Why can't I download Indesign CC? It keeps saying I have a server error.

$
0
0

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?

Passing a param to a JavaScript in Java using myApp.doScript

$

Hi!

I'm trying to pass a very simple string parameter to a JavaScript within my Java code. I am using the example DoRunScript.java that was given in the CS3 SDK:

... (here's a snippet of the code)

//call the javascript, passing in the arguments
VariableType returnValue = myApp.doScript (
VariableTypeUtils.createFile (scriptFilePath),
OptArg.makeScriptLanguageEnum (kScriptLanguageJavascript.value), argSeq);

My question is how do I retrieve the value of the parameter in my Javascript? I gather that I must use something like the following, but I'm not sure what to use as the name.

var myArg = app.scriptArgs.get ("name");

Am I going about this the wrong way? Eventually, I would like to pass an array or an ArrayList. Could I do this?

Thanks for your help!

PDF Preset (joboptions)

Hi,

 

Where do PDF Preset files or joboptions files need to be stored for InDesign CS3 Server to "see" them. Would InDesign Server need to be restarted to pick up changes to the Presets?

 

 

Thanks

Passing arguments to jsx file externally

$

Hi,

 

I have a script (javascript, jsx) that will parse content from InDesign (.indd) documents using InDesignServer. I want to be able to pass the filename, as well as the path of the indesign file as parameters to this script.

 

I have tried this vbs solution:

 

==========================

runjavascript.vbs

-------------

Option Explicit

On Error Resume Next


Dim appRef

Dim javaScriptFile


Set appRef = CreateObject( "Photoshop.Application" )


appRef.BringToFront


javaScriptFile = "C:\myscript\test.jsx"


call appRef.DoJavaScriptFile( javaScriptFile, Array(Array("one","two"), Array("three")), 1)


------

DoJavaScriptFile takes 3 params, the first being the script, the 2nd is an array of params. In my example, you can have an array of arrays of params. When you receive params from javascript side, it will see param 0 as (one, two), param 1 is (three). For most people, simple case is fine: eg:


call appRef.DoJavaScriptFile( javaScriptFile, Array("one","two", "three"), 1)


The javascript would look like this:


test.jsx

---------

#target photoshop


if (arguments.length > 0)

alert("ARGUMENT 0 = " + arguments[0]);


----

from the jsx side, there's a magical variable called "arguments" of array type. When you pass variables in, the 1st one will be arguments[0], the next one would be arguments[1], and so forth.


To execute this from command line, (assuming everything lives in c:\myscript):


cscript c:\myscript\runjavascript.vbs

 

 

==========================

 

This approach does not work, because I get an error from the CreateObject function, it cannot create an object for InDesignServer.Application.

 

Ideally, I want to be able to pass arguments from a python script to a jsx script.

 

Setup:

InDesign CS4 .indd documents

Win2k8 server

JavaScript (via ExtendScript toolkit)

InDesignServer CS5.5 (32bit)

SmartLayout plugin

How to use external DLLs in InDesign server plugin

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I am working on a project, which is having dependency on libxml2 library. I compiled the code on 64 bit Windows platform and using InDesign server 64 bit version. I put the required DLLs in Adobe InDesign CS6 Server x64 folder(with other DLLs). But now my plugin is not loading in server and also not throwing any error message on command prompt.

 

If I remove the libxml2's method call, then plugin is loading successfully.

Is there any other way to use external DLL or I am missing something?

 

Thanks & Regards,

How to flush Indesign server.

$
0
0

I am using Indesign server to create documents which contains text and images. My job is to create & export documents to pdf. Document are sometimes contains 100 plus pages. I'm closing the document each time.

This all works perfectly, but while it's running, I see the memory usage of InDesignServer.exe spike by several MB, and then it settles back down to a still-higher-than-initial value. Eventually, the InDesignServer.exe is taking up several hundred MB and my server starts giving out-of-memory errors.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Like the original poster asked, it appears as though I should be flushing something that I am not.

 

I can't find anything in the language reference on how to programmatically flush this after each document. I'm not even sure if this is the culprit.

