InDesign Version & VB Script
Is it posible that a Script made with VB Script runs with no problems with InDesign CS 5 from CS 5 Master Collection and does not runs with InDesign CS5 from CS 5 Premium. Both computer are running the same OS (Windows 7 x64).
Thx,

We were not able to use the solution of Run this Program as an Administrator, because when you run a program as an adminstrator, you lose the mapped drives on the workstation. We use the mapped drives extensively on our network for our workgroup. For example, drive S:\ is our regular drive for production that goes to the dfs PROD, so we remap S:\ to PROD.NEW when we are testing, and all of our scripts reference the mapped drive letter, so we can use them for testing purposes.
What our IT administrator found was the BEST solution for us as multiple users on a network was to add Modify rights to the user accounts. He logged into the machine as administrator, and did the following:
Open your InDesign application folder and select InDesign.exe.
Select Properties from the context menu.
Go to the SECURITY tab
Under the "Group or user names:" section, select USERS
To change permissions, click the EDIT button
Under the "Permissions for Users", in the row “Modify,” in the column "Allow" check YES to allow users to modify
Click OK
This will do the same thing as the above suggestion (run VBScripts under Windows 7) AND keep the mapped network drives visible for those who use them.

Selecting InDesign version in VB script
I am having some difficulty with selecting the proper version of InDesign in my VB scripts.
Usually I use the connection string: CreateObject("InDesign.Application"), which will launch in whatever version is installed.
Now, one of my customers has installed version 6 along side with version 5.5, which means that I have to supply either: CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS5.5") or CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS6"), in order to get it to run on the proper version.
What I don't understand is why the script doesn't start within the version of InDesign that it is activated from. If I use the connection string: CreateObject("InDesign.Application"), and I start it from within InDesign version 6 (from the script menu), why does it launch version 5.5 and try to run the script there? Why does it not run inside the InDesign application that launched it?
It quickly becomes a mess to have to modify scripts whenever people install new versions of InDesign, so is there any way to ensure that a VB script is always run within the InDesign application that launched it, regardless of what other versions people might have installed?you can use WMI to have a peak at all the ID processes.
here I have both CS4 and CS5 running, hopefully only one version should be running at a time, and we can use the ExecutablePath property to get the version (CS4 for instance) from it.

IDML created with InDesign CC crashes in all InDesign versions

Hi Friends,
I am new to Indesign Scripting by Apple Script. As a beginner, I am trying to do some basic scripting in Indesign by Apple Script.
My aim is to disable the option of "Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%" in Indesign. This option is available when we go to Indesign ---> Preferences----> Appearance of Black.
Also, if a user opens a file, in which the swatch is already enabled, then it should prompt him for disabling.
I can make a display dialog in AppleScript. But, I am bit unsure as how can I go ahead and disable this option. I tried this below script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
tell every layout window to set overprint preview to false
end tell
However, it is changing the view option to overprint preview.
Appreciate your help and suggestions!
Thanks,
Abhishektell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
tell the active document
set overprint black of document preferences to false
end tell
end tell -
Mini Bridge Missing from InDesign CS6 after Upgrade to InDesign Version 8.1
I discussed this same problem https://forums.adobe.com/message/5833991 after upgrading to the prior version 8.0.2 of InDesign.
After upgrading to InDesign Version 8.1, Mini Bridge no longer works. Mini Bridge does not show under the Window menu and shift-clicking the Bridge icon opens the full Bridge, not Mini Bridge.
With the prior version 8.0.2 problem, I was able to recover Mini Bridge by doing a re-install of InDesign under Window's Safe Mode. Microsoft has somehow changed Safe Mode and I can no longer do the reinstall using Safe Mode. I have tried several different ways of reinstalling version 8.1, but none of them correct this problem. Still no Mini Bridge.
Mini Bridge does work in Photoshop CS6 with no problem.
I have read through all of the messages that seem to relate to this problem in this forum, but none of the suggested solutions work for me.
Can anyone provide me with an answer? If not, how do I get help from Adobe? I am willing to pay for support, if necessary.RESOLVED - I can't believe it, but I have actually figured this out.
Getting frustrated with going in circles, I decided to dig into security options. First off, I opened Windows' Properties for the start-up icon for InDesign. Right off, I noticed under the Compatibility tab that InDesign was set to run in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). This did not seem right, so I turned off the option to run in Compatibility Mode and re-started up InDesign. Low and behold, the option Window | Mini Bridge was now displayed! And it worked!
Sorry to have bothered you gentlemen with this problem. I really appreciate your assistance!

