Does anyone know of an Adobe InDesign scripting language reference of any sort?
The only documentation appears to be such items as the Scripting Tutorials and the Scripting Guide, both of which are fairly useful to get started, but what's really needed is a definitive reference volume or at, least, a Help system.
Otherwise, unless the areas you're interested in are mentioned in the Tutorials or Guide, you're pretty well reduced to guessing.
Hi Chris,
there is a book by Gregor Fellenz in German that is reviewed by Marc Autret in English:
https://www.indiscripts.com/post/2015/12/indesign-automatisieren-scripting-bible-in-german
Marc Autret's website is a very useful source of information:
If you want to know how things are organized in a document from the geometric side Marc did this:
https://www.indiscripts.com/post/2018/06/coordinate-spaces-and-transformations-5
Marc said: "Six years! It tooks me six years to document the fundamentals of InDesign “Coordinate Spaces and Transformations.” You may think I am sluggishly slow—which is a sensible diagnosis!—but the topic required a true immersion to be both experimented and covered."
Well, nothing can be more true than that!
Must reads from the same website:

Well, check that all out yourself…
Regards,
Uwe Laubender
