If your InDesign workflow fails you at a certain point, you don’t have to wait around hoping that Adobe will fix it in the next version. You can do it right now—with the help of scripts (even if you don’t know the first thing about coding).
This fun and collaborative session will include where to obtain scripts, tools for creating scripts, and what to do when things don’t quite work out. You’ll walk away with a toolkit to use along your InDesign scripting journey.
