InDesign Link Tool

Description

This is an AppleScript for dealing with links (at the moment just modified links) in all open documents. Like:

  • "Linkcheck AUS" -- disables modified and missing link check at open
  • "Links aktualisieren" -- update modified links in open documents
  • "Linkcheck EIN" -- enables modified and missing link check at open

After executing the script in InDesign you'll be presented with a "function" dialog. This is where you can choose from one of the functions above.

Disclaimer

Use my scripts at your own risk! I am not responsible for any damages to your InDesign Documents!
With my Repositories I just want to give the world back what I have got from others who share their code –
usable, productive AppleScripts!

Contributing

Want to contribute? Great! You sure know what to do, I am new to Github so I don't know if I am doing this right :)

File-Formats

Normally, in InDesign, I use the *.scpt format because it it precompiled but at the same time contains the code and is viewable via QuickLook.
I'm also commiting an *.applescript file, just because it it readable (If you just want to take a look) on github and the precompiled is not.
Both types are usually commited together – always – if not, then it wasn't necessary.

Localization

At the moment the script is mixed, english and german. with the documentation beeing mostly in english but most strings are in german.
As far as I researched it is not trivial to localize AppleScripts. We (the studio I work in) use these scripts

Installation

My scripts should work in a variety of InDesign Versions which is wy I use the Application ID instead of the name.
But they should definitly work in the latest InDesign Version. We update our Adobe apps as soon as a new version comes out.
Put the file in the application folder "Adobe InDesign CSx" > "Scripts" > "Scripts Panel"

Usage

open InDesign and some documents and start the script from the "Scripts Panel"
