20 Awesome Scripts You Need to Know About
A collection of handy scripts to help with tasks large and small.
I like to refer to scripts and other add-ons as “InDesign’s Little Helpers.” They are easy to install (usually no restart required!) and are often my favorite price (FREE!*). But mostly I love finding scripts that perform a task that InDesign doesn’t do natively, or that the script just does better. They make InDesign life easier, which is always a good thing. In this article I’ll focus mainly on scripts that have never appeared in InDesign Magazine before, while tossing in a few noteworthy classics that are just as useful today as when they were written.

This is a great article. I have been working with Indesign for only a few years, but I learn something everytime. The merge tables script is great. Can it unmerge tables also, such as splitting a calendar with more than 1 layer across 2 pages with a spine?
Glad it was helpful! The script doesn’t split tables, no. What do you mean “more than one layer” in a table? Because if you just need to continue the table on the next page, you can just link text frames.
Thanks for this listing. I was having difficulty using the StyLighter script and the appliedparagraphStyle is very helpful and efficient.
Is Peter’s site down? All links for his scripts is not found.
Ah, apologies! All of Peter’s scripts now live on CreativePro’s site: https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesignscripts.html
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I was hoping to get an updated Calendar script but I get a “This site can’t be reached” error. Did the script get relocated?
It looks like they have changed the format for their links. You can find it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/calendarwizard/
