Books
There are remarkably few titles on InDesign scripting. Some books listed here have old InDesign versions in their titles, but the changes in InDesign scripting are about additions to the program, not about the nature of scripting, so all titles are still relevant for the latest versions of InDesign.
GREP in InDesign (3rd edition)
The industry “bible” for using GREP in Adobe InDesign! Learn the ins and outs of this powerful tool, from finding text patterns to automatically applying formatting throughout your document. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced user, this in-depth tutorial will give you the tools to supercharge your work.
Scripting InDesign CS3/4 with JavaScript
A beginner’s guide. Contains a section on how to tackle InDesign’s object model, and a rudimentary beginner’s guide on JavaScript. It has CS3/4 in its title but it was updated for CS5, and it is still good for the latest InDesign versions.
JavaScript for InDesign (2nd edition)
Adobe InDesign is like an iceberg—the features you see in the panels and menus are only a small percentage of what’s actually available in the program, and the rest lies below the surface. If you want to access those hidden riches, this book will teach you about InDesign’s object model, the basics of JavaScript, and how to put the two things together!
InDesign CS5 Automation Using XML & JavaScript
Excellent book on scripting InDesign. It has CS5 in its title but it is still relevant for the latest InDesign versions.
InDesign automatisieren: Keine Angst vor Skripting, GREP & Co.
Excellent book on scripting InDesign and InDesign’s GREP. In German.
Automating Adobe InDesign CS4 with ExtendScript
Like the other titles, above, this one, too, has an old InDesign version in its title. And like the other titles, it’s still relevant for the latest InDesign versions.
