I have two script. one for indesign and another for photoshop. how can i merge both scripts?

Question

hi all,
i have one script for indd which convert a user selected table as JPG (1276 px width, height varies). Second photoshop script which ask user to select jpg file and then check if pixel height is less than 1018 pixel, then it enlarge canvas size(height) to 1018 px.
how can i combine both script, any tip or how to start would be helpful? The workflow should be:
user select the table in indd document
table export as jpg
script will ask to select table jpg file or if it can be automated too that would be good.
enlarge canvas height to 1018 px
thanks

PS: i already read the Java scirpt tool guide pdf but unable to understood

Hi,
I see two possible approaches here. The most logical would be to use a BridgeTalk Object that let you execute another app js code inside yoru primary app. In your case, you start your script from within InDesign and at some point the Photoshop specific script is executed thanks to the BridgeTalk Object.
Other option is to use either AppleScrip or VB to execute the codes while targeting the specific app.
Eventually, you may have your PS code in some external file and call $.evalFile when of course the file has a target instuction as Peter exposed.
Once again, I think what you need is BridgeTalk.
FWIW,
Loic
