With CS4, some things have changed

Harbs,

You're welcome to start such a topic. I'll make sure it stays at or near the top.

At http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/pdf_dictionaries.html is a list with all properties, methods, and enumerations of InDesign's CS4 object model. New items are highlighted, so that it is easy to see what has been added since CS3.

Hi Dave,

Thankfully, this thread should be much much shorter than the CS3 one.
There have been very few changes that will effect existing scripts. How
about starting another thread for new features? There's a number of new
features I'm quite happy about! (Like UndoMode, isValid, ScriptUI
enhancements, etc.) I think they're worth discussing.

One thing to watch for, which isn't really a scripting change but may well<br />affect scripts, is the change to the way rulers work when the document<br />origin is set to spine.<br /><br />In CS4, the rulers measure out from the spine, with values to the left<br />negative and values to the right positive. This means, for example, items on<br />page 2 of a typical facing pages document will have bounds such that x2 is<br />less than x1 if the origin is set to spine.<br /><br />It might be prudent to start setting the origin to a known value at the<br />beginning of some scripts, to avoid surprises.<br /><br />Ironically, the values returned in CS4 match the way they were returned when<br />scripting InDesign (but not in the UI) many versions ago.<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <sstanley@myriad-com.com.au>

The TextWrapPreferences property previously known as textWrapType is now called textWrapMode.

This affected my WrapNudger. To see how I handled the change so WrapNudger would work with both CS3 and CS4, see this topic in my blog.
