Showing indesign document in iOS app.

Hi, I want to create iOS app which will display magazines but other then magazine pages i want to create login and some other pages. How can i show indesign document in app? DPS don't allows us to code and I haven't found any satisfactory answer for using indesign document in coding through xcode.

AFAIK InDesign SDK is meant for creating plug-ins for InDesign. It has nothing to do with cXode or even objective-C programming language which is used in xCode...
InDesign documents (indd-files) are compiled binary files, I don´t think you can parse them anyhow.
InDesign can be set to save preview images of the pages, that can be used for showing InDesign document´s pages inside some iOS viewer app, I think someone has already done somthing like that... but that´s about only way I can imagine to show InDesign document´s content inside iOS app...

How to show/hide an indesign document in cs4

Hi all,
How to hide/show an indesign document in cs4.
In cs3 , I am doing this using the following code --
IWindow* docWindow = Utils<IWindowUtils>()->GetFrontDocWindow( docRef.GetDataBase() );
//Schedule the command to show the layout window of original document in CS3
InterfacePtr<ICommand> showHideCmd (CmdUtils::CreateCommand( kShowHideWinCmdBoss ));
InterfacePtr<ICloseWinCmdData > closeWinCmdData (showHideCmd, IID_ICLOSEWINCMDDATA);
closeWinCmdData->Set( docWindow );
InterfacePtr<IIntData> iIntData (showHideCmd, IID_IINTDATA);
iIntData->Set( IWindow::kShow );
CmdUtils::ScheduleCommand( showHideCmd );
docWindow->BringToFront();
In cs4, there is an API kShowHidePresentaitonCmd
Code that i wrote for CS4 --
//Schedule the command to show the layout window of original document in CS4IDocumentPresentation* docWindow = Utils<IDocumentUIUtils>()->GetFrontmostPresentationForDocument( docRef.GetDataBase() );
InterfacePtr<ICommand> showHideCmd (CmdUtils::CreateCommand( kShowHidePresentationCmdBoss ));
InterfacePtr<IPresentationCmdData> presentationCmdData (showHideCmd, IID_IPRESENTATIONCMDDATA);
presentationCmdData->Set( docWindow );
InterfacePtr<IIntData> iIntData (showHideCmd, IID_IINTDATA);
iIntData->Set( 0 );                                       // What is the parameter that should be passed in the set function. 0 is not working
ErrorCode result = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand( showHideCmd );
Hide/show document in cs4 is not working

ErrorCode ShowHideDocument(IDocumentPresentation*docWindow, int32 nShowHide)
ErrorCode result = kFailure;
do
InterfacePtr<IControlView> controlView (docWindow, UseDefaultIID());
if(controlView == nil)
     break;
if(nShowHide == 0)
   controlView->Hide();

Submission to App Store Doesn't show Bundle ID from Flex iOS App

We built an iOS app using Flashbuilder 4.6 and Air 3.6. We provisioned iPads successfully and deployed to the devices. Everything worked great. When we attempted to submit the app to the Apple iTunes Connect didn't show our Bundle ID in it's drop down. This being the case, we were unable to submit the app.

thank you for answer but when i open my mac for the first time i can't update from app store and i download and install it manually from http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1715
but if i've already install then it should show that i've installed isn't it

How to show up all the open Apps in this new iOS 7?

Mine iPad2.
When i was on the previous iOS 6.. I could press on the home button and it will display all the opened up Apps. I could then close what ever Apps I wish to close.
Since updating to the latest iOS 7 I do not get opened up Apps displayed on pressing the devices home button. How could I get my iPad 2 to show up all the opened Apps? Double tap on the home button does not work in this new iOS 7.
Any clues
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Thanks so much this works. **** apple. Every time they update one has to learn how to do simple tasks all over. I appreciate you giving me/us the answer. By the way, I hate the new operating system. It ***** on all level. Icons look like they belong in a preschool.

