Nandini:
Yours Truly Designer ( YTD ) is, of course, the Quark XTension which was originally developed by Indigo Inc. ( now HP/Indigo ) which facilitated variable data streaming to their digital printing presses. I have not worked with Indigo or YTD for a few years now, but when I did, YTD was not scriptable so I used Prefab Player to enact scripted commands. Depending on which level of Mac OS you are using you may want to explore something like that or, if you are using Mac OS X, you will want to look into GUI Scripting as Rob mentioned below.

However, I see that your e-mail domain is hp.com. Couldn't someone in the Indigo division help you with YTD?

Hi,
I am using the application called 'QuarkXPress' on Mac. QuarkXpress
supports apple script. I have an extension software that I use on this
quarkxpress called 'Yours Truly Designer'. Yours Truly Designer adds
as a menu item on the menu bar in QuarkXpress.
Can I use AppleScript on this menu item 'Your Truly Desinger'(YTD)
also? I do not know whether YTD supports AppleScript. How do I find
out?

Regards,
Nandini



Hi Nandini,

I've not heard of the particular extension, so I can't comment on whether or not its AppleScriptable. However, if it's not directly scriptable then I'd suggest that you investigate GUI Scripting.

More info here; http://www.apple.com/applescript/uiscripting/

Hope that's of some help.
