2. distribute

   document.distribute() doesn't allow aligning of pages.

   doc.distribute (doc.pages.everyItem(), DistributeOptions.HORIZONTAL_SPACE, true, 0)

   RESULT:
   Error: Invalid value of parameter "alignDistributeItems" of method "distribute". Expected array of PageItems, but received (Page,Page,Page).

   Expected: I can align pages in the UI via Align panel so I expect I can do the same in scripting.

4. Object Styles within Object Style Groups cannot be set to Document.pageItemDefaults (Scripting)

   See this thread in community forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/script-cannot-set-an-object-style-as-a-default-frame-style-if-this-style-is-inside-a-folder/td-p/13062809

   If an object style is within a group, it cannot be assigned as the appliedTextObjectStyle in Document.pageItemDefaults. Have not checked whether the same is true for appliedGraphicObjectStyle

5. appliedLanguage property of text-related objects returns language from application, not document

   When I do configuration for a language in a document, such as setting doubleQuotes, this language can be found in the document object's list of languages and has a different id than the language with the same name in the application object's list.

   But when I access text inside the document – regardless what I inspect, paragraph, words, character, textStyleRange – I expect to get the language properties as set in the document, but instead I get those as set in the app.

   I believe this to be a software bug.

   More information as well as a workaround can be found in https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/paragraph-appliedlanguage-seems-to-differ-from-the-actual-applied-language/m-p/12997100#U12991700

7. Convert Footnotes and Endnotes problem and a bonus scripting problem with special characters

   Indesign 17 on MacOs 12.3.1

   Convert Footnotes and Endnotes does not work when the footnotes does not have a footnote number.

   I have an Indesign document with footnotes.
   In each footnote I have removed the footnote number and the following tab character. (~F\t)

   I need these footnotes to be endnotes but this is not possible with the command "Convert Footnotes and Endnotes".

   Without the footnote number in the footnotes the command/script does not recognise the footnotes as being footnotes.

   They are however still footnotes and I can continue working with them as footnotes and also address them via scripting but the command "Convert Footnotes and Endnotes" does not work.

   I can reinsert a footnote number in each of the footnotes manually one by one by going through "Special Characters > Markers > Footnote Number.

   This will make the conversion work but this should not be necessary.

   Now to the bonus problem:

   I figured I could simply iterate the footnotes and insert the footnote number with a simple script. Guess what? Not that simple.

   I can insert everything except for the SpecialCharacters.FOOTNOTE_SYMBOL in the footnotes.
   Looking at the undo menu it appears as if indesign thinks it has inserted something as it says: "Undo Insert Text"
   But nothing was inserted.

   So ... I guess that I have two bugs here.

   Please help.

8. Section addition applescript splits last spread (applescript only)

   1. Version
      InDesign 16.4.1 CC2021 (macOS 10.16 Mojave)
      Only in applescript, not in javascript.

   2. Steps to reproduce the issues
      step1. prepare a spreads document. Total number of pages must be an odd number.
      step2. Use AppleScript to set the new section at even-numbered page.

   3. Expected result
      The state of the spread is not changed.

   4. actual result
      The spread at the end is split into two spreads.

   5. --code

   main()

   on main()
   mySetup() of me

   tell application "Adobe InDesign 2021"
   
       set mydoc to document 1
       set mypage2 to page 2 of mydoc
   
       tell mydoc
           set newsection to make section with properties {continue numbering:false, page start:mypage2, page number start:4}
       end tell
   end tell
   

   end main

   on mySetup()
   tell application "Adobe InDesign 2021"
   set mydoc to make document
   set properties of document preferences of mydoc to {facing pages:true, pages per document:5}
   end tell
   end mySetup

   -- code end

   In Japanese:

   見開きドキュメントを準備。総ページ数は奇数。
   任意の偶数ページにセクションを設定するスクリプトを実行すると、最終スプレッドが分割されてしまう。
   Applescriptでのみ発生して、javascript や手作業では発生しない。

10. cells selection

    Bug 1:

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.
    Merge the first 2 cells of the first row.
    Now you have 2 cells in the first row. (A and B).
    Set the contents of other cells to C, D, E, F, G, H.
    Now select cells B, D and E.
    If you click on the Edit menu, InDesign crash.
    If you choose File -> Export, InDesign crash.
    On the scripting side, calling document.selection throw an exception and it is not possible to get the current selection.

    Bug 2:
    See "Table 2" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 2 columns and 4 rows.
    Split the second cells of the first row.
    Now you have 3 cells on the first row.
    Set the contents of the cells to numbers from 1 to 9.
    Now select cells 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (skip cell 3).
    Run this code:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var selectedCells = doc.selection[0].cells;

    var i, ilen, contents = [];

    for (i = 0, ilen = selectedCells.length; i < ilen; i++) {
    contents.push(selectedCells[i].contents);
    }

    alert(contents.join('-'));

    expected result: 1-2-4-5-6-7-8-9
    current result: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (cell 3 is not part of the selection, cell 9 is missing).

