Applescript: How do I attach a script to an event??
i have applescript creates pdf , uploads specific destination. (see below)
i want invoke script every time user "saves" doc.
i novice when comes indesign applescripting...i don't know if possible attach script "save" function??
i guessing need incorporate event listener?? again guessing. perhaps there better way? attach script key combo command-s??
the objective give user option send pdf every time save document.
here script far:
......................
set _exportpdf (display dialog "send proof?" with icon caution buttons {"cancel", "pdf"} default button 2)
tell application "adobe indesign cs6"
if button returned of _exportpdf "pdf" then
set myfolder "pdfproofs:"
set _dest myfolder unicode text
set screensettings pdf export preset "[high quality print]"
set page range of pdf export preferences all pages
set docname name of document 1
if docname ends ".indd" then
set docname text 1 thru -6 of docname
end if
tell application "adobe indesign cs6"
export document 1 format pdf type to (_dest & docname & ".pdf") using screensettings without options
if modified of active document true then
tell active document save
close document 1
end if
(*
tell pdf export preferences
set view pdf true
end tell
*)
end tell
end if
end tell
