Indesign server doesn't create package

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to create a package on Indesign Server 2025 (Windows). No package is generated, but also no exception is thrown. The script works well on the desktop version (Mac).

 

		try {
			result = _myIndesignDoc.packageForPrint(packageDocFolder, copyFonts, copyLinks, copyProfiles, updateGraphics, includeHiddenLayers, ignorePreflightErrors, createReport, includeIDML, includePDF);
		} catch (ex) {
			log("ERROR", "ERROR: Could not create package: " + ex);
		}

 

How to find out why the package is not created. Does Indesign server has some extended logging?

 

Can this be a performance issue? Lack of CPU / Memory?

 

Thank you.

 

Tm

Some export functions in ID Server are deffierent from those in ID Desktop (PDF export, for example). I don't know whether packaging is different, you can check that in an ID Server object model. Not sure where to find that, but googling around should uncover it.
