Hi,
I have an InDesign Server with 8 ports running in one Windows Server. Currently, I have assigned 4 InDesign ports for UK client, and 4 InDesign ports for US client.
How can I configure the ports in such way 4 ports to use UK Dictionary always, and US Dictionary for the rest of ports. Especially, I have customer defined dictionaries to use.
Please advise how to achieve this.
Hi,
Is InDesign CC 2014 Sever compatible with "Windows 2008 Server R2" ?
I am executing following script for data merge operation. Not generating any error, But neither it merge data from csv data source into new indd file.
var myFile = new File("E:/*.indd");
var myDocument = app.open(myFile);
Script for Data merge InDesign CC server 2014
with (myDocument.dataMergeOptions) {
linkImages = true;
removeBlankLines = false;
createNewDocument = true;
documentSize = 100;
} // (end of dataMergeOptions)
myDocument.dataMergeProperties.selectDataSource(new File ('E:\Employees.csv'));
myDocument.dataMergeProperties.mergeRecords();
myDocument.save(new File("E:/*indd"));
myDocument.close ();
I am working on InDesign CC Server 2014 with ExtendScript toolkit.
Hi all,
I am having troubles to run the sdk samples properly. I downloaded the trial version and "licenced" with a prerelase serial that I have been given as a member of the prerelase program. My intention is not to build any commercial system, I just wish I can have InDesign Server at hand so I can master my skills onto it.
So now I am trying to run the sample code as indicated in the sdk :
//Running the server with terminal
InDesignServer -port 12345
//Exceuting sampleclient
/Applications/Adobe\ InDesign\ CS6\ Server/InDesignServer.command sampleclient -host localhost:12345 /Applications/Adobe\ InDesign\ CS6\ Server/myScript.jsx
I am getting an licence error message (rawly translated from French to English): "Your version only allows one single use. Please contact your reseller for an update"
I am guessing the prerelease licence has limited the use of the server.
So my question is : how could one get his hands on a unlocked NFR licence for testing purposes ? I mean it could stamp a big red mark, only output jpgs, I really don't care. What I care is getting the idea and mechanisms of driving IDS with PHP/SOAP. As a consultant, I may have to promote and sell InDesign Server to my clients but it would help if could set demos and have a whole understanding of technologies and costs implied. Is that somehow possible ? I hope so because I work with Enfocus and Callas and they all provide NFR keys to resellers and promoters. It's just making sense to me.
Hope I am not misunderstood in my intentions,
TIA for your inputs,
Loïc
Hello guys am new to adobe forum. please help me. am in trouble!!!
i have got one project regarding IN DESIGN. am .net developer, i have downloaded CS4 server free trail.
can any one please tell me how to use CS4 using c# ? urgent please.
I have installed the trial version of InDesign Server CS6 on Windows 2008 and am trying to run scripts against it using the ExtendScript Toolkit, but it is not working. When I select "Adobe InDesign CS6 Server" from the drop-down list in the upper left, I get an alert box that says "Cannot launch target Adobe InDesign CS6 Server!". When expanding the details box it just repeats that same message.
I can start InDesign fine using either the command line or the windows service and it responds to requests. As far as I can see, it is just ExtendScript that is having problems with it.
I have combed through the event logs and can't find anything there indicating what the problem might be. I have also googled everything I can think of looking for a solution with no luck.
Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions on a solution or at least where I might be able to track down a useful error message that says why it can't launch InDesign?
hi all,
I'm new developer in InDesign Server.
I'm having a look at the SnipRunner & BasicPersistInterface.
In the file SnippetRunner.jsx:
// get the SDKCodeSnippetRunner object
var snippetRunner = app.sdkCodeSnippetRunnerObject;
In the file BasisPersitInterface.jsx:
app.basicpersistinterfacePreferences.bpiData = "default";
if (app.basicpersistinterfacePreferences.bpiData != "default") {}
really, I dont understand where & how to define the "sdkCodeSnippetRunnerObject" & "basicpersistinterfacePreferences" in the source code of plug-ins written in C/C++
so anyone can help me on this?
thanks

I just purchased the cloud...I have been trying to download Indesign CC and everytime it asks me to login, I do as such, and then it tells me that an Unknown Server has occured. This has been going on for quite some time...is there something wrong with my compatibility? Is there a direct link that can be provided to download Indesign? And I am not talking about the trial. Is my fire wall blocking it or what? Because I have purchased the cloud and I feel like I'll be wasting my money if I can't even download anything. If there is another way to download the programs, can I do that without accessing the website?
Hi
We use indesign server cs6 highly for background processing, but we got often too much problems (bugs) and did not know where to find support, we are going crazy.
Problems:
1) We get this error when opening and exporting to jpg and xml some indesign files. THIS HAPPENS on EXPORT JPG of indesign. Code:
app.consoleout("INIT JPG");
theDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, new File(jpg_out) );
app.consoleout("FINISH JPG");:
unknown encoding ##UTF-8: using iso88591 as fallback
2) When inserting text into some stylerange that contains newlines , randomly, not always, the style of the style range is loosed and do not know why. example of code:
text = text.replace(/{br}/g, "\r");
text = text.replace(/{br_special}/g, "\n");
style_range.contents = text;//LOOSE styleeess??!
Please can anyone help or give any suggestions?
Hi,
I was trying to execute the following code simultaneously using two threads. But it executed only the first thread and it got stuck with the second thread while it was exceuting the line stub.beginSession(). Please comment on this.

