We have two offices that use Adobe InDesign. The central server is located in location A. Location B uses the mapped drives from location A in order to do there work inside of InDesign. The connection between the two offices are VPN tunnels over the WAN. The users in location B are constantly complaining about speeds inside of Abode InDesign and what we are needing to find is if Adobe InDesign Server is like Revit server in the way that it will act as an accelerator/host relationship between the two locations or if we are barking up the wrong tree. And if I am correct in my assumption that InDesign does act in a manor of Host/Accelerator then what your that infrastructure look like?

Hide cmd windows after running LBS bat file
Hi,
Now I am working on a solution of converting indd file to pdf on server side in our product.
Since this process may cost time I choose LBS with job queue, but after running "startup-indesign-server-CORBA-4instances.bat" there four cmd windows will popup to listen to request.
What I want is that can I hide these window after they started? I don't want customers to close this windows for their careless.
I have tried to write a .vbs script to hide the cmd window but failed.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks

Font name mapping: Eg. Mac to Windows
Hello-
There are fonts -generic and font-families, that don't have the same name under MacOs and Windows. Our issue is that we might be creating InDesign documents in MacOs, but processing them on InDesign Server -Windows, and we might be getting missing font warnings and errors. Is there a way to generically apply a font mapping to InDesign Server? We are also QuarkXPress Server users and it does include this feature.
Regards,
GO.

ExtendScript Toolkit cannot launch InDesign CS6 Server
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?

InDesign Server doesn't recognize network paths
I have successfully installed and tested the InDesign Server. It is up and listening on port 800. Now I'm trying to run sampleclient commands into it with some javascripts.
Here is the line I'm passing to it via command line:
sampleclient -host 10.10.1.1:800 "C:\TEMP\script.jsx" arg0="C:\TEMP\file.indd" arg1="C:\TEMP\file.pdf"
This works.
Now I'm passing this:
sampleclient -host 10.10.1.1:800 "C:\temp\script.jsx" arg0="\\server\TEMP\file.indd" arg1="\\server\TEMP\file.pdf"
And it gives an error 48 - Cannot find a folder.
The server is visible from both machines and the path is the same.
I tried double slashes but that didn’t help either.
It just says: Cannot find the folder “\\server\folder\file.pdf”
What is odd is that file.pdf is not a folder so I’m not sure why it refers to is as “folder”.
Any ideas?

InDesign server using VB Dot Net
Hi,
I need help regarding using InDesign server using Visual Basic .Net.
I tried to generate a new document in the following ways:
Dim IdApp As InDesign.Application
Dim Doc As InDesign.Document
Dim DocP As InDesign.DocumentPreset
IdApp = CreateObject("InDesignServer.Application.CS3")
' This is the command that appears in the documentation:
' Adobe Indesign CS Scripting guide, page 11
'Doc = IdApp.Documents.Add
' The Result:
' Compiles but generates the following run time error:
'An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
'Additional information: Invalid value for parameter 'DocumentPreset' of event 'Add'. Expected DocumentPreset, but received TRUE.
' In the following command I pass the parameters
' from the correct type in the correct order.
' The runtime result is as if the DocumentPreset
' parameter is the first and not the second
Doc = IdApp.Documents.Add(False, DocP)
' The Result:
'An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
'Additional information: Invalid value for parameter 'DocumentPreset' of event 'Add'. Expected DocumentPreset, but received FALSE.
' I tried passing the parameters in reverse order
Doc = IdApp.Documents.Add(DocP, False)
' Result
' Compile error:
' error BC30311: Value of type 'InDesign.DocumentPreset' cannot be converted to 'Boolean'.
Besides these methods, I saw at the InDesign Java documentation that in non-scripting languages, as Visual Basic
parameters cannot be omitted.
At Java, the class OptArg is provided in order to supply such parameters.
I couldn't find the corresponding class for Visual Basic.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Problems with installation Fonts into Adobe InDesign Server
Hi,
I have a problem to install the fonts into Adobe InDesign Server.
I'm developing an application that manage the fonts, principally It's move font file to directory Fonts of Indesign Server. That works.
The problem is that InDesing spends more than 10 seconds to detect it. I need that it works inmediately.
How can I do it? Can I load the font with SDK?

