Hide "Show All Menu Items"

[Mahesh_JW]

Hi All,

We have to hide few menu options in InDesign(example. Export PDF, Print etc), when I use the Menu option and hide the options like example below.

Edit->Menus..

         

But in InDesign CC2015 after hiding it shows the new menu item called "Show All Menu Items"

         

It activate all the hidden features once I click this option.

Kindly advise how to hide the menus.

Thanks in advance,

Mahesh

I really hate some of the InDesign menu options.

So, when I want to hide/remove them, I use this little javascript code:

app.menus[0].menuElements[0].menuItems.itemByID(###).remove();

Where ### is the ID number for the menu you want to remove.

PS: To restore the removed menus, I suggest to remove all the InDesign

preferences.

To discover the menuItem ID I use the excelent Peter Kharel's script (
