Has anyone built CS6 plugins for Mavericks?

Hi,

 

Having installed OS X Mavericks, we tried running our plugins with InDesign, but they crash.  I've rebuilt them after replacing the Carbon framework with the Core Foundation one, but they still crash.  Has anyone managed to build CS6 plugins for Mavericks?

 

Which version of XCode  and which version of the OS X SDK have you used?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

     I need to get the X,Y coordinates of a selected page item based on left-top of the frame. I tried all possible methods to find X,Y coordinates of a page item. But calculated coordinates is warrying from indesign UI displayed X,Y coordinates.

 

My code snippet is below:

 

InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> node(itemRef, IID_IHIERARCHY);

InterfacePtr<ITransform> transform(node, IID_ITRANSFORM);

PMMatrix inner2parent =transform->GetInnerToParentMatrix();

PBPMRect bBox =pGeometry->GetStrokeBoundingBox(inner2parent);

PMPoint leftTop=bBox.LeftTop();

 

 

The itemRef is my selected rectangle frame reference.

Anything wrong in my code please give a solution immediately. I need a exact X,Y coordinates like indesign Ui displayed.

 

Thanks

Custom drawn TextEditBoxWidget

October 23, 2014, 4:25 am
$

I'd like to extend the TextEditBox widget in a way that allows me to do some additional drawing once the standard draw has happened.

  Class

  {

       kMyCustomTextEditBoxWidgetBoss,

       kTextEditBoxWidgetBoss,

       {

            IID_ICONTROLVIEW, kMyCustomTextEditBoxWidgetBossImpl,

       }

  }

 

I can't seem to find any specific ControlView-based class to derive from in my corresponding implementation. If I derive from DVControlView / CControlView, the standard TextEditBox drawing doesn't happen, and there's no editing capability if I click where the widget is.

 

Ideally, I'd like a fully functional TextEditBox which I can draw on top of. Is this possible?

 

Pre-CC versions, I was just doing the additional drawing with a separate widget drawn over a standard text box. However, CC seems to remove the ability to specify draw order in the fr file and my on-top-widget gets drawn behind.

Is there another way of specifying draw order of widgets instead? If so, I can stick to my current solution.

 

Thanks in advance

Icon corruption in InDesign CC using PlatformIconClass

I'm porting an InDesign plugin from mac to windows. It supports InDesign CS5.5 through to CC2014.

I'm displaying a PNG image using PlatformIconClass with the code:

 

PlatformIconClass theIcon;

theIcon.LoadIcon(myPluginID, myRsrcID);

PMRect frame = GetFrame();

frame.MoveTo(0, 0);

ContentToWindowTransform(&frame);

theIcon.Draw(viewPort, ToSys(frame), kFalse);

 

The RsrcId is for a PNG specified in the fr file with PNGA etc as standard.

 

In CS5.5 and CS6, it displays fine. However CC shows image corruption (see screengrab - left is 5.5, right CC). Any ideas on what's causing this and how to fix?

Adobe’s PlugPlug library

Hi

 

I'm trying to include a flex panel in an already created InDesign CS5 Plugin. Im using flashbuilder and CSExtension Builder to create a bundled extension which installs the extension, and places the plugin at the right place.

 

I have an HTML control on the flex panel and I want its content to be decided at runtime. Basically I want to change the "Location" property of the mx:HTML control on the flex panel from InDesign.

 

The CSExtensionBuilder help states:
"Adobe offers the Application SDK Extension Toolkit that shows you how to use Adobe’s PlugPlug library to communicate between C/C++ and ActionScript. The toolkit provides the libraries, documentation, and samples you need to build a hybrid extension where the components communicate with each other.

 

You can include these libraries directly in Photoshop, InDesign, and Flash Pro native plug-ins.

 

For information on using the PlugPlug libraries in Illustrator, see the FreeGrid sample in the Illustrator SDK."

