If you want to automate certain tasks in Adobe, Inc.'s InDesign application, you can create scripts and save them in the JSX file format. InDesign is a desktop publishing program which allows you to create and edit documents such as, for example, brochures, magazines or flyers. InDesign scripts use a modified version of the JavaScript scripting language, known as ExtendScript. As with JavaScript, you can write ExtendScript files in a standard text editor such as Notepad and save them with a JSX file extension.
