I need to replace the xml attribute value "M05_LEMO9433_06_SE_CH05" to M05_LEMO5401_06_SE_CH05

In document having more than thousand entries

I have used the below code but it is not working

function AddReturns(){

    this.name = "AddReturns";

    this.xpath = "//p//span//a";

    this.apply = function(myElement, myRuleProcessor){

        with(myElement)

  {

  try{

              //      if (myElement.xmlAttributes.item("href").value.match ("LEMO9433 "))

                        {

                            var fig = myElement.xmlAttributes.itemByName("href").value;

                            var    figv =  fig.replace ("9433", "O5401")

                            myElement.xmlAttributes.itemByName("href").value=figv;

                            }

  //myElement.xmlAttributes.item("id").name = "olinkend";

  }catch(e){}

        }

        return true;

    }

}

Hi, All.

How do I remove a table?

MySpread.TextFrames(I1).Tables(I2).Remove - doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Hi I'm using indesign cs5 and my tif files are corrupting after they are placed into the file. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it a Yosemite v cs5 issue?

Hi folks,

I was analyzing some strange behavior of JavaScript concerning memory consumption, garbage collection. Following some questions, observations:

1. Inner Functions/Objects/Function Pointers:

function Hashtable() {

this.valueList = new Array();

var test = function() { return 1; }

this.putValue = function(name, value) {

this.valueList[name] = value;

}

}

for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {

var hash = new Hashtable();

hash.putValue("Key" + i, "Value" + i);

delete hash;

hash = null;

}

Oberservation: Running the script with the inner function test, the memory will rise per loop, despite the use of delete and null per loop. Because of the memory consumption the execution time will rise exponential. Without the inner function, the memory won't rise and the script is much faster.

Question: What is so special on an inner function for the JavaScript engine? What kind of engine are you using, does it has a JIT compiler? Why can't I kill the object references with delete/setting null?

2. Usage of targetengine directive:

//Startup Scripts/script1.jsx

#targetengine "my_special_target"

function PersistentObject() {

     this.getXYZ = function() {...}

}

...

MyPersistendObject = new PersistentObject();

...

//Scripts/script2.jsx

#targetengine "my_special_target"

var newObject = new Object();

MyPersistendObject.getXYZ();

Oberservation: Using this code from within a Startup Script, I can create peristend objects, I can use from a second script. The second script needs to "connect" to the same targetengine to call something like MyPersistendObject.getXYZ(). That's very usefull for caching etc. But all my code within the second script seems to be peristent as well. If I run the second script, all objects will be created twice and the references of the first run will reside too. This means the memory consumption will rise linear with the objects of second script per run. The execution time will rise exponential because of expensive memory allocation.

Question: Does targetengine means no run of garbage collection at all? How can I override reference instead of creating new ones. Can I influence the garbage collection at all (with $.gc())? Is their a difference between the garbage collection of InDesign CS4 vs. InDesign Server  CS4?

Thanks for any information.

Hi,

I found memory leak while converting indd file to pdf.

I export a 2.21 MB indd file and it will leak about 200kb per time.

I have reset some 'big' variables null to release and even called $.gc() but it doesn't work at all.

What's the problem.

Code is below:

var result = "No documents are open................";

// var argsNames=app.scriptArgs.getValue("Name").split(";")

argsNames = arguments;

var fileName = argsNames[0];

var argPreset;

var storeLocation;

if (argsNames && argsNames[1]) {

    argPreset = argsNames[1];

}

if (argsNames && argsNames[2]) {

    storeLocation = argsNames[2];

}

Log("Params:" + fileName + ";" + argPreset + ";" + storeLocation)

//OpenOptions.DEFAULT_VALUE

//OpenOptions.OPEN_ORIGINAL

//OpenOptions.OPEN_COPY

var myDocument = app.open(new File(fileName),OpenOptions.OPEN_COPY);

//Fill in a valid file path on your system.

var myFolder = new Folder(storeLocation);

var result = "saved to folder:  " + myFolder.fullName;

if (!myFolder.exists && !myFolder.create()) {

    result = "Not saved.  Unable to create the folder:  " + myFile.parent.fullName;

} else {

    //myExport2SepratedPages(myDocument, myFolder.fullName, argPreset);

    myExportAllPages(myDocument, myFolder.fullName, argPreset);

}

//myDocument.close();

myDocument = null;

//var endMark=app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.currentMemoryMark);

//app.dumpBetweenMemoryMarks(startMark,endMark);

result+=($.summary());

$.gc();

//export to a single pdf file

function myExportAllPages(myDocument, myFolderName, presetFile) {

    var start = new Date();

    var myBaseName = myDocument.name;

    myPageName = myDocument.pages.item(0).name;

    app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = PageRange.ALL_PAGES;

    app.importFile(ExportPresetFormat.DOCUMENT_PRESETS_FORMAT, presetFile);

    //Generate a file path from the folder name, the base document name, and the page name.

