I run to create a new InDesign document:

app.documents.add();

The new document is given a name "Untitled-1". How specify name of the document without saving?

Hi,

Document name is "read only" and relative to file name or - in case of unsaved docs - set according to application local scheme (i.e "Untitled-13")

What is the reason you want to set this name? Just for display?

The new document is created based on an already open. The user can examine it and take a decision to close or save. It will be more convenient to define the name of the source.

The ideal would be something like this:

app.documents.add({name: "myDocument"});

or create from a template:

app.open(myFile, true, OpenOptions.OPEN_COPY, "myDocument");
