InDesign Server - Specific Dictionary to Port

$

0

Hi,

 

I have an InDesign Server with 8 ports running in one Windows Server. Currently, I have assigned 4 ports for UK client, and 4 ports for US client. Now, I need to configure both UK and US dictionaries in the same InDesign Server however 4 UK ports needs to use UK Dictionary, and 4 US ports needs to use US Dictionary.

 

Please advise how to achieve this.

Is creation of complex vector art possible with InDesign Server?

$
0
0

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:

  • an arc or any other math based shape,
  • a repeatable pattern fill from a .ai file,
  • a custom/imported brush stroke applied to a path,
  • a clipping mask shape retrieved from dynamically created text,
  • any vector based effects, e.g. halftoning an image.

 

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!

Installing Indesign CC Server on Mac fails

$

Hi,

 

I've multiple Adobe IDs:

Adobe-ID1 for Company 1/AEDP

Adobe-ID2 for Company 2/CC Membership

 

I've downloaded Indesign CC Server from AEDP (Adobe-ID1) and tried to install using the Serial number from AEDP and the Adobe-ID1.

 

In the options dialog of the install, I can't select the ID Server components and it has a warning icon with the title "Required components are disabled".

 

I tried to use the second login (Adobe-ID2) or install it as a trial version, but I get the same behaviour.

 

The installation failed on two Macs (10.9.5 and 10.10.2) with CC and the name of the installer file is: InDesignServer_9_LS18.dmg. Is anything missing and has to be installed upfront?

 

Any recommendations or tips to solve the issue?

Stop SOAP initiated running task

$
0

Hello,

 

Is there a way to stop a task initiated via SOAP (using java for the SOAP client and javascript for the Indesign server scripting) from running?

One of the scenarios is when the calling program is terminated (either manually or unexpectedly) or when the network experiences some problems and the connection is disconnected, I would like to stop the task from continuing.

 

We are generating intensive processing (e.g generating documents and merging multiple documents) and generation may take some time especially when dealing with large tables( tables with 1000 rows) with is using a bit of the processing and memory. I would like a way to stop/terminate the task itself (and not  need to restart/stop indesign server to avoid quitting other tasks)

 

I have tried to establish a same session using the same session id so I can somehow mark a variable that will stop execution at certain points but indesign server throws an error back to the soap client that the session has already been established.

 

Please advise if there is a way for stopping a task in indesign server or a way to make 2 different SOAP calls have the same session? (do I need to use the same service object / stub object?) Tried both but it seems I may be missing some step.

 

Btw, using Windows Server 2012 and Indesign Server cs6

 

Thanks


PDF intermittent export problems (e.g Font embedding sometimes fails)

$
0
0

Hello,

 

Currently we're experiencing some weird issue with our Indesign Server in one of our environments ( we do not experience the same problem in our other env which has the same configuration)

It is often exporting some PDFs with problems in its font information (when opening the PDF in the viewer, some of the text is missing and the reader shows a prompt "Cannot extract the embedded font '<some alphanumeric prefix>' + <font_name>'. Some characters may not display or print correctly")


We are not using any font manager/3rd party plugins and have also tried to clear/refresh the font cache / list (*.lst) files and reset Indesign Server preferences (by deleting specific the pref folders as advise in one of the forum posts)

The problem is intermittent as exporting the PDF from the IDML again doesn't cause the error so not sure why this is happening.

 

Note that we are exporting the PDF to a shared folder (but mapped to a local folder where indesign server is located, the folder is referenced in indesign with the remote path e.g \\192.168..x.x\Shared\<output_file>.pdf). There is no antivirus installed on the computer.

 

Does anyone have any similar problem or any advise on what else I can investigate?

