There are a bunch of standard variables that you can use in an InDesign script that will reference Switch variables - take a look at the switch manual for those. Active document is referenced by using $doc The way to export whatever you want is to use a separate script for just the export functional...

It's not a big deal, but I'm having to grab the same data over and over again, and losing it when I reassemble ( I'm reassembling to get job counts to pass or fail the jobs ). It would be helpful to be able to clip the first prefix off of the inside jobs after disassembly to resume the original job ...

I've answered my own questions here, so I'll share what I've learned: 1. Yes, I split up the two scripts - the main imposition script is on the open command and the save and export script is on the save command. 2. I could see an alternative to NOT looping, so now I just dismantle the job up stream ...

Great thanks! A few more follow up questions... 1. This entire script is current attached to the open command - so I should split these up into to different scripts is what you are saying? I've read something about doing this and using the $infile variable... Would this be necessary? 2. Right now th...

I've got a script that does some imposition with InDesign and I want to save the Indesign document, the images that were imposed (these were from the incoming connection) and the PDF that I'm outputting - I'd like all this to leave through the outgoing connection to the script. I'm having difficulty...

What about sorting based on folder contents, then have your script downstream?

Nevermind - answered my own question:

[Image.XResolution]

Looks like in the built in variables there's everything BUT image resolution, ie: 300DPI - I see pixel dimension, but not image resolution. I need this to calculate the print size of an image. Its easy enough to get this info using command line utility identify, but how to get that info out and usab...

I know there's a limit within Switch that is less than Mac OS - would like to know the official number...

Freddy, Thanks - the docs can be a little on the light side sometimes and I always work better from example, which I have a few. The only benefit to using the sscript file would just be the ability to bring in more data, as you are limited to just 5 or 6 arguments. But i think by creating an array t...

So, for instance, I could retrieve private data from within the jsx script, just as I would in a sscript?

Thanks ya'll...

Yes, I got it. So are the "arguments" the only way to get Switch variables into a .jsx script for use?

i keep no secret of my ineptitude of switch and programming, and while yes, you cannot control system functions with javascript (prior to yosemite anyway), can you not use a .sscript file as your script for a configurator script instead of a .jsx? As to take advantage of the built in switch function...

I don't have Pitstop - is that what you are referring about when you say "profile"?
