process .idml and .indb files

Post by peterm »

Hi,



I am fairly new to using FullSwitch... and recently upgraded to version 10.



Is there any way to add extra filters to include .idml and .indb files so that InDesign can process them, as well as the standard .indd files?



My main goal is simply to generate PDF files.



...or will it be able ot pick them up if I don't specifiy any filters.



Thank you in advance

Hi Peter,



idml files are supported by the InDesign configurator in Switch 10.



iddb (book) files are not. The problem here is that they only reference one or more external InDesign documents. As they are binary files it's hard but not impossible to parse them for the paths of the separate documents. So a PowerSwitch script package should be able to collect all files and let them process individually by the InDesign configurator.



Regards



Robert
