Hello Karen, thank you for answer. I think I can script my way through now as far as InDesign is concerned. Despite the fact that we almost never use Quark anymore, I think it's still a good idea to include Quark export in my script as well (just for the cases I need it). I did a lot of InDesign scripting (automatic lay-out with Woodwing plugin and xml), but I never scripted a sigle line for Quark. Do you mind sending me (part of) your script concerning Quark PDF Export? I also wonder about the scriptability of Illustrator as far as PDF Export is concerned. The fourth application we use is Freehand (unfortunately discontinued; we used it for almost 20 years ever since version 2.0). My final goal is to create a script that guides operators through the process of creating a certtified PDF by asking then a few simple questions. Questions I ask them are for example: 1) Lores or Hires PDF? 2) Advertisement yes or no? 3) Papertype 1,2,3,4 or 5 3) Sheet offset or Rotation (web) offset. 4) Spotcolors in use yes or no? Kind regards, Bertus.
