Text and elements disappear in CS4 InDesign.

I have 2 8.5x11 Indesign CS4 docs that I tried to place in one 11x17 doc side by side. Text and linked graphics disappear. Why?
Thanks

XML StAX - How to extract text and elements?

Hello,
I'm using StAX to parse this XML document (heavily reduced):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html>
<head>
 <title>Foo</title>
</head>
<body>
 loading ...
</body>
</html>I need to extract the data between the <body> element i.e "loading...". My problem is that I can only find methods that extracts the text and not the elements. Is there an easy way to do this using the XMLStreamReader instance, or do I have to use another class?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. But does that really mean that I have to create my own method, which will collect both text and elements information in a StringBuffer as I parse through the enclosing element? I just think it is strange that there isn't a convenient method to extract all data (text & elements) between one element.
Something like this?:
private void handleBody(XMLStreamReader parser,XMLEventAllocator allocator) throws XMLStreamException {
 StringBuffer body = new StringBuffer();
 while(true){
 String value = null;
 parser.next();
 if (parser.getEventType() == XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT){
 String name = parser.getLocalName();
 if (!name.equalsIgnoreCase("body")){
 StartElement startElement = getXMLEvent(allocator,parser).asStartElement();
 value = startElement.toString();
 else if (parser.getEventType() == XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT){
 String name = parser.getLocalName();
 if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("body")){
 break;
 else{
 EndElement endElement = getXMLEvent(allocator,parser).asEndElement();
 value = endElement.toString();
 else if (parser.hasText()){
 value = parser.getText();
 if (value != null){
 body.append(value);
 }

Cannot view content text and elements in Dreamweaver

Hi,
I am not an expert in Dreamweaver, still learning. Would anyone tell me why when I open up the template in Dreamweaver's design view I cannot see the content text and other elements to edit or view? However, all those are still viewable in browsers. I can edit content only through code mode in Dreamweaver, not in design view. I am attaching the whole template for you to see.
I would greatly appreciate your feedbacks.
Ed

Found it in the last line of the code, it's a Joomla template.
The only real way to use this with dreamweaver is with one of the extensions for dreamweaver (not 100% required, but difficult without one), there are a number of extensions available (sorry, but none are free that I know of).
Try - http://www.justdreamweaver.com/dreamweaver-joomla-tools.html , or do a search for Joomla and dreamweaver extension.

Rollover text and images in Captivate CS4

Hi All,
I am trying to create a rollover image and rollover caption that both appear at the same time when I move over a particular area of my slide. In my example below i want to rollover the arm of the body and have the text and the image appear at the same time. I have tried to put the 2 rollover areas over each other but this seems to give priority to whichever rollover area is on top. Any hints to make this work would be of great help!!

Hi there
What you need to do is abandon each rollover type. Instead, insert a Rollover Slidelet. Then insert a Text Caption and an Image into the Slidelet area. Then on a single mouseover, display the slidelet. Time the Slidelet as needed.
Either that or create a larger image containing both the Text Caption and the Image as a large consolidated image. Then just insert a Rollover Image that shows the larger consolidated image when moused over.
Cheers... Rick

Symbols and elements disappearing in chrome 37 for mac and windows.

Hi, hoping someone can help. I have made an animation I hope to be full width in EA. It works perfectly in ie9-11, Safari and firefox. However the background element vanishes in Chrome unless i zoom in 67%. This is also effecting another layer that covers the stage on occasion. The 2 layers are set within the bounds of the stage.
I think this may have something to do with the known issue:
Webkit (Safari, Chrome) browsers-only: Responsive scaling with symbols breaks element z-order when viewport is larger than the Stage. (3632270)
I have replicated the same issue using a simple svg box instead of the image. I have also resized the background image so it sits well within the centre of the stage and it still vanishes.
I have tried to manually add a z index to all the symbols. This hasn't worked.
I have also tried the sym.$("element").css("-webkit-backface-visibility","hidden") method mentioned in another thread. This also doesn't work.
My only fix seems to currently be using javascript to adjust the zoom in chrome upon loading the page. I really dont like doing this and want (need) to find a permanent solution to this issue.
Please LINK to my project. Note the project is not full screen in this example and you will see the elements vanish and appear if you toggle the zoom in chrome between 67% and 100%.
This issue doesn't effect the mac version of Safari at all.
I would really appreciate any advice on this matter.
Kind Regards,
ojrice

@s_ashok – you'll find the right methods and properties in the CHM file for InDesign CS2 at:
http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html
Just a few hints:
InDesign CS2 does not support GREP search/replace, so every line in your code that points to GREP does not work.
Further: "app.findTextPreferences" and "app.changeTextPreferences" were "app.findPreferences" and "app.changePreferences" in InDesign CS2. And then there were no "findChangeTextOptions" or any counterpart for that in CS2…
That should get you running…
I have no InDesign CS2 installed to debug, so this is all I can say…

Why am I losing text and background when exporting from InDesign?

