Table of contents file not taking book files into account

Hi everyone,
I've used Indesign's book panel to manage the chapters in a book that I've typeset. I set up the table of contents style (in a TOC document which is part of the books panel) and made sure that it used all the book chapters when compiling the table of contents by checking the option in the TOC styles diaglogue box.
For some reason, the table of contents is ignoring all of the styles in the chapter files so it's not including anything in the table of contents other than a few headings that are within the file that contains the table of contents.
I'm noticing that Indesign is creating a whole lot of duplicate files with a string of numbers appended to the file name, eg.
Newbook_Cha531549083577
These seem to duplicates of the chapter files but I have no idea why Indesign is creating them so I'm wondering whether I've got some corruption happening and whether this may be causing the problem with the table of contents.
Has anyone had a similar problem and if yes, is there any solution?
Really appreciate any advice.

Peter,
I'm having the same problem as gwh. The TOC won't go beyond the first document. All my style names are the same. I don't have style groups.
To make the book I began with one long document that included all the chapters. I broke it into chapters by copying and pasting into new .indd documents (each one created by Save As from the first) and adding all those documents to the book.
Generating the TOC from the one long .indd document works perfectly. I just can't get it to generate from the book (.indb) doc.
I have all the documents in the book open. I have the first one active (in front). I generate the TOC, and I get only the entries for the first document. Here's a screenshot of my TOC box. I must be missing something really simple, huh? (I'm using CS5)

Dynamic availability check not taking reservation accumulation into account

We have 2 production orders for which the availability check had been done and situation is
Finished good has 1 component and the Plant stock of the component is 99 EA.No other receipts are in place.
Order1 is for quantity of 100 EA
Order2(at a later date than order1) is 1 EA
Post availaility check using COHV, Order1 is confirmed for 99 EA and is with MACM status and order2 has no commitment and is with MSPT status.
Dynamic availability check for CO27 in OMCP config points to the same checking rule we used during the intial material availabillity check.
In the Movement type config 261 movement type is assigned to dynamic avl.check - F Message in any case: E mess. for non-avail., otherw. S mess.
When we execute CO27 individually for the orders we can trap the error as per availability check commitments as we have seen earlier.
But when we try to input both orders together in CO27 and do a pick list confirmation the second order gets the component issue with the first one not getting posted (expected to be partially to the tune of 99 EA) thereby violating the availability check results ultimately.
Request your help in knowing whether this is the SAP design or am i missing some thing else?

How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
        String string;
        try {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
            char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
            br.close();
            string= sb.toString();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jing

You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.

TS1424 I purchased and downloaded a book in iBooks. I read about 16 chapters. The next time I opened the app to read the book, no words loaded on the pages. It would go to the table of contents, but not to pages in chapters. Any ideas?

Try to reset your phone, hold the home/sleep buttons until it reboots and the apple logo appears, don't release the buttons till apple logo appears. If no luck there, Resync the book. Or delete it and redownload it. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

Why does InDesign interactives table of contents does not always work in page mode ?

I'm working on a large document (400 pages) made of 12 Indesign documents in a book. When I export the entire book in one interactive pdf file, some the elements from the interactive table of content do not work. When I export the file as «spread», everything works, when I export the file in «pages» some elements loose their interactivity.
I'm on CS6 on Mac.
(Sorry for my English)
Any solution anyone ?

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

I understand the confusion. Those tracks are royalty free to the owner of the tracks, yes. The terms of use of the iTunes Store still state, though, that all purchases are for your own personal use and cannot be used commercially:
USAGE RULES
1. You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
They're probably fine for presentations in a class or to a group at your company, but you probably could not post the presentation or a video using these tracks on a public site. I'm no lawyer, though, to legally define what would and would not constitute "noncommercial". It's probably best to just buy your tracks directly from one of these sites of royalty-free music. Then the use license should be completely clear.

Public Holiday calendar not to be taken into account for Sick Leave

Dear All,
I need help.
Public Holiday calendar not to be taken into account for Sick Leave.
Eg -When I employee applies for sick leave, the public holiday in between the dates shouldnt be considered. How can I configure this requirement.
Please help.
Regards,
Poornima

For that group, you need 2 counting rules:
- one for Holiday Class 0 (not a public holiday) and Day Work Schedule Class 0 (not a working day)
- one for Holiday Class 0 (not a public holiday) and Day Work Schedule Class 1 to 9 (a working day)
If you want, you can add an other one or two for Holiday Class 1 to 9 (public holiday)

How to Create a Table of Contents From an Imported PDF File?

I have imported a 150 page PDF file into inDesign 5. I want to create a Table of Contents for my document, but there are no paragraph or heading styles in the document. If I built the document in inDesign, I would have labeled each chapter "Heading 1" and then instructed inDesign to collect up all the Heading 1s and make a TOC automatically.
But I didn't create this PDF, it has no formatting at all. Its just been placed in the inDesign document space.
Anyone have any tips of how I can pick out all the Chapter headings.....they are in a distinctive format (14 point bold) from the rest of the document text.
Anyone?

InDesign cannot read *anything* out of a PDF file.
Open in Acrobat, copy heading, paste in InDesign. Repeat until done.

Table of contents placeholder not working?

So far, everything is working well. I have my book about ready to go, but I need to customize the table of contents. There is a placeholder on each TOC page that as far as I can tell from the Help files, you can drop an image there. However, I can't seem to get it to work. Dropping anything there simple seems to place it on top of the placeholder, not "in" it. How is this done? or is it meant for something else?
Thanks.

My analysis on the Image Placeholder for the TOC page has resulted in the following conclusions.
You ARE able to include any image on each of the chapter pages in the TOC
In order for a chapter page in the TOC to have its own separate image, you must define one of your images in the Chapter Layout for that chapter to have a tag of "Main Image." If you do not have an image in your Chapter Layout defined as "Main Image," then you cannot drag an image into the Media Placeholder for that Chapter in the TOC.
To define an image with a "Main Image" tag
Select the Chapter Layout
Select an Image
Go to Layout tab in the Inspector
Select "Editable on Pages using this Layouy"
Set the tag to "Main Image"
The corresponding chapter page in the TOC will now have that image in the Media Placeholder
You are NOT limited to having the same image in your TOC that is on the Chapter Layout. You can now change the image in the Media Placeholder on that chapter page in the TOC by dragging an image on to it
Let me know if this works for everyone.
Cheers,
Jim

Table of Contents will not export to PDF

CS3: I have an InDesign Book with 10 documents in it. The first document is the Table of Contents which was created using ID's TOC feature.
When I go to export that document to PDF, it acts like it's working, but the PDF is not made. There is no trace of a PDF in the folder.
If I delete the Table of Contents text the file will make a PDF.
If I try to export the entire book, the whole process just crashes.
I tried exporting the doc to .inx (which I was able to do) and make the PDF and the same thing happens.
Of course, this is a 300 page book and I'm on a deadline...
The book also has bookmarks and hyperlinks throughout -- not sure if that would cause a problem
Thanks for any thoughts! Jodi

There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.
