Vertical text using script

In one of my templates, the designer has vertical text in a textframe in the first page. I don't think he used the "type on a path line" tool. I don't think he uses a style do it either.
In my script, I add 2 pages to the template and 2 textframes. I want the textframes to show the same vertical text in the same geometric bounds. How do I do this using the script?

One more question, is it possible to have two text boxes side by side using this script and have them flex or move depending how long the text is? Or would this require more complex code?
thanks

HELP!!! Creating Text using script

Hi there,
I am writing a script which creates a text frame and adds text in it. The problem is, I want to add some information below everytime on many documents. Instead of copying from other sources everytime, I thought of writing a scirpt which by clicking creates a text frame and puts text in that because it is the same for all. Now two issues:
1) It is coming but in the first page. I need that in the working page, for example clicking that it should come in page 2 or 4 and not in the first page.
2) The text has a word should be in quotes giving like that the script shows error. My example code is given below:
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myTextFrame = myDocument.textFrames.add()
myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["11.2in", "8in","10.99in","0.5in"];
myTextFrame.contents = "This is a "sample" text.
Please try without quotes first. Without quotes for sample word it is coming in the first page. With quotes it shows error.
What is the solution. 1) need to add on the current working page. 2) should also include a word within quotes.
Help really appreciated!

Hi Prasant,
1) Add a text frame to the active page
2) Escape quotes in the string \"
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
// Ruler origin should be set to Page
myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
var myTextFrame = app.activeWindow.activePage.textFrames.add();
myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["11.2in", "8in","10.99in","0.5in"];
myTextFrame.contents = "This is a \"sample\" text.";

How can I show vertical text?

Hi all, does any body knows how can I show a vertical text using g2.drawString() method?
For example:
g2.drawString("Help", x, y);
I want the text appear like:
p
l
e
H
of course with the correct rotation of each character.
thanks in advance

Here's the code we use in the JFreeChart project:
     * A utility method for drawing rotated text.
     * <P>
     * A common rotation is -Math.PI/2 which draws text 'vertically' (with the top of the
     * characters on the left).
     * @param text the text.
     * @param g2 the graphics device.
     * @param x the x-coordinate.
     * @param y the y-coordinate.
     * @param rotation the clockwise rotation (in radians).
    public static void drawRotatedString(String text, Graphics2D g2,
                                         float x, float y, double rotation) {
        if ((text == null) || (text.equals(""))) {
            return;
        AffineTransform saved = g2.getTransform();
        // apply the rotation...
        AffineTransform rotate = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(rotation, x, y);
        g2.transform(rotate);
        // workaround for JDC bug ID 4312117 and others...
        TextLayout tl = new TextLayout(text, g2.getFont(), g2.getFontRenderContext());
        tl.draw(g2, x, y);
        // replaces this code...
        //g2.drawString(text, x, y);
        g2.setTransform(saved);
    }That bug workaround is causing trouble in some JDKs, try the original code and see if it works for you.

Selecting particular range of style using script

HI All,
Can anyone suggest me that how we can select the range of text using script.
I am having some different para styles say for eg., PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4...........
I may applyed these styles in some jumping order but except PS1, now I want to select paragraphs with applied style PS1 to stop before the next appearence of PS1 style.
Like: In a document Para 1, 10, 14, 25 were applied with PS1, so the selection should go in the way like 1-9, 10-13, 14-24 and so on
Regards,
love_all

"The" index of a paragraph is nothing special, it's the index of the first character of that paragraph inside its parent story. In particular, it does NOT tell you "this is the 5th paragraph" or something like that.
This is because "Paragraph" is an artificial construct inside "Text", not a truly existing first class object. Same as "Line", "Word", "Character", and indeed, any text selection at all.
Since you already have a "found text" array, "the index" of the nth entry's paragraph -- with the constraint described above -- can be simply found by using foundText[n].paragraphs[0].index (the index of the first character of your foundText is foundText[n].index).
If you DO need to know the nth number of the paragraph, search this forum. I think Peter Kahrel answered to a post to answer that exact question.

