Question on "text flow" with two text fields:

Hi Folks,
I was hoping you could help me to see if this is possible with Livecycle Designer, any assistance would be much appreciated:
I'm populating a dynamic pdf and have the need to have multiple lines of text composed of two text fields (name and description) where name is bold text followed by description in regular text for example:
Item 1 Name Sample: This is the item one description, adding some lorem ipsum text to show how it would flow across multiple lines here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, defunctam.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ingens ad te ad nomine Hesterna. Pentapoli naves non ait Cumque ego dum. Scelus patrem in rei.
Item 2 Name Sample: This is the item two description, adding some lorem ipsum text to show how it would flow across multiple lines here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, defunctam.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ingens ad te ad nomine Hesterna. Pentapoli naves non ait Cumque ego dum. Scelus patrem in rei exultant deo apprehendit in fuerat construeret in rei sensibilium acciperem qui enim est se vero diam ille. Agimus nolo me testatur sed. Descendi eam ad.
Item 3 Name Sample: This is the item three description, adding some lorem ipsum text to show how it would flow across multiple lines here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, defunctam.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ingens ad te ad nomine Hesterna. Pentapoli naves non ait Cumque ego dum. Scelus patrem in rei.
I have a subform for each item that contains two fields [itemName] [itemDescription], is there any way to do this without combining them into one textfield with rich text on?
Thanks,

Hi Phill,
You could use floating fields, where the inputs are hidden and bound to your incoming XML. In the visible {} fields, you can set one of these to bold. The advantage would be that the two displayed floating fields will flow depending on the content.
Have a look at the second example in this form: http://assure.ly/iuYifq
Hope that helps,
Niall

How to Embed a Text Frame Within a Text Frame with Smart Text Reflow

This is driving me nuts, and I've wasted hours searching exhaustively but can't seem to find the answer.
I've been working with this indesign file and cleaning it up really well. I now have all the text flowing with smart text reflow. There are two parts in the book that have columns of information, or tables. The way it was originally done was having a text box placed inside the text box. But unfortunately, whenever you add pages before or after, the text box won't follow with the text box it is inside. I have tried grouping the two text boxes together, but this doesn't seem to work with Smart Text Reflow (since every page is based on the primary master). How do you embed a text frame inside another text frame that is based off the primary master? I guess it would be like using the text frame as an object.
I included an image to help my explanation.
I even tried adding columns and then spannign the header part across, but this still doesn't flow with the rest of the text.

ANchor it into the other text fram, look in the help file. Keyword = Anchored Objects.

How Do You Make an Image Flow with the Text?

Hello all,
I am using CS4 InDesign on Windows Vista. I am fairly new to Indesign but try to do my research and homework well before asking what I hope is not a really dumb question.
I am writing a book of approx. 350 pages that is an illustrated encyclopedia of 156 plants and their oils.
Each 2 page spread is a single entry for a plant. The graphics frames on each spread are identical in size, position and styles for a consistent look throughout the document.As you can see (hopefully) each page is a single column. See screenshot below
In order to overcome my first problem of positioning and sizing the graphics frames uniformly, I created the master pages with the graphics placeholders sized, positioned and formatted to my liking. This worked wonderfully and I placed all of my 300+ graphics by simply over riding each frame.
Then in my editing I decided to add another 2 page spread somewhere in the middle of this fairly large document.
What a NIGHTMARE. The text predictably shifted but now ALL of my graphics were no longer associated with the corresponding text! Arrrgghhh.I had not anticipated this behavior (used MS Word for 15 years) or I would have done something different.
3 hours later I finished re -"placing" the images associated with the correct text.
I researched the help file and found out about the neccessity of anchoring graphics to text. I have read through the threads in this forum, followed links to "indesignsecrets.com/make-an-image-flow-with-the-text" and " Working with anchored objects by Anne Marie Concepcion"
My concerns are this.
An inline graphic places the graphic back onto your text layer for some reason ( Previously my graphics each had their own layer)
Not wanting to start (again) from scratch with my graphics I converted them to inline/custom anchored objects.
But to select then cut then paste every pre existing graphic to anchor it inline seems to be cumbersome and counter intuitive although the top smaller graphic did position well and the text seemed to wrap ok.
When I placed the larger bottom graphic on the left facing page using custom positioning I was not able to get the text to wrap at all.( The in line anchoring did not seem to allow for positioning on anything but the 'Y' axis).
It seems that there would be a simpler way to place text and graphics where you want them and have them associate and flow together (or not) when you want them to and have text wrap easily around an anchored object without keyboard gymnastics. It would seem that the concept of a certain graphic being associated or linked with certain text would not be an unusual concept in desktop publishing.
Am I missing something?
Can you place an anchored graphics frame on the master page with your desired options?
How would this be done if possible?
Is there any other way (i.e grouping) to keep graphics associated with the desired text so that it flows together if extra pages are added?
Is the fact that my graphics frames are on my master pages responsible for my text wrap difficulty? (I have text wrap enabled on my master pages)
Are there any settings, redundant or otherwise, I need to be aware of?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or directions
L.N.

