    Hi

    We have one requirement to automate the renditions generation from .indd file.

    Our authors use InDesign tool to create .indd files, we need to automate the process of generating the renditions like html, pdf for that .indd file. I see the InDesign documentation where user can save to other formats like html, pdf and etc from tool.
    If we buy the licence then will we get the SCRIPTs/EXEs used to generate other formats from tool so that we can integrate and generate renditions. Please let me know.

    Thanks

    No you won’t have them by default. It’s up to you to script them but no big deal here. Just look at the indesign scripting forum or the InDesign scripting guides, you will find plenty of samples.

    Hi Loic, I would like to integrate the rendition generation script in my existing java system, I would like to develop the code with Java to convert .indd file to Html, just sharing my thoughts in the following steps, please let me know whether it is right approach.

    1. I Install InDesign server in my windows box which has Corba to take Java API calls
    2. Create Java sample file to convert .indd file to html , pdf etc..
    3. I add all necessary jars
    4. I run the java sample with “java” tool, then the communication happens to InDesign server and HTML will be created for .indd file

    please let me know if my approach is wrong or any other script to be used to integrate with my existing Java system.
