What does the ComixSuite InDesign Script?

Version 1.1

The InDesign Script allows you to import your translations made in ComixSuite into your Adobe InDesign document. The Script only imports the .jsx exported from ComixSuite.

Translation import feature

  • Import your translation at the right place in the geometry of the page.
  • Support for multiple imports into incremental layers.
  • Import all comments/instructions as a text anchored note.
  • The script is resilient to all spread or facing page configurations allowed by InDesign.

Typographic feature

  • The imported text is set with a Paragraph style.
  • All typographical decorations and capitalisation are set with a Character style.

Page shift feature

  • Fill in the different positions of a same page if your InDesign document differs from the one on ComixSuite and the script will calculate the page shift to import the translations correctly

Manga support for western InDesign

  • Check "Invert page order" to import the pages in reverse order from the last page to the first page.
  • This option is available if your version of InDesign cannot create "right to left" books.

Images import

  • Import the images your comics in addition to the translation into a dedicated layer.
  • Option to create missing pages if the book contains more pages than the InDesign document.
  • Target the folder containing the alphabetically ordered images.

Setup the ComixSuite InDesign Script

The Script must be installed in your Adobe InDesign Script panel (see How to Setup tab).