Hello Again,
Thank You Bob but I am still a little fuzzy on this. I have already created object styles for the graphics frames. For instance the small graphic underneath the heading (Its a drop of oil) has an object style applied. Now I checked and it has the anchored object options checked in the style dialog box. When I reapply the style to the next similar graphics nothing happens. It is still not anchored. Do I need to create a new style based on "nothing" add my effects plus the anchoring options? Basically start over. If thats what I need to do thats OK. As to your instruction that object styles could accomodate this anchoring thing...thats what I thought too but somehow I can't get it to work. See object style dialog box screenshot below:
For the larger graphic on the bottom of the left facing page. I still cannot get any text to wrap. In the screenshot example the text describing this particular plant doesn't go to the bottom of the page so the wrapping issue on this page is moot. However I have some entries where the body of the description is more involved and does go to the bottom of the page and the text WOULD need to wrap around the plant (larger ) graphic.
Hi there Harb, Yes I found out early on that object styles can't apply size (that would be on my wish list for sure) That is why I found that creating my graphics frames on the master page with the correct size, effects and positioning tickled me so much. Can you believe I originally went through and MANUALLY resized and repositioned each and every 300+ graphics in this book but it still wasn't right. I'm nothing if not persistent. (Now if I could just get my grown sons to pick up their socks!)
Anyway the master page graphics frames idea would be perfect if I could get the images to anchor in their respective spots on the master page as well.
For your second suggestion. I am not clear about why I would need to break the threads of each spread so that each spread is a seperate article. Is the threading issue the thing that is causing my text to move on leaving their associated graphics behind? If so how do I go about doing this?
So to recap:
1. I need to know if I can modify my object style or recreate from scratch with the anchoring option (as I said it didn't work)
2. Can't get text to wrap around the Custom anchored graphic at bottom of page at all
3. Im not clear on the breaking the threading on the spreads
I am willing to go back through and start from scratch (new master pages, styles etc ) if neccesary. This book is the culmination of 7 years of research and artwork.Basically the project is DONE. Now if I can just format it correctly.
I can't thank you both enough for your time, suggestions, expertise and patience.
Thanks again

Adobe form -- Issue in Displaying Dynamic text along with Static text

Hi All,
I am having an issue when i am displaying a dynamic text along with static text in adobeforms.
The dynamic text is slightly coming down and not aligned with the static text. i can see half row it is coming down.
how to align both texts to be printed in same format.
Request all of your expert advices in achieving this .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks&Regards,
Phani Miriyaila.

Hi,
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Goto Object palette -> Layout. Give values to X,Y coordinates and Height & Width. Anchor properly and specify margins as well.
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Right click on it and goto palettes -> Paragraph. It gives you the text alignment options. Align the text and give similar font and size.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanoosh

Need help with creating text anchors with tagged text.

Can anyone tell me how to determine the correct value for a "Hyperlink Dest Index" value?
I have a script which creates a tagged text file that specifies about about 280 pages of tables (thank heavens for autoflow) , and would like to add live links between different parts. I can create a text anchor and a hyperlink to it in InDesign. The tagged text definition for the link source is simple and in-line and exports and imports nicely as tagged text. However, I see that all the link destinations, aka text anchors, are all exported at the very end of the tagged text files as global definitions, and thier location iin the document is specified by the property HyperlinkDestIndex. However, I can't figure out how to set this value progammatically. I've spent over an hour exporting links, and it sure isn't anything as obvious as character index in the story.
Any advice appreciated,
Read Roberts

