The following sample script shows how to turn off all eventListeners for the application object. For the complete script, see EventListenersOff.
//EventListenersOff.jsx
//An InCopy CS6 JavaScript
#targetengine "session" app.eventListeners.everyItem().remove();
A sample “afterNew” eventListener
The afterNew event provides a convenient place to add information to the document, like user name, document creation date, copyright information, and other job-tracking information. The following sample script shows how to add this sort of information to document metadata (also known as file info or XMP information). For the complete script listing, refer to the AfterNew tutorial script.
