InDesign Scripting Forum Roundup #6
June 19, 2014 | Snippets | en
Just by chance, the new episode of our ISFR series focuses on two topics often considered the most complex in InDesign scripting: page coordinates on the one hand, tables and cells on the other. Here are some enlightening discussions in these areas…

For a few days the beta version of Wordalizer 1.5 for InDesign CS4/CS5/CS6/CC was downloadable for free. This offer is now obsolete.
ExtendScript Core Entities Diagram
Exploring the prototypal relationships between basic ExtendScript's entities reveals an interesting network of hidden objects. The following diagram shows that ExtendScript's own implementation of JavaScript is deeply connected with a root function (referred to as [[Function]] in the figure) which provides the actual prototype—that is, the __proto__ property—of many visible objects, including Function and Object themselves…

January 30, 2014 | Extras | en | fr
A lot of users and customers are anxiously awaiting updates of BookBarcode, IndexMatic, and other Indiscripts' tools that still refuse to properly work in InDesign CC. “Why does it take so long to have my favorite script running in my new environment?”, they ask…
Getting Started with IndyFont Pro
January 14, 2014 | IndyFont | en | fr
Our friend Mike Rankin (editor in chief of CreativePro.com and InDesign Mag) has recently released a rich Font Management Essential Training course at Lynda.com. Among many topics (TrueType vs. PostScript vs. OpenType; using web fonts; installing, activating and deactivating fonts; using Mac Font Book or Suitcase Fusion; identifying fonts…) Mike discusses creating fonts in InDesign. His screencast is an excellent introduction to IndyFont and, the icing on the cake, Lynda's team has agreed to offer free access to it. Thanks to them all :)
InDesign Scripting Forum Roundup #5
December 12, 2013 | Snippets | en
As pointed out by Davide Barranca in his recent Open Letter to (Adobe) Devs scripting resources appear very sparse on the Internet. At some level, this ISFR series is an attempt to keep interesting codes, snippets, and knowledge visible to InDesign scripters, from various discussions I have participated in during the last months. Let's get to the heart of the matter…
IndyFont | Fabriquer un faux italique en 7 mn chrono !
November 25, 2013 | IndyFont | fr
IndyFont peut transformer en police OpenType tout ce qui est « vectoriellement valide » dans InDesign. Ainsi, étant donné un échantilonnage de glyphes issus d'une police de caractères offrant seulement le style romain, rien n'est plus facile que de transformer ces glyphes par inclinaison puis d'exporter le jeu résultant comme une nouvelle police de caractères. À titre d'exemple, voyons comment générer une déclinaison oblique de la police Impact LT…
StyLighter 1.4 for InDesign CS4/CS5/CS6/CC
November 22, 2013 | StyLighter | en | fr
Seeing is believing! StyLighter 1.4 is out and should now support InDesign CC on both Mac and Windows platforms. As already explained here this script is entirely based on a 'deep hook,' it takes advantage of an aborted functionality which Adobe has never even officially mentioned. But that great hidden feature is somewhat fossilized in the bowels of InDesign and still seems to work fine in CC (albeit with some limitations). Thanks to this, StyLighter allows you to easily visualize how paragraph and character styles are applied in your document.
The ‘Collect Everything’ Trick

Given an InDesign document, how to exhaustively collect every persistent object it embeds in a single pass? The following snippet solves the problem in the blink of an eye…
IndexMatic² | Frequently Asked Questions [UPDATE]
August 29, 2013 | IndexMatic² | en | fr
IndexMatic² is without doubt one of the most advanced word indexing scripts ever available to publishers, authors, book designers who use InDesign (CS3, CS4, and CS5+). There are many ways to configure, refine and handle its features. Users gradually discover that what they thought was impossible is, in fact, definitely within scope of the product. The purpose of this page is to boost your learning curve through concrete Q&A.
FontMixer | Extend Typefaces in InDesign CS5/CS6/CC
July 15, 2013 | FontMixer | en | fr
So you have discovered a beautiful typeface that you want to leverage for your layout. Unfortunately some accented characters, diacritics, or needed symbols are missing. Thanks to IndyFont you can easily create a complementary font that will provide those missing glyphs. Then, as an experienced InDesign user, you'll probably be tempted to manage the whole character set through GREP styles. FontMixer offers a very cool alternative based on a secret feature available in InDesign CS5 and later…
‘Sprite’ Buttons in ScriptUI [UPDATE]
July 05, 2013 | Tips | en
A sprite usually refers to a primary image which is integrated in a larger scene. The term was popularized by Dave Shea in his 2004 article “CSS Sprites: Image Slicing’s Kiss of Death” which describes how to render the multiple states of a button or icon from a single composite image. I discovered that we can derive this technique to create attractive buttons in ScriptUI 4.0 and later…
