I'm after a batch conversion of Indd-documents, with no user interaction. Tried the idea with using "export document", Applescript: tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" activate export document 1 format "EPS" to "OSX:Users:Common:Desktop:Conversion:EPS_TEST.EPS" with showing options end tell tell application "System Events" tell application process "InDesign 2.0.2" tell window "Export" delay 5 if the value of check box "Spreads" is 0 then click check box "Spreads" end if tell tab group 1 tell radio button 2 click end tell end tell click radio button 1 -- "Ranges:" tell pop up button 5 -- Postscript click tell menu 1 if the name of every menu item contains "Level 2" then click menu item "Level 2" end if end tell end tell click button "Export" end tell end tell end tell There is no responce at all from Indesign with this script, or similar scripts that tries to control the interface of Indesign via System Events. After a timeout, the first export call envokes an time out error. :( thomas
