[Ann] QR Code for InDesign CS4 and up

leider existiert diese zip nicht mehr. alternative für inDes CS4 ?

Merhaba bu scriptte eklediğim metnin yazı fontu ve bold italik gibi özelliklerini ayarlayabiliyormuyum.

Could you please send or post a .js file?! I would like to see what you have done with the code...

Nice work. You might find some useful code in the 'zend-framework-matrixcode-module', its used to generate vector eps and pdf QR codes on http://qrcode.littleidiot.be/.

Cheers

I work for Meadows Publishing Solutions and we have released an updated version of our 2D Bar Code Module for Adobe InDesign with a FREE license option for producing QR codes. This new software module is designed to generate QR Code, Data Matrix, and PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes directly in any Adobe InDesign document.

To help introduce the product, we are currently offering a FREE license of the module which is limited to the production of QR codes. The free license can be obtained by visiting http://www.meadowsps.com/2Dforfree

Of course, our hope is that for clients that wish to automate the QR Code creation process via Excel spreadsheets or data files, they might consider a purchase of our DesignMerge variable data software, but this is certainly not a requirement.

To give back to community, here is the script to generate QR codes for business cards created by data merge

It reads text frames starting with MECARD:, empties them and places QRcode rotated 15 degrees counterclockwise. Enjoy!

var _d = app.documents[0];

var _allStories = _d.stories;

for(var nx=_allStories.length-1;nx>=0;nx--){

    var _storyAllTextFrames = _allStories[nx].textContainers;

    for(var mx=_storyAllTextFrames.length-1;mx>=0;mx--){

         _storyAllTextFrames[mx].select(); // change page

         if(_storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents.indexOf('MECARD:')==0){

             var obj = app.doScript(new File(app.activeScript.path+'/qrcode.jsxbin'), ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, [_storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents]);

             _storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents = "";

            var myScaleMatrix = app.transformationMatrices.add({horizontalScaleFactor:.7,

                verticalScaleFactor:.7,counterclockwiseRotationAngle:15});

            obj.transform(CoordinateSpaces.pasteboardCoordinates,AnchorPoint.centerAnchor, myScaleMatrix);            

             //obj.move ([_x,_y]);

         };

    };

};

here is a MECARD template for you:

MECARD:

N:<<Last>>,<<First>>;

TEL:<<Direct>>;

TEL:<<Mobile>>;

EMAIL:<<E-mail>>;

NOTE:<<Position>> at <<Company>>;

Update:

I'm happy to report Patrick's code seems to hold up mathematically. I wrote an independent Reed-Solomon checksum calculator (*), and a QR code of 1,273 characters at Highest Quality, needing an additional 2,430 RS Error Correction bytes, appears to be fully correctly encoded.

(*) Independent of Patrick's implementation in Javascript (in itself based on jsqrencode.js). My version is based on Reed-Solomon for coders and is written in C. It reads the QR code generated by InDesign and can independently verify as much as possible. Test image was 34,225 pixels, not a single bit wrong.

Still, safest is to always check your QR code.

Colly, you took the long way round Actually, the first version of this script did generate a PNG, but I felt it would be easier if the script did as much "right" as possible. But if enough people feel the need, I can re-integrate the PNG code again and add a checkbox or something to write out a PNG file.

(Updates)

1. UTF-8 contents now has Unicode BOM added (ZXing now correctly returns the UTF-8 string, it actually din't before).

2. Only one argument required for external calling with doScript: the text string to be encoded. In that case, error correction level will be L (lowest).

3. When calling with doScript, the returned object is either null (signifying an error), or the QR code object itself. That means you can move it around, scale, or do anything else you want, like this:

obj = app.doScript(new File(app.activeScript.path+'/qrcode.jsxbin'), ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, ["hello world"]);
alert (obj);
obj.move ([0,0]);

looks like it's working to me... wow!

I don't have a smartphone to check the QR code and the iMac can't read the QR code with the inbuilt cam without Quickmark, but did find an online "decoder" to check the QR code generated.

After unembedding the QR code, I went to http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx and submitted the qrcode.tiff which was  generated... which it didn't like. resaved the tiff as a png via photoshop and tried again... worked that time!
