    Just a refined version of what Kal suggested.

    Try this:

    GREP Find what:
    \d\u\d{5}(?!(-X))

    Change to:
    $0-X

    The 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.

    Peter, you’re great. It seems that scripts pop out on their own From your fingers. Love you!

    I don’t think you need a script for this. You can save your statements as Find/Change Queries and run them sequentially, one by one, skipping the ones that are not required. This will give you better control than a script. Hope that helps.

    Hi @Kai Rübsamen,

    Can the script be updated to work in Illustrator as well. I didn’t find Startup Scripts folder in illustrator.
    I want a pop-up message on Export and Close. Can you please look into this once again and suggest something.

    Thanks in advance!

    in reply to: Change to LowerCase #111587

    I came up with this:

    //Change to Uppercase to Lowercase

    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.properties = ({findWhat:"[A-Z]"});
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = "Letter ID";
    found = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
    for (i = 0; i < found.length; i++)
    found[i].characters[0].changecase (ChangecaseMode.lowercase);

    Though it works fine, can someone check if it needs any improvement?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Gert and Gustavo for your giving your inputs on this. I really appreciate it.

    The original image supplied by the client was already in CMYK. Apart from this, I work with the team who do not follow the RGB images workflow. It is strictly mentioned in all the process to convert the images to CMYK before doing anything. So there’s no point explaining them the benefits of using RGB images. They don’t listen :(

    What we have here is, we created three images, applied the color profile, did the color correction and finally created the PDF.

    Anyway thanks again for your suggestions and inputs.

    Thanks Gustavo, I appreciate, sharing your knowledge here. It seems I’m following the right process. We did the color correction before creating the PDFs.

    Hi David, You need not to say sorry. I know you’re are doing a great job by supporting such a beautiful platform where people seek and get help. We all learn from here. But from the last couple of months, I am noticing that some people are not of helping nature. They need money for their efforts. And it is not bad, one should get the fee for his time. But forums like this is not the right place. This is a community where people come in a hope that they’ll get their issue resolved. But some people are violating its soul.

    It is also true that there’s no discussion of money making here on this thread. But it is there in another thread posted by me.

    …where Colin, tries to give his humble support in breakups, supported by Kai.

    Colin, here follows the same pattern of his generous support.

    What I request here is for myself only. I don’t get a penny out of it. I don’t sell these things. My people come to me with varied queries and I try to resolve them as best I can. Sometimes, I too get stuck with some repeated task, so I think of a script and look for it. That’s it.

    My request to all the members is that if you’re willing to support this forum with your valuable experiences and knowledge, then please come forward, else nobody is forcing you to respond.

    To all the Geniuses rather Money-making guys,

    If I would have known JavaScript, then I wouldn’t have posted this request here. There’s no point suggesting this or that. Simply give the solution, or leave it as-is. No one is forcing you to respond.

    I remember, the times when people share their knowledge on the Forums including InDesignSecrets.com. But God knows from these money making guys have come together here. It seems that they are out of their job and trying to earn their livelihood in some or the other way :)

    @InDesignSecrets team, as I said earlier, please create a separate page for these money loving guys and let them earn bread & butter for the day.

    I’m desperate to learn JavaScript but not getting the starting point. I’m trying to catch someone who can teach me JS for InDesign. And I’m sure, one day I’ll learn JavaScript.

    Thanks a ton for all your responses!
