adobe-indesign

I'm an in-house developer for a print company. We use Adobe Indesign CS3 and CS5 to create documents for printing. I created a script in Adobe Extendscript that creates an Indesign Document and handles some basic conversions when the client fails to do so themselves. I used Javascript to write this script. Is it possible to call a web service through such a script? If so, how? If not, what would be the best way to call a web service from the desktop? Thank you. No and Yes. No, there is no way (afaik) to make InDesign call a web service from a script. It's very possible and often done from

We are currently working on an pdf version of a newspaper at work, we have a .net website which captures the articles to publish, storing the content entered as html, so we can maintain styles like bold, underline, strike out. Once this is stored in the database we are planning to use Indesign to create the pdf. We currently we have a template built, but when we generate an xml document and import into Indesign the html tags are just written out. Is there a way around this, to get Indesign to maintain the tags as they would be in html? We just need some simple ones, like bold, strikeout,

i've an XSLT 2.0 which transforms an xhtml Table into an InDesign XML Table. This XSLT counts the maximum number of <td> Elements within every row <tr> Line 7 in the template below ( max(for $td in //tr return count($td/td)) ). <xsl:template match="table"> <xsl:element name="id_table"> <xsl:attribute name="aid:trows"> <xsl:value-of select="count(child::*/tr)"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="aid:tcols"> <xsl:value-of select="max(for $td in //tr return count($td/td))"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> I've no idea how to realize this with XSLT 1.0 -

I state that I have tried for a long time before writing this post. For an InDesign script, I'm working with two array of ListItems. Now I'm trying to remove the items of one array that aren't in the second array, but i'm stuck. Given that I use the following javascript code (it works great) to remove the equal items between the two arrays : function check_dupli(arr_A, arr_B) { for(var i = arr_B.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { for(var j = 0; j < arr_A.length; j++) { if(arr_B[i] === arr_A[j]) { arr_B.splice(i, 1); } } } arr_B.sort(); } arr_A = ["a","b","d","f","g"] arr_B = ["a","c","f","h"] check

I often get a PDF from our designer (built in Adobe InDesign) which is supposed to be sent out to thousands of people. I've got the list with all the people, and it's easy doing a mail merge in OpenOffice.org. However, OpenOffice.org doesn't support the advanced PDF. I just want to output some text onto each page and print it out. Here's how I do it now: print out 6.000 copies of the PDF, then put all of them into the printer again and just print out name, address and other information on top of it. But that's expensive. Sadly, I can't make the PDF to an image and use that in OpenOffice.org

I am importing XML into InDesign, and I get this message: The external entity 'blahblah.dtd' cannot be found. Continue to import anyway? And when I then continue to import the XML, I get this error message: Javascript Error! Error Number: 103237 Error String: DOM transformation error: Invalid namespace. Engine: session File: C:\blahblah\blahblah.jsx Line: 259 Source: obj.doc.importXML(File(xmlDoc) ); ...the problem is, is that I won't have access to the DTD, and I won't need it for my purposes anyway. So, is there a Extendscript way to ignore the DTD? If not, is there a way to ignore the DTD
