Hi All,
I have a java application program running on a remote machine say M1.
I have InDesign Server CS6 installed on another machine say M2.
Now my question is as follows.
Is it possible to start InDesign Server which will serve SOAP request from a java application program(running on M1).

Hi,
I'm search for the best approach to implement an automatic content driven composition with Indesign.
My contents are XML based.
For now, I work with InDesign (Desktop app) and a scripting solution to handle CMS search and import in predefined InDesign templates or files with known pages number.
Tomorow, I need a solution to compose many pages on demand with an unknown pages number produced, a simple and repeatable InDesign template.
InDesign server will be used to do this job.
But how to use it ?
by handling IDML files ?
by scripting ? an ImageCatalog.jsx based on an XML structure ...
other solution ? maybe a plugin ?
What's the best approach in term of performances, development charge and maintenability ?
Any ideas, samples, ... will be appreciated
Thanks
I need to make sure I'm running the latest up to date version of InDesign Sever CC 2014, but I'm struggling to find any updates. Can anyone help please?
Current version 10.0.0.70. I cannot upgrade to CC 2015, just need the latest patch for CC 2014.
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.
Hi,
I tried to install Indesign Server CC 2014 on my Macbook Pro, but the install fails showing message "Erforderliche Komponenten sind deaktiviert" (english translation: Required components are deactivated).
The Macbook is running MacOSX 10.10.5 and Adobe Creative Cloud 2015 including Adobe Indesign is installed on the machine.

Hi,
I want to have InDesign Server trial for ever for one my cloud product in which I am tring to demo. After the demo user can either purchase InDesign server themself or plug-in my tool with their existing InDesign server. If I use InDesign Server 90 days trial, after 90 days, will it stop to work or continue to work with water mark? I am fine to have water mark even from the first day. I email to Adobe asking "InDesign Server Developer Free License" but no response. Please advise.

Hi all,
I am working on a project including IDS CC 2015 on a Mac. If I use uncompiled version of the script, it just works fine. Once I compile the code, I get a segmentation fault error and the server crashes. On prior versions this compiled code works fine.
Had anyone already faced that issue ? Any hint on how to prevent it ?
Thanks in advance for your help,

I need to pass some parameters from a plugin to a script. I have tried this method:
PMString engineName("myengine");
PMString scriptString("C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS4 Debug/Scripts/IterateFolder.jsx");
IDFile scriptFile;
scriptFile.SetString(scriptString);
PMString value("c:/windows");
ScriptData param1;
param1.SetPMString(valor);
ScriptIDValuePair argument1(0, param1);
ScriptRecordData arguments;
arguments.push_back(argument1);
ScriptData result;
PMString errorString;
ScriptData scriptFileData(scriptFile);
int32 errorCode=Utils<IExtendScriptUtils>()->RunScriptInEngine( engineName, scriptFileData, arguments, result, errorString);
The problem is that I don´t really kwno how can I get the parameters in my script. I suppose it must be something like app.scriptArgs.getValue(), but i don´t really know. Could anybody help me?
Thanks,
Alvaro
Hello everybody!
I tried to import an simple XML with the ExtendScript Toolkit on InDesign CS5 Server with the following script:
var myXmlFile = new File("../path/blubb.xml");
var myContent;
myXmlFile.open("r", undefined, undefined);
while(!myXmlFile.eof){
myContent = myXmlFile.read();
var xml_value = myContent.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName('ROOT').nodeValue;
//var xml_value = myContent.getElementsByTagName('ROOT').item(0).firstChild.nodeValue;
alert(xml_value);
}
the XML-FIle is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROOT>
<TEST>blubb</TEST>
<TEST2>bla</TEST2>
</ROOT>
If i alert myContent, there is the whole XML in the terminal output in one line. And the console of the ExtendScript Toolkit says "Execution finished. Ergebnis: undefined". (why is the result: unfinished?)
Now i tried to get some nodeValues in different ways (from different tutorials) but sometimes theres an error "myContent.getElementsByTagName is not a function". So i tried different ways, without this functions but if i tried to access the nodes like this:
var xml_value = myContent.item[0];
or some other compositions with "firstChild", "item[x]" and "nodeValue", there is the error message "undefined is not an object".
Could anyone please give me a hint, how to read the xml-data in a loop? I need to parse some XML-FIles from InDesign-CS2-Documents and create new InDesign-CS5-Documents, but stucked already at the first step...
Thanks for your reponses!

Hi everyone,
at first i'd like to say hi to anyone on this board and well ...
i have a problem that i don't seem to get fixed. I'm using Indesign Server CS5 with the JAVA/CORBA-API working fine so far.
I need to replace text in some predefined TextFrames which have tags assigned like 'Header', 'Bodytext' and so on. I have been struggling
for some hours until now, not being able to come up with a solution.
This is basically what i have now :
VariableType vtDocument = myApp.open(VariableTypeUtils.createFile(szDocumentPath), OptArg.noOpenOptionsEnum());
myDoc = DocumentHelper.narrow(vtDocument.asObject());
TextFrame[] aDocTextFrames = myDoc.getNthChildPage(0).getAllChildTextFrames();
for(int i=0;i<aDocTextFrames.length;i++){
aDocTextFrames[i].getAssociatedXMLElement().toString();}
At first that code printed something like a XML-Node-Descriptor, leaving me wondering how to get to the XMLTag, which was associated with the textframes in the InDesignfile. Right now the script just dumps out the IOR-Descriptor, leaving me even more confused.
Does anyone know a good approach on how to get the XMLTag for a certain TextFrame?
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I am using a windows service to access the indesign server. The instance is created like below.
Dim oType As Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("InDesignServer.Application")
If oType IsNot Nothing Then
Return Activator.CreateInstance(oType)
End If
If already an instance is created by some other application, then my service is not able to create an instance. I get the following error from the COM
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {96D10A00-63E3-423E-A223-DFC4BEA21206} failed due to the following error: 80080005."
In some article i read that instance can be created by different port numbers and different configuration.
Is there anyway in VB.net to create an instance like that and will it solve the multiple instance problem ?

Hi Experts,
We are running multiple instances of Indesign server service. But for all the instances Logs are coming into single file. Is it possible to separe the logs for each instance of server.
It will be great help for analysing each server request. If possible please let us know.
Thanks in advance.
