[CS5] Unable to save or close a document

Hi Caerwyn,

First of all thanks a lot for replying to the post.

Well the issue is not exactly with opening any CS4 document in CS5 as i am creating new document in InDesign CS5  all the time.On further analysis , i found that even my plugin is not able to save the document using IDocFileHandler->Save(docUIDRef);.Save option fails only when the database is corrupt,but even that doesn't seem to be the case here as i am able to manually save the document.Only if i am saving using command,it is not saving the document.Any idea what could probably be wrong??

Regards,

Hi Andrews,

Even i am porting my project from CS4 to CS5.I had a functionality wherein i had to close the document after generating the xml.For closing the document, i am using IDocFileHandler->Close(docUIDRef,uiFlags).On using kSuppress as uiFlags ,its working fine.But on Selecting kFullUI as uiFlags, i am not able to save the document.If i try to save the document before closing ,it showing "cannot save document1.indd".I tried looking in the forum but apart from this post,couldn't find much help.Can somebody please help me out on this.

Regards,

Hello Andrew,

here is Adam from the thread you already read. I might some more hints for you. First, when I was saving my document, I needed to add a textframe, then export the document *with* the textframe to XML and after that I deleted the textframe so the user doest see anything. So it looked like:

SaveMyDoc(docref)

{

     1. add a textframe

     2. export my XML file

     3. delete my textframe

     4. call IDocFileHandler to save it <- here CanSaveAs Asserted

}

When I changed to following style, I got what I needed without the Assert

SaveMyDoc(docref)

{

     1. call IDocFileHandler to save it

     2. add a textframe

     3. export my XML file

     4. delete the textframe

}

I got no assert, but the document was dirty and the user had to do Save again which was not nice.

I added line 5:

     call IDocFileHandler to revert to the saved file.

Now it feels OK.

More notes: my methods are in a facade in the model plugin and are called via Utils<IIMyUtils>(). I double checked my commands which set the persistent data in my document.

Lets hope what is written here is useful.
