This is an AppleScript for exporting all open documents in diffent formats. Like:
- "PDF-Export" -- export as *.pdf
- "IDML-Export" -- export as *.idml
After executing the script in InDesign you'll be presented with a "function" dialog. This is where you can choose from one of the functions above. After that it depends on the function you chose. You can enter page ranges like "1-5,7-12" or "1,3,5,7,9" or just leave it "all pages".
The files are exported to the same directory as the *.indd files withe same name.
Use my scripts at your own risk! I am not responsible for any damages to your InDesign Documents!
With my Repositories I just want to give the world back what I have got from others who share their code –
usable, productive AppleScripts!
Want to contribute? Great! You sure know what to do, I am new to Github so I don't know if I am doing this right :)
Normally, in InDesign, I use the *.scpt format because it it precompiled but at the same time contains the code and is viewable via QuickLook.
I'm also commiting an *.applescript file, just because it it readable (If you just want to take a look) on github and the precompiled is not.
Both types are usually commited together – always – if not, then it wasn't necessary.
At the moment the script is mixed, english and german. with the documentation beeing mostly in english but most strings are in german.
As far as I researched it is not trivial to localize AppleScripts. We (the studio I work in) use these scripts
My scripts should work in a variety of InDesign Versions which is wy I use the Application ID instead of the name.
But they should definitly work in the latest InDesign Version. We update our Adobe apps as soon as a new version comes out.
Put the file in the application folder "Adobe InDesign CSx" > "Scripts" > "Scripts Panel"
open InDesign and some documents and start the script from the "Scripts Panel"
