Vietnamese support in Indesign

I have been trying to get the Vietnamese language to work in Indesign. I don't see it as an option under languages in the Character palette. Any suggestions on how to get this to work? I only need a couple of words in Vietnamese.
Thanks
JP

Myriad Pro works!!!! had the same problem on my system. CS4, version 6.05, Windows XP ServicePack 3, tightly regulated IP environment as far as adding fonts. The one font I could get to work was (I know it sounds vulgar) good old Arial (OpenType version) until I found Myriad Pro OT

Hello Bradley,
sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
But as much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
Good luck!

How many scripts (as in writing systems) are supported by InDesign?

I am trying to find a definitive list of scripts (as in writing systems) supported by InDesign. Is that available somewhere? These are the scripts I am interested in:
Arabic
Armenian
Bengali
Braille
Canadian Syllabics
Chinese
Cherokee
Cyrillic
Devanagari
Ethiopic
Georgian
Greek
Gujarati
Gurmukhi
Hebrew
Japanese
Kannada
Khmer
Korean
Lao
Latin
Malayalam
Mongolian
Myanmar
Oriya
Sinhala
Tamil
Telugu
Thai
Tibetan

Yeah, I do understand that Ge'ez/Ethiopic script covers many languages - but quite a few East African minority languages written in Ge'ez that are not Amharic or Tigrinya use forms/"houses"/etc. not in the Unicode spec. The same is true of minority languages in Myanmar - don't assume you can typeset Karen once you have "Myanmar" in your list of supported languages!
When you say "out of the box" do you really mean that? Most of the languages in that list that will work without plugins etc. require specialized fonts. The glyph coverage of the fonts that Adobe gives away with ID or the Creative Suite is extensive, but won't include most of your required languges. But, assuming you already have the fonts, and assuming that you know where to find the World-Ready Composer, then anything in that list that is not right-to-left (or vertical) should at least render correctly in ID. Mind you, "render correctly" doesn't help you if your Burmese translator doesn't key in zero-width spaces, for example.
I think that this may well be why there is no Adobe master-list of supported languages that is easy to find; it's because It Is A Very Complicated Issue. I've been doing typesetting in a list of languages much like yours for the last decade, and even if Adobe's type rendering engine handles fonts-built-according-to-Unicode-spec (e.g. Lao), there is significant variation in font development techniques, font modification by people writing in minority languages, keying order, and personal translator keying preferences. But if you find that list, post it! I will be surprised, but not shocked, if it exists somewhere.

Language Supported in InDesign

Hi,
I have insatalled InDesign CS4 application and in the "character panel" there is a list of around 38 languages. Also through the ILanguageList Interface function
"GetLanguageCount()" I am getting count value of 40.sessionLanguageList->GetLanguageCount();
How could I get the list of all language supported by InDesign?
Thanks
Vivek

I know this isn't what the OP is asking about, but perhaps Teus de Jong's Indesign Hyphenation checker can help. This creates a new window in ID listing a document's hyphenated words, and clicking on one of them takes you to its location in the ID file. The best version runs in Windows (faster, multiple files), but Peter Kahrel recently adopted it for Javascript, making it available for Mac ID as well. The JSX version avoids the problems I've had getting the compiled versions to work on various Windows systems (apparently dues to local peculiarities): it has worked very well in initial testing on problem machines, and I'm about to use it on a real job.
David
P.S. This is great for catching the inevitable hyphenation errors for Chinese pinyin romanizations in text that is mostly English. I'd love to be able to apply a "Pinyin" language attribute with a corresponding pinyin hyphenation dictionary, but I don't see any sign of that.

RTL & Indian Language Support for Indesign CS6 Mac

Hi,
I am using Adobe Indesign CS6 Mac version and need support to using Arabic and Indian Language Support. I am not able to write this language. When I am pasting from Word or anywhere text is going cracked.
I also learn to enable language support from Character setting but I can't find Kashidas option on my Indesign.
It will be very helpful if some one support how to enable this option or download.
Best Regards,
Rakesh

That's because Larry is correct, and Ellis is correct about you needing to take Larry's advice if you don't have the World-Ready Composer in your menu. You need something like the World Tools plugin from InTools to access the complex-script tools not available in the menus in your install of CS6.
(Or you could employ Ellis' other suggestion and move to the Cloud. But World Tools is rather less expensive in the long term.)

Canvas support in Indesign scripts?

