Hi, A quick idea ...
var w = new Window('dialog',"Resize Table Columns",undefined);
buildWindow ();
w.show ();
function buildWindow () {
var cbGrp, btnGrp, btn, i,cbNbr,cbValue;
// Properties for cbGrp
cbGrp = w.add ('group',undefined);
cbGrp.alignChildren = ['fill',' '];
cbGrp.orientation = "row";
cbNbr = 15;
cbValue=[];
for (i = 1; i <= cbNbr; i += 1) {
cbGrp["grp" + i] = cbGrp.add ("group", undefined, {name: "grp" + i});
cbGrp["grp" + i].orientation = "column";
cbGrp["grp" + i].spacing = 4;
cbGrp["grp" + i].addEventListener ("click", toggleCb, true);
cbGrp["grp" + i]["cb" + i] = cbGrp["grp" + i].add ("checkbox", undefined, undefined);
cbGrp["grp" + i]["lb" + i] = cbGrp["grp" + i].add ("statictext", undefined, i);
}
// Add the OK/Cancel buttons.
btnGrp = w.add ('group', undefined);
btn = btnGrp.add ("button",undefined,'OK',{name:"ok"});
btn.onClick = validate;
btn = btnGrp.add ("button",undefined,'Cance',{name:"cancel"});
function validate () {
// array with cb value
for (i= 1; i < cbNbr; i+= 1) {
cbValue.push(cbGrp["grp" + i]["cb" + i].value);
}
alert(cbValue)
}
function toggleCb (e) {
var cb;
if (e.target.type === "group") {
cb = e.target.children[0];
cb.value = !cb.value;

Hi, I hope this code can answer your request 😉
d = app.activeDocument;
preset1 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Hubcast Ready-Press Quality");
preset2 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Web-Ready (JPEG High 200dpi - No Color Conversion)");
if (!(preset1.isValid && preset2.isValid)){
alert("One of the presets does not exist. Please check spelling carefully.");
exit();
}
mDocName = d.name.substr (0, d.name.lastIndexOf('.'));
mSourcePath = d.fullName.parent.toString();
mRootPath =mSourcePath.substr (0, mSourcePath.lastIndexOf('/'));
mTargetPath=mRootPath.concat('/final/');
mNamePrint = mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,'_PRINT.pdf');
mNameWeb= mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,'_WEB.pdf');
if (!d.saved){
d.save;
}
d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNamePrint), false, preset1);
d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNameWeb), false, preset2);

Hi, 1. what is 60000 ? When you add minutes in a date object, the unit used is milliseconds. 2. If possible, please explain the code
// create date system
var sysDate = new Date();
// create UTC date
/*
getTimezoneOffset() returns the difference in minutes between the computer's local time and UTC.
*/
var utcDate = new Date(sysDate.getTime() + sysDate.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);
// create IST date
/*
Indian Standard Time (IST) is the time observed throughout India and Sri Lanka, with a time offset of UTC+05:30.
*/
var istDate = new Date(utcDate.getTime() + ((5.5*60)) * 60000);
alert('\n System : ' + systemDate + '\n UTC : ' + utcDate + '\n IST : ' + istDat

Hi, A quick translation in JS...
with (app.clipboardPreferences){
pasteRemembersLayers =true;
}
var docTarget = app.documents.itemByName('Test_English.indd');
var docSource = app.documents.itemByName('Test_Spanish.indd');
if (docSource.isValid && docTarget.isValid){
var numSpreads = docSource.spreads.length;
for ( var i = 0; i < numSpreads; i++ ) {
app.activeDocument=docSource;
app.activeWindow.activeSpread = app.activeDocument.spreads;
app.select(app.activeDocument.spreads.allPageItems);
if (app.selection.length >0){
app.copy();
app.activeDocument=docTarget;
if (app.activeDocument.spreads.isValid){
app.activeWindow.activeSpread = app.activeDocument.spreads;
app.pasteInPlace();
}
}
}
}
Hope this helps Regards

Hi, Here's an example of what we can do with a regular expression
var myPath ='/Users/Shared/Siraj/98456357_Octt/Document/Check/PHL.indd';
var mJobNumber;
var reg = /(\/)([0-9]{8})(_)/;
if (myPath.match(reg)){
mJobNumber = RegExp.$2;
alert(mJobNumber)
}

Hello Bo, Add "#targetengine "session" at the beginning of your script ...
#targetengine "session"; // not needed in Illustrator/AfterEffects
var myWindow = new Window ("palette");
var myMessage = myWindow.add ("statictext");
myMessage.text = "Hello, world!";
myWindow.show ( );

var mScript = "/~/Desktop/zip.scpt";
var mResult = app.doScript(mScript,ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage,file);
return mResult
}
zip.scpt
set myFile to item 1 of arguments
try
set mZip to do shell script "zip -r archive_name.zip " & quoted form of POSIX path of myFile
on error errStr number errorNumber
set mZip to 0
