Hi all,

I wonder is the a way to run a script in InDesign from Automator?

I have automator action that opens indesign document but than i want to run specific script (or keyboard shortcut):

This is what I want to accomplish:

1. Drag and drop indesign document into automator app

2. Open document

3. Run indesign script/or keyboard shortcut

Thanks,

Im not a user of 'Automator' but don't you just need to put a 'do script' inside of the indesign step…

If your Automator Application does not already have an option for handling scripts built into it's code then you will either have to speak the the app's developers and suggest such a feature or you could build your own app using Apple's Xcode & AppleScript. It is most likely that your app is in deployment state which means the developer's code is protected/encrypted.