Read, I'm not sure the following is going to help you. It works for external hyperlinks, but you want internal links, right? Anyway, it might give you some clues.
A funny thing: I was reviewing some script where I got links to work, and I spotted a tiny coding error. Links seemed to be defined by two separate identifiers: a "link name", which is what appears in Edit Hyperlink dialog, and a "Dest Key", which seems to be a simple increasing number. However, due to aformentioned coding error, the dest keys between the actual link and its definition were off by '1', so there was no way that ought to have matched. But it still worked! So "Dest Key" is a red herring ...
As far as I understand, it works like this (for hyperlinks): in your text, you have
HplName -- this is actually the 'title' that appears in the Hyperlink palette
HplDest -- this is the 'internal name'
DestKey. Hm. Perhaps you could omit this, per above obsvn.
CharStyleRef, the name of the auto-applied style
Hid -- seems to be always '0'
HplOff: the "offset" from this entire command to the start of the hyperlink, in InDesign characters.
HplLen: the "length" from the hyperlinked text, in InDesign characters.
and in the list of 'proper' definitions, those that appear at the very end of your file:
HplDestDfn -- the internal name again
DestKey -- see above
HplDestUrl -- finally! A real URL! (But you must escape lots of characters, such as the forward slash and colon.)
Hid -- again, always seems to be '0'.
Some of these items are perhaps optional, but experimenting with what may be left out only lead to frustration The Tagged Text guide is far from complete, as I'm sure you already knew.
As noted, some (or all) of the named items need a backslash escape for a few characters, but I can't find a definitive way to determine in advance what is 'good' and what is 'not good'.
The following script creates a Tagged Text file with a couple of working hyperlinks in it -- I don't know if this is of any help for your internal links.
var hyperlinkDest = [];
var text = "This is some text with a link [http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html] and another one [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1014617?tstart=0] in it.";
var tagtext = text.replace (/\[(.+?)\]/g, function (full, match)
 return makelink (match, 'title:'+match, match, match);
// When done processing plain text, add the destinations at the end:
tagtext += hyperlinkDest.join('');
tagFile = File(Folder.myDocuments+'/__tmp.txt');
if (tagFile.open('w') == false)
 alert ("Unable to create temporary file!");
 exit();
if (File.fs == "Windows")
 tagFile.write ("<ASCII-WIN>\n");
else
 tagFile.write ("<ASCII-MAC>\n");
tagFile.write ("<dcs:HYPERLINK=<cu:1>>\n");
 tagFile.write (tagtext);
tagFile.close();
// 'text' is the actual text that will be clickable
// 'title' is what will appear in the Hyperlinks palette
// 'name' is the internal name in the Edit Hyperlink dialog
// 'url' is the actual URL that will be linked to
function makelink (text, title, name, url)
 var destkey = hyperlinkDest.length;
 // In URL you must escape forward slashes and colons
 // .. and some other characters as well, by the way. There seems to be no list
 url = url.replace(/\//g, '\\/').replace(/:/g, '\\:');
 hyperlinkDest.push ('<HplDestDfn:=<HplDestName:'+name+'><DestKey:'+String(destkey)+'><HplDestUrl:'+url+'><Hid:0>>');
 return '<Hpl:=<HplName:'+title+'><HplDest:'+name+'><DestKey:'+String(destkey)+'><CharStyleRef:HYPERLINK><Hid:0><Brdrv:0><HplOff:0><HplLen:'+String(text.length)+'>>'+text;

Rich Text Editor with Custom Text Attribute

Hello All,
We are using the latest version of Oracle Portal 10G. I have a need to create custom Attributes of the type text to let people enter a lot of text. But when User are in edit mode of an item where this custom attribute is used, the Rich Text Editor is not shown for entering the Text for the Custom Text Attribute. It shows a normal html text area. Has anyone ever used RTE with Custom Attribute?
I request you guys for help.
Thanks.

The Problem with the Custom Attribute is not solved, but I have now compromised with the Situation and now I am not using a Custom attribute.
Rather, Now I am creating a Custom Item Type using Base Text Type (earlier i wanted to create custom item type at my own without any base item type). In this case now I will not be able to change the Lable of the RTE (that is "Text", when the Custom Item is in Edit Mode), but I hope that my users can understand that much.
I have created a template for portal pages. In the Template I can edit the Region Properties. When I edit the Region property of the region where I want to display my Custom Items. I get two Tabs on the top, Main and Attributes/Style. ON the main tab I can tell what type of region it should be, width etc, in my case it is item type region. And on the Attributes/Style tab, I can select from the availabe Attributes as which all Attributes I want to display. Here if i select only "Associated Functions" Attribute then normally portal should not render anything by default on the Page. It should rather make a call to the procedure which is associated with the Custom Item and as when I was creating the custom item type, I had clicked on "Display Procedure Results With Item", so portal should now display the result of my Procedure. So far it works without problem.
But the problem is that the Portal displays the text at its own also. As i have written that Portal should not display anything at its own, this doesn't work in this version of Portal for a Custom Item Type that is made using Base Text Item Type. For all others it has worked till now (I have create 50s of Custom item types).
You can better understand by going to the following URL. Just have a look between the two dotted lines (Dotted line is also a seperate Custom Item Type). Between the two Dotted Lines is a custom item, in general it would be a Custom News Item having title, image and so on.
http://sunnode1.edvz.sbg.ac.at:7778/portal/page?_pageid=79,56047&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
I have really programmed a lot with portal but now at this stage where I am near to end, I am getting problems which are coming from Product. I request you for help.

