Any way to sync zoom, viewpoint, page selected across multiple docs?

I'm currently studying the SDK.

// Get front layout view.
InterfacePtr<IControlView> iControlView_frontView(Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->QueryFrontView());
if (iControlView_frontView == nil) return;

// Get front document.
IDocument* iDocument_frontDocument = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument();
if (iDocument_frontDocument == nil) return;

// Get IPanorama.
// Panorama handles the control of content position, scale, and scrolling within the view's display area.
InterfacePtr<IPanorama> iPanorama_frontView(iControlView_frontView, UseDefaultIID());
if (iPanorama_frontView == nil) return;

// Get the content-corrdinate location currently positioned at the top-left corner of the frame.
PMPoint frontView_topLeft = iPanorama_frontView->GetContentLocationAtFrameOrigin();

// Get scale factor.
PMReal xScale = iPanorama_frontView->GetXScaleFactor();
PMReal yScale = iPanorama_frontView->GetYScaleFactor();

// Get application interface.
// GetExecutionContextSession() returns a pointer to the ISession interface aggregated in the kSessionBoss.
InterfacePtr<IApplication> iApplication(GetExecutionContextSession()->QueryApplication());

// Get IDocumentList.
InterfacePtr<IDocumentList> iDocumentList(iApplication->QueryDocumentList());

for (int32 i = 0; i < iDocumentList->GetDocCount(); i++) {

	// Get IDocument.
	IDocument* iDocument = iDocumentList->GetNthDoc(i);
	if (iDocument_frontDocument == iDocument) continue;

	// Get IPresentationList.
	// Each document knows the windows that are open on it by means of the IPresentationList interface on kDocBoss.
	InterfacePtr<IPresentationList> iPresentationList(iDocument, UseDefaultIID());
	if (iPresentationList->size() == 0) continue;

	// Iterate through an IPresentationList.
	for (IPresentationList::iterator iter = iPresentationList->begin(); iter != iPresentationList->end(); ++iter) {
		if (*iter == nil) continue;

		// Galley or Story view
		if (Utils<IGalleyUtils>() && Utils<IGalleyUtils>()->InGalleyOrStory(*iter)) continue;

		// Get IPanelControlData.
		InterfacePtr<IPanelControlData> iPanelControlData(*iter, ::UseDefaultIID());
		if (iPanelControlData == nil) continue;

		// Get IControlView.
		// kLayoutWidgetBoss is a BOSS representing a layout view.
		IControlView* iControlView_layoutView = iPanelControlData->FindWidget(kLayoutWidgetBoss);
		if (iControlView_layoutView == nil) continue;

		// Get IPanorama.
		InterfacePtr<IPanorama> iPanorama_layoutView(iControlView_layoutView, UseDefaultIID());
		if (iPanorama_layoutView == nil) break;

		// Replace the current scale factors with new values.
		iPanorama_layoutView->ScalePanorama(xScale, yScale);

		// Scroll so that a given content-coordinate point ends up at the top-left corner of the view.
		iPanorama_layoutView->ScrollContentLocationToFrameOrigin(frontView_topLeft);

		// Completed.
		break;
	}
}

Next step: Make it scriptable.

Hi @MrZZY this is something I have always wanted to do! Unfortunately, unlike Illustrator, we can't control the positioning of the viewport in Indesign. At least not directly.

However, a while back I came up with an approach which—while not ideal—is still very useful (to me at least).

See my Synchronize All Documents Text Selection script on my github repo. I use this frequently when I have multiple documents that all have matching "bones" eg. each document has the same basic subheads. To use it, select one of those matching subheadings and run the script.

Let me know if it helps in your situation.
