1. Indesign has stopped working / turns off when turned on / while document is open / after restoration turns off again

   Hello, I am writing to you asking for help. Since yesterday, adobe indesign has stopped working properly. After creating a new document / or opening a file that I was working on, the program crashes. It gives you a file rollback and shuts down again. Once we managed to turn on the program for a moment, but it was enough to stick to paragraph styles and move the frame, the program turns off immediately. I would ask for info on this matter. Tried installing previous versions, still the same problem; I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and the situation repeats itself. I am asking for help in this matter.

   Thanks for your reply in advance

2. InDesign 16.3.2 not authorised to send Apple events to other apps

   I’m using the InDesign do script AppleScript command to instruct another application to do something.
   Since 16.3 this doesn’t work anymore, because macOS prevents the script from running. Previous versions of InDesign worked fine, after the user allowed InDesign to control the target app.

   Usecase:
   I’m the developer of a font manager and want InDesign to report which fonts are used in a document

   macOS version: 11.3.1
   InDesign version: 16.3.2

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Reset the macOS Apple Event permissions for InDesign in Terminal:
      tccutil reset AppleEvents com.adobe.InDesign

   2. Run the following AppleScript:
      tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign"
do script "tell application \"Finder\" to display dialog \"Hello\""
end tell

   Expected:
   1. macOS asks to allow InDesign to control Finder
   2. After confirming, Finder shows an alert

   Actual:
   AppleScript error: Not authorized to send Apple events to Finder. (-1743)

   Background info:
   InDesign versions before 16.3 worked fine. I’ve been using do script to communicate with my app without issues. When running the script the first time macOS will ask the user to allow InDesign to control my app. After confirming or dismissing this dialog a new entry in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Automation will show up for Adobe InDesign 2021.app

   If the Automation entry is checked communication is authorised and the script works fine. If the user did not allow control, the entry is unchecked and can be enabled at any moment by the user in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Automation.

   Since InDesign 16.3 the macOS permission dialog doesn’t show up anymore. The user is not asked to give permissions and the entry will never show up in Automation. This results in all scripts failing due to no authorisation to communicate with external apps.

   If the user had previously allowed control (e.g. using InDesign 16.2), the Automation permission is persistent and works for 16.3 as well. But if it’s a first-time user, or if the Automation permission is reset, InDesign 16.3 will never trigger the dialog anymore.

   To reset macOS Apple Event permissions run the following command in Terminal:
   tccutil reset AppleEvents com.adobe.InDesign

   Solution:
   Looks like adding NSAppleEventsUsageDescription to the InDesign Info.plist solves the issue. Once this key is added the macOS permission dialog will show up correctly again.
   I’ve successfully confirmed this by adding this key to the plist:
   plutil -insert NSAppleEventsUsageDescription -string "This script needs to control other applications to run." /Applications/Adobe\ InDesign\ 2021.app/Info.plist

   And resigning the .app using a custom signing certificate (changing the Info.plist will break the original signing).

   According to https://indiestack.com/2018/08/apple-events-usage-description/ this key is required when linking against the macOS 10.14 SDK. Perhaps that’s what has changed in 16.3?

   If you need any further information to reproduce this issue, or information about the solution please let me know.

3. Handle SpecialCharacters with unicode equivalents as normal text

   SpecialCharacters are certainly necessary in places where there is no unicode equivalent (such as AUTOPAGENUMBER) but for many characters with unicode equivalents (BULLETCHARACTER, COPYRIGHTSYMBOL), it complicates string manipulation with no benefit (that I can see).

   Example:
   mySelectionContents = app.selection[0].contents;
   alert("The current selection is when added to a string is " + mySelectionContents);
   alert("The current selection is when coerced to a string is " + String(mySelectionContents));

   If you select a single bullet character, and force the specialCharacter to a string by adding it to the alert string you get "1396862068" or "BULLET_CHARACTER" if you explicitly convert to a string. You get an error in some places if you try to use mySelectionContents as text without this explicit conversion (my specific issues is objectExportOptions.customAltText).
   If you select two bullet characters with nothing else, you get •• with no need to coerce anything.

   Requested change:
   Ideally any character that has a unicode equivalent should be removed from the "special characters" set and handled like a normal character.