 

Thanks

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

BridgeTalk in indesign Server

I'm using InDesign Server for CS6 (x64). I'm using bridgetalk for the first time on my local machine. I am trying to understand why I'm getting the error "ERROR: Target Could Not Be Launched". Does this mean my bridge isn't working? Or does the syntax appear wrong for the following example code:

 

function infoFrombr() {

   var bt = new BridgeTalk;

   bt.target = "bridge";

   bt.body = "app.document.presentationPath;"

   bt.onResult = function(resObj) {

      var myResult = resObj.body;

      $.writeln( "BridgeTalk result = " + myResult );

      doSomethingNow( myResult );

   }

  

   bt.onError = function( inBT ) { doSomethingNow( inBT.body, null ); };

   $.writeln("doing it");

   bt.send( 50 );

}

 

 

function doSomethingNow( result ) {

      $.writeln("doing it");

      $.writeln(result);

}

 

$.writeln("test");

infoFrombr();

$.writeln("test_end");

IDS on WinServer 2008 Location of joboptions files

$

I am attempting to find where to put my joboption file on Windows Server 2008. Indesign Desktop is not installed on this server, nor can it be. I tried

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings

 

The job option file I am attempting to use is: PDFX1a 2001.joboptions

 

but my javascript that works locally does not on the server. My function call is:

 

mydoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File(file), app.pdfExportPresets.item("[PDF/X-1a:2001]"));

 

but that results in an error as the item is not found.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

I am setting up my indesign servers and as of to date I only can support the Indesign CC version of the application because that is all my server will support. I did hear however that Adobe Indesign CC Server 2014 has been released, and if this is true where is this available at? I would like to update my servers to CC Server 2014 so my users can use the latest version of Adobe Indesign CC 2014. Thank you for your time.

Fonts not being recognized by ID server

Hi Experts,

 

We are having terrific inconsistent behaviour with Indesign server.

 

Currently we have an set of Indesign servers instances(k1-k13) running on one windows server machine managed by one LBQ.All of them

share the same set of plugins and same environment including the Fonts folder and the Fonts link present in it

 

we find that inconsistent results are coming up for fonts in the same Indesign File on the same machine but with different instances

of Indesign server.

 

On furthur investigation we found that this is something specific to one instance K8 running. It doesn't recognize the font Aria

lMTBoldLE but say for another instance on the same machine like K6 the same font is being recognized. The same instance K8 seems to not recognize the other f

onts also.

 

We are unable to find out inspite lots of googling also. Any advise on this will be welcomed.

 

Thanks,

InDesign server crashes every time when calling deleteEmptyPages in script

$
0
0

We are evaluting InDesign Server CS6 on a Windows server environment. We have an idml file, sample xml file that is tagged to specific frames inside the idml file and a script file for execution on the server. This script opens the idml file using the app.open api, imports the xml file and export the ID file to a PDF. Because we have table content with variable row count, we are using the smart text reflow functionality. Setting the text preferences with smart text reflow appears to be working but we also want to delete the empty second page when the content is less than a page. So, we also tried using the deleteEmptyPages property document's textPreferences. When this is set to true and the script is executed on the ID server using the sampleclient, the server crashes with the following message. When I do the same thing in the InDesign UI using the preferences options, it works as expected.

id-1.JPG

id-2.JPG

The script looks like below - is this the right way to do it?

 

var myInddFile = app.scriptArgs.get("idfile"); //"X:/IDFiles/AutoFlow.indd";

var myXmlFile = app.scriptArgs.get("xmlfile"); //"X:/IDFiles/deleteme.xml";

var myOutputOptions = "[Smallest File Size]";

var myPDFPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName(myOutputOptions);

 

var myDoc = app.open (File(myInddFile), OpenOptions.OPEN_COPY);

myDoc.xmlImportPreferences.ignoreWhitespace = true;

myDoc.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;

//myDoc.textPreferences.addPages = AddPageOptions.END_OF_STORY;

//myDoc.textPreferences.limitToMasterTextFrames = true;

 

myDoc.importXML (File(myXmlFile));

 

//uncommenting this line causes the ID server to crash

//myDoc.textPreferences.deleteEmptyPages = true;

 

var myOutputFile = app.scriptArgs.get("outputfile");//File("X:/IDFiles/sampleX.pdf")

myDoc.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,myOutputFile, myPDFPreset)
