indesign-script - CreatePageandMirrorGuides.jsx + MakeFoldMarksOnGuides.jsx

Im neuen InDesign Magazine gibt es zwei sehr nützliche Skripts
wie ich finde. Und zwar geht es um die Gestaltung von Faltblättern.
Da in der Lizenz des Skripts drin steht, dass es frei weitergegeben
werden kann, aber nicht verkauft, gebe ich sie somit an die
InDesign-Freaks hier weiter :-)

1.
Das erste heißt »Create Page and Mirror Guides« und hilft bei der
Vorbereitung der Dokumentseiten bei z.B. einem Wickelfalz bei
dem eine Seite bspw. kürzer ist als die anderen. Das Skript erzeugt
eine 2. Seite bei der die Positionen der Hilfslinien der 1. Seite
gespiegelt werden.

2.
Das zweite heißt Make Fold Marks on Guides und vergrößert
automatisch den »Slug«-Bereich und erstellt entlang den Hilfslinien
gestrichelte Falzlinien.
