- Copy it into the appropriate InDesign "Scripts/Scripts Panel" folder
Instructions
-
Create a single file for each page (be it PDF, JPG or PNG every page needs it's own file)
-
follow the following naming convention for the files
Cover page:
PCN1_publication-name-here_date-here.extension-here

PCV2_publication-name-here_date-here.extension-here
Inside Back:
PCV3_publication-name-here_date-here.extension-here
Backside:
