AMD like module loading

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 02:41:47 GMT

Hi, I need some critics for the following code snippet. I am trying to implement an AMD like functionality with ESTK and was wondering if I was doing it the right way or the wrong way. ESTK already has the ability to load scripts via `#include` preprocessor but it loads the script at the current scope, which might lead to bigger problems like overriding local variables. My approach is to wrap this preprocessor with the `require()` function and do the script loading there. This way variable collision is avoided, considering `var` is explicitly used for all variable declarations.

function require(module) {
    var __module__;

    function define(callback) {
        __module__ = callback();
    }
   
    // eval is considered evil, I don't know if this could be an exception
    eval('#include "' + module + '";');

    // This also has the same result as above but I'm not sure which one is better or faster. 
    // $.evalFile(File(module));

    if (typeof __module__ === 'undefined') {
        throw('Module not loaded');
    }

    return __module__;
}


(function () {
    // relative loading doesn't work. Yet.
    var moduleA = require('/absolute/path/to/modulea.jsx');
    var moduleB = require('/absolute/path/to/moduleb.jsx');

    $.writeln(moduleA.prop1);
    $.writeln(moduleA.prop2);

    $.writeln(moduleB.prop1);
    $.writeln(moduleB.prop2);
}());

I don't know how to attach files here, please just save the code below as modulea.jsx and moduleb.jsx and change the path above where these files are required/loaded.

Save this as modulea.jsx

define(function () {
    return {
        prop1: 'module A prop 1',
        prop2: 'module A prop 2'
    }
});

Save this as moduleb.jsx

define(function () {
    return {
        prop1: 'module B prop 1',
        prop2: 'module B prop 2'
    }
});

Error while placing word to indesign

Hi All,

I have this word document which contains hyperlinks and index entries. When I place it in InDesign CS6, the hyperlinks are off. Screenshot below shows hyperlink boxes being off as it appears on InDesign CS6.

Here's the word document I used for this test. ddd.docx - Google Drive

Thanks,

Call external apps from script

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 28 Aug 2014 05:21:06 GMT

Hi,

A want to be able to run an external application via script, just like how we do it in node.js via 'child_process' module. The reason for this is that I want my epub converted to mobi automatically after the export. The app that I will be calling is kindlegen.exe. Is this possible in extend script? I have tried the tutorials on ExternalObject but have no luck making it work.

Create a build script for Extend Script

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 07:09:10 GMT

I have several scripts I want exported as binary via "File > Export as Binary" in ExtendScript Toolkit. I want to be able to call ESTK via shell script and tell it to compile that certain file.

InDesign CS6 epub generated cover

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 06:26:21 GMT

I am using InDesign CS6 for exporting to epub. InDesign always generates this "301.jpg" file which is set as the first or second page in the spine.

I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to turn off this behavior. I already tried selecting "None", "Rasterize first page", and "Choose Image" from the cover setup dialog. Is there a way to turn this behavior off?
