I try to make a script who can save me a lot of time.
I have to copy a folder (with existing indexing documents), I have to make some changes in the indesign documents.
I already get so far that I can copy the folder, and that I can make the changes. But I can’t put both scripts together in one script…
--kopieer map
tell application "Finder"
set sourceFile to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder to copy:"
set targetFolder to desktop
try
duplicate folder sourceFile to targetFolder
end try
--pas marges aan & run javascript
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
activate
set aScriptPath to "Applications:Adobe InDesign CS5.5:Scripts:Scripts Panel:SeparatePages.jsx"
set fileList to every document of sourceFile
repeat with aFile in fileList
set theDoc to open aFile
set myDocument to active document
tell myDocument
set left of margin preferences of every page to 13
set right of margin preferences of every page to 13
do script alias aScriptPath language javascript
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell
--kopieer map
set aScriptPath to ((path to applications folder as text) & "Adobe InDesign CS5.5:Scripts:Scripts Panel:SeparatePages.jsx")
tell application "Finder"
set sourceFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder to copy:"
try
set targetFolder to duplicate sourceFolder to desktop
set fileList to every document file of targetFolder
on error e
display dialog "An error occurred" & return & e buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
end try
--pas marges aan & run javascript
end tell
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
activate
repeat with aFile in fileList
set myDocument to open file (aFile as text)
tell myDocument
set left of margin preferences of every page to 13
set right of margin preferences of every page to 13
do script alias aScriptPath language javascript
end tell
end repeat
end tell
thanks a lot. My script is almost ready… I am struggling with the export to interactive pdf
This is the exporting part of my script
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
tell active book
set myDesktopFolder to path to desktop as string
set myFile to myDesktopFolder & "InteractivePDF.pdf" as string
set export layers of interactive PDF export preference to true
set generate thumbnails of interactive PDF export preference to true
set pdf magnification of interactive PDF export preference to fit page
set pdf page layout of interactive PDF export preference to single page
export format interactive PDF to myFile
end tell
end tell
