Strange that const works in your script, because it isn't a const. But anyway, UXP thinks it's not a problem (ExtendScript correctly returns an error here).   But your script works fine over here. Though when I try some other properties and run the script as a UXP one, I get the same error you saw. commentPathGeometry, for instance, throws that error. Both in 2024 and 2025 on Windows. Strange situation. ... View more

The table of contents used to have a trailing return, like the index. In the toc it was removed a couple of years ago. But Adobe left it in the index. They haven't touched the index since it was introduced many years ago. Sometimes I think they forgot that InDesign has an index. Or they're afraid of it.  ... View more

The script that Michel referred to can be used in a generated index. If you want to mark up index items in the index panel, so to speak, that is, before generating the index, then you can set the page range on the page reference:     This will produce a page range (or truncated page numbers). ...

You cannot clip a table and keep it as a text object. It's just impossible. As stated earlier (and in the link you provided) the only two ways are:   1. Convert to a graphic 2. Mask the parts you want to make invisible.   Note that the answer marked as correct in the other post claims only that part of the table will be visible after the paste. It doesn't say that the table remains a text object.   Masking the parts that stick out of the frame is very simple, by the way: you just place text frames (or rectangles (paper fill, no stroke) on top of the parts you want to hide. Easy to script too. ... View more

You can't clip a table like that. The only way to achieve that is what InDesign already does for you: convert the frame with the table to a graphic.   You could cover the extending part of the table with a text frame and give it the Paper fill and group the whole thing, that's the closest you'll get I think. ...

> take a table which is inside a text frame and "pasteInto" the same text frame, so that the table clipped to the text frame dimensions.   This isn't very clear. Please explain in more detail, with a screenshot of the before and after situations of what you want to achieve.   As to pasteInto, in scripting you'd use duplicate() or move(), thay're more reliable, and you can maintain references. Much more robust than copying and pasting. ... View more

There is a trick to do that: at the end of each line type a dot (or any other character), then apply negative kerning to the insertion point between the 'real' last character (colon, T, N) and the following dot. You can make those characters invisible by applying the Paper colour.   Problem is of course that those dots appear in the table of contents, so you'll have to delete them there after you generate the TOC.   This is a variant of forcing letters out of the frame on the left in left-aligned text. There you can use invisible characters (such as a discretionary hyphen) for the dummy characters, but unfortunately that doesn't work in right-aligned text. ... View more

You meant the first 14 characters, correct? Not the first 13.     jpgName = app.activeDocument.name.replace (/(.{14}).+/, '$1.jpg');   or perhaps   jpgName = app.activeDocument.name.replace (/^([-\d]+).+/, '$1.jpg')   which amounts to 'all digits and dashes from the start of the string', so you needn't worry about how many characters you want to catch.   > And then save the export file on the desktop without changing the path on every machine   What exactly do you mean by 'witout changing the path'?

The character is a strange beast. It's used for the index marker, text anchor, and a few other things. When you select it and open the Info panel you'll see that its Unicode value is FEFF. In the text tab you can find it by searching for <FEFF>. Unfortunately it's not possible to find it in the Grep tab. \x{FEFF} won't find it, for example.   In the story editor you'll notice that it looks like a text anchor, but that symbol you see there could be used for other purposes as well, I forget.     ...
