1. Can't retrieve XMP-metadata from Cloud-stored files

   Hello Adobe and hello Community,

   I'm having a problem with a Javascript I wrote to retrieve XMP metadata from linked files, that are stored in a Creative Cloud Library (Bought from Adobe Stock -> stored in a Library, because i was unable to download the files).

   Ultimately, the script retrieves the Creditline of all the linked graphics in an InDesign-file / InDesign-files in a folder by bulk processing.

   I have to accesse the XMP to retrieve the correct copyrightinfo.
   @Adobe: On Adobe Stock you guys put the information to give credit to the creator in the XMP field "Creditline" (creator - stock.adobe.com). In InDesign you cannot retrieve that field by out-of-the-box extendscript methods like: Link.linkXmp.copyrightNotice
   Please add the method to retrieve the correct field in extendscript!

   The Script I'm running works perfectly fine for links, that are located on my local drive or server but it doesn't work for Assets that are linked in the document from Adobe Creative Cloud.

   My Script looks something like this:

      if ( !ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript ){
       try{ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');}
       catch (e){alert('Unable to load the AdobeXMPScript library!');}
   }
   
   
   var myFile = File(app.selection[0].graphics[0].itemLink.filePath);
   alert(myFile.fsName);
   xmpFile = new XMPFile(myFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ);
   var myXmp = xmpFile.getXMP();
   xmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
   
   
   var myPsCredit = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP,"Credit");
   var myDcCredit = myXmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC,'rights[1]');
   if (myPsCredit) {
       var output = myPsCredit;
   } else{
       var output = myDcCredit;
   }
   
      alert(output);
   
   
      if( ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript ){
       try{ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript.unload(); ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = undefined;}
       catch (e){alert('Unable to unload the AdobeXMPScript library!');}
   }
   

   In this line I'm getting an error:

   errornumber: 1000

   errorstring: XMP Exception: OpenFile returned false

      xmpFile = new XMPFile(myFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ);
   

   I'm reading from this, that the XMP of that file which is located in the Creative Cloud, cannot be opened.

   Is there a way for still retrieving the XMP-data from those files?

   Unless there is a way to bulk-download all the Assets from the cloud and automatically re-link them in all the files i want to check (which Adobe also does not support. You can only download one file at a time from the Creative Cloud App. Great job, well done, users are sooooo happy about that), I have to access the XMP in the Cloud-stored files.

   If there is no other way to access the needed XMP-data, please implement a fix to do so.

   Also posted here, but so far I didn't receive an answer: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/retrieving-xmp-data-from-cloud-asset-throws-error/m-p/11522046?page=1

2. InDesign Scripting bug? Master Pageitems of specific Layer as Collection

   I want to see all 'master' page items of all master spreads on a specific layer using code like this:

   app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName('existLayerName').pageItems.everyItem().getElements();

   Even such a layer contains 'master' page items, this code always returns an empty array!

4. Events: 'afterSelectionAttributeChanged' (LayoutWindow)

   The event 'afterSelectionAttributeChanged' (LayoutWindow) has the "Event" class, but logically its class should be "MutationEvent", since it is not clear which attribute of the object has been changed...

   The mutation event in most classes that have an addEventListener method does not work.

5. InDesign Server + Catalina = heavy permission problems

   --- Update: PROBLEM SOLVED. See comment below ---

   We have run into to serious problems with running InDesign Server (IDS) on Mac OS 10.5.x Catalina: The problems are somehow related to file permissions and will only show when the IDS instances are started by launch agents (or launch deamons).

   This problem manifests itself in several ways we have encountered – using IDS CC 2020 as well as IDS 2019:

   1. Documents can only be opened from a limited number of locations – actually only one location as far as we know, the /private/tmp/ directory on the local machine. When one of our scripts (applescripts) tells IDS to open a file stored in any other location that we have tried – like the desktop or on a network volume connected to with smb or afp – IDS always trow back error number 29445, stating that the file is opened by another user or in another program (which its not).

   Copying or moving the document file manually to the /tmp folder makes the document openable without any error message. This might suggest a possible workaround – but no: the files cannot be copied or moved either by the scripts themselves:

   1. Any command to do something with files, other than files in the /tmp-folder, results in error ”Operation not permitted” when run from a script executed from IDS started with launch agents. Finder commands or shell script commands like cp, mv and touch all fails. So it’s not even possible to copy a document to the /tmp directory from the script before opening it.