   If thats not possible, when getting the contents of a text object, the behavior should be the same regardless of the number of selected character, and should return the proper unicode value and not the special character value.

   Allow specialCharacters to be a valid value for objectExportOptions.customAltText (would fix the specific issue I'm having today, but there are a few other places where I have already worked around this issue)

   If none of these is possible, as a last resort, please provide access to the function used when multiple special characters in a row are selected, so we can use the same conversion.

5. 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!

8. Ability to identify if a Story is TOC_STORY, which TOC_STYLE is in use

   Using InDesign Server (or scripts in InDesign Desktop) via JavaScript, it would be very helpful if there was an API/mechanism for discovering details for table of contents usage.

   Current Issue:
   It doesn't look like there is a way to see if a TOCStyle is actually used anywhere. A document can contain multiple TOCStyles, but it's possible only one is placed in the document. Likewise, it doesn't appear there is a way to resolve the TOCStyle being used for a Story that is of type StoryTypes.TOC_STORY.

   Proposed solution(s):
   - Add a Stories property to the TOCStyle object that contains references to the Story objects that have that TOCStyle applied.
   - Expose the Story 'AppliedTOCStyle' property via ExtendScipt. This property already exists on the Story IDML object but doesn't appear to be exposed through ExtendScript.

   Thanks for your time!

9. Some plug-ins compiled for InDesign 2021 16.0 crash InDesign 2021 16.1 - the 16.0 and 16.1 SDK are incompatible

   When a plug-in relies on the embedded Boost framework to support regular expressions, it can cause a crash because of unresolved dependencies.

   The issue is that the 16.0 SDK uses Boost 1.65 and the 16.1 SDK uses Boost 1.72

   Plug-ins compiled against the 16.0 SDK that use regular expressions will try to access an entry point __ZN5boost16re_detail_10650018get_default_syntaxEh (unmangled: boost::re_detail_106500) when handling regular expressions.

   The problem is that this entrypoint's name is dependent on the Boost version (1.65).

   This entry point is provided by the (on Mac) embedded framework

   /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2021.app/Contents/Frameworks/boost_regex.framework/Versions/A/boost_regex

   When a plug-in compiled against SDK 16.0 is used with InDesign 2021 16.1, this entry point does not exist any more.

   Instead, the equivalent entry point is now boost::re_detail_107200 and boost::re_detail_106500 does not exist in InDesign 2021 16.1

   That causes the plug-in to crash InDesign.

   As a result, plug-ins that use boost_regex that are compiled for 2021 16.0 are incompatible with 2021 16.1 and vice-versa.

   When a plug-in relies on the embedded Boost framework to support regular expressions, it can cause a crash because of unresolved dependencies.

10. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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?

15. 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

    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… more

17. HyperlinkTextDestination elements missing from anchored objects in exported icml

    When exporting icml from InDesign, anchored objects with hyperlink text destinations inside of them are missing those destinations.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Make a new document with text.
    2. Insert an anchored text frame with text into the story.
    3. Insert a hyperlink text destination into the anchored text frame.
    4. Create a hyperlink from outside of the text frame to inside of it.
    5. Export icml of the story.

    In the exported icml, the hyperlink destination will be missing and the link will be broken.

18. A new TextFrame InsertionPoints.count changes from 1 to zero when linked to a previous frame and the program effectively crashes

    Replaces a previous post - this is written and tested in VB Script:

    Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2020")
    Set myDocument = myInDesign.Documents.Add
    Set myPage = myDocument.Pages.Item(1)
    Set myTextFrameA = myPage.TextFrames.Add
    myTextFrameA.geometricBounds = Array(72, 72, 144, 144)
    Rem Add a page.
    Set myNewPage = myDocument.Pages.Add
    Rem Create another text frame on the new page.
    Set myTextFrameB = myNewPage.TextFrames.Add
    myTextFrameB.geometricBounds = Array(72, 72, 144, 144)
    mycount = myTextFrameB.InsertionPoints.Count
    msgbox(mycount)
    myTextFrameA.NextTextFrame = myTextFrameB
    mycount = myTextFrameB.InsertionPoints.Count
    msgbox(mycount)
    myTextFrameB.InsertionPoints.FirstItem.Contents = "This is Bob"
    Rem "Program Crashes"
