InDesignServer101

InDesign Server Step-By-Step for Beginners like me:

1. Install InDesign Server

2. Run the server by going to the folder where InDesignserver.exe installed and launch a DOS box then type:
   Indesignserver –port 8400
   
   *8400 - can be any port number as long as it is open

3. Create a new .jsx file somewhere in your local drive then open it and type:
   var myDocument = app.documents.add();
var myFile = new File('c:/Kratos/test.indd');
myDocument.save(myFile);
myDocument.close();
   
   Save it somewhere easy to remember.

4. Go to the folder again where you install the indesignserver and launch another DOS box again and type:
   sampleclient -host localhost:8400 "c:/Kratos/indesignserver101.jsx"
   
   Check if the file test.indd was created on c:/Kratos/
