Using InDesign Scripts to Get Creative

For most of us, InDesign is our go-to app for creativity. It’s such a powerhouse of design and yet we are all guilty of sometimes spending too much time on some tasks when a simple script would help us. In this session, graphic designer and author of How Do I Do That In InDesign, Dave Clayton, will walk through some of his favorite scripts that, when used together, help you become more creative in your work. Together we’ll look at where to find cool scripts, simple installation and application.

This is a session suitable for beginners and intermediate users, if you’ve never used scripts before, then this is a great introduction for you, if you have, then you may learn some new ones. Dave recently taught a short session on scripts for Adobe Max 2020 and in this session we’ll expand on that with some new, creative scripts.

A PDF of the above info will be made available for all attendees.