Hi, I am VERY new to graphic design & working with InDesign for the first time. When I export... to pdf, the 2nd page of my 3 page indesign document loses several (but not all) text boxes and the background. Anyone know why this is?? PLEASE HELP!! this is time-sensitive!! Thanks so much in advance!!

Layer set to not print? Some description of the file and contents as well as the OS and version and the version of ID would be of help.

Why are my sent texts and imessages disappearing from my feed once i hit the send button?

This happens when I send the text or iMessage!

Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings. The messages will still be on the server.
2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
3. Reindex messages.
4. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
5. If you've created subfolders of any Exchange mailbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. For best results, a mailbox should have no subfolders.
6. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
7. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

>my indesign file is a web file
Pardon?
Or do you mean that, when you created a new document, you choose Web as intent maybe?

Flash text and flash buttons in DW CS4

Hi,
I have installed DW CS4 on my pc with Vista Home Premium 64
Bit...I have edit my website homepage and I have discovered that I
can't edit all flash text and buttons that I have created with DW
CS3! I have see that the adobe has removed from CS4 version this
option! So, now how I can resolve this problem??
I have try to install also the CS3 version but I don't
understand because I can't no more activated it from internet or
phone option!
I'm very angry for this, now I have to recreate from the
begin all flash text and buttons of my website with other software?
perhaps to buy also the Flash CS4 version for the solution? is this
the new idea of adobe with their new CS4 version?

It was a poor choice on Adobe's part to ever include such an
option, and on
your part for using it. Think about it -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's almost always a very bad idea for these reasons.
The solution is to make graphics to replace the Flash
elements, or just use
CSS styled text.

Help please! In InDesign DPS, my folio files are fine, but when previewing, random elements disappear?

I have been working on these files now for a long time. All of a sudden, when I updated my Folio recently and previewed it, random elements disappeared from view. Images, text, buttons, all are just not visible at random. Please help me out as I need to get this published ASAP!
I tried resetting my preferences, and I updated my DPS Tools... not sure what else to do.
Thank you.

Can I migrate tags and keywords created in Elements, to Photoshop CS4?

I have used Elements 11 for cataloguing a lot of photos but I want to use Photoshop CS4 for other purposes. The tags and keywords I created in Elements disappear in PS. How can I migrate them? Does CS4 have a similar cataloguing ability?

When you add keywords to images in Photoshop Elements Orgainzer, they are added to the catalog not to the file directly. You can save the keywords to the file directly by using File > Save Metadata to Files.
If you use the Edit with Photoshop feature of the Organizer, the file does get sent to Photoshop with metadata attached (without having to use the above steps). But in order to see this data you have to go to File > File Info in Photoshop.
Beyond that, not all file formats support metadata or keywords, and not all application have a way of displaying or reading keywords.
Photoshop doesn't have any cataloging abilities. The closest it has is the Bridge companion app. This does not catalog your files, but simply allows you to view the files on your hard drive (similar to Windows Explorer or Mac Finder) with more information displayed.

Placing Illustrator and InDesign Files, Importing text and forms into Library

Firstly, is there any way at all to maintain the working elements of an Illustrator or Indesign file if placing in Muse, is it even possible?
Example: I have a fully created website layout with text boxes and vector images saved in Illustrator.
I'm wondering, can this be bumped to Muse using the 'Library' feature as a whole, as elements like the contact form were in the Katie's Cafe tutorial?
I understand how that works for singular images, but is it at all possible with a complex image that contains both text and vector, or does this image need to be sliced up and saved as individual elements. Is there anyway to extract the text boxes from Illustrator or InDesign as they are? How are working text boxes created in InDesign as mentioned in the Katie's Cafe tutorial?
Thanks so much in advance, and sorry if this is totally obvious!

Hm, okay.
How would I know if the file is corrupt?
Well, you often don't, until it crashes and is unrecoverable. Then it's too late. But "insanely swollen file size" is a symptom. However, I can't know if your file size is reasonable or not, depends on the content, and it sounds like your content is pretty heavyweight. For instance - I thought it was possilbe to strip out custom brushes when saving AI files to bring file size down. I've never touched an AI file that was too large because of the number of swatches. So, depending on how much you have in there, then maybe your two-gig file isn't on the verge of crashing and burning.
I did inherit it, but have since used it as a template and "saved as" various versions. I'm not really sure if it started in 5 or not.
Cool trick: Click on Help, then hold down Control when you click on About. This will take you to a "Component Information" screen, and in the lower-left-hand corner you can see the Document History. So you can learn if you inherited a file that started in CS5. Or in CS3, or in PageMaker.
General best-practices as recommended by forum regulars is to finish a file in the format in which it started. If a file has to be moved from an older version to a newer version, then exporting IDML or INX before moving is advised. This is because of a lot of anecdotal evidence that opening up old files in newer versions and then doing a bunch of work is correlated with file corruption.
I have not tried to export-to-IDML-and-reopen, but I certainly will. What does this do exactly?
Well, it'll do a bunch of different things. It'll reinterpret the file format, which can strip out corruption. It'll strip out all image previews. If there is cruft in your file, then this will probably remove it.
