Selecting All Images in a Document over multiple pages

Hello,
Is there anyway to select all the images in a document, not just a spread.
For example, if I want to apply an object style to every image.
I can only do one page (spread) at a time
There was a post out there that started like this, but started talking about converting to outlines, so this part was never answered.
I was teying to find something through GREP, but nothere there either.
Is this possible?
thanks

Oh bait. I like bait.
for (a=0; a<app.activeDocument.allGraphics.length; a++)
     if (app.activeDocument.allGraphics[a].imageTypeName in {"JPEG":0, "PNG":0, "TIFF":0, "Windows Bitmap":0, "CompuServe GIF":0, "Photoshop":0})
app.activeDocument.allGraphics[a].parent.appliedObjectStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.item("test");
//     else
//          alert (app.activeDocument.allGraphics[a].imageTypeName);
.. and perhaps some more raster formats -- I don't know exactly which types ID distinguishes by name. You can find the type name per image in the Info palette -- it doesn't seem to differentiate between TIF and TIFF, for example. "Photoshop" is any PSD file.
An Illustrator file is tagged "Adobe PDF" (not weird, if you know how it works), and a placed InDesign page as "InDesign". Didn't find a real EPS quick enough to test that as well, but you could try.
If you remove the comment slashes from the 'else' part the script will show an alert for the image types it did not change.
All of these types are distinguished by type name only, you cannot check for a PDF only containing a single raster image, or a PSD containing vector info.

Does cs6 allow you to select ALL frames in a document?

I am doing a wedding book. So I have many image frames on each page.
I want to add a border (stroke) to all these frames. But to my surprise, it appears that the Select All command only selects the frames in the current spread. I did a bit of research here and on the net and it seems that, at least for the previous versions, there is no way to select all frames in a document. This seems very odd to say the least.
Does cs6 allow you to do this now? Or is there a workaround to quickly add a stroke to all frames in a document?
Thank you for any help.

Unfortunately no, but there's a trick you can use. Shapes drawn with the sahpe tool DO accept default settings, so you can use the shape tools instead of the frame tools and place images in them, but that probably doesn't help you at this point.
It actually should be pretty easy to apply an object style to all frames by script -- one or two lines I would think. You can ask over in InDesign Scripting
It might also be possible to use find/change. I just checked, and yes, you can search for the [None] object style and change all, so that may be the best approach.

PCM Search document over multiple project

Hi,
Need to be able to search for document over multiple project. Search option is not available when selecting "All projects". Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
Stephane

Unfortunately, you cannot search across multiple projects. Contract Manager will allow you to run reports across multiple projects but does not have the ability to search across multiple projects from within the application. You can contact support and have then enter this as a feature enhancement for consideration in future version of CM.

In finder do I need to delete all images as I have over 10000

in finder do I need to delete all images as I have over 10000

Depends on the size of your hard drive.
Good practice indicates keeping at least 15% (or 5GB, whichever is larger) of the hard drive unused, to allow the OS to use it for swap files, virtual memory needs, etc. When your drive gets more full than that odd things can start happening - sluggish behavior, program crashes, etc.
If you are short of hard drive space, by all means dispose of as many files as you can which you don't need on that drive. Either archive them off and then trsh the originals; or just trash the ones you no longer need. Don't forget to empty the trash after dropping things into it - until the trash has been emptied, anything placed in it is not yet gone.
If you are not short of hard drive space, don't worry about it. Just becuase you have a lot of files means little - it is the effect of the space they occupy, not the quantity, that may be of concern.
I have over 50,000 image files on my Snow Leopard volume. They occupy about 29GB of drive space. Since that volume has about 500GB of capacity, the space those files consume is not of concern. There is no deleterious effect resulting from their presence on the drive.

In mini bridge is there a key stroke to "select all" images?

Hello,
In mini bridge is there a key stroke to “select all” images? I’d prefer a key stroke instead of having to use the View drop down menu to select all, and "Ctl A" doesn't do anything.
Thank you.

Select a message in the mailbox or highlight a mailbox, then keys command-a to select all.

HP Officejet 6500A How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file?

HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n

How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file? My old printer (psc 2110) asked after each scan if I wanted to scan another page. At the end I had one pdf file with multiple pages.
This new one creates one file for each page and I cannot find a way to create one pdf file with multiple pages.
This question was solved.

