/* 
 * USAGE 
 * Run from the command line using sampleclient.exe that comes with InDesign Server
 * Make sure InDesign Server is running at the address and port you spcifiy in the -host parameter
 * 
 * > sampleclient -host localhost:18383 <file path>\\preflight-with-profile.jsx indesignFilePath="<file path>\\<filename>.indd|idml"
 * 
 * Please note there are some hard coded file paths in the script below that you'll need to change.
 * 
 * Parameters
 *  indesignFilePath - full file path and name of InDesign file to test
 *  
 * NOTES
 *  Docs for ExtendScript: https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/
 *  ExtendScript Debugger Extension for VS Code (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Adobe.extendscript-debug)
 *  Install ExtendScript Toolkit and edit the script (and debug it directly with InDesign Server - sort of) (https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/ExtendScript-Toolkit)
 *  
 * DESCRIPTION
 *  1. Opens the passed InDesign file
 *  2. Loads the profile at c:\\temp\\ids\\sample-profile.idpp
 *  3. Attempts to preflight the InDesign file using the given profile
 *  4. Writes the preflight report file to disk at c:\\temp\\ids\\preflight-report.txt  
 *  
 *  And it emits a lot of stuff to the console as it goes.
 *
