DirectoryMost users of Adobe InDesign ® are unaware of its powerful scripting capabilities.
They may feel they don't have the time and patience to learn Scripting. However, once you become aware of its amazing capabilities, your appreciation of what this powerful tool offers will be enhanced and you will have a greater sense of your own capabilities.
The goal is to help everyday users of InDesign become aware of Scripting and how you can automate production. As the Adobe InDesign Scripting Guide correctly states: 'Scripting reduces the time undertaking repetitive production tasks and frees up time for more creative activities.'
Learning any new skill is a step-by-step process. Mastering a skill enables one to move on the the next. It is not necessary to know everything to make a start.This applies to learning InDesign Scripting.
This introductory tutorial is designed to introduce Adobe InDesign users to some of the basic skills of both Microsoft Visual Basic and Scripting. Working through the tutorial enables you to understand how the process works to empower you to branch out and explore more of this subject.
This is not an InDesign tutorial. Before you attempt any InDesign Scripting it is important you know the process thoroughly within InDesign itself.
