Hi Oscar,

Hai Bill,

Ya i'm trying to put the image in the 2nd page of 2nd spread...

But i dont know about facing pages... what is that?

ya i tried the above codes by using the index_training.html...

Do u know about pasting the image in the 2nd page of 2nd spread?

Plzz explain me...

And also about facing pages...

thanks for ur reply..

senthil.

I may be wrong here but I'm assuming that GetNthSpreadUID(1) is spread 2 and GetNthPageUID(1) is page 2. So from the code that you showed, it seems that you are trying to put the image in page 2 of spread 2 which is page 3 of the document if you are using facing pages.<br /><br />>UIDRef parentUIDRef(iDataBase,iSpreadList->GetNthSpreadUID(1)); <br />InterfacePtr <ISpread> iSpread (parentUIDRef,IID_ISPREAD); <br />int32 numOfPagesInSpread= iSpread->GetNumPages(); <br />UID pageUID=iSpread->GetNthPageUID(1); <br /><br />senthil, you might want to consider opening a developer support case.<br />Have you went through the InDesign/InCopy CS/CS2 online training content?<br />http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/indesign/index_training.html

Hi Oscar,

Thanks for ur helpful reply....

Ur support will be very useful for the beginners like me...

I dont know How to declare for the following errors...

error C2065: 'doc' : undeclared identifier
error C2065: 'dataBase' : undeclared identifier
error C3861: 'dataBase': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup

I declared the following codings for the 'doc' and 'database'
keywords....

IDocument *doc =myContext->GetContextDocument();
IDataBase *dataBase = ::GetUIDRef(iDocument).GetDataBase();
if (dataBase == nil){
ASSERT(dataBase);
break;
}

If i declared like this, the above errors were occured...

How shall i declare for those two keywords?

Is there any special declarations available for those two keywords?

Plzz explain me....

thanks..

Hi, senthil<br />If not a complete piece of working code, it will give yo some hints.<br />As you can see here you choose spread and page.<br /><br />InterfacePtr<ISpreadList> iSpreadList(doc, IID_ISPREADLIST);<br /> int32 numSpreads = iSpreadList->GetSpreadCount();<br /> UIDRef parentUIDRef(database,iSpreadList->GetNthSpreadUID(whatspread));<br /> InterfacePtr <ISpread> iSpread (parentUIDRef,IID_ISPREAD) ;<br /> int32 numPages=iSpread->GetNumPages();<br /> UID pageUID=iSpread->GetNthPageUID(whatpage) ;<br /> UIDRef pageUIDRef(database,pageUID) ;<br /> <br /> UIDRef placeUIDRef = layoutHelper.GetActiveSpreadLayerRef(parentUIDRef,kFalse);<br /> <br /> InterfacePtr<IGeometry> pasteGeometry(parentUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());<br /> PMRect boundsInPageCoords(x,y,z,t);<br /> PMRect boundsInParentCoords = layoutHelper.PageToSpread(pageUIDRef, boundsInPageCoords);<br /> <br /> UIFlags uiFlags = K2::kMinimalUI;<br /> UIDRef ref = layoutHelper.PlaceFileInFrame(chFile,<br /> placeUIDRef,<br /> boundsInParentCoords,<br /> uiFlags, <br /> kFalse,<br /> kFalse, <br /> kFalse);<br /><br />Regards.<br />Oscar.