Is it possible to upgrade from single instance license to multi instance license? If yes, what is the cost involved?

What are the differences between the Limited Single Instance and the Limited Single Instance Development?
I can see the following link however would like to know the following questions as well.

What are the restrictions for the Limited Single Instance Development edition that would impact the development and testing activity?
Thanks.
Hi, everyone!
Having troubles importing xlsx with formatting in InDesign Server. Whole file imported as unformatted table.
Sample code using for setting preferences:
var excelPref = application.ExcelImportPreferences;
excelPref.PreserveGraphics = true;
excelPref.TableFormatting = idTableFormattingOptions.idExcelFormattedTable;
excelPref.UseTypographersQuotes = true;
Then I just use frame.Place() for importing file.
Saving file as xls resolves the issue, but it's not an option for my project.
Another thing is that desktop InDesign imports formatting just fine.
I've looked through documentation and haven't found anything except ExcelImportPreferences. Maybe there's some poperty that I missed or there's another way for importing files?
Appriciate any help!
Hi,
I cannot start our InDesign Server CC 2014 (Windows Server 2008). I have installed the software and was logged with our Adobe ID and installation was successful without any error message. The installation manual states that “InDesign CC Server needs to be activated before it can be used. If the computer is online, activation is done automatically when you install.” However, I got an error message when I tried to launch InDesign Server: “Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit”.
Since I had previously installed InDesign Server CS6 on another machine, I tried to use the APTEE to start the trial. I used the CS6 one because I did not find any version for CC 2014, I finally got the message:
StartTrial Successful
Return Code = 0
but when I tried to launch again InDesign Server, I always get the Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit message.
I also read this thread but did not find the solution Indesign Server CC Trial issues
Thanks for help!
I have an indesign file. I can open the indesign file in adobe in design. This can export the full xml for the created indesign.
Now what i need is from Indesign i need to export contents directly to my sql database by giving field mapping for title description.
Do we have any plugin in indesign to map the tables and insert it directly from indesign.
Can we insert images in this format from the indesign file. Which format will the image be sorted image.
Physical image file will be copied and path can be modified or these images are copied as bits in database.
Do we have to have the same image location shared as indesign files and images will be on a different server and the website which is working on database will be on a different server.
Hello,
Since Illustrator Server is, sadly, not available from Adobe, I wonder how far can InDesign Server be pushed in terms of vector art and typography? Specifically, I'd like to know if it's possible to programmatically create, say:
Are there any examples of graphically rich artwork created with ID Server?
Also, is it possible to test scripts aimed at InDesign Server with regular version of InDesign CC 2014?
Thank you!
does adobe charge maintenance on adobe indesign server's subscription model?
Hi,
I am trying to get the indesign server cs5 as a service to run at a particular port on 64bit windows vm platform. The documentation pointed towards trying to operate the .msc file in <installation_folder>/adobe/indesign x64/ folder. However I am getting a snap-in error. I have tried installing it through mmc.exe, but fails with the same error. It is a trial version right now.
The error reads
"MMC could not create a snap in. The snap-in might not have been installed correctly.
Name: IndesignServerService
CLSI ID:{xxxxxxxxxxxxx}
"
I have uninstalled, reinstalled and restarted many times.
Any info will be helpful. I am wondering if all the dlls have been registered correctly.
Thanks

I am developing solution using InDesign Servers via COM which is hosted on Windows Server 2008 R2. And I am experiencing problem utilizing CS 5.5 server:
When InDesign Server CS5.5 is installed on Windows Server 2008 (64bit) its COM component is registered with following parameters: CLSID = {96D10A00-63E3-423e-A223-DFC4BEA21206}, ProgId = InDesignServer.Application.CS5.
The problem is that those are the same parameters that are used for InDesign Server CS5 COM component. And therefore I can't have CS5 and CS5.5 installed on the same server, which is required for solution I am deleloping.
Has anyone experienced that problem or maybe know some workaround for it?
Meanwhile, When InDesign Server CS5.5 is installed on Windows 7 (32bit) its COM component is registered with unique parameters: CLSID ={34701EBC-5975-411C-8A45-E78E0934AADD} and ProgId = InDesignServer.Application.CS5.5
