML projects from one server to another.The Xml forms created is stored in the path 'etc\xmlforms' in KM. You can send it out and Upload to the target server instead of creating the same in the Target server from the scratch.

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.
