Setting the active document's defaults
To set the text defaults for the active document, change this line in the preceding example:
tell text defaults
to:
tell text defaults of active document
Using text defaults
To set text in a document to a default character style or paragraph style, use the following script:
--SetTextDefaultToStyle.as
--An InDesign CS2 AppleScript
--Sets the default paragraph style for text in all new documents.
--Assumes that an application default paragraph style named "BodyText" exists
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell text defaults
set applied paragraph style to paragraph style "BodyText"
end tell
end tell
Adding XMP metadata
Metadata is information that describes the content, origin, or other attributes of a file. In the InDesign user
interface, you enter, edit, and view metadata using the File Info dialog box (File > File Info). This metadata
includes the creation and modification dates of the document, the author of the document, the copyright
status of the document, and other information. All this information is stored using XMP (Adobe Extensible
Metadata Platform)—an open standard for embedding metadata in a document.
To learn more about XMP, see the XMP specification at http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/pdf/
