: InDesign script to verify spelling and grammar I was curious to know if there is a way to or a script available within InDesign (any solution alternative is preferred) that I can batch check

I won't comment on the validity of the queries you're running (how specific/abstract you'll need to make the search/replace strings will be context dependent), but the GREP Query Manager script should allow you to easily set up a chain of queries. You can then pull all the .indd files together as a book (.indb file), and run the search/replace script chain on that.

If you're not too hot on GREP and want good guide, GREP in InDesign is really useful (the guy who wrote it wrote the GREP Query Manager script as well), and was just updated this June.

EDIT: Regarding outputting recorded changes to a file, that I can't comment on. A script that outputs a .pdf seems somewhat pie-in-the-sky. There's Radish for version control (it's up at Google code) if that's any help.
