Hello,
I have a script that takes quark files, opens them and makes PDF’s. I have been trying to get the same results by dragging inDesign CS2 documents on the script…But nothing has worked…here is the quark script…I already changed all the quark stuff to indesign and changed any of the menu terminology, but no go…so, I am posting the original…any guidance to making an InDesign file(s) do other same thing would be most appreciated…
thanks~!
