Hi,
I want to get the UIDRef of the selected page item like Rectangle Frame. Can you show me the complete code snippet to get the UIDRef of selected Rectangle Frame. I need this UIDRef for getting the geometric bounds properties(width and height) of the selected rectangle frame to display the user in dialog box.
Regards,
K.Saravanan.

Any idea how can I avoid getting this message? Is there any change required in the .fr file?
Indesign CC 2014 crashes on trying to open a IDML file through my custom extension
Hi,
I have ported my HTML extension from Indesign 9.2 to Indesign CC 2014 and things were looking just fine.
But Now, when I try to open the saved IDML document, Indesign Crashes.
Windows error reporting gives the below picture
Faulting application name: InDesign.exe, version: 10.1.0.70, time stamp: 0x5424e38b Faulting module name: Public.dll, version: 10.1.0.70, time stamp: 0x5424e290 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00000000000546b4 Faulting process id: 0x58e0 Faulting application start time: 0x01cfe9cfc85d4f86 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2014\InDesign.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2014\Public.dll Report Id: 88eb8dca-55c3-11e4-81b6-f8b156db39b5
It failed somewhere in Public.dll but I am not getting how and where. Is there any way I can debug it and get to know Or if any one faced such kind of issue?

Our company has purchased Adobe CC and I would like to be able to open a Quark 9.1 file without having to purchase an additional plug-in from a "NON-Adobe" website.
Our company purchased several copies of the Adobe package to update thousands of files into InDesign. We were unaware that the newer version of Adobe could NOT update our Quark files and without this capability it makes more sense for our company to remain using Quark.
Suggestion: Adobe should put out their own plugin that properly converts these files from Quark 9.1 to InDesign.
I would also like to add my concerns over your horrific customer service team.
I added a PluginConfig.txt. (Users/user/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version/en_US)
But Nothing happened. (When using the Plug-Ins folder was work well.)
PluginConfig.txt test texts.

What is the Problem?
When I drag an image from browser into the layout, the external flavor is kPasteboardTypeFileURLPromiseExternalFlavor
Now, I try to handle this external flavor in my flavor helper's ProcessDragDropCommand.
I try to internalize as follows:
controller->InternalizeDrag(kNoExternalFlavor, kMyDragDropCustomFlavor);
kMyDragDropCustomFlavor is supported via my custom data exchange handler.
Have overridden CanInternalizeData and Internalize data in my data exchange handler.
My biggest hurdle: is in reading the dragged item from IPMDataObject as stream.
IPMDataObject::GetStreamForReading never gives me the stream.
NOTE: I at least expect to read the URL of the image dragged and not the entire image stream.
When you drag an image from browser to InDesign layout (in Windows version), a text box is created with URL data.
I would like to achive the same. I would appreciate if someone can shed light on this.
I need to resize existing text frame and also place another frame from different page.
Can any one suggest soluction for the problem.
Hi All
I'm new in HTML Extensions.
I would like to convert my old scripts and use it with my new extension.
Running a jsx is quite easy but, usually, I have many variables and functions initialized in a startup script.
It seems that script launched with extensions can't see those variables and functions.
Is it true or I'm missing something?
I apologize if my questions is stupid.
Thanks in advance.

i have design a plugin for fetching x/y coordinate of pageitem. i have requirement of string conversion from PMRect.
i converted PMRect to PMString form this way. but i get error massege.
"error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const PMRect' (or there is no acceptable conversion)"
please tell me how to solve out this error
PMRect xyCordinate;
xyCordinate = iGeometry->GetStrokeBoundingBox();
string String = static_cast<ostringstream*>(&(ostringstream() << xyCordinate))->str();
WideString tempWideString(String.c_str()); // widestring accept string of type Char * so convert it using c_str().
PMString tempPMString;
tempPMString.Append(tempWideString);
tempPMString.Append("\t");
CAlert::INformation(tempPMString);
I generate a dialog-based plug-in project using DollyXS.

I'm trying to change the size of the pasteboard in code, in the same way that a user would change it via Guides and Pasteboard Preferences.
The code I have at the moment seems to change the values displayed in the preferences dialog for "Horizontal margins" and "Vertical margins", but doesn't actually change the visible pasteboard.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
IDocument* doc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();
InterfacePtr<IPasteboardPrefs> pasteboardPrefs(static_cast<IPasteboardPrefs>(::QueryPreferences(IID_IPASTEBOARDPREFERENC ES, doc)));
pasteboardPrefs->SetPasteboardBorder(newXVal, newYVal);
I've also tried an "apply" command I found, in follow up to the above code, but it made no difference:
InterfacePtr<ICommand> setPasteboardCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPasteboardPrefsCmdBoss));
if (setPasteboardCmd) {
CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(setPasteboardCmd);
}
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I am trying to port the Flex project developed in Flash Builder 4.6 with Extension builder 2.1, to InDesign CC (2014).
As per the SDK help it mentions I can use the same environment mentioned above to port the project. But when I try it is giving error " This extension cannot be installed, it requires InDesign version in range of inclusively between 9.0 and 9.9.
Do I need to set anything before compiling the plugin for CC(2014)? Or do I need to port in some other environment? If yes where can I get the details of other environment?
Thanks for the help in advance.
Regards
Farzana.
I have succesfully ported some of my developments to CS5. I have used the following procedure:
- create new project by using dollyX
- add source code
- fix the errors
But now I have encountered an error I can't figure out.
Error 1 error R32762: # Error: Error looking for resource specification. Need 'resource' or 'type'. C:\Program Files\Adobe\CS5\InDesign Product SDK\source\public\interfaces\architecture\IPMUnknown.h 47
Any suggestions?

Could help me an expert how can I see PMString, WideString etc. values in the VS 2013 debugger?
I use for CC 2014 these settings in the autoexp.dat and working fine:

Hi
I try to use testing inDesign CC 2015 version with this C# asp.net code
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
InDesign.Application app = (InDesign.Application)COMCreateObject("InDesign.Application");
// other code
...
}
public static object COMCreateObject(string sProgID)
{
Type oType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(sProgID);
if (oType != null)
{
return Activator.CreateInstance(oType);
}
return null;
}
When i run this, i receive an InvalidCastException
I try some of different cast sequence but the result is always the same, i can't recover the com object.
InDesign was launch succefully, the object was create, but i can't use it.
I search on different topic and forum, try lot of solution but none of them work.
Any help?
ps : sorry for my bad english, i am french (no, no, don't throw stone at me )
