Trying to write a series of scripts that, bottom line, do the following.

Open existing files > Import existing XML > Data merge from existing txt > save as > export each page as individual pdf per specific settings

I have the save as and the pdf part scripted but can figure out the first three.

I would imagine the simplest way is the launch a menu item using the script rather than re-script it since I want the dialog box so I can choose the right files.

There are multiple ID files that all get the same XML but not all get the same data merge. And it will be a script that is purposed for many versions of this same action. The scripting guide states that you can access menu items but the methods it provides do not work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
