Indesign script to run on action?

Hi Mrtreebis

Edit the script below to suit your needs and  put it in the script startup folder.

In particular you need to edit the line app.doScript (line23) and put in the file location of the script you want to run.

Also if you only want the script to run  only with pdf exports then change line 14 to

if (!(/PDF/.test(ev.format)) || myExportEventHandler.pageDone) {

// Place the File in the Start Scripts Folder
// Example Simple eventListener for file exports by Trevor
#targetengine Trevor

function exportImportEventListener(){
    app.eventListeners.itemByName ("page range export").isValid && app.eventListeners.itemByName ("page range export").remove();
    app.addEventListener("beforeExport", myExportEventHandler).name = "page range export";
}


function myExportEventHandler(ev){

    // Stop the event bubbling recursively
    if (myExportEventHandler.pageDone) {
        delete myExportEventHandler.pageDone;
        return
    }
    // Stop the event from happening so we can change it.
    ev.stopPropagation();
    ev.preventDefault ();

    // DO YOUR MAGIC HERE
    app.doScript ('alert("Hi From Trevor")'); // CHANGE THIS LINE

    // Before restarting the event label it as done to prevent recursive problems
    myExportEventHandler.pageDone = true; // should really be called about to be done :-)

    // Restart the event
       fn = ev.fullName;
    app.activeDocument.exportFile (ev.format, ev.fullName, false);
}


exportImportEventListener();

// to remove the eventListener type in the ESTK app.eventListeners.itemByName ("page range export").remove();
