Here is a script I use to set my preference for appearance of black. It runs from the startup.

#targetengine "session"
app.scriptPreferences.version = 5.0; 
main();
function main(){
    var myEventListener = app.addEventListener("afterOpen", opaqueBlack, false);

}
///////////////////////////////////////////////
function opaqueBlack(myEvent){
    //var myDocument = myEvent.parent;
    var myDocument=app.documents[0];
myDocument.documentPreferences.overprintBlack= false;

}

Hi

Thanks for your code.

But I like code below model.

myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;

myDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;

Thanks

Hi Ashram,

Try this.

app.autoCorrectPreferences.autoCorrect = true;

app.activeDocument.gridPreferences.baselineColor = [20,20,20];

Hi,
is it possible to change default dark green indesign  preferences - composition - custom tracking/kerning?

Thanks

[Peter Kahrel]

No, that's not possible.

This has been asked, and answered, before: Indesign Preferences

as well as InDesign Preference Settings (which, despite its shown status, is answered).
