How to place the images in Indesign xml file by Javascript?

How to place the images in Indesign xml file by Javascript?
We got the Indesign xml file, how to give the image placement link by Indesign javascript? Please help me its urgent.

Hi,
You can pass the image url as a href attribute=> file:///Users/me/Documents/my_pic.jpg directly within your xml. It just needs that you pass a local, static and valid url.
If you want to add image later once the xml is flowed and so target specific nodes and inject images, it's a bit more complex. If the node is not part of the layout, you may try to reach the XMLElement objet and such an attribute, then layout the element.
var x = some XMLElement
x.xmlAttributes.add("href","file:///Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" );
If already placed, then you have to get the associated pageItem, then place your file into it.
pagItm.place ( File ( "/Users/m/Documents/my_pic.jpg" ) );
Hope that helps,

Why do the colors appear different from photoshop when I place a picture in indesign?

I am new to indesign, and photoshop for that matter. But when I place a picture in indesign the color looks completely different from what it was in photoshop. Is this just a display issue or will it print with the wrong color?

You have a profile mismatch. Make sure the document and PS file's assigned profiles match. If you are not assigning color profiles then the Working Spaces in Color Settings have to match.

How can I place good screenshots into InDesign?

This is essentially what I am trying to do as well...Is there a correct answer that was given? How do know which answer is the one correct answer that is noted in the forum? My question is identical to the one below. My screen shots are off a website.
I am working on a guide in InDesign to distribute to our customers that shows step by step instructions on how to use our software. I am taking screenshots of the software and placing them into InDesign. I have tried this many different ways now and I can't get the images to look clear. I have taken the screenshot and pasted it into Illustrator, Photoshop, even Paint and then saved it as many different file types, jpeg, gif, tif, etc. It looks great in Illustrator or Photoshop but after I place the image into InDesign it looks awful. It looks blurry on the screen and after I print.
If I paste the image into Illustrator and then copy from there and simply paste into InDesign the image looks much better. Almost perfect. But I know this isn't the right way to do this and the images aren't saved/linked this way.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

Peter,
The screenshots tell you everything.
The second one tells you how the image frame is automatically set up after a one-click place. It's the blue stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line. This image frame is generated at a proportionally correct height and width for the image it contains.
Now, if you look at the third screenshot (click on it to see it at a larger size), you will see I've used the direct selection tool (white arrow) to click on the image within the image frame. This CLEARLY shows the image (within the image frame) is substantially larger than the frame generated to contain it. This is indicated by the yellow stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line.
Notice that the blue and yellow rectangles are vastly different sizes.
In InDesign CS5.5, when i clicked to place the image, the image would fit perfectly within its image frame. the blue and yellow rectangles would match.
I had no need to go click on the proportional fill and centre buttons like i need to do now in CC.
I have a keyboard shortcut to place. I can't do File > Place for the amount of images i need to place.
So to reiterate: How do i place an image so that the image and image frame match?

[InDesign CS3] Unable to place PICT image on InDesign document.

Hi all,
I am trying to place a PICT type image on InDesign CS3 document but it is being shown disabled in open dialog. And when I drag this image(PICT type) to InDesign document, I am getting an error message "Quick Time and a TIFF (uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture".

Thanks in anticipation

When you place content from InDesign, why are you exporting it as JPG?
You can either
save the INDD file and place it directly into InDesign or
export the INDD as PDF/X-4 and place it into InDesign.
This should result in better quality than using JPGs which will be always a loss of crispyness, change of colors, blurry text and loss of quality.

How can I place Tagged Text in InDesign

I use tagged text in the files I place
in InDesign. For example,
<cn>This is the chapter number
<ct>This is the chapter title
<cst>This is the chapter subtitle
<bt>This is the beginning of the body text
<ah>This is an A-level head
and so on. In PageMaker, there was a checkbox in the "place"
dialogue box named "Read tags." I checked that, and when I placed the file in the template (in which I had the styles defined), the whole chapter appeared with the formatting I wanted for each style.
I can't find the equivalent checkbox in InDesign. I can't believe it is no longer there, but search as I do, I can't find it. There is a lot online about exporting tagged text, but where, oh where, is my checkbox for placing tagged text? If someone knows where it is, I'd be very grateful.

Import/Place .odt files in Indesign CS6

Hi,
Can we place/import .odt files in Indesign CS6? If yes, how?
Or do we need to convert them into other specific word formats so that the content & styles remain the same.
Thanks.

Save as Word file.
InDesign can't import ODF files - so you'll have to use a format or application that does support.
I don't know if the index entries are kept when going from ODF to Word.

Start script automatically after place Word text in indesign document

I need start a script, automatically, after plece Word text in indesign document...
It's possible ???

This is how I'd approach it - it captures a 'place' or 'paste' of a blob of text. It is not perfect - it will also 'fire' if you simply copy some text from one frame in the document to an empty frame, but I don't think that would be an issue in most cases.
Create a page item on the pasteboard; use the Active Page Item Developer palette to set the List of Subjects to * (just an asterisk), and the Event Filter to subjectModified* ('subjectModified' with an asterisk appended). Set the attached ExtendScript to the script shown below.
I've not tested this heavily - it's only a proof of concept...
(function(theItem)
const kKeyForSavedTextLength = "com.rorohiko.savedTextLength";
do
    var theFrame = theItem.eventSource;
    if (! (theFrame instanceof TextFrame))
      // Not a text frame - bail out
      break;
    var previousTextLength =
      theFrame.getDataStore(
        kKeyForSavedTextLength);
    if (previousTextLength == null)
      previousTextLength = 0;
    if (previousTextLength > 0)
      // Already has text in it - bail out
      break;
    var curTextLength = theFrame.contents.length;
    theFrame.setDataStore(
      kKeyForSavedTextLength,
      curTextLength);
    if (curTextLength == 0)
      // No text in it - bail out
      break;
    alert("Pasted or placed a blob of text");
while (false);
(theItem));

