Peter Kahrel is one of the most prolific and influential InDesign scripters of all time. He wrote the book on InDesign scripting. Over the years, he has created and published more than one hundred powerful InDesign scripts and made them available for free.
It’s almost impossible to overstate how valuable these scripts can be for someone who works in complex long documents in InDesign. They can save you many hours of tedious work with tables, books, footnotes, indexes, lists, and more.
When Peter decided to shut down his personal website, we were incredibly grateful for the opportunity to host this amazing collection. Until recently, however, the webpages where you could access the scripts didn’t look and feel like the rest of the CreativePro site.
That problem has been addressed, and Peter’s script repository now has a fitting home. We didn’t just make things pretty; it’s easier than ever to access and explore the scripts.
You can start at the top, with the Script Repository landing page.
Or, check out the Script Index, which lists all the scripts alphabetically.
You can also browse scripts by topic.
There are instructions on installing and running scripts, and modifying scripts to suit your needs.
And don’t miss the collection of Peter’s recommended links and resources for learning InDesign scripting and GREP.
Maybe the best news of all is that Peter continues to be active in maintaining the repository, keeping things up to date and running for us all to enjoy.
On behalf of all InDesign users, thank you, Peter! We at CreativePro are so proud to give these incredible resources the home they deserve.
