InDesign CC Probleme mit Tags

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 07:08:26 GMT

Guten Tag zusammen,

Ich habe vor kurzer Zeit eine neue Stelle angefangen und arbeite seit dem mit einem neuen System - Tags.

Die Daten werden automatisch aus einem externen Kundenverzeichnis geladen und über Tags in InDesign CC eingebunden.

Wir haben jetzt folgende Probleme:

1.) Wenn ein Tag "leer" ist wird ein Leerzeichen eingefügt (so entstehen ungewollte Einzüge).

2.) Es werden alle Absätze rausgeschmissen.

Ich weiß, es ist ein sehr komplexes Problem, aber vielleicht kennt jemand diese Problematik aus dem Stehgreif?

Hier ist noch ein Bildschirmfoto zur Veranschaulichung.

Über Anregungen und Antworten würde ich mich sehr freuen!

Gruß

InDesign automatically use clipping-paths for images

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 10:28:47 GMT

Hey everyone,

for my daily work I have to assign clipping-paths to images. ALOT.

So is there a way to assign them automatically? Maybe with Scripts oder Search & Change?

It would save alot of time for me.

Here's a helpfull script-part from Jongware:

Select 1 image and set the clipping path options.

Select the rest of the images and run the script.

for (s=0; s<app.selection.length; s++)

try {

with (app.selection[s].graphics[0].clippingPath)

{

appliedPathName = photoshopPathNames[0];

clippingType = ClippingPathType.PHOTOSHOP_PATH;

}

} catch(_) {}

Thanks people

FindChangeByList.jsx changing multyple files

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:18:23 GMT

Hello everyone,

I found this helpfull script wich change all open documents for CS5.5.

Is it possible to use it for CS4? At this moment it doesnt work!

Here`s the links:

// Changes to the code in order to process multyple files

//target any InDesign

#target "InDesign"

//FindChangeByList.jsx

//An InDesign CS5.5 JavaScript

@@@BUILDINFO@@@ "FindChangeByList.jsx" 3.0.0 15 December 2009

//Loads a series of tab-delimited strings from a text file, then performs a series

//of find/change operations based on the strings read from the file.

//The data file is tab-delimited, with carriage returns separating records.

//The format of each record in the file is:

//findType<tab>findProperties<tab>changeProperties<tab>findChangeOptio ns<tab>description

//Where:

//<tab> is a tab character

//findType is "text", "grep", or "glyph" (this sets the type of find/change operation to use).

//findProperties is a properties record (as text) of the find preferences.

//changeProperties is a properties record (as text) of the change preferences.

//findChangeOptions is a properties record (as text) of the find/change options.

//description is a description of the find/change operation

//Very simple example:

//text {findWhat:"--"} {changeTo:"^_"} {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false} Find all double dashes and replace with an em dash.

//More complex example:

//text {findWhat:"^9^9.^9^9"} {appliedCharacterStyle:"price"} {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false} Find $10.00 to $99.99 and apply the character style "price".

//All InDesign search metacharacters are allowed in the "findWhat" and "changeTo" properties for findTextPreferences and changeTextPreferences.

//If you enter backslashes in the findWhat property of the findGrepPreferences object, they must be "escaped"

//as shown in the example below:

//{findWhat:"\\s+"}
