      Dear Frds,

      I’m working on IDML file automation. My Requirement is to showcase IDML template in HTML5 editor.

      I have simple TextFrame with “Hello World” Text. I saved file as “sample.idml”.

      Now, i made unzip of “sample.idml” got few files. gone to “stories folder” & opened “story_d8.xml”

      Since i’m developer, i did same throgh java and exposed file path as REST call.

      Now biggest stop point is “Jquery / angularJS” script saying “invalid file”.

      Can someone suggest below point

      1. get “Content” data using javascript (Jquery/AngularJS)

      2. Put “Demo Hellow” in “Content” and regenerate “story_d8.xml” (In javascript)

      3. Is this correct approach ? Any other alternative to this approach ?

      I do not have an answer for you (perhaps someone else here does), but I will say that this is the kind of information that developers will be talking about at The Creative Developers Summit in Chicago next month ( https://pepcon.com/creativedevsummit.html )
