Refreshing frame error in indesign document

Hi,
I have this strange error that approx. every 10 seconds the frame refreshes.
When I select a font for instance it refreshes before I can select one. Same with all other tools.
I turned off the 'preflight document' but that doesn't resolve it.
It only happens with one certain document.
Luckily not with all documents so it must be some kind of setting or maybe even a font....
I hope someone has some tips for where to look to get rid of this problem.
T.i.a.
Bert.

I turned it off completely but it still isn't fixed.
The strange thing is that it only happens with 1 document.
So maybe a font is causing this, but never experienced a problem like this before.

Script for replacing Image from a frame into InDesign document file

Hi All,
I am having an indesign document (indd) file with images and texts. I am using InDesign Server CS4 to run the scripts via SOAP.
My requirement is to replace any of the images from the required frame/s of indesign document through scripting (I already have frame id of which image needs to be replaced). I have written written java-script file (as given below): but when I execute this java-script on InDesign Server via SOAP, I get follwoing error into InDesign Server:

Following is the java-script that is being used for replacing image from indd's frame:

var tmp_frmid="1339"; //frame id of which image needs to be replaced.
for (var i=0;i<myDocument.pages.length;i++)
var objPage=myDocument.pages.item(i);
var objPageitems = objPage.pageItems;
try

obj.images[0].remove;
obj.appliedObjectStyle = null;
var myImage=obj.place(File('//Server_IP_Address/Images_to_be_reolaced_Path/ImageFile.jpg'));

var new_width = obj.geometricBounds[1] + ((new_height / old_height) * old_width);
myImage.geometricBounds = [obj.geometricBounds[0] + "mm", obj.geometricBounds[1] + "mm", obj.geometricBounds[2] + "mm", new_width + "mm"];
var diff = obj.geometricBounds[1] - myImage.geometricBounds[1];
myImage.move( undefined, [diff,0] );

myDocument.close();
I have very urgent requirement; if anyone have any idea; please suggest me. \
It would be highly appreciable.

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

Hi There, cannot open an InDesign document in CS3. Getting Plugin errors

I have a InDesign document created in CS4. I cannot access the file from a computer with CS3. I get a lot of plugin errors at the start up.
Please help as this is a very important document

@Naga Sai J – you cannot open an InDesign CS4 file in the previous version.
But you can export an exchange file format for InDesign CS3.
Go to File/Export and chose INX for export: "InDesign CS3 Interchange-Format (INX)"
That .inx file could be opened with InDesign CS3.
After opening the .inx file, examine it well!
Some things might have changed (things regarding to newer or changed features from InDesign CS4).

You're probably better off raising this in the SDK forum.

[IDCS2]How to move the Snippet in a folder inside the Indesign Document Using Script?

Hi
How should i move all the snippet objects in a folder in to an Indesign Document using Javscript?
Thanks
myriaz

Once you have the snippet in your document, how do you move it/select it? My snippet is a text frame with a table in it.
This does NOT work:
var myFoot = myDocument.pages.item(0).place("Hard Drive:Users:Casey:Desktop:footer.INDS")
myFoot = myFoot[0]
myFoot.geometricBounds = ["1", "1", "1", "1"]
The snippet gets placed, but my error says "Object does not support the property or method 'geometricBounds'. This code works for normal images I place.

Content Generation Error in InDesign

"Content Generation Error" in InDesign-every time I try to preview my document I get the following message:[Error: The assets for one or more overlays could not be located. Verify the assets used are available on disk, then update the article.]. Everything was working fine perfectly just the other day when all I did was preview it in InDesign. I can't think of anything that I could have done to ruin it. All my links appear to be fine, and so far I've gone through and stripped most of the document to find the problem but it won't work unless I take out 99 percent of the document. It seems to have multiple issues and appears to be an entire corrupted document rather than just a few issues with MSOs. The document consists of five pages with vertical and horizontal layouts and I have slideshows, scrollable frames, and multi-state objects but no audio.

That was the first thing I tried because obviously I wanted to find out if it was a problem with my file or a general issue with all uploads to that folio. It seems to be working ok now, although I still have no idea what the problem was and I have never seen that error message before :s
Thanks for your response.

Place graphic in InDesign document via Excel sheet

Hi,
I'm new to scripting in InDesign, but need to work on my skills;)
In school, I already gathered some basic skills in JavaScript, therefore JavaScript is my choice to write a script for InDesign. Even though the environment is Mac OS X and InDesign CS3, AppleScript might be easier to code in?
Here is the problem:
An Excel sheet contains a list of names of .eps files generated from SAP. My goal is to create a script that loads the .eps files in this sheet from the location they're saved into the InDesign document and place them in the designated frames.
My first question: Is this even possible?
Currently I'm testing and reading some manuals and refernces, but I would be happy for every tiny bit of hint or help or how to get started, so, thanks a lot for your help in advance!
Greets,
Alex

