Is creation of complex vector art possible with InDesign Server?

January 22, 2015, 9:36 am

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!

Stop SOAP initiated running task

March 15, 2015, 9:20 am

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)

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

I am trying to get InDesign CC Server 2014 trial activated and here is what I have done so far

So I got the error that it is not properly licensed so next I ran the command from the Adobe Manager Directory : adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=V7{}InDesignServer-10-Win-GM

Now I got a successful StartTrial indicator, so I will go back and try again

I am confused at this point? I got the right return code for successful, but yet its not licensed properly?

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding this? or maybe I am missing something and doing something incorrectly somewhere?

LBQ returns blank page (and HTTP Error 400).

May 11, 2015, 12:28 pm

So a little background -

 

We run InDesign CS6 on 2 different servers. Both servers are Windows 2008 R2. CS6 server has been running smoothly for a few years now. We're running both in a multi-instance environment and using the Adobe LBQ client to manage the queue and jobs.

 

Recently I built a new machine to test CC14 server. I noticed that the basic informationg regarding the LBQ was the same so I built out a couple of instances like before and tried to run the LBQ client (clover.cmd).

 

It starts to load and seems to load completely but when you try to go to the queue site (localhost:8080) it returns a blank page and an HTTP 400 error. Nothing else happens. The instances of Indesign are running fine but the LBQ is not.

 

My servers I've tried this on are the following:

 

Windows 2012 R2

Windows 2008 R2

 

I have even gone back to a clean VM of Windows 2008 R2 and even migrated back to InDesign CS6 and still the same issue!

 

The only thing I can think of is that the JRE is different. Originally our servers were setup with JRE 1.7 but they've auto-upgraded and are running 1.8. My new servers have 1.8 from the beginning.

 

I'm really at a loss here as to what might be happening. Spent last 3 days trying to puzzle things through to isolate any differences in configs, settings, versions, etc.

 

Any thoughts?in

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");

Custom LBQ?

Has anyone here built a custom LBQ vs the one that's included with InDesign Server? I'm installing CS9 on some new servers and LBQ is being quite difficult in running properly. I have no issues with the default LBQ running on CS6 but with CS9? hmm, not so good. So anyways, didn't know if anyone has written a custom LBQ or is everyone using the default one supplied by Adobe?

How to run Indesign CS3 as a Service with Port number

Hello all,

I would like to run the InDesign CS3 Server as a service on Windows. It seems that after installing the Server it automatically installs as a service. But where can I assign the port number. If under Services properties of InDesign Server under Parameters I mention -port 1050 on Ok button it removes the parameter information.

I am doing right or is there some other way to start the Server as Service with Port number.

Thank you all in advance.

CS2 ExportFile from selected XMLElement

Hello all.
I have a xml tree inside indd document and i need to export each XMLElement into different xml files from javascript.
In plain InDesign i can do this with script:

//getting each XMLElement as myXMLElement
....
app.xmlExportPreferences.exportFromSelected = true;
myXMLElement.select();
myXMLElement.exportfile("XML",new File("/c/foo.xml"))

(Like in this guide http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/pdfs/realworld_XML.pdf)

But! InDesign Server does not have function XMLElement.select() so i can't export each XMLElement in different file.

Any ideas?

InDesign Server CORBA plug-in issues

July 29, 2010, 4:11 am
$

Hello everybody,

 

i need some help in here...

 

 

Problem nr. 1: cannot define the port

 

Is there a way to set the port CORBA should use? I know there is no 'standard' way to do that now with the plug-in, but is it possible at all? Maybe changing something and rebuilding from (C++)SDK source? Can I make it configurable? Has anyone a good idea to start with. (It's a pity that you can set the SOAP port and not the CORBA port). It just isn't nice to have to open a very big range of ports in a production system's firewall, only because we cannot tell InDesign which to use!

 


Problem nr. 2: wrong IP address in the application IOR

 

We are running a IDS on a Widows server machine with two network devices (one for backups, and one connected to the client's network). When the IDS is started, the CORBA plug-in writes the IOR file fetching the IP address from the wrong device, so the client cannot use the IOR to connect to the app. Can someone tell me (some developer there?) how the ip address is fetched? Would it be a solution to just switch the devices? Which logic is deciding wich one to take? The service is listening on both networks.

 


I've been working with the InDesign Server CS3 and CS4 and it's CORBA interface for a couple of years now, so it's pretty annoying to have such troubles now. I'll appreciate any hints.

 

With regards

Font Not Found.

Hi there,

 

Running InDesign Server with a front-end that takes imported IDML files and creates a print ready .pdf. Something I noticed is that sometimes a font is missing and I get the error message from InDesign server about this. It doesn't affect the .pdf output (except for the missing font but it substitutes it). Is there a way that when an IDML file is imported that the fonts are passed to the InDesign server to process? Or do I have to install all the fonts on the server instead?

 

Just trying to figure out what's the best way to do this.

 

Thanks.

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 ?

Best,

Loic

How to start Debug server? No Redistributables?

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.

How to get CORBA LBQ started as a Windows service for InDesign Server CS6?

June 6, 2014, 9:14 am

So we have a production InDesign Server (CS6) running 4 instances. The instances are set to start as Windows services and no issues there at all. The problem is my Clover commands that handles the LBQ to manage those instances. Right now I have a .bat file that I run manually and it opens a command prompt and runs it there.

 

The problem is that if the server gets logged off or reboots then that Clover part dies and my LBQ dies with it.

 

How can I go about setting this up as a Windows service so that it runs automatically?

I'm currently working on automating document generation using InDesign Server.  We've set some preferences in the regular InDeisgn while creating the template regarding how pages are inserted when text overflows the current page.  How can I carry over this preference setting from the client version of InDesign to the InDesign Server settings?   As it stands now, the document looks correct when viewed on the client with the preferences set, but incorrect when the document is generated on the Server itself.
