Just saw your followup, and can’t edit my original message for some reason. But feel free to contact me through my site if you have further needs. Glad you were able to figure out how to adapt it for the undergrads. Stay safe!

Brilliant. If you are so inclined and able, please feel free to donate to a charity of your choice focused on Covid-19 relief.

For the kids. This will write all the pages to your desktop. It assumes all the images that you are placing and exporting are jpegs, and that there is one linked item per page. It will export a high quality jpeg as the same name as the linked image name. Note that if the linked images are also on the desktop, it will overwrite them. Copy the text below into a plain text editor, and save it with the .jsx extension, then copy that file to your scripts folder. Run it on your open document.

app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_RANGE;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.HIGH;
var pages = app.activeDocument.pages;
for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
var graphics = pages[i].allGraphics;
for (var j = 0; j < graphics.length; j++) {
if (graphics[j].itemLink.isValid) {
var fileToExport = File(“~/Desktop/” + graphics[j].itemLink.name);
app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = (pages[i].documentOffset + 1).toString();
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, fileToExport, false);
break;
}
}
}

Here’s the dialog built with the handy scriptUI builder: https://scriptui.joonas.me/

Should help you get started.

// DIALOG
// ======
var dialog = new Window(“dialog”);
dialog.text = “TableStyler”;
dialog.orientation = “column”;
dialog.alignChildren = [“left”,”top”];
dialog.spacing = 10;
dialog.margins = 16;

// GROUP1
// ======
var group1 = dialog.add(“group”, undefined, {name: “group1”});
group1.orientation = “column”;
group1.alignChildren = [“left”,”center”];
group1.spacing = 10;
group1.margins = 0;

var radiobutton1 = group1.add(“radiobutton”, undefined, undefined, {name: “radiobutton1”});
radiobutton1.text = “Height”;

var radiobutton2 = group1.add(“radiobutton”, undefined, undefined, {name: “radiobutton2”});
radiobutton2.text = “Width”;

// GROUP2
// ======
var group2 = dialog.add(“group”, undefined, {name: “group2”});
group2.orientation = “row”;
group2.alignChildren = [“left”,”center”];
group2.spacing = 10;
group2.margins = 0;

var edittext1 = group2.add(‘edittext {properties: {name: “edittext1”}}’);
edittext1.text = “Enter the width or height to set”;

// GROUP3
// ======
var group3 = dialog.add(“group”, undefined, {name: “group3”});
group3.orientation = “row”;
group3.alignChildren = [“left”,”center”];
group3.spacing = 10;
group3.margins = 0;

var button1 = group3.add(“button”, undefined, undefined, {name: “button1”});
button1.text = “OK”;

var button2 = group3.add(“button”, undefined, undefined, {name: “button2”});
button2.text = “Cancel”;

dialog.show();

Use the Folder object:

var fol = Folder(“some/path”);
var inddFiles = fol.getFiles(“*.indd”);
for (var i = 0; i < inddFiles.length; i++) {
var doc = app.open(inddFiles[i]);
//do stuff
}

Make sure whatever is inside quotation marks (“b”) on the following line is an actual named Object Style in your document:

var oStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.itemByName(“b”);

An example of the change would be:

var oStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.itemByName(“myNamedStyle”);

I would be happy to develop something for you. Feel free to contact me at brianpifer@gmail.com for a quote.
