I’m fairly new to Automator, just learning some of the basics right now, but I have a big project, and I’d like to know if it’s feasible with Automator. Basically our company needs to create files and a folder structure for orders from a spreadsheet.
For each order, I want Automator to create a few folders, name them, then create 2 separate InDesign files and name those. The names will be created from several different lines of a spreadsheet.
I would then like Automator to edit the Indesign files, adding text from the spreadsheet to both, as well as draw a box (size from the spreadsheet) and center it in one InDesign file.
I would also like Automator to provide me with options before I begin, to define separate variables.
Can all this be done with Automator? For InDesign it looks like it’s possible to use this: https://itunes.apple.com/cn/app/id-automator-action-pack/id506566351?l=en&mt=12
I’d appreciate any advice anyone could give.
