Do you spend too much time doing repetitive production tasks such
as placing and replacing images, correcting errors in text,
cutting and pasting, and preparing files for printing, instead of
being creative? Do you use Adobe InDesign CS2 and have a strong
working knowledge of JavaScript? Then you're in luck. Since Adobe
Creative Suite 2 was created with built-in support for scripting,
virtually every repetitive or time-consuming task that creative
professionals have to do in InDesign can be streamlined or
automated with the help of a script. This book describes how to
use JavaScript to manipulate and extend Adobe InDesign within
Adobe Creative Suite 2, and provides reference information for the
JavaScript objects, properties, and functions defined by Adobe's
applications, as well as the various utilities and tools that are
part of ExtendScript, Adobe ‘s own implementation of
JavaScript. This scripting reference provides the information you
need to create custom scripts for InDesign, whether you’re
looking to automate your company’s page layout process,
convert large batches of InDesign files to XML, need an easy way
to run a find-and-replace sequence within a large document, or
want to create a script that instantly adds pre-built design
elements to your InDesign page layouts. These are just a few of
the ways that scripting can save you from hours of time-consuming
tasks.
