Preserve Local Formatting script and CS4
Unfortunately, Dave Saunders' amazing PreserveLocalFormatting.jsx script (that changes local formatting to character styles) doesn't work under InDesign CS4. I've tried running it both as-is and in the compatibility mode (putting it in a folder marked Version 4.0 scripts), and it seems to star to run, but doesn't actually do anything. Anyone more versed in scripts know what might be the trouble?

[JS CS3/4] ScriptUI How to color a button ?
Is it a way to get a colored button in the ScriptUI DOM ?
I tried
dlg.button1.graphics.backgroundColor = dlg.button1.graphics.newBrush(dlg.button1.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR,[0.7,0.7,0.7],1);
But although the dialog is drawn, the button is not styled in best case, not visible in the worst case.
Is that possible to get a colored button ?
Hope so.
Do you have any tip ?
TIA

Textframe merge or grouping
Hi All,
First real stab at indesign scripting to set up some packaging artwork.
for component information on the box I am creating a textframe with all the various bits of info in there, ingredients etc. ince i have done this i create another 2 textframes each with an image in that tags onto the end of the weight line.
Now that i have these 3 textboxes on the page (i had multiple versions of these three) my script continues to work out where best to place this one the artwork based on available space and moves it with .geometricBounds. My problem is that I can't find a good way to group these 3 textframes and then relocate them to the new position.
is there a way of grouping or merging these 3 frames so that I can perform one command to move all 3?

Extracting single pages out of InDesign documents
Is it possible to extract or export single pages from an InDesign document?
So far I've done it this way: I remove all the other pages, save to a new document and reopen the original document.
Here's my script https://gist.github.com/2964807
But obviously this is more of an hack. And the problem is that it's very obvious to the user, as the document is closed and re-opened. Is there a cleaner way of doing it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Find/Change By List help
Hi all,
New to scripts here using InDesign CS6.
I need some help on how to set up the find/change by list script in InDesign. I searched the forums but I don't quite grasp if I need my list saved as a .txt file or something else and where to save the list.
I have a list of about 50 words (text only) (and growing) I'd like to simply find these words in my document, but not change them to anything as I need to rewrite the content to fit.
I'm hoping there is a find next of some sort with this script so I can search the entire set of terms in one shot. (I played with the Multi/Find change script (http://automatication.com/) but it looks like that requires me to "change all" rather than find all)
When I run the script in indesign it asks me to select a file to pull from. I currently have my list of text setup in a .txt file. (But not knowing code, I'm wondering if I need to save this text file differently or code it so the find/changebylist script can pull from this file)
Could someone point me in the right direction, or let me know if this is the correct script to use and how to use it?
I noticed in my script panel the find/change support folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\Scripts\ mentioned on this site is missing from my folder.)

Thanks for your help. Hopefully I get the hang of this soon.

Indesign: Export multiple groups as .eps
I have a product catalogue that I've created in InDesign and now I need to update the website with the new product images. The product images are linked .eps files that have dimensions added to them using lines and text boxes for the numbers. This is all then grouped together and there are a couple hundred of these all up.
The question is, is there a script that will export each individual group as an .eps file? So then I don't have to do it manually which would be a mammoth task.
Any ideas would be appreciated!

[CS4/JS] Mazes, Mazes, *Everywhere*!
A sample of what's possible when you combine Javascript with InDesign: a Maze generator.
I set out to find a Javascript that created mazes for HTML websites, but, while there are tons of those, they were not as easily converted to InDesign as I hoped. So I wrote one of my own using a description of Maze Generators on http://www.astrolog.org/labyrnth/maze.htm, but the code is entirely my own.
Not yet satisfied, I changed it from the usual rectangular shape to fill any object you care to draw! With this one constraint: curved edges are converted rather bluntly into straight lines. It won't work on a circle, for example (this will be 'straightened' into a rectangle), but it will work on, for example, a 5 pointed star!
Each small rectangle is about 5 mm wide and high, so make sure your object is large enough.
Download the code from my website: http://www.jongware.com/binaries/mazes-everywhere.zip
Start it in a blank document with no selection to get a crude "width/height" dialog, or draw a rectangle and have it selected to fill it with 5 mm wide maze paths. If you're feeling experimentally, draw polygons, or tack together a few shapes and combine their paths into one.
And if you're feeling really courageous, experiment with how to get 'holes' in your maze!
This one started out as Arial Black text, tracked to join the letters together; then it took some tries to get the "winding" of the holes right. (Techno-babble: There seems to be a bug in my code that doesn't always seems to return the correct winding order.)
Have fun!

Suggestions for changing tab with underline leader
I frequently create forms where I'll use a tab with the underline for the leader, e.g., Name_________________ Age___________, etc.
I like the line to be thinner than the text, say the text is 10pt I'll change the line to 8pt. I can do a Find/Change to change the Tab character to a smaller size, but that changes every tab whether it has a leader or not. I can't find a way to "Find every tab with a leader that's the underline and reduce the point size".
Any suggestions appreciated.

JS/ScriptUI: placeholder madness
I created this yummy text box entry placeholder for CS4 on my Mac:
but for some reason this fails to draw correctly on Windows! If the edit box is active and the cursor is in it, the text is not drawn but the cursor blinks at correct position at the end of that invisible text. Moving the cursor or typing in something makes the text pop back into view. (Sorry, should have thought of making a 'shot of that as well.) A real shame, because on my Mac it works as I meant it to: placeholder text shows when the field is inactive and empty, placeholder disappears when you enter the field and type anything in it. Delete text and leave box makes it appear again.
Is this an error in my code (silently corrected on the Mac but showing up on 'the other platform'), or is it an error on the Windows' Side of the world? Or is this just something one should not be messing with using ScriptUI? (A fairly reasonable explanation.) Or might it work correctly on CS5 for both platforms? (In which case I could put in a platform/version check -- "no fancy dialog for you, you Older Version on a Microsoft Platform!").
I also have a variant of same code that would underline static text, which also shows up correctly on Mac and not-at-all on Windows -- but then it may be failing for the very same reason.
My code:
var w = new Window ("dialog", "Display Placeholder");
w.bg = w.graphics.newBrush(w.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR,[1,1,1]);
w.textPen = w.graphics.newPen(w.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR,[0.67,0.67,0.67], 1);
with(w.add ("group"))
{ add ("statictext", undefined, "Text"); editbox = add ("edittext", undefined, ''); editbox.characters = 32; editbox.onDraw = function(d) { if( this.text || this.active) this.parent.onDraw(d) else { this.graphics.rectPath (0,0,this.size.width,this.size.height); this.graphics.fillPath(w.bg); this.graphics.drawString("<required>",w.textPen,0,0,this.graphics.font); } };

With CS2, some things have changed
I have not located a place where changes in scripting between CS and CS2 are reported, so I thought I'd start a topic here with some of the things I know about.
This is about changes to the object model that are not related to changes in the functionality that have taken place.
In describing these in the following messages, I'll use JavaScript terminology, but most of these issues are independent of the language.
