Hi,

I have an indesign file with lot of math type equation are EPS as in links.

Now I want extract the indesign file as rtf format. I know math type is not directly support the indesign. So I want to get the links name and delete the links from the indesign document. My script is getting the link name. I don’t know how to delete the links and place the link name the relevant position.

my script is:

for(var myLinkCounter = app.activeDocument.links.length -1 ; myLinkCounter > 0; myLinkCounter --)
{
    myLink = app.activeDocument.links.item(myLinkCounter);
            myLinkName=myLink.name;
            //alert(myLinkName);
           
                if (myLinkName.indexOf("Eqn"))

                {

                   
                }

}

Please help me for further............

Thanks

M. Karthikeyan

Hi Karthik,

Please try the below JS code, i hope you expected this!

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myLink = myDoc.links;
for (i=myLink.length-1; i>=0; i--){     
     var myLinkitem = myLink;
     var myname = myLink.name;
     app.select(myLinkitem.parent);
     var mySel = app.selection[0];
     app.select(mySel.parent);
     mySel.remove();
     app.selection[0].contentType = ContentType.TEXT_TYPE;
     app.selection[0].contents = myname;
     //app.selection[0].fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
     }

thx