Problem using text element with type TEXT INCLUDE in smartforms

Hi,
I am working on smartform.
My requirement is to print the text which can range from 1 to 99 (free text). I am using TDNAME, TDOBJECT and TDID from STXH table and putting it in the fields Text Name, Text Object and Text ID of text element created with type "TEXT INCLUDE" in window in smartform.
It works Fine only when I put exact value of TDNAME in Text Name field.
But in my case TDNAME can vary according to value of AENNR from Table AENR.
So I am trying to use a variable called W_TDNAME and pass TDNAME value to it. I am putting this W_TDNAME in the field TEXT NAME. And it says "Inlcude text W_TDNAME does not exist".
HELP ME OUT.
ANSWERS WILL BE AWARDED..
Tushar

Hi Tushar,
When you see in Text name field, there is a small button at the end of that field. This is to switch the dynamic field value option on. Click that and use the format &field_name& to enter your variable in that field.

How to align text paragraphs with caption text boxes

Hello,
Im moving from QuarkXpress to InDesign, and Im setting up styles, templates, libraries, etc...
The issue Im having is that when I add an image with a text caption box in one of the columns, the text that wraps around the caption text box, no longer aligns to the other columns, its off. I can't get it to realign to the other columns.
Any help is appreciated.

1. Is the leading of your caption the same as the body text? If not, you have to choose to align the top of the first line (slightly jarring) or bottom of the last line.
2. It appears to me you have the caption vertically centred. That will make it far harder.
To make it feasible to do manually, you can set the caption box text frame to start at offset "Leading", move the text frame to start exactly at the bottom of the image, and make sure all your images' heights are multiples of your leading. Group the caption frame and the caption box to make moving around easier.
"Align to baseline" would be a good option, except that I find it too constricting on the entire rest of my designs (viz. the already observed "jump per entire line only"). One way around that is to set up your baseline grid to half, 1/3, or 1/4 of your leading. That way you have at least some control left over inter-paragraph whitespace, and you can still manually drag your images and have them snap to the closest "actual" baseline.

Cannot use text:TextField with dynamic text in 3.2

Hi, I have a multi-lang app which uses English LTR and Hebrew-Arabic RTL. I am using a properties file for each language, and I get the right item using resourceManager getString. Until 3.2 I had to reverse the order of the words in each item when using Hebrew (or Arabic for that matter). In 3.2 with the new Text layout framework, this is not needed (MAJOR IMPROVEMENT) but I cannot get it to work with dynamic text only static text. of course all works great if I upgarde to flex 4.0, and use the textBox component, but I do not want to do that, so late in the development phase of the application. Here is a small mxml which shows the problem: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:TryComps="appComponents.*" xmlns:text="flash.text.*"> <mx:Style source="css/flashTypeStyles.css"/> <mx:Script> import mx.resources.ResourceManager; </mx:Script> <mx:Label text="Using text:TextField FIXED : THIS WORKS"/>  <text:TextField text="עברית כותבים מימין לשמאל"/> <mx:Label text="Using text:TextField DYNAMIC : THIS DOES NOT WORK"/> <text:TextField text="{resourceManager.getString(Locales.LOCALE_BUNDLE,'BI_DIRECTIONAL_TEXT')}"/> </mx:Application> Any one has an idea ??? The 'BI_DIRECTIONAL_TEXT' is an entry in the property file which has the same value as the static text above. The run time error I get is : TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null. Thanks Eli7

If you look thru the TextField class in the help documents you will find all of the properties you can manipulate. One property is the wordWrap property which will keep you text from going off the side of the textfield. Another is multiline which will allow the textfield to have more than one line. And another is the autoSize property which will make your textfield adjust to fit the amount of text loaded into it.