Applescript server 10 2014

Hi There

 

 

Have anyone tried to use applescript with a CC 2014 (10) server  ???? almost nothing works for me...

 

I can create a document and save it, but can't open the same document....

 

Just a simple script...

tell application "InDesignserver"

set MyDok to make new document

save MyDok to "Mac HD:file.indd"

end tell

 

then...

tell application "InDesignserver"

Open "Mac Hd:file.indd"

end tell

 

i get : The document "file.indd" could not be opened. InDesignserver cannot open files of this type

 

very strange because the file was created by the same server ???

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 ?

Best,

Loic

InDesign Server command-line flags

How can I get command-line flags list of InDesign Server?

Actually the situation is testclient doesn't work.
I installed InDesign Server and SDK.
I run InDesignServer.com then I use something like this "testclient -server t.js".
Server and client runs on same comp.
As result I have this exception:
SOAP FAULT: SOAP-ENV:Client
"Unknown error"
Detail: TCP connect failed in tcp_connect()

in SDK indesign-server-test-client.pdf I found:
"Using InDesign Server
In order to use the test client, you must have a machine that has InDesign Server installed and
running properly, as the test client will communicate with the InDesign Server application.
For instructions on running and terminating InDesign Server, including command-line flags,
please refer to the InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide."

Any suggestion?

Is it possible to leverage InDesign Server templates in a custom web app?

$

Hi there,

 

I am building a custom web app and was hoping to leverage our existing InDesign Server templates within our web app. What I would like to do, is based on user input, show my template with the user's input in the browser. I have looked through the API guides for InDesign Server CS6, but I haven't been able to conclusively find anything that will allow me to use the APIs to call the server, send the data points the template requires, and then get an image back from the server.

 

I believe this is possible, I am just not sure how to achieve it! Any ideas or articles that help push me in the right direction would be extremely helpful!

 

Thank you!

Hi everybody,

 

For a customer project we're looking for a developer with experience in InDesign Server Scripting (we have a InDesign Plugin, but not much experience with Server Scripting) and I hope to find somebody here in this forum.

For the project several InDesign and InCopy document with simple content must be opened and read and the content must be written in one final InDesign Document. Simple for the InCopy documents, more complicated for the InDesign files, they can include images.

 

If you're interested in helping us with this project, please answer here or send me a mail to kfriese@dataplan.de.

so right now on my windows server which is 2008 r2 I have the following installed

Captur00e.PNG

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

Captur00e.PNG

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

Captur00e.PNG

 

Captur00e.PNG

 

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?

Hi,

 

   I am new to Adobe Indesign Server and just got the trial version and am starting to play around with it. I need the Adobe Indesign server to generate preview from .indd packaged files. Currently I am uploading the .indd files directly on the Indesign server to generate previews. Any idea on how to upload/download files from Indesign Server using their client interface. I am currently using their sampleclient and eventually plan to use the SOAP api for building a client. Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks,

I have use InDesignServer to convert indd files to pdf with the help of LBQ feature of IDS.

But at first, the memory of each instance cost 90-150Mb, after a lots of test of converting yesterday, I find it costs up to 1.2 GB for each instance while starting up, CPU usage of each instaces can up to 25%!!!!

What's the problem? I restarted the computer and reinstall the IDS, but it still costs about 1.2 GB for each IDS instance.

 

Can anyone tell me what happened?

InDesignServerService not running on specified port

Hello,

 

 

 

I'm having an issue where I've downloaded the trial version of InDesign CC Server 2014 for use with Sitecore's PXM module. According to their instructions, if I were to modify the .msc file located at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server 2014 by setting the port setting to a specific value, it should then listen on that port provided I restart the service. The InDesignServerService is running according to the task manager, but when I check via netstat, I don't see it at all.

 

Is anyone familiar with issue and if so, what might I be missing? Any help is appreciated.

 

 

 

Thank you,

 

Anthony

Hi,

 

I am working with a company that needs to adress a SOAP call from a Windows server  through C sharp towards an InDesign Server that would be installed on a MAC OS server machine. I can't think of an issue but just to double check, can I have your feeling ?

 

TIA,