 

I've looked at the Illustrator sample but things don't seem to be very clear. Also, where can I find the "SDK Extension Toolkit"?
Any help would be immensely appreciated.

          if (!textModel)

   break;

          //wax strand

          InterfacePtr<IWaxStrand> waxStrand(((IWaxStrand*)textModel->QueryStrand(kFrameListBoss, IID_IWAXSTRAND)));

          if (waxStrand == nil)

   break;

          //WaxIterator

          K2::scoped_ptr<IWaxIterator> waxIterator(waxStrand->NewWaxIterator());

          if (waxIterator == nil)

          IWaxLine* waxLine = waxIterator->GetFirstWaxLine(paraRange.Start(nil));

          //iterate each waxline

          while (waxLine != nil && (waxLine->TextOrigin() < paraRange.End()))

          {

    //Iterate for all runs

   K2::scoped_ptr<IWaxRunIterator> waxRunIter( waxLine->QueryWaxRunIterator() ) ;

   IWaxRun * waxRun = waxRunIter->GetFirstRun();

   while (waxRun)

                    {

   int32 startPos  = waxRun->TextOrigin();

   int32 endPos = startPos + waxRun->GetCharCount();

   RangeData textRange(startPos ,endPos);

   ISelectionManager* selMgr = m_activeContext->GetContextSelection();

   if(!selMgr)

    break;

   //get valid textselection suite

  InterfacePtr<ITextSelectionSuite> suite(selMgr, UseDefaultIID());

                              if (!suite)

   break;

                              //select  text

  suite->SetTextSelection(storyRef, textRange, Selection::kScrollIntoView, nil);

                    }

          }

XCode 5 and InDesign CC 2014

Something in the CC 2014 SDK looks strange to me. In the porting guide, The mentionned version of XCode is 5.0.2. This version of XCode supports Mac OS SDK 10.8 and higher. But in InDesign CC 2014 requirements, Mac OS 10.7 is supported. So why using XCode 5.0.2 which does not support this version of Mac OS?

 

Furthermore, I have been able to compile a plugin with XCode 4.5.2, as needed for InDesign CC (9.x) version.

 

Is this a mistake in the documentation, or did I miss something enormous?

Minimum page size ... again

I would like to know, if there is a minimum size for an InDesign page.

When trying to create a document smaller than 30x30mm InDesign keeps complaining, that the "Specified margin and column setup does not fit within specified page size". Margin and gutter is set to zero. The page has one column.

I've searched the whole forum but did not find any suitable information on this. Referenced threads are not found any more.

I'd be happy if someone could give me a small hint.

Tanks,

Adobe InDesign API Navigator is available on Adobe labs

Adobe InDesign CS5 API Navigator is available on Adobe labs web site. You can download for free.

 

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/indesign_apinavigator/

 

If you are an InDesign C++ plug-in developer, you should definitely try this new tool.

 

The InDesign API Navigator is a tool for InDesign C++ Plug-in developers. It works as an add-in for Visual Studio on Windows and as a plug-in for Xcode on Mac OS X. It helps developers get API information within the IDE directly, including Boss definitions, aggregating Bosses for interfaces, and ODFRC type definitions. It also adds syntax coloring for ODFRC files (.fr and .fh). It extends the debugger expression evaluator to understand some InDesign types, which allows the debugger to format some InDesign types nicely in the variables pane (Xcode) or watch window (Visual Studio) while debugging. In Visual Studio, it enables the IDE to browse InDesign C++ APIs.

 

Try it and give your comments.

 

Thanks

C# Resource for InDesign

Hey Everyone,

 

I feel like an idiot, and I am probably missing something stupid.  I had written an application a few years back to convert InDesign CS1 documents to CS2 using a C# application to automate the process.  To do it, I just added the "Adobe Indesign CS2 Type Library" as a project Resource.  I am trying to now update that application to convert all of those documents from CS2 to CS5 but I can't find the "Adobe Indesign CS5 Type Library" to add to the project.  The only one I have been able to find is the "Adobe Illustrator CS5 Type Library".  Can anyone tell me where I can download it, or am I missing something??

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way!!
