Is it possible to invoke the InDesign.Application.2.0 component as a server-side object without opening an InDesign application user interface window on the server? I want to send my layer text changes via an http post, based on a template InDesign file on the web server, manipulate the text in the text layers, modify width, height, locations etc of the layer(s) based on the length of the updated textcontent... WITHOUT opening up the InDesign U/I. Is this possible with scripting, or do I have to write a c++ plugin? I've investigated Adobe Graphics Server, but once you post your request, you can't check text widths etc and make further modifications before getting the result object back. Help!!

Thanks!
