an Illustrator error occurred: 1346458189 ('PARM')

Salut,

Oui effectivement sous Windows il y a bien ce message d'erreur, je l'ai constaté à mon tour,

il suffit d'annuler la ligne //docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

ensuite après l'exécution du script clic droit et tout fermer.

Testé sur SC6 avec cette copie un peu modifiée (sous calques jusqu'à 10 niveaux et 6 fichiers)

#target illustrator

  var fileNameDefinition = "*.ai";
  var sourceFolder = new Folder(sourceFolderPath);

So it's year 2018 and i have the same problem...

I have this code:

#target illustrator    var doc = app.activeDocument;  function createOutlines(){ var tFrames = doc.textFrames;    for ( var i = 0; i < tFrames.length; i++ ) {        tFrames.createOutline();    }; }; createOutlines ();

when i'm running it separatly (no matter from AI or ESTK) it works fine,

but i want it to be a part of a bigger script, and no matter what i do the effect is the same

I had the same problem. Anyone has a general solution for the problem?

I'm having this error at random too... I have pined it down to a loop that is going threw the activeDocuments swatches looking for a specific name.

Its driving me crazy!

This has been working just fine and now it keeps doing this.

I think I need to find a better way to get the color of swatch I want. I have a custom color Palette I wish I knew how to just access that and use those colors rather than having to make a swatch for the active document.

Any fix for this? I ran into this error tonight, and found your post. My script is really simple and I'm using it to collect layers into a layer named "Collected", if there are more than 2 layers. I even tried the suggested fix in this readme: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/illustrator/scripting/Readme.txt. But  I'm getting an error simply when referencing a the current executing layer. I tried referencing the current layer in the loop directly, but it still causes issues. If I get rid of the move line(which is the entire reason for this script) it works just fine.

var layerCount = actDoc.layers.length;

$.write("\n//Layer Name\nLayer Count: "+layerCount+"\n////////////////////////////////")

var placeInLayer = actDoc.layers['Collected'];

if(layerCount > 0) {

    for(i=0;i<layerCount;i++) {

        try{var topLayers = actDoc.layers;}

        catch("    |    "+e) {

         $.write(e)

        }

        $.write("\nLayer Name: "+topLayers.name+"    |    Count: "+i+" ")

        subLayers = topLayers.layers;

        if(topLayers.name == "Collected") continue;

        topLayers.move(placeInLayer,ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);

   }

}

I've been debugging a script that gives me the same error if I close a file before moving to the next one. If I comment out the closing and leave all the files open then it works fine. When I use the debugger and step through the code I can see my array of layers that the script collects will sometimes have a bad layer which causes the crash because it has no layer properties or methods and I'm trying to use them. Illustrator has been the most frustrating adobe product for me to script for hands down.

Hey Jens,

I'm doing a lot of batch processing and I also received the PARM-error, but I found a solution to it:

Before you run your script, press the TAB-key. That's it.

It will remove all illustrator panels and my guess is that the panels try to keep up with the changes your script is doing, but when they're not visible they don't. And that freed me from my PARM-error. Hope it will do the same for you!

I've had this error number several times… Im still not sure what its down to (most likely my code I thinks). Does ESTK not give you any more indications than that dialog? I last got this error only last week when making a variable to a collection of objects then moving some where the reference to the index becomes broken. Your layer check worked without issue when repeatedly run with just an active doc…
