Scripting to embed Preflight

[steveg78558378]

Hi - does anyone know of it's possible to embed a pdf preflight profile to all documents contained within a book, simulaneously (if so is there a javascript available)?

You can embed an InDesign profile—the document has an embed() method:

//embeds a preflight profile named "Transparency"
app.activeDocument.embed("Transparency")

See my script for iterating through book documents and using Rob's code.

Brian, thanks for the guidance. I currently use a script for processing book documents written by Kaysan Servetsky. I'll see if I can work it out.

Thanks Rob, I'm not very experienced with scripting, but have managed to edit existing ones in the past. I like to learn so will endeavor to use your advice

Thanks Rob - finally had opportunity to run the script (as part of a 'book' Batch processing script) - does exactly what I needed!
