Reply To: Adding js action to exported PDF through indesign?

Unfortunately, there isn’t any simple way to do this with InDesign scripting. The InDesign scripting DOM doesn’t “talk” to the scripting capability of Acrobat, so there isn’t an easy way to pull this off.

I think this is a good example of how even though both InDesign and Acrobat are from the same company (Adobe) and both a part of Creative Cloud, they are developed by completely separate teams in separate business units. Someday I’m going to go to Adobe and create a lunchtime 3-on-3 basketball tournament or something to get the teams talking to each other! (I know it isn’t this easy…the teams are in separate cities…separate countries even, with their own agendas and goals). But we are so close to being able to do some cool things that I fear will never see the light of day.
