I'm not too familiar with scripting. But is there a way, if I was given a bunch of InDesign files, that I can automatically convert them to PDFs? Some batching method?

Thanks for any advice. I really like InDesign. The system we have now, that someone had set up in the dark ages (apple script), takes Quark4 documents change saves them as ps then another folder takes the ps and distills them.

I really really want to use InDesign. In fact, it would be really nice to come up with a more efficient system than the one above. Have all kinds of errors with that one

Thanks

Mike
