I want to replace it with another format under the original path.Can these three be combined into a drop down list, for dialog boxes I always find it not so easy.var selectedFrame = app.selection[0]; var link = selectedFrame.images[0].itemLink; var linkPsd = link.linkResourceURI.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '.PSD'); var linkTif = link.linkResourceURI.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '.TIF'); var linkJpg = link.linkResourceURI.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '.JPG'); link.reinitLink(linkURI); 

I have an INDB file im trying to make with about 100-INDD files, WHen i open any one INDD file its all fine and everything looks good. WHen i go to make the INDB file for this book the INDB file end up shifting elements everywhere and messes-up the layout and formatting for the whole book. Elements from the right pages are on left side and vice-versa. THe book is in order in groups of 4 so i know its not a numbering issue.   

Hi @rob day The panel is still a bit difficult for me to really figure out.I want to select my target character style from a dropdown list,and I don't know how to build the panel and get the selected character style.Thank you very much.app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item(mySeleChaStyle); 

What is the method to search for a certain character style (such as Character Style AAA), identify its A, B, or C columns in two (or three) columns, and then apply Character Style A, Character Style B, and Character Style C respectively The manual workload is too heavy, help~ please Thank you. 

I'm working with an InDesign document containing links to text anchors within the same document. The links look fine in the InDesign Hyperlinks panel, with correct sources connecting to correct destinations. When exported to EPUB, the links translated into HTML all work fine. But when exported to PDF, they almost all fail, even though Acrobat seems to recognize them as legitimate links. A colleague and I have been tying ourselves in knots over this for a week. We are both experienced InDesign users whose livelihoods depend on working links! 

For example, my script name has two cases:Rename Links with Caption behind 【@】 characters.jsxRename Links with Caption behind 【】characters.jsx The key character of the first one is @, the second one is emptyNow I want to get the characters between【】.If there is content in 【】, get it, if  it is empty, get empty(""). Thank you very much.

But I just want to modify the content after @, @ and its previous numbers remain unchanged.For example, this is the end:P040-001@Great Village Mango BaseThank you very much ~ /* Links Rename Selected Copyright 2023 William Campbell All Rights Reserved https://www.marspremedia.com/contact Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted.

I am absolutely furious with Adobe support for misleading me. I have recently retired after using Adobe products and paying for them outright and then through subscription for decades (back to Pagemaker in 1989). When I chatted with TWO support people about my subscription and needing to cancel it (INDD, PS, AI, ACROBAT), they both assured me.... and I asked multiple times.... that I would still be able to open and work with my old files if the companies that I sold my company to at retirement needed my help with anything. Here I am today, trying to open a file using INDD that still resides on my hard drive, and every time I try to open it, I get the window saying I need to pay for a plan. When I close that window, the file window that I just tried to open, closes down. I sold my design firm to two other firms based on location (northern US clients went to one company, southern clients to another) with the understanding that I could troubleshoot any issues they might have with fil

I made a script that takes the selected image in indesign, sends it to photoshop, uses the select subject command, masks it and saves it as a tiff with transparancy. This is just for rough cut outs and it speed up my workflow quite a bit but I'm running into one snag. Indesign isn't updating the link. I tried onResult with a delay but thats not working. I end up having to refresh the link manually which isn't the end of the world but it would be nice to not have to do that. Any one know how to get that working? if (app.documents.length > 0 && app.selection.length > 0 && app.selection[0].constructor.name == "Rectangle") { var selectedFrame = app.selection[0]; if (selectedFrame.images.length > 0) { var imageFile = new File(selectedFrame.images[0].itemLink.filePath); if (imageFile.exists) { app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL; var photoshop = BridgeTalk.getSpec

Hi,I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem or knows of any possible trouble shooting ideas. When I create an object and fill it with a color, then adjust the transparency of the object horizontal lines appear. The lines will change as I move the object or overlay it with another transparent object. These lines do not appear when I export the composition. I am using Windows 10. I have updated the computer and the graphics drivers. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program with it's default settings. See below for examples:

I have multiple parameters in my library function like this:function creatStyle(paraStn, tabStn, contiParaStn, bodyParaStn, headerParaStn, bodyStn, headerStn, contiStn, footerStn, capLStn, capCStn, capCSDhtn)I have multiple main programs, and every time I've changed a parameter in the library, I have to go and change each of them, forgetting parts and getting errors that will make me look for half a day.Is there any way to make:creatStyle(......) ;withfunction creatStyle(......) ;always be automation consistent.I change the parameters of the function in the library, and it is automatically updated in the main program.

i am trying to paste hebrew words from word and the word flips around what should i do 

For the last few months, my InDesign file icons are white squares.  I hoped that the new version, which I installed today, might fix this annoying issue. But no dice. I've tried some of the suggestions (resetting default program for .indd files, resetting my icon cache, etc.) No luck. I am running Windows 11. Suggestions to fix this issue? Thanks.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. I've tried everything to fix this text from disappearing when I adjust the box. Ignore text wrap is on. It's not aligned to the baseline grid. It's on a completely blank spread. It does this even when the bullet points aren't there. I've also updated the application, running on v20.4. Anything I look up, it just gives me the same options. Someone please help

I was using Indesign the the tool set with the three subject eraser disappeared. How can I recoup this set? Thank you! 

I've created a territory sales map that includes an interactive US map that anchors to pages for individual states (the document is long). In addition to the map I have a list of names, emails and phone numbers. The emails are not working. There are no dots in the status bar but instead I get an envelope icon. When I look at the preflight panel it tells me there are no errors. I am setting up my emails by going to Hyperlinks->URL-> and then typing mailto:email.address@co.com. I uncheck "Shared Hyperlink Destinaton" and there are no extra spaces. I even tried setting up as Email then typing email address. Sometimes I end up with extra characters in the URL so I delete the hyperlink and type it again. I've tried all the things ChatGPT and google tells me and the email links still open a web browser instead of email. I attached a version with hyperlinks listed for the first few names on pg 2 under Alabama so you can see what I'm working with. Please help?

Hello everyone, I am often working with different screen sizes, moving from a wider screen to smaller; it happened to me that a pop-up window - in this case, the Find&Replace window - got stuck in the screen's corner and I am unable to move it from there because - obviously for some reason - the enabling control element is only in the top bar of such windows. Can you help me with it?  Thank you.

Hello,I'm a professional book designer. Since last Friday's update, all eBooks are exporting with the entire TOC generating (RSC-005) errors--every link. I'm exporting 3.0. I reexported an older project which was good and it has same errors. This is a BUG. I had tech support access my computer, and he says it's not and that Adobe doesn't care about 3rd party verification. However, VENDORS do and have rejected the eBook. Can anyone help? My business is dead in the water until this is resolved.Thank you, Christine

Hi all, Does anyone know where below mentioned sript can be found: zenodesign.com/scripts/PagestoPSLayers.zip I had it installed but disappeared after the last update. It enables users to export an INDD document to a layered PSD file - amazing!Thanks!!  

Tried everything - I just want to copy/cut and paste text. I keep getting this (see attached) running Office 365.  This is the worst nightmare because we know Adobe will blame MSOFT and MSoft will blame Adobe, and I am stuck. If I try to export the file to RTF it just exports the first text frame....:( Any ideas? SF
