Using a preset
To create a new document using a document preset, use the
document preset
parameter as previously
shown in the “Creating a new document” section.
Setting up master spreads
After you’ve set up the basic document page size, slug, and bleed, you’ll probably want to define the
document’s master spreads:
//MasterSpread.jsx
//An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
//Creates a document, then demonstrates setting master spread properties.
//Set up the first master spread in a new document.
myDocument = app.documents.add();
//Set up the document.
with(myDocument.documentPreferences){
pageHeight = "11i"
pageWidth = "8.5i"
facingPages = true;
pageOrientation = PageOrientation.portrait;
}
//Set the document’s ruler origin to page origin. This is very important
//--if you don’t do this, getting objects to the correct position on the
//page is much more difficult.
myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;
with(myDocument.masterSpreads.item(0)){
//Set up the left page (verso).
with(pages.item(0)){
with(marginPreferences){
columnCount = 3;
columnGutter = "1p";
bottom = "6p"
//"left" means inside; "right" means outside.
left = "6p"
right = "4p"
top = "4p"
}
//Add a simple footer with a section number and page number.
with(textFrames.add()){
geometricBounds = ["61p", "4p", "62p", "45p"];
insertionPoints.item(0).contents = SpecialCharacters.sectionMarker;
insertionPoints.item(0).contents = SpecialCharacters.emSpace;
insertionPoints.item(0).contents = SpecialCharacters.autoPageNumber;
paragraphs.item(0).justification = Justification.leftAlign;
}
}
