Keeping Paragraph, Character, and Object Styles consistent across a large collection of Adobe InDesign documents can quickly become repetitive.
Batch Style Migrator automates style renaming and synchronization across multiple InDesign files, helping production teams standardize document collections without updating every file manually.
Designed for real production workflows.
| BEFORE | AFTER |
|---|---|
| Open document | Run Batch Style Migrator |
| Find the styles to update | Select a reference document |
| Rename styles manually | Select the document collection |
| Repeat for the next file | Process the collection |
| Repeat again | |
| Repeat again... | |
| Repeat again... | |
| Check every document | Standardized document collection. |
InDesign provides several ways to manage and synchronize styles.
However, production projects are not always a single document or an InDesign Book.
Real projects may contain:
- multiple independent InDesign documents
- large document collections
- different versions of templates
- styles that need to be renamed consistently
- matching styles with different properties
- repetitive style updates across many files
When the same operation has to be repeated across a large document collection, manual processing becomes time-consuming and increases the risk of inconsistencies.
Batch Style Migrator automates this repetitive production work.
- Batch processing of multiple InDesign documents
- Paragraph Style renaming
- Character Style renaming
- Object Style renaming
- Style property synchronization from a reference document
- Simulation Mode before processing
- Detailed processing reports
- Optional recursive subfolder scanning
- Updating original documents or generating processed copies
- Automatic handling of matching style conflicts

Instead of repeating the same style operation document by document, the workflow is designed around the document collection.
Batch Style Migrator is designed for workflows such as:
- standardizing styles across publication projects
- updating document collections after template changes
- renaming styles across multiple files
- synchronizing styles from a reference document
- maintaining consistency across large document libraries
For important production work, processed copies can be generated instead of modifying the original documents.
Version 1.0 processes styles located at the root level of the Paragraph Styles, Character Styles, and Object Styles panels.
Styles stored inside Style Groups are currently ignored.
Support for Style Groups is planned for a future update.
