[JS CS5] Trouble with user interaction when exporting to Interactive PDF

I'm exporting to PDF with:

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;

app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INTERACTIVE_PDF, new File(myDocBaseName+".pdf"));

If I export to Interactive PDF manually, but choosing File > Export and selecting Adobe PDF (Interactive), I get an overset text warning dialog, and then a missing font warning dialog, and then a transparency blend space warning dialog, and then a progress dialog. But when I run the script, it just quietly exports the PDF with no dialogs at all.

What am I missing? I'm not getting any interaction!

Correct answer Harbs.

I'm not sure, but it could be that suppressing showing the export dialog also suppresses the related alerts.

You might need to show the dialog:

app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INTERACTIVE_PDF, new File(myDocBaseName+".pdf"),true);

Thank you Harbs. That did it. Displaying the export dialog with the "true" parameter makes the userInteraction work. Strange. Now I can stop banging my head against the wall!
