xmlrules throws error ?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:55:52 GMT

Hi all

I'm trying to load figures wherever the <figcap/> tag available. it works fine. but I create a textFrame for figure caption and use placeXML() to move the <figcap/>. It works only first occurrence and next throws an error as below.

" Error: Invalid structure iterator for the current XML rules processor detected!
Please modify the rules so the structural changes happen after the children nodes have been processed (or skipped). "

without xmlrules we can do it. but it'll take to much time to load nearly 60 figures.

What could be the problem with xmlrules and how to resolve it?

thanks

Why does indesign returns enum for some special characters?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 09:32:00 GMT

Hi All

Why does app.selection[0].contents returns enum value for some special characters, like BULLET CHARACTER, TRADEMARK SYMBOL ...?

But for other unicode characters like, ex: a with acute returns the same a with acute.

Becuase of that string functions like charCodeAt(), charAt() are not working.

Could anyone pls suggest.

thanks in advance

How can get PointSize?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:47:16 GMT

Hi All

I need to get text point sizes applied in each column, and selection will not be available. So I've used 'SetTargetUnManaged'.

/// code

target->SetTargetUnManaged(tblModel, colArea);

InterfacePtr<ITextAttributeSuite> txtAttrSuite(target, UseDefaultIID());

if(!txtAttrSuite) break;

PMReal ptSize(0.0);

txtAttrSuite->GetRealNumberAttributeValue(kTextAttrPointSizeBoss, &ptSize);

////

the above code gives the same point size every time, even the colArea changes. But each column has different point size.

Pls suggest how can I get the different point sizes applied.

InDesign bleed problem!

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 03:46:37 GMT

Hi All

We have faced a problem in indesign while exporting to pdf; exported pdf with bleeds shows some 'text' outside of bleed. Which is actually comes from the art file placed near the trim that extends to bleed. Its being strange, because no other text or art portions are exported.

FYI: See attachement.

Problem in Find/Change ?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 10 May 2011 04:47:06 GMT

Hi All

While I try to find the font "Times (T1)" it changes in indesign as "Times (TT)".

app.findTextPreferences.appliedFont = "Times (T1)";
app.findTextPreferences.fontStyle = "Italic";

but for other fonts works fine.

I hope the problem is braces. Any Idea to rectify it.

How to FindSurroundingWord with my own delimiters ?

How to get hyphenation point count to a word?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:22:54 GMT

I've got words from IComposeScanner using FindSurroundingWord. And tried to get hyphenation point counts of a word as

///////

RangeData surWrd = cScanner->FindSurroundingWord(pos, lanUID, PMCharFilters::SpellingIsWordChar);

cScanner->CopyText(surWrd, &wrd);

TextCharBuffer wrdBuffer(wrd);

Hyp::HyphenationPoints hypPoints;

InterfacePtr<IHyphenatedWord> hypWrd = new HypHyphenatedWord(wrdBuffer, 0, 0, hypPoints);

int32 pointCount = hypWrd->GetPointCount();

////////

It returned '0'. Because, "HypHyphenatedWord" is to hyphenate a new word, i think not for already hyphenated word.

Please suggest on this how to get hyphenation point counts for already hyphenated word.
