Convert back to area text failed by jsx?

Hi @LoveYou阿逗逼6666, there are two problems

(a) the convertAreaObjectToPointObject and convertPointObjectToAreaObject methods destroy the text frame and create a new (converted) one, so your reference "text" will be invalid after the first convert, and

(b) the convertAreaObjectToPointObject and convertPointObjectToAreaObject methods should, according to the docs (and common sense!) return a reference to the new converted text frame—but they don't; they return null.

A workaround is something like the following:

function convert(name, contentNew) {
    var textFrameList = app.activeDocument.textFrames;
    for (var i = 0; i < textFrameList.length; i++) {
        var text = textFrameList[i];
        var group = text.parent.groupItems.add();
        group.move(text, ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);
        text.move(group, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
        text.convertAreaObjectToPointObject();
        text = group.pageItems[0];
        text.convertPointObjectToAreaObject();
        text = group.pageItems[0];
        text.move(group, ElementPlacement.PLACEBEFORE);
        group.remove();
    }
};

I put the text frame into a group, so that after it is converted, and the old item is gone, it is simple to get a reference to the new item.
