Filename is empty after ReLink

March 1, 2016, 8:01 am

Hello,

 

I have the following code:

 

Utils<Facade::ILinkFacade> linkFacade;

 

            K2::UIFlags uiFlags = K2::UIFlags::kSuppressUI;

 

            ErrorCode relinkResult = linkFacade->RelinkLink(linkRef,

                                                            newLinkURI,

                                                            uiFlags,

                                                            linkUID);

 

InterfacePtr<constILink> theLink(database, linkUID, UseDefaultIID());

InterfacePtr<constILinkResource> theLinkResource(database, linkResourceUID, UseDefaultIID());

 

ISession *mySession = GetExecutionContextSession();

InterfacePtr<IK2ServiceRegistry> serviceR(mySession, UseDefaultIID());

IK2ServiceProvider *nameSvc = serviceR->QueryServiceProviderByClassID(kLinkInfoService,

                                                                      kLinkInfoNameProviderBoss);

InterfacePtr<constIK2ServiceProvider> nameProvider(nameSvc);

InterfacePtr<ILinkInfoProvider> nameInfoService(nameProvider, UseDefaultIID());

 

PMString linkImageFileName = nameInfoService->GetUpdatedInfoForLink(theLink,

                                                                    theLinkResource,

                                                                    true); // This now gives an empty string.

 

But after a relink, linkImageFileName is an empty string. How is that possible and what do I need to do in order to read the filename AFTER a relink?

I think it may be due to the fact that the document has not been saved and that the updated info is not in the document database?

 

 

Thanks in advance.. Regards, Jan

Setting bleedbox on document deletes all elements

Hi All,

The following code works fine for an empty document:

 

...

    UIDRef docRef = ::GetUIDRef(doc);

    float h = mm2pt(getHeight(refnum) / 1000.);

    float w = mm2pt(getWidth(refnum) / 1000.);

 

    /* bleed values in points: */

    PMRect bleedBox;

    bleedBox.Left(mm2pt(bleedLeft / 1000.f));

    bleedBox.Top(mm2pt(bleedTop / 1000.f));

    bleedBox.Right(mm2pt(bleedRight / 1000.f));

    bleedBox.Bottom(mm2pt(bleedBottom / 1000.f));

 

    // Create a SetPageSizeCmd 

    ///InterfacePtr<ICommand> pageCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPageSizeCmdBoss)); <-- This interface doesn't work

    InterfacePtr<ICommand> pageCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss));     <-- This was recommended by community member

 

    // Get an IDocSetupCmdData  for the SetPageSizeCmd:

    InterfacePtr<IDocSetupCmdData> pageData(pageCmd, IID_IDOCSETUPCMDDATA);

   

    pageData->SetDocSetupCmdData(docRef, PMPageSize(w, h), 1, 1, w > h, kLeftToRightBinding, kFalse);

    pageData->SetUseUniformBleed(false);

    pageData->SetBleedBox(bleedBox);

    CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(pageCmd);

 

But if if I have a document opened, all elements are blown away by executing this commend. Size and bleeds are fine.

I thought I only have to setup a command and command data, but something is missing. I only want to change the bleeds, nothing else.

What do I have to change?


Thanks for all your hints!

Update UI when IdleTask is done

Hello,

 

I would like to automatically update the UI of my plugin after an IdleTask is done.

How should I do that?

 

UPDATE:

I am trying to do the following:

I have a button that is disabled and I start an IdleTask and when it is finished the button should be enabled.

Does it make sense to use the IID_ISTARTUPSHUTDOWN interface to start a separate dedicated UI IdleTask when the plugin starts

that updates the UI periodically?

Or is there some other construct I can use... I also tried to use IEventWatcher to no avail.

From within an IdleTask.

 

Is it possible to relink a page item from within an IdleTask and what do I need to do in order to make it work?

Hi All,

 

 

Can anyone guide me for the following,

- I am having a PMPoint object in Pasteboard coordinate space and this lies within in a text box.

- I want to calculate corresponding text index to this PMPoint.

 

 

I didn't find any APIs in InDesign which takes a PMPoint and provide its corresponding text index in a text frame even in waxline and waxrun interfaces.

 

 

Some Info:

1) Application: Adobe InDesign CS4

2) Machine:  MAC OS X

 

 

 

Thanks,

importing tables with linked cell data from excel to indesign

Hey,

 

I'm designing a catalog and have been linking the tables in InDesign from a spreadsheet in excel. In my spreadsheet, I am linking cells from a master sheet to another sheet so that I when I update the information on one sheet, it will update throughout the spreadsheet.

 

Now that I have the linked cells set up in my spreadsheet, I've inputed the tables into InDesign but: the table cells in InDesign containing linked cells from within the spreadsheet do not appear.

 

I've gone through all the import table options in InDesign and cannot find a way to make it work.

 

Does anyone have an answer or input?