[CS5 Windows] LBQ crashes Java
Hi all,
I'm trying to follow the instructions in the "Working With Load Balancing and Queueing" document for CS5 server. I've run four instances of ID Server using the recommended CORBA parameters in that document. Then I started LBQ by running the "clover.cmd" batch file (after tweaking it a bit, because they forgot to set the JAVA_HOME path). All seems well.
However, when I ping the LBQ as recommended, by opening this URL:
http://localhost:8080/com.adobe.clover.application/api/GetVersion
I get a message that Java has crashed. Specifically, it says "Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working." Then Windows helpfully offers to find a solution (I've never actually experienced Windows finding a solution, ever). Of course then the browser request times out, and we're back to using QuarkXPress.
This is using Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1 (say that fast, 3 times), and InDesign CS5 Server 7.0.0.355.
I thought perhaps the Java version was suspect, so I uninstalled it (both 32- and 64-bit versions) and installed fresh versions from www.java.com. Still the same problem. Then I thought, maybe it needs more memory, so I changed the command line -Xmx parameter from 512M to 1024M. Still the same problem.
The problem isn't InDesign Server, because it never actually gets to that point; it's in the LBQ Java code (I think) and/or some mystical Java configuration.
So I'm stumped. Has anyone successfully used Adobe's load balancing solution as documented?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Simply open a file
Hi,
This is my first attempts to script IDS. I am stuck with the simpliest command: open a file.
app.open(File(myFilePath));
It returns an error.
<IDSP:RunScriptResponse><errorNumber>1</errorNumber><errorString>open</errorString><scriptResult></scriptResult></IDSP:RunScriptResponse>
I first developed on Indesign desktop and the script just works fine. I read the IDS scripting guide so I am aware of restrictions and I think I avoided them.
Is there anything to be aware of for opening files ?

Stuck parsing an InDesign document, extracting data to an XML file
Hi,
I have an indesign document of a newspaper page (1 spread + 1 page) with some articles (title, body, img, img caption) and ads (img). I need to parse this and create an XML file from which data can be stored into a mysql db. The db handling is already programmed.
The xml file will have this structure (page = root):
<page>
<article>
<title>Title</title>
<content>Lorem ipsum</content>
<img title=""></img>
</article>
<ad>
<img title=""></img>
</ad>
</page>
The .indd file is created using the Smart Layout plugin from WoodWing software. When trying to print the "TextFrames>Texts>contents" the textframes that use the smart layout plugin do not show, they seem to be not included in the data model of the app. That's why I went another route, and parsed "Stories>Texts>contents". I can get all the text objects of the page, including the articles that are created using the smart layout plugin. Among these objects are article title's and article bodies. The problem is I don't know which title belongs to which body, so I can't create a new article node in the XML. I have exported the orignal file as IDML and browsed the spread and the stories, but I see no way to link article titles (textframe), article bodies (textframe) and images (contained by rectangles) together.
Is there a way to solve this?
Setup:
InDesign CS4 .indd documents
Win2k8 server
JavaScript (via ExtendScript toolkit)
InDesignServer CS5.5 (64bit) (want to use this)
SmartLayout plugin (installs @ InDesignServer CS5.5 32bit. This 32bit InDServer does not start, it has missing dll's).

InDesign Server CS6 (MacOS) - JavaScripting & Troubleshooting "Bus error" or "Segmentation fault"
I'm attempting to convert a workflow from InDesign CS5.5 Desktop with AppleScript to InDesign Server CS6 with JavaScript. It seems most of our templates work fine but every now and then I run into one that seems to work properly but right after we export to PDF and JPG which is the final step in the script I get either a Bus error or a Segmentation fault error. The files do export and the console sits idle for a few seconds then I get the crash. It doesn't seem to give me anything else and I can't find a crash dump or core file anywhere on disk to examine.
The exact same input files on InDesign CS5.5 Desktop completing a very similar automation task via AppleScript work without an issue or error. I'm not certain if it's a problem with the way the InDesign files were put together, a version problem between a CS5.5 file and CS6, or something that I'm doing wrong in the script.
Is there a way to get InDesign Server to go into debug or verbose mode so that it will show more than just two word errors on crash? I've read a few people talking here about the debug version but every path I've found to get access to the debug version runs into a roadblock with a bad link.
I would appreciate a point in the current right direction for how to debug these templates this script.
