This posting has nothing to do with IDML or the IDMLlib, but some of you might run in to the same problem as I am, switching the language of a localized Flash Builder 4 installation. If you have a localized version of the Creative Suite 5, it is inevitable (IMHO) that the Flash Builder 4 will also end up in a localized version on your system.

A lot of people seem to be very surprised that Adobe dropped the INX support from InDesign® 7.0 based on the fact that a lot of twitter messages read like this:
“I finally managed to open a CS5 InDesign file in CS4″ or
“How do I export a CS5 InDesign File to CS3, there is no INX export option ?”
This post is for all people asking these question and haven’t found an answer yet.
In version 1.0 there has only been support for container-based IDML document (.idml), which has been represented by the de.fhcon.idmllib.api.elements.Document object. As outlined in our first IDMLlib article, snippets support was one of the major features for the next IDMLlib release. Besides the obvious InDesign-Snippet (.idms) we support InCopy-Assignment (.icma) and InCopy-Markup-Language (.icml) files. For more information about different IDML files types see this article from Adobe’s Heath Lynn.

Since we did have a couple of requests by PHP coders to work with IDML, IDMLlib and PHP we took a look at the PHP JavaBridge Project on Sourceforge.
To make a long story short – it seems to work ok :-) We will try out some more complex examples to see how stable everything is.
Here is my recipe to make IDMLlib for Java work with apache2, tomcat6, java6 and php5.

One of the most asked questions of our customers is: “Is the IDMLlib able to import Snippets (.idms) into IDML documents?”. Fortunately we have been able to answer this question with yes since the very first IDMLlib 1.1 milestones. But until now this has been a very source code intensive task. I will show you later how easy it is with the current build using our new IDMLlib-Utility-Framework. But let me first explain what’s the idea behind snippets and what it needs to import the snippet. (more…)
The IDMLlib 1.1 release is imminent and brings a lot of new features, besides the already advertised Read/Write and Snippet support.
We started this blog as a way to introduce the new features and give you some ideas what is possible with the new IDMLlib 1.1 release, starting today. We will also use this blog to give early insight of upcoming features like CS5 support and discuss the features with you.
In late 2009 we announced the availability of an IDMLlib for .NET in 2010. The current requests for a .NET version are unfortunately not justifying to develop a native .NET implementation. Because we don’t want to disappoint you, we started to investigate a way of converting the Java library into a .NET version. After some modifications to the Java library, we are now able to convert the Java library into a .NET library.
