Need script to run multiple scripts using InDesign …

gamouning · 2017-05-12T09:59:25-07:00

Hi, Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to execute multiple scripts? For example, I need to run the kern.jsx script and then run a custom Find Change GREP script. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Greg

  Hi, I think I heard something long back, but I don’t remember exactly. However, if you’re on a MAC OS, then you can use the Automator to run multiple Scripts in one go.
  
  Go to Automator >> Utilities >> Run AppleScript/Run JavaScript…
  You can drag as much actions to create your own workflow.
  
  Secondly, there is a title on Lynda, NPM Tutorials…

  again, I’m not sure, if this is going to help you.
