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.as
--An InDesign CS2 AppleScript
--Set up the first master spread in a new document.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to make document
--Set up the document.
tell document preferences of myDocument
set page height to "11i"
set page width to "8.5i"
set facing pages to true
set page orientation to portrait
end tell
--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.
set ruler origin of view preferences of myDocument to page origin
tell master spread 1 of myDocument
--Set up the left page (verso).
tell margin preferences of page 1
set column count to 3
set column gutter to "1p"
set bottom to "6p"
--"left" means inside, "right" means outside.
set left to "6p"
set right to "4p"
set top to "4p"
end tell
--Add a simple footer with a section number and page number.
