InDesign is now regarded as the industry standard in desktop
publishing and is very widely used by publishing professionals and
non-specialists alike. Many users have a pressing need for
automation of their workflows but have been reluctant to get
started because of the lack of a simple internal mechanism for
recording steps, like Photoshop and Illustrator actions. Instead
InDesign relies on scripting which, for many InDesign users, may
seem a little too much like hard work. In fact, InDesign comes with
all the tools necessary for creating scripts and scripting is not
that difficult-it can even be fun! This book is aimed at the
general user and provides an introduction to scripting InDesign,
using JavaScript to create simple cross-platform solutions. It also
gives a general introduction to XML, DTDs and XSLT, before showing
how to automate the importing and exporting of XML data. Learn
proactively through step-by-step tutorials on creating JavaScript
solutions: the Try it for yourself! approach allows you to see for
yourself how scripts are put together. Create scripts that
manipulate text and images, build documents automatically and
output them as interactive PDFs. Become familiar with the InDesign
object model: as you work through the book, you will make repeated
use of the essential syntax for manipulating InDesign objects such
as document, pages, text frames, graphics and preferences. Create
user interfaces to make your scripts more flexible and
user-friendly. Rather than just creating scripts which always
perform the same steps, you will learn to user ScriptUI to provide
users with the ability to make choices that determine what the
script will do. Learn how to automate XML import and export and
provide an interface which allows the user to filter import by
supplying parameter values. Please note that the work files for
