I have just released a new version of SelectionToPDF, that should address the problem Greg was experiencing.

After installing the new version of SelectionToPDF and run it once over any selection (File > Export Selection To PDF), the scripts CropMarks and ImageCatalog should run fine again.

Thanks
Martinho

Hi Martinho,

I really like using this new script. I am running IDCS3 on a Mac running Parallel Desktop and Microsoft Windows XP. After doing some testing, several of my Javascripts stopped functioning. For example, the CS3 CropMarks.jsx and ImageCatalog.jsx.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Could this be a Parallel Desktop issue?

Thanks in advance for you response.

Best regards,

Greg

Thanks, great tool! Again one reason more to switch less to Illustrator.

I have just released a new version of SelectionToPDF to fix an issue related to the installation of the menu in the Dutch and German versions of Adobe InDesign CS3. Dank u wa veghel!

To install SelectionToPDF in InDesign(CS3) User Scripts folder…

Make sure that you have placed the folder SelectionToPDF into:

Mac OS
Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/[version]/Scripts

Windows XP
Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\[version]\Scripts

Windows Vista
Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\[Version]\Scripts

Alternatively:

Open InDesign CS3 and go to the Scripts panel (Window > Automation > Scripts).

Right-mouse click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) on the User Folder and choose Reveal in Explorer (Windows) or Reveal in Finder (Mac).

This opens the User folder, now you can simply copy SelectionToPDF Folder into it and then restart InDesign.
