Folks,
I´m currently learning Photoshop & InDesign script and it really gives you some time-saving tools.
For example I wrote a script that allows you to change the linked page of a PDF..
So - what would you like to see, what can I try to make your workflow faster? Any ideas?
And yes, I will share the scripts!

I want a script that will automatically resize and format a page for me without me having to do it manually
eg: having a A3 doc and going to A4 without having to resize everything manually

In illustrator you can draw a box and then split that box into different columns and rows.
Would love to see this feature in PS
- <this x1000000tasty
- can do that in InDesign toomonospaced
- you want that box in several layers or is it enough to draw lines?mekk
- it would be ideal if it produced multiple simple boxesmonospaced
- would be nice if the split box appeared on different layers.WeLoveNoise
- Isn't this feature already in Illy? Draw a box, then go to "Object" then to "Path" then to "slit into grid"? or in the tool pallette use the "retangular grid tool"Mr_Right
- they want it for ps :)mekk
- Doh!Mr_Right

- Kind of the same but not really. I'm asking to split a shape into different equal segments. not to draw a gridWeLoveNoise
- Yeah, meant to type a note to that effect but got distracted.duckseason

Can you please share the script for changing the linked PDF page? Perhaps you can share how you created it so I can tinker too. I often place InDesign pages INTO an InDesign deck, so this script would be great for that too, just to get around Relink (Show import options) and selecting a page each time.

Nice, I also script for Indd and have something to share if you want to.
Drop me a mail if you want to test my PDF placer for ID CS5.

script does the same but keeps the searching of the right file away from you, just select the box that contains the pdf and run the script, you will be shown the panel to select the page..
