PageMaker Scripting

PageMaker contains an easy to use scripting language that allows end users to automate common tasks. Many actions that were previously only possible with plug-ins can now be done easily and quickly in a script.

If you want to control PageMaker from another application through AppleEvents or DDE, you will need to understand PageMaker scripting because IAC is based on the scripting language.

 

Scripting is not part of this SDK; for detailed information refer to "PageMaker Scripting: a Guide to Desktop Automation" by Hans Hansen, a new book on PageMaker scripting published by Adobe Press.

You may also be interested in the PageMaker Scripting web site maintained by Hans Hansen. This site contains a wealth of information about writing scripts. It includes user submitted scripts, and the latest tips and tricks from the scripting masters.