Thank you for your help!
After playing around some time, I figured out, it would be easier for me to do an XML Import using a XSLT file.
Unfortunately the XML file generated by Excel is very complex, so I have some issues to extract the needed content.
Has anybody experience in handling the Microsoft Excel XML?
Here is the XML:
<Row>
<Cell ss:StyleID="s23">
<Data ss:Type="String"/>
<NamedCell ss:Name="DATA1"/>
<NamedCell ss:Name="TESTKEYS"/>
<NamedCell ss:Name="TEST0"/>
</Cell>
<Cell ss:StyleID="s23">
<Data ss:Type="String">4</Data>
<NamedCell ss:Name="DATA2"/>
<NamedCell ss:Name="TESTKEYS"/>
<NamedCell ss:Name="TEST0"/>
</Cell>
<Cell ss:StyleID="s23">
<Data ss:Type="String">1</Data>
<NamedCell ss:Name="TESTKEYS"/>
<NamedCell ss:Name="DATA3"/>
<NamedCell ss:Name="TEST0"/>
</Cell>
<Cell ss:StyleID="s21">
<Data ss:Type="String">A63027A01BL</Data>
<NamedCell ss:Name="DATA4"/>
<NamedCell ss:Name="TEST0"/>
</Cell>
</Row>
And this is my XSLT, which just generates the complete content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes" xmlns:err="http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors" xmlns:zuf="http://www.beispiel.com/zuf/3.0" xmlns:pri="http://www.pmn.net/prn/PntI" xmlns:ws="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet">
 <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

 <Bild>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="Data">
 </xsl:apply-templates>
 </Bild>
 </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="Workbook/Worksheet/Table/Row/Cell/NamedCell[@ss:Name='DATA4']">

How to import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
I created an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
So my question is the following:
How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
number of XML files could be unknown.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

CS3:How to link a file to a InDesign document?

Hello all, I looked at in the LinkWatcher sample code to get an idea how to link a file to a document, I came up with the code below, the last line of code needs pageitemUID instead of pageUID which I used it here: IDFile outFile = Utils<ImyUtils>()->getMyFile(); // it reads the file InterfacePtr<IDataLinkHelper> dataLinkHelper(::CreateObject2<IDataLinkHelper>(kDataLinkHelperBoss)); InterfacePtr<IDataLink> dataLinkNew(dataLinkHelper->CreateDataLink(outFile)); IDocument* theFrontDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument(); IDataBase* database = ::GetDataBase(theFrontDoc); InterfacePtr<IDocument> piDoc(theFrontDoc, UseDefaultIID()); InterfacePtr<IPageList> pageList(piDoc, UseDefaultIID()); UID pageUID(kInvalidUID); if (pageList->GetPageCount() > 0) { pageUID = pageList->GetNthPageUID(0); } // I try to link the file to the front document, although it say pageitemUID, as a second //parameter, but I don't want to link the file to a particular page item. is this a right thing to do? int32 result = dataLinkHelper->AddDataLink(database,pageUID, dataLinkNew); as I execute the code it doesn't add the file in Link palette in CS3, but when I pass a UID of one page item such as text frame, it will add the name of file to link palette with a "1" comes to end of row that shows how many times this file was included in the frame. but in case I have not a page item can I use the pageUID instead ? Thanks In Advance, Mor

Lee,
Sorry I think I didn't use the right terminology, somehow I want to include/link the file (not with menu item 'place') programmatically in my current open Indesign document, then I expect to see the filename in Link palette. I can do this with linking to a page item in doc but I don't want to assign it to a particular page item, rather I want to assign it to doc. Is any approach to do it?
Thanks again,
Mor

My PDFs with form fields get "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." on anothers computer, PC and MAC

Im creating PDFs through InDesign and using Acrobat Pro 9 to add fields. I save them to allow ADobe Reader people to use them. Everything works fine on Pro and Reader on my end with a PC as well as someone elses PC. But one person using Mac said some forms work and some dont. Those that dont get the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Ive resaved them and made sure they work and same problem. There is nothing overly coplex about the PDFs either, a date field at the most. They are using Reader 9.1.
I found out the other day that one person who can open them adds info to them saves them and send over to that other person and cannot open any of them after they have been edited, same error. He even tried on a PC and still gets it.
I dont know what to do. I know it has to be on his end and not mine. What else can I suggest to him??

It sounds like they are using an earlier version of Acrobat or Reader, though you said Reader 9.1. If you add some features in AA9 that are new, it appears that earlier versions see the new features as damaged files. At least that is my guess. Try using Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize to save to an earlier version and see if that helps. The other option is that you are getting them messed up in e-mail because many client look at PDF files as ascii and do not encrypt them. In that case force the encryption. You can also send them in ZIP form.

An error occur indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I am having trouble with adobe indesign CS5. Each time I opened my document an error occur indesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. It got send report and don't send report to Microsoft. I have already used google web as a help and nothing came up. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it but still same issue occured. Other Adobe products such as Adobe Dreanweaver CS5 and Adobe Flash CS5 work fine.I would greatly appreciated if you can walk me through. Thanks.

Windows error reports are too vague to help us much. Did you get an error number?
Is this happening now every time you start ID? That would likely mean the recovery data is damaged. You can find the InDesign Recovery folder in your user profile. This folder is probably hidden, so you'll need to set Windows Explorer to show hidden and system files, then look in the same directory as the location of InDesign Defaults, which you can find for your version of Windows in the information in this link: Replace Your Preferences
Once you find the InDesign Recovery folder, either rename or empty it, then ID should start normally. If you file crashes again when you try to open it from the file menu please tell us as much information as you can.
