2. The scale X percentage option shold have short key so that I don´t have to write 100% manually in the meny while working in prepress.

   The scale X percentage option shold have short key so that I don´t have to write 100% manually in the meny while working in prepress. When I update links in my prepress documents the scale down to 91% and that´s really frustrating that I can´t just mark them and use a short key to resize them to 100%. Especially if you have updated for example 50 links.

3. Scripted iterative document open/close fails to close files

   Note: my sample code is jsx, but the problem may not be limited to jsx.

   We have multiple products that sometimes show a problem with document.close() not actually closing the file, leading to incorrect functioning, memory bloat, slowdowns, and we believe some crashes. I provide a test script that takes a currently open document and iteratively copies it, opens the copy, then closes the copy -- after the loop is finished, the copy files are removed.

   Important: If run from the ESTK or Scripts Panel, the script works as expected -- no problems. If run from a custom menu (setup script also provided), the problem happens every time.

   We believe we've seen this in cases where a custom menu is not the launch mechanism, and may be intermittent in those cases.

   We believe we've seen this in InDesign Server as well. My scripts have been tested in CC 2019 and CC 2020 and on both Win and Mac.

   In order to run the "Test_menu.jsx" script for using a custom menu, the "Documents left open on close.jsx" script must be in a "TestScripts" folder in your 'home' or 'user' folder (i.e., inside of "~/TestScripts").

   This problem is a real headache and is difficult to work around. It affects multiple product areas; we urge prompt attention to this problem.

   Thanks.

4. Enable XML export in Word file format so tagging and attributes are preserved.

   InDesign cannot currently export an XML structured file in Word file format, either because Word does not recognize the tags and attributes or because those elements are not within the document content. Please make an export possible so that XML structured content can be exported in Word file format and then reimported into InDesign.

6. Make ImageCatalog Script an integral contact sheet function in InDesign

   Good morning. There is a sample script in InDesign that I LOVE! It makes contact sheets much quicker (and using far less memory) than Photoshop or Bridge. If you have a hundred images and want to make a contact page, this script is the way to go. Much more efficient. The Script is the ImageCatalog under JavaScript samples in the Scripts window. This has always been available, and always worked very well until the last couple of updates. Now when I run it, it just sits there. If I try saving the images again (save a copy) or saving them as a different format (jpeg vs tiff or tiff vs jpeg), sometimes it works. Again - I LOVE this script, and wish you would just make it a regular feature. Is there something I should be doing with my images before I run the script?

   These are sample scripts that ship with InDesign. They show up under Windows / Utilities / Scripts / Samples / JavaScript / ImageCatalog.jsx. There is no vendor to contact other than Adobe for this one. There is another version of this under Windows / Utilities / Scripts / Samples / AppleScript / ImageCatalog.jsx, but I've never been able to get the AppleScript version to work.

7. [CS6 to 2020 15.0.1.209] documentPreferences.snippetImportUsesOriginalLocation | values true and false do the opposite what they should do

   Hi,
   if I set value for snippetImportUsesOriginalLocation of documentPreferences to true, InDesign will place a snippet file with spread.place( snippetFile ) always at the current zero point [0,0].

   Wheras I set the value to false the snippet will be placed at its original position.

   It should be exactly the other way.

   Currently value false will use the original position and value true will chose the current zero point as defined with app.documents[0].zeroPoint .

   Tested with German InDesign versions:
   CS6 8.1.0
   CC 2014 10.2.
   2020 v. 15.0.1.209
   All on WIndows 10.

   In the discussion linked to below Gerald Singelmann can see this also on a Mac OSX-version of InDesign:

8. nextItem() doesn't work

   Instructions:

   1. Load Script4.txt into ExtendScript CC
   2. Open ID CC 2019
   3. Connect ExtendScript CC to ID CC 2019
   4. Run the script
   5. Observe that line 8 gives an "Object is invalid" error. That's because the nextItem() on line 6 didn't work.

   To see this more clearly:

   1. Load Script4.txt into ExtendScript CC
   2. Open ID CC 2019
   3. Connect ExtendScript CC to ID CC 2019
   4. Comment line 6 and uncomment line 7.
   5. Run the script
   6. The script runs fine. It prints out "2", the name of the second page.

   In other words, nextItem() is broken. The work around (in this case) is to use an index of "Page_263.index+1". I think, in other situations, the work around will require a loop.

   Instructions:

   1. Load Script4.txt into ExtendScript CC
   2. Open ID CC 2019
   3. Connect ExtendScript CC to ID CC 2019

9. Script failing ... strangely

   Instructions:

   1. Load Script.txt into ExtendScript CC
   2. Open ID CC 2019
   3. Connect ExtendScript CC to ID CC 2019
   4. Run the script
   5. Observe that the script gives an error on line 6 (Invalid object for this request.) This is because TextFrame281 and TextFrame284 are the same object. They should be different objects.

   To see this more clearly:

   1. Load script.txt into ExtendScript CC
   2. Open ID CC 2019
   3. Connect ExtendScript CC to ID CC 2019
   4. Uncomment line 4 (var temp = TextFrame_281.id)
   5. Run the script
   6. The script runs fine. If you look in the document that has been created, the two text frames are in the upper right corner and they are linked to each other.

   In other words, the value of TextFrame_281 changes, depending on whether it is accessed. My only guess is that this is some kind of lazy evaluation gone wrong.

   1. Load Script.txt into ExtendScript CC

12. Allow for control of undo tracking Re: Undo Set Scripting Tag

    Currently the only way to manipulate the undo queue is to run a script with doScript and even then it's very limiting. With my current event listeners, the user clicks around a few times and the undo queue fills up with 'Undo Set Scripting Tag' and they are unable to undo simple changes without holding down CTRL+Z for a few seconds. I am unable to use doScript because I need to return values to my interface. I would like to suggest an option to temporarily suspend undo tracking during certain script actions. Some of my actions do not change the document and only update the interface.

13. Where to find InDesign document links API reference?

    Where do I find the API reference for document links? (As show in the Links tab.) I've found scripting guides and various bits of documentation, but I can't find a complete object model reference.

    Newcomer to InDesign scripting. All I need is to dump the full path of every linked image to a text file. I've found a script online which does this, but it only outputs each link's 'name'. A fuller version of the same script dumps out the size and file type as well.

    I'd like to modify this script to dump out 'path', but 'path' doesn't seem to be the property name, and I can't figure out where to find the list of property names. Am I missing something? Does this documentation exist?

15. Preferences folder access via ExtendScript with macOS Catalina public beta 3

    I've installed macOS X Catalina public beta 3 and I have an annoying issue with scripting.
    I can't access to the user's preferences folder via Javascript even if I've assigned to InDesign full file system access in the security panel of the system preferences.
    I can't read any files inside the user's Library so that I can't load a GREP query for example.

    Hope you find a fix on this.

17. ExtendScript feature: asynchronous PDF export for indb books

    I'd like to see an asynchronous export option for indb books as it exists for indd documents because why not.
    Currently I work with 10 indb projects and I'd like to export them by 4 using all the power of my 4-core cpu, but I can only export them one by one due to lack of asynchronous export option.
    At the same time I'm able to export 4 indd files using existing asynchronousExportFile() method.

20. problems with work speed

    I change formats of single letters or total paragraphs in a book. If I do this at a start of a indesign file (70 pages, 270 footnotes, no pictures, only opened part of the book) it lasts up to 40 seconds until I can work further. If I do this further to the end of the document the delay is lessens.
