Hi, I can't help you with that (need time to investigate it). We use InDesignServer for this kind of stuff.

With grouping: var document = app.activeDocument var items = document.allPageItems; var textFrame = null; for(index = 0; index < items.length; index++) { if(items[index].name == "fitText") { textFrame= items[index]; } } if(textFrame != null) { var minimumHorizontalScale = 50; var horizontalScale = textFrame.parentStory.horizontalScale; while(textFrame.overflows && horizontalScale > minimumHorizontalScale) { textFrame.parentStory.horizontalScale = horizontalScale--; } } For opening automatically, see: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4005956

Hi, The script currently works without groups. Can you try without the grouping (ungroup the "fitText" item in InDesign).

Hi, Did you use the exact same name "fitText" in the InDesign document (mind the capital "T")?

Hi, Does this work: var document = app.activeDocument // Give your text item the name "fitText" (in InDesign, double click on the item in the layer panel) var textFrame = document.textFrames.itemByName("fitText"); var minimumHorizontalScale = 50; var horizontalScale = textFrame.parentStory.horizontalScale; while(textFrame.overflows && horizontalScale > minimumHorizontalScale) { textFrame.parentStory.horizontalScale = horizontalScale--; }

Hi, Have you tried opening a command window (as Administrator!) and running "regsvr32"? Note that on (at least on my machine) a 64bit machine it is also named "regsvr32".

This should work (exports every page): var app:Application = InDesign.app; var document:Document = app.activeDocument; if(document != null) { document.exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, new File("C:\\Temp\\Export.jpg")); }

People who are still having problems with this should add the "AslSupport.lib" to the additional dependencies in the linker settings (Visual Studio).

Hi, I don't think it is possible to convert your indesign file from CS5 to CS3 as CS3 does not support IDML.

Hi, Do you mean something like this (not tested): //Map the XML tags to the defined styles. var myDocument = app.documents.item(0); //Part 1. myDocument.xmlImportMaps.add(myDocument.xmlTags.item("TAGNAME_1"), myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("myparagraphStyle_1")); myDocument.xmlImportMaps.add(myDocument.xmlTags.item("TAGNAME_2"), myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("myparagraphStyle_2")); myDocument.xmlImportMaps.add(myDocument.xmlTags.item("TAGNAME_3"), myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("myparagraphStyle_3")); //Part 2. if(myDocument.xmlTags.item("TAGNAME_a1") != null) { myDocument.xmlImportMaps.add(myDocument.xmlTags.item("TAGNAME_a1"), myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("myparagraphStyle_1")); myDocument.xmlImportMaps.add(myDocument.xmlTags.item("TAGNAME_a2"), myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("myparagraphStyle_2")); myDocument.xmlImportMaps.add(myDocument.xmlTags.item("TAGNAME_a3"), myDocument.paragraphStyles.item("myparagraphStyle_3")); } //Map the XML tags to the defined styles. myDocument.mapXMLTagsToStyles();

Something like this should get you started: var document = app.documents.add(); var nrOfCircles = 100; var nrOfColumns = 10; var top = 40; var left = 40; var width = 20; var height = 20; var space = 5; for (var index = 0; index < nrOfCircles; index++) { if(index > 0 && index % nrOfColumns == 0) { // Reset left left = 40; // Start new row top += height + 5; } addCircle(index + 1, left, top, left + width, top + height); left+= width + space; } function addCircle(number, left, top, right, bottom) { var circle = document.ovals.add(); var textFrame = circle.textFrames.add(); var text = textFrame.texts.firstItem(); circle.geometricBounds = [top, left, bottom, right]; circle.strokeColor = document.swatches.itemByName("Black"); circle.strokeWeight = 2; textFrame.geometricBounds = [top, left, bottom, right]; text.pointSize = 12; text.justification = Justification.CENTER_ALIGN; textFrame.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.CENTER_ALIGN; textFrame.contents = String(number); }

I think you're missing the point. You should not add pages in the loop. The smart text reflow does the adding for you (when there is text overflow).

Hi, Not sure if this helps but in the past I've done something like this: var document = app.documents.add(); var textFrame = document.textFrames.add(); var maxTextSize = 100; var minTextSize = 10; var maxHorizontalScale = 200; var minHorizontalScale = 100; var textSize = maxTextSize; var paragraphs = null; textFrame.geometricBounds = [10, 10, 60, 200]; textFrame.contents = "Lorem ipsum is the best"; paragraph = textFrame.paragraphs[0]; paragraph.pointSize = textSize; while(textFrame.overflows && textSize > minTextSize) { textSize--; paragraph.pointSize = textSize; } paragraph.horizontalScale = maxHorizontalScale; while(textFrame.overflows && paragraph.horizontalScale > minHorizontalScale) { paragraph.horizontalScale--; }

Hi, I think it is possible in InDesign 5 via "asynchronousExportFile". You can also create multiple server instances and let each instance generate a jpg export. Message was edited by: 2i_Geert

Hi, You have 2 options: - Use InDesign Server and write a program which will run your script via the InDesign Server, or - Write a program which starts InDesign (desktop) and use COM to interact with InDesign and run your script.

Yes it is possible via scripting but you have to loop over each pageItem that you want to export and pass the desired filename: pageItem.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, new File(filename));