I cant place a pdf in Indesign because of missing fonts

I am running into a problem with a pdf add I am trying to place in a booklet. When I go to export the Indesign document it tells me it cant because the pdf I placed in it has a font I don't have. I always thought you could place and print pdfs without having all the fonts. I thought it was only if you wanted to edit the pdf that you needed the font. Isn't that the point of a pdf? Does any one have a good solution for this? I am using Indesign cc 201 on a mac. The pdf is secure so I cant run any sort of preflight or flattening on it( at least as far as I know).

Is the export really failing, or are you getting a missing font warning and cancelling? The ad may not look good, but you should still be able to export, I think.
But bottom line here is that you need to educate the folks who send in the ads so they always embed the fonts.

Can't place Edge file in InDesign for DPS

I'm making an animation to play at the beginning of a DPS article, and I can't get it to place in InDesign. I've set the publish settings for DPS, and exported the animation as a .oam file, but when I go to place it the file is grayed out, or I get an error message saying "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested file." I'm in InDesign 5.5 so not sure if that's affecting it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Only Indesign Cs6 supports .oam files

Automatically place images within multiple InDesign documents

I work for a publishing company of agricultural trade magazines and work on few titles each month. We are trying to streamline our production procedures and previous company I worked for had a script they used to place images within text pages by searching for the file name, however there were some limitations with this script (it would only work within 1 InDesign document and only within 1 InDesign story at a time). The company I am with now breaks out each editorial story into separate InDesign files and we place image boxes when the display ads are going to go. For our purposes now, I am looking for a script that, once all of the image boxes were tagged with the image file names, could search between multiple InDesign documents in a folder and automatically place all the images for us. Is anything like this available or able to be created? If so, would it have the capacity to search between multiple InDesign documents and search the entire document for the image file names? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kasyan,
They were tagged using a program called Pathways created by a computer programmer the company used at the time. The issues that I was working on were annual Buyers' Guides so they were mainly just listings and inline graphics. The kinds of issues I work on now are monthly issue with various stories and no inline graphics, but display advertisements. And each story is created and laid out in a separate InDesign document. So I would need a script that can search an entire group of documents for file names and/or image boxes instead of just in one story in one document for inline graphics. (sorry if this is confusing).
I currently do not have a script to work from and am looking for something new that can be used to save use the time of placing every ad manually.
Thanks for your help and feedback!

How can I place a file in INDESIGN 3 at 100%

I am a novice Indesign user using Indesign 3 on a PC. The other office I work with is using Indesign 3 on a Mac.
When I open their indd files and view them, the placed images indicate 100% when I use the direct selection tool to check the percentage. However, If I design the same page, create a frame and place the same image from the original link they used as well, when I fit the content proportionally, and use the direct selection tool to see the size, it comes in at the percentage from the original file, say 42% if it was decreased by approx. half.
I am sure there is an easy explanation for this, but I cannot find it in my searching. Can someone help me understand what I am missing here.
I appreciate your assistance with this question.
Ginger Creswell

Since you have her file, what happens if you open her file and place the image without first making and selecting a frame? Is it the same size as the image in the frame?
>Yes when I make the frame, place the image, fit the image to the frame, it reads 42% -(then 100% when selected with the black arrow tool) this is the way I believe it should be.
Unless the frame you create is exactly the same size as the image you place into it, it will always change size if you fit the image to the frame. If the frame is smaller, the image will have to be made smaller to fit into the frame. The same applies to a larger frame.
I don't get the impression that you are confusing scaling with cropping, but it should be mentioned that you can have a 100% size image in a smaller frame if part of the image is outside the boundries of the frame.
Also, I mentioned in an earlier post that the most likely error would be that the image in the original isn't the same (has the same name, but has been changed in its original program) as the image you are trying to place, even if your San Fran designer sent it to you (she could have sent you the wrong image). If you open her file and package it, it will spit out a copy of the image, which you can try placing to see if you still get the same results.

What is the best place to print an indesign book?

I'm considering purchasing InDesign. I love photoshop, but I spend a lot of time making books to archive our family's photos and happenings. In the past I have used software provided from the publisher to design and print these books. If I use indesign, I'm wondering where the best place is to print a good quality 12X12 book. Thank you!

If you've been working with a printer you like, ask them if they can accept files made with ID, pr4eferably PDFs you export.
My personal bias is toward working with a local printshop however. I like being able to walk in the door and talk to the people doing the work. They value my business more than the internet guys, too.

Can't place whole image in InDesign

Please help!
I have a jpeg image that I'm trying to place on a double page spread on indesign. The image is 5906x1378 pixels (3.3MB) - but only the first third of the image shows up.
I have tried fitting the content in different ways, I've tried changing the display performance.. I just can't work it out.

I have a jpeg image that I'm trying to place on a double page spread on indesign.
If you are trying to place it on the spread try making a frame first and placing into the frame rather than directly on the page.
So draw an empty frame:
And with it selected place your jpeg:
Then set the fitting of the frame to Fit Content Proportionately.
It may be that your 5906pixel image is set to 72ppi, which isn't unusual from digital cameras—that makes its starting output width 82 inches.
