I'm getting missing link errors in the log when InDesign Server opens files. The missing links reported are for xml files and snippets. Opening the document and looking in the links pallette shows no missing links. I tried using AppleScript to see if I could access these links but they are not there. I can find the links if I open the document in a text editor so I know they are actually there but I cannot seem to find a way to get rid of them. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

1. Has any one else seen this problem?
2. Is there some way to "clean" the file? ( I already tried doing a save as on the files. )

Hi All,

I have written a javascript and indd template to convert my data in xml to pdf in InDesign. Now I want to use this javascript and indd template in InDesign Server. I have removed all GUI related thing in my script so that it doesnt need any GUI input. I am having a problem using SOAP implementation for this.

Can any one guide me how can i call this script in InDesign Server. I've tried sample client given in InDesign Products SDK and it is giving me error executing this javascript.

Any help in this issue will be highly appreciated.

Hi all,

I am trying to use sample client for java given with indesign server SDK.

I am trying to compile it using indesign however I imported all the libraries it is still not importing the following libraries.

import localhost.Service_wsdl.Service;

import localhost.Service_wsdl.ServiceLocator;

import localhost.Service_wsdl.ServicePortType;

import com.adobe.ns.InDesign.soap.IDSPScriptArg;

import com.adobe.ns.InDesign.soap.RunScriptParameters;

import com.adobe.ns.InDesign.soap.holders.DataHolder;

These libraries are not getting imported. Can any body help me where can I find out these libraries or else if anyone of u used sample-java-soap client please help me.

Hi,

I'm currently facing a problem with a localized version of InDesign Server (v5.5). Unluckily the pre-defined joboptions

seem to include german umlaut such as "[Kleinste Dateigröße]" or "[Druckausgabequalität]", which renders them

unreachable from my java application. Other presets without umlauts are reachable (e.g. [Qualitativ hochwertiger Druck])

without problems.

Anyone knows how to solve this issue?

Regs,

There are a couple of changes that were introduced specific to InDesign Server in CS6.

1) Java APIs are no longer supported. All scripting must be done using the same scripting languages as InDesign Desktop (i.e. Javascript, VB, or Applescript). It seems that the development costs for the Java APIs were too high for continued support. If you are starting development on new projects that might be migrated to CS6 or later, you probably do not want to use Java.

This does not mean to say you cannot develop your apps in Java. You can still connect from a Java app via SOAP, but no Java API calls can be made. The documentation that will be shipped with ID Server CS6 has some guidlines for porting code to Javascript, and if you need any help, just pop on over to the Scripting forum...

2) CS6 introduces "Session Support". Calls made via SOAP can be executed in separate threads grreatly increasing performance for SOAP calls. This is different than separate instances in that all the sessions are run within the same instance of InDesign, but scripts can be executed in concurrent threads. So ID Server now has both multi-threaded and multi-instance support.

Hi everyone,

Having issues with trying to run a Debug server for development testing. The server is not on the same dev box as Visual Studio, etc. It's a standalone W2008R2 box. I have the Debug version installed for testing but when trying to run it I get the 'side-by-side configuration error'.

Did a quick search and just installed the 2005 C++ redistributables but still no go.

So how can I get this Debug server up and running so we can develop against it without using our Production license?

There is zero Adobe documentation on this that I have found and quite frustrating for sure.

Edit:

I did a sxstrace and here are the results:

On the same server I have the Release version of 5.5 and it starts up with no issue. What's the point of the Debug/Developer version if it doesn't start? Do I need to reach out to my Adobe rep for answers on this?

Thanks for any help/tips/pointers.

I am looking into purchasing a 3rd party product for doing dynamic date publishing using Indesign. The vendor is telling me in order to be complaint with Adobe I need to purchase an Indesign Server license even though the 3rd party application doesnt need it. It will basically sit on the shelf and collect dust. The vendor isnt even looking for us to purchase Indesign Server through, so its not like they are making any money.

Just doesnt make sense on why I would need to purchase it. I have tried calling Adobe sales reps numerous times and either no one knows the answer or I never get called back from the people who are supposed to know the answer.

I figured this was the best board to post this on, not sure if it would be better somewhere else.

Does anyone have any insight into this? Any response is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am facing the following error while trying to spray the indesign pdf.Actually we need to generate 100's of pdf but after 12 to 15 jobs indesign refuses the connection with JVM.So that is why JVM is not giving the response to indesign and the indesign stucks waitnig for java side's data.