Hi there,
short version:
I was wondering if it is possible in any way to include auto generated raster content (Using canvas api for example) in in-design using JavaScript?
Long version:
I noticed that In-design supports a very old version of JavaScript, and since I'm pretty new to InDesign scripting I thought it's better to get informed about its capability / limitations before planing about what to do with it! I wrote a Javascript code (not in in-design script) that generates unique random patterns of motifs, now I'm interested if I can integrate it in in-design scripts so it would put one of this raster images in each page of an in-design document (IE: left and right side of each relatively facing pages);
also since my first guess after studying a bit In-design's object-model documentation was that it is very much limited to just what is possible through the software UI itself (and not any/some thing new/more), then I was wondering (in that case) how much is it possible to hook an script to an external script, and sending and receiving data/vars between them; like putting both scripts in the same folder, the first one calls the other one giving it some info (document dimensions, etc.), the second script runs (outside of ID), put the images on disk and return to main script when it's done!! :/
I have some other solution sketches as well in my mind, but wanted to have your input before doing anything ridiculous!! :-)))
I really appreciate your in-put on this,
thx, mim,

And yeah! It looks like I can execute an external file of any type!
After reading and looking for a while, finally:
In 52th page of documentation it says:
execute()
fileObj.execute ()
Opens this file using the appropriate application, as if it had been double-clicked in a file browser. You can use this method to run scripts, launch applications, and so on
Voila! Exactly what I need (If what I think I need is actually what I need! indeed!!)
I'll try to see if it works later on (impatient actually!), and thx again!

PDF/VT Support in InDesign CS 5.5

Is there PDF/VT export in InDesign now that CS 5.5 is out? Is there a similar upgrade to InDesign Server? Is there a good resource for the differences between PDF and PDF/VT?
Thanks,
Bob

First, let's differentiate between PDF/X-4:2008 and PDF/X-4:2010. In terms of the ISO standards, PDF/X-4:2010 replaces (not supplements) the PDF/X-4:2008 standard. The PDF/X-4:2010 standard loosens some restrictions on how one can express layers in PDF/X-4 and allows layers to be expressed the same way they are in InDesign documents (and for that matter, Illustrator files). There were also some clarifications and corrections applied to the actual text of the standard. There are no physical differences in how PDF/X-4:2008 and how PDF/X-4:2010 files are “marked.” And the good news is that all valid PDF/X-4:2008 files are valid PDF/X-4:2010 files. However, vice versa is not true! This isn't a problem since there is no such thing as PDF/X-4:2008 in terms of the ISO standard.
In terms of what you see in InDesign 7.5, all PDF/X-4 files, despite what the joboptions claim, are actually PDF/X-4:2010 and will allow for layers. InDesign no longer restricts the PDF to PDF 1.4 (again, regardless of what the joboptions say), and allows for JPEG2000 image compression and automatically applies much higher compression to the non-image sections of the PDF file. In the next major release of InDesign, I think you'll see that the joboptions are properly labelled in terms of PDF/X-4:2010 support and there won't be PDF/X-4:2008 joboptions at all.
Secondly, the relationship of PDF/X-5:2010 to PDF/X-5:2008 is exactly the same as PDF/X-4:2010 to PDF/X-5:2008. The PDF/X-5:2010 standard totally replaces the PDF/X-5:2008 standard and provides the same “upgrades” and PDF/X-4:2010 provides for PDF/X-4:2008.
However, I know of no way that you can directly export PDF/X-5 files from InDesign. The PDF/X-5:2010 support is only for the SDK to allow creation of PDF/VT-2 files.
Third, per my original response, the PDF/VT support (both PDF/VT-1 - fully self-contained PDF/VT - and PDF/VT-2 - using PDF/X-5 for external PDF objects known as Reference XObjects) is only available in the SDK.
And finally, in terms of marketing bullet points, I'm just a dumb engineer here and not even part of the InDesign organization. But yes, they don't tell the whole story. I don't think they intentionally wrote this one to mislead, but most likely, those who wrote the marketing collateral probably didn't quite understand any of this at all.
Note that for Illustrator and Photoshop in CS5, the PDF/X-4 that is output has not changed, i.e. it is restricted to the features of PDF/X-4:2008. Hopefully this will be fixed for the next full versions of those programs (i.e., not a commitment). Also note that Acrobat X Pro fully supports PDF/X-4:2010 and PDF/X-5:2010. The preflight support in Acrobat 9 Pro will fail any PDF/X-4:2010 file that has layers per the relaxed rules of PDF/X-4:2010.
All versions of RIPs and printers from our OEM partners using the Adobe PDF Print Engine should be capable of supporting PDF/X-4:2010 and PDF/X-5:2010 (assuming that the OEM has enabled PDF/X-4 and PDF/X-5 support). Full support for PDF/VT-1 and PDF/VT-2 which are based on PDF/X-4:2010 and PDF/X-5:2010 is available via the Adobe PDF Print Engine 2.5 now beginning to appear in our OEMs' products.
Clear as mud now?

Retina display support for indesign urgently needed!

I know this is been said before but indesign really is unworkable for long periods of time without getting a headache. It is a program designed for text and when that text is unreadable it's a problem. Please please please update this soon.