   2. Trying to place an EPS-file in a document from a script in the ”forbidden” locations results in the same error message as mentioned first above: 29445. This does not happen with pdf:s, jpg:s or png:s. This is a smaller problem than the other two above, since it can be worked around by converting the eps-files to pdf.s in another process.

   But problem 1+2 is a showstopper.

   All these problems (probably having a common cause) are totally non-existent under other circumstances:
   • IDS is started with launch agents in systems older than 0.5.x Catalina – no problem.
   • IDS is started from Terminal with Catalina – no problem.
   • Indesign CC (client version) is used, under any Mac OS.
   There is no difference with IDS CC 2020 compared to IDS CC 2019 in this respect.

   The problems could be related to the new security measures introduced with Catalina, where access to network volumes and some local directories (like the desktop) are more heavily controlled than in previous systems, demanding the user to actively allow access to such locations. But with IDS, when started by agents or deamons, those dialogs never show up – only the error messages. And it’s not possible (as far as we know by all the ways we have tried) to allow such access for IDS.

   Another security measure, introduced with Mac OS 10.14 – the limitation for scripts to automate other applications without user consentis – is possible to handle under Catalina: A startup script (telling osascript to tell applications to do something) can force the desired dialogs in wich the user can allow InDesign Server to send Apple Events to those applications – once and for all. That’s fine.

   But using a startup script to force the corresponding dialogs for directory access will not work with IDS when started from launch agents. Whatever method we have tried, there is always the same the error message: Operation not permitted.

   Dragging launchd to the Full Disk Access panel doesn’t help either

   However, when IDS is started from Terminal, the same startup script gives us the desired result: The user is asked to give application Terminal access to the network filesystem – which we then can give it, once and for all.

   Starting IDS from Terminal is not a plausible solution in real production though, at least for stability reasons.

   So the question is: Why can IDS not be given access to file directories when started by launch agents? Why won’t the necessary questions show up?

   I guess the cause of the problems relies somewhere inbetween Apple and Adobe. The combination of launch agents and InDesign Server does not work in combination with the new Catalina security measures. Adobe certainly has responsibility, at least partly, since there is no announcement that running IDS by launch agents under MacOS Catalina will not work.

   We hav invested in machines that canon ot run systems older than Mac OS Catalina, so our scripts must work in that environment.

   Anyway, the most important question for us right now is: What can we do in the current situation? Is there a workaround?

   Partial Fix  ·  amaarora responded

   Hi,
   1. The majority of InDesign Scripting threads were merged and archived at first.
   2. After a month or so, InDesign Scripting re-appeared as its own topic in the new forums.
   3. David K. started un-archiving older threads last week, a few at a time, very slowly and by hand, because of odd server-side limitations.
   4. There is no “Direct Link” to the Scripting Topic at this time, but this ought to be fixed with the current sprint from the forums team. The internal bug number is: ALFD-1530

   While we wait for ALFD-1530, there is a backdoor way to find direct links to topics. You can follow a topic then look at your follows… or just use these links:

   • InDesign Scripting: https://community.adobe.com/t5/forums/filteredbylabelpage/board-id/indesign/label-name/scripting
   • InDesign SDK: https://community.adobe.com/t5/forums/filteredbylabelpage/board-id/indesign/label-name/sdk

10. BUG - Scripting: multiple paragraph styles for multiple paragraphs in one text box not working correctly

    Paragraph styles are not being applied correctly when setting more than two paragraph styles for more than one paragraph in a text box.

    For three or more paragraphs, paragraph n is set to paragraph style n, and paragraphs 1 through n-1 are set to paragraph style n-1. The expected behaviour would be that paragraph 1 is set to paragraph style 1, paragraph 2 is set to paragraph style 2, paragraph 3 is set to paragraph style 3, ..., paragraph n is set to paragraph style n.

11. PreflightScope not working

    PreflightOptions.preflightScope in InDesign has not worked since at least CS 5.5. No matter what value is used, preflight checks the whole document. Here is a sample script (error for color image <250 ppi) that the issue can be tested:

    var currDoc = app.documents[0];
    if (app.preflightProfiles.itemByName("export").isValid){
            app.preflightProfiles.itemByName("export").remove();
    }
    var pfProfile = app.preflightProfiles.add({name: "export"});
    var pfResRule = pfProfile.preflightProfileRules.add("ADBE_ImageResolution", {flag: PreflightRuleFlag.returnAsError});
    pfResRule.ruleDataObjects.add("color_min_res", RuleDataType.realDataType, 250);
    currDoc.preflightOptions.preflightScope = '1-2';
    var pfProcess = app.preflightProcesses.add(currDoc, pfProfile);
    pfProcess.waitForProcess();
    pfResults = pfProcess.aggregatedResults[2];
    $.writeln(pfResults);
    

    ––> with a 3-page document with problems on pages 2 and 3, InDesign reports both problems despite the scope been set to ‘1-2’ (same with ‘1’ and ‘1,2’)

    We would very much like to speed our preflight process and get rid of the tedious parsing of preflight results only to discard pages not set in the scope.