    Applescript and VBscript don't have this problem, only ExtendScript.
    This happens with all versions of InDesign.

    Bug 1:

    See "Table 1" in the provided screenshot.
    Make a table with 3 columns and 3 rows.

11. findGrep() causes Indesign to hang and consume all available resources, eventually crashing the entire computer

    This code will cause InDesign 17.1 to hang and consume all available resources until the computer eventually runs out of both real and virtual memory and then crashes.

    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findChangeGrepOptions.properties = { includeMasterPages: true, kanaSensitive: true, widthSensitive: true };
    app.findGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '^(.*)$';

    var found = app.documents[0].changeObject.findGrep();

    If the runaway app is terminated using Task Manager (Windows 10), a stack of message boxes appear with the following message:
    Unable to terminate process
    The operation could not be completed
    The operation is not valid for this process

13. Custom menus created by script stay after relaunching InDesign

    There's a bug in InDesign 2022 where custom menus created by a script stay after relaunching InDesign.

    How to reproduce:

    -Run this AppleScript script which will create a menu titled Custom Menu:

    tell application "Adobe InDesign 2022"
    tell menu "$ID/Main" to make submenu with properties {title:"Custom Menu"}
    end tell

    -Relaunch InDesign

    The menu Custom Menu will still be there. While it should NOT be there unless explicitely created by a script again.

    The only way to remove it is to run a separate script that specifically removes the menu.

    It's a big problem for third-party software: for example, where users remove a startup script that created the menu - but the menu doesn't go away.

15. AppleScript Finder communication

    InDesign version 16.3.2 with OSX 10.14.6 or later

    Indesign script‘s with calls to the Finder or other Apple apps work running from Apple’s Script Editor, but break when running from InDesign’s Scripts panel. Get an Not Authorized to Send Apple Events to Finder error.

    This breaks when running from the Scripts panel, but worked with InDesign 2020:

    Calls to other Adobe apps are ok, so this still works from the panel:

16. Scripts using BridgeTalk do not work on M1 Macs (regardless of CC version)

    ID version: InDesign CC 2021 (16.3.2)
    OS: macOS Big Sur 11.5.2
    Processor: Apple M1

    When I try to run a script that uses BridgeTalk and works with Photoshop, it does not work.
    Also, a simple script using BridgeTalk will not work as well.
    Those scripts do work in CC 2021 on Intel Mac and macOS Big Sur 11.5.2.

    alert('done');
    

    }

    if you call the closeBooks function, everything works fine.
    But if the function is used as a handler, the "done" message appears immediately, before the for loop complete.

    try adding a beforeQuit eventListener:
    app.addEventListener('beforeQuit', closeBooks);

    and close InDesign having one or more modified books to see this (strange) behaviour.

    The same function works fine if you target documents.

19. Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table

    Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table.

    Hello, I have some problems when I use one script Javascript to read XML attributes of tagged images contained into tables.
    One XML file with data is imported into document with existing XML structure. In attached example there is a simply structure with one tagged text frame. When importing XML data, text frame contain one simply tagged table with one tagged image into one cell.
    In earlier versions of Indesign (up to CC 9.2) this script works fine.
    In later versions this script not read correctly these attributes: in CC2020 version script read container cell attributes; in CC2021 instead script read correct XML element but this element appears invalid.
    If I first import XML file into an empty document and then tag the text frame then there is no problems!

    ---

    Adobe InDesign CC2021(16.1)
    MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 on Mac mini (Late 2014) 3 GHz Intel Core i7

    1) New file from scratch
    2) Add new text frame and tag it with "TEXT"
    3) Import example XML file "imgattrs.xml"
    4) Run script file "imgattrs.jsx"

    EXPECTED RESULT: read XML attributes of tag "IMG"
    ACTUAL RESULT: "IMG" xmlElement is not valid.

    ---

    Javascript:

    var doc = app.documents[0];
    var root = doc.xmlElements.firstItem();
    var frame = doc.textFrames[0];

    var xmlelems = root.evaluateXPathExpression("//IMG");
    var rectxml = xmlelems[0];
    if (rectxml && rectxml.isValid) {
    var attrsnames = rectxml.xmlAttributes.everyItem().name;
    var attrsvalues = rect_xml.xmlAttributes.everyItem().value;
    }

    ---

    XML file to import:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <Root><TEXT><Table xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/" aid:table="table" aid:trows="3" aid:tcols="2"><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"><IMG href="file://img.jpg" height="42" width="42" object_style="img_listino" noback="1"></IMG></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell><Cell aid:table="cell" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1" aid:ccolwidth="82.91338582677166"></Cell></Table></TEXT></Root>
