Summary

"One of the most powerful features of Adobe InDesign CS2 on both Macintosh and Windows is its comprehensive support for scripting. Using Adobe's extended implementation of JavaScript, called ExtendScript, you can create scripts to directly control Adobe applications. You can write scripts to automate repetitive tasks, customize applications, and even control complex workflows. This book doesn't teach you how to write code in JavaScript, but if you're familiar with the language and want to start writing scripts for your Adobe application, you'll love having the most definitive, up-to-date JavaScript reference available."--BOOK JACKET.
