rename photos by page number
Hi everyone!
After I finish my project I have to send my project (book, magazine, etc.) to our archive.
And there is one problem, that takes a lot of time. Before sending project to the archive I must rename all photos by page number in which they are. For example: page_1.tiff, page_2.tiff... and so on. Is there any script that will do it automatically.

turn off live update of cross references
I'm using Indesign CS6 and javascript.
Is there a way to temporary turn off the 'live update' feature of cross references between separate indesign files?
We find this feature to be a real pain if more than one person is trying to work with the files as it slows everything dramatically.
I've searched through the DOM and Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: Table of Contents but I guess I don't know the right terminology to look for.
Hope you can help.
Thanks,

Multi paged document into individual PDF pages - with names
I have an InDesign document that I use to create sell sheets for groups of sales people using data merge.
I'm wondering if there's an easy way to extract these pages as individual pdf pages that have the names of each page (D_Smith.pdf, RJones.pdf etc.)
Currently I do this using Acrobat and extract pages and manually tag each pdf.

frozen overflows
Hi,
Could you help me to find a reason of this effect:
myTable is 4 cells table - all with some text contents.
First - I set every cells width to 6pt (all overflows) and second - i try to grow width till overflows is true.
If I run this loop as a part of bigger code - it is a neverending loop.
Alert show me cell width step by step, and even it is bigger then the content needs - overflows keeps value: true.
If I stop script (is started from ESTK) - overflows is false.
If I run this loop as a separate part of code - everything is OK.
.....
for (var k = 0; k < myTable.cells.length; k++)
{
do {
myTable.cells[k].width ++;
alert (k + ": " + myTable.cells[k].width + ": " + myTable.cells[k].overflows);
}
while (myTable.cells[k].overflows);
}
.....
where should I look for mistake if this overflow property's seems like frozen?

Can i copy text that's in a specific char. style to an anchored object using a script?
Hi,
i was just wondering, is it possible to copy words that are in a specific paragraph style to an anchored text frame, using a script.
For example this sentence:
Is this possible? Yes it is.
The whole sentence has the paragraph style ‘question’.
The sentence ‘Yes it is’ has a char. style ‘solution’.
Can a script cut all the words with char. style ‘solution’ and place it in an anchored text frame at the same spot?
I hope you understand what i’m trying to achieve.
This is a bit hard to explain in words.

Table cells - Problem with merged cells
Hi
I was experiencing very weird behavior with my tables until I realized that it was caused by merged cells
My script gives a dialog which allows the user to choose from which column to start and from which row.
As the script iterates through the cells in the selection I was getting weird results
Through using .select() function I was able to see that depending on the column, some times row 5 could be which seems to be row 3!
The reason was because of merged cells in that row
I.e., when some cells are merged together, only the first column of those merged cells is recognized - the others are not
so it comes out that when merging cells from column 3 to 5, column 3 has a cell in that row, columns 4 and 5 do not, and column 6 does!
Is there a way to get around this behavior?
Thanks

Automate fractions using a script.
Hi,
i was looking to automate the layout of fraction with a script.
The script has to change 1/200, 1/20, 1/33 to fractions:
When we do it manually, we insert an anchored textframe which contains a 2 row/1 column table.
We then copy the numbers in the cells.
I found the script below in a previous discussion.
But i get an error 30480 on line 14.
I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to scripting, so can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?
-------------------
var theDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myTableStyle = "tabelbreuk"; //MUST be set!!
var myCellStyle = "celbreuk"//MUST be set!!
var myObjectStyle = "TF-breuk"//MUST be set!!
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+/\\d+"; //should find all occurrences of number(s) + / + numbers(s)
var searchResults = theDoc.findGrep();
for(var i = searchResults.length -1; i >= 0; i--)
{
var foundFraction = searchResults[i];
var newTextFrame = foundFraction.insertionPoints[0].textFrames.add({geometricBounds: [0,0,foundFraction.leading, foundFraction.parentTextFrames[0].geometricBounds[3] - foundFraction.parentTextFrames[0].geometricBounds[1]], appliedObjectStyle:theDoc.objectStyles.itemByName(myObjectStyle)});
var tmpDest = foundFraction.move(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING, newTextFrame);
var fractionTable= tmpDest.convertToTable('\r', '/', 1);
fractionTable.appliedTableStyle = "tabelbreuk"
setTableWidth(fractionTable);
newTextFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
}
function setTableWidth(fractionTable){
var widthArray = [];
var allCells = fractionTable.cells;
for(var c = 0; c < fractionTable.cells.length; c++){
var aCell = fractionTable.cells[c];
aCell.appliedCellStyle = "celbreuk"
widthArray.push((aCell.texts[0].endHorizontalOffset - aCell.texts[0].horizontalOffset) + aCell.leftInset + aCell.rightInset)
}
widthArray.sort(Numsort);
fractionTable.width = widthArray[widthArray.length-1]

Script to navigate to next or previous document
Hi,
since CC it's impossible to assign the shortcut CTRL-TAB to "next document" and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB to "previous document"
what I found out is, that it is possible to assign these shortcuts to a script, so, if I had a script that go's to next document and one to go to previous document, I can assign those shortcuts to these scripts and my problem is solved (in a way)
So now I have two little questions,
1. how to make a script that takes me to the next document
2. how to make a script that takes me to the previous document
I know how to edit scripts, but scripting itself is like Chinese for me :-)
Thanks in advance for helping me out!

Summing cells in a row
Hi
I have a table with many rows
Sometimes I have to choose a few cells from a few columns and do some mathematical equation, and write into another cell
E.g. I select columns 3-5 in rows 8-20
I want to row by row get sum of the 3 columns selected, and the print it into the next column - column 6
Is there an easy way to work with the cells selected in this situation
Or do we have to iterate through the cells until we find which ones are selected and getting the row# and column# of the table
If someone can help me we this I'd appreciate it
Thanks
Davey
