Since you can't batch update the files in a folio any longer from within InDesign, is it possible to batch create .article files, preferably from the book palate? (Export as PDF doesn't give the option, at least in CC 2014.)
Hi,
You could do this via InDesign scripting.
This sample script will ask you to select a folder and will then generate .article files for all the Indd files in that folder.
You may need to modify this script for your environment and setup.
var srcFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Please select path to the InDesign files"); // get source folder
srcFolderContents = srcFolder.getFiles("*.indd"); // get a list indd file
for (var i = 0, n = srcFolderContents.length; i != n; i=i+1) // for each indd file create an article
{
var articleName = srcFolder + "/" + srcFolderContents[i].name.replace(".indd",".article");
var doc = app.open(srcFolderContents[i], false);
var dpsArticleP= [
[ "assetformat", "pdf"], // pdf, png, jpg or auto (auto chooses between png and jpg)
[ "showprogressbar", false ]
];
app.exportDpsArticle (File(articleName), doc, dpsArticleP); // export article
doc.close;
}
