Reply To: PDF export problems with CS5

Just copy and paste the code into a text document and save it as ExportPDF_Foreground.jsx and then put the .jsx-file in the scripts folder in InDesign.

To access the script you need to pull up the Scripts panel and then just click the script to run it.

Hi vickyvaughn!

The script in NOT an Apple Script. it is the Adobe flavour of JavaScript called ExtendScript. The file ending is “.jsx”.

Just do like ElTee already said. The script is plain text, so copy it to TextEdit. Make sure that you press cmd+shift+t to get plain text. Save it with the name “ExportPDF_in_Foreground_CS5.jsx” even if TextEdit will recommend a .txt suffix. To use the script copy the file to the folder “Scripts Panel” which resides in “applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/Scripts”. Now it should show in the InDesign Scripts panel.