I can't reset my iTouch. Whenever i try the power off just keeps showing. Just updated iOS to 4.3.3 and all the apps just won't work

Did you try to reset your iPod? The description of what yu did was not clear. To reset:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to restore the iPod from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Sync iOS Apps to iTunes - Questions on how exactly this works...

I'm going to put my questions up top, but my understanding of the current system is below, and may be relevant to the questions, if you'd like to read through it.
How can I back up / restore a SINGLE app, including its data (e.g. a game save file), to either iTunes or the cloud... or anything else for that matter. Does syncing an app to iTunes serve this purpose?
What IS the purpose of syncing an iOS app to iTunes? Does this sync include the data stored on my iOS device? For example, if I have a game in which I've made progress, is this progress stored on both my iPhone and my Mac once I've synced the app to iTunes?
If data IS synced along with the app, how is this data managed? Say I have two iPhones, both with the same game but different progress in each. If I sync iPhone A with iTunes, then sync iPhone B, will iPhone A's data overwrite iPhone B's? Or are there two versions of this app floating around on my mac?
If data is NOT synced along with the app, why on earth would I want a bunch of huge storage-hogging iOS apps that are identical to what I could download from the App Store taking up GIGABYTES of space on my MacBook's SSD?
And finally, should the answer to question 4 be "there is no reason to store 42GB worth of useless apps on your 256GB SSD alongside your already gigantic iOS device backup files," how would I go about removing these apps stored in iTunes without iTunes trying to delete them from my iOS device every time I want to sync some TV shows or podcasts?
My Understanding So Far:
Of the many things Apple has addressed and improved upon over the years, backing up iOS app data has strangely not been one of them. As I understand it, the only way to back up an app, including its data (e.g. the save data for a game), is to do a FULL backup of the ENTIRE device. The only way to restore an app, including the data that you backed up, is to restore the ENTIRE device, all other apps included, to a previous state.
The driving force behind these questions is that I'd like the option to delete an app from my iPhone when I'm finished with it - but I'd also like the option to re-download it in the future and pick up where I left off. In a perfect world, all these apps would automatically sync through iCloud or GameCenter, or at least have that option to "upload to iCloud" or "restore from iCloud." Even with these apps, I'm not entirely sure where the backed up files exist - somewhere on my iCloud drive separate from my iPhone backup, photos, contacts, etc? Is there a way to see a list of apps that are storing things in my iCloud drive, and even manage this data?
So if I wanted to back up an app's data that does NOT automatically back up to iCloud, it seems my only option would be to install one of the many 3rd party Mac <-> iOS data transfer apps, and copy the contents of the "Documents" folder to a designated directory on my Mac. Then I could delete the app off my iPhone. Say in the future I re-download the app - I'd use the same data transfer app to copy the backed-up data to the re-downloaded app's Documents folder, and we're back in business. The only downside is that if it's been a while and the app has undergone updates, this backed-up data might be corrupt or no longer relevant. Plus, it's kind of a hassle.
When I discovered iTunes was syncing my apps to my Mac, I thought it might be serving as a way to back up my apps, data included, to my computer. Okay, it seemed like a little overkill to sync the whole app along with the data, but when I discovered that you could UPDATE the apps within iTunes, I thought apple had solved the problem of storing backed-up data for out-of-date versions of an app - simply update the app in iTunes, it does what's necessary to your backed-up data, and when you want to put the app back on your iPhone, voila! Your old data's there, AND you've got the most recent version! But apparently this is not at all how iTunes app syncing works.
As I NOW understand it, when iTunes "syncs" an app to your Mac, it includes only the app's core data - the same as if you'd just downloaded it from the App Store, and it does so for EVERYTHING you've purchased, ever, whether or not it's on any of your iOS devices. I can see how this could be convenient if you live on a farm and want to restore an old app to your iPhone without an internet connection, but I don't think it's worth, unexaggerated, a FIFTH of my hard drive. Worse, I can't figure out how to get rid of them.
TL;DR
So, if you're still with me, what is the purpose of iTunes App Sync, and if it's as useless as I think it is, how do I get rid of it for good?