I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but you could enable HiDPI as far ago as December 2011, see this article: http://www.cultofmac.com/132751/enable-retina-like-hidpi-display-modes-in-os-x-lion-video- how-to/
I know plenty of OS X and iOS developers and as soon as that info came out they a) started planning for the transition and b) pretty much knew how Apple will handle high-resolution displays (same as they did on iOS—by doing resolution doubling).
If Adobe was somehow "surprised" by this then they have a bunch of idiot managers on their InDesign team. And, no, it’s not Apple’s fault that Adobe’s apps don’t use Cocoa’s UI controls but are instead going for some weird ***, half-flash-half-not combination of a home grown UI framework monstrosity. They’ve been trying to have a "magic" UI framework that works across Windows and OS X for over a decade and it has never worked well (at least not on the Mac side). You’d think they'd learn it one day, but apparently idiot corporate policies like "Flash is an app development framework, now!" trump pragmatic engineering decisions.
As for the non UI, content rendering—if it works at 200% zoom, it works with HiDPI.
To be honest, seeing how little in terms of innovative features Illustrator gets I was really surprised by its retina support being out as quick—and InDesign’s being MIA.
It’s fascinating that Apple can make do with Cocoa which is at its core a UI framework that is over a decade old while Adobe has been fumbling around like a bunch of amateurs.
And, yes, this post was brought to you by having to work with InDesign over the weekend on a retina MacBook Pro and googling to see if or when an update is forthcoming. *grumble*

Thai unicode/ Thai language support in Indesign CS4

I was trying to type in Thai in Indesign CS4 and was met with the font not available characters. Is there any way to type in Thai in Indesign CS4?

Yeah, you have to scroll down to the absolute bottom of the fonts list and pick a font that supports Thai. Then turn on the World-Ready Composer - in your paragraph style, or in the Justification window, or in a few other places.

RAW Support in InDesign and Roundtrip to Lightroom

Julianne Kost suggested I suggest this feature when I spoke to her yesterday at PhotoPlus in NYC. I am currently designing wedding albums using InDesign and I like being able to roundtrip to Photoshop and back. But most images in the book are not brought into Photoshop and are instead edited in Lightroom where I tweek some things and then export to overwrite the current file in my layout. This requires me to click on the image, find its file number, search for it in Lightroom, make the edit and then re-export. Doable but time-consuming. If I could simply drag DNG files from LR into my layout and then use LR as the editor, it would make for an incredibly fast workflow. How about it?
Forgive me oh mighty mods but I am going to cross-post this in the Lightroom forum since I'm not sure which one is appropriate.

Rob, my reading of your site is that this plug-in copies settings from raw to jpeg, does it work the other way around as well?
Rob Cole wrote:
One of the great things about the new 0-based defaults and linear tone curve is:
You can develop the jpegs now, in Lightroom, and then sync the settings to the raws later (e.g. using RawPlusJpeg), and provided you select a matching camera profile, they will look almost the same (white balance won't translate over, but everything else will, more or less). Beware lens corrections applied to the raws might alter the registration of precision local adjustments.
Note: I recommend shooting with ADL off in order for this to work better, and consider turning sharpening off in camera as well, and noise reduction and everything else to whatever extent is possible.

OCR Support for Vietnamese language in Acrobat Pro 9.1

I am using Acrobat Pro 9.1 and am needing to OCR the earlier scanned Vietnamese document.
It seems that the default setup of Acrobat 9.1 doesn't support this. The question is does Acrobat 9.1 support support at all?
I have noticed the font pack (including Vietnamese support) for Acrobat Pro 8.x, but failed to find equivalent support for Pro 9+?
Appreciate any ideas on this.

Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the more fundamental process (PDF Maker is a preprocessor for the printer). If that does not work, then try with print-to-file selected. Open the file in Distiller and see if the PDF is created. If the latter happens, then check for AcroTray running in the background. It is required to automate the process and is needed by PDF Maker.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:

Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

More about parameters that can be specified to open PDF files are available here:

How do you apply the same password policy to every PDF document you create with inDesign?

All,
Adobe peeps!,
I don't know if this is really supported with inDesign 5.5, but here is my my use case:
I constantly create more than 10 PDFs a day using inDesign
On all PDF's I create, i want to apply password security to protect them
But in order to do so, within inDesign, I am always forced to go to the "security dialogue" pane to set up the same permission and passwords over and over again
This gets tiring :/
So what I am hoping to do is the following:
Like acrobat, I want to create a password policy within inDesign
I want all PDFs created to have such a password policy be automatically applied
I know acrobat supports something like this (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d68.w.h tml), but, unless I may have missed something, the Acrobat feature is limited. That is, the help link does not tell me how to automatically do this with Acrobat either (the link does not explain to me how to "automatically apply the same password security policy to every PDF document I save within the application). I think the only way to do so is via "Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES", but for non server users, I am hoping there is another way.
So my questions are:
Is it possible to create password security policies in inDesign?
Is it possible to apply the same password security policy to every PDF i create in inDesign?
If not, can I change default settings within Acrobat ProX to automatically apply a password security policy everytime I save a PDF?
If all fails, do you guys know of any extensions that can support this?
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Steve,
Thanks for your notes. To follow up on your response.
Bummer. I kinda had a hunch at this inDesign limitation.
I have been aware of the method for setting up of a security policy within Acrobat. While this feature does cut down some of the work involved in creating and applying password policies to pdfs, what I am looking for with Acrobat is to apply the same password policy to every document I save from the app. Automatically. Without having to manualy select a policy.
I think my solution will have to lie in me creating some sort of script to help support this need. I don't think Acrobat Pro X has the capabilities to allow me to tinker with, say, creating a save PDF preset that will allow me to automatically apply a password policy.
PS. I am using acrobat pro x.