Using Standard text in scripts

Hi all,
I had a problem while printing standard texts in scripts.
I Know how to print standard text if we have to print it from the begining of window using
INCLUDE &T024E-TXADR& OBJECT TEXT ID ADRS LANGUAGE &EKKO-SPRAS& PAR
But my problem id i have print it after a hard coded text like
Delivery schedule: 'here i have to print the standard text'.
can any one please help me out how to solve the problem
Thanks & regards
sreehari p

Hi,
Here's one my brother taught me - you can actually trick the system to accommodate this requirement.
Ensure that you use 2 different paragraph formats in your INCLUDE statement, using the PARAGRAPH and NEW_PARAGRAPH clauses, ie.
INCLUDE &T024E-TXADR& OBJECT TEXT ID ADRS LANGUAGE &EKKO-SPRAS& PARAGRAPH P1 NEW-PARAGRAPH P2
Paragraph P2 (which will be used as the first line) should be created as having a Line Spacing value of 1 TW (1 twip) which is less than 1/1000th of an inch. Also, set the Left Margin value to an offset which brings the text to the right of the Delivery schedule literal.
Paragraph P1 (which will be used for all subsequent lines) should be set up as normal - ie. use the same paragraph format as that for displaying your "Delivery schedule:" literal. If you need the text to be indented in line with the first line, then copy your existing paragraph to a new paragraph but set the Left Margin value to the same as that in P2.
What this does is to output the first line of text indented by the margin after skipping 1 twip, giving the illusion that it's actually on the same line. Since subsequent lines are output with a normal (or normal/indented) paragraph, that just follows with normal spacing on subsequent lines.
Hope this makes sense.
Regards, Andy

Vertical Text in PDF using CFDOCUMENT

I am using font tag in a CSS file to layout a table header
using vertical text. In HTML, the vertical text looks fine.
However, when I convert the table to a pdf using
<cfdocument>, the vertical text is displayed as horizintal
text and does not follow the css specified font family, color or
size.
Here is the line in the CCS I am referencing:
.header_vertical {FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
FONT-STYLE: normal; writing-mode:tb-rl; FONT-FAMILY: helvetica,
arial, verdana, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none; COLOR: #0f437c}
This is CFMX7 on a Windows Server 2003 OS running IIS.
Any ideas???
Thanks.

Hi there, did you find a solution to this?
I had the same issue and no matter what i tried it didn't
work. I found out that CFDOCUMENT doesn't support CSS2.
Eventually I came up with a clunky solution, but had no other
choice. I bought some imaging software called Alagad (
http://www.alagad.com) which
produces the vertical text as images on the fly. Its not ideal, but
there was no ther way I could disply the text.
Hope this helps you.

In the transaction related to PO select the path goto->header texts and then details of the texts like ID,objectname,language,name.Pass all theses details to 'READ_TEXT ' FM. Then you will get text lines described for a perticular Po ,similarly for item also.

How do we identify the standard texts used in a sap script?

Is there any way that i can identify the standard texts used in SAP scripts?
Not manually going to each window in the script and checking.
Will there be any table where I can look ?
Thanks,

GO to the forminfo of the sapscript in SE71..and then search for INCLUDE

Using SPELL_AMOUNT for passing converted text to Script

Hi all,
I tried to convert number to text using SPELL_AMOUNT function module, and when i specify the variable referring to SPELL inside script layout, it throws me error.
The script is not allowing me to specify variables of type SPELL, but allows me to use only elementary data types.
Pls provide solution apart from using the function module 'HR_IN_CHG_INR_WRDS' (this works)..

karthikeyan
i would suggest you to use subroutine pools for that.
You can use the PERFORM command to call an ABAP subroutine (form) from any program,
Syntax in a form window:
/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
The ABAP subroutine called via the command line stated above must be defined in the ABAP report prog as follows:
FORM <form> TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
ENDFORM.
The values of the SAPscript symbols passed with /: USING... are now stored in the internal table IN_TAB . Note that the system passes the values as character string to the subroutine, since the field Field VALUE in structure ITCSY has the domain TDSYMVALUE (CHAR 80).
The internal table OUT_TAB contains names and values of the CHANGING parameters
in the PERFORM statement.