You can upgrade to Snow Leopard and skip over Leopard, and only upgrade to Lion later if wanted/needed. snow Leopard specs/requirements below.

Adobe Air + Box2D.swc = TypeError: Error #1009 // New way to handle .swc files in Flash for iOS Apps?

Hi,
I need your help please - I have to update one of my iOS Apps. In this App I use Box2d for a simple maze game (it's an app for kids). When I publish & test this game on my Mac it works fine. I can drag my Hero (fish) through this Maze and all collision detections, gravity etc. work perfect.
When I test it on my iPad it doesn't work. The device debugger shows this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at misc::Entity/handleAddedToStage()
Line 31: loader = new CLibInit();
I guess "CLibInit" should come from the .swc file.
The thing is:
I didn't change anything in this maze game - it seems this has to do something with the new Flash and/or Adobe Air version. Box2D.swc file is included:
It always worked like this - and it works when testing it on my Mac - but it is no longer working on my current system.
So I started my Mac from an older system (10.9.5 on an external HD) and published the App from Flash CS6 and Adobe Air 13.0 - then it suddenly worked on my iPad as before. I was able to tap an the fish and drag it arround.
The same project / app published from my current OS X 10.10 + Flash CC 2014 + Adobe Air 15.0.0.302 is not working. I always receive this Error Message - I can not drag the fish - nothing happens. And I have no idea why this happens and what else I could do. I searched the whole day for a solution but didn't find anything.
So did anything change by the way Flash and/or Air handles .swc files? Is there an other way to include: import cmodule.Box2D.* / CLibInit ?
Please - if anyone has a clue - please let me know!!
Best regards
Jan

Update:
There is also an Android Version of this App. I just published and tested a new version of it on my kindle fire & Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. On both Tablets the maze works perfect. I'm able to drag the fish around etc.
Then I published this Android Version for iOS and tested it on my iPad. Again I'm getting the Error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

...and the fish is stuck - I can't drag it - nothing happens. So this error only occurs when I publish the App for iOS - as an .ipa. Did anything change in the way Air handles .swc files?
I'm totally confused
If anybody has an idea what I could try - PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

Stuck parsing an InDesign document, extracting data to an XML file

Hi,
I have an indesign document of a newspaper page (1 spread + 1 page) with some articles (title, body, img, img caption) and ads (img). I need to parse this and create an XML file from which data can be stored into a mysql db. The db handling is already programmed.
The xml file will have this structure (page = root):
<page>
     <article>
          <title>Title</title>
          <content>Lorem ipsum</content>
          <img title=""></img>
     </article>
     <ad>
          <img title=""></img>
     </ad>
</page>
The .indd file is created using the Smart Layout plugin from WoodWing software. When trying to print the "TextFrames>Texts>contents" the textframes that use the smart layout plugin do not show, they seem to be not included in the data model of the app. That's why I went another route, and parsed "Stories>Texts>contents". I can get all the text objects of the page, including the articles that are created using the smart layout plugin. Among these objects are article title's and article bodies. The problem is I don't know which title belongs to which body, so I can't create a new article node in the XML. I have exported the orignal file as IDML and browsed the spread and the stories, but I see no way to link article titles (textframe), article bodies (textframe) and images (contained by rectangles) together.
Is there a way to solve this?
Setup:
InDesign CS4 .indd documents
Win2k8 server
JavaScript (via ExtendScript toolkit)
InDesignServer CS5.5 (64bit) (want to use this)
SmartLayout plugin (installs @ InDesignServer CS5.5 32bit. This 32bit InDServer does not start, it has missing dll's).

I am building something similar, and I have much of it working. Respond here if you're still interested, and hopefully I'll see it!

