Question

JS InDesign: download and embed image

Hi,

I need my script to palce an eps file into myLogoFrame from my desktop. This what I was able to find in OMV:


myLogoFile.itemLink  = desktop.myFolder("MyLogo.eps");

myLogoFile.place ("ND MastHead.eps", true, embed) = myLogoFrame;


I need the file to be placed into specific frame and I need to be able to specify the full path name of the source file, and then embed the file into InDesign.


I realize that this is might not even be on the right track, I am not sure where to look for more information.

Your help is highly appreciate.

Yulia

This is one way to do it:

myFile = File (Folder.desktop + "/MyLogo.eps");
if (myFile.exists)
  {
  myLinkArray = myLogoFrame.place (myFile);
  myLinkArray[0].itemLink.unlink();
  }