Hi mpw101,
If you load the papers into the ADF - Automatic Document Feeder, and then select Document to PDF then they will all be scanning into one file. Let me know if this works for you?

I try to 'Print booklet' and receive an eror that "the active document uses multiple page sizes..."

I try to 'Print booklet' and receive an eror that "the active document uses multiple page sizes..." but all the pages on my document are in the same size (as far as I know)
How can I deal with this eror?

This seems to be a bug, and so far the only workaround I know is to copy/paste everything into a new file.

How do I run a table over multiple pages?

Hi I write TV scripts using a simple two column table which can be many rows long - how can I get Pages to automatically run the table over multiple pages whilst still allowing me to cut and paste and rearrange the script? This is simple in Word and must work in pages but I can't work out how to get it to work. I've tried looking at the Page Break feature but it won't come up from the table?
many thanks

At this time, There is no way to drive tables in Pages with AppleScript.
Do your job in Numbers which allow that.

Add captions to all images in a document

Does anyone already have a script that will add captions to all the images in a document? Right now I have to select each image on each spread which doesn't feel very efficient.

Hi Sandee!
Would that be using CS5's automatic caption function, or just "captions in general"?
If the latter, I s'pose it's not too hard to write a quick & dirty script to add a text frame below (above?) each image, sets its width to the image size, sets the height to a reasonable amount, optionally add an object style to it, and (for instance) copy the image file name into it so you know what you're talking about.
If the former ... anyone else?

IPAD3 - Pages: A document I've imported to Pages, has a table. Information in this table doesn't wrap over multiple pages, as it does in Word

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm producing meeting minutes, which have all the actions presented in a table. For some of these actions, as they are so long, they span multiple pages. Once I imported the document into Pages, it drops the table off the title row of the table, and then moves it to the next page. It also doesn't extend the information in the cell onto the 3rd page, it just hides it behing the next cell, which is on the next page.
All the help links I've found give clear instructions as to how it can be done from a Mac, but I'm working off an IPad3.
Please help...?

The version of Pages for iPad is kind of a stripped down version of the Mac version. The iPad version has a terrible time with tables. And if you import a doc from your Mac or PC Pages will try to make it as close as possible to the original but you will see some changes and if you have tables they do tend to get all messed up. This has been my experience at least. This is why when I need to be able to work from a doc from my PC on my iPad I try to use OnLive or OnCloud (I am a Windows user)
Or I try to use QuickOffice which does a pretty good job of importing docs and not messing up the formatting.

HT201317 How do I select all images in Photo Stream without selecting them individually?

Rather than selecting 1000 images individually is there a way to select all of them in one hit?

iCloud only keeps photos in your photo stream for 30 days, but they will remain on your iPad (up to 1000 photos) until you delete them. I believe Apple TV will only display the photos that are still in your photo stream, not photos earlier than 30 days ago.
If the older photos are on your iPad, you could always open them on your iPad and use AirPlay to display them on your Apple TV.

How to select all objects in a document?

AI newbie question:
I have an active document with two linked files, I need to select both of these in a script and embed both. Then I will be selecting these separate and performing various actions on each.
In JavaScript, once I have the document object how can I select both linked files/items?
Thanks,
Dave

This will select all your linked files in the active document and embed them:
* a slight modification *
for(i = app.activeDocument.placedItems.length - 1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
app.activeDocument.placedItems[i].selected = true;
app.activeDocument.placedItems[i].embed();
cheers;

How do you stretch an image over multiple pages?

I need to print a large picture, one that will be 30x30 inches. I need to print multiple pages with the image cut up but when I try to resize the image to make it bigger, Pages doesn't create a new page, it just runs the image off the page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Pages will accept custom page sizes of 30x30 (or even larger), but then you're faced with the problem of finding a printer that will handle that size of paper.
OTOH, if you move you're project to Numbers, you can:
Open a "Blank" template.
Use the Metrics Inspector to set the Sheet size to 30" by 30"
Click on the Table in the sidebar to select it.
Press Delete.
You'll be left with a 30x30 (or larger) blank slate on which you can place Text boxes, Shapes and graphics objects (including your large picture).
Thanks to Yvan, who has been mentioning the use of a Numbers sheet as a canvas foe some time now.
Regards,
Barry
