      Hi all,

      I had created 12 scripts for different tasks in ID. I need to run them in sequence. Is it possible to call the scripts in sequence, from a wrapper script?

      How to write a wrapper script which can in turn call many different scripts.

      I am using Windows 10 with ID cs6. My scripts are Java scripts.

      Thank you in advance.

      Hi,

      you can use the include-command.

      #include “yourScript.jsx”;

      The scripts must be in the same place as your main script.

      I’ve had good luck with this one by Kasyan: https://www.kasyan.ho.com.ua/batch_process_scripts/batch_process_scripts.html

      Hi Bob….
      Kasyan’s script has opened up a lot of possibilities for me. Thank you very much for the pointer.

      I have more than 500 ID files on which I have to run a set of scripts and then export them individually to .rtf format. Now I can automate the scripts. Is it possible for me the process of exporting also?

      My doubt is because, white exporting I need to give the name of the rtf file manually. Is there any way how the system can take the name of the ID file itself as the name of rtf too?

      Thanks a ton.

      @Peter, your script works very well and I use it more often, when I have to export a number of PDFs. Is it possible somehow to batch convert both IDML and PDF in one go. Currently I export PDFs and then IDMLs.
