ParticipantThat’s very strange. We too work on servers and we have all versions of Mac OS and InDesign (CS5 to CC 2019) but didn’t found anyone complaining such thing. I’ll also alert my IT team regarding this issue, just in case.
ParticipantCan’t say what exactly is causing this. To my experience, there can’t be any problem with the Document Fonts folder. Being an IT person in the past, I can say there might be some policies in place or even a back-end script that is not allowing a person to open the file from the server. There’s something that is creating this behaviour.
Being an Administrator of the machine doesn’t mean that you can override the Server policies and permissions. Please check it thoroughly.
PS: try accessing a file from different server or locations.
January 31, 2019 at 4:55 am in reply to: Search for different indent sizes with one command? #114045ParticipantSaid Forhat, It is not Java but JavaScript also known as ECMAscript. If you know JavaScript and knows how to understand DOM, then you can easily learn the Scripting for InDesign. I’m also trying to learn this thing but didn’t find any Video Tutorial or an Institute where I can specifically learn this.
If you got something (other than book), then please share it with me at:
masood.designs@gmail.comGood Luck!
PS: By the way You’re lucky to have a script from Michel :)
ParticipantI would suggest, try creating a package on your Desktop. If you got success, then it’s a Domain User Access issue as David said, Permission issue. In that case you have to contact your IT team.
I also don’t see any issues with the Document Fonts folder.
ParticipantYes there is!
Open the Links Panel in InDesign by pressing Cmd/Ctrl, Shift, d.
Select all the images in the panel.
Right click on the selection and choose “Copy Link(s) To…”
A window will pop-up asking you to select the folder where you want the linked files will be copied.That’s it.
Or you can simply create a Package, which will ultimately copy all the links, fonts etc to a desired location.
ParticipantWe further refine the script. The only problem I can see is that it either runs successfully on one system and only run once on another system. While troubleshooting, I noticed that if a user selects “Yes”, then the script don’t run the second time.
Can anyone help me improve the script. Thanks in advance.
#targetengine "inDesign"app.addEventListener("beforeClose", onClose);
function onClose(e) {
var result = confirm('Have you run the Spell-Check?', true, "WARNING");
if (result == true) {
app.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
return
}else(result == false) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
app.menuActions.item("Check Spelling...").invoke();
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
}
}
ParticipantNehama, If you remember Adobe has a separate version for these Right to Left languages, called Adobe InDesign ME (Middle East). But I think that ME version has been dropped by Adobe and you can switch to Arabic mode by selecting the Arabic language while installing the application. Though on my personal PC, I prefer to work on Adobe InDesign ME CS6 :)
Once you switch to the Arabic language, you’ll find options for Arabic support eg. Right-to-Left paragraph direction etc. With Arabic support enabled, you can work on Hebrew easily.
In case you do not want to do that, try the r2l scripts. Don’t worry with their filename i.e. cs4, they still work in CC versions. I have been using these from a very long time. All you need is to keep these scripts in the Scripts Panel and run the desired script on the selected text. The script names are self explanatory.
r2l_characterdirection_flip.jsx
r2l_characterdirection_r2l.jsx
r2l_paragraphdirection_flip.jsx
r2l-assign_WR_composer_to_ps.jsx
r2l-assign_WR_para_composer.jsx
r2l-assign_WR_single_composer.jsx
r2l-paragraph_style_Arabic.jsx
r2l-paragraph_style_Hebrew.jsxhttps://desktoppublishingforum.com/bb/archive/index.php/t-8713.html

Hope that works for you.
ParticipantTry creating a new Book and add the InDesign files again.
ParticipantAny Luck :)
ParticipantHi @Kai Rübsamen,
Hope you’re well.
Sorry to bother you again. But I need your help to refine the below code.
I was looking for a script to run spell check before closing a file. So with some help from my colleague and using your code we created a code that is filling our requirements.
I also tried to get some help from Adobe but there’s no response. So I have to come back to my favourite team.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2521329The code is working fine i.e.
a) A message pops-up when a user closes a file;
b) If the user press No, then it open the Spell-Check dialog box;
c) If the user press Yes, then the file gets closed; BUT
d) It pops-up another message with Yes/No.Can the last pop-up message be disabled. Any help would be much appreciated.
#targetengine "Reminder to run the Spell Check before Closing a file"app.addEventListener("beforeClose", onClose);
function onClose(myEvent) {
var result = confirm("Have you run the Spell-Check?", true, "WARNING");if (result == true) {
return
};else (result == false) {
myEvent.stopPropagation();
myEvent.preventDefault();
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
app.menuActions.item("Check Spelling...").invoke();
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
};
}
ParticipantIt happened to me too around a year back when I was handling a large project where 100+ people were working on it. I randomly got one file, then other and other and other where the swatches were changed dramatically. It took me long to figure our who did that and finally I found the one, I was looking for. Then I asked the person to do one job for me. He did the job in the right manner, but when I showed him the swatches value, he was surprised too. I checked the colour settings and fixed it. There was a colour mismatch on his system.
I realised that some people are still unaware of the basics of Colour Management and most of them don’t care about it. Therefore, after completing that project, I started giving the Colour Management training, basic level to my team mates. Now they have some knowledge in hand and can take decisions whenever a ‘Profile Mistmatch’ Dialog-box pops-up.
January 15, 2019 at 5:31 am in reply to: Master Page Items Re-Appear After Merging Two Files! #113592ParticipantThanks Melise, for sharing your experience with me. However, as I said that we cannot alter/edit the Master Pages as they are client provided. So we do either way i.e. deleting the Master items after merging or pasting the items page by page.
I often adapt the Layers option as suggested by you for my other clients, but the job in question here has multiple Layers as well so I’m looking for some more robust and efficient method.
Any other clues would be much appreciated.
ParticipantHi William,
It seems, you forgot that you already have the script. Check this:
@David/@Mike, can you check with your database since it’s a same post with different urls.
…and
@Michel Allio for FRIdNGE, you were same on both urls.ParticipantThanks for the suggestions, Jon. I think my team-mates will go with Triple Triangle.
ParticipantJust a refined version of what Kal suggested.
Try this:
GREP Find what:
\d\u\d{5}(?!(-X))Change to:
$0-XThe above GREP query won’t look for the strings that already have the -X suffix. So you can do a ‘Change All’, blindly.
Please let us know your thoughts.
