[AS] Saving a file without creating an idlk file

Hi there,

I have an AppleScript that open an InDesign template (indt), import a XML file and then save the document to another folder than the one where the XML file and the template are living.

The problem, and I don't see how to resolve it, is that InDesign always create a lock file (idlk) with the new document and I don't seem to find a way to close the new document.

Here's the script:

Translating:

chemin_fichier_xml                           == path_to_xml_file

chemin_gabarit_indesign                   == path_to_indesign_template

chemin_nouveau_fichier_indesign      == path_to_new_indesign_file

on genere_fichier_indesign(chemin_fichier_xml, chemin_gabarit_indesign, chemin_nouveau_fichier_indesign)

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"

set ce_document to open chemin_gabarit_indesign without showing window

tell ce_document

tell XML import preferences

set import style to merge import

set repeat text elements to true

set import text into tables to true

set import CALS tables to true

end tell

import XML from chemin_fichier_xml

set le_nouveau_document to chemin_nouveau_fichier_indesign

tell ce_document to save to le_nouveau_document with force save

(* this will generate an error *)

-- try

-- close ce_document saving no

-- close le_nouveau_document saving yes

-- end try

end tell

end tell

end genere_fichier_indesign

TIA

Cheers