Vertical text. Can FireFox display a vertical text? Which HTML tags should be used for that?

The site http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/css/58732/ recommends a way for using vertical text in HTML/CSS (see example below). However my instance of Firefox 3.6.22 does not display this vertical text. Please let me know your recommendations/
<html>
<head>
<title>1</title>
<style>

</style>
<body>
<div class="vertical">Testing text</div>
</body>

How to get the handle of all text fields in the subforms, using script

Hi Friends,
I have around 20 fields in a subform, how can i get the names of all the fields using script.
I wish to enhance the following script where the field names are hard coded
thereby the script itself will get the names of the field names.
var f1 = this.parent.somExpression + ".TextField2" + ",";
var f2 = f1 + this.parent.somExpression + ".DropDownList1" + ",";
var f3 = f2 + this.parent.somExpression + ".NumericField1";
xfa.host.resetData(f3);
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
JJ

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your comments.
I achieved the clear contents by resetting, by taking input from your thoughts..
form1.sub1.sub2.sub3.table_1.addDelete_Top.addDelete.deleteRow::click - (JavaScript, client)
//Here is my code finally look like..
//row 1, table_1 are also subforms
for (var i=1;i<10;i++){
var myRow = this.resolveNode("table_1.row1[" + i + "]");
if(myRow.presence == "hidden"){
i = i-1;
var myRowDelete = this.resolveNode("table_1.row1[" + i + "]");
if(i!=0){
xfa.host.resetData(myRowDelete.somExpression);
myRowDelete.presence = "hidden";
break;
if(i==9){
xfa.host.resetData(myRow.somExpression);
myRow.presence = "hidden";
break;
Thanks

Vertical text and Spotlight

I'm not sure whether this topic is more InDesign, PDF or MacOSX related.
See this document.
Is it possible to make the number in the bottom left corner, searchable for Spotlight (MAC).
The number is set vertically due to corporate guidelines.
The file doesn't show up with a Spotlight search for that number.
In Acrobat, the text is fully searchable. Even MAC's own Preview app can find the vertical text, which makes me wonder why Spotlight doesn't index it.
Even google seems to index the vertical text.
I don't want to add the number to the filename either, because we have strict file naming conventions to keep everything clear.
Thanks in advance!

Meanwhile I did some tests.
It appears rotated text IS spotlight-searchable, BUT words are seperated in parts.
For example: the text "ROTATED"
At 30°, spotlight finds the file until i type the "E" character.
30°: ROTAT - ED
60°: ROTA - TED
90°: RO - TA - TE - D
It seems to split the words, and spotlight sees the parts as different words.
While acrobat, mac preview etc. can search any combination characters, spotlight needs the first character of the word (it would never find "OME WOR" when "SOME WORDS" is in the file).
I tried using tags, hyperlinks / bookmarks, script labels etc, many different PDF export options (PDF tags, invisble objects, PDF versions,…).
I also played with some InDesign text controls that could cause the text splitting, like kerning/tracking settings, opentype features, hyphenation turned off...
Also with mirroring (mirrored text is indexed by the way), vertical text in a non-rotated table.
None of the above made the file spotlight-searchable.
Opening the PDF in Illustrator shows the the text as 1 part, so I don't know why spotlight sees the words as seperate parts.
John's invisible text-option looks like the solution to go with.
Perhaps the "linked content" feature in can handle this, to make sure the visible and invisble text is always synced. (just switched from CS5.5, and didn't test that feature yet).