Convert xml to fm: very slow with russian/greek text, fast with westeuropean text

Has somebody experienced a significant difference between opening a russian xml file compared to opening a file with westeuropean text?
We have german xml files, opening them in FM9 (as well in FM10) takes about 2 min. The same with finish, french, etc.
Opening the "same" file, translated into russian or greek takes about 50 min! Structure, attributes, file size are identical to the german file.
Thanks for your tipps and experiences

Michael,
thanks for your tips.
2 min is ok for us, the resulting fm document is about 400 pages long.
To have a very clean test environment, I created (in FM9) a new EDD from the DTD, and did not add any formatting rules at all. So the EDD only contains elements and attributes.
I imported the EDD into a new blank FrameMaker document.
What font is the template using? Does it have the glyphs required for Cyrillic and Greek texts?
Times New Roman. This works correct with cyr and gr documents with a size of 300 kB.
Is the EDD using references to catalog formats or does it work with Format Change Lists to create the formatting?
Currently, in my test edd, I have no formatting infos at all, only elements and attributes.
Is there some language attribute that may trigger some special formatting?
No.
Does the EDD come from pre-Unicode days and still tries to work with special Cyrillic or Greek fonts?
To avoid this, I created a new EDD from the DTD, and let it very blank, with no formatting information at all.

ALV print problems for reports with two sort fields and subtotal at each

When a report has two sort fields and subtotal at each of them, the print function is not working correctly. Please see the report below.
The second "" (single star) record (the 10 RL record) and the '*' (double star) record (the 12 RL record) are not printing.
This is happening for any standard SAP reports. Any resolution? Any OSS Notes?

Text Object with a Paramter Field in It

think I am losing my mind. I have a text object on my report for the 'From' and 'To' dates on a report. So that the spacing works between the words, I add a text object to my report and type the word "From" (without quotes). Then, I drag the start date into the field next to the word From. Then I type "To" and insert the ending date.
I right justify the contents of the field. I position the object on the right side of the report (not right at the margins about 1/4" in).
Just above this combined field, is a special field with the print date. It is also right justified and the two fields are right aligned.
The problem is when the report prints, the combined field isn't truly right justified. There are what appears to be extra spaces in it. The fields look similar to this...
02/20/2009
Report range 01/01/2008 to 12/31/2009
They should be perfectly aligned based on the CR layout. I have done some testing. If I remove the text and just leave the dates in the text object, I have the same results. It looks like it has something to do with the brackets that get placed around the parameter field when it is placed inside the text object.
Report range {?datdeb} to {?datfin}
Has anyone else run across this? I have noticed this on several of my reports and decided to try and find a solution.
Could it be a variable font issue? The problem goes away if I use Lucida Console (a fixed width font). It is somewhat better but not perfect with Verdana as the font. It is horrible when using Arial. I can't believe this is an issue that others have not run across. I searched the forum with no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Gilley Estes

With the help of one of our programmers, he suggested using a Trim function in case there were extra spaces in the field. So this is what I ended up doing.
Created a formula with the following:
"Report Range " + Trim (totext({?datdeb})) + " to " + Trim (totext({?datfin}))
?datedeb = beginning date parameter
?datefin = ending date parameter
By using the trim function, the extra spaces that were inserted into the field were removed.
Go figure! Oh well... At least there is a solution.
HTH someone in the future...

Couldn't forward the full text messages with two bullets

Hi -
I receive text messages which are broken into two bullets. Not sure Z10 does this or is this form the source. When I try to forward the message, it only allows me to forward second bullet.
Does anybody faced the same issue? Any clue?
Thanks,
Khan

Hi Sai-
I too am having problems getting this to work. I believe I have successfully indexed several documents, but when searching, my results aren't what I expect.
If I put an * in the text search field of CV04N, I get a list of documents. Maybe try that and see if any of your documents have been successfully indexed.
Do you get any results when you enter a * ?
If so, maybe it is the version of MS-Office and Adobe you are using? Here is a link I found for the supported versions:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/55/cb634114b78047e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
Also, could search on TREX server for the file: TREXValidMimeTypes.ini - ensure that MS-Word and PDF are included. (But I think they are.) I am trying to have it work with just .txt files created from Notepad for now.
Maybe we could work to together to get this working? I am now trying how to figure out how to get the delta indexing to work. That doesn't seem to work at all for me. (I thought because the green light for "automatic indexing" was turned on in SKPR07, it would index documents as they were checked in.
Hope it helps.

IS there a way to fix the issue with text list boxes where they shift (empty space is smaller than the text size) when two text lsit boxes are side by side?

Currently I have a webpage I designed for a company where I have multiple text list boxes side by side for the purpose of displaying data in each one based on a category in the database. So a text list box for the primary key, name, serial number, etc. I have to use Firefox as it typically works best for printing and functionality for the page. The single issue we are having is that in Firefox if the field is null as far as text the text are shrinks meaning all the data in that list box shifts up and is no longer in line with its congruent data in the other text list boxes. In other browsers that's not a problem and everything stays lined up regardless of whether there's text in the box or not.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a link but if contacted I will provide screen shots.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.