How create indesign using Java Script
I am new in indesign and want to create indesign application using JavaScript.
When i use AppleScript to create Indesign Application i use this statement
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
set myDocument to make document with properties
end tell
Indesign Application create sucessfully.
How create Indesign Application using JavaScript ?
or what is equivelent statement of ( tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5" ) in Java Script.
There are some java scripting example given on forum or in sdk.These all example start with app.
when I debug these java script using ExtendScript ToolKit 3.6 It give error on app (undefined app).I think this app ia application object.
How create indesign application object app in javascript ?
While this script run sucessfully when i put these script in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Scripts
and to run these script use Scripts panel (choose Window > Utilities > Scripts), then double-click the script name in the Scripts panel in indesign application.But In this case first i start indesign application and then choose Window > Utilities > Scripts then double-click the script name in the Scripts panel.
I want to create Indesign Application (instance) using JavaScript.When I run or (debug) my JavaScript in any javaScript tool like ExtendScript ToolKit 3.6 then Indesign application should start, like in Apple Script.
ThanksThanks Vamitul for reply
For example when i run SelectObjects.jsx An InDesign CS5.5 JavaScript in ESTK then message prompt "Target Adove Indesign CS5.5 is not running. Do you want to lanch." Then on click yes Indesign application start.
I want to Know how indesign object "app" is created to start Indesign application on click yes.
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/indesign/cs55-docs/In DesignScripting/InDesign-ScriptingTutorial.pdf
Like in VB to create indesign object we use CreateObject("InDesign.Application"). In javascript how create object say "app" of InDesign Application.
For example if i write
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item(0).textFrames.add();
myTextFrame.geometricBounds = ["6p", "6p", "24p", "24p"];
myTextFrame.contents = "Hello World!";
in a simple text file and save it with .js extention and to open this double click on this it give error undefined "app".
Source :Microsoft JScript runtime error
So how define "app" or create indesign object ?
Thanks -

Is Adobe Photoshop and Indesign (version cs3) compatible with "Montain Lion"?
Please answer me, otherwise I'd rather stick to my loyal and "Snow Leopard"Welcome to Apple Communities
It's supported http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os -
Hi,
I need to change the current Indesign (CS3)ImageCatalog script (.jsx) to look a all files and folders on a CD not just a single folder. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks!The way it's supposed to be used is by changing the way you wiev files in Bridge. Disable folders, and you will see all files.
So in Bridge choose the CD*/Folder that contains the images/folders with images you wish to use, in the Filter Panel, click on the Folder symbol, this will show all files in all folders below the containing folder.
Selecting no files, and just running the Indesign Contact Sheet script will then use all the files.
*(Actually you should properbly copy the files to your desktop)
That should do the trick. -
Need to keep CS6 CC InDesign version
I need to keep the CC CS6 InDesign Version. How do I do this?
I suggest you explain your question in a little more detail. There are several ways your short question could be interpreted. Some examples:
A. You are a current CC subscriber and plan to continue being one but you want to know if you can "freeze" your InDesign version for some period of time (in other words, not automatically accept version changes but continue to pay for access to the software).
B. You are a current CC subscriber to the whole CC bundle and you would like to start paying ONLY for InDesign.
C. You are a current CC subscriber to some CC plan that includes InDesign but you don't want to pay for CC anymore. You want to know if you can continue to use InDesign without continuing to pay.
D. English is not your primary language and you just want to know how to find the version number of the InDesign you are using. -
How to check indesign version installed by Apple Script
Hi Friends,
I want to make an apple script which will check for the version of Indesign installed in the "Applications" folder.
I tried using "exists" function of Finder. But seems something is missing/incorrect.
tell application "Finder"
exists application file "Adobe InDesign CS4" of folder "Applications"
end tell
Please can you suggest.
Thanks,
AbhishekHi Niel,
Thanks for your email.
Basically, I need to check whether a user has which version of Indesign on his mac like (CS3, CS4 etc)
Accordingly, I have to create different loops.
I have CS4 installed on my mac but when I run the below
tell application "Finder"
exists version of application file "Adobe InDesign CS4" of folder "Applications" of startup disk
end tell
The result is false.. even though I have CS4 installed. And, if I try
get version of application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
It gives o/p as "6.0.6.622"
Thanks for your help!

Hi All,
I am having Indesign CS5 and CS6 in my machine, i want to run JS in CS5, how do i target the version
can any one help me on this...
my code:
#target indesign;
Thanks,
David@David – See page 235 of "Java Script Tools Guide CS5.pdf" for details on #target and details on "namespace" for the individual application see page 191 ("Application and namespace specifiers"):
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/indesign/pdfs/JavaS criptToolsGuide_CS5.pdf
So:
#target indesign-7.0
should target CS5
#target indesign-7.5
should target CS5.5
#target indesign-8.0
should target CS6
However I had no luck with an added locale to the version name out of the ESTK:
#target indesign-7.5-de_de
//Some alert:
alert(app.version);
should address a German InDesign CS6 but yielded an error:
"indesign-7.5-de_de is undefined"
The following would work, but I cannot test against a second (e.g. international) version installed:
#target indesign-7.5 de_de
//Some alert:
alert(app.version);
However, if you double click on a script in the Scripts Panel and you are using no #target direction the targetted app should automatically be the app where the Scripts Panel belongs to.

By script you can do this like so:
var myPath = "~/Desktop/MySettings.csf";
var myFile = new File (myPath);
if (myFile.exists) {
app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = myFile;
else {
alert("File \""+ myPath + "\" can't be found."); -

Is is possible to open indesign from a script?
Is there any way to open indesign from within a script, or does the application already need to be running before a script can access it?
Thanks in advance.

http://www.jcfx.euIn Applescript, when you compile the code, the app must be running. If it's not, then it will start.
When you run the script, InD doesn't have to be started first. You could have some Finder actions happen, then InD starts at the needed time when it's actions occur. You can have an if/then statement that only requests InD to do an action only if other circumstances are met. You do not even need to tell application InD to launch, just the first tell app statement will do it.
I do not know how things work in Javasc or VB.