    //Replace the colons in the page name (e.g., "Sec1:1") wtih underscores.

    var myRegExp = new RegExp(":", "gi");

    myPageName = myPageName.replace(myRegExp, "_");

  //test

  var sufix=Math.random()*100000;

    myFilePath = myFolderName + "/" + myBaseName + "_" + myPageName +sufix+ ".pdf";

    myFile = new File(myFilePath);

    myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile);

  myDocument.close(SaveOptions.NO);

    myDocument = null;//delete document

    var end = new Date();

    Log("Start:" + start + ";End:" + end)

}

function GetScriptPath() {

    // This function returns the path to the active script, even when running ESTK

    try {

        return app.activeScript.parent.fsName;

    } catch (e) {

        return File(e.filePath.parent.fsName);

    }

}

function Log(message) {

    var today = new Date();

    var logFile = new File(GetScriptPath() + "/myLog.txt");

    if (!logFile.exists) {

        // make new log file

        logFile.open("w");

        logFile.write(String(today) + "\nThe following messages were logged:\n");

        logFile.close();

    }

    logFile.open("e");

    logFile.seek(0, 2);

    logFile.write("\n" + message);

    logFile.close();

     logFile=null;

}

want to find the nested applied characters and apply the Cstyle, but my code capture all those text in a document. Can you please guide to me,

nestedreport();

function nestedreport(){

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myDocPath = myDoc.filePath;

var myDocName = myDoc.name;

try{

app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;

app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.+";

myFind=myDoc.findGrep(false);

var ntexts = new Array;

for(i=myFind.length-1;i>=0;i--)

{

    if(myFind[i].contents.nestedStyles==null)

    {

        ntexts.push(myFind[i].contents)

        ntexts.appliedCharacterStyle="Nested";

        }

    }

}

catch(e){}

}

Hi,

I'm wondering, how can I change second page size in 3-page spread with ExtendScript?

(I'm trying to generate cover with spine)

Hi All,

I am getting the "Object invalid" error message for below code. please check and suggest me, where is error occurred in my code.

var myDoc =  app.activeDocument;

var myLayer = myDoc.layers;

for(var i  = 0; i < myLayer.length; i++)

  { 

      if(myLayer[i].name == "WEBPDF" && myLayer[i].visible == true)

        {  

            try

            {

                    myDoc.revert();

                    myLayer[i].visible = false;

                    myDoc.save();

                }

            catch(e){

                    alert(e);

                }

            }

I have tried a number of ways to input mkhedruli alphabet but InDesign doesn't seem to accept it. I have the required fonts installed. Any ideas?

I run to create a new InDesign document:

app.documents.add();

The new document is given a name "Untitled-1". How specify name of the document without saving?

My apologies if this is not posted in the proper category...

Ok, here's my issue...

I have a table with 5 rows.  Sometimes, not all of the rows in the table will contain data.  Is it possible for InDesign to automatically collapse a row if there is no data present in the cells in that row?

Thanks!

Hello everybody.

I've been working on a script that works on an open InDesign file with data merge fields. When run, the script prompts the folder for a directory of text files, then a directory to put the resulting PDFs. It looks like this:

#target indesign
main();

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;//the indesign file that is currently open 
function main() {     var f = Folder.selectDialog("Select the text files");    var finished = Folder.selectDialog('select folder for finished PDFs').fsName + '/'; //selects a folder to put the finished files    if (f == null) return;    var files = f.getFiles();    var imgs = new Array();    var file, ext;    for (var n = 0; n < files.length; n++) {        file = decodeURI(files[n].name);        ext = file.substring(file.lastIndexOf(".")+1,file.length);        if ( ext == "txt" || ext == "csv" || ext == "TXT" || ext == "CSV") {                  imgs.push( file );        }    }    for (var n = 0; n < imgs.length; n++) {     var mergeTo = f.absoluteURI + '/' + imgs[n];       var pdfTo = finished + imgs[n] + '.pdf'    myDoc.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource(mergeTo);    myDoc.dataMergeProperties.exportFile(finished, "[High Quality Print]", );           }     }

As I step through the script in debug in ESTK, everything looks fine until line 22 when I keep getting "undefined is not an object". But when I look at the data browser, everything looks like it should be where it is:

My thoughts are that it has something to do with the filename referencing used by selectDataSource. But I have tried dozens of permutations of the filenaming using fsName, absoluteURI, and I really am stuck... and have been for some time. I've tried not to bother the forum, and I am sure that my coding should be correct, but clearly it isn't. Any pointers to solving this would be appreciated.

hi

I need little help. Image catalog is script which I use every day but need some modification.

1. I want that indd doc which script create is double sided

2. Every page in indd is SAME size AS image which is placed on it

3. Want to set default image location so when script ask where images is to point always in same location, not on desktop.

this is what i have now, 1x1 sheme, one image per page, default location desktop, single sided
