I develop textbooks that have margin icons that include descriptive text. There are “Key Concept” icons, “Discuss” icons, and a few others. Right now, it’s a manual process to place the correct icons in the margins and enter the unique text for each. I’m wondering if we could make this more automated by having our instructional designers enter the icon info as footnotes in a Word document and running a script when we import into InDesign that places the correct icon and the indicated text.

Basically, the script would run like the one listed above, but also place one of several graphics (which includes a clear box) overtop the side note. (Even if it’s not possible, this script could save us a lot of time.). Hi, I wonder if you could help me. I have to create certificates (lots of), which need to saved as individual PDFs with e-mail address as titles. On each page of the document there is an e-mail style.

I’m trying to create a scripts as follows: (Indesign – 1st page of the document) find style “e-mail” –>copy all text in that box –>export page as pfd –>paste e-mail text on the title bar –>save document (as “XXX”.pdf) –>go to next page (1+1) –>repeat the previous –>and so on, till the end of the document. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Juha Sorsa.

Lemonshrew, that is great! Applescript is a brilliant scripting language, and as far as I know its powers equal or exceed Javascript (to say nothing of the other one whose name we cannot mention because Bill Gates is Satan). Although Applescript looks absolutely incomprehensible to me now, it was an incredibly helpful way of getting into scripting when I first started out (in a lazy way, about 2 years ago).
