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
