error 55 object does not support the property or method 'paths'

Hi @cafefatbear , Not sure if this helps, but you don’t need to construct a a frame for the images, if you place them directly on the page their parent would be a container frame with the same bounds.

So you could simplify and add pages as needed (when .isValid returns as false). Something like this:

var f = Folder.selectDialog("Select the folder containing the images", ""); 
if(f != null){ 
    var fl = f.getFiles(/\.(jpg|jpeg|eps|pdf|png|indd|tif|gif|psd|ai)$/i); 
}

//the script’s measurement unit
app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.POINTS;
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var p, img, tf;
for (var i = 0; i < fl.length; i++){
    //add a page if needed
    if (doc.pages[i].isValid) {
        p = doc.pages[i]
    } else {
        p = doc.pages.add()
    }
    //place the image on the page—the image’s container frame would be img[0].parent
    img = p.place(fl[i]);
    //make a text frame below the image with the file name as contents
    tf = p.textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[img[0].geometricBounds[2], 
        img[0].geometricBounds[1], 
        img[0].geometricBounds[2] + 20, 
        img[0].geometricBounds[3]], 
        contents:fl[i].name})
};   

//reset
app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = AutoEnum.AUTO_VALUE;

Hello i do not know where to put my question but I also got an error 55. In the below script for automating import images from a folder to pages in indesign i have this line "var page = doc.pages[pageNumber - 1]; "

in my code that gives me an error. my .csv has 2 columns. one with titles and one with numbers 1 till 7

Kind regards jeroen

var csvFilePath = "datasheet.csv";
var imageFolderPath = "OUTPUTFOLDER";

var csvFile = File(csvFilePath);
csvFile.open("r");
var csvData = csvFile.read();
csvFile.close();

var csvRows = csvData.split("\n");

for (var i = 0; i < csvRows.length; i++) {
var rowData = csvRows[i].split(","); 

var fileName = rowData[0]; 
var pageNumber = parseInt(rowData[1]); 

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var page = doc.pages[pageNumber - 1]; 
var imageFile = File(imageFolderPath + "/" + fileName);

if (imageFile.exists) {
var imageFrame = page.rectangles.add(); 
imageFrame.place(imageFile); 
imageFrame.fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY); 

var textFrame = page.textFrames.add();
textFrame.contents = fileName;
textFrame.geometricBounds = [imageFrame.geometricBounds[2], imageFrame.geometricBounds[1], imageFrame.geometricBounds[2] + 20, imageFrame.geometricBounds[3]];
} else {
alert("Image not found: " + fileName);
}
}

I am unsure what you are storing in myOutGroupPics1.

Just to place an Image file into an already made rectangle you can do this like this:

var myImagFile = File("~/Desktop/Untitled.png");
var myRectangle = app.documents[0].pages[0].rectangles[0];
myRectangle.place(myImagFile);
myRectangle.fit(FitOptions.CONTENT_TO_FRAME);

Best