 

Thanks,

Newbie - Boss classes and interfaces

I'm currently going through Kris Coppieters' "Adobe InDesign CS3/CS4 SDK Programming Getting Started" book and I'm stuck at one of the exercise (11.9) It asks me to create a new boss 'kIDSDKTrainerBoss' which aggregates 2 interfaces 'ISDKTrainerName' and 'ISDKTrainerBlob'.

 

Now here is what I added in my .fr file:

Class
    {
        kIDSDKTrainerBoss,
          kDialogBoss,
        {
            IID_ISDKTRAINERNAME, kISDKTrainerNameImpl,
            IID_ISDKTRAINERBLOB, kISDKTrainerBlobImpl,
        }
    },

 

  1. First of all I'm not quite sure about the interface IDs. Are IID_ISDKTRAINERNAME and IID_ISDKTRAINERBLOB suitable?
  2. What are the files that I need to create? I guess there will be a ISDKTrainerName.cpp and ISDKTrainerBlob.cpp but apart from those?
  3. How to know which parent Boss ID to use? Here I've put kDialogBoss, but that was just to mimic the other bosses in the .fr file.
  4. Is there somewhere where I can get the source code with the solution, it's not in the zip file provided along with the book?

 

Thanks in advance for your help

CS5.5: How do you derive the size of the pasteboard given an ISpread?

March 15, 2012, 8:32 pm
$
0
0

Basically what I'm doing is programmatically creating a frame on a document and placing the frame anywhere.

This works as long as I create the frame somewhere on the pasteboard.

(I'm defining the pasteboard as that white area on which the pages are positioned.)

 

If I place a frame anywhere fully on the pasteboard then things are all okay.

Even if the new frame slightly overlaps the pasteboard then things are all okay.

However, if I create the new frame so that it is entirely not on the pasteboard then it will crash InDesign.

 

What I need is some way to determine the rectangular bounds of the pasteboard.

This would mean that I could then push the new frames back onto the pasteboard to stop the crash.

However I can't figure out how to get the pasteboard size.

 

Any ideas on how to get a PMRect of the pasteboard bounds when given a ISpread?

RelinkLink and AI files causes crashes

Hi everyone,

 

I'm currently trying to relink a link of a picture frame containing an Adobe Illustrator picture. For any reason, it crashes from times to times. More generally, this crashes sometimes with vector graphics, and not with matricial graphics. Some pictures can crash the first time, and not crash the next time I try to relink it.

 

I use the ILinkFacade to perform this operation, with method RelinkLink. I tried using CanRelinkLink for protection purpose. It crashes in the RelinkLink method :

 

IDataBase *db = parentGraphicFrameRef.GetDataBase();

URI newURI; Utils<IURIUtils>()->IDFileToURI(this->fileToImport, newURI);

Utils<Facade::ILinkFacade> iFacade;

UID linkUID = Utils<ILinkUtils>()->FindLink(oldImageItemRef);

UID newLinkUID = kInvalidUID;

UIDReflinkRef (db, linkUID);

if (iFacade->CanRelinkLink(linkRef)){

    localError = iFacade->RelinkLink(linkRef, newURI, K2::kSuppressUI, newLinkUID);

}

Drag n Drop selected Text from Safari, chrome not working on indesign CC

In CS6 If we drag drop any selected text from any app on layout it work but in indesign cc it is working only with some app like TextEdit, notes etc. I knew that very few people have such use case but same is also not working from one of my cocoa app.

while  debugging if i drop content from TextEdit and Notes app on some sample app I found that TextEdit & Notes App registered for this Extra Pasteboard type "com.adobe.indesign-import-ustl" and "com.adobe.indesign-import-styl" where as chrome and safari are not. similarly my app is registered only for "NSPasteboardTypeString" type. Is this is the limitation or bug of indesign?

Drag'n'Drop working in CS, not in CC

September 2, 2014, 3:13 am

Hi everybody,

 

I have a Flex panel and a native plugin in InDesign. From the flex panel, I initiate a drag, that I wish to drop in InDesign. In my plugin, I have a CDragDropTargetFlavorHelper that works fine up to CS6 to handle the drop initiated by the Flex panel.

 

I have just tried the same operation in InDesign CC 2014 (don't know on CC), but this does not work.

 

In my Flex panel, I set HTML and URL flavours on the drag source. In my native plugin, there is no reaction to those flavours. CouldAcceptTypes() method is even not called. But if I add for example a text flavour in my flex panel, I think another helper consumes my drag, and my plugin does not receive it.

 

Is there any change between CS6 and CC2014 in drop process in native plugins? Or is it in Flex that it has changed?

 

How can I handle this? Should I create a custom flavour shared between my flex panel and my native plugin? If yes, how can I do this in my native plugin?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Rémi

 

EDIT : In my Flex panel, I use flavours ClipboardFormats.URL_FORMAT and ClipboardFormats.HTML_FORMAT. I don't find any matching flavour in native plugin SDK. Historically, I have seen I use something really strange (I don't know where it comes from): PMFlavor(1213484364).
