thanks. for a one-time joke... not worth it. Anyway, i'we done it using the magic of copy-paste (two scripts -one to output all the names, anoter to change them based on a long string). all i can tell you is i haven't had such a laugh in ages. the translation itself is absolutly crazy ('Liste 1 Standard' translated form German to Romanian comes out something like 'Winter's first'), and the face of my coleague... priceless!! ps. what's motzai Shabbos?

Hello everybody! i'm trying to play a practical joke on one of my coleagues, by changing all the names of the paragraph styles to another language. getting them and changing them is not much of a problem, but translating them... any way of sending from the script a string to google translate an retrieving the result?

try this: app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().rectangles.everyItem().images[0].fit(FitOptions.CEN TER_CONTENT); assuming you have ony images in your doc. otherwise, you can loop to the pages and rectangles collections (for this you can treat them like an array; for (var i=0; i<pages.length; i++){ myPage=pages; do something bla bla}

the "itemByRange()" returns a ARRAY of objects. to underline them you can either iterate the array and underline every character individualy, or use myTextFrame.texts

1) I'm an almost complete noob when it comes to XML 2) I have an XML with a ssstructure like this: <chapter> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> <list type="disk"> <listitem> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> </listitem> <listitem> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> </listitem> <listitem> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> </listitem> </list> <list type="square"> <listitem> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> </listitem> <listitem> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> </listitem> <listitem> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> <paragraph> bla bla </paragraph> </listitem> </list> </chapter> Is there a easyer way (except iterating all the xmlElements) to find all the lists and apply the appropriate paragraph style (i have a "list_with_disk" paragraphstyle, and a "list_with_square" one)?

nope.. not working for a progressbar. yours is probably because you have no ScriptUI panel.

hmm. really nice ideea. also shoud make the export process a bit faster. so: //here is progressbar code by (i think) Peter Kahrel, a bit modified var ProgressBar = function ( /*str*/ title) { var w = new Window('palette', ' ' + title, { x: 0, y: 0, width: 340, height: 60 }), pb = w.add('progressbar', { x: 20, y: 12, width: 300, height: 12 }, 0, 100), st = w.add('statictext', { x: 10, y: 36, width: 320, height: 20 }, ''); st.justify = 'center'; w.center(); this.reset = function (msg, maxValue) { st.text = msg; pb.value = 0; pb.maxvalue = maxValue || 0; pb.visible = !! maxValue; w.show(); }; this.hit = function (progress) { pb.value=progress; }; this.hide = function () { w.hide(); }; this.close = function () { w.close(); }; }; var myFolder=Folder(app.activeDocument.filePath).selectDlg("PDF folder:"); if (myFolder){ var pBar = new ProgressBar("Export"); for (var i=0; i<app.documents.length; i++) { myDoc=app.documents; expFile = File( myFolder+ '/'+ myDoc.name + '.pdf' ); var myTask=myDoc.asynchronousExportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,expFile,false,app.pdfExportPresets[1]); pBar.reset(myDoc.name,100); while (myTask.percentDone<100) { pBar.hit(myTask.percentDone) } } alert("Done"); }else{alert("Canceld");} still no luck. gets stuck in the while loop.

i think, based on some tests, that the the problem is the showingOptions: bool=false exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,expFile,false,app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("GU")); if I change it to true, it shows the progressbar, but also the options dialog, and that, apparentyl, is unacceptable..

i understand, and the answer is still No, you cannot. VB si a windows global scripting language, runed by the os, like applescript. javascript, or more precised jsx is runned by the Adobe application. So, the app needs to be running. you can, i think to make a vb script to initialize the aplicattion and then call (still from VB) a javascript. i think. but since i never used vb, i'm not sure.

short story.. NO! however, if you run the script from ESTK, you don't need to copy the script in the "Scripts" folder. Don't know exactly if that's what you want.

sorry to bump an old thread, but i was hoping someone made some progress in this matter. i'm in the same situation, i need a indeterminate progress bar for a script, i'we tried using a swf for it, but it only shows after the script has finished running. I can't update de palette/dialog/whatever very often, since my script basicly exports about 5 or 6 PDF's form very large documents, so the ony time i can update is when one PDF is exported, and that will not do.
