Script dictionary (PDF) (CS2)
A list with the methods, properties and enumerations available in CS2. Properties, methods, and enumerations introduced in CS2 are highlighted.
Script dictionary (PDF) (CS3)
As above, for CS3.
Script launcher (CS2/3)
The easy way to run a script: a script launcher with a configurable history list. Much more convenient than InDesign's script palette. It's the script I use most often, naturally -- couldn't live without it. (Rewritten June 2008)
Batch-convert/export files (CS2/3)
Export documents by the folder to PDF, EPS, INX, RTF or convert large numbers of documents to a newer InDesign format.
Batch-convert/export files (CS3)
Idem: export documents by the folder or convert large numbers of documents to a newer InDesign format. This version is CS3 only.
Export book documents individually (CS3)
"Export book to PDF" in the book panel's flyout always creates a single PDF file. The script exports all documents in a book to separate PDFs.
Kerning (CS3)
InDesign doesn't let you modify kerning tables, but with this script you can apply your own kerning tables.
Enter/create accented characters (CS2/3)
Enter accented characters using easy-to-remember keystrokes; combine letters and accents; enter characters by their Unicode value.
Type polytonic Greek (CS2/3)
Enter mono- and polytonic Greek letters using mnemonic keys.
Enter phonetic characters easily (CS2/3)
A variant of the two above scripts lets you enter phonetic characters easily.
Adjust space between footnotes and text (CS2/3)
InDesign lets you set the minimum space between text and footnotes on a document basis only. The script enables you to set that space per page.
Add a page while typing (CS2/3)
Add a page at the end of the document in which you're typing.
Show/set text variables (CS3)
Display the names and values of custom text variables in a document; change them easily and create new variables conveniently.
Bookmark (Quickmark) (CS2/3)
Leave a bookmark at the cursor position, go somewhere else in your document, and fly back to your bookmark later.
Language-aware paragraph sorting (CS3)
Sort paragraph (or lines) according to the sort rules of the document's language. Formatting remains intact.
Sort tables (CS2/3)
Sort a table on the selected column. Formatting is preserved.
Align objects (CS2)
InDesign's options for aligning objects are limited. The script expands these.
Delete links to tagged text files (CS2/3)
InDesign 3 (CS) and earlier always create a link when you place tagged-text files. You can delete with the script.
