Sorry for adding to an old thread, but I needed this either, and transformed it to ExendScript, which will work on Mac and Windows:

if( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
    var theWindow = app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0],
        theZoom = theWindow.zoomPercentage;
    theWindow.zoom(ZoomOptions.SHOW_PASTEBOARD);
    theWindow.zoomPercentage = theZoom;
}

I understand that very good. It would be great to have a good resource/article, that exactly describes how to work with VSCode and ExtendScript efficiently for simpler scripting (one script with few options) and complex scripting (big scripts with many options or maybe even scripts, that are built of multiple modular script files etc.).

Furthermore there is a gap between scripting beginners, which can find quite useful resources in books or web, and advanced scripting for larger scripting projects. For the latter there are no really useful resources.

Thanks, Tobias

Hi Nigel, I think you should look for »Data Merge«:
https://indesignsecrets.com/automating-data-handling.php
https://indesignsecrets.com/data-merging-part-2.php

(https://indesignsecrets.com/?s=data+merge)

Or any free resource you can find via web search. There are many free how-to videos available on the different video platforms either.

Best regards, Tobias
