Hi Dave
The idea is filter the files "*.indd" of the folder "Users/INDD" and then insert them in the book "BookINDD.indb". This script must be executed on InDesignServer. When I executed it, I get the error // ERROR:Process aborted by user, in the next line of the script: myBook.bookContents.add( myFiles[i] );
I write de script again:
//DESCRIPTION: Create a book and add indd-files of a choosen folder
var path = "//Users/INDD";
var bookname= "BookINDD";
var myFolder = new Folder(path);
if( myFolder != null ){
// get indd-files of choosen folder
var myFiles=myFolder.getFiles( "*.indd" );
if ( myFiles.length > 0 ){
var myBookFileName = myFolder + "/"+ bookname + ".indb";
var myBookFile = new File( myBookFileName );
//the book file exists
if(myBookFile.exists){
var myBook=app.open( myBookFile );
myBook.automaticPagination=true;
}else{
//the book file doesn't exist, so make a new one
var myBook=app.books.add( myBookFile );
myBook.automaticPagination=true;
}
//add indd-files to a book
for ( i=0; i < myFiles.length; i++ ){ myBook.bookContents.add( myFiles[i] ); // ERROR:Process aborted by user } myBook.save( ); } }
Thanks in advance