(1) I have tried to increase the jvm memory using the  -Xms512M -Xmx1024M)

Hello All,

I'm a newbie to write JS for InDesign Server and I'm getting the error like 'Cannot launch target Adobe InDesign CS6 Server!' while connecting the InDesign Server using ESTK (as shown below), could anyone help me to resolve this feedback?

Hi

We are currently using Adobe CS5 Server - and connecting to it VIA COM.

We are looking to upgrade to Indesign CC Server - but we want to know if we can still connect to it via COM ?

Hi,

I'm using an InDesign Server CC in Version 9.0 with Windows Server

When i will update to 9.2 or 9.2.2 i got error message:

This patch is not suitable for you. Looking over the menu "Help" of the product to check for updates to get a list of available current updates.

But the InDesign Server is an command-line program without the Help-Menu.

anyone knows the problem?

How does one configure Indesign server (CS6) WS to run in SSL mode?  If not in CS6, how about CC 2014?

thanks

I'm an independent developer working on a data management platform (which I would like to commercialise at some stage but certainly not right now). The primary reason for developing this is to form the base for another system I'm developing with a small independent school to help them manage all of their administrative tasks more effectively. This means that more or less every need, in terms of document production, management and publication must be supported by a system that they use.

Below is what I need from the system where document production is required. I'm just wondering if someone can help me get some perspective on whether or not InDesign server is my only option. The core of the systems are web based, hosted with MS (Azure) and built using C# on an SQL background. I'm not even sure about how I would run an InDesign server instance to link with this setup but that is a separate challenge (suggestions welcome).

Document features already managed.

• Document storage, version control and management (multiple formats etc) - already handled very simply in code with the file storage and the SQL DB.
• Production of Invoices (and other billing documents), reports, newsletters, company documents, letters, contracts, surveys, posters, adverts... (etc. etc. - you see where this is going)
  • Generating documents from templates (preferably InDesign produced and uploaded to the server) - content can be presented as XML (or whatever is needed as it will be translated when pulled from the database) as PDFs. Ability to export in other formats would be preferable but PDF is the most generally useful.
  • Simple modification of templates. This bit is less important as the system will contain most of the templates that will be required but being able to make some layout changes within the system would be really useful to give some flexibility to the user without having to leave the system.

Essentially, I need to be able to do everything in code so that the system can spit out documents as required without them having to think about layout or design. From everything I've heard about the costs of InDesign server and having looked at the subscription costs for printui - it is far too expensive for a business that operates on a very small budget. At present, this system will just be used by them - and that may well only ever be the case so I'm starting worry about what I can do. I am aware of the PDF creation libraries available to simplify document production and am also considering that route. This whole project is largely about labour saving to reduce costs on the business, so being able to just create InDesign templates and upload them would be the ideal solution for us.

I hope that someone is able to offer some help or just talk through ideas with me as this whole area of the system is slowing progress quite significantly.

Hi,

We have a customer who bought InDesign server at a company that has gone out of business...

We now need to know our customers' serial number, but I cannot find a way to get the serial number of the InDesign Server installation through the command line?

Anyone knows how I can find out the serial number of an existing installation?

Kind Regards,

I have programmed Applescript and Indesign for desktop for years.

I have a solution that should work well with Indesign server and applescript.

Downloaded the Trial for Indesign Server CC.

Then you have to figure out how to activate the product, which i think i have done via this command :

adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS7-Mac-GM

Now that its not compaining about being activated i can see that the sample applescripts provided in the install can compile.

If i run them however i get a failiure thats odd.

tell application "Finder"

          get startup disk

                    --> "CWFM1:"

          exists "CWFM1:ServerTestFiles"

                    --> true

          exists "CWFM1:ServerTestFiles:bob.indd"

                    --> false

end tell

tell application "InDesignServer"

          close every document saving no

          make new document

                    --> document "Untitled 3"

          save document "Untitled 3" to "CWFM1:ServerTestFiles:bob.indd"

                    --> error number -1728

Result:

error "InDesignServer got an error: Can’t get document \"Untitled 3\"." number -1728 from document "Untitled 3"

The folder is chmod'd to 777 so its not a read write issue.

if i just use the normal open command in applescript i get this error :

The document “bob.indd” could not be opened. InDesignServer cannot open files of this type.

which is just odd. its a normal empty indesign document with nothing in it!

has anyone got ideas?

Server is MacMini i7 with 16gb ram, OS X 10.8.5 server.

Hi All,

I have a java application program running on a remote machine say M1.

I have InDesign Server CS6 installed on another machine say M2.

Now my question is as follows.

Is it possible to start InDesign Server which will serve SOAP request from a java application program(running on M1).

Regards,

Alam
