Hi,
I’ve tried to make an applescript that makes indesign CS2 make a document… Displays a Finder “choose folder dialogbox” then it places all selected images from page 1 to 256 (if there is enough images). BUT some times i want the first image to be placed at fx. page 6 or 3 and not page 1, what to do? is it possible to make a dialog which ask you which page to start from?
Oh, and how do i right align the “myTextFrameRight”?
Im using os x tiger and indesign cs2
I know it looks ugly but it works 
--Makes 256 pages document, width 125mm, height 185mm, facing pages (jumbobog-format).
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to make document
tell document preferences of myDocument
set pages per document to 256
set page width to "125 mm"
set page height to "185 mm"
facing pages
end tell
--Set all margins to 10 mm
set myMarginPrefs to margin preferences
tell myMarginPrefs
set top to "10 mm"
set bottom to "10 mm"
set left to "10 mm"
set right to "10 mm"
end tell
end tell
--Makes auto page number on each page.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell master spread "A-Master" of document 1
set myTextFrameLeft to make text frame with properties {geometric bounds:{"175mm", "10mm", "185mm", "25mm"}}
set myTextFrameRight to make text frame with properties {geometric bounds:{"175mm", "225mm", "185mm", "240mm"}}
set text of myTextFrameLeft to auto page number
set text of myTextFrameRight to auto page number
end tell
end tell
set myReverseOrder to true
--Set placed images width and height
set myPageWidth to 115
set myPageHeight to 175
--Display a Finder "Choose Folder" dialog box.
set myFolder to choose folder with prompt "Vælg den mappe med de filer du vil have placeret."
tell application "Finder"
set myFiles to files of myFolder
set myNumberOfPages to (count myFiles)
end tell
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to active document
if myReverseOrder is true then
set myPageNumber to myNumberOfPages
set myPageIncrement to -1
else
set myPageNumber to 1
set myPageIncrement to 1
end if
-- make a layer with the name "Image layer"
tell myDocument
try
set ImageLayer to layer "Image layer" of myDocument
on error
set ImageLayer to make layer with properties {visible:true, locked:false, name:"Image layer"}
end try
end tell
repeat with myCounter from 1 to myNumberOfPages
set myFileName to item myCounter of myFiles as string
set myPage to page myPageNumber of myDocument
tell myPage
-- place the image on the "Image layer"
set myRectangle to make rectangle with properties {geometric bounds:{"10mm", "10mm", myPageHeight, myPageWidth}, item layer:"Image layer"}
tell myRectangle
place myFileName
end tell
fit myRectangle given center content
end tell
set myPageNumber to myPageNumber + myPageIncrement
end repeat
end tell
