Hi,
Recently we moved all the images to AEM. Is it possible to place the images into Indesign using Javascript?
I other words, can we place images with URL?
So far the useful one is http://www.rorohiko.com/podcast/geturl.zip
Regards,
K

Hi K,
Also, if your image is available through HTTP, give a look to PlaceWebImage snippet (IdExtenso):
IdExtenso/PlaceWebImage.jsx at master · indiscripts/IdExtenso · GitHub

Hi K,
Since IdExtenso doesn't offer a full documentation yet, it is not clear to everyone that it is a framework, not a standalone script. You need to download and have the $$.jsxinc file (and the underlying subdirectories) at some location, then your #include directive will work:
#include 'your/particular/path/to/$$.jsxinc'
and for the extra modules:
#include 'your/particular/path/to/etc/$$.Web.jsxlib'
// etc
(Also, ESTK is a no go for experimenting IdExtenso. A true EDI is highly recommended.)
However, considering that you need to retrieve HTTPS secured resources requiring additional authentication steps through login/pwd, there is no chance that $$.Web could address your needs (so far.) So it's probably a waste of time to install IdExtenso for this project. The PlaceWebImage.jsx snippet I've linked above works fine with simple http requests, but it fails with the kind of URLs you showed me.
Best,
Marc

The simplest solution with HTTPS is probably to have a PHP script on a live server that can fetch the images for you...

Hi TaW,

FWIW there is this plugin from our dear friend Luca emerasoft.srl​ but I can't find it anymore (was this removed from market ?)
It allowed url based links inside InDesign. However as your problem stood with AEM, I thought it made sense to push a related piece of info.

Hi Loic,
Are you referrring the below link?
Yes I was. I had hard times to find the link but you got it. Indeed I think it's no longer distributed unless I am wrong but it was a good one.