    One additional note on its behavior that could be fixed, too: if you define a scope that includes page numbers not in the document, either as
    - a range e.g. "1-5" when document has pages numbers 1,4,5,6,... or
    - e.g. "14" when the document has only 12 pages
    ––> InDesign throws an error "Error 30477: Invalid value for set property 'preflightScope'. Expected PreflightScopeOptions enumerator or String, but received "1-5".", which is quite misleading.

    PreflightOptions.preflightScope in InDesign has not worked since at least CS 5.5. No matter what value is used, preflight checks the whole document. Here is a sample script (error for color image <250 ppi) that the issue can be tested:

    pfResRule.ruleDataObjects.add("color_min_res", RuleDataType.realDataType, 250);
    currDoc.preflightOptions.preflightScope = '1-2';
    var pfProcess = app.preflightProcesses.add(currDoc, pfProfile);
    pfProcess.waitForProcess();
    pfResults = pfProcess.aggregatedResults[2];

14. Make the (Black) Color Swatch a TRUE BLACK

    In the Appearance Panel, the (Black) color swatch is not a TRUE BLACK color and when this color swatch is used and a file is exported to PDF, Rich black is not achieved.

    The attached document shows a few shapes that are black. The top right is a true black color and the color swatch had to be changed from the standard (BLACK) color swatch in order to be achieved when exporting to a PDF. The left and bottom color swatches have the (Black) color swatch from the appearance panel applied.

    Please, Please, Please, make the (Black) color swatch a true rich black color (since users cannot adjust this color).

    Since the standard (Black) color swatch isn't true black, it will take me quite a bit of time to apply a new color to all my previously designed files that use your standard (Black) color swatch.

16. False state with app.gpuPerformancePreferences.enableGpuPerformance if no GPU available

    Function GetEnableGPUPerformance() of interface IGPUPerformancePrefs of GetExecutionContextSession()->QueryWorkspace() returns true in case no GPU or a not supported GPU is installed on your macOS computer.

    To reproduce launch InDesign CC 2018 or later with modifier keys command, option, control, and shift pressed and confirm resetting the preferences.

    If you now check the setting either with some C++ code, or ExtendScript "app.gpuPerformancePreferences.enableGpuPerformance", in both cases the returned result is true , which is not the expected result.

    When you now choose Preferences > GPU Performance the properties are shown deselected and disabled, which is correct. If you now click in "OK", the above function call now correctly returns false. After quitting and restarting InDesign, the preferences still return false, the correct state.

    Looks like the preferences are NOT setup on first launch, but use a boolean default value of "true".

18. [15.0.0.155] New property Alternate Text for Hyperlinks is not supported by Scripting, IDMS and IDML

    Hi,
    I see no new property for a new feature with InDesign 2020 version 15.0.0.155:
    Alternate Text for Hyperlinks.

    The feature is also missing with IDMS and IDML.

19. Bug When Overriding Master Page Items: Unexpected Shift of Master Page Objects

    When overriding page items by script, those items are unexpectedly shifted and do not stay in the x/y position, they are on the master page. This differs widely from the UI-behaviour of InDesign.

    There is a very good view and analysis of this bug from Marc Autret, which can be found here:

20. Setting stroke weight to 0 by script results in 1 pt

    Given a frame (graphic or text) with stroke color set to 'None' and stroke weight set to 0, the jsx command "app.selection[0].strokeWeight = 0" sets the weight to 1pt and stroke color to the default swatch.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a new Document.
    2. Create a new Text (or Graphic) Frame.
    3. Set the stroke weight to 0 and color to 'None' if necessary
    4. Select the frame with the Selection tool.
    5. Start a script with a following one line: app.selection[0].strokeWeight=0

    Expected result: no change
    Actual result: stroke weight set to 1pt and color to the default swatch.

    Note:
    Setting stroke weight to any other value behaves as expected.