Changes to Numbers document on iOS get discarded

I was happily updating my spreadsheet with Numbers on my iPad 3. Then I opened the document in iCloud but the latest changes to my document weren't there. So, I closed the document at icloud.com and went back to my iPad. The latest changes to my Numbers document were completely erased from the iPad as well! There was absolutely no warning of conflicts and I didn't edit the spreadsheet in icloud.com at all!
What makes this happen and what to do to avoid this?

Now those changes aren't showing up in the same document on my iMac.
of course not. iwork on Mac does not even know that icloud exists. Syncing of iwork files is only active in iOS devices, not for Mac.
How can I accomplish this task?
navigate from mac to www.icloud.com , go to the iwork section, up- or download your file :
After editing a downloaded document, you must re-upload it, else the iOS doesn't get the changes . The browser is the missing link, because as I said : iwork on Mac has no cloud integration - none. You can also use Microsoft or Open-Office, it just does not matter.. Basically you would not even have to have iwork09 installed, only those ios apps.

Create a iPhone 5 iOs app from a Digital Publishing Suite folio

I had the single DPS edition that I upgrade to Enterprise in order to make iPhone iOs app from InDesign Folio. I did a iPad single App before with the DPS single edition now I want iPhone
but I can not manage to create a iPhone 5 iOs app from a Digital Publishing Suite from a folio made on Adobe inDesign CS6 with iPhone 5 Resolution 1 136 x 640 pixels.
Question :
is this possible and how to do it (i tried so many ways)
if not i just want to understand what is it really possible to do with DPS on iPhone ...

You use App Builder to create an application with both iPad and iPhone checked on the first page. Then you publish your two folios by going to http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/. The viewer will automatically show the right size one in the library for each device.
It is not possible to have only one folio for each format that launches directly. The only way to get content onto an iPhone with DPS is to do a multi-issue ("multiple publication") application.

Export Indesign Document to Incopy Document

Hi,
I need to export the Indesign Document(.indd) to Incopy Document(.incx).I have used the following code
app.documents[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.INCOPY_DOCUMENT, File("C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS3/Scripts/test/Input_Output/test.incx"), false);
But it shows error like "The specified object doesn't support the desired export format".
Please suggest me.
Regards
Kumar

Could you send me a sample document (askoldich [at] yahoo [dot] com) so I could recreate the problem? I wrote this script for our own workflow and it has been working for us without any problems for about 9 months — probably your documents have a different set up than ours — I'd like to see what causes the error .

AiO Remote iOS app -scanning A4

I have a Photosmart 5515 All in One printer and have been using the iOS app AiO Remote app to scan in some A4 pages. I set the app to scan to a document and also the page size to A4. Looking at the resultant document it has scaled the the document down. It has centralised the document but you end up with margins of a couple of inches all round.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Hi Rturner003,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you are encountering difficulties when scanning A4 documents with HP's All-in-One Printer Remote app.
I did some testing on this with an iPad and 3 different ePrint capable printers and each time I was able to recreate it. However that doesn't mean we are kippered. I have included a link to a post on the forums and the key part for you to get your A4 scanned document to print the document as you require, please follow step 3 after you have scanned the image. The key is to pinch the image to the size you would like.

Can I use iCloud storage for iOS apps?

Hello,
I'm trying to work out if it's possible to use iCloud to save/load data across devices with iOS apps created using Air.
I know there is a lot of talk about now meeting the Apple data storage guidelines eg http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/11/air-ios-solving-apps-must-follow-ios.html
What I can't understand is if I actually want to use iCloud to save data a user has created in my app (ie condition 1 of the storage guidelines - user generated data, cannot be re-created by application).
If I was to save this user data to the <Application>/Documents directory...
a) would it be backed up by iCloud and meet Apples requirements?
b) if my application was installed on another device is there any way, using Air/AS3, to know that a file has been updated and read the file?
Please let me know if this doesn't make sense... still trying to get my head around how it all works.
Thanks.
