Hi,
I'm on a Macbook pro and without a number pad so I can't assign a shortcut for the character styles. I did hear of a roundabout solution where you can assign a shortcut to a script which applies the character styles. Can anyone write this script?
My character style is called 'Features bold'.
I'm new to scripting, sorry if this is a dumb question.
Cheers
Hi
How to convert all PowerMath equations to mathML
Thanks,
I'm trying to import a word file into a frame:
var myTransFile= File.openDialog ("Select TRANSLATION File", "WORD files:*.doc", true);
if(myTransFile==null)
exit();
transFrame.place(File(myTransFile),true);
transFrame is the frame I'm trying to import to -- it's valid (there's text present in it, and alert(transFrame.contents) shows the text.
Any idea what I'm missing?
Thanks.
I was told that a a find/change by list script would help me with my need.
How can I create a dictionary so I can use specific spellings and characters in my document? Example: we spell numbers from one - nine instead of using the actual number 1-9. We also use uppercase ins one words always etc.
We get documents and we proofread them and then we apply this rules across the board to emphasize importance in the documents. I hope that makes sense.
Please see examples below and advise how to apply and create a list script:

I'm trying to write a script that will update the swatches in some old documents with the CMYK values from a new document. app.activeDocument.loadSwatches(myStyleFile) pulls in the new swatches OK, but the names are the same, so I end up with two swatches of the same name except that the new one has "2" appended to it.
I don't see anything like a globalClashResolution available for swatches. But maybe I just can't find it.

Hi

I apologise in advance for posting on a technical site for InDesign developers, but our company (Dorling Kindersley) is looking for a full-time permanent developer to join our team. I've been looking for some months now and I would really appreciate some advice on where or how InDesign scripters look for work, as our role is quite specialised.
We can offer an attractive package and although I'm biased as I work there, Dorling Kindersley really is a nice place to work - fun, friendly and super creative. I would welcome advice or for someone to approach me if they're interested.
It's advertised as full-time and permanent but for the right candidate we can offer flexible working conditions.
Best

Lunchtimes are often spent getting out and sampling the local cuisine in the vast number of restaurants and eateries around the office.
You’ll get to work in a relaxed, sociable and friendly environment, working alongside our award-winning creative staff to develop their ideas for tools and get satisfaction from freeing them up to be even more creative.
Skills required:
Excellent skills and experience in using Javascript
Experience of working with Macs and Adobe applications preferred
Other programming skills and experience an advantage, e.g. Applescript, Adobe InDesign Document Object Model, XML structure, TDD, Shell Script, Obj-C, C++ and Xcode

Hi,
I am new to GREP and cannot figure out how to make this work:
I scan some pages and often the same mistake occurs:
The scanner mistakes "1" for "I". (Capital i)
Where it shoud say "1. december" it says "I. december"
"10. januar" becomes "I0. januar"
"2014" becomes "20I4" - would be nice to make a GREP search here I think.
I hope that someone can help me.

Hello
I have Placed a PDF on a Layout in InDesign, I was Javascript to re-scale this to 117.7970
I have found the code
app.selection.horizontalScale=117.7970;
app.selection.verticleScale=117.7970;
But with this i have to select each image then this will apply, it would really like to use a foreach javascript loop so that if i have multiple PDF's placed on each page i can re-scale them all in one go.
i mean the question would be how to use the above in a foreach loop for image placed PDF in the layout?
Thanks
Hello,
I found a script here which exports the active document as a PDF to the desktop.
I would like for it to change the file name such that the first two characters are removed.
Example:
The existing file name is: X_pagelayout.indd
I would like this script to create a PDF named: pagelayout.pdf
Thoughts?
Your help is very much appreciated.
var myFolder = "~\Desktop";
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocname = myDoc.name.split(".indd");
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(new File(myFolder+"\\" + myDocname.join(".pdf"))));
