This is my second post for my problem.
Hopefully someone can help me out with the following:
I have a script to set all graphics to nonprinting, unlock the text frames, group the text frames, move thegroup, and export pfd
I could use some help to edit the script with the following:
If a graphic has a certain name: set nonprinting true
if a frame contains a certain filling (PANTONE bla bla) set nonprinting true
if any frames are locked - unlock
group all frames ( text and graphics) except frames with a certain image and a certain filling
move this group to x…, y…
It would also be nice if the script could move all docs to the subfolder “Oud” after Indesign has processed these docs
I’m not familiar with scripting Indesign, so please help me out - I need to edit aprox. 7000 docs!!!
Here’s the script that needs to be chanched:
set processFolder to choose folder with prompt "Kies een folder met Indd Docs"
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists folder "Nieuw" of processFolder) then
make new folder at processFolder with properties {name:"Nieuw"}
end if
if not (exists folder "Oud" of processFolder) then
make new folder at processFolder with properties {name:"Oud"}
end if
if not (exists folder "PDF" of processFolder) then
make new folder at processFolder with properties {name:"PDF"}
end if
if not (exists folder "Error" of processFolder) then
make new folder at processFolder with properties {name:"Error"}
end if
set the destination1_folder to folder "Nieuw" of processFolder as alias
set the destination2_folder to folder "Oud" of processFolder as alias
set the destination3_folder to folder "PDF" of processFolder as alias
set the destination4_folder to folder "Error" of processFolder as alias
end tell
tell application "Finder"
try
set listFiles to (files of contents of processFolder) as alias list
on error
set listFiles to (files of contents of processFolder) as alias as list
end try
repeat with thisFile in listFiles
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
with timeout of 120 seconds
activate
open thisFile
set myDoc to document 1
tell myDoc
try
set properties of view preferences to {horizontal measurement units:millimeters, vertical measurement units:millimeters, ruler origin:page origin}
set docName to name
set transform reference point of layout window 1 to top left anchor
set nonprinting of all graphics to true
set locked of every text frame to false
set myBox to every text frame of page 1
if (count myBox) > 1 then
set theGroup to (make group at page 1 with properties {group items:every text frame of page 1})
move theGroup to {8, 10}
else
move myBox to {8, 10}
end if
on error the error_message number the error_number
tell application "Finder" to move thisFile to destination4_folder with replacing
display dialog "Error: " & the error_number & ". " & the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end try
end tell
export document 1 format PDF type to (destination3_folder as string) & docName & ".pdf" using PDF export preset "[PDF/X-1a:2001]" without showing options
save document 1 to (destination1_folder as string) & docName
close document 1 saving yes
--tell application "Finder" to move thisFile to destination2_folder with replacing
end timeout
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end
end
