![]() ![]() Then delete all the content from the contact sheet. Easiest way to do this is to run the contact sheet tool from bridge. To remove strokes from frames or adjust fit to frame or fit frame to image you need to create an indesign template. Is there a way I can use it?Įric, do you have the full Creative Suite, or just the InDesign CS3 "point product?" If you don't have the Suite, the "workflow automation" features in the Tools menu will not appear. Now, Tools > InDesign doesn't exist at all, much less the Create InDesign Contact Sheet part. I saved the "theScript" variable out to disk from a pass with my code enabled and a pass with the standard code. As far as I can tell I'm filling in all the necessary variables. I can create the filename to our specs, I've set the PDF preset, but I can't get InDesign to create the PDF. We want the script to put files on the Desktop of the current user (~/Desktop/) under a generated name. I have figured out how to disable the display of the dialog and how to preset our many options (paper size, orientation, rows/columns, caption text, and others) but I'm having trouble with the PDF output. We also want to save the contact sheets automatically to PDF. My people want the options preselected and they do not want the dialog box to show. I'm working on making the script as automated as possible. To make this happen automatically, create an InDesign template with your desired style attributes. ![]() After the contact sheet is created, just modify the Object Style named "captions" so that the object style doesn't have a stroke, and all the caption strokes will be removed. Nick, there is no need to modify the script to remove the stroke around the text captions. Is there a way to modify the script to take out the stroke around the text portion? I'd like it to run automatically after the contact sheet is created. I was wondering if there was a way to integrate the "Fit Frames to Graphics" into the contact sheet script itself. That should be in the workflow automation folder. Does Tools > InDesign > Create InDesign Contact Sheet appear in Bridge CS3, or is that missing also? If it is not missing, then try doing a search on your hard drive for "ContactSheet_ID.jsx". Hey "Anonymous", I'm sorry that you can't locate the workflow automation folder. I can't find the Workflow Automation folder for the life of me! Thanks for your help Hi There, I am yet another user who would find these scripts very useful. This is a royal pain, but it is probably the place to begin. I think the place to start would be to uninstall all the parts of he Creative Suite from your computer, and then to a fresh install. I wouldn't think that would make a difference.Īmanda, I can't quite think of what might be going on with your missing "workflow automation" scripts. However, the print/design suite was installed separately than the web bundle through an educational license at school. This comment has been removed by the author. ![]() I've scoured the web in search of any troubleshooting advice and haven't found anything online similar to the problem I'm having.Īmanda, do you have the entire Creative Suite, or just Adobe InDesign? Adobe Bridge is installed with the standalone ("point product") InDesign, but the "workflow automation" scripts are not available in Tools > InDesign unless you have the entire Creative Suite. ![]() So it was diappointing not being able to create contact sheets. I checked the start up scripts and the one to create contact sheets is there for both contact sheets and to communicate with indesign. However, do you have any advice on if the option indesign does not appear when going to tools > indesign? I've tried in both bridge and bridge cs3 and it does not appear. ![]()
