<pre> < for the HTML folks
I'm trying to automatically export a newspaper laid out in InDesign.
I'm very new to Applescript (being more of a web person than a indesign
person).
I've tried two approaches, one like:
set argvd to {":Volumes:Thor:AAA voice:2008 VOICES:03 March 2008:layout_mar08: done:10_sin_mar08.indd", 2, 3}
repeat with xx in argvd
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
activate
set myDocument to open file (xx as string)
display dialog (xx as string) & " now working."
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "InDesign"
set frontmost to true
-- click menu item "Show All Menu Items" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
click menu item "XHTML / Dreamweaver..." of menu "Cross-media Export" of menu item "Cross-media Export" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 5
click button 1 of sheet 1 of window "Save As"
delay 5
display dialog "Now here."
end tell
end tell
end repeat
If I run that as is, the click button 1 of sheet 1 of windows "Save
AS" errors out (for various likely looking things involving sheet and
not involving sheet). If I comment it out, the script runs with no
error, but doesn't export anything to XHTML.
My other approach is
repeat with xx in argvd
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
activate
display dialog (xx as string) & " now working."
set myDocument to open file (xx as string)
select menu item "XHTML / Dreamweaver..." of submenu "Cross-media Export" of submenu "File" of menu 1
end tell
end repeat
This brings up the export window, and lets me click on it, but the
applescript doesn't seem to return to the script until after I click
or it times out, so the amateurish things I tried to click on the "OK"
button don't even run.
Thanks for any help, advice, or pointers to the FM.
