The following sample script shows how to turn off all eventListeners on the application object. For the
complete script, see EventListenersOff.
#targetengine "session"
app.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
Sample afterNew Event Listener
The afterNew event provides a convenient place to add information to the document, such as the user
name, the date the document was created, copyright information, and other job-tracking information. The
following tutorial script shows how to add this kind of information to a text frame in the slug area of the
first master spread in the document (for the complete script, see AfterNew). This script also adds
document metadata (also known as file info or XMP information).
#targetengine "session"
//Creates an event listener that will run after a new document is created.
main();
function main(){
var myEventListener = app.eventListeners.add("afterNew", myAfterNewHandler);
}
function myAfterNewHandler(myEvent){
var myDocument = myEvent.parent;
myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits =
MeasurementUnits.points;
myDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits =
MeasurementUnits.points;
myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;
myCreateSlug(myDocument);
myAddXMPData(myDocument);
function myCreateSlug(myDocument){
